On the same day, after Nobunaga met with Kobe Gumori, he immediately ordered someone to bring his third son, Sanchimaru, and passed it on to Kobe Gumori as his adopted son.

And the original Wishing Temple controlled three of the four counties,Gave the Kobe family,And Kobe Gumori also gave him the governor of the family on the day he saw Sanchimaru.,And he himself did not live in seclusion.,But as the elder of the Kobe family.,Assist the governor.。 Since then, Kita-Ise has become the rear of the Oda family.

Now that the Northern Ise had been fully taken into his hands, and time was pressing, Nobunaga led the army to stay in Kobe Castle for only one day, and then moved south, aiming at Yasunano Castle, which was closest to Kobe Castle.

And long before Nobunaga's departure, the Kitabatake family had already received the news, at the beginning, the Kitabatake family thought that Oda Nobunaga was going to fight Ise, and it would be like the original, just to annihilate the temple, so they didn't pay too much attention to it, although they were prepared, but it was not sufficient, but they only mobilized a part of the ashigaru to strengthen the defense of several castles on the border, and as for the other castles, they still sang and danced to the original.

At the same time that Oda Nobunaga accepted Kobe Gumori and led his army to Kobe Castle, Hosono Fujimitsu, the lord of Yasuno Castle, was not in his castle at the moment, and when he received information that Nobunaga did not return to the army after annihilating the power of the temple, but intended to capture Minami Ise, he couldn't help but be surprised, if the Oda army really came to attack, then Anzuno Castle was at the forefront.

Although Hosono Fujimitsu strengthened the territorial defense after receiving the order of Kitabatake, however, with only more than 20,000 stone lands under his own rule, he could only mobilize up to 800 ashigaru at most, and resist tens of thousands of people with 800 ashigaru, although the war did not start, but the result was indeed not difficult to predict, so he hurriedly sent his retainers to Tayun Mountain Castle to report the matter to Kitabatake, and at the same time recruited his retainers urgently to discuss countermeasures.

But soon, Hosono Fujimitsu was completely disappointed, and in the face of absolute strength, what could the retainers do, which was nothing more than to take advantage of the fact that the Oda army had not yet been killed, and immediately ask for a wish from the Kitabatake family, or move the city to the Oda family. Because Oda Nobunaga's reputation is not very good, Hosono Fujiko is still a little hesitant about joining the Oda family.

Just when he was feeling anxious, he suddenly thought, since he can't make up his mind, and don't ask others? Let's see what the others are thinking when they face the Oda Army.

Thinking of this, Hosono Fujimitsu immediately thought of his friend, Seki Morinobu, the lord of Ise Kameyama Castle, this person's intelligence is second to none in the country of Ise, although it is a wealthy family, but even Kitabatake Gujiao is willing to listen to his advice when he is in trouble, and he is not much better off than his own situation now, if his own Azuno Castle is breached, then the next target of the Oda family is his Ise Kameyama Castle, with his mind, how can he not plan in advance, and he will go to ask for advice now, You will definitely find a way to preserve your family's name.

Thinking of this, Hosono Fujiko dared to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly announced the dissolution of the meeting, taking only two cronies and more than a dozen flags, riding his horse and galloping, and went straight to Ise Kameyama Castle.

As soon as Hosono Fuji Mitsu came to Ise Kameyama Castle, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and Guan Shengxin led more than ten flags to go out of the city. ”

When Guan Shengxin saw Hosono Fujimitsu, he couldn't help but be stunned at first, and then immediately thought that he must have come this time to attack the Oda family, and how should he respond after a while?

This time I went out, but I was going to surrender to the Oda family, who knows when the Oda army will call, this matter can not be delayed, so as not to miss the opportunity, it seems that it is better to send it away as soon as possible, so as not to delay the big event. …,

Although he didn't want to talk to Hosono Fujimitsu in his heart, his face didn't show any displeasure. I only heard him smile and said, "Lord Hosono is really too polite, please follow me into the city for a while." ”

Hosono Fujimitsu was no longer polite, and hurriedly followed Guan Shengxin into the city.

In the castle tower of Ise Kameyama Castle, as soon as the two of them sat down, they hurriedly spoke: "Lord Seki, I received news that Oda Nobunaga did not mean to return to the army after capturing the four counties of North Ise and annihilating the temple, but wanted to annihilate the Kitabatake family together, so as to control the entire territory of Ise, and Anzuno Castle under the rule of Xia was the first to bear the brunt, but the adults also knew that the army that could be mobilized under Xia was only eight hundred at most, even if there was a strong city to defend, how could it stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Oda family.

Although after receiving this news, he immediately ordered his retainers to go to Taruyama Castle to ask for help from the lord, but although the Kitabatake family was able to mobilize more than 10,000 ashigaru in an emergency, the Oda army was the elite of the elite, and most of the troops of the Kitabatake family were only peasant soldiers, even if the number was equal, it was difficult to escape the fate of defeat.

And Guan has always been resourceful, and he came here to ask the adults for advice on survival strategies, and if the adults are willing to help him get through the difficulties, he will take out 500 stone of land as a thank you gift, and ask the adults to give advice. ”

The reason why Guan Shengxin made up his mind to return to the Oda family was not because he didn't have any way, with the current situation, if he wanted to keep his family's name, there was no way at all except to return to Shun immediately.

As early as the first time Nobunaga sent his army to attack the North Ise Wishing Temple, Seki Mori Nobu already had the intention of surrendering, so he did not lead the army to join the Hao clan company army to fight against the Oda family.

And it is precisely because of this that he has the confidence to continue to hold his current territory after returning to Oda. If you talk about it, this Hosono Fujiko has a very good relationship with himself, and if he is not persuaded to return to the Oda family, anyway, he has not participated in the Oda Coalition, Oda Nobunaga probably will not refuse.

However, between the lines, Hosono Fujimitsu did not mention the matter of submission at all, and it seemed that it was better to probe his tone first to see what he thought.

Thinking of this, I only heard Guan Shengxin ask: "Lord Hosono, the Oda army is powerful, and it is only a matter of time before you want to unify Ise, and the place under the rule of the adult is the closest to the Oda army, I don't know how the adult plans it." ”

At such a critical moment, Hosono Fujiko could only tell the truth, only to hear him sigh first, and then then said: "It's not a secret, it's not that I haven't thought about returning to the Oda family, but Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards the Northern Ise family, and hesitation in the next, in case after returning to Shun, Oda Nobunaga casually finds an interface and deprives me of the name of the Hosono family, then the family can only be slaughtered by him, but in terms of the current situation, if you resist, even if you have the help of the Kitabatake family's army, it is impossible to defeat the Oda army, If you don't surrender and there is no way out, so you will come to Ise Kameyama Castle in the next place, and ask the adults to help you get an idea. ”

After listening to Guan Shengxin, he couldn't help but relax his vigilance, it turned out that this Hosono Fujiko didn't want to return to the Oda family, so it would be much easier to do, in Guan Shengxin's opinion, this is not a problem at all, even if Oda Nobunaga's goal of going south is not to say, he knows that the road is the Kitabatake family, and he is just a small wealthy family, and there is nothing to offend before, how can Oda Nobunaga care about such a small person as himself, so after surrendering to the Oda family, this reward does not dare to say, but if you want to protect the existing territory, it is still not a problem.

After returning to the Oda family, as long as he continues to be as small as before, I am afraid that it will not be long before Nobunaga forgets all about himself, and then he will be as happy as before. …,

Thinking of this, Guan Shengxin no longer intended to deceive him, and said directly: "My lord doesn't know, I have decided to move the city to the Oda family, and just now I was going to the north to see Oda Nobunaga, explaining the meaning of the family's obedience, I'm afraid that only in this way can the name of the lord be protected, this is the foolish opinion of the next, if the adults are also willing to submit, then it is better for the two of us to go together, so that maybe you can get some rewards, if not, then only please return to the territory to prepare for the war, waiting for the burial of the Kitabatake family." ”

I heard Hosono Fujiko hurriedly say: "Lord Guan, it's not that I don't want to go to the Oda family, it's just... In case ......"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Shengxin didn't want to listen to his ramblings, now his time is very precious, if he waits for the Oda army to come over and go to Shun, it will be much worse than the effect of the current submission, if he leaves a shadow in Nobunaga's heart, he will be obedient because of fear, he will definitely be wary of himself in the future, so that some gains are lost.

After returning to the Oda family, he still wants to do something, how can he be delayed because he is solving the doubts of others.

I only heard Guan Shengxin say with some annoyance: "May I ask Lord Hosono, before that, there is a place where the Lord has offended the Oda family." ”

Hosono Fujimitsu thought about it carefully, last time, he wanted to join the Hao clan coalition army and save the Wish Temple, and the army had already been mobilized, but when he found out that the resourceful Guan Shengxin did not intend to participate in this matter, he dragged it down, and soon disbanded the military force, and even Anzuno Castle did not come out, this should not be regarded as offending the Oda family, and in addition, he has not even seen the people of the Oda family, so how can he talk about offending? Thinking of this, I saw Hosono Fujiko quickly shook his head.

Seeing this, Guan Shengxin couldn't help but ask again: "Since the adult has not offended the Oda family at all, then the adult has thought of some other way to keep the family's name." ”

After listening to this, Hosono Fujimitsu said in his heart, if he had other methods, how could he come all the way to this Ise Kameyama Castle to seek advice at this critical moment, isn't this knowingly asked.

I saw Hosono Fujimitsu shook his head again, and said, "Whether the family can keep the name of the family depends on Lord Guan." ”
