"Hehe... See? Hosokawa-sama is treating me as an enemy. Matsunaga Shu was smiling and attacking the advancing Hosokawa army, turning his head to Yoshitsugu Miyoshi next to him.

"Huh? It's strange, big brother seems to be very wary of you. Miyoshi scratched his head, unable to understand at all.

"Hehe... It's okay to put up your horse prints. Matsunaga shrugged and said it didn't matter.

"Oh, good. Come! Put up my horse prints! "Hulala, the three good troops in the army also erected their own flags.

"Huh? The righteous brother is also there? Seeing the banner of the Miyoshi family, the Hosokawa army stopped advancing, and Hosokawa Nobumoto pulled out a monocular and followed the horse seal to see Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"Brother-in-law?" Hosokawa Fujitaka asked strangely, I don't know since when, Hosokawa Nobumoto and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu became righteous brothers.

"Yes, in the battle between Noda and Fukushima, Rokuro and Miyoshi-sama cherished each other, and they became righteous brothers." Hosokawa Fujiken spoke from the sidelines, saying that he and Akechi Mitsuhide were both witnesses.

"I see." It's also the first time I've heard of it.

"Since the righteous brother is there, there is no problem, cancel the vigilance, and I will come when I go." After saying that, Hosokawa Nobumoto was about to shoot the horse and go alone.

"Slow down! Although your stepbrother will not harm you? However, it is difficult to ensure that Matsunaga-sama will take advantage of your trust in Miyoshi-sama and hide evil intentions. After all, this is Hanoi, and he has stationed troops here for no reason, and his meaning is unclear, so he has to guard against it. Honda Masanobu stopped Hosokawa Nobumoto, and this time he served as a military advisor to accompany the army.

"That's right..."While Hosokawa Nobumoto was hesitating, Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu walked over alone.

"Big brother!" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is very happy, he hasn't seen him for half a year, and he misses it very much.

"Brother-in-law!" Hosokawa Nobumoto also jumped out of the crowd and patted Miyoshi Yoshitsugu on the shoulder intimately.

"Lord Hosokawa, when I heard that you were coming to the rescue of Takaya Castle, I led an army of 3,000 and waited here with Lord Miyoshi, but Lord Hosokawa drove away." Matsunaga has a kind face, and looks harmless to humans and animals.

"Thanks to Lord Matsunaga's assistance, coupled with the new force of my righteous brother, this battle will be won!" Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't refuse Matsunaga Hide's kindness, not to mention that there was a righteous brother Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"Oh...!" With the addition of these 6,000 troops, the morale of the Hosokawa army was greatly boosted, and the total strength reached more than 11,000 people, which was almost the same as the Awa Miyoshi army.

On the side of Settsu Province, the lord of Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Wada Yushimasa, together with the lord of Ibaraki Castle, Ibaraki Shigema, also led more than 1,000 troops into battle, plus 1,000 people sent by General Yoshiaki Nagai Michitoshi, and the total strength was not much different from Ikeda Chimasa.

At night, the Wada coalition entered Koriyama Castle in the retainer of the Wada family, Shonobu Gun, and the Hosokawa coalition entered Wakae Castle, the residence of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"Everyone, let's discuss tomorrow's battle plan." Hosokawa Nobumoto convened a military meeting in the Ohiro room.

"Big brother! Fight as you say! I listen to you! "Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, as the landlord of this place, was the first to speak.

"Liulang, don't be polite, as the general general, just give orders." Hosokawa Fujiken and others also had no opinion.

"Good! You're welcome to be honest, the current situation is too favorable for us. First of all, we are fighting on our own soil, and the strength of both sides is about the same; Secondly, we are all standing ashigaru, far stronger than the peasants and soldiers of the Awa Miyoshi family. So, as long as you all work together to help me, this battle will be won! Hosokawa Nobumoto was full of confidence, although this was the first time he had commanded 10,000 people in a joint battle.

"Command! Tomorrow there will be a decisive battle with Awa Miyoshi's family, and the formation will be a cone-shaped formation. Hosokawa Fujiken, Hosokawa Fujitaka, Mibuchi Fujiei, Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Haryuki, each led the headquarters as the forward, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Matsunaga Shu protected the two wings! Break the Awa Miyoshi army head-on and drive the enemy to the Hirano area. "Hosokawa Nobumoto used the sand table topographic map to deduce offensive tactics.

"Here?" When Shuichi Matsunaga saw the position of "Hirano", he had some guesses in his heart.

"The terrain here in the plains is relatively flat, which is convenient for the army to move forward, and it is also convenient for the army to evacuate. But there were uneven hills on both sides of the road, and it was extremely difficult to spot behind the army's position. I have laid an ambush of 3,000 iron cannons here in advance, and if the enemy is defeated from here, I will surely gain a great deal. "Hosokawa Nobumoto had already arranged for Sanada Masayuki to go to Saga Castle to mobilize the iron artillery team and secretly ambush here.

"Tall! Rokuro's move is powerful, and if it succeeds, the Awa Miyoshi family will completely lose the power to fight for Kinai. "Wise Guangxi's eyes lit up, this technique of driving away the enemy is used well, it can be called a must.

"Since you have no other opinions, then tomorrow's battle, please do your best. After the victory, he made up his mind to report to the lord and ask for a reward for you. Hosokawa Nobumoto bowed his head and saluted, and everyone returned the salute, promising to fight to the death tomorrow.

In a secret room in Ruojiang City, there were three people sitting cross-legged, and one of the elderly people was the most eye-catching, and it was the Guoxin layman.

"Tomorrow is the decisive battle, what do you think of Hosokawa-sama's tactics?" The fruitful monk looked down at the sand table in front of him, which was no different from the one in the military discussion.

"From a common sense point of view, the tactics are really superior, as long as the time is right, and there are no traitors to betray you, the chances of success are very high." The person who spoke had a grim face, with a faint evil aura, and it was Matsunaga Hide.

"What do we do next? Is it to maintain the current pattern? Or break the mold? At last the samurai was peaceful, but he was very bald, as bright as a kumquat head, and he was wise and beautiful.

"Let's just follow Hosokawa-sama's layout, he put you in the forefront, obviously wanting to give you military merits so that you can be rewarded by Oda Nobunaga in the future." The fruit heart monk saw the deep meaning of Hosokawa Nobumoto at a glance.

"Then I'll get some credit?" Akechi Mitsuhide is also thinking about whether he should do something about it.

"No, I'll leave it to the people of the Hosokawa family, we don't need to take the lead, we will come out when it's time to come out." The Fruitheart Lay shook his head, the more hidden they were, the better.

"Guoxin is right, but it's really strange, Hosokawa Nobumoto doesn't seem to be wary of Mitsuhide, but he is very jealous of me. I saved his life in the first place, why didn't I capture his trust, am I so uneasy? Hehe..."Matsunaga smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It doesn't matter if he's wary of you, it's good that he trusts Mitsuhide, and that doesn't hinder our plans." After speaking, the monk looked up at the night outside the window, as if he could see the future. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
