Chapter 692 4. Various News and Confusions

The news was so explosive! Xiao Pingtai was stunned for more than three minutes. His mind was like an atomic bomb exploded and then another four squadrons of B-17s plowed through it.

A blank!

"Where did the news come from! Where did it come from!" Xiao Pingtai finally recovered.

"Eizan Enryakuji Temple."

What the hell? Hieisan Enryakuji Temple? This temple is in the northeast of Luoyang, and it takes a long way to get to Nomura Anesikawa. To exaggerate, it is separated by Lake Biwa, and it takes several hours to swim. What the hell is the news they sent?

"Why is it from Enryakuji Temple!"

"Gifu Dan is camping at Anesikawa, and Nichu was attacked by the Asai Bizen and Asakura Shikibu armies, and was defeated and killed. The Asakura army has broken through Jiangnan and is camping at Enryakuji Temple. They are about to enter Luoyang!"

Naya Sukezaemon said it in a serious manner, as if it was the truth. Asai Nagamasa betrayed Oda Nobunaga, united with the Echizen Asakura clan, launched a surprise attack on the Oda army, killed Oda Nobunaga, and the world would change.

Enryakuji Temple has always had a good relationship with the coin-scattering boy Asakura Yoshikage. Asakura Yoshikage can be the great donor of Honganji, and naturally he is not stingy with money for Enryakuji Temple, the main temple of Tendai. Spending a lot of money is extremely "pious".

If the Asakura army and the Asai army break through the entire Jiangnan and march to Luoyang. Then Mount Hiei, with its vast buildings and mountain terrain as a support, is really a good place to station a large army. Just a charge can kill into Luoyang, the word "key point" is the most appropriate.

"This, this, this..."

Xiao Pingtai still has considerable doubts about this. The changes in history are completely out of the original route and confusing. Nobunaga is famous for his god-like operation against the wind and his buff of overturning with the wind and waves. Even if there was no way up to the sky or down to the earth, and he was trapped in a valley blocked from front and back, he could find a crack to escape.

He shouldn't have died so easily in battle!

When Sugitani Zenjubo shot him with a sniper, he only hit his thigh. He shouldn't have been killed in the midst of tens of thousands of troops. It's true that Asai Nagamasa was very fierce, and the Saint Seiya Isono Umamasa was also very famous. Endo Naotsugu was also famous for slashing down his colleagues with a single sword and breaking into the camp alone to kill the general.

But was he really so powerful that he killed Oda Nobunaga?

Kobayata fought with Takeda Shingen in the ravine for almost ten years, but he didn't kill him in the end. He was hit by a cannon, but he still escaped from the desperate situation. He flattened the thorns of Kai and finally passed the throne to Takeda Yoshinobu before he kicked his legs.

It's not that simple!

The best plan for now is to immediately join the Yamauchi army, backed by Sakaimachi, with these 15,000 elite soldiers from all over the world, and then detect the news, understand the details, and make decisions.

Immediately pull Sukezaemon out of the town and go to wait for Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Now that the news of Oda Nobunaga's death is spreading everywhere, the entire Kinai will surely fall into great chaos, and only the military camp will be safe.

The Yamauchi army was not far from Sakaimachi and came quickly. When Kobayata arrived at the street outside the town, he had already found that the Sakai gathering and dozens of leading figures were standing in the shed with anxious faces. When Imai Sokyu saw Kobayata coming, he forced a smile.

"Danzheng, Danzheng, this is a disaster. It happened suddenly. Please mediate. Please dismount and stay outside Sakai until the storm subsides."

"Have you all received the news? Where did you get it from?" Kobayata knew that there were umbrellas behind these people who had gathered, and they all had their own news channels.

Now there is only one message from Sukezaemon from Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei, and Kobayata dare not believe it easily. It is best to listen to these big bosses summarize the news and unravel it.

"The news came from Doctor Niki of Iga that Sasaki and his son have gone to Jiangnan, Gifu Danzheng was defeated in Nomura Sakon, the troops were scattered, and Gifu Danzheng himself was nowhere to be seen."

"Just missing?" Kobayata felt that the news was very different when he heard Imai Munehisa say this.

"What did Sukezaemon say?" Imai Munehisa saw Sukezaemon being pulled over by Kobayata, and he probably came to his senses.

"Killed in the Anesegawa!"

"This..."

"I got the news that Gifu Danzheng was attacked by Isono Tanba-no-kami and Endo Kiemon-no-jo from both sides, and was seriously injured and killed. Most of his troops fled to Noshu, and a small part went to Usayama Castle."

Tsuda Muneki, who was standing aside, said more detailed news, even the name of who defeated Oda Nobunaga, and these two were really famous brave generals in Jiangbei.

The other big bosses also talked a lot, some said Nobunaga died in the battle, some said Nobunaga was seriously injured, and some said Nobunaga fled and disappeared. Anyway, there were all kinds of news, except that Nobunaga was attacked by surprise in Nomura Anesegawa, which was similar, and the behavior of the two armies was quite confusing.

"The news is confusing now, and it is still unknown what the truth is. Everyone must stay calm." Xiao Pingtai had to say this for the time being.

As he was talking, Hosokawa Saime, the first mover of the Yamauchi army, arrived, with more than 2,000 people and horses in a majestic manner. Hosokawa Saimie, who was on horseback, saw Kobayata and got off immediately.

"Enough of small talk, have you received the news about Gifu Danjo?" Before Hosokawa Saimie could speak, Kobayata stopped him.

"I heard that (Akechi) Jubei and (Hosokawa) Hyobu, who came with the camp, have both ridden back to the capital! Your Highness was also quite shocked and couldn't believe it!" Hosokawa Saimie understood the severity of the news.

"Then let's stop camp first and talk in the town."

The meeting saw the Yamauchi army of 15,000 troops in strict order and neat military appearance, arriving at Sakaimachi. They took the initiative to pay the army for a month's food and wages, hoping that the Yamauchi army would temporarily stay outside the town. At present, the news in Kinai was chaotic, and the princes were rising up. The roads were definitely blocked, so the Yamauchi army took advantage of the situation and also stationed outside the town.

A group of big bosses surrounded Ashikaga Yoshiaki as if they were surrounding a savior, and they gathered into the town. Qian Zongyi, known as the tea fairy, personally came out to entertain them, anyway, he hoped that the Yamauchi army would stay.

After the generals settled the soldiers and rewarded the soldiers with water wine and rice cakes prepared by the meeting, except for about 500 people from the first team of the hatamoto who entered the town to protect Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the other soldiers stayed outside the town temporarily.

Including Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it was only after receiving the news from Ozaki Masatoshi, the shogunate's retainer who chased him from Luoyang, that Asai Nagamasa followed the Asakura clan and raised the flag of rebellion against Nobunaga.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki also hoped that the Yamanouchi Army would not leave Kinai for the time being, and even hoped that the Yamanouchi Army would turn back and enter Luoyang immediately. As for whether to stabilize the situation or do something more, it was not said.

The road is in front of everyone. Now Kinai is in chaos, and it seems unlikely to return to Yamanouchi by the original route. Stay in Sakai and wait for news, or go to Luoyang and wait for the opportunity to act?
