After the two left, the clan also planned to say goodbye to Lin Tongsheng, although it was still very early before the time set by Nobunaga, but the sooner the matter was resolved, then he would be able to return to Takayama Castle a moment earlier.

But just when the clan was about to say goodbye, Lin Tongsheng said: "Qianbingwei, since you are about to marry Aiyuan and recruit two rebels as retainers, then you and the old man are not outsiders, so the old man can't help but plan for you." Well, since the Lord is just waiting for you to reciprocate, then you better go quickly, there will be a long time in the future, and there is no need to rush for a while. ”

"Yes, then after this battle is over, I will take my leave in Takayama Castle and take my leave."

When the clan left, Lin Tongsheng did not stay in the samurai mansion for long, but immediately returned to Nakono Castle to discuss with his eldest son about letting the monk governor, and he still does not know the way, it is precisely because of this decision that the Lin family's inheritance was preserved, and he escaped the fate of being exiled by Nobunaga.

In Gifu Castle, there is nothing to hide from Oda Nobunaga, when the clan clan just entered the Lin Tongsheng samurai mansion, he has already received the news, but the Takayama clan always has a shinobi secretly following him, so how dare the ninjas sent by Nobunaga in the city get close, so although he saw the clan walk in, he said to Lin Tongsheng, but it is not clear.

When Nobunaga heard the report, a smile finally appeared on his face, because he knew that when the clan came out of the samurai mansion, he would definitely understand his intentions.

"Report to the lord, Lord Takayama asks to see you outside the castle tower, and I ask the lord to decide." I only heard Naomasa outside the door say loudly.

"Don't let him get me in." Nobunaga listened. couldn't help but hurriedly restrained his smile and said.

As soon as the clan clan entered the living room, he couldn't wait to salute and said: "The subordinate Gaoshan clan sect has seen the lord, and the subordinates already know the meaning of the lord of the Dao, and the lord means to ......."

"Shut up, now that you've figured it out, then don't hurry up and fly away." Before the clan could finish speaking, he heard Nobunaga shout. He really didn't want to hear about these bad things anymore, as long as the clan knew what to do, then the goal would be achieved.

The clan saw this. I can't help but say, didn't you tell me to make it clear later, but now it's hard to figure it out. You don't listen again, even if you don't listen, you don't need to lose your temper, since you let me go, Lao Tzu just doesn't want to stay longer.

Thinking of this, I heard the clan quickly reply: "It's the lord, and the subordinates have retired." ”

With the departure of the clan, the living room was quiet, but this day saw that there was an undercurrent, and it was on the verge of exploding.

On May 27, 1568, six days had passed since the Oda family's pre-war assessment meeting. In these six days, the Oda family's army was exhausted, guarding the border city, and the Takeda family and the agreed forces were also ready for the most rear, and the battle was about to break out.

Although the movements of the Oda family have not yet been picked up by the Takeda family. However, the surrounding situation is very strong, and the Oda family is already ready for battle, and if the number of troops to fight against the Oda family is determined before, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the defense line that it has arranged.

In this way, not only will you not get any benefits, but if something happens, with Oda Nobunaga's character. They will definitely not let themselves go easily, so their original plan to gain benefits while preserving their strength first has failed.

Now they can't help but break the Fu Shenzhou and fight with it, if they can't destroy Oda this time, then it will be themselves who will perish, so each family has unanimously increased the military strength, the Asakura family originally planned to send an army of 5,000, but now they have to send another 2,000 troops, and the Hatano family army has also increased the military strength, and the total army has reached 5,000 people, and even the Miyoshi family has to draw out an additional 1,000 troops to make up 3,000 people. …,

In addition to these hostile forces, the two allies of the Oda family expressed their attitude at the same time, and after Tokugawa Ieyasu judged the time, he chose to stand firmly on the side of the Oda family, and at this moment gathered troops to prepare for battle, making a posture of fighting to the death with the Takeda family, in order to express his sincerity, even the reinforcements refused.

And Asai Nagamasa really thought to the clan, and chose not to help each other, but Kita-Omi and Oda, Asakura, are adjacent to each other, and next to Wakasa, in order to prevent the war from burning into the territory, so when others were preparing, Asai Nagamasa also mobilized troops to garrison the castle at the same time in case of trouble.

Speaking of the Takayama clan, at this moment, all the retainers of the Takayama family appeared in the assessment room of the castle tower without exception, and they knew what was the purpose of the lord to recruit all the others this time, so the atmosphere in the assessment room was very depressing.

When the clan came out of the inner room and felt that the atmosphere was so tense, in order to make the retainers relax, he said with a smile: "Everyone, according to accurate information, the total army dispatched by the Takeda family this time is 35,000 people, this news, I'm afraid it's the best news I've heard in the past year, Ha Luha." ”

After hearing this, the retainers not only did not relax, but became more nervous, 35,000 people? How could the lord still laugh, wasn't he frightened and abnormal.

Honda Masanobu, who was also seated, was a little puzzled at first, but when the lord smiled, he finally figured out why the lord was so happy.

I saw that he also changed the nervousness just now, not only did he relax, but also cooperated with the Takayama clan and said: "The lord means that the Takeda family will no longer send reinforcements to Hida?" ”

I only heard the clan continue to smile and said: "Ha Luha, exactly, the total strength of the Takeda family is only 35,000, and there is still a surplus army to be sent to Hida, so the enemy we are about to face is only 3,500 Takeda Army, 800 to 1,000 Jiangma Army, and 3 or 400 Hida Kunitaji monks, and the enemy's total army is not enough for 5,000 at most."

And the current army of the family has expanded to four thousand five, even if some troops are still sent to defend the cities, but there can also be four thousand to participate in the battle, although the army is slightly smaller, but in terms of combat power, the strength of the army is more than the other party.

At the same time, my Gaoshan family is on the defensive side, and in this battle, my family still has a slight advantage, isn't this the best news this year? ”

As the clan's words fell, the retainers of the Takayama family also breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the assessment room immediately relaxed, although they didn't know where the confidence of the lord of the road came from, but they had been running to Mizuse Uemon every day recently, but until now the reinforcements of the Takeda family had not arrived, and now there was a lord explaining that the two things were strung together, so they couldn't believe it.
