Chapter Ninety-Nine: Target Nishio
No matter what Maeda Toshiya and the other three thought, at this time, Watanabe Moritsuna had already knelt down in front of the Takayama clan and declared his allegiance.
"Lord, my subordinates have offended a lot before, and I ask the lord to punish him." Watanabe Moritsuna knew that he was disrespectful to the clan just now, so he didn't dare to raise his head.
The clan did not speak directly, but turned over and dismounted, walked two steps quickly, came to Watanabe Shougang, mixed him with both hands, changed the coldness just now, and said with a pleasant face: "Shougang was just confused by Yizong before, as the so-called prodigal son turned back and did not change, now that the chaos is set right, how can I blame, the previous matter, don't mention it again in the future, please get up quickly." ”
"Lord...... The subordinates feel that the lord does not kill the great grace, although he cannot repay the death. After saying that, two lines of hot tears finally burst out of his eyes and crossed his cheeks.
Honda Masatin saw that Watanabe Moritsuna had sincerely surrendered, and while he was happy for him, he also respectfully held Taidao Muramasa in both hands and slowly walked to the front of the clan.
Honda Masanobu has long understood that the lord let himself have full command of this joint battle, and his intention is only to create an opportunity for himself to prove his talents in front of other retainers, and his main job in the future is to follow the lord to give advice, and the possibility of commanding the battle alone is very small, if he can't figure out the joints and is suspicious of the lord, then it is estimated that he will die a miserable death.
I saw Honda Masanobu kneeling on his knees, raising the sword in his hand above his head, and said steadily: "My lord, in this battle of Jingchuan, our army won a complete victory, and my subordinates have come to hand over the order." ”
The clan sect did not take the sword, but said earnestly: "Zhengxin, Xiwei City has not yet been breached, and there is no hurry to hand over the order." ”
Honda Masanobu still didn't get up, and continued to speak: "My lord, now that the temple is dead, Watanabe-sama has also surrendered, the dragons of Nishio Castle are leaderless, and the army has been defeated, according to his subordinates, as long as Watanabe-sama is sent to persuade him to surrender, this city will be able to be destroyed without attacking." ”
Watanabe Moritsuna, who had just surrendered, was worried that he had no chance to make meritorious contributions, and when he saw Honda Masanobu mentioning himself, while being grateful, he hurriedly saluted respectfully and said: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to Nishio Castle to persuade the defenders to surrender, and I also ask my lord for approval." ”
Seeing that the army under his command was exhausted, it was not suitable for him to fight again for the time being, so he nodded and said: "You must be careful when you go to defend the gang, even if you can't persuade the defenders to surrender, it will be fine, but I order you to return safely." ”
Watanabe Moritsuna saw that the lord valued him so much, and he couldn't help but have the thought of dying as a confidant, and he had already made up his mind to take Nishio Castle for the lord no matter what, but he said excitedly: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will succeed here." ”
Seeing Watanabe Moritsuna leave alone, the clan no longer shirked, took Muramasa from Honda Masanobu's hand, and inserted it back into his waist again.
The clan said to the three retainers including the Maeda Toshiya who had already come to his side: "The plan of the military advisor, can you three obey?" ”
The three of them hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said ashamedly: "The lord, the ability of the military advisor, the subordinates and others have all known, please punish the lord." ”
Seeing that the three of them admitted their mistakes, but the clan sect didn't give them any good looks, he snorted lightly and said: "Hmph, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, how can you wait for you to know, why don't you quickly apologize to the military advisor!" ”
Maeda Toshiya and others have long been convinced by Honda Masanobu's wisdom, and the reparation is naturally from the bottom of their hearts. They still didn't get up, but just moved their bodies, and said ashamedly to Honda Masanobu: "Strategist, I have offended a lot before being inferior, and I ask the Strategist to forgive me." ”
Honda Masashi saw two retainers whose status was higher than himself, and an old retainer in the family was kneeling and admitting his mistake to himself, no matter how he had been in the previous situation, he couldn't help but panic at this moment. Hurriedly picked up the three of them one by one, and said humbly: "The three adults are tormented, such a trivial matter, please don't worry about it." ”
Seeing that everyone's estrangement was gone, the clan was overjoyed, if the retainers could be sincerely united, with their abilities, even if they wanted to seize the world, it would not be difficult.
Subsequently, the clan sent ninjas to the vicinity of Nishio Castle to inquire about the news, and at the same time ordered Ashigaru to camp and wait for the good news.
In the castle tower of Nishio Castle, since the Honshoji Temple and Watanabe Moritsuna led the army, everyone has been waiting for news here, and no one has left. At first, they saw that the enemy's army was only 100, their own army was 1,000, and among the 900 troops, there were 800 elite monks, so they did not pay attention to the enemy who was going to attack. In a battle like this, not to mention that it is invincible, even if it is won, there is nothing to show off, and there are also samurai who make a lot of nonsense: the Takayama clan is a man of false fame, and his ability is nothing more than that, if he goes out of battle by himself, he will definitely be able to win his head. ,
So at the beginning, the atmosphere in the assessment room was very relaxed, but as time passed, the samurai could not relax in any way, and they learned from the mouths of dozens of monks and soldiers who had returned from defeat that the army had been ambushed by the enemy, and all of them fled, and the temple was killed, and Watanabe Moritsuna was still fighting, but after all, he was alone, and I am afraid that it was also more auspicious.
Since the Honshoji Empty Oath and Watanabe Moritsuna are not there, then these samurai are naturally headed by Beeya Sadaji.
I only heard one of the samurai say: "Lord Beehouse, even the 800 elite monks of the Master of the Air Oath have been defeated by the Takayama Clan, and we will not be able to hold Nishio Castle under any circumstances with only 400 ashigaru, so I suggest that we immediately abandon this city and lead the remaining troops to go to the palace." Please decide. ”
"My lord, you must not abandon the city and leave, otherwise we will be laughed at by the world, according to the opinion of the subordinates, after the enemy's battle, the army is exhausted, if the army attacks at this time, the enemy will be defeated, please allow me to go out in the next battle to show prestige." Another samurai said immediately.
"No, the two adults said, I don't agree with it, the city of Xiwei City is high and deep, and it can be defended by this ridge city, thinking that the identity of the Gaoshan clan is just a general, and the army under his command must be limited, after its food is exhausted, how can there be a reason not to retreat? Therefore, in the lower opinion, only the ridge city is the best policy. Please also have a good understanding. ”
Khesya Sadaji was not a decisive person in the first place, and with so many suggestions waiting for him to decide, he only felt dizzy and physically and mentally exhausted, and hurriedly said loudly: "Okay, don't talk about it, let me think about it." ”
Khesaya Sadaji felt that there was some truth in the suggestions made by the samurai present, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't want to give up any of them, but because his own army was not large, it was obvious that these proposals could not be used at the same time, so which one should he choose?
Alas, it seems that he is really not an idea material. Sadaji Beehouse couldn't help but start laughing at himself in his heart.
