Kannonji Castle, facing the army of the Oda family, the strongest castle in the near river, was open at this time, and the retainers of the Rokkaku family, led by Gamo Dinghide, stood at the gate and waited.

"I really can't imagine that such a fortified castle can be taken without a fight......" Oda Nobunaga looked at Kannonji Castle and said lightly.

On the side, Asai Nagamasa also sighed, once upon a time, the Roxagonal family was still the nightmare existence of the Asai family. And now, in front of the mighty Oda family, they don't even have the courage to fight.

"No matter what happens, the Oda family must not be the enemy of the Oda family!" Asai Nagamasa looked at Kannon Temple Castle and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, everyone in the Asai family lowered their heads one after another. There was a hint of shame, and a hint of fear. Speaking of which, when the Oda family wanted to marry the Asai family, although everyone did not object, but in their hearts, the Oda family belonged to Gao Pan, although the strength of the two families at that time was probably a little stronger than the Oda family.

But for the people of the Asai family, the Asai family is a famous family. Well, it is said that their ancestor was Sanjo Kotsuna, the eldest son of the Kyoto nobleman Sanjo Minorusa. Of course, this is said to be according to the people of the Asai family.

However, there is another reason for this, because they are located in Omi. Where is Omi? ! Therefore, it is natural that when they look at the local wealthy families, they will inevitably be superior to others, although the people in and Kyoto are also so virtuous.

And now...... The Oda family is obviously already an unattainable existence.

The army slowly drove to the gate of the Oda family, even if it had already surrendered, seeing the endless army in front of them, Gamo Dingxiu and the others still had palpitations.

Maybe it's to alleviate this emotion, or maybe it's to increase his impression in Oda Nobunaga's mind. After Gamo Dingxiu waited for the Oda army to stop again, he immediately rushed to meet him. Well, these Hexagonal retainers are quite on the same mind. But speaking of which, they should be called the former retainers of the Hexagon family.

"Oda-sama, here is the patriarch of the Omi wealthy family, Gamo Dingxiu." Gamo Dingxiu said respectfully, "The father and son of Rokkaku do not know the righteousness, and for their own selfishness against Oda-sama's Shangluo army, although we have tried to persuade him, but his father and son are bent on going their own way......"

"Okay, where are they now?" Oda Nobunaga interrupted Gamo Dingxiu's tirade.

Hearing this, Gamo Dingxiu immediately said, "The two father and son of Rokkaku asked Lord Oda to lead the army, and they were already frightened, and they escaped from the secret passage at night a few days ago, and they already don't know where to go. ”

"Missing?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Gamo Dingxiu, although his expression did not change at all, but it made Gamo Dingxiu feel flustered.

"Yes, the hexagonal father and son escaped from the secret passage, and destroyed the secret passage before leaving, and I don't know where the secret passage leads. However, according to the speculation below, it is likely that they fled to Koga County, where they were helped by a group of Koga ninjas. Gamo Dingxiu hurriedly explained.

"Koga ninja people......" Oda Nobunaga muttered, he is no stranger to this term, although the ninjas have always been mysterious, but the Koga ninjas are as famous as the Iga ninjas, and are known as the two strongest ninjas in the world. Of course, ninjas have always been secretive, so no one knows if they are the strongest in the world.

The two ninjas who walked in the dark were so famous, not because they had done anything really shocking or because they were so powerful that many forces had to pay attention to them, but because they were completely different from the others.

The average ninja is basically a slave who belongs to a certain force or a certain family. Until the power is destroyed or the ninjas are destroyed, they will not change their court. For example, Erji, who followed Saito Michizo in the past, trained a ninja army for Saito Michizo. Although they don't have a name, they do have the ability to be called ninjas. And after the death of Saito Michizo, Erji and his ninjas were all killed.

Interpreting the existence of ninjas with their lives is what ordinary ninjas look like. But Iga and Koga, two ninjas, are completely different. Because strictly speaking, they are not simple ninjas, but live in this troubled world as a group of people or local tycoons. The only difference is that these wealthy families know ninjutsu.

Therefore, like the wealthy families in other places, they are constantly changing the main family. Koga ninja successively served in Hosokawa, Miyoshi, and Rokkaku. The Iga ninjas, on the other hand, are more like mercenaries, and whoever gives the money is the boss. However, the Hattori family, who used to be the leader of the Iga ninjas, went to the shogun's house, and now, it is in the Matsudaira family in Mikawa.

"If you have the help of the Koga ninja, it's a bit of a problem......" Oda Nobunaga muttered to himself. Although these ninjas also have territories, they still fight in the same way as ninjas. They are better at assassination and sneak attacks than head-to-head. Koga Prefecture and Iga Province are both mountainous and forested places, which are completely unsuitable for a large army to attack.

Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga said to Gamo Dingxiu, "In that case, then let's ignore the Rokkaku father and son for now." In the future, you can continue to work hard as a retainer of your own family, well, remember to send the hostages over. After saying this, Oda Nobunaga led his army into the city. When it came to Oda Nobunaga's words, Gamo Dingxiu and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the castle, Oda Nobunaga immediately sent someone back to Mino and informed Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Rakuro as soon as possible. Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not come with the army, after all, in Oda Nobunaga's expectations, although the Rokkaku family declined, no matter how you thought about it, it was impossible to imagine that the Rokkaku father and son would run away directly, causing all the Rokkaku retainers to surrender.

Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the prepared Kamiraku team did not stay with the army. Although Oda Nobunaga didn't think that any force could stop him from going to Luo, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's identity was too important after all, and if something went wrong, Oda Nobunaga had no chance to regret it.

Meanwhile, Echigo Kasuga Mountain Castle.

"Hehe, 80,000 troops, the strength of the Oda family is so strong?" Uesugi Kenshin looked at the information in his hand and said in a strange voice.

"My lord, it is said that the Oda family carried out a government decree called reserve military service, using the status of a samurai as a bait to make the young adults of the territory forcibly become the Oda family's ashigaru." Naoe Jinggang said when he heard this.

"Oh? Reserve military service? Uesugi Kenshin muttered, "It's kind of interesting." ”

Hearing Uesugi Kenshin's muttering, Naoe Keixuna hurriedly said, "My lord, the situation in this family is very different from that of the Oda family, and if you change the decree easily, it is likely to lead to rebellion again." And give those civilians the status of samurai at will...... This kind of thing is so messy! ”

"Hehe, if this kind of chaos can make the family also have tens of thousands of more troops, then how can they be given the status of samurai?" Uesugi Kenshin said with a sneer. However, after saying that, Uesugi Kenshin shook his head again and said, "But this kind of policy is indeed as you said, and it is difficult to implement it at home. The success of the Oda family is due to the fact that Oda Nobunaga single-handedly changed the Oda family from a small wealthy family in the four prefectures of Owari to a powerful force today, and Oda Yoshinobu, the god of war of the Oda family, is also Oda Nobunaga's brother-in-law. The two of them joined forces, and they didn't have to worry about the opposition of those wealthy clans under their command at all. ”

"Lord...... In fact, Honjo-sama, they ......" Naoe Keixuna heard this, and wanted to comfort Uesugi Kenshin, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the rebellion of the Daihoji family and the Honjo family had been put down, and although Uesugi Kenshin had the intention of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, due to the power of the two families, he could only accept their submission.

"Those who want to rebel can always find a reason to rebel......" Uesugi Kenshin said softly, and then changed the topic without waiting for Naoe Keixuna to speak, "Now that the Oda family has sent troops to Kamiraku, then it is time for the Oda family to send troops." ”

"Yes!"

Sagami, Odawara Castle.

"The child is incompetent...... "Hojo Masa said ashamedly in front of Hojo Shiyasu.

Because of Takeda Shingen's strategy, the Satoma family once again invaded Kamisokuni, and the Hojo clan, who was ordered to lead the army to meet the enemy, suffered a crushing defeat to the Satoma family at Mifuneyama Mountain. Not only did he almost lose his life, but he also broke the Ota family's capital of the Ota family. Since the world-famous Ota Michikan, the Ota family's influence in the Kanto region has continued to this day. It can be said that with the support of the Ota family and without the support of the Ota family, the rule of the Hojo family in the Kanto region is completely different.

Therefore, although the Hojo family lost more than 2,000 horses in the battle of Mifuneyama, the Ota clan who died in the battle was actually the biggest loss of the Hojo family.

"Forget it, the family can still afford this loss." Hojo didn't seem to be angry at all, but said calmly. But the more this is the case, the more frightened the Hojo clan becomes, because when Hojo clan Yasu is angry to the extreme, it is so calm.

"In addition, let the clan go to Iwafu City to inherit the Ota family, even if the Ota family perishes, it can't perish under our command." Hojo Shiyasu still said flatly.

"Yes!" When the Hojo clan heard this, he immediately responded, although he was reluctant to give up his beloved son, but now he didn't dare to say anything to refute it.

"Finally......" Hojo Shiyasu looked at the Hojo clan who was still prostrating in front of him, and finally sighed helplessly, "You take 5,000 men and horses to attack Musashi, don't let me down again." ”

"Yes!"

After the Hojo clan left, the Hojo clan slowly stood up, but as soon as he stood up, he suddenly stumbled. Regaining his footing, Hojo slowly walked to the front of the observation deck, looked at Odawara Castle below, and suddenly sighed.

"Echigo's dragon never married and had children, and although Kai's tiger had a good eldest son, he committed suicide. And I, the lion who looks like me, gave birth to a cat......"

"Oda Nobuhide, although I have never met you, I really envy you, I can have a son who is so much better than you......" Hojo Shiyasu looked at the sky and sighed. At this moment, he is no longer a lion who dominates the Kanto region, but just an old father who laments the indisputability of future generations.

The Uesugi family sent troops to Shinano, and the Hojo family sent troops to Musashi, and the two news soon reached the hands of Suruga Takeda Shingen.

"Hehe, Uesugi family! Hojo family! You're really good at choosing the time! Takeda Shingen looked at the front of him, which had been besieged for many days, but was still impregnable, and muttered helplessly.

He wasn't so angry that he lost his mind, in fact it had been expected by him. Because if it were him, he would also choose to send troops when the Oda family went to Luo. Because once the Oda family goes to Luo, once the Takeda family is in trouble, it is impossible to quickly capture Enoe with the troops of the Matsudaira family alone, and come to Suruga to support.

Moreover, if the Oda family did not go to Kamiraku, they could even directly support Shinano from Mino, and although the road was not easy to follow, it was still possible to pass through the troops without an enemy.

Coming back to his senses, Shingen Takeda glanced at everyone and found that they were all looking at him. Obviously, they don't know what to do about the current situation. And what about Shingen Takeda himself? It is also full of hesitation. Fall back? I am really unwilling! Although he didn't lose many troops, he prepared for so long, and he also lost his reputation, eldest son, and important ministers, but he just came to Suruga for a walk and went back? How does this make Takeda Shingen willing?

Can you keep playing? Takeda Shingen really couldn't do anything about Yokoyama Castle in front of him. Although he knew very well that as long as he continued to besiege like this, he would definitely be able to capture Hengshan City. But how long is that, exactly? Half a month? One month? Takeda Shingen really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Fighting in the field, he Takeda Shingen has never been afraid of anyone, but he can attack the city......

"Report!" A loud shout broke the silence in the tent, and a herald ran in quickly, "Your Highness, a letter from the Matsudaira family!" ”

"Matsudaira family?!" Hearing this, Takeda Shingen stood up immediately, and took the letter with his hand, but he didn't open it for a long time. For some reason, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"What about the people of the Matsudaira family?!" Takeda Shingen asked sharply.

"It's the ninja of the Matsudaira family, who left after delivering the letter to the villain." The herald shouted.

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen had a bad premonition in his heart that became stronger and stronger, and he opened the letter roughly, but without looking at it twice, Takeda Shingen angrily tore the letter apart.

"Withdraw...... Military ......" Takeda Shingen gritted his teeth and popped out these two words from between his mouth, and after speaking, he walked out of the military tent without looking back.
