To the surprise of everyone present, Kizo Gumasa did not directly refute Omiya's words, but only heard him speak: "My lord, what Omiya-sama said is not unreasonable, but he is too cautious, so when will the family be able to unify Ise?" Moreover, as for the two points that Omiya-sama said just now, his subordinates have ways to deal with them......"

As soon as the wooden Gu Zheng said this, he saw that Kitabatake Gu Jiao's eyes couldn't help but light up, it seemed that the wooden Gu Zheng knew his mind best, so he hurriedly asked: "How to deal with it, come to me quickly." ”

The lord of the wooden tool was hooked back by his own words again, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said: "Back to the lord, the subordinates think that if they are worried that the Oda family will set up an ambush on the way of their own army, they can send a small force to investigate around the army, and the subordinates are willing to lead an army in person to open the way for the army in front, even if there is an ambush for the Oda army, these troops can be wiped out first, so as to weaken the strength of the Oda army.

And if you are worried that the Oda army will attack when the army of the family is out of the city and the city is empty, the lord can leave some light garrisons on each of the three roads leading to Okochi Castle, and there are thousands of troops left in the city, if the Oda army really dares to steal the city, then the city will definitely be prepared, with the strength of Okochi Castle and the defense of thousands of troops in the city, it should not be a problem to hold on for three or four days.

As long as the lord concentrates superior forces, he will first annihilate the Oda army outside Anzuno Castle, and then return to Okochi Castle to defeat the enemy army outside the castle in one fell swoop, so that in the short term, the Oda family will no longer have the ability to send troops to Ise.

At this time, the Oda army had retreated, and Northern Ise had become a borderless land, so the lord could take advantage of the situation to occupy it, so that not only could the Oda family take advantage of this great opportunity to unify Ise, but the Oda family would not be able to get involved in Ise in the future. ”

After he finished speaking, Kitabatake Gujiao couldn't help but pat his thigh, stood up excitedly and said, "Okay, do you have anything else to say about this matter?" ”

Guan Shengxin, who had never had a chance to speak, hurriedly spoke: "My lord, my subordinates also agree with Lord Kizo's proposal, and my subordinates think that the sudden and substantial decline in the combat strength of the Oda Army is not a fraud.

The subordinates believed that because the Oda army launched an offensive against the temple was too fierce, and led the army to attack Anzuno Castle without repairing, the ashigaru physical strength was seriously exhausted, so it would not be able to attack for a long time, and it was not Hosono-sama who was cheating, and the army of the family had been recuperating for a long time, how could it be that the tired army of the Oda family could be stopped, if the lord was willing to lead the army to the battle, it would inevitably destroy the Oda army invisibly, this is the foolish opinion of the subordinates, and the lord is also asked to decide. ”

"Well, who has anything to say!" I only listened to Kitabatake's most questioning after the last question.

Omiya still thinks that it is not suitable for the family to go out to the army now, and it should be based on sticking to it, but the reasons he said have been blocked by the wooden Gu Zheng, and he can't find a reason to refute it in his eagerness, so he can only say anxiously: "Lord, if you go out of the army at this time, the family will not be far from destruction, and please think twice, Lord." ”

After hearing this, Kitabatake Gujiao couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "Bastard, you are not only afraid of the enemy like a tiger, but also dare to curse your family's fortune, when the army wins, I will make you apologize." ”

As soon as Kitabatake's voice fell, two flags walked in briskly, and after saluting the lord, they dragged the palace into the road and walked out.

Although Omiya didn't dare to struggle, his mouth was not idle, and he still kept shouting to persuade Kitabatake, and as the shouts became farther and farther away, it was not until he disappeared that Kitabatake's anger calmed down. …,

I only heard him speak: "Fujikata Chaocheng! ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord."

"In this battle, I will hand over to you two thousand ashigaru to defend the castle of Okochi, and no matter what, I must ensure that this castle is not attacked by the Oda family."

"Yes, my subordinates will live up to the trust of my lord."

Kitada Gukyo nodded, and said again: "Okuyama Tokirisuke! ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." Tsunerusuke Okuyama hurriedly took a step and saluted.

"I will send you a thousand ashigaru to defend the three main roads, if you encounter the Oda army, you don't have to fight it, and immediately lead the army back to Okochi Castle to Sufujikata Chaonari to defend in the city."

"Yes, please rest assured, my subordinates will defend the city of Okochi to the death."

After the affairs of the territory have been arranged, I only listened to the Kitabatake Gujiao immediately ordered all the retainers to prepare.

When they learned that the Oda army was attacking Yasunano Castle, the Kitabatake family had already begun to mobilize, so they saved a lot of time, and at dawn the next day, the Kitabatake family gathered an army of 15,000 and marched towards Anzuno Castle.

"Report to the lord, Muzo-sama and Seki-sama have sent an urgent report, the Hokabatake Kokyo led an army of 15,000 people from Okochi Castle at dawn yesterday, because they are afraid of the ambush of the Nakamoto family, so they are very cautious, and at the current pace of marching, they will probably arrive here in the morning of the next day. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

"Zhilu Dao, you should retreat first." After the attendant replied and exited, Nobunaga couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had been here for nine days, and he was tired of it, and now it was time to move.

However, Nobunaga did not want to set up the main battlefield here, the flat land outside Azuno Castle was too small to allow his troops to launch a full-scale attack, and there were many mountains in this area, and if the enemy were defeated and fled into the mountains, it would be difficult to kill them.

Thinking of this, Nobunaga couldn't help but stand up, walked over to the rather rudimentary map, and whispered, "Come out one." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a thin ninja dressed in dark blue cloth, uncovering the corner of the curtain, dodging to Nobunaga and kneeling down and saluting, "Your subordinates are here, please give orders from the lord." ”

Nobunaga pointed to the map and asked, "I ask you, where is this place?" ”

The ninja then raised his head, looked in the direction pointed by the lord, and replied, "Back to the lord, this place is called Shikahara." ”

"Shikahara? Well, what is the terrain? Nobunaga asked again.

"Back to the lord, this place is extremely flat, and very open, there are no mountains and rivers, please decide." Just listen to the ninja's affirmative reply. Oda Nobunaga had sent ninjas here many times since before he left Ise to inspect the terrain, and this ninja was one of the first to arrive.

"Okay, I know what to do, you can step down." When Nobunaga finished speaking, he stopped talking, but looked at the rudimentary map, and was in a daze.
