Chapter 15: Rushing Back
"Return to the butterfly! I'm going to rush back to Owari right away! Guo Jia pushed open the door and looked at Gui Die, who was cleaning up.
"Why is there such a hurry?" Guidie didn't receive any information about Yuanjiang's attack on Owari, so she didn't understand why Guo Jia was in such a hurry.
When Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly said, "Imagawa Yoshimoto has come to attack Owari, and I want to go back immediately." ”
When Guidie heard the news, she immediately began to pack her bags, and Guo Jia was very puzzled when she saw it. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm going back with my husband!" Guidie didn't look up, and kept packing up quickly.
"Aren't you adding to the chaos!" Guo Jia was so anxious that he scolded! Owari is now being invaded by Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Guo Jia does not have more detailed information, which can be described as a black eye! It's okay for him to go back alone, but if Gui Die also follows him, then he will still be distracted to protect Gui Die. What if he still has to lead his troops into battle?
"No! I have to follow my husband! "Guidie doesn't stop at Mt. Inaba at all. She regards Guo Jia as her backbone, and if Guo Jia leaves Inaba Mountain, she will definitely follow, even if Guo Jia is going to the ends of the earth, she will follow her.
"Ridiculous!" Guo Jia's hair is standing on end now, and he really doesn't want Guidie to follow him, the reason is very simple. When he received the news that Enoe Province was attacking Owari Province, it was already dawn in the morning, in other words, now the battle was unstoppable, and even Moriso Castle had been surrounded, and now he returned to Owari to minimize the losses! Besides, as a female streamer, can Gui Die go to the battlefield at will? If Guo Jia returns to Owari alone, the slowest is in the afternoon, but what if Gui Die comes together? Definitely slowing him down. Three reasons can't let Guidie go back with him.
"Husband! I once said that the mountains have no tombs, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder and earthquakes, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, but dare to be with the king! I'll definitely follow you! If you're going to battle now, I'll follow you! If you dislike me slowly, you can go back first, but soon I will be back to the ancient city and wait for your return. ”
Guo Jia was moved by Guidie's words, but he still didn't want Guidie to go back.
"You ......"
Before Guo Jia could open his mouth, Gui Die interrupted him with a word.
"Say no more, I'm done! Husband, you can't stop me! Gui Die looked at Guo Jia deeply, and Guo Jia also knew Gui Die's determination and Guo Jia couldn't stop Gui Die at all, so he nodded and turned to leave.
"Are my horses ready?" Guo Jia spoke to the ashigaru standing at the gate of the courtyard. Now that everything was urgent, he had to go now.
"Master Guo Jia is ready!" Ashigaru saw Guo Jia walk out, and hurriedly made a "please" gesture.
Guo Jia and Ashigaru quickly walked to the red BMW prepared for him by Saito Michizo, Guo Jia did not hesitate at all, and stepped on the horse to leave.
"Lord Guo Jia!" Ashigaru spoke, "Michi-san, let me tell you that Owari has a strong and solid ally behind him!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he nodded and rode away. Of course he knew what Ashigaru meant, Mino's pit viper used to be allied with Oda Nobuhide, but now it is officially allied with Guo Jia! Now Guo Jia doesn't have to worry about Qingzhou City and Inuyama City at all, because these two cities are guarded by the Minong Kingdom!
"Call me Nohime." At this time, the council hall of Inaba Mountain Castle was full of people, the first one was Saito Michizo, and there was an empty seat under him, and next to that empty seat sat a strong man with a beard, this person was not angry and arrogant, and with a fine light in his eyes, he seemed to be a ruthless character. And further down is Saito Michizo's retainers, and even the Takenaka half-guards are here.
"My lord, has Master Guo Jia already left?" There was a hint of regret in Takenaka's eyes.
"Yes. At that time, he had already left when he received the message. Saito Michizo nodded.
"What? Do you still want to betray your father? "There are always reckless people in this world who don't use their brains to speak. This is such a person at the head of Saito Michisan.
"Yilong! Don't be unreasonable! Saito Michizo directly reprimanded, and this bearded man was Saito Michizo's righteous son, Saito Yoshiryu.
Hearing Daosan's words, Saito Yoshiryu's face was not very good, as the righteous son of Daosan, he didn't expect Daosan to scold him because of an outsider.
"Hanbei, what do you want to say?" Saito Michizo didn't pay much attention to Saito Yoshiryu at all, after all, this is his own righteous son, and his responsibilities are too powerful Saito Yoshimyu can't hang up when they meet. So Saito Michizo also changed the subject.
"Chen wants to go back with Guo Jia. I'm curious about Guo Jia's tactics and where he looks down on the low-mindedness of daimyos like Imagawa Yoshimoto. The half-guard of Takenaka spoke directly, without any hesitation. And he was curious about the difference between this Guo Jia and that Feng Xiao.
"The minister is also curious, whether Lord Guo Jia's kung fu can be used on the battlefield." Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, with mockery and disdain.
"My husband's power is enough for you to come here to rap?" Qingli said a word from outside the door, and Gui Die had already dressed up and stood outside the door in the cloth clothes for the return trip.
Originally, Guidie had already packed her bags, but she was sent a message by an ashigaru that Michizo Saito wanted to see her, and she could only temporarily put down her luggage and come to meet Michizo Saito. But what a strange woman Gui Die, her luggage is all put in the carriage, and she will leave immediately after seeing Saito Michi's three return to Die.
"When your subordinates are defeated one by one, my husband is speechless, why don't you see your ability? Do you just say bad things behind people's backs? Gui Die's words pierced Akechi Mitsuhide's chest with sharp thorns.
"Father, if there is no important matter, I will go back to Owari first, the war is urgent, and I don't want to delay my efforts here because of watching the jumping clown." Guidie didn't plan to enter the council hall at all, she didn't even take off her shoes outside the door now.
"Well, return to the butterfly. Don't be like this, Guangxiu is just a little more straightforward. Saito Michizo had never seen such a side of his daughter, and hurriedly comforted Guidie.
"Humph! To question my husband is to question me! And I'm the princess of Mino, so I'll go! Guidie's voice was angry, and he turned around to leave as he spoke.
"Gui Die, in that case, can you let me walk with you?" Or a smart person will do smart things, Takenaka Hanbei saw that Gui Die was going to leave and hurriedly spoke.
"You? What are you doing here? Gui Die looked back in surprise.
"I want to see Lord Guo Jia's methods, not long ago, I admitted defeat in the tongue war, which was oral, but I haven't really been convinced! So I want to witness the scene of Lord Guo Jia's victory. ”
I have to say that Takenaka's half-soldier's brain, just now someone questioned Guo Jia's ability, and Gui Die directly scolded him for being bloody, and he also wanted to see Guo Jia's ability, but people directly said that they wanted to witness Guo Jia's victory in this battle. is a delicate person, there are no loopholes in what he says and does, and even the words he says make Guidie unable to refuse.
"The three major people of the road, I wonder if the minister can accompany Nohime to Owari?" Takenaka Hanbei did not follow directly, but asked the third to see his opinion.
"Half-guard!" Of course, Saito Yoshiryu didn't know Saito Michizo's thoughts, and he also felt that the current Takenaka Hanbei was doing a traitorous act to the enemy.
"Yilong!" Michizo Saito didn't shout a loud scolding, but everyone sitting felt his anger, and there was a hint of murderous intent.
Everyone didn't know why Michizo Saito exuded murderous intent. This truth is only understood by Saito Michizo, he has two righteous sons, one is Saito Yoshiryu and the other is Oda Guojia, and these two people are worlds apart, Saito Yoshiryu is vicious, although his behavior is decent, but he is only a brain, and everything wants to be solved by force. Guo Jia is different, his vision is extremely high, although his behavior is absurd, but he has an IQ that is stronger than that of Takenaka Hanbei, a powerful strategist.
"Half-guard, you go with the butterfly. Remember to protect both of you. Saito Michizo was angry and restrained, ignoring the eyes of the people around him and not explaining everything, and directly agreed to Takenaka's request for Hanbei.
"Command!" Takenaka Hanbei got up directly and walked out of the door quickly, he looked very good today, and after hearing the message that Saito Michizo agreed to let him go to Owari, his whole person was in good spirits. It was as if he had left all the discomforts of his body behind.
At this time, Saito Yoshiryu did not speak, of course he could feel the killing intent from Daosan's anger. He didn't dare to continue speaking. Because he was afraid, he was afraid that Daosan would really order him to be killed, Saito Yoshiryu was also scheming, the so-called small intolerable will make a big plan, he didn't want to be unable to inherit Mino Country because of this kind of thing. It's better to keep some things in mind, anyway, it won't be long before Minong Country is in his pocket, and there is no need to make any problems at this time.
"Since you want to follow, come on, don't drag your feet." Guidie didn't care about the things in the council hall at all, her heart had already flown to Guo Jia, and when she saw that her father didn't stop her, she walked directly to the arranged carriage, and now she will only let go of her heart when she returns to the ancient wild city. Although it was safe to stay in Inabayama Castle, she couldn't feel at ease, because Guo Jia was now rushing to the battlefield.
The half-guard of Takenaka put on his shoes at the entrance and followed behind Gui Die quickly, and he couldn't wait to go to the ancient wild city to see how Guo Jia broke this game!
At this time, outside the end of the castle in Owari, the first round of fighting between the two armies had already ended, and the outcome was known, and the defending army led by Nobuhide was losing and retreating, and now they could only retreat to Morinomo and wait for the information of the first team.
"Did you report the whereabouts of the Shibata Katsuie?" Nobuhide sat in the barracks and watched everyone below.
"Returning to my lordship, Katsuya-sama did not find out the whereabouts of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team, and was intercepted on the way back, and is now engaged in a battle with an army of about 3,000 people ten miles away from Narumi Castle." A civil servant trembled with the materials in his hand.
"What about our casualties?" Nobuhide nodded and continued to ask.
"The death toll of our army is more than three hundred, and about two hundred are seriously wounded."
"Damn! On my order, all the troops will retreat to Nakono Castle in the rear, and my personal guards and I will block the footsteps of the Imagawa army! Maeda Toshiie, you give this letter to Masahide Hirate, remember, you must lead the soldiers to survive! After saying that, Nobuhide took out the letter he had written before the army from his bosom and handed it to Maeda Toshiya, getting up and planning to go out.
"My lord! If you want your palace to be our palace, you must not! Nobuhide's retainers were surprised to hear Nobuhide's order.
"Pass my order to let Shibata Katsuya not fall in love with the war and withdraw directly back to Nakono Castle. You follow Maeda Toshiya and withdraw your troops back to Nakono Castle! ”
Nobuhide didn't give these retainers a chance to speak at all, and walked out of the camp directly.
