Chapter 549: The Source Cuts Off

According to the ninja report, after the envoy of the Ashikaga family arrived at Kofu Castle, the movement of the Takeda family began to be frequent, and now the military strength of Sunfu Castle has reached 10,000 people, and this is not counting, even in the Hida country, the garrison of the Takeda family has reached four thousand, and the military strength sent by the Uesugi family to Hizen has also been further expanded, and the clan clan has not much time left for him, if he does not attack Hida again, then the Takayama family will face an impregnable defense line.

So this general of Yamashiro Country, who likes to do the affairs of Kyoto, anyway, Lao Tzu said that he won't do anything, Nobunaga is right, everything is without strength.

And when he thought of this, he was listening to Nobunaga ask, "What happened to the group of thieves in Enryakuji Temple now?" ”

"Back to the lord, because the temples in the mountain castle have been destroyed, a large number of monks and soldiers have gathered in Enryakuji Temple, but according to the ninja's observation, the monks in the temple are just constantly reinforcing the defenses on Mt. Hiei, and they have no intention of sending troops to fight to the death with their own family."

Nobunaga nodded and said, "Now that they're all together, there's nothing left to do. Saying that, he looked at the Gaoshan clan, although it was true that he was leading the army now, but he didn't want to deprive the clan of the power to command, after all, now there was only the finishing touches left, and with the reinforcements sent by the Gaoshan family, even if he didn't have his own help, he could completely wipe out this temple.

And now that all the major forces in the world are ready to move, it is indeed not suitable for him to lead the army to stay here longer, so he still intends to continue to let the clan be responsible.

But before he could speak, he only heard the clan take the lead and say: "My lord, the reason why this battle can defeat the Ashikaga coalition is all due to the wisdom of the lord.

If it weren't for the fact that it took less than two days for Lord Akechi to completely defeat the coalition forces of the Minami Omi Temple and completely turn the tide of the battle, then even if this battle could be won, it must have been a tragic victory, so his subordinates thought that the attack on Enryakuji Temple would be an attack. Wise Lady is fully competent, so I ask for the lord's approval. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't expect the Takayama clan to carry forward his style so much, not only exaggerating his role in the battle, but also recommending himself to attack Enryakuji Temple in front of the lord. This is a pie-in-the-sky thing, although there are still a lot of monks on Mt. Hiei, but first, those monks have no morale soon after the new defeat, and second, they are only improvised patchwork, and it is not difficult to defeat them.

So after listening to the recommendation of the clan, he couldn't help but be stunned, but. Although he didn't know that Takayama-sama, who had always been on guard against him, would suddenly give him this great credit, he had no intention of giving up no matter what, at least he had to work hard to fight for it, maybe this was his chance to soar into the sky.

So when the voice fell, I saw him hurriedly step forward, salute and say: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to lead the army to level Mount Hiei, and I also ask for the lord's permission." ”

For wise light show. To be honest, Nobunaga didn't like it in his heart, but before his father-in-law died in Nagaragawa, he gave the last order. That is, he ordered all the cronies and retainers around him to turn to him after his death, and the other retainers did accept the order, and they all surrendered to the Oda family after the war, except for Akechi Mitsuhide, who did not appear in his sight after the war.

And since receiving the letter of allegiance from Akechi Mitsuhide half a year ago, Nobunaga has been haunted by the past, and in his mind, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't come to join him back then, not because he saw that the Oda family was weak and wanted to seek better development. But now that the Oda family has become stronger, and it has become the most powerful force in the world, he licked his face and came to serve allegiance, if it weren't for the countless persuasions of his wife Nohime, Nobunaga would never accept the allegiance of Akechi Mitsuhide, someone like this. Nobunaga hated it. …,

But in the end, he still accepted Akechi Mitsuhide, but only with acceptance, even if there is a clan proposal now, Nobunaga still made such a decision, wanting to be reused? Yes, but at least let me breathe out the evil breath in my heart.

Thinking of this, Nobunaga didn't even glance at Akechi Mitsuhide, and said to himself: "Sakuma Nobumori, you are solely responsible for the attack on Enryakuji Temple. ”

After speaking, he looked at Nachi Mitsuhide. "As for you, act as a lieutenant general in this battle."

"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." Although Akechi Mitsuhide was very dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga's approach, neither his eyes nor his face showed it, but he buried this dissatisfaction deep in the bottom of his heart.

And the clan felt incomprehensible to Nobunaga's approach, before Nobunaga led the army to arrive, he strongly recommended Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide to him, and now Hosokawa Fujitaka has been reused, and the ability is not inferior to his wise Mitsuhide should also be reused, Akechi Mitsuhide as a general, is enough to be the general of the Enryakuji Temple, and there is also his own recommendation, but the trusted chief gave this task to Sakuma Nobumori for no reason, this is indeed a thing worth pondering.

Could it be that Nobunaga doesn't like Akechi Mitsuhide now? But that's fine, the deeper the resentment between the two of you, the better it will be for the development of the Takayama family.

But if it was before, after the clan saw such a situation, he was only happy in his heart, but as he was in contact with Nobunaga for a long time, Nobunaga became more and more fond of himself, so every time Nobunaga took a step towards the abyss, he was not only happy, but also a little more unbearable in his heart, it can be said that as time went by, the clan became more and more hopeful? p>Moxibustion Qin Wheel Ash (5) Liao Fu M embarrassment and 谘影はchlor γ‚‘?p>

It can be said that before he just wanted to use Nobunaga, but now he has feelings for this moody person.

The assessment meeting is still going on, but the next thing, the clan didn't listen to a word, the entire second half of the meeting, he spent it in a tangled way, and even his own reward, the clan didn't care too much, although the battle was won, but it was not a big victory, and the losses of the Oda army were also quite large, so Nobunaga just praised a few words, and there was no substantial reward, and for the clan, now in addition to the land, other clans don't care anymore.

And when the evaluation meeting ended, the clan finally figured out that Oda Nobunaga's fate had already been arranged by history, even if there was no one, what should have happened would definitely happen, and the only thing he could do was not to add fuel to the fire, that's all.

Because the war in Yamashiro Province had been basically assessed before the arrival of the army led by Nobunaga, Nobunaga did not plan to stay here longer, and after three days, he set off to return, and the clan was also like an arrow, so as soon as the assessment meeting ended, he pulled Sakuma Nobumori back to Luozhong Castle in a hurry, and after the two handed over the must, he returned to leave here without hesitation.

However, Ji Lu planning could not catch up with the changes, just after the handover was completed, the Gao Shan Army had been packed up, and at the moment when they were ready to set off, they saw several fast horses galloping towards the direction of Luozhong City.

Seeing that he came, the clan was very relaxed, at least he would not bring news about the war, as long as there was no news about this, then it was good news, after all, the territory was empty now, and the Uesugi Takeda family had the strength of Hida at the same time, otherwise the clan would not have to be so anxious.

Seeing Yamada Nagamasa, the clan thought that maybe the crossbow had made progress, and it had been more than two years, and it should be able to be controlled. …,

In a good mood, the clan took him to an empty samurai mansion, but did not disband his army.

In the hall, when the two of them sat down, they only heard the clan sect ask, "Changzheng, what is the matter with your coming this time?" ”

"Back to the lord, the president of the Brut & Karl Chamber of Commerce arrived at the Kaimachi port three days ago, so he did not trade with his subordinates, but wanted to meet the lord in person, saying that there was something important to discuss with the lord."

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help frowning, although the boundary town is not far from the mountain city country, but this time, it will take at least a few days, and the last thing the clan wants now is to waste time.

So he planned to ask what was going on first, and if Yamada Nagamasa could solve it, then let him solve it, thinking of this, he only heard the clan ask: "Can he explain the reason?" ”

"Lord, Mr. Karl did not explain, and his face was very ugly, after his subordinates kept asking, only a sentence came out of Mr. Karl's mouth: You can't be the master, he just wants to interview the lord. The subordinates had no choice but to come and report to the lord, and ask the lord to decide. I only heard Yamada Nagamasa say helplessly.

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help frowning, since Carl said so, then it proves that this matter must be small, maybe it will be related to the cooperation between them, this is definitely not the situation that the clan wants to see.

Although the arquebus is sometimes inferior to a broadsword spear, and even when it rains, it is no different from a burning stick, but the clan knows that this arquebus is just an excessive product, and it will not be long before it will be replaced by a more advanced flintlock pistol, and there are also large barrels that will be introduced back to Japan after ten or twenty years, so the clan never wants to break off the connection with the Brut & Karl Chamber of Commerce.

And there is another point, the current iron cannon business has become the pillar industry of the Gao Shan family, purchased at a price of twelve times, and bought out of the iron cannon at a high price, because the iron cannon has been recognized by most of the forces, and the business of the Gao Shan family has also been on the right track, so the purchase of iron cannons from the Brut & Karl Chamber of Commerce is not just as simple as sitting on the ground and changing hands, the five hundred iron cannons in each transaction, in addition to leaving them for transformation, replacing the iron cannons with bad ones, and saving the number of them for expanding the army, Only a small part of the rest was sold to the merchants of Kai Town, and most of the iron cannons went to remote areas, which made the clan make a lot of money, so it was impossible to give up such a deal.
