With the collapse of the Miyoshi family's army, the large and small forces in the Yamashiro country were all shocked, in their hearts, the Miyoshi family, which was like a giant, fell like this, before that, they all thought that the Miyoshi family and the Oda family were equal in strength, and the strength of the army was nearly twice that of the Oda family, and they occupied a favorable terrain, and it was impossible to lose, so they were all waiting and watching.

Except for Isshiki Fujicho and others, no one returned to the Oda family at this time, but what they didn't expect was that in just one day, the Miyoshi army was defeated, and it was so completely defeated, this... It's just incredible.

Seeing that the Miyoshi army outside the castle was fleeing westward, the only thing these wealthy families could do was to immediately go to the Oda family's army and show their submission to the Oda family.

A few days after the capture of Yamashiro Province, Oda Nobunaga sat on the throne in the assessment room of the castle tower of Rakunaka Castle, and all the retainers who had been fighting with the army and were above the rank of general were concentrated here.

Although there was a lord on top, they didn't dare to talk casually, but everyone present had smiles on their faces.

I only heard Oda Nobunaga speak: "This battle depends on your bravery. Now that the mountain city has been flattened, I decided to immediately welcome the general into Beijing and preside over the overall situation. ”

After listening to this, the retainers knew in their hearts that as soon as the lord's words came out, it meant that the battle was over, but the Miyoshi family was not vulnerable in front of the family at all, but it still controlled more than one million stones under its command. Such a good thing, if you miss this village, you won't have this store.

Moreover, once the tiger is released and returns to the mountain, as long as the Miyoshi family is given a chance to breathe. Then next time you want to uproot it, it will be a little difficult.

So as soon as Nobunaga finished speaking, Sakuma Nobumori took advantage of the lord's pleasure, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "The lord's subordinates think that there is no hurry to welcome the general into Beijing. Now that the Miyoshi family has been newly defeated, and the people of the Miyoshi family, whether samurai or ashigaru, have lost their hearts, this is a great time to destroy the Miyoshi family in one fell swoop. If you miss it, it's a pity, and please ask the lord to decide. ”

After hearing this, Shibata Katsuya also spoke: "My lord, what Sakuma-sama said is reasonable, now that the morale of the family is strong, it is not difficult to destroy the three good, if the lord is fair."

Nobunaga was in a good mood today, so after the two of them finished speaking, there was no displeasure on his face. But. As the head of the family, he can't be as ignorant as Shibata Katsuya and Sakuma Nobukatsu.

During these two days, Oda Nobunaga thought for a long time, and he also knew that now was the best time to attack Miyoshi's house, but it was not that he didn't want to attack, but he couldn't advance westward for the time being.

He understands that although in recent years, the family has risen strongly. However, it does not have the same background as the general trend, and the new land takes time to digest, and there is a big threat of the Takeda family behind him, and the capture of the Yamashiro country is currently the limit of the family, if it is attacking to the west, then once the new land is changed, or the Takeda family will attack. Then the family is afraid that it will be difficult to stop, so Nobunaga finally decided that the family should recuperate for a while, and after digesting the mountain castle and Minami Omi, it is not too late to attack the Miyoshi family.

And by that time, the territory of the family exceeded two million, and there were tens of thousands of people with armor, and after no worries, it was the best policy to win in one fell swoop, so after the two of them finished speaking, they only heard Nobunaga say firmly: "There is no need to mention this matter, I have made up my mind." ”…,

After saying that, Nobunaga didn't give any chance for the retainers to speak, but said to Murai Sadakatsu, "You can start." ”

The retainers knew that they were going to be rewarded, so they didn't say more, and they all set their eyes on Murai Sadakatsu.

After listening to Murai Sadakatsu's answer, he stood up and read aloud: "This strategy, since the beginning to the present, all rely on your bravery, Shibata Katsuya captured five castles, won eight enemy generals, and won the land of 15,000 stones of Nagakoji Castle, Sakuma Nobumori ......"

Since there were many samurai who went to war with the army, and most of them had some merit, this thought was half an hour, but while the retainers were happy, they invariably found that there was no mention of the Takayama clan, which made the retainers of the Oda family very puzzled.

Especially Shibata Katsuya, he thought that with his own merits, he could get a reward of 15,000 stones, so it shouldn't be a problem for Qianbei to get a land of 350,000 stones with this outstanding performance, but even if he reached the end, he didn't hear his name read, and he couldn't help frowning, could it be that the lord forgot him?

How is this possible, after the strategy began, the lord often mentioned him, it is impossible to forget it, it seems that the lord must have another purpose.

Thinking of this, Shibata Katsuie, who originally wanted to speak, still couldn't help but didn't speak, of course, if after a while, the lord still didn't move, then he had to say.

"Sadakatsu Murai!" After Murai Sadakatsu finished reading the list and the envelope, he was about to sit down when he heard Nobunaga shout again. "The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord."

"As far as I know, the Imperial Palace of the General Army has long been dilapidated, and now I order you to build this city before the arrival of the general, the more luxurious the better, and you must show the general's might, do you understand?"

"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After speaking, I heard him ask again: "I wonder how much money the lord plans to allocate to build the city?" ”

I saw that Nobunaga wanted to bow his head and think about it, and then said, "Well, I'll allocate 5,000 to you, and repair this city, without further ado, you can do it now." ”

Murai Sadakatsu couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, not only him, but even most of the other retainers present were the same.

That's because they know that it takes more than 2,000 yuan to build a flat castle, and this is starting from scratch, but Nijo Castle is different, no matter how dilapidated Nijo Castle is, however, the foundation is there, if it is just repaired, 1,000 guan is enough, even if it is luxurious, more than 2,000 kan is about the same, but the lord allocates 5,000 kan at once, which is really amazing.

What is the lord going to do, is it out of a sincere desire to support the general, and if so, how should the family carry out the martial arts.

This is related to the future of the family, even if the retainers don't want to, but they can't help but say it, but before they can speak, they have already guessed what they want to say, so they don't give them a chance to speak at all, so they speak again: "The shogun is the lord of our family, and now is the time for the family to set an example, so don't say more." ”

After saying that, Nobunaga seemed to be a little uneasy about Murai Sadakatsu, so he reminded again: "These 5,000 kans will be used to restore Nijo Castle, and I will make this castle the most luxurious castle in the world." Without further ado, you can do it now. ”

After Murai Sadakatsu left helplessly, Nobunaga was afraid that the territory would be unstable, so in addition to leaving the important ministers of the family and the 5,000 banners under his command to stay here to welcome the arrival of the general, the remaining retainers and their troops returned to the territory first.

Niwa Nagahide went to meet the shogun as an envoy.

"Alright, Senbei stays, and the others retreat." …,

After the retainers left, I saw Nobunaga first take a look at the clan, this time the clan's credit was too great, not only the enemy's main city Iimori Castle was captured twice, but also the Miyoshi family's territory was turned upside down, and the enemy's momentum was greatly hit, if it weren't for him, this battle would never be so easy to win, and in the battle of the Setagawa a few days ago, it was even more cut off the return of the Miyoshi army, so that it gave up the most reluctant resistance, and his retainer Watanabe Moritsuna took Miyoshi Masayasu, one of the three Miyoshi three, such a credit, Enough to get a reward from the Hida country.

And the merit of the clan should have been listed at the top of the reward list, but it was precisely because of his favor that Nobunaga did not do so, but gave him a chance to choose again.

Nobunaga's direct ninjas are heavy, so they are very familiar with the surrounding situation, if it is said that before, after the clan has made such a great contribution, he will not hesitate to reward him with the Hida country, after all, this place is not the place of the family, and the seal to the clan is also equivalent to increasing the strength of the family.

Although Hida is nothing to the family, who would think that they have too much territory, but now it's different.

Although the Hida family is still nominally under the control of the Ji Xiaolu family and the Eima family, who doesn't know that no one knows that now both the Uesugi family and the Takeda family have intervened with a large army, which is not something that Senbei can face, so Nobunaga plans to let him choose a new territory as a reward.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga ask, "Senbei, do you know why I didn't mention the reward for you today?" ”

I saw that the clan shook his head and said: "The lord must have a deep meaning in doing this, but the subordinates don't know, and I ask the lord to solve his doubts." ”

"Now Hida Ichikoku, although it is still under the names of the Himekoji and Eima families, it is actually controlled by the Uesugi and Takeda families. The family has an alliance with the Takeda family, at least when you take Masuda and Ono-gun, they shouldn't do it, but just facing the Uesugi family, it's not something you can resist, so you have to think clearly, whether you still plan to use Hida as a territory, and if you change your mind, I can give you a reward of 30,000 koku in Soraku-gun, Yamashiro Province. After saying that, I saw Nobunaga staring at the Takayama clan closely, waiting for his answer. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
