Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 111

"The Asai family is still holding Miss Ashi..." Ikeda Hengxing knew the meaning of Sanlang's words, but it was still quite difficult for the general to pick up Ashi, "If Xiaogu Castle is captured Miss Ashi can be picked up, but Nagamasa Asai may also want to kill her at that time, and Miss Ashi's safety will not be guaranteed by then."

"Huh. It can't be like this." Saburo immediately retorted, "He can surrender to me."

"...If you want to surrender, you won't continue to fight against you! You didn't expect his betrayal back then!"

"It's two things, two things." Saburo immediately waved his hand to prevent Ikeda Hengxing from continuing to preach, "Ashi should be quite safe now... Asai Nagamasa looks like a man who won't be rough on girls!"

"It can't just be based on appearance!"

"If he was really vicious, Ashi would have turned the Asai family upside down." Saburo ignored the retainer's complaints, "But even if you say that, it's too dangerous to stay in Ashi."

Probably because Ashi was less than three years old when the gentle and gentle Zhen Oda Nobunaga (Akechi Mitsuhide) left, and Oda Nobunaga died too early. After that, the Oda family was completely trapped in the heirs of Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobuyuki. As a mother, Tsuchida Gozen has no way to take her mind off her beloved son Nobuyuki, and mostly let Ashi go.

Therefore, after Oda Nobunaga died and Tsuchida Gozen became a monk, Oda Nobunaga's younger sister, Oda City, took it for granted...under the example of his elder brother Oda Nobunaga (Saburo) and the rare situation of herding the princess , has grown into something quite special.

If you want to generalize, it must be at least... half a Saburo.

Not only because of the same wonderful appearance as Akechi Mitsuhide, but also quite similar to Ashi's appearance, even the character has the same effect on the point - I have to say that Saburo is really Oda Nobunaga. Very successful!

He didn't realize how much influence he had on Ah Shi's character. Even Saburo found it difficult to bear this strange woman who was keen on playing with snakes. There is an eerie confidence.

——I always feel that Ashi can't suffer at all.

He also vaguely understood the real reason why Ashi wanted to stay in Asai's house, but as a straight man, Saburo didn't have the awareness to pay attention to his sister's emotional life at any time, so he thought about it for granted and then left it behind , simply looking at the current situation, said seriously, "Because I have to capture Xiaogu Castle. It would be best if Asai is willing to surrender, but looking at it now, I always feel that it is difficult for them to surrender—that is Just prepare to attack."

In front of his retainers, he spoke frankly as if complaining.

"After all, if you want to rule the world, you must take Xiaogucheng, right? Asai's family is already in the way, but Ashi and her daughter can't just leave it alone—hmm."

The men with swords standing by the side suddenly felt a chill down their backs.

Sure enough, Saburo looked at them the next moment.Because he finally thought of a way, the young man who hadn't seen aging seemed particularly full of vitality: "Bone, take someone to Xiaogu City, Ah Shi, let's steal it!"

Toshiro Toshiro, who was suddenly entrusted with a major mission: "...Ah"

"It should be very simple for a ninja. So I will leave it to you, Ashi." He solemnly patted the shoulder of Toshiro Bonekuku, and Saburo said firmly to the other retainers, "Now we have to prepare how to attack Xiaogu Castle ...It's exhausting no matter how you think about it."

He turned around too smartly, leaving only the skeleton Toshiro choking speechlessly at the task that Saburo had just proposed.

How to sneak in!Did the expedition enter Xiaogu City? There is no way to bring people out in such a state!

... Don't really use Touken Fusangshin as a ninja just because it is rumored that Touken Fusangshin is a ninja!

Fortunately, at this time, Hanbei Takenaka, who knew nothing about the Sangshen, sighed softly, and said calmly and calmly: "Although Xiaogu Castle is isolated and helpless, the defense in the city should still be tight. If you want to send Ashi It would be difficult for a ninja to steal it, Miss."

"is that so"

"That's right." Hanbei Takenaka replied, "Besides, this is the last moment of life and death for the Asai family, and the defense will inevitably be very tight. Even if Miss Ashi is willing to cooperate, I am afraid it will be difficult to get her out of Kotani out of the city."

"There is no other way." Takenaka's words were well-founded, and Saburo believed them decisively, which saved the development of another new function of Sword Fusangshen.

He pursed his lips and frowned, thinking for a while, and then ordered: "That bone guy, go and check on Ashi's situation. Later, Takenaka will write a letter for me and ask Asai Nagamasa if he can get Ashi quickly." Send it out."

This way is the way of normal negotiation.Because Saburo's habit of asking people to write letters at will is well known in the Oda vassal group, Takenaka Hanbei who was sent like this did not show any displeasure, and responded respectfully with lowered eyes, and then pulled out a letter from his sleeve. The letter was already sealed, and he said calmly: "It has been written."

——A person with outstanding resourcefulness is indeed outstanding no matter where he is placed.

Inexplicably, there was an extra task to infiltrate Otani Castle. In front of all the retainers, Toshiro Bonekuro Toshiro had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the letter, calling out all the short knives and wakizashi of Oda Honmaru , For the first time, they assembled a team that was perfectly suitable for night battles, and ran towards Xiaogu City under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Even in the current state where the possibility of being seen and infiltrating is greatly reduced, Token Fusangshen's skills are still very vigorous. Under the gloomy dark clouds, they are like low-flying swallows, and it is almost impossible to see their movements with strength. , can only see that the six men with swords have reached the point of becoming a human in just a few breaths, advancing towards Xiaogu City at a speed that is too fast for humans.

The vassals who lived in the Warring States Period did not know that this had exceeded the limit speed of people in this era. Even if they knew that they could not do such fast movements, they just regarded it as a ninja's special talent at this time, and simply sighed: " Your Highness's ninja is really outstanding."

"Of course." Saburo replied, "because they are my swords."

When he said "my sword", it was like the lord admiring "my hands and feet" to his retainers. Apart from letting the retainers understand that these Koga ninjas (sword men) are strong enough to be valued by Saburo, it didn't arouse anyone. attention.

Except for one—Hanbei Takenaka.

"Is your 'sword'... really rare." He said softly, "This is the first time you describe someone like that."

"It's nothing to pay attention to." Maeda Toshiie, who was famous as Inu Chiyo, was standing next to him, so he heard this sentence with keen ears, and said indifferently, "I am His Highness' dog."

Saburo immediately said: "Inu Chiyo!"

Maeda Toshiie: "Wow!"

Saburo: "You are right. It seems that you usually use 'dogs' to open the way. When you want to attack Xiaogu City later, you should take the lead."

Maeda Toshiie: "No problem! Just leave it to me!"

The conversation between these two people is really smooth, and Maeda Toshiie, who doesn't like being teased by "dog", is not disgusted with the name Saburo, and even feels that "the loyal dog of the Oda family" is quite honorable. Hanbei Takenaka just raised his eyes and looked at the two of them for a while, without interrupting this conversation—in a sense, it was a conversation between the monarch and his ministers.

However, when he lowered his eyes, he still couldn't help but pay part of his attention to the "sword" that Saburo said frankly.

——The master he served, Oda Nobunaga.Although he has always been considered a very willful, talented man, the essence of Oda Nobunaga is very different from many people in this era.

It's like calling Maeda Toshiie a "dog", which is also without any malice. It is simply called as a title corresponding to someone. In essence, it is no different from calling Hori Hidemasa's "Xiaoku" and Akechi Mitsuhide's "Xiaoguang".

Such a person calls others "swords"...and it's not a single person, but a group of people.Even if the status of the Koga ninja is not high, the title "Touken" is not an insult, but considering the character of "Oda Nobunaga" he recognizes, he would not use such a general title for a group of people.Because Oda Nobunaga is a person who can treat someone independently more than anyone else.

Such a personality that is close to treating people equally...may have changed in recent years

And those Koga ninjas, needless to say, are weird in appearance, and the katana on their waists can be called a good product even if it is an imitation katana.

Is it a coincidence that such a knife is equipped with a ninja, or is it "only suitable for these ninjas?" These people who claim to have southern barbarian blood are real ninjas, or——

It's just pretending to be a ninja, what about Oda Nobunaga's "sword"

Takenaka Hanbei didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he didn't think of the magical existence of "Token Fusangshin" all at once, but only searched for the existence of possible sword men in his mind.After some thinking to no avail, he still has doubts about the identity of the sword men Koga ninja, but he doesn't intend to discover the truth at the moment.

At least now that these people are under Saburo's control, Hanbei Takenaka can still see this kind of thing.

In the short time he was distracted, Saburo had already heard the strategy of the retainers about attacking Xiaogu Castle - because Xiaogu Castle was built from the mountains, which is typically easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Oda family is currently not suitable for a long delay. , Most of the suggestions from the retainers were to launch a surprise attack on Xiaogu City.Only a small group of people think that Otani Castle is nothing to fear, and Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was originally stationed at Yokoyama Castle, can besieged Otani Castle, and the rest of the troops can withdraw to Gifu.

Both of these strategies were considered by Hanbei Takenaka, and he personally favored the former one, so after expressing his opinion, he stood quietly in front of Saburo just like the other retainers.

The governor of the Oda family was used to the feeling of being stared at by his retainers, and he sighed a little unmotivated: "Really--if only Asai surrendered to me."

"Your Highness, it is impossible to accept Asai's surrender now. Judging from their previous actions, it is impossible for Asai to surrender."

"That's right." Saburo said, "But Xiaogu City does seem to be a bit difficult... Whether it is a surprise attack or a siege, it will not succeed quickly. It would be great if Xiaogu City can become chaotic."

Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help but said: "It's useless to count on such whimsical things."

"I got it!" Saburo immediately stated his position, "It's just a talk—because Xiaogu City is on a very high terrain here."

After a slight pause, Saburo continued: "It looks like there will be heavy rain...then, tonight, we will launch a surprise attack on Xiaogu City."

Been running around this month...by train and by plane...

There will be an update tomorrow, don't be afraid.I'll try to finish it before I get on the train.

Thanks Mr. S for throwing mines!mwah!Thanks to C995 for throwing mines, huh!Thank you Zi Shihan for throwing mines, okay! !

Then, I'm going to tell you...

Although what he said was whimsical, Xiaogucheng was struck by lightning that day, and then it was in chaos-of course, I don’t know if Nobunaga said like Saburo in history.

Maeda Toshiie was indeed called a "dog" by Nobunaga.
