As the general of Niwa Nagahide is now smiling from ear to ear all day long, he never expected to be able to pacify Catfish City so quickly, and also destroy the hexagonal father and son, this great merit will definitely be rewarded by the lord, and he has taken another step towards the goal of the lord of a city and a country!

On the other hand, Akechi Mitsuhide's interest is not high, he did not perform well in this battle, and even lost his troops, if Oda Nobunaga is held accountable, what if he is responsible?

But Katsuhisa has always been very relaxed, because he is only a guest general, and he doesn't care about things such as rewards, he only cares about whether the Oda family can help him and befriend the Oda family; Fortunately, this battle did not disgrace the Niko family, but I hope it did not disappoint Oda Nobunaga!

At this time, Katsuhisa and Ah Jing were in the camp to check on the condition of the wounded, and it was all up to luck whether they could survive under such poor medical conditions.

Katsuhisa walked over to a ashigaru and crouched down, he was hit by an iron cannon in the calf during the charge, and the wound was only treated simply, but the black blood accompanied by the white sticky material flowed out from time to time, and it was possible that the inside had festered, and the leg might not be saved.

That Ashigaru kept his eyes closed and hummed softly, obviously every moment is tormented now, he saw that it was Niko Katsuhisa, and hurriedly wanted to struggle to get up, but was stopped by Katsuhisa.

"Please rest well, don't worry, I've already sent someone to call a healer, it should be almost there."

"Your Highness......"

This light nose was sore, and it was extremely moving, those who used to fight with the lord, who were injured and lost their ability to fight, would be thrown away like a burden and left to fend for themselves, and no one would care about them, the people who were like grass mustard.

Katsuhisa stood up and looked around at the dozens of wounded members of the Gamo family, some of whom had been injured before, and some who had been injured while following Katsuhisa, and he said loudly:

"Katsuhisa would like to thank everyone for their efforts, the victory of this battle is the result of everyone's joint efforts, the rewards and spoils of the Oda family, I Nizi Katsuhisa do not take a penny, and share them all with everyone, and will not let everyone's blood be shed in vain."

As soon as Shengjiu's words fell, warm applause and cheers rang out all around, these low-level soldiers don't want much, and it is enough to get a reward to make their families live a little better this year!

Ah Jing looked at the man in front of her who behaved differently from others, and her beautiful eyes turned out to be distracted.

After this battle, Nizi and Gamo formed a deep relationship.

At this moment, the half-guard came over:

"Shiro, I've been looking for you for a long time."

Katsuhisa turned his head to see that it was a half-soldier, and asked with a smile:

"It's a half-guard!"

There were a few people behind the half-guard, and Katsujiu thought for a while before he remembered that this was not the Kaga people who were captured by the half-guards the day before yesterday! I've only seen it once, so I don't have much of an impression.

The half-soldier guard whispered to Katsuhisa:

"Sugitani, Zenjubo, is a talent who commands the Iron Artillery Corps, and he does not want to serve the Oda family, but wants to join the Niko Army."

Katsuhisa's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Sugitani and said to the half-guard:

"Does he know what we're going to do? And now I can't give them any favors. ”

Sugitani heard Katsuhisa's words and hurriedly bowed:

"Even if you die, you won't take refuge in the Oda family, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, Zenjubo is willing to follow Your Highness."

"Have you really figured it out?"

Faced with Katsuhisa's inquiry, Sugitani gritted his teeth and said:

"Now that I'm alone, I have nothing to worry about, and it's not in vain to go to the West to see it."

After listening to this, Katsuhisa looked at the half-soldier guard with some doubts, only to see the half-soldier guard say with a solemn expression:

"Just now, Koga came to report that some of the remaining Koga Hao clan are willing to belong to the Oda family, and some have fled to Iga to continue to fight against the Oda family; But before that, the family of the elder brother of Zenjubo had died, and the Koga Sugitani family no longer existed, and the territory was incorporated into the Oda Naoji. ”

Katsuhisa understood, no wonder Zenjubo was reluctant to take refuge in the Oda family; Katsuhisa pondered for a moment and then said slowly:

"You're welcome to join, and I hope I won't let you down."

"Oh!"

【Mino Province Gifu】

"Get out of the way! Move! Drive! ”

As soon as they galloped into the castle town of Gifu, all the merchants and people hurriedly got out of the way, knowing that it was a messenger carrying a red flag, and they thought that there was another victory!

Oda Nobunaga was enjoying a tea ceremony with Nohime, one of Nobunaga's hobbies was tea, and he thought that after pacifying the Gyeonggi countries, he would definitely hold a tea party in Kyoto in the future and call all the guardians of the countries.

At this time, Mori Lan Maru came to the door with small broken steps:

"My lord, His Royal Highness Niwa has won a great victory!"

Then he took out Niwa Nagahide's dear letter from his bosom and handed it to Nobunaga.

Nobunaga took the letter with some surprise, he didn't expect that this guy Niwa could pacify Catie City so quickly, did the Rokkaku Yoshiken father and son run away again? He couldn't help but think so.

When he had finished reading the letter, he stood up and laughed:

"Hahahaha~Hahaha~~"

Nohime also pursed her lips and smiled, she was smart and knew that it must be His Royal Highness Niwa who had completed the task excellently to make the lord so happy, and she said softly:

"Congratulations, my lord."

After Nobunaga finished laughing, he sat down and smiled at Nohime:

"Anon knows why I'm laughing."

Nohime was a little puzzled, wasn't it because he had won the battle? Nobunaga tilted his head suspiciously, gently rubbed her forehead and smiled:

"Rokkaku Yoshiken's father and son died by self-immolation, and Minami Omi is completely mine."

"Congratulations, my lord."

"Congratulations to the lord, the Oda family is prosperous."

Under the leadership of Nohime, Moran Maru and the others also bowed in unison.

Nobunaga pretended to be mysterious and said to Nohime:

"Do you know Niko Katsuhisa?"

"The concubine heard Ranmaru say that the head of the Izumo Niko family expects to be able to get the help of the lord."

Nobunaga nodded, looked at the letter again, and said:

"At that time, I only felt that this person had seen extraordinary knowledge at a young age, and I gave him a sword on a whim, and let him serve under Niwa to see his ability."

Nohime looked at Nobunaga's satisfied expression, and guessed eight points in his heart, so he also smiled:

"It seems that His Highness Katsuhisa has passed the test of the lord?"

"That's right! The formation of Catfish Longjing, and sent someone to find out the location of the Catfish Shoe Gate, so Niwa can break the city so quickly, brave and strategic, and the Nizi family is worthy of being the Taishou of the Western Kingdom. ”

Nobunaga thought again:

"Wouldn't it be a pity to let him go to the West to fight against the Maori family like this......

Nobunaga originally promised Niko Katsuhisa just to let them, the remnants of Niko, go to fight guerrillas with the Mori family, and use the influence of the Niko family to drag the Mori family's invasion of Shikoku and Kyushu, but now he feels that it is a pity to let people like Niko Katsuhisa go to death senselessly.

At present, Oda Nobunaga attaches great importance to talents, no matter what his background is, whose retainer he is, as long as you have the ability and willingness to serve the Oda family, he is willing to reuse; This is the case with Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi; Akechi Mitsuhide served as one of the Kyoto commissioners and commanded the first army; Hosokawa Fujitaka even became the lord of Katsuryuji Castle, you must know that many Oda Naotomi did not have a castle at this time.

Nohime knew that Nobunaga was loving talent again, so he suggested:

"It's better for the lord to give the Niko family a piece of territory in Omi, so that they can serve the Oda family well."

Nobunaga was stunned when he heard this, and did not answer in a hurry, but pondered whether this guy Niko Katsuhisa would truly serve the Oda family, and after a moment he replied:

"Even if you want to be rewarded, it can't be Omi, Settsu is also pretty good, how can there be such a cheap thing in the territory, let me think about it again."

Mori Lanmaru also raised his head curiously when he heard this, he knew the current situation of Oda, and only a few wealthy families of the Itami family in Settsu had clearly thrown themselves into the Oda family; The people of the country, led by the old Araki Murashige of the Settsu Ikeda family, are still resisting the influence of the Oda family;

In Settsu, the remnants of the Miyoshi Sanzhong, the Ikeda family, the Oda family, the people of the country, and the famous Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the forces are complicated, and the people of the Niko family are not sent to death!
