, Chapter 305 captures the county

Inabayama Castle, in a temporary cleaned side hall.

Oda Nobunaga stood on the windowsill looking down at the scenery at the foot of Mt. Inaba, while Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, Mori Kosei, Ikeda Tsuneko, Takigawa Kazuki, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Maeda Toshiie, and other Oda generals all stood behind Nobunaga with a look of high spirits on their faces.

At present, the Oda family has captured Inabayama Castle, and the three most powerful people in Nishimino have also surrendered, and now the Oda family has officially entered the jurisdiction of Mino and realized the unity of Noo.

As the so-called Longwang Shu and the thick tail are united, the next step of the Oda family is self-evident, that is, Shangluo

And now the Miyoshi family, who now controls, since the Miyoshi three people conspired to kill General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Matsunaga Shu infighting, under the fierce fighting on both sides, the head of the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, even had to move to the city for refuge, the decline of the Miyoshi family has become a foregone conclusion, and it is no longer the spirit of the nine and a half countries under the jurisdiction of Miyoshi Nagakei when he was alive, and the world is prosperous.

The Miyoshi family in Kinai is weak, and the former powerful daimyo Rokkaku family in Minami Omi, since the death of the former head of the family, Rokkaku Jorai, has fallen into a situation where the head of the family is unknown, and the head of the family has its own affairs. Now the Asai family, which was originally subordinate to the Rokkaku family, has also formed an alliance with the Oda family, and the Rokkaku family is caught in a situation of attacking from two sides.

And Ise, which is on the side of the couple, is now even more scattered, with many large and small wealthy families, and there is no strong leader, let alone cause any trouble to the Oda family.

On the other hand, the situation of the Oda family was very good, and after the unification of Nooo, the forces in the west, whether it was Miyoshi, Rokkaku, or Hokjo, were no longer rivals of the Oda family, and in the east, in May this year, Nobunaga married his eldest daughter Tokuhime to Matsudaira Nobuyasu, the sister-in-law of Tokugawa Ieyasu, further consolidating the Cheongshu Alliance.

Now that the Tokugawa family has completed the great cause of unifying Mikawa and has also captured nearly half of the country of Togae, it is enough to fight against the Imagawa family, who have a great enmity with the Oda family, and protect the flank of Owari, so there is no need for the Oda family to worry about the enemy situation on the Suruga side.

As for the Takeda family, although they also have the power of Kamiraku, Danshi is now in the disadvantageous situation surrounded by the three strong forces of Uesugi, Imagawa, and Hojo, and he is unable to withdraw from it to compete with Nobunaga.

Moreover, now that Takeda and Oda are in an alliance, each with its own tasks that must be accomplished at the moment, the alliance between the two countries will be quite solid for a few years.

At this time, news also came out from the Takeda family, Takeda Katsuyori's wife, Mrs>. Toyama, was about to give birth, and if she gave birth to a baby boy, she would not only be recognized as a son-in-law by Takeda Katsuyori, but also inherit the Takeda family governor in the future.

The marriage between Takeda Katsuyori and Lady Toyama > was the guarantee of the alliance between Oda and Takeda, so the birth of Toyama could further deepen the relationship between Takeda Oda.

As soon as the Takeda family and the Imagawa family threaten, the Oda family can concentrate all Liliang and concentrate on Kamiluo, and have nothing else to worry about.

So for a while, many people of insight have foreseen the world's most promising Shangluo master, Yijing gradually leaned towards Oda Nobunaga, the wind and clouds of Owari.

Only now the Oda family lacks only one of the names of Shangluo.

Therefore, all the generals of the Oda family were in high spirits, as if the world was in their hands at this moment.

Looking at Oda Nobunaga's complacent ambition, all the generals are looking forward to the moment when the Oda family finally captures Mino after seven years of fighting, what can Oda Nobunaga say here is inspiring and far-sighted, which will have the effect of boosting morale and laying an upward tone for the capture of Inabayama Castle and Mino Province this time.

At this time, Nobunaga finally turned around, and his eyes like eagles swept towards the retainers of the Oda family present.

Forced by Nobunaga's gaze, all the retainers subconsciously bowed their heads, knelt down neatly and said, "Congratulations to the lord for dominating Minono." ”

Oda Nobunaga nodded slightly, walked to the main seat and sat on his knees, then nodded his head and said, "You have worked hard. ”

"Oh"

All the retainers raised their heads and looked at Nobunaga.

Nobunaga put down his horsewhip and said with his hands on his chest, "After seven years of hard fighting, my Oda family has finally taken over the country of Mino. Danshi now looks back and looks at this Inabayama Castle and this Mino country again, and he thinks that Mino Country is nothing more than that."

Listening to Nobunaga's words, all the generals were shocked, thinking that they had fought for seven years to defeat Mino, but in Nobunaga's mouth, it became nothing more than that. …,

However, everyone also knows that this lord can't think logically and judge by normal people, so he can only lower his head for a while.

"It's nothing remarkable," Oda Nobunaga repeated, "fifty years in the world, seven years in poverty, and now at the moment of taking Mino, it's just that, Danshi doesn't have Mino, and I, Nobunaga, are nothing, only here, can my Oda family have the strength to fight against Takeda, Uesugi, Hojo, Miyoshi and other powerful countries in the world." ”

"My goal is not just Mino as a country, so I ask you to continue your efforts."

After saying that, Oda Nobunaga made an unexpected gesture and bowed to the retainers.

All the retainers were enthusiastic, and they also bowed down and said: "The retainers will serve to die"

After that, the ashigaru people served sake and food, and a banquet was held here to celebrate the capture of Mino.

At this time, a samurai with a small flag came to the side hall in a panic, reported in front of Oda Nobunaga, and said, "My lord, the envoy of Ando Igamamoru of the Mino Trio is asking to see you outside. ”

On the side, the number one general of the Oda family, who was toasting Oda Nobunaga, Shibata Katsuie, was pouring a glass of wine into it, and when he heard this, he wiped the wine stain on his lips with his hand, and said unhappily: "Mino Yijing Pingding, Inaba Ryotsu, family Naomoto, Bu Po Koji, Sato Tadano, Toyama Renjing and other Mino wealthy family heads have come to congratulate, why is he delayed, isn't it that he is not convinced that my Oda family has entered Mino?" ”。

Nobunaga listened to Shibata Katsuie's words, waved his hand, and said, "Quan Liu, there is no need to say more, Ando has other important matters, let the Ando family envoy come in." ”

Soon after, the messenger of Ando Morunori entered the main hall, walked to the end of the hall, and bowed down in front of Nobunaga with a pop.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of many people in the palace.

Nobunaga asked slightly unpleasantly, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The envoy of the Ando family said: "Back to His Royal Highness, I, the Ando Army and the wealthy families of Mino, were defeated by Li Xiao, and the county has now been captured by the Takeda family. ”

"What?" Shibata Katsuya couldn't help but say at the moment, "How could the Takeda family invade Mino?" ”

Shibata Katsuie realized that he had lost his temper in front of Nobunaga and immediately apologized.

Oda Nobunaga has always been calm since he heard the news, and said: "Ando is the head of the three Mino people, and he is a general who has always been able to fight in battle, and the defeat to Li Xiao is really beyond my expectations. It seems that I underestimate this person, this Li Xiao can be called the first fierce general in the Takeda family under Xinxuan, and he should not be underestimated. ”

Shibata Katsuya saw Nobunaga praising Li Xiao like this, and he was not convinced at the moment, and said: "Is the first fierce general of the Takeda family?" I'm going to give it a try, I beg me to crusade against the county, I will capture this Li Xiaosheng in front of the lord, and see how brave he is? ”

"Bastard, are you self-righteous?".

After scolding, Oda Nobunaga looked at the courtiers who were still laughing and celebrating at the banquet, and suddenly kicked over the wooden table full of dishes in front of him.

Everyone was puzzled by Oda Nobunaga's sudden move.

Oda Nobunaga looked at Shibata and scolded: "What's so proud, after capturing Mino, do you think that the world is invincible?" Takeda, Uesugi which one can be easy opponents. The goal of my Oda family is to go to Raku, Kyoto, not to a corner of the gunjo district. ”

After scolding Shibata, Nobunaga looked at the stunned retainers and said, "What's the matter, is there anything you don't like?" Keep singing and dancing. ”

The retainers looked at each other, and could only continue to drink, and the laughter echoed in the side hall again.

Oda Nobunaga looked at Shibata and said, "That's how you are a human being, you have to laugh at any time, and you can cry at any time." Today we can take Minon, and he may also be defeated one day, wasn't it the same when Imagawa Yoshimoto was like that? ”。

Shibata Katsuya hurriedly responded, "Yes, lord." ”

Oda Nobunaga lowered his tone and said, "Gonroku, you and I are both Owari people, what is Owari?" With Kyoto to the east and the countryside to the west, we don't want to fight for Kyoto, the land of the elite, and call the world, but follow the example of Takeda Uesugi and fight for it in the Kanto region, isn't it beautiful? ”。

Shibata Katsuya said, "Oh, my lord, I understand, at present, the family is still all about maintaining the relationship with the Takeda family, so that they can concentrate on the affairs of Shangluo. ”

"That's right," Oda Nobunaga nodded, and said, "As for the affairs of the prefecture, although it makes me very uncomfortable, but one day I will ask the Takeda family for huilai, and to do great things need to take a long-term view, regardless of the immediate gains and losses, Shingen will bring it to you."

Mino, Hachiman-jo, gun.

After defeating the Ando family's coalition forces, Hachiman Castle in the county and Higashidenyama Castle are now in the hands of Li Xiaozhi.

After Li Xiao seized the city, the first thing he immediately had to do was to play the banner of Dong Changyao.

Let him enter the county of Hachiman Castle to signify the return of the Toshi clan to the county, and the Takeda family's move to send troops to the county this time is precisely to revive the name of the Toshi family, which is a legitimate move.

After that, Li Xiao sent Qi Benbei and Shengang Bei to coerce the rest of the local small wealthy clans in the county to subdue.

Endo Yinjun, the lord of Kigoshi Castle in the county, is the brother of Keritaka Endo, a branch of the Endo family, and after the clan seized the castle in the county, Endo Yinjun gradually became independent.

After Endo Morishu died in battle, Endo Yinjun also sent troops to Hachiman Castle to seize the family business of the Zong family, but in the end he did not succeed.

This time Li Xiao attacked the county, he maintained a neutral momentum, and now Endo Yinjun saw that the Takeda family had a foothold in the county, so he also officially subdued the Takeda family under the condition of maintaining the security of his territory.

At this point, Li Xiao has pocketed the entire land of Mino County, the territory of 27,000 stones, and has successfully infiltrated the power of the Takeda family into Mino.
