Chapter 213 Priorities

And when Wasuka received the information that the Takenaka Hanbei attacked Inabayama Castle, he also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't dare to delay anything, and immediately asked the ninja to report to the lord.

However, due to the fact that in this era, the news was very inconvenient to transmit, when the ninja came to Owari Kiyosu Castle, the lord had already set off for Kita Omi, just arrived in Kita-Omi, and only after inquiring did he know that the lord was in Yumori City, but who knew that after the ninja arrived at Yumori Castle, the lord had already left here and arrived in Kotani Castle.

In order to let the lord get the news as soon as possible, the ninja didn't have time to rest, so he left for Kotani Castle, but what he didn't expect was that this time he still pounced, and not only did he not see the lord, but the defenders in Kotani Castle thought that this ninja was an assassin sent by another country, so he almost lost his life, but although he finally escaped, he also lost the news of the lord.

After another two days, he saw that the samurai of the Asai family were mobilizing Ashigaru, and in curiosity, he went to inquire and found out that the lord was now in the mountain castle of Sawa, and after getting the exact location of the lord, he had to embark on the road to the west.

Fortunately, Nasa and Yamashiro were not too far away from Mekada Castle, and a day later, after countless air fights, the ninja finally appeared in front of the lord with great difficulty.

When the clan learned that this matter was not hidden by the ninja under his command, but because he did not find himself and delayed time, even if he wanted to be angry now, it was not good to be angry directly at this ninja, it was not his fault, and he could only blame the communication of this era for being too underdeveloped.

After the lord let go of his hands, the ninja hurriedly knelt on the ground again, he had never seen the lord so angry, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue, only to see him bow his head, close his mouth, and quietly kneel on the floor waiting for the lord's punishment.

However, what he didn't expect was that after the clan had calmed down for a while, his tone of voice became calm again, and he only heard him say lightly: "You can't blame you for this, and you don't have to blame yourself." After speaking, the clan asked solemnly: "Let me ask you, do you know what happened after the Zhuzhong Half-Guards captured the city?" ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates heard that the Takenaka Hanbei did not rebel, but used this to persuade Saito Ryuxing to work hard and change the status quo of the Saito family, so as to resist the attack of the Oda family, so, two days later, under the greeting of the retainers of the Saito family, Saito Ryuko returned to Inabayama Castle, and Ando Mamoru who assisted in the capture of the castle did not appear among these people, since he got the news of Saito Ryuxing's return, he withdrew his troops from Inabayama Castle and returned, and he did not go out all day in the northern castle of Jucheng, and did not see guests.

And that Takenaka Hanbei is the position of the governor of the family after passing on to his younger brother, chose to live in seclusion, subordinates in the North Omi after the beginning, but also have been paying attention to this matter, now to find out the accurate news, the current Takenaka Hanbei is living in seclusion in the castle town of Ibukiyama Castle, about this matter, the subordinates have heard these news, and ask the lord to decide. ”

Speaking of this, the ninja hurriedly said: "Lord, these news were heard by his subordinates many days ago, and now whether the Takenaka half-soldier is still in the castle town of Ibukiyama Castle, the subordinates dare not guarantee it, and ask the lord to punish him." ”

The clan sect didn't care about him, and shouted directly outside the door: "Keiji, go and prepare, I'm going to meet the Asai Hall soon." After saying that, the clan had already strode out of the main hall gate and went straight to the castle tower of Mukada Castle.

"Report to the lord, the lord of the Takayama clan has something important to see outside the castle tower, and I ask the lord to decide." Outside the door of the living room in the castle tower, a chamberlain reported in a loud voice.

Seeing that the Takayama clan had just left here, Asai Nagamasa asked to see him again, thinking that something had happened, so while wearing his clothes, he said, "Zhilu Dao, let Takayama-sama wait in the assessment room for a while, and I'll go over." ”

In the assessment room of Mekada Castle, as soon as Asai Nagamasa sat down on the main seat, he listened to the clan sect and said directly: "Asai Palace, now that the hexagonal army has been repulsed, there is absolutely no possibility of sending troops in the short term, and this Kada Town is also under the control of the main hall, it can be said that the purpose of this army has been achieved, and my lord is still waiting to return to the next report, so the clan does not dare to stay for a long time, and I have come to resign to the main hall today." ”,

Asai Nagamasa saw that it was getting late now, and this time the Takayama clan could be said to have done him a great favor, if he didn't say anything, if he let him go, it would inevitably make the world look down on him, but he came to fight this time, and it can be said that he has nothing to do, and it seems that at least let him return to Kotani City by himself, and then leave.

Thinking of this, I only heard Asai Nagamasa say sincerely: "Lord Takayama came this time, although it was not for a long time, but it helped Nagamasa a lot, no matter what, please stay a few more days, and after Nagamasa has fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, it is not too late to leave, I don't know what Takayama-sama thinks?" ”

After saying that, Asai Nagamasa wanted to look out of the door again, and continued: "Lord Takayama, if it is too late today, if the adult leaves at this time, Nagamasa is really not at ease, and this time when the adult came, the family has already been a little neglected, and now Nagamasa can let the adult rush overnight, so let's do it, if the adult summons to leave, then Nagamasa will lead the army back to Kotani Castle within two or three days, and have a good time with the adult." ”

Not to mention two or three days, it is a moment, and the clan does not want to stay any longer, although he will definitely get a lot of benefits by going to Kotani City with him, but even if he gives him a city, it is not as important as the Takenaka half-guard.

After listening to Asai Nagamasa's persuasion silently, the clan did not change his mind at all, in the eyes of the clan, the intelligence of the Takenaka Hanbei is not comparable to a city or even a country, if he can get his assistance, it is not too difficult to seize the world, and if he did not live for more than 30 years in history, he died for a long time, with his resourcefulness, after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, how could he let the old turtle take over the world, maybe it will not be more than 200 years of the Tokugawa shogunate in the history textbooks in the future, Instead, it will be changed to Toyotomi for more than 200 years.

And he not only knew that he died because of tuberculosis, but also knew the time of his illness, in this era, tuberculosis is not an incurable disease, as long as it can be treated in time, or prevented in advance, he will not leave this world when the spring and autumn are victorious. And in this world, only he can save his life.

Thinking of this, I only heard that the clan sect still firmly excused himself and said: "The main hall, now that the two families have formed an alliance, it is also appropriate to help the Asai family in the next, so the shallow well hall does not need to rise, your kindness, the clan has a heart, and there will be a chance in the future, and he will definitely come to disturb him, however, there is another reason for returning in a hurry, and he has just received a report from his subordinates, and the feud Ji Xiaolu Lai Gang is leading the crowd to attack the territory of the mountain city, and he is really a little worried, so he will come to the hall late at night to resign, and I hope the hall can understand." ”
