    However, what everyone never expected was that early the next morning, while everyone was waiting for Mori Tadaya to make a decision, a man with a minor surname panicked and reported Mori Tadaya's death to Lin Xiuzhong and others.  "As usual, I came outside my lord's bedroom on time and waited to serve my lord for a meal. However, after waiting for a long time, the door did not open. The maid responsible for dressing my lord also said that my lord didn't respond no matter how he called me this morning, so I felt a little uncomfortable.  Wonderful, when we opened the door and took a look, we saw the master lying in a pool of blood, and there was a letter on the table. I dare not pry, but I came here to invite all the adults to go forward." The young man described his own words respectfully.  experience.  Upon hearing the news, Lin Xiuzhong and others immediately rushed to Mori Tamasa's dormitory.  Indeed, as the nickname said, Mori Tamasa was lying on the desk, blood stained his chest red, and stained a large area around him along with his clothes. This sight made the retainers panic.  Lin Xiuzhong came to the body of Mori Tamasa, carefully picked up the letter placed in the corner of the desk, browsed it for a while, and then handed the letter to other retainers.  "My lord, you still haven't thought about it." Zhong sighed and shook his head helplessly.  Other retainers couldn't help but echoed after reading the letter: "I made it very clear last night. My family and the Inaba family are both former retainers of the Oda clan. After the establishment of Hachiman Castle in the county, no one was blamed for it. How could my family be included?"  "What about treating people differently? It's really not worth it, my lord." "You are wrong," Lin Xiuzhong immediately reminded after hearing this: "The fear of being criticized in my lord's letter does not mean being embarrassed by Gifu.  But there is someone else." "There is someone else?" Everyone was confused: "Aside from Zhong Nayan outside the city, what else is the Lord worried about?" Lin Xiuzhong looked outside the palace and said in a low voice.  : "Of course it's His Royal Highness Youfu who is far away in Aizu." "Youfu?!" Everyone seemed to have realized something: "We all know that Nakaton's attack on all sides was indeed under the instructions of Youfu, but why do you think  "The Youfu will definitely embarrass me?" "It's very simple, because His Highness Kawajiri Hizen of Naegi City" Lin Xiuzhong said bluntly: "This family is an old minister of Oda, so Nakagashi will not be too embarrassed, but you.  As far as I know, Hidenaga Kawajiri has been close to the Youfu for a long time, and he was appointed as the general of the Mino clan during this expedition to Aizu. This shows that the Youfu and Kawajiri attach great importance to him.  Everyone is aware of the conflict between the two families. If Hizen gains the upper hand, can we get forgiveness from the Youfu? " "According to what you said, while we are secretly communicating with the inner government, the Kawajiri family is betting on the Youfu?  "Yes, for little big names like us, this seems to be one of the few ways to change our destiny, especially in this situation where two heroes are competing, the only thing we can do is choose sides.  , just treat it as a big gamble. Whoever wins or loses can¡¯t blame others. Now it seems that the lord has decided that he has lost the bet, and will use his own death to exchange for the mercy of the right government for my family in the future. " "Lost the bet?  "The retainers were surprised: "How could it be? The war in Aizu has not ended yet, and no bad news has come from Edo. How could the lord lose confidence in the inner government?  Support Gohigashiyama and Nagayoshi Pass; the Toyotomi coalition troops stationed in the north and other southwest Mino castles, and the Noo Corridor has been secured; the Mino pacification army in Gifu Chunagon captured Nishi and North America one after another, and Iwamura Castle was already Mino  , the only city in Owari that is not under the control of the Toyotomi coalition. Under this situation, do you think he can still firmly believe that the inner government will win the final victory? Even if he still has full confidence in the inner government?  , but this Iwamura City cannot hold on for long. In this case, he has only two options: one is to follow my suggestion and open the city to surrender, but if so, will the inner government give the family a satisfactory outcome after taking over the world?  Arrangement? In fact, my family has not made much achievements in Mino. It has neither solved the siege of Hachiman Castle nor delayed the Toyotomi coalition. If we surrender at this time, let alone rewards after the war, we may directly  If you ignore it, no one will plead for me at that time; the other way is to use your own death to exchange for the future status of your family. Although Kaicheng surrenders, if you commit suicide in order to abide by the promise with the inner government, you will have to fight.  Later, when this matter reaches the ears of the inner government, they will definitely feel pity for our family.  In this way, even if we surrender, our family will be cared for by the inner government in the future, at least our abilities will be secure, and if we are more optimistic, we may even get some seals.  "My lords, you should understand at this point that the lord is by no means simply dead. There seems to be no benefit to him living. However, if he dies, he may be able to obtain some compensation for the family in the future and leave a way for the young master to survive.  " Hearing this, all the retainers suddenly realized that their previous contempt and dissatisfaction with Mori Tadamasa also disappeared. At Lin Xiuzhong's suggestion, everyone reported the death of Mori Tadamasa to Oda Hidenobu outside the city, and Hidenobu alsoThey were shocked, but they still made a promise to the defenders in the city that as long as the city was opened, they would never be allowed to exit safely.  At noon on April 25, Iwamura Castle finally opened to the city. Accompanied by Lin Hidetada and others, Mori Shigemasa, the young master of the Mori family, went to the outside of the city to meet with Oda Hidenobu. Hidenobu promised him face to face that he would do his best to preserve it in the future.  Mori's.  At this point, except for the southwest and Naegi Castle, the entire territory of Mino has returned to the hands of the Oda clan. The wealth of Tomoyo in the hands of the Oda clan has also increased sharply from less than 130,000 koku to 380,000 koku, accounting for the total of Mino.  Shi Gao's 70% has become a force that cannot be underestimated.  What is surprising is that after completing the pacification of Mino, Oda Hidenobu did not stop. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity when the Maeda clan was out in Omi and the Toyotomi coalition forces were guarding the Noo Corridor and had no time to think about anything else. He mobilized Oda, Inaba and Mori.  The family's military forces formed the Oda Alliance, which set out from Gujo Hachiman Castle and Kanayama Castle respectively, along Gujo Street and Hida Street, and went north to attack the Kanamori clan of Hida Kingdom.  The head of the Kanamori clan, Kanamori Nagachika, was originally a retainer of Oda Nobunaga and Shibata Katsuie. He later surrendered to Hideyoshi, and with Hideyoshi's support, he defeated the wealthy sister Koji Yoritsuna (real name Miki Jizuna) who was entrenched in Hida.  , and finally obtained the security of the Hida country, but the country's land was barren and the stone height was no more than 38,000 koku.  At this time, Kanamori Nagachika was accompanying Hideho on his expedition to Aizu, and all household affairs were left to his adopted son Kanamori Kashige.  The 6,000-strong Oda army at Hachiman Castle in the county was led by Momotsuya Momotsuya, the family elder, and focused on attacking Masushima and Ogiwara-Suwa, the branch cities of the Kanamori clan; the Oda army at Kanayama Castle was led by Iinuma Nagami, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Gifu".  There are 12,000 troops, and the target is Takayama Castle, the residence of the Kanamori clan.  Although Kanamori Nagauchi only took 300 people with him, even if the Kanamori clan mobilized all the troops, they could only gather a maximum of 1,000 people. This is like a mantis trying to resist the attack of the Oda army.  In desperation, Kanamori Kezhong chose to concentrate his troops in Gaoshan City and gave up the defense of other branch cities.  On April 29, the Oda coalition successfully captured Masushima Castle and Ogiwara Suwa Castle, and the two armies met at the foot of Takayama Castle.  On the first day of May, under the persuasion of retainers and the intimidation of the Oda army, Kanamori Katsushige finally surrendered, and Hida Kingdom was captured by Oda Hidenobu.  In less than a month, the leader of the Oda clan had basically completed the suppression of Mino and Hida, and the star of the Oda clan seemed to be shining brightly again.
