In the castle tower of Nishio Castle, the Honshoji Temple sits on the main seat, and in addition to one monk, the other five or six are samurai, Watanabe Moritsuna, and Beehouse Sadaji are also among them.

The atmosphere in the assessment room was very dull, and since everyone learned that the temple was burned down by the Red Oni-Takayama clan, such a military meeting has been held almost every day, but because there is no unity of opinion, there has been no action.

When he learned that the Takayama clan was in Kamigo Castle, the Honshoji Sora Oath planned to attack Kamigo Castle with an army to win the Takayama clan in order to avenge the destruction of the temple, but this proposal was not approved by the rest of the samurai except for the consent of his disciple Honshoji Kukai and Watanabe Moritsuna.

They wanted to march eastward and join forces with the Kamiyaji army to launch an attack on Okazaki Castle in order to overthrow the Matsudaira family's rule over Mikawa Province, so that they could maximize their benefits. One side was the samurai group, and the other side was the monk group represented by the empty oath of the temple, so it was very difficult to reach an agreement.

And the reason why the empty oath of this temple can sit on the main seat now is only because there are 800 monks and soldiers in the city, more than half of the total, so everyone will temporarily obey him, otherwise I am afraid that his seat will not be secure. The temple also knew that without the support of the samurai, it would be impossible to break through the castle with the 800 monks in their hands. So he had no choice but to continue arguing like this.

Just when everyone discussed again to no avail, I saw a monk running in in a hurry, he came to the empty oath of this temple, saluted and said: "First, the Buddha's enemy Gaoshan clan has arrived outside the city, the first one, our chance to take revenge has come." ”

After listening to the empty oath of this temple, he stood up suddenly. This temple is his hard work, as the temple was burned, the money he had scavenged for many years was also in vain, even if the Takayama clan was skinned, cramped, and broken bones, it was difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

When he heard that the enemy had arrived in front of him, he picked up the childish knife that was put aside, and was about to rush out of the assessment room, but Watanabe Moritsuna's eyes were quick, he hugged him, and said eagerly: "Master, don't worry, this matter needs to be carefully discussed." ”

This temple swears that he doesn't know about the Takayama clan, but Watanabe Moritsuna is clear, the Takayama clan, in addition to the nickname of the red ghost, there is a more resounding Owari no fox title, this title in the Tokaido region, and Mino country and other places can be much louder than the red ghost, the Takayama clan sect since the birth of the sideways, more than ten battles, no defeat, and every battle is full of wisdom, people are unguardable, and the enemy must not be careless.

But the anger in the chest of the empty oath of this temple, how can others understand, it's okay for Watanabe Shougang not to speak, this is to be discussed, he suddenly rose on fire, these days, almost every day is discussing, not even a fart is discussed, if it goes on like this, then what else can be done, only listen to this temple empty oath angrily said: "Discussion!" Negotiate! I also discussed a fart, the enemy has been killed in front of you, if you don't want to help, this seat is your own. ”

After saying that, he pushed Watanabe Shoutsuna to the side, strode out of the door of the assessment room, and his disciple Honshoji Kukai, after snorting, also picked up his knife and ran away.

The samurai sitting were led by Watanabe Moritsuna and Bee House Sadaji, so they were all waiting for the two of them to order, Bee House Sadaji knew that martial arts were far from Watanabe Moritsuna, so he obeyed Watanabe Moritsuna, only to hear Bee House Sadaji ask: "Watanabe-sama, how should I deal with it now?" ”

Watanabe Shougang thought about it, in the city of Nishio, in addition to the eight hundred monks, there are 500 ashigaru, if he doesn't fight, with these 500 ashiba, it is enough to defend the city, but he can not rest assured that he can't take the empty oath of this temple, after thinking about it carefully, he said: "In this way, I will lead a hundred troops out of the city to assist the master of the empty oath in the battle, and you will lead four hundred ashigaru to defend in the city." ”

"The Takayama Clan is a cunning person, you must be careful, and don't fall for the enemy's tricks." Beehouse Sadaji couldn't rest assured, so he hurriedly asked.

"I naturally know this, although the Gaoshan Clan Sect is scheming, but the army is not large, our army is nearly a thousand people, even if he is exhausted, what can it be for me?" After speaking, Watanabe Moritsuna straightened his clothes and armor and walked out of the assessment room quickly.

The other samurai in the castle waited for Watanabe Moritsuna to leave, and then began to arrange defenses. ,

On the way to Xiwei City, the clan kept explaining to his subordinates that he was just trying to lure the enemy into the depths of the house, and he must not take it seriously, his mother-in-law's constant instructions, completely afraid that after a while and wait for the real run, the ashigaru people did not know the truth, and the fake play was really done, and then the clan would only cry.

After his repeated emphasis, even if these childish ashigaru are stupid, they understand the reason, except for a few people, they have basically followed the clan for many years, after several years of bloody battles, they know that as long as they carry out the lord's orders to the letter, they can save their lives. Therefore, even if the clan sect does not give instructions, as long as he gives an order, the flag ashigaru will not hesitate to turn around and fight the enemy.

The two-mile journey was almost there, and the clan leader led a hundred young swords to appear three or four hundred meters outside the city, and when he arrived here, he didn't dare to march forward, in case he couldn't run at that time, it would be a little bad.

The clan clan dragged a hundred troops to wander around the city non-stop, for fear that the enemy would not find out. Seeing that no one had come out of the city for a long time, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, who was following closely behind the clan, said: "My lord, I have been waiting for so long, and I haven't seen the enemy go out of the city. The subordinates suggested, let's call Maeda-sama and them to storm the city, and the lord won't listen to the nonsense that Honda Masanbu said. ”

The clan said unhappily: "How can you understand the plan of the military advisor, since the enemy does not come out, then our army will advance another hundred meters." ”

Don't look at the clan's face is calm, but his heart is anxious, if it is because of his cowardice that the strategy fails, the shame is second, if Honda Masanobu feels that he can't assist and leaves, it will be a big loss.

Seeing that the lord had urged the lord to step forward, Yamauchi Yifeng hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, straddled the horse in front of the clan and said: "The lord is a daughter, you must not be in danger, please think twice." ”

"Think twice, I said, when will you kid also learn Kagawa Tadaji's set of mother-in-law kung fu? Don't get out of the way yet. ”

Yamauchi Yifeng secretly said in his heart, the last time he attacked the Ape Peck City, the lord also let him learn more from Kagawa Tadaji, and he finally asked for advice for a long time, why did he change his hexagram now. Although he thought so in his heart, he still didn't hide from it. I only heard him say firmly: "It is a heavy responsibility to protect the lord, even if he is punished, his subordinates will never let the lord be in danger." ”

Just when the clan was about to attack, Ashigaru shouted behind him: "My lord, the enemy has been killed." ”

Seeing that the enemy had already left the city, the clan had no time to pay attention to Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and said loudly: "What are you panicking, wait for my order before retreating." ”
