When the ninja left, the Takayama clan chief immediately sent someone to summon Katsusuke Tanaka, the Unejima clan, and all his retainers, so that they could come with him to listen to his brother's latest situation and orders.

When the people arrived, I only heard him speak: "Everyone, just now I have seen the ninja sent by the lord to give orders, and I learned from his mouth that the lord has led the people to retreat into Takayama City, although there are some losses, but the enemy has also paid a huge price, it is not difficult to hold the city, at present, the Takeda army has been dragged in Takayama City, if only the Eima army and the monks of Kokubunji Temple come to attack, then this battle, we have absolute certainty that the enemy will be defeated." ”

When everyone heard the news, they all felt excited, and they only heard Katsusuke Tanaka say: "Lord Takayama, I think that when the reinforcements arrive, then we can take the initiative to attack, and there is no need to passively defend in this Matsukura Castle. As long as the main force of the Jiangma family is defeated, the land under his command is not at his fingertips, I don't know what Lord Gao Shan thinks? ”

"I agree with Tanaka-sama's opinion, but I think that after defeating the Eda army and the monks of the Kokubun Temple, it is better to lead the army to rush to the aid of the lord, under the internal and external attacks, the Takeda army will be defeated, the Eda family and the Kokubunji Temple are not to be afraid, and the Takeda army is the big trouble, as long as the Takeda army can be defeated, then with the existing military strength of the family, the Eda family and the Kokubunji temple can be wiped out in a snap of a finger."

After listening to what the two said, the Takayama clan was more inclined to talk to the Unejima clan and what he said in his heart. Nothing was more important than his brother, of course, this was only before, but now that he knew that Brother Dao had already included Wind Demon Li under his command, he didn't plan to do it again.

He thought that since the wind demon had already been converted, in order to avoid having too many dreams, his brother would definitely knock the matter of submission to death. He immediately launched an attack on the Takeda army, and no one was more eager to drive the Takeda army out of Hida than his brother, but after the brother accepted the wind demon and surrendered. But the matter was dragged down, this is definitely not the character of the brother, so it can be explained. It must be the right time.

He didn't know what his brother's overall plan was, so he couldn't lead his army to Gaoshan City, so as not to destroy the lord's plan.

And the people sitting here can all be trusted, and there is nothing to hide, so I only heard the Takayama clan chief speak first: "The enemy's reinforcement Wind Demon Kotaro led the ninja army under his command to secretly return to his own family, so that in terms of the strength comparison of the two sides, the elder brother has enough strength to defeat the Takeda army, but the elder brother is not in a hurry." This proves that there must be a bigger plan.

In order not to disrupt the lord's plan, I agreed with Tanaka-sama's suggestion that as soon as reinforcements arrived, we would immediately lead the army to take the initiative to attack, as for this city. I'll ask Lord Uchijima for the time being, in addition to the military strength under your command, I'm helping your lord 400 peasant soldiers, so that it can be guaranteed for a while, I don't know what Lord Uchijima thinks. ”

After hearing this, the Unejima clan couldn't help frowning and said, "Takayama-sama." That small island city is a place under the rule of Xia, and it is a matter of the next to take it back, and how can you not go to the next, so the matter of sending out an army, you must lead the army to follow. ”

"It's not to grab merit, and I can also understand the mood of Lord Uonejima, but I think that the army under my lordship is tired after the last battle, so it's better to rest in Matsukura Castle for the time being, and you don't need to talk about it."

The Nene Island clan listened to the resoluteness of the Takayama clan chief, although he was still a little reluctant, but after all, as a garrison, he had the right to arrange the defense of the territory, so he couldn't say anything more, and he could only accept it in the end.

After seeing the Uchijima clan nodding, he only heard the Takayama clan chief speak again: "Tanaka-sama, you immediately send someone out to investigate, if you want to defeat the monks of Eima and Kokubunji in one fell swoop, then accurate information is indispensable." ”…,

"Yes, I'll go later."

"Okay, the three of us will perform their duties for the time being, just wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then immediately send troops to the island city."

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and yesterday the retainers under the command of the Takayama clan have not only brought reinforcements to Matsukura Castle, but at present, in Matsukura Castle, the new group of ashigaru is 700, the escort army is 100, the peasant soldiers are 800, and the ashigaru under the command of the inner island is 200, and the total army strength reaches 1,800 people.

At the time of the decisive battle between the Takayama family and the Takeda army, the teachings of Terurenji Temple finally crossed the lofty mountains and came to Kaga Honganji.

In Hida, he can be regarded as a character, but when he arrives in Kaga Province, which is basically controlled by the temples, he is nothing, so he doesn't dare to offend in any way, even if he is very polite to the monks and soldiers who defend the city.

The main hall of the temple is already full of the abbots of Kaga temples, and the reason why they appear here without falling is because they want to respond to Takeda and send troops to attack Oda.

Although Nobukun Anayama did not come to Kaga, let alone meet the abbots of the temples, Nanori Yorishu did not want to give up this great opportunity to eliminate the Oda family. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, I still gathered the abbots of each temple to discuss the matter of sending out the army.

Oda Nobunaga since he ordered the elimination of Mt. Hiei Enryakuji Temple, and burned Mt. Hiei, its notoriety far exceeds that of the Buddha enemy Takayama clan, in the eyes of the monks, Oda Nobunaga is the demon king, if it continues to live in the world, then for the monks, this is definitely a disaster, and now that there is such an opportunity, of course Shichiri Yorishu does not want to give up, this is not only a great opportunity to destroy the Oda family, but also if he waits for the temple to send out the army, in addition to the thousands of monks of Ishiyama Honganji, then whether it is combat power or numbers, it will be ranked second, In this way, after the Oda family is eliminated, when the benefits are distributed, Honganji can also get more benefits, and how can he give up such a good thing easily.

After the abbot of the temple arrived, Qili Lai Zhou was just about to speak, only to see a monk running in quickly and reporting loudly: "Report the first seat, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the person who presides over the teachings of Hida Zhaolian Temple, and he has something important to see, and he also asks the first seat to decide." ”

After hearing this, Qili Lai Zhou couldn't help frowning, he had just sent hundreds of monks to support Zhaolian Temple not long ago to help it resist the Gaoshan Army that had already led the army in, but since then, there has been no news about this army of hundreds of people.

At first, he still had this in his mind, but then he was busy attacking Oda, so he left it behind him, and if he hadn't heard the name of the teachings of Terurenji, I am afraid that he would have had a hard time remembering it for a while.

And in his opinion, the sudden arrival of the teachings of Zhaolian Temple is definitely not a good thing, if it is something, it should also be reported by the monks under his command, after all, no matter how small Zhaolian Temple is, he is also the abbot of a temple, and there is really no reason to run in person.

Could it be that the hundreds of reinforcements he sent have been wiped out by the Alpine Army? Thinking of this, I heard him hurriedly speak: "Tell him to come and meet him." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
