On the path back to Atsuta Jingu, Oda Nobunaga looked relaxed, as if he had just finished a battle that would determine the survival of the Oda family, but had just led his army out for a tour. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, his attitude is also normal, in fact, not only him, but also the entire surviving Oda Army surprise attack team, no one is bitter. Everyone's expressions were so excited, even though it was on the march, they still bragged and laughed wantonly. And this casual appearance, no one came out to stop it.

Oda Yoshinobu took Li Huamei and others to take charge of the palace, and at the same time, he was also responsible for transporting the body of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Well, it's the corpse, although in this era, the general practice is to just cut off the head and take it away, but Oda Nobunaga didn't know why, but he still brought back the body of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"Could it be that this kid became sympathetic to each other after a fight with Imagawa Yoshimoto?" Yoshinobu Oda touched his chin and muttered.

"Hehe, isn't that normal? Between the strong, they will always appreciate each other inexplicably, even if they are enemies, it has been like this since ancient times~" Li Huamei said with a chuckle.

"Strong?" Oda Yoshinobu glanced at the corpse of Imagawa Yoshimoto behind him, muttering to himself. Well, he never felt that Imagawa Yoshimoto was a strong man, and there was no way, who made Imagawa Yoshimoto exist as a foil to Oda Nobunaga all the time?

"Perhaps......" Oda Yoshinobu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that if it weren't for the strange and even more strange rainstorm, it was absolutely unknown whether the Oda Army would have been able to successfully sneak attack.

At the same time that the Oda army withdrew to Kiyoshu, the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death in battle finally reached the Narumi and Atsuta fronts. Almost instantly, the collapse of the Imagawa army.

It may sound like an exaggeration, but it's true. In this era, the significance of a general is absolutely beyond imagination, let alone a daimyo.

It's like the famous Osaka Summer Battle, Sanada Yukimura fought to the death to attack the Tokugawa Army's main camp. Although Sanada Yukimura was raided with despair, what if Tokugawa Ieyasu was killed suddenly? I believe that history will definitely be rewritten in an instant, right?

The Tokugawa Army was composed of elite troops composed of various daimyos, not to mention the Imagawa Army, which was composed of a mixture of various people, such as ronin, bandits, homeless, and wild samurai.

However, although the Imagawa army was scattered, the Oda army did not pursue, because although they were victorious, their losses were definitely not small. In order to block the onslaught of the Imagawa army, the casualties of the Oda army were completely beyond everyone's imagination. However, none of this matters anymore, because they won!

When Oda Nobunaga led the team to Atsuta Jingu, Shibata Katsuya and the others, who had already rushed back after hearing the news, had been waiting for a long time. They looked at Oda Nobunaga with excited, uplifted, adoring, fanatical expressions, the big fool of Owari? The name will disappear from their minds forever. Instead, the lord of the Oda family's revival.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's body did not come with him, but was sent directly to Kiyoshu Castle by Oda Nobunaga. Otherwise, I'm afraid this group of people will not be able to help crying.

However, when Oda Nobunaga stands on a high platform, the first thing he says is not "We have won." "Rather, he was asking about the war.

"Kecheng, how is the movement of the Imagawa army?" Oda Nobunaga asked solemnly. Although he had already received the news, he couldn't help but ask in person.

"Back to the lord! The Imagawa army had broken up after hearing that Ieto had been killed in battle. Because the loss of his family was too large, his subordinates did not send troops to pursue him. Sen Kecheng said with some shame.

"Well, it's as it should be not pursued, well done!" Oda Nobunaga was not annoyed, but praised it twice.

"My lord, the old Matsui Munenobu of the Imagawa family, led more than 100 people from the family to launch a surprise attack after the troops broke up, and all of them were killed in battle." Takigawa Kazuyi said in a low voice.

"Alas, he is also a loyal and brave man, a thick burial!" Oda Nobunaga said with a sigh.

"Yes!"

"My lord, the enemy general Okabe Motonobu is now leading a troop of about 300 people, and he has not come out again after retreating to the Zenshoji Temple, and his subordinates have ordered people to surround the Zenshoji Temple." Sakuma Nobumori said cautiously.

Although he won the battle, he had escaped before after all, so he was very worried that Oda Nobunaga would settle accounts with him. And with Oda Nobunaga's current prestige, even if he really blames him, no one will jump out to intercede with him.

However, Oda Nobunaga obviously does not intend to pursue it anymore, or rather does not intend to pursue it now. He just nodded in response and asked casually, "Did he say anything?" ”

Oda Nobunaga naturally didn't think that Okabe Motoshin would really think that the Imagawa army would make a comeback, after all, the family governor died in battle, and there was no 1 or 2 years, and the Imagawa family didn't want to send troops at all.

"It is said that he wants to retrieve the body of Yoshimoto Imagawa." Nobumori Sakuma replied quickly.

"Oh? Hehe, another loyal and brave man...... What a pity...... ......It's a pity," Oda Nobunaga sighed again, for any daimyo would love this kind of loyal samurai, even if it was an enemy.

However, it was obviously impossible for Imagawa Yoshimoto's body to be handed over to him, after all, it was a great honor for the Oda family. Moreover, Oda Nobunaga also hopes that he will personally bury Imagawa Yoshimoto, which can be regarded as a respect for his opponent.

A moment later, after all the retainers had reported, Oda Nobunaga suddenly asked curiously, "What about the people of the Matsudaira family?" Why do you hear about it? ”

"Back to the lord, after the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death in the battle came, the Matsudaira army retreated directly." Sen Kecheng said with some disdain. Well, it was normal for the Matsudaira army to retreat directly, but everything was afraid of comparison, not to mention that the Matsudaira army withdrew so quickly.

"Hehe, this kid...... It's interesting~" Oda Nobunaga muttered with a strange smile.

Subsequently, after Oda Nobunaga issued several orders, he led his ministers to worship again. Although I don't believe in any gods, after all, I prayed before the war, and this time it can be regarded as a so-called vow. At the same time, Oda Nobunaga had already decided in his heart that he would reward Atsuta Jingu with some money after he returned. But that's a later story, so I won't mention it.

Night.

In the castle tower of Cheongju Castle, Nohime is kneeling in the hall of the castle tower with a childish knife beside her. Beside him were more than a dozen maids, who tied their hair with white cloth and stood around with childish knives in their hands. Naturally, they weren't cosplaying or anything, but they were preparing to put up a final resistance when the enemy attacked Cheongju Castle. Men fight and women defend the city, that's it, right?

At this moment, an excited voice came in, "Anon! Ji Nai! I am back! Before everyone could react, Oda Nobunaga ran in at once, and when he saw the stunned Nohime, he hugged her in his arms and shouted, "Nong! We won! We won! ”

Oda Nobunaga kept shouting and roaring, and kept jumping around with Nohime in his arms like a child. And at this time, Nonghime finally reacted as well, "Really? Then I'm really going to congratulate you~Jiboshi~" Nonghime said with a smile, not at all surprised by this. But she wrapped her arms around Oda Nobunaga, but she couldn't help but tighten.

A moment later, Yoshino and Naoko, who were praying constantly in the back room, rushed over when they heard the news, "Congratulations to the lord!" The two women said excitedly. Compared with Nonghime, the reaction of the two girls is much more normal.

"Haha! Nong, I'm hungry! Oda Nobunaga smiled and hugged the two girls and shouted.

"Yes~ I'll order someone to prepare." Nong Jijiao replied with a smile, with a hint of spring in the corners of her eyes.

Shift the perspective to the main character.

Oda Yoshinobu did not follow the army back to ask for leave, but took Li Huamei and Tsuru directly back to Nakono Castle. Although he kept explaining that he didn't want Achi and them to worry too much, how could Keiji Maeda, a retainer who had followed Oda Yoshinobu for many years, not understand the thoughts of his lord? Naturally, it is impossible to say anything.

When they returned home, Ah Shi was already waiting here with his daughters. As soon as he came in, Ah Shi couldn't wait to put his arm around Oda Yoshinobu, "Brother Overlord Maru, you're not injured, are you?" While muttering, he kept checking in circles.

"Hey, do you want to check? Then come with me to take a shower and check it slowly~" Oda Nobunaga smiled strangely, hugged Aichi and walked in the direction of the bathroom. As he walked, he shouted to the girls, "You guys come together~"

"Pervert!" Li Huamei scolded with a smile, but she still followed with the crane with a red face.

Ah Song stood there shyly and hesitated, and hurriedly followed.

As for the three maids in Yuda, they naturally followed, after all, so many people take a bath, someone has to be served, right?

Well, one man and seven women? Tsk, it seems that Oda Yoshinobu is not going to sleep tonight.

But speaking of which, tonight will be a sleepless night for either the Oda family or the Imagawa family, right?

At noon the next day, Oda Yoshinobu struggled out of the gentle countryside.

"Master, Your Highness has sent someone to spread the word, and an assessment will be held in Cheongju at the time of Shen." Yu Da knelt at the door and said respectfully.

"Yu Da, you still got up so early...... "Oda Yoshinobu looked at Yu Da and sighed. He knew how crazy he was last night, just by looking at people like Li Huamei and Crane who practiced martial arts, they were still asleep.

"It's a slave's duty." Yu Da said softly.

When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he immediately frowned, but before he could say anything, Ning Ning and Duo Choji came over with a basin of water and some food.

"You three ......" Oda Yoshinobu shook his head helplessly, and then motioned to the maid next to him to take the things from the hands of the two women, and then walked to the side of the two girls and slapped them directly on their little buttocks.

"Ahh "Ahh

Two coquettish voices, Ning Ning and Duo Choji looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a flattering face. Okay, let's not talk about it, Ning Ning has become so sensitive, Oda Yoshinobu really wants to know how Yu Da taught this girl.

However, last night's big battle, coupled with the fact that he had to rush to Cheongju, so he didn't play another daytime prostitution. What's more, the two girls still have tiredness on their faces now.

"You two go give me a good rest!"

"This ......" Ning Ning and Duo Keji couldn't help but look at Yu Da when they heard this.

"Let's go~" Yu Da chuckled and nodded, and the two girls cheered and ran back to the room to catch up on sleep.

"Tsk, Yu Da, I didn't expect your methods to be very powerful~ Ning Ning's little girl was so obedient to be trained by you." Oda Yoshinobu pulled Yu Da up and hugged him in his arms, and said with a strange smile.

"This is what a slave should do~" Yu Da snuggled into Oda Yoshinobu's arms with a satisfied look.

"What should be done~ Then do you know what you didn't do today?" Yoshinobu Oda's tone suddenly became serious.

"Slave...... I don't know...... Please punish the master......" Yu Daleng paused, but did not refute anything, but said respectfully.

"You!" Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu helplessly touched Yu Da's pretty face and said, "I told you, you are not an ordinary maid, so it would be good to leave those rough jobs to others in the future." Now~Give me a good rest~"

"But......" Yu Da hesitated, but his face was full of emotion. Well, how far has this woman fallen?

"It's nothing, but ~ obedient ~ You have to remember that the only thing the three of you need to do in the future is to ......" Oda Yoshinobu said, whispering something in his big ear. In an instant, Yu Da's cheeks were flushed.

Cheongju City, assessment room.

All the important ministers of the Oda family gathered here, and they talked loudly, with uncontrollable joy in their words and expressions. It is not only the joy of the rest of the life, but also the hope for the future of the Oda family.

"Stepping on the ......" There was a sound of footsteps, and the assessment room instantly returned to quiet. With fanatical gaze, the crowd looked at the door, or rather, at the man who appeared at the door.

"Lord!"

Everyone shouted in unison, probably for the first time since Oda Nobunaga succeeded the family governor, they shouted so naturally, so naturally.

"Everyone!" Oda Nobunaga looked around at everyone, his sharp eagle eyes with an inexplicable majesty. "This family! Victory! ”

Oda Nobunaga's words once again sent the evaluation room into a frenzy, and after a long time, under the signal of Oda Nobunaga, everyone regained their calm.

"Lin!"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiuzhen walked out slowly and respectfully accepted the scroll handed over by Oda Nobunaga. Because of Lin Xiuzhen's exploits in Atsuta, he once again became the head of the Oda family.

"In this joint battle, the Imagawa army was defeated in the barrel narrow, more than 3,000 beheaded, and countless flags, weapons, and armor were captured......"

After the reward, Oda Nobunaga held a grand banquet. Subsequently, under the leadership of Oda Yoshinobu, all the retainers toasted Oda Nobunaga one after another. And Oda Nobunaga also did not refuse to come, and the result was ...... Hehe...... (To be continued.) )
