Echizen territory.

The flag seal of Yongle Tongbao is fluttering in the north wind.

Straw sandals stepped through the land of the northern continent, where the ice and snow had just melted, and landed on this cold land.

The road was muddy, and the horses' hooves kicked on it, making one deep and one shallow hoof print.

Oda Nobutada still used the Nobunaga horse seal folding golden Tang umbrella.

Oda Nobutada himself, on the other hand, did not wear a Nanban suit, but a pair of large armor worn by an authentic samurai, which was worn by the Oda family governor.

When Nobunaga went out to stab Imagawa Yoshimoto and beg for it, he was also wearing this big armor.

Now Oda Nobutada, riding on a snow-white war horse, beside all the flag warriors, all the banners of the samurai, all guarding the side, hugging him in the center, looking particularly majestic.

Under his headpocket, Oda Nobutada's eyes were sharp, and his two mustaches were properly attached to his face, making his appearance faintly look like Nobunaga's demeanor.

And now Oda Nobutada is even more ambitious, this time he is in control of the Oda family's heavy troops, to the north to crusade against Li Xiaofei's Yuezhong Army, and relieve the siege of the North Village.

He is determined to win this battle.

For Shibata Katsuya, Oda Nobutada's memory is still fresh.

At the Gifu Conference after the Battle of Nagashino, Shibata Katsuya relied on his identity as the head of his own family to control the military council, and did not take his own governor in the slightest.

Later, Shibata Katsuya was the abbot of the Hokuriku Legion, and he was in a high position, and Oda Nobutada also swallowed his anger.

And now Shibata Katsuya, who has always been arrogant in the past, is trapped in a lonely city, looking at his reinforcements.

Presumably the current Shibata Katsuya. It must be a sad and bleak look.

When Oda Nobutada thought about it, after the siege was lifted under Kitanoso Castle, what kind of expression did Shibata Katsuya have.

Should I beat him down and expel the unpleasantness of the past, or should I lift the board high and put it down gently as a kindness.

These are all things that a governor should consider.

Oda Nobutada thought for a while, snorted softly, and already had a plan in his heart. None of this matters, anyway.

However, he was able to take advantage of the weakness of the Hokuriku Army after the defeat of the Tetorigawa River and threw Kitanosho Castle as a bait.

This is what Oda Nobutada's plan and planning has been planned for a long time.

Zhuang City in the north is the only way for Li Xiao's army to go south, and Li Xiao will definitely come to attack.

Therefore, he laid out here in advance, which was also his proud work, luring the enemy to the void. Let him unknowingly enter the trap.

Oda Nobutada is confident, even his father Oda Nobunaga back then, it is a means that he did not expect.

Now Li Xiao has been attracted to the city, and the five-month siege and the severe cold of the North Continent have made the Hida Echichu Legion brave and good at fighting in the past. Lost sharpness.

has been working for a long time, and then the fatigue of military rations, Li Xiao's army is already a tired division.

As long as the main army led by Oda Nobutada arrives, with the cooperation of Shibata Katsuya's internal and external attacks, Li Xiao's army will inevitably be defeated in one battle.

The answer to this is yes. The only uncertainty is whether Li Xiao can be captured alive.

After defeating the Hida-Echichu Army, all Oda Nobutada had to do was to take advantage of the momentum of a great victory and attack the Higashiyama Road.

The Tokai Daodaochuan family can slow down, and then Tokugawa Ieyasu will naturally recognize the general trend of the world.

And the Takeda family is the confidant of the Oda family. It must be eradicated.

Leading the division to destroy, holding Takeda Shinfan, Takeda Shinkatsu, counting his sins and asking in front of him, this is the happiness of life.

After the eradication of Takeda, the trend of the world, the Oda family has two-thirds, and it will not take two to three years. You can integrate the world, look at it one step further, or you can crusade against North Korea and the Ming Kingdom.

This is not because Oda Nobutada is arrogant, he is only twenty-two years old, and even if he rules the world, he will not be thirty years old, or even forty years old. …,

There is enough time to support the realization of his ambitions.

Buwu world!

Father, I have faithfully gone far farther than you.

Tick tick.

A fast horse galloped from the front, interrupting Oda Nobutada's thoughts.

"My lord."

Oda Nobutada turned his head and saw that it was his uncle Oda Nagayoshi.

"Is there any emergency military information?"

After Oda Nagayi dismounted, he looked a little flustered and said: "Back to the lord, the left flank and right flank of the forward, there is a Takeda army. ”

Oda Nobutaka thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said: "It must be the Echizen Hao clan who has been attached to Li Xiao, such a combat power is not worth mentioning, and the commander of the order forest can directly assault, and it can be annihilated." ”

"Back to the lord, it doesn't seem to be a rabble like the Echizen wealthy clan in front of you, but Li Xiao's elite standing army."

Oda Nobutaka was stunned when he heard this, Li Xiao's standing reserves, he had long heard that when Changshino fought together, Li Xiao defeated the 10,000 troops of the Oda army with 5,000 standing reserves, and its combat power was particularly shocking.

Oda Nobutaka muttered: "How is it possible, Li Xiao's standing guard actually did not participate in the attack on Beizhizhuang City. Which is the permanent flag seal? ”

"Judging from the flag seal, it is the snake tail and the tiger is prepared! There are also a large number of cavalry regiments, which should be prepared by the sun and the moon! ”

"This is the pro-army of Li Xiao's father and son, and there is also the sun and the moon," Oda Nobutada's face sank, and he said, "This is a strong enemy." ”

Just as Oda Nobutada's words fell, an envoy with a small flag galloped over and reported to Oda Nobutada: "My lord, Lord Mori Nagako has reported it, and it has appeared in front again, the flag seal of the Jimbo Nagaken and Maeda Toshiya." ”

"Impossible!"

Oda Nobutada's face turned pale suddenly, and he said, "Is Li Xiao going to leave the Northern Village City and come to fight me in a decisive battle?" Joke. ”

"Maybe there is another possibility, Li Xiao broke through Beizhizhuang City and led the whole army to fight a decisive battle with me." Oda Nagayi whispered.

Oda Nobutada waved his horsewhip heavily, glared at Oda Nagayi with both eyes, and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again. ”

Oda Nagama was silent.

On the other hand, Li Xiao conquered Kitanozhuang Castle, Shibata Katsuya, and Oda City were in the castle tower, and the matter of arson spread to Kanto like the wind.

Kurokawa Castle in Dewa.

After Mogami Yoshimitsu saw the battle report from Hokuriku, he was silent for a long time, and then said with a long sigh: "Major General Konoe is really the fierce tiger of the Takeda family, and he actually captured the castle of Kitanozhuang in one day. ”

The retainers on the side said: "My lord, the fighter plane is undecided, and the main force of the Oda Army is still in a confrontation with the main force of the Vietaka Hida Army." ”

Mogami Yoshimitsu waved his hand and said, "It's not that I haven't given Oda and Hojo a chance, but the Takeda family has Li Xiao, and it has become a settlement to seize the world." This is the irreversible trend of the world, and the hero should follow the trend in order to take advantage of the time. ”

"So follow my orders, go and make peace with the Date family, and we will join the Takeda side and lead to it."

On the other hand, in the middle of Odawara Castle.

Hojo Phantom An, dressed in a monk's robe, drooped with two white eyebrows, leaned on crutches in one hand, and held a letter in the other, quietly looking at the cherry trees in the courtyard, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the other side, the rehmannia Hachiman Hojo Tsusunari, under the guidance of the domestic servant, hurried into the courtyard.

Hojo Tsusunari came behind Hojo Kanan and was about to speak.

Hojo Phantom Nunnery shook his head slowly, leaned over, and said with a smile: "When my father had not yet captured Izu, he spoke to the six samurai who assisted him at Mishima Shrine. ”

"In the past, the two clans of Yuanping jointly established the imperial court, and after Baoyuan, the rebellion of Pingzhi. Genji weakened, and Taira took power. During the reign of the Emperor and the Raising of the Peace, Genji re-emerged. Genji died in three generations, and the Hojo Dynasty from the Taira clan ruled the world, and the nine generations of the Genji died. And the Ashikaga clan from Genji took over the world again. It can be seen that the samurai family's destiny is held by the Genji and Taira clans in turn. ”…,

"Therefore, I, Ise, came from the first Hojo ruling family, and I also inherited this mandate of heaven, and took back the world from the Genji instead of the Taira clan, and then took the power of this samurai."

Hearing Hojo Phantom An's words, Hojo Tsunashi lowered his head and whispered: "It seems that the adults already know the news that Li Xiao has won a great victory in Kitanozhuang City. ”

Hojo Phantom nodded slowly, threw away the letter in his hand, and paused lightly with the cane in his hand, looked at Hojo Tsunade and said, "You said that what the early cloud hall said at the Mishima Shrine back then, is it wrong?" ”

Hojo Tsusunari thought for a while and said: "Back then, Nobunaga received the official position of 'Kami-Sosuke', and Kami-Sosuke was the official position of the first elder of the Taira clan, Heitaka, and it was obviously not the wish of our Hojo family to use the Taira clan to take charge of the samurai. ”

Listening to Hojo Tsunari's words, Hojo Phantom Nunnery smiled hehe, and the two shou eyebrows hung down even longer.

After laughing at the Hojo Phantom Temple, he said solemnly: "Keep looking up, don't do things that exceed your own limits, this famous sentence of the Three Rivers Hall is enough to warn the Imperial Castle Palace." It's also time for all the retainers in the family to recognize their own strength and prepare for peace with Takeda. ”

Hojo Tsunashi was stunned when he heard this, and said: "The war is still deadlocked, and my Hojo family is still undefeated, and now we are talking about peace......

Hojo Phantom turned his head, looked at Hojo Tsunari, and said, "Do you really have to wait until things are completely out of control before making a decision?" ”

Hojo Tsunashi was silent when he heard this.

Hojo Phantom Nunnery stepped forward and said earnestly: "You and I are both old, and we will die in a few years, if you and I die, can there be a capable person in this family who can fight against Takeda Shinfan and Li Xiao?" Can there be a famous general who can compete with Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi? ”

Hearing Hojo Tsunabi's last words, Hojo Tsunaru finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your opinion." ”

"I didn't expect that a hundred years after the Onin Rebellion, the world would still fall into the hands of Genji, so how willing can I wait!"

Speaking of this, Hojo Tsusunari couldn't help but think of the competition with Li Xiaozhi under Musashi Matsuyama Castle back then, and he still hadn't thought of it.

The Ming samurai, who was excellent at spearmanship back then, today actually completely killed the dream of the four generations of Hojo family governors to fight for hegemony. (To be continued.)
