Chapter 66: Recovering Zhiduo County (1) < full of 100 recommended and >
In the big tent, the retainers of the Oda family looked curiously at the several samurai who were brought in, some knew and some didn't, but they were obviously all samurai of the Oda family.
"These guys, eating inside and out, secretly communicate with the Imagawa family. Fortunately, under the protection of Atsuta Damingjin, my Oda family returned triumphantly, and today I just took them to return the gift to Damyojin and take them down! Chopped! With that, Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, and the guards ignored their pleas for mercy, dragged them straight out, and pressed them to the ground with a knife.
Hosokawa Nobugen was speechless for a while when he looked at the head of the person he brought in again, he was still singing praises just now, but now the style of painting has changed, and a few headless corpses have been added.
Afterwards, Hosokawa Nobumoto glanced at Zenji Arao and Naokiyo Iio, only to see that their faces were pale and they kept wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Arao Yoshiji, who was secretly collaborating with the enemy, should also be beheaded, but when he learned the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death and the victory of the Oda army. He went to meet with Ikeda Tsuneko overnight and gave him his daughter as a main room, so he was spared, but I am afraid that he will only be marginalized in the future.
And this Iiao Shangqing is very complicated, on the day of the bloody battle of Wastsu, his father Iio Dingzong was killed in battle, but he escaped by himself. Hearing that the Oda army won a big victory, he was tantamount to a deserter, and he didn't dare to come back, so he asked his mother, Hosokawa Nobumoto's sister to intercede, and remembered the scene at that time, Hosokawa Nobumoto also shook his head.
"No! Absolutely not! Sister, don't say that my brother won't help you, I just issued the military law of the Hosokawa family, and one of them is a escapee, behead! Today you came to intercede for a deserter, isn't that a slap in the face? Brother, how will I lead troops to fight in the future? Hosokawa Nobumoto denied pleading on the spot for Iio Naokiyo.
"Woo~~ He's your eldest nephew! It's not your deployment, it's just that you are asked to go to Lord Shangsuke, help him say a few good words, and besides, he did his best, even my husband ~ all ~ woo, woo. Okuda pleaded bitterly.
"That's not going to work either! If I intercede for him, what will the Lord Guild think? 'Oh, if your own subordinates ask to be beheaded before they flee, my subordinates will spare him from death?' What do you mean! What will the Lord Guild think of me then! Hosokawa Nobumoto said nothing.
"What do you think! What to look at you! You are for yourself, not even your loved ones! How could I have such a brother as you! Woo woo woo ~ ~ " Okuda Hall cried heartbreakingly, and Oda dog caressed his back and comforted him.
"Your Highness, you can help my sister, I don't think my brother will blame you." Oda couldn't stand it anymore and began to speak for Iio Naokiyo.
"Shut up! What do men talk and women interject! uh~~~" As soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong.
"Humph! In that case, then we women should not listen to us men. Sister, go! Go back to my room and talk. After saying that, Oda Inu pulled Okuda Hall away, and Hosokawa Nobumoto learned afterwards that the two chattered and discussed, and finally it was Oda Inu who came forward and went to his brother to intercede for Iio Naokiyo.
I don't know if Oda Nobunaga is looking at his sister's face, or Hosokawa Nobumoto's face, anyway, Iiao Naokiyo is fine, but on the contrary, he took over as the head of the Iio family, the lord of Okuda Castle.
"That's it! That's all for today, Rokuro! You lead the cavalry of the headquarters, and I will take the banner of my family and the right to six, and cooperate with you to recover Zhiduo County. The rest of the others will follow me into the Three Rivers and expand the results! "Oda Nobunaga stood up and gave the order to go out of the army. Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life. '
In the battle of Tsukisasa, Oda Nobunaga defeated the Three Kingdoms army of Imagawa Yoshimoto with more than 2,000 people, and beheaded more than 4,000 in total, and won dozens of generals below Imagawa Yoshimoto, and his martial arts reputation was well-known all over the world.
The so-called tree fell and scattered, Oda Nobunaga only led a thousand troops to the east, and the Imagawa army fled. Masatoshi Asai, the sister-in-law of Yoshimoto, the commander of Imagawa Kakata Castle, abandoned the castle, and his 1,500 soldiers were scattered, and he fled back to Suruga. Kondo Keiharu entered the castle from the branch city of Takapo Castle after Asai Masatoshi abandoned the castle, and as a local wealthy family, it was impossible for him to give up his family business and escape. Soon after, the Oda army captured the castle, and he had no choice but to cut his stomach after betraying the Oda family.
Immediately afterwards, the eastern front cities such as Imagawa Castle, Ikei Carp Castle, and Kamobara Castle were abandoned one after another, and the Oda army was advancing all the way.
But Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was on the southern expedition, hit a nail all the way, first of all, Okabe Motonobu of Narumi Castle still defended the castle to the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and repelled Hosokawa Nobumoto's attacks three or four times.
Originally, he lost the first battle, and Hosokawa Nobumoto thought that Shibata Katsuya would deliberately sneer and take the opportunity to make things difficult. Unexpectedly, Shibata Katsuya came over to comfort him, which made Hosokawa Nobumoto think that he was transsexual. But when he saw his insult to Kinoshita Toyoshiro, Hosokawa Nobugen knew that he hadn't changed at all, he was just genuinely impressed by Hosokawa Nobuyuan, so he just pointed out. Besides, after returning from this incident, Oda Nobunaga will reactivate him, and if Hosokawa Nobumoto wants to command him again, I'm afraid he won't even have a door.
One day passed like this, and when Hosokawa Nobumoto heard that Oda Nobunaga was invincible in a day's siege of the city, he immediately couldn't sit still, and his eyes rolled to the idea of conquering Narumi Castle.
"Okubo Changan! I order you to enter the city immediately and persuade Okabe Motoshin to surrender! Hosokawa Nobumoto said by name.
"Yes, my lord! The subordinates must do their best, but the subordinates are afraid that they will not have enough ability and will have high expectations for the lord. Although Okubo Changan received the order, he also knew that he was not this material, and he was the best at government affairs.
"It's okay, just tell Okabe Motonobu that as long as he is willing to hand over Narumi Castle and withdraw from Owari, I am willing to vouch for the return of the head of Imagawa-sama to him." Nobumoto Hosokawa taught him what to do.
"Rokuro, is this appropriate? Will the Lord Guild say yes? Shibata Katsuya frowned, he still wanted to keep this head for a few days.
"Don't worry, Lord Shibata, if you exchange a head for a castle, the lord will gladly agree." Hosokawa Nobumoto replied in the affirmative, because he knew that this was the case in history.
It didn't take long for Okubo Yasan to return, saying that Okabe Motonobu had agreed, but he would not withdraw his troops as promised until the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto was returned.
"It's nothing, you run another leg and tell the lord about this matter, and the lord will handle it. Now that we have reached an agreement, there is no point in besieging Narumi Castle, and now the whole army sets off to attack Dataka Castle, which just happens to reassure Okabe Motonobu. Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded and gave the order to move to Odakajo.
