"My brother really wants to ......" Yoshinobu Oda stepped out of the castle tower and looked at the scene outside, his heart was quite complicated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info doesn't need to think about it at all, Oda Yoshinobu understands how terrifying the obstacle of this matter is, and it is even likely to bring disaster to the Oda family.

"But...... If you study it carefully......" Oda Yoshinobu's eyes flickered, then he shook his head, turned over and took the black pill, and instantly turned into a black shadow and disappeared outside Azuchi Castle.

"Yoshinobu, if it were you, you would be able to help me realize this ambition, right?" Oda Nobunaga stood on the observation deck of the castle tower, looking at the vanished Oda Yoshinobu and thinking to himself. He only told Oda Yoshinobu about this matter, and in fact, he only dared to tell Oda Yoshinobu, because he also knew what kind of terrible consequences this matter would have if it spread.

Just as Oda Yoshinobu was heading to Akikuni, Oda Nobunaga sent people to Settsu and Harima at the same time, in addition to letting Yushiba Hideyoshi and others continue to wait, and asking Sakuma Nobumori to persuade Ishiyama Honganji to descend.

"How can this be......" Honganji Xianru muttered as he looked at the letter in his hand, his expression was full of shock, and at the same time full of disbelief and horror, and finally, it turned into helplessness and despair.

"Master?" Shimoma Ryan looked at Honganji Xianru with some surprise, obviously not quite understanding why Honganji Xianru's expression changed so exaggerated after reading this letter.

"Alas......" Honganji did not speak when he heard this, and threw the letter away. Such a rude behavior made many officials even more confused, but when they saw this letter, they immediately understood.

"How is that possible?!"

"Fake, right?!"

"It must be the Oda family who wants to deceive us!"

Many officials were stunned after reading the letter, and then the whole room suddenly became extremely noisy, because the content of this letter, in addition to hoping that Honganji would lead the Ichijo sect to completely surrender the Oda family, it also told them the news of the surrender of the Uesugi and Takeda families by the way.

"Enough! Shut up! Honganji Xianru's angry shouts suddenly sounded, instantly calming down the room, "Boom......" More than a dozen eyes looked directly at Honganji Xianru.

Rao is Honganji Xianru, and in the face of so many expectant eyes, he couldn't help but fidget, "Lai Long, Lai Zhao, Lai Lian, Zhongxiao, what do you three think?" Honganji hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the three people sitting at the front and asked.

Shimoma Yorisho, Shimoma Yoriyu, Shimoma Yoriryo, and Shimoma Nakataka, of which Shimoma Yoriren is a well-used official by Honganji, and Shimoma Yorizhao, Shimoma Yoriryo and Shimoma Nakataka are the Honganji officials who are known as Shimoma Sanbo officials.

Like many powerful families, the Shimoma clan has been serving the Honganji clan since the time of the kin-ryo, and it can be said that in many cases, their words are more effective than those of the previous masters of Honganji. Of course, the most important thing is that all matters of Honganji need their consent before the successive masters of Honganji can carry out all matters, large and small.

Of course, unlike other forces, the Shimoma clan is very responsible for doing their own auxiliary work, and I don't know if it's because they are all monks. For the most part, they never used their influence to try to compete with the Honganji clan for the position of Hojo, perhaps the politics among the monks were not the same as the politics among the samurai, right?

Hearing Honganji Xianru's words, the four of you look at me, I look at you, and then the eldest Shimoma Yorisho coughed lightly twice, glanced around at everyone, and then looked at Honganji Xianru and said respectfully, "Master, if the Oda family didn't deceive people, then even if the Oda family didn't want to surrender, it wouldn't last long, not to mention that in the letter, Oda Nobunaga had already made it clear that this persuasion was the last persuasion." ”

"Humph! Could it be that Oda Nobunaga dared to burn down the city like Nagashima?! A fang official snorted coldly, and it could be heard that he had a very bad feeling about the Oda family. Belch...... Well, it seems that no one in the entire Honganji Temple has a good impression of the Oda family.

"If things are really as the Oda family said, then I'm afraid the Oda family really dares to do this." Hearing this, Lai Zhao replied in a deep voice.

"Then what do you mean......" Honganji looked at the crowd, his face full of desolation. Hearing this, all the officials lowered their heads silently, although they did not speak, but in connection with the above discussion, the result seemed to be self-evident, and Honganji Xianru obviously thought so.

After a long silence, Shimoma Lai Zhao said respectfully, "Dharma Master, although this is very unacceptable, it is better to surrender at this time than to be destroyed. Exiting Ishiyama Honganji Temple is small, and the inheritance of the Ichijo sect is the most important. ”

Hearing this, Honganji Xianru opened his mouth, and finally shook his head helplessly, "Since that's the case, I'll leave it to you." With that, Honganji Xianru got up and walked directly to the back room, and his back looked so gloomy.

Ever since Honganji became the head of the temple, he has been working on the famy-making of Honganji. He has one ambition, and that is to turn Japan into a true Buddhist country! It's a pity that everything failed, and even in the face of the Oda family, they didn't even have the ability to resist.

Although he was only now ready to surrender, Honganji Xianru knew that there had been a voice of surrender in the temple for a long time. After all, they can't fight in the field and can't attack the city, so even if they hold on to the castle with Ishiyama Honganji, how long can they hold it?

It's just that at that time, there were still alliances such as Mori, Uesugi, and Takeda, so that Honganji Xianru could suppress these voices. But now, it is clear that it can no longer be suppressed. Although there is hatred, for the vast majority of Honganji officials, they still don't want to risk their lives for Honganji.

As for the truth or falsity of such a thing as the surrender of Takeda and Uesugi, Honganji Xianru did not discuss it with everyone, because this kind of thing cannot be faked at all.

Soon, Shimoma Yorisho took Shimoma Yoriyo, Shimoma Yorilong, and Shimoma Nakataka out of the city to discuss the surrender with the Oda army. Yes, although Honganji appears to be ready to surrender, it still needs to be discussed. After all, Honganji can't be like the Takeda family or the Uesugi family, and they just need to agree to surrender.

You must know that Honganji is also a Buddhist sect no matter what, and even if you surrender, it is impossible to really work for the Oda family. However, for this matter, Sakuma Nobumori obviously can't make the decision. Therefore, he immediately sent people to send the four men of Shimoma Yoriteru to Azuchi, and at the same time began to provide a small amount of food and water to the city.

Obviously, Sakuma Nobumori did not intend to cancel the siege until Honganji was officially surrendered.
