The meeting did not end because the reward was over, but Nobunaga said again: Now, the elite army of the northern family has been completely annihilated by the family, and the remaining peasant soldiers are no longer to be afraid, so I decided to divide the army into three routes, pointing directly to the northern family city - Okochi Castle, and if the southern Ise Hao clan along the road is willing to return to the family, then, as long as they hand over the hostages, they can keep their land, if they are the opposite, their family name will be wiped out, and there will be no possibility of revival. ”

After speaking, I heard him shout again: "Chai Tiankatsu, Sakuma Nobumori!" ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." The two of them heard the lord's roll call and hurriedly replied.

"I order the two of you to lead 2,500 troops each, attack the territory of the North Family in the east and west, collect and surrender the Southern Ise Hao clan along the way, and the retainers of the North Family, and those who resist will not be left behind, I will only give you two ten days, and after ten days, you will join the army of your own family in the city of Okochi, there is no mistake."

Shibata Katsuya and Sakuma Nobumori were overjoyed when they heard this, and in their opinion, the current military strength of the Southern Ise clan and the Northern family retainers had suffered heavy losses in the battle of Kabara, and even if none of the people of Southern Ise returned to their own family, they were confident that they would be annihilated within ten days.

So after the lord finished speaking, he and the two hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Nobunaga nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the two of them had answered simply.

This Ise strategy, since the beginning, he made a decision, after the annihilation of the North family, and then take Shima, this is because although Shima is a country, but the stone is only a few tens of thousands of stone, and now the Kumano naval army is weak, want to seize this place, it is a matter of hand, and don't look at Shima Stone is not high, but in Nobunaga's view, it is very important, if you can take more here, then Ise Bay will be all controlled by the Oda family, and the Oda family will no longer be afraid of the enemy attacking the territory from the sea.

As for the current lord of Shima Country, Kuki Yoshitaka, and the Kumano Navy under his command, Nobunaga not only did not intend to annihilate them, but after they surrendered, they also had to support their development, although the army of the family has been considered elite, but so far, there is no water army, although I don't feel anything now, but how should I annihilate Shikoku in the future, and those reptiles in Kyushu?

If you can recruit the Kumano Naval Army under your command, then this problem can be solved, and with your own support, the Kumano Imperial Army will definitely restore the prestige of the sunset.

And before they conquered Kyushu and Shikoku, they could also be on guard in Ise Bay to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the territory from land and water, which was a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and how could Nobunaga, who had always been shrewd, let it go.

Besides, Senbei actually married the cousin of Jiuki Kataka as a concubine by mistake, so he could rely on this relationship to return him to bed, if it was a few days ago, Nobunaga would never hand over this task that could earn great merit to Senbei, but now, Nobunaga has no worries.

Now the retainers' unhappiness with their reuse of Senbei has all dissipated without a trace, and most of the retainers who went out with the army have been rewarded for this Ise strategy, so even if they send the most suitable person to go to bed against the Nine Ghosts Kataka, the retainers should not have any complaints, and this task, even if it is their own compensation for him.

In Nobunaga's opinion, as long as the nine ghosts are not fools, then, even if he sends a retainer to sleep and return, he will not refuse, the destruction of the northern family is imminent, if he does not know the current affairs, then the Kumano naval army has only two ways to go, either to accompany the burial of the northern family, or to lead the ship to escape from Shima and be annihilated by other naval forces, since no matter which way is a dead end, then, why not take root in the Oda family to get a glimmer of life.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga's eyes look at the clan and said, "Senbei." ”…,

"The subordinates are here." Seeing that Nobunaga was finally willing to send a task to himself, he couldn't help but be happy, it seems that this crisis has finally passed, but, even so, then he can no longer be as publicized as he used to be in the future, look at Ikeda Hengxing, since he hit his own family, he has been steadily pressing himself, when he was a general, he was already a general, and when he was promoted, he was also promoted, and he completed countless tasks by himself, and worked hard to get rid of his current identity. But he has become an old man, and the clan is not blushing because of this, but has some insights when he sees this.

In the past few years, Ikeda Hengxing has been promoted faster than himself, but he has not caused the dissatisfaction of his retainers at all, but he can still get along with the retainers of the Oda family, and it seems that he is too much of a failure.

But think about it, too, before that, with a good knowledge of history, so I didn't pay attention to these retainers of the Oda family at all, and I have always been alone, except for the New Year, when I don't have a task, I will go to visit the mansion of my father-in-law, Shibata Katsuya, almost never even go to the door, let alone to maintain the relationship with the retainers of the Oda family, otherwise, I will not end up in such a situation.

In this way, it seems that he will have to spare some time in the future to maintain the relationship with the retainers of the Oda family, so as not to become the target of public criticism.

I only heard Nobunaga speak: "The importance of the Kumano Navy to the family is self-evident, if it can be returned, then, the family will have another strength, and while the territory is worry-free, it can also prepare for the future Shikoku and Kyushu battles in advance, so I decided to return to the Nine Demons Kataka to bring the Nine Demons Ietaka under my command." ”

Speaking of this, I saw Nobunaga first glance at the retainers, and then stared at the clan and said, "Senbei, the task of rebellious Nine Ghost Jialong will be handed over to you to complete, don't let me down." ”

After hearing this, the clan hurriedly saluted and said, "Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lord." ”

After the clan finished speaking, the retainers present did not have any dissatisfaction because of this, after all, the clan sect accepted the cousin of the Nine Ghosts Jialong as a concubine, and it was most suitable for him to go to this task, and they only blamed themselves for why they did not have such an opportunity to accept this woman as a concubine.

And most of the samurai who had just avenged the grievances of the clan sect were now relieved at noon, although they could not persuade the lord to seal it, but the lord gave him this task, and if it was completed, it would definitely be a reward.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this task is very simple, it can be said that even if it has nothing to do with the Nine Ghost Jialong, it can be easily returned, so that not to mention the Takayama Lord went to go, and the retainers saw that the lord had returned to his previous justice, and he couldn't help but say from the bottom of his heart: "The lord is wise." ”

"Okay, today's army will be repaired for another day, and tomorrow's army will march into South Ise in three ways and dismiss the meeting." After speaking, Nobunaga was the first to stand up and walk quickly towards the inner room.

The Omiya family of the Southern Ise Hao clan, due to the entry of the former head of the family, Omiya, devoted themselves to the development of the bow foot light team under his command, and spent ten years to create an elite bow foot light army of 100 people, which is called the elite, which is not too much at all.

They are all carefully selected by the big bow to enter the Tao, and they are fortunate to become a member of the Omiya family's bow ashigaru, this hundred ashigaru, everyone can make heavy rattan bows, plus they all wear armor, so they are called elites, not as good as the five hundred elites of the North family, but they can also be regarded as the second in the family.

However, Omiya Irido spent all his money on them, so the financial crisis of the Omiya family never improved, and the Omiya family no longer had extra money to recruit retainers. …,

When Omiya was alive, the retainer was only his son Omiya Jingren, and after he passed away, Omiya Jingren succeeded him, and the Omiya family also had no retainers.

In the castle tower of Asaka Castle, there are only two people sitting in the assessment room, and Omiya Keiren sits on the main seat, and it is Omiya Reiko who sits next to him.

When Omiya Jingren learned that his sister, who had always loved him, had chosen to become the enemy's concubine when his family was dying, although this was allowed by his father, he was still a little difficult to accept for a while.

And that's not all, my sister actually let herself abandon the North family and go to the enemy, if she agreed, wouldn't she become an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and in the future, what face would she have to survive in the world?

Before his father died, he had personally instructed himself to be loyal at all times, and as soon as his father was in the ground, he turned to the enemy, how could he not violate his father's last wishes?

Thinking of this, I only heard Omiyai even speak: "Sister, don't say more, I won't go to the enemy no matter what, even if I die." ”

"Da Zhicheng, why are you so troubled, there is only one bloodline left in your family now, if it is... If something happens to you, then who should inherit the Omiya family? And although my sister does not know the beliefs of your samurai, my sister knows that my father was killed by the person to whom you are now allegiated. Lord Takayama killed the murderer who killed his father, this is a great favor to my Omiya family, how come it became an enemy in the mouth of my younger brother, is it possible that you have been blinded by pedantry and can't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil? ”

After listening to these words, although he had to admit that what his sister said also made some sense, but as a samurai, even if the lord was confused for a while, how could he be resentful, otherwise, what was the difference between himself and those ordinary people.

He is a samurai, and he must always follow the spirit of bushido, and must not violate anything, otherwise, he is not worthy of being a samurai at all.

Thinking of this, I only heard Omiya Jinglian say firmly: "Sister, I have made up my mind, so I don't have to persuade everything." "Min
