Chapter 627: Take the initiative

This trip took more than two months, although Anayama Nobuyan lost more than one lap, but the results are quite gratifying, through their own efforts, a total of more than 20,000 troops for the Takeda family to help the war, once they attack the Oda family, then they will be able to contain more than half of the Oda family's military strength.

In addition, it has to be divided into various places, so that the Oda army that the family will face is only 20,000, with such military strength, even if the family and the forces of the people go out together, there is a seventy percent chance that the Oda army will be defeated, once the Oda army is defeated and retreats, then it is impossible to organize effective resistance, and by then the Oda family will not be far from destruction.

Thinking of this, Anayama Nobuyan felt extremely proud, he just moved his mouth to call the Oda family, which had three million stones and tens of thousands of soldiers, to ashes, once successful, this would not only add the most glorious page to his own merits, I am afraid that even in history will write a strong stroke, with this full of pride, Anayama Nobuyan embarked on the road back.

"Lord, good news, great news!" Matsunaga Shu was wiping his beloved tea bottle of ninety-nine eggplants in the living room at the moment, and at this moment, he saw Nanmu Masanaga suddenly break in and shouted excitedly.

As soon as he entered, the samurai in charge of the defense of the castle tower followed him with a sad face, only to hear him quickly say: "My lord, my subordinates failed to stop Kusunok-sama, it was a dereliction of duty, and I ask my lord to punish him." ”

"Okay, you can stand down."

When the low-level samurai closed the door, he saw Matsunaga Hidetsu carefully put the teabottle back in its place before frowning and asking, "Zhenghu." You are an important minister of your own family, why are you so rude? ”

Nanmu Zhenghu was in no mood to pay attention to the lord's blame now, but he still said excitedly: "Lord, the subordinates are at fault, but there is a reason for the incident, the subordinates just learned from the eyeliner sent to the Miyoshi family that the Takeda family is ready to go to Luo." and an army of thirty-five thousand. The army will be sent out soon. ”

After listening to Matsunaga, he couldn't help but move, but he quickly recovered. I only heard him say lightly: "Is this what makes you happy like this?" Although the Takeda family increased in strength after the annexation of Suruga, it was still not enough to confront the Oda family with only 35,000 troops......

And this battle Oda family is the defending side, even if the family can make a contribution in this battle, but the benefits they can get are very limited, since this is the case, what is there to be happy about. ”

"Lord, if this is the case, of course the subordinates will not be so excited, you don't know, it's not just the Takeda family, according to the eyeliner, the Takeda family sent envoys to agree with many powerful forces. Ready to work together to destroy the Oda family, even the Miyoshi family agreed to send an army of 2,000, if the family can join, then as long as the Oda family falls, the family will definitely get a lot of benefits. The Oda family has nearly three million stone land, and even if it is only one percent, it is nearly 300,000.

And although the army of this family is not large, its combat power is comparable to other forces, so it is conservative to say that as long as the family participates in it, it can get at least forty or fifty thousand land. As long as you work hard, then the lord will be a million-stone name, and such a good thing is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

After listening to Matsunaga Xiu, he stood up violently, and the excitement in his eyes was even better than that of Nanmu Zhenghu, if this is true, then the family really wants to participate, with the strength of the family, it is indeed not too difficult to obtain a few hundred thousand stones, and at that time, the family will also have the qualification to dominate the world.

I only heard Matsunaga Xiu ask equally excitedly: "Is this serious?" ”

Kusunoki Masato, as an important minister of the Matsunaga family, of course knew how important this matter was to the family, so he had already sent someone to secretly watch the every move of the envoy of the Takeda family, and when he heard the lord ask, he only heard him speak: "The subordinates dare not deceive the lord, but after the envoy of the Takeda family reached an agreement with the Miyoshi family, he left all the way in the direction of the general, and it seems that he did not mean to see the lord." …,

But rest assured, the lord has sent someone to keep a close eye on the messenger's movements, and if the lord wants to, then the subordinate will go and invite him. ”

Now that the Matsunaga family already owns most of the land of Yamato, and the army under his command is strong, and he was forced to return to Oda because of the defeat, it stands to reason that Anayama Nobuyun should not forget him, in fact, it is not that Anayama Nobuyun forgot, but he does not want to come.

The Takeda family's visit to Luo this time is a righteous move, and this Matsunaga Show has a reputation for murdering the general, once he is involved, then it is not easy to say in name, and now that everyone has agreed to go to the army, whether or not the Matsunaga family participates does not affect the overall situation, so in the end, Anayama Nobuyojun still gave up the Matsunaga family, but all this Matsunaga Show did not know.

Originally, there was an important minister of the family to invite the envoy of the Takeda family to come, and the specifications were not low, but Matsunaga Xiu thought that it was still not enough, the other party obviously looked down on him, if it was in normal times, he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, but this time it was related to whether the family could have the strength to compete for the world, so there could be no sloppiness, even if it was humiliated, the envoy of the Takeda family would be invited back, as for whether to participate, then it depends on how much strength the coalition has.

Thinking of this, I heard him speak, "No, I will personally go and invite the messenger to come, and you will go at once and prepare it, and when you are ready, go with me." ”

On this day, Anayama Nobuyoshi and three or four retinues responsible for protecting security have entered the Minami-Omi territory, and by the way, he has contacted many wealthy clans, since the Oda family and the nearby generals of the temple are in a strong battle, these wealthy clans began to be dissatisfied with the Oda family, but because their own strength is too weak, so they have to swallow their anger, and when they listen to the persuasion of Anayama Nobujun, they all decided to raise troops to help.

And not only that, in order to be able to have the power of a war, these wealthy clans began to contact more anti-Oda family wealthy clans to participate.

Of course, I was extremely happy with Nobukun Jiurayama. Although it is easy to show the rumors if you do this, but what is there to dew, the Oda family is probably already aware of the fact that the family is on Luo, and contacts many powerful forces to go out to the army together, even if they know the Dao, it is fine, as long as they don't know the agreed time of the army, and which of the powerful forces are involved, then there is no problem.

"Look, my lord." As Anayama Nobuyoshi was smiling southeast, he suddenly heard a retinue beside him shouting loudly.

And looking south in the direction of his finger, he saw more than a hundred cavalry galloping towards him. Anayama Nobuyojun couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, could it be that his whereabouts were discovered by the Oda family? How could this be possible, but if not, then why would the cavalry in front of him come straight to him.

The hundred-man cavalry suddenly stopped when they were still a few dozen meters away from Anayama Nobuyo-kun, and saw a samurai of some age walking out of the middle of them, and behind him there was a samurai, but the two samurai were only wearing cloth clothes and no armor on the outside.

The two of them turned and dismounted, and soon came near. "May I ask you, you are the envoy of the Takeda family, Lord Anayama, in Shimomatsu Yongxiu, I want to invite you to Shingui Mountain Castle to talk in detail, I wonder if you can appreciate your face?"

After hearing this, Anayama Nobuyuna did not feel panicked, after all, if this Matsunaga Show had malicious intentions, I am afraid that he would not invite himself to Shinguiyama Castle, but directly took himself to Gifu City and handed it over to Oda Nobunaga, and since his identity has been completely exposed, there is really no need to hide, so he just listened to him calmly said: "I have seen Matsunaga-sama in the Shimotakeda family, but I don't know what the Lord commands?" ”

Seeing that the other party could still maintain his composure now, Matsunaga Hideki couldn't help but glance at him, worthy of the prestigious Takeda family, and the retainers under his command were really not to be underestimated. …,

"Cave Mountain-sama, this is not the place to talk, let's ask the adults for advice after we get to Xingui Mountain Castle. Someone came to prepare a horse for the Lord of the Cave Mountain. ”

After Matsunaga Shu came to Shingui Mountain Castle, after the guests and hosts sat down, they only heard Anayama Nobuyojun ask: "I don't know what advice Matsunaga-sama has to come to the next place, please make it clear." ”

I saw Matsunaga Shu stand up, and after walking around Anayama Nobuyun twice, he said solemnly: "Anayama-sama, don't say secret words in front of the Akito, the purpose of the adult's trip to is already known in Xia, and I am deeply indignant at the Oda family's imprisonment of the general, so I am willing to lead the army to help the Takeda family and attack Oda, it is precisely for this reason that I will invite the adults in the next place, and please don't see strange things." ”

After listening to Matsunaga Hide's words, Anayama Nobuyun almost didn't spit it out, the Oda family just imprisoned the general, and you, it is true that the general was murdered, to put it mildly, it is more hateful than Oda Nobunaga, and now it's good, he actually sued the wicked first, although the other party is not a good thing, but in terms of character, Anayama Nobuyuki has to admit that this Matsunaga Hide is much more hateful than Oda Nobunaga.

But when he just wanted to refuse, he suddenly thought that if he refused, then the path of Matsunaga Hide's defection to the Takeda family would be completely blocked, and then he would have only one way to continue to work for the Oda family.

And the character of Matsunaga Xiu will definitely send himself to Oda Nobunaga, and he is not afraid of dying, but once he is captured by Oda Nobunaga, how does the lord know about the affairs of the road, and when it comes to the army, if the family does not make any moves, then the other forces may also be immobile, so that the family has no faith, even if it is organized in the future, I am afraid that no one will agree again, so for the sake of the Takeda family's great cause, I can only agree to him. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
