After listening to Sabei's words, Oda Nobunaga laughed out loud and then inserted the folding fan in his hand into his waist and said to Sabei, "This is Kankuro's second defeat, can I let him go easily?" ”

After speaking, Oda Nobunaga walked back to the upper seat and said to the next people: "Now that almost all the important ministers in the family are fighting with the enemy in the Nagashima area, I am afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of the first Battle of Nagashima, so everyone must immediately mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized near Gifu Castle, after Takeda Katsuyori tastes victory for the first time, he will soon become obsessed with this taste, and we must prepare for the Takeda family to raid Gifu Castle!" ”

As soon as Oda Nobunaga's voice fell, Hasegawa Shuichi on the side got up and said to Oda Nobunaga, who was gently fanning the folding fan: "My lord, Lord Murai still has a lot of troops in Kyoto, do you want to transfer them back to Gifu Castle?" ”

"No! The daimyo of the western country have many eyes and ears in Kyoto, and once Murai-sama leads the people of Kyoto to return to defend Gifu, how can those daimyo of the western country miss the opportunity to expel their family from Kyoto this time! ”

Before Oda Nobunaga could speak, he saw that Sabei in front of him had already stood up again and refuted Hasegawa Shuichi's words.

After realizing that he was a little rude, Sabei immediately bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga and Hasegawa Shuichi and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm rude!" ”

Hearing this, Hasegawa Shuichi also waved his hand at Sabei, bowed his head and said: "I was short-sighted, I didn't expect what Lord Mingwei was thinking, it was a mistake under the bottom, but fortunately, Lord Mingwei pointed it out in time, and there was no rudeness!" ”

After listening to the words of the two, Oda Nobunaga got up and swept the retainers at the bottom, and said to Tsuda Nobusumi, who was silent beside Sabei, "Shichibei, as a sect, do you have a way to save your family when the Takeda family raids Gifu Castle?" ”

Tsuda Nobusumi, who was named by Oda Nobunaga to ask questions, heard this, and immediately got up and said: "Lord, I think that although Takeda Katsuyori is a small victory over the young master, he has no strength to continue the pursuit!" Although the Kiso family surrendered to the Takeda family, they would not let Takeda Katsuyori use all his military strength to compete with the family, as Sabei said, the mountains and severe cold of Shinano and Mino are Takeda Katsuyori's biggest enemies, and I think that Takeda Katsuyori will not risk continuing to go deep into the family's territory, but will wait for the young master to withdraw his troops, and return to Kai! ”

After listening to Tsuda Nobusumi's words, Oda Nobunaga nodded involuntarily, and then asked Sahee, "Do you think Takeda Katsuyori continues to pursue Kankuro?" ”

Hearing the question, Sabei thought for a moment and bowed his head to Oda Nobunaga and said: "My lord, I think that no matter whether Takeda Katsuyori will pursue the young lord or not, the family must be fully prepared, and Takeda Katsuyori is also a figure not inferior to his father, I think he should know the most suitable time for him to withdraw his troops." ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly said: "Shichibei and Sabei, the two of you will lead all the troops in Gifu Castle to attack Tangdong Castle, where Kankuro is currently stationed, and set off now, and the hundred horses stationed in Gifu will also be at your disposal!" ”

After speaking, Oda Nobunaga said to everyone again: "Now that the family has reached the most dangerous moment, how close is Wise Castle to Gifu Castle, everyone knows in their hearts, and now issue an emergency mobilization order to all the samurai people in Gifu Castle, except for pregnant women and children under the age of twelve, everyone is armed!" ”

Then Oda Nobunaga said to Hasegawa Shuichi and other ministers: "The common people of the castle town, all young and strong, are all requisitioned, and those who stand and enter the castle guards, their families can also enter the castle and live in Sannomaru, if they do not want to enter the castle guards, they will directly confiscate their family wealth and drive them out of Gifu Town!" ”

When everyone heard this, they agreed, and at this time, Oda Nobunaga's whole person was also excited, which made Sabei feel extremely excited.

After leaving the castle hall, Sabei immediately returned to Yashiki to convey his orders to the retainers in Yashiki, and then went to the vicinity of Gifu Castle with Oda Nobunaga's remaining 100 horses to gather troops. In the end, with the addition of the troops under the two men, a total of more than 3,500 troops were assembled.

Under the watchful eyes of Oda Nobunaga and others, Sabei and Tsuda Nobusumi led these more than 3,500 people and quickly set foot on the road to Tangdong Castle. Looking at the distant forces of Sabei and Tsuda Nobusumi, Hasegawa Shuichi whispered to Oda Nobunaga and asked, "My lord, although Lord Meie and Lord Tsuda are the same and have established great merits, is it a little rash to let them bear such a big responsibility, if so... Isn't this family going to..."

After listening to Hasegawa Shuichi's words, Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "Going to handle the task in Gifu Town is your greatest credit to the family now, don't worry too much!" ”

After speaking, Oda Nobunaga looked at the direction where Sabei and the others were going, the corners of his mouth rose again, and then looked at the ministers behind him who were looking at the direction of Sabei and the others who were far away, and said with a smile to the mother-clothed people who were guarding behind him: "Go back!" ”

It only took half a day, Sabei and Tsuda Nobusumi came to Tangdong Castle with more than 3,500 troops. After seeing the Oda papaya flag on the Tangdong Castle, Sabei said to Tsuda Nobusumi beside him: "The Tangdong Castle is still there, the young master has not been defeated by Takeda Katsuyori, and the family still has a chance to repel Takeda Katsuyori!" ”

After hearing this, Tsuda Nobusumi asked a little confused: "Sabei, didn't you say that Takeda Katsuyori is waiting for a suitable time to retreat?" After hearing this, Sabei also smiled and said, "No, the opportunity for Takeda Katsuyori to retreat is coming soon!" ”

Hearing this, Tsuda Nobusumi stepped forward and grabbed Sabei, who was riding forward. Sabei, who leaned back a little, immediately steadied his hands, not to be frightened by his excessive movements or to give wrong orders to his mount.

Fujido Takatora and Sukeemon beside Sabei saw that the situation was not good, and immediately supported Sabei who leaned back. Seeing this, Tsuda Nobusumi immediately pulled and pushed, allowing Sabei to stabilize his body.

Sabei, who stabilized his figure, gently stroked the horse's mane under his crotch, and then said to Tsuda Nobusumi: "Seven soldiers, some things are broken, you can only let yourself speculate, and you will naturally know when the time comes!" ”

Yanbi Sabei nodded at Tsuda Nobusumi, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and rode his beloved horse and retainers to go down to Tangdong Castle. Tsuda Nobusumi looked at the Sabei who was beating the horse in front of him with some distraction, then shook his head at the retainer who stepped forward to say something, waved his horsewhip lightly, and followed Sabei down to Tangdong Castle.

Oda Nobutada, who was repairing in the cave castle, was discussing with Niwa Nagahide and others about the tactics of resisting Takeda Katsuyori, when he suddenly heard a report from the samurai on duty. Oda Nobutada first got up suddenly, and then said to Niwa Nagahide and the others, "Everyone follow me to meet the reinforcements!" ”

When Niwa Nagahide heard this, he got up and walked to Oda Nobutada's face and whispered a few words, and then Oda Nobutada's face changed slightly, and he said to Niwa Nagahide: "I will not greet them as a young master, but as a relative, and no matter who it is, at this critical time, I will personally greet them, Gorou Zuo, you don't have to say it!" ”
