The next morning, Gao Xianda ordered two thousand infantrymen, and led his 1,000 guard cavalry team and Meng Yan rushed to Nijo Castle again.

Although Nijo Castle is the residence of the general, because it was under the protection of the Miyo Family before, the Miyo Family must not leave too many soldiers in Nijo Castle, and there are only dozens of guards who maintain daily public order.

When they saw Gao Xianda coming with a large group of people, they were all facing a great enemy, and they didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

However, the guard who was shocked by Gao Xianda yesterday suddenly recognized Gao Xianda who was at the forefront and hurriedly left the city, saying, "Mr. Imakawa, it's you who are here. I'm really a mistake. Are you doing anything?"

Gao Xianda smiled and said, "Open the door, we are here to report to the general."

"Sir, you are really good at joking," said the guard. "Didn't I report to you yesterday? General is not in the city."

Gao Xianda said, "But you said in person yesterday that you did not see the general going out. Now it's just someone telling you that the general is not in the city, which does not mean that the general is really out."

"Sir, what are you talking about?" The guard looked confused.

Gao Xianda said: "If this matter has nothing to do with you, you can get out of here quickly. If the fight really starts, I'm afraid your life will be unsuccessful."

Gao Xianda threatened him lightly, but no one dared to doubt the authenticity of what Gao Xianda said. Because there was no need for him to lie on such a small issue.

Gao Xianda has now led 3,000 troops to Nijo City, which is dozens of times that of Nijo City's guards. These guards are not contractors, so how dare they fight against so many people?

So the guard who held the door looked at Gao Xianda and decided to move out of the way.

But he was not the captain of the guard after all, and he had no right to decide whether to open the door. The gate of Nijo Castle was still closed.

The guard captain saw the situation below on the city wall and told himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and shouted down on the city wall: "Who are the people below? What are you doing? This is the general's residence, and no rash is allowed!"

Gao Xianda said: "I don't want to answer the same question too many times. I came to the general to report my work! I count three numbers. If you don't open the door, don't blame me for siegeing the city!"

The captain of the guard shouted above the wall: "The general is out, not in the city."

Gao Xianda smiled slightly and said, "Siege the city!"

"Yes!" the soldiers under his command replied in unison. So the feet behind began to line up and took out the ladder for climbing the wall. The soldiers in the front row carried their spears on their backs and prepared to climb the wall.

Archers on both wings bent their bows and arrows, pointing to the city wall. Although they do not have a height advantage, they at least have a quantity advantage.

Even if there are only five hundred archers, there are still five hundred arrows in one volley. Even if these guards on the city wall are pierced into cactus one by one, it is not enough.

Moreover, Gao Xianda's current siege cannot be regarded as disrespectful to the general. He has already reported in advance and came to the general to report his work. Although the guards determined that the general was not in the city, no one knew the general's actual whereabouts.

On the other hand, because the general is the nominal co-lord of the world, all the daimyos in various places are actually retainers of the general. And the general is controlled by the Miyo family, so there are no retainers of the general in Nijo Castle.

For a moment, no one in these two cities could make the decision.

Gao Xianda determined that the general was still in the city, so what could these guards do?

Thinking of the "demon" below who burned 50,000 elite soldiers in Guanyin Temple City, the courage that the guard captain finally plucked up now disappeared.

So he hurriedly shouted, "Sir, don't attack the city! Let's open the door!"

Gao Xianda actually didn't think of siegeing the city. Seeing that the guard captain was timid, he smiled slightly and raised his hand. The soldiers of the Imakawa family immediately stopped siegeing the city.

The guard captain had to open the city gate and let the soldiers of the Imakawa family come in.

However, this kind of behavior is no different from surrender, it just saves the process of siege. Gao Xianda did not intend to let them go.

"Call everyone together!" Gao Xianda ordered.

Nijo Castle was not a big city, so the soldiers patrolled Nijo Castle and gathered all the people they could see. Including the guards on the city wall, there were less than a hundred people.

Gao Xianda glanced at it and seemed that this swordsman general was really a general who wanted to strive for progress. At least in his city, there were very few female relatives, only one little maid and two old mothers. Of course, given the weird habits that Japanese daimyos often appear, Gao Xianda carefully checked it. Ashikaga Yoshihiro actually didn't even have a little surname around him, which was enough to show that he did not have that habit.

Only those who devote all their energy except business to the kendo can become a swordsman general.

Gao Xianda nodded and asked those families and guards to be detained separately and then interrogated. It was mainly about the specific details of the general's departure.

But no one knew what happened about the general’s departure!

In other words, everyone felt that the general had indeed left Nijo Castle, but no one saw the general leave with his own eyes, or that the general had told someone where he was going.

But everyone thinks that the general has left.

You pass it to me, he pass it to him. Anyway, they are all the sources of hearsay. Gao Xianda searched for the sources one by one, and finally the route could be recycled. They were confronted in person, but they didn't even admit it, and they said it was the other party who told him.

"What's going on?" Gao Xianda asked more and more questions.

"Illusion." Meng Yan said, "They are likely to have been infected with Illusion."

After a illusion performance that deceived 50,000 people, Meng Yan can now be called a illusion master. Since he said it was an illusion, it is very likely that this is true.

"How did they do it?" Gao Xianda said.

"I don't know." Meng Yan said, "How to do it doesn't matter, what matters is what they want to do?"

"What do they want to do?" Gao Xianda asked.

"I don't know either." Meng Yan shook his head.

Meng Yan, who claimed to be "Sai Zhuge", didn't know the reason for the incident, and Gao Xianda had no idea for a moment.

"I can only search from Nijo Castle first." Gao Xianda said, "Send someone to search for Matsunaga's whereabouts."

So Gao Xianda ordered a thorough search of Ertiao City to see if he could find any clues.
