Civilization Guardian Front

"This war has already been won by our Oda Army..."

He took out a clean handkerchief from his inner pocket, wrapped the girl's knees in place of gauze, and tied a knot at the bend of the legs. Chios smiled at Yoshimoto, indicating that the injury had been healed.

Let go of the girl's left foot, and after getting up, he stretched out his hand to the other side.

"Since the winner has been decided, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties from continuing to increase, I would like to ask Lord Yoshimoto to declare his surrender."

"Well, okay, okay..." Without rejecting the goodwill of the enemy general, Imagawa Yoshimoto took Chios's hand and stood up, his fair legs were hidden under the heavy twelve sheets again.

The girl gracefully pushed a strand of hair behind her ear to hide her shyness at the moment, and then replied:

"For the sake of serving our family so wholeheartedly, I will do as you wish..."

As soon as the words fell, a burning sensation came from the coat of arms on the back of Chios' hand.

The young man did not check the information for the time being, but looked up at the sky and let out a long breath.

The battle between the barrels that lasted for many days is finally over...

...

With the order of General Imagawa Yoshimoto, the formation quickly played the banner of surrender.

After the Oda army arrived on the battlefield, the Imagawa army, which was already in chaos, fell into a disadvantage in an instant. Coupled with the fall of the main army, there was really no reason to continue fighting desperately.

The Imagawa soldiers who were still fighting in Tianle's narrow room simply dropped their weapons one by one and let the enemy bind them.

Fortunately, this surprise attack battle did not last long, except that the horses were hacked, killed and trampled when they rushed to the battle, and the vanguard followed up with a cover-up. The number of casualties was not high, only more than a thousand people.

After the armor and weapons were confiscated, the threat from the Jinchuan army, including the remnants of Jing and Iraqi troops totaling about [-], was greatly reduced. Under the strict supervision of the Oda army, they were still safe.

The main curtain that originally belonged to Imagawa Yoshimoto, just changed the two Ashikaga patterns to the papaya pattern, and it became the temporary military meeting place of the Oda Army.

Oda Nobuna is sitting at the head of the conference table, behind him is Inu Chiyo holding a scarlet short gun, and on the left and right are Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, Akechi Mitsuhide, Ikeda Hengxing, Sasao Naruma, etc. The retainers are seated according to their respective positions.

In front of the head of the Oda family, there are a group of Imagawa retainers who have disarmed, and...

Suruga Imagawa clan is in charge, and Imagawa Yoshimoto.

and also...

The biggest contributor to the victory in this campaign is Chios Felino Langlonado.

"so..."

Owari Lord Owari, who loves cutting Hasebe and sticks it at his feet, seems to be able to pull out at any time to cut people, pointed at Yoshimoto who was leaning against Chios with a displeased face, and said through gritted teeth:

"You decide to spare the life of this princess Cuju?"

Chapter 130 Four? After the end of the war, the discussion is Shura

"You decide to spare the life of this princess Cuju?"

As soon as the tea-haired girl sitting on the main seat said this, countless women among Oda's retainers also stared at the young man in the field.

When they heard that Chios had captured General Imagawa on the battlefield, Nobuna and the others didn't think anything was wrong. After all, Chios had already spared the lives of many generals of Imagawa, so they could guess what schemes or arrangements he might have. .

However...

When they walked into the main camp and saw Princess Imagawa standing next to the young man...

(I especially want to kill her!)

The strong hostility is undisguised in the behavior of several girls.

Oda Nobuna directly inserted his love knife into the ground at his feet, and sat with a displeased face; Shibata Katsuie did not bring the big gun into the tent, but unconsciously put his hand on the waist knife; Niwa Nagahide's face It was full of gentle smiles, except for the overwhelmed clicking sound of the folding fan in his hand, which vaguely revealed something; Maeda Inuchiyo was standing still with a red gun in his hand, seemingly expressionless, but in fact, the slightly hanging corners of his eyes were releasing killing intent. meaning...

Many Mahui girls and warriors, including Ikeda Hengxing, also looked apprehensive, only Akechi Mitsuhide looked serious, looking at Imagawa Yoshimoto seriously, wondering what he was thinking.

Obviously, if Chios couldn't give a satisfactory explanation, the head of the Oda family would stab Imagawa Yoshimoto's delicate neck at any time.

Under the pressure of such an interrogation-like gaze, the young man still maintained a calm smile and answered:

"Yes, Imakawa Yoshimoto cannot die."

"Why?" The questioner was not Nobuna, but the outspoken Singer.

"His Royal Highness thinks..." Did not directly respond to this question, the young man looked at the tea-haired girl on the main seat, and asked a question that surprised everyone present:

"If you want to dominate and even calm the troubled times, should the Owari Kingdom expand to the Kinki area of ​​Kyoto, or attack the Kanto Koshin?"

"Of course Kinki!" Nobuna gave the answer without any hesitation.

"The first thing is to take down the fertile land of Meinong, and then go to Luo to meet with the general to obtain righteousness, and then bring Sakai Port into rule. In this way, not only can we get the support of the richest businessman in the world, but also the southern barbarian trade, whether it is iron ore Cannons and imported goods can be given priority by me."

Mentioning the serious matter, Owari King, quickly curbed the unhappiness on his face, folded his hands on his chest, and carefully analyzed:

"Kanto Koshin has no righteousness, business interests, and Takeda, Uesugi, Hojo and other daimyos are strong. Even if they can win, they will fight very hard. It can be said to be the worst killing field."

"They are all powerful forces that can rival the Imagawa Clan in its heyday..." The writer Niwa Changhide nodded, obviously fully agreeing with the master's strategic policy, and then he opened his mouth to conclude:

"Although we won this battle, if Master Chios hadn't conspired to create a victory for our army, I am afraid that apart from a miracle, it would be impossible for the damage to be so slight...Ninety percent."

Um...

The heads of the Oda family nodded unanimously, and the Imagawa family members who were unable to intervene at the side couldn't help but relax a little when they saw this.

Being recognized by the opponent who defeated them at least made them feel better.

Imagawa Yoshimoto opened his beautiful eyes slightly, looking at the young man beside him with complicated eyes.

Is this man the culprit that caused her current situation?

only...

The girl felt the touch of the scarf wrapped around her left knee, and finally, all her thoughts turned into a silent sigh in her heart.

Chios, who was always sensitive to sight, immediately noticed the gaze from General Imagawa from his side.

By summarizing the problem, it seems that I accidentally pointed out the role played by Chios in this war, so as to impact Yoshimoto's favor towards Chios...

Apart from secretly admiring Changxiu's methods, Chios couldn't say anything.

"As Her Royal Highness and the Military Advisor have said, Kinki is the most suitable choice for the expansion of the Oda family..."

Hearing the address the young man called him, Changxiu, who immediately understood his intention to be discovered, gave Chios a sideways look, and then returned to his gentle smile.

Chios could only shrug his shoulders in response.

"But if the Oda family wants to attack the west with peace of mind, they must first ensure that the east has no worries."

"I don't understand..." The girl with ponytail sitting opposite Changxiu raised her hand, and after getting the young man's attention, she continued:

"Isn't this the greatest significance for us to defeat the Imagawa Army?"

Having said that, Singer scratched his cheeks in confusion, then pointed to the governor of the Imagawa family who was wearing twelve singles in front of him and said:

"She has always been our biggest enemy in the east. As long as we cut her down, won't we be able to attack Meinong with confidence?"

"No, this is not the core of the problem..." The young man shook his head, and stretched out his hand to signal the girl with ponytail to be calm.

"Although Imakawa Yoshimoto is not good at martial arts, she is very capable in internal affairs. Without increasing the annual tribute tax, she succeeded in seizing land, developing coastal salt production, and mining gold in just a few years after inheriting the family governor. Mining and other ways to increase the income of the territory..."

Being praised for his talents, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who used to chuckle a little smugly, was uncharacteristically silent at this time, and a blush quietly appeared on his graceful and luxurious face.

"Why do you seem to know her very well..."

Nobuna, who was listening carefully to Chios' explanation, suddenly collapsed, and her radiant eyes turned into a pair of dead fish eyes.

"I asked Goemon to investigate the Suruga Imagawa clan's information..." Chios still had his usual look on his face as he spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

"After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you come up with a perfect strategy."

In an inconspicuous corner of the formation, a black shadow staggered suddenly, silently protesting the youth's lies.

It's a pity that none of the people present noticed the movement of the shadow...

"The merits of being like a princess have long been engraved in the bone marrow due to the long-term relationship..." At this point, Chios cast a meaningful look at the tea-haired girl who was full of jealousy.

"For me to list them one by one, not only does it seem outlandish, but it also takes countless time. Therefore, I think it's better not to waste the time of Your Highness the Princess."

"Huh! I don't need you to tell me..." Nobuna snorted and then turned her head, not wanting everyone present to see that she could barely hold her face and was melted by joy.

(I won't admit it, but I'm actually very satisfied with Chios' answer...)

Although the awkward girl thought so, she still couldn't help peeking at Chios' face out of the corner of her eye.

"Occasionally... sometimes I can make a long story short. Let me give you an example. No matter how I say it, I am a big-hearted lord. No... I won't blame you for wasting a little time."

"Cough..." Changxiu, who couldn't stand it any longer, coughed lightly, interrupting the gradually sweet conversation between the two in front of him:

"Back to the topic, please Master Chios continue to explain the reason for the so-called "Imagawa Yoshimoto cannot be killed". "

Chapter 130 Five? A Traitor Has Been Found Among Us

After the old writer Niwa Nagahide made his voice, Lord Owari reluctantly returned to his previous serious expression.

"Um...that's right!"

It's a pity that at this time, Xinnai only has a decorative fierceness left, and everything under the surface is softened by the sweet words of the lover.

"Chios, continue to explain your reasons."

Seeing this, the corners of Chios' mouth twitched slightly, while Changxiu shook her head secretly.

"Because of the great ability of the daimyo, the Imagawa family was able to annex the Mikawa country and develop into a powerful force comparable to Kai Takeda and Sagami Hojo..."

Speaking of this, the young man stretched out his hand to signal everyone to pay attention to Imagawa Yoshimoto beside him.

"Because of this, once Imagawa Yoshimoto dies, among the current successors of the Imagawa family, in a short period of time, no one will have her prestige to control the three kingdoms of the Suenen River, and the Imagawa family will also quickly weaken."

Not only the Oda Lord, but everyone including Imagawa's retainers held their breath and listened carefully to Chios' analysis:

"His Royal Highness thinks that Takeda and Hojo will take advantage of the situation and annex the Imagawa clan's territory?"

As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed immediately, concentrating on the possibility of what Chios said.

The more he thought about it, the more deeply he frowned.

"Takeda Shingen and Hojo Ujiyasu..." Oda Nobuna crossed his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes had already become more dignified.

"Indeed, for these two families, there is no reason for the weak Imagawa family not to take advantage of it."

"...The Takeda family has the largest border with the Imagawa territory." Inuchiyo added.

"Inuchiyo is right, the Takeda family is indeed the most likely force to attack..."

The girl behind Asanobuna nodded approvingly from Niwa Chohide, patted the palm with the folding fan lightly, and continued;

"If Shingen Takeda succeeds in annexing the territory of the Imagawa family, the Takeda family will become a more formidable enemy than the Imagawa family in its heyday, threatening our army at any time... Mr. Chios' concerns are indeed justified, 95 points."

"However, let Imagawa Yoshimoto go back to Suruga like this, who knows if she will send troops to Owari again after she regains her strength?" Shibata Katsuie looked at the head of the Imagawa family with unkind eyes.

"Sure enough, compared to the unknown threat, it's better to kill her, right?"

The murderous stare of Shibata, the unparalleled ghost on the battlefield, made Imagawa Yoshimoto, whose life and death are in the hands of others, lean towards Chios with a little uneasiness.

"Singer, although your worry is reasonable, it is actually unlikely to happen..."

Quietly giving the insecure girl beside him a comforting look, Chios said an unexpected name:

"Remember Matsudaira Motoyasu?"

"Ah, that raccoon cat Takechiyo..." Of course, Nobuna remembered the girl who was bullied by him since she was a child. After glancing at the Imagawa retainers present, her mood seemed to suddenly improve a lot.

"It didn't appear on this battlefield, something is really wrong."

Imagawa Yoshimoto lowered his eyes, and a haze flashed in his eyes.

The rest of Imagawa's retainers also fell into deep thought silently.

"It's very simple. After she took down Wangen Village, she hid in Dagao City and waited and watched..."

Chios, who had intended to increase the confrontation between Imagawa and Matsudaira, directly stated Matsudaira Motoyasu's plan:

"If the Imagawa Army wins as originally expected, she just needs to find an excuse to delay her army's fatigue, but what if the Oda Army wins?"

The two people who responded to this question...

""She will be able to lead the army back to Sanhe and take the opportunity to become independent. ""

It is Oda Nobuna who knows Matsudaira Motoyasu very well, and Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"It's really hateful!" Asahina Taichao, the elder of the Imagawa family, clenched his fists and cursed angrily:
