Just as the clan sect issued an order, the army under his command reorganized and was about to start, only to see a war horse from a distance, galloping towards his side quickly.

The clan and the others looked at each other, and the person who came was an iron thorn rider, and when they saw that he was just riding alone, the clan was overjoyed, and it seemed that the Maeda Toshiya had taken down the county Hachiman Castle.

Sure enough, as expected, I saw that the iron thorn rode ashigaru to the front, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully after saluting: "Report to the lord, Maeda-sama ordered to report to the lord in the next place, the county Hachiman Castle and the subordinate Sagiyama Castle have been opened and surrendered, and Maeda-sama has not stayed in the city, but has already led the people to Toyama Castle, and asked the lord to move to the city." ”

The clan looked very excited after hearing this, after all, the task given to the Maeda Toshiya was only to capture the Gujo Hachiman Castle, and now in less than a day, he has overfulfilled the task, even if the mountain castle wants to resist, it is impossible to block the attack of the Iron Thorn Cavalry, according to this, the 8,000 stone Zhixing under the jurisdiction of the Gujo Hachiman Castle has basically been completed, and this progress makes the clan very satisfied. I only heard him speak: "Okay, I know the way, go back and tell the Nakamura Ichishi clan, let him investigate the situation of these three cities as soon as possible, and prepare to repair the three cities." ”

I only heard the iron thorn rider Ashigaru replied respectfully: "It's the lord, the subordinates will return to the county of Hachiman Castle, and bring the lord's orders to Nakamura-sama, if the lord has no other orders, then the subordinates will retire first." ”

"Go ahead."

When the clan leader of the remaining army appeared outside Gujo Hachiman Castle, Maeda Toshiie had already led the Iron Thorn Rider to meet him outside the city gate, and Nakamura Kazushi did not stop much after watching Gujo Hachiman Castle, and went directly to the remaining two castles to check and prepare for the transformation.

In these three days, not only did he take the three cities of Hachiman Castle and other three cities, but he also defeated all the North American Noho clans, so that the North American Noi Realm was owned by the Oda family from now on.

The castle was built on the 354-meter-high Hachiman Mountains, with a high and thick castle wall and a wide gate that could accommodate six horses in parallel to enter and exit.

At the foot of the mountain is the castle town, and there is a training center built on the mountainside that can accommodate thousands of ashigaru residences and training, and the top of the mountain is not only the majestic castle tower, but there are also a number of samurai residences, and from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is only a straight mountain road paved with stone steps.

If it is late today, whether it is the retainers or the ashigaru after many days of travel and a day of fighting, they are now exhausted, so after arranging the defense, the clan did not immediately hold a meeting, but let the retainers and Ashigaru rest, and it is not too late to say anything tomorrow.

As soon as the sky dawned on the second day, Keiji Maeda outside the living room reported loudly: "The lord of the newspaper was asked to see him outside the castle tower by the head of the seventeen wealthy families in Minong. ”

"Zhilu said, tell them to wait in the assessment room, and I'll go over." The clan had long known that those wealthy clans would not be able to stay in their territory in peace, and they would definitely come to visit today to probe their own style, so he had already gotten up and waited for them a long time ago.

As the clan thought, the samurai of the wealthy clans in North America have been restless since they led their troops back to their respective territories yesterday, although the Takayama clan is not more embarrassed, but it is because he is in a hurry to attack the 800 army led by Endo Morishu, in case after the battle, if he changes, it will not be far from the day of the destruction of the family.

The thoughts of the wealthy clans are basically the same, so that night, they all went to Hachiman Castle in the gun, and today they have to finalize the matter of the territory no matter what, and they don't want to live a day like this. …,

After the head of the wealthy clan waited anxiously for a stick of incense in the assessment room, the clan was late, and after he sat down, he saw Aoyama Keimasa take the lead in taking out a thin satin codex from his arms, raising it above his head with both hands, and said respectfully: "Takayama-sama, this is a letter of allegiance from the Aoyama family to the Oda family, and there is a Lao-sama Takayama to report to Owari Mamoru on his behalf. ”

As soon as his words fell, the other sixteen heads of the wealthy families followed suit, and all of them respectfully bowed down and raised their hands above their heads, and said, "I am also willing to pay allegiance to the Oda family in the lower ranks, and I also ask Takayama-sama to present this item to Owari Mamoru Lord." ”

The clan clan turned his head and glanced at Maeda Keiji beside him, and Maeda Keiji immediately understood, walked quickly to the heads of the wealthy clans, collected the codex in their hands one by one, and put it in front of the clan.

The clan didn't open these codexes, and even if he didn't open them and look at them, he would know what was probably written in the Dao, so he didn't do anything else. I only heard the clan unexpectedly smiled and said to the head of the wealthy clan: "Hehe, you have come from afar, it is really hard, now you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the clan will definitely have a lot of good words for you in front of the lord, although the clan does not dare to promise you a reward, but it is not difficult to continue to keep the territory under your rule, please relax, we will all be a family in the future, so we don't have to be so polite." ”

Before coming here, the head of the wealthy clan had already prepared to be scolded by the Gaoshan clan, after all, on the battlefield yesterday, the face of the Gaoshan clan was extremely poor, and the language was also very bad, if he didn't want to annihilate the eight hundred ashigaru of Endo Morishu as soon as possible, I am afraid that this scolding would have been suffered yesterday.

But who would have thought that it had only been a few hours, and his attitude towards himself had completely changed, not to mention that he didn't say anything abusive, and he didn't even say a word of ugly words, when did the red ghost become so easy to speak? None of the people present now knew what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, and they were afraid that this was a trick under the Gaoshan clan, so in order to avoid falling for his tricks again, everyone just said that they didn't dare, but they didn't dare to say more.

However, their thoughts are a bit like a villain's heart, although the clan is not a gentleman, but yesterday I had already figured it out very clearly, even if I killed all the people in front of me, it would not be considered disobeying Nobunaga's orders.

But why should he be a villain, and besides, although he can kill them, but they have already been submitted, then he has no right to change him, since he can't, then he can only have a good relationship with them, for the sake of the eight thousand stone Zhiyuki of Hachiman Castle in the county, the clan must also be friendly with these wealthy clans.

And Nobunaga didn't say it, but the clan is also like a mirror, Nobunaga's strategy for North American thick is to win in stability, he doesn't want North American thick to become a pot of porridge, otherwise he won't let himself only take the strongest and strongest Endo Morishu, and he didn't send himself to carry out the North American thick strategy.

When the clan arrived in North America, it occurred to him that Nobunaga's intention to transfer his knowledge and deeds here was nothing more than to use his notoriety to suppress these wealthy clans and force them to declare their allegiance to the Oda family, so that Oda Nobunaga could not only obtain the entire territory of North America, but also maintain stability here, which is why the clan dared to promise the samurai of the wealthy clan just now that they could at least keep their territory.

In order to dispel the doubts in the hearts of the wealthy clans, the clan couldn't help but shout loudly outside the assessment room: "Come on"

After hearing this shout from the clan, the warrior of the Hao clan in Cheng couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, what did the Gaoshan clan mean? Is it to kill us on the spot, and it can't be wiped out, many Hao clan warriors thought of the times, and they moved their hands to the hilt imperceptibly, if the Gaoshan clan really wanted to be unfavorable to themselves, then they had to resist desperately, even if they died again, they had to pull the Gaoshan clan as a backstop. …,

However, these people thought about it, if the Gaoshan Clan Sect really wanted to kill themselves, they would have already done it yesterday, so why wait until today? And he has to risk his life, he can think of things himself, how can the famous Owari no Fox not understand? It seems that it may have other intentions, it seems that they are too careful, thinking of this, they have already held the handle of the knife tightly, and they can't help but relax.

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." Just as the warriors of the wealthy clan were speculating, a person who was standing guard outside the assessment room walked briskly into the room, came to the clan, knelt on the ground and saluted.

After pointing to the thick stack of allegiance certificates in front of him, the clan said: "This is to explain the allegiance of the wealthy families in North America, you immediately present this thing to the lord and report to the lord, the county Hachiman Castle has been captured by the clan, and when the North American rich clan was in the war, they set things right and led the people to return to the Oda family, making it difficult for Endo Morishu to be alone, because of this, the clan was able to defeat it in one fell swoop, and the clan did not dare to take credit, the reason why this battle was so smooth was because of the merits of the North American rich clans. ”

After speaking, the clan ignored the grateful gazes of the wealthy warriors present, and after letting the wealthy clan digest his words, he asked directly, "Have you ever written it down?" ”

Although the ashigaru has a low status, but he knows the joints of the Dao, these wealthy families in front of him are obviously after the general trend has gone, only to return to obedience, he really can't understand why the lord wants to give them the credit, but how can he be a little ashigaru can interfere, he doesn't even have the courage to advise, he also knows deeply, his task is to memorize what the lord said, and then report to the hall, as for other things... Anyway, the lord will never suffer.

This ashigaru has a good memory, and he memorized what the clan just said, and it was exactly the same, and the clan nodded with satisfaction, and waved him to the ...... of Owari.
