Just as Luo's Nobura and others began to prepare for their long-standing plan, Oda Nobunaga's winning army had returned to the Kiyosu Castle in Ohara Kingdom.

At this time, outside the city of Qingzhou, there were crowds everywhere.

"Look! I still won. I'm really not my Lord."

"He is so elusive!"

"Ah! Look! That's the head of Imakawa Yoshimoto, known as the first Tokaido bow, took! "

"Yes! Look! His teeth are blackened and his eyebrows are painted!"

"Yes! He led 40,000 to 50,000 retainers to send troops, but he still lost. What's going on?" People kept making wonderful discussions and clapping and cheering.

At this time, the news of Oda Nobunaga returning with Imakawa Yoshimoto's head had spread all over Ohara, and the three rivers made the Imakawa family's vanguard disappear on the streets in an instant. Those survivors took advantage of Oda Nobunaga's great opportunity to return to Kiyosu Castle to escape eastward, and then continued to spread the news of Imakawa Yoshimoto's murder. Within a day, the atmosphere from Tokaido to Ohara's country instantly changed by 180 degrees.

"Let's present flowers to the victorious lord!" From the crowd on both sides, children cheered from time to time, and the flowers were thrown into the army. However, at this time, Oda Nobunaga's lips were closed and he was not smiling seriously.

Perhaps the stabbing of Imakawa Yoshimoto's head on the tip of the knife will make a general feel deeply moved! He felt that the future was as far as hopes were seen... The remnant clouds shone on the faces of the people who welcomed the triumphant army, and everyone showed a joyful expression. However, perhaps in human life, there are more serious things waiting for them to capture. The crowds of people are rushing towards them from time to time like sparks.

But Oda Nobunaga was like a statue, capturing the head of Imakawa Yoshimoto and slowly advancing in the setting sun.

On the night when he returned to Qingzhou Castle, the Oda family did not hold a celebration meeting, but ordered everyone to go home and rest quickly. However, in the evening, Oda Nobunaga suddenly held an evaluation meeting. Oda Nobunaga's sudden convening surprised everyone.

After all the retainers arrived, Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on the main seat of the evaluation room, said:

"Among the enemy generals, there are two people who deserve to be our borrowing mirror. In my Oda Nobunaga's view, these two people are very familiar with Bushido, and they will definitely withdraw their troops automatically."

"One of them is Matsuhira Motoyashi in Otaka Castle, and the other is Okabe Motonobu in Naruto Castle."

The retainers may not necessarily agree with Oda Nobunaga's opinion at this time. The Matsuhei army took down Oda's guard Zuokuma University's Alfalm at the castle in Maruen. Okabe Motoshi often stood at the forefront of dealing with the Oda family during these years, causing the Oda family to fall into a difficult situation. Oda Nobunaga would particularly like these two people among the enemies, and he did have their own unique insights. But there were still people who wanted to deal with them fiercely, and Oda Kiyomasa made a fuss:

"I don't think so. When we go chasing tomorrow morning, we must teach them a lesson."

Oda Nobunaga just laughed at it when he said Kiyomasato.

"Do you think they will wait until tomorrow morning to stop moving? If they don't move, then you can give it a good lesson."

"According to your words, will they withdraw tonight?"

Oda Nobunaga did not answer him, but said:

"Come on, I'll have a little wine to celebrate tonight. As for a bigger banquet, I have to wait until the Imakawa family army completely withdrew from Ohara's border." After saying that, Nobunaga Oda raised a wooden bowl in front of him and drank the wine.

Seeing this, Oda Kiyomasa could only remain silent and put the wine bowl in front of him close to his lips. Of course, what he didn't know was that, not long after returning to Kiyosu Castle, Oda Nobunaga sent an envoy Hasegawa Hashisuke to Naruhira Castle to test Okabe Motonobu's intentions.

Later, at dawn, Imakawa Yoshimoto's head was hung from the Suka Gate in the south of the castle. Oda Nobunaga personally went to the square in front of the main entrance hall to test the heads outside Imakawa Yoshimoto. Information about the Imakawa family's army returning to the east like an avalanche also came.

And this information was just as Oda Nobunaga had expected. In less than a moment of battle, the enemy died in 583 people, and the total casualties reached 2,500 people, which was wiped out.

Imakawa Yoshimoto's uncle, the head of the Shaofu clan of the Puhara Palace, was also among them, and his nephew, Tadashi Naoman, and his sister-in-law Koshiro Masato, were also killed.

The head of Suruga's flag was also killed in battle; the head of Misato's Misato's head of the flag was not flying; the head of the Yoshida Musashi's Motoshi who was promoted by the army was good, the head of the Katsuyama Hatsuma Nagaya at the head of the back formation, the Shaosuke of the Ejiri Minbu Shaofu of the clan, the spear-oriented Izu Quangu, the general of the left prefect, the general of the left prefect, the general of the Okabe Kakai Nagata, the general of the former prefect, the general of the former prefect, the general of the former prefect, the general of the former prefect, the head of the former prefect, the general of the Asahina, the chief of the former prefect, the head of the Sudden sect, the head of the general of the first prefect, the head of the Asahina, the chief of the plan of the Sudden sect, and the head of the other person, were gradually discharged. Isn't this considered the annihilation of the entire army?

Their command system has collapsed, and they have no head or body. There are only some fragmented hands and feet left. It is natural for those who can survive to escape back to their hometown as soon as possible.

Saito Saito Sui was also killed. In addition, the generals of Anhara, Tomototsu Sui Ryo, Himemi, Queguchi, Yoshikazu, Ishihara Yasama, Ii Ishinoji, Shimada Zuoji, Ii Otsuki, Ii Toshimasaki, Ii Nagato, Sawada Nagato, Okazaki Juro, Okazaki Juro, Kanei Masuke, Nagase Ue, Tomika Kinaki, and Tomiaki Hiroshi are no longer there. From this we can see that the talents in the Torii area are gone.

Among them, Oda Nobunaga attaches most importance to Matsuhei Motoyashi and Okabe Motonobu.

Near noon, Fujiko came to Oda Nobunaga and said, "Matsuhira Motoyashi seemed to have left Otaka Castle and returned to Okazaki last night."

When the news came, the important officials who were sitting in the same seat suddenly looked at each other.

"It turns out that Motoyaki has returned to Okazaki."

Oda Nobunaga nodded and laughed. The younger brother who was once called Mikawa and Matsuhira Motoyashi, who once lived in Ohachi, said to Oda Nobunaga:

"In the future, we will definitely be able to win the world together."

At that time, Takechiyo was now nineteen years old. He returned to his birthplace. This was the god of fate who sent him back to Okazaki.

Regarding this battle, Matsuhei Motoyashi's biological mother, the inner room of Sado Matsu, Yuda, once tried hard to communicate with the Oda family and the Okazaki family to avoid a decisive battle. Oda Nobunaga also sent someone to express to Matsuhei Motoyashi that the two families did not need to fight.

However, all of these can be said to be a complete failure in the end.

Matsuhira Motoyashi seemed to have considered the insidiousness of Imakawa Yoshimoto, so he had to kill the general of the Oda family, that is, to kill Sakuma University, Oda Nobunaga Aimon who was guarding Marukeen Castle. However, it was precisely because of Matsuhira Motoyashi's victory that Imakawa Yoshimoto was negligent and rested in Tarasa, causing Oda Nobunaga's side to turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, in Oda Nobunaga's view, Sakuma University's death could not constitute a condition for the conflict between them.

"It seems that there is an incredible fate between that guy and me. He actually returned to Okazaki safely."

Since he returned to Okazaki, it can be said that the hostage life of more than ten years has been liberated. At this time, Matsuhira Motoyashi must have wanted to pacify the Sanhe area.

"Okay! Is Yiyi here? Takigawa Yiyi!"

"Yes! I'm here."

"You should pay attention to Yuankang's actions in the next year; come back and report anything quickly, I will support him, you should tell him again and again."

"I see."

At this time, Hasegawa Hashisuke, who was the messenger, also returned.

"Report!"

"As you said, Okabe Motonobu of Naruto Castle has stopped the battle and even has the meaning of Shekawa."

"Oh! What else did he say?"

"As you expected, Okabe Motonobu was a shameless samurai. He said that since their master was no longer there, they would not stay there anymore. But he hoped that His Highness Oda would give him the head of Okabu Daisuke so that he could bring him back to Shin Mansion."

At this moment, these important officials who sat together were staring at each other in surprise. Oda Nobunaga was really imaginary!

"Haha..." Oda Nobunaga smiled happily.

"Okay! OK! Anyway, Imakawa Yoshimoto's head leader has seen and understood it. You should hurry to Sukakou and take down the head, and lead ten monks to solemnly send the head back to Naruto City." Even in Oda Nobunaga's heart, he planned to build an Imakawa Yoshimoto in Tarawa.

While saying this, he looked at everyone again.

"This is really a wonderful thing. The head of Imakawa Oda Nobunaga was exchanged for a city by me, Oda Nobunaga. Hahaha! OK! Kizuo Shigetachi, hurry up to Dagua City to accept Naruto City. You are the number one hero in this war. Dagua's 3,000-ken of Caidi will be rewarded as a reward. You must perform well! Shigetachi."

"Yes! The ministers will definitely live up to the lord's expectations!"

Both Kizo Shigetaki and Hasegawa Hashisuke also took the order and left.

"Ah! The handling of this war is finally over. It is both quick and appropriate." Seeing this, although I was jealous of the reward that Kisato Shigetachi received, Fujiyoshiro still sighed with a smile. This was obviously a flatterer of Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga smiled when he heard this, and then looked towards the direction of twenty or thirty heads.

"Then...next!" He returned to his serious expression again, regained his actual test posture, staring at the heads one by one.

Due to the victory of Tarasama, all the generals of the Warring States period would inevitably look at Oda Nobunaga with admiration. Moreover, his current treatment of the post-war was as clean and neat as if he had cut the mess with a quick knife, which made everyone in his family feel awe of him from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that no one doubted Oda Nobunaga's strength anymore. It is really a big mistake to say that he is a fool. His foresight, unique and overwhelming are something that all military skills cannot be learned. At this time, many retainers couldn't help but praise each other in a low voice:

"It seems that the lord is really a reincarnated man."

"What the lord is thinking is really hard to guess. This is really amazing!"

"That's right, when the lord stabbed the head of the Yamatoma Daisuke with a big knife, I felt that the lord was a cruel person. However, this was also to avoid the battle in Naruto City."

"Yes, the lord let the people see first, and then carefully ask the monk to send the head to Okabe Motoshinobu. In this way, Okabe Motoshinobu will no longer have the intention to continue the battle, and the lord will return to Jun Mansion with great face. What a smart arrangement."

"Yes! And then again, except for Imakawa Yoshimoto's body, the other people who died in battle were also buried in the Kotoku-yuan in the Tsukamama village, and were personally supported by His Highness! And when the lord heard that Matsuhei Motoyashi returned to Okazaki Castle safely, he was so happy. It seems that all this was as the lord's wishes... No! It can be said that everything was going according to the lord's wishes. The lord is really an incredible person!"

In this atmosphere, what actions should be taken next? Whether to attack Mino, this made a tense atmosphere full of ups and downs. At this moment, Oda Nobunaga suddenly said: "I decided to go to Kumano for a pilgrimage."

When Oda Nobunaga said this, everyone looked at each other in a daze. If it were in the past, then the important officials would definitely give him other opinions. They might say:

"The attack on Imakawa Yoshimoto just ended. At this time, there are still enemies around us. We have to conquer it in one go. This is the experience of ancient military generals. How can we do worship like traveling around here? If Oda's eldest son is proud of this, he will regret it in the future."

In the past, Lin Zuodushou would definitely make such a suggestion, but this time he didn't say anything. This may prove that he is no longer qualified to speak.

"Okay! I'm going to Kumano to worship again. It seems that your highness wants to take some extraordinary measures."

"Of course, what Your Highness thinks has always been unique. The lord has wisdom like Hei Kiyomizu. Perhaps the lord wants Kumano's public to be our people!"

"Maybe it! No matter what, when the lord leaves, we must stick to our post."

"By the way, how many soldiers will the lord bring?"

Oda Nobunaga ignored everyone's discussion and continued:

"I will prepare the boat in Hirota, from Hirota to Sanming, and then from there. In this way, I might go to Ise and then to Tooba's beach. This is also a good idea. How about it? Do you already understand why I was going to Kumano for worship?"

This was simply nonsense. Of course, no one among the people understood it, and Oda Nobunaga did not expect them to understand his intentions. At this time, they were silent in the face of each other.

"Hahaha... It seems you don't understand. It doesn't matter." What made everyone even more depressed was that Oda Nobunaga still didn't analyze them as before. Of course, this time, as before, some retainers took the initiative to ask:

"Everyone knows this!" Morizo ​​Zaemon answered. He actually told Oda Nobunaga that they did not know what Oda Nobunaga's purpose was, but he still asked Oda Nobunaga to tell them the purpose.

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga understood what everyone meant, so he said:

"There are three shrines in Kumano in Kii Country. Since the beginning, I have been known as Mikuno, Kumano Shrine, Kumano Sushita Shrine, Kumano Natsushi Shrine... I have to visit these places."

"Oh! By the way, Sanzuo, aren't you very familiar with that place? When it comes to Kumano's worship, the shrine is the main palace, the Suyu Shrine is the Xingong, and the Nachi is the Fusumei Shrine. According to local sayings, the Fusumei Shrine has eleven-sided Thousand-Armed Guanyin, the new officials have the Medicine Buddha, and the Immortal Buddha."

"Ah...yes!"

"So why I went there to worship, do you understand?"

"I don't know, if you don't say it, what will we know?" Lin Zuodu asked very cautiously.

"Don't you understand? Master, don't you know about Kumano's effectiveness? If I go there to worship, maybe my wish will come true."
To be continued...
