different warring states of japan

Akechi Mitsuhide rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very tired.

Outsiders see that she is good at dancing with long sleeves, and that she lifts weights lightly, but in fact, which of the warriors she has come into contact with is kind?Every sentence is pondered over and over again, thinking about the past and the future, which consumes a lot of energy.

Even Hosokawa Fujitaka, who served the saint together, has his own ideas, and is not an npc that Akechi Mitsuhide can call at will.

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"Before I came, before Settsu was captured, His Highness Oda was asking me if I could unblock Tanba to protect the Hatano family and let Hatano Hideji submit to the Oda family.

Hey, she didn't say it so blatantly, at least she brought the Shiba family with her, asking whether the Hatano family would be willing to surrender to Shiba Oda. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head and said.

"Haven't got Long, but already looking at Shu, His Highness Zhitian is really impatient, isn't she afraid of supporting herself to death?"

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"When the saint returns to Kanto, he must integrate the Kanto samurai family and return it to the Kanto shrine. Once this is accomplished, half of the world will belong to the Shiba family. Of course His Highness Oda is anxious.

She also wanted to be the first to conquer the world, forcing the sage to make peace with her, and the Shiba Oda family to join forces and rule together, and let us, the candidates for the descendants of the gods, stand aside. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a smile on his face.

"She dares to think, to rule the world side by side with a saint, who does she think she is?"

Akechi Mitsuhide let out a breath.

"She is Oda Nobunaga, she thinks she is the only woman in the world who can conquer a saint.

The Echizen Oda Army had already attacked the country of Kaga. Shibata Katsuie took advantage of the spring plowing season to launch an offensive against the season, and Qili Laizhou fled to Gobo in the Kanazawa Plain in embarrassment, unable to defend.

The Oda Army were not good men and women. Kaga Kingdom was taken half of the land, and all the believers who dared to resist were slaughtered.

No matter how loyal the faith is, it is useless in front of the butcher's knife. When the body is destroyed, how can the soul attach? "

Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed.

"Kaga has always been doomed."

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

“Right now, I don’t care about Kaga Ichikui’s fate, but I am curious about whether His Highness Oda will stop after conquering Kaga.

Yixiangzong of Yuezhong fought with the saint back then, was beaten all over the floor, and surrendered quite thoroughly.There is also the Noto Hatakeyama family, and Hatakeyama Yoshizuna was single-handedly supported by a sage to return to the Noto country to govern.

At that time, the saint and His Highness Uesugi went out together and won the hearts of all the players. They reorganized the distribution of benefits on the Hokuriku Road trade route, and this has led to the stability of the Hokuriku Road trade route over the years.

In the past, everyone sat in a row, shared fruits, and lived a good life, but now the Oda family killed them and broke this balance.

After the Oda family occupied Kaga, the border was pushed to the two countries of Etsuchu and Noto. What would the Etsuchu and Noto Hatakeyama families think?
The Shiba Oda family had the Fushimi Castle political system to coordinate their interests, but the Hokuriku families signed a peace agreement with the sage, His Highness Uesugi.

If His Highness Oda insists on going his own way, the saint may consider it carefully, but His Highness Uesugi may not be willing to show weakness.

In the past two years, His Royal Highness Uesugi has been living in Kasuga Mountain City to give birth and raise children. Many people seem to have forgotten the violent nature of this Highness.

His Highness Uesugi has a strong temper, and I hope His Highness Oda will not get carried away and cause trouble because of the success of the Settsu Kaga Raiders. "

Akechi Mitsuhide said he was worried, but his tone was gloating, Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help shaking his head.

Hosokawa Fujitaka has figured out what Akechi Mitsuhide thinks. Oda Nobunaga can develop westward, but Kanto is the private land of the Shiba family. It is best for the Oda family not to ask for trouble in the past.

There are three main routes in the Kinki Kanto, the Nakasendo Road is rugged and difficult, and the Takeda family is in the way, so the Oda family will not ask for trouble.

For the inexplicable illegitimate eldest daughter of Takeda Yoshinobu, Shiba Yoshigin pulled up a team and wrestled Oda Nobunaga fiercely.

The two families fought bloody corpses, didn't get any benefit, and they won't easily turn against each other again, if they don't want to, they really can't.

After a falling out, Shiba Yiyin lost 400 million shi of money and food, and the political sequelae of Kanto were everywhere.Oda Nobunaga was beaten to a pulp, and his ability to maintain a strong dictatorship was almost destroyed.

Oda Nobunaga will not take the initiative to trouble the hedgehog of the Takeda family again, he can't eat meat, and he has to prevent being pricked again, why bother.

As for the two routes of Hokuriku and Tokaido.

Tokaido's Tokugawa Ieyasu is very good at both ends. She has always looked like an obedient little sister in front of Oda Nobunaga. Only about Shiba Yoshiyin, Tokugawa Ieyasu has always been lying down and pretending to be dead.

Last time Shiba Oda started fighting, Tokugawa Ieyasu cried and shouted to his brothers and sisters not to fight. I was so embarrassed!Then he huddled in a corner and didn't interfere at all, leaving Oda Nobunaga speechless for a while.

Now, Tokugawa Ieyasu is licking his face again and begging Yoshihiro Shiba to reopen the Tokaido trade route. The Tokaido is filled with a peaceful atmosphere of begging for money. Even the Takeda family has voluntarily surrendered the Suruga Kingdom to show their sincerity.

The three families of Tokugawa, Takeda, and Hojo refused to use their brains in Tokaido, and Oda Nobunaga couldn't find a reason to intervene, so he had to give up.

Now, the only breakthrough for the Oda family to penetrate the Kanto is the Hokuriku Road.

It is almost an inevitable choice for Oda Nobunaga to win Kaga Ichikui and enter Noto, Vietnam and China. However, Akechi Mitsuhide pretends to be worried that the Oda and Uesugi families will fight.

Hosokawa Fujitaka can guarantee that even if the Oda and Uesugi families don't want to fight, Akechi Mitsuhide will instigate the two families to fight, or the Oda family will be beaten violently.

Only when Oda Nobunaga suffers a great loss, will she restrain herself a bit, turn her attention back to the west, and expand westward along the path Mitsuhide Akechi hopes to have.

Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head, Akechi Mitsuhide had a bad stomach, she really didn't want to know too much.

As long as they maintain their relationship with the saint and give birth to the saint's descendants, the status of the Izumi-Hosokawa family, a famous family in Western Kinki, will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Hosokawa Fujitaka really has no interest in causing too much trouble. She is quite content now and doesn't want to make any more fuss. Akechi Mitsuhide doesn't like anything, as long as she is dragged down.

She changed the subject.

"You just said that the Hatano family of Tanba country, do you still want to help His Highness Oda persuade Hatano Hideji to submit to the Oda family?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"The Hatano family is independent in Tamba, and the mountains are high and the city is thick, so it is difficult to conquer, so why should they kowtow to the Oda family?

Even if the Oda family pulls in the Shiba family, the Hatano family will at most surrender on the surface, and will not give up their independence.

But the Hatano family is not going to pass this test. Tamba country is the easternmost border country of the Sanyin Road. It is not only the starting point of the Western Kingdom, but also the barrier of Kyoto. His Highness Oda will never let the Hatano family go easily.

I'm going to clear it up first, and get the Hatano family to agree that the Oda Shiba family can use Tanba country to enter and leave the Western country.

As for whether to surrender or not, I will talk about it slowly later. In the worst case, I will use my old father as a guarantee and ask Hatano Hideji to go to Azuchi Castle to discuss with His Highness Oda in person. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded, but did not notice the gloomy look in Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes.

Akechi Mitsuhide must have a reasonable reason to kill Oda Nobunaga justifiably. The cheap old man she found has been eating and drinking under the eyes of Oda Nobunaga in Azuchi City.

Eat well, drink well, and always go on the road. The revenge of killing his father is enough to make the Kinki samurai believe in Akechi Mitsuhide's betrayal, so they are willing to help Akechi Mitsuhide.

Of course, the time to do it is not yet ripe, and the plan to send my father to die will have to wait.

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"In the land of Kanto, His Highness Oda doesn't have to worry about it, His Highness Uesugi will help me persuade the stubborn His Royal Highness Oda to turn around.

When the Oda family takes Settsu Ishiyama and unblocks the Tanba Kingdom, His Highness Oda's next goal will be the West Kingdom.

The Maori family is already the overlord of the Western Kingdom, and Nizi's old party has a deep feud with the Maori family. If the Oda family wants to conquer the West, Nizi's old party will definitely ask to get a hand in it, and our Shiba family just wants to get a share of the pie.

I just don’t know who His Royal Highness Oda will send to attack the Western Kingdom. Can I get closer to that person? "

Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced suspiciously at Mitsuhide Akechi. She knew that Mitsuhide Akechi had recently secretly incited a party sentiment in Nizishan in the Kinki Sibo area, which made Katsuhisa Akechi very angry and helpless.

But would Mitsuhide Akechi really be so kind to help Nizi's family return to the Western Kingdom?
You must know that Nizi Katsuhisa and Yamanaka Yukimori were deeply trusted by the saint, and served as the acting magistrate of Kinki Shiba and the deacon of the Kanto service office respectively.

The one party in Mount Nizi is distributed in Kinki Kanto, and it is already the largest force in the Shibo family. If they win the territory of the Western Kingdom, it will be the only strong position.

Mitsuhide Akechi and Katsuhisa Niko did not get along happily in Kinki Shiba District, and there was a lot of friction. They just wanted to show respect to each other on stage. Would she be so kind to Katsuhisa Niko?

Being courteous for nothing, cheating or stealing, Hosokawa Fujitaka always feels that Nizi Katsuhisa is going to be unlucky.

In fact, Hosokawa Fujitaka was overthinking it. Akechi Mitsuhide not only wished for the misfortune of Nizi Katsuhisa, but also longed for Nizi Katsuhisa's death.

Oda Nobunaga is surly and mean, but samurai Muqiang must have sufficient reasons to disobey the strong. If the Oda family hates Oda Nobunaga inside and outside, he must work harder to get rid of him quickly.

There are many mountains and few lands in the Western Kingdom, eight parts of the country are Shanyang, and five parts are divided into Sanyin. The total stone height of the thirteen countries is not as high as the two stone heights of Mino Owari.

In the Oda family, whoever was moved by Oda Nobunaga to gnaw on the hard bone of Xiguo would feel dissatisfied.

This is the internal worry of Oda Nobunaga.

Secondly, Nizi Shengjiu was highly respected, and he gathered up the old party of Nizi who was wandering in the western country, and presided over the internal affairs of Kinkispor.

In recent years, most of the benevolent government benefits issued by Shiba Yoshigin in Kinki were implemented by Nizi Katsuhisa. The samurai families in Kinki Shiba were very grateful to this conscientious and responsible acting official.

If Nizi Shengjiu died in the Western Kingdom, and was killed by the Oda family in the Western Kingdom, no matter whether it was a party in Nizishan or other samurai families in Kinkispo, they would be extremely resentful towards the Oda family.

This constitutes Oda Nobunaga's foreign invasion.

Once internal and external troubles form a joint force, even a strong Oda Nobunaga will be at a loss, and it will be difficult to take care of everything. At that time, it is the best time for Akechi Mitsuhide to act.

Hosokawa Fujitaka saw Akechi Mitsuhide sitting there elegantly in thought, with a deeper and deeper smile on his face, suddenly a feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart, and he asked.

"What are Mitsuhide thinking?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"I'm thinking... After going to Sakai Port, how to persuade Takada Yono to cooperate with us to block the Mori family's sea support to Ishiyama Honganji.

Shishan Honganji Temple is strong, the best way to attack is to completely isolate Shishan, let Master Xianru fall into despair and surrender voluntarily.

After Dohashi Mamoru died, the Nishi Kinki samurai already understood my determination, the Shiba family and the Mori family were incompatible, and no one dared to secretly help Ishiyama again.

The Ichiko clan has been continuously suppressed by His Royal Highness Oda in recent years. The Ichigo clan forces in Mikawa, Ise, and Omi are almost uprooted, especially the Nagashima Ichikui.

Now that Kaga has always been destroyed, Master Xianru no longer has the strength and confidence to continue to deal with the Oda family.

As long as the Maori family's foreign aid at sea is cut off, it seems that the Venerable Master can't hold on for too long, so he will choose to compromise and submit. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka's heart relaxed, and he smiled.

"What's the problem? I'll just walk with you to Sakai Port.

I occupy the Sakai Port Customs Office and have to deal with Takada Yono from time to time. We both benefit from our cooperation and suffer from our resentment. She always gives me some bad treatment.

Furthermore, everything you do is based on the cooperation mechanism of the Fushimi Castle system, and you refuse the order of General Ashikaga who was held hostage by the Maori family.

The authorization of the Fushimi Castle system comes from the sage. If Takada Yono is dissatisfied, he can write a letter to appeal to the sage, but he cannot refuse your reasonable request in person.

So don't worry, even if she is unwilling, as long as you give her face and say hello, she can only follow us and won't stumbling around in the dark and causing trouble for herself. "

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and bowed.

"In this case, I will trouble Fujitaka."

Hosokawa Fujitaka bowed back.

"Serving the saint is the duty of us shogunate samurai."
