Chapter Eighty-Five: Finding the Target
In fact, the idea of the clan is very simple, since he has a small army, even if he takes down the temple, he can't defend it, so he simply doesn't defend it, and just burns it with a fire, so that the enemy sees that the lair is burned down, and the morale will definitely drop greatly, and especially those believers who have always been in the sect, when they see that the holy land in their hearts is not only captured by the enemy, but also burned to ashes, how will they feel? At that time, I am afraid that most of the peasant soldiers will be dispersed, and in this way, won't the siege of the countryside be relieved?
However, when the clan finished saying what was in his heart, he saw Maeda Toshiya say in a panic: "Lord... Lord, this is absolutely unacceptable, please think twice. ”
Facing the direction of the temple, the clan said disdainfully: "Why not? If the temple is burned, the morale of the enemy will be severely damaged, and if you want to completely defeat the enemy, you must start with the enemy's faith, and if the spirit is deprived, then they will be vulnerable. ”
Although Maeda Toshiya is not very fanatical, he is also a believer in Buddhism, and he is resolute in listening to what the lord says, but he still can't help but persuade him: "My lord, although this plan can hit the enemy, but burning down the temple will be punished by heaven, and the lord must not do it." ”
After hearing this, his back was cold, and he suddenly thought of the incident of Oda Nobunaga's burning of Mt. Hiei, at that time, Nobunaga's power had reached the sky, and it was only a matter of time before the world was unified, but who would have thought that the last thing would end up with a tragic death, could it be said that it was a curse?
The clan sect, which has always been unbelieving in evil, couldn't help but have a cold war, but after thinking about it, he thought of Matsudaira Motoyasu, who almost bulldozed all the temples in the territory after the pacification of the whole history, but not only created the foundation of the Tokugawa shogunate for 260 years, but also lived to be more than 80 years old before he died.
The clan laughed at himself in his heart, Lao Tzu is also a person who crosses, and now how can he also be infected with the stinky problem of believing in a daze, since he has figured it out, so he no longer takes this seriously, but Maeda Toshiya can't, in his heart, this kind of god-worshipping Buddha thinking has been deeply rooted, and he must think of a way, if because of this matter, it will be a little imperfect to leave a shadow in his heart.
Thinking of this, the clan general Maeda Toshiya who was still kneeling on the ground gently helped him up, and said in a serious voice: "Again, I know that you are thinking about me, but in addition to the strategy of burning this temple, I am afraid that there is no other way to relieve the danger of the realization of the upper thoughts, and you should also know the way." ”
"But, my lord, ......"
Seeing that Maeda Toshiya still wanted to continue to persuade, the clan clan waved his hand to interrupt him, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps forward, he seemed to speak to Maeda Toshiya, and said as if talking to himself: "What joy in life, why is it bitter in death, even if my Takayama clan dies because of this incident, it can be regarded as loyal to the Oda family, isn't this the avenue that my generation of samurai people pursue?" ”
Clan's unfathomable words were completely said to Maeda Toshiie, and he knew in his heart that in this era, most samurai firmly believed that as long as they were loyal to the lord, they could become gods after their deaths, so many samurai would be martyred after the death of the lord, and some samurai would even smile when they seppuku, because they were thinking that they could finally get rid of the world and become gods.
After hearing these words, Maeda Toshiya was shocked in his heart, yes, what the lord said is right, even if he encounters the curse of God, what can he do, isn't it his greatest wish to be loyal to the lord?
I saw that Maeda Toshiya, who had just been helped up, knelt down again, his face had changed from the panic just now to the current perseverance, and he only heard him say firmly: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to set fire to this temple with their own hands, and I also ask my lord to approve it." ”
Seeing that the knot in Maeda's heart was finally untied, the clan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and said, "Okay, but everything will have to wait for the report to come back." ”
While the clan was waiting for news, Wasuka Masakatsu, who was the first to enter Mikawa, had already ordered a hundred ninjas under his command to change into peasant clothes and disperse around Mikawa to listen to the news of Honda Masanobu, and he himself also led several ninjas to collect information in person.
To say that his luck was not bad, two hours later, he had already inquired that Honda Masanobu was in the army he had mixed into.
Wasuka Masakatsu was curious in his heart, he wanted to see what was the difference between this person named Honda Masanbu that would make the lord pay so much attention to it. However, when he came to Honda Masanobu a few dozen meters away, after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be disappointed, first of all, he said that this Honda Masanobu was not outstanding in appearance, and his body was thin, if it weren't for the sword inserted in his waist and the belly roll he was wearing, he really couldn't tell that he was a samurai. ,
Wasuka Masakatsu thought to himself, how could he offend the lord with Honda Masanobu's thin body, although the lord did not know martial arts, but he also had some brute strength, and it should be a gesture to defeat Honda Masanobu. Could it be that he is a talent that the lord fancies? Wasuka Masakatsu shook his head, it shouldn't be, just Honda Masanobu's respectful face, no matter how I look at it, I can't see that he is a talent, alas, I really don't know what the lord of the road thinks, but whatever, anyway, he just needs to complete the task of the main bus generation, and other things are not in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Wasuka Masakatsu didn't bother to think about it, and immediately whispered to the ninjas around him: "You go and gather the ninjas scattered all over the place." After saying that, he looked at the other ninja and said, "You immediately go and report to the lord, just say that Honda Masanobu has been discovered, and his subordinates are mobilizing manpower to prepare for action." ”
An hour later, the first thing to appear was not the two Ashigaru who had been sent to find out the news, but a ninja sent by Masakatsu Mesuka.
The ninja ran up to the clan and reported, "Report! My lord, Lord Wasuka has discovered the traces of Honda Masanobu, and now Lord Wasuka is gathering the ninja army scattered all over Mikawa to act as soon as he has the opportunity. ”
Hearing that Honda Masanobu has a whereabouts, the clan can't help but be overjoyed, he is here for him this time, and now there is no shortage of generals under his command who can fight well, and there is no shortage of capable ministers who are proficient in government affairs, but there is a lack of resourceful people like Honda Masanobu, if he can recruit Honda Masanobu under his command, then he will undoubtedly be much easier in the future.
The clan said solemnly: "You immediately return to Wasuka Masakatsu and tell him that if he is absolutely sure, he will do it again, and he must succeed at one time, and he will never allow Honda Masanshin to be hurt in the slightest." Do you understand? ”
"It's the lord, and the subordinates will definitely bring the lord's words to Lord Wasuka as they are, and the subordinates will retire." After saying that, the ninja saw that the lord no longer had orders, and immediately rushed towards the east again.
