As for befriending the Shibata Katsu family and the Takayama clan, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't think that if he could make friends with these two, then as long as he didn't make big mistakes, then his future in the Oda family would be smooth sailing.

However, the Gaoshan Clan Sect was polite to himself, but he always felt that the other party was guarding against him, so in the end he gave up, relying on others is not a long-term solution, or his own strength is the most reliable.

Although his mobilization of troops this time was a bit blatant, he also thought of his words, after all, he didn't want to rely on the big tree of Shibata Katsuya and Takayama Clan, but he never wanted to offend the two, especially before he became full-fledged.

Therefore, when he saw the anger on everyone's faces, he only heard Akechi Mitsuhide speak: "If you adults think that I have handled it unfairly, it is a big mistake. ”

"I want to hear about it." I only heard Shibata Katsuharu say angrily, as the brother of Shibata Katsuya, although his identity is only a general, he is still a courtier, but he is covered by Shibata Katsuna, and he has less scruples.

"Don't forget, my lords, what is our task, our task is to completely defeat the enemy, and the seizure of the temple is only a blow to the enemy's morale, and the enemy is even less likely to collapse because of this, so when the enemy gets the temple and is taken, it is the moment of your counterattack, the enemy's head is in the army, and there are still 3,000 demoralized troops for the adults to cut and kill, is this still a small credit?"

Shibata Katsuharu couldn't help but blush after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "It's a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, and I ask for forgiveness from Lord Wise." ”

After listening to it, everyone also felt that what Akechi Mitsuhide said was reasonable, and even if they were really allowed to sneak attack the temple, they were not very willing to go, and the retainers under the command of the Shibata Katsu family, and the power were all traditional samurai, so they were really reluctant to let them dare to steal chickens and dogs, but they forgot that although the credit of capturing a temple was better than to win the enemy's head and defeat the army. However, it was the credit of one person, and it was a must-have achievement, and the credit for fighting the enemy army was divided equally among a dozen people. And it doesn't necessarily get anything, so in comparison, it's still wise Mitsuhide to stand on a big bargain.

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Shigeta's face was no longer as ugly as it was just now, and he was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect Shibata Katsuya to be so foolish, and he just thought about it. It doesn't seem to be needed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Shibata is injured and has difficulty moving, so you should leave first, and I will wait until the evening to start moving."

"Obey the orders of the wise lord." Since the samurai had no objections, they answered without hesitation.

Like Akechi Mitsuhide's thoughts, the monks of Minami-Omi Temples immediately chased after the Oda family after receiving the retreat of the Oda family. At first, there were one or two temple abbots who thought that this was a ploy by the Oda army to lure the enemy in, but when the others mentioned that Shibata Katsuie was seriously injured, they were silent.

Katsuie Shibata was injured. Everyone saw it with their own eyes, and that wound, even if it didn't kill him, I was afraid that he wouldn't want to get out of bed for a while.

And the Oda army was already demoralized, and in addition to the injury of the main general, if he did not retreat, it would be a little abnormal.

Although some of the hosts felt that the enemy had just arrived, the enemy retreated, which seemed a little strange, but as soon as they wanted to say more, the messenger sent by Ashikaga Yoshiaki had already arrived.

"I've met all the hosts in Shimowada Yumasa."

Wada Yumasa Tsuyoichi reported the news of the attack on Nakajo Castle to Enryakuji Temple and other temples. I came here non-stop.

"It turned out to be Lord Wada, I don't know what the important thing is to come this time." I only heard Ichisaiji Guoxing ask.

"Masters, my lord hopes that you can lead the rebels to help my family restore the country of Minami Omi, and once it is restored, then my lord is willing to send Takashima and Shiga to the temples." …,

"Is the General really willing to give up the two counties?" One of the hosts asked, incredulously.

Everyone knows the way. The gold content of this South Omi County is still very high, although the two counties of Takashima and Shiga are not large counties in the South Omi Province, but they also add up to nearly 100,000 stone of fertile land, and now the Oda army has retreated, catch up and defeat this defeated army, it is just a gesture, as long as it is defeated, then looking at those large and small wealthy families in the South Omi country, who can be the opponent of the temple army, in this way, this land of nearly 100,000 stones is not the same as the white one.

As soon as I heard that there was a bargain, and it was still a big bargain to take advantage of, even the host who didn't want to go out of the army just now was not talking nonsense, even if he didn't contribute, there were many benefits to following the gangsters, so soon the abbots of the temples reached an agreement, and if the Oda army returned to Changguang Temple City, it would not be easy to do.

Seeing that the monks and soldiers had done it, Hetian Weizheng sneered again and again, and was secretly proud in his heart, you go and fight, how can the land of the two counties be so good?

He knew that the monks were insatiable, and once they drove the Oda army out of the city, they would definitely fight for more land, and that was the time for the Ashikaga family to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits of the fish.

However, with his IQ, who would have thought that Akechi Mitsuhide was just a strategic retreat, and it would not be so easy to think that Minami Omi.

Not to mention how Akechi Mitsuhide used his wits to defeat the army of the temples, it is only said that the Ashikaga family and Enryakuji Temple and other temples went to Rakunaka Castle.

On the second day after the meeting, in addition to the 1,500 troops raised by the Ashikaga family, 4,000 monks led by Enryakuji Temple also rushed to Nijo Castle.

Although all the Ashikaga clan's forces were dismissed after seizing control of Nijo Castle, these ashigaru only returned home and did not leave Yamashiro, so it was not difficult to think of recruiting them again.

"Report to the lord, the army of the Ashikaga family and the monks and soldiers of the temple are less than three miles away from Luozhong City, and the army has more than 5,500 people, please prepare as soon as possible."

As soon as the Ashikaga Riren army set out from Nijo Castle, the clan sent a report to send the news back.

"I'm good at knowing the road, follow me to the city wall to have a look." After speaking, I saw the clan stand up and walk towards the outside of the samurai's mansion.

For this enemy attack, the clan did not feel any panic, one is that the city of Luozhong City is high and deep, as long as the defense is proper, the enemy thinks that it is impossible to attack the city, and the second is that the clan has long known that there will be such a day, so since entering Luozhong City, it has been constantly stockpiling strategic materials, after nearly a year of hard work, the grain and grass in the city are piled up, arrows, rolling wood and thunder stones are piled up in several warehouses, not to mention that the enemy is only thousands, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it is enough for more than a month.

And it won't take a month at all, Oda Nobunaga's army will arrive, even if it doesn't come, Akechi Mitsuhide will lead thousands of troops to help after defeating the Minami Omi Temples coalition army, and at that time, it is the time for the Oda army to counterattack, don't look at the current Oda army in Minami Omi is pressed by the monks and can't raise their heads, but the clan is confident that as long as Akechi Mitsuhide arrives, then it won't take long for the tide of the war to be reversed.

After all, there is not much difference in the number of troops in the two armies, and there are two major army commanders of the Oda family, one Wen and one Wu, who are sitting there, and if they don't win, it will be unreasonable.

Don't look at the Takayama clan's sect is very relaxed, but his retainers and Muto Shunhide can't be relaxed, when the clan clan just arrived at the city wall, the three of them surrounded with a serious face.

Both Omiya Keiren and Tanaka Katsusuke had participated in the battle of Takasaki Castle with their clans, so they shouldn't have been so nervous, after all, no matter how elite the monks were, their equipment could not defeat the Matsunaga army, which was already armed to the teeth. …,

However, the reason why they are still like this is because they also know that although the Matsunaga army is elite, the monks, especially the two thousand monks of Enryakuji Temple, are not without advantages, and their advantage is that they are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of good equipment, they are afraid of death, otherwise Enryakuji Temple would not be able to establish a temple for hundreds of years.

If it is possible for the monks of the Tsuyorakuji sect to collapse under absolutely unfavorable conditions, then even if the monks of Enryakuji Temple are in a desperate situation, few of them will flee, and this is their strength, that is, the expansion of the successive directors of Enryakuji Temple is not strong, otherwise, with such an iron-clad team, Japan would have been unified long ago.

So when he saw that the lord didn't take the enemy to heart at all, he had to remind him. I only heard Tanaka Katsusuke say: "My lord, my subordinates have been in Kyoto all the year round before they came out, so I still know a little bit about Eeiyama Enryakuji Temple, although the monks and soldiers of this temple only have a long-handled knife and no piece of armor, but their combat power must not be underestimated."

The biggest characteristic of the monks and soldiers of this temple is the obsession with Buddhism, so they regard death very lightly, and even most of the monks and soldiers still hope to die for the temple, they think that only in this way are the most devout believers, which is the same as the idea of the samurai to be loyal to the lord, so the lord can see them as two thousand samurai who put life and death out of the way, so they must not be underestimated. ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, although he had already thought that the other party's combat power was not low, even more than the Ichijo Sect of Nagashima and Mikawa, but listening to what Tanaka Katsusuke said, he felt that he still underestimated the other party, how could he be fighting with two thousand monks, this was completely against two thousand madmen, fortunately, there is still some time to rearrange himself, otherwise when the enemy is killed outside the city in a while, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss.

Thinking of this, the clan immediately ordered: "Omiya Jinglian, you immediately gather the heavy vines scattered on all sides of the city wall, you don't have to worry about anything else, you just need to keep a close eye on those monks and soldiers in Enryakuji Temple for me, where they attack from, you will guard for me." ”

"It's the lord, and his subordinates promise not to let the enemy cross the thunder pool."

"Katsusuke Tanaka, you lead the army under your command to stand by, where there is danger, you will go to support, and when you have nothing to do, you will also keep an eye on the monks of Yanli Temple."

"It's the lord."

"Muto Shunhide, you will lead the Oda army to divide the cities on all sides, and where there is danger, you will keep an eye on me."

"Please rest assured, Lord Takayama, your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lords."

"Alright, the enemy is coming, let's all go and prepare." After the clan said it, he still had no intention of going down, and his gaze never withdrew from afar. (To be continued.)
