When Oda Yoshinobu arrived in Kyoto with his army, he immediately ordered the troops to be disbanded, and he rushed to Mino with Mori Kotaka and Mori's corpses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoTwo days later, they arrived in Gifu Castle.

At night, Oda Nobunaga was changing his clothes and was about to rest, when suddenly a ninja appeared outside the house, "Your Highness, Yoshinobu-sama is back!" ”

"What?!" Oda Nobunaga was shocked when he heard this, but without waiting for the ninja to answer, he rushed out in his pajamas, and even forgot to put on his shoes.

Not long after, he met Oda Yoshinobu and his party on the road, "Haha! I knew you kid wasn't that easy to die! Oda Nobunaga smiled, rushed to Oda Yoshinobu in three or two steps and hugged him.

Although he was full of confidence in Oda Yoshinobu's martial arts, it was clear that the Asakura army of 30,000 men with a mere 10,000 troops would be intercepted, and he would also have to face the interception of the Asai army. Even if Oda Nobunaga's confidence in Oda Yoshinobu was bursting, it was inevitable that there would be some speculation and uneasiness in his heart. But now, those uneasiness has been swept away, and all that remains is the joy of reunion.

It's just that what makes Oda Nobunaga strange is that Oda Yoshinobu, who was hugged by him, reacted very blandly, and there was no enthusiasm or arrogance that he imagined.

"Why are you kid...... "Oda Nobunaga let go of Oda Yoshinobu and just opened his mouth to ask, when he saw Mori Kotaka standing behind Oda Yoshinobu, and beside him, four more flags were carrying a stretcher. On top of the stretcher lay a man, but his face was obscured by the Oda family's family crest.

"That's ......" For a moment, Oda Nobunaga had an extremely bad thought in his heart.

"Mori-sama died in battle...... "Yoshinobu Oda said in a low voice.

"What?! Can it be him?! Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu in shock, obviously unable to accept this fact.

"Well, it's all my fault, if I hadn't rushed so fast......" Oda Yoshinobu sighed, but was interrupted by Mori Kolo as soon as he spoke.

"Yoshinobu-sama, how can I blame you for this? My father was killed by the iron cannon of the Asai army, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame the bastards of the Asai family! Mori Kotaka said indignantly, and then said what happened when Mori Kecheng died in battle, and in the end, Mori Kolong bowed down in front of Oda Nobunaga and begged, "Your Highness, if the main family wants to attack the Asai family, I hope to be the vanguard!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga immediately nodded and agreed, "In addition, from today on, you will inherit the position of the governor of the Mori family, as my retainer, along with your father's will, continue to serve the family!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Hearing this, Sen Kolon said loudly.

"In addition, Kecheng's funeral will be held according to the highest treatment, and I will pay for all expenses! He has worked for his family for so many years, and he can't imagine that he would ...... at such a time," Oda Nobunaga said at the end, his tone becoming choked.

Since Nohime got married, Mori Kecheng became a retainer of Oda Nobunaga as a dowry samurai. At that time, Oda Nobunaga was not the governor of the Oda family, and there were only Oda Yoshinobu, Maeda Toshiya and others under his command. It can be said that along the way, although Mori Kecheng is not Oda Nobunaga's brother, Mori Kecheng is completely worthy of the four words of the minister.

But now...... Although it is said that the general will inevitably die before the battle, it is too ...... for Sen Kecheng to die in such a way Even if Sen Kecheng was killed by a certain general of Asai or Asakura, it was more acceptable than now.

After thanking Oda Nobunaga, Mori Kolong left with Mori's body, knowing that Oda Nobunaga still had a lot to say to Oda Yoshinobu. And Oda Nobunaga looked at the appearance of Mori Kolong leaving with Mori Kosei's body, and suddenly said viciously, "Asai Nagamasa...... Yoshikei Asakura...... If I don't kill these two people, I, Oda Nobunaga, will not give up! ”

"Naturally, I can't give up, especially Nagamasa Asai! How dare you betray your family! If you don't give a punishment that makes the whole world fearful, there will definitely be a second or third Asai family in the future! Oda Yoshinobu echoed in a deep voice.

Although strictly speaking, Sen Kecheng's death really doesn't have much to do with him, after all, if he was killed by an iron cannon on the battlefield, the probability is really not too low. But obviously, Oda Yoshinobu is not so big-bellied, you must know that he has been the worst since the first battle, and this time can be said to be the worst.

After scolding for a while, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu and sighed, "Alas, I originally wanted to hold a grand banquet for you......"

"Forget it, with that effort, it's better to hurry up and study the surrounding situation." Oda Yoshinobu said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, let's go," Oda Nobunaga nodded, then turned around and walked into a room. Following along, Oda Yoshinobu saw at a glance the huge sand table placed on the ground. This is a room dedicated to observing the situation, and inside the huge sand table is a topographical map of the whole of Japan.

"If you look at it, according to the available information, the enemies that can be determined are Akai and Hatano in Tanba, Honganji and Araki in Settsu, and some small wealthy clans, the Miyoshi family captured Izumi Province, and Kii was occupied by mercenaries such as the Suzuki clan belonging to Honganji. Needless to say, Omi's Asai and Echizen's Asakura, Wakasa also fell back to the Asakura family because of the retreat of the main family. In addition, Nagashima Ichikozong also had a slap. Speaking of this, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu and pouted, looking like he wanted to laugh, but perhaps because of Mori Kesei's death, in the end he just knocked on the corner of his mouth and turned into a serious look again.

"Don't worry about Long Island, according to their report, those retainers under your command have already led their troops to trap them in the Long Island Islands, and victory is only a matter of time." Oda Nobunaga said, pointing to the other place with a folding fan and saying again, "The strongest force of the enemy army is Honganji, and the followers of the Ichijo sect in Settsu are no less than those in Nagashima, so I plan to let Honganji go first and give priority to attacking other enemies." ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu nodded, "I think so too, we can send generals to guard the three kingdoms of Yamashiro, Hanoi, and Yamato, and at the same time lead the army to quickly eliminate the two families of Asai and Asakura." As for those mercenaries in Kii, I don't think it's better to spend money to win them over, just attack them in one go and completely eliminate these bastards! ”

"Well, that's okay, but in my opinion, these are just minor issues, and neither Honganji nor Asai and Asakura, or Ashikaga Yoshiaki, can no longer pose a threat to the family. The only thing that worries me is here. As he spoke, Oda Nobunaga pointed in the direction of Suruga.
