In the Ohiroma of Usayama Castle, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and in the center of the hall was a samurai kneeling, trembling and afraid to raise his eyes to look at Oda Nobunaga, who was the only one who escaped back from Inokai Sesada.

Kata's night attack was made, and the Asakura Army's Maemana Keita, Horihira Uemon Captain, and Nakamura Carpenter Cheng were captured, and the Asai Army's Asai Shinshichi, Akao Shisuke, Tanabe Heiuchi, and Yagi Matahachiro were captured.

However, due to the large number of Asai and Asakura troops, they finally won the victory under the command of Asakura Keigami, and Sakai Masasho and his son died in battle with Urano Genhachi father and son, Baba Sunjiro, Juchu Matajiro, and Endo Yintoshi, and the Oda army was almost completely annihilated, and the number of dead was as high as 1,583.

"You're coming back on your own?" Oda Nobunaga's tone was not good, and the killing intent emerged, and Inokai Shengzhen didn't know how to answer at all, and he was already so frightened that he was about to collapse.

"My lord." Hosokawa Nobumoto opened his mouth to summon Oda Nobunaga's attention and shook his head lightly at him.

"Whew... Got it, go down. Oda Nobunaga let out a breath of turbidity, knowing that this was Hosokawa Nobumoto's kind reminder that at such a sensitive moment, he could not kill the personnel of Toucheng.

"Yes!" Pig Feed Shengzhen was relieved and quickly retreated.

"What now? Rokuro, do you mean to negotiate peace? "Oda Nobunaga is starting to have a headache, and things have gone in the worst direction.

"Exactly, it is now the middle of winter, the weather is cold, and heavy snow has begun to fall in some areas, and I believe that it will be a heavy snow closure in the near future. Moreover, Nagashima has always been more and more intense, Takigawa-sama has been trapped in Kuwana Castle, and many small wealthy families in Ise Province have begun to rebel against him. "It's clear that these crises are imminent.

"Alright then, let's make peace for now, Kumquat Head! I'll leave that to you. Oda Nobunaga thought for a moment and decided to use the authority of the imperial court.

"Yes! Your Majesty Commanded! Akechi Mitsuhide was a little embarrassed, he now has a nickname, called "Kumquat Head". It's because of his heroic battle against Nakajima, and he was cut bald with a knife, although this is a compliment, but it is obviously also Oda Nobunaga's bad taste, which makes people want to laugh when they hear it.

He has now officially joined the Oda family, and he is a general, which makes other important ministers unhappy, and they all use the title of "bald" behind their backs to belittle him.

But Akechi Mitsuhide doesn't care, he is also from a famous family, and he still looks down on Owari Turtle. Under his mediation, General Yoshiaki and the imperial court began to intervene and jointly issued a decree demanding that Oda Nobunaga and Asakura Yoshikei agree to peace talks.

On behalf of the imperial court, Sekihaku Nijo Harura personally supervised the truce between the two families, and at the same time, a great war was taking place in Izumo Province.

Knock knock! The taiko drums are ringing in unison, and at the foot of the Izumo Province Fube Mountain, there are two armies facing each other, and it is the Izumo Niko family and the Maori family, the largest force in western Japan, which rules the ten countries.

Mao Liyuan personally sat in charge of the Chinese army, and this time he brought 30,000 troops, vowing to drive the new hairy boy from Izumo to the sea to feed the fish.

Nizi Yuanjiu is also wearing armor, he only has more than 8,000 people, but they are all standing reserves that have been trained for half a year, although they are far from the elite, but the order can still be done.

"Attack!" Kumagai Shinemon, one of the three masters of Niko, was the vanguard and led 2,000 standing guards to attack the Maori army.

"Forward!" Yoshikawa Motoharu led 5,000 troops as the vanguard and fought against the Nizi army.

Cracking sound! The spears slammed into each other, occasionally knocking down one person with a single blow.

"Hold your ground! Flap! Hit hard! "Kumagai Shinemon commanded calmly, and even though there were few people, they were evenly matched.

"The boy of the Nizi family is good, how did Ashigaru train?" Mao Liyuan was very surprised by the bravery of the Nizi army, it has only been ruled for half a year, and the people's hearts support the Nizi family so much?

"Grandpa, this is a standing preparation, and it is said that it is the military law of the Hosokawa family, which is the first of Niko Motohisa. It is a group of ashigaru who are not engaged in production, but specialize in training and fighting. Mori Terumoto stood aside and explained respectfully.

"The Hosokawa family? Standing? Not in production? Looking at their posture, I'm afraid there are 10,000 people standing on it, right? When the Nizi family was first established, did it have so much financial support? After a little thought, Maori Yuan understood the benefits of standing up, but it was difficult for his Maori family to implement it, because they practiced a joint system between large and small wealthy families, and his Maori family was the leader of the alliance.

In fact, this kind of multi-headed collegial system is a kind of regression under the trend of the unification of the ability of the Warring States Period, but there is no way for Maori Yuan, and he will not be able to unify his ability in his lifetime.

So he thought of a way to pass on his two sons and three sons to the wealthy family second only to him, the Kobayakawa and Yoshikawa families, that is, Kobayakawa Takakei and Yoshikawa Motoharu, this is the "two rivers" system.

It is true that the Liangchuan system can quickly complete the control of the vast territory, but it also divides the power of the family into three. So Maori Yuan thought of another way, using the "Three Arrows Training" to teach Liangchuan to defend the main family Maori, that is, to be loyal to their eldest brother Maori Longyuan, and finally let Longyuan's generation complete the unification of the territory.

As a result, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Maori Takayuan died early, and his grandson Maori Huiyuan was too young, and he couldn't suppress his two uncles, and the situation was a little out of control.

So he had to take advantage of the fact that he was still alive to quickly enhance the prestige of Maori Huiyuan, but unfortunately he was seventy-three years old, and his body was not as good as a year.

Now there is a Niko Motohisa in Izumo, who is still a young and promising family governor, and has seriously threatened the future rule of Mori Terumoto, so he must completely wipe out the Niko family.

"Grandpa, I heard that the Hosokawa family, the main family behind the Niko family, often gives financial help, and the Niko family has just captured the Iwami Silver Mountain and intercepted this year's New Year's silver, so..."

"Hey..."Mao Liyuan sighed, his grandson is good, but he lacks a bit of domineering.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Maori Teruyuan, as the third generation of the family governor, he not only has two great uncles, but also a great grandfather, who has borne the sum of the two generations at a young age, which is also his unique sorrow.

"Jiro seems to have grasped the rhythm and ordered Kumagai Nobunao to lead 5,000 men to attack the left flank of the Nizi Army, and Yoshimi Masayori to lead 5,000 men to attack the right flank of the Nizi Army." Maori Yuan ordered calmly.

"Kill!" Kumagai Nobunao led his army from the left flank of the Nizi Army, and Nobunao's father, Kumagai Motonao, was killed by Mori Motoshi in the "Barrel Narrow of the Western Country", and it can be said that he had a grudge against Mori Moto.

But in order to win him over, Maori Motoharu decided to let Yoshikawa Motoharu marry the ugly girl of Nobunao, and since then Kumagai Nobunao has changed to the Maori family, and he has been courteous to the Maori family.

"Quick! Attack it! Yoshimi Masayori also led an army to attack, and he was also one of the eighteen Maori generals.

"Is the second Maori army coming up? Command! Tachihara Hisatsuna led 2,000 men to the left flank to meet the enemy, and Akigami Munenobu led 2,000 men to the right flank to meet the enemy. "Niko Motohisa also sent a second formation to meet the Maori army. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
