As soon as Matsuda Kenhide finished speaking, Mochizuki Nobunaga, who was sitting under Takeda Nobushige, immediately glared at him and glared at him.
Matsuda Kenhide glanced at the other party, pretending not to know and smiled: "Major General Konoe, he is really a great general. If I had known that we would go to Luo this time, we would not have to bring hundreds of thousands of troops. We only need to let Major General Konoe alone." Just be the vanguard. Sekigahara is certain, and there will be no major wars from now on."
"In that case, then Matsuda-sama, why not just turn back. Why continue to work hard." Mochizuki Nobunaga said unceremoniously.
Matsuda Norihide chuckled and was noncommittal.
Just when Mochizuki Nobunaga was about to continue speaking, Takeda Nobushige stopped his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Major General Konoe is the number one general of our family. When my brother, Katsuyori, was still alive, he was always my friend. Very respectful."
"Today, Major General Konoe has achieved great success in Sekigahara. Naturally, he will try his best to serve me. I am very pleased."
Seeing that Takeda Nobushige kept his words to himself, Matsuda Kenhide laughed sarcastically and said: "What Mr. Chaoyue said is true."
At this time, Takeda Nobushige stood up and said: "In that case, we will immediately set out with our army and head to Sekigahara to join forces with the Konoe Major General."
"I heard that Nobuo Oda led the remnant army of the Oda family to retreat to Kinki under the command of Hyuga Shou. Before the great cause is achieved, we should not take it lightly. We must work together to advance to Luo and achieve the great cause."
"oh!"
Hearing Takeda Nobushige say this, all the generals present agreed with a bang. The feeling of disappointment in their hearts just now disappeared with Takeda Nobushige's words.
Rumble. Before winter begins, the last heavy rain falls.
The water-colored platycodon pattern flag print drooped listlessly, the ashigaru of the Akechi Army. Sitting listlessly in the mud, watching the fast horses galloping past on the street.
Akechi Mitsuhide, Akechi Hidemitsu, Saito Toshizo and other generals of the Akechi army, wearing a raincoat, riding fast horses through the rain.
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at the sluggish Akechi Army soldiers on the roadside. He sighed slightly in his heart, turned his head and continued to ride his horse forward.
After the Battle of Sekigahara, Akechi Mitsuhide led the Kinki Army with 35,000 troops to withdraw from the battlefield and fight with Ise. Compared with Meinong and the directly subordinate corps, its losses were not very large.
But the impact of the defeat still existed among the soldiers on the way back to Kinki. Ashgaru people are fleeing one after another every day.
Dozens, dozens, or even hundreds of places escaped.
In desperation, Akechi Mitsuhide ordered the generals of each team to adopt the method of sitting together to supervise each other. If there is a fleeing Ashigaru, half of the entire team will be drawn and killed. Only then did the momentum of escape stop.
But even so, Akechi Mitsuhide knew it from his heart. Above the head, the flag of Yongle Tongbao, for the warriors of the Oda family, their status in their hearts has become worse than ever.
¡°The samurai who were truly loyal to the Oda family have all died in Sekigahara, and those here now are all deserters of the Oda family.
¡°Perhaps it¡¯s time to change the flag and change the flag, and a new king emerges, so that the lost military morale can be restored and a powerful force can be re-formed.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought so.
And at this time, in the rain, a horse came over, with a papaya-patterned flag pointing behind its back.
Akechi Mitsuhide halted his horse and examined his opponent.
When the mounted samurai arrived, even though several mounted samurai under Akechi Mitsuhide surrounded him, these people drew their swords.
Seeing this scene, the knight on horseback said loudly: "Your Highness Hinata Mamoru, I am a subordinate of His Highness Nobuo, and I have been ordered to come here to pay homage to you!"
"Oda Nobuo?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Akechi Mitsuhide's lips, and he motioned to his subordinates to let the mounted warrior come over.
Akechi Mitsuhide asked calmly: "Where is His Highness Nobuo?"
The other party said: "His Royal Highness Nobuo, you are not far ahead. He asked me to tell His Highness Hinata Mamoru to lead the army to Azuchi Castle. With this strong city protection, we can resist the Takeda family's Kamiro army."
Hearing what this man said, Akechi Mitsuhide, Akechi Hidemitsu, and Saito Toshizo burst into laughter.
Akechihide said with full words: "The vanguard of the Takeda army has approached Azuchi Castle. His Highness Nobuo is throwing himself into a trap by going here."
Saito Rizo also laughed unceremoniously.
The warrior said loudly: "This is His Highness Nobuo's order."
Akechi Hidemitsu asked: "Your Highness Nobuo, how can you order our Kinki Army?"
The warrior said: "My lord, I still don't know that His Highness Nagaichi conveyed the last words of Anzuden, and ordered His Highness Nobuo to succeed as the governor of this family."
Hearing this clearlyGuangxiu and the other three were stunned.
Akechi Mitsuhide finally asked: "Is it true?"
The samurai said: "As proof that Azuchiden held a folding fan during his lifetime, doesn't His Highness Hyuga Mori believe it?"
Akechi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice: "How could I not believe His Highness Nagatsuki's words? In that case, please tell His Highness Nobuo that I will lead my army to meet him at Azuchi Castle."
¡°In that case, that¡¯s great, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±
After the knight on horseback left, Akechi Hidemitsu said from the side: "My lord, the power of the Oda family is irreversible. Do we still want to burn with the jade?"
Saito Toshizo also said: "My lord, this is the case. The flag of papaya has withered. It should be replaced by my flag of platycodon and erected on Kyoto."
Akechi Mitsuhide said: "Yes, my lord, you must know that the ministers of Kyoto and the royal family are very supportive of us."
Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head and said: "I originally wanted to act as a king after defeating Takeda in Sekigahara, but bad luck. If I raise the banner at this time, I am afraid I will be criticized."
Akechi Hide said: "The death of Oda's loyal dog is silent. It is better to rise up and cry. Even if it is defeated, it can still be famous throughout the ages."
Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide was still pondering.
Saito Toshi said in three words: "My lord, there is the best opportunity right now. It is right in front of you. It depends on whether your lord can seize it."
Wise Show, wise show is full of color.
Saito Toshi pointed in the direction of Azuchi Castle with three fingers and whispered: "My lord, just make one move here to see if you can grasp it."
Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a long time, finally waved his whip and said: "Let's decide like this."
That night, in a temple not far from Azuchi Castle.
Oda Nobuo, Kobe Nobutaka, Oda Nagamasu and others were all warming themselves by the fire in the temple.
There are no more than a hundred guards around him, which is all the Ise Legion that was withdrawn from Sekigahara.
After listening to the messenger's report, Oda Nobuo burst into laughter and said: "That's it. Akechi Mitsuhide is today thanks to the support of my father and brother. Now he is just following orders." Of course."
On the side, Oda Nagamasu echoed: "What His Highness said is exactly what he said. It's just that Akechi Mitsuhide has tens of thousands of troops under his command. The current situation is easy for the troops to be self-reliant, so we need to find a way to eliminate the military power."
