"With the Asami ...... below" After receiving the signal from Oda Nobunaga, Matsunaga Hideshi continued: "In terms of strength alone, even the strength of the Asakura and Asai families is only a million stone territory, which is far from being able to compete with His Royal Highness Dan Zhengzhong!" It can be said that Asai Nagamasa has taken a great risk, and if he fails to take advantage of this sudden attack to completely solve the problem, he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover. Therefore, Asakura and Asai must hope at this moment that our army will attack one of them with all their might, and then attack together when our army is exhausted! ”

Speaking of this, he sank for a moment, and everyone around him was waiting for his words, but I faintly heard Sasa Chengzheng muttering in a low voice, "...... Who doesn't know this......"

"So......" Matsunaga Shu should have heard this, but ignored him. The main goal of our army at the moment should be 'walking', not 'fighting'! If you want to take revenge, you will have a chance in the future! ”

"How do you 'go' without 'fighting'?" It was Lin Tongsheng who asked this, and he seemed a little anxious at the moment.

"Our army can turn west from Kanegasaki to ......," Matsunaga Hide's words shocked everyone except me. Crossing the corner of Kita-Omi and entering Wakasa, you can reach Kyoto by taking the west side of Lake Biwa, and then our army will be in the sea of dragons! ”

"Wouldn't there be a fierce battle that would happen then?" Niwa Nagahide asked uneasily: "Asai Nagamasa may send someone to guard it, and Wakasa is Asakura Yoshikei's territory, and there may also be heavy troops!" ”

"In order to resist this attack, Asakura's troops are concentrated in the front of Ichijo Valley Castle, and now Wakasa must be empty! Omi ......" Matsunaga smiled honestly when he said this, but I felt that there was an indescribable mystery in it. "The only big stronghold of the Asai family in this direction is Kuchigi Valley Castle, and its lord Kuchigi Mototsuna has a deep personal relationship with Zaixia!"

"Ah~!" A few people in the tent exclaimed.

"Mototsuna Kuchigi is an old man from Kita-Omi......," he continued. In that feud twenty years ago, their position was closer to that of the Kyogoku family, which led to their decline after the Asai family came to power. Although this situation was alleviated after Asai Nagamasa succeeded him as the family governor, Mototsuna Kuchigi was still excluded from the inner circle of the Asai family. Don't talk about the red, the sea, and the rain, it's not even as good as Nomura Dingyuan and Mitamura Hidetoshi! For the sake of the great cause of His Royal Highness Oda Dan Masatada, I am willing to personally go out to lobby Kuchiki Mototsuna, and I will definitely tell him to go out of the city and surrender! ”

"Your Highness Matsunaga is really sincere, I will never forget your heart!" After pondering for a moment and exchanging glances with several important ministers, Oda Nobunaga said. "At present, considering various circumstances, His Royal Highness Matsunaga's suggestion can be described as the best policy, but we should still plan carefully, Asakura Yoshikei and Asai Nagamasa will not sit idly by and watch us leave safely, in order to gain time for the whole army to move in, someone must block the pursuers!" He glanced around the faces of the crowd with a sharp gaze. "It's a dangerous mission, one can say it's a one-life trip, but it's a must! I'd like to hear what you think. ”

There was an unbearable silence, and everyone was pondering, even reckless men like Shibata Katsuya and Sasa Narumasa did not talk easily, and the result of serving as the palace army was almost conceivable. After a while, almost everyone raised their heads, but instead of speaking, they quietly observed the expressions of others.

Oda Nobunaga looked at me twice, and Ikeda Tsuneko kept staring at me, but I deliberately didn't look at them. Although I am very confident in the combat power of the "Star Armored Cavalry", I also know very well that its strength is not to fight defensive battles, and it is a joke to drag 20,000 people with 1,000 cavalry, and if you use fixed fortifications, the advantage of cavalry will be lost. I've been secretly watching Hideyoshi Hashiba, and according to history, he will get out safely! I don't dare to try whether my luck will be so good, of course, if history changes, it is better for him to die than for me to die, the so-called "dead friends do not die poor"!

"Lord!" Sure enough, after a fierce battle of ideas, he opened his mouth, and at the same time, Oda Nobunaga's patience was almost at the end. "I, Fuji Yoshiro, have been unable to repay the great favor of the lord, and I am willing to lead 1,000 palaces under my command to block the enemy army!" After saying this, his chest rose and fell violently.

"Monkey ......" Oda Nobunaga's voice seemed a little rough, and my eyes were not very good, and I couldn't see if he had tears in his eyes. It's great that you have such an awareness! ”

"But ......" Niwa Nagahide said worriedly: "Fujiyoshiro's mind is good, after all, his strength is a little weaker, but there are 24,000 people in Asakura!" This sentence made the atmosphere that had just loosened tense again.

"Since Lord Yuchai is in charge, how can we Mikawa Samurai be left behind!" Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has rarely expressed opinions, said slowly. "Your Highness Oda, please allow me to lead 5,000 Mikawa troops to meet Hashiba-sama! Your Highness, you can rest assured, we will make it difficult for the Asakura army to cross the thunder pond one step! ”

"I'm relieved to have His Royal Highness Tokugawa come out!" Oda Nobunaga did breathe a sigh of relief. "Let's talk about ...... again"

At this moment, a guard walked in from the door, quietly came behind Takigawa Ichiyi and whispered a few words, and Takigawa Ichiyi's face immediately turned sallow. "Lord...... Something new has happened! He said with difficulty.

"What's the matter?!" Oda Nobunaga was keenly aware that it was never a good thing.

"A ninja just came to report ......" Takigawa Kazuyi's face was bloodless, and there seemed to be something stuffed in his throat. Hideharu Hatano accepted Asakura Yoshikei's request to send troops to stop our army, and now their 15,000 troops have been stationed on the line of Wakasa Kohama Castle, and the general general is Shioni Kyoye! ”

"It's over!" Not to mention the shock of other people, I felt that my eyes were dark. History has changed, the only passage has been blocked, this time it can be described as "there is no way to heaven, no door to the earth!" "Will Wakasa still be able to follow this path? It's a bit of a fuss, but as far as I know, the terrain isn't very easy to navigate. "I've been at Katsura Kawaguchi Castle for so long, why didn't I think of building a fleet on Lake Biwa?" I regretted jumping into the lake, but I wasn't good enough to swim to get out.

"No matter what, a fierce battle is inevitable, so let's fight with Asai Nagamasa in a dignified manner!" In the midst of the chaos, the cold voice of Inaba Kachitetsu suddenly sounded.

"Although the Asai army is slightly smaller than the Asakura army, when it comes to quality, it is far superior to the Asakura army......" Lin Tongsheng looked left and right and continued: "In fact, in all aspects, the Asai army can be said to be the strongest of the three enemy armies!" Although the Asakura army was outnumbered, it was poorly trained and demoralized; Hatano is remote and rushed to the war, but I am afraid that the determination is not very great. In this way, it seems that the odds of winning a battle with any of them are much better than those of the Asai family! ”

"What Lord Hayashi Sato Mamoru said is very true, but ......" is worthy of being a partner for many years, and the family Buquan immediately understood what Inaba Yitie meant, and at the same time, he was also very clear about the upright characteristics of this old friend, and began to explain for him. Even if we win the battle against Asakura or Hatano, what can we do? The Asakura army will fight and retreat, while the Hatano army will not confront our army head-on at all! In the face of this situation, it is an unrealistic fantasy for us to wipe out all the forces of Asakura in the short term or to break through the dangerous terrain of Hatano's heavy defenses! ”

"Which shallow well ......" Lin Tongsheng wanted to continue to ask. This civil official really has no strategic vision, and most of the others have already understood the stake at this time.

"The Asai family is very different...... "The family Buquan is indeed very good-tempered and patient." Behind the Asai family is the base of the family, as long as our army rushes through with all its strength, it will be a victory! At the same time, although Asai Nagamasa blocked our way home, it was not completely out of the ordinary. The last stretch of the Hokuriku Province from Omi to Kyoto is relatively wide and flat, and it is so much better than the terrain of Wakasa! As far as I know, the position where the Asai army can block our army is the section from the Oshoji Pass to the intersection between Otani Castle and Kanehama. Even here, the terrain is not very rugged, and our cavalry and iron artillery have certain advantages, and even if they have a large joint battle, the chances of victory will be higher! ”

The reason was already quite obvious, so it was not difficult to make a decision, and Oda Nobunaga quickly made up his mind. "Everyone! This is a moment related to our life and death, and related to the overall situation of the world, and I don't need to say that everyone can fully understand our situation at the moment! Whether or not you can survive in a desperate situation depends on your bravery and loyalty, so let Asai and Asakura understand the stupidity of fighting against you! ”

"Yes!" The response of the crowd in unison returned to its former grandeur.

"Shibata Katsuie is the first team, His Royal Highness Inaba is the second team, and Sakuma Nobumori is the third team, and they are marching towards Gibu Castle on the Hokuriku Road!" The monkey is the palace army, His Royal Highness Tokugawa is in charge of receiving it, and the others are acting with the main camp! Go back and get ready this evening! "The people whose names were called by Oda Nobunaga answered the promise in turn, and he called Hideyoshi Hashiba again." 'Monkey', come back alive to see me! ”

"Yes!" Hideyoshi's voice was already a little choked.

"You've got it all right!" As soon as I came out of the big tent, Ikeda Hengxing grabbed me.

"There are a lot of things I didn't think of!" I remembered the accident of the Hatano family, and there was a little more bitterness in my voice.

"Are you sure?"

"Nope!"

"No?! Which ......"

Although this sentence is very inconsistent with my character, I still have to say...... "I looked up at the sky, and the noon sun actually carried a hint of the blood red of the setting sun." Face the music...... Brave ~ Whoever ~ wins! ”
