As a veteran of many years of war, Sakuma Nobumori thinks everything from a strategic point of view, so in his opinion, it is more advantageous to accept it than to reject it.

The two retainers present did not have the same thoughts, so the retainers did not dare to speak more.

Although Nobunaga was angry in his heart and felt that Matsunaga Shu was a little bad, but when he thought that Matsunaga Shu was indeed a rare talent, his anger had already disappeared halfway, and when he listened to Sakuma Nobumori's words, he finally made up his mind.

I only heard him speak: "Well, I accept the return of the Matsunaga family, Niwa Nagahide." ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." "The Matsunaga family will be responsible for the return of the Matsunaga family, but the conditions of the Matsunaga family ......"

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

In the middle of Yamashiro Kuniraku, the clan clan was sitting in the hall of the samurai's mansion, and there was a person sitting opposite him, this person was the beehouse Yoryu who had just arrived here with a thousand Oda elites.

From the conversation just now, the clan learned that Oda Nobunaga had decided to take action against the Ashikaga family, and that he was now holding the Imperial Palace of the Palace, which had been drafted by Murai Sadakatsu, and was looking at it carefully.

There are five of them, namely:

1. Military personnel must first obtain permission from the Oda family, except for miscellaneous servants.

2. If a retainer of a shogun's retainer wants to enter the imperial palace to report to the lord's house, he must first obtain permission from the Daishi clan of the Kyoto office, and he is forbidden to approach the imperial palace without special reasons.

3. All litigation matters shall first be reported to the shogunate and the imperial court through the Kyoto office.

4. It is forbidden to file a lawsuit directly against the general.

5. The shogun may inquire about the official affairs of the shogunate, but only in the presence of the Daiji clan of the Kyoto office.

6. Physicians, Onmyoji, and monks of Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Mt. Hiei Enryaku are not allowed to enter the Shogun's Mansion without the permission of the Kyoto Shoji Daiji clan.

Although the above content is a few pieces worse than the historical content, the most important and the ones that are most likely to anger the Ashikaga family are not only not less, but also increase the restrictions.

I really didn't expect that such content would be thought up by Sadakatsu Murai, his honest image. In the heart of the clan, it was suddenly subverted.

The clan believes that not to mention that these six articles are implemented together, even if only one is followed, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will definitely not be able to stand it. What are you waiting for if you don't do it to your own family?

After reading the above contents, I saw that the clan sect gently closed the codex in his hand and said, "Lord Beehouse, have you read the contents on this?" ”

As a deputy general, it is necessary for the clan to let him know the content of the Dao, so that he can better cooperate with himself. And it's not just him, even Muto Shunhide and Omiya Keiren, as well as Katsusuke Tanaka should also know the content of the road.

I saw that the bee house Lai Long shook his head and said, "Back to Lord Gaoshan, before his command came, the lord did not let his subordinates watch it, so his subordinates did not read the above content. ”

In the face of the demon of the Gaoshan Clan, Bee House Lai Long spoke very politely. And he was also very blessed in his heart, and after the battle between the barrels and narrows, he was the same general as Ashigaru. And it is only more than seven years from now, and he can be promoted from Ashigaru General to the current general, which is enough for him to be proud, to such a promotion speed, it is really not slow, and with the current speed of development of the Oda family, as long as he does not die, then in more than ten or twenty years, his promotion to the elder of the family is probably a sure thing.

However, whenever he thought of the Takayama Clan, such pride could no longer be raised. It only took seven years for Lord Takayama to become the elder of his family, and depending on the arrangement of the lord for this battle, maybe after the end of this battle, he will become the elder of the pen family and the first retainer of the family in one fell swoop.

And that's not all, Lord Takayama was also given a country as a territory by the lord. Although Hida is poor, it is a little poorer, but no matter how you say it, it is also a country. …,

In the first few years, like most of the young retainers of the Oda family, he regarded the Takayama clan as his target to catch up, but now he knew that the height of the Takayama clan was probably never reached, so he no longer wanted to surpass, but to befriend him, he didn't ask Takayama to help him much, just begged him not to target himself and was already satisfied.

And Lord Takayama has been fighting outside before, and he has too few opportunities to meet him, let alone friendship, even if he hasn't said a few words in total, this time he has become his deputy general like a dream, so he must seize this opportunity and behave well in front of him.

Seeing that he hadn't seen it, the Gaoshan clan sect handed over the codex, and loudly instructed the ashigaru outside the door: "Quickly spread the big palace Jinglian and the other three to come to discuss the matter. ”

After a long time, the four of them had already read the contents of the codex, but unlike the composure of the clan, the faces of the four of them were full of shock, although Omiya Keiren and the other three had been following the clan, knowing that this day would come sooner or later, and a battle with the Ashikaga family was inevitable, but they didn't expect that this battle would come so quickly.

From the beginning of the year to now, it has only been nine months, but in just a few months, the secret moon period between the Oda family and the Ashikaga family has come to an end, and this hall is really in a hurry.

However, if they knew the way, Oda Nobunaga would not have been able to wait even a month if he hadn't been afraid of the siege around him for nine months to recuperate.

After seeing that the four people sitting had recovered from the shock, they only heard the clan speak: "Since the lord has made up his mind to take action against the Ashikaga family, then, I have decided to go to Nijo Castle tomorrow and present this codex to the shogun." ”

"The lord can't, if the general sees the above content, he will inevitably be angry with the lord, Nijo Castle is also his residence in any way, there are nearly a thousand troops in the city, the lord must not be in danger, so his subordinates are willing to act on behalf of the lord and his party, and ask the lord for approval."

Hearing that the lord wanted to go to Nijo Castle to take an adventure, he heard that Katsusuke Tanaka hurriedly dissuaded him.

The other samurai present were just about to open their mouths to persuade, only to see the clan wave their hands and say: "You don't have to worry, since the family has decided to do something to the Ashikaga family, then how can I still be a general, not only will I go tomorrow, but I will also lead a large army to go, the codex is clear, to restrict Ashikaga Yoshiaki's freedom, but how to restrict it, of course, the Oda family is stationed in Nijo Castle, only in this way can the desired effect be achieved, and I went to make better arrangements, so I must go." ”

Everyone just thought that the Takayama clan was going to go alone, so they would open their mouths to dissuade them, but when they heard it, they realized that their caution just now was obviously superfluous, what kind of person is Takayama Lord, that is a resourceful man with the reputation of Owari no Fox, how to do risky things, sure enough, when they heard that the lord is leading the army to go, they are no longer entangled in this matter, although the city is a Ashikaga home castle, but in front of the Oda family army, it is nothing.

If the Ashikaga family dares to stop it, it will be convenient to break through the city gate, how can those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Ashikaga family be the elite opponents of the family?

Seeing that the people no longer had any dissenting intentions, and the clan sect no longer kept them, he immediately asked them to go down and prepare.

After everyone left, the clan still sat motionless in the hall. I only heard him say lightly: "Ishikawa Goemon!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" As soon as the words fell, I saw that a human form immediately appeared on the wall, and he walked quickly to the front of the Gaoshan Clan.

"What have you been doing lately in the Ashikaga family?" I only heard the clan ask as soon as he spoke.

"Back to the lord, since the Ashikaga family fought with the Miyoshi family a month ago, although Ashikaga Yoshiaki has not been in contact with other forces, but it has been in constant contact with temples such as Mt. Hiei Enryakuji Temple, according to the information sent by the ninja, at present, there are ten temples such as Yamashiro Kuni Enryakuji Temple, and seven or eight temples of the southern general have reached an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, if the family attacks the Ashikaga family, at least these more than ten temples will come to their aid, even if they don't go out, but the total army can reach 5,000 people, If it is a desperate battle, the army should be able to reach 7,000. ”…,

"What! How can there be so many temples supporting the Ashikaga family? "Even the Gaoshan Clan, which has always been unfazed, was a little panicked after hearing the news, and the monks and soldiers could reach seven thousand?

If you add the military strength of the Ashikaga family, then there are tens of thousands of people, even if those temples cannot all be dispatched, but the enemy combined, there are almost eight thousand, not only the military strength is several times their own, the quality of the monks and soldiers is not worse than the Oda family, there are only less than two thousand people on their side, the clan did not expect the situation to be so serious, the Oda family destroyed the Ashikaga family in history It was too easy, in addition to Enryakuji Temple, only a few temples participated, and the army was only two or three thousand, but now it has more than doubled, If you don't ask, I'm afraid you'll definitely suffer a big loss.

Listening to the lord asked, Ishikawa Goemon said in his heart, there are so many temples to support the Ashikaga family, it is not the credit of the lord, originally most temples were going to take a neutral attitude, and they didn't want to help, but when the messenger sent by Ashikaga Yoshiaki mentioned the enemy of the Buddha Takayama clan, those temple hosts immediately changed their minds, although many temples do not belong to the same lineage, but the enemy of the Takayama clan is facing all temples, and the two biggest wishes of these temple hosts are to keep the temple gate, and the other is to kill the Takayama clan.

Of course, keeping the temple gate is still the most important thing, if Ashikaga Yoshiaki only contacts these monks, I'm afraid they won't agree immediately, after all, they are still too weak against the Oda family, but when they know that the road is not fighting alone, like Takeda, Uesugi, Maori, etc., such a big force will also do it against the Oda family, then there is nothing to be afraid of, and the Takayama clan is currently in the mountain city, and there are not many troops under his command, how can they give up such a good opportunity easily, so the two sides hit it off. And in this way, the Gaoshan Clan Sect had to worry about what he had done before. (To be continued.)
