Chapter 211 The news came
After listening to Takenaka's words, Ando Mamoru also felt deeply helpless, the reason why Takenaka's Hanbei fell into such a situation was because of this, even if he went to another country, he had the responsibility and obligation to ensure that the name of the Takenaka family would not perish.
However, after passing this matter, will the lord really change around this? And as the mastermind of the whole incident, I don't know how to deal with it after waiting for the lord, if the lord works hard to make the case better, even if he makes seppuku apologize, there will be no complaints.
But if the lord still hasn't changed in the slightest, then where should he go, as the first minister of the Saito family, if he is exiled by the lord, he will lose face in the future, but whether it is worth the funeral for the Saito family, Ando Mamoru doesn't want to continue to think about it, or solve the matter in front of him first, and then talk about it later.
Seeing that Ando Mamoru's face changed, he solemnly ordered the retainers around him to quickly lead people to search for the traces of the lord near Inabayama Castle, and be sure to leave the lord intact to Inabayama Castle. ”
This samurai has been following Ando Mamoru and is responsible for personal protection, so just now the words of the lord and Lord Takenaka, he also listened to all the words in his ears, in his opinion, since the lord spent half a day of effort to capture Inabayama Castle, then it is possible to take advantage of the position, in this era, this is not a disgraceful thing, besides, isn't this Saito family just to seize the foundation of the Toki clan? Then why can I, the Ando family, be ministers forever.
The strength of Inabayama Castle, this samurai has heard of it, but when I see it today, it has been stronger than I imagined, if the family is self-reliant, even if the retainers of the Saito family unite and lead the army to attack, there is the elite of the lord, and the wisdom of Lord Takenaka, it will be easy to defend this city, and Lord Inaba and Lord are friends of life and death, even if the Lord occupies Inabayama Castle, he will not lead the army to help, and he will definitely not send troops to attack, so as to say, In addition to the retainers of the Saito family, who else can gather a large army to attack, except for the Buquan family, who else can gather a large army to attack? If that's the case, then this West Mino will have to change its court.
And this time with the lord came to capture the city, although he did not make great efforts, did not make great achievements, but in the chaos just now, to protect the lord and the lord, this is a great achievement, when the time comes, when the lord sits on the land of 200,000 stones in Ximenon, I am afraid that the reward must be indispensable, it is not good, but also can become the lord of a city.
The more the samurai thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, completely ignoring the answer that Takenaka and Takenaka-sama were waiting for.
After a while, Ando Mamoru saw that the samurai under his command still did not accept the order, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy, only to hear him say Matsui Kotaro, you are thinking, why don't you quickly lead someone to find the lord, if the lord has an accident, for you is asking"
After Matsui Kotaro was awakened by the lord's words, he didn't take the order, but knelt down on the ground and dragged out all the thoughts in his heart just now, but before he finished speaking, he just heard Ando Mamoru angrily and said Bastard, such a humiliating thing for the family, I won't do it anyway, don't shut up for me, hurry up and lead someone to find the traces of the lord, if there is any more disobedience, I will not be forgiven"
Seeing that the lord had made up his mind, Matsui Kotaro did not dare to continue to persuade him, and after answering, he hurriedly led dozens of ashigaru outside the city to search for his traces of Saito Ryuxing.
Ando Mamoru looked at his departing back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't just think about taking this city for himself, with Inabayama Castle in hand, it was equivalent to occupying the general stone high of Nishiminon, with his friendship with Inaba Ittetsu for many years, if he wanted to occupy this city, as long as he divided some interests, he would definitely not stand idly by when other Saito retainers of the Saito family in Nishimino came to attack.
But even if you can resist the Nishimino coalition army, now Oda Nobunaga of Owari is eyeing Mino and has just occupied this city, and the territory is unstable, how can he resist, can he return the city to the Oda family? In this way, Oda Nobunaga said that it was impossible to keep the castle, so it was interesting.
Besides, there are no longer a few Oda family samurai who have been fighting with the Oda family all year round and have died in their hands, if they are obedient, in case they are assassinated by him, it will be a little more than worth the loss, but even if the lord wakes up after returning, will he be able to resist the army of the Oda family? Thinking of this, Mamoru Ando began to contradict. His mind was already in turmoil, and he didn't know what he wanted. ,
Mamoru Ando did not know much about Oda Nobunaga's heart, so he still underestimated Oda Nobunaga's courage, and if he was willing to hand over the castle to the Oda family and submit to it, he would be able to obtain half of the territory of Mino Province. But he had this opportunity.
On the second day of the Takenaka Hanbei seizing Inabayama Castle, Oda Nobunaga, who had returned to Komakiyama Castle, had already received the news, and after listening to the ninja's report, Oda Nobunaga was very surprised in reality, with 10,000 troops did not take the city, that Takenaka Hanbei actually used only a dozen people to seize Inabayama Castle, which is really a bit incredible, but this is a great good thing, since Inabayama Castle has changed hands, then there is a chance to stay in Inabayama Castle without blood.
Thinking of this, I heard Nobunaga hurriedly shout loudly outside the door."
The door was opened with a bang, and I saw Naomasa walking quickly to Nobunaga, and saluted and said that his subordinates are here, please give orders to the lord. ”
"Hurry up and summon Senbei, I have something to ......" Saying this, Nobunaga remembered that the Takayama clan had just gone to Kita-Omi to discuss the alliance with Asai Nagamasa not long ago, so he quickly changed his words and said Go and summon Yonegoro, I have something to order.
Komakiyama Castle is not big, and it didn't take long for Niwa Nagahide to appear in the living room of the castle tower, only to hear him say that his subordinate Niwa Nagahide is seeing the lord. ”
"Well, today I received news that the Takenaka Half-Soldier Guard has seized Inabayama Castle, and I now order you to go immediately and return the Takenaka Half-Soldier Guard, as for the conditions......" Speaking of this, Nobunaga thought about it carefully, if this condition is lower, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the Takenaka Half-Soldier Guard, and he still knows something about the Takenaka Half-Guard, although his martial arts are not very exquisite, but the resourcefulness is rare in the world, even compared with the Thousand Soldiers, it is by no means inferior, if Inabayama Castle is in the hands of Saito Ryuxing, he doesn't care, But if it's in the hands of the Takenaka half-guard, then if you want to capture it, it won't be so easy, and Nobunaga doesn't want to spend too much on Zamino Raiders.
Thinking of this, I only listened to him continue to say You go and tell Takenaka Hanbei that if he is willing to return to his family and dedicate Inabayama Castle, I will reward him with the land of Mino and half of the country. ”
