Seeing Oda Nobutuda walking out of the camp with a black face, Burning Sky and the others risked being reprimanded, and stepped forward and bowed their heads to Oda Nobutada, "Young Master, why are you troubled?" ”

Oda Nobutada looked up and saw that it was Burning Sky and the others, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a trace of arc and said, "Let's talk about it when I go back to the camp!" After hearing this, Burning Sky and the others immediately scattered like guards, escorting Oda Nobutada to the camp.

Outside the camp, Ma Hui suddenly shouted: "Asai Nagamasa set fire to himself!" Kinoshita-sama conquers Otani Castle! Oda Nobutada, who was walking on the way back to the camp, heard the news, looked up at the scorching Kotani Castle, and said to himself: "Let me stop the sword of troubled times!" After that, Oda Nobutada walked towards the camp with Burning Sky and the others, and Burning Sky also looked back at Kotani Castle that was as hot as the sun in the dark night, and it was impossible for him to find out the inside story with his current identity, but aside from the details, he could still speculate a thing or two based on what he had seen and heard and speculated on historical memory.

Seeing that Burning Sky was a little fugue in the team, Doki Ikatsu quietly stretched out his arm and pushed Burning Sky. Burning Sky instantly came back to his senses, and after bowing his head to Dokii Katsu, he escorted Oda Nobutada towards the camp.

After returning to the camp, Shuichi Hasegawa had already sent someone to send a copy of the registered military exploits of Oda Nobutada's military strength, and Oda Nobutada took it from the samurai of Hasegawa's family, looked at it and signed his name. After the samurai completed the task, he kowtowed to Oda Nobutada, got up and bowed his head to Burning Sky and the others, and slowly withdrew from Oda Nobutada's bamboo shed. Riding a horse in other directions.

Oda Nobutada sat in the bamboo shed and took the bamboo tube containing water from the hand of the attendant, and then Mingshan hurriedly handed the bamboo tube to Ozora and others with the approval of Oda Nobutada. After everyone finished drinking, Oda Nobutada began to speak: "Everyone, after this battle, the family has no resistance in Kita-Omi, and the Asakura family has lost more than a thousand elites due to miscalculation, and the power of the family in Echizen has gradually prospered, and the family's plan to take the world step has taken a step forward, and your achievements cannot be buried, and after returning to Gifu, my father will reward you for your military achievements, and you still need to continue to serve your family!" ”

After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Burning Sky and the others saluted and thanked them. But then Oda Nobutada's words changed sharply, and he said to Burning Sky and the others: "Father, I want to put to death Wanju!" Everyone was silent when they heard this, but Shibata Katsumasa was stunned when he heard this, and then said to Oda Nobutada: "It is indisputable to kill the eldest son of the defeated and prevent him from taking revenge on his family when he grows up, and besides, Mikawa Dai..."

"Sanzaemon!" Katsumasa Shibata interrupted Katsumasa's words with a remark, and Katsumasa Shibata looked up and saw Oda Nobutada, who had a cold face, and hurriedly half-knelt on the ground to ask Oda Nobutada. After thinking for a few seconds, Oda Nobutada got up and said to everyone: "What Sanzaemon said makes sense, avoid raising tigers, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is really the best policy at this time, you don't have to discuss this matter, rest early and prepare to return to Shiqifu!" ”

In the days that followed, Oda's army brought the end to the table, and after arranging for some people to stay behind at the ruins of Otani Castle, Oda Nobunaga gave the order to withdraw. Many low-level samurai returned to their homes with their men, and mid- and high-ranking samurai returned to Gifu to participate in Oda Nobunaga's post-war assessment.

After several days of marching, Oda's army finally returned to Gifu Castle, which had been away for nearly a month, and the city was already crowded with countless townspeople, many of whom were cheering for victory and looking for their families. Oda Nobunaga also disbanded the unattended standing guards before entering Gifu Castle, and all the standing guards were reunited with their families, and there was a cheerful atmosphere under Gifu Castle, but a few families were happy and a few were sad, and some of the hard work was just the cold corpses of their families, so I will not repeat them here.

After entering the castle, the families of the samurai gathered at the castle gate to welcome Oda Nobunaga and his family in victory. Oda Nobunaga also gave the order to dissolve after entering the castle, and then Oda Nobutada and others were summoned by Oda Nobunaga, and minor people like Ozora were free to return home. After separating from Shibata Katsumasa and the others, Burning Sky took Akeyama back to his house to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Oda Nobunaga gathered all the large and small samurai in Gifu Castle who participated in the Asai Expedition and held an evaluation meeting in Honmaru. Burning the sky asked Mingshan to clean up at home, and he put on a monk's robe with a folding fan in his waist and walked towards Honmaru. On the way, he burned the sky and was accompanied by Kawajiri Hidetaka's family, several people talked and laughed, and on the way, they discussed the matter of Mingshan and Minghai's Yuanfu, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at Honmaru.

Oda Nobutada was already waiting for Ozora and the others in Honmaru, and when Ozora saw this, he said goodbye to the Kawajiri family and hurried in the direction of Oda Nobutada. After saluting Oda Nobutada, Kinaka stood behind Oda Nobutada, waiting for the others to arrive.

After everyone arrived, Oda Nobutada led everyone in the direction of the castle hall, and due to the large number of participants, Burning Sky and the others had to wait outside the castle hall. Oda Nobutada entered the castle hall after setting up the burning sky and others.

Fortunately, the Burning Sky and the others were assigned to a small Mazha, and everyone could sit outside the hall and wait. After that, more and more people arrived, until the samurai were seated behind Burning Sky and the others. Fortunately, Gifu Castle Honmaru is big enough, and it is more than enough to accommodate these samurai. Before the evaluation began, Oda Nobunaga made a speech in the assessment room in the temple, and Kanku and the others could not hear it at all, but this time Oda Nobunaga also arranged a few mothers outside to read his speech to many low-ranking samurai.

After the assessment officially began, the Burning Sky and the others couldn't hear any news at all, so they could only sit outside the city hall and wait, and because of the guard of Ma Hui, everyone didn't dare to talk to each other, so they had to stare at the city hall with their eyes on their own things. Burning Sky looked at the castle hall in front of him and began to think about how to deal with the attack of Takeda Shingen's army next.

I don't know how long it took, when Burning Sky was thinking about how he defeated Takeda Shingen Yang in the Three Directions Plain, Shibata Katsumasa and Dokii Katsu on the side gently pushed Burning Sky's body, and Burning Sky came to his senses and heard the mother outside the city hall shouting: "Hiei Mountain Ming Shamen Burning Sky Entrance Road into the City Hall to receive the Avatar!" Burning Sky stood up and bowed his head to the two of them, and then entered the city hall under the leadership of his mother's clothes.

The castle hall was also filled with samurai, some of them excitedly holding Anzu and Wanyuki in their hands, while others were empty, still waiting for a reward from Oda Nobunaga. When they saw the low-level samurai entering from outside the hall, they all cast various glances. Incineration was thinking about what reward he would get, and he didn't pay much attention to these glances.

In front of the assessment room, he took off his cloth shoes and entered the assessment room. However, the atmosphere in the assessment room made Kinaka feel a little subtle, and the corner of Kinkong's eyes skimmed and he found Kinoshita Hideyoshi, whose face was full of joy, and Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, who were pale. He didn't dare to look at the sky, and after walking a few steps, he stood in place and bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga and said, "The Ming Shamen of Mt. Hiei is burning the sky, and I will meet the lord and all the lords!" ”

Oda Nobunaga obviously didn't take into account the surrounding atmosphere, looked at the burning sky standing respectfully in the distance, and said to the little surname on the side: "Read it!" ”
