Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Yoshigan Shiba was showing off at this critical moment.

Great righteousness? Can great righteousness be eaten as food?

Without my Oda family's 30,000 female soldiers charging into the battle, without my Oda family's million-koku territory to supply food and grass, and taking advantage of the spring plowing season to attack, could this land of Minami Omi be conquered so easily?

Now that the pacification of Minami Omi is imminent, and only the last trembling of Kannonji Castle is needed to be completed, Yoshihiro Shiba is actually putting on airs at this time?

Forcibly attacking the city will cause the greatest loss to our Oda family's strength. You, Yoshihiro Shiba, don't take it seriously, right?

Oda Nobunaga imitated Yi Gin and snorted coldly and said.

"The Imperial Palace has a high wall and a thick wall that cannot be torn down with a few righteous words.

Please obey the authority in urgent matters, please don't be stubborn, this is also for the purpose of going to Luo."

Oda Nobunaga's attitude was respectful and seemed to be advising, but his words were slightly ridiculing.

She seemed to be saying, don't use those chicken feathers of righteousness as an arrow, you rely on elite soldiers to go to Luo, write the letter quickly, don't waste time.

The words were unpleasant. Tokugawa Ieyasu next to him pretended not to understand. Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at the city wall in a daze. Asai Nagamasa's eyes twitched and he wanted to speak.

But she was a step too late after all. Before she could say anything, Shiba Yiyin was already laughing angrily.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty Oda, are you saying that righteousness is useless?"

Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.

"The imperial court misunderstood, I didn't mean it, it's just pragmatic."

Although her tone was respectful, her eyes were staring at Yiyin unscrupulously. Yiyin was also looking at her, and their eyes intertwined, as if lightning and flint were flowing through, sparks flying.

Yiyin said calmly.

"Really? I'm also curious whether all the martial arts families in the world have become as pragmatic as His Highness Oda, and no longer have righteousness in their hearts."

Oda Nobunaga frowned.

"Otaisuo, I have always been loyal to the shogunate. This time I went to Luo for justice, and it was also because of the loyalty and courage in my heart.

What you said hurt my loyalty."

Oda Nobunaga was a little impatient, why did Yoshihiro Shiba become so pretentious today? He is usually a very pragmatic person, and he does a lot of compromises.

Because she was impatient, her tone was unkind and vaguely threatening.

Yiyin smiled slightly, this was the effect he wanted. So, he looked at the city wall and smiled.

"I made a mistake, so I punished myself with a bottle of wine. Go to Kamao clan! Get some wine!"

Kamao clan was stunned. Shiba Yoshigan was not Uesugi Teruhora. He was not addicted to alcohol and would never drink before the battle.

Fortunately, there was a good drinker among the concubines, and one of them was clever enough to hand over the wine flask on his waist to the Kamo clan. The Kamo clan took advantage of the situation and bowed, handing the flask to Shiba Yigen with both hands.

Oda Nobunaga became more and more confused about what Yoshigan was going to do. She watched Yoshigan silently and said nothing, waiting to see what happened.

Yiyin shouted again.

"White flag please!"

As his flag protector, Kamouso clan subconsciously wanted to take down the imperial white flag on the horse's back.

Unexpectedly, Yiyin actually walked forward in a few steps, grabbed the reins, and shouted.

"Get out of the way! Don't let anyone follow you!"

Everyone inexplicably watched him gallop towards Guanyin Temple City, looking around, not knowing what was going on.

Kamao clan was anxious and wanted to follow on horseback, but Oda Nobunaga stopped him.

"Didn't you hear the order from the Imperial Palace? You are not allowed to go there!"

Oda Nobunaga was also on the scene today. She just wanted to see how Yoshigoshi Shiba could put things right.

Dayi? Dayi is like a chamber pot. If you want to use it, use it. If you don’t use it, throw it away! Sibo Yiyin really wants to use Dayi as a commanding arrow. Who are you trying to scare?

Kamao clan gritted her teeth and remained silent, staring at Yoshigan's retreating back. Not just her, but all the Ji warriors in front of the formation were watching Yoshigan move forward.

The royal white flag was blown straight by the wind brought by the galloping war horses, making a rustling sound.

The boy on the horse looks like a god in the sun, tall and handsome, full of masculinity and power that no man in this world has.

———

The rising sun rises in the east, and the sunshine shines on the earth.

The Shangluo Allied Forces below the city are keeping a watchful eye, and the mother and daughter of Rokkaku Yixian and Yoshiji above the city are also inspecting the city defense.

Kamao Kenhide accompanied him and explained the city defense layout one by one. Hearing Rokkaku Yoshihide nod frequently, Rokkaku Yoshiharu felt emotional.

Not long ago, Rokkaku Yoshiharu sneered at Kenhide Kamao during the review. He even sent her to Sawayama Castle to meet Yoshihiro Shiba. After returning, he was even more cautious.

Who would have thought that the Battle of Shangluo would start during the spring plowing season. In order to protect their harvest, most of the Six-pointed Retainers Group defected like a gust of wind.

The Minami Omi defense line in the east collapsed instantly, and important towns in various places were uprooted. The Shangluo coalition forces pushed to the foot of Guanyin Temple City, and also captured the important branch city nearby, Jizuo Castle.

The city of Guanyin Temple was in chaos, and the Rokkaku mother and daughter were already thinking of escaping.

At this moment, it was Kamao Kenhide who stood up, maintained order, arranged the city defense, and became the pillar of the Rokkaku family.

Compared with important ministers such as Shindo Kenmori and Goto Takaharu who surrendered without a fight, her behavior can be regarded as a model of loyalty to the emperor.

Thinking of all the difficulties he had made to Kamao Kenhide, Rokkaku Yoshiji inevitably regretted it, and thought that after retreating from the enemy, he must win over this loyal minister.

Looking at the coalition forces below the city, Pu Shengxianxiu felt worried. The coalition forces were advancing far faster than she imagined.

Originally, she did not want to defend here, but returned to her home city, Hino Castle, to resist. After proving her loyalty, she would find an opportunity to surrender.

Who would have known that the coalition forces arrived so quickly that they blocked her in Guanyin Temple City, forcing her to hold on for dear life and continue to perform acts of loyalty.

What's even more disgusting is that because of her hard-working performance, the Rokkaku mother and daughter no longer panicked and did not choose to escape. Instead, they stayed in Guanyin Temple City and waited for help.

Now Pu Shengxianxiu is completely confused. Why don't you run away?

Guanyin Temple Castle has been run by the Rokkaku family for many years. It has high walls and thick walls. If the Shangluo coalition forces attack the city here and suffer too many casualties, the chief culprit, Pu Sheng Xianxiu, will definitely not end well.

Even if Oda Nobunaga admires her, the proud warriors of the Oda family have killed too many close relatives and subordinates, so he will not let her go easily.

Po Shengxianxiu was self-defeating. Originally he just wanted to act and surrendered. But he continued to act and became a mainstay, unable to look back.

If she opens the door and surrenders now, her previous efforts will be in vain. Everyone will understand that she is an actress without any loyalty.

Pu Shengxianxiu was in a dilemma. While accompanying Rokkaku and his daughter on inspection, he was thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, a horse suddenly ran up from the coalition formation below the city and approached the city wall.

Initially, the hexagonal army on the city didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a routine trick to persuade them to surrender. But when the people on horseback arrived at the bottom of the city, exclamations of surprise could be heard all over the city.

A young man wearing a white formation haori once broke through Rokkaku Yoshiken's main formation and entered and exited seven times under the siege of the Miyoshi army.

There were many people in the Rokkaku family who had experienced those two battles. Someone in the city recognized Shiba Yiyin, and the news spread, causing a commotion.

Rokkaku Yoshiken's expression was sullen, while Rokkaku Yoshiharu's expression was ugly.

Kamano Kenhide's heart moved, thinking of the tacit understanding he and Shiba Yoshiyin reached in Sawa Mountain Castle. Could this be...

———

The Rokkaku Kahime warriors on the wall recognized Yoshigan, and Yoshigan also saw Rokkaku Yoshihide and Kamao Kenhide on the top of the wall.

He thought to himself, God helps me.

I originally thought about calling someone to scold the Rokkaku mother and daughter, but I was also worried that Pu Shengxianxiu was not at the top of the city and it would be difficult to do so.

Now that the supporting actors have all arrived, the stage has been set for this big drama of opening the city gates with great justice, waiting for him to come on stage and start singing.

Yiyin dismounted from his horse, holding wine in one hand and a flag in the other, standing thirty steps below the city.

He planted the royal white flag in his hand in the soil, sat down cross-legged, raised his head and drank the wine from the pot.

———

In the distance, Oda Nobunaga saw him looking so free and easy, and couldn't help but twitch his forehead, fearing that a volley of arrows from the city would shoot him to death.

Oda Nobunaga was annoyed by him using his righteousness to oppress him, so he had an inexplicable antagonism in his heart and was unwilling to bow to him.

It could be seen that he was acting wildly and completely without regard for his own safety, and she was extremely worried.

Not only her, Maeda Toshiie had already separated from his own military formation and rushed to the front to ask urgent questions.

"Yutaisuo! Why did Yutaisuo ride to the enemy's city alone?

Pu Sheng's hometown! How can you be called Tongxinzundongbitou! It's just nonsense!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yamanaka Yukimori also arrived, shouting urgently.

"How is this going!"

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked on anxiously and said.

"Stop arguing, send someone to fetch the imperial office quickly!"

Asai Nagamasa glared at Oda Nobunaga. It was she who made the Odaisho angry, and this led to the spectacle of drinking before the battle.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at Wada Weimasa and saw that she nodded slightly but refused to open her mouth to speak.
