Since this trip to Ishiyama Honganji will unite the Li family fleet of the iceberg big cat sister Li Huamei, Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxie are not prepared to rush out as usual.

After deliberation by Wang Tianxi, Nobuko Oda, and Li Huamei, the official date of the battle was set on September 4, that is, two weeks later.

Coincidentally, the Oda Family's General Military Mobilization Conference was held on August 21, and on the same day, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the great fox of Yoshiaki, was also in the Imperial Pavilion in Awaji to discuss strategies against the Oda family with Mori Terumoto, the head of the Mori family in Aki Province, the current head of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Honganji Hide, the retainer of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the leader of the Maori Navy, Kodama Yoshihide, the leader of the Murakami Navy, and the leaders of the Noshima Navy, and the leaders of the Kurishima Navy.

Interestingly, Wang Tianxian and Oda Nobuko had no idea that when they convened a military mobilization, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also plotting.

Otherwise, Nobuko Oda, who likes to play surprise attacks the most, will definitely take advantage of the great opportunity of Honganji Xianru's absence in her lair to launch a surprise attack on Ishiyama Honganji.

As for Wang Tianxie, he will definitely send ninjas and the like, or ninjas and the like, and ninjas and the like, to assassinate the other party while Honganji is returning to his lair.

From this point, it is obvious that the two have a positive and negative temperament.

Of course, what Wang Tianxie had to complain about was that if it was Sister Uesugi of Echigo Country, she would definitely wait until Honganji Xianru returned to her lair before sending a messenger to send a war letter to the other party, putting on a posture of being extremely righteous and noble.

Honganji Xianru's life was actually not very good, when he secretly returned to his old nest from Awaji Ishiyama Honganji, looking at the temple in front of him, he suddenly felt a feeling of wow cool wow cool in his heart.

Honganji Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are gurgling springs flowing down all around. There is also a strong wall guarding the temple.

More than 100 years ago, the main reason why the 8th Honganji Temple's Dharma Master, Honganji Renru, built this Ishiyama Honganji Imperial Workshop was to provide a place for believers to take refuge in the turbulent times.

Because of this, this Ishiyama Honganji Temple not only has an elegant interior scenery and is very close to nature, but the exterior design is mainly sturdy. Make sure it becomes an impenetrable city of Buddhism.

"Lai Lian, how many firearms do we have now?" Honganji finally turned his head to look at the retainer beside him, and asked in a soft voice.

"Your Highness, there are about 3,000 iron cannons, eight large barrels, and in addition to the Miyoshi Party, there are also Nerai, Zaga, Yukawa, Okukii, etc., with a total of about 27,000 or 8,000 people." Shimoma Yori, who was standing next to Honganji Temple, hurriedly replied.

He is worthy of being called the elder of the Honganji family's "Shimoma Sanfang Official" along with Shimoma Yorizhao and Shimoma Nakataka, and he has a thorough grasp of the current situation in his family.

For the Oda family, Shimoma Yoriren has an indescribable sense of disgust and shame.

He will never forget his time at the Nagashima Honganji branch. Under the bombardment of the Oda family, there is no power to fight back, and even a trace of resistance cannot be stopped.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw that the momentum was not good, he hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to carry a thick reed cat into the bottom of the Kiso River, otherwise he would definitely be killed by the Oda family's big barrel and iron cannon like all the monks and Buddhists of the Nagashima Honganji Branch.

Shimoma Yoriren will never forget the moment when he sat on the river on the west bank of the Kiso River with a dead face on his face, looking at the Honganji branch of Nagashima that had become a ruin.

Honganji Xianru nodded after listening to the words of Yoriyo Shimo, turned around and walked into the main hall.

It didn't take long for the bell of the general mobilization of the war to be heard in Honganji.

When the eldest son of Honganji Xianru, Honganji Kyoru, walked into the main hall with a group of Honganji officials, monks and soldiers. What caught my eye was Honganji Shōru and Shimoma Ryū sitting very seriously at the end of the main hall.

The Honganji sect knew that his father was invited by the shogun to go to the Imperial Pavilion in Awaji to discuss the crusade against the Oda family. Therefore. When he saw his father putting on such a cautious look, his heart suddenly warmed.

Behind him, more than a dozen Honganji officials, such as Shimoma Nakataka, and Kii miscellaneous goods leaders such as Saga Sunichi, thought he didn't want to pay attention to what he thought, but he himself knew very well that he hated the Oda family in his heart.

No, strictly speaking, it is a hatred for Wang Tianxie, the "enemy of the Buddha" and the "silver" of life.

Hawkers, in this troubled times of the Warring States. As we all know, monks can get married, they can also have sex with nuns, and they can also carry out all kinds of undisciplined behaviors like this and ——、 and that kind of beep.

In the 16th century, the Imperial Workshop of Mt. Hiei was filled with a large number of such nuns.

Most of these nuns are girls from poor families, and their families can't support them anymore and they are sent to the former "Buddhist Holy Land" of Mount Hiei since childhood.

And the future heir of the Honganji sect such as this Shishan Honganji has always been a sect after all, and it has not been long since he was served. It's still an old-fashioned Zhengtai with strong blood.

Therefore, whenever he couldn't hold back his desires, he would go to Mt. Hiei to vent in the name of preaching. After this back and forth, he naturally ate the marrow and spread the marriage, and naturally became a frequent visitor to Mt. Hiei.

As a result, Wang Tianxie burned down the "holy land of Buddhism" in Biei Mountain, and burned and beheaded all the monks, monks, and nuns inside.

When the Honganji Sect heard the news that the nuns who usually served him with a good mind and a relaxed heart were all made into a barbecue by Wang Tianxie, not to mention how much pain it felt in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Nagashima Honganji Temple between Owari and Ise was destroyed, the Oda family completely took control of Echizen, and Kai's tiger Takeda Harunobu was defeated at the hands of Oda, the Tokugawa coalition, and Echigo's dragon girl...... The next target of the ghost of the Oda family must be my Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and it seems that my Honsho is already facing a life-and-death situation. It wasn't until everyone sat down in their seats that Honganji finally spoke in a very solemn tone.

Not only did his words not cause much commotion among everyone present, but everyone seemed very calm.

After all, everyone present was already mentally prepared for the fact that Wang Tianxie, who had the title of "enemy of the Buddha" of the Oda family, might attack Stone Mountain in the near future.

Moreover, like Honganji's inner thoughts, they also believed that with the strength of Honganji's nearly 30,000 monks and soldiers, with the help of the special geographical environment of Ishiyama, it would be difficult to defeat the Oda family, but it would definitely be more than enough to defend against the Oda family's attack.

"Last week, Lord Ben was invited by the shogun to Awaji to discuss strategy against the Oda family. Thankfully, Aki Maori Terumoto has promised to help me in terms of military rations. Honganji Kanru expressed great satisfaction with the reaction of everyone present and continued.

"The question is...... Even so, we are not necessarily sure of victory. Honganji Xianru looked at everyone present with a little concern.

His tone was so solemn that everyone present involuntarily straightened their backs and sat upright.

"That Wang Tianxie will definitely come out of the nest and head straight for us, and it is likely that he will adopt a blockade strategy to surround Shishan with a large army and cut off external communications, so that everything will be over." Honganji Shinru continued.

Of course, that's definitely not what he thinks in his heart.

Seeing that the retainers present had changed from a slightly lazy attitude to a serious one, the corners of his mouth also curled.

"Father, even then we have to fight back strongly, if we give in like this, we will really be ashamed of those disciples who died tragically on Long Island!" Honganji Kyoru suddenly interjected.

"Moreover, this is an extraordinary event, and it is best to respond to it in an unusual way. In any case, we must win against the Oda family. Honganji continued to speak.

Of course, he wouldn't stand up and say anything like avenge the beautiful nuns of Mt. Hiei, even though he knew that most of the people here had enjoyed and comforted Mt. Hiei as much as they were.

After listening to the words of his eldest son, Honganji Xianru's eyes involuntarily flashed with a gleam.

"Jiaoru, since you say that, what do you think is an unusual method?" Honganji Xianru looked at his son and finally showed a smile.

"Father, let's make an alliance with the dragon girl of Echigo Province! As long as His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Shogun, My Honganji, the Mori family, and even the Takeda Harunobu come forward together, with the strange righteousness of that dragon girl, I will definitely agree. Honganji Kyoru suddenly clapped his hands, and said something that made everyone present stunned, and then whispered.

"In this way, we can unite with His Royal Highness Mori in the Kingdom of An Yi to launch a surprise attack on Azuchi Castle by three routes, east, west, and north!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he clenched his hands into fists and said with his eyes shining.

Of course, if he knew that Sister Esugugi of Echigo Province had already formed an alliance with the Oda family; The Uesugi family and the Takeda family fought the fourth Kawanakajima battle not long ago, and if the Oda family led by Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko participated in it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so proud.

"The main hall, the teaching is reasonable, since Takeda Harunobu has failed twice in a row, Echigo Province is just taking advantage of the situation, and with the assistance of the Uesugi family, the ghost of the Oda family is not to be afraid at all." After listening to the words of Honganji Jiru, Shimoma Ryan immediately nodded and agreed.

"Moreover, although we have declared that the dragon girl to be the enemy of the Kaga Ichijo sect and the Noto Ichijo sect, as long as we can get the Uesugi family to join our ranks, this is a matter of face...... Everybody gets the idea. Shimoma continued as he shrugged his shoulders.

After listening to what he said, they all laughed. (To be continued......)
