Chapter 321 Breaking the Cauldron (Today's First Recommendation)

While the Oda army was resting in Nagashima Castle, the Kobe family in Kawakoto County also received the news that the temple had been destroyed and that the temple had been conferred the title of the temple. &*．． Fastest Update**

And Kobe Gumori, the head of the Divine Protector family, almost fainted to the ground after receiving this news. The reason why he dared to turn to the temple after the defeat of Takigawa Ichiyi was because he believed that the first two times the Oda family led a large army to attack, or Takigawa Ichiyi fought in Northern Ise, but in the end he could not move half of the temple, and in this environment, the temple not only did not have any loss, but could still grow and grow under the leadership of the Honanji Temple, so he thought that it was impossible for the Oda family to annihilate it this time.

But who would have thought that it only took ten days for the Oda army to uproot the Prayer Temple, which controlled the land of the four counties, that was the land of the four counties, and it was so easy to be captured, this speed was too unacceptable, and now the Oda army is directly aimed at Hequ County, how can this not make Kobe Gumori feel panicked.

Two days ago, he was still discussing with his retainers whether to send troops to help the temple, but today, there is obviously no need to think about this problem anymore, it is better to think about what to do in order to keep the name of the family.

After the retainers had all sat down in the assessment room, they heard Kobe Gumori hurriedly ask: "Now that the army of the Oda family is ready to attack the river meander, and the strength of the family is weak, if you resist head-on, it will definitely be difficult to escape the fate of the family's name being destroyed, I don't know if you have any way to protect the family's name from extinction, please tell me bluntly." ”

If you want to keep your family's name, there are only two paths in front of the Kobe family, either to go to the Kitabatake family or to the Oda family, and there is no choice but these two paths.

In the eyes of the retainers, although the Kitabatake family has won the land of the two counties of Kita-Ise and its strength has increased a lot, it is nothing compared to the behemoth of the Oda family, although the two families are not currently at war, but the result is obvious, and if the family moves the city to submit to the Kitabatake family, then the land controlled by the family will become the front line, and even if the Kitabatake family immediately sends reinforcements, it will be too late.

It seems that if you want the family name to continue to survive, then you have to take refuge in the Oda family, but the family just rebelled not long ago, and if you go to the shrine now, will it be forgiven?

Kobe Gumori felt very regretful, if it wasn't for his own mistake and switched to the temple, how could he have pushed his family to the brink of destruction.

The retainers present were basically the same as Kobe Gomori's thoughts, so they only heard one of the retainers say: "My lord, my subordinates think that only the Oda family can protect the name of the lord now, and I ask the lord to decide." ”

"What Mamoru Shimono said is reasonable, my lord, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Oda family is eager to unify Ise, and in the battle of Nagashima Castle, the number of casualties of the Oda army has reached one percent, and the Kitabatake family occupies a favorable position, if the Oda army consumes too much, I am afraid it will be in vain, and the subordinates believe that Oda Nobunaga does not want to consume the army on his own family anymore, and at present, he is resting in Nagashima City, and it is also possible that he is waiting for the lord to send someone to surrender, so, please don't miss this great opportunity, and ask the lord to decide."

Kobe Gumori's eyes lit up after hearing this, this retainer was right, with Oda Nobunaga's temper, after annihilating the temple, he would definitely open directly, and come to attack his family, even if he didn't come in person, he would send his retainers to lead the army, after all, the strength of the family was far from the temple, and the scale of Takaoka Castle and Kobe Castle under his rule was at most similar to Kuwana Castle and Xibao Castle, as long as he sent a few powerful retainers to lead the army, it was not something that his family could resist. …,

But Oda Nobunaga didn't do this, and he had to repair in Nagashima Castle for a few days, could it be that he really wanted to give himself another chance?

Thinking of this, the gloomy cloud on Kobe Gu Sheng's face also dissipated a lot, and he only heard him speak: "Since you have no other better way, then I have decided to join the Oda family again, so as to keep the family name." ”

After speaking, I heard Kobe Gumori speak again: "This matter is very important, I don't know who is willing to go to Oda's house and explain my mind to Oda Nobunaga?" ”

After his voice was finished, the retainers glanced at each other, and quickly lowered their heads, some of them wanted to take the order to go, after all, if it can be successful, this is a great achievement, and the reward must be indispensable, but these retainers know how capable they are, they only know how to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays, and their eloquence is very limited.

And there are a few other retainers who are not stupid in their minds who thought that this task seemed to be just running errands, and it was not a big deal, but they knew that going to Nagashima City was full of danger, what kind of person was Oda Nobunaga, that was the devil who dared to kill his own brother and even the temple to burn, and the words he had just persuaded the lord to return to the Oda family were just speculations, in case Oda Nobunaga didn't want to let go of his own family at all, then if he went by himself, wouldn't he be caught in the net?

Can the family protect the name of the main family is small, anyway, after the destruction of the Kobe family, he can turn his head and other forces, but if because of this matter, he was unfortunately killed by Oda Nobunaga, then it was all over.

Kobe Gu Sheng, who was sitting on the throne, saw that the retainers did not receive the order, and couldn't help but sigh, he paid a lot of money every year, but he didn't expect to raise a bunch of waste, this matter is too important for the family, if it is forcibly assigned, I am afraid it will not achieve the effect, but the retainers in the family have all been here, they don't go, so who else can go?

Do you want to let yourself go? That's right, why not go by yourself, in this way, you fully express your sincerity, and if you are taking hostages, I am afraid that Nobunaga will not refuse.

Even if he refuses to surrender to his family and kill himself on the spot, there is nothing to be afraid of, after his refusal, even if Nobunaga does not kill himself at that time, then, if the Oda army comes to attack, it will be difficult for him to escape and die, why should he suffer more in this city, anyway, the name of the family will not be saved, so it is better to die sooner.

Thinking of this, I only heard Kobe Gumori speak: "Since there is no one to take the order, then it is up to me to go to Nagashima Castle in person and meet Oda Nobunaga." ”

Seeing that the lord was going to go in person, even if the retainers present didn't want to go, they couldn't help but open their mouths to apply, but they all said: "The lord must not go, his subordinates are willing to go to Nagashima Castle, to show Oda Nobunaga their intentions, and ask the lord to grant permission." ”

I saw Kobe Gumori wave his hand and said with a stern face: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more, and this matter should not be delayed for a long time, so I decided to go to Long Island City today and retreat." ”

The retainers saw that the lord had made up his mind, and they didn't want to go in the first place, so they didn't persuade him more, but just bowed and retreated.

It only takes half a day to get from Kobe Castle to Nagashima Castle, so that afternoon, Kobe Gumori led his second son, who was only four years old, to the outside of Nagashima Castle.

Originally, Kobe Gu Sheng wanted to meet Nobunaga directly, but he had never met Nobunaga, and he met him directly, so it was a little presumptuous, and, it was all his own speculation before, Oda Nobunaga didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so it was better to probe the mouth of his retainers first, but the only person he knew in the Oda family, Lord Takigawa Ichiyi, did not come with the army this time, so which adult of the Oda family should he look for, in order to really understand Oda Nobunaga's mind? …,

Kobe Gumori couldn't help but feel a headache, there are too many important ministers in the Oda family, there are no less than ten of them that he has heard of, and the number of important ministers is even more than his own retainers, how to choose?

Shibata Katsuie, as the first fierce general of the Oda family, is said to have won the trust of Oda Nobunaga, but this person is more than brave, but he lacks intelligence, and I am afraid it is difficult to see Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.

Lin Tongsheng, as the head of the Oda family, and he is not shallow in his scheming, he should be able to guess Nobunaga's mind, but this person is too tactful, even if he knows the way, he will never explain it to himself.

And Niwa Nagahide, another important minister of the Oda family, is very easy-going, and it is because of his easy-going that he is also the easiest to see, but it is said that Niwa Nagahide has always been very small, and he never said more than what he shouldn't say, so if he wants to hear the news from his mouth, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Soon, Kobe Gumori had secretly screened the Oda family ministers in his heart, but in the end he didn't find a suitable candidate.

Just when he began to be a little anxious, it suddenly occurred to him that there was another important minister in the Oda family who was the most suitable, and this person had a very heavy weight in Oda Nobunaga's heart, not to mention whether he could find out the news from him, even if Nobunaga did not accept his words before, as long as he helped to make peace, then I am afraid that Nobunaga would also change his mind, and this person is now the fox of the tail head who is now terrifying in all directions, and the Takayama clan is terrified by the people of the world.

If it is said that he is moved to help the family speak well in front of Nobunaga, it is worth it to give him all the three hundred pieces of gold that he brought this time to be dedicated to Oda Nobunaga.

Although these three hundred guan is already a huge amount of money in the eyes of the little wealthy family, it is nothing compared to keeping the name of the family.

Thinking of this, I only heard Kobe Gumori instruct the two Qiben who were in charge of protection: "You two and Takewakamaru are waiting here, and I will come when I go." After speaking, Kobe Gu Sheng carried the golden judgment worth three hundred guan on his back and walked quickly towards the gate of Long Island City.
