"Lord Stars, please!" Standing in front of the tent, Yuchai Hidecho opened the curtain for me, and then shouted inside: "Brother, Lord Zhuxing has come to see you!" ”

"Forget it, don't move if it's inconvenient!" Seeing that Hideyoshi Hashiba wanted to get up from the couch with great effort, I hurriedly stopped him. As a dormitory of the same subordinate general, this is about the same size as mine, but it is very different due to the living habits of the owner. On a low table, in addition to Hideyoshi's saber, there were five or six spare; Near the door there was a horizontal row of shelfs, on which were a dozen or so seven-foot guns, enough to be copied in the event of an accident outside; Even the walls of the tent were hung with bows and arrows, and the only daily necessities were a low couch inside, on which Hideyoshi Yushiba was lying at the moment.

"Tadahei-sama, Ikeda-sama, please take a seat!" Asano Nagamasa, who was serving on the side, brought two marching horses and placed them on the side of the low couch.

"I didn't pick you up but asked you to come and see me, really!" Hideyoshi Hashiba struggled to sit up straight, his face pale but his spirit looked good. "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived! It's inconvenient for the lord now, so I'll come and see you first! "I sat down on a maza, and Ikeda sat slightly back." Why was he so careless, he was so seriously injured! ”

"After receiving such a great favor from the lord, I can only repay it with ten thousand deaths!" Although he said that he was hurt, his face was irrepressible pride. "As a general, the lord ordered me to command thousands of troops alone! Fortunately, he broke the city in one fell swoop, and finally lived up to the trust of the lord! ”

"Tell me more!" Asano Nagamasa said angrily. "We're unlucky! The lord asked the generals to capture the various branches of Okochi separately, but we just got such a difficult bone as Asaka Castle! It stands to reason that at this time, everyone understands that the Kitabatake family is about to end, and as long as they send someone to say hello, they will basically surrender. But the father and son of the Omiya who guarded Asaka City were not among them, and both father and son were stinky and hard-hearted! "He's already gritting his teeth when he says this." Three charges were knocked down in a row, and more than 500 people were killed in total! Although we have 3,000 troops, we actually have only 1,000 troops. People have already died, and even if the explanation is over, if we don't make an appearance ourselves, others will naturally not play with their lives again. No way! My brother-in-law can only lead by example, and it will be like this with an arrow from the city! ”

Looking at the left leg of the monkey wrapped like an elephant, I asked strangely, "I thought it was a miscommunication!" It's just a feathered arrow, how can it hurt like this? ”

"Or how to say bad luck!" Asano Nagamasa rushed to say it again. "But...... It's also that he's too conspicuous! The one who shot him was the son of Omiya Irimichi, the famous fierce general of the Kitabatake family, Omiya Oyuki Keiren. Fortunately, it was not directly nailed to the thigh bone, otherwise this leg would definitely be useless! ”

"Although Omiya's father and son were killed in battle, we captured many prisoners...... "Hashiba Hidecho added on the side, "According to the captive's confession: Omiya Keiren was aiming at the front of the chest at the time, but he broke the bowstring because he used too much force!" Otherwise......" He shook his head with trepidation.

"But it's a loss and a gain! If you are promoted to a general, you will enter the ranks of important ministers, and it will not be far from the city lord if you work hard in the future! I lowered my voice and said, "How's that!" In the future, whether to come out on his own or continue to govern directly, does the lord have any clear statement? ”

"Not yet!" Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head. "But judging from the current situation, I should have to stay with the lord for a while! Recently, due to the rapid expansion of the territory, there have been too many people who have been sent out, Niwa-sama, Shibata-sama, and Mori-sama、...... And you, the lord's side seems a little thinner! ”

"That's fine......" I nodded and said, "I've always been worried that after we are all gone, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng and others will make ghosts, Hengxing is alone after all." It's good now! When you get to this position, you can talk, and many things will be easier. Will your territory increase? "I know that he only has 1,000 stone that he was sealed when he captured Inabayama Castle.

"Yes!" He looked excited. "The lord mentioned that it was 3,000 stones, and the specific place will be decided after going back!"

"It's really not easy to get something from the master!" Ikeda Hengxing, who had not spoken since he came in, suddenly sighed.

"Don't keep saying such frustrating things! Nagamasa ...... "I stopped his cold water and turned to Asano Nagamasa. "I heard you're also a general? It's only been a few years, and I was right! Follow your brother-in-law honestly, and you will be productive! ”

"Yes, that's true, but ......," he said, looking at me and then at the "monkey" lying on the couch, with a look of frustration, "the price is too great, isn't it?" If only it could be as easy as you! ”

"Do you have anything to eat here? I haven't eaten lunch yet! "I don't think this weird association is a good place to go.

"Lord Stars!" At this time, Hidemasa Hori poked his head in from the door. "The lord has woken up, and he wants to see you immediately!"

*******************************************************

"Alright, so be it!" Oda Nobunaga sat on the right seat with a proud attitude, raised his right hand and waved it casually at the Mizutani Punishment Department, the envoy of the Kitabatake family. "You can go down! When I go back, tell Kitabatake Gonaka Nayan that I will keep everyone in Okochi Castle safe as promised! ”

"Yes, yes, thank you!" Mizutani said as he retreated to the gate, his face almost touching the ground. In this day and age, there is no dignity to talk about without a loser who has committed suicide. This is the 10th day since I arrived at Oda Camp, and the Kitabatake family has finally succumbed to Oda Nobunaga's strong pressure. Kitabatake Gukyo retired and his family was confined to Misekan, and the Kitabatake family kept the family name and the territory was reduced to 100,000 koku, and Oda Nobunaga's Mio Nobuo succeeded to the position of family governor.

"Ha, ha, ha, it's finally done!" As soon as the Mizutani Criminal Department went out, Oda Nobunaga shouted excitedly, and he would be so unruly without the participation of foreign ministers in this meeting. "Everyone has worked hard this time, and I thank Nobunaga from the bottom of my heart!"

"I am willing to do my best for the Oda family and swear to repay the great kindness of the lord!" Everyone in the audience will answer in unison.

"Alright, I got it!" Oda Shin Changchun nodded frequently with a breezy face. "In this battle of Katsura Seyama, Quan Roku and Ichiyi performed very well, and they made a lot of credit for breaking through the defense line of the Kitabatake Army in one fell swoop!"

"Thank you for your compliment, this is my duty!"

"And 'monkeys'!" He turned to Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was lame and came to attend. "He took the lead in the attack on Asaka Castle and contributed to the dismantling of Okochi Castle's defense system!"

"The great kindness of the lord is difficult for me to repay with broken bones!" Hideyoshi's face flushed.

"And then there's the Tadabei!" I didn't expect Oda Nobunaga to think of me. "The clever plan to capture Ise Kameyama Castle is decisive for the rapid pacification of the entire territory of Ise!"

"Thank you......"

"Lord Zhuxing is really hard working!" I was about to open my mouth, but Shibata Katsuya opened his mouth first. "Being able to conquer a city guarded by 500 people in one fell swoop, Lord Zhuxing is really very brave! Ise Kameyama Castle has abundant reserves, so Lord Zhuxing must have made a fortune, right? ”

"I'm worried about Lord Lao Shibata!" I cursed the bastard in my heart. "Central Ise is full of scattered remnants of Kitabatake, and Shibata-sama wants me to return the things to them?"

"Lord Zhuxing only brought 500 people to Dahani City to assist, which is really commendable!" At this time, Lin Tongsheng suddenly opened his mouth. "Could it be that Lord Zhuxing is planning to use these 500 people to attack the city?"

"No matter how I say it, I can't come to compete with a senior like Lord Lin!" That being said, I was really shocked, how did these two guys who never got along with each other stand up against me? "Besides, with Lord Lin's age, there aren't many opportunities like this!"

"Lord Hayashi is far-fetched, right?" Ikeda saw the problem and began to speak. "The order that the lord gave to Lord Zhuxing was harassed from behind?"

"Really?" Shibata Katsuie smiled contemptuously: "I haven't heard any new news for so long!" ”

Yuchai Hideyoshi immediately said: "There must be a chance to fight the crowd with less!" ”

"Report to the Lord!" Just as the debate continued to expand, Nobunaga was already displeased, and a servant came in to tell him. "There's a messenger from Long Island City!"

"Long Island!" Everyone was shocked, could it be that those monks who had always been in the sect were looking for trouble again? "Let him in!" Oda Nobunaga said anxiously.

"Tell the main hall!" A herald stumbled in, and to his surprise, he actually had the "Zhuxing Maru" flag behind his back, and what was even more shocking was what he said. "Lord Zhuxing's Bamboo Central attacked Nagashima City in one fell swoop 4 days ago!"
