Chapter 238 The visitor is evil

Yan Xu could think of these things, and the Mori family, who had a better understanding of the surrounding situation, could certainly think of them as well, so the envoy team came with ill intentions.

"The fact that the Mori family sent an envoy here this time means there is a high possibility that they will take action." Yan Xu, who had turned into a sage, waved his hand, asked Sen Yu to stand up, then stood up, touched his chin and said.

"Master, should we arrange for ninjas to infiltrate the Mori family's envoys to investigate?" Mori Yu said vaguely.

"No need. The envoys are just targets thrown out by the Mori family to attract attention. They are not important. They may even deliberately leave clues to mislead us. Sometimes the more intelligence you know, the better, especially false intelligence." With the increase of experience, Yan Xu has indeed grown a lot in some aspects. At least when the intelligence is in place, some not very clever plans really cannot be hidden from him, especially with the limitations of the island country, it is impossible to come up with any new tricks.

"Unable to mobilize a large army, the Mori family can only take the enemy by surprise and make multiple preparations if they want to defeat the Moroboshi family that occupies Amano Castle. Only in this way can they ensure that the goal can be achieved even if there is a problem in any link." Yan Xu thought of something again and asked Sen Yu to remove the moisture for him. After feeling refreshed, he went to the study next door.

There is a detailed sand table of the Amano Castle area here, as well as a large amount of relevant information. Yan Xu does not just play tricks with women on a daily basis, he also thinks about and perfects the next strategy when he has free time.

As for the ignorance at the beginning when I was young, I wondered if it would be annoying to go in and out all day and how it would be wear and tear. But when my physical fitness reached a level where I could ignore the physical consumption, my energy was so strong that it was bubbling, and there were many kinds of women, I realized that it was not a question of whether it was suitable or not, but whether it could work.

After walking around the sand table several times and looking through the relevant information, Yan Xu already had an idea of ​​the Mori family's actions this time.

The war among island nations is actually not that complicated, because of the land area and population size, plus the almost non-existent distance between the forces. Often times, if you stand on a high point, you can see what your mortal enemy is doing. In this case, there are only two ways: masculinity and conspiracy. The former is a head-on attack, while the latter is a stab in the back. It is not difficult to guess.

The Mori family hired the demon ninja to assassinate him as a sinister means, but it was not enough.

Let’s not talk about whether the assassination will be successful. Even if it is successful, troops will still be needed to capture Amano Castle.

Therefore, there must be other means of coordination, otherwise, whether it is the envoy group or the hired demon ninja, it will be meaningless.

According to Yan Xu's calculations, if the Mori family wants to recapture Amano Castle, the navy will definitely appear, because as long as the Moroboshi family's new fleet is still there, Amano Castle will never be at peace even if it is recaptured, and it will not be able to play its original role.

Because the Moroboshi family's new fleet can return at any time and turn Amano Castle into a sea of ​​fire again.

Therefore, the Mori family's navy must take this opportunity to annihilate the Moroboshi family's new fleet, and then seize the method of building new ships, so as to regain naval superiority and continue to rest assured.

"Interesting. I'm afraid this matter is not only pushed by the Mori family, but other forces are also involved." Yan Xu squinted his eyes and stared at the second sub-island next to the sub-island on the sand table.

If Yan Xu had not noticed this, the success rate of the Mori navy would have been quite high.

Especially without the involvement of the navies of the Amago, Kono and Miyoshi families, and without any tip-offs, there is a high possibility that the Mori family's navy will catch the Moroboshi family's new fleet by surprise.

Although the three families had worked together to help the Moroboshi family withstand the pressure from the Mori family, the Moroboshi family was able to stabilize the situation after occupying the new Amano Castle.

But it was only because it was in their interests at the time, but now it is different. The existence of the new fleet of the Moroboshi family is also a huge threat to them. Especially after the decline of the Mori family's navy, the Moroboshi family's navy is the most likely to replace it, or even be better.

This is intolerable. The Mori family's navy is gone, and the Moroboshi family's navy is here. This is all in vain. Therefore, the three families who are unwilling to accept this will definitely try to make both the Moroboshi family and the Mori family suffer losses, and then take the opportunity to seize the construction method of the new fleet. Only in this way will it be in the best interests of the three families.

"It's not easy." After figuring this out, Yan Xu grinned and rubbed his eyebrows worriedly.

Although the new fleet is good, its number is limited. Whether it is building the hull, installing the steam engine, or training the new navy, all these take time. Otherwise, Yan Xu would not have used the strategy to burn the port of Amano Castle. If there were enough fleets, there would be no need to do this.

The problem now is that the Moroboshi family not only has to face the main naval force of the Mori family, but also the possible taking advantage of the fire by the Amago family, the Kono family and the Miyoshi family, because these three families will definitely not let go of the Moroboshi family's new fleet construction technology. This immediately made Yan Xu feel that they were short of manpower.

"Moriyu."

"Hi."

"Send an order, have the new fleet return to Fukujima, and at the same time strengthen patrols in the waters around Fukujima to guard against enemy invasion. If necessary, be prepared to blow up the shipyard." Yan Xu made a choice between Amano Castle and Fukujima.

Compared to Amano Castle, Fushima is obviously more important, because as long as Fushima is there, Yan Xu can start over again no matter how many times he fails.

After losing the secondary island, it would take at least one or two years to rebuild a new base that could support his fight for the main island, and that too without anyone interrupting.

Not to mention how much resources would be required, Yan Xu was unwilling to waste the time alone, so nothing could go wrong on the secondary island.

This doesn't mean that Yan Xu will give up Amano Castle. He is a man with cheats, so how can he be judged by common sense?

In fact, in Yan Xu's opinion, the key to the battle with the Mori family lies in the army, because the ships can never reach the shore.

Besides, the Mori family came to recapture Amano Castle, not to destroy it. Even if he gave up the port area and the commercial area, would the Mori family's navy dare to set fire and kill people like he did?
It was because of this confidence that Yan Xu dared to let the new fleet return to the secondary island to strengthen the defense, and at the same time concentrate the limited forces to deal with the next measures of the Mori family, such as the army.

The source of the Mori family's army, apart from the envoys, is the ninjas and samurai who sneaked in during this period, and their number will not be too large.

After all, they are a team of envoys, so they cannot bring too many people, otherwise everyone will know that there is something wrong with them. Even if they also know that the Moroboshi family knows that there is something wrong with them, they cannot exaggerate too much, such as bringing several thousand people and saying that it is a team of envoys. So there are at most two or three hundred people, plus the people who have sneaked in during this period, the total number will not exceed one thousand.

Because if there were more, it would be impossible to hide it. There are only a few people in the entire Amano Castle area. Sending thousands of people to ambush, do they really think that everyone in the Moroboshi family will be dead?
