Under the effect of Matsudaira Ieyasu's kneeling prayer, the Matsudaira family united as one and actively prepared for battle. www.biquge.info However, it is clear that in the face of the terror of Ichichi, the rebellion of the Matsudaira family on their side, and the attack of the pro-Imagawa faction, the so-called preparations are very futile.

On the day that the temple issued the payment, as the first person to be included in the list of crusades at the same time as Matsudaira Ieyasu, he tragically became the first victim of Mikawa Ichichi. And he couldn't even organize the defense of the city, so he was directly cut off by the rebellious retainers and sacrificed the city.

Two hours later, the castles of the Matsudaira family in various parts of Mikawa were constantly breached or surrendered. Only a few samurai loyal to the Matsudaira clan held the castle, but if there were no troops to support them, it was only a matter of time before these castles fell.

In that ancient no castle, Oda Yoshinobu was burying his head on the desk, holding a pen and constantly writing and drawing. He was designing training equipment for the dojo side, well, mainly because Nobutsuna Kamiizumi came to ask for help, because the students of the dojo often get injured during training. Well, the practice in this era is basically a choice of real knives and wooden knives. But obviously, either way, it is easy to get hurt.

So Oda Yoshinobu is ready to get out the equipment used to learn kendo in later generations, although he didn't learn kendo in his previous life, isn't it a bamboo knife and protective gear~

I don't know how long it took, but Oda Yoshinobu finally got a simple schematic diagram of the equipment, and was about to ask someone to send it to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and immediately, Maeda Keiji's trademark loud voice rang out. "My lord! Lord! Big things are wrong! ”

"You're not good, kid! What's the matter? So flustered? Oda Yoshinobu smiled and scolded lazily, stretching his waist without any image. In other words, such a hot summer day is really not suitable for handling government affairs, so Oda Yoshinobu now just wants to enjoy a cold beer while enjoying the shade of a tree.

It's just that his wish is obviously impossible to come true, and I saw Keiji Maeda running in in a hurry, and there was a man in a leotard behind him. Blinked strangely, and was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Rub, isn't this kid Hattori Hanzo?" Why are you here? Oda Yoshinobu thought strangely, and at the same time had a faint bad thought in his heart.

You must know that Hattori Hanzo is the head of the ninja of the Matsudaira family, and it is generally impossible to dispatch if there is nothing to do. And his appearance at this time means that there is a big problem on the Matsudaira family's side, and they have to let the ninja Hattori Hanzo, who is the fastest and strongest in martial arts, personally dispatch.

Sure enough, Hattori Hanzo's first sentence made Oda Yoshinobu confused, "Oda-sama, something is wrong, Mikawa broke out all the time, and countless retainers of my family who converted to the Ichisho sect rebelled. What's even more serious is that Sakai Tadashi, who is close to the Imagawa faction, and the Kira clan of Higashi Mikawa and others sent troops at the same time, and I am afraid that at this time it is almost to Okazaki Castle. ”

Oda Yoshinobu blinked when he heard this, with a confused look, obviously for such a big news, he seemed to be a little unable to accept it for a while.

Seeing that Oda Yoshinobu did not react, Hattori Hanzo suddenly shouted anxiously, "Oda-sama, please send troops to rescue Okazaki immediately, if it is too late, I am afraid that Mikawa will return to the hands of the Imagawa family!" ”

"I'm rubbing! Play so big?! Oda Yoshinobu jumped up with a scream, and he finally reacted. Keiji, you immediately gather the Grim Reapers, and at the same time mobilize the troops, as many as you can! Hanzo, you immediately follow me to Cheongju Castle! Oda Yoshinobu shouted, then grabbed Hattori Hanzo and rushed out.

"Hey, what are you going to do in such a panic? There are still a lot of government affairs that have not been handled well! As soon as the two walked out a short distance, they met Li Huamei and He walking slowly with a pile of papers, seeing this, Li Huamei asked curiously.

It's just obvious that Oda Yoshinobu is not in the mood to answer Li Huamei's question at this time, or he may not have heard it, because in just the blink of an eye, the two of them have disappeared in front of Li Huamei's two daughters.

Blinking, the two women looked at each other suspiciously, "Are you dazzled?" Li Huamei asked strangely.

At this time, Maeda Keiji also hurried out, and Li Huamei suddenly asked, "Keiji, did something big happen?" I just seemed to see the lord rushing out in a hurry. ”

"Lord Li, something is wrong, there has been a rebellion on the Mikawa side, and it seems that there are still many retainers of the Matsudaira family ......who have rebelled," Maeda Keiji explained anxiously, "In short, the lord now asks me to gather all the Death God Cult in the next place, and I have to mobilize the troops as much as possible, so I will take my leave first!" ”

After saying that, Keiji Maeda left in a hurry. Li Huamei and He glanced at each other, immediately ran into the house and put the paperwork on the desk, and then hurried to the training ground.

At this time, Oda Yoshinobu grabbed Hattori Hanzo's clothes and rushed towards Kiyoshu Castle. In other words, in this way, Hattori Hanzo was completely carried by Oda Yoshinobu, which is quite embarrassing for a samurai. And Hattori Hanzo just started, and he also wanted Oda Yoshinobu to put himself down.

It's just that after feeling the speed of Oda Yoshinobu, he dispelled this idea after less than a second, his face is small, and Matsudaira Ieyasu's safety is big, "As long as you can get to Kiyoshu City as soon as possible, you will lose face......" Hattori Hanzo thought secretly.

Although one person was mentioned, there was no hindrance to Oda Yoshinobu's speed, and it didn't take long for Oda Yoshinobu to rush to Kiyoshu Castle.

"Oda-sama!" The guards guarding the city gate saw Oda Yoshinobu from a distance and hurriedly greeted him, but as soon as the words fell, they felt a strong wind blowing beside them, and Oda Yoshinobu was already gone.

"This ......," a doorman looked at his companion strangely.

"Looks like something big is going to happen!" Another doorman said with an affirmative expression.

When Oda Yoshinobu came to the room where Oda Nobunaga was, he found Oda Nobunaga resting.

"What's wrong Yoshinobu? In a hurry, doesn't it fit your style? Oda Nobunaga saw Oda Yoshinobu rushing in in a hurry, and immediately quipped, and then, he suddenly saw Oda Yoshinobu carrying a person, and was about to ask a question, but Oda Yoshinobu was already shouting over there.

"Brother, it's not good, Mikawa broke out all the time, and many of the retainers of the Matsudaira family also rebelled! In addition, there are many Mikawa wealthy families who are close to the Imagawa family responding!! ”

"What?!" Oda Nobunaga stood up all of a sudden, and looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a serious face, "Is this serious?" ”

"Your Highness Oda, this matter is absolutely true!" Hattori Hanzo didn't care about being rude at this time, and bowed down in front of Oda Nobunaga and quickly told him about Mikawa's situation when he came.

"Someone! Come! When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he immediately shouted, and then after the little surname rushed over, he yelled at him, "Quick! Gather all your retainers to the city! Be sure to be fast! ”

After giving the order, Oda Nobunaga turned his head to look at Oda Yoshinobu and said, "Yoshinobu, the situation in Mikawa is serious, you immediately bring people to support the Matsudaira family now, and you must protect Mikawa!" ”

"Yes!" Oda Yoshinobu answered, and then planned to leave directly, but was stopped by Oda Nobunaga.

"Wait! If Mikawa is really as Hanzo said, then the number of enemy troops will probably exceed 3 or 40,000 people, and with your Death God Sect of 100 people, I'm afraid it won't be of much use! Oda Nobunaga said, pondering for a moment before saying again, "That's it! You take all the troops in the city, and all the 500 iron artillery teams with you! That's about 700 people. ”

"Brother, don't worry! On the Furono side, I have already ordered people to mobilize as many troops as possible, and it is estimated that there will be about 1 or 200 people...... "Oda Yoshinobu said.

"Well, yes, you go at once, and we'll be there!" Oda Nobunaga said.

"Yes!" Oda Yoshinobu replied.

With a force of 700 people, it is obvious that there is no way to be as fast as before, but although Oda Yoshinobu and Hattori Hanzo are anxious, they don't have much to do. After all, the speed is so fast, you can't let them sprint with all their strength to rush to that ancient field, right? In this way, even if they get to Nakono, they probably won't be able to go to Mikawa.

I don't know how long it took to be like this, but the ancient wild city was finally in front of me, and at this time, suddenly there was a shout from behind me, "Yoshinobu! Righteous faith! ”

"Huh?" Oda Yoshinobu looked behind him curiously, but found that it was Maeda Toshiya, "Lijia, why are you here?" ”

"Yoshinobu, it's not good! The Saito family also sent troops, a full 10,000 people, so the lord had no way to send troops to support Mikawa! Maeda Toshiya said quickly.

"What?!" Oda Yoshinobu and Hattori Hanzo were shocked at the same time, if there is no support from the Oda family, what will happen to Mikawa?

"The lord also said that on the other side of the three rivers, I will leave it to you to deal with, but if it really can't be done, I will rescue Matsudaira and the others and retreat to the area of Kariya Castle to defend! In short, it is impossible for the family to send troops in a short period of time. Maeda Toshiya said with a serious face.

"This ......" Hattori Hanzo opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. What can he say? Could it be that the Oda family should ignore the Saito army and help the Matsudaira family? But without the support of the Oda family, with more than 1,000 people here? When Hattori Hanzo came, he saw those rioters, and it can really be said that they are all over the mountains. I don't have time to count them, but at that scale, I'm afraid that the 30,000 or 40,000 people mentioned by Oda Nobunaga are still less.

"In short, the lord said, Sanhe must not be lost! We must find a way to keep Mikawa! Maeda Toshiya finally finished speaking, and showed a wry smile to Oda Yoshinobu, "Yoshinobu, although this is the lord's order, but if there is really danger, you still have to find a way to protect yourself......"

Maeda Toshiie's words silenced Oda Yoshinobu, because this was really bad news that couldn't be worse, but after hearing Maeda Toshiie's last words, he suddenly looked at Maeda Toshiya with disdain, "Okay, isn't it just that the lord's side can't send troops?" Don't worry, just those of us are enough to deal with those rioters! ”

Oda Yoshinobu's indifferent attitude suddenly stunned Maeda Toshiya and the others, but Oda Yoshinobu's words were not finished, "Who am I?" I've defeated the man of the Sword Saint Tsukahara Buden! The strongest samurai in the world! In the past, the Asakura family of the Asakura family was able to break 300,000 in the Jiulong River, since he can do it, I have no reason not to! ”

Oda Yoshinobu's words silenced Maeda Toshiie, and after a long time, he solemnly patted Oda Yoshinobu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "You must come back alive!" After saying that, he left directly.

"I'm rubbing, I'm serious! It's not to comfort you! How could Oda Yoshinobu not know Maeda Toshiya's thoughts, and suddenly shouted unhappily.

"Oda-sama, really...... Can you win? Hattori Hanzo, who was stunned on the side, was awakened by Oda Yoshinobu's shouting, and looked at Oda Yoshinobu with some hesitation and asked.

"Huh? You don't believe it either?! Oda Yoshinobu looked at Hattori Hanzou fiercely and asked.

"Nope! The villain believes, believes! Hattori Hanzo hurriedly replied.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it! Let's go! Oda Yoshinobu snorted coldly, and then set off again. After a short time, everyone came to the outside of Nakono Castle, where Keiji Maeda and the others had already assembled their troops and were waiting.

"My lord! A total of 2,000 troops were mobilized this time! It is already the limit of what can be mobilized. Keiji Maeda stepped forward and said loudly.

"Huh? So much? Oda Yoshinobu listened to this number in shock, plucked his ears, obviously unable to believe it. It's just that when he saw the troops in front of him, he understood why there were so many people.

4. 50-year-old people, 11-2-year-old children, many of them didn't even have weapons, so they took a wooden stick.

"This ...... Keiji, what are you kid doing?! Oda Yoshinobu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted angrily at Keiji Maeda.

"Lord of the Castle! Please don't blame Maeda-sama, it's all voluntary. An old man slowly walked out and said. Ever since the castle lord became the lord of Nakono, he has never let us fight, and he has continued to improve our lives...... This time, I heard that the city lord was going to mobilize the troops, and I knew that it might be a very dangerous situation, so I ......."

"I'm rubbing, I'm so popular?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the old man dumbfounded, obviously not expecting such a result. But if you think about it, it's actually normal. After all, after Oda Yoshinobu became the lord of Nakono Castle, the people under the rule of Nakono Castle never felt war again, because this kid never mobilized troops, but only used his 100 Death God Clan.

In addition, Oda Yoshinobu attaches great importance to business and hates those ruffians and thieves, and now his 4,000 stone territory can be said to be a well-off life without closing the door at night.

It's just that after reacting, Oda Yoshinobu still let those old people and children leave, "The old man has contributed half his life to the family, and the children are the future of the family, how can they go into battle?" Yoshinobu Oda shouted excitedly. Well, this kid is quite touched by this kind of thing.

After some screening, 500 young men were finally left, and then Oda Yoshinobu marched to Mikawa with this 1,300-strong army.
