When the news of Asai Nagamasa's death broke, Miki Castle's Bessho Nagaharu immediately sent someone to contact him, claiming that "there was no point in holding on anymore", and promising to surrender immediately if he got the territory and join the battle to pacify the world.

Seeing the envoy, he said casually with disdain and a smile: "This condition can only be considered unless your master has the courage to come alone. ”

As a result, the words were passed back, and the next day, Bei Changzhi really only took the two of his servants out of the city to meet him, and behaved calmly and calmly, without fear, neither humble nor arrogant, and his words and deeds were complacent.

After asking about it, he learned that this person was only a weak crown, but he saw that he was quite a general, and praised him: "What a young man!" ”

Agreed to the subjugation conditions of the eight counties of Higashi-Harima.

When the army entered the vicinity of Miki Castle, the retainers were eager to try it out, and they had strong illusions about the vast area of the Kansai region, especially after the sudden fall of the Asai clan, leaving a large area of space, which was like unguarded gold, silver and jewels in the eyes of everyone.

But the tie himself behaved very indifferently, and seemed to have anticipated something not optimistic in advance.

When the retainers asked for orders to send troops to clear the remaining enemies, or to transfer the people of the country, although most of them were approved, they were instructed: "Don't put too much hope in it, the changes in Kansai may be unexpected." ”

Sure enough, things got complicated next.

Most of the people sent out hit a wall - it would be wrong to say that they had hit a wall, but the exact situation is that the tentacles of the Bizen Ukita Naoya seemed to fill the entire Harima in just a few days, even the surrounding Tajima and Mimasaka areas.

Many of the strongholds that originally belonged to the Asai family assumed to be the Uki family overnight, and then assumed the posture of a friendly army to greet the envoy of the Heite family, and what happened was simply incredible. There are only a few traces of battle, and most of them seem to have just changed flags!

The local tyrants and servants seem to have made an appointment, and in the case of unclear surrender conditions and worrying that they will not be able to get safe, although almost all of them show a posture of flattering the king and setting things right, but there is a considerable degree of reservation in the words and expressions, "If the conditions are not ideal, we will consider the Uki family as a way out" No one is stupid enough to say it, but it has been revealed.

It is not surprising that the trees are falling apart. For many years, Asai Nagamasa has been lacking in internal problems, and has never been able to restrain his subordinates by laws and systems. It is not an exaggeration to say that his army is a "rabble". On the other hand, it is also a very powerful ability to make a group of rabble dare not disobey orders during his lifetime.

Surprisingly, when the tree falls, all the monkeys run in one direction, so that people don't have room for conspiracy theories.

The only exception is Murozu Castle, which once reigned by Urakami and Uno and now exists as the residence of the Asai clan. It was the last city to hold the resistance, albeit only for half an hour.

The flat-hand army lined up outside to launch an attempted offensive, and after three rounds of gunboat fire from outside the harbor, the defenders lost all morale, some surrendered, some fled. Many of the clansmen and genealists came to ask for mercy, and there were no talents worth mentioning, and they were unceremoniously detained.

Then, I saw a few traces of smoke burning from the main pill, as if he was about to set himself on fire.

The leader of the team, Hitomi Hideyi, asked, "Who else is in the city?" Who's in charge? ”

The captives replied in fear, "Only the lady, the son, and the young lady." "Who is in charge in the panic, but the question cannot be said.

After observing and thinking for a while, Hirate Hideyi saw that the momentum of the smoke was not great, and felt that there was no danger, thinking that it would not be a good thing for the family members of the enemy chieftain to be burned to ashes, and that the relatives of the sovereign were also included, so he ordered the soldiers to enter the city anyway.

And he took the materials and extinguished the flames with sand, earth, and stones.

As a result, only a small half of this pill was burned.

Hirate Hideyoshi saw Mrs. Asai Masamuro and Oda Nobunaga's sister Aichi holding a sharp blade and intending to commit suicide, and there were some remaining servants and maids next to him who were desperately trying to dissuade them, and several children were crying into tears.

The "ghost boy" is skilled in martial arts, quick in his eyes and hands, and uses the barrel of the gun as a wooden stick, and with a slight wave, he knocked down the knife in the opponent's hand, and then ordered someone to control it.

After all, this lady is a compatriot of the "Inu Gozen", the aunt of the second generation, and she needs to be polite for the time being when she has not received clear instructions. The servants and maids beside her were also kept.

Next, take a little inventory of the heads and find something worth pondering.

It is said that Asai Nagamasa has a good fertility, and he has eight or nine children. Leave those side rooms aside, it doesn't matter anyway. It is said that he has a son and three daughters, and the eldest man should be at the age of being about to be served.

Today's gains, all three daughters are well. The one called "Cha Cha" was already seven or eight years old, seemed to be smart and precocious, and after sensing that the soldiers did not dare to have malicious intentions, he immediately stopped crying, calmed down, and even asked about the identity of Hisho Xiuyi, and after getting the response of "I am the nephew of Hisho Da Nayan", he immediately climbed relatives: "I am the niece of Hisho Da Nayan, can I call you a brother?" ”

I didn't feel like my dad had just died.

Not to mention the two little sisters who cried and red-eyed, compared to Mrs. Ashi who lost her soul and looked dazed, this Miss Cha Cha seems to be the daughter of a more mature martial artist.

But this maturity vaguely frightened Hitori.

A dignified warrior who was born and died, but he just wanted to stay away from this little girl.

Asai Nagamasa's sister-in-law has been looking for a long time, but he can't see anyone dead or dead, and I don't know if he was burned to ashes. The servants couldn't say why, and Mrs. Ashi couldn't talk at all, so Hisho Xiuyi suddenly wanted to ask the precocious Miss Chacha.

The other party didn't feel embarrassed at all, tilted his head and smiled and said, "Brother Wanfumaru?" I think he ran away, but if he burned to death, everyone would be happy! ”

These words made Xiuyi feel furious, and he didn't ask any more.

……

After packing up and going back to report, Hiratsu listened to the details, and did not worry too much about Asai Nagamasa's widow and children, and only ordered to find a suitable nunnery in to arrange.

What attracted more attention was about the Ukita Nao's family.

Hearing about the situation of many strongholds and the people of the country, Hiratsu sighed, "That's really the case."

Some of the retainers were inexplicable, some were indignant, some were worried, and their opinions on the matter were different.

Hite's idea is simple - "For a hero like the Ukita family, there is no need to make any twists and turns, send a message to the past, and ask him to come to me in person within five days!" ”

Someone asked, "What if the other party doesn't come?" Going to attack? ”

In this regard, Pingshou Fanxiu chuckled lightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, he will come." ”
