The cheers resounded throughout Muraki Castle, representing the victory of the first battle under the command of Yamada Masamura alone, but looking at the man still standing in front of him, Yamada Masamura did not feel happy at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Oni, I can't imagine that I, who have never regarded you as a retainer, would let you teach me what a samurai lesson. Alas...... I'm sorry! Thank you! ”

"Lord......" Keiji Maeda came out at this time, with an apologetic look, "I was ...... just now"

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yamada Masamura, "Keiji, you're right, samurai!" It should look like a samurai! I've always underestimated the samurai status...... Thank you very much. Yamada Masamuratou didn't reply. After a pause, he pointed to the corpse of the ghost head and said, "Bring the body of the ghost head back to Narumi for burial." With that, he walked straight away.

"Lord......" Keiji Maeda looked at the back of Yamada Masamura in the distance, and was stunned for a while.

"What are you doing?" The voice of Shiraki Yukihisa was heard from the side.

"Okay, the death of the ghost head seems to have hit the lord very hard......" Keiji Maeda said the doubts in his heart.

"Perhaps...... The war that the lord participated in before was too smooth, right? Yukihisa Shiraki gave his own explanation.

Even if they want to break their heads, how can they think that Yamada Masamura is not a person of this era at all? Coupled with the thoughts of adults, it is difficult for him to understand what it means to be a samurai from education.

The war was over, and after sweeping the Muraki Castle and not finding the Imagawa general, Yamada Masamura burned down the Muraki Castle and led the army back to Narumi Castle. After returning to Narumi Castle, Yamada Masamura personally buried the ghost's head, and then set off for Kiyoshu Castle.

And faster than him, it was the Mizuno Army, which had withdrawn before the end of the war, and similarly, Mizuno Nobumoto quickly prepared gifts after returning to Kariya Castle, and then went to Cheongju Castle.

Well, Yamada Masamura went to Cheongju Castle, apparently to report on the results of the battle and explain the situation of the Mizuno family. And what about Nobugen Mizuno? He can't help it, who let him pit Yamada Masamura ruthlessly? Naturally, he had to sue first, so he didn't believe that as he was the governor of a local wealthy family, he was not as good as a little warrior with no background.

Because of the delay in the matter of the ghost head, Mizuno Nobumoto arrived in Cheongju first, and as soon as they met, Mizuno Nobumoto lay on the ground and began to complain about his suffering, saying that it was a sad listener to tears, as if Yamada Masamura had OOXX him a hundred times.

This is not the end, he also deliberately found Lin Xiuzhen first and restructured the matter on the premise of favoring him. He did investigate the faction of the Oda family in advance, Lin Xiuzhen is the elder of the pen family, but he and Oda Nobunaga are not very compatible, and he must be even more blind to his subordinate minister Yamada Masamura.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that whether it is Yamada Masamura or Lin Xiuzhen, they are all members of the Oda family after all. No matter how much Yamada Masamura calculates you, it's for the sake of the Oda family. Therefore, Lin Xiuzhen and Oda Nobunaga pretended to be stupid at the same time, but there was one meaning in and out of the words, that is, if the Mizuno family did not surrender completely......

Oda Nobunaga's residence.

"Overlord Maru, what you did this time is not so smart, there are too many tricks left for Mizuno Nobumoto's bastard, if it weren't for the strength you showed on the battlefield, even if I wanted to protect you, I might not be able to keep it." Oda Nobunaga kept banging on the floor with a fan. His tone was a bit heavy, but there was no way, if Yamada Masamura hadn't captured Muraki Castle by himself this time, then his career would probably have suffered a huge blow.

Don't look at it now, whether it is Sakuma Moriya or Shibata Katsuie, they have expressed friendship to Yamada Masamura, but that is because Yamada Masamura has shown the potential of a famous general. Otherwise, with his identity without any background, he would have been excluded by people in various ways a long time ago, how could he be promoted like a rocket?

"Well......" Yamada Masamura shrugged his head, looking like "I know I was wrong", and almost put a note of "regret" on the door of his head.

Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga didn't say much, because he could see that Yamada Masamura was stimulated enough this time. "Go find Ah Shi, she misses you a lot. As for the Mizuno family's affairs, you don't have to worry about it anymore. However, if the other party is really willing to become a retainer of the family, then your credit will definitely be remembered. Oda Nobunaga said, waving his hand to see off the guest.

"Alas, I really did something wrong this time......" Yamada Masamura left the room, looking at the sky outside, thinking with regret in his heart.

Now that I think about it, even if it weren't for him, the fate of the Mizuno family would eventually go to the Oda family, and then after the rise of the Tokugawa family, it was deliberately transferred to the Tokugawa family under the intention of Oda Nobunaga.

And now that he's here, I don't see the benefits. Loss? That's a big deal. Let's not talk about the death of the ghost head, the 150 people who were brought out, only 32 people returned to Narumi City, this is still the result of relying on the other party's carelessness, after the side quickly broke through the city gate, at the same time, the Imagawa army has no intention of fighting to the death with this side, otherwise......

"Brother Overlord Masaru~" A crisp voice called the distracted Yamada Masamura back, and when he looked up, he only saw Ah Shi looking at him worriedly.

"Ashi ......" Yamada Masamura stepped forward and hugged Ashi in his arms. He didn't speak, at this time, he just wanted to use the lovely softness in his arms to soothe his wounded heart. Belch...... Okay, isn't this kid a little vulnerable?

The cold winter is gone, the spring is warm, and after nearly 1 month of fighting, the Mizuno family finally surrendered completely under the pressure of the Oda family. For this reason, Oda Nobunaga praised Yamada Masamura in the evaluation, and even said that if it were not for Yamada Masamura, the Mizuno family would not have succumbed to the family so easily. And he was rewarded with 100 stones.

Well, if you look at it that way, it seems that Yamada Masamura is still doing it right? But obviously, Oda Nobunaga couldn't really use this to seal Yamada Masamura. Because although he didn't say the specific situation, whether it was Pingshou Zhengxiu or Lin Xiuzhen and other bigwigs, the details were clear.

Therefore, Yamada Masamura was removed from the post of Narumi Castle, which was also a small request for the submission of the Mizuno family, of course, I understand that Kamizuno Nobumoto did not say anything.

Back in Cheongju, without the burden of Narumi, the days have returned to a dull rhythm. Train the martial arts of Keiji Maeda and Yukihisa Shiraki, tease Aichi, and brag with Oda Nobunaga. It seems that everything is back to the way it was.

But obviously, time does not go backwards, and it is difficult for people to be naïve again after they grow up. Yamada Masamura finally began to face up to the profession of samurai, and sought various knowledge from the semi-reclusive Masahide Hirate. In this regard, Hirate Masahide was naturally very happy, because he always thought that Yamada Masamura would be Oda Nobunaga's right-hand man in the future. It's just that in the past, Yamada Masamura was only obsessed with martial arts, and he had no interest in knowledge, but now he took the initiative to send it to the door, how can he not be happy?

The camera pans to the other side, the Suruga Imagawa family.

"Motoshin actually failed......" Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the results sent by Okabe Motoshin in his hand, with an incredible look. You must know that Okabe Motonobu is the leader of the younger generation in the family, and the two of them are known as twin stars. And now, with the advantage of troops and terrain, and the Mizuno family is still playing soy sauce, he was defeated head-on by Yamada Masamura with only more than 100 people?

"It seems that this person is more tricky than we thought~" Taiyuan Xuezhai said with a chuckle.

"Well, indeed." Imagawa Yoshimoto responded casually, and then ordered someone to write a letter back to Okabe Motoshi, ordering him to guard Mikawa and ignore the matter.

Well? They don't seem to care about it at all? Well, while that's true, it's impossible not to care at all, but nowadays, there's more important things to do.

"Teacher, the Hojo family still hasn't replied."

"Don't worry, the Takeda family has agreed, the Honke family has already made so many concessions, and the most important thing is that after last month's war, I believe that the Hojo clan Yasu will not know that he will not be able to invade Suruga if the Honjo family and the Takeda family join forces. He is a smart man, but also a hero, and he has his own trade-offs in his heart. ”

At the mention of the Hojo family, Taiyuan Xuezhai's face also became solemn. Unlike the Oda family, which has just shown signs of rising, the Hojo family at this time can compete with the Imagawa family, no! It should be said that it is a stronger existence than the Imagawa family in terms of strength. In addition, the governor of the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu, has shown his martial arts to the world, and for this kind of person, even if it is Taiyuan Xuezhai, he has to be cautious.

But all this has nothing to do with Yamada Masamura, and at this time, he is planning a big thing. Well, it's easy to say, he wants to get out and travel. Well, as the saying goes, it's that the world is so big, he wants to see it.

In fact, this idea did not come out of this kid when he was suddenly hit in the head, but it was decided after a detailed discussion by Masahide Peacehand.

"That's it, after discussing with the old man, I think there are some things that can only be learned by going out." Yamada Masamura said in a low voice.

"Hmm......" Oda Nobunaga frowned, contemplating the feasibility of this matter. He wasn't worried about the safety of Yamada Masamura, but at this time, Yamada Masamura was already an important retainer under him, and if something happened on the way, this kid was not around, it would be a very troublesome thing.

"Don't worry, Yoshi-sama, I'm only going to go to to see ......"

"Okay, then you kid go and go back quickly, don't be blinded by the prosperity of and can't find your way back." Oda Nobunaga said unhappily. Well, this kid still doesn't want Yamada Masamura to leave, is there such a feeling?

It's Nohime on the side.,It's quite in favor of Yamada Masamura's idea.。 "Overlord Maru, in that case, you can help me bring a letter to my father by the way." It seemed that it was too explicit to say this, and Nonghime hurriedly made up for it, "Well, by the way, I'll let my father teach you, and my father can teach you a lot of things!" ”
