47, the real "hero"
"Thank you so hard! I can't thank you enough! I said excitedly, and my excitement was palpable. At the same time, he shook hands tightly with Takenaka Hanbei, Keer Caizang, Nagano Yosei, Otani Yoshitsugu and Ishikawa Tadsuna in turn.
"Your lordship...... You've won a lot! The embarrassed expression on Takenaka's face completely explained his surprise at the moment, and the expressions of the other people were similar to him, after all, this expression of the "chief" in this era still seemed a little out of place.
"Don't be embarrassed, you can't be overstated in any kind of praise...... "I really couldn't calm down for a while. The situation in the big tent that day was so dramatic that Shibata Katsuie was immediately "dumbfounded" when he heard the news, and immediately after Oda Nobunaga praised me, I was greeted with a flood of compliments, if it weren't for Ikeda Hengxing's sentence "The stars alone can rule the world!" "Wake me up quickly, I really don't know how long I'm going to be addicted! When I came to my senses, I immediately saw Oda Nobunaga's fleeting doubts and the faint color of "monkey". After a humble explanation of "luck", I feel that some of the negative effects have been eliminated, and any previous unfavorable speculation about me has finally been completely eliminated. "By the way, how the hell did you do that?" I finally calmed down my excitement, and after sitting down, I began to ask what had happened.
"Speaking of which, it's all about the lord's blessing!" The half-guard said with a smile. "At the beginning, we didn't have a definite target, just looking for fighters in the north-central region. But then an unexpected situation happened.,About this matter was discovered by a ninja under Ishikawa-sama.,Let's ask him to explain it to you! β
"Oh?" I turned to Ishikawa Tadazuna with curiosity. "What the hell is going on?"
"It's a very accidental...... "Ishikawa is not a modest person, although he said such things, he still has a smug look on his face." About 10 days ago, we spotted a couple of suspicious guys in a town called 'Little Market', who looked very sneaky even though they were monks but had to dress up as merchants! I heard a report from my subordinates that they might have a problem, so I went to their house that night to inquire in person...... And guess what? β
"What's going on?" I inquired eagerly.
"What's going on? Ha, ha, they turned out to be the secret envoys sent to Nagashima Castle by Honganji Xianru! "Seeing the level of attention I paid took, his interest grew." As soon as I found out about this, I immediately reported it to Takenaka-sama! After getting his order, I asked my men to 'invite' them all back! β
"I was just afraid that those guys on Long Island would make a difference, but I didn't expect this to be a big opportunity!" Seeing that my gaze turned to him, the half-guard of Takenaka took the conversation. "After Ishikawa-sama 'communicated' with them, they were still relatively cooperative! In fact, there is no important information, but Honganji Xianru wants to know about the battle situation in Ise, and since the victory of Shinchoden is a foregone conclusion, he orders Kanshuji and other troops to shrink the defense line and hold Nagashima! β
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, does it?" I asked, puzzled.
"Yes, but there are other things!" Hanbei Takenaka continued: "During the interrogation, we unexpectedly learned that this messenger was originally from the Kaga Itsunaga sect, and he was transferred to the headquarters of Ishiyama Honganji Temple not long ago, and no one knew him in Nagashima Castle at all! So ......"
"So you're here for a graft?" I kind of understood what they were thinking. "Yes...... There are more than 10,000 defenders in Long Island City, even if a few people are sent in, it won't help, right? β
"The lord is very worried!" Hanbei Takenaka nodded sympathetically. "But then we came up with a solution! After I forged a warrant, I sent a few ninjas disguised as the secret envoy and his retinue, and after entering the city, I said to Keiru of the Shoshoji Temple: The main force of the Oda family is gathered under the castle of Okochi, so I ordered him to lead an army to attack Cheongju and take Gibu directly! β
"Brilliant plan!" After the loud applause, I immediately had strong doubts. "If Hui Cheng Temple is an old slippery man who has become a refinement, will he believe it?"
"Of course it's not that easy!" Takenaka Hanbei said: "I also thought that this situation might occur, so I arranged a set of arguments in advance!" The 'secret envoy' pretended to be drunk at the banquet and said to Megumi of Shoshoji Temple: Matsunaga and Tsutsui have made an agreement with Honganji Temple that once Shin Nagaden returns to the rescue of the teacher, they will defect in front of the battle! also said that this is a secret among secrets, and the old monk can't help but believe it! As a result, on the night of the second day of his elated departure, the 'secret envoy' and his retinue opened the gates of Long Island, and the 1,000 remaining troops were annihilated before they could figure out what was going on! β
"Ha, ha......" I laughed happily, and no one would be indifferent to this temptation. Presumably, after that old monk knew the truth, he would be mad, right? β
"Of course!" Ke'er just hid and hurriedly said. "That old bald man rushed back in less than a day, and surrounded Long Island City like an iron bucket from all sides! Those monks and soldiers were already crazy, but now they have become rabbit eyes when they are taken to the nest. For the first two days, they surged up like wolves, no matter how much we killed them, they wouldn't retreat. If it weren't for the fact that there was a big river to the west and they didn't bring a boat with them, we really wouldn't be able to spread the line, and we would not be able to hold on! "Although Master is a monk, he still has no respect for Buddhism.
"And how did you end up breaking through the encirclement?" I felt that there was nothing I could do in this situation.
"It's all thanks to Takenaka-sama's ingenuity!" Ke'er Caizang pointed to the half-soldier and said admiringly.
"Actually, it's nothing......" suddenly became the focus of everyone, and the half-guard looked a little shy. I saw that the camp of the Sect of Ichizong was set up in a hurry at the head of the city, and because it was originally planned to be a surprise attack, there was not a lot of baggage, so I suddenly thought of an idea! He took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and said, "We have gathered all the ships of the city to the water gate on the west side, and filled them with sacks, large and small. I wish that Huiru thought that we were going to retreat by water with our baggage, and now we are in a hurry! He knew that if he didn't have this grain and grass, even if he recaptured Long Island City, he would definitely not be able to hold it. In order to intercept us, he moved all his main forces to the bank of the river west of the city, but since there were no boats, they had to temporarily set up some small rafts to fill up the matter. At the same time, Ishikawa-sama's ninjas also attacked their camp, burning and destroying his food and siege equipment, without which they could not attack or be trapped, and they were afraid that the reinforcements from the Shin Nagaden Hall would arrive, so they had to flee in embarrassment! β
"Thank you so much!" I really don't know what to say, but they have achieved far more than I expected.
"But it's a pity! There are so many things......" Ke'er said reluctantly: "Shibata is too close to this old thing!" β
"Be content!" I smiled and comforted him. "This time, just the harvest of Ise Kameyama Castle will be enough, and with your merits, I think His Highness Nobunaga will not pursue it again!"
"Two more days! Two days will be fine! Ke'er Caizang said bitterly: "In two days, all the good things will be shipped out!" That's where it goes......"
"What? Did you ship things out of Long Island? "They surprised me again.
"Time is running out!" Takenaka's half-guard looked very sorry. "The ninjas shipped some small treasures in batches, and when they withdrew from Long Island, they scattered the soldiers and brought out about 20,000 gold judgments, and the rest was too late......"
"Ahem, ahemγ...... "These guys are really more daring than me now." Wouldn't that go wrong? β
"No, it won't!" Nagano Yesmori said with certainty. "I've double-checked all the captives, and there's no anyone important in there!"
"We occupied Long Island late at night! When the enemy resisted, they knocked over the candles and burned all the files in the tent......" Yoshitsugu Otani smiled mysteriously. "It's definitely all burned, I saw it burn with my own eyes!"
"That's a pity......," I sighed with a "frustrated" shake of my head. They're so thoughtful, I'm not worried.
"My lord, Nakamura-sama is here!" Then the doorman came in and reported.
"Lord Stars!" Nakamura Kazushi looked full of spring breeze. "My lord wants to meet these heroes of yours!"
"Okay, let's go over then!" I stood up, but then took advantage of the fact that no one was looking, and pulled the half-guard of Takenaka. "Don't be too flamboyant when you can speak, and emphasize the luck factor!"
"Yes!"
