After Sora and Nobusumi Isono had settled their troops, they ordered their men to go around to get some dry firewood and light fires around the camp. Burning Sky and Isono Nobusumi gathered around the fire, and Burning Sky looked at the sparks that exploded when the firewood was burned, and said to Isono Shinsumi: "Isano-sama, I already miss Omi's life in the next, how do you feel?" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Isono Nobusumi pulled his gaze from the fire to the blue sky, and then turned his head to the burning sky and said: "Omi, that's really a beautiful place, the land is fertile, and there is a beautiful view of Lake Biwa, alas, by the way, Mingshamen, your place of knowledge and action is also in Omi?" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "Zhixing in the next place is at Anyang Temple in Gamo County!" After hearing this, Isono Nobusumi suddenly smiled and said, "After returning to the division, I will go to Azuchi Town to visit Mingshamon!" ”

Burning Sky listened to the change of Isono Nobusumi's name, and also found that a certain temperament on Isono Nobusumi was gradually changing, but the specific changes were not easy to say. Burning Sky looked at Nobusumi Isono with a smile on his face, and said to him with a smile: "Then I'm at home, waiting for the adults to come!" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Isono Nobusumi said to the burning sky with a serious expression: "Ming Shamen, don't be polite, you helped me yesterday, I already regard you as a friend, you can call me the Seven Soldiers in the future!" With that, Nobusumi Isono looked at the burning sky in front of him, and his two hands that were red from the fire kept rubbing each other.

Burning Sky took in the body movements of Isono Nobusumi, glanced at Isono Nobusumi again, and then said: "In this case, then the Seven Soldiers, I will take care of it in the future!" With that, Ignorant got up and saluted to Isono Nobusumi, and when Isono Nobusumi saw this, he also got up and saluted after Burning Sky.

Then the two gathered around the fire and gathered their samurai to start a small pre-war meeting. The old team of Burning Sky and Burning Sky sat around the fire together, and the twelve new ronins sat outside.

After everyone sat down, he said to everyone: "Now that it is the middle of winter in the Higashimino area, our battle should not last long, and the family is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, this battle will definitely not be a protracted war, the important thing is that the Higashimino area, the mountain roads are difficult, it is very difficult to transport food and replenish soldiers, and in comparison, the logistics of the Takeda family are more difficult than the main family." ”

After saying a while, he said to the right Ichisuke, "Go get some firewood again!" Then the burning sky continued: "Although the strength of the family's 8,000 troops has destroyed the Asai Gate, the strength of the Takeda army in Iwamura Castle is absolutely not to be underestimated, and it is impossible to let them take the initiative to attack. Your task is to maintain good order in Ashigaru and instill in them who will be the future governor of the Isono family, so that they will be more inclined to the rule of Isano-sama, you know? ”

After hearing the words of the burning sky, the samurai were obviously a little confused. Burning Sky looked at the confused people in front of him, and then realized that he didn't have a door on his mouth, so he coughed and said to everyone: "It is to tell these ashigaru that the future governor of the Isono family must be Lord Isono Nobusumi, and it is the right choice to follow Lord Isono Nobusumi." ”

The crowd nodded, then looked at Incineration, waiting for further instructions from Incineration. Burning Sky looked at the people staring at him in front of him, thought for a while and said to everyone: "You only need to remember the last thing, you have never heard anything else I said, you know?" Alright, you all go and get to work! ”

After listening to Burning Sky's words, everyone bowed their heads to Burning Sky and Isono Nobusumi, and then retreated one after another. Seeing everyone retreat and burn the sky, seeing Isono Nobusumi on the side fall into deep thought, he put his hands on the fire to keep warm, and his eyes were staring at the fire in front of him.

In the days that followed, the clan servants of Higashimino continued to come to Kaneyama Castle to meet Oda Nobunaga, but neither of the Oda family nor the Takeda family had any intention of continuing to advance and fight a decisive battle. In this way, the two sides were stationed under the city, and although they kept sending scouts and ninja detectives, they did not see each other's troops. And the momentum of the Takeda family continuing to devour Higashimino has also stopped.

After spending six days at Kaneyama Castle, Oda Nobunaga sent a letter to the Akiyama Nobunaga of the Takeda family, and after receiving a reply from the Akiyama Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga gave the order to return to Gifu Castle.

After receiving the order to return to Gifu, Nobusumi Isono and Sora ordered the entire army to gather and prepare to return to Gifu Castle. At this time, Isono Bei had already thrown most of his attention to Isono Nobusumi, which was also what made Burning Sky feel normal and strange, and then Burning Sky suddenly crossed the last sentence in "Seven Samurai" in his mind, and then he was relieved. Nobusumi Isono also selected people with better martial arts and conduct from among the ashigaru and promoted them to the samurai under his command.

After Burning Sky transferred back the samurai who was temporarily the head of the group, Nobusumi Isono succeeded in taking over Isono Bei. Although there were still some wavering people among them, Burning Sky believed that a samurai raised by the Shibata Katsu family would definitely have some means, so he was relieved to let Isono Nobusumi manage it. And this is the military situation of other people, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for me to act as a substitute.

Looking at Isono Bei, who had finished the whole episode under his command, Isono Nobusumi said to the burning sky gratefully: "Mingshamen is really my benefactor, and if Mingshamen needs anything in the future, I will definitely try my best to help." After listening to Isono Nobusumi's words, Burning Sky moved his left shoulder, which was basically unhindered, and said to Isono Nobusumi: "I can make you a friend, and I will be content." ”

After listening to Burning Sky's words, Isono Nobusumi looked up at Burning Sky and said, "Mingshamen is really a person who upholds 'benevolence and righteousness', and I'm glad to have made a friend like you!" After hearing this, Burning Sky smiled at Isono Nobusumi, and at this time, Oda Nobunaga stepped out of Kaneyama Castle on horseback, and the army behind him also followed Oda Nobunaga in the direction of Gifu Castle.

Soon after the march, Oda Nobunaga's 8,000 troops reached Gifu Castle, and Oda Nobunaga ordered all the troops to return to their territory, ready to be recruited again. Nobusumi Isono and Kinkong were invited by Oda Nobutada to a banquet in Oda Nobutada's house, saying that it was to thank Ashora for helping Isono Nobusumi. Burning Sky listened to Oda Nobutada's words, and had some doubts in his heart, when Oda Nobutada invited him to the banquet before, he did not give a reason, and this time when he invited himself to the banquet again, he thanked himself for helping Isono Nobusumi.

Thinking of this, Isono Nobusumi glanced at Isono Nobusumi on the side, and after Isono Nobusumi felt Ignorant's gaze, he then said to Ignorant: "Mingshamen, I told the young master about what you helped me, but I also just learned that the young master invited you and me to the banquet." After listening to Isono Nobusumi's words, Ozora felt that Oda Nobutada had no need to plot against him, was he afraid that he would leak his private correspondence with Takeda Matsu. Thinking of this, the burning air's face turned cold, and his heart began to calculate.
