Oda Nobunaga, who was in this formation, looked at the generals in front of him and told them not to pursue again.

After receiving the order to return to Sunfu Castle, Sabei took his troops and walked towards Sunfu Castle with the army.

Before the victorious Oritoku coalition army entered Sunfu Castle, Sabei saw that many of Suruga's wealthy clans were already lying on both sides of the road, and Oda Nobunaga only glanced at them, and then handed over the responsibility to Sakuma Nobumori and Takigawa Kazuki.

Returning to Sunfu Castle again felt like a dream, the original imposing Takeda Katsuyori first lost Sunfu Castle, and then was defeated by the Oritoku coalition army, and fled back to Kai in embarrassment, while the Takeda clan, which had lost a large number of elites, was also facing pressure from the Uesugi clan in the north, and the Takeda clan was now in danger.

Sitting in the assigned house, Sabei looked at the retainers who had experienced another fierce battle baptism in front of him, and said with a smile: "In this battle, my family not only completed the task of luring the enemy, but also broke the Takeda army, and the lord will naturally not be stingy with rewards!" ”

Yan Bi Sabei said again: "The lord has not yet ordered Mu Fu to come to evaluate the military merits, everyone first report to me the head and the name on his head pocket, I will register it first, to prevent any problems in the future!" ”

When the people heard this, they immediately agreed.

After Sabei dismissed most of his retainers, Suzuki Heavy Industries and Fujido Takatora, who were the ministers of the humerus, remained in the house, and it seemed that they had something to say.

Sure enough, without waiting for Sabei to speak, Fujido Takatora spoke: "My lord, I don't know what His Highness Nobunaga means? ”

Sabei glanced at Fujido Takatora, and then looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries, and saw the two of them looking at him, so he said with a smile: "The lord's goal has been achieved, continuing to go deep into Kai will make the Uesugi clan jealous, and you also need to guard against the invasion of the Hojo clan." ”

Hearing this, Fujido Takatora glanced at Suzuki Heavy Industries, and saw that Suzuki Heavy Industries nodded, so he said: "My lord, I have received news from Sukeemon that the messenger of the Hojo clan has been found in the dense forest in the eastern part of Sunfu Castle. ”

After hearing this, Sabei looked at the two of them, and then asked, "Why didn't Sukeemon come in person?" ”

After hearing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries stepped forward and bowed his head and said: "It seems that something is wrong with the envoy of the Hojo clan, and the subordinates of the Uemon sent to report it, and it happened to meet the subordinates of the Uemon in Shimowa and Youemon!" ”

"What's wrong?" When Sabei heard the change, he immediately asked the two.

Suzuki Heavy Industries took a deep breath when he heard this, and then said in his ear: "The Hojo envoy and his entourage were ambushed by unknown people, and Suemon led his men to pursue!" ”

Sabei was taken aback when he heard this, and then said to the two, "Where is the ninja who came to deliver the news?" ”

Fujido Takatora hurriedly walked out of the house and brought in the ninja who had come to report the news. When the ninja saw Sabei, he immediately knelt down, not daring to look directly at Sabei's face.

Sabei, who understood what he meant, stepped forward, helped him up, and said, "Are you sure that the Hojo envoy has been ambushed?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Sabei immediately ran to Honmaru in Sunpu Castle and arranged for Fujido Takatora to reward the ninja with five small judgments.

Ma Hui, who was on duty, did not prevent Sabei from entering the temple, and Oda Nobunaga's side only made a report before bringing Sabei into the hall.

Oda Nobunaga, who was at the top, was listening to Takigawa Kazuyi's report, and when he saw Sabei coming in, he just waved his hand to signal that Sabei had to stand at the door and wait.

Sabei looked at Oda Nobunaga, and his eyes gradually fell on Takigawa Kazuki. Could it be that Takigawa Kazuyi got the news of the assassination of the Hojo envoy earlier than himself!

It didn't take long for Oda Nobunaga to stop talking to Takigawa Kazuki. Takigawa Kazuki also bowed his head and slowly withdrew from the hall.

When Takigawa Kazuki walked past Sabei, Sabei heard Oda Nobunaga's inquiry. "What do you have to report to Sabei?"

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's inquiry, Sabei hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, walked to a distance of one or two meters in front of Oda Nobunaga, bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga and said, "My lord, I got the news that the Hojo envoy was ambushed outside Sunfu Castle!" ”

Oda Nobunaga nodded when he heard the news, and then said to Sabei: "I already know the news, and I am sending someone to investigate this matter!" But how did you find out about this? ”

Hearing this, Sabei hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The retainers went hunting outside the city and accidentally found the bodies of the Hojo envoy and his entourage, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform him, and after learning the news, he immediately came to inform the lord!" ”

Oda Nobunaga laughed and said, "These kids, who went hunting just after beating the Takeda clan, are really energetic!" ”

After speaking, Oda Nobunaga looked at it again, and his gloomy gaze was like an abyss, so that Sabei did not dare to look directly. After a few breaths, Oda Nobunaga said to Saheo: "It should be the chaos of the Takeda family, and the purpose is to sabotage the peace talks between the main family and the Hojo family!" ”

Sabei's eyes rolled slightly when he heard this, and then he said to Oda Nobunaga: "The Takeda clan is afraid that after the peace talks between the main family and the Hojo clan, it will be unfavorable to them, so they sent a chaotic wave to ambush the Hojo envoy to prevent the Hojo family from making peace with the Hojo family, and even provoke the relationship between the two families and intensify the contradiction between the main family and the Hojo clan!" ”

Oda Nobunaga nodded when he heard this, then retired from Sabei, wrote a letter, and sent someone to Odawara Castle. But that's what Sabei knew later.

Sabei walked out of Honmaru, already understanding the cause and effect of this incident, and immediately rushed back to Lieutenant Yashiki to summon the ninja who had received the reward, and ordered him to go to stop Sukeemon from continuing the investigation.

Although the ninja didn't know what the situation was, obeying the orders of his master was a ninja's inviolable dogma. After receiving the order from Sabei, he immediately rushed out.

Sabei summoned Fujido Takatora and Suzuki Heavy Industries and gave them an explanation of what he had said in front of Oda Nobunaga. Seeing that there was a trace of doubt in Fujido Takatora's eyes, Sabei was just about to speak, when he heard Suzuki Heavy Industries say: "With Youemon, tell your colleagues the news!" ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries bowed to Sabei, and then pulled Fujido Takatora out of the house.

Sabei looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries and Fujido Takatora who walked out of the house, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Suzuki Heavy Industries, who walked out of the house, said to Fujido Takatora on the side: "The main guild will tell everyone the truth when the time is right, so you don't have to be too anxious." ”

It didn't take long for the entire Sunpu Castle to learn that the peace emissary sent by the Hojo clan had been ambushed by the Takeda clan. Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was in charge of guarding the perimeter of Sunpu Castle, was under pressure and had to meet with Oda Nobunaga to ask for guilt, and at the same time asked Oda Nobunaga to send additional troops to guard Sunfu Castle.

And those Suruga countrymen and wealthy clans were even more afraid, and they asked Oda Nobunaga to allow them to stay in Sunfu Castle.
