Outside Kanekoyama Castle, there was silence in the Oda Army's main camp, and only Oda Shinna read aloud the two letters sent by Oda Yoshinobu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In one letter, it is a letter of appointment to Hosokawa Shinyuki, but it does not say anything except the appointment of Hosokawa Shinyuki as the Awa Daikan and subordinate to Oda Shinna. And the second letter is a confession of Oda Yoshinobu, in which Oda Yoshinobu mentioned that because of his greed for beauty, he finally gave Hosokawa Shinyuki Awa the position of acting official, and promised that there would never be a second time for this kind of thing.

"The lord is wise and martial, although he makes a small mistake, he can immediately correct it, and make such a degree of repentance, this is a blessing for the family! What a blessing I've been waiting for! After Oda Shinna finished reading the letter, Niko Katsuhisa and others praised it.

Hawkers,Although Shigeharu Takenaka had such a big fire before.,But in fact, in the whole troubled times,This kind of power by offering beautiful women abounds.,It's just that Hosokawa Shinyuki got a little bigger.。 So although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they also buried it in their hearts.

But then, Oda Yoshinobu's confession directly tore up all the dissatisfaction of everyone, leaving nothing behind. Instead, he was ashamed of his own lord and honored to be able to serve Oda Yoshinobu.

Exaggerated? Actually, no, the reason is very simple, the monarch can't be wrong!

This kind of thing actually exists in any country in the world, that is, the monarch is not wrong, and there is no doubt about it. Therefore, once the monarch of each country makes a mistake, those courtiers have to risk their lives if they want to advise, especially those who have a great reputation.

After all, questioning the monarch, regardless of the reason, is likely to raise more questions, which in turn will affect the majesty of the monarchy. As a result, many monarchs disliked courtiers questioning their orders, especially in this era.

Because many of the daimyo did not have a stable rule over the realm, they were even more disgusted with the questioning of their retainers. And many times, even if they are questioned, they will not admit their mistakes.

And now, Oda Yoshinobu not only admitted his mistake, but also issued a letter similar to a letter of repentance, although it was only to many retainers, not to announce it to the world like the Ming Dynasty's sinful edict, but in this era, it is already a very difficult thing.

"Hmph, Oda Yoshinobu is quite good at winning people's hearts." Hosokawa Zhenxin on the side snorted coldly, he was naturally very dissatisfied with Oda Yoshinobu's approach, because he had already felt that everyone's eyes were looking at him full of disdain.

At this moment, Oda Shinna's voice rang out, "Ladies and gentlemen, even the masters of the past dynasties have not been able to do such a thing, so I hope that you can work harder in the future and live up to the expectations of the lord!" ”

"Yes!"

Glancing at everyone, Oda Shinna nodded and said, "Very good, then let's have a military discussion!" ”

Subsequently, Oda Shinna began to arrange, and in fact, during this time, almost every 1 day, the Oda army would carry out a strong attack on Kanekoyama Castle. On the one hand, he wanted to see if there were any flaws in the Golden Mountain Castle, and on the other hand, he also wanted to put pressure on the Maori family. After all, even if Oda Shinna and Nagamune Ibu Motojin have been unable to capture Iyo Province, they can still contain part of the power of the Maori family, and at the same time, they can attract the attention of the Maori army and create opportunities for Saeki Yukai or Oda Yoshinobu.

The Maori army of Kanekoyama Castle was already familiar with this, and when the Oda army began to attack, it immediately began to defend in an orderly manner.

"Alas, it seems that this Oda army is trying to contain us here." Shishido Takaya shook his head and sighed as he looked at the Oda army outside the castle that was constantly attacking the city.

"There's no way, the Oda Army not only has a lot of troops, but also has a stronger combat effectiveness than the main family, so it's not easy to hold here." Yoshihiro Jinshin sighed.

When he was still in Kyushu, he always felt that the so-called powerful forces in the world were no different from the Otomo family except that their territory was larger. It's just that in these days of fighting with the Oda family, he deeply understood what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky.

"The two adults don't need to worry so much, the main battlefield of San'in Sanyo, there are Yoshikawa-sama and Kobayaka-sama, and the troops are far more than the Oda family. As long as that side gains the upper hand, the Oda family of Shikoku will be in a dilemma. Kaneko Motozhai walked over and said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's nature~" Shishido Takashi and the others laughed when they heard this.

At this moment, they suddenly saw a strange and somewhat familiar family crest appear on the battlefield. "That family crest should be ......," Yoshihiro Jinshin muttered as he looked at the battlefield somewhere in confusion.

"That's right, the family crest of the Hosokawa family, hehe, I can't imagine that a generation of famous families not only subdued the Oda family, but now they have also gone to the battlefield with other wealthy families, it's really unpredictable." Takaya Shishido looked at it and smiled, his tone quite sighing.

"But it seems that this person from the Hosokawa family doesn't seem to know how to fight~" After taking a closer look, Kaneko Motozhai suddenly sneered.

Well, Oda Shinna did not give Hosokawa Shinyuki the standing equipment he brought from Osaka, but the ordinary peasant soldiers recruited from Awa. This kind of force is naturally inconspicuous in other wars, but in a large number of standing reserves, it is quite abrupt. In addition, Hosokawa Shinyuki's military level is really scummy, which makes it difficult for these peasant soldiers to maintain their formation in battle.

However, in this regard, Shishido Takaya and the others just joked casually and stopped mentioning it, after all, they were defending the city at this time, even if Hosokawa Shinyuki's troops threw away their weapons and stood there, they didn't have any way. In fact, when they first saw this situation, they thought it was a flaw in the enemy's army, so they prepared to attack to see if they could defeat the Oda family. It was only after two failures that they completely dismissed the idea.

Yes, although these peasant soldiers looked full of flaws, there were many Oda clans around them, and once Shishido Takake and others attacked, Oda Shinna would immediately switch formations and use the advantage of standing combat power to surround the Maori army. It can be said that this is a bait thrown by Oda Shinna.

The war went on, and the two sides kept going back and forth, arrows and muskets were fired back and forth. Speaking of which, as the weather warms up, the threat that the Oda family gives to Kanekoyama Castle is also increasing, because the Oda family has too many muskets.

In this battle, it was not until sunset and dusk that Oda Shinna ordered the troops to be withdrawn, but when the number of people was counted, it was found that Hosokawa Shinyuki was actually dead.

"What's going on?!" Oda Shinna asked with a cold face.

"Yes...... It's ......" The peasant soldiers who followed Hosokawa Shinyuki to battle looked at Oda Shinna hesitantly, not knowing whether they were frightened or what was going on.

"Say! Or do you want to die?! Seeing this, Oda Shinna was furious, and immediately asked sharply.

"Hui-sama, Hosokawa-sama fell off his horse and ......," one of the peasant soldiers said quickly when he heard this, and the others added one after another.

Well, because of the chaos on the battlefield, these people didn't see it very clearly, and the only thing they saw was that Hosokawa Mayuki seemed to be a little flustered suddenly, and then accidentally fell off his horse, and then ...... Well, he was trampled to death by a horse.

In an instant, the military tent became silent, and everyone stood there in shock, all of them were stunned for a while. After all, this kind of thing can be as rare as walking on the road and being stoned to death by falling from the sky.

On the other side, Oda Shinna was also shocked, but he quickly reacted, glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Hosokawa-sama died on the battlefield, although it was due to an accident, but I also have an unshirkable responsibility. Without knowing the true ability of Hosokawa-sama, he took the liberty of sending him to the battlefield. So I decided to hand over the command to Yamanaka-sama for the time being, and I personally returned to Osaka to ask the lord for his guilt! ”

Hearing this, everyone was immediately stunned, "Oda-sama doesn't have to be like this!" Hosokawa-sama's death was obviously just an accident, and no one is to blame at all, so how can I ask for guilt?! And even if Oda-sama has some responsibility, in this case, the most he can do is report to the lord through a letter, and there is no need to return to Osaka to ask for guilt in person. Yamanaka Yumori was the first to jump out and say.

Subsequently, Niko Katsuhisa, Gamo clan and others also persuaded one after another, and in their opinion, Hosokawa Shinyuki died from a fallen horse, and no one was to blame at all.

It's just that Oda Shinna didn't seem to listen to them at all, and just said in a deep voice, "I have made up my mind, and in addition to asking for guilt, I will also report the situation here in detail to the lord so that the lord can make a more appropriate judgment." Don't forget the real purpose of our army's attack on Shikoku! ”

Hearing this, Yamanaka Yukimori and the others suddenly had an idea, "It turns out that Oda-sama thinks the battle situation here is too boring and wants to go to a new battlefield......"

Thinking like this, everyone stopped persuading, after all, strictly speaking, now on the battlefield of Kanekoyama Castle, Oda Shinna is there or not, in fact, it is almost the same. The Oda army could not capture Kanekoyama Castle, and the defenders in Kanekoyama Castle could not repel the Oda army.

Seeing that everyone didn't say much, Oda Shinna finally let go of her hanging heart, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to convince everyone, if that was the case, she didn't know what reason to find. "Then everyone, I'll leave it to you here!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Oda Nobuna handed over to Yamanaka Yukimori, and then left Kato Danzo to Yamanaka Yukimori, and he returned to Osaka with Akuni.

At this time, Osaka Castle welcomed two guests, a very unexpected guest for Oda Yoshinobu.

"The messenger of the Shimazu family? How did they get here? Oda Yoshinobu muttered strangely, but he didn't think about it, anyway, in his opinion, no matter what the purpose of their coming is, don't you know when you see it?
