"How could it be...... How could it be ......" After a moment of deathly silence, a few dreamy mutters came out of Sasa Naruma's mouth.

"How did you break through Long Island?" As soon as Oda Nobunaga woke up from the great shock, he immediately fell into deep doubt again.

"Return to the main hall,......" The herald's voice was a little hurried, and his face was slightly pale. At this time, I had just seen his face, he had been transferred from my personal army to Takenaka Hanbei not long ago. "Our army transferred the main force of the Yixiang Sect in Long Island City out of the plan, and opened the city gate at night to attack and occupy the whole city!"

"According to you, the occupation of Long Island was four days ago...... Lin Tongsheng asked a little flustered. But why didn't you get here until today! ”

"The head of the sect, Huiru, found out that he had been deceived, and immediately surrounded Nagashima with 10,000 troops!" The herald turned to him. "I was wounded when I went down to the camp, and my horse died, so I arrived here two days late!" That's when I saw that there was still a trace of blood oozing from under the armor on his shoulder.

"You go down and rest first!" Oda Nobunaga waved his hand at him, and immediately said to the attendants beside him: "Treat this brother well, and let the medical officer treat him immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The chamberlain agreed, and went over and helped the herald out.

"Tell me, what should we do next?" Oda Nobunaga asked aloud to the crowd, his tone heavily nasal due to his excessive excitement.

"Congratulations, my lord!" Hideyoshi Hashiba said before everyone else. "This time I won Nagashima Castle in one fell swoop, and Ise will never have to worry about it again! Honganji has always been a yang and yin against the lord's supremacy in, take this incident as an example: although Honganji Xianru is superficially neutral and independent, in fact, not only did he instruct the people of Kii to help the Kitabatake family, but even Meruru of Nagashima's Kanshoji Temple directly sent his followers to join the army of the Kitabatake Gukyo! The repeated well-intentioned warnings of the lord are always false and wronged, and they quibble that they cannot restrain their personal behavior. If we continue to tolerate such behavior, I am afraid that the daimyo who were already attached to the lord will also have different hearts! ”

I looked at him gratefully and nodded. "Monkey" is really alert enough, and these words have helped me to find out the pulse of Oda Nobunaga, and these words are not suitable for me to say in person now.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Ikeda Hengxing also reacted at this time, and said quickly. Three years ago, Yixiang Sect used Changdao as a base to break my Xiaomu River and kill His Royal Highness Xinxing! Lord Zhuxing's move is not only a snow of His Royal Highness's old hatred, but also the rear of the family, Qingzhou and other places, have no worries! "At this time, all the ministers also chimed in, and my prestige seemed to rise in a moment.

"This time...... It doesn't seem like the family has any intention of fighting Honganji, right? "Maybe just thinking about suppressing my influence, Lin Tongsheng made an exception and said something that was not well thought out.

"Lord Lin Zuo Wataru is really worthy of being an auxiliary minister, and the old Cheng Mouguo is not comparable to us juniors!" I reached out and pressed Ikeda Hengxing, who was about to get erect, and I laughed in my heart and grabbed his fox tail. "I may have been a little reckless this time...... Or else! How about we return Nagashima Castle to Honganji Temple as Sado-samaru wants, and then send someone to explain the situation and apologize? With that, I cast a meaningful look at Oda Nobunaga.

I say this because I know that Oda Nobunaga is the last thing to listen to. Sure enough, his eyes immediately turned triangular and he snorted heavily through his nose.

"I'm not...... There is no ......" Lin Tongsheng hurriedly defended, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead at the same time. "Actually, I didn't mean that!"

"But it sounds like you mean it clearly, what else is there to hide?" Ikeda Hengxing, who has always looked at him unpleasantly, will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Alright! That's all for that! Although Oda Nobunaga glared at Hayashi Tongkatsu, he was able to stop this controversy that might have brought the factional contradictions to the surface. We have to take action in the face of this sudden situation, and that's what I care about right now! ”

"My lord is right!" Niwa Nagahide said hurriedly. He has always played a role in bridging the relationship between the parties within the Oda family, and I have noticed that he is secretly frowning from just now. "Actually, this is a great opportunity, just to wipe out the Ichijo Sect forces in Kii in one fell swoop! Now the main force of the monks and soldiers is stuck under the city of Long Island, and because of the defeat just now, it is the time of low morale. The lord should lead a large army north as soon as possible to encircle them, and we are sure of victory against these more than 10,000 people. Honganji Xianru has always emphasized that the Ichijo sect of Ise is not satisfied with the dispatch and sent troops without authorization, and the lord will destroy them, and Honganji must not be able to say anything! It's just that we must be fast, if it is late, not only will Long Island gain and lose, but the people and horses in the middle of the bamboo will also be in danger! ”

"Yyogoro is right, or are you really thinking about the country!" Oda Nobunaga nodded with great satisfaction, and then glanced around us with stern eyes. "Good! Then I'll ......."

"Slow down!" Akechi Mitsuhide, who had never opened his mouth, suddenly stepped forward to stop Oda Nobunaga's order. "For the ministers, it is not suitable for the whole army to go north immediately!"

"Oh! Why? Oda Nobunaga was not angry, but a little puzzled.

"Kitabatake is newly surrendered and is currently only a verbal promise, and the whole army will be organized for going out of the city! Once the lord's army leaves lightly, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen......" Akechi Mitsuhide continued to explain to him: "If the temple is lost Nagashima Castle, the power of the Honkoji sect has actually lost its foundation in Ise, and there is no need for the lord to annihilate them all!" At present, the first priority of the family is to keep the Kitabatake Gukyo in Okochi Castle, and we should supervise them to dismantle the castle defenses and dismiss the army, and then the army will quickly return to Gibu Castle to stabilize. As for Long Island......" he groaned slightly. "I foolishly thought that as long as we sent a general to lead more than 10,000 troops to rush to the aid and attack with the stars in Long Island City, it would not be difficult to defeat them! This can also be regarded as giving Honganji a face, and it will win a certain amount of time for the lord to completely control. ”

"Not bad! It's still wise to think about it, so it's foolproof! Niwa Nagahide was not upset that his opinion was rejected, and sincerely expressed his admiration. I also nodded secretly, after all, the mobilization of the whole army will delay time, and God knows what kind of situation the half-guards have become!

"Alright! This time, I will spare these thieves first! "After some consideration, Oda Nobunaga agreed to his suggestion, but it was not actually in line with Nobunaga's character." With Quan Liu as the general, he led 15,000 men and horses to gallop to the aid of Long Island! Let's start early tomorrow morning! ”

"Yes! The subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the lord! Shibata Katsuya responded with great pride, and then glanced at me arrogantly. When it comes to the true nature of being a samurai, it is natural to gallop on the battlefield and fight bravely! How can the incompetent people, who rely on intrigue and intrigue to see the light of day, understand such noble integrity? ”

"You're ......!" Ikeda's seizure was held down by me again, and I had to endure whatever they said for the sake of the Takenaka half-guards. To make it look less embarrassing, I threw an unfathomable smile at that bastard of Shibata Katsuya.

"Kwon Liu, you can't say that!" Oda Nobunaga probably felt that allowing his arguments to go unchecked would offend all the subordinates of the civil service. "After all, strategy and martial arts are equally important!"

"Yes, my lord!" Although Shibata Katsuya said this, his attitude still seemed to be very arrogant.

"Repay the Lord!" Then a close attendant came in and said, "There's another person on Long Island!" ”

"Someone again?" Everyone was stunned, but I raised my heart to my throat! "They're going to have to do something!" I prayed silently in my heart.

"Call him in!" Listening to the tone, Oda Nobunaga is no more relaxed than me.

"Enlighten the Great Hall!" Another herald carrying the "Zhuxing Maru" and leaning on the flag ran in. "Our army defeated the main force of Kemiru Kanshoji in one fell swoop the night before yesterday, and the enemy is currently fleeing towards the Kii border!" He took a slight breath and said, "...... According to the latest information, most of the enemy troops have already fled as soon as they arrive in central Ise! ”

There was silence again in the tent......
