Chapter 1151 Anti-Season Battle

Shiba Yoshiyin, who was regarded as a scourge by the Miyoshi and Liujiao families, finally stepped into the near area again after failing to break through just now.

The last time he came to the nearest few days, he and Maeda Masayoshi walked to Kita Ise, crossed the Suzuka Mountains and entered Minami Omi.

Naturally, the army cannot go over mountains and mountains this time.Bupo County at the border of Mino Country and Omi Country is the best way to get in and out of Jinji.

The Bupo Pass to the west of Bupo County is one of the three passes that divide the Kanto and the West in a broad sense, and it is also the most suitable one among the three passes for the passage of large troops.

Not Breaking Pass is not a mountain pass, but a small basin and plain.If one day the Kansai and Kanto forces intend to confront each other, it would be a good story that will last forever.

Shiba Yoshigin belongs to a small army, the main ones are Maeda Toshiie's Owari Shiba led two reserve teams, and Yamanaka Yukimori's Kanto Hime Samurai Regiment of [-] people.

As the core figure of Shangluo this time, Yoshihiro Shiba set off first with his army, and went to Sawa Mountain City to contact all parties.

Oda Nobunaga mobilized [-] soldiers, of course it is impossible to go out together.The army along the way set out in sequence according to the plan, passed through the pass without breaking through, and went to Sawa Mountain City to gather.

Sawayama Castle is the gateway to North Omi, and this city protects the three counties that are the foundation of the Asai family behind them.

After the Battle of Norada, the Asai family took over the three counties of Kita Omi that had been taken by the Liujiao family.

Among them, Takashima County is west of Lake Biwa, Inugami County and Aichi County are east of Lake Biwa.The Todo leader of Fujido Toraka is located in Inugami County.

Fujido Toraka is a formidable person. She took advantage of the prestige of the Shiba family to become a powerful samurai in Inugami County, and had many contacts with local samurai in Aichi County, which caused Nagamasa Asai a headache.

If this man had not come from a humble background, he would have made a career long ago.Fortunately, once he met Yoshihiro Shiba, he was able to influence the samurai families of the two counties with a territory of [-] stones, which is very skillful.

Shiba Yoshigin just entered the Omi country, and met Todo Takataka and Todo Takataka, mother and daughter, who came to greet him.They had already mobilized the army and joined Shiba Yoshigan's army.

Shiba Yoshigin's army was small, and the rich and powerful Oda Nobunaga took over all the supplies of Shiba's army with a wave of his hand.

Since he didn't have to worry about logistics, in order to show respect, Fujido Toraka left a few retainers in charge of spring plowing, and hurriedly brought his daughter and elites to serve for the imperial platform.

After Fujido Toraka saluted, Yoshiyin said cheerfully.

"Master Fujido, I haven't seen you for two years, and your demeanor is even better than before."

Ever since Fujido Toraka obtained the status of the imperial family and joined the Shiba family, he is no longer the wild man of the country who was bullied by others and wandered outside the guardian system.

The past two years have been smooth and smooth, no more than when the Fujitang people were oppressed and bullied by various means. Of course, the more they live, the more nourished they become, and the more energetic they become.

Yiyin looked at her radiant face, standing with Fujido Takahu's daughter, he had the illusion of being sisters, and he couldn't see the vicissitudes of the past.

Fujido Toraka said respectfully.

"I am praised by the royal platform, but I dare not compare with you. You are the heroic figure, even better than before."

Fujido Toraka's words are not flattery.

At that time, she thought that the lord was as handsome as a monster, and there were rumors in Kyoto that Yuzao was reincarnated.It's good now, not like a monster, but directly into a fairy.

Shiba Yoshigin, with the system's charm added to the top, not only possesses the eternal youth of sixteen, but also has a holy temperament that will not be violated in life, and is also a giant whose height is far higher than that of ordinary men.

In the past few years, his status has become more and more noble, and when he goes in and out of people, he is always saluted and kowtowed by others.After a long time, the breath of the superior has become stronger, and he is not angry and arrogant.

When Fujido Toraka saw it, he couldn't help sighing.People are still so individual, but no one dares to regard such characters as vixen anymore, they can only say that they are angels descended from the earth, and they cannot be desecrated.

Hearing her heartfelt praise, Yiyin just smiled and said nothing, he had already become numb after hearing such words too much.

It's normal to be praised for being handsome, but if one day someone calls him ugly, Yiyin will be surprised.

He called Ishida Mitsunari and said to Fujido Toraka.

"When I was away for a few days, you specially came here to recommend Ishida Hime for me. She has outstanding talents. She accompanied me to Kanto and helped me with many things.

Speaking of which, I have not yet rewarded you for your meritorious deeds. "

Fujido Toraka didn't dare to say anything, but his face was full of smiles.

She recommended Ishida Mitsunari in the first place to win over the Ishida family in Aichi County.Rather than saying that she has meritorious service, it is better to say that the lord is kind and helped her win over the local martial arts.

I just didn't expect that Ishida Mitsunari did a really good job. Not only did the Ishida family feel grateful to Todo Toraka, but in the future, Todo Toraka would also have a network of help in Shiba's family.

Ishida Mitsunari greeted Fujido Toraka with a smile, and she really thanked the referrer.If it weren't for Fujido Tiger's recommendation, how could a mere daughter of the land of Ishitian Village have what she is today.

She is forming the Sibo Zhong Fund, once successful, she will have great power in the future.At this time, she saw that the lord valued Fujido Toraka, and she also deliberately made friends with him, so as to have a strong support in Shiba's family in the future.

Fujido Toraka and Ishida Mitsunari both intended to befriend each other, and the atmosphere was naturally warm.

After they exchanged greetings, Yoshihiko Shiba asked Todou Toraka.

"What's the situation in Omi?"

Fujido Toraka said solemnly.

"The Asai family has been fully mobilized, almost at any cost.

You know it's spring plowing time and everything should make way for farming.

However, in order to eradicate the mortal enemy of the Liujiao family in one fell swoop, His Highness Asai mobilized a large number of farmers and soldiers at this time, which may affect the spring plowing. "

Yiyin nodded, patiently listening to her talk.

In the Norada battle three years ago, although the Asai family barely defeated the Liujiao family, they also suffered heavy losses.

Takashima, Inugami, and Aichi's samurai families nominally belonged to the Asai family, but because the Asai family's strength was greatly damaged, they could not strengthen their control.

Later, during the Northern Expedition of Liujiao Yixian, the Asai family had no choice but to seek the support of local samurai families in the three counties in order to resist the offensive of the Liujiao family.

Since then, the independence of local forces has greatly increased, making it even more difficult to control.For example, the famous Takashima family in Takashima County on the west bank of Lake Biwa has almost become a country within a country.

On the east bank of Lake Biwa, Inugami, the two counties of Aichi, and Todou Toraka, who fished in troubled waters, caused Asai Nagamasa even more headaches.

Fujido Toraka is Shiba's retainer, but he has a strong prestige in the two counties.The samurai family of the two counties used the leader of Sibato as a shield to prevent the Asai family from collecting military food and service from the local samurai family.

Moreover, the troubles of Asai's family are not only in Kita Omi's interior, but also the Rokkaku's family who is always spying on Kita Omi, making Asai Nagamasa restless.

During the past three years, Asai Nagamasa recuperated internally and regained his strength.Marry the Oda family with foreign countries and find powerful foreign aid.

Today's Shangluo event is a great opportunity that Asai Nagamasa has dreamed of.

Asai Nagamasa and Oda Nobunaga have already negotiated, and they will use this trip to Los Angeles to completely defeat Minami Omi's Rokkaku family.In order to achieve this goal, Asai Nagamasa spared no expense.

Oda Nobunaga's anti-seasonal battle is to take advantage of the spring plowing season to catch the Liujiao family by surprise.

The Liujiao family has managed Nanjinjiang for hundreds of years. Even though the family's hearts are now scattered and their power has declined, as long as they defend the city, they can still cause a lot of trouble for the Shangluo army.

It's impossible for Shiba Yoshiyin to pull out city by city, right?The coalition forces have different ideas. If the time is too long, or the losses become larger, there will definitely be problems within themselves.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga's anti-season campaign is the best choice.

The Liujiao family wanted to defend the city to the death, but the army of Shangluo was about to attack during the spring plowing season. Would the Liujiao family still want to farm?

Either stick to the city and fight with the Shangluo army, and when the spring plowing time is missed, it will be too late to replant.When the autumn harvest comes, the food production will be greatly reduced. Will the six-cornered retainer group survive?

Either go out of the city to fight in the field, defeat the Shangluo army, and then cultivate the land well.But the question is, if they have the confidence to fight Shiboyi Ginno, why should the Liujiao family stick to the city?

Oda Nobunaga's style of fighting against the season is simply playing a rogue.It's good to win, but it's okay to lose.Anyway, after tossing back and forth a few times, the enemy's territory will definitely collapse.

The Oda family relied on their own abundance of food and used food to smash the opponent.Who would a normal person ignore spring plowing and send troops to beat others?Famine in the farming age is a disaster more terrible than war.

However, the Asai family paid a greater price for this anti-seasonal battle.

Oda Nobunaga can leave some mobilization force to continue spring plowing in his own territory, and only needs to mobilize the standing army.

However, the Asai family had to mobilize a large number of farmers and soldiers to support the supply line for tens of thousands of troops to cross the border.

Food needs to be transported by manpower. Even if the Oda family provides military food, the logistics line of the army in Omi still needs the transportation of farmers and soldiers from the local samurai family.

For the Asai family to fight against the season this time, it will inevitably affect their own spring plowing.But in order to get rid of his arch-enemy once and for all, Asai Nagamasa was desperate.

Listening to Fujido Toraka explaining the key points, Yoshihiro couldn't help thinking.

After three years of training at the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa was already impatient to attack again and make contributions.But Oda Nobunaga, will she be happy?
Before defeating the Rokkaku family, Asai Nagamasa and Oda Nobunaga were the closest allies, and they shared common goals and interests.

But after defeating the Liujiao family, in order to compete for the fertile land of Nanjinjiang, the scene will be ugly.

Shiba Yoshigin is very clear about Oda Nobunaga's temperament, and he has always been a wicked woman who eats everything.She is used to domineering, eating meat by herself, others may not have soup to drink.

It's just that Asai Nagamasa is arrogant, will she swallow it?

Back then, the Liujiao family was in full swing, and the Asai family was attached to them.Asai Nagamasa just couldn't bear the excessive demands of Yoshihide Rokkaku, so he insisted on fighting a battle against Norada where the enemy is strong and we are weak.

If Shiba Yoshigin hadn't charged through Rokkaku Yoshiken's main formation, the outcome of that fierce battle is unknown.

Even with the help of Shiba Yoshigin, Asai Nagamasa won, and the Asai family won very reluctantly, and it was a loss for both sides.

Asai Nagamasa refused to compromise even when he knew that there was a high probability of defeat.Now the situation of Asai's family is far better than before, will she compromise with Oda Nobunaga, an outsider?
Not too possible.

Yi Yin thought about it, looked at Fujido Toraka, and asked suddenly.

"His Highness Asai and the son who married the Oda family, is their relationship good?"

Yoshigin is thinking in his heart whether Asai Nagamasa will compromise with Oda Nobunaga because of his good relationship with his married husband.

But to Fujido Toraka's ears, these words had a different meaning, her expression was a little strange, but she immediately covered it up with seriousness.

There have always been rumors in Kita Omi that Asai Nagamasa is not close to men.In the past few years, although she has treated the young master of the Oda family as a guest, she seldom has intercourse.Therefore, no heirs have been born so far.

But Fujido Toraka knew some more exciting inside information, which was related to Shiba Yoshigin in front of him.She suddenly became entangled, should she say it, or not?

To put it bluntly, this remark is a bit presumptuous and unqualified. After all, it is not good for a minister to criticize the emperor's personal relationship.

Because of the gossip, Asai Nagamasa has always had a crush on Shiba Yoshigin, so he ignored other men, including his husband, Ichi-kun.

This rumor sounds absurd, but Fujido Toraka somewhat believes it.She glanced carefully, and Shiba Yoshigin, who was already as handsome as a god descending from heaven, sighed secretly, so handsome.

But if you don't say it, the lord asks, she can't do it if you don't say it, there must be an explanation.

Fujido Tiger thought about it, and finally said carefully.

"It is said that His Highness Asai has a good relationship with her husband, but they have no children yet."

Yiyin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Fujido Toraka was also relieved to see that the lord did not continue to question.She's not lying, she's just skipping some details, which doesn't count as deceiving the lord.

When she came back to her senses, her mind was a little tangled again.The lord asked about Asai Nagamasa's relationship between husband and wife.Could it be that the lord treats her too. .Doesn't that mean that the man is affectionate and the concubine is interested?
Fujido Toraka suddenly felt a little congested in his throat, as if he had lost his breath, and then he couldn't control it, and began to cough violently.

Yiyin also said with concern.

"The spring is cold, Mr. Todo, please pay attention to your body."

Fujido Toraka bowed and thanked the lord, and smiled wryly in his heart, thinking to himself why he had all these things.For this kind of thing, guessing wrong is rude, guessing right is even more troublesome, it is better not to know.

Yiyin didn't know about the wild thoughts in Fujido Toraka's mind, he was thinking about major matters in Shangluo.

How Asai Nagamasa and Oda Nobunaga will fight in the future, let's put it aside for a while, the most important thing now is to complete Shangluo.

Shiba Yoshigin is no stranger to the assembly point of Sawayama Castle.The first time he came to fight in recent days, he defeated Yoshiken Rokkaku in Norada near Sawayama Castle.

To the south of Sawayama Castle is Norada, and then to the south across the Aichi River, passing through Aichi County, which is the territory of the Minami Omi Rokkaku family.

Yiyin was considering the arrangements for the war, when an envoy from the Asai family arrived in a hurry.

---

Xiaogucheng Residence, the tea room in the inner courtyard.

"what!"

Asai Nagamasa widened his eyes, pointed at his husband, Mr. Ichi, and said sharply.

"Can you say that again!"

The Lord Shi picked up the tea soup in front of him, took a sip, and said calmly.

"I sent someone to invite the imperial platform to come to Xiaogu City for a while."

Mr. Shi and Mr. Nong are similar in temperament, and their thoughts are so similar.They couldn't help feeling jealous, and wanted to see Shiba Yoshigin with their own eyes.
