The ninja trio also rescued Hattori Hanzo, who was wounded, from the prison of Narumi Castle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hattori Hanzo's body, except for the two gunshot wounds caused by Nishitani, which were more serious, the rest were skin wounds.

As a gunman, Nishitani has a very wide field of vision and has detection skills.

When Hattori Hanzo entered the city, it was a tense confrontation between the two sides. Nishiya's attention was especially focused and he unleashed a wide range of detection skills, so he easily recognized Hattori Hanzo.

By the time Shimada Hanzo and the others entered the city, Haruzaburo had already personally held talks with Gao Xianda, and heard Gao Xianda himself say that he would launch a general attack in three days. At this time, they had already arranged a plan to attack the Imagawa army at night, and Nishitani's vigilance relaxed. So he doesn't have the ability to activate detection.

And the three of Shimada Hanzo have very high ninjutsu, and their concealment skills are also strong, and they each have the ability to watch their homes, and they didn't alarm the general guards, so Nishitani didn't find them entering the city for a while. When Gao Xianda was captured by Kaede, Nishitani thought that victory was in sight, so he let Gongoro take the lead and restrained him with one move.

Otherwise, he only needs to roll in advance to open the distance, and he still has many skills on his body that can restrict the opponent's movements, and he will not be beaten so badly.

He may stumble against the contractor, but he has no problem with ordinary people.

Nishitani's marksmanship is outstanding, and after he discovered Hattori Hanzo, it was actually quite easy to subdue Hattori Hanzo, whose ability was still in the human realm. A single shot knocked down Hattori Hanzo. It's just that Harusaburo took the overall situation and stopped Nishitani's action in time, leaving Hattori Hanzo alive.

He hoped to extract more information about the army outside the city from the ninja's mouth, so although he ordered Hattori Hanzo to be tortured, he was not killed.

After all, Hattori Hanzo is a ninja and has participated in all kinds of hard training since he was a child. His physical fitness is much better than that of a pampered person like Imagawa Yoshimoto. So although the injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening. Under the conditioning of Gao Xianda's internal strength and pills, he also slowly recovered, and it did not have much negative impact on his ninja career.

As long as he continues to cultivate according to the plot, he still has the possibility of becoming the number one ninja in the world.

Kinoshita Tengjiro and Hattori Hanzo, the two key plot characters, are now alive, which shows that the mission of the two groups of people has not failed, but the key to the success or failure of the mission is on Gao Xianda. That's why they're able to work together for the time being.

So now the overall situation is quite harmonious.

Although the battle was won, Imagawa Yoshimoto was injured, and the main soldiers of the team suffered serious losses, so the strength of the Imagawa family is not enough to continue to go to Luo. So Gao Xianda decided to accept it when he saw it, and returned to the court first.

Located between Owari and Mikawa, Narumi Castle was a crucial gateway for the Imagawa and Oda clans in their struggle. But now that the Oda family has been annexed by the Imagawa family, Narumi Castle has changed from an outer castle to an inner castle. None of the surrounding hostile forces could attack here.

Therefore, there was no need to leave too many people in Narumi Castle, and Gao Xianda gathered some of the Imagawa family defenders in several fortresses, such as Tange, Nakajima, and Zenshoji Temple, and stationed them in Narumi Castle to maintain law and order after the war. He led the cavalry team and the Mikawa soldiers under Matsudaira Motoyasu, and led the generals to return to Sunfu Castle.

The first place to stay, of course, is the largest castle in Mikawa, Okazaki Castle.

In fact, after careful calculation, it didn't take Gao Xianda a few days to go from raiding Qingzhou City to taking Minghai City. It is basically a record in the history of Japanese sieges. At this time, the main force of the Imagawa family in Okazaki Castle was still in a wait-and-see state.

Because their composition is very complex, they were originally attached to the Imagawa family. When the Imagawa family is strong, it is natural to be able to unite together, but in reality, no one wants to consume their strength in battle.

After knowing that Imagawa Yoshimoto had been killed, they felt that the Imagawa family's strength was no longer what it used to be and that they had lost control over themselves, so they passed the buck to each other and did not want to send troops to aid Gao Xianda.

And Imagawa Yoshimoto's main team, the rest of the troops are managed by several important ministers of the Imagawa family. However, these important ministers did not agree with each other because of the struggle for power.

Some said that they should organize men to storm the Oda family first and avenge Imagawa Yoshimoto. Others believe that Sunpu Castle should be retreated first to establish the heir of Imagawa Yoshimoto. There are also people who think that they should first ask the opinions of the Takeda family and the Hojo family to strengthen their support, and then take action after confirming their attitudes.

From their respective point of view, their opinions are absolutely correct, and those who disagree with their own views are the great enemies of the Imagawa family, national thieves, and bad elements who have penetrated into our army.

None of them could convince anyone, and each of them still had military power in their hands, and each of them had the idea of supporting the army and respecting themselves. If you don't accept me, let's fight.

As a result, there was a lot of arguing, and in the end, there was no one to help Gao Xianda.

But now the situation is completely different, and without reinforcements, Gao Xianda captured Cheongshu Castle and Narumi Castle, captured Oda Nobunaga, and completely annexed the Oda family. This is something they simply do not dare to imagine.

And there is also a major news, that is, Imagawa Yoshimoto is still alive! So all their previous motions have been dismissed.

Cossenda had sent someone to inform them that reinforcements were needed, but they had not sent them for a long time. At this time, it seems that it is a capital offense for delaying a military aircraft.

For a while, everyone was in danger, and these city lords, retainers, and local tycoons swarmed back together, and sent people to line up to greet them on the way back from Gao Xianda in advance to express their sincerity.

Gao Xianda knew the behavior of these people. But the law does not blame the public, and it is difficult for him to publicly express his blame, these people are all part of the Imagawa family's forces, and they all have military power in their hands. If they were to be punished publicly, it would likely cause them to unite and resist.

They have a lot of soldiers in their hands, so they are killing themselves. At this time, Imagawa Yoshimoto's consciousness was not yet sober, and Gao Xianda could not do that.

Therefore, Gao Xianda did not mention anything about their refusal to send troops, but praised them for their loyalty, bravery, and retaining the strength of the Imagawa family. Then he took out the booty captured from the Oda family, and the generals who led the troops, each with a reward. made these retainers feel ashamed, and they didn't dare to have any opinions on Gao Xianda.

But Gao Xianda is a person who has experience in large-scale management, and he feels that this kind of loose management method is not suitable for governance, and the ability to resist risks is too weak.

What he needs is a team that can win battles and is completely at his command.
