Chapter 1367 Sudden Small Bean Bag

Niwa Chohide laughed as if relieved.

"The hall is wise."

Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.

"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't turn against the Sipo family."

Saying that, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but see Shiba Yoshigin's appearance in his heart, couldn't help taking a breath, and pulled his mouth, as if he was swallowing saliva.

"Send someone to send a letter to Asakura Keiji, saying that I respect Jintaden's character and will not attack Tsuruga Port by force. But if she can't keep her own place, don't blame me for being cruel.

After this battle, the shogunate decided the ownership of Tsuruga County, so that she could take care of herself.

In addition, I have sent someone to Mitsuhide Akechi about the news of the invasion of Kime Pass. She should come to intercede for Asakura Keiki soon. "

Just as he was talking, news of Akechi Mitsuhide's request for an interview happened to reach the headquarters, and Oda Nobunaga smiled proudly at Niwa Naghide.

Everything is under control.

---

After receiving the news that the Oda family broke into Megi Pass, Akechi Mitsuhide knew it was time to play by himself, so he took the initiative to come to Oda Nobunaga's main team, and it happened that Niwa Nagahide was also there.

After the three of them greeted each other, Oda Nobunaga asked hypocritically.

"Why is Zhizhiji here? The battle is progressing very smoothly, and you can rest assured to wait for the good news of our army's victory.

I'm busy with military affairs now, so I don't have much time to chat with you. After the provocative Asakura Yoshikage is subdued, we will have plenty of time to talk slowly. "

Facing the aggressive Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide looked calm and said with a smile.

"His Highness Oda has the courage to do things, and is willing to take the initiative to share the worries and problems of the shogunate, which is indeed a blessing to the world.

Asakura Yoshikage refused to accept the general's imperial order, refused Shangluo three times, and even made insulting words to provoke the relationship between the general and His Highness Oda, which is really unforgivable.

However, the appointment of Tsuruga County Secretary Asakura Kageki was an imperial order issued by the previous generation from Kyoto, and she was the Tsuruga County Governor recognized by the shogunate.

The foreign minister implores His Highness Oda to carefully distinguish between loyalty and traitor, and not to let the chaos of war spread to the innocent. "

Akechi Mitsuhide's words made sense.

After Asakura Sodi's death, Asakura Yoshikage asked Asakura Keiki to go to Ichijo Valley Castle several times, wanting to take the opportunity to hold her hostage and seize Tsuruga County, but was rejected by Asakura Keiki, who kept his mother's last words in mind.

Asakura Yoshiki's thin coolness has long been seen through by Asakura Zongdi.That's why she fought for Shiba Yoshigin before she died, leaving behind a blessing of kindness and blessings and Asakura Keiki.

Asakura Keiji was staying in Tsuruga County, not just waiting to die, Shiba Yoshigin behind her has been trying to move around to support her to secure her position.

Shiba Yoshigin gave her a lot of benefits from the Hokuriku Road trade route, so that she could have enough bargaining chips to buy Tsuruga, and at the same time begged Ashikaga Yoshiki of the shogunate to recognize her as Tsuruga County Secretary.

The post of county secretary actually belongs to the official system of the emperor's court.Since the three generations of generals Ashikaga Yoshimitsu slaughtered the emperor's court, only the three military officials and samurai families have this dignity, and they are also known as the three counties.

The county secretary of the Asakura family was actually a fig leaf talking to himself after the Asakura family defeated him and drove away the guardian Shiba's family.

There was a rebellion in Tsuruga County. After Asakura Zongdi put down the rebellion, Asakura Family Governor asked her to guard Tsuruga County in the name of Tsuruga County Secretary.

Today, Shiba Yoshigin, the son of the Shiba clan, begged the shogunate to recognize Tsuruga County Secretary of Asakura Sodi's line.

Although the official position is a bit abrupt, Ashikaga Yoshiki still gave Shiba Yoshikin face and recognized Asakura Keiki's status in ruling Tsuruga County.

Backed by Yoshinami Shiba, Asakura Keiji is almost invulnerable, with both business profits and fame.Asakura Yoshikage had no choice but to die and regain the heart of Tsuruga County, acquiescing to Asakura Keiki's semi-independent status.

Now, Oda Nobunaga started a war on the grounds that Asakura Yoshikage did not respect the shogunate.Akechi Mitsuhide pleaded for Asakura Keiki in the name given by his ancestor Ashikaga Yoshiki, which was not abrupt.

What Oda Nobunaga wants to attack is Yoshikage Asakura who disrespects the shogunate. What does this have to do with Kageki Asakura, the governor of Tsuruga who is loyal to the shogunate?

The truth is this, but if reasoning is useful, why do martial artists need swords and guns?
Oda Nobunaga only said indifferently to Akechi Mitsuhide's defense.

"Since Asakura Kageki has a clear conscience, why did she not follow me to attack Asakura Yoshikage when I led the heavenly soldiers, but resisted the heavenly soldiers? Who knows if they are in collusion?

Whether Asakura Jingji is loyal or traitor has to be carefully investigated.

But, wise Ji, don't worry, I will never wrong a good person, but I will never let a bad person go. "

Oda Nobunaga's words are very shameless. It is obvious that the Oda army raided Tsuruga County to burn, kill and loot. Can the Tsuruga people not resist?
Asakura Yoshikage brought troops to rescue, but Oda Nobunaga insisted that Asakura Kageki was suspected of being a thief, which is really shameless.

But the Oda family is powerful, and the truth is in their fists, so what can Akechi Mitsuhide say?
She could only accompany her with a smile.

"What His Royal Highness Oda said is that it is more appropriate for Asakura Keiki-sama to explain this matter himself, and there will be no more misunderstandings."

Oda Nobunaga made it clear that he was using Asakura Keiki as a bargaining chip and wanted to negotiate terms with the Shiba family.

Akechi Mitsuhide could only nod in agreement with Oda Nobunaga's statement, but she must ensure that Asakura Keiji's life is safe.

Asakura Kageki can't die, this is Akechi Mitsuhide's bottom line, otherwise the Shiba leader will not be able to explain to Shiba Yoshihiro in the past few days.

Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide softening his clothes, Oda Nobunaga said with satisfaction.

"As long as Asakura Keiji doesn't take the initiative to provoke, I will naturally give her a chance to explain and will not attack Tsuruga Port for the time being.

I heard that she doesn't seem to be married yet? "

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know why Oda Nobunaga suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded.

"Indeed."

Oda Nobunaga still smiled, but his eyes were a little cold.

"What do you think these people are thinking? How can the family business continue when they are adults but don't know how to marry a husband and have children?

Speaking of which, Tsuruga Asakura's family is also considered a famous family, will the dignified family governor not be able to find a man?What I hate the most is this selfish Ji warrior who only cares about his own happiness.

This man has no father, no mother, no husband, no daughter, no care, no care.You said, how can the superiors use them with peace of mind?It's scary to think about it.

The best warrior Ji is one who has a family and a job, and owes a lot of debts, so he will be cautious in doing things and work hard without complaint.

That is the good Ji warrior that the lord can use with peace of mind, and it is the backbone of the social stability of the Wu family.You say, is this the truth?
I heard that most of the important ministers of the Shiba family are also unmarried?I am old and not young, but I know everyone and do things without any scruples. I can't help worrying about Jin Dadian.

What did Jindadian think?With these samurai to maintain the family business, can he sleep at night? "

Akechi Mitsuhide still had a smile on his face, but a gleam flashed in his eyes.

After all, Oda Nobunaga couldn't bear it anymore, she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and she was not talking about Asakura Keiji, it was obviously those restless samurai of the Shiba family who tried to get married.

Thinking that Oda Nobunaga and Nokun hadn't had sex for a long time, and seeing Oda Nobunaga's awe-inspiring appearance at this time, the city is as deep as Akechi Mitsuhide, and he couldn't help laughing.

It's really sand in my own eyes, and it's not pleasing to see anyone.Oda Nobunaga's thoughts are really easy to understand.

Shiba's important minister is not married, this gossip is very ugly since Ashikaga Yoshiki was in and out of Kyoto when he was alive.

Back then, Ashikaga Yoshiki deliberately suppressed Jinji Shiba Ling, and he deliberately wanted to let this group of bold Ji samurai know the importance of respect and inferiority, and don't think about toads eating swan meat.

The heroic swordsman general and the majestic and powerful general will die in Nijo Castle, and a large part of the reason is the backlash from Siba's important officials.

In this world, there really is nothing new.

Now it's Oda Nobunaga's turn to be in power, the same recipe, the same taste, and the same warning to Shiba Shiba who refuses to marry, but I don't know how her future fate will be compared to Ashikaga Yoshiki?
Just as Akechi Mitsuhide was about to reply, there was a commotion outside, and Oda Nobunaga frowned.

"Who is making noise outside!"

Mori Ranmaru hurried into the formation, bowed and apologized.

"very sorry.

In the main hall, three Ji warriors came outside to deliver something to you on behalf of His Royal Highness.

But they said that they refused to hand over the things to me to convey, and they must hand them over to you, saying that this is an order from His Royal Highness. "

Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Let them in."

Mori Ranmaru bowed and went out, and soon brought in three Ji warriors, all of whom were busy with travel and dust, and it seemed that they came day and night.

The three entered and saluted, Oda Nobunaga stared at the leader and asked.

"Are you Ah Liang? What did the city lord ask you to give me?"

A Liang carefully took out the small bean bag from his bosom, bowed forward, and presented it to Oda Nobunaga.

"The lord ordered the three of us to hurry up and offer this little bean bag to the hall."

Oda Nobunaga was so puzzled that he took the small bean bag, unable to see what it meant, so he asked.

"What does it mean?"

A Liang replied respectfully.

"My lord said that he picked the summer beans by himself. They are very fresh. I would like to invite the hall to taste them."

Oda Nobunaga was taken aback for a moment, then became furious and cursed.

"Nonsense! I thought it was something big. Is it worth sending three Ji warriors to make a big deal out of it?

The mayor is really getting more and more presumptuous!I'm getting more and more ignorant! "

Ah Liang and the three concubines kowtowed to the ground, facing Oda Nobunaga's furious thunder, they dared not speak.

Akechi Mitsuhide on the side looked at the small bean bag in Oda Nobunaga's hand, but seemed to be interested, and bowed.

"Your Highness Oda, this little bean bag is very interesting, may I have a look?"

Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he threw the bean bag to Akechi Mitsuhide, still muttering dissatisfaction.

"I know how to do these inexplicable things all day long, and I don't know how to give birth to an heir for the Asai family earlier to strengthen the friendship between the two families. Let's see how I deal with him when I go back."

Oda Nobunaga was beating Akechi Mitsuhide, and he couldn't help but have the opportunity to observe her, subdue her, and prepare for the future sleeping with Shiba Yoshigin and taking down Shiba's house.

But the Mayor's things happened to be delivered at this time, which made her a little upset.

The city-kun and Nong-kun have a deep relationship, and they are as shameless as Oda Nobunaga, and a widow who plots against a married man behind Nong-kun's back will be as guilty as being caught.

When she was upset, she didn't realize the deep meaning in the little bean bag behind the mayor's willful behavior.

Perhaps out of self-confidence, Oda Nobunaga didn't realize that the Asai family might betray him.

Akechi Mitsuhide stared at the small bean bag in his hand, and laughed out loud when he saw the mouth of the bag tightly bound at both ends.

"This bag is really interesting. It turns out that both ends are open, and both ends are tied."

It may be that Akechi Mitsuhide smiled too deliberately, Oda Nobunaga and Niwa Naghide looked at the little bean bag at the same time, their faces froze.

Oda Nobunaga turned his head to look at Sanji, who was kneeling and worshiping, and asked.

"Ah Liang, did the city lord ask you to bring me anything?"

A Liang shook his head.

"My lord has not.

It's just that the inner courtyard is not peaceful recently, and the Lord just executed two servants who stole.

This time, it was the master's impromptu intention to deliver things. Before departure, I must give you the little bean bag with my own hands, and I must not give it to someone else. "

A Liang is the city lord's dowry Ji Wushi, he sees many things in his eyes, and somewhat understands the inside story.It's just that she can't say that casually.

The Oda and Asai families are not only relatives-in-law, but also allies, and even close comrades-in-arms who went to Los Angeles together.

Asai Hisamasa was not afraid of the mayor sending things, he only checked the letters, he was confident that Oda Nobunaga would not be suspicious of Asai's family, so it would be fine to send something.

The mayor can say that the Asai family betrayed, but it is not convenient for him to write a letter, so he can only rely on the little bean bag to hint.

And what kind of thing is A Liang? Her status is low, and she is not qualified to say such things at all.

Even if these words came out of her mouth, Oda Nobunaga would find it hard to believe, it might as well be as effective as this ambiguous little bean bag.

At this moment, after hearing Aliang's hint, Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand to Akechi Mitsuhide with a cold face, and Akechi Mitsuhide respectfully offered the small bean bag with both hands.

Oda Nobunaga felt the weight of the small bean bag in his hand.

Will Asai Nagamasa really betray himself?Mayor, a guy who doesn't understand the politics of the samurai family, could he make a mistake?

Oda Nobunaga's gaze turned to Niwa Nagahide who was aside, Niwa Chohide said solemnly.

"Dadian, our army's logistical supplies have to start from South Omi, and cross North Omi Takashima County, Wakasa Country, which is already a long time.

If there is a change in Beijinjiang, the [-] army will be left alone. .I'm afraid. . "

The Nosaka Mountains and Ibuki Mountains in the northern part of the Omi Country intersect at Aifa Pass, separating the two places inside and outside the pass.Wakasa Kingdom and Tsuruga County hang on the coastline outside the pass, and there is very little room for maneuver.

If the back road of the Oda army is cut off, even if it scratches the ground three feet, it will not be able to support the logistical support of the [-] army.

If the front and rear gates were blocked by the Asakura and Asai families, and the Oda army was exhausted and then attacked from the north and the south, the army lacking food, grass and armaments might even collapse instantly.

Oda Nobunaga dared to attack across the Asai family's territory because he believed that Asai Nagamasa, a younger brother and sister, was trustworthy.But now, her younger brother sent a message to imply that the younger siblings are unreliable.

Oda Nobunaga took a deep breath, his face turned cold.She pretended to be calm, glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi who was calm and calm beside her, and said to A Liang in a deep voice.

"The three of you go down and rest for the night first, and return to Xiaogu City tomorrow to tell the mayor that I have received the things."
