Matsuo Mountain Castle in Mino Buba Prefecture, this is a newly built castle after Endo Naojing was transferred to Sekigahara, and if it is not broken, it will be guarded by retainers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info sat in the new study, and Naokei Endo sat on the side of the desk, holding a letter in his hand, stroking his beard and thinking.

A retainer next to him saw that Naojing seemed to stop thinking, so he asked tentatively: "Lord, what is the letter from the Ministry of Qimu?" ”

Naokei glanced at the retainer, tapped the folding fan in his hand with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Qin's letter first praised me, and then asked about the matter of not breaking the barrier, and finally hoped that the family could send troops to test the attitude of the Saito family and prepare for the future invasion of Mino." ”

The retainer hesitated for a moment, paused for a long time before slowly asking, "My lord, it doesn't seem to be beneficial to my family?" ”

"It's not beneficial, but it's also harmless. In recent years, it is really annoying that Guangzhi and others have mobilized troops to attack and not break through, and I have already had the idea of counterattacking them once, but no one agreed at the beginning of the year, so forget it, now that Ji Qin has proposed, it is exactly what I want, and regardless of the military funds that Ji Qin will give over, a single round is also of great benefit to the main family at this time! ”

"This, but by the command of the lord!"

"Okay, pass the order, mobilize 2,000 troops, and the troops will not break the city!"

"Yes!"

Although it is said that the army will not break the city, but Naojing has no real intention of fighting, it is nothing more than to show his own attitude, show his muscles to the Saito family, and tell the Saito family that the Asai family has freed up their hands and is ready to invade Mino at any time, see what you Saito Ryuxing thinks.

Ji Qin just let Naotsu test it, these things in the back are Naojing himself, Nakatsu when he sent troops, he also asked Asai Nagamasa, Nagamasa is also very supportive of this, in Changzheng's view, after the north and south are basically controlled, it is time to expand to the east and west, but there are generals and three good families in the west, but it is not good to c, then Mino in the east is different, in Longxing is all about pleasure, and the retainers are following Longxing to enjoy or focus on guarding against the Oda family, The Asai family can find a chance to bite off a piece of Mino R.

With a straightforward temptation, you can see if the Saito family really doesn't care about the Asai family.

The idea of Zhijing is very simple, and it is also very clear, as the enemy of the other party, he saw it three days after Zhijing Chen Bing did not break the city, but the request for help has been sent, and Guangzhi has no way.

Bodhi Mountain Castle, Takenaka Hanbei welcomed his father-in-law Ando Mamoru into the city, and after the two sat down, Shou said bluntly: "Banbei, Lord Mitsuji sent a letter asking for help, saying that the Asai family takes Endo Naojing 2,000 troops as the vanguard, and the soldiers will not break the city, I hope I will go to support as soon as possible, and you will go with me this time!" ”

Hanbei smiled slightly, picked up the tea that had just been brewed, and said slowly: "Father-in-law, if you don't break the light rule, you are scared by the Asai family, the Asai family has just experienced two major battles, where is there still the energy to attack the city without breaking the city, I think it's just that Endo Naokei sent troops to vent a mouthful of evil that has been attacked by you for many days!" There's no need to worry, it's just that I'm curious to know if the Broken Light Cure has asked the main family for help, and what is the attitude of the main family? ”

The Bodhi Mountain City of the Bamboo Family lives next to the city of Bu Po and Bu Po Po City, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes over the water problem of the villagers, and the two families will be hostile to each other.

Shou frowned slightly, and sighed: "Four days ago, Endo Naokyo appeared outside the city, and Lord Mitsuji sent a letter of help to us, and the main family thought that they had received it, but there seemed to be no movement. ”

Hanbei smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and kept silent, Shou drank a cup of tea, got up and left, he had already arrived here, although Shou was very convinced of his son-in-law's guess, but what should be done still had to be done.

Half a day later, Ando Mamoru led two thousand reinforcements to arrive at the city, as for the two thousand Endo troops under the city, as early as when they learned the news of the appearance of reinforcements, they retreated, and what Naojing had to do has been perfected, and the rest is the Koga ninja, they will collect all kinds of information, and then organize and summarize it on Nagamasa's table.

After listening to Mitsuji's speculation about Endo's purpose, Mamoru Ando fell silent, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually increased.

"Guangzhi, I must immediately go to Inabayama Castle to meet the lord, Chen said that it is very powerful, you send a message to Bu Quan and Yitie, and let them bring the troops back."

"Good! Be careful yourself, the lord is young after all! ”

"I understand!"

After arranging for his retainers to return with his troops, he went to Inabayama Castle alone. Until he entered Inabayama Castle, he didn't see any reinforcements sent by the lord to the city, and he knew that he was going to suffer, and all the euphemistic advice he had thought about before was left behind, and he ran to the castle tower angrily, ignoring the dissuasion of his attendants and went straight to where Longxing was.

"Lord, why don't you send troops to help and break the city!"

Shou loudly questioned Long Xing, who was lying in the arms of the two maids, Long Xing rolled his eyes, glanced at the song and dance that had stopped because of Shou's arrival, and said unhappily: "It's not Qimu Jiqin, what are you afraid of?" A Naokyo Endo plus Naomasa Asai scared you like this? I can't defend Ximinon, what do you want the three of you to do in Ximinon! ”

Listening to Long Xingman's nonchalant tone, Shou was in a hurry: "My lord, Omi Province is already under Asai Nagamasa, Wakasa Country is also in his hands, and the Asai family is already the biggest threat to the family!" Can't you see it, my lord? ”

"Bastard! The great enemy of the family is the Owari fool Oda Nobunaga, and the rest of them have to swing back, and everything is to resist the Oda family! No more talking! Singing and dancing, go on! ”

Long Xing was also angry, and after scolding, he no longer cared about Ando's defense, and let the song and dance continue, and he kept getting up and down in the maid's arms. Seeing the resurgence of singing and dancing, Shou rushed to his head in anger and ran towards Long Xing, so he grabbed Long Xing from the arms of the maid and scolded him loudly.

As soon as he grabbed Long Xing's collar, he was hit by two handfuls of ribs against his neck and stopped all movements. Long Xing twisted twice, broke free of Shou Cheng's hand, and was very embarrassed for a while, while sorting out his clothes, he said angrily: "What else do you see, pull this old thing out and cut it..."

As soon as the word was cut and half a note was spoken, a person dressed as a retainer on the side shouted urgently: "Slow down, lord!" ”

Then the retainer said in Long Xing's ear: "Lord, Ando Mamoru is the head of the three people in Ximino after all, if he is cut down because of this little thing, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the retainers, it is better to put him back in the northern city under house arrest, so that the lord will not have to see him, and it will not hurt the hearts of the retainers, wouldn't it be good!" ”

Although Long Xing is mediocre and likes to have fun, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, just now it was just because he pulled his collar in public and made ugly remarks, listening to what the retainers said, he also reacted, but on the surface, he ordered angrily: "Throw this old thing back to the Northern City, you are not allowed to go out of the Northern City for a single step in this life, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

After that, he lost his interest, got up and went back to the room to find the maid, and he didn't care how Ando Mamoru behind him shouted.
