The Battle of Sister River, although the middle link is not quite the same as in history, but the ending is okay, Hosokawa Nobumoto sat on the maza and listened to Oda Nobunaga's orders.

The army had been resting here for two days, and Oda Nobunaga was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely destroy the Asai army, and now the Tokugawa army was gone, leaving only more than 20,000 people of the Oda army.

"Newspaper... The Awa Miyoshi family landed in Settsu Province and is building a fortress in the Nakajima, Noda, and Fukushima areas. "In the middle of the military discussion, a samurai hurried in to give a message.

"What! Awa Miyoshi's house landed in Settsu? Damn it! What is Nobukit George doing! Didn't he let his sailors block Osaka Bay! "Oda Nobunaga was furious, there was still a fierce battle here, and the backyard was on fire again.

"That's right, Lady George was killed."

"What! Death to Lord George! What's going on! Hosokawa Nobumoto was extremely surprised, but he didn't expect that Nobukata Geji would also die several years early.

"It's the original Shimowazumi guardian Daimatura Hizen Mamo, who united the Shimowazumi clan Terada family and raided Kishiwada Castle, and Lord Saji has been loyal, and the Saji Navy has no leader and has retreated to Ise Bay."

"What about Katsumasa Ikeda, Itami Jinxing, and Yumasa Wada in Settsu! What are they eating! Just watched Awa Sanhao's house build! This is the "Three Guardians of Settsu" that Oda Nobunaga vigorously supported in order to stabilize Settsu Province.

"The Ikeda family's Araki Murashige teamed up with Ikeda Tomomasa and others to banish the head of the family, Katsumasa-sama Ikeda, and joined the Awa Miyoshi family to besiege Itami Castle with Nobuyasu Ataka."

"What about the others! It's hard to say that the CD is reversed! Oda Nobunaga was already furious, and the bad news came one after another.

"Tayama Akitaka of Kii Province and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi of Kawachi Province sent troops to defend Furubashi Castle, but they were still captured by Miyoshi Yasunaga and Miyoshi Masayasu. Tsutsui Shunkei of Yamato Province also echoed the Awa Miyoshi family and sent troops to attack the Ten City Castle, and Matsunaga Hide-sama therefore garrisoned Shinkiyama Castle. ”

"Lord Hosokawa Fujitaka of Yamashiro Province, Lord Akechi Mitsuhide of Kyoto, and Lord Omi Guardian Hosokawa Fujiken have led an army to rescue Itami Castle. That's all we know so far. ”

"Well, got it, let's go down!" Knowing the general situation of the battle, Oda Nobunaga closed his eyes and thought about the pros and cons of the next gains and losses.

"Command!" Suddenly, Oda Nobunaga opened his eyes, and the murderous intent in his eyes was raging.

"The whole army will turn to Settsu Province and destroy the Awa Miyoshi family first! Kinoshita Hideyoshi stayed behind Yokoyama Castle, and Niwa Nagahide stayed behind Kannonji Mountain Castle to guard against the route of the Asai and Asakura families heading south from the east side of Lake Biwa. ”

"Yes!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Niwa Nagahide were ordered to garrison a total of 3,500 troops, not only to guard against the enemy's southward advance, but also to separate Isono Hitamasa in Sawa Yamajo from the north and south of Otani Castle.

"Mori Kosei stayed behind Usayama Castle, and Sakai Masasho stayed behind in Otsu to guard against the route of the Asai and Asakura families heading south from the west side of Lake Biwa."

"Yes!" Mori Kecheng and Sakai Masamasa came out to receive the order, and the garrison strength was about 3,500 people.

"Rokuro, you leave the standing reserve behind and guard Sekigahara Castle in case Asai and Asakura surprise attack on the belly of the family's territory."

"Yes! But my lord, if this continues, the strength of my family will be greatly reduced, and according to His Majesty's speculation, the total strength of the Apo Miyoshi family may be more than 10,000 people. Hosokawa Nobumoto is very worried now, and if the garrison continues to be divided in this way, the total strength of Oda's army will only be more than 10,000 people.

Originally, there were reinforcements from the Tokugawa family in history, but now not only are they gone, but they have also added to the rebellion of Izumi Province. And soon, the behemoth of Honganji will also attack the Oda family, and by that time, the 10,000 people of the Oda army will face an army several times their size.

"Hmm... In this case, Rokuro, you will return to Devon City at once, and lead the navy to join the battle, and I will also put the George navy under your command. In addition, you go to Kii Province, hire the Saga people to participate in the battle, take the shore Wada Castle first, and then come to join the army. Since Nobukata Sajikata's concubine was just one year old, he couldn't subdue the water army at all, so Oda Nobunaga simply directly allocated all the Saji water army to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Yes! Please rest assured that your subordinates will quickly take the shore of Wada Castle, and then join up with the army to crusade against the Awa Miyoshi family. ”

Hosokawa Nobumoto immediately set off after receiving the order, first to Devon Castle to transfer the navy, and then to Ohno Castle to take over the 2,000 Saji navy, with a total of 4,500 sailors, more than 200 large and small ships, and sailed straight to Kumano Beach.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"What! Awa Miyoshi just hired Saga a while ago! "As soon as he came to Sagaso, Nobumoto Hosokawa received the news he didn't want to hear.

"Yes, Ukyo-sama. I wonder if the adults are here to hire the Sakaga people? "The Chinese samurai who spoke was called Suzuki Shigetoki, and he was a cousin of the Suzuki family, and Suzuki Shigeyi, the head of the Suzuki clan, was a cousin, and he was the uncle of Suzuki Shigekan and Shigehide.

"Yes, it's a pity that he came one step late, hey..."Hosokawa Nobumoto came with hope, but it turned out to be a step late, and now he was worried about how to use the only 4,000 sailors in his hand to attack the city.

"Look here! Look here! Suzuki Shigetoki suddenly pointed to his nose excitedly: "Ukyo-sama can hire this family!" ”

"Huh? You? Aren't you from the Suzuki family? If you are hired, will you not be your own family and your own family? Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't turn his head, thinking that this group of guys should not be crazy about money.

"Humph! Don't mention that guy from Zot's wife, I'm not the same person with him! Listening to Suzuki Shigetoki's tone, he also despised his cousin Suzuki Shigei.

"Why is that?" In Hosokawa Nobumoto's impression, he has always been a brother in battle, a father and son soldier.

"That guy has changed since he believed in the Yiyi Sect, and he said that everyone in the world should believe in his Yi Yi Zong, and even the fertile farmland of my family will be occupied. Phew! So, Suzuki Shigetoki began to babble and whine.

Originally, Kii Saga had five districts: Tono-go, Saga-so, Nakago, Miyako, and Nango, and it was called the Saga Go-gumi.

The Nakamiya Township, Nakago Township, and Nango of the Five Groups of Saga are located relatively inland, and the agricultural income from the fertile farmland is the main financial income, and the proximity to the Neraiji Temple and the frequent exchanges with the Neraiji people are also very frequent, so they all believe in the Shingon sect "Neraiji".

Sagaso and Tonosato are close to the coast, and there are 200 warships of the navy alone, which are a hegemon in the Setan Strait, and are known as "pirate disciples", and take fishing and commercial transactions with Satsuma as their main financial income.

However, in recent years, under the influence of Honganji, most of them have converted to the Shinshu of Shodo (Ichijo sect), and this Suzuki Shigetoki has not yet converted to Buddhism, and is now considering moving his family to Miyago.

In fact, if it is only freedom of religious belief, there is nothing to blame, and the main flashpoint of contradiction is still a question of interests.
