Kanesaki Castle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Asai Nagamasa sat in the first place with a gloomy face, but the reason why this was so was not because the grim situation in Echizen was completely unexpected by him. Although he didn't expect that the sturdiness of Kanesaki Mijo would be able to be captured by the Oda army so quickly, in his heart, the Asakura family would not have been the opponent of the Oda family.

And the reason why he is like this is that just now, Naokyo Endo reported the matter discussed with them by Huiqiong of Ankokuji Temple to Asai Nagamasa. Well, as a family governor, but only now did he learn that many of his retainers were involved in such a huge conspiracy behind his back, if Asai Nagamasa can still smile in this situation, then how big is his heart?

"In other words, according to the plan, when the family sends troops, you will notify the Ashikaga shogun, and he will escape into Honganji through the ninjas arranged by the Mori family? What Ashikaga Shogun showed before was just pretending to get a chance? Asai Nagamasa looked at everyone with an embarrassed face and asked.

"Exactly!" Hai Chiyu and the three of them said in unison.

"Lord, my subordinates also know that I am very sorry for my lord, but for the sake of my family, this is completely a last resort!" Haibei Tsunade said in a deep voice.

"Then Isono Yuanchang went to stop the Oda Army, which is also the meaning of Maori Moto??" Asai Nagamasa asked again.

Shortly after the capture of Kanesaki Sanjo, Kaibei Tsunajin sent Isono Yuanmasa to stop the Oda army. At first, Asai Nagamasa was still very puzzled, after all, how could such a small number of troops stop the 50,000 troops of the Oda family? At that time, Haibei Tsunami's explanation was reasonable, if he didn't do this, how would the Asakura family know that the Asai family was coming? But now it seems that the purpose is more than that.

Hearing this, Haibei Tsunashi nodded and said, "Yes, according to His Royal Highness Maori's plan, once Oda Nobunaga learns that his family has sent troops, he will definitely be worried about the situation in, so he will definitely withdraw his troops immediately." However, with the strength of the Oda army, even if the main family and the Asakura family join forces, they may not be able to stop it. So in the plan, all the family needed to do was to delay the return of the Oda family to as much as possible. ”

After a pause, Haibei Tsunade said in an inexplicable tone, "But if Yuanchang sends a signal, it means that it is Oda Yoshinobu who is in charge of the palace, and in this way, the goal of the family will become to unite with the Asakura army and leave Oda Yoshinobu in Echizen together!" The importance of Oda Yoshinobu to the Oda family, the lord also knows, once Oda Yoshinobu dies in battle, then the Oda family will not have to worry! ”

"Huh...... The No. 1 Wise General in the West!! What a last resort! Asai Nagamasa sneered when he heard this, and his tone was full of sarcasm. How could he not hear that in the eyes of Mori Motosa, the Asai family and the Asakura family were just one of his pawns, and this feeling made him very dissatisfied.

Hearing this, how could Haibei Tsunabe and the others not know Asai Nagamasa's thoughts? "My lord, my subordinates also know that it feels bad to be taken advantage of, but if you want to defeat the Oda family, His Royal Highness Maori's method is undoubtedly the best choice." Haibei Gang Qin persuaded in a deep voice.

When they first heard Ankokuji Huiqiong's relay, they also had the same idea as Asai Nagamasa, who in this world wants to be a pawn in the hands of others? But as Haibei Tsunako said, if they don't want to be pawns, how can they defeat the Oda family?

At this moment, Naokyo Endo hurriedly walked in, "My lord, Lord Isono has sent a signal!" The queen of His Royal Highness is none other than Yoshinobu Oda! Endo said excitedly.

It's just that Asai Nagamasa's tone is very flat, "Really? He replied lightly, and there was no more follow-up.

Seeing this, Haibei Gangqin hurriedly persuaded again, "My lord! Please focus on the big picture! And now that the family has embarked on this path, there is no chance of turning back! ”

Hearing this, Asai Nagamasa still didn't speak, but just waved his hand, signaling that everyone could leave. In this regard, Naokei Endo wanted to say something, but was stopped by the three of Haibei Tsunami. "Let's go, let the lord be quiet."

While Oda Nobunaga led his army to retreat rapidly, many of the heroes were constantly attacking the territory of the Oda family.

April 22nd.

The Miyoshi family, who had been plotting a counterattack since being driven out of, was undoubtedly the fastest, and the day after receiving the news, the Miyoshi family sent troops from Awa, and nearly 20,000 troops arrived in Izumi Province through the Awaji Navy as quickly as possible, and launched an attack on Kishiwada Castle with almost no repairs.

At the same time, the Miyoshi trio sent more than a dozen envoys to various parts of in an attempt to win over the wealthy clans who had submitted to them in the past. I have to say that the Miyoshi family has been preparing for this day for too long.

In Kii Province, although the two sons ran away because they did not support him to stand on the side of Honganji, Satsuo Suzuki still mobilized all the forces of the Saga people in the name of Saga Sun City, and united with Nerai and other forces to continue to sweep away the Oda family's stronghold, which was already small in Kii Province. Later, he directly sent troops to Izumi, preparing to support the Miyoshi family.

However, although their speed is very fast, the fastest to fall is Settsu Province. As Akechi Mitsuhide said, the Settsu Province is the territory of the Honganji Temple's base camp, and it is impossible for them alone to hold it. Almost on the same day that Honganji declared the Oda family an enemy of the Buddha, many castles in Settsu Province were attacked by a large army. Subsequently, Araki Murashige, a powerful minister of the Ikeda family, rebelled directly and sent troops to capture the territory belonging to the Ikeda family.

On Ise Nagashima, with the courage of Keiji Maeda and others, the naval support of the Ozuru Navy, and the continuous arrival of reinforcements from Ise and Owari, the Oda Army finally drove the Ichijo sect believers who had invaded Ise and Owari back to Nagashima Castle.

It's just that in the face of this fortified city surrounded by water, whether it is Li Huamei or Takenaka Shigeji, they can't find a good way to capture it.

Changfu City.

"My lord, are you so confident that those forces will do what you think?" Ankokuji Huiqiong asked curiously, since he came back, Mao Liyuan has never inquired about's information, and he doesn't seem to be worried about whether his strategy can be implemented smoothly.

"Hui Qiong, no force is willing to act as a pawn in the hands of others." Mao Liyuan said lightly, "But if they want to become chess players, then they can only implement it according to my plan!" ”

"In this way, won't the lord worry that after they become bigger, they will become the second Oda family?" Anguosi Huiqiong asked curiously.

"Haha~ If that's the case, the tiger should be the one who has a headache~" Mao Liyuan laughed when he heard this.
