After receiving Oda Nobunaga's assurance, Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't wait to leave Echizen. Although he didn't want Ashikaga Yoshiaki to leave, in the face of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's insistence, Asakura Yoshiaki was not easy to oppose.

After all, he intends to support others to become generals, and he himself is at a loss. So after hesitating for a while, although some retainers objected, he finally decided to let Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the others leave.

Incidentally, when Ashikaga Yoshiaki proposed to take Akechi Mitsuhide as a shogunate, Asakura Yoshikei was quite reluctant. This really moved Akechi Mitsuhide, although the reason why Asakura Yoshikage was reluctant was only because of Akechi Mitsuhide's cultural talent.

Leaving Ichijo Valley Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide went to Gifu Castle to inform Oda Nobunaga about this, and Oda Nobunaga immediately sent Niwa Nagahide to lead 500 elite soldiers to accompany Akechi Mitsuhide to the Mino border to wait for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his party.

At the same time, Gifu Castle.

"What? Ashikaga Yoshiaki is coming? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga in shock with a look of disbelief.

Speaking of which, he has been building territory in Ise for the past two months, and he has almost never heard anything outside the window. And this time he was recruited by Oda Nobunaga, and he thought it was about the matter over there, but where did he think that it was Ashikaga Yoshiaki who was finally coming.

"Yes, the bastard finally bowed his head." Oda Nobunaga sneered, "Don't think about it carefully, in addition to the main family in the entire area, is there a force that can help him to go to Luo?" ”

Well, it seems that although Oda Nobunaga agreed to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, there are still a lot of resentments. But if you think about it carefully, it's normal to have resentment, after all, Oda Nobunaga single-handedly developed the Oda family to such a field today, but was despised by Ashikaga Yoshiaki in various ways. If Oda Nobunaga can still not care, then it is not Oda Nobunaga.

"Hehe, it seems that it's because the Asakura side can't help him Shangluo." Oda Yoshinobu also sneered. But then he looked at Oda Nobunaga with a puzzled look and asked, "By the way, brother, you didn't call me here because of this incident, right?" Okay, I don't want to meet that fool. ”

Oda Yoshinobu didn't like Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he didn't like it very much in his previous life. Because Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the game is all kinds of underplayed, and in reality, although Oda Yoshinobu has not seen him yet, just the news he got is enough to make Oda Yoshinobu have a considerable disgust for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

After all, no one likes a person who is high up and always looks down on others, especially if that person does not have any qualifications to look down on others.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly shook his head helplessly and said, "I knew that your kid would say that." But don't worry, you're not called here to meet the fool. It's for you to come up with an idea and show off your family's military might. ”

"Huh? Show off your military might? Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu looked at him strangely and said, "It means to give that kid a dismount?" ”

"Ahem, don't say it so bluntly." Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga coughed a little embarrassed twice, and then glanced at Oda Yoshinobu and said, "I just want His Royal Highness the General to know that choosing this family is a very correct choice." ”

"Cut, it's obviously a careful ......," Oda Yoshinobu muttered quietly when he heard this, but immediately changed his tone after seeing Oda Nobunaga's threatening eyes, "Indeed, since His Royal Highness the General has given up the famous Asakura family and chosen his own family, he needs to let him see the military might of his family." Not only can the general understand how correct his choice is, but also let everyone understand the determination and capital of the family for Shangluo. ”

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's right." Then, he looked at Oda Yoshinobu with disdain and said, "You were wrong about one thing just now, even if you want to meet Ashikaga Yoshiaki's stupid man, it is impossible. After all, in this family, there are more people who are stronger than you in this regard, not to mention Changxiu and Xiuzhen, even the monkey guy is much stronger than you. ”

After speaking, he looked at Oda Yoshinobu's indignant expression and smiled, "But when it comes to ghost ideas, there is really no one in this family who can compare to you." ”

"What the hell is an idea? And I'm learning etiquette with you! If I can't do it, brother, aren't you even more bad?! Oda Yoshinobu retorted angrily, but he still honestly thought of a way. After all, if you can respond to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it will be pretty good.

While swallowing clouds and spitting fog, he kept thinking about all kinds of whole people in his previous life...... Oh, it's an idea to show off military might. Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga was not in a hurry, just quietly drank wine, and by the way, checked the surrounding situation in the recent period.

I don't know how long it took, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly shouted, "There is!" Then I heard "Poof! With a sip, Oda Nobunaga directly squirted all the wine on the information in his hand.

"You kid, why are you so surprised?" Oda Nobunaga shook off the information that was wet with the drink, and blamed angrily.

However, Oda Yoshinobu completely ignored Oda Nobunaga's blame, and excitedly said the idea he had come up with. Listening carefully to Oda Yoshinobu's thoughts, the more he listened, the more excited Oda Nobunaga became, "Haha! You're really bad, if Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't have the courage to do that, I'm afraid he would be scared to pee. ”

"Hehe, it's best to scare the and pee out, who made that kid look down on people so much before?" Oda Yoshinobu smirked.

At the beginning of March, in just over a dozen days, Ashikaga Yoshiaki led his men to the border between Mino and Omi. This speed is quite fast for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, an uncle who has been sitting in a sedan chair and has to stop and rest at every turn. Moreover, in the face of Asai Nagamasa's invitation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki directly refused. Maybe the most important thing for him now is to arrive at Mino and urge the Oda family to go to Rakuro as soon as possible, right?

"Your Highness the Shogun, walk for half an hour and you will be able to reach Gifu Castle." Niwa Nagahide said respectfully.

"Very well, let's speed up then, I can't wait to meet Oda Guardian." Ashikaga Yoshiaki laughed when he heard this.

The group sped up, but just as they were about to arrive at Gifu Castle, the group suddenly stopped. "What's going on?!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked dissatisfied.

"This ...... It seems to be the troops greeted by the Oda family. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was standing next to the sedan chair, hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Greet the troops? Isn't there already someone to greet you? Ashikaga Yoshiaki muttered suspiciously, then opened the curtain and looked out, and when he saw it, his eyes immediately straightened.

I saw that in front of the road, countless Oda soldiers stood on both sides, dressed in neat armor and holding three guns, standing in place with their heads held high and not squinting.

"This ...... This ......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw this, and immediately panicked and didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Niwa Nagahide.

Niwa Nagahide naturally knew about this for a long time, although he didn't agree too much with Oda Nobunaga's idea of wanting to scare Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but he didn't object to it. Perhaps in the heart of this honest man, he was also quite dissatisfied with the fact that Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked down on the Oda family.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshiaki's gaze, Niwa Nagahide suddenly walked to the side of the palanquin with a smile and said, "Your Royal Highness General, this is the team sent by the lord of the family to greet you. As a general, you naturally need to be treated with the highest treatment. ”

"I see." After listening to Niwa Nagahide's explanation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was immediately relieved. Then, he put on a haughty look and nodded and said, "In that case, then let's continue to go......

Well, perhaps in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's view, since Oda Nobunaga attaches so much importance to himself, then he naturally has to put the score down. It's just that Niwa Nagahide is even more dissatisfied, but he doesn't say much, just orders the troops to move on.

The group continued to move forward, and they didn't know if Ashikaga Yoshiaki had never seen so many troops, or if he wanted to see these troops who would help him in the future. But he didn't pull down the curtain, but kept looking back and forth at those ashigaru bodies.

I don't know how long I walked, but those troops still couldn't see the end, "The Oda family has so many troops?!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki exclaimed. Hearing this, Niwa Nagahide just smiled and said, "The total number of troops that can be mobilized by this family has exceeded 150,000 people......

Well, Niwa Nagahide didn't lie, since the implementation of reserve military service, all young people who are of the right age and are not in the exception regulations have naturally become mobilizable troops. And this is not those ordinary peasant soldiers who are used to replenish the number, all of them are qualified soldiers who have undergone a certain amount of training.

Speaking of which, in order to prepare for the matter of Shangluo, the Oda family has been quite well prepared over the years. Equipment, food, money...... Even if all are mobilized, Oda Nobunaga is confident that he will be able to hold out for more than half a year.

“10…… 150,000 people?! Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Niwa Nagahide dumbfounded, not believing his ears at all. Although he doesn't understand military affairs, hasn't he ever seen a pig run and never eaten pork? What is the concept of 150,000 people? Well, Ashikaga Yoshiaki really didn't know, because after the Onin War, there was no more war in with more than 100,000 people. So in his heart, a force of 20,000 or 30,000 people is already considered a large army, and 150,000 people ......

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart was full of remorse and joy. Remorse, because if he had known that the Oda family had such a large army, he would have brought people over a long time ago. Is the Asakura family a famous family? Are there so many troops?! And the joy is because the forces with such a large army are about to embrace their Shangluo.

On the side, Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka and others were naturally shocked by the number in Niwa Nagahide's mouth, but they didn't open their mouths to question it. After all, now that they are the ones who ask for help, how can they be so ignorant? Well, that's not believing.

After walking for a while, Gifu Castle was not far in front of him, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki had even seen dozens of people on horseback waiting for him under Gifu Castle.

Suddenly, Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard an exclamation from the side, "There are so many iron cannons?" "But it's wise Mitsuhide.

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked around, and suddenly found that the original spear Ashigaru didn't know when it became an iron cannon Ashigaru. Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't know much about iron cannons, but he knew that this weapon was very expensive.

Seeing this, Niwa Nagahide smiled again, "The lord of this family likes this weapon from the Europa continent very much, and although it is difficult to purchase, he has also formed such an iron cannon team of 1,000 people. ”

"1,000 ......," Akechi Mitsuhide muttered to himself, but this time it was more acceptable than the 150,000 people just now. After all, when Oda Nobunaga was still in Owari, he was able to assemble an iron artillery team of 500 people.

When he was about to pass by this iron artillery team, Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly saw the ashigaru of these iron artillery teams raise the iron cannons high, and the muzzle of the guns was pointed into the sky. Just when he didn't know why, he heard Akechi Mitsuhide ask Niwa Nagahide in a sharp voice, "Niwa-sama, what does this mean?" "But it was Akechi Mitsuhide who saw those iron cannons and Ashgaru actually lit the arquebus.

"Hehe, Lord Wise, His Royal Highness the General, don't worry, this is just the initiative of the family to welcome His Royal Highness the General. This form is called a greeting of a gun. Niwa Nagahide said with a chuckle. Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the others could understand what it meant to fire a gun, a continuous sound of iron cannons resounded in this world.

"This ...... This ......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at the Oda army on both sides who were constantly shooting in the air, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. For Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had never seen such a scene, it seemed a little too exciting. Well, let alone Ashikaga Yoshiaki, even Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka's expressions at this time are not much better.

Finally, the group came to Gifu Castle, but everyone's eyes were not focused on Oda Nobunaga, but on the group of giant horses under their crotch. These are naturally the Pegasus that Oda Yoshinobu brought back, and in order to pretend to be forced, Oda Yoshinobu has all the Pegasus people gathered over. So although Maeda Keiji didn't match their identities, they were still caught by Oda Yoshinobu to fill the number.

"Is there such a huge horse in the world?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked up at the row of giant horses and muttered to himself.

At this moment, one of the horsemen slowly walked out and came to a short distance from Ashikaga Yoshiaki and shouted, "Owari Guardian, Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga has seen His Royal Highness the Shogun." ”
