After listening to Sabei's words, Tsuda Nobusumi also looked away from Sabei, looked at Yi Yiyi, who began to flee to the left and right sides of Fuchu Castle, and said to the attendants beside him, "Charge with me!" After finishing speaking, he took out the sword on his waist and rushed towards Fuzhong City, Sabei was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he listened to the shout of Gozuda Nobusumi, and immediately pulled out the sword on his waist and hit the horse and rushed with Tsu Nobusumi.

has always been in the Oda Army's impact, did not withstand for long, then collapsed, Tsuda Nobusumi also took advantage of the continuous collapse and scattered, and won five heads in a row. Sabei also followed Tsuda Nobusumi to "get some light" and won seven levels in a row, but these heads are all the heads of the unknown ground servants and the disciples of the sect, no matter how much they have, it is difficult to have many merits, but they have become props to show their bravery.

After defeating the Ichijo that besieged Fuchu Castle, Hidecho Hashiba invited Nobusumi Tsuda and Sabei into the castle. and entertained all the generals in his own house. During this period, Hashiba Hidecho naturally couldn't forget to ask Tsuda Nobusumi about the news of Oda Nobunaga's army. When he learned that Oda Nobunaga's army would arrive at Fuchu Castle within a day or two, Hashiba Hidenaga became excited.

Seeing this, everyone stepped forward to comfort Hidecho Hashiba, but during the conversation, they told Hidecho Hashiba that Sabei had defeated and surrounded Momoyama Castle. After hearing this, Yuchai Xiuchang immediately bowed his head to Sabei and said, "I don't want Lord Mingwei to be so bold, and only a hundred horsemen dare to assault thousands of them!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei first presented the merits that everyone said, and then said to Yushiba Hidena: "It's also that Momoyama Castle is dangerous, not like Fuzhong Castle, but if Hide-sama can defend Fuzhong Castle, it's already very powerful if it is not only attacked!" ”

Then everyone repaired in Fuzhong Castle, and by the way, they cooperated with Yushiba Hidenaga to repair the captured Sannomaru. Yuchai Hidecho naturally thanked everyone again, and set up a banquet in the city hall to entertain everyone, saying that it was a hospitality, but it was still something that those Sabei were tired of.

After Tsuda Nobusumi led the people to rest in Fuchu Castle for a day, Oda Nobunaga's army arrived at Fuchu Castle. Tsuda Nobusumi and Sabei and others learned the news of Oda Nobunaga's arrival early, and they also went out of the city early to welcome Oda Nobunaga's arrival.

Looking at the countless military flags fluttering behind Oda Nobunaga, Tsuda Nobusumi and the others immediately knelt on the ground, and Sabei naturally bowed his head and saluted. Oda Nobunaga laughed out loud after seeing everyone, and then said loudly: "Gonroku, what do you just think when you see your previous defeat today?" ”

"My lord, I will definitely be ashamed of my blood, and I will completely flatten the Chaocang family and the disciples of the Yixiang Sect!"

As soon as Sabei reacted that the person who spoke was Shibata Katsuie, he heard Oda Nobunaga say: "Sabei is very good this time, not only did he spread the news of Asakura's intention to surrender to Kyoto in time, but also repelled thousands of encirclements, and he deserved to be the first brave general of his family!" ”

Sabei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, Oda Nobunaga is going to make himself the second Yushiba Hideyoshi. Without thinking too much, Sabei bowed his head and said to Oda Nobunaga: "The reason why Zaixia was able to defeat the siege has always been a success, one is that the samurai under the door and the standing reserve are fighting to the death, the second is to occupy the advantage of the terrain, and the third is the assistance of Lord Nanjo to Zaixia, and Zai Xia will never dare to swallow this merit alone!" ”

Oda Nobunaga laughed even more when he heard this: "If that's the case, wouldn't I even more reward you for breaking the three cities in one night before?" ”

Sabei felt cold in his heart after hearing this, it seems that Oda Nobunaga has begun to guard against himself and Shibata Katsuya and others, and now his future situation will be troublesome. Presumably, Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide have already heard the meaning of Oda Nobunaga's words, and they will definitely distance themselves from themselves in the future.

Thinking of this, Sabei sighed in his heart, and was about to thank Oda Nobunaga for his compliment, when he heard Tsuda Nobusumi on the side look up and say to Oda Nobunaga: "The lord is tired all the way, please go into the city and rest quickly!" ”

Oda Nobunaga said with a smile after hearing Tsuda Nobusumi's words, "Shichibei, how about I praise my son-in-law?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and even Sabei, who bowed his head, almost landed on the ground with his face on the ground.

Seeing that everyone was surprised, he explained: "I just decided to accept Ah Xiu as my adopted daughter, and it should be no problem to call Sabei my son-in-law!" After saying that, Oda Nobunaga hit his horse and walked towards Fuchu Castle, and Shibata Katsuya and others behind him immediately hit their horses to catch up. Seeing this, Sabei and Tsuda Nobusumi had to look at each other, and then followed everyone into Fuchu Castle.

Oda Nobunaga, who entered Fuchu Castle, first deployed defenses around it, and then sent countless Yamanbushi and ninjas to Hokuetsu to investigate the news in detail. As for Sabei and the others, they honestly restrained their troops in the camp and waited for Oda Nobunaga's orders.

Just as the Oda Army was stepping up its preparations and was ready to go, Sabei, who was giving a lecture in the camp, suddenly saw an extra Yongle Tongbao flag on the military flag on Fuchu Castle. This suddenly made Sabei have a guess in his heart, and then Sabei handed over the task of restraining the military situation to the three Fujido Takatora, and he went alone to visit Hashiba Hidenaga, who lived with his brother.

Although the samurai in front of Hashiba's house were very wary of Sabei, Hashiba Hidenaga walked out of the yashiki with a smile on his face soon after. Perhaps sensing that he was too enthusiastic, Yushiba Hidecho's face cooled down at the moment he went out, and Sabei saw that Yushiba Hidecho's face was slightly cold, and he also realized something, and glanced at Yushiba Hidecho, so he whispered to Yushiba Hidecho on the side and asked, "Does the Lord of the Military Flag know about it?" ”

After hearing this, Hashiba Hidecho looked towards the castle, and after a few breaths, he shook his head at Sabei and said, "I don't know! After that, the two of them made up their minds, not what the two of them did, there was only one possibility. The two then chatted a few more words, and then each went back to his house.

On the fifth day of Oda Nobunaga's arrival in Fuchu Castle, Sabei, who was resting in Yashiki, was suddenly summoned by Oda Nobunaga. When Sabei heard Ma Hui's order, he immediately led his subordinates Heiji towards the castle hall.

Sabei, who entered the castle hall, saw Asakura Keigami and Tomita Shigemasa standing in the castle hall at first sight, and after saluting the two in surprise, Sabei quickly entered Oda Nobunaga's assessment room.

At this time, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Tsuda Nobusumi were already seated in the assessment room, and the other samurai were sitting cross-legged on either side. After Sabei entered the assessment room, he also found his place next to Nobusumi Tsuda.

Soon after, several more samurai came one after another, and only then did the lord of the house not arrive. After another moment, Oda Nobunaga's voice came from outside the door: "Don't keep them waiting, wait until the sun is halfway over!" Dressed in pitch-black belly rolls, Oda Nobunaga, accompanied by his attendants and the younger name, strode into the assessment room with an ornately decorated sword.
