Chapter 27: Imagawa Yoshimoto's Anger
"What did you say!" A roar in the palatial hall was out of step with the atmosphere.
The man at the head was sturdy, his arms were high and his muscles were raised, and the thick calluses on his index finger seemed to tell about his superb archery skills.
"Back to my lord. Mori and Tsuki were lost and taken away by the Oda family. The head of the man kneeling on the ground was buried deeply, and he didn't dare to look up, because he was the one who lost Moriya and Yuhang.
The Katsuyama clan, the general who had vowed to take down Moriya and attack Owari not long ago, is now kneeling on the ground with a ragged face and a gray face.
"Humph! Gather your retainers! The man sitting at the head straightened his clothes, and glanced at the pretty woman beside him, reached out and grabbed the rabbit on her chest, and pinched it by the way.
This person is Imagawa Yoshimoto, some time ago I heard that Mori Mo took it, and Nobuhide died, he has been here with his female companion night and night, but today he heard a bombshell news! Mori returned to Owari control, and the castle was captured. How could this news not make him angry!
"I hate ......" The woman who was being molested laughed coquettishly, and also grabbed Imagawa Yoshimoto's lower body, as if this kind of thing was normal.
"I'll be back and clean you up later." Imagawa Yoshimoto sorted out his clothes, ignored the entanglement of the women, and walked straight to the door.
The council hall of the Sunfu Pavilion was renovated like a palace by Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the layer of wool velvet tatami on the ground was all incomparable to Inabayama Castle, every candlestick was carved in stone, and the cushions of every retainer were made of the fur of that rare animal, and the position of the first Imagawa Yoshimoto turned out to be a tiger skin! The entire council hall is brightly lit, and its luxury can be seen.
"Say! What the hell is going on! Imagawa Yoshimoto's face showed a haze of terror, and the faces of the people in the council hall were panicked.
"Go back to your lord, you should ask him!" The Katsuyama clan was now furious, as if it was not him who had lost the end of the Mori Dynasty, but the person he was pointing at! Motonobu Okabe!
"Huh? What do you mean by this? Everyone's eyes followed the Katsuyama clan's fingers to Okabe Motonobu.
"Don't you know what I mean? Don't think that if you let me go, I will think of your goodness in my heart! ”
"Lao Tzu told you! Don't think you can do whatever you want if you sympathize with me! What was going on in your head when you betrayed us? What good did that hairy boy from the Oda family give you! ”
Not to mention Okabe Motoshin, even the others in the council hall were confused by Katsuyama Moto's words.
"Katsuyama Clan! What do you have to say clearly! Don't spew blood here! Okabe Motonobu was even more puzzled by him like this, when did he betray the Imagawa family!
"Good, good! If you don't talk about this thing, then I'll talk about it! The ash on Geshan's face had not been completely wiped off, and this appearance made the others laugh a little.
"I was supposed to lead the 9,000 Imagawa army, but now I'm back alone! Do you think it's normal? Mori Castle itself was taken by me, but because I didn't know that the entire strength of the Oda army could not attack at will, I had an urgent report sent to Yoshimoto-sama, but there was no reply! I think the person who has been blocking it is you, Okabe Motonobu! ”
"Huh?"
Okabe Motoshin was even more confused this time, because the urgent report did pass through the hands of the other Four Heavenly Kings and was also handed over to Imagawa Yoshimoto, but what happened if there was no reply to this?
"Katsuyama Clan! If there is something, talk about it, how did you lose, how did you come back! Of course, Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't know about this urgent report, he had been discussing life with his woman a few days ago, and he noticed this, and in order to save face, he directly scolded Katsuyama Shiyuan.
"Humph! It's not this dog thing like Motoshin Okabe yet! "Katsuyama Clan Moto's words were even angrier when he heard Imagawa Yoshimoto's words, and he had now put all his anger on Okabe Motonobu.
"What did you say?" Okabe Motonobu, as the Four Heavenly Kings of Imagawa, certainly wouldn't be insulted by the loser like this. Anger erupted in his eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to provoke and kill the Geshan clan.
"Let him speak!" Imagawa Yoshimoto hurriedly stopped the two.
"Humph! Five days ago, I received the news that the Oda family was attacking Narumi Castle, so I sent troops to reinforce Narumi Castle, but who knew that their target was Moriya Castle! Motonobu Okabe: what the hell is going on! ”
"Huh? I'll say it again, don't spew blood! Where people fight, that's someone else's business, what does it have to do with me! ”
"The one who informed me of this news was the secret agent sent by the Oda family's faithful friend! Are you still calling me nonsense? ”
Katsuyama Clan's tone was impassioned, as if he was saying an indisputable fact, but what he didn't see was that the eyes of the other people at the council level did not fall on Okabe Motoshin, but on the Anhara general next to him.
"Katsuyama Clan! Do you want to put this basin on my head after your own defeat? ”
"Huh? What do you interject! ”
"The entire Junfu knows that I was sending a ninja to contact Oda Nobutomo, and he has only been working with us in the last few days! Do you mean to say that I have betrayed Yoshimoto-sama by saying such things? ”
Katsuyama Motomoto never thought that he would offend another person after saying this, he always thought that his defeat was related to Okabe Motoshin, but at this time, he suddenly appeared again. Could it be that both of these men betrayed Yoshimoto Imagawa?
"Go on!" Imagawa Yoshimoto's brows furrowed, and his eyes swept over the three people in front of him, weighing something in their hearts.
"After that, I sent troops to defend Narumi Castle, but Morimo was attacked by the Oda army at night, and it was lost in just over an hour! And I was also captured by them. That empty and powerful fool of the Oda family tried to kill me, but was stopped by a man named Guo Jia. ”
"Guo Jia? Who is it? ”
Hearing the words of the Geshan clan, the people in the council hall were stunned again, why hadn't they heard of this person.
"It's the current head of the Oda family, Oda Guojia."
"Oh! I remembered that a year ago, the big fool of Owari changed his name to Oda Kakuga. ”
"Wait a minute!" Imagawa Yoshimoto stopped their noise, and his brows furrowed into the word "several". "So after Oda Nobuhide's death, it was this Oda Guojia who ascended to the throne? And you are defeated at his hands? ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto's words are very vicious, obviously a question, but this question implies humiliation. There are only two answers, the answer is, then you were defeated by a hairy boy, and the answer is not that it is more interesting, who else can you be if someone else defeats you.
Geshan Shiyuan gasped when he heard this question, and whispered in a whimsical voice, "Yes." ”
"Hahaha!"
"The Geshan clan was defeated by a milky hairy boy who came back to find the bottom of the stairs!"
"Your position as the Four Heavenly Kings should be done by someone else!"
"Shame!"
The hall burst into fierce laughter just as Katsuyama had imagined. At this time, his face became even darker, not a red of shame, but a black purple of anger and anger. Because he still thinks that he has been betrayed, he is defeated by Moriya Castle.
"Enough! Then why do you say that after I was captured, I should sacrifice my life for the country and become a heroic spirit, that Guo Jia said, for the sake of Okabe Motoshin's face, let me go! I think you are the culprit! You are the one who made our great cause of Shangluo fail! ”
"Huh? Katsuyama Clan, you're endless today, aren't you? Hearing the words of the Katsuyama clan, Okabe Motoshin must refute it as soon as possible.
"People let you go, it's to see that you are pitiful, what are you doing here to slander Yuan Xinjun!" General Anyuan said lightly, he hates this Geshan clan now, if he loses, why bother to find a reason for himself.
"General Anbara! Why are you speaking for Motonobu Okabe! Have you betrayed too? I think you have this possibility, too, otherwise why would I have received false information! ”
"Katsuyama Clan! Who gave you the guts to slander us! How much we have contributed to the Imagawa family, you will still doubt us! I think you betrayed the Imagawa family and came back here to be a spy for others! ”
"Katsuyama Clan! If you do this again, believe it or not, I'll kill you, the general of the defeated army! It's useless to keep you anyway! It's better to cut you down if you are embarrassed here! The ears are clean, and the eyes are clean! ”
"Shut up!" With Imagawa Yoshimoto's impatient roar, the noise and whispers in the council hall all disappeared, but those people still killed each other with their eyes.
"That Guo Jia, why did that Guo Jia let you go?"
"Back to my lord, that Guo Jia said that he released me after receiving the transaction content of Okabe Motoshin."
"What do you say over there in the Three Rivers! General Anhara? ”
"Lord Hui, not long ago, when we were planning to attack Owari, we wanted to make a deal with Oda Nobutomo but the talks fell apart, and Oda Nobuhide died recently, which should give him an idea."
"Getting to the point!"
"My lord Oda Nobutomo really wants to rebel! And that's what his own cronies told me! ”
"Humph! What is the military strength of the Oda family? ”
"Back to my lord, a total of about five thousand."
"What about the rest of the Imagawa Army?"
"Back to the ......"
The Geshan clan didn't dare to continue, because after he defeated Moriya Castle, he didn't know the follow-up development, and he almost rushed back to the Sunfu Pavilion overnight.
"Say!"
"Lord Hui, there are about 3,000 troops still in Narumi City."
Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his head and looked at the man who was talking hesitantly, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to kill this man. Although the defeat and retreat is a trivial matter, it is a big deal to retreat regardless of his own soldiers, and the Geshan clan will not be able to continue to lead troops in the future! This is what Yoshimoto Imagawa has in mind.
"Okabe Motoshin, General Anhara will give me an explanation." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the two people in front of him whose bodies were shaking like a sieve, and his heart began to doubt.
"Back to my lord, I, I didn't betray the Imagawa family! I swear! ”
"My lord, you also know the contribution of the two of us to the Imagawa family, you can't listen to the villain's words and mess up!"
Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the two old ministers in front of him, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"Good! Okabe Motonobu, Anbara will supervise the two of you, the one who went to plot against the Oda family, or don't come back! ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto can't prove whether these two people betrayed him now, so he can only use this to make them sell their lives at that time. As he still has tens of thousands of troops under him, he is not afraid of the Oda family at all, but he is afraid of his own internal problems. Often an indestructible thing will completely disintegrate if there is a problem inside it.
And now Imagawa Yoshimoto doesn't know who is right and who is wrong in front of him, let them go against Oda Nobuyomo and succeed, it will bring a little trouble to the Oda family, failure or these two people are traitors in the first place, it's better to leave than to continue to stay by their side!
"Give you seven days! If the rebellion fails, go seppuku! Geshan Clan, you give me to Minghai City and take the rest of the troops to pick up the two of them! ! ”
