different warring states of japan

When Ni Zi Sheng Jiuxiang Xiaoyu died, Yiyin who was far away in Kyoto was not yet known.

At this moment, Yoshigami was hosting a banquet for Oda Nobunaga in Fushimi Castle, and was repaying the price for Nizi Katsuhisa's safe return.

The Shiba family made peace with the Mori family alone, which was equivalent to giving up the strategy of the Western Kingdom and leaving the Oda family on the front line.

Although Oda Nobunaga has always liked to eat alone, this does not mean that she likes to be betrayed by her allies. The Asai family also betrayed Oda Nobunaga, and as a result, the heads of two generations of family governors became wine glasses.

If it hadn't been for Yoshigan's insistence that Oda Nobunaga bury his head with a gold cup and lay it to rest, Asai Nagamasa would never be at peace to this day.

The Western Kingdom Strategy was jointly promoted by the Shiba Oda family. Yoshihiro refused to do it, and even left Oda Nobunaga and negotiated with the Mori family alone. Oda Nobunaga's temperament was bound to be furious.

In order to bridge the differences between the two parties and prevent Oda Nobunaga from going crazy, Yoshihiro directly ordered Akechi Mitsuhide, who had returned from Shikoku Island, to stand by at Fushimi Castle.

Yoshigan himself went north from Tamonyama Castle, invited Oda Nobunaga to Fushimi Castle for a talk, and was mentally prepared to use his own body to calm Oda Nobunaga's anger.

No matter how Oda Nobunaga would torture him this time, he admitted that it was indeed his fault.

Yoshigan knew in his heart that Oda Nobunaga had been worried that the Oda family would not be able to enter the Kanto region, but Kansai had to be divided equally with the Shiba family.

After so pacifying the world, the strength of the Shiba and Oda families is likely to widen a huge gap, which is not conducive to Oda Nobunaga's political plan for unifying the world.

This time, the Shiba family failed in the attack on the Western Kingdom, and Yoshihiro even voluntarily abandoned the Western Kingdom for the sake of Nizi Katsuhisa's safe return.

For Oda Nobunaga, this matter has pros and cons.

The advantage is that the Oda family can swallow up the Western Kingdom alone without having to share the territory with the Shiba family, which greatly enhances the Oda family's territory and strength.

Although there are many mountainous areas in the West, the land is barren and the rocks are low, the Maori family controls Iwami Ginzan, Shimonoseki trade, many minerals in the Chinese mountains, and the coast of the Seto Inland Sea.

The Oda family obtained these resources, which was enough to close the power gap between the Shiba and Oda families, and to achieve a new balance of power with the Shiba family, which had already swallowed up the Kanto territory alone.

But there are advantages and disadvantages.

The withdrawal of the Shiba family also means that the Oda family cannot continue to use the righteousness of the Kyoto shogunate.

Facing Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who is controlled by the Maori family, the Oda family's Western conquest cannot hold on to the political high ground, and the Western samurai family may not be willing to buy it.

The Oda family could only use force to conquer, which would inevitably lead to half the effort and a high cost.

Since this brief description has good and bad points, let’s talk about it.

Yoshigan took the initiative to host a banquet for Oda Nobunaga. Judging from the status of both parties, this was a sign of bowing his head and gave Oda Nobunaga enough face.

Mitsuhide Akechi, the person in charge of the Fushimi Castle system, will be the person in charge of this banquet and the middleman to bridge the differences between the two families.

The two masters were sitting in separate rooms. Oda Nobunaga looked at Yoshigan, who was half a seat taller than him, and said with a smile.

"In the past few days, you have been avoiding me, but today you took the initiative to invite me here.

I never thought that a little girl, Shengjiu, could make you pay so much. It really makes me a little jealous.

For her sake, the Shiba family alone sent envoys to the Mori family to communicate and negotiate peace. Where would this put the Oda family?
The Fushimi Castle system seems to exist in name only. "

Faced with Oda Nobunaga's aggressiveness, Yoshigan sneered and counterattacked.

"Do you really care about the Fushimi Castle system? Don't you understand why I refused to see you a few days ago?

Hatano Hideharu is a samurai daimyo recognized by the shogunate as the guardian of Tamba and guarding hundreds of thousands of koku.

Your Majesty Oda is so domineering. You catch and kill whenever you ask. Did you ever think about the Fushimi Castle system at that time?
Akechi Mitsuhide's old father was still a hostage in the Hatano family, and he died innocently as a result. Even if you haven't considered Akechi Mitsuhide's feelings, you should consider the credibility of the Fushimi Castle system, right? "

The corners of Oda Nobunaga's lips curled up.

"well said!

You didn't want to come forward, but you asked Mitsuhide Akechi to come to me and insist on inserting Miyoshi Yoshitsugi into the Four Kingdoms Strategy, so I tolerated it.

I'll find something for Mitsuhide Akechi to do, help me take care of the Hatano family and the Chosogabe family.

The results of it? Hatano Hideharu intends to rebel, and the Chosogabe family is unwilling to even talk about it. Is this also my responsibility? "

Yiyin said angrily.

"Don't mess around with me!

It is not yet known whether Hatano Hideharu intends to rebel, but if you kill her like this, the Hatano family will rebel!
Akechi Mitsuhide took his old father as a hostage to negotiate, and finally asked Hatano Hideji to come down. It would be better for you to kill someone with a knife without any real evidence!
You are happy, but at what cost?

The Chosogabe family was there watching the fate of Hatano Hideharu. What did Akechi Mitsuhide do to win people's trust? How can we talk about Shikoku Island?
Now that you have completely brushed off all responsibility, you have become Akechi Mitsuhide. I'm sorry, right? "

Oda Nobunaga looked at Yoshiyin and smiled.

"Sage, you don't need to make any more detours with me. Isn't it just a bargaining chip to counteract the Sibo family's withdrawal from the Western Kingdom?
Okay, I'm in a good mood recently, so I don't want to worry about it too much.

If the Shiba family withdraws from the Western Kingdom conquest, we, the Oda family, will come on our own. If the Shiba family refuses to use the shogunate's justice, we, the Oda family, will conquer by force.

You just want to protect Nizi Shengjiu's life, I will satisfy you, why bother talking? "

Yoshiyin stared at Oda Nobunaga, always feeling that something was wrong with her today, and she seemed to be extremely excited.

While Yoshigan was observing Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga had already focused on the dining table in front of her. The smell of grilled fish in front of her penetrated into her nose, making her want to vomit.

These days, Oda Nobunaga has trouble eating and sleeping, and is very sensitive. The most unbearable thing is the fishy smell of aquatic products.

"Akechi Mitsuhide!"

"Hi!"

Akechi Mitsuhide was sitting at the banquet serving the two masters. When he heard Oda Nobunaga's greeting, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to obey the order.

Oda Nobunaga overturned the grilled fish on the table and almost hit Mitsuhide Akechi on the head.

"This fish stinks, can't you smell the fishy smell? How dare you serve me this kind of crap, you bastard!"

Akechi Mitsuhide lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"I'm very sorry. This was my dereliction of duty."

Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide humiliating himself and being insulted by Oda Nobunaga, Yoshigan couldn't stand it.

Akechi Mitsuhide's father, who was a hostage, died because of Oda Nobunaga's reckless behavior. Oda Nobunaga still scolded her for a grilled fish, which was too much.

After all, Akechi Mitsuhide is also an important minister with status. How can he be insulted casually like a servant?
Yiyin, who couldn't stand it, said coldly.

"I think this grilled fish is very good and fresh. Oda Nobunaga, if you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. What's the point of bullying Akechi Mitsuhide?
Her father just passed away, please pay attention to your decency! "

Oda Nobunaga turned his head to look at Yi Gin, with a half-smile on his face, and slowly stood up.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today and don't want to worry about it. The things on this table make me sick, and there isn't even a sour plum. I'll go back first." Yoshigami felt more and more something was wrong, stared at Oda Nobunaga, and asked.

"You're leaving now?"

This time Yoshigan came, he was already mentally prepared to be dented into various postures by Oda Nobunaga, but Oda Nobunaga suddenly turned into Yanage Megumi, which made Yoshigan very uncomfortable.

Oda Nobunaga walked up to Giginza, knelt down, and kissed his lips on his own initiative, not caring at all about Akechi Mitsuhide, who was still kowtowing to the ground and kneeling there.

After a long time, there was a trace of broken silk between the lips. Oda Nobunaga looked at Yoshigami and touched his belly, with a trace of rosy brilliance on his face.

"I have."

Yoshiyin's eyes widened and he looked at Oda Nobunaga in disbelief.

"Yes... yes?"

It was rare for Oda Nobunaga to see him look so silly, and he felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, feeling the first experience of being a parent, feeling the tranquility and tenderness he had never experienced before at this moment.

Yoshigan looked at Oda Nobunaga's face. This surly and cold woman actually showed motherly love on her face.

The Demon King on the sixth day seemed to be reincarnated into a human being at this moment. She was no longer a bloodless and tearless demon. She also had treasures worth cherishing and understood what love was.

Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand to touch Yoshigage's slightly dull cheek and said with a smile.

"I'm in a very good mood now. For the sake of the child, I won't argue with you. You can do whatever you want.

Ni Zi Sheng Jiu, fortune is good for her.

If the Shiba family wants to withdraw, they can withdraw. The Oda family can conquer the land of the West by ourselves.

I'm tired, so I'll go back first.

I came here this time just to tell you the good news. You have been avoiding me these days, and you don’t know how uncomfortable I am.

I have to go back and have a good rest. The doctor said that the first three months are the most important and asked me to be careful.

Your seed, oh, is really powerful, you are worthy of it. "

Oda Nobunaga leaned down and kissed Yi Gin lightly again and said.

“I acted too impatiently regarding Hatano Hideharu, but when the incident happened suddenly, I had to act decisively and could not just go back to the mountain.

Mitsuhide Akechi. . I will make it up to her, and you should stop worrying about these little things.

Our child is being conceived in my belly. You should also be happy. Don't always cause trouble between you and me over trivial matters. "

After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he stood up and left with a smile. Yoshiyin looked at her back and was speechless for a moment.

Neither of them noticed that Akechi Mitsuhide was kneeling on the ground. Her expression lowered on the tatami suddenly twitched and became extremely ferocious.

Oda Nobunaga was finally pregnant with the saint's divine seed. The beast that took away the saint for the first time and ruined the saint's life had already achieved what he wanted after humiliating the saint countless times.

Akechi Mitsuhide's heart was in turmoil, and the murderous intent in his eyes couldn't be restrained and spread out.

She endured the humiliation, made many arrangements, and wanted to kill Oda Nobunaga. It was that night that she learned that the saint was defiled by Oda Nobunaga for the first time.

From then on, Akechi Mitsuhide knew that between himself and Oda Nobunaga, there could only be one person living in this world, breathing the same world as her, which made Akechi Mitsuhide feel sick.

What grand plans for hegemony and ownership of the world were all embellishments added later. From the beginning, Akechi Mitsuhide had only one simple idea, to kill Oda Nobunaga.

For this goal, Akechi Mitsuhide can do anything and endure anything!
At this moment, hearing the news of Oda Nobunaga's pregnancy, Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't help but tremble slightly and clenched his fists.

After watching Oda Nobunaga leave, Yoshigage withdrew his gaze and turned to Akechi Mitsuhide, just in time to see her trembling slightly.

Yiyin, who didn't know the truth, sighed and said softly.

"Everyone is gone, get up."

Akechi Mitsuhide thanked the saint, raised his head and revealed a cute and cute face, which was already full of tears, and his acting skills were excellent.

As expected, Yiyin couldn't bear it and stepped forward to help her up and sit next to him.

"Oda Nobunaga... Sigh, let's not talk about this troublesome guy. I know you feel aggrieved. I owe you this matter.

If I hadn't asked you to speak for Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, why would you have caused so much trouble and even cost your old father. "

Akechi Mitsuhide bit his lower lip, shaking his head and choking.

"It's my duty to share the saint's worries. It's all my fault that I didn't handle things well because of my lack of ability.

only. . only. . I had been separated from my father for many years, and finally gained some status. I thought I could bring him back to enjoy his old age, but this happened to me. I was really sorry for him. "

Akechi Mitsuhide's tears couldn't stop flowing out, which made Yoshiyin feel distressed.

Although he knew that the elegant and beautiful woman in front of him was actually a ruthless strategist who was feared by many warriors, this situation still made Yiyin unable to think too badly of her.

After all, it’s a father-daughter connection, and the true feelings are revealed.

Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Even if she is cold-blooded and calculating like Mitsuhide Akechi, she is still a person and a daughter, and she also has her own feelings.

Yiyin sighed and comforted in a low voice.

"This is not your fault, I am responsible, and Oda Nobunaga also has problems.

In short, people cannot be resurrected, so you still have to grieve. I will compensate you afterwards. As for Oda Nobunaga, I will not let her treat you badly.

She killed Hatano Hideharu and thought she could swallow up the Tamba Kingdom? Stop dreaming!
I will make it clear to her that it is up to you to conquer the Danbo Kingdom and it is up to you to make the decision. "

Akechi Mitsuhide said in astonishment.

"I just took the country of Tango. If I take the country of Danba again, it will be criticized. Please think twice, sage."

Yi Yin shook his head.

"Tamba Kingdom is Kinki's bridgehead against the Western Kingdom. I have given up on the Western Kingdom for the sake of Nizi Katsuhisa, so arranging defense in Kinki is a necessary strategic plan.

How to divide the land of Danba Kingdom will be discussed in the future, but you must cheer up and conquer Danba Kingdom with all your heart. Afterwards, you should get the lion's share of the rewards for military achievements. Who has any gossip?
Oda Nobunaga, she is sorry for you and must compensate you. Don't worry, she knows this well and will not stand in your way. "

Yiyin comforted softly, Akechi Mitsuhide huddled in his arms, but his eyes flickered.

I don’t know what’s going on with Nizi Shengjiu. Has the assassination been successful?

It was an unexpected surprise that the saint allowed him to conquer Danba Kingdom.

In this way, Akechi Mitsuhide can naturally mobilize a large number of troops in Kinki, as long as he can trick Oda Nobunaga out of Azuchi Castle and find a suitable location. . Remove it quickly.
