When Yokotani Yukishige thought of this, he was also embarrassed to send his ninja army to be scolded, and finally decided to go to Tamba himself to ask the lord for his guilt.

And in Miyazu City, at this moment, it was a celebration, Isshiki Yoshido didn't expect it at all, just to look at the enemy and retreat, and the retreat was so clean, and the territory returned to his own hands inch by inch, how could he not be happy, so not only rewarded the Inafu father and son, but also regardless of the sky, immediately set up a banquet to reward the army, and the city suddenly changed the scene.

Since it was getting late, and no one knew if the Gao Shan Army would come back, they didn't drink much, and the banquet was not very long.

When everyone dispersed, Inatomi Naohide and his son returned to the samurai mansion, he wanted to praise his son a few words, but before he could speak, he heard Inatomi Naohide say: "Father, this time I can use a trick to scare the enemy away, but this kind of strategy may be able to deal with a brainless person like Yokoya Yukishige once, if it happens again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into the plan, and the child is worried that after Yokotani Yushige is defeated, he will definitely report back to the Takayama clan, and Tango is the place he must take, Even if the Gaoshan Clan Sect does not come in person, then it is only necessary to send a large general, and such a strategy will be difficult to succeed, and when the time comes, do you think that with only hundreds of banners and a few thousand peasant soldiers, you can still block the enemy's attack? ”

After listening to these words, Inatomi Naohide felt very relieved, it seems that his son is much stronger than himself, and when he celebrates like this, he does not forget to be calm, if he grows up, he will definitely become a famous general in the world. However, in addition to his praise for his son, his words also made Naohide Inatomi fall into thought. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any strategy to retreat from the enemy, so he only heard him ask: "Could it be that my son has thought of any good way to resist the attack of the mountain army?" ”

But what disappointed him was. I saw Inafuyou shook his head, and said helplessly: "What can the child do, this time it's just a coincidence, in the face of absolute strength, the Isshiki family has no possibility of struggling at all, let alone the Takayama Army, I'm afraid that even the Sakuma Army itself can wipe out the Isshiki family." ”

Naohide Inatomi looked at the roof for a long time. Only then did he speak: "It seems that now I can only pray to heaven to prevent the Hatano family from perishing, as long as the Hatano family is there." Then there is no danger in arriving at the Isshiki home. ”

"If my father is really as he thinks, then both the Isshiki family and the family are not far from extinction." Speaking of this, I only heard him continue: "Father. You seem to have forgotten. Now that the Isshiki family is bordering the Oda family, this time it can attack Tanba from the direction of Yamashiro first, why can't it attack Tango from the direction of Wakasa next time, the Hatano family has been able to resist the attack of Sakuma and Takayama after several years of preparation, and the main family, even if they start actively preparing from now, it will be too late, the child thinks. Once its Tanba strategy fails, then it will not be a year. The Isshiki family will inevitably become its target of attack, not to mention the tens of thousands of enemy troops at that time, even if it is reduced by half, it is not something that the Isshiki family can contend with. Once the Isshiki family is destroyed, how can the rice rich family have a good end? "And what do you say should be done?" Hearing this, Naohide Inatomi was really a little anxious, so he didn't care about his father's majesty, and asked directly.

"It's a simple matter, and the child thinks it's better to choose to be obedient, only in this way can the family name last forever."

"You were also in the assessment room that day, the lord has already said that he is dead, it is impossible to surrender, this decision is not for you and me to change."

"The father misunderstood, the child meant that the Daofu family was obedient, not to persuade the lord to submit." When he said this, Dao Fuyou saw his father's dissatisfied expression towards him, and couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Father, as far as the child knows, the Gaoshan clan has always loved talents, although the child is young, but he thinks that his ability is not under his command, especially this time can scare off the Gaoshan army, with the character of the Gaoshan clan, he will definitely value his father and the child, once he is obedient, he will be reused, isn't this much stronger than in the Isshiki family, the child said a mistake, and now the general trend is still like this, There will be no more accidents in the Oda family's domination of the world, the lord is really a little unwise to act against the sky, and although the lord is not bad to his subordinates, but he is definitely not virtuous, so muddy and nightmarish can not achieve great things at all, so the child thinks that the family should be in line with the sky rather than against the sky, only in this way can the family name last forever. ”

After hearing these words, Daofu Naohide really moved his mind, but the only thing he was worried about was the attitude of the Gaoshan family, although the Inatomi family was a minister of the Isshiki family, but it was also a wealthy family of Tango, and he also had land under his rule, once he was submitted, how would the Gaoshan clan deal with him?

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "It's not that I don't want to submit, it's just because the Gaoshan Clan's attitude towards the Hao clan is bad, and it is unknown whether it can accept it." ”

"Father, the child doesn't think so, according to the child's understanding, the Takayama clan is just disgusted with those mediocre and incompetent wealthy clans, but the really capable ones are very courteous, and once they are fancied, then they will definitely be reused, for example, the inner island clan is now in control of the foreign affairs of the Takayama family, if you don't trust it enough, how can you let it hold such power, and besides, although Suwa Yoritada has not been obedient to Takayama for a long time, but now it is indeed a cavalry army, although it is under the deputy commander on the surface, But the power is more than that of the Takayama clan's love for Yamanaka Kanosuke, so how can it be said that the Takayama clan treats the Hao clan badly. ”

"These are just examples, and although these people are all reused, they are on the basis of handing over their territories, and although the Suwa family's business has been retained, the head of the family is inherited by the son of the Takayama clan, which is not enough to explain the attitude of the Takayama clan towards the wealthy clan."

"Father, the land of this family is only three thousand stones, if you can get the trust of the Gaoshan clan, then the child would rather not have these three thousand stones, father, can you see the four heavenly kings of the Gaoshan family? What is the land if it is gone, as long as you can make great achievements, are you afraid that you will not get it? And the child heard that at the Oda family's year-end appraisal meeting, Oda Nobunaga ordered the Takayama clan to seize the Kanto region within five years? That's the Kanto region of millions of stones, once you help him win this place, what is the value of thousands of stones of land, don't hesitate to father. ”

"What my son said is reasonable, with the ability of you and my father and son, as well as my younger brother Zhizhong, as long as it can be accepted by the Gao Shan family, then it is indeed not too difficult to make meritorious contributions. However, this matter still needs to be carried out in secret, I don't know who to send there? ”

"It's not safe to leave this matter to others, so the child decided that it would be better to go in person."

"No, no, you just repelled the Gaoshan army, if the Gaoshan Clan Sect learns about this, it will be furious, if you go, won't you throw yourself into the net."

"Father, it's already at this time, what is there to hesitate about, even if you don't go, it won't be long before the family will perish with the Isshiki family, so it's better to give up your life than this."

Naohide Inatomi thought about it, and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he no longer persuaded him, but said: "In that case, tomorrow I will propose to the lord that you return to Ninja Castle to mobilize the military, and you will take this opportunity to go to Tanba to meet the Takayama clan." ”

"It's up to my father."

On the second day, Isshiki Yoshido was not embarrassed, and he quickly asked Inafuyu to return to Ninja City to mobilize the army, but what he didn't expect was that the other party did not return at all, but went all the way to the south, straight to the direction of Yagami Castle.

However, when Inatomi came straight to the outside of Yagami Castle, he couldn't help but feel very puzzled, according to intelligence, Sakuma and Takayama coalition forces were attacking Yagami Castle, I am afraid that this camp should not be far from the city, but he has come to a mile outside the city and has not seen the coalition main camp. This made his heart suddenly half cold, could it be that the coalition forces had been unable to attack for a long time and had already retreated? If that's the case, I can't go to Hida, but the entanglement on my body is not enough to support me to go, and there is no point in going this time.

But just when he was disappointed, he inadvertently looked at Yagami Castle, and immediately put aside the idea just now, at this moment the city has long been out of military strength for defense, and some are just craftsmen repairing, if this can't be proven, then the Hatano family pattern in the city has disappeared, and it has been replaced by Sakuma's Marunouchi Sanyin pattern, which is enough to show that this city has been captured by the coalition army.

Seeing this, Inatomi Yunao was absolutely glad about himself, and the people of the Isshiki family thought that the Hatano family could block the attack of the coalition army with the strength of Yagami Castle, but it was only a month, and the city had already fallen, but fortunately, he came early, if he waited for the coalition army to attack Tango in Guishun, then the family would fall into the inferior.

Thinking of this, Dao Fuyou didn't dare to delay, and immediately walked towards Bashang City, and after asking questions, he went straight to Tanba Turtle Mountain City.

At this moment, in the assessment room of Tanba Kameyama Castle, I saw Sakuma Nobumori sitting firmly on the main seat, and of course the first clan sect on the left hand of the stairs was not allowed to sit here, behind him, the three of Wakasa were lined up, and then there were the retainers of the Takayama family who went out with the clan.

And look at the right side of the stairs, it is much more empty, this battle, Sakuma family retainers killed seven or eight people, and there are two or three of the remaining people, although they are lucky not to die, but they are also seriously injured, and there is no possibility of attending the meeting at all.

However, what made the retainers of the Sakuma family even more resentful was that the first person to sit on the right hand at this moment was none other than Minori Ogino, who had just transferred to the Sakuma family and inherited the 38,000 stone of the Ogino family. (To be continued.) )
