different warring states of japan

Chapter 181 Timing
The blocking factors of the tributary hills are equal to the Imagawa family and the Oda family.

If Oda Nobunaga's sudden attack idea was to grope and gamble in the dark, then Maeda Toshiie's strategy was to add a lighthouse to guide her.

Maeda Toshiie kowtowed to the ground and said.

"Once you start to act, the Shiba family will make a decisive assault and vow to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto."

Jinchuan's army is too large, even if it wins a few small victories, it will not be able to shake the army.But once Imagawa Yoshimoto is killed, the situation will be completely different.

Imagawa Yoshimoto has been in power for many years and has a high prestige, able to suppress all parties in the Imagawa family.

If she dies, the army held together by her will surely split.There must be a headache for all samurai in Imagawa, the transfer of power.

Every time the samurai family governor passed away, they had to go through a reshuffle, and it took several twists and turns to re-achieve the balance of power.

In this way, each family will definitely scramble to return home, intending to take the lead, and then Owari will overcome the difficulties.

Oda Nobunaga took another deep look at Maeda Toshiie and said.

"Inuchiyo, come back, the position of Mu Yizhong's pen is still yours. I still say that, when I win the world, you know how to do a million stones."

Maeda Toshiie sits down on the ground.

"Sorry, Lijia let you down. I'm really sorry!"

Oda Nobunaga raised his head and sighed, and said.

"Do as you want, I will have a good time in Qingzhou City for a few days. There are too many things these days, and my brain hurts, so take a good rest for a few days.

Just let people see how I am at the end of my life, and let me see what some people will do when I am at the end. "

As he spoke, he laughed, with a grim look on his face.

Mikawa country, Owari country in the west, Enjiang country in the east, Mikawa highland in the north connects the two countries of Mino and Shinano, with a stone height of [-] shi.

The three rivers connect the four countries, and the strategy is extremely important.

Although Mikawa Heights is not suitable for large army movements, it reduces the peeping of Mino and Shinano.But the Owari Yuanjiang of East and West is still a great threat.

The plateau in the northern part of Sanhe is not suitable for survival, and the southern part is not only a vast plain, but also has Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay, which are rich in seafood.

south.The Yahagi River Basin on the west is connected from the Noo Plain of Owari to the Okazaki Plain of Mikawa, and the Toyokawa River Basin on the east forms the Toyohashi Plain.

The land in the two plains is fertile and there are many villages, gradually forming a pattern of three rivers from east to west.

The Mikawa Kingdom is an important town on the Tokaido, and the Ashikaga shogunate sent relatives, the Kira family, to guard the country.

After the decline of the Kira family, Higashi Mikawa was acquired by the Imagawa family, and Nishi Mikawa was unified by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu and lived in Okazaki Castle.

Oda Nobunaga's mother, Nobhide, once confronted Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, and the two sides fought under Owari and Nishi Mikawa's armies, with neither victory nor defeat.

Later, Matsudaira Qingyasu passed away.His daughter Hirotada Matsudaira was no match for Oda Nobuhide, so he had to ask the Imagawa family for help.

The Imagawa family holds the Suruga, two countries in Yuanjiang, and three rivers and half a country. Only Oda Nobuhide of Shimowari's four counties is insufficient in strength and retreats with hatred.

At that time, Matsudaira Motoyasu was still a child, first taken hostage by the Oda family, and then negotiated and given to the Imagawa family, his childhood was bleak.

Hirota Matsudaira surrendered to the Imagawa family and continued to rule Xisanhe. It was not until his death that Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was brought up by the Imagawa family, came back to inherit the position of family governor and ruled in Xisanhe.

This time Imagawa Yoshimoto led the army to advance eastward, and Matsudaira Motoyasu had mobilized the Nishi Mikawa army long ago, and waited respectfully at Okazaki Castle.

Imagawa Yoshimoto marched on horseback, and he was approaching Okazaki Castle at this time.

Although she has always shown others that she is good at internal affairs, she is actually a Ji warrior who is skilled in bow and horse, and it is easy to march and fight.

"Ahead is Okazaki Castle?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Okazaki Castle is ten miles ahead, and Lord Matsudaira is already waiting in line outside."

Imakawa Yoshimoto nodded, stopped talking, waved his hand, and signaled to go.

Matsudaira Yuankang has been waiting for a long time, from the morning until the sun is three poles, watching the sun move westward.

Warrior Ji under his command has long been impatient.Warrior Mihe Ji is famous for his loyalty and bravery, but his temper is indeed a bit bad.

A girl was already sitting on the ground regardless of her posture, fanning the wind with her hands.

"His Highness Imakawa is really slow, I would have come here in the afternoon if I had known."

This man behaved rudely, Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't speak, just glanced at him, and the old minister on the side had already started swearing.

"Ping Ba Niang, you bastard, get up quickly! My lord, I am not strict in discipline, please punish me."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

The person who spoke was called Honda Doji, a veteran of three generations of the Matsudaira family.And the pretty girl sitting on the ground is the younger generation of her family, Honda Tadakatsu who was in Yuanfu just now.

Honda is a retainer of the Matsudaira family tree, who has been loyal for generations.Honda Tadakatsu's mother, Zhong Gao, also died fighting for his family.

These warriors of Sanheji were loyal and brave, but they were a bit straightforward, Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head and said forget it.

Although she is the daughter of Matsudaira Hirochu, she has been a hostage outside for many years, and she came back soon.Some disrespectful things can only be regarded as not seeing.

Besides, at this moment, how could she have the heart to teach her subordinates, the beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old had a sad expression on her face.

This time Imakawa Shangluo said that he was going to Beijing to help the shogunate against the Miyoshi family, but unfortunately no one would believe it.

No one is a fool.

Taking advantage of the fact that the shogunate had no time to visit east, the Imagawa family insisted on going to Luo.It was coming towards Owari country, but Xisanhe might not be able to stay out of it.

Xi Sanhe has surrendered to the Imagawa family for many years, and when Imakawa Yoshimoto ordered Matsudaira Motoyasu to mobilize this time, she always had an ominous premonition, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing the team from a distance, Matsudaira Motoyasu stopped thinking about it, and brought a few family members of the genealogy family to meet him.

"Your Highness is well."

"Isn't this Yuankang? I haven't seen you for a while, and I've grown taller. Father still talked about you a few days ago."

Imakawa Yoshimoto spoke gently on the horse, and Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded gratefully.

"Let the ancestor worry, Yuan Kang will go to Suruga to meet his old man when he has time."

Matsudaira Motoyasu stayed at the Imagawa family for many years. In order to win over Xisanhe's heart, Imagawa Yoshimoto gave her quasi-family treatment.

Imakawa Yoshimoto looked up at the city not far away and asked.

"This is Okazaki Castle?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Not bad, it's said that the march is exhausting, have you prepared a place for me?"

Matsudaira Yuankang was taken aback for a moment, this army is traveling, don't you live in the army?Do you want to live. .Sweat dripped from his back.

"I'm going back to clean up the Okazaki castle castle tower, please move in, Your Highness."

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded, embarrassed to say.

"So, is it suitable? Then where do you live?"

"It's suitable, it's very suitable. Your Highness doesn't know, I have already mobilized the army and live in the Sanhe barracks."

Imakawa Yoshimoto nodded and said.

"Then I'm welcome."

Matsudaira Motoyasu respectfully accompanied him and said a few more words before leaving to do business.

Looking at her receding back, Imagawa Yoshimoto's smile gradually faded.

"Kawate Tsunori, you bring your troops to Okazaki Castle to replace the city defense. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Motonobu Okabe, led the troops of the headquarters to stare at the Mikawa army for me. If there is any change, call the Suruga people and wipe it out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Imagawa family has supported the Xisanhe Matsudaira family for many years, and finally the time has come.

This time, more than [-] troops came from the Imagawa family, if Matsudaira Yuanyasu didn't know each other. .

There are hundreds of thousands of stones in the entire Xisanhe.I don't know if there are [-] people from the Wu family, men, women, old and young.

One knife per person is enough to kill four times.
