different warring states of japan

Chapter 1856 The situation took a turn for the worse
In midsummer, Yiyin was staying in Duowen Mountain City to escape the summer heat.The Nara Basin is surrounded by mountains, and Dawen Mountain City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The heat is not strong and the summer is not hot, so life is quite comfortable.

This spring and summer are full of good things.

The Kanto side is still peaceful, but the backbone of the four eastern countries has been broken, their ambitions have been dampened, and they no longer have the courage to rise up and fight.

Faced with the aggressiveness of the three powerful vassals, the people of the East all lay down on the wormwood and didn't even bother to shout to the saint for help, which made Yiyin secretly relieved.

As long as the four eastern countries did not resist, whether the three powerful vassals would eat them up or take them by force, Yiyin would not bother to care. After all, these territories belonged to the ancestral property of the descendants of Shiba.

On the Kansai side, the Shiba and Oda families also cooperate sincerely.

The strategy for the Western Kingdom has already begun. Katsuhisa Nizi is killing all the enemies in the Izumo Kingdom. He is about to take over the Tomita Castle in Tsukiyama and overthrow the rule of the Mori family on the Sanin front line.

In terms of Shikoku, Yoshigan shamelessly sent Akechi Mitsuhide to communicate with Oda Nobunaga and forced Miyoshi Yoshitsugi into the conquest of Shikoku Island.

Oda Nobunaga was a little unhappy, but reluctantly accepted it. He just sent Akechi Mitsuhide to run around to vent his anger. Yoshihiro also went to Azuchi Castle Wormwood a few more times, but the results were always good.

The Shiba family lived alone in Kanto, and in Kansai they opened up the Western Kingdom and Shikoku. Their power was growing day by day, and everything was developing in a good direction.

Yiyin was also able to take a break and enjoy life in Duowenshan City.

When I have time, I go to Azuchi Castle to accompany Oda Nobunaga. On weekdays, I receive the guests who come to visit Maeda Toshiie, Maeda Benefit, Hosokawa Fujitaka and others at Tamonyama Castle to get close to the samurai family and set off firecrackers.

When you live a comfortable life, time flies by.

When Yiyin came back to his senses, the sun was already blazing. On a scorching day, cicadas were chirping on the art trees in the courtyard, and deer were frightened in the pond. It was very pleasant.

He was sitting in the room. There was winter ice brought from the icehouse under the house. A hint of coolness seeped out through the tatami. Compared with the courtyard not far away that was exposed to the scorching sun, it looked particularly cool and comfortable.

Yoshihiro sat in front of the case and looked at the documents, and Tachibana Kaoru knelt under the case, doing his weekly homework attentively.

Yiyin, who was enjoying it, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He felt something was wrong and muttered to himself.

"It was fine just now, but it's soft now."

Tachibana Kano also noticed something was wrong, stood up and looked at the saint with some doubts in his eyes.

Yiyin smiled awkwardly, recalling that yesterday he had a long conversation with the Kamo family all night long, but it was the same on weekdays, so it wouldn't be still affected now.

But for some reason, Yiyin felt more and more irritable, always feeling that something was wrong. He reluctantly shook his head, losing all interest for the moment, and spoke softly to Li Huazou.

"Let's talk about it tonight."

Lihua bowed respectfully and sat aside obediently.

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from outside the porch. Yiyin squinted his eyes and looked up, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

Kamojigo appeared outside the door, bowed solemnly, and said.

"Sage, something big happened."

Yiyin's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and he said calmly.

"speak."

Pu Shengshixiang frowned and said.

"His Majesty Oda captured Hatano Hideharu who went to Azuchi Castle for negotiations and executed him immediately."

Yiyin was stunned.

"What! Oda Nobunaga killed Hatano Hideharu! Is she crazy?"

Hatano Hideharu was willing to leave his home base and go to Azuchi Castle to discuss surrender matters. It was Akechi Mitsuhide who came forward to negotiate and the Fushimi Castle system was the guarantee.

In order to persuade Hatano Hideji, Akechi Mitsuhide even took his old father as a hostage, which made Hatano Hideji let down his guard.

But Oda Nobunaga actually arrested and killed Hatano Hideharu who went to see him. What was this guy thinking?

The credibility of the Fushimi Castle system will suffer a devastating blow because of her move.

But the matter was not over yet, Kamaojigo continued.

"His Royal Highness Oda announced to the outside world that Hatano Hideharu colluded with Bessho Choharu and intended to launch a rebellion, so he beheaded him in public as a warning to others."

Yiyin couldn't help cursing.

"Nonsense! Even if Hatano Hideharu is really preparing to rebel, Oda Nobunaga cannot kill the samurai daimyo who comes to discuss!
When the two armies were fighting, she knew that Fuza was coming. She casually killed Hatano Hideharu. Who would dare to believe in the credibility of the Fushimi Castle system in the future! "

Kamojigo said with a wry smile.

"It's too late.

I heard that the Hatano family in Tanba country had killed the hostages and killed Akechi Mitsuhide's old father as a sign of unyielding.

Lord Akechi Mitsuhide is far away in Tosa Country at the moment and is discussing with the Chosogabe family.

When this incident reached Shikoku Island, not to mention how grieved Akechi Mitsuhide was, the Chosogabe family could no longer believe in the credibility of the Fushimi Castle system. "

Yiyin sighed.

"I know this guy Oda Nobunaga... She is becoming more and more willful, thinking that because she is powerful, she can do whatever she wants.

Who does she think she is when she kills a prince at will without any conclusive evidence?She is going to piss me off! "

While Yoshiyin complained, he looked at the Hamo clan, and when he saw her serious expression, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"What? Is there any other bad news? Tell it all together."

Kamojigo took a deep breath and said.

“Betsubu is responsible for the rebellion, and Lord Hashiba Hideyoshi is busy encircling and suppressing the Higashi-Harima rebels.

Now that the governor of the Hatano family has been killed, the Tanba country samurai family will inevitably fight back. The scale of this rebellion is too large to be quelled for a while. "

Yiyin lowered his face and asked.

"So? What happened again?"

Gamo Shixiang shook his head.

"The Nizi army captured the city and territory in Izumo Country, and local samurai families joined in. Everything was going smoothly.

Knowing that they were outmatched, the Maori army in Izumo Kingdom all retreated to the Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. The defenders Motoaki Motoki and Amano Takanashi could not escape. The Tsukiyama Tomita Castle was so strong that it was difficult for the Nishi army to capture it for a while.

The governor of the Maori family, Terumoto Mori, took advantage of Hashiba Hideyoshi's return to the army to quell the chaos. She took care of the front line flawlessly and personally appointed the general. She led the main force of the Maori family to rush to the aid of Izumo country and caught the Nizi army by surprise.

The local samurai families in Izumo Country were all useless. Seeing that the war was not going well, they dispersed one after another. The Nizi army was defeated by the full blow of the Maori family and retreated to Zhenshan Castle.

The Maori family took advantage of the gap where Yuchai's army could not support them and attacked the Nizi army with all their strength. .The war situation in Izumo Country is temporarily irreversible. "

Yiyin became nervous.

"How is Nizi Shengjiu?
Victory or defeat is a common thing in the military. Let her not have any scruples and withdraw immediately!If you go from the sea, then come back from the sea. When you return, you can regain your strength and then kill them! "

Pu Sheng's hometown looked ugly.

"The Nizi Army went to sea from the port of Tango Kingdom, and the fleet of Tango Kingdom could have been used to pick up the Nizi Army back.

But. .I have just received an urgent report from His Highness Hosokawa Fujitaka. The Isshiki family is not satisfied with the terms of surrender and has raised a rebellion flag again. Tango is in civil strife and is temporarily unable to take care of the front line. "

Yiyin's blood rushed to his head and he couldn't help but curse. "How can Akechi Mitsuhide take care of...?"

Before the words could be cursed, Yiyin suddenly stopped and looked even more embarrassed.

Because it was he who ordered Akechi Mitsuhide to talk to Oda Nobunaga, and made Oda Nobunaga accept the matter of Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's involvement in the Shikoku strategy.

Oda Nobunaga took the opportunity to embarrass Akechi Mitsuhide, and asked Akechi Mitsuhide to persuade Hatano Hideharu to step down. He also sent Akechi Mitsuhide to Shikoku Island to persuade the Nagasune family to cooperate.

Akechi Mitsuhide was so busy running around that even though he was dead, his father didn't even know that he was far away on Shikoku Island. How could Yoshigan have the nerve to accuse her of neglecting her duties in managing the territory and delaying the frontline war?

Yiyin sighed helplessly and asked.

"There is a sudden civil strife in Tango Kingdom. What is the situation now?"

Gamo's Township replied.

"The Hosokawa Army that was conquering Tango Kingdom was on its way to withdraw. Upon hearing the news of the rebellion, His Highness Hosokawa Fujitaka returned to the army to quell the rebellion and ensured that the chaos would be eliminated.

However, the Nizi Army was in a difficult situation in Izumo Country and was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so they couldn't wait any longer. "

Yiyin gritted his teeth.

"Where is Misaku? Let the Oda family cooperate and withdraw the Nizi army from Misaku!"

Gamo Shixiang shook his head.

"Terumoto Mouri has blocked the road. Nizi's family has too much influence in San'in. The Maori family will not let Niziji go easily and wants to finish his work in one battle."

Yiyin narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"Don't let go? I want to see who dares to embarrass Niziji! Immediately send people to the West Country and Izumo Country to tell Mouri Terumoto!

If Katsuhisa Nizi comes back alive, there will be a discussion between the Shiba family and the Mori family.If Nizi Katsukuzai stays in Izumo Country, I will personally conquer the Western Kingdom. I want the Maori family to look good! "

Nizi Katsuhisa has been with Yiyin for nine years. He has been very dedicated to his career, helping him consolidate the Kinki Shiba territory, silently taking the blame for him, and doing countless hard work.

Yoshigan personally promised Nizi Katsuhisa that he would help her revive Nizi's family so that he would not watch her die in the Izumo Kingdom.

In today's world, no one dares to turn a deaf ear to the saint's words, which really pissed off Yiyin, and the Maori family couldn't withstand the wrath of God.

Yiyin believes that Terumoto Mori will know how to choose and will not cause trouble for himself.

She would leave a living Nizi Shengjiu to negotiate terms with the Shiba family, instead of killing Nizi Shengjiu and completely angering herself as a saint.

Yiyin always felt that something was wrong. The good situation took a turn for the worse, one after another, which made people breathless.

First, Oda Nobunaga suddenly went insane and killed people, then Hashiba Hideyoshi, Hosokawa Fujitaka encountered civil strife and put down the rebellion, and had no time to look west, and then the Mori family came out with all their strength to besiege Nizi Katsuhisa.

All of this seems to be connected with one another, isn't it? .Yiyin shook his head and rejected the idea.

Akechi Mitsuhide could not influence Oda Nobunaga's thoughts. Even if she was willing to let her old father die, she could not successfully encourage Oda Nobunaga to commit murder.

What's more, the rebellion of the Bessho family, the reversal of the Isshiki family, and the decision-making of the Mori family are all beyond the control of Akechi Mitsuhide.

Yoshihiro silently savored the ins and outs of all this. It was hard to believe that Mitsuhide Akechi was behind this situation. He must have been overthinking it, right?
Is it because I am having a bad time?Or is it the trouble caused by Akechi Mitsuhide's plan without omitting any omissions?
Just when Yiyin hesitated, there were hurried footsteps on the porch again, thumping, thumping, thumping, as if stepping on Yiyin's heart, making him even more anxious.

In the blink of an eye, Naomasa Ii appeared outside the door and bowed.

Yi Yin sighed.

"What happened again? What happened again?"

Kamao clan also looked at Ii Naomasa with a puzzled look. The two separated for a moment. Is there a new situation at the Tongxin Secretariat?

Ii Naomasa said solemnly.

"Sage, something happened in Guandong."

Yi Yin narrowed his eyes.

"Go ahead."

"The news just came in, Yuya, the ghost head in blue clothes, accidentally fell off his horse and died."

Hearing just this one thing, Yoshigan almost couldn't turn around in his breath, and gave Ii Naomasa a fierce look.

"That's it?"

Although Yuya Kito was a good young warrior, his death from falling off his horse was an accident and not a big deal.

Furthermore, the self-clearance movement launched by the Blue Clothes has stirred up the Boso peninsula into a mess. Yoshihiro, who once praised the self-clearance movement, cannot say much, and he will inevitably vent his anger on others.

It is indeed a pity that Kito Yua died young, but it is not comparable to the crisis of Nishi Katsuhisa in the West. Ii Naomasa took this matter as an urgent report, and it was a bit unclear.

Obviously seeing Yoshiyuki's face look angry, Ii Naomasa insisted on continuing.

"Sage, among the news that came with me, there was also a secret report from Naoyoshi Hanzawa from Kanto. The death of Yuya Kito may not be simple.

Hansawa Naoyi once met with Yuya Kito and obtained the authorization letter from the blue-clad people, preparing to review the loan accounts of the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association.

Then Yuya Kito died suddenly, and Momo Mikami, the chief of the blue-clad people, came forward to deny the authorization letter, putting Hanzawa Naoyoshi's review into trouble.

Hanzawa Naoyi believes that there may be huge problems with the accounts of the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association. . "

Before Ii Naomasa could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the furious Yoshigan.

"That Naoyoshi Hanzawa! What on earth do you want to do!
The order I gave her was to go to Kanto to check on the clean government affairs. Why did she go to the Wu Family Giri Promotion Association to make a fuss!

And you, Naomasa Ii, why are you following the wind and rain? What nonsense are you following her!
The anti-corruption officials in Kanto are at the Enforcement Office, and in Echigo Province Naoyoshi, Naoyoshi Hanzawa dared to go privately to the land of Higashmusashi to find Yua Kito. Who gave her the power?
She made a small inquiry to the manager, but she actually wanted to go beyond the Wushu Association and review the accounts of the Wujia Yili Promotion Association. Who did she think she was?Are there any rules left? "

The situation in the Western Kingdom collapsed and Nizi Katsuhisa was in a critical situation. Yoshihiro was so anxious at the moment that he couldn't listen to Ii Naomasa's words at all.

The Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association is a self-contained system, and the loan accounts are supervised by the Wushu Association, which is a cause and effect for each other.

Don't think Yiyin is a fool, he will understand what happened as soon as he hears it.

Naomasa Ii took advantage of the opportunity of Naoyi Banzawa being ordered to go east, and secretly instructed Naoyoshi Banzawa to investigate something else.

In normal times, Yoshihiro would still have the intention to break up with Ii Naomasa and discuss the rights and wrongs.

But now?Yiyin really doesn’t have that leisurely atmosphere!

Ii Naomasa is the second-in-command of the Doshin Secretariat and is responsible for supervision. She has always wanted to bring Sakai Port and Kanto's systems that are outside the Doshin Secretariat into supervision.

Yiyin did not deny her idea.

Because the establishment of the Tongxin Secretariat itself represents the center of Yiyin to seize power from the localities, but there must be a standard for everything!
Hanzawa Naoyi crossed the line in Kanto, and the progress of the review was frustrated.

Naomasa Ii wanted to forcefully link the accidental death of Yuya Kito and the failure of Naoyoshi Hansawa, and give the Kanto side eye drops.

This is going too far!
Yoshigan has no time to pay attention to these small internal disputes now. He is anxious to withdraw Katsuhisa Nizi from the front line. Naomasa Ii comes to disrupt the situation at this time, but he has hit the point of a gun.

Ii Naomasa pursed his lower lip, still unconvinced, and wanted to say something more, but was pulled back by Kamaojigo.

Kamao clan shook his head slightly at her, Ii Naomasa gritted his teeth, lowered his head and stopped talking.
