After the ninja retreated, the clan couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart What did this Matsunaga Xiu do, it is said that after Oda Nobunaga went to Luo, he should have surrendered, but now he not only did not surrender, but also helped Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to attack the Oda family, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?

For example, as everyone knows today, Matsunaga Xiu is in the same situation as the Miyoshi family because of the embezzlement of funds, if it weren't for the Oda family Kamiluo at this time, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu would have gone out to fight a long time ago, if he was someone else, at this time, he would definitely look at the hot lot, how could he lead the army to help?

And now the army under the command of Matsunaga Hide's is not comparable to the original, it can be seen from the intelligence that the current Ashigaru under his command is stronger than the elite combat power of the Oda family, if it really helps the Miyoshi family, then it can be said that the combat power of the two armies is equal, and the Oda army has no advantage. //**//

However, the clan thought about it, how could the always shrewd Matsunaga Xiu not see the situation in the world, so even if he agreed to go to the army, it was not sincere, as for what kind of purpose he had, the clan didn't bother to think about it, and only heard him ask: "How is the military situation of the Miyoshi family now?" ”

I only heard another ninja who was in charge of going out to inquire about intelligence, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the lord, at present, the army of the Miyoshi family is stationed in Kojima City, because the scale of this city is average, it cannot accommodate the entire strength of the Miyoshi army, so the 7,000 banners of the Miyoshi family are stationed in the city, and the remaining 10,000 peasant soldiers are resting outside the city, and please decide on the lord."

"Well, how is the defense of the Miyoshi Army?" I heard the clan ask again.

"Back to the lord, as the lord expected, the people of the Miyoshi family all think that the army of the family is still in Hanoi and Izumi and other countries, although its defense is stronger than usual, but it is not heavily guarded at all."

"Okay, I know what to do, you immediately go to Kojima City to continue to monitor every move of the Miyoshi family's army, and if there is a situation, report it immediately, retreat." After understanding the situation, I saw the clan wave his hand, and the ninja retreated.

And no one noticed that while the clan sect asked his subordinates about the current situation of the Miyoshi family, a black shadow cautiously passed through the open and dark sentry set up by the high mountain army a few hundred meters away from the high mountain army, and quickly galloped towards Luozhong City.

This ninja is none other than one of the two upper ninjas under Matsunaga Hide, he originally received the order from the lord, although he didn't have much hope, but he still began to search in the mountain city, he knew that this mountain city country is not big, and it is precisely because of this that there are not too many places where the Takayama army can hide, except for the vicinity of the Nagara River where the other shinobi went, there is only this Ikoma Mountain, so he and another shinobi after some discussion, then they went their separate ways.

Unexpectedly, as he thought, the Takayama Army was really in Mt. Ikoma, which made him feel very excited, if he reported the news to the lord, then it would definitely be a great achievement, and the reward should not be too small, and after the lord's reward came down, he could use the money to arm the ninjas under his command, so that although the ninjas under his command were inferior to the other ninja army in his family in terms of numbers, however, they would surpass the other party in terms of combat power.

In the future, find another opportunity to get rid of him, then he can unify the family ninja army, and at that time, the credit is all his own, and it is not out of reach to think of getting the lord's reuse.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace again, eager to see the lord now and report the news.

And it was for this reason that it would have taken him two hours to travel, and it only took him more than an hour to feel the middle of Luozhong City.

Matsunaga Xiu, who was already asleep, was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, only to see him quickly sit up and ask unhappily, "What's the matter?" ”…,

Because in Matsunaga's family, the status of ninjas is low, and he is afraid that these ninjas are plotting against him, so he has no right to meet directly, and if there is a report, it needs to be conveyed through the close attendants around Matsunaga Xiu.

However, when Matsunaga Xiu heard that the ninja army under his command had found traces of the Takayama Army in the mountain city country, in his opinion, this was a great event, so he decided to personally recruit the leader of the ninja army to obtain more detailed information.

Thinking of this, I only heard him immediately order: "Immediately order the retainers and Tanaka Sanzaemon to meet at the castle tower, and I will go later, and immediately assemble the army and prepare to attack the Takayama army."

After speaking, I saw Matsunaga Xiu quickly sit up, and after a simple freshening up, he walked quickly towards the assessment room.

Although it was late at night, the castle tower was brightly lit. When Matsunaga Shu appeared in the castle tower, the retainers of the Matsunaga family had already sat on both sides, and Tanaka Sanzaemon had already knelt in the middle of the assessment room, although the retainers still didn't know why the lord of the road would summon himself and others so late to discuss the matter, but after they saw the excited look on the lord's face, they had already guessed that I am afraid that this time the lord should have brought himself in a good announcement.

And it should be a great event, after all, a look like this has not appeared on the face of the lord many times.

After Matsunaga Shu sat down, he only heard him ask Tanaka Sanzaemon directly and straight to the point, "You said you found traces of the Takayama Army?" ”

Seeing the lord's question, Sanzaemon suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the lord, my subordinates found the Takayama Army in Ikoma Mountain, but because there are many ninjas in charge of guarding around the Takayama Army, my subordinates didn't get too close in order not to startle the snake, and I asked the lord to decide." ”

After listening to Matsunaga Xiu, he couldn't help but nodded, and it was very rare to look at him with appreciative eyes, it was this glance that made Sanzaemon feel excited, after all, this represents the lord's recognition of himself, if it goes on like this, maybe he may still be hired by the lord as a retainer and obtain the status of a samurai.

After listening to Matsunaga Hidehide, he couldn't help but think that since there are many ninjas in charge of vigilance, it can be explained that not only the Takayama army is here, but even the Takayama clan is here, in his opinion, there is no point in annihilating the Takayama army, as long as the Takayama clan does not die, then it won't be long before the Takayama army can recover its combat strength, and the threat to itself will not be eliminated, so only by taking the Takayama clan can the problem be solved once and for all, and now is a rare opportunity.

Moreover, the usual method of the Gaoshan clan is to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, and this time he will let him suffer the consequences, and he can die under his usual tactics, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
