At the beginning of June, Lu Yitong commanded an army of 200,000, a navy of 50,000, and more than 400 warships, known as the army of 400,000, and left Pusan and headed straight for Osaka. He didn't know how many forces would eventually arrive in Osaka, and he didn't care about that, because he had already made up his mind that anyone who dared to stand on the side of Oda Nobutada, the Emperor, and Mt. Hiei would be killed.

Yes, Oda Nobutada, the Emperor and Hieiyama, although Lu Yi was very angry, but he did not lose his mind because of this, he knew very well who his real enemy was, although he disliked those bald asses very, very much, but for the real Taoist monks, although he did not like them, Lu Yi still gave them respect.

In fact, this is also a compromise, because there are so many followers of Buddhism in the whole of Japan, should all these people be converted? No way! The only thing Lu Yi could do was to prohibit Buddhism from interfering in politics. At the same time, various decrees were passed to downgrade the status of Buddhism. He believes that those real Taoist monks will not care about fame and fortune, and if they do, then they will naturally not be Taoist monks......

Although this still brought a lot of trouble to Lu Yi and even the Lu family, as a real monk came forward, the Buddhist sect also calmed down.

Azuchi Castle.

"It's a pity that the people of the Uesugi family don't want to be enemies of the Lu family." I don't know how to say lightly.

"The same is true of the Takeda family...... I don't know what to say, I don't know how to laugh, but my smile is full of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, Lord Akechi and Lord Hosokawa have gone into seclusion, and the new governors of the family, Hosokawa Tadashi and Akechi Tamako, have chosen to support the Lu family." Konoe said in a deep voice.

"Although the governor of the Ryuzoji family, Ryuzoji Takanobu agreed to support the family, he was forced to live in seclusion by his retainers...... "The Kikutei sunny season did not bring any good news.

"The little monk personally went to many monasteries to persuade him, but no monastery was willing to be an enemy of the Lu family, and only a few monks and believers chose to follow the little monk, with less than 10,000 people." Honganji Kyoru's tone was also very heavy. At this point, he seemed to understand why when he decided to unite with the emperor and others, he was opposed by his father, Honganji Akiru.

"Maybe my father had already guessed this result, right?" Honganji thought helplessly in his heart.

"Bastard! Bastard! It's all a bunch of bastards! Have they all forgotten their oath to royalty? Don't they know who they are today?! "The Emperor of Shokincho roared angrily, so there is still a little bit of the emperor's majesty?

And the expressions of Konoe and the others were not much better, and they obviously didn't expect that the appeal of the imperial family would fall to this point.

"In that case, let's prepare to defend the city as soon as possible......" Oda Nobutada said lightly, his expression was neither happy nor sad, as if he didn't know what the current situation meant.

"Shou? With what to keep? Is it just that there are more than 100,000 people in the city?! Emperor Shokincho asked angrily.

"Or else?" Oda Nobutada looked at the Emperor of Masakincho with a sneer, then ignored everyone and turned to leave. Seeing this, he did not know and did not know how to bow to the emperor of Shokincho and walked out with him.

When the three of them walked out of the castle tower, they saw the Hojo clan walking quickly.

"Your Royal Highness Oda, the two masters ......" The Hojo clan saluted the three of them a little tiredly, and then asked impatiently, "I don't know the situation of the reinforcements......

Hearing this, Oda Nobutada shook his head, "Basically, there are no reinforcements left, unless we can defeat Lu Yi." ”

"How so?" When the Hojo clan heard this, a look of despair appeared on his face. He insisted on supporting Oda Nobutada, ignoring all the opposition of his family, because he believed in the appeal of the imperial court, Buddhism, and Oda Nobutada, but the reality was too far from what he imagined.

"Hehe, times have changed...... It's not what we thought......" said with a smile.

"Yes, times have changed,...... Oda Nobutada said lightly when he heard this, "When Lu Xin agreed to open Azuchi Academy and publish the Azuchi Monthly Bulletin, times have changed......

"Hehe, but even if we choose to submit now, Lu Yi won't let us go~" Bu Zhi chuckled.

"Not bad." Oda Nobutada nodded when he heard this, turned his head to look at the Hojo clan and asked, "Hojo-sama, how is the morale of the troops now?" ”

Hearing this, the Hojo clan Masa, who was in despair, suddenly burst out laughing, and that somewhat bleak smile made Oda Nobutada and the others frown at the same time, "Morale? Where is the morale? Everyone was lifeless, and many even thought about escaping the city every day. ”

"Lost...... Without foreign aid, what are we going to fight with Lu Yi?! Hojo Clan shouted with a hideous expression and questioned, but unfortunately the three people in front of him couldn't give him any answers at all.

"It seems that he has nothing to hope for." Oda Nobutada shook his head and sighed.

"The son of a lion is not necessarily a lion...... I don't know the same sigh, as an opponent who has been dealing with Hojo Shiyasu for half his life, he suddenly felt a little proud at this moment, at least, he still has such an excellent heir as Takeda Katsuyori.

"Let Qianzong Yi and them pay for it, otherwise, as Lord Hojo said, this battle will not have to be fought." I didn't know how to think about it and said.

"What if they don't take the money out? You know, they chose to support us, didn't they just do it for money? I don't know what to say, although the meaning in the words seemed to be worried about something, but the tone sounded rather gloating.

"If they don't come out with the money, then there is no need for them to exist." Oda Nobutada said lightly. He doesn't seem to have changed his tone these days.

At night, the residence of the Hojo clan.

"Chief, you've been following the family for many years......" Hojo asked in a low tone.

"Yes, please rest assured, the Narita clan has been blessed by the Hojo family for generations, and will definitely do their best!" The Narita clan chief said respectfully, obviously thinking that the Hojo clan had called him to come because he was worried about the war situation.

Just hearing this, the Hojo clan didn't answer, just looked at the little girl next to the Narita clan chief and smiled, "Speaking of which, Kai is already 5 years old, right?" How cute, she must be a beautiful woman who grows up......"

"The lord has a good reputation." The chief of the Narita clan responded when he heard this, and he couldn't figure out what the Hojo clan meant.

However, the Hojo clan did not let the Narita clan guess for too long, "The clan chief, please ask you for one thing." The Hojo clan suddenly bowed down in front of the Narita clan chief, "Please give Kai to Lu Yi!" In exchange for this, Uesugi Keihu changed back to the surname Hojo! ”
