Chapter 578: Rigid Mind

"Excellent! My father caged the castle twice, Uesugi and Takeda attacked one after another, and they all returned, and I decided to regain the glory of the past with the fortified castle! Defend the city! "The Hojo clan waved his heroic hand, full of confidence.

"Yes! The Lord is wise! All the retainers saluted in unison and sang praises of virtue.

"Hahaha!" The Hojo clan laughed happily, and after deciding on the policy of defending the castle, he removed all the remaining castles except those on the defense base, concentrated his combat forces on Odawara, and collected enough food to supply the 56,000-strong army defending the castle.

The Hojo clan was in a very depressed mood below, and what decided to defend the city was clearly surrounded by the Hosokawa army, and there was only this one way left.

"Excellent! Right now! I command! Tsuchida Ashiro Town Guards the Mouth of the Mountain King! The Hojo clan laughed enough, and began to arrange the troops in a serious manner.

"It's the lord!" Asakhiro Tsuchida was a subordinate general of the Hojo family.

"Shizhao guards Zhupukou!" These openings are actually the names of the city defense gates.

"It's the lord!" The Hojo clan is the younger brother of the clan, and the Takeuraguchi area is close to Sagami Bay, which can be seen to be a very important location.

"Naito Toyokei Town Guards Well Hosodaguchi, Ota Clan House Town Guards Tsukuwaguchi..."Each of the Hojo clan's political generals Sannomaru has arranged his own retainers who think are the best. Ninomaru is also guarded by important ministers like Kenhide Matsuda, and he himself only needs to stay in the Honmaru castle tower and eat, drink and have fun.

"All right, everyone! Be prepared to stick to it for months! We repelled the Uesugi family, repelled the Takeda family, and this time we can also repel his Hosokawa family! "The Hojo clan did not have the consciousness of soldiers coming to the castle at all, and he actually compared Hosokawa Nobumoto, who owned half of the world, with Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen, who could mobilize at most 20,000 or 30,000 people, which showed how rigid his head was.

"Hmm... What's for dinner tonight? This is the true portrayal of Hojo Masa now.

At this time, Hosokawa Nobumoto was eating game barbecue, which was a pheasant and rabbit that had just been hunted by his subordinates.

This is Mt. Ishihuan, four kilometers west of Odawara Castle, where the Hosokawa army was located. Now the Hosokawa army has gathered more than 70,000 land and water troops, although the number is about the same as the Hojo defenders, but the Hosokawa army is a battle-hardened standing formation!

"Ieyasu... Why don't you have some barbecue? It's fragrant. Hosokawa Nobumoto teased Tokugawa Ieyasu, looking at the other party's docile expression, not to mention how comfortable he was, although he knew that this was the other party's pretense.

"My lord, my subordinates don't dare." Tokugawa Ieyasu saluted respectfully, but his heart was itching with hatred. This time in the Suruga country strategy, Hosokawa Nobumoto actually appointed Matsudaira Nobuyasu as the main general, doesn't this mean that the credit is all due to this rebel!

"Ahh Hosokawa Nobugen ignored him, eating Ma Ma Xiang, he is now going to gradually empty this careerist, I can't wait to disgust him again, let him jump out quickly, and then beat him again and empty him.

Smart Pill stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu curiously on the side, and had always heard his father say that this old turtle with great power and forbearance was a time bomb, but looking at his face, he was really very humble and kind.

"Smart Maru... It's almost in place, right? Hosokawa Nobumoto wiped his big mouth with his hand, and then wiped it on his armor.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was serving on the side, raised his eyebrows frequently, because the armor that Hosokawa Nobugen used to wipe his hands was the "Golden Statue Beauty" that was taken from him in the battle to recover Chita County!

"Ahem! Bah! Oops, the meat is stuffed between the teeth. Phew! Hosokawa Nobumoto felt uncomfortable in his mouth, exaggeratedly picked it with his tongue, and quenched it a few more times.

"Damn! That's expensive! Tokugawa Ieyasu's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he felt very distressed, as if he could feel Hosokawa Nobumoto's spittle star, sprayed on it, and it was a gold leaf patch, a luxurious set of armor.

"Huh? What's wrong with Ieyasu? Why did you blush all of a sudden? Hosokawa Nobumoto glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Uh... It's hot, it's hot. Tokugawa Ieyasu realized that he had lost his temper, and his face suddenly turned blue with shock.

"Then why is it green again?" The corners of Hosokawa Nobumoto's mouth rose slightly, and it would be good if he could directly anger the old turtle to death.

"It's... Be... Your Majesty's stomach is upset, oops... "Tokugawa Ieyasu still clutched his stomach and pretended to scream twice.

"Well... Then you go and pull it... Come! Ieyasu is wearing heavy armor, it's inconvenient, you go and help him take off his pants! Hosokawa Nobumoto casually summoned a man to the side and commanded.

"Huh? Take off Tokugawa-sama's pants? Yamana Yaoxi was stunned, he was on an errand today, and he didn't expect to encounter such a.

"What! You don't want to! Dare to disobey orders! Hosokawa Nobumoto raised his eyebrows, and his tone was very dissatisfied.

"No, no, no, the subordinates don't dare, the subordinates are willing to give... Tokugawa-sama... Take off your pants..."Yamana Yaoxi didn't dare to make a sound, but the boss was reluctant in his heart, how could he be regarded as a famous nobleman, and he went to take off his pants for a country turtle...

In that year, his father, Yamana Yutoyo, was defeated and surrendered, and his family leaders Inaba and Tajima were all confiscated, and Yutoyo was changed, and he himself only retained his status as a samurai and served as Hosokawa Nobumoto's side.

"No, no, no, you don't have to trouble Yamana-sama, your subordinates can come by themselves." Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his hand again and again, not for the sake of Yamana Yaoxi, but because this matter was too ...

"Ieyasu, don't shirk it anymore, stomach upset is a big deal, go quickly, it's not good for your body to suffocate. You have to serve well, you know! When you come back, I will allow you to enter the Imperial Palace, and eat two thousand stones. Hosokawa Nobumoto said in an unquestioning tone.

"Huh? Be! Subordinates receive orders! My subordinates will definitely serve Tokugawa-sama well when he goes to the toilet! Yamana Yaoxi was very excited, he could also enter the Imperial Family, which was equivalent to a golden rice bowl.

The Goga, Hosokawa Nobumoto's newest position, is an advisor who can advise the sovereign on political and military matters, as well as convey stories of martial arts and movements of various kingdoms, and is in charge of chatting. Usually they were held by monks, important ministers who had retired from the front line and lived in seclusion, declining daimyos, and monk-shaped military generals.

The pen of the Hosokawa family is Amami (Akechi Mitsuhide), and the others also have the Imagawa clan who ran to Hosokawa Nobugen to play football; has been in seclusion, until the death of Oda Nobunaga, did he dare to come to his nephew Hosokawa Nobumoto's Rokkaku Yoshiken; It was accompanied by Rokkaku Yoshiji; Oda Nobunaga's eleventh brother: Oda Nagayi, who is also the head of tea in charge of tea culture; These people are all samurai.

In addition, there are also some townspeople, such as tea masters such as Tsuda Muneki, Imai Munehisa, and Sen no Rikyu, who are the "three great craftsmen of the world", and scholars and writers such as Yuki Omura who wrote marching notes for Hosokawa Nobumoto.

At this time, Yuki Omura on the side had already begun to write the content, and the full title of the book was "Tensho Ji", because it was now the 7th year of Tensho. It is mainly a record of Hosokawa Nobumoto's military records during the march, which was later also known as the "Shogun Honki".

Yuki Omura has completed seven volumes of this book, including the "Records of the Retirement of the Father", which mainly describes the decisive battle with Akechi Mitsuhide's Kyoto after the Honnoji Incident; "Harima Bessho Chronicle", which describes the battle with Miki of Bessho's family; "The Retirement of Yuchai" describes the events before and after the decisive battle of Sekigahara.

There are also records of conquests such as "Kishu Raid", "Tanba Hatano", "Shikoku Expedition", and even Hosokawa gold and silver distribution and commercial banks such as "The Chronicle of the Golden Endowment".

Now he is writing the eighth volume: "Odawara Imperial Array", and I see that the content of his pen is:

Yagata Hall questioned Tokugawa Mikawa Mori's red and green face, and Tokugawa Mikawa was trembling, and the came out...
