The Ashikaga family coalition army is nearly 10,000 troops, and he is only more than 1,000, how to play, Lao Tzu asked Oda Nobunaga to send troops to help, but I'm afraid that before the reinforcements came, Lao Tzu was played to death first, this is the first time he is in command, and he is still dealing with the Ashikaga family, which is already hopeless, if it really fails, it will not make people laugh to death.

And the most important thing is that if Oda Nobunaga feels that he doesn't want to be handsome, it will be completely finished, and when the Oda family is in full swing, when the commander of the army is appointed, I don't know if there is still the name of Lao Tzu, why will he fight for the world in the future, will he be loyal to others for ten or twenty years? Lao Tzu doesn't have the patience.

However, the clan knew that the matter had already happened, and it had to be resolved as soon as possible. Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect ask, "Where have the reinforcements sent by the lord arrived?" ”

"Back to the lord, the main hall has not sent reinforcements again, but the army is currently mobilized, and it seems that he wants to lead the army to come to help in person."

Hearing this, the last glimmer of hope of the clan was also shattered, not to mention that Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements have not yet moved, even if Oda Nobunaga leads the army to come now, it will take at least a few days, and the clan knows that as long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not strike first, Oda Nobunaga will never move, then, now he has to rely on himself, he who was originally waiting for the Ashikaga family to move, and he still wants to take the offensive, but now he has to temporarily take the defensive.

I saw that the clan sect stared at each other and said, "Wise Guangxiu!" ”

When Akechi Mitsuhide heard the clan directly call out his name, instead of calling himself Akechi-sama, he knew that Lord Takayama was going to give him a task, rather than discussing it with himself, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Your command is here, please ask Lord Takayama to command." ”

I only listened to the clan sect's instructions: "Shibei, you immediately return to Nijo Castle now, and immediately lead the army with Bee House Yoryū to aid Lord Shibata, and this battle can only be won and not defeated." ”

Akechi Mitsuhide hesitated after hearing this. He said, "This ...... If you leave in the next place, then there will only be more than 1,000 troops in the castle, and if the Ashikaga family and the monks of the temple come to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please think twice about Takayama-sama. ”

"Needless to say, back in Takasaki City, I was able to block the army of Matsunaga and Miyoshi with only a few hundred remnants of the army, and now this Luozhong City is much stronger than Takasaki City, and there are more than 1,000 elites under my command, and it is not difficult to defend the city. If you are worried, then leave quickly, and come back early, and I will wait in this city for your triumphant return. ”

"Yes, my command will live up to the trust of my lord, and my command will leave." Since Takayama-sama said it so resolutely, Akechi Mitsuhide no longer persuaded him, after all, Takayama-sama was right. If you don't go, once the Oda army is defeated, the monks of Minami Omi are coming. Then even if there are more than these 500 troops, it will be useful.

Moreover, he still has some confidence that Lord Takayama can hold this city under the attack of the enemy.

"Report to the lord, Akechi Mitsuhide and the Oda army in the city have all withdrawn." In the living room of the Nijo Castle Castle Tower, just as Ashikaga Yoshiaki's throat was hoarse, I saw a junior samurai running in quickly and reporting loudly with excitement.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but be stunned on the spot after hearing this, didn't they want to imprison themselves, how could they suddenly all withdraw for no reason? Is there some kind of trick in this?

"Are they all gone? Not a single one left? Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked with some disbelief.

"It's the lord, and all of them have withdrawn. As for the reason for the withdrawal, it is not clear to the subordinates. ”

"Ha Lu Ha

The territory of the Ashikaga family was not large. Therefore, in less than half a day, in addition to the samurai who stayed in the castles, all the retainers of the Ashikaga family came to Nijo Castle, and there were many loyal samurai, bringing hundreds of troops, and if the lord announced that he would immediately send troops to quell the rebellion, then there would be time left for mobilization. …,

"Now that the Oda family's army has left, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I decided to immediately ask all temples to raise troops to annihilate the Takayama clan in Luozhong Castle first, and then take the mountain castle."

"My lord, the Gaoshan clan is a resourceful person, and this sudden withdrawal of troops must have a plan, so my subordinates think that they should not act rashly." I only heard Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly say.

"Hosokawa-sama is really too worried, and the reason why the Takayama clan withdrew the troops in the city was to rescue the Minami Omi Oda army.

Oh yes, the adults may not know the way, Shibata Katsuya is not measurable, only led 4,000 troops to attack the South Omi Temple, but where does he know the Road, the South Omi people and the temple power is quite related, only one hand, the army under his command will be half of the first to collapse, and now it is even more beaten to raise his head, and according to the next Ashigaru report, Akechi Mitsuhide is leading the army all the way to the west, if it is not for the rescue, what is the intention? ”

"Is that true?" After Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard the news, he was in a good mood, if the Minami Omi Temples could really defeat the Shibata army in one fell swoop, then if he ordered him to move eastward, wouldn't even Minami Omi be his own?

As for the mountain city country, there is no need to worry at all, there are many temples in the mountain city country that are united by themselves, and there is also the support of Enryakuji Temple, if there is no external force, it is impossible for the Takayama clan to block it, so that he can have two places and hundreds of thousands of stones, and he finally has the ability to protect himself.

After listening to this, Hosokawa Fujitaka was not so optimistic, even if the family now has a certain advantage, but if Oda Nobunaga is angry and leads a large army to come, how to deal with it, I am afraid that the territory seized will soon change hands.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak again: "Lord, my subordinates think that even if they want to go out into the army, but now is not the time, has the lord ever thought about the army of the Oda family?" Once the Oda family's army arrives, how should they respond? ”

"How long do you want to wait? Do you have to wait until the time of the destruction of your family? Ashikaga Yoshiaki was very unhappy when he saw that Hosokawa Fujitaka always demolished the stage for himself, so he only listened to him say angrily.

"My lord, my subordinates think that they should immediately send envoys to Takeda, Uesugi and other forces, agree on the time of the army, and attack Oda together, only by letting them drag the Oda family, can the family get a chance to breathe after seizing its land, otherwise once the Oda family arrives, the family will have to face it alone, I wonder if the lord can be sure to defeat the Oda family?"

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki hadn't been imprisoned for more than a month, I'm afraid that with his character, he would still listen to Hosokawa Fujitaka's advice, but now that he has just regained his freedom, the anger in his heart is nowhere to vent, and now he is focused on fighting, fighting and fighting, it can be said that his heart has been blinded by anger, and with the great victory of Minami Omi Temple, this has added a little confidence to him, so at this moment, no matter how reasonable Hosokawa Fujitaka says, he can't listen to it.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear any dissenting opinions now, if there is any persuasion, let me mess up." After speaking, I only heard Ashikaga Yoshiaki say again: "Wada Yumasa, you immediately go to Enryakuji Temple and other temples, and ask them to send troops to help." ”

"It's the lord. The subordinates will do it. ”

"Ibaraki Chitaka, you immediately send people to Takeda Uesugi Asakura and other forces, and order them to immediately send troops to attack Oda, as long as the Oda family can be completely eliminated, the land of the Oda family will belong to them."

"You and others immediately return to the territory, mobilize the army, and in a day later assemble at Nijo Castle to destroy the traitor Takayama clan and sweep away all the forces of the Oda clan in the country. Meeting. After saying that, I saw Ashikaga Yoshiaki stand up and walk quickly towards the inner room, and the retainers also rushed out.

In the blink of an eye, only Hosokawa Fujitaka was left in the assessment room, and he was still sitting in his place in a daze.

If his heart was already a little shaken before, then now he is completely dead to the Ashikaga family. …,

I only heard Hosokawa Fujitaka sigh, sat up straight, bowed to the empty general's throne, and said to himself: "The first master, it's not that his subordinates don't contribute, but that his subordinates' abilities are limited, I'm afraid that in a few months, the Ashikaga family will no longer exist, although the subordinates can't keep the Ashikaga family prosperous, but no matter what, they will do their best to keep the shogun from dying, and I ask the first lord to forgive me." With that, he sighed again and walked towards the outside of the castle tower.

Instead of returning to the territory immediately after leaving the assessment room, Isshiki Fujinaga made a detour to Rakunaka Castle, where he had recently secretly fallen to Oda under the persuasion of Akechi Mitsuhide, and he felt that it was necessary to communicate with Takayama-sama about today's events.

In the samurai's mansion, the clan clan sat facing him, and Isshiki Fuji came up and first explained to the Takayama clan what he had discussed at the evaluation meeting today.

The Takayama clan just listened, and didn't speak, until he finished speaking, he said: "The clan is quite relieved that the lord can come at this time, but the lord doesn't have to worry, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is just a clown, even if he gains for a while, it won't last long, and the lord said that he is coming to attack the city?" Then let him come. The clan has been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”

"Could it be that Takayama-sama still has a backhand? As far as I know, the army gathered by Ashikaga Yoshiaki this time was in the thousands, and all of them were monks......"

"My lord doesn't have to say any more, since the lord has returned to Oda, then I will say it directly, the lord has already gathered tens of thousands of troops, and he is on standby at the moment, the reason why he doesn't come now, is to wait for the Ashikaga family to make the first move, as long as he comes out of the army to attack, it won't take ten days, and the army under the lord's command will come, do you think that the clan is so unbearable, and such a strong city can't be held for ten days?"

Ichishiki Fuji Chang doesn't believe in anything else, but he has absolute trust in the clan's ability to defend the city, not to mention ten days, as long as Lord Takayama is here, even if it is guarded for several months, it is not a problem. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
