In the months that followed, out of curiosity, the clan also participated in two battles, but he found it very boring. A group of bandits or robbers is only a dozen or twenty people, even if there are many, that is, about 4 or 50 people, and the 100 banners under his command only need a surprise attack, they will be scattered, and then they will be surrounded and killed, and there is no skill to speak of.

If you encounter a bandit on the mountain, this ashigaru is not easy to play, then let the ninja army go, anyway, where you pass, there is no bandit left.

Soon, the shadow of the bandits disappeared in Owari Ichikoku, and they were either exterminated or escaped from the territory of Owari.

Seeing that the bandits were exterminated, the clan was not satisfied, and he set his sights on the temple in Owari, where the monks and soldiers not only had a large number of weapons, but also the root cause of the outbreak. However, these monasteries have been passed down for decades or hundreds of years, and they are already deeply rooted, and it is a little difficult to move them. If this provokes a constant backlash, it will inevitably be blamed by Nobunaga, and it seems that it is necessary to ask Nobunaga for advice first.

Thinking of this, the clan immediately rushed to the castle tower of Cheongju City without stopping.

These days, Nobunaga was watching the progress of the implementation of the sword hunting order, and he was very relieved to see that the clan had not only confiscated the weapons in the hands of the villagers, but also took the initiative to exterminate the bandits. Just thought of the clan. I heard a servant shouting outside the door: "My lord, Lord Gao Shan is asking to see you outside the door." ”

"Let him in."

After the clan report, Nobunaga was very satisfied with this result, not only did he collect more than 1,000 weapons of various types, more than 100 pieces of armor, but most importantly, his control over Owari was greatly strengthened.

Just when Nobunaga was happy, he heard the clan say, "My lord, my subordinates wanted to practice sword hunting in the temple as well, but they have not taken action for the time being, so I have not taken action for the time being, so in addition to reporting, I would like to ask my lord for permission to eliminate this culprit." ”

A sect? Nobunaga has long hated these thieves, and in the past foreign wars, it was because of the existence of this gang of thieves that he could not exert all his strength, and always had to leave a large number of troops on defense, for fear that these temples would stab them in the back when their families went out.

Among them, the Kanshoji Temple on the border between Owari and Ise is the strongest. In addition to owning a large amount of land in the temple, the thieves of the temple also occupied the territory of 30,000 stones in Long Island City, and there were more than 1,000 monks. In addition to this momentum, the power of Mikawa Honshoji Temple should not be underestimated, and there are more than 1,000 monks and soldiers in other large and small Ichimune temples in Owari combined.

If that's all there is, Nobunaga doesn't pay attention to it, but these thieves are very capable of inciting the villagers. Once it breaks out, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble for the Oda family. At the very least, it will drag the footsteps of the family to the north to Mino.

Nobunaga glanced at the Takayama clan and thought to himself, he was still too young, and his idea was good, but after all, he didn't know much about the power of the Ichiyama clan, and it seemed that if this matter was handed over to him to be responsible, there would inevitably be chaos. Thinking of this, Nobunaga said to the attendants outside the door, "Call Takigawa Ichiyoshi." ”

It didn't take long for Takigawa Kazuyi to appear outside the living room of the castle tower at a trot. "Subordinate Takigawa Kazuki see the lord."

"Come in." As Nobunaga spoke, the door slammed open, and Takigawa Kazuki walked quickly over to Nobunaga and sat down.

Oda Nobunaga didn't talk nonsense with him, and said straight to the point: "The strength of the Ichijo Sect has now exceeded my tolerance limit, and now you are responsible for completely eradicating them." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates think that if you want to eliminate the threat of the Ichisuji sect, then you have to start with the temple first, as long as you uproot them......"

Nobunaga waved his hand, interrupted him and said, "How to carry out the strategy is your business, you don't have to report it to me, I just want the result, you can step back." ”

Takigawa Yiyi was bitter in his heart, he thought that the main guild would send a flag to help, but now it seems that the lord did not mean this, after a few months of separation of soldiers and peasants, Takigawa Yiyi used 10,000 stone Zhixing to recruit 700 flag ashigaru, although this has exceeded the minimum limit of 5 per 100 stone said by the lord, but if you want to use these 700 ashigaru to sweep away the strength of the Owari Ichijo sect, it is simply difficult to go to the sky.

Thinking of this, Takigawa Yiyi couldn't open his mouth and said: "My lord, I have always had a huge power in the sect, and my subordinates are afraid that they will be ...... for a while."

As soon as he said this, Nobunaga's eyes widened, and Takigawa Kazuki immediately didn't dare to continue, so he had to bear the bullet, in Nobunaga's opinion, although the monk soldiers were stronger than the ordinary peasant soldiers, but how could they be compared with the flag of the flag, so he didn't plan to send reinforcements to help.

******************************

At the same time, in the Owari Inuyama Castle Castle Castle Castle, Oda Nobukiyo was holding an assessment meeting, and I saw him sitting on the main seat in front of the assessment room, and on the two sides below sat more than ten retainers such as the lord of Kuroda Castle, the old Tanaka Shinsuke, the lord of Oguchi Castle, and the general Nakajima Toyogomori.

In the middle of the assessment room, kneeling was a samurai in his thirties, and he was none other than Mitsuken Karumi, one of the eighteen generals of the Saito family.

Many years ago, Oda Nobukiyo received an order from Oda Nobunaga to attack Iwakura Castle, and after the victory, he was only given 3,000 koku, so he became dissatisfied with Nobunaga. After that, I had the heart to take refuge in Mino.

I only heard Oda Nobukiyo slowly speak: "What am I going to do after I join the Saito family?" And what do you get? ”

Light Sea Guangxian smiled and said: "My lord, in the past few days, my lord has begun to mobilize, vowing to take Minamata City, and my lord only needs to send troops to help." As long as the lord is willing to surrender to the Saito family, after taking Sumamata Castle, he will go south to help you seize the position of governor of the Oda family. At that time, Saito and Oda will forever form an alliance and vow not to fight again, wouldn't it be better, I don't know what the adults want? ”

Oda Nobukiyo was moved by these words, he stood up, and kept pacing around the assessment room, Oda Nobukiyo was not a good thinker, so he didn't think about what method Saito Ryuko used to defeat Oda Nobunaga, even if he was defeated, why would he give Owari Ichikuni to others.

It was because he didn't think it through, so after a short period of thought, he decided to make enemies of Oda Nobunaga and defect to the Saito family. In his mind, the defenders of Sumamata Castle were only about 100 people, and even if he didn't wait for reinforcements from the Saito family, he could easily take it down, and at that time, the thousands of troops of the Saito family could drive straight from Sumamata Naga, and kill Nobunaga by surprise, and if he didn't get it, he could take off Nobunaga's head.

Soon, Oda Nobukiyo accepted Karumi Mitsuaki's proposal, and while dreaming, he began to mobilize and prepare to attack Sumamata Castle.
