Today, we will continue to introduce the story of the tragedy that led to the tragedy of the Otani family due to the background of the Battle of Sekigahara.
Now cut into the plot from the perspective of the governor of the Otani family in the Battle of Sekigahara, Otani Yoshitsugu, and the regular plot in the early stage will not be repeated:
The next thing was to choose to join the war, because Otani Yoshitsugu attached too much importance to friendship, so from the perspective of friends (Otani Yoshitsugu and Ishida Mitsugu became Fa Xiao, who grew up together) and relatives (Otani Yoshitsugu's daughter was Sanada Yukimura Masamuro, Sanada Masayuki and Ishida Mitsushi became brothers-in-law), they all chose to be the arbiter first, and then joined the Western Army. This may have been the inspiration for the tragedy.
Otani Yoshitsugu did make up his mind at the beginning to avoid fighting the princes directly, but he still couldn't bear to communicate with each other in a small language.
Continuing to think deeply, it is still necessary to consider that the master of the Toyotomi family is still too young, and even if these pro-Toyotomi generals want to move Tokugawa and other bigwigs, they need to wait for the right time.
It's a pity that Sancheng, who has the courage but no strategy, or is not resourceful, still lacks consideration in acting, does not fully consider the capital of both the enemy and us, and does not listen to the opinions of his comrades, which is a taboo in the use of the art of war.
Historically, Otani had no choice but to support his old friend's move, while also comforting both sides with his own injuries.
After the meeting with the old friend, the next step is to report to the leader.
Next came the pre-war preparations and speeches, in which Yukicho Konishi prayed in addition to prayers:
In terms of considering the information management of war, Yoshitsugu Otani has his own unique ideas, and there are many monologues in the plot, such as suspicion of internal responses and so on.
Entering the battlefield formation, the battle situation developed rapidly, and the Otani army was on the defensive, but still broke through two enemy forces.
Although the Otani army had the upper hand, the other brother troops were in a state of anxiety, and the "undercover agent" did not make obvious reinforcements, which made people feel worried.
The undercover agent was stimulated after all, or it may have awakened to his own role as an undercover traitor and must play a role at a critical moment, so he launched an attack on the Western Army.
Unfortunately, the strength of the Otani Army is still limited and cannot defeat the undercover army, and Otani Yoshitsugu's life has entered the final stage.
Sun Tzu's Art of War has clouds, so he uses five things to learn, and asks for his feelings. One is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. In this case, Yoshitsugu Otani was trapped by his feelings, did not calculate the comparison of the strength and advantages of the enemy and us, and did not realize the lack of his own strength and strength and participated in the war, which was the main reason for his defeat; Secondly, if analyzed according to the master-slave analysis, the lord of the Toyotomi family was still young, and he was fooled by the powerful minister (Ishida Mitsunari) and rashly participated in the war, which is equivalent to being loyal to the unrighteous king, so there are also problems in the "Tao"; Third, the "will" should be to appoint meritocracy, but the scene turned out to be defeated by the traitor of the inner response, and Otani had no other means to use and implement, and it was really not advisable to set up a formation near the inner response.
