"Practice hard for me. You bastards are starving to death on the roadside. You're about to meet Amaterasu. Who saved you?"
Suzuki Nakatasu had just entered the military camp when he heard the loud voice of Okawa Gensaburo.
In that war before, Kato Jiro showed his talent in training troops, so Kato Jiro directly surpassed Ohkawa Gensaburo and became the number one military figure around Li Xiang, which made Ohkawa Gensaburo unable to tolerate this.
Although the Kato family is also an old family, it is still inferior to the Ohkawa Gen family. Such a rubbish descendant actually climbed over his head, so Ohkawa Gen Saburo absolutely cannot tolerate it. Now he is trying his best to train his soldiers. Next time, as long as there is a chance to show up, he must suppress that guy Kato Jiro.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
Listening to the soldiers' responses, Suzuki Nakatsu felt a little sad for some reason. Is this the next generation of Fuso's army? Initially, he thought this brainwashing policy was useless. Everyone's mind was like a mirror. Could shouting a few slogans make them forget that this place used to be called Fuso?
But after a period of development, Suzuki-sama also realized the power of this brainwashing. When you say these words every day, it will form a fixed memory in your mind. A day or two won't change your mind, but a month or two may start to waver. After a year or two of this, will these people still remember the original situation? They are just His Royal Highness's most loyal minions.
"Master Suzuki?"
When Ohkawa Genzaburo was about to continue training, he turned around and saw Lord Suzuki's carriage. This guy regretted it last time. If he could have reached a cooperation with Lord Suzuki, his position in the army would definitely not be so miserable now.
Unfortunately, they have already passed that step. Now the military power in the hands of Suzuki-sama has been handed over to Kato Jiro.
Jiro Kato is the real number one in the military. If it weren't for the fact that Okawa Gensaburo still had so many troops under his command, I'm afraid this guy would have left too.
"Let's find a quieter place. His Royal Highness has ordered that your men no longer need to train here every day. Didn't you say before that there was no opportunity? Now this opportunity has come, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
After Lord Suzuki finished speaking, a smile appeared on Okawa Genzaburo's face. Wasn't he mainly responsible for the army during this period, and there was nothing else going on around him? How could there be a chance to make meritorious service?
Although Ohkawa Genzaburo had doubts in his heart, he still took Lord Suzuki to the tent next door. After his subordinates served him tea, he quickly drove his subordinates out. He was eager to make a contribution and surpass Kato Jiro. What else was there that he was willing to do?
"Just tell me what you want to say. You have no idea how frustrated I've been lately. I even feel like the birds outside are laughing at me. Our family is one of the best samurai families in all of Fuso, but what have I done now? A jerk like Kato Jiro dares to speak so loudly in front of me. I wish I could stab him to death."
Ohkawa Genzaburo said excitedly that every time he heard someone mention Asada Jiro, he wanted to go up and duel with others. The mood that he had suppressed with great difficulty was now broken again.
"A three-foot-thick ice doesn't form overnight. Your family may be one of the most powerful Wu clans, but what have you been doing all these years? What have you been doing? You've been resting on your laurels, so this is a perfectly normal outcome. You need to adjust your mindset."
Seeing that Okawa Genzaburo always loses his mind about this matter, Lord Suzuki has to say a few words, at least the two of them have a history between their ancestors.
"I'm not here to tell you this. I have something important to tell you. Remember, take your troops and set off tonight. Your target is the Ueno family."
When he heard the name, Ohkawa Genzaburo was stunned for a moment. He certainly knew whose family this was. This was his children's in-laws. One of his daughters married into the Ueno family.
"Why would I go?"
Ohkawa Genzaburo was not aware of the affairs of the imperial court, and he was even less clear about them. Local officials from all over the country had made up a pretext and deceived His Highness Tyson, so now His Highness the Crown Prince Long Yan was furious and wanted to treat the Ueno family as a chicken to scare the monkey.
"Let you go and destroy them..."
Lord Suzuki took a sip of tea, and then slowly told the whole story. Ohkawa Genzaburo's face was full of anger at this time. He had already put himself in the shoes of the general, and now he was a general under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"These bastards are truly despicable. They actually deceived our Highness. You don't need to tell me about this matter. I will immediately take my men out tonight and kill their entire family tomorrow morning."
Ohkawa Genzaburo said viciously, and Lord Suzuki next to him also gave a thumbs up. It seems that in the face of absolute power and interests, in-laws are simply shit.
"It would be great if you could do this. His Highness gave you this mission to maintain balance. Although Kato Jiro is currently the top military official, His Highness doesn't trust him at all, and certainly doesn't trust you either. Therefore, you and he have equal status. As long as you do your job well, you will be able to control at least half of the power in the future."
After hearing what Lord Suzuki said, Ohkawa Genzaburo felt a little better. The last time His Highness sent the army, it was Kato Jiro's army, and he felt that he had fallen out of favor. But after returning to the capital, His Highness did not let him go back to his hometown, but instead asked him to train troops around the capital. At that time, he felt that there was still a hope, but he did not expect that he would have the opportunity so soon.
"I'm going to gather the team and have them prepare in advance. The Ueno family has a thousand death warriors, and they are not easy to deal with."
Ohkawa Genzaburo was very familiar with his son-in-law. Although they were civil servants, they had long since strengthened their armed forces in such an environment. In addition, they were located around the capital, so they were very wary.
Lord Suzuki didn't know what he felt in his heart when he saw the hurried Ohkawa Gensaburo. And those local officials who deceived His Highness, probably all of you will end up in trouble.
