"Haha! Good! Saito Ryuko, a fool, was deceived back by Rokuro with a trick. Oda Nobunaga in Tangdong Castle laughed when he received Hosokawa Nobumoto's tip.

"Command! Toshiharu Saito led 500 troops to reinforce Kajita Castle, and the rest of the army rested and stood by, ready to go out at any time. Although Oda Nobunaga wanted to take Seki Castle in one go, considering that the physique of the peasant soldiers was too poor, it would be disadvantageous to fight in turns, so he could only order the only fresh force to reinforce Kajida Castle first.

"Yes! Lord! After receiving the order, Saito Toshiji kept leading an army of 500 to reinforce Kajita Castle, he was the youngest son of Saito Michizo and the brother-in-law of Oda Nobunaga.

Outside Kajida Castle, Nagai Michiri led 1,000 troops to surround the small town in front of him tremblingly, for fear that the Oda army would come from behind.

"Report to the lord, the Oda army has been found in the rear, and it is approaching us."

"Huh? Yes, how many of them? Nagai Michi's heart was pinched, he was really afraid of something.

"Back to the lord, there are only about 500 people."

"Huh? Only such a few people? This was clearly unexpected.

"My lord! The gates of Kajida Castle were wide open, and the Sato army rushed out of the city. ”

"Huh? Hahaha, God really help me, Kajida City is only 500 troops, and it seems that there are only about 300 people who go out of the city to fight, which is really beyond my strength. On my order, the army was divided into two and attacked the Oda army separately. Nagai Michitoshi did not choose to give priority to attacking the first army, but divided his troops to meet the battle.

"Kill!" The Sato army and the Nagai army were the first to make contact, and Sato Tadano's sister-in-law, Sato Tadayasu, led the team to fight, and he saw the Oda family reinforcements from a distance on the city wall, and without carefully looking at how many people there were, he recklessly led the 300 troops to rush out of Kajida Castle.

"Kill!" Michitoshi Nagai commanded 500 troops to meet the Sato army, and the other 500 troops were led by Tadamasa Hita, the lord of Yoneda Castle.

Burst!

"Ugh." Tadayasu Sato stared blankly ahead, and a spear pierced his neck.

"Huh? Young Lord! ”

"Tadayasu Sato has been begged for by the next! Tadayasu Sato was begged for under it! ”

With the chanting of a samurai from the Nagai family, the morale of the Sato army immediately slumped, and it was about to collapse.

"Ahh Avenge the young master! ”

A Sato samurai shouted slogans and stabbed the Nagai samurai to death with a single shot.

"Kill! Avenge the young master! ”

The morale of the Sato army was greatly boosted, and he followed the samurai into the Nagai army.

"Huh? Resist! Resist me! ”

Seeing the dramatic change, Michitoshi Nagai gritted his teeth and looked at the Sato family, the samurai who turned the tide, was the Sato family's fierce general Yuasa Shinroku, with the title of spearman.

Bang Bang Bang!

Toshimasa Saito and Tadamasa Hida are at war, and the two sides are evenly matched, and they are still conducting tentative attacks.

"Ahh Run! ”

Suddenly, there was a discordant sound from behind Tadamasa Hita, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Nagai army had collapsed, and Ashigaru was running in all directions.

"Huh?" Tadamasa Hita, who was not in a good mood, didn't react yet, but only heard a shout from the other side:

"Assault!"

The Oda army took advantage of the situation to press, and defeated the Hida army, which was already in turmoil, and the matter had come to this point, and Hida Tadamasa simply surrendered directly.

Michitoshi Nagai, who had lost his troops, ran back to Seki in embarrassment, and was surrounded by Tadano Sato and Toshiji Saito, who followed closely behind.

When Oda Nobunaga got the news, he immediately led a large army to arrive, which made the situation even worse.

Soon, the lonely Seki Castle was captured by the Oda army, and Nagai Michitoshi fled to Inabayama Castle in a hurry.

"Haha! Okay, now that Seki Castle has also been taken, now the whole army is ready to go to Inabayama Castle and pacify Mino Province in one go! "In the military tent, Oda Nobunaga is in high spirits, and he has now roughly completed the suppression of the central and eastern parts of Mino.

"My lord! An envoy from the shogunate came. The samurai on duty outside the tent came in and told Oda Nobunaga.

"Huh? An emissary of the shogunate? Who is it? Oda Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart that General Yoshiki hadn't been killed? Where did the shogunate envoy come from?

"It's Hosokawa-sama Fujitaka."

"Huh? What is he here for? Oda Nobunaga unconsciously looked at the retainers who came down, but unfortunately he didn't find Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was still guarding Ikiyama Castle.

"Let him in first." Oda Nobunaga decided to see what the other party meant first.

"Foreign ministers, see Oda Hall." After entering the account, Hosokawa Fujitaka made a big gift to Oda Nobunaga in a proper manner.

"I wonder what happened to Hosokawa-sama? I just heard that the Shogunate is represented by an adult? But General Yoshiki has just returned to heaven, and it seems that the imperial court has not officially appointed the next general, right? Niwa Nagahide on the side was the first to speak, asking the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"It was Master Juekei who sent me down, hoping that your family and the Saito family could stop fighting and the two families would be in harmony." Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a bow.

"What! Why! "The grumpy Shibata Katsuya stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, he felt that Qing was something, although he was the younger brother of General Yoshiki, but now he was just a monk, what right did he have to point fingers here. Fortunately, Niwa Nagahide on the side pulled him back, otherwise the situation would have been very embarrassing.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was also flushed, and he persuaded Jueqing at the time, saying that he had not officially ascended the throne yet, and it was not good to meddle too much in the affairs between the daimyo of all parties, but Jueqing, who felt good about himself, didn't think so.

"Lord Hosokawa has come from afar, let's go and rest first, this matter is related to the family's plan, and we need to discuss it with the important ministers in the family before we can reply." Oda Nobunaga himself frowned, and his first impression of this Jueqing was very bad, but he still tactfully asked Hosokawa Fujitaka to rest, after all, he was Hosokawa Nobumoto's cousin, and he happened to ask Hosokawa Nobugen what he meant.

That night, Hosokawa Nobugen was summoned back to Seki by Oda Nobunaga, and first went to Hosokawa Fujitaka to learn what happened, and then hurried to the council chamber.

"It just so happens that Rokuro is also here, so let's discuss it." As soon as Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke, the crowd below suddenly became angry, and the most said was nothing more than that Juekei's name was not right, and his words were not good, so he could ignore it and so on.

"Rokuro, after listening to so much, why don't you speak?" Oda Nobunaga is also a hundred unhappy, and the reason why he asked Hosokawa Nobumoto is just to check and fill in the gaps and see if there is anything he didn't think of.

"My lord, your majesty thinks you should agree to Master Jueqing's request." One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto finished speaking, the other retainers of the Oda family pointed the finger at him, thinking that he was secretly colluding with this Kakukei.

"Rokuro, why did you propose that?" Oda Nobunaga is also full of displeasure, what he hates most is stepping on two boats, if Hosokawa Nobugen does not give him a reasonable answer today, he will definitely not tolerate it.
