Sasa Narumasa was lying on his stomach, but he was asked to raise his head, he was on all fours, his head was raised high, like a turtle that had been carrying a heavy shell.

The young samurai on the other side squinted his slender eyes and looked at Cheng Zheng, and many doubts flashed in his heart.

"Tell me something."

"Hah! The villain was originally a priest in this area, and although he had already heard of the name of Daisuke-sama of Jibe, he had always longed for it, but he was unable to leave because he needed to serve the shrine. A few days ago, I heard that the Imagawa family had raised troops to go to Luo, and the villain was naturally overjoyed! The villain heard that Tokaido-"

"Getting to the point!"

Naruma rambled for a long time, choking on Imagawa Yoshimoto's words.

Therefore, he smiled embarrassedly and said again:

"Last night, several wealthy clans under the command of the Oda clan sent samurai to find me, asking me to bring the elders of the local village to greet Lord Jibu and reward the army. Therefore, behind me, in addition to the local products of Hongo, there are also money donated by various wealthy families, so please accept it with a smile. ”

Let's say it, Cheng Zheng took out the letter that had already been covered with heat from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Yi Yuan took it quietly, and after a cursory browsing, he knew it in his heart. He was still wondering why the wealthy clans of Owari would find a priest to be a messenger of gifts.

But Cheng Zheng has already explained the matter clearly in a few words, although his status is humble, he is not arrogant because of this, but it makes Yiyuan feel good.

"I saw in the letter that among the joint names of these Owari wealthy families, there is the name of Sasa Narumasa."

Yi Yuan's eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon stared at Cheng Zheng's eyes, and he said in a suspicious tone:

"For the sake of Nobunaga, the Sasa family has already killed Sasa Morimasa and Sasa Sunsuke, and I heard that the lord of Hira Castle is also a rare loyal man, and this Sasa Seimasa...... was originally a close confidant of Oda Nobunaga, why did he appear on this list? ”

Cheng Zheng was alert in his heart, so he said the words he had prepared for a long time:

"Sasa Nari Masa's original service to Nobunaga is more trusted than Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneko. But Narumasa this person attaches great importance to family affection, and he doesn't care very much about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and last year Oda Nobunaga was to wear down the spirit of the Shin march, and the Sasa family was an abandoned son, and Naruma's father and brother were killed in this battle, so Sasa Naruma had a grudge, and had already returned to Hira Castle to break off diplomatic relations with Nobunaga. There is a saying that good birds choose trees to perch on, and virtuous ministers choose their masters to do things, and a samurai with outstanding abilities like Sasa Naruma naturally wants to serve under the command of Lord Jibu. ”

This remark not only explained the reason why Sasa Narumasa betrayed Oda Nobunaga, but also slapped the horse silently, which made Yoshimoto listen very comfortably.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the three countries of Tokaido and known as the "first bow of the Kaido", Imagawa Yoshimoto was not so easy to deceive.

Yiyuan listened to Chengzheng's words, just smiled slightly, and then asked:

"Just now, you told me, you called Ikari Yuandu?"

"Hay! The villain's grandfather was originally a craftsman in the Iwami silver mine, and because of his superb skills, he was given a ikari as a Miao character, and later the villain moved to Owari with his father, and worshiped Takeuchi Hataro of Kumawakanomiya as a teacher, and became a priest of Kumawakanomiya. ”

"Hmm...... It's very well prepared, the origin and inheritance of the Miao character are there, but I didn't ask you about these things. ”

Listening to Imagawa Yoshimoto's slow tone, Sasa Narumasa's heart suddenly cooled.

"Don't you think it's too deliberate for you to confess these things that I haven't asked at all?"

Cheng Zheng's heart beat suddenly, knowing that his disguise had been seen through by Yi Yuan.

"Sa...... Who are you? ”

Yoshimoto's gaze became gentle, looking at Sasa Seimasa like a child playing in front of the porch, and his tone of voice became gentle, for fear of scaring the other party.

"Hataro Takeuchi, I know, he is actually a businessman rather than a priest, and he is a pawn of my teacher, Yukisai, in Owari Fuki. Therefore, I know that there is no one named Ikari Motodo in Xiong Ruogong...... You, could it be Zuo Zuo Chengzheng? ”

Cheng Zheng was shocked, his body was tense, and he immediately pressed his right hand on his waist, and was about to draw out his short sword to fight Yi Yuan to the death, but an elite flag warrior had already stopped Cheng Zheng with a spear.

They immediately set up Cheng Zheng and dragged him five steps away from Yi Yuan, although Cheng Zheng was shocked in his heart, he also knew that he had fallen into Yi Yuan's palm, and he had already made a knife and I was a fish, so he didn't have too much of an overreaction, but just asked puzzled:

"I may not be perfect in disguise, but how can you tell that I am Sasa Seimasa?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Yi Yuan's slender Dan Feng's eyes, and he said with a smile:

"I only know that Ikari Motodu is fake, as for Sasa Chengmasa...... I'm not sure, I'm lying to you! ”

Sasa Chengzheng's face finally showed a look of frustration, he has always been a little clever, and he thinks he has a plan, and it's okay to deal with ordinary little minions, who knew that he met the old and spicy Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he was defeated just by looking at him.

Thinking of the strategies he had painstakingly planned, he ended in failure in dealing with Yoshimoto Imagawa, a historical loser, so wouldn't he be even more defeated?

At this moment, suddenly a centipede passed on the latest information:

"Oda Nobunaga, we have marched to Zhizenshoji Temple!"

At the same time, the two people who stayed behind in Atsuta Shrine, Sasa Masaji and Chiaki Shiro, also received the news of Nobunaga's arrival at Zenshoji Temple.

Masaji looked at the simple map drawn on the ground again, and his heart was even more worried.

In his opinion, Oda Nobunaga was about to enter the encirclement of the Imagawa army at this time, and with the meager strength of 2,000 people in Nobunaga's hands, he was afraid that he would be defeated by the Imagawa army in just one face.

What exactly was Nobunaga looking for?

In the eyes of ordinary people, Nobunaga's march to the southeast after regaining the support of the Atsuta people was tantamount to a sheep's mouth.

However, Sasa Masaji and Chiakishiro knew that with conventional warfare, whether it was a cage castle or a battle on the border between the two countries, Oda Nobunaga had no chance of winning.

Nobunaga's only chance of victory was to kill Yoshimoto in a surprise attack.

If Yoshimoto had been killed with a single sentence, the Imagawa clan's army would naturally collapse, and Nobunaga would have won an actual victory despite his heavy losses.

Nobunaga went to Zenshoji Temple undoubtedly to find traces of Yoshimoto's main team.

Because, Zenshoji Temple is the highest stronghold of this generation except for Narumi Castle!

After arriving at Zenshoji Temple, Nobunaga would look for the location of Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team, and then take the avenue or the path to Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp.

It's just that in this way, Nobunaga also took the initiative to get into the big net laid by Yoshimoto.

Just because after Nobunaga leaves Zenshoji Temple, Okabe Motoshinji in Narumi Castle in the northwest of the battlefield, Asahina Tai Chaosei and Matsudaira Motoyasushi in the southwest of the battlefield, and Yoshimoto Honjin from the east will ...... Synchronously surround Nobunaga!

Masaji Sasa, who figured this out in Atsuta, angrily slammed his fist on the porch of the shrine, making a loud bang.

"No! We must not sit idly by and watch our lord be surrounded and killed! ”

"We ...... Action must be taken! ”
