In this way, he can use this as an excuse to reduce the seal, as for Echichu and Noto Nobunaga, of course, it is impossible to give it to Uesugi like this, at this moment he and Nobutada's army is close to 80,000, Nobunaga confidently believes that with such a number, it is enough to crush the Uesugi army.

In fact, Nobunaga's betrayal of Asai is true, but there are other more important reasons for targeting the Asai family, that is, he regrets it, regretting that he gave the Asai family so many stone heights at once, which is more than 1.1 million stone territory, and it is also close to the river, with such a force by his side, how can Nobunaga rest assured, so he came up with the idea of wanting to reduce the territory of the Asai family, at least to get Echizen.

With this idea in mind, Nobunaga immediately ordered the assembled troops to stand by and immediately went to Echizen Asai to deliver the order.

However, before the attendants could leave Azuchi Castle, Nobunaga once again received information that Asai Nagamasa had led an army of 25,000 to Echichu a few days earlier to defend the territory of the Shibata family, and due to the concentration of his army, he recaptured several castles in Echichu in a row, and this is not counting, he did not garrison these castles, but after handing over the captured castles to the Shibata army to garrison, he continued to march towards Toyama Castle, seemingly to fight to the death with Uesugi Kenshin.

When he learned about this, Nobunaga wondered, when did the relationship between the Asai family and the Shibata family become so close? If the Shibata family cooperates with Asai, it will be forgivable, after all, the Asai family is here to help anyway. But the Asai family spared no effort to help Shibata, which is a little confusing.

Could it be...... Soon Nobunaga had the answer in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, it must have been a good thing done by that bastard of the Takayama clan, if it wasn't for him, how could Asai go to the army. Even if Asai goes out of the army, how can the Shibata family be so cooperative, this bastard simply disrupts his plan.

"Someone! Immediately let that bastard of the clan get me out of the way. Thinking of this, Nobunaga suddenly spoke. The reason why he asked the clan to come was that it was necessary to tell him his attitude towards the Asai family. Let him not be nosy. This is why the Takayama clan has such a face, if someone else dares to touch Nobunaga's brows, then Nobunaga promises to clean up this person together.

However, it didn't take long for Nobunaga's mood to improve again, because he had received a report from his subordinates and confirmed that Uesugi Kenshin had fallen a few days earlier, and after his death, the Uesugi army had to choose to retreat. After hearing the news. Nobunaga didn't laugh three times, and now that there was no one who could pose a threat to his family, he could do what he wanted.

Then the good news came one after another, first Shibata Katsuya picked up a life, and now he has returned to Vietaka to control the situation, and Sanada Masayuki, the military advisor of the Takayama family, returned to Kofu after separating from Shibata Katsuie.

If this news wasn't good enough, the next news was enough for Nobunaga to be satisfied.

First Tokugawa Ieyasu, the most loyal ally of the Oda family, and then after his arrival in Tanba. did not stop, but directly led the army to attack the mountain family. The Yamana family was not strong in the first place, and he didn't expect the Tokugawa family to attack suddenly, and he still led tens of thousands of troops, so he lost Tajima in the first battle, but when the head of the Yamana family, Yamana Toyokuni, was about to retreat to Inaba, he found out. Because the important town of Tottori Castle was captured by the Tokugawa family ninja army without preparation, Yamana Toyokuni saw that the retreat route had been cut off, so the decision was finally made to return to the Tokugawa family, and although Tokugawa Ieyasu accepted Yamana Toyokuni's surrender, he eventually confiscated the two countries. Only 3,000 koku were left for the other party as a place to multiply, so now the land controlled by Tokugawa Ieyasu has reached the height of nearly 700,000 koku in Inaba, Tajima, Tango, and Tanba Shikoku. In order to avoid being suspicious of Nobunaga like the Asai family, after capturing Inaba, he decisively moved the castle to Tottori, and only left a small number of troops in Tanba to maintain law and order.

If this news is just the achievements of allies and still arouses Nobunaga's interest, then the next news, no matter how critical Nobunaga is, must be excited.

That is, Kinoshita Hideyoshi after more than a year of hard work, not only has Harima a country under control, and launched an attack on Bizen Misaku, Bizen and Misaku were originally in the hands of the Urakami family, but in the face of Hideyoshi's attack, Urakami Munekyo finally chose to start a war with the Oda family, rather than taking refuge, which was opposed by the retainers, and after the opposition was invalid, its important minister Ukita Naoya launched a rebellion, and finally succeeded with the support of Hideyoshi, but because Kinoshita Hideyoshi's army had taken advantage of the situation to enter Bizen and Misaku, raw rice was cooked and ripened, Although the Ukita Naoya succeeded, they eventually lost the qualification to negotiate with Hideyoshi, and in the end they could only ask Kinoshita Hideyoshi to express their allegiance. Now that Kinoshita Hideyoshi has taken control of Harima, Bizen, Mimasaka Mikuni Ishitaka has also exceeded one million, and after reorganizing the two countries, he is preparing to launch an attack on the Mori family's Bizen this year.

After learning these exciting news, Nobunaga was overjoyed, and even his dissatisfaction with Asai has been diluted a lot, after all, the territory he now controls has exceeded 10 million stones, and it is worth giving Asai Nagamasa hundreds of thousands of stones, so as long as Asai Nagamasa stays in these two countries honestly, Nobunaga doesn't want to embarrass him, and the extra hundreds of thousands of stones sent out are the dowry for his sister at that time.

Although Nobunaga has been disgusted with Asai since he made two wrong choices, Nobunaga still loves his sister very much, so it is not surprising that he has such thoughts.

Since there is such an idea, then there is no point in recruiting the Takayama clan, so Nobunaga plans to send someone to chase it back, but then he thought about it, and gave up this idea, since the establishment of the family legion, the strength of the Takayama family has been greatly improved, but this is not important, the important thing is that it has attracted Shibata, Sakuma, and even the forces that are not weak such as the Nagamune Ibu who have only recently joined the family in Shikoku, once it destroys Hojo, then it has the strength to challenge the family, although Nobunaga's character has been completed, I don't think the clan will rebel at all, but I have to guard against it, you must know that several army commanders and all the retainers in the family who have more than 100,000 stone have hostages left in Azuchi, but the clan does not, especially recently the Asai family also has a tendency to get closer to it, if there is no such thing, Nobunaga will not think about this, but after this incident, Nobunaga wants to see the current attitude of the clan, if he happily hands over the hostages, then he can continue to trust, otherwise he must be suppressed, So Nobunaga finally met the clan clan.

And not long after Nobunaga received the news, the clan clan that was on his way to Azuchi Castle had already received this information, even more detailed than Nobunaga had obtained.

But this information is definitely good news for Nobunaga, but it is not so good for the clan, especially after he learned that the monkey and the Tokugawa formed an alliance to fight against the Maori, it touched his nerves, once the two people formed an alliance, then the solution of the Maori will be much faster than history, after all, the monkeys themselves can solve the Maori in history, and now with the help of the Tokugawa who has Shikoku and nearly 700,000 stone territories, there is absolutely no doubt about the speed. Therefore, the clan suddenly felt that time was pressing.

Of course, in addition to these bad news, the good news is that there is such a thing, that is, the father-in-law and Sanada Masayuki are not a big deal, and they have returned separately at this moment, and because this time the army of the family was only defeated by Uesugi and not completely annihilated, so after the defeated soldiers came back one after another, there were as many as 12,000 people left after counting, which was definitely a surprise for the clan. He thought that after this war, it would be good if half of the 16,000 spears of the family could come back, but now that they have come back so much, then at least there is no need to worry about guarding against Hojo, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands have basically been brought back, so that the family has saved a lot of money.

As for Uesugi Kenshin's death, the clan didn't feel too much, after all, he knew the historical trend, although the history has deviated now, but after all, there were preparations, as for Uesugi Kenshin's history two years earlier than the history, the clan didn't care about these details at all.

But when he thought that after the death of Uesugi Kenshin, the two adopted sons were fighting for the family business, he immediately sent someone to send an order to Mizuse Uemon to continue to pay close attention to the orders of the Uesugi family. After all, this time the Takeda family has perished, and it has been advanced by two years, and the Hojo family reinforcements invited by Uesugi Keitora should not encounter heavy winds and snow blocking the road, so the victory or defeat is unknown, and maybe he will have a chance to seize Echigo because of the change of history.

Azuchi Castle, a giant castle proposed by the clan, has been continuously improved over several years, and in terms of scale, this castle has surpassed Odawara and Ishiyama Castle. If it's just a grand scale, it's nothing, after all, as long as you have money, you can build it, but the prosperity of the castle town has become a gathering place for merchants who can compete with the Kai Town, as long as you can buy it in the Kai Town, then you can definitely buy it in Azuchi, what you can't buy in the Kai Town, you can't buy it in Azuchi, then you can't buy it in the Kai Town, so Azuchi Castle is definitely a well-deserved political, military, and economic center in Japan in this era.

Since it was Nobunaga summoned this time, the clan didn't dare to hang out under his nose, and besides, this time Nobunaga should be looking for himself for the Asai family, which is not a good thing, and there is no need for him to touch Nobunaga's brow at this time. Therefore, when the clan clan passed through Azuchi Town, he looked left and right, and did not stop, and went straight to Azuchi Castle. (To be continued.) )
