Chapter 1929 The Wonderful Pill That Cannot Die

If it can be said that when Akeko Mitsuhide came to Luo to kill Oda Nobunaga at Honnoji Temple, she was still able to mobilize and command 13,000 troops to surround Kyoto.

So now Akechi Mitsuhide, apart from the two or three thousand troops directly under her own command, she can no longer make other coalition forces bow their heads and obey orders.

The Shiba family's territory in Kinki is not large. The core Kinki Shiba territory only has 200,000 koku.

Yoshigan Shiba used the traditional values ​​​​of the samurai family to win over the shogunate, the powerful local factions in the shogunate, the remaining forces of the Ashikaga family, and the powerful samurai families in Kinki to form a coalition to fight.

Through the cooperation experience of several sieges on the Miyoshi family, the Rokkaku family, and the Oda family, the Spo Allied Forces mobilization system headed by Kinki General Maeda has matured.

Akechi Mitsuhide went to Luo this time in the name of conquering the Hatano family's rebellion in Tamba Kingdom, mobilizing 13,000 troops and commanding the coalition to fight.

Her power comes from the royal decree of the sage, and her military power comes from the authorization and cooperation of the interests of Maeda, the general of Kinki.

Akechi Mitsuhide besieged Honnōji without authorization and killed Oda Nobunaga. The coalition forces surrounded Kyoto. This was actually the result of the tacit consent of the Kinki coalition forces.

But now that Oda Nobunaga is dead, Akechi Mitsuhide has no use value.

Akechi Mitsuhide has not been involved in human affairs in recent years, wandering between the Shiba and Oda families, and has offended many Kinki samurai families.

This time, it's the same thing.

Let’s just say that in the current situation, there are many more people who want her to die than to want her to live.

---

When Miyoshi went to Luo and killed the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, didn't everyone know that Miyoshi and the others were unjustly accused?

I know, but so what? The master of the world is dead, and someone has to stand up and take the blame. It will be bad luck for the three good people and the three others.

If she hadn't been ruthless and decisive, framed Miyoshi and three others, and sent Ashikaga's family to the West, the grass on the graves of the Matsunaga family would have been five feet high by now.

Matsunaga Hide has endured Mitsuhide Akechi for so many years, pretending to be a close friend with a hot face but a cold butt. Does she really like Mitsuhide Akechi, the bastard who always cheats on her?

The bells of Daitoku Temple echoed, and a ritual ceremony to commemorate Oda Nobunaga was being held.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew the details of Matsunagahide very well and repeatedly threatened Matsunagahide to do things for him. Matsunagahide had long been intolerable.

When Miyoshi went to Luo, the fire at the Imperial Palace was an eternal pain in Matsunagahide's heart.

Instead of panicking, it would be better to sell Akechi Mitsuhide and let Oda's surviving ministers vent their grievances, and then everyone can continue to live their lives.

Therefore, when Akechi Mitsuhide woke up from a coma and wasted five days, she had lost control of all situations and could only be forced to face an infinitely malicious new environment.

If Mitsuhide Akechi could be silenced forever, Nagahide Matsushita would certainly be willing to help the Oda family take revenge and let go of Yodo City's water transportation interception.

Oda Nobunaga is dead, but the Oda family's 4 million koku territory is still there. No one wants to be splashed with blood by the Oda army's backlash. If Akechi Mitsuhide is not dead, how can the blame be divided?

When the sage comes back to Kinki, his eyes are like a torch and he can distinguish right from wrong. Who will not be afraid of more changes?

Besides, can Akechi Mitsuhide be considered innocent? The three good people died much more unjustly than she did.

As the sect closest to Oda Nobunaga, the Daitokuji Temple faction of the Rinzai sect came forward to collect the remains of Oda Nobunaga's burnt body, held a funeral for her, and prepared to bury her in Daitokuji Temple.

In this regard, the Tiantai Sect, Rinzai Sect and other Kyoto temples all acquiesced and even sent people to help.

The various samurai groups in Kyoto that had previously turned a blind eye to Oda Nobunaga's plight also sent people to pay their respects to the rebellious and innovative samurai warrior. At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide had already felt the change in the political direction from the scale of the funeral and the number of people participating, but she had no energy to change anything because she had more important things to do.

Akechi Mitsuhide was meeting with the Tendai sect Tenkai disciples at Nanzen-ji Temple, in the Kyoto Zen room where Oda Nobunaga loved to stay during his lifetime, the same room where the saint lived in abjection.

On the night of the Incident at Honnoji Temple, Tianhai was heartbroken when she saw the other courtyard on fire, and then the black man who crawled out of the dog hole in the other courtyard brought her even more trouble.

Oda Nobunaga died, but his daughter Kiyomaru was given to the Tendai Soni Corps stationed in the main hall of Honnoji Temple.

The black man saw a group of Tendai sect nuns coming to investigate, stuffed Miraculous Maru into the arms of Tenkai, who was the most luxuriously dressed among them, left a last word from Oda Nobunaga, and disappeared into the night.

When Tianhai saw clearly the appearance of the child in his arms and the seal letter personally signed by the infant Oda Nobunaga, he was suddenly confused in the wind.

She led the Ni Corps to withdraw from Honnoji Temple overnight and retreated to Nanzen Temple near Kamogawa River, ready to run back to Mount Hiei at any time.

It wasn't until news came from Kyoto that Mitsuhide Akechi had a miscarriage and was in coma, that Tenkai people, who were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, stopped to watch.

Akechi Mitsuhide was in coma for five days. Countless forces inside and outside Kyoto came to visit Tenkai, in fact, to confirm the true existence of Miracle Maru.

As more and more people came, Tianhai became more and more confident.

Because no matter whether it is the martial arts family or the sect, everyone's attitude is very clear, nothing will happen to Qi Qiwan!

If Kijimaru and Oda Nobunaga died together in the fire at Honnoji Temple, everyone can blame Mitsuhide Akechi and clap their hands and pretend to be innocent.

But if Akechi Mitsuhide kills Kijimaru now, no one will be able to escape responsibility.

Back then, the saint could mobilize 100,000 troops to fight Oda Nobunaga for a Takeda illegitimate daughter who was forced to give birth.

Today, who can guarantee that the saint will not get angry with everyone present in Kyoto because of the daughter he gave birth to with Oda Nobunaga.

At this moment, there were only two people in the room, Tianhai and Akechi Mitsuhide.

Tianhai held the sleeping Qiwan in his arms, Akechi Mitsuhide looked down at the baby girl, and the room was silent for a moment.

In the distance, the bells of Daitoku Temple came, and the funeral of Oda Nobunaga was coming to an end. No matter how powerful a person was, no matter how powerful she was during her lifetime, she would eventually be buried in a pile of loess.

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes were full of complicated emotions. The baby girl who was just over one month old no longer looked like a newborn wrinkled monkey. Her fair and tender face was covered with baby fat, and she was snoring very cutely.

Not long ago, Mitsuhide Akechi buried his unborn child, which was also a baby girl.

Looking at the magical pill in front of her, her eyebrows were actually slightly longer, and her facial features were vaguely similar to those of Shiba Yiyin.

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, if my child is still alive, will he look like a saint? After all, a daughter is like her father.

A knife-like feeling came to his heart, but Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes became increasingly numb.

Maybe, this is my own retribution.
