Oda Nobunaga did not have strong control over his subordinates, and his family members were still in the hands of Gao Xianda, so he was persuaded by Gao Xianda, so naturally some retainers responded to Gao Xianda's call.

After all, Japan is a small place, and the so-called country is only the size of a county in China. Therefore, the journey of the Imakawa army from Suruga to Ohachi is calculated in heaven, not in the year.

So not long after, Gao Xianda received the reply.

Gao Xianda's information source was not limited to the Oda Army's surrenders, but also the cavalry who returned one after another to inquire about the news. However, the response efficiency of these families who sent informants was obviously much higher than that of the cavalry sent by Gao Xianda. Not only did they quickly find the location of Oda Nobunaga's army, but they also conveyed the battle situation back.

But what made Gao Xianda feel more distressed was that most of the family members of the Oda family had sent olive branches to Gao Xianda openly or secretly, and had conveyed some news, but they did not take any action.

"If half of these guys want to rebel, it's better to tie up Oda Nobunaga and send it to me!" Gao Xianda was a little angry, "It's better to be loyal and fight to the end, and you can also make a good reputation."

Of course, Gao Xianda did not intend to tell these words to his family members. After all, more information is better than less information.

Gao Xianda can also get a rough situation if he puts together different statements.

In the past few days, the situation has changed a lot.

At first, the Oda army tried to seize Okazaki Castle by victory, but Okazaki Castle has always been a strong city, no smaller than the Kiyosu Castle. After several generations of the Matsue family, even five times the siege can resist it.

After the Imakawa family's army was stationed in it, morale quickly recovered. Oda Nobunaga's army was a long-distance surprise attack, and there was not enough troops or rations to conquer Okazaki Castle, so Oda Nobunaga stopped when he saw it was better and withdrew his troops.

Along the way, he cleaned up the small number of remaining soldiers of the Imakawa family and counted the weapons and supplies left by the Imakawa family, which was very glorious. He thought that through this war, the power of the Oda family had been preserved and successfully expanded, and completely solved the threat from the Imakawa family.

But then he heard that the city of Kiyosu had been conquered by Gao Xianda. A fire in the backyard was a big deal, so Oda Nobunaga hurried back to the army and headed straight for the city of Kiyosu.

But the guards in Okazaki Castle are not fools, they also have their own sources of information. Of course, they also heard that Gao Xianda had conquered the city of Kiyosu. Moreover, the Oda army retreated so suddenly, and this matter must be true, so they hurriedly sent troops to pursue them from behind.

Nobunaga Oda was in a hurry to go on the road, and had no intention of fighting, so he had to fight and escape. In order to ensure speed, he had to put down the heavy baggage.

So Oda Nobunaga basically returned all the benefits gained in this war to the Imakawa family.

However, this was not the worst. After he withdrew from Tengsanami, he was attacked by Maruen Fort, Washizu Fort and Otaka Castle defenders along the way.

Of course, as the vanguard troops, they suffered heavy casualties when they captured the two forts of the Oda family. Especially as the leader of the vanguard troops, Naomori Ii, actually died in the battle to capture the Marunoen Fort.

Fortunately, most of the vanguard troops are Sankawa people. Now Matsuhira Motoyashi is the head coach, so the command is not hindered.

However, these three troops could only conduct tactical sexual harassment when Oda Nobunaga approached the village and castle, and did not suffer the ability of the Oda army. However, this also made the Oda army, which was already trapped and lacked food and grass, miserable.

The latest news is that Oda Nobunaga's troops have now escaped to the city of Naruto and discovered the fact that Naruto City guards are empty. They are now using this remnant soldier to attack Naruto City. When the city of Kiyosu has fallen, I hope at least a stronghold to rest.

Gao Xianda didn't know if Oda Nobunaga could capture Naruto City, but he knew that Oda Nobunaga was leading a remnant soldier now. He must not give him time to breathe.

"I'm going to go to war!" Gao Xianda called Okabe Motonobu over and said.

"Shouldn't we be stationed in Qingzhou City?" Okabe Motonobu asked in disbelief, "We finally defeated it. If we wanted to give up Qingzhou City and attack Minghai City, why did we leave Minghai City?"

"Haha, I want to go out to fight to guard Qingzhou City." Gao Xianda replied, "If we guard here, they will soon conquer Minghai City. The next step to conquer Minghai City is to counterattack Qingzhou City. Qingzhou City is the old nest of the Oda family, and he will definitely not give up. So we must defeat them before they gain a foothold."

"You also say that Qingzhou City is their old nest. If they use the trick of diversion of tigers and leaving the mountain to transfer us from Qingzhou City, and then sneak back secretly, what should we do?" Okabe Motoshi said, "You know, this is Ohara, and their people's hopes and hidden lines are much richer than ours. I'm afraid that when the army is approaching, there will be an insider in our city to open the door for them. You also see that they can send the news out of the city."

"For this reason, I decided to go to war. I must not give them the opportunity to get close to Qingzhou City. The war should take place within our control." Gao Xianda said, "This time, there are only me and the three hundred cavalry under my command. Don't go out with your subordinates, and you will still be stationed here. Suppress these restless people."

"But if there are only a few people, your safety cannot be guaranteed." Okabe Motoshinobu was anxious all of a sudden, "Sir, your lord has been killed. Your life is the most important thing, and there must be no mistake. Since it is to block the road to the Oda family's attack on the city of Kiyosu, let me go! I, Okabe Motoshinobu, even if I have to fight my life, I have to complete the task!"

Gao Xianda smiled and said, "I understand your thoughts, thank you for your loyalty. But there are some things you can't do. Compared to leading this cavalry, you are better at defending the city. You defend Minghai City well, and I believe you can definitely defend Qingzhou City."

"But sir!" Okabe Motonobu still refused.

"This is an order!" Gao Xianda glared and said, "I order you to defend Qingzhou City at all costs. If there is any mistake, I will only ask!"

Although Okabe Motonobu was still worried about Gao Xianda's safety, Gao Xianda's tough attitude made him swallow the words he said.

"Yes!" He could only stand up straight and replied.

"Okay!" Gao Xianda nodded.

He had already explained to the cavalry captain before, and at this time the three hundred cavalry had already formed a team and were waiting to be at the city.
