20 Tempt you to rebel
Hineno Hiroshi (red frame) is dead.
Of course, he heard Michizo's words, and he also saw Michizo Saito charging with a spear in his hand, but he thought that it was impossible for a frail old man like Michizo Saito to pose any threat to him.
But he apparently forgot one thing - Saito Michizo was Mino Michizo's most famous marksmanship back then.
In this way, Saito Michizo killed Hineno Hiroshi (red frame) with a single blow, and a samurai approached him and cut off his head, picked it up with a gun and ran around.
After the death of Hineno Hiroshi (red frame), his military camp collapsed.
Staring at the rout fleeing to the Yoshiryu base camp, Dosan stopped the pursuit of his men.
"Poor Kou Mo chase, now is not the time for love."
"The whole army, cross the river and move to Heshan!"
Hineno Hiroshi (red frame) was on fire in his camp, but it sent chills down the hearts of the rebel generals.
Although the pit viper is old, Yu Wei is still there.
Early the next morning, Saito Yoshiryu again sent troops to attack Osan Castle.
- He took over an empty city.
In the afternoon, Yoshilong led his army to set up a formation on the north bank of the Nagara River.
Like a tanuki always playing with each other before biting a mouse to death, Saito Yoshiryu was in no hurry to cross the river and attack Michisan's position.
But...... Almost the entire wealthy family of Mino has chosen to follow Saito Yoshiryu instead of Saito Michizo, what is Yoshiryu waiting for?
He, who are you waiting for?
Although Sasa Narimasa couldn't be sure who Yoshiryu was waiting for, Narumasa himself wanted to have wings and fly to the Nagara River.
At the same time, Narumasa also had a great deal of confidence in speculating that Yoshiryu might be waiting for Nobunaga's reinforcements.
In the face of Saito Michizo's letters asking for help one after another, Oda Nobunaga did send troops out of battle.
Contrary to most people's expectations, Oda Nobunaga even personally led a group of elite troops from Kiyoshu Castle and headed northwest to Tomitaso on the border of Owari Province on the banks of the Kiso River.
It was only twenty or thirty miles from Tomitanoso to Nagara, but Nobunaga stopped here.
Although the people of Owari and Mino were already familiar with the harmonious relationship between Michizo and Nobunaga, Nobunaga actually led an army to help, which made the samurai of the Oda clan impassioned and convinced them that they were loyal to a righteous general.
Almost no one smelled the conspiracy from Nobunaga's stay at Tomitaso, except for Sasa Narimasa.
After five days in a row, the samurai of the Oda clan began to discuss, and some of them dared to ask Nobunaga when he would cross the river to rescue Michizo Saito.
Sasa Naimasa finally understood that Nobunaga would never be able to cross the river to the battlefield of Nagaragawa.
Although it was only across the river from Tsuruyama, where Saito Michizo was stationed, Nobunaga had decided not to help.
The phalanx of the rebels leaned one by one, forming a black python on the north bank of the Nagara River.
The three armies of the Dao were coiled on the low crane mountain, like a coiled pit viper.
Python vs. pit viper, the result of this battle, everyone already knows in their hearts, but how the python trapped the pit viper, and what kind of dying counterattack the pit viper will launch, still makes this battle full of variables.
In the rebel formation, the conch sounded again.
Yoshilong's close retainers, Takewaist Michichen, Nagai Michikatsu, and Komaki Genta, led their headquarters to kill on the other side of the river.
Saito Yoshiryu, who was north of the Nagara River, saw that Nobunaga never took the bait, and finally lost his patience and ordered his subordinates to cross the river and attack!
At the same time, Oda Nobuyuki, who was far away in Suemori Castle, once again gathered his retainers.
Below the confident line, the retainers led by Lin Xiuzhen and Shibata Katsuya are divided into left and right, as orderly and majestic.
This time, they still want to discuss the question of whether to send troops against Nobunaga.
"My lord! Nobunaga was still stranded on the Kiso River at this time, and our army should take advantage of this opportunity to capture Cheongshu in one go, and Nobunaga would become a lost dog, and he would be killed and the country destroyed. ”
Lin Xiuzhen's younger brother Lin Tonggu once again begged for battle.
In fact, he had said this countless times in the past few days, and Nobuyuki almost heard a calloon in his ears.
Of course, there are people who are-for-tat with Lin Tonggu, and those old ministers strongly advise Xinxing to be "cautious, and then cautious".
Ever since Oda Nobunaga left Kiyoshu Castle with his troops, the two groups of people have quarreled in Nobuyuki's ears, and such a meeting is held once a day, and they also quarrel once a day.
Of course, the daily quarrels were fruitless.
Lin Xiuzhen, as the chief family elder, has been looking forward and backward and can't make up her mind, and Shibata Katsuya, as the chief general, is silent and silent.
"Hayashi Watari Mamoru and Shibata repair, what do you think?"
Seeing that the two people who relied on the most were still silent, Xinxing simply took the initiative to ask.
"This ...... The old minister thought ...... Nobunaga, if you do many acts of injustice, you will be killed...... The lord can properly march into Cheongju, but he must guard against Nobunaga's deception, and if he misses the blow, it is better to retreat to Suemori early. ”
Lin Xiuzhen hesitated and said such a plan for a long time.
This made Oda Nobuyuki dumbfounded, although he has always claimed to be the legitimate heir of his father, but rebellion is rebellion, and once the anti-flag is torn off, then there will be an endless situation between him and Nobunaga.
In this case, where is there any reason to retreat if you miss a blow?
Is rebellion also a trick?
Nobuyuki sighed and turned his gaze to Shibata Katsuie.
It took a long time for Katsuya to react, and he seemed a little sluggish, and he maintained a frowning and contemplative look from the beginning of the meeting, which also made Nobuyuki expect more from him.
"My lord, do you think you can see through Nobunaga?"
Singer finally spoke, but he didn't answer the rhetorical question, and the question was quite tricky, which made Nobuyuki a little stunned.
Did he see through Nobunaga?
Nobuyuki had always been known for his well-behaved and humble manners in the Oda family, and he gained great prestige as a result, enjoying the support of the vast majority of his retainers, while his brother Nobunaga was the opposite.
If Sasa Narumasa and Maeda Keiji are the odd charmers of Owari, then Oda Nobunaga can be said to be the ancestor of the Owari dumpers.
All the absurdity and arrogance of that group of teenagers are all self-confidence.
For more than ten years, Oda Nobunaga had his chest bare, and he hung a two, three, or four bags around his waist, containing some messy things, he liked to fly eagles and horses, and often stayed at a good house at night, stealing chickens and dogs, and was a complete evil boy.
But...... Is this Oda Nobunaga?
Why did both his father, Nobuhide and Masahide Hirate, have high hopes for Nobunaga?
Why did Sasa Narumasa and Maeda Toshiya choose to follow Nobunaga?
Why did even Mino Viper Saito Michizo say, "My son can only lead the horse for you in the future"?
Nobuyuki didn't understand.
If you don't understand, you can't see through.
"I can't see through it...... I can't see through him. ”
Seeing this shape, the worry in Shibata Katsuie's eyes became even stronger.
"I can't see through it either...... But I believe that Nobunaga will never be stupid to fight a battle that is bound to be lost, Saito Michizo is already a mortal situation, and Nobunaga will never lose a single soldier for him! ”
Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand what the singer meant.
That is to say...... Nobunaga led the army to rescue Michizo, which was simply a trap! ”
Yes?
Nobuyuki couldn't help but gasp.
"As long as we are blocked by Kiyoshu Castle, Nobunaga will rush back from Tomita within a day and join the defenders of the castle...... This is simply tempting you to rebel! ”
