I quickly returned to Jiechuan City and immediately called the retainers to have a meeting. My first sentence was, 'It's going to change.'

All the retainers looked at the weather outside, but there was no change.

Ishikawa Goemon, ‘Lord, according to my thirty years of experience, it will not rain in the past two days. There will be no typhoons this season.’

‘What I said is that His Highness Oda Nobunaga is going to carry out a joint joint between Gongwu.’

Takenaka Half-Baiwei sighed, "His Highness Nobunaga never wants to surrender to others. It's a matter of time before the Gongwu fusion is combined. But it's too early to carry out the Gongwu fusion now."

‘That’s not. His Highness Nobunaga is preparing to take over the Miyo Family. The Hatano family and the Asai family pacified Kinki before joining the Gongwu merger. I have been assigned as the general to attack the Hatano family. The Miyo Family and the Asai family are under the charge of Ninoha Nagahide and Shibata Katsuya respectively. I think Kinki will be completely pacified in two years at most.’

Takenaka Banbuye thought for a moment, 'It was changed to me, and defeated the Maori family and the Uesugi family before the Gongwu merged. These two families have always been the pioneers of the ranks of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, and have always had a close relationship with the court. There is also the ambitious family of Takeda Shingen, Takeda. His Highness Nobunaga was still too anxious.'

Ke'er said, 'I understand His Highness Nobunaga's thoughts. If you only think of Guan Bai, the Minister of the Taizheng or the General of the Conquering the Wild, what is the difference between His Highness Nobunaga and the traitors in the past? Only by going further can you show the difference between His Highness Nobunaga and others. After taking over the entire Kinki territory, the Oda family controlled one-sixth of the country's land and wealth. Whether those so-called king-respecting and expelling the barbarians or ambitious families, they will find a reason to jump out to Luo. Does it need a reason to go to Luo? Instead, it is better to take the lead in implementing the Gongwu fusion, and some benefits for the retainers, so that someone will work for the Oda family.'

Takenaka Half-Baiwei nodded, "What Keercaizang said makes sense. I'm too cautious. Let's first study the situation of the Hatano family. The land controlled by Tanba is 280,000 stones, and the number of peasant soldiers that can be collected is only 6,000, which is more than our Kudo family. However, this is only in terms of quantity, and the combat power is not worth mentioning. Only about one thousand people are truly capable of combat power. However, the Hatano family's Hatano family's high walls and deep walls still have some hard work on defense. If they attack hard, they are afraid that the losses will be too great."

I asked, ‘Can’t you use super firecrackers to hit it, just like the mountain city of Great Hanoi?’

Ishikawa Goemon shook his head, "No, I have been to Hachikaka Castle, where the walls are much higher than the Yama Castle of Okanoi, and firecrackers cannot be as high as that."

'That really turned out to set off fireworks. Fortunately, there were reinforcements from Ikeda Hokkai and Morikecheng, but they would not come after winter.' Ikeda Hokkai and Morikecheng were both generals of the Oda family. According to the requirements of the Oda family, at least one thousand troops must be sent during combat. However, some of them must be farm soldiers. Ikeda Hokkai and Morikecheng, and it is really difficult to raise a thousand samurai with their financial resources. Ikeda Hokkai is also Oda Nobunaga's breast brother. Apart from the fertile land he received, Oda Nobunaga did not take special care of him.

Jinson was approaching, 'My lord, since there are reinforcements, I can not be busy sending troops. Didn't my lord ask me to buy grain in Kinki? I have not been to the neighborhood of Tanba, but they must have heard of the news. I will go to Tanba again and buy all their stored grains at a high price, and then send troops to Tanba before the foreign grain arrived in Tanba, so that we can just carry out cage battles.'

‘Fight for a fight with no food.’ I thought of the Yizi and the like written in the ancient book, and asked the retainers in a low voice, ‘Is this too cruel?’

Shima Katsumoto said seriously, "Lord, why do you have the kindness of a woman like Kenshin Uesugi? What I do with a sword instead of a salt in the battle with a public war is nonsense. Only by defeating the enemy is true, and the others are all fake. The methods of fighting in the cage have been around for hundreds of years, and there will be still in hundreds of years."

‘You are right. The greatest happiness in life is to chase your enemies everywhere, invade their land, plunder their wealth, and listen to the cry of their wives and children.’

The retainers nodded and thought to themselves, ‘This is our lord.’

In the winter of the sixth year of Echonrachi, the Kudo family's battle against the Hatano family officially kicked off.

The first step is to buy grain from Kinson Changjin to Danbo. This attack is quiet but more dangerous than swords.

After the winter began at the end of November, in order to cooperate with Jin Sen, I delayed the entry into the Tamba Kingdom. The two reinforcements, Hiroki Ikeda and Kozen Mori, also arrived at Keikawa Castle at the same time at the end of November.

Ikeda Hengxing is Oda Nobunaga's breasts brother. This retainer Oda Nobunaga's most trusted retainer is a demon king. The first thing he did when he arrived in Shuechuan Castle was to eat. 'Brother Xingichi, hurry up and prepare to order food. We have not eaten yet after leaving Kyocho. More than 2,000 people have been hungry for a long time.'

'Brother, you won't say you didn't prepare food and grass. The reinforcements brought their own food for two months was the order of His Highness Oda.' Looking at Hiroki Ikeda shouting weakly, it was indeed like he had been hungry for a long time.

Yoshihiko Ikeda defended him, 'I'm ready. My Lord Mori Kecheng and I have prepared food for three months. But when we passed by Kyocho, someone was collecting food at a high price. My Lord Mori Kecheng and I saw that the price was pretty good, so we sold all the food. Anyway, you don't lack this little food here.'

I was speechless. It was the people I sent to collect the food. They actually sold it to me and wanted to eat mine. I was not a mistake. "I came here, I will give two leftover rice balls for Lord Ikeda at noon."

Yoshihiko Ikeda was furious, "Brother Xingyi is too heartless. How could you do this?"

‘How did I do it, so how did I do it? Do you know how many people outside can’t even eat rice balls? I was moved by the people who were like the New Year. Do you know?’

'I know, but when we fought against Sanhe and fought against Yuanjiang, we were not all of them coming from big fish and meat. I firmly resisted the Kudo family being unkind and implemented double standards for friendly forces. I want to protest, I want to protest. Alas, why are you doing for me to have a ribcage?'

'Don't you want to have a septile? Of course, I'll give you a knife. I'll ask Yayoi Shizhouzhai, the best swordsman in my family, to give you a mistake. Don't worry, the disciple of Nobukazumi, guarantees that you will not suffer at all. Master Mori Kecheng has been watching, and can be used as a verbal evidence.'

Sen Kecheng watched us perform a sketch for a long time, and then said, "Ah, what, I've had eye disease again recently, and I didn't see anything. By the way, when will we start eating? Now we are old and hungry, we have to eat three meals a day, so we have to eat three meals a day. I'm trouble."

‘Old slutty.’ I said together with Hiroki Ikeda.

With the arrival of Hiroki Ikeda and Mori Kecheng, the dinner in Shuikawa Castle was a little earlier. In order to celebrate the arrival of friendly troops, Football added a dish.

After dinner, Ikeda Hirohiko who was lying on the tatami mat and Mori Kecheng, who had been burping, came to Tianshou Pavilion to discuss the military affairs.

Yoshiki Ikeda touched his stomach with satisfaction. He didn't get in vain for hunger that day, and finally got a good meal. 'Brother Xingyi, I think you haven't prepared yet. Are we here too early?'

'I've done it a long time ago, but you didn't see it. The person you met on the road to collect food is mine, and the Tamba Kingdom has sent someone to collect food. In two days, the Hatano family should know the news of your arrival, and it will be up to us.'

Mori Kecheng burped, 'It turns out that he is preparing to cage the city. This time he may have gotten cheaper from Lord Kudo again.'

‘No wonder we were so angry when we met.’ Yoshihiro Ikeda said with an excuse, ‘But we won’t buy back the sold food and grass, and we can’t pay back the money.’

‘I’ve become angry. I haven’t paid back the 2,000 chunks of money you have borrowed over the years. I haven’t said anything.’

Mori Kecheng was shocked and his hiccup stopped, 'My Lord Ikeda, you borrowed two thousand guan!!'

‘What’s wrong?’ said Yoshihiko Ikeda, ‘It’s almost the same number when it goes back and forth, I haven’t counted it in detail.’

‘My Lord Kudo also lends me a thousand guan. My daughter is very beautiful.’
