Chapter Eighty-Nine: Shangluo

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye it is the new year, and Inabayama Castle has officially become Guo Jia's military base in this year's time, and all aspects of the equipment have been complete, and from then on this place will become a symbol of a person or a country, just like Owari Academy, this place will become the strongest place in Owari.

In February of the same year, a strong undercurrent slowly surged here, and an army assembled in this great city, and in April, this undercurrent surged from the bottom of the abyss with an order from Guo Jia.

"Shangluo!" Guo Jia was about to embark on a massive march, where more than 20,000 troops were ready to go. And it was this order that led them to start Owari's next move.

All those who planned to go to Luo in this era were all that kind of terrible careerists, and they were all ready to carry out a grand cause with the mentality of a coercive son of heaven to order the princes. Guo Jia is such a person, but he doesn't need to hold a puppet hostage to order another puppet, the general of Zhengyi is useless to him, he just wants to use absolute strength to show his strength.

April is a wonderful season, when the snow and ice have melted and everything in the world has begun to look forward to the year. The grass on the road is delicious, the spring breeze blows across the earth, and the air carries the hazy fragrance of plants when they are gorgeous. Since the beginning of Inabayama Castle, there has been a Predator Regiment that is incompatible with the beautiful scenery, and the Oda Army is walking on the newly built official road, each of them has no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, no time to prepare to enjoy the emotions brought to them by spring, they are all predators who cut their way out of the battlefield with a knife and walked out of the sea of blood in the corpse forest step by step. The beautiful sight could not reassure them, and they abandoned mediocrity in the war and decided to shine in the Oda army.

Their indomitable temperament is unmistakable on their bodies, the dazzling armor that shines in the sun shows their weight, the bright cold light shines brightly, and the spears and halberds and swords become their ornaments. The soldiers were looking at the road ahead, ready to confront the unexpected. At the same time, they also knew that as one of the most powerful war forces in Owari, they had a powerful attack, and the residents who passed by the city looked at this steel warrior in solemn awe, as if they were very useful, and they passed one castle after another with their heads held high.

"Ahead of us to enter the Omi realm, let's prepare to turn south." This is negotiated. When they were assembling their troops in February, they held a meeting to discuss the future of Owari, but at this meeting, they announced the contents of the attack on Ise.

"The Eight Thousand Fire Regiment diverted to the south when we went to Luo, and almost all the cities in Ise were the foundation of the Thunder Regiment, and you cooperated with the Thunder Regiment to fight a victory for me and came back." Obviously, Guo Jia is ready to launch an attack on the Ise Miyoshi people, who he has long targeted, and they took a little advantage from Guo Jia when they didn't know the height of the sky, and Guo Jia also wanted to use his own force to tell the world at this time that Owari was not so easy to bully.

"Understood!" Shibata Katsuya finally showed an excited look at this time, Ise Country, this area is large and the population is small, and Miyoshi and Omi have suffered heavy losses in the continuous war, as if these are all planned by Guo Jia, he is going to be in this place, at this time.

The 8,000 soldiers of the Fire Regiment and the Thunder Regiment that can cooperate with them inside and outside will definitely shine here.

"Lord Asai Nagamasa! Big things are not good, and now we have found the army of the Oda Army on the border, which is almost 20,000 in number. One of the legions went south, looking at the target as if he had an idea of Ise! The spies came to Omi Daimyo to report to him what he had seen.

"Guo Jiajun?" Asai Nagamasa was even more surprised at this time, this daimyo who had just stood on the cusp of the storm was silent for a year and sent troops to the west, what was this going to do?

"Where is our city? Have you been captured by him? Asai Nagamasa knew that a giant dragon in Owari was slowly waking up at this time, and he couldn't guess the dragon's thoughts at all.

"No, he just bypassed!" The information of the spies is interesting, you must know that a castle was also built at the junction of Owari and Omi, although the workmanship is poor, but it can be used as a place to stay.

"Bypassed?" Asai Nagamasa was very puzzled, what is this Guo Jia doing? It shouldn't be Omi thinking like this! So why is he so excited?

"Husband?" A soft voice sounded behind Changzheng, who was his wife and Guo Jia's sister.

"Ah Shi, why are you here?" Asai Nagamasa waved his hand for the spies to step back and wait for his summons.

"Your lunch." Aichi pulled out a delicate box from his back, about the size of a modern shoebox. Looking at it like this, there should be a bento inside, no doubt.

"Ahh I forgot! Look at my memory! Asai Nagamasa remembered this incident, and when he went out to the council hall, he forgot to bring his lunch, but Aichi sent it to him all the way.

"Idiot! What were you talking about? Ah Shi gave him a blank look, and then stuffed the lunch box into Changzheng's hand.

"Oh, it's Guo Jiajun. It's nothing. Asai Nagamasa didn't want his wife to be distracted, and he didn't want to reveal the matter of Guo Jia's army suppression.

"Brother? What happened to him? Could it be that my brother is sick? Or was it plotted by Minono's rebellion? Ah Shi was anxious when she heard this, but she saw with her own eyes that it was a spy who came to report, not someone else, which showed that this matter was very important.

"No, I'm going back!" In Ashi's heart, this brother of his own is her heaven, and the Asai Nagamasa in front of him is her land. Both are indispensable!

"No, no, Guo Jiajun is fine." Let Ah Shi go? That's worth it! Everyone knows how far away it is from Owari Nakono, and it will take a few days before I can see her back and forth!

"Guo Jiajun is here in Omi." In the same way, Asai Nagamasa didn't want Ashi to know too much, otherwise it would make something more troublesome.

"Huh? Brother is here? Ah Shi was instantly excited when she heard this, and she didn't hide her excitement at all.

"Where's my brother?"

Saying this, Asai Nagamasa realized that something was wrong, and he knew that he couldn't hide Guo Jia's dispatch of troops so easily, and it was estimated that the news would come from all over the city soon. And Ah Shi had already learned that his brother's arrival would definitely inquire about this matter, so Asai Nagamasa decided to tell the truth.

"That, Guo Jiajun doesn't know why he came to Omi with 20,000 troops, and it doesn't look like he's hostile to us." Asai Nagamasa is concise and to the point.

"Huh? My brother sent troops? "An unprecedented thing, Guo Jia has sent troops three times in the past five years, the first time he destroyed the Enoe and killed the lord of the Enoe, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and attacked Mino for the second time after three years, forcing Saito Yoshiryu to be killed by his cronies and take Mino into his pocket, and after a year of silence, Guo Jia sent troops again, this time he came to Omi.

A series of things will make people think that Guo Jia is interested here, but as his sister, he has found an alternative perspective to look at this matter that ordinary people can't find.

"Brother is going to Luo?" Just after Ah Shi opened his mouth without thinking, many people came intermittently outside the council hall. This is a retainer of Asai Nagamasa.

"Yikes! This group of people is here, nerd, I'll go back first, and I'll clean you up at night! Ah Shi watched the people outside the door walk into Asai Nagamasa's ear and whispered that she was going to let Asai Nagamasa accept a punishment.

Seeing this, Asai Nagamasa also smiled wryly, this Ah Shi was indeed spoiled by Guo Jia, fortunately, she was respectful in front of people and did not destroy Asai Nagamasa's face, but when there was no one, it was different, Ah Shi would definitely bully him into a complete body.

"All here?" Can't think too much, so many retainers outside the door must have come here spontaneously to discuss important matters, and Asai Nagamasa also estimated that it should be Guo Jia's troops.

"My lord, I received news that Guo Jia led his troops to attack our Omi?" The one who spoke was one of Asai Nagamasa's right-hand men, Endo Kiemon, who was Omi's most powerful general besides Asai Nagamasa!

"Come in and talk about it." Asai Nagamasa shook his head, it seemed that this group of retainers should have been greeted by Uemon.

"Looks like you've all gotten the message." Asai Nagamasa made himself appear light-hearted, not wanting his retainers to see his anxious side.

"My lord, you must know that Oda Guojia is very ambitious! If he comes to attack us, Omi won't be in trouble if he doesn't make preparations! "Uemon is right, he did have foresight, but this is only for Guo Jia's plan to attack Omi.

"Gentlemen, which of you has evidence that Guo Jiajun will attack our Omi." Asai Nagamasa knocked on the table as he spoke, and for some reason he just believed in his wife and his brother.

Guo Jia is ambitious, but he is not the kind of greedy person. He had been with Guo Jia for a while, and knew that this person was resolute in his work, and if he wanted to attack Omi, of course he would launch that kind of unstoppable offensive, so why let his spies find out!

"Everyone, listen to me first. Guo Jiajun sent troops to Omi this time and entered the Omi border, but he didn't attack the neighboring cities at all, I think his purpose should not be here. Asai Nagamasa said what Aichi had just said.

"What if it's Shangluo?" But as a national daimyo, he has to be the kind of person who can control the overall situation, and he doesn't want to be labeled as a mediocre man after death like Saito Yoshiryu.

"But that's just my guess, you go back and gather your soldiers now. We are here waiting for Guo Jiajun's arrival. "Asai Nagamasa made it very clear that he would not anger a person who was in the limelight, and he would not sit idly by.

Because he didn't know whether Guo Jia was going to Shangluo, because the news hadn't reached him yet.
