different warring states of japan

Chapter 1507 The biggest pursuit in life
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when Shiba Yoshiyin was arranging logistics, diplomacy, and dispatching troops, Oda Nobunaga was indeed a little impatient.

Owari Mino, which owns the Nobi Plains of the Owari and Mino countries, and suppressed the Omi country, which is the gateway to and from Japan, Oda Nobunaga quickly recovered from Shiba Yoshigin's sudden turn of events.

Oda Nobunaga, who is far more convenient than Shiba Yoshiyin to mobilize and gather strength, has already begun to move around and want to make some moves.

At this time, troubles began to appear in various parts of the Oda family, first of all, civil strife broke out in the Echizen country.

Oda Nobunaga, who had just conquered the Echizen Kingdom, treated the former Asakura retainers who came over with great kindness, and temporarily focused on stability and tolerance.

Not only did she not touch Asakura Keiji of Tsuruga County in the Siba camp, but she also gave Asakura Kagegyou, including Asakura Kagegyou, the members of Asakura's sect, old ministers, and powerful local warriors the ability to calm down and calm people's hearts.

However, with the retreat of the Oda family's main army, the Asakura former ministers who surrendered to the Oda family began to compete with each other for land rights in Echizen.

First, the ex-Hajitsugu and Tomita Choshige were at odds, and both sides wrote letters to Oda Nobunaga to slander their opponents.Then there was mobilization and war again, and the former Poggie was defeated and killed.

Choshige Tomita was not satisfied with taking down the former Poji Tsugumi, so he tricked Yuzhu Jinggu to come to Jucheng for a banquet, took the opportunity to kill him, and annexed his territory.

At this time, Choshige Tomita had taken over most of the territory of the original Asakura clan, and the power was very strong.And her perfidious killing of her colleagues also aroused the fear of the former officials of Asakura.

All the concubines in Echizen joined forces to besiege, but Choshige Tomita was victorious. Seeing that she was about to take down Echizen Ichigoku, she was bombarded with iron cannons at close range by her retainers who hated her, and she was killed on the spot.

Regarding the civil strife in Echizen, Oda Nobunaga was on the sidelines at the beginning, happy to see Asakura's old ministers killing each other, clearing up hidden dangers and eliminating dissidents for the Oda family to truly control Echizen in the future.

But Oda Nobunaga never expected that the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind.

The Echizen samurai who were exhausted from civil strife were caught off guard by a surprise attack by the Hokuriku Road. The Ono troops who controlled the Daishoji River were defeated, and the leader Asakura Kagegami died in battle.

Qili Laizhou and Xiama Lai Zhao, the two generals of the Yixiang clan in Kaga Etsuchu, joined forces to set off Yixiang Yikui and swept the entire Echizen Kingdom in an instant.

At this time in Echizen, the important old ministers of Asakura either died in internal strife, or were overthrown by the sweeping Yi Yiyi.

Choshige Tomita, Keigu Uozumi, Yoshitsugu Maeha, and Kagegō Asakura are all dead. The leaderless Echizen samurai family can't stop Ichikui at all, so they can only ask the Oda family for help.

Oda Nobunaga was furious. She watched the Echizen infighting with joy, waiting for a good opportunity to completely annex and digest the Echizen Kingdom.

Hokuriku Road has always been aggressive. They bypassed Asakura Keiki, who belonged to the Shiba camp, and went directly to the Kita Omi territory, causing the Kita Omi Samurai, who had recently belonged to the Oda family, to panic.

Oda Nobunaga absolutely cannot tolerate the arrogance of Hokuriku Road.

She managed to kill Asai Asakura's family and take over their territories. If Ichikui is allowed to go on like this, how would the local samurai have any awe and submission to the Oda family?
Just when Oda Nobunaga decided to go to the Echizen Kingdom and beat Hokuriku Road back, another accident happened in Kita Ise.

Nagashima, who had been lying dormant for several months, attacked again. They besieged and captured Ogie Castle on the border between Owari-Ise and the two countries, intending to cut off the connection between Owari-Ise and the two countries, causing great panic.

The constant turmoil in Nagashima directly threatens the Nobi Plains and Atsuta Shrine trade circles. Those are the bags of rice and money that Oda Nobunaga used to conquer the world, and they must never be lost.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga sent Shibata Katsuya to the north to attack the Hokuriku Road.Send Sakuma Nobumori to the south to attack Changdao Ichigoku.Grab it with both hands, harden it with both hands, and suppress it with all your strength.

So far, the Oda family is too busy to take care of themselves, and Oda Nobunaga no longer has the heart to interfere with Shibo Yoshiyin's scheduling, and has always bought a lot of time for Shiba Yoshiyin.

Kyoto, Shiba Mansion.

The autumn air was refreshing, Yoshihiro looked at Rena who was playing in the garden, no, it should be called Takeda Yoshinobu now, smiled and said nothing.

Beside him, Gamo Clan knelt down and served him, looking at the child with him.

Yi Yin asked softly.

"Have you delivered all the things you were asked to send to Chunri Mountain City?"

Kamo clan bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything has been delivered. But..."

Pu Sheng's township hesitated to speak, but Yiyin glanced back at her.

"If you have something to say, why hesitate."

Gamo's Township sighed.

"You are so unabashed, and you directly send things to Uesugi Miyuki, it is easy to arouse speculation from the outside world. After all... people's words are scary."

Yiyin smiled indifferently.

"Even though Uesugi Ken trusted his adopted daughter's fig leaf to cover his ears, but in fact, no one knew that Uesugi Miyuki was my daughter.

No matter what Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin did, the two children are innocent, they are my blood, I have to think about them.

If I am indifferent and don't think about Shenxue's situation at all, and rumors spread that I favor one another and treat others more favorably, I don't want to wrong that child Miyuki. "

Looking at the melancholy Yiyin, Gamo's hometown also had nothing to say, and finally turned into a sigh.

"My lord, you are too soft-hearted.

Your Highness Uesugi dared to presumptuously use the word Kenshin to name himself, this is a serious provocation to you.Instead of blaming her, you want to show your closeness by giving gifts to her heir.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is indulging His Royal Highness Uesugi's reckless behavior and damaging your prestige. "

Yiyin looked helplessly at Gamo's Township. Ever since Sakai Gang and his party once again deceived Gamo's Township, the little housekeeper has become more and more resentful.

She said that Takeda Uesugi disrespected the emperor, but she couldn't hide the envy in her eyes, and she treated Takeda Yoshinobu very well, even Yoshiyin felt that she spoiled the child too much.

Listening to her rambling, Yiyin was a little tired and couldn't help yawning.

Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking. This is the warmest period after autumn. Although the temperature difference between day and night is large, it is still very comfortable and easy to sleep during the day.

As for Yiyin himself, he has been very idle recently.

Akechi Mitsuhide was a bastard, but an extremely useful asshole.With this black-bellied woman around, Oda Nobunaga was already dizzy from the trouble, and had no time to trouble Yoshihiro.

Nagashima has always been in trouble again, and Hokuriku Road has even hit the border of Kita Omi, severely sweeping Oda Nobunaga's face.

I don't know how Akechi Mitsuhide operates, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has recently become active again.

The Ashikaga shogun first considered giving Qili Lai Shuxiama and Lai Zhao, the two general generals of the same clan, the post of managing the shogunate of the Echizen Kingdom, and slapped Oda Nobunaga hard on his attitude.

After that, she came forward to ask the Takashima-gun samurai to submit to the shogunate, so that Takashima-gun headed by Masahiro Isano could have an excuse to perfunctory Oda Nobunaga, and turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Shiba family going north to make excuses.

Anyway, Ashikaga Yoshiaki did all the bad things, and Yoshigin became a spectator beside him.Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he jumped, but there was nothing she could do about Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Kyoto.

The current Kyoto is protected by the Shiba family's senior general, Maeda Yili.

Oda Nobunaga could not threaten Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Ashikaga Yoshiaki opened his bow left and right, slapped Oda Nobunaga furiously, and vented his resentment for being bullied by Oda Nobunaga before.

In politics, there is Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the self-defeating Ashikaga general Sapo, and in military affairs, there are two big ones who always attack each other from the north to the south.

Even if she is as strong as Oda Nobunaga, she is still in a state of desperation at this time, and she has no time to trouble Yoshihiro, because she is very busy now.

The most interesting thing is that these things have nothing to do with Yi Yin from the beginning to the end.

Even Mitsuhide Akechi himself picked it off cleanly, without any meat on it.Yiyin really admires this ability to secretly make trouble.

Oda Nobunaga was so chaotic that he didn't have time to take care of Yoshihiro, so Yoshihiro could naturally prepare calmly and make detailed arrangements for the big battle after the snow melts in spring next year.

Food, grass and armaments were raised and distributed by Yono Takada and Asohide Okuma in the near Kanto respectively. In the military, the Shiba leaders of the three regions were mobilized separately, and the Kanto Servant organized righteous soldiers to send troops.

When everything was on the right track, Yiyin suddenly realized that he didn't need to intervene too much, and was quite leisurely.

Centralization has the benefits of centralization, and decentralization has the benefits of decentralization.

Even though Oda Nobunaga is in power, she also concentrates all her faults and resentments on herself. The pros and cons are all her own, and her heart is tired.

Yiyin, on the other hand, has completely divided powers. Don't look at him as a mascot, he is aggrieved in everything he does, he has to coordinate with others, talk to others, and he has to be cautious about his own prestige.

But if Shiba's house is in big trouble, and there is a danger of overturning, everyone connected with Yoshihiro will suddenly find that they are also in trouble.

The Shiba retainers of the three Siba collars found that if the Shiba family collapsed, their current benefits would be cleared, and all happy lives would be gone forever.

In recent days, the shogunate leaders under the protection of Yoshigin in the Siba system, Kofukuji Temple, local power factions, and even General Ashikaga and Mount Hiei trembled, fearing that Oda Nobunaga would become powerful and oppressive.

The Guan Yashu samurai, who benefited from the Kanto servant system, also found that the Shiba family was unlucky, and they seemed to be unable to escape the turmoil.After finally having a few days of stability, who wants to go back and continue the chaos?

Even the samurai family along the Hokuriku Road trade route, where they eat and drink cards, found that the good days of sitting in line with fruits and vegetables seemed to be coming to an end, and their old capital was used to invest in the Hokuriku Road trade route, flustered.

Even fringe forces such as the Noto Hatakeyama family and the Etsuchu Jinbo family have become active, participating in the Kwantung Allied Forces and supporting the army to cross the border.

It was only then that Yiyin realized that if he was defeated, it would be Ai Oda Nobunaga's grass at most, and he would not be too bad in other aspects.As for wormwood, didn't it already have been moxa in Owari.

But the retainer group under his command, the recent allies of the Lieping clan, the Kayou Party along the Hokuriku Road, and the beneficiaries of the Kanto servant system, their losses seem to be greater and more difficult to accept.

Because Yiyin was allocated too generously, whether it was power or benefits, he only kept a small part for himself, and distributed most of it.

Therefore, once the Shiba Samurai group is defeated, the one who suffers the most is definitely not Yoshigin himself, because he doesn't have much in the first place.

Everyone watched the excitement for a long time, and when they came back to their senses, they suddenly found that the clown was actually me.

At this moment, everyone is eager to help Yiyin to support the field, not because of his good character and high benevolence, but because Yiyin lost, and everyone lost more than Yiyin.

On the contrary, Yiyin became more relaxed and didn't need to worry about it too much.Perhaps, this is called fully mobilizing everyone's subjective initiative.

Under the warm autumn sun, Yiyin lazily watched Yixin having fun at his knees, and listened to the complaints of a boudoir in Pusheng's hometown.

He suddenly laughed and said to Gamo's Township.

"Shixiang, why don't you give birth to one too?"

Gamo Shigo was stunned for a moment, looked at his lord, his tone became tense, and his words were squeaky.

"Your Majesty... that... I have no plans to get married yet."

She looked frightened and bewildered, as if she thought that Yiyin was going to marry someone else's son for her.

Yiyin looked amused, leaned into her ear, and said softly.

"I'm not asking you to find a husband, but I just want to ask you if you want to have a baby with me too, so as not to be jealous of others every day."

Gamo Shigo's eyes widened in disbelief, his ears were itchy from the heat from Yiyin, he subconsciously tilted his head, and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing her like this, Yi Yin couldn't help laughing out loud, and even winked teasingly at Pu Sheng's Township, with a playful look on his face.

Gamo's face was flushed with embarrassment, but his voice was as light as a mosquito buzzing.

"Your Majesty will tease people!"

Yiyin looked at her with gentle eyes, and sighed in a low voice.

"My clan has finally grown up and knows how to be shy.

It's been five years since your mother sent you to me as a petite surname, right? "

Gamo Shixiang nodded slightly.

"Hey, it's been five years."

Yiyin looked at Gamo's Township, the little Douding back then had grown up, although it hadn't grown into a mature peach with protruding front and back, but it was no longer the shriveled four-season bean.

The young body exudes the flavor of youth, and the slender figure is already big as it should be, and as small as it should be.

Yiyin picked up the tip of Gamo's chin with his fingers, and looked at her four times. Gamo's eyes were inspected by Yiyin with a frivolous attitude, and he forgot to avoid his gaze for a moment.

After so many years, the little Lolita has grown into a big girl, and the gratitude she used to have gradually turned into an undercurrent called admiration, flowing slowly in her heart.

Yi Yin's fingers brushed Gamo Shigo's chin, skipping over her pretty face with baby fat, feeling her smooth and tender skin.

At the moment when the atmosphere was getting more and more ambiguous, Takeda Yoshinobu, who was tired from playing in the distance, suddenly ran over, shouting while running.

"My lord father! My lord father!"

Pusheng Shixiang quickly lowered his head in fright, Yiyin picked up a strand of black hair that had fallen from her, and hung it behind her ear.

Takeda Yoshinobu had jumped into Yoshiyin's arms at this time, and said coquettishly.

"Father, I want to eat Tang fruit."

"Oh, didn't you just eat it this morning? Eating too many sweet things will cause tooth decay."

"Wuuu, my lord father, I want to eat."

Takeda Yoshinobu tugged on Yoshigin's sleeve, looking so pitiful, Gamo Chougo looked on and couldn't help but said.

"I'll go to the dining room to see if there's anything left."

Takeda Yoshinobu laughed and jumped up.

"I'm going too, I'm going too."

Yi Yin glared at Kamo Shigo.

"I was spoiled by you, oh, forget it, after eating, take Yoshinobu to Kosaka Masanobu for an afternoon nap."

"Hi."

Yoshiyin looked at Gamo's village, holding Takeda Yoshinobu, holding hands, walking farther and farther, with a warm smile on his lips.

After rejuvenating the Shiba family and winning his own survival without hindrance, being able to protect the happiness of those around him is Yoshiyin's greatest pursuit in this life.
