Chapter 33: Rebellion

The Hexao family was at a disadvantage in the years of confrontation with the Asai family. The Hexao family, which was already surviving, not only did they flee in panic after learning that Oda, Asai, Asakura, and Tokugawa coalition forces were in trouble, but instead burst into great courage and summoned 7,000 peasant soldiers from the Minami Oe Kingdom to fight to the death with the 40,000 coalition forces outside the Guanyin Temple Castle.

However, there are always very few people who don’t know how to advance and retreat. Hexao Yoshiki’s greatest help to the city lord of Hino Castle, Pu Sheng Dingxiu was obviously a hero. While the Hexao family was launching a formation to prepare for a decisive battle, Pu Sheng Dingxiu led two thousand people under his command to rebel, seized the Guanyin Temple City, and cut off the Hexao family’s retreat. The Hexao family’s formation was in chaos, and Hexao Yoshiki and his son led the remnants to retreat into the Kaga Mountain.

The matter will start when Oda Nobunaga announced the rebellion of Kanluo a month ago. Since I and Yoshiken and I were neighbors, Oda Nobunaga asked me, "Kudo, what kind of people are the father and son of the Hexao family on Kanluo Road? Is it possible to surrender?"

'Helloka family, father and son, can only be said that the Hexao family is one of the few people who cannot see the general trend of the world. If the Lieutenant General of the Right Guard, the Hexao family will definitely fight to the death. However, the Lieutenant General of the Right Guard can rest assured that the Hexao family has been competing for the position of Kinki overlord a few years ago, and in recent years, they have fought with the Asai family to the death. Apart from the group of ninjas of Koga, I really can't think of any reinforcements for the Hexao family. The Hexao family can summon only 8,000 peasant soldiers, and each of us drowned them with one spit."

Oda Nobunaga nodded and fell into a brief meditation, "If it were Hexao Family Cang City, we wouldn't be able to wait. Staying behind would be a disaster."

'Don't worry, Lieutenant General of the Right Guard, I have some friendship with Pu Sheng Dingxiu, the lord of the Hino City of the Hejiao family. According to my observation, the Pu Sheng family can still see the general trend of the world clearly. You can sleep here. If you fight in the field, you will let Pu Sheng Dingxiu turn against the water to occupy the Guanyin Temple City in the face of the battle and cut off the Hejiao family's retreat. It will be easier for the Hejiao family to cage the city. Just let Pu Sheng Dingxiu fool the city gate.'

Oda Nobunaga agreed to the opinions of the father and son of Pusheng, but the conditions offered were a little short. After the demise of the Hexao family, the Pusheng family could only maintain their original territory, and they would be rewarded for their meritorious service in the future. As the old city lord of the family, they would meet the Oda family and they would have to hand over the hostages. The most difficult thing is the hostage. Pusheng Dingxiu's son Pusheng Kenshui is almost thirty years old, and it seems that he is too old to be a hostage again.

Everything was the same. I disguised myself as a businessman and secretly entered Hino Castle with a gift to the Pusheng family. Just like the information Ishikawa Yoemon got, I couldn't tell who was a peasant soldier and who was a niche in Hino Castle by just looking at the light equipment. It should be said that except for a few samurai, the rest was almost exactly the same as the peasant soldier's equipment - that is, there was no equipment.

When I saw Pu Shengxianxiu who received me, I said the first thing I said was, "I am here this time to save the lives of Pu Sheng's family."

Pu Shengxianxiu nodded, "The incident of Oda's family's Shangluo has been rumored to be very rumored. My father had already retired, but for the sake of Pu Sheng's family, he still had to come out again and discuss this matter at Guanyin Temple City."

‘Since Lord Pu Sheng knows it, I will just say it. I’m going to be a member of Kudo Shinichi, Oda family, and the lord of Ogaki City, Mogucheng. I think Lord Pu Sheng has heard of me, and they are all old neighbors.’

‘Oh. It turns out that he is the lord of Ogaki City, His Highness Kudo. On his 50th birthday, his father sent someone to send ten iron cannons.’ Hensoo Pu Sheng obviously still remembers the old story two years ago.

‘It’s me. I’m a little bit of a little. This time I brought more than this number, one hundred iron cannons, fifty sets, and two hundred wooden pill bows. That’s great.”

Pu Sheng Xianxiu still understood the truth that there is no free lunch in the world and asked, "Do you want us to transfer to the Oda family? It's not that we can't consider it." Obviously, he was already moved in front of the sugar-coated cannonballs.

I lowered my voice and said evilly, "It's not just a simple transfer to officialdom, but a Pu Sheng family is required to reverse the situation. Only when the Hexake family dies can the Pu Sheng family survive. Anyway, my lord, Lieutenant General Oda Nobunaga, means this. The Pu Sheng family maintains its existing territory after the war and meets the Oda family as the old city lord. Only when he makes military achievements can he be rewarded. Of course, the hostages must be handed over, but since Lord Dingxiu retires, there should be no problem for you to hand over a son to be a hostage."

When Pu Shengxianxiu heard that Pu Sheng's family was going to do something like a rebellion in the last battle, her face suddenly turned red and white. Finally, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "No problem, but your gift should be added 50%." Obviously, there is still some controversy over the body selling fee. For me, as long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is a small problem.

I laughed, 'I have told His Highness the Right Guard that the Pu Sheng family is different from the Hexao family. Those who know the times are heroes. Lord Pu Sheng is worthy of being a hero. The remaining gifts will be delivered in a few days. Don't worry, Lord Pu Sheng."

On the way back to Inaya Mountain Castle to report, there was a five-year-old child in my team. Pu Sheng Xianxiu's eldest son Tsuru Chiyo.

While Pu Sheng Dingshui was rebelling against the water to capture Guanyin Temple Castle, Pu Sheng Kenshui led my subordinate Ishikawa's ninja army to trick the Hexao family into Sakamoto Castle. At this point, the Hexao family was removed from the names of the nations.

The first person to enter Kyotocho to maintain public order was still my subordinates, the surprise soldiers of Izumi Nobutsu, the Shinjin River Dojo. These people arrived in Kyotocho in batches long before the Oda family assembled, with the purpose of protecting the future property of the Oda family in Kyotocho. If the Sanhao Nagao went crazy, burned Kyotocho, kidnapped the Emperor, and held the general hostage, we would not have come in vain. Because my troops were the first to enter the city, I was also appointed as the Kyoto to pursue a position.

After the Hexao family lost Guanyin Temple and Sakamoto Castle in one day, the swordsmen trained by Shinjinru organized themselves to kill the retainers and sniper messengers of the Miyo family in Kyocho. Miyo Nagaki even received news of the rapid destruction of the Hexao family after the Oda family pioneer Zhongshida Katsuya arrived in Nijo Castle.

Miyoshi Nagaki from Iimoshi Castle received news that the Oda family had wiped out the Riko family in one day. After the pioneers arrived in Nijo Castle, they were furious and said, "I'm sending an order that all the troops of Kinki in the Shikoku country gathered between Iimoshi Castle and Katsuraji Castle to fight to the death with Oda and Asakura kid. At worst, I'll just have another Yingren rebellion."

If you want to say that the Miyoshi family now has vassals, the number of peasants that can gather is definitely more than 30,000. If you let it go, it is really impossible for anyone to win. However, the Miyoshi family also has his difficulties. My old Iwamura Tomoto stood up with a bitter face like a dead person at home, "Your Highness, it's not the time to fight with Oda, Asai, and Asakura. It's true that our family can gather 35,000, but recently the rebellion of Nagatozo Motoki of Tosa Kingdom has restrained the four.

Most of the country's troops. If you give up the foundation of the four countries in order to fight Oda, Asai, Asakura, it would be more than worth the loss. You might as well retreat to Kazuo for a while. The coalition forces will win civil strife for a long time, and it will not be too late for us to come back.’ As Iwamura Tomoto said, the Nagazozo of the Tosa Kingdom, my tribe of the Sanhao family almost restrained more than half of the direct troops. Now, as long as the Sanhao family withdraws troops from the Four Kingdoms today, the Four Kingdoms will change their surname to Nagazo tomorrow.

Oda Nobunaga's large army finally arrived in Kyotocho, but except for the fame teams of the retainers, the remaining troops could only be stationed outside Sakamoto Castle. In order to hold the welcoming ceremony for Oda Nobunaga to enter Kyotocho, I took great pains to do so. First, I bought a group of old, young, women and children for a day for three cents, and fought on both sides of the road with the five-wheeled papaya small flag of the Oda family and the large banners filled with welcome to Oda Nobunaga. When Oda Nobunaga's flag team passed by, he shouted.
