Unlike the time when he first arrived in Owari, today's Hijo Hisho didn't care about the etiquette at all, with a solemn look on his face, and strode in, and wherever his eyes looked, no matter who he was, he couldn't help but bow his head to avoid it, and he didn't dare to look at each other.

"Did the Lord of the Criminal Department deliberately light the car Jane never came here?" Oda Nobutada wanted to express a friendly and calm gesture, but he was really powerless.

So much so that there are obviously very mixed emotions in his tone.

Following the other party's strategy, he really tempted Takeda Katsuyori to take the initiative to go out of the city, and Cheongju was lost and regained, of course, it was a happy event. The dove of the ancestor of Changzong occupies the magpie's nest and refuses to return the city easily, which can be regarded as happy and sad. Now that the area around Gifu Castle has been hit, the joy of recovering Cheongju is gone.

Almost all of the Mino people, as well as some of the Owari people who had emigrated to the vicinity of Gifu Castle, thought that they should hurry back to their divisions so that their property would not be plundered and their relatives would be killed. This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But there are also some generals who strongly oppose the withdrawal from a military point of view. Of course, their point of view is also valid - there is still an enemy ahead, and with the morale of the soldiers today, once the evacuation process is hit, it will be a collapse situation.

Then among the people in front of them, a few "smart people" popped up and said: In addition to us, the Okazaki people of the Tokugawa family are also nearby, and while they are fighting with Takeda, can't we leave safely?

The latter group accused the Oda family of seriously damaging their diplomatic reputation and chilling their allies, so what if the Tokugawa family switched to Takeda in a fit of rage?

The crowd was arguing, and Oda Nobutada could not decide.

The result is that you can't go or go, and you can't fight properly.

Stalled.

At this time, hearing that the lord of the Heite Punishment Department had arrived with a cadre of elite cavalry, Oda Nobutada put his jealousy behind him for a while, and his sense of happiness in picking up the life-saving straw prevailed, and he hurriedly ordered someone to invite him in.

The ministers reacted differently, and many people's expressions were reluctant, but how could they have the courage to stand up?

Then, I saw a tie and a murderous entry into the big tent of the Chinese army, without saying a word, waving his hand to suppress all the greetings - including Oda Nobutada, who was also stopped.

As soon as he came up, he was anti-guest-oriented, unformal, straightened up, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked sharply: "The situation is urgent, not perfunctory, don't talk about superfluous words, who can tell me in as few words as possible, from yesterday morning to now, how has the war situation developed here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, no one in the audience, including Oda Nobutada, was stunned or frightened, but no one responded.

Pingshou Tsunoshi didn't have the patience to wait, stretched out his hand and pointed at the name of his old friend and in-laws: "Zuo Zuodian, please tell me!" ”

“…… Okay......" Sasa Naruma was in a complicated mood, his face was gloomy, and he hesitated for a moment, but he quickly gave birth to the idea of focusing on the overall situation, and concentrated on speaking: "Early yesterday morning, the young lord of the Tokugawa family led the Okazaki people to successfully raid the Changjing Department of Yama County...... No, it was to report to the lord, send troops to attack, and together with the friendly army, he broke through the headquarters of the mountain county, and was close to where his general flag was. Unexpectedly, at this time, the army of Takasaka Masanobu came from the east, and we did not check for a while and turned passive, and the lord had to lead the army to come forward to assist in order to stabilize the balance of power. Today, the Tokugawa army believed that the upper hand was still in their hands and asked our family to attack together, but at the same time, we learned the news from Gifu Castle, and the generals had different opinions and it was difficult to make a decision. ”

"I see, it's not far from what I guessed." Pingshou Fan Xiu nodded lightly, and said a boastful remark—of course, although it was boastful, everyone present probably believed it—and then after a moment's thought, he asked again: "How many troops do we have now?" ”

"I, the Oda Army, still have 12,300 people who can fight." Sasa Narumasa subconsciously exaggerated a little, "The Tokugawa army Okazaki is a crowd, claiming to have four thousand elite soldiers. The Takeda Army's Yama Prefecture had already suffered heavy losses, and it was estimated that the remaining strength was less than 2,000. Takasakabe ...... Originally, I heard that it was 5,000 people, but yesterday at least more than 10,000 people were pulled. ”

"How can it be so far from the previous information?" Tieshou Fan Xiu suddenly frowned. He wasn't worried about the increase in the number of enemies, but he was afraid that the Takeda family had quietly used the main force to hide from the world.

"It seems that the people of Mikawa Province have joined the Takasaka Division, and the leaders are Kannuma and Okuhei......" Sasa Narumasa said the information he knew with a dark face.

“…… In this way, the number of people who defected to join the Takeda Army in Mikawa has exceeded the number of people who followed Tokugawa to defend Okazaki Castle......" Hirate Tsunohide's face flashed with sarcasm, "It is worthy of the people of Mikawa, who are known for their loyalty......"

This complaint made the samurai of Owari and Mino feel very cordial.

However, it was only cordial for a moment, and Pingshou Fanxiu immediately said: "I already know about the things here." Then by the way, Takeda Katsuyori burned, killed and looted under Gifu Castle, which was nothing more than a deliberate noise to lure you and others to return to their divisions! He left Cheongju Castle in a hurry, with three or five days of rations at most, and he couldn't hold out for a few days, so it was impossible to attack Gifu Castle seriously! ”

"That's true!" Zuo Chengzheng immediately helped: "What the enemy wants us to do, we must not do!" If you retreat rashly, on the one hand, you may face the pursuit of Takasaka's troops in front, and on the other hand, you may also be intercepted by Takeda Katsuri, which is very dangerous. ”

It is clear that Sasa has always been in the minority against the withdrawal.

"But what if something goes wrong in Gifu? Our family is all there, including the lord's family! "I'm anxious about the Niwa clan Katsu, a man who has always been a middle-class talent who is not too smart or stupid, but now seems to have gotten carried away.

“…… I've said several times that this kind of eventuality is very unlikely......" Maeda Toshiie, who was next to Sasa Narumasa, tried to argue.

But Niwa Clan Katsu has already shed tears: "The contemptible people have no brothers, and they are old enough to have an only son, and they can't compare to the many heirs of your two families, even if it is a risk of one in ten thousand, I don't want to take it!" ”

These words seemed to resonate with many of the Owari people, and sympathetic glances came from all around.

Sasa and Maeda had nothing to say.

That's how it came to an impasse.

At this moment, Hite-ho suddenly asked, "Who is the one who stayed behind in Gifu Castle?" ”

Oda Nobutada hurriedly responded: "It's my uncle Nobuya, there are 1,500 soldiers." ”

Hearing this, Fan Xiu nodded: "That's enough!" Lord Shinko is not flexible and enterprising, but he is deeply resilient and more than successful, and I guarantee that not a single soldier of Takeda Katsuyori can enter Gifu Castle. ”

"But in case ......" Niwa Katsu obviously can't be easily convinced.

"I've vouched, what else do I have to say?" Tie is right.

"This ...... But...... In case ......" Niwa Clan Katsu didn't dare to fight, but his words were still unconvinced.

"With my ability to calculate everything, there will be no accidents." Tie Tsuyo goes one step further and is aggressive.

“…… You...... This...... In case of...... In case my son is really unlucky, what is the use of your guarantee? Niwa Clan Katsu was filled with grief and indignation, and couldn't help but scream.

"Hehe......" Pingshou Fanxiu smiled coldly, and anger began to appear on his face: "The enemy is currently the enemy, but he only thinks about the young son, it's ridiculous!" You must know that we are a martial artist, and we are born to overcome obstacles to survive! You're only afraid that Takeda Katsuyori will enter Gifu Castle and kill your young son, but you're not afraid of angering anyone else? There are people in the world who have the ability to cut off your family, I'm afraid it's not just the Takeda clan, right? ”

Shocked for a moment, everyone looked up in surprise, but they were silent.

Suddenly there was silence, as if three feet of ice covered the ground.

Looking around, Oda Nobutada clenched his fists very angrily and helplessly, Ikeda Hengxing somehow lost his previous vitality and lowered his head listlessly, Sasa Narimasa was flushed and wanted to speak and stopped, Maeda Toshiya just stared at Niwa Katsu with disdain.

Thinking about it again, Lin Xiuzhen's old man, due to old age and frailty, couldn't stand the fatigue of the saddle horse, and had already collapsed......

Dozens of beautiful children, but not a single one made a sound.

"Lord of the Criminal Department, please be calm and don't be impatient...... After a while, An Tengshou grasped the rhythm and got up with a smile, "You are right, I should be mentally prepared to die at all times when I wait for the martial arts family, and there must be no kindness of a woman." Moreover, it is unlikely that Takeda Katsuyori will attack Gifu Castle. It's just that...... Do you know that from last year to now, we Mino people have been sending troops to fight Takeda, and the burden is extremely high, and we are on the verge of bankruptcy. Now that Takeda Katsuyori is killing people and setting fire to our homeland, I am afraid that it will lead to further decay of people's livelihood, so even if the Takeda family is finally defeated this time, Mino may fall into chaos, so I still have to retreat......"

His words were subdued and magnetic, and at first sound, they seemed to be full of convincing.

But Tieshou Fan Xiu just responded coldly: "Is 10,000 guan enough?" ”

"What?" Mamoru Ando didn't understand.

"I mean—" Hirate Hatsuhide's face showed a hint of sarcasm, "If Andoden, you can change your attitude and devote yourself wholeheartedly to the battle against Takeda, how about I compensate for the losses in your territory?" ”

"That's ...... Hehe......" Ando Mamoru was stunned for a moment, and used an embarrassed smile to cover his consternation: "The words of Lord Punishment are really incomprehensible, isn't the contemptible person fighting Takeda wholeheartedly now?" But the so-called soldiers and horses go first before they move the grain and grass, and they can't ...... with just a lot of blood."

"Needless to say!" Hisho Fan Xiu stretched out his hand and pointed again: "Inaba Palace, as an old friend of the Anteng Palace, to be fair, in the past few days, have the troops of the Ando Hall fought with all their strength against the Takeda family?" ”

Inaba was stunned at first, and then bowed his head and remained silent.

With his character, he neither wants to open his eyes and say nonsense, nor does he want to offend his friends, so he really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Mamoru Ando was immediately embarrassed.

Then Hisho Honhide breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Oda Nobutada, and said slowly: "What I want to say, I'm done, please make a decision." ”

It took Oda Nobutada a long time to react, understood the meaning of the flat hand, pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then got up, clapped his hands and said: "What we have to do is to work with the Tokugawa family Okazaki to defeat the enemy in front of us!" As for Takeda Katsuyori, who wandered to the vicinity of Gifu Castle, his inferior plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was really not enough to worry about! ”

Pingshou Fanxiu nodded secretly, thinking to himself that this kid, if there is a suitable person to assist him, can take over a system that is already functioning normally, it is still no problem to keep it.

It's a pity......
