Seeing this, Matsukura Shigenobu was in a hurry, just now the lord couldn't wait to let himself hurry up and see the Takayama clan again, but now it's good, the lord himself hesitated first.

However, the stakes were too high, and he didn't have much to say, so he had to sit there and wait for the lord's decision.

But the more he didn't want to do much, but the matter just found him, Tsutsui Shunqing hesitated for a long time and didn't make a decision, at this time he happened to see Matsukura Shigenobu who was sitting upright, he couldn't help but light up, Matsukura Shigenobu has followed him for many years, has always been loyal, and forced to be resourceful, this matter asked him right.

Thinking of this, I only heard Tsutsui Shunqing ask: "Right near, you have followed me for many years, and you know the situation of your family best, according to your opinion, should you become a vassal of the Oda family, I want to hear your advice." ”

Tsutsui Shunkei's words were like a slap in the face, and Matsukura Shigenobu was scared. But since the lord is looking for each other, even if he doesn't want to say it, he has to say it.

"The lord, the subordinates think that in terms of the current situation, it is better to choose to become a vassal of the Oda family, at least from that moment on, there is no need to worry about the Matsunaga family, the family can take advantage of this time to vigorously develop, as long as the family is strong, then even if it is a vassal of the Oda family, there is nothing unseemly, but this is just a shallow view of the subordinates, everything is still decided by the lord."

After hearing this, Tsutsui Shunkei suddenly became enlightened, yes, what else do you have to worry about, if you don't become a vassal of the Oda family, you won't even be able to get over the day after tomorrow, and what future do you talk about.

"Okay, agree to the conditions of the Takayama clan, you go to Luozhong City now, and this time you will invite the Oda family to come."

"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After making a bow, Matsukura Shigenobu walked out of the house quickly.

For such a big matter as the Oda family, he should also communicate with the retainers, so as soon as Matsukura Shigenobu left, Tsutsui Shunkei won the island. Naokuni Akiyama came in a hurry.

As for those low-level samurai, they knew that Lu Dao had no impact on the overall situation at all, so Tsutsui Shunkei did not summon them.

When the island is victorious, Naokuni Akiyama listened. There is a joy and a sadness in my heart, and the joy is that as a vassal of the Oda family, then I don't have to be afraid of the Matsunaga family in the future, even if Matsunaga Hidei really dares to attack, then the Oda family will definitely not sit idly by, and the place controlled by Oda. It's not too far from the place of the family, once you come and go, you can come in more than a day, so the name of the family is guaranteed, even if the strength of the family is not good, but if you want to block the time of the Matsunaga family for a day or two, they are still somewhat sure, so this is definitely a happy event.

Sadly, though. In the future, the family will obey the orders of the Oda family, and except for the land that he has laid down outside the orders of the Oda family, the rest will be owned by the Oda family. And there are a lot of other restrictions, but this is also something that can't be helped, and it is much better to promise the Gaoshan Clan than to perish.

Since the Matsunaga army is now outside the castle, Shimakatsu Takeshi and Akiyama Naokuni don't dare to stay here longer, and since the main attack has been agreed, they have nothing to say, so they just stayed here for a while and left the castle tower.

Matsukura Shigenobu came to Rakunaka Castle again. After saying the lord's intentions, he wanted to urge the Takayama clan to send out the army, but who knew that the answer of the Takayama clan was to tell him that the Oda army had been sent out when he left for the first time.

After listening to Matsukura Shigenobu, he couldn't estimate his identity, and asked unhappily, "Lord Takayama." Coming all the way to the next road, I didn't see the Oda Army, could it be that the adults were playing tricks? ”

Matsukura Shigenobu said as he stood up with a scenger, if the Takayama clan can't say why, then even if he fights for his life, he has to ask for an explanation. …,

The clan said unhurriedly: "Why is Lord Matsukura so excited, the clan said that if you go out of the army, you will go out of the army." ”

"Then may I ask Takayama-sama, where are the Oda family's reinforcements now!"

"Xingui Mountain City!" After speaking, the clan also stood up, pacing around the hall while saying to himself: "Matsukura-sama, the Matsunaga family has two thousand troops, and the Oda army is only one thousand.

And the attack on Shingui Mountain City is very different, the Matsunaga army poured out of the nest this time, and the defense of Shingui Mountain must be empty, and this city is the foundation of the Matsunaga family, as long as the army threatens this city, then how can the Matsunaga army not retreat? In this way, not only can the Matsunaga army be retreated, but also the strength of the family can be preserved to the greatest extent.

As a samurai, especially a resourceful person in the family, if you don't know how to be flexible, then how can you prosper the family, Matsukura-sama, I think you're not bad, running before and after for the affairs of the two families, that's why I'm telling you this, now you understand. ”

After listening to this, Matsukura Shigenobu said with a sense of shame: "Lord Takayama, I have been taught here. ”

After being reprimanded by the Takayama clan, who was several years younger than himself, Matsukura Shigenobu was not only not angry, but respectful.

And the words of the Takayama clan also completely woke him up, no wonder the battle between the family and the Matsunaga family is always defeated, although the gap in military strength is one of the reasons, but the family is too rigid to use soldiers is also the reason for the failure.

Not to mention the next clan and Matsukura Shigenobu to discuss the return to the Oda family and become vassals, only to say that Omiya Keiren, Muto Shunhide led a thousand troops to the outside of Shinkiyama Castle.

In the castle of Shinguiyama, the samurai left behind were Kusunoki Masatoshi and Oka Kunitaka.

On this day, the two of them, as usual, were idle in the samurai mansion, although it was easy to stay in the city, but Oka Guogao didn't like this kind of work, after all, as the first fierce general in the family, charging into battle was what he was most willing to do, but this time the lord didn't take himself out of the battle, which made him feel quite depressed.

Now Matsunaga Shu is paying more and more attention to Takayama Youjin, which makes him feel a deep crisis, so in small talk with Kusunoki Masato, you can often hear his voice of resentment.

"Report, two adults, more than 1,000 troops of the Oda Army have reached five miles outside the city, and they are now camping."

"What? The Oda Army is coming? Gather the troops in the city and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy! After hearing the news, Gang Guogao didn't care about complaining, stood up suddenly, and said, "Bastard, quickly send an order to gather troops and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy." ”

"Yes, ...... under your command"

Before the ashigaru could finish speaking, he heard Nanmu Zhenghu hurriedly interrupt: "Wait! My lord, there are thousands of enemies, and there are only 200 troops in the city, and it is not enough to defend the city, how can you go out at this time, and if the other troops are not afraid, adults should not forget, outside the city is the Oda army, the same elite Oda army, if there is a case, then this letter Guishan City is not guaranteed, this city is the root of the family, if lost, how to replace the main bus, so please think twice. ”

When Nanmu Zhenghu finished speaking, Oka Guogao also calmed down, Nanmu Zhenghu was right, the enemy's army was several times stronger than his own family, and maybe the Gaoshan clan was in command, the fox of the Gaoshan clan was not a person to be messed with, it seemed that he was indeed reckless.

Oka Guogao is brave and fierce, but he is not stupid, how could he try to give away his life for a while. So after he calmed down, he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if Lord Nanmu has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"It's really unrealistic to retreat from the enemy just by virtue of the defenders in the city, I think that at present, there is only one side of the city, and one side will send people to ask for help from the lord quickly, as long as the lord's army returns, even if the Oda army cannot be eliminated, but it must be forced to retreat to the mountain city, I don't know what the lord thinks?" …,

After hearing this, Oka Kunigaka couldn't help but nodded, with the current situation, he had no choice but to do so, although the army of his family was small, but with the strength of the Nobuki Mountain Castle, it was not easy for the Oda army to attack in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Oka Kuniga sent Ashigaru to the outside of Tsutsui Castle to report to the lord, and on the other hand, he ordered the defenders in the city to strengthen their vigilance, and Oda came from the front.

Nanmu Zhenghu and Oka Guo are so high that they are not afraid, they are afraid that the Gaoshan clan will use tricks to win the city gate, so they dare not take it lightly.

"Report, Lord Omiya, Lord Muto, the enemy's three banners have left the city on fast horses and headed all the way to the east, please decide."

After listening to this, Omiya Jingren couldn't help but nod his head and said: "I know the way, send more detectives to the direction of Tsutsui City, and if the Matsunaga army has returned to the inter-military direction, report it immediately." ”

"Yes, I'll do it."

As soon as the ashigaru left, Omiya Jingren saw that there was nothing to do, and he wanted to leave, but before he could stand up, he heard Muto Shunhide speak: "Lord Omiya, if it is late today, and the family is new, the enemy in the city must think that the army of the family is tired and the defense is lax, so why not take advantage of this great opportunity to sneak attack the city, this is much better than guarding here, and Shinguiyama Castle is the Matsunaga Home Castle, as long as this city is broken, then it will definitely be a great achievement, I don't know what Lord Omiya wants?" ”

Omiya Jinglian's eyes lit up after hearing this, this is indeed a good opportunity to earn great merit, but he thought about it again, he is different from Muto Shunxiu, he is a direct minister of the main hall, even if he acts privately this time, the lord is hindered by the face of the main hall, and he can't scoop him up, but he is different, he is a minister of the Gaoshan family, and there is a law in the family but those who do not obey the order will be killed, although the more merits, the better, but if the lord is displeased because of this matter, it will be a little inappropriate.

The lord let himself and Muto Shunhide come, just to besiege the city and make the Matsunaga army retreat, if it is violated, it will be difficult to substitute for the lord.

Thinking of this, I saw Omiya Jingren shook his head and said: "Lord Muto, when you and I set off, my lord has made it clear that he will not let you and me fight hard with the defending army, so I think it is better to follow the orders issued by my lord to act." Let's leave this matter at that. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
