Chapter 1095 Oda Family Loyalty

With such a statement, it is enough to deceive Yoshiaki Ashikaga who grew up in the temple.She nodded, embarrassed to say.

"Don't say something like a public official, and spread something like that, it seems that I am presumptuous.

Call Your Highness first, when I return to Kyoto to take over the throne, it will not be too late to change my words. "

Niwa Chohide took the order respectfully, Wada Yuimasa and Hosokawa Fujitaka were stunned for a moment, and they were impressed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki's good deception.

Before that, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also kept saying that Oda Nobunaga had behaved badly and was unwilling to meet her envoys.

At this moment, he was coaxed to be happy by a few good words, and he actually believed the excuses of the other party's envoy.The political structure of the city government is really too tender.

After some courtesies, Ashikaga Yoshiaki had a good impression of the Oda family.She insisted on her identity, and it was not convenient for her to ask for help, so she gave Hetian Weizheng a wink.

Wada Weizheng nodded slightly to express his understanding, so he came forward and said.

"Master Niwa, you just said that His Highness Oda ordered you to come and serve, and you are the only one?"

Niwa Chohide said seriously.

"When I heard about the Kyoto Incident and the death of the general, my Oda family was filled with righteous indignation.

It's just that a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings.

His Royal Highness Oda, as the Owari Guardian, has the responsibility of guarding the soil.If there were no Ashikaga heirs to come forward to preside over the overall situation, it would be difficult for the Oda family to send volunteer soldiers to Shangluo to avenge the general.

Now that His Highness Ashikaga is here, we loyal shogunate samurai can be regarded as having found the backbone. "

Niwa Chohide lowered his head and wept, Wada Yuimasa wiped his eyes with his sleeves, both looked as if they had found the Optimus Pillar and wept with joy.

In fact, they have been in contact with each other before, and they have already explored each other's bottom, and each of them knows it well.

Wada Yoshiaki wants to use the female soldiers of the Oda family to go to Luo, and Niwa Chohide needs the banner of Ashikaga Yoshiaki to help the Oda family's forces penetrate into the near future.

Both sides take what they need and hit it off.

It's just that Wada Yoomasa and Hosokawa Fujitaka planned a trip to Asakura's house for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.If you want to take a face-saving strategic turn, you have to go through a formality, and today is the completion of this process.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is easy to fool, she grew up in a temple, and she has only a half-knowledge of the hypocrisy among the samurai family, so it is not difficult to persuade her.

But Hosokawa Fujitaka is not easy to fool, she is the heir of the Izumi Hosokawa family, and she has grown up in the political arena of the Kyoto shogunate.

Wada Yoomasa cooperated with Niwa Chohide to finish a scene, and his eyes drifted to Hosokawa Fujitaka, only to see her gloomy face, and his heart skipped a beat.

Hosokawa Fujitaka came here on behalf of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, and the two sides are still working closely together to find a strong daimyo for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shangluo to succeed him.

But Chaocang's family suffered setbacks, which caught the two of them off guard.Fortunately, the willows are bright and the flowers are bright, and the Oda family took the initiative to deliver them to their door.

But why did Hosokawa Fujitaka look so ugly?She doesn't want the Oda family to get involved?

Wada Yuomasa was a little puzzled.

The old party of Ashikaga Yoshiki, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, and the Oda family, the interests of the three parties should be the same for the time being, that is, to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo to become a general.

Even if they turn their faces in the future, it will be after the matter is done.Why is Fujitaka Hosokawa dissatisfied at this time?There is no reason.

Hosokawa Fuji Takami Wada Yuimasa poked his head at him, suppressed his disgust for Oda Nobunaga, and forced a smile at her, which was considered to be acknowledgment.

She can't abolish the public for personal reasons.

The Hosokawa Mibuchi family is not strong enough to complete Shangluo independently, and this matter requires the support of powerful daimyos from outside the domain.

No matter what Oda Nobunaga did to Shiba Yoshigin, the Oda family is the best helper Ashikaga Yoshiaki can find now, and he cannot be missed.

With the addition of the Oda family, and her family's in-laws, the Asai family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has a greater chance of success in Shangluo.

Hosokawa Fujitaka calmed down and said.

"His Royal Highness Oda's loyalty to the emperor, I am very moved. It's just that our time to go to Luo is a little tight, can the Oda family cooperate?"

Niwa Changxiu nodded. She had communicated with Wada Yuimsa privately and already knew the plan of this group of people.

They want to kick Sibo Yiyin away and complete Shangluo by themselves, so that they can get all the political dividends of supporting a new general.

After the beginning of spring, Shiba Yoshiyin may rush back from Kanto at any time. The time is indeed a little tight, but this is also in the interest of the Oda family.

Shibo Yiyin has too much influence in recent days. If he takes the lead in going to Luo this time, the others will be busy for nothing, and they won't even be able to drink soup.

If the Oda family wants to use Shangluo to squeeze their power into the near future, they must rush to get the maximum benefit before Shiba Yoshiyin returns.

Hosokawa Fujitaka's question was also Ashikaga Yoshiaki's most concerned thing, she stared at Niwa Nagahide waiting for her answer.

Niwa Chohide said calmly.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness Ashikaga, when my lord learned of the accident in Kyoto, he had already accepted the surrender form of the northern Ise samurai family and was ready to return it.

The army of the Oda family has been waiting for the opportunity to avenge the general, and they can mobilize the army at any time to protect you from ascending the throne.

It's just the route to Shangluo that requires some planning. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki seemed to understand, she didn't understand military affairs, but knew that the Oda family would not delay her plan.

But Hosokawa Fujitaka seemed to have caught something, and asked.

"The Oda family and the Asai family are related by marriage, and they never broke through to enter Kita Omi, and went around the northern shore of Lake Biwa to break into the Kyoto Basin through Hirayama.

What does Niwa-sama think of this marching route? "

Niwa Changhide smiled slightly and said.

"Master Hosokawa doesn't know, but my lord has already taken over Suzuka Pass from the Shiba family, and is also considering going to Minami Omi."

Hosokawa Fujitaka frowned slightly, looked at Yuimasa Wada, saw her nodding, and knew that this was the actual benefit that the Oda family asked for to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki go to Luo.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard them talk about the marching route, with a look of ignorance and ignorance, completely unaware of what these two routes mean.

Sato Pass, Hakone Pass, and Suzuka Pass, from east to west, are also known as the three major difficulties of the Tokaido.

Suzuka Pass is located in the Suzuka Mountains. It is the intersection of the borders of Omi, Iga, and Ise. Its strategic location is very important.

Mountains can be crossed, but large-scale military and material circulation must pass through Suzuka Pass to reduce wear and tear.

At the beginning, Liujiao Yixian was not reconciled to the decline of his family business, so he regrouped and went to the Northern Expedition.

The general Maeda Yoshitoshi, who was left behind by Shiba Yoshigin, attacked from Iga country, beat Koga all over the place, and pinned down the rear of the Rokkaku family.

It was in this battle that Maeda Masayoshi captured Suzuka Pass in the hands of Koga.

Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know how the Oda family got Suzuka Pass from Maeda Masayoshi.But with this gate in hand, the Oda family can launch an offensive from Kita Ise and break into Koga County in Namomi.

Omi is one of the most important neighboring countries in recent times. The domestic business along the shore of Lake Biwa is developed, and there are many and fertile plains. It is close to the mountain city of Kyoto, and it is the east gateway of recent days.

With Lake Biwa as the center, the route to Kyoto is divided into two marching routes, north and south.One went to the north bank and bypassed the Biliang Mountains, and the other went to the south bank to break into the territory of the Liujiao family of Nanjinjiang.

The Suzuka Pass is just an excuse. It is more convenient to enter and exit without breaking through the pass to connect Kita Omi and Mino Country.

What Niwa Chohide meant was that the Oda family was interested in the Minami Omi Rokkaku family's territory.

What is the benefit of the Oda family helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki go to Luo?You can't go home happily with a certificate of appreciation, can you?

Niwa Chohide emphasized that Minami Omi, the purpose is already clear, the Oda family wants the Liujiao family's territory, and Shangluo is a false plan to attack Guo.

Hosokawa Fujitaka thought about it carefully, this is why Asai Nagamasa got involved.The North Omi Asai family and the South Omi Liujiao family are incompatible, and sooner or later they will have to fight.

The Oda family and the Asai family help Yoshiaki Ashikaga go to Luo, and the army marches into the territory of the Rokkaku family in the name of righteousness. Does the Rokkaku family agree or not?
You know, the Liujiao family couldn't escape the matter of Sanhao's family going up to Luo to kill the king.Her family contained a large number of Ashikaga Yoshiki's army, so that the empty Kyoto was easily captured by the Miyoshi trio.

This time the Oda family went to Luo, no matter whether they went through Mino country's non-break pass or Ise country's Suzuka Pass, there was only one marching route, and that was to go through the land of Nan Omi.

If the Liujiao family didn't cooperate, they beat her.If they cooperate, they will seize the territory along the way and abolish her.Anyway, the Oda family wants the land, and the Asai family wants the Liujia family to die, and both sides get what they need.

Hosokawa Takashi thinks about it, this matter is not harmful to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, nor is it harmful to Wada Yuimasa, the old Ashikaga party.Most importantly, there is no harm to Hosokawa Mibuchi's family.

The sites of the Hosokawa and Sanbuchi families are in Izumi and Beihanoi, both in the west.The Omi country has overturned the sky and done things about our two families.

As long as the Oda family and the Asai family have enough motivation to send troops to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo, everyone will have benefits to share.

Hosokawa Fujitaka thought and thought, and finally nodded his head and said.

"The Liujiao family colluded with the Miyoshi family, and they bear unshirkable responsibility for the death of the ancestors.

If the Oda family wants to go to Luo, why not go to Minami Omi and ask Yoshiharu Rokkaku for an explanation, so as to comfort the spirit of the ancestors in heaven. "

Seeing her let go, Wada Yoomasa and Niwa Nagohide relaxed.Only Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who didn't know the mystery, agreed.

"It's really time to ask the Liujiao family for an explanation."

Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at her helplessly, this poor official was really ignorant of the dirty politics of the samurai family.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is dead, who really cares about a dead person?Even if it is a dead general, he is not as good as a chicken.

Pulling the dead out to speak out was just to find a reasonable excuse for the Oda family to attack the Liujiao family, so that everyone could save face.

Wada Yoomasa and Hosokawa Fujitaka need the military strength of the Oda Asai family, but they don't think the Rokkaku family will be killed so easily.

The Liujiao family has been in Minami Omi for hundreds of years, and the Ashikaga Shogunate failed to crush her family to death when it was prosperous, so they wouldn't be killed by an upstart Oda Nobunaga, right?
They can wait for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to succeed in Shangluo and succeed General Ashikaga, and then go back and slowly clean up the mess in Omi.

Niwa Changxiu didn't know that the other party already had the idea of ​​crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so she was full of joy at this time.Finally, he helped Oda Nobunaga to catch the express train to Shangluo, the Lord must be very happy.

She said.

"His Highness Ashikaga and all the adults are sympathetic, and the Oda family is very grateful. I will rush back and tell the good news to the lord.

I implore His Royal Highness Ashikaga to send envoys to go with me, so that the Oda family can raise righteous soldiers to protect the emperor Shangluo, without losing the honor and morality. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki said happily.

"Naturally, Wada Hime, you should work hard and accompany Niwa Chohide for a walk."

Wada Yuomasa bowed and said.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will live up to my mission.

Apart from the Oda family, I beg Your Highness to allow me to represent you as an envoy to the Asai family.Convince His Royal Highness Asai Nagamasa with righteousness to protect you in Shangluo together. "

Wada Yuomasa sees clearly.

If the Oda family goes south to Jiangshangluo, the Liujiao family will be in bad luck, and Asai Nagamasa will definitely be willing to get involved.Opportunities to strike down a sworn enemy are rare and should not be missed.

Wada Yoomasa wanted to strike while the iron was hot, using the attitude of the Oda family to leverage the Asai family's attitude, paving the way for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Luo.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki said happily.

"Hetian Ji, just let go and do it. I'm waiting for your good news."

Niwa Chohide smiled and talked about it.

"His Royal Highness Ashikaga, although the Oda family is full of confidence in the matter of Shangluo, they are unwilling to cause misunderstandings and hostility among the nearby powerful vassals.

Could you please come forward and say hello to avoid some unnecessary trouble. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded in confusion, she didn't understand the other party's cryptic meaning.

Hosokawa Fujitaka on the side understood it, and asked back.

"Niwa-sama is referring to the Shiba family?"

Niwa Chohide bowed.

"Exactly."

The Shiba family's territories in recent days are mainly Peking University and Iga Kingdom, as well as the Ten Thousand Stones Todo Territory in the middle of Omi Kingdom.

The old Ashikaga party, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, and the Oda family, in order to prevent Shiba Yoshigin from taking advantage of them, these three parties secretly connected with Shangluo.

Yoshigin Shiba was not nearby, so he couldn't stop them from moving.But for this matter, will the Spoel Council have any opinions in recent days?
Iga country is just south of Minami River. If the Shangluo army was fighting against Liujia Miyoshi in the front, and was hit by Shibo with a black brick in the back, it would be too unjust to die.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally understood when she heard about Shiba's house, she frowned and hesitated.

"The Shiba family wouldn't do this, would they? Colluding with the regicide rebels like Miyoshi Liujiao, the Kenshin Guild will be discredited."

Niwa Chohide looked helplessly at this innocent Ashikaga twins.

In the past few days, the Sibo leader really wanted to send troops to stab a knife in the back, so why did he need to form an alliance with Sanhao and Liujiao? He could find other excuses to block the mouths of the concubines.

Even if it can't be covered up afterwards, it's a big deal to throw a few blamers out.Siba Yiyin is not around here, and some people in Sibo collar have made arbitrarily assertive claims and tarnished the reputation of the lord in the past few days.

Nothing is a pot that can’t be overthrown by harakiri. If one cut is not enough, then cut a few more.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't understand, Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed.

"Of course Lord Qianxin would not do this, but there are always young people who are self-righteous and fail to live up to your kindness.

Leave this matter to me. I will go to Iga Country to meet Mitsuhide Akechi and seek her understanding. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka very much does not want to deal with Akechi Mitsuhide, this old friend has become the most disgusting rival in love in her eyes.

Taking advantage of the danger of others, he used his own value to coerce Shibo Yoshihiro to commit the evil of physical charity.For the pleasure in the crotch, Akechi Mitsuhide's despicable actions made Hosokawa Fujitaka want to vomit.
