different warring states of japan

Chapter 204 Exposure
The most criticized problem in the samurai society is the stability of inheritance, and it is almost impossible to stabilize the transitional rights.

The head of a famous family, the family governor is the core, and Ji Wushi who is united with the family governor is her direct minister.

Further outwards, there are genealogical retainers, there are many people in the country, and there are many outsiders.

These people are not individual Ji warriors, but little masters with their own team.Too many small groups exist, representing too many different conflicting interests.

Once the family governor passes away and the young master succeeds, the balance in the family will be broken.

Then a new balance is reached in the repeated wrestling between each other, and then it is considered stable.

Some families may not be stable until they perish.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's female picture is roughly sketched, and all parties in the family are sincerely convinced and united.

What if she died?

Following Maeda Toshiie's request, the Takeshi Hatakemoto Hime of Imagawa despaired instantly.

According to the usual practice, if the governor of the family dies in battle, all the banners of the formation must follow and die.This is a deadly rule set up for fear of Banner's rebellion on the battlefield.

Now that Yoshimoto Imakawa is dead, her team of horses and backs has no way out.All of a sudden, he became fierce and wanted to kill a few backs.

Fortunately, they had a nervous breakdown and wanted to die.Without the spirit of unity and cooperation, fighting alone is not as strong as before.

When the army of the Oda family heard that Yoshimoto Imakawa was dead, their morale was greatly boosted.

For a while, Imagawa Yoshimoto's elite banner was faintly divided and scattered.

These flags were already at a disadvantage in number, and were divided and surrounded, and soon fell into a disadvantage.

When Oda Nobunaga heard the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death, he kept rushing forward excitedly, and Ikeda Hengxing, who was guarding her side, was quite frightened.

He hurriedly asked Ma Hui to follow her, surrounded her and fought forward, which made the formation of Imagawa Banner even more messy.

At this time, Jin Chuan Banner's anger was finally vented, and many people were too lazy to resist, and were cut down to the ground and stabbed to death with random guns.

No mercy, no surrender.Raiding the main formation is a great achievement, and the heads of every banner are old and valuable, so naturally they will be slaughtered.

"Inuchiyo! Where are you!"

The mountain stream was muddy, and there was a fight in the torrential rain. Oda Nobunaga couldn't find anyone, so he could only scream at the top of his voice.

"Your Highness Oda! I'm here!"

Shiba's army has only eight Ji warriors and fifty ashigaru.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto's death, her side near Banana was equally desperate and furious, beating the weak Sipo troops back again and again.

Fortunately, they fell into frenzy and had no rules, so Shiba's army, led by the two Maeda sisters, barely formed an formation to block the attack.

It wasn't until this time that Oda Nobunaga killed him that he was out of danger.

Although it was critical just now, Maeda Toshiie did not give up Imagawa Yoshimoto's body.

Cut off the head, wrapped it with torn cloth and tied it to the body, and the body was pulled by the foot lightly into the knotted Shiba formation.

After persisting until Oda Nobunaga came over, Maeda Toshiie took out the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto, knelt down and raised it above his head, presenting it to Nobunaga.

"Inu Chiyo has fulfilled his mission, Your Highness, please see, I have asked for Imagawa Yoshimoto."

Under the kamikaze, the rain will last at least half a day, or even a few days.In the dark, Oda Nobunaga could see clearly.

Just judging from the collapsed performance of Banners, this must be Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Nobunaga laughed and pulled Maeda Toshiie up.

"Inuchiyo, this time the first achievement is yours!"

After a while, the Oda army arrived one after another, taking advantage of their superior numbers and organization, they killed all of Imagawa Banner.

Several ministers and Oda Nobunaga hid under a cliff, sheltered from the rain on the edge of the mountain, and waited for orders.

"Sen Kecheng, you take our team back outside Narumi Castle.

Yamaguchi Ketsu should have finished clearing out the dissidents in the city, you go and tell her that Imakawa Yoshimoto is dead.

Then keep an eye on the city, if they enter the hinterland of Owari from Beitu, I will stick to it. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Kawajiri Hidetaka, take our team back to Zenzhao Temple and tell Quan Liu that Imakawa Yoshimoto is dead.

You help them defend the two villages, and when the enemy approaches, you shout that Imakawa Yoshimoto is dead. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Ikeda Hengxing, take a few people back to Qingzhou City quickly, and tell Niwa Nagahide that Imakawa Yoshimoto is the head.

Let her gather all the troops and advance to the southeast.

Divide part of the army first, and assist Sen Kecheng to guard Narumi Castle.The rest went south to Shanzhao Temple Village and joined me. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

The three of them were ordered to leave, and Oda Nobunaga was relieved.

Funny to say.

Imakawa Yoshimoto died, but because of the weather, her subordinates didn't know about it, and Oda Nobunaga was needed to tell them.

This period of time is the most critical time, strictly prevent deadlocks, and prevent the Imagawa family from entering the Nobi Plain.

Without core figures among them, the morale of the army will definitely be chaotic, and each family has their own thoughts.

As long as one family gives up revenge for Imagawa Yoshimoto and returns to the Suruga country.

Others must be afraid of being taken first, and when the young master succeeds later, they will be passive and let others take advantage of them.

Then under the effect of the leader, the Imagawa army is bound to rush back to the country, and Oda Nobunaga has passed this level.

Therefore, now is the critical juncture, and we cannot relax.

She didn't dare to mobilize her retainers before, only Naoko followed her to Tozazama, plus Sakuma's family in Fangzhai, the army strength was no more than [-].

Except for Shibata Katsuie who took the initiative to stand in line, Lin Xiuzhen missed another opportunity, which was remembered by Nobunaga.

Now Jinchuan Yiyuan is dead, and Jinchuan's army is in decline.The vassal group is no longer an unstable factor and can enter the battlefield to participate in the battle.

After all the orders were given, she glanced at Maeda Toshiie who was silently standing aside.

said suddenly.

"Why doesn't Shiba's ashigaru collapse?

I checked carefully, and their battle losses exceeded [-]%, and their morale and fighting spirit almost caught up with the Ma Huizhong. "

Maeda Toshiie narrowed his eyes, and Shiba Ashgaru's demeanor was exposed.

Should I tell Oda Nobunaga?
Marugen Village.

Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at the increasing wind and rain, and the anticipation and anxiety in his heart became more and more intense.

Outside the shogunate, Honda rushed in again and again.

Matsudaira Motoyasu stood up and looked at her nervously.

"The emissary sent to inform His Highness Imagawa is back, but she couldn't find anyone."

Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded in disappointment, and Honda's next words made her heart skip a beat.

"She heard the cheers."

Cheers. .

Imagawa Yoshimoto is very strict under the imperial government, governing the territory and the samurai under the pseudonym of Imagawa, and he dare not slack off when he returns to the side.

These Banner Hime warriors would never make a noise in front of the House Governor, especially in this nasty weather.

If anyone dared to cheer, they might lose their heads.

Who the hell is cheering?who is it!
Her heart beat faster and faster, more and more powerful.

"Lord Honda, send an envoy to go again.

No, let the capable warrior Mikawa Hime investigate!I want to know the real news, even if a few people die, I must find out!
To find out, that person, she is dead, no, dead! "

Matsudaira Motoyasu changed from his previous patience and kindness, his expression was solemn and cold as ice.
