"My lord, that's the way it is... They asked for a half-day grace. Oura rushed back to the camp overnight and reported to his lord Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Well, got it. How sure do you think you are of faith? "On this expedition, Hosokawa Nobugen took Oura Weixin with him, mainly because he felt that he would inevitably deal with some surrounding forces.

Because Hosokawa Nobumoto himself is not good at socializing, it is impossible for him to deal with some things personally, such as this persuasion.

"About 90 percent sure." Oura replied without hesitation, much to Hosokawa Nobumoto's surprise.

"Oh? Why is that? I've heard that Matsuura Hizen Mamoru is very stubborn. ”

"My lord, in fact, the key point is not Matsuura Feiqian Shou, but Matsuura Zongqing."

"How?"

"Although Matsuura Munekiyo is the future heir of the Matsuura family and the adopted son of Matsuura Hizen Mamoru, they don't actually have a deep relationship. Matsuura Munekiyoshi is actually the second son of the Terada family, and in order to recapture Kishiwada Castle, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru reached an agreement with the Terada family to accept Matsuura Munekiyoshi as an adopted son and inherit the family name of the Matsuura family in the future. ”

"I see, I'm afraid this cheap dad has known each other for less than a month, and he can't talk more than a hundred words."

"Exactly! Moreover, the Terada family died in battle, and the Terada family is now in the hands of his elder brother, the Terada Masae, who has a very different concept from their father. So—" Oura smiled contemptuously, convinced that things must turn out as he expected.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Kishiwa Tiancheng opened the door and surrendered, and the brothers did not dare to ask for a long time in order to behave in front of their future masters, so they slashed Matsuura Hizen Matsuura and took over Kishiwa Tiancheng that night.

"Good, good." Hosokawa Nobumoto rode on his horse and nodded approvingly.

"Please move to the shore and Tian City!" Matsuura Munekiyo and Terada Masake are also very familiar with current affairs, and they put themselves in the right position.

"Well... I won't go in, and the lord ordered me to hurry to Tennoji Temple, and Kishiwada Castle will be handed over to you for guarding. Now I appoint Matsuura Munekiyo as the jo representative of Kishiwada Castle, and Masaie Terada as the general of the Kishiwada Castle garrison, and continue to garrison Kishiwada Castle. If you lose the shore and Tian Castle, come and see you! ”

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! Matsuura Munekiyo and Terada Masake breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Hosokawa Nobumoto did not take the opportunity to weaken their power, but instead entrusted them with important tasks.

Now Oda Nobunaga's army has set up a formation next to Tennoji Temple, and has issued a summoning order to prepare for a decisive battle with the Awa Miyoshi family.

Hosokawa Nobumoto immediately marched by land and water, leading 4,000 naval troops, 10,000 Saga, and Nerai to Tennoji Temple to participate in the military meeting convened by Oda Nobunaga.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the military discussion." Oda Nobunaga sat on the throne and motioned for Akechi Mitsuhide to act as the commentator, as he was the first to enter the battle, and he, together with Hosokawa Fujitaka and Hosokawa Fujiken, rescued Itami Castle and successfully repelled Nobuyasu Ataka and Araki Murashige.

"Yes! At present, the Awa Miyoshi family has a total strength of 13,000 men, and they have built castles around Noda and Fukushima, which are surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only the Ebie River in the north, and Tenmamori, Kawaguchi, Watanabe, Kanzaki, Kaminamba, and Shimo-Namba in the northeast. After preliminary testing by our army, it was found that the enemy had a large number of iron cannons, and it was suspected that the iron artillery team and naval army of the Zaga people had been hired, and the specific number of them was unknown at present. Akechi Mitsuhide began to elaborate on the military contrast between the two sides.

In addition, Tsutsui Shunkei of Yamato Province also responded to the Awa Miyoshi family, and was originally defeated by Matsunaga-sama. But just got the news that Kataoka Haruyuki of Kataoka Castle in Yamato Province rebelled and supported Tsutsui Shunkei again. ”

"There are also more than a thousand rebels led by Saito Ryuko and Nagai Michiri, who have also joined the Awa Miyoshi family." Saito Ryuxing, who participated in the incident of his own temple back then, now he doesn't know where he came from, like a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

"Humph! That waste! Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, he really didn't look down on his eldest nephew.

"At present, the total strength of our army has reached 34,000 people, and the naval army and iron artillery team are also very large, so it is recommended to advance by land and water, encircle Noda and Fukushima, and annihilate the invading Awa Miyoshi army." Akechi Mitsuhide finished the final summary.

Hosokawa Nobumoto sat down and looked at all the people who had come to participate in the battle, Tayama Akitaka, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, Matsunaga Hide, Wada Yushimasa, Ikeda Katsumasa, Itami Jinxing, Hosokawa Fujitaka, Hosokawa Fujiken and Akechi Mitsuhide, each of whom sent troops ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 troops, with a total of more than 10,000 reinforcements, and he himself also brought 4,000 sailors and nearly 10,000 Saga and Nerai.

In addition, there are two special people who have just come from Awa Miyoshi's family to surrender, and they are all coming for the daimyo of Hosokawa Nobumoto.

One is Kasai Yoshikiyo, a wealthy family of Sanuki country, this Kasai clan was originally a retainer of the older generation of Hosokawa genealogy, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Hosokawa", and the other three are the Kagawa clan, the Nara clan, and the Yatomi clan.

The other is Miyoshi Masakatsu, who was originally Hosokawa Nobumoto's cheap father, Hosokawa Harumoto's retainer, and Miyoshi Nagakei was his father-killing enemy. The most interesting thing is that his own brother turned out to be one of the "three good three" Miyoshi Masayasu.

Seeing this, Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but admire Oda Nobunaga's nerves, these two people are Sanuki who even have a territory on the other side of the sea, and the other is the so-called leading big brother, you are not afraid that these two people are spies, so let them participate in the military council with confidence.

"Command! Hosokawa Fujitaka led 1,500 people from his headquarters to build a position in Kawaguchi! "Oda Nobunaga began to make strategic deployments and assign tasks.

"Yes!" Those who shouted their names came out to receive the order.

"Command! Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujiken led 2,000 people from Kyoto to build a position on Nakajima! ”

"Yes!" Nakajima is actually a shallow shoal located on the east side of Noda and Fukushima, and is only accessible at low tide.

"Command! Takamasa Tayama and the mercenary Yukawa build positions in Katamaba and Shimonaba! ”

"Yes!"

"Command! Yumasa Wada led 1,500 people from his headquarters to build a position in Watanabe! ”

"Yes!"

"Command! Katsumasa Ikeda and Itami Kinko led 1,500 people from their headquarters to build a position in Kanzaki! ”

"Yes!"

"Command! Matsunaga Shu immediately led 2,000 people from his headquarters to return to Yamato Province and capture Kataoka Castle! After three days, you have to return! Together with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, he attacked the Ebime River by sea, and completely sealed the Awa Miyoshi Army in Noda and Fukushima! The transportation of personnel will be entrusted to the Hosokawa Navy! ”

"Yes!" Matsunaga showed the order, and his time was the most tight, not only to go back to eliminate Kataoka Haruyuki, but also to complete the encirclement of Awa's Miyoshi army in three days.

"Rokuro, you led the naval army of the headquarters to hold on to Tennoji, which is the mouth of the Kizu River, and is responsible for monitoring the battle with the waters of Osaka Bay. In addition, the mercenary Saga and Nerai are divided into two, one is still under your command, and the other follows the main camp to move to the Tenmanmori to build a position! "Because of this expedition, all the infantry troops of the Hosokawa family stayed in Sekigahara to hold on, so Oda Nobunaga arranged Hosokawa Nobunaga in this large rear far away from the battlefield.

"Yes! Your Majesty Commanded! Please rest assured, the Hosokawa Navy will defend Osaka Bay to the death, and will never let the Awa Miyoshi Army receive any sea assistance! Hosokawa Nobumoto was the last to receive the order, but deep down in his heart, it was not easy at all.

Although Tennoji Temple is about 5km from Noda and Fukushima, and there are Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka stationed in Nakajima in the middle, it seems that it is indeed the safest.

But Hosokawa Nobumoto knew that once the war began, many unstable factors would begin to appear, the most obvious example being Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which was only 1.5 km away from him!
