    In Azuchi Castle.

    A warrior with a small flag ran quickly onto the horse path.

    After passing several checkpoints and numerous inspections by guards, we were released.

    After the samurai passed the gate of the castle tower, he ran directly outside the large hall where the meeting was held.

    Outside the sliding door separated by a layer of paper, the samurai said loudly: "Report to my lord, the lord of the northern city, Ando Hinata Mamoru, has betrayed the Takeda family."

    After the warrior finished speaking, the buzzing discussion in the castle tower suddenly stopped.

    Suddenly, the samurai pushed the paper sliding door in front of him hard.

    A samurai wearing hunting clothes walked out from behind the door with bare feet and asked: "You said Ando Mamoru, but you actually turned against him?"

    This samurai recognized the other person. He was none other than Ikeda Tsuneaki, the leader of the clan and an important minister of the Settsu Kingdom.

    The samurai immediately lowered his head and said: "Yes, Mr. Ikeda, after Ando Mamoru killed Mr. Shimojo, the Takeda family and the main island of Tiancheng City Sheng Meng led two thousand troops and entered the northern city.  "

    Hearing this, Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help but be shocked.

    What surprised him was not that Mamoru Ando was involved in the rebellion, but that Mitsuhide Akechi knew things well.

    Oda Nobuo was also unconvinced and walked out and asked: "What are the main trends of the Takeda Hida Echu Army?"

    The samurai said: "Reporting to your lord, Li Xiao led the main force of the Takeda Army and lost movement after entering Echigo Ono County!"

    Oda Nobuo said angrily: "How is it possible? How could a large army disappear out of thin air?"

    This warrior.  He lowered his head and said: "Echizen, all the Azuma Shinobi of the Takeda Army have been dispatched. The Monomichi sent by our army has revealed that more than twenty ninjas have been killed, so the information has been unable to be transmitted smoothly."

    "Even so, it is impossible that there is no news at all." Oda Nobuo said to himself.

    But of course no one would pay attention to the roar of Oda Nobuo. All the retainers present knew in their hearts that of course there was a big army.  It is impossible to lose traces out of thin air. The only explanation is that Li Xiao led the army into the barbaric mountains of Omeron.

    Everything was as expected by Akechi Mitsuhide.

    In the vast room, the retainers of the Oda family looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and couldn't help but think, this man is really a god of knowledge.

    Back then, the other party was a retainer under Nobunaga's account, so why didn't he realize how powerful this person was?

    No wonder within the past few years.  The Honganji Temple, the Matsunaga family, and the Danyu Tano family were all defeated in his hands.

    With the Oda family in his hands, he completed the unification of Kinki.

    Now Oda Nobutada also treated Mitsuhide Akechi seriously and said: "In that case. Lord Hinata Mamoru, you might as well speak out."

    Akechi Mitsuhide said with a loud voice: "I believe that the 100,000 troops in Takeda Kamiro this time, although they are huge, each belong to the Kwantung Allied Forces. They are not united. Generals such as Li Xiao are also self-respecting people who support the army.  Everyone must have their own thoughts. It¡¯s completely different from the main family, where they give the same orders and work together.¡±

    "So I still have my original opinion. The decisive battle is where the two sides have a tacit understanding. Concentrate their forces and decide the world in one battle with the Takeda family."

    The words of Akechi Mitsuhide are clear to the ears.

    Poof!

    I saw Oda Nobutada suddenly swinging the folding fan in his hand and throwing it on the ground. He suddenly said: "In this case, we will follow the wishes of Lord Hyuga Mamoru and the entire army will go out to fight the Takeda family for a decisive battle!"

    "oh!"

    The retainers of the Oda family present all mustered their utmost strength.  Said together.

    ?Higashi Meino, Iwamura Castle.

    In the castle tower, Hidetaka Kawajiri held a vase and played with it carefully.

    It was not that he had such a leisurely mood, but that at this moment, he suddenly thought of killing Akiyama Shinto and his wife, Mrs. Xiu, on the river beach below the city.

    When Hidetaka Kawajiri thought about the beauty of the former lord Oda Nobunaga's aunt, his index finger moved. When he thought about her passing away in such a beautiful way, he felt pity for a moment.

    ¡°Alas, Kawajiri Hidetaka couldn¡¯t help but sigh, and suddenly thought of the old man Shibata who accompanied Shibata in Kitanojo Castle, and died in the fire of Oda City together.

    He couldn¡¯t help but think in his heart that the Oda family was really blessed with beauties, but none of them ended well.  They each died together with their two husbands, which is really a disaster for beauty.

    Although Hidetaka Kawajiri thought so in his heart, when he thought of the beauty of Mrs. Xiu in Oda City, he still couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips. There was still a physical impulse.

    And just waiting for this moment.

    Seeing this, a man hurried up to the castle tower and reported to Hidetaka Kawajiri: "My lord, Sanada Masayuki's Ueno regiment has been attacked in one day."During this period, Iibama Castle and seven other castles were captured.  "

    "What?"

    Hidetaka Kawajiri's expression changed slightly, but then he realized that he had lost his composure in front of his subordinates and quickly regained his composure.

    Kawajiri Hidetaka tapped the vase with his fingers and scolded: "It seems that Sanada Masayuki is really powerful and worthy of being called the Fox of Takeda. However, I am not prepared to hold on to this fortress based on this, how long it will last, it is just about your advancement speed."  , it¡¯s just a bit more than I expected.¡±

    At that moment, Kawajiri Hidetaka said: "It doesn't matter, shrink the troops and enter Iwamura Castle. I will defend here according to the danger. Block the Takeda family's move to Luoyang."

    After Hidetaka Kawajiri said this, he seemed to have the spirit of one man being able to block everything.

    But Hidetaka Kawajiri's aura only lasted less than half an hour.

    A samurai from Tsuru Castle (formerly Kawajiri Hidetaka's home castle, located in the eastern part of the Noubi Plain) panted and reported to Kawajiri Hidetaka: "My lord, Ando Mamoru, the lord of the northern city, has rebelled. The Takeda family's Hidagotsu  The main force of the Central Army Corps has approached Kajida Castle."

    Hearing this, Hidetaka Kawajiri froze on the spot, his eyes widened, and said: "Could it be that the foreign minister Akechi Mitsuhide was right? The goal of Li Xiao's army is not Azuchi Castle, but Nakasendo!"

    At that moment, Hidetaka Kawajiri slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it! I really regret not listening to wise words."

    In the castle tower, several subordinates of Hidetaka Kawajiri of the Oda Army's Nakasendo Army were at a loss as to what to do.

    At that moment, someone asked Hidetaka Kawajiri, "In that case. Lord Hizen, our army has fallen into a situation where the Takeda family is attacking from both sides. How should we deal with it?"

    Hidetaka Kawajiri's face darkened and he said: "Once the news spreads that the way back has been cut off, the morale of the army will be shattered. There will be no choice but to retreat."

    "Since Ando Mamoru has rebelled, Li Xiao's main force has arrived again. It is no longer possible for the army to reach the hinterland of Mino. The only option now is to set fire to Iwamura Castle, and the entire army will turn to Owari."

    At this time, a general hesitated and said: "But now the Suruga regiments of the Satake family, the Tokugawa family, and the Takeda family are leading their troops from Tokaido to attack Owari. Our army retreated to Owari. We happened to encounter the enemy.  Is the army marching westward?"

    Hidetaka Kawajiri snorted and said: "Idiot, are you comparable to Shibata Gonroku? Don't you think your life will be too long if you return from Mino?"

    September 16th.

    Masayuki Sanada¡¯s Ueno Corps and Hoshina¡¯s upright Minami-Shinano Corps defeated the Higashi Mino wealthy military force that was currently blocking them.  Successfully crossed the Meinong Sanhe Plateau with an average altitude of over 500 meters.

    By the time Sanada Masayuki arrived at Iwamura Castle, Oda General Hidetaka Kawajiri had already set the castle town on fire and led his army to retreat from Mino into Owari.

    But when Hidetaka Kawajiri led his army to retreat, they happened to encounter the Suruga Corps of Baba Nobbo, the third military force that had entered Higashi Mino from Nishi Mikawa Kamo County and copied Oda's Sando Corps.

    The Takeda family¡¯s Tokaido strategy.  Currently, the legions of Satake Yoshige and Tokugawa Ieyasu are fighting several battles with the troops of Sakuma Moriji and Mizuno Shinmoto who are stationed at Owari and Mikawa border.

    ??Under the prestige of Oni Yishige and the bravery and proficiency of the Mikawa samurai.

    Sakuma Moriji.  Mizuno Shingen and his two men were unable to defeat the enemy, so they fought and retreated, constantly retreating towards the hinterland of Owari.

    However, Satake Yoshige and Tokugawa Ieyasu were worried that they wanted to lure the two armies into Owari and annihilate them, so they did not rush into pursuit.

    But Baba Nobuka leads the Suruga Legion.  Climbing the Mino Mikawa Plateau silently, copying the Oda Army's retreat.

    However, what Baba Nobbo did not expect was that Hidetaka Kawajiri actually retreated from Iwamura Castle in advance and retreated towards Owari, cutting off Baba Nobbo halfway.

    This was purely an encounter that was beyond the reach of the generals on both sides.

    So in the Meinong Mountains, the two armies met on a narrow road and fought fiercely head on, completely out of formation.

    The two sides fought for half a day, when Sanada Masayuki's pursuit regiment arrived from behind.

    Under attack from two sides, Hidetaka Kawajiri's army was immediately defeated, and they retreated into the hinterland of Owari.

    The Ueno Corps and the Suruga Corps also successfully completed their rendezvous.

    After the two armies of Masayuki Sanada and Nobaba Baba won the first victory, both armies were filled with joy of winning the first battle.

    When the morale of the Takeda Army was high, it was heard that the Oda family had completed gathering Tanba, Settsu, Izumi, Kawachi, Yamashiro, Yamato, Kii, Omi, Ise, Shima, Mino, and Owari, a total of twelve  The country's large army, more than 100,000 troops, entered the Meinong Kingdom and went to the Ogaki City area to set up formations.

    SanadaFortunately, Baba Nobuka's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered someone to tell the news to the main force of the Takeda family that was marching on Nakasendo.

    Near Ogaki Castle, the Oda family¡¯s army of more than 100,000 people was sweeping in like an overwhelming force.

    Under the aqua blue platycodon pattern flag, Akechi Mitsuhide's armor was covered with a dazzling bright yellow formation feather cloth, and he rode on horseback.

    Akechi Hideman rode his horse to catch up from behind, came to Akechi Mitsuhide's side, and said: "The main formation of the main hall has reached the unbreakable barrier."

    "Very good, let's set up our formation here and wait and see the movements of the main force of the Takeda Army!"

    After saying this, the Jin Haori on Akechi Mitsuhide's body moved with a pop.

    Suddenly, his sharp eyes glanced at a very open plain surrounded by mountains in front of him.

    Akechi Mitsuhide took out his riding crop, pointed forward and asked, "Where is the open space ahead?"

    "this!"

    Akechi Hideman shook his head, and immediately ordered a map to be found and searched it carefully.

    "Found it!" Akechi Hide looked at Mitsuhide Akechi with sweat on his face and said, "Return to my lord, Sekigahara is right ahead!"
