"I've seen Hosokawa Ukyo-sama in the next!" Ishitani Yoshichen walked over and saluted Hosokawa Nobumoto first.

"Ishiya-sama is polite." Hosokawa Nobumoto turned over and dismounted, giving him a salute in return.

This Ishitani Yoshijin himself has no great skills, and is just a member of the public outside the shogunate. However, his sister married the head of Chosamune's department, and the head of the family received the word "yuan" from Hosokawa Harumoto, who was still the head of the shogunate at the time, and thus received the position of guardian of Tosa Province.

At the end of last year, the Oda family forced peace with the Awa Miyoshi family through an alliance with the Chosamune Ibu family, and it was through this person that they used as an intermediary.

It can be said that Ishitani Yorichen is the bridge between the Oda family and the Chosamune family, but he can't be as arrogant as he is with Nikaido Takahide.

"I wonder why Ishiya-sama came here?" Hosokawa Nobumoto asked politely, maybe he can still use this person in the future.

"That's right, I'm here to deliver the edict of the Imperial Palace, and Araki-sama of Akutagawa Yamajo has already joined the shogunate. The Princess's Hall orders you to immediately suspend the crusade and return to your respective stations. As he spoke, Ishiya Yoshichen took out the edict and handed it to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"What! Araki Murashige is already a shogun? When was this the thing! Hosokawa Nobumoto was shocked, he didn't receive any news at all.

"It was yesterday." Ishiya Yoshichen replied with a bow.

It turns out that this Araki Murashige was not only born with a backbone in the back of his head, but also as cunning as a fox. When he learned that Ikeda Castle would fall one day and that the Hosokawa coalition was strong, he knew that he would definitely not be able to defend it.

Later, as soon as his eyes rolled, he came up with the idea of surrendering to General Yoshiaki, and immediately sent someone to surrender to General Yoshiaki. Thanks to the speed of his brain, if he was a day late, he would probably end up the same as Ikeda Chimasa.

"Lord, Lord Shigu must be tired after a long journey, so let your subordinates take Lord Shigu down to rest first." Honda Masanobu gave Sanada Masayuki a look, and the latter understood that he would relieve Hosokawa Nobumoto first.

"But this army—" Ishiya Yorichen hesitated, he hadn't yet received an answer from Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Lord Ishitani, don't worry, my lord will not disobey General Yoshiaki's orders, please." Honda Masanobu first accepted it for Hosokawa Nobumoto, which was actually a delaying tactic.

"Okay, let's go have a meal first, I've been traveling all the way, I've missed a meal, and I'm really hungry. However, I also hope that Lord Hosokawa will arrange the withdrawal of the army as soon as possible, and go back as soon as possible to reply to the Gongfang Palace. "Ishiya Laichen had no choice, so he had to go down first and wait for news.

"What to do? It's just this step, and it's a little unwilling for me to give up. Hosokawa Nobumoto looked left and right, they were all wealthy families who were close to the Hosokawa family, so they didn't shy away from it.

"It's difficult, Lord Ishitani is no better than Nikaido Takahide, if you force it, Rokuro you have to be ready to break with the Nagazong family, so..."Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head, the time for them to think about it now is too short.

Just as they were frowning, suddenly a samurai hurried over, it was Hattori Masaaki.

"My lord! There is an order from the main hall for you to immediately lead the coalition forces to Mt. Hiei and participate in the crusade against Enryakuji Temple. ”

"What! So suddenly? Nagashima has always been solved? Hosokawa Nobumoto asked suspiciously, his fingers tapping lightly unconsciously.

"No... No..."Hattori Masaaki began to stutter, his eyes unconsciously looking at the others.

"Look at it! Something to say! Don't spit it out! Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, he didn't want others to mistake him for a little secret.

"Yes! The First Battle of Long Island, the main hall... The main hall was defeated, and Lord Shibata Katsuya and Mamoru Ando were seriously wounded, and Lord Bu Quan of the clan was killed in battle. ”

"What! How so! "The people around were very shocked, they did not expect the standing army to lose to a group of peasants.

"That's right, the main hall sent troops to Long Island, which was originally very smooth, and it also won a lot of troops and achieved some small victories. However, I didn't expect that many small wealthy clans in Ise Province also joined the Ise, and the main hall temporarily withdrew its troops in order to avoid being surrounded. As a result, when retreating, he used the terrain to launch a surprise attack on the Oda army with bows and iron cannons in the narrow passage between the mountains and the river, which led to a great chaos in the Oda army, so that's why..."

"Then why hasn't the lord rested? What about an attack on Mt. Biei instead? Hosokawa Nobumoto said that he didn't understand, and if it was him, he would choose to fight again after resting.

"Danzheng-sama probably wants to use a big victory to eliminate the impact on him, right?" Matsunaga thought for a moment and came to this conclusion.

"That's right, let's take the opportunity to withdraw our troops and rush to Mt. Hiei." Akechi Mitsuhide felt that this was an opportunity, which not only gave General Yoshiaki face, but also did not affect the morale of the army.

"Command! In accordance with the military orders of the lord, the whole army was transferred to Kyoto, and the army was sent to Mt. Hiei! Hosokawa Nobumoto immediately made a decision and led 13,000 allied troops to begin a rapid march.

When passing by Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Araki Murashige broke out in a cold sweat, and then went to the Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto to meet with General Yoshiaki.

"What! How mad is the Ikeda family? Dare to tear up Yu's edict! Assassinate Yu's retainers! Ashikaga Yoshiaki trembled with anger, and Oda Nobunaga could only put up with his rudeness for the time being, and now even a small wealthy family doesn't take him seriously.

"Uh... Precisely! Thanks to Hosokawa Ukyo-sama who came to the rescue, otherwise... Otherwise, I'm afraid your subordinates will..."Under the threat of Hosokawa Nobumoto's eyes, Nikaido Takahide deceived Ashikaga Yoshiaki according to the original arranged lies.

"Humph! Do you think that Yu is no longer good? It's really too underestimated, and now the Takeda family of Kai is already interested in surrendering to me. Ashikaga Yoshiaki cheered himself up, and as a result, he said something terrible.

Hosokawa Nobumoto's eyes narrowed and he wrote down this sentence, and Nikaido Takahide originally opened his mouth to remind him, but was glared back viciously by Hosokawa Nobumoto.

After the audience, Hosokawa Nobumoto and Nikaido Takahide also parted, looking at the back of Nikaido Takahide leaving, his eyes were cold.

"This person can't stay, you know what to do, right?" Hosokawa Nobugen seemed to be talking to himself, and no one noticed that in a corner, a beautiful woman bowed to her, and it was the same woman who served Nikaido Takahide.

And Hosokawa Nobumoto himself did not delay for long, and immediately led his army out of Kyoto and went straight to Mt. Hiei in Omi Province.

And that night, there was a small episode in Kyoto, it is said that Nikaido Takahide received a new side room, and as a result, he played all night, and finally ****. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
