Chapter 194: Two Alliances

After the clan followed Asai Nagamasa and his important ministers into the assessment room of the castle tower, as soon as everyone sat down, they saw Anyangji Shikei take out a codex from his bosom and respectfully accept it and present it to Asai Nagamasa. [Read and see if the novel network updates our speed first] and said: "Lord, regarding the alliance between the two families, the subordinates have discussed it with Lord Gao Shan, but in the matter of the marriage between the two families, the subordinates dare not make the decision, and please make your own decision, this is a covenant, and please ask the lord to read it." ”

Asai Nagamasa was surprised to be surprised that the papaya pattern of the Oda family was embroidered on the things presented by the Anyangji Temple, which proved that the Anyangji Temple had directly agreed to the terms of the other party's covenant, otherwise, whether it was to agree to the covenant he had drafted before, or to rewrite it after discussing it with the Takayama clan, he should use the red silk codex embroidered with the Mimori tortoiseshell flower ling. Could it be that the conditions proposed by the Oda family are more reasonable to the family than those proposed by themselves? Asai Nagamasa began to look forward to it.

I saw a close attendant walk quickly to the Anyang Temple Shijing, the result of the codex, respectfully handed over to the lord, Asai Nagamasa quickly opened it, and now he finally knew that the Anyang Temple Shijing would directly bring the Takayama clan to Sawa Mountain Castle, and also knew that the Lu Dao would directly use the covenant drawn up by the Oda family. The above clause is more beneficial to the family than the one I asked for and wrote.

And for the Oda family, it is a lot of interests sacrificed, even if he doesn't want to admit it, but he has to admire Nobunaga's courage, this is not something ordinary people can do, and now Asai Nagamasa is more determined to form an alliance with the Oda family, only an alliance with the strong can be more in line with their own interests, and those wine bags and rice bags to form an alliance, in this troubled world, it is tantamount to self-destruction.

The retainers of the Asai family did not speak when they saw that the lord was holding the covenant for a long time, whether they agreed to the alliance between the two families or those who disagreed, they all began to get anxious, but this matter was related to the future of the family, so they did not dare to interrupt the lord's train of thought.

Compared to them, the clan clan sat calmly in the middle of the assessment room, and he knew that if such favorable conditions were not signed directly by Asai Nagamasa, it would only prove that his title of Omi Eagle was somewhat unworthy of the name, and an ally like this, the Oda family should not want it.

After a short time, I saw Asai Nagamasa gently close the covenant, raised his head, and said with a firm gaze: "I have decided to marry the princess of the Oda family as the main lady, and this matter will be entrusted to the real scene of Anyang Temple." (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)" After speaking, you said to the attendant behind him: "Go to pen and ink." ”

After Nobunaga finished writing the covenant, he had already signed the daimyo and pressed the pressed flowers, and he thought the same as the clan, if such a covenant was not signed by Asai Nagamasa, he could wait for the capture of Inabayama Castle, and the next target of the attack would be Kita-Omi.

Soon the covenant was signed, and after Asai Nagamasa and Takayama Clan received a copy each, the topic returned to the current war, and since the two families had now formed an alliance, Asai Nagamasa did not want the clan to avoid it.

I saw that the clan and the Anyang Temple Shijing had reached the vacant seats in the assessment room, and before he could sit on his buttocks, he heard shouts outside the city to kill him. And a banner of the Asai family ran in briskly and reported loudly: "Report, lord, more than 6,000 ashigaru led by Rokkaku Yoshiji is launching a fierce attack on Sawa Mountain Castle, please make a decision." ”

"Zhilu said, step down." Asai Nagamasa just said lightly.

As soon as the flag was gone, Asai Nagamasa immediately ordered several retainers present to go and command the battle of Ridge Castle, while the other retainers were anxious, but they were helpless, the lord had not yet announced the dissolution of the meeting, and they were worth continuing to sit here.

As for whether Asai Nagamasa still has something to say, it is entirely because he thinks that the Takayama clan in front of him is known as the fox of Owari by the world, and its wisdom has been proven in previous battles, this title is not in vain, thinking that he has won more with less every time he fights with the enemy, and there are no major losses, and the current situation of the family is similar to his repeated battles, and now that the family and the Oda family have formed an alliance, why not ask him for a plan to retreat from the enemy army outside the city?

Thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa no longer hesitated, and immediately asked: "Lord Takayama, now that the Rokkaku family is leading the army to attack, I wonder if your lord has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" I hope to give you advice. ”

Since the clan left the Kotani Castle Meeting, he went straight to Sawa Mountain Castle, and he didn't know much about the battle situation outside the city, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but since Asai Nagamasa opened his mouth to ask, it was impossible for him to ignore it, otherwise not only would he lose face, but the Oda family would also be swept away. ,

Moreover, there is still a trace of unknown thoughts in the heart of the clan, that is, to let Asai Nagamasa deeply remember today's events, if he wants to betray the Oda family one day, he must also think carefully about whether he can stop the Oda army and Lao Tzu's plan. And not only Asai Nagamasa, but also those retainers under his command who did not agree to an alliance with the Oda family. In the future, when they persuade the lord to betray the alliance, they will also weigh whether the Asai family has the strength to betray the Oda family.

Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help frowning, if you want to repel the army of the Rokkaku family outside the city, you must understand the enemy's deployment, but in the eyes of the clan, the Rokkaku Yoshiji is just a clown, and the retainers under his command are not particularly strong, otherwise Nobunaga in history would not have completely pacified Minami Omi in just a few months, although the strength of the Oda family is more than twice as strong, but it will not be completely destroyed so soon, which can only show that the Rokkaku family is mediocre and the minister is incompetent.

However, the clan is a little unclear now, although there are not many first-class samurai of the Asai family, there are still a few samurai who can handle it, and there are also Asai Nagamasa who can be regarded as wise masters, and there is the Asakura family to assist, and they have been entangled with the Rokkaku family for so long, but they have not been able to win, and I don't know what went wrong with the Asai family. Now the clan is still unclear, the reason why Asai Nagamasa can't go all out against the enemy is because he needs to spend a lot of energy to guard against the affairs of the retainers, if Zhilu talks about this, he will definitely look down on Asai Nagamasa, and the governor who can't even control the retainers can do anything.

Putting this matter aside, although the clan has not yet understood the situation ahead, it already has a strategy, and it is really a waste to use a clever plan to deal with a mallet like Rokkaku Yoshiji, and to deal with him, it is enough to use some fire tricks, assassinations and other bad schemes. And only in this way can he succeed without relying on a lot of the power of the Asai family, just imagine, if he can force the enemy's 6,000 army to retreat with only a dozen ninjas, how much damage will this cause to those opponents of the Asai family? In the future, even if they still don't want to, they have to restrain themselves.

As for where to set fire to achieve the effect, the clan still needs to understand the situation before he can make the most decisive decision, maybe it is the old nest of Rokkaku Yoshiji, Guanyin Temple City, or it may be the enemy army's big tent outside the city, and the most likely is the enemy's food storage place, as long as the grain and grass are gone, the enemy can't retreat.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan said: "I don't know if the Asai Hall knows anything about the war outside the city?" ”

After thinking about it, Asai Nagamasa said: "Lord Takayama, Rokkaku Yoshiharu of the Rokkaku family personally led the army this time, with a total army of 6,500 people, and set up camp in Sanri, east of Mekada Town......"

Only six and a half thousand? The clan knew in his heart that it would be easy to mobilize tens of thousands of ashigaru in Minami Omi, which was rich in the Rokkaku family, and now that it had brought half of it, it was easy to set fire to the castle of Kannonji Temple, but it was not easy to let the fire expand. Since there is no hope of setting fire to the city where he lives, he has no choice but to push for the second. I only heard the clan sect ask: "Can the Asai Hall know where the enemy's grain and grass are hoarding?" ”

"This... Except for the small lotus pack in the big tent, the governor of the land where he stored grain is really not very clear, but... In the previous battles between the Rokkaku family and the main family, they all hoarded the grain and grass used in the Aragami Mountain Castle, which is three or four miles west of Mekada Town, and this castle is the closest city directly under the jurisdiction of the Rokkaku family to the family's territory, but this Aragami Mountain Castle is very well defended because it is a place where the Rokkaku family stores grain all the year round, so it is not easy to set fire to the grain. ”

After Asai Nagamasa finished speaking, the clan sect opened his mouth and asked again: "Can the main hall know who is the guard in the city?" ”

Asai Nagamasa has always been extremely concerned about the affairs of the Rokkaku family, so he said without thinking: "At present, the former head of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshixian, is responsible for supervising the grain and grass, and it must be him." ”

After hearing this, the clan smiled slightly, if the person sent by the hexagonal Yizhi to defend the city is a cautious person, in a hurry, he really has no way to burn the grain and grass, but well, if the hexagonal Yixian is guarding the city, although he dare not say that he is ten percent sure, but as long as the deployment is appropriate, it is not impossible to succeed.

Although the clan did not pay too much attention to it because the Hexagon family did not have any too decent talents at present, but those well-known retainers of the Hexagonal Family, or the family governor, he still knew a little bit about the Lu Dao, and this Hexagonal Yixian was one of the people he knew about the Lu Dao, and the Hexagonal Yixian could not even meet the standards of a second-rate samurai in terms of ability, but because of the virtue of his ancestors, he became the former head of the Hexagonal family, but he couldn't listen to people from the bones, otherwise he would not have been defeated by Asai Nagamasa before, so he had to give up the family governor to his son. If you can't even deal with him, then your title of Owari no Fox will be in vain.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect say confidently: "The Asai Palace, according to the next opinion, it is not difficult to destroy its grain and grass, as long as the main hall sends an army to assist, it is guaranteed to succeed." ”。
