Niwa Nagahide, as the forerunner of the Oda army in the Minami-Omi region, arrived at Imatata Castle on the afternoon of December 6. On the way, Niwa Nagahide's army did not meet decent resistance, and Oda Nobunaga still did not convey the next order to Niwa Nagahide, so Niwa Nagahide had to order his troops to be stationed first.

After the troops under him were stationed, he immediately set off for Niwa Nagahide's residence. Now Niwa Nagahide's 3,000 troops are stationed under the present-day Katata Castle, but there is no news of the follow-up military situation, if the Ashikaga family or the Matsunaga family raid from behind to cut off the connection between Niwa Nagahide's military power and the Oda family, I am afraid that I will also explain here.

With the question in his heart, Burning Sky walked to the front of Niwa Nagahide's station. The samurai on duty greeted the Burning Sky with a few words, and the Burning Sky also responded to their greetings in earnest. The samurai on duty listened to Burning Sky's words, motioned for Burning Sky to wait a while, turned around and entered the somewhat busy station.

Sakaku glanced at the house of the temporarily requisitioned land attendant, then looked down at the saber at his waist, and his mind quickly recalled what he had seen between Akechi Mitsuhide supporting him from Sakamoto Castle to converging with Shigeharu Takenaka's army to return to Sakamoto Castle. I always felt that there was something wrong with it, but I couldn't tell where it was, and countless fine sweats were oozing from my forehead in the cold wind.

"My lord, my lord summoned you in!" The words of the samurai returning from the garrison interrupted Burning Sky's thoughts. Hearing this, Burning Sky opened his eyes, bowed his head to the samurai who had come to inform him, and then pressed the sword at his waist and entered the station.

In the station, Niwa Nagahide's attendants were called back and forth by several commissioners, carrying them in their hands and shoulders, running around amid the shouts of the commissioners. Burning Sky carefully avoided the attendants with various supplies and ordnance, and came to Niwa Nagahide's house under the watchful eyes of the commissioners.

Niwa Nagahide looked at the Burning Sky who was standing under the verandah outside the house and was tidying up his armor, and shouted at the Burning Sky: "Come in with the Ming Sha Gate!" Burning Sky looked up and saw that Niwa Nagahide in the house was watching him, and immediately walked from the outside of the house to the house, and slightly adjusted the belly roll on his body on the way.

The attendant on the side had already placed Mazar in front of Burning Sky the moment he entered the room. Burning Sky first bowed to Niwa Nagahide, and then sat down on the maza at Niwa Nagahide's behest. Before he could speak, Niwa Nagahide had already spoken, "Mingshamen, I know what you have in mind. After that, he turned his head to the attendant beside him and said, "You go out first!" ”

Niwa Nagahide watched the wooden door of the house being closed, got up and said to the burning sky: "This morning, the lord sent a letter, and he has ordered Shibata-sama to gather 2,000 troops to march towards Imakata Castle, and the lord also mentioned the military strength of Mitsuhide and Hanbei, and when they lift the siege of Sakamoto Castle, they will also come to converge, and now Kinda Castle will be surrounded by more than 8,000 troops, plus the big tube in Sakamoto Castle, it should not be a problem to break through Imakinda Castle." ”

After listening to Niwa Nagahide's words, Burning Sky lowered his head and said to Niwa Nagahide: "Niwa-sama, don't forget, the forces such as the Matsunaga family and the Miyoshi family, which have joined forces with the Ashikaga family, if we are not very good, it is very likely that we will fall into a dilemma!" ”

"You don't have to say much! I've got my own arrangement! Niwa Nagahide said sternly to the Burning Sky with a cold face just after the words of the Burning Sky Burning Voice, sitting on the Maza at the top. Niwa Nagahide's momentum that erupted in an instant filled the already not spacious room with a bleak chill, making the burning sky sitting on the maza couldn't help but feel suffocated.

Just a few breaths later, Niwa Nagahide spoke again and said to the burning sky: "By the way, the contradiction between Azuchi Senemon and you, you have gone a little too far, do you know that once the responsibility for disturbing military discipline before the war falls, the main guild will spare him?" are all colleagues, why be so decisive, I have already detained this matter in my hands, you have made a fool of the merits, I will report it, okay, you can go back if there is nothing to do! Wait for me to wait for the order at any time! Niwa Nagahide listened to Burning Void's words, and skillfully avoided the important content that Burning Sky wanted to know, and instead pulled out the contradiction between Burning Sky and Azuchi Aemon, wanting to help the two eliminate the conflict.

Hearing Niwa Nagahide's dissatisfaction, he bowed his head and bowed before exiting the room where Niwa Nagahide was. On the way back, Burning Sky recalls Niwa Nagahide's words, and then discovers what he dislikes Niwa Nagahide. I take myself too seriously!

Although he is now somewhat famous, compared with Niwa Nagahide, who has worked with Oda Nobunaga for decades, he is just a fledgling hairy boy. Even though Oda Nobunaga values personal ability, don't forget that it took nearly twenty years for the current Hashiba Hideyoshi to climb to his current position. Fang Cai almost put himself in the position of the general who commanded the 3,000 troops, which really made the actual general Niwa Nagahide unhappy. Fortunately, the impression of Niwa Nagahide on Niwa Nagahide was not bad, Niwa Nagahide just knocked and knocked on the incineration, warning the burning sky not to be arrogant, and did not punish the burning of the sky because of the faux pas of the burning of the sky.

After thinking about what went wrong with him, he silently recited in his heart, "Think twice before acting, plan before acting." Such a quote to warn yourself. This time he was indeed reckless, perhaps because of the recent light on his body that made him forget the old saying "a gun shoots a bird". At the moment, I still have to restrain the edge of my body, and don't make another incident.

Returning to the camp with his head bowed, he was watched by Suzuki Heavy Industries and Ichisuke You, who were teaching Ashigaru siege combat techniques. When the other warriors saw their lord coming back with his head bowed, they immediately gathered around him and bowed his head to the burning sky and asked, "What happened to the lord?" Burning Sky listened to the crowd and realized that he had returned to the camp. So he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to the warriors under him: "It's okay, I'm fascinated by thinking about something!" ”

Then he said to his samurai, monks, and ashigaru: "Recently, Niwa Nagahide-sama has to strictly rectify military discipline, everyone should not make noise day and night, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!" Except for the people on duty today, the rest of the people should rest soon! After announcing the order, Kanku glanced at Imakata Castle in the north by the light of the sun, and then entered the temporarily requisitioned house.
