"Quick! Load all this ammunition onto the ship! ”

"A few of you, give these brand-new iron cannons to those brothers whose weapons have been damaged."

"Eat and drink more, prepare more, we are going on a long voyage. Especially freshwater! ”

The port in Izumi Border Town is extremely busy, and the Hosokawa Army is stepping up its procurement of supplies and replenishment of guns and ammunition.

"Hosokawa-sama! We're leaving it at that, thank you for the delivery. "Matsunaga Hideki and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu are bidding farewell to Hosokawa Nobumoto, and they are going back to their respective territories to defend in the area of Wakae Castle and Shinkiyama Castle.

"Lord Matsunaga is polite, this is all within the next part, and I hope you will take care of yourself along the way." Hosokawa Nobumoto is now both grateful and wary of Matsunaga Hide.

"Big brother, then I'll leave too, take care." The one who spoke was a solemn Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"Oh, okay, brother Yidi should be more careful on the road." Hosokawa Nobumoto was also speechless for a while, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was three years younger than him, this young man was extremely simple-minded, and he completely relied on his personal likes and dislikes as a criterion for doing things.

The reason why he is willing to follow the "big villain" Matsunaga Show is because it was with the help of Matsunaga Show that he was able to inherit the position of the governor of the Miyoshi family. And the three of Miyoshi have always scoffed at him, but often reprimanded and controlled him, so he simply took refuge in Matsunaga Xiu.

However, Hosokawa Nobugen knew that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu had no idea of the impermanence under Matsunaga's smiling face, so much so that two years later, when they rebelled together in Gyeonggi and were defeated by the Oda family. Matsunaga Hide's sudden defection, claiming that he had actually come to crusade against the traitors, betrayed Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, and thus won Oda Nobunaga's forgiveness.

The funny thing is that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu didn't believe that Matsunaga Hidei would betray him at all, and he still resisted stubbornly in Wakae Castle, but was betrayed by the three elders of the family, opened the city gate and led the Oda army into the city, and finally fought to the death.

"Then I'll take my leave." After saying that, Matsunaga and Miyoshi Army marched and began to leave Kaimachi and return to the territory.

Hosokawa Nobumoto took the opportunity to pull Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to a no-man's corner, and whispered: "Don't just listen to Jiuxiu in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, you don't understand, and if you can't get it, just come and ask me." Also, General Yoshiaki should take care of his affairs less, take care of his subordinates, be careful in everything, and don't trust others too easily. ”

"But General Yoshiaki is very good, he learned that I have been widowed for many years, and he also married his sister to me, don't you know, she is gentle, I like it." When Miyoshi Yoshitsugu thinks of his wife, his face is full of happiness, like a big boy in love.

"Alas... Okay, but if you make any important decisions in the future, you must talk to me beforehand, okay? "For this single-celled animal, Hosokawa Nobumoto really doesn't know what to say.

"Okay big brother, don't worry, big brother." Miyoshi Yoshitsugu smiled innocently, and the back of the departing gradually disappeared from sight.

"It's really enviable, this pure heart is really rare in this chaotic world of cannibalism." Hosokawa Nobumoto has long been accustomed to the dangers of troubled times, the hardships of survival, and he sometimes longs to reclaim that innocence and kindness.

However, he knew that this would never be possible.

"My lord, the army has been assembled and the supplies are fully equipped. Akechi-sama and Hosokawa-sama have returned to Kyoto first, what should we do next? Please choose! Oura waited for Hosokawa Nobumoto's mood to calm down before leaning over at the right time to ask for instructions.

"Got it, ordered to set sail immediately, and first go to Kishiwada Castle to arrange the city defenses. After we are gone, they will need to stay there until we return victorious from Omi Province. "Hosokawa Nobumoto has once again regained his decisive momentum, and in this Warring States, mercy is never reserved for the enemy.

"Yes!" Oura knelt down on one knee for the letter and waited for the lord to leave first.

Outside the Kawachi Kunirugang Castle, Matsunaga Hideshi is saying goodbye to Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, and he is going to return to Yamato Kunishinobu Guishan Castle and mobilize troops for defense. In this joint battle, his Yamato people suffered a lot of losses, and they must be replenished as soon as possible.

"Jiuxiu, be more careful along the way. Oh yes, we're so close, and it's our own territory, there's absolutely no problem. Hehe... It's all learned from my eldest brother, say goodbye to Duxing and be careful all the way, hehe..."Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is very happy, he met Hosokawa Nobumoto, and he feels that this person is very easy to get along with, and he is decisive and has some strange ideas. is very kind to him, he likes it very much, so he worships him as a righteous brother, it's so casual.

"Hehe... Okay, Yoshitsugu. What do you think? I'm not wrong, right? Hosokawa-sama is a very interesting person. Matsunaga Xiu was full of smiles, he was sixty years old this year, like a kind old man.

"Well, it's true, the eldest brother is really good, no wonder when he was besieged, you asked me to work with you to save him." Yoshitsugu Miyoshi remembered the scene at that time, originally they were all gone, but as soon as Matsunaga Shu heard that Hosokawa Nobumoto was surrounded, he rushed back to rescue without thinking about it.

"By the way, when I was leaving, I saw you two muttering quietly on the side, did you say some little secrets? Can... Tell the old man? Matsunaga Xiu deliberately put on a look of relying on the old and selling the old, which caused Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to laugh heartily.

"Hahaha! No, the eldest brother just told me not to listen to you in everything, and just talk to him more. "Miyoshi Yoshitsugu does not shy away from it at all, and he will say whatever he wants.

"Hehe... Is it? So what do you think? Matsunaga smiled, well believing his desperate need for answers.

"I know that you are both for my good, and I am afraid that I will be gullible to others. Don't worry, I'll listen to both of you. Oh, by the way, don't hold a grudge against my eldest brother, he doesn't know who you are, that's why he's like this. After a long time of contact, he will be able to understand what a good person you are. Hehe..."In the end, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu didn't forget to excuse Hosokawa Nobumoto, for fear that there would be some estrangement between these two friends.

"Hehe... Why, I know he's a good person. Otherwise, can I risk my life to save him? And introduce him to you? Right? Matsunaga asked rhetorically.

"That's it, that's it." Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and this said to his heart.

"Alright, I'm leaving." After saying that, the Matsunaga army marched and headed for Yamato Province.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Guoxin, this is the first step you are talking about? Build trust first, right? Matsunaga Hide, who was riding on a horse, seemed to be talking to himself, discussing something in the air.
