"What? Shibata Gonroku's Hokuriku Army was defeated? ”

Oda Nobutada's capture of Iwamura Castle and the joy of recovering Higashimino came to naught.

And Kawajiri Hidetaka, who was standing behind Oda Nobutada, had a trace of imperceptible joy on his face, but he disappeared instantly, and his face was replaced with a shocked look, and he shouted: "Nonsense, Lord Shibata, is the chief general of the family, and the art of war and strategy are all first-class, how can it be easy to defeat miserably?" ”

The samurai bowed his head and recounted the disastrous defeat of Shibata Katsuie in Hokuriku.

Kawajiri Hidetaka listened, and pretended to say: "Lost Shibata Quan Roku usually boasted of being the first fierce general of his family, and he was known for his bravery, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to be in person, so he fled from the wind, and he didn't dare to fight, and he actually lost the army, so that's it, and he lost all the face of his family, and asked the lord to kill Shibata quickly, and to be disciplined." ”

Oda Nobutada's fists clenched when he heard this, obviously on the verge of exploding, but then he closed his eyes, forced himself to suppress this anger, turned his head and said, "You can't kill Shibata." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Kawajiri Hidetaka's eyes, and he immediately lowered his head and asked, "May I ask the lord, why did you make such a judgment?" ”

Oda Nobutada opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You can't kill Shibata, this person is the first important minister of the family anyway, and Hokuriku Province is the first army of the family, if you kill Shibata, who else can change the general." ”

"Akechi Mitsuhide is in charge of the Army, which is equally important, Hashiba Hidenaga is still not qualified enough, Takigawa Kazuki has just suffered a big defeat, and his prestige has been damaged, and only Shibata has come and gone. I'm counting on him to guard Hokuriku. Defend against the Hida Echichu Army's road to's Kamirakura, so even though I have a thousand reasons to kill Shibata. But now, for the sake of the bigger picture, we must also deal with the aftermath for him. ”

Speaking of which. Oda Nobutada turned his face to look at Hidetaka Kawajiri and said, "What's more, the Hokuriku Legion Shibata has been in business for a long time, and the top and bottom are like iron buckets, if you suddenly want to kill him." I am afraid that this thief will hear the news and go to a dead end. Self-reliance or defection to Takeda, then it is a big danger to the family! ”

Hidetaka Kawajiri listened to the other party's analysis and nodded slowly. Looking at the two loose stubbles on Oda Nobutada's face. And there is a bit of a resemblance to Nobunaga's appearance.

Hidetaka Kawajiri suddenly felt that he had looked down on this family governor in the past, yes, Oda Nobutada was inferior to Oda Nobunaga, but it was not easy to be controlled.

Kawajiri Hidetaka said at the moment: "Then how should the Shibata Katsu family deal with this defeat?" ”

Oda Nobutaka snorted and said, "Of course, you can't afford him easily. He wrote a letter to the past and lashed out, and confiscated his 30,000 Zhixing in Kita-Omi. as a punishment. But blindly punishing, you will only lose Shibata's heart, hasn't Shibata always been interested in Ashi? I will make the decision and give my sister to him. ”

Kawajiri Hidetaka nodded when he heard this, Oda Nobutada's skill was very skillful, confiscated Zhixing, weakened Shibata's power, and remarried his sister, so that Shibata Katsuya was promoted to Oda's family.

Oda Nobutada said at the moment: "As soon as Shibata is defeated, Li Xiao may take advantage of this great victory and march to Echizen, Mino, I must meet Gifu Castle as soon as possible as a precaution, as for the 50,000 stone Zhiyuki of Iwamura Castle, as well as Higashi Mino, please leave it to you." After I go back, I will discuss the establishment of the Nakasendo Legion of my family, and then you will be the general of the Legion, and I will entrust you with the Nakasendo Raiders. ”

When Hidetaka Kawajiri heard that Oda Nobutada had appointed him as the lord of Iwamura Castle and added him as the general of the Nakasendo Legion, he was overjoyed, and his body trembled and knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, your subordinates will definitely swear to repay you." ”…,

Oda Nobutada laughed and said: "Yo Bingwei, you are my most confidant, I don't believe who else you can trust." ”

Oh!

Hidetaka Kawajiri agreed loudly.

Compared with the historical Nakasendo Army, the general general was replaced by Oda Nobutada, the original deputy general Kawajiri Hidetaka, and after subduing Higashi Mino, and the early rebellion of the Kiso family, the Nakasendo Army further penetrated into the hinterland of the Takeda family Shinano.

This has a far-reaching impact on the history of the Warring States that has changed because of Li Xiao's travel.

Back to Hokuriku at this moment.

Honyoshiminato, located in Kaga Province, is the estuary of the Tetori River and one of the seven towns of Sanminato, and is an important port town on the northern route along with Echizen Sanminato and Norikawajima Minato.

And the people of Yoshiminato, Japan, when they had just slept all night and just got up, found that the river in front of them had countless corpses floating on them, and then piled up on the edge of the riverbank......

The scene was as terrifying as the presence of a demon in the water, many of which were covered in weapons and armor, and the corpses of horses were suspended there.

When the people of Kaga saw this, they felt like a nightmare of the day, and they were terrified.

In September of the fifth year of Tensho, the Battle of Tetori River was another major defeat for the Oda family since the Battle of Nagashino.

The Hokuriku Army, the Oda family's most powerful army, was heavily damaged.

Right now, there is a long line on the side of the river, stretching forward.

The people in this team were expressionless, sluggish, and their clothes were ragged, as if they had lost their souls.

Everyone in the group was raised with long ropes, tied with their hands, and then lined up in several columns, walking slowly with bare feet.

There were hundreds of people in each of these teams, and one by one they headed north under the watchful eye of more than thirty Takeda soldiers.

These people were all prisoners of the Shibata army who surrendered to the Takeda army in the Battle of Tetorigawa.

These people were too late to cross the river, and finally abandoned on the other side of the river, just separated by a river, it was like heaven and hell.

If the army loses the courage to fight, it will be like a group of civilians, and the morale of these Shibata soldiers is extremely low.

At this time, suddenly a column of horseback riding teams with the sun and moon on their backs galloped in front of a group of Shibata Army prisoners, and shouted to them: "Stop! ”

This sudden arrival of the cavalry surprised the group of captives, and they did not know what the other party's intentions were.

In this year, it is also common to kill prisoners of war who have laid down their arms.

The Oda family itself has done no less than this.

The soldiers of the Shibata Army all looked at the cavalry of the Takeda Army with horror on their faces.

And this group of cavalry did not talk nonsense, after dismounting together, each of them stepped forward to pick up a Shibata army prisoner, and picked up a piece of cloth in his hand to compare.

After that, one by one, I looked at the past.

After being inspected, although they felt that the Takeda Army was acting roughly, it was not malicious intent, but it seemed that they were searching for someone.

One of the Takeda cavalrymen stopped when he walked up to a tall man covered in blood and scars.

Seeing this, the man smiled and said, "Yes, I am the Maeda Toshiya you are looking for." ”
