Chapter 1196 Tokugawa wants to ride the wall

Tokugawa Ieyasu's visit must be because of the collision of Shiba Yoshigin in the castle town.

She was able to get the news at the first time, and she could immediately find Niwa Chohide as an accompanying guest, so it was obvious that she had premeditated and had been keeping an eye on the castle town.

She is waiting for a good opportunity.

Hashiba Hideyoshi asked softly.

"Main hall, should I avoid it for a while?"

Oda Nobunaga glanced at her and said with a half-smile.

"Avoid what? Are you still detaining the samurai Mihe Ji who caused trouble?
His Royal Highness Tokugawa came here in a hurry, probably for this matter, just to listen to what she had to say. "

Hashiba Hideyoshi swallowed, bowed and said hello.

She already felt that something was wrong, the incident happened suddenly, how could Tokugawa Ieyasu be alarmed by such a little effort?Unless, Tokugawa Ieyasu has been staring at the castle town.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was extremely sensitive in dealing with the world, at this moment the hair on his back stood upside down, and he already felt that he was caught in some kind of vortex.

She secretly glanced at Oda Nobunaga with a calm expression, and thought about Tokugawa Ieyasu's intentions a few more times, sweating more and more.

Soon, Niwa Chohide led Tokugawa Ieyasu into the room, followed by a small bean, who turned out to be Honda Tadakatsu.

The three saluted to Oda Nobunaga, and Niwa Changhide said.

"Hideyoshi is here too."

Hashiba Hideyoshi kowtowed to the ground.

"His Highness Tokugawa, Senior Niwa, you two are well."

Niwa Chohide nodded with a smile, Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed and said.

"I'm not strict, and I'm causing trouble for Ji Yuchai."

Hashiba Hideyoshi was terrified immediately, dared not speak out, and kowtowed to the ground.

Oda Nobunaga saw that Tokugawa Ieyasu's posture was so low that he even apologized to a Sengoku, and couldn't help laughing.

She said as if pointing.

"Your Highness Tokugawa, how can Hideyoshi afford such courtesy from you. Could it be that your coming this time has something to do with Hideyoshi?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart sank, she knew that she was acting eagerly.

These days, Samurai Hime samurai caused a lot of trouble in Kyoto, but Oda Nobunaga has always ignored it.Tokugawa Ieyasu has faintly felt that his thoughts have been seen through by Oda Nobunaga.

However, with the entry of Yoshihiko Shiba into Beijing, the game within the shogunate is about to unfold.Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to wait any longer, and his mentality became more and more impatient.

It's also a coincidence that the samurai Owari Mikawa Hime caused trouble and bumped into Shiba Yoshigin Shangluo's royal driver, which was a god-sent opportunity.

Tokugawa Ieyasu naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she immediately went to Niwa Nagahide and begged her to help accommodate and come to see Oda Nobunaga together.

But Nobunaga Oda had seen through her thoughts a long time ago, and she nodded with a single sentence, leaving Ieyasu Tokugawa embarrassed and speechless for a moment.

Niwa Nagohide saw Tokugawa Ieyasu wryly smiling and said nothing, came out to smooth things over, and said.

"Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi is here, you must be aware of what happened in the castle town.

These days, Owari Mikawa and Fang Ji warriors did not get along well, and there were disputes from time to time.This time, it even made a fuss in front of the Imperial Palace, and both of us were ashamed.

His Highness Tokugawa's idea is that since the Miyoshi family has retreated, the Tokugawa family's military strength should return to its capabilities first.

On the one hand, avoid hurting the harmony among allies, and on the other hand, don't let the shogunate see a joke. "

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Niwa Changhide and said.

"Mi Wuniang, what you said is wrong.

The friendship between the Oda and Tokugawa families is priceless, and the alliance is as firm as a rock.How can the glory of Shangluo supporting the shogun be exclusive to the Oda family?
The Tokugawa family shed blood and sweat, seeing the re-establishment of the shogunate, the honor is now.But you want to drive His Highness Tokugawa back to Tokaido, isn't that bad? "

Niwa Nagahide was shaken by Oda Nobunaga's few words, and Oda Nobunaga looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and said softly.

"Your Majesty Tokugawa, don't think too much.

It's just a few ignorant rough embryos messing around, just teach them a lesson, why bother you to retreat? "

Tokugawa Ieyasu was at a loss for words for a while, unable to speak.Nobunaga Oda saw through her tricks, and at this time he forcibly pulled her away, because he was sure that Tokugawa Ieyasu was cautious and did not dare to turn his face.

Niwa Changhide may not understand the mystery, but Oda Nobunaga is aggressive, and she was ridiculed for being a peacemaker, and she was no longer able to speak up to defend Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was in a cold sweat, she understood it.My unlucky days these days must have been seen by the two His Royal Highnesses as pawns for manipulation.

A few people did not speak, and the room fell into a silence.

At this moment, Honda Tadakatsu, the little bean behind Tokugawa Ieyasu, suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness Oda's words are a bit wrong."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said nothing, looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu turned around and scolded.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and apologize to His Highness Oda!"

Honda Zhongsheng smiled coldly, and a fierce look appeared on his childlike face.

she said coldly.

"The Tokugawa family's Shangluo is for the family of the Ashikaga shogun, and it is for the allies of the Oda family.

What my Highness has done is worthy of the shogunate and His Highness Oda.

Now that Shangluo is over, my Highness wants to return to his skills, why should His Highness Oda stop?
Is this an attitude towards allies?This is the attitude towards the ministers!

I would like to ask His Highness Oda, is the Tokugawa family an ally of the Oda family or a subject? "

Tokugawa Ieyasu was ecstatic, and he brought the little girl Honda Tadakatsu, and he really brought the right person, who can talk!

But on the face, she turned pale and scolded fiercely.

"Honta Tadakatsu! Why did you talk to His Highness Oda? Apologize immediately! I order you to apologize immediately!"

Honda Tadakatsu stared and shouted.

"I wait for Samurai Hime, and I am loyal to the Tokugawa family! We only know Tokugawa, not Oda!

In the battle of Liujiao, His Royal Highness Oda rewarded the samurai Mikawa Hime who attacked the city, I found it strange.Now is a good time to ask to understand, to solve my doubts!
Did the Oda family really regard the Tokugawa family as allies?Or do you think that the Tokugawa family is a subsidiary and can take what you want? "

Tokugawa Ieyasu said angrily.

"Shut up! Get out! Get out of here!"

She turned her head and said sincerely to Oda Nobunaga.

"Sister Master Ji, don't worry about this rough guy, this guy has a straight temper and can't speak."

Oda Nobunaga squinted his eyes and looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu who looked panic-stricken, but his heart kept sinking.

Tokugawa Ieyasu only said that Honda Tadakatsu could not speak, but she did not say that Honda Tadakatsu was wrong.

Another look at Tadakatsu Honda with his unyielding face and unyielding eyes, the corners of Oda Nobunaga's eyes twitched.

Seeing the tense scene, Niwa Changxiu hurried out to put out the fire.

"Your Highness, the two families are of course close allies, so why bother to make trouble over some trivial matter?

Your Highness Tokugawa, why don't you go back first?Think it over again. "

Tokugawa Ieyasu took the steps handed out by Niwa Changhide and nodded.

"I'll take this slut back and teach her a lesson!"

After finishing speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu saluted Oda Nobunaga, held the unconvinced Honda Tadakatsu, and walked away.

Hashiba Hideyoshi carefully watched the whole scene, his heart was like a mirror, and he was indeed involved in the vortex of the Oda Tokugawa's secret struggle.

Her underwear was already wet with cold sweat, she just felt that it was a sudden disaster, really unlucky.Isn't it just to maintain law and order in Kyoto? How did you encounter the game between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Fortunately, both of them were unwilling to tear their faces apart, so Hashiba Hideyoshi, a pawn, was not crushed by the pressure of both sides.

Oda Nobunaga looked at the background of Tokugawa Ieyasu leaving in a hurry, and suddenly asked Niwa Changhide.

"Am I too anxious?"

Niwa Chohide pondered for a while before answering.

"His Royal Highness Tokugawa is loyal and a reliable ally.

The Takeda family has already captured the Shinano and Suruga countries. Without the Tokugawa family as a barrier, the east side of my family's territory would not be so peaceful.

Hall, I implore you to think twice and think about it in the long run. "

Oda Nobunaga nodded slowly, Niwa Changhide was right.

Takeda Harunobu has no faith and no righteousness, even the allies of the Imagawa family can tear up the agreement and invade the Suruga country.If she were allowed to dominate Tōkaidō, the Oda family would be in serious trouble.

The Nobi Plain is the foundation for the rise of the Oda family, and there is no room for loss.If there is no Tokugawa family to stop the aggression of the Takeda family, the Oda family will definitely be very troubled.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's low profile is because she needs Oda Nobunaga's help to resist the soldiers of the Takeda family.But Oda Nobunaga also needs Tokugawa Ieyasu to take care of him, so that he can go deep into the near future with peace of mind.

The covenant between the two parties is to take what they need. Oda Nobunaga thought he was strong, so he tried every means to force Tokugawa Ieyasu into a subsidiary.This thing itself is done disgracefully, a bit low.

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to tear his face apart, so he used the samurai Mikawa Hime to make trouble, and through Honda Tadakatsu's mouth, he showed the Tokugawa family's unyielding.

Niwa Changhide hopes that Oda Nobunaga will accept it as soon as he sees it, and don't push people too much.It would be of no benefit to either party if Tokugawa Ieyasu was really cornered.

Oda Nobunaga thought for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"This Takechiyo is interesting and interesting. Since she gave me face like this, I can't continue to embarrass her.

Mi Wuniang, go to Takechiyo and speak for me.The Oda family and the Tokugawa family are allies, not monarchs.The matter of getting it back is up to her to decide, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere.

Hideyoshi, put all the Hime warriors of the Tokugawa family back.If I'm not mistaken, the Ji warriors who committed the crime should be the group of people who received my reward during the Battle of the Six Corners.

Asking them to return the reward is considered a fine, and this matter ends here! "

After weighing the pros and cons, Oda Nobunaga found that he was still reluctant to accept Tokugawa Ieyasu for a while, and then quickly made a choice.

She also needs Oda Tokugawa's alliance, since she can't win the Tokugawa family, then continue to be a good ally.

As long as the power of the Oda family continues to expand, the strength of the two sides will become more and more unbalanced.When the qualitative change occurs, Oda Nobunaga will make Tokugawa Ieyasu kneel down in front of him.

The world will be hers sooner or later, so why rush for a mere Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Ieyasu Tokugawa walked out of Tofuku-ji Temple and let out a deep breath.

Honda Tadakatsu said with a smile.

"Your Highness, how am I doing?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at her and said.

"Honta Tadakatsu insulted His Highness Oda, and confiscated his salary for one year."

"what???"

Honda Tadakatsu was stunned, and before he recovered, Tokugawa Ieyasu said again.

"Hondo Zhongsheng participated in the battle of Shangluo, and made outstanding contributions. I will reward you with three hundred stones for knowing and doing."

After speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu walked straight forward, and Honda Tadakatsu followed with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness, where do you want to go tomorrow? Do you want to continue taking me there?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head as Shiba Yoshigin's handsome face came to mind.

"I won't take you there."

Honda Tadakatsu pouted and cut his lips.

Tokugawa Ieyasu has always been frugal, and the reward of Sanbaishi Zhixing is rare.Ben Duo Zhongsheng wanted to earn more money, but unfortunately the lord did not give him the chance.

---

The next day, in the tea room of Shiba Mansion.

Shiba Yoshigin and the visiting Tokugawa Ieyasu enjoyed the performance of tea masters.

After serving the tea, the tea man retreated.Yiyin picked up the tea soup and held it in his hands, smelling the aroma of matcha.He is not used to drinking matcha, but the smell is okay.

Tokugawa Ieyasu took a sip respectfully, put down the tea soup, and said.

"Good tea, the tea masters in the imperial platform are really extraordinary, there is no such good craftsmanship in Sanhe."

Yiyin smiled and said nothing, talking nonsense.

Miyoshi went to Luo, and Kyoto was in chaos.Some well-known tea lovers all ran to Sakai Port and took refuge in Gucheng.

This tea man is a newcomer Yoshihiro received from Tokugawa Ieyasu to decorate the tea room from the castle town. He has a P level.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu's sudden visit also surprised Yoshihiro, and he had to treat it with caution.

Oda Tokugawa's alliance was also made by Maeda Toshiie, who was led by Owari Shiba, as a bridge. Speaking of which, Shiba Yoshiyin also had a favor.

But the secret rivalry between Yoshihiko Shiba and Nobunaga Oda when they were in Shangluo can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.Seeing that the shogunate was re-established, some matters were immediately put on the table to be contested.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, a close ally of Oda Nobunaga, suddenly sent a greeting post yesterday, wanting to come to pay a visit, Shiba Yoshigin also had doubts.

What does she mean?
Yoshigin Shiba understands the situation in Tōkaidō, and he knows very well that it is impossible for the Tokugawa family to turn away from the Oda family and join the Shiba family.

If the Takeda family is not eliminated, the Tokugawa family will be firmly tied to Oda Nobunaga's chariot.

Yoshigin was also apprehensive about the Kai no Torora who admired his grandson, let alone Tokugawa Ieyasu, who faced the threat of the Takeda family.

Tokugawa Ieyasu should be very clear that Oda Nobunaga has the same interests as her in the strategy against the Takeda family.The Oda family has a stone height of two million, which is the best helper for the Tokugawa family back to back.

Yoshigin does not expect Tokugawa Ieyasu to turn his back on Oda Nobunaga and join him.So what did she come to ask for at this sensitive moment when the shogunate was re-established?
There was silence in the tea room, the tea makers retreated, leaving only the two lords drinking to each other.

After a while, Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed to Shiba Yoshigin and said.

"Odaisho, I'm leaving."

Yiyin stared and asked.

"This is Your Highness Tokugawa?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu said sincerely.

"Miyoshi was defeated, and the matter in Kyoto was settled. I also left the skill for a long time, and I was worried about family affairs.

This time, I actually want to say goodbye to you. "

Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu's sincere face, Yoshihiro recalled in his mind the first time they met.

At that time, she was still Oda Nobunaga's follower, and she was pulled to play in Owari Shiba Guardian.Oda Nobunaga was unscrupulous, but she was in a panic, lest the secret trip would be exposed.

Yiyin smiled slightly, the little loli back then had finally grown up.

Eighteen changes in the female college, not only the longer and better-looking, but also more and more independent, unwilling to be at the mercy of Oda Nobunaga.
