In the big tent of the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu heard what Iwasari Youtong said so firmly, and couldn't help but say: "Oh? Tell us what you think? ”

"Back to the lord, the subordinates think that the family has dominated the for many years, but since the death of the first master, the people of the world have thought that my Miyoshi family has begun to go downhill, if this time does not hit the Oda army head-on, the people of the world will inevitably look down on the family, so the prestige of the family will also drop greatly

Besides, that Oda Nobunaga has only been in business for a few years, so what's so terrible, and even if the overall combat power of the Oda family temporarily exceeds that of the main family, but as long as it holds with the Oda family for a while, then the reinforcements will arrive, and then the family has tens of thousands of people, and it is a local battle, and it is not difficult to repel the Oda army. After Iwanari Yutong finished speaking, he looked at the lord excitedly, waiting for the lord's decision, if the lord agreed, then he would not hesitate to apply for the position of pioneer.

After listening to this, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu couldn't help but think about it seriously, for Ridge City, he is more inclined to have a decisive battle with the Oda Army, which can not only stabilize the family name, but also improve his prestige, since he succeeded to the family governor, he has been held by Matsunaga Xiu.

In the past few years, it can be said that there has been no action, although now Matsunaga Xiu is under pressure and has to withdraw from the competition for power, and the retainers are now all obeying his orders, but he can see that the retainers of his family still don't take themselves too seriously, and they urgently need a chance to perform to prove to the world that their abilities are not much worse than those of the ancestors.

However, for the decisive battle, although the army is more than the other party, but the combat power is not as good as the other party, if the battle fails, then not only can not make a name for themselves, so that others dare not underestimate them, but will be ridiculed by others, and then I am afraid that the retainers will look down on themselves even more.

If you say so, it is more safe to resist the enemy in the ridge city, although their performance is in the rules, but this is much stronger than failure, but if you do this, the world's power will inevitably look down on the family, if you let other forces feel that the family does not dare to fight to the death, I am afraid it will not be long, and other forces will also take advantage of the fire to rob, then the family will be tired of this, and where is there time to develop.

Alas, this is really a headache, what should I do? And after Iwaki Yutong finished speaking, he only listened to Miyoshi Nagaitsu, one of the three people, and added: "My lord, my subordinates think that what Iwanari-sama said is reasonable, and my subordinates also think that the Oda army should not be put like a mountain castle, but should defend against the enemy outside the country, and at present, the Oda army has not captured the Kannonji Castle, and the main army can take this opportunity to drive to the west of the Nagara River to line up, so that the Oda army will be arrayed against the water, and the morale will inevitably decline, and the Oda army will come all the way, and the army is exhausted, if at this time, the army of the family will attack it, It should be done well. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

"Lord, his subordinates think it is impossible, the elite of the Oda army is famous all over the world, and after taking the South Omi, it will inevitably be full of morale, and it is unwise to fight with it at this time, so the subordinates think that it is safe to resist the enemy in the ridge city, and please think twice."

"My lord, let's have a decisive battle with the Oda army."

"It's better to defend the city."

"Decisive battle!"

"Defend the city!"

In Miyoshi Nagakei's heart, Arakimura Shigege still has a lot of weight, this person has always been known for his resourcefulness, since he is hesitant, then why not listen to his advice.

I only heard Araki Murashige say: "I don't know what the will of the lord is? ”

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu didn't expect him to ask this question, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Of course, my ambition is to sweep the sea and make the Miyoshi family strong forever." ”…,

After hearing this, Arakimura nodded and said, "Since the lord has this ambition, then his subordinates think that he should have a decisive battle with the Oda family."

The subordinates thought that although this battle seemed to have the advantage of the Oda army, however, the advantage of the family had just been said by Lord Miyoshi, so the family was not without hope of winning this battle, and, as far as the subordinates knew, the Oda army after the conquest of Ise, and now the strength is still restored when the army will come to fight, this 13,000 people can be said to be the most powerful force of the Oda army, as long as it can be defeated, then the family can take advantage of the victory to pursue, first take the southern general, and then more Noo Yi, so that the stone height controlled by the family can exceed four million, There is no power in the world, and the world can be determined, this is the foolish opinion of the subordinates, and the Lord is invited to decide.

I have to say that as soon as Araki Murashige's words came out, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and most of the ministers present all felt their blood boiling, only to see Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's face flushed, and he stood up violently, firmly. Dao · I decided to have a decisive battle with the Oda family······"

"Report to the lord, Miyoshi Kang sent his command to come, and there are 100,000 urgent things to ask to see the lord."

After hearing this, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu couldn't help frowning, and the excitement just now calmed down. I heard him speak, "Call him in." ”

After a short time, I saw a junior samurai running in in a panic, and said anxiously while saluting: "Report to the lord, the big thing is not good, the Oda family will lead hundreds of people under the command of the Takayama clan to attack Iimori Castle, and when the subordinates came, the other party had already invaded the city, and I asked the lord to decide." ”

"Wh... What the? You... What are you eating, I just left the city with my army for two hours, and you lost the city, and where did the mountain army come from? Why didn't anyone find out about him along the way? Say it! ”

Seeing that the lord was angry, the low-ranking warrior only felt that his scalp was numb, and after swallowing his saliva, he spoke: "Return... Back to the lord, the Takayama army first used ninjas to steal into the city to open the city, and then enlarged the army into the city, but after receiving the news, Miyoshi Yasu-sama immediately gathered the ashigaru to enter the castle tower to refuse, the castle tower should still be in the hands of the family, and the lord was asked to return to the aid quickly. ”

"Order, the whole army immediately moved out to rescue Fansheng City."

"The lord can't, if you go back to the army to the city now, after the Oda army attacks, how to face the battle, there are only a few hundred people under the command of the Takayama clan, don't worry, the lord only needs to send a retainer to lead two thousand troops back to the rescue, you can defeat it, and you don't need to work hard, and please decide the lord."

"What the lord said is reasonable, and I think so under him, and my subordinates also think that if I return to the army now, it will definitely affect the morale of Ashigaru is morale, so my subordinates think that the army should continue to move forward, and only order the cities around Iimori Castle to send troops to rescue, and ask the lord to decide."

The reason why Miyoshi Yoshitsugu gave such an order just now was completely because he was carried away by anger, and after the retainers opened their mouths to persuade him, he also calmed down, only to hear him speak: "What you said is reasonable, Iwanari Yutong, I now order you to lead two thousand banners to rescue Iimori Castle as soon as possible, and immediately join the army after annihilating the Takayama army." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it." After answering, Iwaki Yuki quickly stood up and walked out of the tent.

And not long after he came out, he saw another junior warrior running in and said loudly: "Report to the lord, the mountain army has captured the city of Mana, and please ask the lord to decide." ”

After listening to it, Sankindyi almost fainted to the ground. The Takayama army is obviously attacking Iimori Castle in Hanoi, why did the kung fu of this meeting run to Settsu again, this Takayama clan is just a subordinate general of the Oda family, where did so many military forces come from, but now Mana Mountain Castle has indeed been lost, and now Miyoshi Yoshitsugu only feels anxious and has no way to start, but since the other party has taken the city, it is impossible not to send troops to recapture the city and annihilate the Takayama army. …,

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Nakagawa Kiyohide, you immediately lead 1,500 troops to support Settsu, and you must annihilate the Takayama army." ”

And as soon as he finished speaking, he saw another junior samurai running in, and said anxiously: "Report to the lord, the big thing is not good, the Takayama army has captured Tsuda Castle and Jiaoye Castle, and please ask the lord to decide." ”

"This... How is this possible! "I saw that Miyoshi Yoshiji was sitting on the main throne of the weak beach, is the Gao Shan Army a ghost, in just a short time of one pillar of incense, he received three reports, and the most important thing is that these four cities are in the territory of the two countries, how did he do it.

Could it be that he really dared to divide the military into several shares in his own territory? But in this way, the number of Gaoshan troops is scattered, how can they easily capture the city?

Thinking of this, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu really has no way at all, if he continues like this, how can he have a decisive battle with the Oda army?

I'm afraid that before I meet with the Oda army, the land under the rule of the family will be turned upside down by the Takayama army.

Thinking of this, I only heard him ask: "Everyone, in the face of this matter, I don't know what can be done?" ”

The family is in the light, and the mountain army is in the dark, the other party is attacking the city in the territory of the family irregularly, if it is placed in peacetime, it is not afraid, but now the army of the family is exhausted, and the defense of the cities is empty, if you want to solve this problem, there is only one way now, that is, to immediately disband the army, and defend the cities as usual.

But none of the people present dared to say this idea, after all, if the army of the family was disbanded on the spot, then the Oda army would be able to go straight to the country, not to mention this mountain castle country, I am afraid that even Settsu Izumi would be difficult to keep.

Therefore, no one dared to speak, and I saw that all the retainers lowered their heads, and among them, only one person looked as usual, and this person was Araki Murashige.
