"Lord!" Maeda Toshiya knelt down on one knee "My subordinates are willing to take the lead, break through Iwakura Castle, and cut off the head of Oda Nobuyo!" ”

"My subordinates are willing to go!" "So are your subordinates!" The mother-robes petitioned, [a group of simple-minded people with well-developed limbs.] Seeing this scene, Hosokawa Nobugen secretly thought that his flanks would not make such a meaningless petition, no way, who let Oda Nobunaga set up the flanks at that time, they were all selected from the machizan who were more muscular than their heads.

"Rokuro, what do you think?" Oda Nobunaga turned his head and asked Hosokawa Nobumoto gently.

"My lord! Your Majesty thought of a few points and said them for everyone's reference. "In public, the two still use formal titles for each other.

"Oh? Let's hear it. Oda Nobunaga expected Hosokawa Nobunaga to have an idea, but he didn't expect that there would be several ideas, and motioned for him to continue.

"First of all, I would like to ask Takigawa-sama, is there a plan in Iwakura Castle?" Hosokawa Nobumoto asked Takigawa Kazuyi, he is Takigawa's own uncle, and the circle of samurai is really small, and he can basically get involved with him.

"Uh~~ No, my lord! It's all the incompetence of the subordinates! Takigawa Kazuyi's face turned red, and then as if he thought of something, he hurriedly asked Oda Nobunaga to excuse himself, Oda Nobunaga waved his hand without saying a word, and looked at Hosokawa Nobuyuan.

"Since there is no internal response, there is only a strong attack." Speaking of this, Shibata Katsuya and others have already begun to be eager to try. "But now that we have no advantage in the comparison of forces."

"But the Iwakura Oda family has just been defeated, and the morale must be very low, and it is the time for our army to be in full swing!" Shibata Katsuya rudely interrupted Hosokawa Nobumoto's speech, causing Hosokawa Nobumoto to frown, and his heart was unhappy.

No way, in this period, the hierarchy system is very strict, basically the level higher than the first order can be insulted and innocence, higher than the second order can be beaten and innocence, and higher than the third order can directly behead the innocence.

If it weren't for the fact that Hosokawa Nobumoto's family was high enough and the face of Oda Nobunaga's sister-in-law, it is estimated that ordinary people would have sneered at least and reprimanded at worst.

"Having said that, the strength of the family will also be compromised, so why not exchange the minimum sacrifice for the greatest benefit." Hosokawa Nobugen also retorted without showing weakness, [Others are afraid of you Shibata Katsuya, I'm not afraid of you, even Oda Nobunaga I dare to fight, not to mention you, if you don't suppress you now, you will kick your nose even more in the future.] ]

"Minimum sacrifice for maximum benefit?" Oda Nobunaga muttered to himself, savoring Hosokawa Nobumoto's new term again. "Haha! Good! Smart Pill! Oh no, Rokuro, tell me what you think. ”

"It's the lord." Looking at Oda Nobunaga, who was a little carried away, Hosokawa Nobugen was speechless for a while, what a big deal. "Since the losses of the assault are large, then besiege or."

"Humph! Who doesn't know this! Shibata Katsuya sneered again.

Rao is Hosokawa Nobumoto's temper is good, he can't stand this, he stood up as soon as he took it, and before he could make the next move, he heard Oda Nobunaga burst out: "Shut up!" Then he motioned for Hosokawa Nobumoto to sit down and continued.

"If the siege is too long, it will be an empty waste of money and food for the family, so it is better to lure the enemy out." Hosokawa Nobumoto paused for a moment and then said: "I think so, since the enemy has decided to hold out, our army might as well plunder, if the enemy can't stand the challenge and go out of the city to fight, it is exactly what I want." If it still does not hold out, our army will also reap a lot of harvest, and even the autumn grain of his Iwakura Oda family will be harvested, so that the grain that he has worked hard to grow throughout the year will not be harvested, and it will definitely deal a great blow to the authority of Oda Nobuken. When the spring flowers bloom and sow seeds in the next year, our army will besiege Iwakura Castle again, and then we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. In this way, we can not only save our army's manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also strike at the enemy to the greatest extent. ”

"Hahaha! Good! That's it! Rokuro led the iron artillery team of Ashigaru and Ichiyi to defend and counterattack, and Gonroku led the horse team and the wealthy family of the family to clean up the power of the Iwakura Oda family. Yonegoro led the headquarters to requisition half of the autumn harvest grain as military rations. Oda Nobunaga began to assign tasks, and the person who got the order fell on one knee.

After more than half a month of scorched earth fighting, the castle town of Iwakura Castle was looted, and the streets were covered with rags, crumbling wooden houses, and the faint sound of crying came from the house.

The grain that should have been handed over to the Iwakura Oda family was also looted, and the local wealthy families in Iwakura Castle saw that the food they had worked hard for a year changed hands and went into Oda Nobunaga's pockets, and they all strongly expressed their desire to go out of the city to meet the battle. I don't know if Oda Nobuken was scared or ate the scales, and he was determined not to go out of the city to fight, so he killed a few small wealthy people who disrespected orders. Such a strong suppression made the atmosphere in the city increasingly depressing, which seriously affected the authority of Oda Nobuyogen, and once the suppression was withdrawn, it would definitely cause a strong backlash from the retainers.

Soon, Oda Nobunaga withdrew his army, although he did not capture Iwakura Castle, but the wealthy family of his family and his parents benefited and gained a lot, while the Iwakura Oda family was in a slump and could not slow down for three or five years.

Returning to Kiyoshu Castle, Oda Nobunaga held a battle assessment: a work was actually given to Oda Nobukiyo, and someone sent a letter of relief and a land grant of 5,000 koku. Of course, it is not certain whether Oda Nobukiyo will be grateful or not.

A shot was given to Maeda Toshiya and Hidetaka Kawajiri, who won a lot of money, and was promoted to the general of Ashigaru, which can be regarded as the identity of the black and red mother clothes.

And even Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was playing soy sauce in the audience, was also taken care of by Oda Nobunaga, and was awarded the title of Mikawa Village 600 Zhixing, which is more powerful, because there is no merit bonus for the suggestion, but Hosokawa Nobumoto will slowly change this bad habit.

After the meeting, the Hosokawa family hurried to admire their fiefdom Mikawa Village. Mikawa Village is located in the northwestern part of Aichi Prefecture, at the confluence of the Mizuba River, Shonai River, and Fukuda River, so it is called Mikawa Village. Although it is easy to flood during rainy periods, it is a rare Ueda because of this, and the village is relatively intact, belonging to a large village of more than 400 people, and the proportion of strong men is also superior to other villages, so it can be seen that Oda Nobunaga chose a good fief for Hosokawa Nobumoto.

Stepping on this vibrant land, Hosokawa Nobumoto was very excited, looked at the retainers behind him, and released his ambition: "This will be our own land in the future, but I think we will not stop here, this is just the starting place for us to fish into the Sichuan River, in the future we will have ten, hundred, or even a thousand times the land, please follow me Xinyuan to open up the future!" ”

"Oh! The ministers are determined to be loyal to the Hosokawa family, and I wish the family prosperity and prosperity! The retainers of the Hosokawa family saluted one after another.
