Chapter 299 is ready (today's first update)

In the assessment room of the Gifu Castle Castle Tower, although Oda Nobunaga knew that what Niwa Nagahide and the Takayama clan said were reasonable, this was not the best time to attack Nannan Omi, but he was afraid that the Asai family would take the lead, so he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.

I only heard Nobunaga speak: "Although what you two said is good, if the Asai family preemptively occupies Minami Omi after reorganizing the family's strength, how will the family deal with it at that time?" Could it be that this Minami Omi is going to be cheap for nothing, and others can't do it. ”

Since Niwa Nagahide didn't know much about the internal affairs of the Asai family, he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, but he set his eyes on the Takayama clan, hoping that he would continue to persuade the lord to give up his current plan to go to Minami Omi.

Seeing this, the clan did not hesitate, only heard him speak: "Lord, as far as his subordinates know, Asai Nagamasa just started to act against those stubborn forces at home a month ago, and although Asai Nagamasa has greatly increased his strength after controlling Mekada Town, but the strength of his retainers is not weak, even if he wants to win over some of them and attack the other part of his retainers, it is impossible to solve this in a short period of time, and now everyone in the world can see that the Asai family riot is about to occur, and those suppressed retainers are about to break out, At that time, Asai Nagamasa led the army to quell the rebellion, so what about the surplus army that can be sent to the south?

Besides, Asai Nagamasa has always flaunted loyalty, even if there is no civil strife in the family and the retainers are united, but as long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki is in Minami Omi for a day, he will not send troops to Minami Omi.

And the lord only needs to send more ninjas to Minami Omi, as long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki leaves, he will lead the army to attack, so that nothing goes wrong, this is the foolish opinion of his subordinates, and please ask the lord to decide. ”

After hearing this, Nobunaga did not rush to speak, but thought about what the clan said just now, the current situation of the Asai family, Ashi has mentioned it more than once in the letter he remembered, although the content of the letter is very obscure, but, combined with the information sent back by the ninja, the current situation of the Asai family, Nobunaga knows it clearly.

The clan is right, the recent rebellion of the Asai family has basically become a foregone conclusion, Asai Nagamasa and those retainers who are preparing to rebel are actively preparing, and the war is about to break out, and these two sides from the perspective of strength, although the Asai family has some advantages, but it is extremely limited, as long as the war starts, how can Asai Nagamasa free up his hand to attack Minami Omi?

Thinking of this, Nobunaga was finally relieved, and finally decided to follow the advice of Niwa Nagahide and Takayama Clan, and put the time of sending troops to Minami Omi until after Ashikaga Yoshiaki left.

I only heard Nobunaga speak: "What you two said has some truth, I decided to wait for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to leave the Southern Shogun, and then carry out the Southern Shogun Raid." ”

"The lord is wise." All the retainers hurriedly said in unison.

After the retainers finished speaking, they only heard Nobunaga speak again: "At present, the first task of the family is the Ise strategy, and this matter should not be delayed for a long time, Sakuma Nobumori, you immediately go down and prepare." ”

However, it backfired, and Nobunaga thought at first that the Takenaka Hanbei was just an occasional cold, and it would get better in less than three or two days, but who knew that the illness of the Takenaka Hanbei was more than half a month.

And during this half-month, Nobunaga also went to visit more than once, but the Takenaka Hanbei was still bedridden, and there was no sign of getting better at all, which made Nobunaga feel very anxious, watching the strength of the temple grow stronger day by day, and colluding with the Kitada family in Minami Ise, if they were not eradicated as soon as possible, it would be difficult to deal with them for a while.

Honganji is also a wise person, and the family has suffered two big losses in its hands, and it must not be given a chance to develop.

However, Takenaka Hanbei is seriously ill and can't go to the ground at all, if he only lets Sakuma Nobumori go, he really can't rest assured, fortunately, three days ago, a large-scale rebellion had occurred in Kita-Omi, and the Asai family was temporarily unable to send troops to Minami-Omi, so he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to personally lead a large army to attack Ise, so that he could be safe. …,

In the first few days of the month when Takenaka Hanbei was sick, Sakuma Nobumori was still very excited, but when he saw that Takenaka Hanbei was not good on the left or right, he began to be a little anxious.

In recent days, Nobumori Sakuma has spent more time at the Takenaka Hanbei Mansion than at home, and he is always looking forward to the Takenaka Hanbei getting better soon.

After following Nobunaga for so many years, he knew that his lord's temper was impatient, and he would never let himself drag on like this.

However, I was really thinking about something, and just when Sakuma Nobumori thought of this again, I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is Sakuma-sama at home?" Sakuma Nobumori heard that this voice was from the lord's close attendant Hasegawa Shuichi, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, and after letting him into the hall, he heard Sakuma Nobumori quickly ask: "I don't know what is the important matter of Hasegawa-sama's late night visit?" ”

"Lord Sakuma, the lord saw that Lord Takenaka Hanbei was seriously ill and could not fight in the near future, so he decided to personally lead the army to attack Ise, and the Lord will go to battle with the army as a lieutenant, so please prepare as soon as possible."

After sending off Shuichi Hasegawa, Nobumori Sakuma couldn't sleep at all, and just sat in the hall until dawn.

The clan returned to the territory on the second day after the assessment meeting, and was anxious to receive the newly acquired 2,000 stone territory, and when the retainers learned that the lord had received another 2,000 stone Zhixing's reward, and the land under their control had also reached 10,000 stones, they were all happy.

This newly acquired land of 2,000 stones is full of lofty mountains and mountains, and there is no land to cultivate, so there are few people, and there is only one small town called Hiwami to defend, although the scale of this city is small, but the geographical location is very important, he is the same as Mitsuyama Castle, he also controls a path that can lead to Hida Country, otherwise, there is no need for this small city to exist.

Seeing this, the clan couldn't help but think that now there are two roads leading to Hida Country in the land controlled by the family, and it can be said that the road from Mino to Hida is already in their own hands, but these two roads are too rugged, and the infantry can barely pass, but if the cavalry under his command wants to pass through here, it is simply delusional. These two roads must be repaired, otherwise, it will be inconvenient to even transmit messages.

Thinking of this, the clan has made up his mind that no matter how much money is spent or how much it costs, these two roads will be repaired, which will play a vital role in whether he can hold Hida tightly in his hands in the future.
