"You'll soon succeed to the throne, and you'll understand when you're done with the barrel. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Gao Xianda still remembers what Shimada Hanzo said to him.

In other words, after this sneak attack, Imagawa Yoshimoto will die.

"Bastard, he really got it right." Gao Xianda said secretly, "This damn plot kills!" ”

He was skeptical, but now it seems that it has come true.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is indeed dead.

Gao Xianda can only plan for the succession of the family governor.

So far, he has only found a ninja trio in this dungeon, and he doesn't really want to have a Raushiko ninjutsu duel with Hattori Hanzo. The objectives of the other two groups are very important.

"Instead of hiding in the shadows to look for them and let them complete their mission, it is better for me to stand in the light and let them come to me." Gao Xianda thought, "Prepare enough soldiers and horses to fulfill Imagawa Yoshimoto's last wish." If you succeed in Kamiraku, whether it's a samurai or a ninja, you have to listen to me. and not let them not come out. ”

In this case, Gao Xianda can no longer play the role of the gentleman who eats, drinks and has fun, and has to start preparing for becoming a person of the world.

Until then, he had to succeed smoothly. And if you want to become a family governor, the most important thing is to win people's hearts. To win people's hearts, we must show our attitude.

Although the Imagawa family lost in a battle, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was also righteous, it did not mean that the Imagawa family was defeated.

Even if only a few thousand people remained in the Imagawa family's 20,000-strong army, they were still more powerful than Oda Nobunaga. Moreover, the cities of the Oda family have all been taken by Gao Xianda. The army of the Oda family is now surrounded by the castle of the Imagawa family, and there is nowhere to go.

Far from shrinking, the Imagawa family's territory has become larger than before. In such a situation, even if the forces are not accumulated so quickly, at least the forces do not have to be small before Shangluo.

But these castle lords of Mikawa and Enoe are not easy to fool, and if they feel that the Imagawa family is no longer strong, they are likely to become independent from the Imagawa family. Coxianda must show its strength.

Of course, it's better to take Oda Nobunaga.

So Gao Xianda himself changed into a filial piety uniform, and ordered all his soldiers to tie white cloth belts on their heads and bodies, and held a memorial service in Qingzhou City.

Naturally, Okabe Motonobu also heard the news of the murder of Imagawa Yoshimoto. He was now more and more sure that Gao Xianda had the ability to appoint himself as a family elder or even a city lord. As the closest person to the next head of the family, if he does a good job of supporting him, he will definitely have a very promising future.

Therefore, he was very glad that he followed Gao Xianda to attack Qingzhou City, and now he also said that he was obedient to Gao Xianda.

Naturally, he used enough energy to handle this white matter. From setting up the mourning hall to buying goods, everyone in the city, except for the soldiers on duty, must be present.

But this time it frightened all the families of the retainers of the Oda family.

At this memorial service, it is just enough to let people with status come to participate, why do so many soldiers also participate? And heavily armed soldiers with spears!

Because of the limited space, the soldiers did not line up neatly, but stood loosely on the perimeter, looking as if they were surrounded.

These family members inevitably thought: Oda Nobunaga killed Imagawa Yoshimoto, that is, the real father of the Imagawa clan, and his father, brother, husband and other military generals must have been involved. They can also be regarded as one of the murderers who indirectly killed Imagawa Yoshimoto. Gao Xianda doesn't want to take revenge by cutting himself, right?

So at the memorial service, everyone was anxious and very scared.

"The ritual begins!" Motonobu Okabe shouted loudly.

All the soldiers shouted in unison, as if answering the commander, "Yes!" ”

This frightened the cold hairs of those family members to stand up.

"He's not going to do it here?" They couldn't help but think.

Although these family members did not dare to speak out, they were full of anxiety in the eye contact with each other.

Of course, this is what High Scienta wants.

Under the auspices of Okabe Motonobu, Gao Xianda solemnly incensed Imagawa Yoshimoto's spiritual seat and kowtowed. Then the samurai at all levels also kowtowed to incense in the same way. The whole atmosphere was very solemn, and Gao Xianda didn't say a word. The people below didn't know what was going on in his mind.

After the ceremony was all sorted out, Gao Xianda gave a speech to everyone in the venue.

The meaning of the expression is also very simple: first, my father has been killed, and I want to take revenge; Second, I have only one enemy, Oda Nobunaga, who has nothing to do with anyone else; Third, if the samurai in the Oda army choose to surrender now, they can keep their original fiefdoms; Fourth, three days later, when I have finished guarding my father's spirit, I will send troops against Oda Nobunaga's troops; Fifth, the wives and daughters of the recalcitrant samurai were to be given to the heroes as slaves, and all the sons were to be killed.

At this point, everyone was in an uproar.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead, and it is naturally no problem for Gao Xianda to avenge him. As punishment, it is common practice to kill the son of a defeated samurai and confiscate his wife and daughter. As members of the samurai's family, they have long had this awareness. But after all, Gaoxianda still gave everyone a way to live.

The struggle between the Oda family and the Imagawa family seemed to these women and children to be defeated. Generally speaking, in such a situation, even if you surrender, you will often only save a life. However, the conditions offered by Coxianda were very generous, and the original fief could be retained.

As the heir of the Imagawa family, the orders he issued are very credible. If he goes back on his word, he will be spurned by the whole society, and his notoriety is too great, which is a huge obstacle to future development, and it is impossible to recruit other forces.

So everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but they actually have their own calculations in their hearts.

After the memorial service was dispersed, they tried every means to convey the policy trustee of Gao Xianda.

Although the families of the samurai were concentrated in Cheongju Castle, Gao Xianda did not treat them as prisoners, not to mention that if he wanted to be prisoners, there would not be so many people in the cell. Therefore, they still live in their original residences, and basically they can still retain a certain degree of personal freedom.

Gao Xianda hoped that they could spread the news, so under Gao Xianda's deliberate release of water, among the warriors who surrendered, there were still some sturdy dead soldiers who took the letterhead of the master's family and climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and escaped from Cheongju City.
