Although he now needs a war to relieve his financial pressure, what he wants is to bully the Ashikaga shogunate forces in the Gyeonggi region and beat up the Asakura family in Echizen. If he was sent by Oda Nobu's long march to support the Tokugawa family, I was afraid that he would lose his troops and lose more than he would lose in the end. And whether his life can be saved will be said, after all, he has to face the Kai Genji pillar Takeda Shingen in his heyday.

Thinking of this, Burning Sky couldn't help but gasp, the volunteer warriors he had just cultivated should not be in such a hurry to provoke the Takeda family. So Burning Sky made up his mind that if he could avoid Oda Nobunaga's recruitment, he would try to avoid confrontation with the Takeda family, and the most important thing was to preserve his strength at present. When the Gyeonggi forces changed, he naturally became the sword of the Oda family.

After a few days, he concentrated on the tax in the territory, after all, grain is an indispensable strategic material, and the amount of grain harvested can even affect the strategic decisions of the daimyo.

After the harvest was over, the villagers around Azuchi began to come to Azuchi to do some work that could earn a little money, and the volunteer samurai under Zanku began to be pulled out by Zanku for professional training. Considering that his current subordinates are not large in number, and there are many melee times, Burning Sky used the tactics of back-to-back stabbing in the trio of later generations for training.

As a result of the Takeda army's aggressive offensive in the Enoe, Mikawa, and Higashimino areas, more and more unstable factors in the Oda domain became apparent. Even in a place like Omi, which was far from the battle line, the mood of the people was fluctuating. The volunteer samurai under the command of Zankong also came to report to Zankong on many occasions about the situation in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and the forces of Honganji Temple and the Ashikaga shogunate were eager to take the plunge, sending a large number of Ichijo monks to start agitating in Yamashiro and Omi.

Burning Sky also gathered his volunteer warriors and monks early and assigned them their respective tasks. The monks were sent to Azuchi to maintain order with the Azuchi peasants, and since ancient times, the struggle within religions has been no less than the struggle between different religions, and it can always remind the townspeople who have given you spiritual and physical (healing, don't think about it) help on a daily basis.

Just as Zanku was preparing to deal with the infiltration of Honganji and the shogunate forces with all his might, Ma Hui from Gifu conveyed Oda Nobunaga's order to Zanku. After seeing the horse return and leaving, Burning Sky raised his head and opened a look at the sky, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really afraid of something!" "Oda Nobunaga ordered the Burning Sky to bring the number of people who were supposed to serve in the military and report to Gifu within five days, and those who missed the deadline would be severely fined.

Burning Sky immediately gathered his brave warriors and ordered each of them to prepare their own dry rations for the fifteenth day, and set out early tomorrow morning. Then he went to the ashramon and told him about his upcoming battle, and told him to be careful. After leaving the office, he gathered the monks and soldiers non-stop, telling them that during his absence, they should not obey anyone's orders except for the orders of Azuchi Senemon and Huiji.

After arranging the monks, Hui Ji, who returned to Anyang Temple to inform Hui Ji of the news that he would leave for Gifu tomorrow, Hui Ji said with a slightly heavy color after hearing this: "Lord Burning Sky, when I was in Kanto, I heard that the Takeda army is unparalleled in the world, and you must be careful when you go, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the temple town, you will help you deal with it in the future, I wish you prosperity!" ”

After listening to Huiji's words, Burning Sky briefly thanked Huiji and left Anyang Temple and walked towards Azuchi. Because the weather was getting colder, Kinakku paid out of his own pocket and went to the town to buy a lot of turbid sake, which can be regarded as a benefit that Sakaki gave to his samurai.

The next day, Yakora left Azuchi with the townspeople and the families of his samurai and headed for Gifu in Mino.

Because they took the Dongshan National Highway, it took only three days for the seventeen people to arrive at the foot of Gifu City. (According to Japanese sources, Oda Nobunaga had marched from Gifu to Kyoto in two days, and since they might have marched at night, we normally arrived a little over three days.) At this time, the city of Gifu was already a sea of flags. Burning Sky first reported to the military headquarters under Gifu Castle, and then arranged for his men to camp in a large army.

When Oda Nobutada heard that the Burning Sky had come to Gifu Castle, he also brought Shibata Katsumasa and Dokii Katsu and others to visit the Burning Tree. After Oda Nobutada saw Ozora, he told Ozora that Kakukura had been approved by Oda Nobunaga, and allowed Kakukura to do business in the Oda domain and gave him a certain degree of convenience. Burning Sky was not happy when he heard this, but said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, how is the offensive of the Takeda Army Higashimino?" ”

Oda Nobutada's smile gradually solidified when he heard this, and then he sighed and said: "I wanted not to mention the matter of the Takeda Army before you went out into battle, but now that you have asked, I will tell you the truth, most of the Tomino nobles and local servants have moved closer to the Takeda family, and my father has lost his temper several times over this matter, and Tokugawa-sama has been defeated and retreated under the offensive of the Takeda army, and the Mikawa and Enoe regions have lost three out of ten; This time, my father recruited 3,000 troops in the territory to save the decline of Lord Tokugawa. ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky lowered his head and remained silent, constantly fiddling with the Buddhist beads in his hand. After Oda Nobutada saw it, he continued to say to the burning sky: "Mingshamen don't have to worry, this time the position of the general is Sakuma Nobumori-sama, and there are also Lin Xiuzhen and Mizuno Nobumoto, all of whom are famous generals of the family, plus the Mikawa Army is brave and good at fighting, and will definitely be able to stop the pace of the Takeda Army Shangluo." ”

Burning Sky took off the Buddhist beads from his hand, and then raised his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "The young lord doesn't have to worry too much, it's the end of October now, and Mino's offensive shouldn't last long, I just hope that the young lord will tell the lord to be careful of the forces such as the shogunate and Miyoshi in Gyeonggi, and by the way, pay attention to the Toyama clan of Higashimino." ”

Oda Nobutuda listened to the words of the burning sky, and was a little confused, so he asked the burning sky: "Mingshamen, I know, now the assembled army has more than 2,500 people, tomorrow the army may set off, you also prepare early, I will return to the city first, Mingshamen, I wish you prosperity and prosperity!"

After hearing this, Burning Sky pressed the sword on his waist and bowed his head and said, "Young Master, farewell!" Then Burning Sky got up and sent Oda Nobutada and his party out of the camp, and Shibata Katsuie, Dokii Katsu and others also parted with Burning Sky one by one.

Burning Sky looked at Oda Nobutada and his party in the distance, and the uneasiness in his heart intensified a little, the tripartite original battle in Burning Sky's memory was in December of the third year of Mototurtle, and now it is only the end of October, Oda Nobunaga has already sent reinforcements to Enoehama Matsujo. The course has changed unpredictably, and it is uncertain whether Takeda Shingen will die of illness in Shinano's Komaba in April of the following year, as he has done in history.
