While imprisoning the Ashikaga family, Shibata Katsuya has also received an order from Oda Nobunaga to fully cooperate with the Takayama clan's actions.

After receiving such an order, Shibata Katsuya was very dissatisfied in his heart, it stands to reason that this time to the Ashikaga family, he should be based on himself, and the Takayama clan cooperates, Yu Qing, he is the father-in-law of the Takayama clan, and thinks that the Oda family has served for more than 20 years, Yu Li said that although he and the Takayama clan are the same elders, but he knows more than him, and he is the second retainer in the family, so let him just cooperate, obey the dispatch of the Takayama clan, which makes it difficult for him to accept.

After being depressed for a few days, Shibata Katsuya finally figured it out, the Takayama clan is not an outsider, the more he gets the trust of the lord, the more light his face is, such a trivial matter, what do he have to worry about.

However, how to cooperate with the actions of the Gaoshan Clan, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he couldn't just lead the army to kill him. This Qianbei is too, and he doesn't know how to send someone to discuss such a big matter with him, hmph, does he still have himself in his eyes.

However, he was angry, but he didn't dare to delay the big thing, since the Takayama clan sent someone to come, the Shibata Katsu family had to send someone to go.

"Someone, send someone to Luozhong City quickly, and call me the Gaoshan Clan......"

Before Shibata Katsuya could finish speaking, he saw a ashiki running in briskly and reporting: "Report to the lord, there is a ninja outside the door who claims to be under the command of the Takayama clan, and he has something important to see." ”

"Call him in."

When Shibata Katsuie learned from this ninja that the clan had asked him to lead an army to attack several temples in Minami Omi, he couldn't help frowning and feeling embarrassed.

Although he doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, this doesn't mean that the samurai families in Minami Omi don't believe in it. Although it is true that Minami Omi was the domain of the Oda family, it was before the Rokkaku family fell. More than half of the wealthy clans or samurai have returned to the Oda family, and Oda Nobunaga wants to be stable. With a stroke of the pen, all those who returned to Shun retained their territory, and although he arranged the Shibata Katsuya in Minami-Omi to have an overview of the overall situation, it was still a short time, so it was not easy to reintegrate.

And now the problem arises here, if it is a trivial matter, those samurai who have just returned to the Oda family will still obey the order, but if they are allowed to make enemies of the temple, then they must get yin and yang. There are not many people in this world who can be as bold as the clan.

Sure enough. When Shibata Katsuya gathered everyone to discuss the matter, most of the samurai refused to go out on the grounds that the soldiers and peasants were separated and the army was reorganized, and the rest were forced to agree to go to the army. However, it can be seen from their reluctant expressions that even if they go out to the army, it will not play a big role.

In the end, when the army was assembled, Shibata Katsuya only got 4,000 troops, half of which were still the direct troops of Shibata Yujia. Minami Omi supported the Ashikaga family at six temples, and Shibata Katsuie had hoped to divide the six forces and work together so that they could not help each other, but now it is clear that such an idea cannot be implemented.

It is said that the 4,000 troops of the Shibata army were more powerful than the forces of the Minami Omi Temple. However, if the army is divided, Shibata Katsuya is not sure, after all, the two thousand troops under his command are elite, but the other two thousand are far behind, so they can only be broken with superior forces.

In the luxurious samurai mansion in Nakaseong, the clan and Akechi Mitsuhide sat facing each other. Akechi Mitsuhide after learning that Shibata Katsuie was out of the army. Came here as soon as possible, he thought that since Shibata Katsuya had already made a move, then the heat should be about the same, so he had already arrived without waiting for the clan to summon him, and this time he did want to go with the clan, and the clan was also planning to send someone to invite him to come to discuss.

"I wonder if Takayama-sama knows about Shibata-sama's attack on the temples of Minami-Omi?" …,

"I'm going to send someone to ask for Wise Lord for this matter." When the clan said this, it was obvious that he had already known about it.

"Now that the adults already know that Shibata-sama has already done it, shouldn't we also create some opportunities for the Ashikaga family?"

"Akichi-sama's vision is really unique, and after the lord returned, he immediately withdrew from Nijo Castle with the Oda army led by Beehouse Yoryu."

After hearing this, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help frowning, and said: "Lord Takayama, isn't it too obvious to do this, even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki can't see it, but Hosokawa Fujitaka may not be able to think of the reason, so isn't it too much of a hurry to do this?" ”

Akechi Mitsuhide has been with Hosokawa Fujitaka for more than a year, and it can be said that he is sure that he will play with anyone in the Ashikaga family, including Ashikaga Yoshiaki, before he plays with Yu Gu, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with a heavy task by Ashikaga Eaaki as soon as he came up, and his trust is incomparable.

However, there is a person in the Ashikaga family who makes him cautious all the time, this person is Hosokawa Fujitaka, if the martial arts are not worse than himself, it is not a star and a half, but when it comes to resourcefulness, Akechi Mitsuhide has to admit that he is a step worse than the other party, and since he can think of this matter, how can Hosokawa Fujitaka not guess, if it is self-defeating, then I am afraid that his own credit will also be lost, he thought that Takayama did not know much about Hosokawa Fujitaka, so he opened his mouth to explain the benefits.

However, he didn't know that the Takayama clan knew Hosokawa Fujitaka better than him, and since he dared to let the entire Oda army withdraw from Nijo Castle, he was absolutely sure.

I only heard the clan said: "Wise Lord don't worry, this matter has been thought of a long time ago, if you want to keep the Ashikaga family suspicious, it is not difficult, at present, Lord Shibata is leading the army to attack those bald donkeys who are not able to measure their strength in Minami Omi, as long as the Lord leads the army out of Nijo Castle, first to the west, put on a posture to help Lord Shibata, in this way, even if Hosokawa Fujitaka has doubts, he will never dare to joke about the survival of the Ashikaga family." ”

After listening to this, Wise Mitsuhide's face was full of admiration, he always thought that after more than ten years of experience, the strategy was definitely not worse than Lord Takayama, but it was just that he was not as lucky as the other party, if the same opportunity was placed in front of him, then although he was not sure that he did better, but it was by no means inferior to him.

But today, now he knows that Lord Gao Shan is much stronger than himself, and he spoke very politely with the Gao Shan clan before, which is completely because of the status of the two, so he can't be polite, but now, it is no longer as simple as being polite, but a kind of reverence from the heart.

Of course, these changes in Wise Guangxiu's heart, the clan sect doesn't know about it, otherwise the next thing is to consider whether to push it into the abyss step by step.

Akechi Mitsuhide's thoughts were just a flash, and the business still had to continue, only to hear Akechi Mitsuhide ask again: "Takayama-sama, although it is possible to hide Hosokawa Fujitaka by acting like this, but if you lead the army all the way to the west, do you really want to help Shibata-sama?" After all, even if the Ashikaga family has declined, but there are still some eyeliner, in the territory of the Ashikaga family, it is not easy to not reveal your whereabouts, if you can't return to the army in time, then the adults and the army in the city can be dangerous, and the adults are the main generals, and the adults are never allowed to risk their lives. ”

"Wise adults are overthinking......"

Before the clan sect finished speaking, I saw a banner running in briskly, and said in parallel: "Report to the lord, my subordinates have a major matter to report to the lord." At this point, he didn't continue, but looked at Akechi Mitsuhide.

When he attacked Nijo Castle that day, he was guarding the gate, so he saw it clearly when he saw the lord from the city rushing to the city, and he knew that the other party must be from the Ashikaga family, and now he reported to the lord an important military situation, how could he let outsiders know about it. …,

Seeing this, the clan knew that he was worried, so he said, "There is no need to be taboo in front of the wise lord, let's talk about something." ”

Since the lord said so, what else could the ashigaru say, but he hurriedly said: "My lord, Lord Shibata gathered four thousand troops to attack Kofukuji Temple, but when the battle with the monks in the temple, hundreds of monks and soldiers of Longsheng Temple suddenly came to help, and the two thousand troops led by the Southern Omi Hao clan, most of them only resisted a little, and began to retreat, although the battle ended with the victory of the Oda army, however, the army under the command of Lord Shibata was less than three thousand, At present, the temple forces of the Shogun Toshun family have been gathered together, and the army is no less than 3,000, and it is currently facing off with the army under the command of Shibata-sama, but the Oda army is demoralized due to the retreat of half of the army, and it is currently at an absolute disadvantage, so please ask the lord to decide. ”

"Bastard! Those who eat things inside and out. After hearing this, the Gaoshan clan clan couldn't care about being rude in front of Wise Mitsuhide, and scolded loudly.

Although he didn't count that those wealthy clans dared to disobey the yin and yang, although when he learned that Shibata-sama only mobilized four thousand troops, he felt that something was wrong, but although Minami Omi himself became the land of the Oda family, but after all, it was not long new, so he didn't think much about it, but now after listening to this return, he has already thought very thoroughly, not that there is no army to come out, but he doesn't want to come out, even if the two thousand troops in this formation are not to kill the enemy, but to have no choice, to such an army, it is strange to be undefeated.

This is the first time that I have been a one-sided general, and this group of wealthy people is so faceless, okay, when Lao Tzu has time, I have to clean up after you, dare to play this game with Lao Tzu, you will definitely regret it.

Originally, the Takayama clan originally planned to let Akechi Mitsuhide lead the army to lurk, and when Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to attack, let him take Nijo Castle, or go to capture Enryakuji Temple, so that the Ashikaga army would let the return of the battle be in chaos, and at that time, he would have the absolute initiative, and he could attack and retreat, but now that he is good, he thinks that the Shibata Katsuya, who is the most sure of winning, is about to be unable to support all the way, if it really fails, once those bald donkeys enter the territory of the Ashikaga family, the consequences are unimaginable, and the clan is quite a headache for this clan.
