Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Although Tsurumaru is looking forward to having new companions, it is a pity that Saburo is still busy preparing for the upcoming war, so he has no way to forge his sword for the time being, and once again preaches the widely spread "Oda will have revenge" !” to stimulate the nerves of the Asai family, who were already tense.

It's really regrettable to think about it.

However, during the time that Saburo didn’t know, he was taken to visit Gifu by other swordsmen, and was popularized by science such as "Gifu Castle is Honmaru, yes, it is the Gifu of Oda Nobunaga in history", "Expedition is sending letters, receiving The trustees include Akechi Mitsuhide, Takenaka Hanbei and Aichi, which group do you want to choose to follow today", "The ground is full of time-traveling troops running around, just now to hone your skills", "This year is 1570, the earliest Sozo, the swordsman who appeared, has lived here for two years." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, how much frightened he was, needn't explain it one by one.

Anyway, it always has to be returned on the next sword that comes.

Seeing that the swords and swords get along well, I am deeply relieved that Saburo will ignore it.His close servant Zongsan Zuowenwen is responsible for delineating the swords outside of Gifu every day, cleaning the location of the time-traveling army, and arranging the location of the expedition. For the dozen swords under his name, Saburo only needs to give the formation of the army. List, there is no need to ask again——Zong Sanzuo's characters are really reliable!

If he becomes a real person and not just Fu Sangshen who cannot be seen by others, I am afraid that this pink-haired swordsman will also be a good hand in internal affairs.

With this understanding, Saburo naturally doesn't care about Sozo's indifferent face (in fact, he never cared about it), and concentrates on the situation in front of him, and sends letters to Akechi Mitsuhide and Takenaka Hanbei every day.As the days passed, most of the retainers who asked to see Saburo became hasty and cautious. Even the lowest-ranking maids in Gifu City could vaguely feel the storm before the outbreak of war.

Fortunately, Shibata Katsuya finally broke through the siege of Rokkaku, killed the whole army of Rokkaku and even killed the good news of Mikumo Sadaji and Motohara Iga Shou, the elders of the Rokkaku Six Family. In the tense atmosphere, it was just a small wave in the Oda family, but it shocked their enemies, and soon the name of "Cuping Shibata" spread all over the country.

It was under such circumstances that Saburo finally received a letter from Hanbei Takenaka with an affirmative answer——

Hori Hidemura, the lord of Sickle Blade Castle, chose to surrender to the Oda family.

This is how the opportunity to attack Qianjing came.

-

...If Hori Hidemura had a choice, he would definitely not want to betray the Asai family.

In fact, he is not optimistic about Oda Nobunaga and the Oda family behind him.Like Asai Nagamasa, he was more inclined to the orthodoxy of the general, so after learning that the general hoped that the daimyos from all over the world would attack Nobunaga, Hori Hidemura immediately stood at Asai's house in support of Asai Nagamasa's betrayal of Oda that side.

Then Asakura also expressed his wish to obey the general, and Rokkaku, who sneaked back to Minami Omi to reorganize the forces, also expressed his attitude of wanting revenge on Oda, which undoubtedly convinced him of the correctness of his judgment at the time.If it was another ten days and a half in the morning, don't talk about persuading him to betray Asai and switch to Oda, those who just praised Oda Nobunaga in his ears would be thrown out by him.

However, it is a pity that such inflated self-confidence was only available in the past.

As early as more than half a month ago, Nagamasa Asai did not know what was affected, and became suspicious.All retainers and maids who approached his room rashly would be scolded by him, and Princess Ashi, who had lost her political significance, was also detained at Asai's house and refused to return.After repeated cleanings in Xiaogu City, several spies have been washed out, and they were all beheaded on the spot. The bloody scene made many maids have nightmares.There were even rumors that the spies of the Oda family who were hiding in Otani Castle had not been found out and could take his life at any time. That's why Asai Nagamasa changed his gentleness and generosity to become ruthless.

Of course, Hori Hidemura would not listen to any rumors.But he was also really scared by the uncalmness of Governor Asai.He didn't tell anyone else, but he had a faint premonition in his heart that the Asai family would lose—in this era, people who are not calm can't achieve great things.

In order to avoid possible reprimands at any time, he quickly accepted Asai Nagamasa's arrangement and went to the junction of Mino and Omi to defend the castle—during the period when he was guarding the castle, he once owned three thousand pieces of money in Asai's family. Shigeharu Takenaka (Hanbei Takenaka), a well-paid guest general who later resigned inexplicably on the grounds of living in seclusion, also came to his door!

Before Horihide Village found out, his old Naofa Higuchi had already brought people into the city out of past affection, and was even quickly persuaded by Hanbei Takenaka to work with him as a lobbyist. Persuade Hori Hidemura to surrender Oda Nobunaga!By the time Horishide found out that there was an outsider, the two of them had already sat in front of him and talked with him about the benefits of the Oda family!

What is it all about!

Hori Hidemura deeply felt that he had been tricked by his own people!

Hanbei Takenaka appeared when he was in the Kanezaki Palace. Although he was Hashiba Hideyoshi's military adviser at that time (the palace army was all dominated by Hideyoshi in name), it can be confirmed that he became an official in Oda after he lived in seclusion.Even if Horixiu Village didn't realize it beforehand, taking an enemy person in its own city at such an urgent time would still be a heavy time bomb.

But it doesn't matter if Takenaka is the one, it's mainly Naobo Higuchi!He could kill Takenaka secretly, but the elder Higuchi who has always been valued by him, would he also die at this juncture? Let alone his deep affection for Higuchi, it is impossible to do it.Even if he really made up his mind to cut off the heads of these two people who had fallen to the Oda family, what reason would he use to explain Higuchi's sudden death to Nagamasa Asai?

Asai Nagamasa arranged for "two" of them to guard the castles in Kamaba!

If it was Asai Nagamasa in the past, Hori Hidemura would still be able to maintain his trust and dare to tell the truth.But now Asai Nagamasa has even cleaned up the Kotani Castle where he lives, which really makes Hori Hidemura feel uneasy.

Such anxiety naturally cannot escape Takenaka's eyes.He didn't even bring any guards with him, allowing himself to take risks alone, he was sure that Hori Xiucun would not dare to kill him.

In the matter of persuading him to surrender, he was sure to win.

Oda Nobunaga may be at a slight disadvantage against Asai Nagamasa.However, among the roads from Gifu to Otani Castle, the Scythe Blade Castle where Horihide Village is located must be taken down first as a stronghold for attacking Otani Castle.

If it is Asai Nagamasa's army, it will probably have the power to fight against the Kami Oda army.But as far as the current situation is concerned, Liujiao has been defeated and has no vitality for the time being, so Asai can only wait for Asakura's response.In the coming war, the only one who can and will surely seize the first opportunity is Oda.

Once Oda sends troops and Sickle Castle falls, Asai Nagamasa will not and cannot rescue them.

What's more, the depth of the Oda family's heritage is far beyond everyone's imagination-it takes years to cultivate a ninja who can send letters to a heavily guarded city.

Oda with such background, can Asai really shake him? Even if Asai and Asakura allied forces, Oda's odds of winning are far beyond everyone's imagination! !

Putting the letter that Saburo wrote to himself in front of Hori Hidemura, he didn't pay attention to the shocked expression of the lord of Kamaba Castle, Takenaka Hanbei just looked at the stem in the teacup indifferently.

After about a quarter of an hour, he heard Hori Hidemura painfully agreeing to surrender.

——Send a letter to the invisible sword Fusangshen hides merit and fame deeply.

Relying on the sword to pay for the daily expedition (message delivery) of the mourning gods, Hanbei Takenaka quickly passed the good news to Saburo.Having started preparations a long time ago and waiting for the arrival of this letter, Saburo immediately issued an order to dispatch the army, and set off from Gifu on June 6 with an army of about 19.

Before setting off, he also sent someone to deliver a letter to Ieyasu Tokugawa, agreeing to present the soldiers in Sistergawa—because Saburo had not set foot in the territory of the Tokugawa family (Mikawa, Enjiang, Suruga) after he had his own sword, this letter delivery was finally It is very normal to send someone to ride there.

The terrain of Sickle Blade City is superior, just behind Yan'an City and Changbi City.Originally, the three cities could respond to each other to facilitate maximum resistance to the enemy.As a sincerity to fight against the Oda family together, the Asakura Army sent troops from Echizen to the border between Omi and Mino, and stationed in Kana Castle and Chobi Castle.

...And because the Asakura army is not familiar with the terrain, the guards of these two cities are Hori Hidemura and Higuchi.

One can imagine how insane this kind of personnel arrangement is.In short, when Endo Naosuke, who originally guarded the two castles, knew, Kanajo Castle, Chobi Castle, and Kamba Castle had all fallen into the pockets of the Oda family, and even an extra Sukawa Castle was beaten.From the perspective of cost performance alone, they are all standard value for money, and they also come with buy one get three free.

After taking over these cities, the Oda Army's road to Xiaogu Castle can be said to be almost unimpeded.

It's too late for the Asai family to stop Oda's penetration!

Compared with Oda's nearly [-] troops, Asai, who has only [-] soldiers, is absolutely irresistible!

However, Asai Nagamasa, who seemed suspicious in the eyes of his retainers recently, and who seemed to be in a bad position in the defense of Oda this time, actually did not get nervous about the sudden crisis.

Even the advantages that Saburo has won so far are all taken for granted in his opinion-this must be taken for granted, who made this person Ashi's elder brother!

Only the current hero can gain the wholehearted trust and respect of that beautiful girl.If he was dispatched quietly and was defeated by the Asai family, such a Nobunaga would not be worthy of Ashi's concern.

Asai Nagamasa thought so.

"Ask for reinforcements from Asakura." It's just a pity that if he wants to win the final victory, he can't be dispatched here to confront Nobunaga head-on-making such a decision, Asai Nagamasa quickly issued an order, "Stick to Kotani City, don't move!"

At the same time, Saburo also said to his retainers: "Very well—then, everyone, come up with a way to get Asai out of the city!"

A man with a sword hides merit and fame deeply.

To be reasonable, they also sent a letter.

This chapter is like this: Takenaka persuades Hori Hidemura to take you and surrender to us with Sickle City!Hori Hidemura agreed.Then Asakura just happened to come, and Horihide Village was in charge of not only the Kamaba Castle, but also the Kana Castle and the Chobi Castle... and then brought them together and threw them at Oda!Oda, who originally only wanted one city, suddenly brought three cities home, which was a huge sale.

Second more!
