Since Nobunaga ordered the Nikko Army to guard the land of Akutagawa, the entire Shiniyaya began to get busy, and they were all preparing to go to Settsu.

With the increase in the number of retainers under his command, the affairs of the battle are arranged by Kanosuke and Tachihara Hisatsune, and the new palace and the sea butterfly house are still managed by Mori Feng and Butterfly Hime; With a clear goal, everyone's enthusiasm is also mobilized.

Katsuhisa and Yuri sat at the door, watching the children in the small courtyard learn swordsmanship under the teachings of the retainers of the Niko, and Kinosuke and Sun Roku were among them, while Fujido and Yoshiro were also at the age of the first battle, and now studied all day behind his teacher Shikanosuke.

"In my absence, these children will ask you, Sheng Feng can't be busy alone."

In the face of Katsuhisa's request, Lily did not refuse, and she also enjoyed working with these children.

"Don't worry! His Royal Highness the Guards also come from time to time. ”

"What about Cuizhuju?"

Lily saw Katsuhisa's inquiry and replied with a smile:

"Brother, they've already returned from the East, and they're better than me, but my father had already set off for China a few days ago."

"Really?"

Shengjiu was also a little puzzled, why did the old gentleman go to Yinyang at this time!

I saw Lily purse her lips, and then continued with some embarrassment:

"My father was invited by the Mori family to go to Yamashijo, Yoshida-gun, to treat His Royal Highness Mori Motosho......"

Lily had been carefully observing Katsuhisa's expression, he knew that Mori was Niko's enemy, so he also considered whether to say this to Katsuhisa, but then he thought that the healer should not have a position, which is also the family style of the Qu Naase family; There's nothing to hide from Katsuhisa either.

"O~"

Katsuhisa didn't care, Maori Yuan would have lived well for the past two years anyway, if Maori Yuan died early, then Otomo and Maori would not be able to fight, which would not be conducive to the Nizi Army.

Seeing that Katsuhisa was not angry, Lily was relieved to breathe a sigh of relief; Katsuhisa looked at Lily's expression and asked with a smile:

"Am I so immeasurable in Lily's heart?"

Maybe it was because he had been sitting for a long time, Katsuhisa stood up and moved his body, his right arm propped up the pillar, and looked at the children who were training hard; He seemed to mutter:

"Lily, I want to ......"

"Boss! Top dog! ”

Just then, Hachiro rushed into the courtyard and interrupted Katsuhisa.

"Boss, East ...... Tofukuji ...... Something went wrong. ”

Katsuhisa was so shocked that he directly grabbed Evil Hachiro and asked hurriedly:

"Tell me clearly, what's wrong!"

"Tofukuji and the guys from Mt. Hiei got into a fight, and Senior Brother Katsumasa and they were surrounded in a hata, and the remnants of Tofukuji retreated to the temple to defend."

"Damn! Gather your hands and come with me! ”

"I'm going to call someone."

Katsuhisa couldn't figure out how Tofukuji could fight with Enryakuji Temple, and the strength of Hieiyama was something that Tofukuji could compete with! Anyway, let's go to Ichibata to rescue my senior brother first.

Soon, the Niko samurai and the people of Shiniyaya were summoned, and Katsuhisa and many others wore the full armor they had used to fight in Akeie Castle.

"Jiugang, Shengfeng, close the door of the new palace house and do a good job of defense."

"Yes!"

"Kiyomitsu, you immediately go to His Royal Highness Murai's mansion and inform him of this, he will not ignore the order in Kyoto."

"Oh!"

"Little Ghost Seven, you go to Dongfu Temple and tell Teacher Huisheng, I'll go rescue Senior Brother first."

"Good!"

"Everyone else, follow me to Ichibata and go out into battle!"

"Oh!"

After a series of orders from Katsuhisa, Katsuhisa mounted his horse, armed with the Sozo Zuo script, and led nearly a hundred samurai and Shingu Yaya people to rush to Ichibata in the north of Kyoto behind the seal of the Immovable Ming Dynasty.

"Drive!"

Twenty samurai opened the way, and the people in the streets were far away, if they had been stopped by the Oda army in normal times, but because they had to suppress the resistance in Yamashiro and some areas of Omi, the Oda army left behind in Kyoto could only barely maintain a semblance of order.

When Kiyomitsu Benjo drove to Murai Sadakatsu to tell him everything, he heard that Katsuhisa had already brought someone there, and Murai was also shocked, he knew that if this matter was not handled well, these Buddhas would not give up.

"Stupid! This is only a matter of the Lotus Sect and the Rinzai Sect, if the Nizi army participates in the war, then the nature will become that my Oda family is going to suppress Enryakuji Temple, if the matter is big, the monks of Enryakuji Temple gather believers to storm the Ouchi to disturb the holy car, and it is not enough to behead his Sun Shiro. ”

Murai Sadakatsu was already so angry at this time that he jumped to his feet, it was common for these Buddhas to burn each other, and the Yamako Honganji Temple of the Pure Land Shinshu during the astronomical period was not burned down by the Hokke Sect!

Qingguang of this city was also frightened into a cold sweat at this time, this ...... This...... So serious?

"Come, gather the defenders of the surrounding cities, and order Hosokawa Fujitaka of Katsuryuji Castle to go to Ichibata to control the conflict between the two sides; I went to ask the imperial court to mediate the conflict between the two monasteries. ”

"Oh!"

Murai Sadakatsu angrily glanced at Kiyomitsu Honjo, who was kneeling in the courtyard, and flicked his sleeves away; Leaving the city gasping for breath.

The people of the shogunate have also taken immediate action, and if there is another riot in Kyoto, no one can afford to take this responsibility, and no one knows how the Guild of Gifu will punish them.

And in the village on the side of Ichibata, more than 200 monks and soldiers of the southern courtyard of Tofukuji Temple were surrounded by thousands of monks and soldiers of Enryakuji Temple, shouting and scolding each other constantly, and the main force of the northern courtyard of Tofukuji Temple who came to reinforce had already been defeated, and they were already isolated.

But no one wanted to surrender, and the wars between the Buddhas, because of the different sectarian beliefs, were often more brutal than the wars between the samurai, although they did not leave no one alive, but they were also worse than death.

"Senior brother, let's rush out and fight with them!"

"There may be hope for rushing out."

"yes!"

Shengzheng was surrounded by many people and said to him; He was already upset at this time, he didn't expect that Enryakuji Temple would really dare to attack them, and he might even attack this temple like this.

"Let's hold on first, we have too many wounded, if we leave them behind, what face will we have to go back to the temple."

Sheng Zheng looked at the surrounding senior brothers, almost all of them were injured, and dozens of people were lying on the ground moaning in pain, he cheered at everyone and said.

"The temple won't leave us alone, maybe the Oda army is coming soon, everyone must hold on and drive these Mt. Hiei monkeys back to the mountain."

"Oh!"

In Katsumasa's heart, Tofukuji can fight with Enryaku, and the Oda family is also responsible; Because Tofukuji Temple leaned on the Oda family in time, provided money and food and sent troops to suppress it, and Oda Nobunaga unsuccessfully asked Enryakuji for Wanguan Ya money as military expenses, so he began to dislike Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei;

So the area around Ichibata was divided into Tofukuji Domain, but the people of Ichibata have always believed in Enryakuji Temple and handed over crops to Enryakuji Temple, so the two parties gradually began to conflict because of the ownership of the territory; Today, there is finally a large-scale sword fight, and I don't know if Oda Nobunaga is intentional or unintentional.

But at this time, thinking that nothing else was useless, Katsumasa asked everyone to use all the obstacles they could find, piled up on each road, and both sides slapped and slashed each other with spears or naginatas, but many wild samurai on the Enryakuji side used rattan bows to shoot at the village, and from time to time someone fell from an arrow.

Time passed little by little, and the battle continued until the evening, and the monks and soldiers of Enryakuji Temple compressed the living space of the monks of Tofukuji Temple, and the blood-colored sunset shone on the battlefield, turning the black blood all over the ground bright.

There were only more than 100 people left in the Dongfu Temple to be besieged in the center of the village, and Katsumasa was already covered in blood at this time, but he was still wielding his naginata with angry eyes, blocking the enemy's footsteps like a blood Shura.

At this time, a person walked out of the team of Enryakuji Temple, he was also dressed as a monk, holding a short naginata knife and pointing at Shengzheng:

"You're Tofukuji Katsumasa? Komatsubara-ji Gen came to ask for advice. ”

Shengzheng grinned, and brandished the naginata knife and rushed to thousands of times, so shocked that the people around him exclaimed again and again, and Xuan Yi also clenched the naginata knife and rushed towards Shengzheng very seriously.
