Chapter 1389 Helpless to meet pig teammates

Asakura Yoshikage asked with a smile.

"The Liujiao mother and daughter started an incident in Nanjinjiang, what about us? Where should we fight?"

Asai Nagamasa said seriously.

"His Highness Oda is planning in Gifu City, and the mobilization of various places has not yet been completed.

Our two families attacked Mino Country with all our strength, forcibly broke through Sekigahara, took the line of Tarui and Akasaka, and threatened Ogaki Castle.

Naomoto, the lord of Ogaki Castle, is one of the three members of Ximino, and has a strong influence in Ximino.

The Mino Samurai were not without complaints about His Highness Oda's innovative policies.In particular, the West Meinong Samurai took the initiative to surrender, and they were stronger than the suppressed East Meinong Samurai.

If we can win the support of Nishi Mino's tyrants, sleep against the local samurai, and pull some of the Mino samurai into our camp, we will be sure to fight against the Oda family. "

Bupoguan is actually a small plain surrounded by Mount Ibuki, Mount Sasao, Mount Tenman, Mount Matsuo, and Mount Nangong. Its area is about the size of twenty football fields, and it is also called Sekigahara.

Guanyuan, as one of the geographical dividing lines of the Kanto and Kansai in a broad sense, is the most suitable place for field battles among the three passes.

Break through from Sekigahara and enter Mino Country, then to the east is Tarui, then to the east is Akasaka, and then Ogaki Castle.This is the western part of the Nobuo Plain, which is very suitable for the movement of the Grand Army.

Since the local area was conquered by the Oda family, it has not been invaded by foreign enemies for several years.

Now that the summer harvest has just passed and the grain is abundant, the logistical pressure on Asai and Asakura's two coalition forces will be small, which is conducive to a long-term confrontation.

Oda Nobunaga's set of innovative policies actually made traditional samurai very disgusted.

But the problem is that the samurai Mu Qiang and Oda Nobunaga are getting stronger and stronger, and the Oda retainers have been reduced to eagle dogs in front of her. Who dares to kick her?
But on the other hand, Oda Nobunaga can only go from victory to victory. As long as she shows signs of decline, all the contradictions buried by the radical policy along the way will explode in an instant, blowing her to pieces.

Asai Nagamasa did not expect to defeat Oda Nobunaga, the only thing that could defeat Oda Nobunaga was the hidden dangers she had planted.

What Asai Asakura's coalition forces need to do is to plant a thorn in Nishi Mino, so that the local samurai can see that Oda Nobunaga is unable to drive out foreign enemies, and they will naturally think carefully.

The longer the time drags on, the more trouble Oda Nobunaga will be in. As long as there is a sign of disintegration within the Oda family, Asai Nagamasa's goal will be achieved.

After Oda Nobunaga lost the ability to invade the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa was willing to restore harmony with the Oda family, which was a strategy to promote peace.

For Asai Nagamasa's use of offense instead of defense, Asakura Yoshikage admired it, she said.

"His Highness Asai is determined to forge ahead, and I must cooperate.

How about this, Jing Jing, you will lead your troops to follow His Highness Asai to Mino Country, and you must let the Oda thief know how powerful my Asakura family is! "

Asai Nagamasa was shocked when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness Asakura, are you not going to lead the troops to the south in person? Just send a team to participate in the battle of Meinong?"

Asakura Yoshiki's face froze.

"Your Highness Asai, do you mean to ask me to take all the troops to Mino? Is this too risky?"

Oda Nobunaga brought [-] people to the former country to find fault, and Asakura Yoshikage made more than [-] people by selling pots and iron, and it was only then that Asai's family turned back.

The more than [-] people are not her direct descendants, but a combination of various forces in the Chao Cang family.

Asakura Yoshikage himself controls the territory around Ichijo Valley Castle in the central part of the Fukui Plain. The Asakura branches in the north and Makabe in the south and other old guardian forces are not very obedient.

Oda Nobunaga entered the Echizen Kingdom, and everyone joined hands to deal with the Oda army. Naturally, they have money to contribute, and they have the strength to contribute.

Now that the Oda army was retreating, Asakura Yoshikage wanted to order these forces to follow him across the Kita Omi River and directly into Mino Country, but it was difficult.

Who is willing to waste their own strength and go to fight in the unbeatable Meinong country?

Although the Echizen country is close to the Mino country, the two sides are divided by the Ryobai Mountains, making it difficult to march on the mountain roads, and it is even more difficult to operate the logistics line.

If the army attacked, they could only follow Nagamasa Asai to Sekigahara and detour through Kita Omi to Nishi Mino, who would do that?
Asakura Yoshikage has selfish intentions, and wants to keep his own people in Kanezaki Castle, and prepares to encroach on Asakura Keiji's Tsuruga County.

She had already given Asai Nagamasa enough face by letting her sister Asakura Kagegami, who controlled the Ono people, send troops to the Mino country.

Onozhong and Tsuruga are called the two strong soldiers in Asakura's family. Asakura Yoshikage arranged Asakura Jingjing to be Ono County Secretary, just to control the elite Onozhong.

Asai Nagamasa never expected that Asakura Yoshikage would underestimate the enemy so much.

Oda Nobunaga is such a terrifying character, the best chance for the Asai Asakura family is to attack with all their strength now and push the front line to Oda's territory.

But Asakura Yoshikage didn't realize the importance of this matter at all. She was still thinking about the balance of various forces in the family, and she wanted to find a chance to swallow Asakura Keiki's Tsuruga County.

Asai Nagamasa understood Asakura Yoshikage's thoughts as soon as he heard it, his eyes went dark, and he suddenly felt a little hopeless, the pig teammate is cheating!
And Asakura Jingjing, who heard Asakura Yoshikage's order, also froze, hesitated before bowing and accepting the order.

Although she is Asakura Yoshikage's younger sister, as the leader of the Ono group, she must first consider the interests of her samurai group.

At that time, in order to help Shiba Yoshigin to share the pressure, Asakura Sodi forcibly passed the military council and sent troops to attack Kaga Ichikomune, causing Asakura Yoshikage, the family governor, to be disgraced.

In order to win over the Ono people who are as famous as the Tsuruga people, Asakura Sodi gave all the land of the Kaga country that was captured by the Daishojigawa battle to the Ono people.

Since then, Onozhong and Kaga Ichikozong have been at odds in the Daishoji River area. Although the two sides have not fought on a large scale, the small-scale wars have never stopped.

This time the Oda family invaded, for the benefit of the entire Asakura family, the Ohno people also came to participate in the battle in Tsuruga County, leaving a relatively empty Daishoji River on the northern line.

Now that the Battle of Kanazaki is over, the Ohno people just want to return to the northern line and keep their victory in Daishoji River, but Asakura Yoshikage ordered Asakura Kagegami to go to Mino Country to join the war. What should we do?

The Oda family is coming in menacingly, Asai Nagamasa's strategic arrangements are in place, and Asakura Kageko knows that he has no reason to object to his sister Asakura Yoshikage's arrangement.

But it’s okay to let Ohno’s people fight in Mino country for a while. If they leave their hometown for a long time, or if there is a problem with Daisho Temple, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken, and Asakura Jingjing’s prestige will be damaged.

Once the Ono people withdraw from the Mino country, Asai Nagamasa's strategic intentions in Mino will be impossible to realize. The Asai family only mobilizes hundreds of thousands of stones, and they simply do not have the strength to confront the Oda family.

Asai Nagamasa looked at Asakura Yoshikage, not knowing how to persuade this stupid ally.

Asakura Yoshikage thought that he had fulfilled the requirements of his allies, and began to think about how to pass the Battle of Kanezaki to further improve his control over the various forces of the Asakura family.

Asakura Keiki's eyes flickered in the crowd below. She tried to delay the time, and when Shiba Yoshihiro came back, she would definitely support her, so that Asakura Yoshikage would not dare to touch her Tsuruga County.

Asakura Jingjing was thinking about how to persuade the people in the field to go south to fight, and what opportunity should be found to withdraw and return to Echizen Kingdom at the right time, so that he would not be caught by his sister, the governor of the family, and questioned.

The two groups of samurai in the room seem to be of one mind. In fact, Asai Asakura's coalition forces have not sent troops yet, and the hearts of the people are already scattered, and the future is cast in a shadow.

---

Just after the summer harvest, Asai Nagamasa was ready to survive, and personally led troops to raid the Mino country, but he was helplessly blinded by the stupidity of his allies.

And far away in Kanto, through the Great Review and the Standing Council, Yiyin shared the responsibility of the entire Kanto Chamber, and further established his image and influence as a sage of the Wu family.

Just as the status of the United Front members was further improved, and Yoshihiro was carefully observing the fermentation of public opinion in various places, Maeda Toshiie unexpectedly came to the Imperial Palace to meet him, which shocked him a lot.

The imperial hall, the inner room of Shibo Yiyin.

Even when he saw Maeda Toshiie who was brought in by the Gamo clan, Yoshihiro still couldn't believe it. After the two concubines saluted, he laughed.

"Lijia, why are you here?"

Maeda Toshiie looked at Yoshiyin, still a little dazed.She and Yiyin have known each other for five years, just because they have been apart more often, and every time they see this lord and sweetheart, they always feel a little like a lifetime away.

Yiyin has changed too much. On the one hand, it is the effect of the system's continuous increase in charm value, coupled with the aura of never committing crimes in life, and the special effect of forever sixteen years old, which makes his temperament even more dusty.

On the other hand, with the continuous improvement of status, the aura of the one and only superior is gradually submerged in him.The humble social animal feeling of the previous life gradually disappeared, and a confident ruler was eluted.

The physique from the previous life transformed the childish fifteen-year-old boy into the heroic physique of the twenty-year-old, and his height rose from 160 cm to 180 cm, which is no longer the majestic appearance that men in this life can have.

In this world where daughters are respected, he is like a god who descended to earth, and was expelled from male status by more and more Ji warriors, and he was not treated as a man.

Five years passed in a blink of an eye, but Yoshihiro Shiba had completely changed, like a different person.Toshiie Maeda has mixed feelings. Is the boy he adores unattainable, or is there still a chance?

Seeing Maeda Toshiie distracted, Gamo Ujigo coughed lightly and woke her up.Maeda Toshiie smiled awkwardly, bowed and apologized.

"I'm very sorry, I haven't seen Jun Shang's true face for a long time, I'm so rude."

Gamo Shigo felt that something was wrong, this didn't sound like an apology, but a tease instead.But seeing that the lord didn't feel anything, her heart skipped a beat again.

Lord's reaction. .Could it be Maeda Toshiie too. .Gamo Shixiang lowered his head slightly, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Neither Shiba Yoshiyin nor Maeda Toshiie noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit ambiguous, perhaps it should be taken for granted in the hearts of both parties.

Shiba Yoshihiro left Owari for several years, Maeda Toshiie never left him, gritted his teeth and dealt with Oda Nobunaga, and made Owari Shiba bigger and stronger. Only she knew the hardships best.

From the moment she sticks to the Owari Shiba collar and insists on dedicating the territory as Shiba's source, Yoshigin understands her thoughts.

The two had had skin-to-skin contact, so they were different from outsiders, so it was normal for them to be a little ambiguous.

Yoshigin shook his hand to express his indifference, Maeda Toshiie said after recovering.

"I'm actually going to Nanao Port in Noto Country this time to do business. I remembered that Your Majesty is sitting in the Imperial Palace at this time, Nanao Port and Naoe Tsukai Road are convenient and fast, so I came here to see and say hello."

With outsiders present, Maeda Toshiie couldn't say the second half of the sentence to relieve the pain of lovesickness, but Yoshiyin understood it and nodded silently.

"You took the mountain road to Vietnam, China and Nengdeng? It was very hard."

Maeda Toshiie shook his head and smiled.

"It's not hard work.

Most of Owari Shiba's territory was resealed by His Highness Oda to the northern part of Gujo County. Although the stone height remains the same, compared with Owari's old place, the environment is much more closed.

Fortunately, with the benevolence of the king, Zhang Sibo Ling also started to receive the annuity from the Shibazhong Fund at the end of this year, and allowed me to participate in the Hokuriku Road trade route. The situation in the territory is not bad.

When I came to Nanao Port this time, I was negotiating with the local port town about Owari Shiba Ling's participation in the Hokuriku Road trade route. "

Yi Yin sighed.

"Lijia, it's really not easy for you."

Yoshigin himself understood Maeda Toshiie's embarrassment best. When she linked Oda Nobunaga with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and sent the news of Shangluo to Kanto, she was doomed to be unlucky.

Oda Nobunaga had been skeptical about Maeda Toshiie, so he saw her true nature clearly.

That person has a surly and violent personality, so naturally he would not let Maeda Toshiie go, so he left her in the county to fend for herself.

Owari Shiba is named Owari. In fact, only the [-] shixi village territory of Shiba's ancestral land has not been moved. The other sites have long been relocated to the northern part of Mino County by Oda Nobunaga.

Gujo-gun is located in the northern mountainous area of ​​Mino country, and the good land of the Nobi Plain cannot be allocated. Owari Shiba was relocated to the northern part of Gujo-gun, and it is even more of a ravine.

Oda Nobunaga did this to guard against Maeda Toshiie's disagreement, and when he confirmed that Maeda Toshiie's heart was towards Shiba, he directly closed the door and threw Owari Shiba into the mountains to eat dirt.

Owari Shiba has a special status, which is related to the political cooperation between the Shiba and Oda families. Oda Nobunaga is unwilling to tear up his face with Shiba Yoshiyin, but he will not make it easier for Maeda Toshiie.

Without the support of the Oda family, life in the mountains would be difficult.Oda Nobunaga used this to punish Maeda Toshiie for his betrayal, and Shiba Yoshihiro couldn't catch it.

Maeda Toshiie is not afraid of hard times, but she is afraid that the samurai under her command will be shaken if they can't stand it.

The Owari Shiba collar is the capital for her to compete for the marriage. Once there is a riot, Oda Nobunaga will be given a reason to reduce the punishment. What qualifications does she have to fight for Maeda Toshiie?
Moreover, the leader of Owari Shiba has been alone for a long time, and the local Hime Takeshi is not close to the Shiba family, but has close contacts with the Oda family.

Even if Maeda Toshiie maintains the stability of the territory, if Shiba Oda conflicts in the future, how can she guarantee the absolute loyalty of the samurai under her command to the Shiba family?
In order to solve this problem, Maeda Toshiie is also trying to find a way out.

On the one hand, she wrote to the lord, hoping to include Owari Shiba into the welfare scope of the Shibachu Fund as soon as possible, and buy the middle and lower-level Ji samurai who were led by Owari Shiba.

On the other hand, she begged Owari Shiba to participate in the Hokuriku trade route, and use business profits to buy the high-level samurai in Owari Shiba.
