After listening to this, the retainers understood the intention of the lord, and there were as many as 800 monks and soldiers in Teruren Temple, of which there would be 700 for the elite of Honganji, although the army of the family was nearly twice as large as the enemy, but at present, Kagawa Tadaji did not come back from Kaimachi with armor, so the retainers also had no score in their hearts, but they would not back down because of this, so no one wanted to quit.

And they didn't say it, but it didn't mean that the two military advisors didn't say it, but they only heard Honda Masanobu speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that the newly recruited Ashigaru has no armor, and if they are allowed to fight in cloth, I'm afraid the casualties will increase greatly, so my subordinates think that it is okay for them to wear the original Ashigaru armor first, although there are still some gaps, but even so, the casualty rate will be greatly reduced, this is the humble opinion of the subordinates, and please ask the lord to decide." ”

The clan clan originally planned to let those new recruits go to practice their courage, not to let them die, if there were really heavy casualties, I am afraid that no one would be more distressed than the clan sect, so as soon as Honda Masashi said it, the clan agreed to his suggestion without even thinking about it.

I only heard the clan sect speak: "Just do what the military advisor says, let the ashigaru people have a good rest today, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Report to the lord, Kagawa-sama asks to see you outside the castle tower, and I ask the lord to decide." Just as the clan was about to announce the dissolution of the meeting, a flag warrior walked in quickly and opened his mouth to report.

The clan couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, this is really thinking about something, just now I was still worried about the armor of the ashigaru, but who knew that as soon as I was worried, Kagawa Tadaji came back, and now there is no news that can make the clan more happy than this.

I heard him quickly speak: "What." Tadaji Kagawa is back? Let him in. ”

After the flag warrior left, the clan also regained his composure, to put it mildly, Kagawa Tadaji has only been away from Hida for only twenty days, even if he rides a horse, he has to travel day and night, and there can be no delay to catch up, it seems that this time he has suffered a lot.

A moment later. Tadaji Kagawa walked in from outside, and when he looked at him, he almost didn't recognize him.

I saw that his hair was scattered. His eye sockets were sunken, and even his cheeks were sunken, especially his body. Because Kagawa Tadaji has been in the rear for a long time, he has been a little blessed, and now that he looks at it, he is even thinner than when he first followed him, plus the dust on his face and the dirty clothes on his body that can no longer be dirty, if it weren't for his voice not changing, the clan is really a little unrecognizable.

"The subordinates saw the lord, fortunately fulfilled their mission, and the subordinates purchased thousands of sets of armor and weapons from Naya and Tianwangya, and the lord who received it from the mouth of the Takayama clan has designated Takayama Castle as a residential city. Therefore, the subordinates also transported the armor and weapons, but fortunately, before the Takeda family attacked, the subordinates of the thousands of armor weapons had already ordered people to put them in the warehouse, and asked the lord to check them. ”

"Well, it's just the right time. You've worked hard all the way, and after the family takes all the Hida, there will be a heavy reward, so you go down and rest first. ”

"It's the lord, and his subordinates will retire first." Tadaji Kagawa had never felt so tired in his life.

Before he returned, he was afraid that the Takeda family had already attacked. So he has been persevering, and now he sees that he has not made a mistake, and he is finally relaxed, but it is precisely because of this that he suddenly feels exhausted, he has been more than 20 days, in order to save time, he only rests for two hours a day, only eats one meal a day, and even sometimes can fall asleep while riding a horse, so when the clan finished speaking, he didn't say much, got up and was about to leave, but when he just stood up, he only felt that the sky was spinning, his eyes were full of stars, one did not stand firm, and he fell to the ground, and fainted.

"Come, quickly take Kagawa Tadaji down to rest, find the best pharmacist in the army to treat him, go quickly." Seeing Kagawa Tadaji fall to the ground, he heard the clan hurriedly shout. …,

When the Hachimoto samurai who was guarding the door heard this, one of them immediately walked in and carried Kagawa Tadaji out of the house, while the other hurried to find the Yakushi.

When the noisy assessment room was quiet again, the clan sect was in no mood to say anything, he just asked the retainers to go and fetch their own armor and weapons, and then announced the dissolution of the meeting.

And he hurriedly walked towards the samurai mansion where Kagawa Tadaji was.

"How's it going?" When he saw that the pharmacist of the army had not woken up after the diagnosis, Kagawa Tadaji had not woken up, and he couldn't help frowning and asked the pharmacist.

"Back to Takayama-sama, the villain has carefully examined, Kagawa-sama is not sick, but it will be so due to too much overdraft recently, and now Kagawa-sama needs most is rest, as long as he recuperates, it will be fine."

After listening to the pharmacist's words, I heard him ask again, "Since he is not sick, why is he still unconscious?" ”

"Back to Takayama-sama, Kagawa-sama is not unconscious, but ...... Instead, he fell asleep. After hearing this, the clan walked up to Kagawa Tadaji to take a closer look, and saw that he was breathing evenly, and he was indeed asleep, so he finally put his mind at ease.

It seems that his spirit has been too tight these days, and he can't even tell the difference between sleeping and being in a coma, and after he captures the whole territory of Hida, he will have to rest for a while.

Since Kagawa Chuji was fine and asleep, there was no need for him to stay any longer, and after a few words of instruction to his wife, he left the samurai mansion with the yakushi.

As soon as the second person was at dawn, the clan sect came to the training ground at the foot of the mountain neatly, and at this time, the army under his command was already ready to go.

The 1,500 newly recruited ashigaru had a strange look on their faces after putting on the armor, and they were afraid that only samurai adults could wear this armor on their own ears, and now they were wearing it, and if they returned to the village wearing this armor, they would definitely surprise their families.

The clan understands their mood very well, such armor may not be available even to low-level samurai, let alone the Hida who have always been poor.

Just as the clan was about to lead the army to set off, he saw the inner island clan running in from the outside in a hurry, only to hear him speak: "My subordinates heard that the lord was going to lead the army to destroy the Zhaolian Temple, so they hurried here. The lord, the teachings of the abbot of Zhaolian Temple have some roots with the family, and now the Takeda family is eyeing the city of Fangka, and the subordinates think that the army should not move lightly at this moment, if the lord believes in the subordinates, the subordinates are willing to go to the Zhaolian Temple to persuade the doctrine, and ask the lord to decide. ”

The reason why the Nechijima clan will intercede for the Teruenji Temple is because the help of this temple to the Uchijima family is indeed not small, and the Uchijima family was not destroyed by the Ji Xiaolu family who wanted to unify Hida, and it can be said that the Teruren Temple has contributed a lot, but since the doctrine of the Teruenji Temple came to power, it has gradually become far away from the Nechijima family, but even so, the Uchijima clan does not want to see it turn into ashes, so after hearing the news yesterday, he immediately rushed to protect the Teruren Temple.

And after listening to it, the clan didn't want to refute the face of the Uchijima clan, but the existence of Teruenji Temple caused a great threat to the family, and the clan thought that it was not only colluding with Takeda, but also had the assistance of Honganji, even if the Uchijima clan went to persuade him, the other party would definitely not accept his proposal, even if he accepted it at the time, but who could guarantee that this was not his expedient measure, he had the name of the Buddha's enemy, and in the eyes of those monks, he was a demon, how could those monks and soldiers return to their own family, and even if they wanted to, The hundreds of monks and soldiers at Honganji Temple will never agree, so the best solution is to destroy it, only in this way can the stability of the territory be guaranteed. …,

Thinking of this, I saw that the clan shook his head and said: "If it is someone else, the monks of Zhaoren Temple may still be obedient, but I am the enemy of the Buddha in their eyes, and the seven hundred reinforcements of Kaga Honganji Temple have also arrived, if you go, not only can you not persuade them to submit, but you will also have to worry about your life, so this battle is inevitable, you don't need to say more." ”

After listening to this, the Uinejima clan thought that the feud between the lord and the Pure Land Shin Sect had long been unresolved, and he was saying to the lord that if he really went, it would probably not be so easy to come back, and if it was the first abbot, he might still insist, but since the succession of the teachings, the relationship with the family is not harmonious, so why should he excuse him again.

Thinking of this, I only heard the Nechijima clan speak: "What the lord said is that if the lord has no other orders, then the subordinates will retire first." ”

Now that the army has been prepared, and the Uonejima clan has the heavy responsibility of defending the island city, the clan sect will not keep him, watching the back of the Unejima clan leaving farther and farther away, the clan will no longer delay, and immediately order to go out.

Lianzhao Temple is located in the northwest of Songcang City, between Songcang City and Guiyun City, the clan and his retainers led 1,500 troops to march for a day and a half, and finally came to the peak of the mountain where Zhaolian Temple is located.

If you go forward to Erli, it will be the land under its jurisdiction, so the clan clan immediately tied up the military momentum, let them rest first, so as not to affect the combat power because of the excessive physical strength consumed on the road, if you change the original Ashigaru clan of the family, you will not worry, but these newly recruited ashigaru training time is still short after all, so he can't act carelessly.

As for how to fight this battle, the clan does not have too many ideas, the army under his command is nearly twice as much as the enemy, most of the previous family used sneak attacks, because the army is at a disadvantage, can not be done, and this family has a great advantage, and this time it is for training, so the clan intends to attack head-on, with the continuous enrichment of the army, there will be more and more frontal battles with the enemy in the future, so it is necessary to let the army adapt as soon as possible, and the scale of the Zhaolian Temple is too small, but there are many monks in the temple, Even if the clan wanted to sneak attack, there was no use. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
