Imagawa Yoshimoto can't wait, even if he knows that the capture of Suemori Castle is a matter of minutes, but Imagawa Yoshimoto can't wait. Anyway, Oda Nobunaga also surrendered, and the people of the Iwakura Oda family also sent an invitation, and in Imagawa Yoshimoto's opinion, Owari had been pacified.

In that case, let's keep going! So Imagawa Yoshimoto set out from Yamazaki Castle, first to the west to join Matsudaira Motonobu's forces, pass through Arako Castle, and then march to Crab River Castle. On the way, when he passed by Atsuta Jingu, Imagawa Yoshimoto also went to pay a visit, and then continued north to Kanie Castle.

When I arrived at Crab River Castle, not far to the west was the boundary of Mino, which I had passed by on the way back from Tsugawa Soji Kamiraku.

And only a few important ministers of the Oda family knew about the surrender of Oda Nobunaga on vacation, so everyone else thought that the Oda family had really surrendered. Therefore, when Kawa Yoshimoto's main camp began to march, the people of the Oda family did not stop it at all. In addition, Oda Nobunaga himself was leading troops to quell the rebellion, and he had no time to take care of other affairs, so Imagawa Yoshimoto swaggered through the territory of the Oda family.......

.....

Settsu, Ibaraki Castle.

The Tsugawa family and the Miyoshi family have been facing off here for several days, and the drizzle for several days has baptized the entire Ibaraki Castle battlefield. Miyoshi Changqing's side did not dare to act rashly until he found out the details of the Tsugawa family, and at the same time, Miyoshi Changqing also thought that Tsugawa Soji also had the same idea, so he did not take the lead in attacking the Miyoshi family.

But in reality, it's the weather!

The heavy rain for several days did not know when it would stop, and Tsugawa Soharu did not dare to risk his precious cannon and musket team in such weather. If it suddenly rains in the middle of the battle, it will not be good news for the Tsugawa family.

You must know that the Tsugawa family carried 5,000 muskets on Roku this time.

In fact, there is no special musket team in the Tsugawa family now, because each ashigaru is equipped with a musket squad. However, there is no doubt that the musket team under the command of Gamo Hisashi is still the most elite force of the Tsugawa family.

On October 24, the 24th year of astronomy, it was cloudy and clear.

Seeing that the sun has risen after a long absence, the Tsugawa family ashigaru who have been recuperating for nearly ten days are also a little ready to do a big job.

However, at this time, in the main camp of the Tsugawa family, a group of bigwigs of the Tsugawa family gathered together, and the atmosphere in the main camp seemed a little heavy.

"This is the information sent by the Asai family before, the Suruga Imagawa family Kamiraku has begun to attack Owari, and the Asakura family seems to have some intentions, and the Asai family specially asked the family to prepare early!"

"And just now, the main family received information from various forces such as the Omi Kyogoku family and the Mino Saito family, that the Imagawa family had defeated the Oda family and passed through the territory of Owari, and had now reached the vicinity of Mino-Bupo-gun. It's less than fifty miles away from entering Omi! ”

On the main throne, in front of Tsugawa Soji was a pile of various documents and letters. These letters came from various wealthy families in Owari, Mino, Omi, and other places, but the content was generally similar, that is, the Suruga Imagawa family was about to reach Omi.

In the end, it was the person who had experienced the wind and waves, and the retainers present did not show panic about the news that Tsugawa Soji had just said.

Tsugawa was pleased with the performance of his retainers, and then continued, "But there are two pieces of good news. ”

"The first piece of good news is that the head of the Oda family, Oda Dehansuke, has pretended to surrender to the Imagawa family, and is waiting for an opportunity to attack the Imagawa family. However, due to the large number of Imagawa families, there has been no suitable time. ”

"The second good news is that the head of the Asai family, Kenmasa Asai, seized the correspondence between the Asakura family and the Miyoshi family, and united with Asakura Keitaka and others of the Asakura family to imprison Asakura Munekyo and others, and asked how the Asai family would act next!"

Hearing this, the retainers nodded, and although the situation became confusing with the Imagawa family's Kamiraku, it was not yet in a state of complete collapse on the whole. At least the two key points of the Asai family and the Oda family, the Tsugawa family has not been lost.

"My lord, the Asai family and the Asakura family previously joined forces to take over Kannonji Castle. And Kannonji Castle is the only place for the Imagawa family to pass through Kamiraku, and it is very important, so the Asai family must guard this place! ”

"At present, the decisive battle between the family and the Miyoshi family may break out at any time, and once the rear is unstable, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the family, so Guanyin Temple City must not be lost!" Sanada Yutaka said with a solemn expression.

Tsugawa Soji naturally knew this truth, "However, the Asai family was defeated in Iimoriyama Castle before, and there are not many troops left in Omi, so it is not easy to defend Kannonji Castle!" ”

"Near Omi, what other forces can send reinforcements to support Guanyin Temple City?" Soharu Tsugawa set his sights on the retainers present.

Some of the retainers from the Ou region didn't know much about the situation in the Kinai region, so they didn't know where to start, so they kept their mouths shut with interest. At this time, Yukihide Hazu, who was born in Ise, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who was born in Mino, appeared at the same time.

The two glanced at each other, and then Yukihide Hazu motioned for Akechi Mitsuhide to speak first.

Akechi Mitsuhide was not humble either, and hurriedly said, "Isshiki and Takeda in the northern part of Omi have already gone out with their families, and the Asakura family doesn't have to think about it. In this way, there are only Iga and Mino! ”

"However, although the Mino Saito family and the Asai family are in-laws, there is civil strife at home at this time, and I am afraid that they will not be able to send troops, so Iga can consider it!"

The head of the Saito family, Saito Yoshiryu, is the daughter of Asai Hisasa, and the two families are considered in-laws.

"There are many Iga clans, and the interior is complicated, so if you want to convince the people of Iga to send troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult, right?" Sanada Yutaka said with a frown.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, and then said, "The current head of the Iga Guardian Nishiki clan is from the Omi Rokkaku family, and has long served as the shogunate's imperial companion, so he has a close relationship with the shogun's family!" It is incumbent upon you to send troops to support Guanyin Temple City! ”

"As for the other Iga clans, such as the Morita clan and the Ueda clan, the family only needs to send one retainer to carry a heavy gift and promise a generous reward, and it is not easy to convince them!"

Tsugawa Soji has never been a mother-in-law's person, seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide has already said this, Tsugawa Soji immediately clapped his hands and said, "Send an order to Endo Uenosuke (Endo Kishin), let him go to Iga, and be sure to persuade the Iga Hao clan to send troops to support Kannonji Castle." The family gives them the right to act cheaply, and they are responsible for everything! ”

"Hah!"

"Besides, what else do you have to offer?" As he spoke, Soji Tsugawa looked at Yukishu Hazu on the side.

Yukazu Yukihide hurriedly said, "I was born in Ise, although my father is only a local head, but he is also very familiar with Ise!" If the lord trusts him, he will go to Ise and persuade the people of Ise to work for his family! ”

Ise is known as a small Warring States, and there are many wealthy families in the country, so it can be said that it is a serious "village chief war". However, even if he was as strong as Oda Nobunaga, he suffered several big losses when he conquered Ise Province in history, which shows that the strength of the Ise Province was also extremely strong.

Soji Tsugawa looked directly at Yukihide Hazu for a long time before he said, "Since Saburo Bei is so confident, then this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"If you can really convince the people of Ise to take refuge in your family and relieve the siege of Kannonji Castle, your family will have a reward!"
