After speaking, Oda Nobutada got up and glanced at the three people who were stunned like wooden chickens in front of him, pressed the sword on his waist, and slowly walked to the door of the assessment room, looking up at the clouds in the sky.

The clouds in the sky were still drifting with the cold wind, and the Oda army, which was less than 5,000, embarked on the road back to the division. Oda Nobutada rode a horse given to him by his late father-in-law, looking up to the sky and saying nothing, Sabei on the side saw this, glanced at Niwa Nagahide and Tsuda Nobusumi on the side, and even inadvertently saw Shibata Katsumasa and others who had fought side by side with him.

Shibata Katsumasa, Tokii Katsu and others, who made eye contact with Sabei, immediately bowed their heads to their former colleagues, and Sabei nodded and smiled at them when he saw this. Sabei, who withdrew his gaze, also glanced up at the flowing clouds in the sky, it turned out that he was just like the world, but he coveted the flowing clouds in the sky, but he didn't know that he had floated with the flowing clouds, but now he only cared about flying sound.

In the moment when Sabei was distracted, the flowing clouds in the sky and the army on the ground seemed to have reached a consensus, and they both quickened their pace in the howling of the cold wind.

On the second day after it was determined that Takeda Katsuyori had withdrawn, Oda Nobutada sent someone to report the news to Gifu, and after arranging the defensive line of the castle around Tangdong Castle, Oda Nobutada led this army of less than 5,000 back to Gifu with the support of Sabei and Tsuda Nobusumi.

Looking at the towering Gifu Castle perched on the mountain, Oda Nobutada slowed his horse and glanced back at the somewhat embarrassed military presence behind him. After a few breaths, Oda Nobutada reined in the war horse under his crotch and said to Niwa Nagahide behind him: "Gorouzuo, my family lost more than ten cities in a row in this battle, although in the end Takeda Katsuyori retreated, but I am still a sinner of my family!" ”

After speaking, Oda Nobutada turned over from his mount under the gaze of a group of retainers. Seeing this, Sabei also hurriedly dismounted, and stepped forward to grab Oda Nobutada, who was about to unload his armor. The retainers who reacted also dismounted in an instant and knelt in front of Oda Nobutada.

Seeing this, Oda Nobutada broke away from Sabei's right hand, and then said to the retainers in front of him: "All kinds of sins, the sin lies with me, everyone is a warrior who desperately resisted the Takeda family, and they are all meritorious men of their own family, I am ashamed of everyone!" ”

Oda Nobutada's play really made Sabei one head and two big. "Show?" The two words jumped out in Sabei's head instantly, but then they were vetoed by Sabei. Glancing at Niwa Nagahide and Tsuda Nobusumi, who were kneeling on the ground with inconspicuous expressions, Sabei seemed to have captured something.

Oda Nobutada looked at Sabei who bowed his head to him, smiled at the back of Sabei's head, and then waved his hand at the attendant behind him. In a few moments, the attendants were carrying countless white cloth belts. Oda Nobutada looked at the white cloth belt in front of him, and without the slightest hesitation, tied the white belt on his head.

Later, the retainers also followed the example of Oda Nobutada and tied the white belt on their heads. Sabei looked at the white belt handed over by the attendant, and after hesitating for a moment, he still followed everyone to tie the white belt on his head.

Just when Sabei was a little disgusted with the white belt on his head, Oda Nobutada said to Sabei: "Sabei, you fight horses in front of the army!" ”

Without waiting for Sabei to ask, Oda Nobutada untied his armor and removed it with the help of his attendants. Looking at Oda Nobutada's slightly thin underwear, Sabei hurriedly reprimanded the attendants on the side and ordered him to put on heavy winter clothes for Oda Nobutada.

However, Sabei's order was stopped by Oda Nobutada, and then Niwa Nagahide, Tsuda Nobusumi and others were stunned by Sabei's consternation and removed their armor by their own close attendants. At this time, Suzuki Heavy Industries, Fujido Takatora and others were also a little nervous, their lords obviously didn't know about this, and what did His Royal Highness Nobutaka want to do?

Fujitang Gaohu was about to step forward, but was stopped by the seahorse family on the side. After several retainers of the Ming Wei family glanced at each other, they invariably gently pinched the horse's belly, and slowly marched forward.

"Don't shirk the guard, this joint battle, that is, you led your 300 troops to repel the attack of Takeda Katsuyori's 2,000 troops, so that Takeda Katsuyori had the idea of retreating! How about me leading a horse for you with this feat? ”

Sabei, who lowered his head, panicked when he heard Oda Nobutada's words. Who is Oda Nobutada? The young master of the Oda family, the first heir to the throne of the Oda family, who is he? Although it is a gate of the Oda family, it is less than 10,000 stones, and it still belongs to the new ginseng. Even if Oda Nobutada trusts himself a lot, can there be equal trust between the monarch and the minister?

Just when Sabei was terrified, Oda Nobutada said to Sabei with a serious face: "Sabei, do you want me to beg you?" ”

Hearing this, Sabei glanced up at Oda Nobutada, then bowed his head three times in a row at Oda Nobutada, and then spit out: "It's rude!" ”

The townspeople, who had only been released from Gifu Castle yesterday and had not yet recovered from the shadow of the Takeda Army's oppression and the joy of the Takeda Army's repulsion, saw several Oda papaya patterns floating in the distance to the east, as well as several other miscellaneous flags.

Oda Nobunaga in Gifu Castle also walked out of Gifu Castle with a group of ministers and attendants who were already in his regular clothes, as well as various close ministers who were active around him, and went out of Gifu Castle to welcome his son who had returned triumphantly.

As several military flags entered the town, the townspeople of the town found that the samurai who was at the forefront of the horseback was like His Royal Highness the young lord of the Oda family, but the lord of Meiwei, who was famous for his bravery in recent years, and the severed horned head pocket worn by the samurai was the best proof of identity!

While the crowd was stirring, some townspeople began to tell their own "hearsay" stories.

"The young lord fell for the trick of Takeda Katsuyori at that time, and retreated to Tangdong City to reorganize the army to counterattack the Takeda army, but I didn't expect Lord Mingwei to go to inspect on the order of the young master, and encountered an ambush by Takeda Katsuyori, presumably everyone has heard of the name of Lord Mingwei's bravery!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" "Yes, say it quickly!" ......

"Lord Mingwei defeated the army of 2,000 people of Takeda Katsuyori with a force of 300 people, and Takeda Katsuyori knew that he was not Lord Mingwei's opponent when he saw this, so he retreated and fled that night!"

"In the past, when Lord Meie rescued His Royal Highness of the Tokugawa family, he also rescued him from the hands of Takeda Katsuyori!"

"Alas~ It seems to be true, hahaha..."

At this time, Sabei didn't bother to listen to the discussions of the townspeople next to him, but just held the whip in his hand, looked straight ahead, and then met Oda Nobunaga's gaze.

Oda Nobunaga, who had a strange smile on his face, nodded to Sabei on the horse, and then moved his gaze to Oda Nobutada, who was leading the horse. After staring at Oda Nobutada for a few breaths, Oda Nobunaga glanced at Niwa Nagahide, Tsuda Nobusumi and others, who were also dressed in thin clothes.

Just when Oda Nobutada walked ten steps away from Oda Nobunaga and was about to kneel down to plead guilty to Oda Nobunaga, he suddenly heard Oda Nobunaga say coldly: "Kankuro, you are really embarrassed by Sabei!" After speaking, he laughed and said, "Don't come down to salute yet!" ”
