Chapter 1392 Bloody Suppression of Nanjinjiang
Oda Nobunaga's words frightened Ando Mamoru, and he froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.

At the beginning of the attack on Mino, Oda Nobunaga tried his best to divide the East and West Mino samurai, so that the West Mino samurai would maintain a neutral wait-and-see attitude in their battle with Saito Yoshiryu.

Ando Mamoru was disgusted by Saito Yoshiryu because of his previous convictions for rebellion, so he had to join Oda Nobunaga's command and participated in the siege of Saito Yoshiryu.

But it happened that in that battle, Oda Nobunaga lost half a chip, and had to retreat to the border between Mino Owari and the two countries, and the situation was precarious.

Ando Mamoru played tricks again, and wrote a letter to Inabayama Castle, wanting to be Saito Yoshiryu's internal response, and turned his back on the water again.

But she never expected that Yoshiryu Saito would suddenly die of a sudden illness. The Nishi Mino samurai immediately joined Oda Nobunaga's camp, and the Higashi Mino samurai also gave up resistance and surrendered Inabayama Castle.

And the courier who took her handwritten letter to Inabayama Castle was a person who never saw a dead body.

After many years, this matter has not been exposed, Ando Mamoru thought that the messenger died in the war, and slowly let go of his mind, Taiping was her Oda servant.

But today, Oda Nobunaga's words made her sweat profusely, and she understood the truth. It turned out that the messenger was stopped by Oda Nobunaga.

But Oda Nobunaga insisted on enduring it for several years, and only after he fully grasped the situation in Mino country, did he choose to take the opportunity to launch an attack today.

Beads of sweat dripped from his cheeks, and Mamoru Ando couldn't say a word for a long time.

Oda Nobunaga was interested to see the change in her face. In fact, the letter had been burnt together with the dead messenger long ago, but Mamoru Ando didn't know about it.

When Oda Nobunaga launched the Mino strategy, Owari Mino and the two countries were about the same size. She was unable to swallow the whole Mino in one gulp, so she focused on the land of East Mino.

As we all know, there are four of the three of Ximeno, and they are the four most powerful warriors in Ximeno.Among the four, Oda Nobunaga hates Ando Shoujo the most.

This capricious villain once betrayed Takenaka Shigeharu, Saito Yoshiryu, and Oda Nobunaga, and now he is shameless enough to call himself the leader of the Mino Samurai family, trying to drag Oda Nobunaga back.

Today, Oda Nobunaga wants to exile her and Lin Xiuzhen, the two Mino Owari bosses, to remind the old subordinates of the two countries that they must either keep up with their own footsteps or lose everything.

She looked at Mamoru Ando who kowtowed to the ground with a look of despair, and said lightly.

"You, like Lin Xiuzhen, should be exiled."

Oda Nobunaga only said a few words, and deprived the two important ministers of everything, so that the concubines present did not even dare to breathe.

Looking up at the terrified quails, Oda Nobunaga nodded in satisfaction and clapped his hands. Four Ji warriors walked in outside the door, stood behind the two important ministers, and bowed to Oda Nobunaga.

Lin Xiuzhen and Ando Mamoru gritted their teeth and bid farewell to the lord, maintaining their last dignity, and voluntarily walked out of the meeting hall.

They are obedient and obedient, but they just lose their positions. If they dare to quibble and resist and let Oda Nobunaga find a reason to make trouble, the whole family will suffer.

After they left sadly, Oda Nobunaga continued.

"Katsuie Shibata! Nobumori Sakuma!"

"Hi!" X2
The two important ministers heard Oda Nobunaga's call, and hurried out, without any hesitation.

Shibata Katsuie, like Lin Xiuzhen, was once a supporter of Oda Nobuyuki's rebellion.Even though she knew that Lin Xiuzhen's fate was caused by the lord's excuse, she still instinctively felt trembling.

Lin Xiuzhen and she are both veteran ministers left behind by Oda Nobunaga's mother, and now seeing Lin Xiuzhen being exiled, how dare she take credit for it and be proud, and can only obey orders honestly.

Sakuma Nobumori was even more frightened than Shibata Katsuie. He was sweating profusely, and his back clothes were already soaked.

She and Lin Xiuzhen have always sang together. As an old warrior, she prides herself on her achievements, and she also complains about the fast-paced expansion of the Oda family.

The same yin and yang eccentricity loves to sing a different tune. Seeing Lin Xiuzhen's end, she was terrified.

She can't be compared with Shibata Katsuie, Shibata Katsuie is the number one fierce general in the Oda family, the leader of the Owari generals, who is powerful in combat and has repeatedly made military exploits. Oda Nobunaga values ​​it very much.

And Sakuma Nobumori has gradually slackened over the years, which is exactly what Oda Nobunaga said, the type of person who lay flat on the credit book and waited to die, how could she not be afraid.

Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga didn't want to continue to expand the scope of attack, but just talked about the serious business.

"The two of you each mobilize your troops and immediately lead your troops to Minami Omi. Sakuma Nobumori goes to Yongyuan Castle, Shibata Katsuie goes to Chokoji Temple, and gather all the samurai families in Minami Omi who are still loyal to me.

The Nanjinjiang riot this time is a great opportunity to clean up the local area. The Liujiao mother and daughter have already set up flags and gathered troops in Yezhou Heyuan, and all those idiots who refused to accept my family's rule have jumped out.

Quan Liu, haven't you been complaining that I treat Minami Omi's samurai family favorably, that Owari's old heroes can't get some good land in Nanomi?
Now, here's your chance.

I appointed you as the general of Minami Omi counter-insurgency, and Sakuma Nobumori as the deputy general. How much military service you can achieve and how much territory you can take depends on your own abilities! "

As soon as Oda Nobunaga said this, Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori forgot to be afraid, and showed surprise expressions at the same time.

In the Battle of Shangluo, the Oda family and the Asai Shiba family cooperated to defeat the Rokkaku family in Shangluo.But afterwards, the Oda Takeshi who participated in the war did not get much benefit.

For one thing, the Nanjinjiang Wu family was displeased with Liujiao's mother and daughter's disorderly government, and turned their backs and surrendered one after another, so that the Shangluo coalition forces had no chance to wipe out several powerful families and seize their land.

Secondly, the Liujiao family was defeated too quickly. In the battle of Guanyin Temple City, Shibo Yiyin City performed miracles, and Kamo Hyun-hide took the opportunity to rebel at the top of the city, securing the victory in one fell swoop.

Without enough military merit, it is natural not to be able to get a substantial reward.

In addition, Oda Nobunaga was a little cautious when he was new to the Oda family at that time.She dispatched Niwa Chohide to appease the samurai family in Minami Omi, laying down a foundation, and did not allow the generals to kill indiscriminately.

This time, the Liujiao mother and daughter rebelled, and those Minami Omi who couldn't stand the new policy of the Oda family chose to fall back to the Liujiao family again, in order to expel the power of the Oda family.

This gave Oda Nobunaga an excuse to uproot these people to avoid future troubles.

The Oda family has been running Nanjinjiang for more than a year, and the local samurai families who are willing to join the Oda family have already recruited them.

The rest of the local samurai who were unwilling to hang out with the Oda family, who were perfunctory and disliked the New Deal, also jumped out this time.

Oda Nobunaga deliberately did not send Niwa Nagahide who is familiar with Minami Omi's samurai circle, but sent General Owari to Minami Omi in order to slaughter those capricious guys and wipe out the roots.

Shibata Katsuya and these Owari veterans are full of thoughts about grabbing money, food, land, and men.

They are from Owari, and have nothing to do with the Minami Omi Samurai family, and they won't frown even if they kill all the locals, and they might even deliberately create some unjust cases to make room for themselves and add more points to their military achievements.

Niwa Nagahide, who was on the side, was startled, and just about to come out and say something, but was stared at by Oda Nobunaga's cold eyes and dared not move.

Niwa Chohide has been active in the South Omi for a long time, and he has a good relationship with the local samurai family, and he has indeed attracted many people for the Oda family.

This time, if Shibata Katsuya's talents are allowed to kill the local samurai family whose heart is attached to Oda, it will not be worth the candle.

But Oda Nobunaga didn't think so, she still had a lot of work to do, and it was impossible for her to be tied up forever by Minami Omi.

Kill the Minami Omi samurai so that they dare not resist, just be willing to be the running dogs of the Oda family. As for whether they have hatred in their hearts, huh, are there not many people who hate Oda Nobunaga?Are they ranked high?

Mu Qiang from the samurai family, as long as Oda Nobunaga's power grows stronger and stronger like a snowball, everyone will carefully cover up their hatred and honestly serve the Oda family as a dog.

Oda Nobunaga thought for a while and said.

"You two, go get ready.

Quan Liu, go to Mi Wuniang to get a list later, the people on the list are not allowed to move, understand? "

Shibata Katsuie showed a bloodthirsty smile, nodded to Niwa Chohide who was seated next to him, and replied.

"Main hall, I know it well."

Niwa Changxiu secretly sighed, knowing that the deal is done, there is no way to persuade him.

Oda Nobunaga did not nominate the list, and Shibata Katsuie still had a scruple in doing things.But she said that there is a security list, and the blurred boundaries are clear.

With the acquiescence of Oda Nobunaga, Shibata Katsuie will definitely commit crimes with all his strength, expand the scope of attack, take more military exploits and occupy more land.

Oda Nobunaga nodded.

It's not that she doesn't understand Niwa Changhide's hesitation, but the situation of the Oda family is really bad now, so there must be a choice.

Oda Nobunaga knew in his heart that the helpers hired by this idiot Ashikaga Yoshiaki would never be the only ones from Asakura Asai Rokkaku.

The longer Oda Nobunaga confronts these three families, the more others will be ready to move, and they can't help but jump out and embarrass the Oda family.

Facing the siege of the siege net, Oda Nobunaga had to strike decisively, with one punch to avoid a hundred punches.

She wants to deter unknown enemies, at least to make those people feel scruples, so that they will not jump out of the brain and deal with the Oda family, so that they can be cleaned up one by one due to the time difference, and it is not easy to lose sight of one thing and lose another.

Therefore, the turmoil in Minami Omi must be subsided quickly. Oda Nobunaga allowed the Owari generals headed by Shibata Katsuie to send to slaughter the Minami Omi Samurai, in order to deter all those who have evil intentions with blood.

Niwa Chohide is a sensible person, she will definitely give a detailed list and try to protect those who must be protected as much as possible.

As for the other Minami Omi samurai, see the excited eyes exchanged between Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori, please ask yourself for blessings.

Oda Nobunaga released a group of hungry wolves. In order to eat the fat of Minami Omi, they will go all out to suppress the rioting forces gathered by the mother and daughter of the six corners, and then seek personal gain for themselves.

Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands and said.

"That's the end of today's discussion, let's go."

Oda Nobunaga dispatched partisan divisions to be radical in the commotion in Minami Omi, trying to quickly suppress and quell it.As for Asai Asakura's family, they are far stronger than the outdated Liujiao family, so they are not so easy to deal with.

Oda Nobunaga has written to Tokugawa Ieyasu, preparing to form a coalition again and send troops to Kita Omi.

Before that, she still had some doubts about the Asai Asakura coalition forces that were raging in the land of West Mino, and she needed to investigate the situation again.

Asai Nagamasa is also a capable samurai, why did he bring such a few people to kill Mino, is he really stupid?Or is there another backup?
After the military meeting was over, Oda Nobunaga had just returned to the inner courtyard when he received a request for an audience.

It's just that the person who came was not Niwa Chohide who she thought was going to intercede for Minami Omi's family, but Hashiba Hideyoshi brought Takenaka Shigeharu to see him.

In the side room, Oda Nobunaga and Yan Yuese accepted their salute and said.

"Good job, Hideyoshi.

You have done a very good job in Jinzaki, I am very satisfied, after this battle is over, I will reward you. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi bowed and said.

"I'm very ashamed. I was chased by Asakura's army during the retreat. I had no choice but to flee to Tsuruga Port and seek the protection of Asakura Keiki-sama. I was ashamed of the hall."

Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.

"Kingji Asakura is very witty, which will benefit her in the future. It's your ability to come back alive, don't worry about those details."

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga really didn't care, Hashiba Hideyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.After she escaped from Tsuruga Port, she ran to Gifu City non-stop, just because she was worried about Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.

This moody lord is not easy to serve. If he can't explain clearly at the first time, he will be regarded as a shameful guy for the Oda family, and all the hardships he suffered in the Kanezaki retreat will be in vain.

In fact, Hashiba Hideyoshi was too worried. Oda Nobunaga is very satisfied with her now. This former servant has proved his ability time and time again and is a valuable person.

Oda Nobunaga has always been tolerant and generous when dealing with valuable people.

The old ministers who started from Owari are a little lack of motivation. At this time, a catfish is needed to stir them up and make them work hard.

Fortunately, Hashiba Hideyoshi was born in Owari, and he can be regarded as a trusted confidant of Oda Nobunaga, but also from a humble background, he was rejected and despised by the old Owari samurai.

It is this kind of character who is one of his own and not easy to be accepted by his own people. It is the most suitable catfish for Oda Nobunaga.

With the success of the Battle of Kanazaki, everyone who participated in the battle looked up to Hashiba Hideyoshi and owed her a favor, including Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide, two big family members.

This is very good for Hashiba Hideyoshi's future, and Oda Nobunaga is willing to give her a further chance.

At this moment, Oda Nobunaga asked.

"Did you come to me just to explain this meaningless thing?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi knew the lord's temperament best, and if he couldn't say anything useful, he would immediately let himself go.

But this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi really has something to do, she bowed and said.

"Main hall, I have some news from the front line, which may be useful to you."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Asai Asakura's allied forces have retreated, and the army has left West Mino."

"what!"

Oda Nobunaga jumped up all of a sudden, pacing left and right in front of his seat, but his eyes kept staring at Hashiba Hideyoshi.

"What's going on! Tell me clearly!"
