different warring states of japan

Yi Yin frowned.

"His Highness Oda is so supportive, I am afraid that the war will continue and all living beings will suffer."

Asakura Kageki sighed.

"Even if His Royal Highness Oda ends up in a terrible situation, before she is defeated, the losses of Asai Asakura's coalition forces will not be small."

Yi Yin nodded.

Oda Nobunaga is like a hunter surrounded by wolves, and the shotgun in her hand still has one or two bullets, which is enough to kill.

The unlucky Asai Asakura Shuangwolves had already hit the gun. Even if the Oda family was eaten to death by a pack of wolves in the future, the two unlucky ones who rushed up first would most likely be buried with them.

No wonder Kasuke Magara came to Shiba Yoshiyin instead of Oda Nobunaga.Because she is not optimistic about Oda Nobunaga, who has a fierce personality, and even less optimistic about Asakura Yoshikage, who is mediocre and incompetent.

The safest way is to have a stable meal with the rich and kind Shibo Yoshihiro.

Tsuruga Port is making money every day, and Shiba Yiyin is generous and reminiscing about the old days.When the situation is chaotic and you can't see clearly, it's at least not the worst choice to follow such a boss, so you can feel at ease at this pier.

Asakura Keiji said softly.

"Kasuke Manigara not only brought greetings from the Managa family, but also the son of Horie who was waiting with him.

The Horie family shined brilliantly in the first battle at Daishoji River, and they were the most powerful outside the Asakura family, but because of this, they were feared by Asakura Yoshike, and life has been difficult for the past few years.

This time, Jingli, the governor of Horie's family, also came here in the name of a guard. "

Yiyin raised his eyebrows.

"Has someone from the Horie family come? Let's call in and meet, the Shiba family will not reject the Horie family governor."

A hundred years ago, the Kai family and the Asakura family were overthrown, and the Shiba family lost the wealthy neighboring country of Echizen. At that time, the ancestors of the Horie family were the ones who bleed and fought for the Shiba family.

After Horie's ancestor died in battle, the Shibazong family really lost the Echizen Kingdom.The Horie family even became extinct because of this, and the family name was inherited by offshoots of the Shu family.

No matter what the situation of the Horie family is now, Yoshigin will lead the Shibazong family for the friendship between the monarch and his subjects a hundred years ago.After all, he is the awe-inspiring patron saint of the samurai family, with kindness and righteousness as the most important thing.

Whether Kasuke Magara will see him or not is still in doubt.But since he was accompanied by the descendants of Horie, Yi Yin had to meet him.

Asakura Jingji bowed and exited the room, and soon brought back two Ji warriors, and the three saluted Yi Bank together.

"The foreign minister Magara Kasuke, the foreign minister Horie Keitoshi, have seen Tsuda-den, Your Highness Wan An Duofu."

Yiyin looked at one of them with a smile and said.

"Toshiro Horie is really a descendant, he looks like a heroic warrior Hime."

Horie Jingli kowtowed and said.

"The foreign ministers are terrified and ashamed."

She was secretly delighted, saying that Shiba Yoshigin was the incarnation of Takeshi Giri, and she came to test this time because she also had extra expectations.

In fact, after Horie Toshima died, he did not leave any descendants, and the family name was inherited by Shuzhi.But the Wu family puts more emphasis on family name than blood relationship, so there is nothing wrong with calling Yiyin like this.

Now it seems that Horie Jingli made the right bet.Horie Toshima died fighting for the Shibazong family back then, and Shiba Yoshigin really recognized this loyalty, and he looked at the Horie family with admiration.

Magara Kasuke at the side subconsciously glanced at the beaming Horie Keitoshi, this kind of ancestral favor cannot be envied.

Asakura Keiji introduced the two, and Shiba Yoshihiro spoke softly and cared, but no one pushed the topic to reality.

As Asakura Kageki said before, today's request to see him is just because the people of the former South Vietnamese people admire Shiba Yoshiyin, and there is no request, and it does not involve politics.

But Yiyin knew in his heart that seeing him this time was tantamount to being involved in a relationship. If he shrinks back and makes up his mind when things happen in the future, he will inevitably be despised by the martial arts all over the world and his prestige will be damaged.

And there are two sides to the matter. If Yiyin can really protect the people of the former South Vietnamese people, it will be equivalent to adding another layer of insurance to the safety of Dunhe Port.

The terrain of Echizen Kingdom is unique, with plains in the northeast, mountains in the southwest, and the lonely Tsuruga County in the south.

The two countries of Echizen and Wakasa were originally one, bounded by the mountain ridges of Yamanaka Pass, Kizhimen Pass, and Tochizhi Pass, the north is the Echizen area, and the south is the Lingnan area, also known as the Wakasa area.

Therefore, from a geographical point of view, the relationship between Tsuruga County and Wakasa Kingdom is closer than that of Echizen Kingdom.The Chinese people in the former area of ​​Nanetsu stood on the mountain line bordering the two areas of Wakasa Echizen.

The Fukui Plain in the northeast is occupied by a family of the Asakura family and the descendants of the genealogy. The people of the former country of Nanyue are more like watchdogs, standing on the mountain pass along the line of Kinomena Pass.

Today, Asakura Yoshikage has given Kanezaki Castle to the people of the former South Vietnamese people to take care of them.

The entire mountain defense line of the Echizen area and the Wakasa area was in the hands of the Nanetsu former people, and they could even overlook the coastline of Tsuruga Bay.

From this point of view, the former Nanyue people are really qualified to let Yiyin win over them, and they are also very sincere in introducing two powerful warriors, Magara and Horie, to come to have an audience.

Yiyin holds the Hokuriku Road trade route that is making a lot of money every day, and the inexhaustible gold mine of Tsuruga Port stands beside the people of the former South Vietnamese people.

Looking at the massive amount of wealth flowing in front of him every day, can the people of the former South Vietnamese people not be tempted?As long as Yoshihiro is willing to share some of their benefits, they will definitely help Asakura Keiji to defend Tsuruga Port.

Yiyin's meeting with them did not involve any promises, but both parties knew in their hearts that the pier was indeed a success.

Chao Cang Jingji was also relieved, at least with the support of the people of Nanyue Qianguo, her pressure would be much less.

The host and guest had a great time at the meeting, but because Sibo Yi Yinzhou was exhausted, the meeting left early so that he could have a good rest.

When the outsiders like Asakura Jingji left, Yiyin did not rest immediately, but looked at the documents brought by the third husband of Baidi, and listened to her introduction of the latest recent situation.

---

Kyoto, Shiba Mansion, tea room.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Matsunaga Hide with a smile on his face, but he was in a bad mood, and even had the urge to drive her away.

Yoshihiro Shiba came back anyway, ignoring Mitsuhide Akechi's advice, and returned to Jinji early, which disrupted Mitsuhide Akechi's plan.

Akechi Mitsuhide of course understood Shiba Yoshigin's thoughts, and had to sigh secretly in his heart, this soft-hearted enemy is really loved and hated.

Matsunagahide looked at Akechi Mitsuhide's signature elegant smile, but seemed to sense a wave of fluctuation in it, so he asked.

"Wise Ji, I heard that Jin Duodian is coming back?"

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"Matsunagahime's news is very well-informed. Jin Daden landed in Tsuruga Port the day before yesterday. He is probably rushing to Aifa Pass at this moment, and is about to enter the northern Omi border."

Song Yongxiu sighed.

"That's good, that's good, Jin Duodian is back, and there is a backbone inside and outside the capital."

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes flashed at Matsunaga Hide's seemingly inadvertent words.

A while ago, the two also met in the tea room. At that time, Matsunaga Hide begged Akechi Mitsuhide to write a letter to Shiba Yoshigin, asking him to come back to mediate disputes for several forces, but Akechi Mitsuhide fudged it.

Unexpectedly, Shiba Yoshigin returned on his own initiative, which made Akechi Mitsuhide a little embarrassed, and Matsunaga Hide seemed to have caught some inspiration.

It seems that Tsudaden is really at ease with Akechi Mitsuhide.This discovery surprised Matsunaga Hideo very much. Akechi Mitsuhide, who seems to be omnipotent, would be deflated.

Thinking about it, who can really rest assured of a poisonous snake like her?I'm afraid it's not just Shiba Yoshigin, but even Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who both use and guard against her.

The undercurrent in Matsunaga Hideo's heart was surging, but Akechi Mitsuhide had no time to take care of it at this time. She was worrying about Shiba Yoshigin's unexpected return, which really disrupted her layout.

With the entry of the Ichiko sect and the Tiantai sect, Oda Nobunaga is facing an unprecedented predicament.

Asai Asakura's allied forces retreated to Mount Hiei, just to drag the Tendai sect into trouble.But Oda Nobunaga was surrounded by enemies and had no time to dawdle with the Tiantai sect.

If there is no middleman recognized by both parties to mediate, Oda Nobunaga is likely to jump over the wall and attack Mount Hiei in a hurry.

Although the mountain mage of Mount Hiei is well-known, the current situation is not that of the emperor's court. Although the Ni soldiers are fanatical and not afraid of death, the samurai are better at fighting and killing people.

Oda Nobunaga has a majestic two million stone daimyo, and tens of thousands of female soldiers under her command. If she can't kill even a few thousand nuns and tens of thousands of believers, what confidence does she have to spread her arms and conquer the world.

What Akechi Mitsuhide was looking forward to was not Oda Nobunaga's setback at Mount Hiei.She was waiting for Oda Nobunaga to kill Mount Hiei and burn Enryakuji Temple.

Back then, Kofuku Temple in the Yamato Kingdom was accused by Miyoshi's family Bingfeng, Shiba Yoshiyin coerced and lured Kofuku Temple Changjue to take the initiative to set Miyoshi Changqing as the enemy of Buddhism, which made Miyoshi Changqing burnt out.

Miyoshi Changqing's Buddhist enemy was only pointed out by Master Changjue's arrogance. Later, Ashikaga Yoshiki helped through Tiantai sect and reluctantly recognized it.

In the name of such an uncredible enemy of Buddhism, even Sanhao Changqing I Yingjie would cause a fire in the backyard and it would be difficult to deal with it.

Oda Nobunaga has turned his back on Ichikozong, and Honganji Temple seems to have no way out, so it can only fight to the end with the Oda family.

If there is another tragedy in Mt. Hiei, the Tendai Sect is the head of Buddhism in the world, and Master Jueshu points out Oda Nobunaga as the enemy of Buddha, then the Oda family will be in big trouble.

The Buddhist enemy determined by the masters of the Tiantai Sect and the Yixiang Sect is much stronger than the Buddhist enemy of Miyoshi Changqing. It is enough for Buddhist believers all over the world to regard Oda Nobunaga as a mortal enemy and swear to die unyielding.

Akechi Mitsuhide saw that his plan was about to succeed, but at this critical moment, Shiba Yoshigin came back.

She couldn't help sighing, and Song Yongxiu smiled on the opposite side.

"Wise Ji Ji seems to have something on her mind? Jin Duodian's return is near, and there is hope for peace in the near future. Aren't you happy?"

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't get angry when Matsunaga Hide made a sarcasm, but just changed the subject with a smile and said.

"Hime Matsunaga is really good.

Araki Murashige and Wada Yuomasa fought on the banks of the Ibaraki River. Wada Yuomasa was killed on the spot, but your confidant's serious troubles were removed.

Miyoshi's soldiers pointed directly at the two countries of Izumi and Hanoi, and Mibuchi Tengying was in a state of panic all day long, and he didn't have the heart to trouble you at the moment.

Great, indeed great. "

Matsunaga Hide forced a smile, she came this time with nothing to worry about, and her attitude towards Akechi Mitsuhide was not as humble and flattering as before.

Akechi Mitsuhide was mocking her for being respectful and cowardly. It's very unkind to employ people to look forward and not to use people to look back.

Matsunaga Hideo woke up immediately, Akechi Mitsuhide was obviously in a bad mood, so be careful not to offend this poisonous man with a sweet belly and a sword, it won't do him any good.

She laughed and said.

"Fortunately, it's beyond my ability, and I can't be praised by Ji Zhiji."

Akechi Mitsuhide was soft on her submissiveness, but he refused to let her go, and said again.

"How can there be so much luck in the world? It's all about human effort. I heard that after Wada Yuimsa died, his daughter Wada Yuicaga was very dissatisfied with Takatomo.

If I remember correctly, this person was once assigned to you by His Highness Miyoshi Changqing, a powerful warrior from Tosettsu.

That's right, Wada Weizheng sent troops this time, and there are many people from Dongsetjin under his command. These people have very close contacts with you.

Miyoshi's family does not attack Setjin, and they have a tacit understanding with Araki Village that they will not invade each other.Araki Murashige could move his army eastward and kill the last person guarded by Settsu San, Wada Yoomasa.

The Miyoshi family used troops to the two countries of Izumi and Hanoi, and fought with Araki Village in the north and south of the Yodo River.This tacit understanding should be achieved by someone threading needles through it, right?

Sanyuan Tengying remembers hating you, Matsunaga Hime, she really caused a big trouble for herself. "

Song Yongxiu smiled without saying a word, his vigilance increased greatly.Akechi Mitsuhide's secret tricks towards her turned out to be very insightful, obviously sent someone to watch her.

Thinking of Akechi Mitsuhide's command of a group of Shiba Clan ninjas, who were the elites of the old Iga congregation, Matsunaga Hide's heart also tightened.

What Akechi Mitsuhide said was right, this time Araki Murashige was able to kill Wada Yuomasa, Matsunaga Hideo contributed a lot.

As for Miyoshi's family, Song Yongxiu still has some connections, so he can naturally help the two sides connect, and let Miyoshi's family pinch Sanyuan Tengying's soft persimmon.

But it is not good for Oda Nobunaga to know about these things that are not on the table, otherwise it will be quite detrimental to Matsunaga Hideo.

After all, Wada Yoomasa and Mibuchi Fujihide have taken refuge in Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobunaga needs them to block the Miyoshi family's soldiers so that he can deal with Asai Asakura's allied forces first.

Because Matsunaga Hideo was behind the scenes and Wada Yoomasa died in battle, Mibuchi Fujihide was at a loss.Oda Nobunaga's back is completely empty, and he can only rely on Araki Murashige, an outsider, to support the overall situation of Settsu.

If Oda Nobunaga knew the inside story, Matsunaga Hide would definitely be plucked.

Akechi Mitsuhide's tone was so indifferent that he understood the cause and effect, while Matsunaga Hideo was terrified, he could only bow his head and shut his mouth obediently, so as not to cause extra problems and add new troubles.

Akechi Mitsuhide is not in the mood to beat Matsunaga Hide at this moment, it is this person who is scolding himself, so I will give her a few words.

Picking up the tea soup and taking a sip, Akechi Mitsuhide was about to bring tea to the guests.

"I won't leave Matsunaga Ji to sit down today, and I will go to Erjo Castle later, and ask the general to come forward and give Master Jueshu and His Highness Oda a step forward.

Mount Hiei is on the side of Kyoto. If there is a war, Kyoto will inevitably bring disaster to Chiyu. I still hope that all parties can take care of the overall situation and prevent Kyoto from suffering from military disasters. "

Matsunaga nodded and said.

"Since Zhizhiji has something to do, I will take my leave first."

Akechi Mitsuhide is not sympathetic to the world, pity the sentient beings in Kyoto.She had to change course because Shiba Yoshigin came back, and the way of blazing across the shore couldn't work.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew that as soon as Shiba Yoshigin came back, the dilemma at Mt. Hiei would inevitably be reconciled.This man is too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted, and takes all the problems on his own.

Now that he understands the lord's thoughts, as a diplomat of Shiba, Mitsuhide Akechi must also cooperate to quell the crisis in Mt. Hiei.

That's why she invited Ashikaga Yoshiaki out to help Shiba Yoshihiro set up the stage first, so that the master can sing a good show.

Now that the beautiful scenery of Mount Hiei is no longer visible, at least it is not a waste of my hard work to take this opportunity to establish a glorious image of Shiba Yoshigin.
