Chapter 719 The Road to Change

Looking at his excited daughter, Maeda Toshihisa finally understood why she had to figure out Akechi Mitsuhide's intentions.

She didn't want to hinder, she just wanted to help!

Maeda Riku couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Shiba Yoshigin, what kind of Ji warriors are under the command of the master of Shiba's revival?
People who say they are loyal to the emperor, but in their hearts they are the ones whose old lady wants you, are despised.

The Maeda mother and daughter had calculated everything, and it was impossible for Mitsuhide Akechi to go crazy enough to kill the general. They got an explanation that they thought was reasonable.

The difference is a thousand miles away.

Maeda Toshihisa said.

"Now that you have made up your mind, how are you going to help Liujiao and her daughter return to Guanyin Temple City?"

Maeda benefit smiled.

"It's easy.

I will send someone to transport some supplies to Hino Castle, and express my anger at the behavior of the Hexagonal Retainer Group Xia Keshang.

Takeshi Girihime of the Shiba family hates the thieves below him the most. "

Maeda Toshiku chuckled, you Shiba family bastards are all coveting the lord, and they are all malicious to the general.How shameless is it to say such things in righteous words?
Seeing his daughter getting thicker and thicker, Maeda Riku couldn't help shaking his head.

"You first write a letter to Nizi Shengjiu, explaining that you are helping the Liujiao family to ensure the stability of recent days, and seek her understanding.

Akechi Mitsuhide is the target of your temptation, but Nizi Katsuhisa should win over.Don't make enemies everywhere, learn to respect people. "

Maeda benefit bowed.

"Hey, mother is right, I will write to Nizi Shengjiu.

After the Omi War, I kept up the pressure on Koga County, and the mother and daughter of the Rokkaku couldn't get the support of the Koga people.

As long as I show goodwill and I am no longer a threat, the Liujiao mother and daughter will inevitably seek help from the semi-independent Jiahezhong and participate in the internal struggle.

The Liujiao family is the direct branch of the Sasaki family.The Sasaki family has been rooted in the Omi Kingdom for thousands of years, and the Liujiao family has also been the ruler of Minami Omi for hundreds of years. Their power is deeply rooted and they will not be overthrown so easily.

As long as there is no external threat, the hexagonal vassal group of Guanyin Temple City will not be able to withstand the doubts of the grassroots warriors and the harassment of Jiahezhong.

If I say again that I will go north after the spring plowing, to help Liujiao and her daughter set things right.Maybe, Guanyin Temple City can't bear the internal and external pressure, and will ask the Lord to return to the city to discuss the follow-up. "

Maeda Toshihisa glanced at his daughter, the child is becoming more and more skillful.

The biggest external threat to the Liujia family now is Iga's Maeda interests.

Ashikaga Yoshiki suppressed the vassals in the Yamashiro country, and for a while he couldn't spare the troubles in the internal riots of the Rokkaku family.

And Kita Omi's Asai family has fought too many fierce battles for more than a year, and they are exhausted, unable to affect the chaos in Nan Omi.

As long as Maeda backs down and is even willing to help Liujiao's mother and daughter, the pro-Liujiao forces within the Liujiao family will make trouble again.

Under the internal and external pressure, the hexagonal vassal group of Guanyin Temple City did not have many choices.Only by reconciling with the lord, at most, can take advantage of the lord's family.

Maeda Toshihisa said.

"According to what you said, there is one thing I can do to help the Liujiao mother and daughter."

Maeda Yoshiki looked at his mother and listened to her.

"His Highness Oda took Inabayama Castle, renamed it Gifu Castle, and engraved the seal of the world's martial arts.

She ordered the Nishi Mino samurai to pursue the escaped Saito Ryuko and other Saito remnants, and would attack Kita Ise after the spring plowing. "

Maeda Yoshiki was stunned for a moment, and said.

"Didn't Saito Ryuko be brought to Iga by Saito's retainers, in the territory of Akechi Mitsuhide?"

Maeda Riku looked at his daughter and smiled wryly.

"Does it matter?"

Maeda's face was serious, it really didn't matter.

Saito Longxing is just a little girl, still wet.Oda Nobunaga may not care where she went, at worst, he will encounter a knife in the future.

Oda Nobunaga sent the Nishi Mino samurai to intervene in Kita Ise, which is a very bad omen.

Ise country is close to the next few days, and after passing the two mountainous areas of Suzuka Nunobiki, there are Omi, Iga, and Yamato Three Kingdoms.

Especially Kita Ise.

Back then, Shiba Yoshiyin and Maeda Masaki went to Luo, they were going to the northern Ise line, and there were actually some affiliated samurai of the Rokkaku family there.

The samurai family in Ise is divided into north and south, the south is the Ise country division Kitabata family, and the north is the eight counties of Kita Ise, where there are many local kingdoms.

Among the members of the Northern Ise Kingdom, some samurai families headed by the Guan family and the Kobe family have already been won over by the Minami Omi Liujiao family.

The governors of the two families married the two sons of the Liujiao important minister Gamo's family. After the marriage, they were subordinate to the Liujiao family, and they were the subsidiary forces of the Liujiao family in Northern Ise.

And Liujiao's mother and daughter escaped from Guanyin Temple City and came to Hino Castle. Hino City Lord Gamo Hyun-hide is the Gamo Family Governor of this generation.The governor of the two families in Northern Ise married her brother, and they are sisters.

Kamo Kenhide was originally mediating with all parties within the Liujiao family, hoping to end the riot at Guanyin Temple.If I receive news that the Oda family has invaded Kita Ise, I'm afraid it will be even more urgent.

The alliance of in-laws is the most stable samurai relationship, and the in-laws of Kitaise are also a great help for the Gamo family to make a living within the Liujiao family.

Now that the Guan family and the Kobe family are threatened by the Oda family, Kamao Kenhide will definitely try his best to promote harmony in the family to deal with external threats.

Maeda Yili glanced at his mother and knew in his heart that although the two parties were only adoptive mothers and daughters, his mother treated him very well.

The Iga Maeda family is inextricably linked with the four counties of Shimoowari, especially the two counties of Haixi and Haidong.

Many of Maeda Yoshihisa's vassals are the Maeda Yehime samurai from the deserted city brought by Maeda Toshihisa from Owari, and the local samurai from Kaito Haixi.

Therefore, the relationship between the Iga Maeda family and Owari is very delicate.

Maeda Toshihisa seems to have given the Rokkaku family an excuse to integrate the interior, but in fact he betrayed the Oda family's strategic intentions.

On the one hand, it alerted the Liujia family, and on the other hand, it also reminded Maeda's interests.The tentacles of Nobunaga, the governor of the Oda family who aspires to the world, have slowly approached Iga country.

The Maeda mother and daughter looked at each other, both worried.

In recent years, internal and external troubles have continued, and Sipo's family is not in harmony.I really don't know what troubles will happen in the next year. Why hasn't Shiba Yoshihiro come back yet?

Maeda Masayoshi was silent for a moment and asked.

"Where's Maeda Toshie? What's her attitude?"

Maeda Toshihisa looked at his daughter with dissatisfaction. Maeda Toshiie was her younger sister, but her daughter was very resistant to her, and she didn't speak honorifics.

However, the same seems to be the case with Maeda Toshie, and the two sides have already regarded each other as rivals.

Maeda Toshihisa sighed secretly, and then said.

"Last year, she helped the Oda family lay down Jianshan Castle, and then led the troops back to the territory to repair it.

Toshie Hime is the acting official of Owari Shiba, not Oda's retainer, and has not participated in the review of Gifu City, and is still waiting for His Highness Oda's call. "

Maeda benefit sneered.

"As Shiba's vassal, but fighting for the Oda family, I really don't know what she is thinking."

Maeda Toshihisa pouted.Isn't it just like you, working hard to expand your strength and find a way to get married?
She didn't want to talk about this embarrassing topic anymore, so she diverted.

"She has made a lot of contributions in the Mino Raiders, and she should get more knowledge and security, and the Owari Shiba leader should be even stronger.

His Highness Oda is indeed a magnanimous lord, he has a bad temper but the reward is fair, and Toshikahime will not suffer. "

Maeda Yoshiki was still thinking about it.

"Using the military power of the Shiba family to conquer the world for the Oda family, causing the Oda family to threaten the near future.

She doesn't suffer, so who suffers? "

The mother and daughter scolded each other without saying a word, and in the end they didn't know what they were talking about.

The Maeda family is a samurai family under the command of the Oda family, and the original path is clearly visible, nothing more than following Oda Nobunaga to conquer the world.

However, this route was turned upside down by the intruding Shiba Yoshigin.Now Maeda Toshiie and Maeda Toshiie are competing secretly, and they have become two Maeda branches that go hand in hand.

Lichang, the governor of Maeda's hometown in Huangzi City, is probably depressed and difficult to understand. He really doesn't know whether to thank him or hate him.

In short, the Maeda family could not do without him.
