"A clever plan." Asahita praised the first one, "Your Highness the governor of the family is very short of a plan. If Oda Nobunaga comes to attack, there will be no chance of being spared. If we do not attack, we will divide our troops and advance together to gain the advantage."

"What if the Oda army turned to attack our ranger instead of attacking our team?" Matsuhira Motoyasu asked, worried about the safety of his troops.

"Then please rely on Dagaocheng and Narutohai City to defend. When the troops of our formation arrive, you can attack them from front to back. Your Highness is no less than the entire Oda army, so don't worry." Yu Qiuping had already made a plan.

"Just... let Your Highness serve as bait... it's always a risky battle." Semei Shi Toshi still felt that it was inappropriate.

"Your Highness Seine is relieved, and I have prepared a complete plan." Yu Qiuping smiled slightly and said confidently, "But it is confidential. After the meeting, your Highness will personally inform the family of the family."

"Is there any problem?" Imakawa Yoshimoto asked with a smile. Everyone was impressed by this plan and leaned over to express their obedience.

"If you have no problems, please go and have a good rest tonight." Imakawa Yoshimoto made a decision; "All will follow the plan tomorrow morning!"

After the evaluation meeting, Imakawa Yoshimoto left four confidant officials, Yuqiehei, Senashi Toshi, Asahinata Taisor, and Okabe Masato (as the representative of Okabe Motonobu), to inform everyone of the secret of Wanquanzhisang. After everyone left, Yuqiehei and Senashi Toshi were asked to stay again.

"Sename, tonight, the ninja will be dispatched to monitor everyone!" Imakawa Yoshimoto said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it yet, that traitor will not act until tonight!"

After Senashi Toshi left, Yu Qiuhei was left again.

"Your Highness, I don't know what else?" Yu Qiuping asked in confusion.

"In a flash, Yuqiu has become an amazing guy!" Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled with some relief, "Trust your daughter to a responsible person like you, Feng will definitely be happy."

"Your Highness... why did you say this suddenly?" Yu Qiuping laughed in silence.

"Nothing," Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "Old, old, sentimental. I would like to remind you again, no matter when, you must remember to make a choice without regrets!"

On the evening of May 17th, Zhang Guo was in the Tianshou Pavilion in Qingzhou.

Since four days ago, Seizao, who was lurking in Sankawa, has not sent any news back. All the Imakawa family castles on the border of Sankawa Ohara were also martial law. Even the several wealthy families such as Masatoshi Kata, who had always had close ties with the family, had no news. The Oda family couldn't help but feel a little nervous, worried about whether the Imakawa family would do anything. For this reason, Oda Nobunaga also strengthened the siege of Naruhira Castle and Otaka Castle, and ordered the defenders of Iwahara to attack without authorization, so as not to be defeated by the Imakawa family last year and transported grain into the Naruhira Castle again.

This evening, Oda Nobunaga once again convened the senior officials to hold an evaluation meeting to discuss how to step up the siege of Naruto and Otaka Castle. Everyone had arrived, but Takigawa Ichie was not delayed. The meeting originally scheduled to be held at the 7th hour of Shenshi had to be delayed again and again. It was not until the 3rd hour of You that Takigawa Ichie hurried to the evaluation hall.

"Hanyoumon, you are becoming less and less arrogant." After seeing Takigawa Ichie arrive at the door, Oda Nobunaga angrily scolded: "It's fine if you always violate the industry rules, even important assessment meetings, do you dare to be late?"

Takigawa Ichii's face was pale and he knelt in front of Oda Nobunaga without saying a word, kowtowing and apologizing.

"Forget it, there's no need to do that." Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, "Get up."

However, Takigawa Ichii still did not get up, but his body kept shaking.

"What's wrong?" Oda Nobunaga's face tightened, as if he realized why Ichii Takigawa, who was in charge of the information at home, was panicked like this.

"Lord..." Takigawa Ichie tried hard to maintain the stability of his voice and whispered: "Imakawa Yoshimoto personally led more than 30,000 people, rose up to attack Kuraku on May 12th, and now he has arrived in Okazaki Castle."

As soon as this statement was made, the entire evaluation room exploded. The Imakawa family's intention to martial law at the border for several days was to hide the army's actions!

The total 30,000 troops were more than three times the number of Oda's family! Tokaido's first bow took Imakawa Yoshimoto and personally fought against Ohashi. Such overwhelming posture scared everyone to the point of being at a loss. Such a poor force was definitely not something the Oda family could resist. The Oda family was already facing a catastrophe.

After a moment of panic, the important officials in the assessment room immediately shouted and quarreled. Some people asked to make a desperate bet and attack Minghai Castle before the Imakawa family attacked, and then fought to the death. Some people shouted that resistance was unrealistic, so it was better to temporarily rely on the Imakawa family and stay in the mountains without worrying about no firewood. In fact, they planned to surrender. The vast majority of people asked to gather troops across the country immediately to defend, but they could not argue at the defending location. Some wanted to guard the five forts on the border, some wanted to guard the Kuno Castle, and more people advocated the steadfast of Kiyono in Kiyoshi, and some even asked to escape to Oda Nobuki's defense.

For a moment, the scene was very chaotic. The important officials such as Ninoha Nagahide, Shibata Katsuya, Takigawa Ichiyi all held their own opinions and were stalemate. The quarrels were mixed with scoldings and scoldings, and they were heard in the room. After a long time, people gradually emerged. Oda Nobunaga, who should have been the most anxious, was sitting in the main seat, holding his chin with his hand, watching everyone quarrel with a profound meaning, without saying a word. So the important officials slowly calmed down and silently turned their eyes to Oda Nobunaga.

"Please make a decision for the lord." Lin Xiuzhen, who was also silent and sat beside him, said, "It's a battle, a defense, and a harmony. Everyone is waiting for the lord to say something."

However, to everyone's surprise, Oda Nobunaga suddenly laughed a few times, straightened up, and casually said "After a break", he took the young surnames out of the evaluation room.

At that moment, a deep sense of despair and sorrow arose in the hearts of everyone present. At the moment, the big fool lord refused to make any decision, but instead waved his sleeves. The retainers lost their backbone, whether to fight or defend, and they had no idea what to do. They probably already felt that the Oda family was about to perish here. Except for Ninoha Nagahide and others, they were unwilling to stay and ask for their lord again. The others shook their heads, sighed, and left the evaluation room.

"Your Highness Lin, what are the instructions?" Several people dressed in ninjas were immediately attracted by Lin Xiuzhen after returning to the mansion. Lin Xiuzhen was the old master of the Oda family, and was also the old minister who followed the Oda family since the time of Oda Nobuhide, and was also the only remaining important minister of the orphanage of Nobuhide. He himself was also the teacher of Oda Nobunaga. However, for some unknown reason, he stood on the side of Oda Nobuhide's side in the battle between Oda Nobunaga and his younger brother Nobuhide. After his defeat, he was forgiven by Oda Nobunaga and re-accepted as a retainer.

"What's the movement of the three people I asked you to monitor?" Lin Xiuzhen asked in a low voice.

"As soon as the Assessment Meeting of Yeonji ended, he slipped away toward Mikawa." A ninja whispered, "The other two people are as usual, and there is no change."

"Follow your attention, don't relax." Lin Xiuzhen reminded her, thought for a moment, and then said: "From tonight, you will transfer all the hostages sent by the wealthy families in Qingzhou City to Tsushima, and hide the secret shops left by the old lord. If Imakawa's army really attacks, they must not easily get these hostages."

"Yes, Your Highness." Several ninja leaders left one after receiving the order.

At this time, in the Tensou Pavilion of the Kiyoshi Castle, Ninoha Nagahide took Kawajiri Hidetaka, Naomasa, Ikeda Hokkai and other retainers who were from Oda Nobunaga's recent servants kneeling outside Oda Nobunaga's door and requested Oda Nobunaga to meet.

"Your Highness Danyu, the lord said that he has fallen asleep and no one has been seen." A young surname came out and said apologetically to Danyu Nagahide and others shortly after entering the report.

"Please tell your lord! This is the time for the Oda family to survive and die! You must not be as willful as you were when you were a child!" Ninoha Nagahide said with pain, "When will we get up, we will kneel down!"

"Your Highness Danyu..." Xiaoxian shook his head and felt very sorry for the senior. "The lord also said that if Your Highness Danyu insisted on not leaving, let him kneel down. Anyway, he would never get up."

At the same time, Shibata Katsuya Masato rode his horse back to his territory with a angrily moment. As soon as he arrived at the territory, he immediately issued a convening order for the entire leader to angrily.

"Your Highness, what's wrong!" several retainers asked in surprise.

"The entire Imakawa family's army has attacked many people." Shibata Katsuya spat in a muffled voice, "The lord will disperse without caring about anything."

"Your Highness! This... what should we do!" Several retainers were also frightened and asked in a look of their faces.

"Our Shibata family has been the Oda family tree for generations. The old lord treats me as much as a mountain. Quan Liu can only repay his death."

On the evening of the 17th, all the troops sent out early had sent messengers to Okazaki Castle, indicating that they had arrived at the target location smoothly and that all plans were as usual.

In the early morning of the 18th, before sunrise was still coming, the Imakawa army inside and outside Kariya Castle began to operate. Asahinabei and Matsuheibei 45oo people took the lead and marched westward, crossing the Imaki River to Nakaha. Katsuyama also left Okazaki Castle and headed north toward Taga. Asahinabei and Matsuheibei's vanguard left Kariya, the troops of more than 2ooo people from many small families, including Miura and Ogaibei, also left Anxiang Castle and broke out.

Going northwest, he headed straight for Shizuki. The team that came out later was some of the Okabe Masatoki led by Okabe, who escorted a large number of transportation teams and slowly left to the west. When the baggage teams all passed Anxiang, the 13 ooo people from Imagawa's own team, led by Yuqiuhei and Toshi Semei, surrounded by a sedan chair, embarked on the journey of passing Anxiang, Shizuki, and heading to the Takaka.

Among the entire team, Chang Panbei, who belongs to Yu Qiuping, is the most dazzling. The exact same qualities reflect the cold light in the sun. The red leaves above the head, the red leaves behind the flag, and the maple bird and horse seals flying high all declare the pride of this army. The friendly troops around were amazed at Chang Panbei's feet.

Before the night of the 18th, the Imakawa family team finally arrived at the Dagucheng in Ozawa. In time, Yu Qiuping had already moved the troops forward one day before to maximize the accessibility of the road on the 18th, but some of the congestion still occurred. Yu Qiuping simply left enough spares, and all the troops arrived at the location smoothly on the 18th.

After nightfall, the troops who had been tired for a day fell asleep in the barracks, but Yu Qiuping lay on the tatami mat, unable to sleep for a long time, tossing and turning. He felt mixed feelings and had complex emotions. He had expectations and worries about the war, and his excitement for the invincible traps he could use history to set up, ambush Oda Nobunaga, and his gratitude for the trust of Imakawa Yoshimoto. He also had great tension and anxiety for the burden he was about to bear tomorrow. Finally, he had also had his longing for his wife who missed him in the distance.

It was early morning, and Yu Qiuping still couldn't fall asleep, so she simply stood up and walked on the corridor of Tianshou Pavilion, looking at the narrow pavilion fifteen miles away in the west - the magnificent battlefield tomorrow. Yu Qiuping looked at the sky. Today the moon was very round and bright. You could vaguely see the dark clouds in the sky.

It will rain tomorrow.

The 19th day, May 19th day, May 19th year of Yonglu.

I won't remember it wrong.

"Nobunaga, what are you doing now?" Yu Qiuping looked to the northwest, in the direction of Qingzhou City. "Are you going to dance the famous Dunsheng?"

At the beginning of the Instant Time on May 19th, just as the sky was dawn, the Imakawa South Route Army left the camp of Mingawa and headed towards Otaka Castle. Asahinabei attacked Washizu Fort, Matsuheibei attacked Maruko Fort. Asahinabei had as many as 3 ooo, while Matsuheibei had 15 ooo. However, the defenders of Washizu Fort and Maruko Fort had only more than 5 o'clock, and they had to deal with the offensive of more than a thousand Ueden in the castle. It was really hard to resist. Oda Genbo, who was defending Washizu Fort, Iino Tatsuzo, and Sakuma Morijo, who was defending Maruko Fort, immediately sent a messenger to ask for help from Kiyoshi Castle.

At the fourth hour of Yin, the messenger arrived in Qingzhou City.
Chapter completed!
