Pillars of the Wu family

The death of Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to blow up a [-]-level typhoon. When Oda Nobunaga was holding the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto to show off his martial arts, the remaining Imagawa samurai in the battlefield chose to use their own methods to die for the Lord. , Yamada Shinemon had successfully escaped, and when he learned that the lord was killed, he only returned to the battlefield and rushed to Oda Nobunaga's main battle to die heroically.

After Matsui Sonobu's death, all his clan members shed blood on the battlefield. The dead included most of the elite of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Yoshimoto's uncle Kamahara Ujimasa, brother-in-law Asai Masatoshi, nephew Kuno Shitada, Suruga flag leader Miura Yoshiyuki, Jun Adhere to Yoshida Clan, Banner to Anhara Motomasa, Diplomacy to Ichinomiya Soshi, Back Front Banner Head Katsuyama Nagayoshi, Spear to Izu Mototoshi, Left Standby General Oka Nobusada, First Front General Asahina Hidekan, Front Standby General Fujieda Akira, Katsuyama Motokiyo, Ejiri Kiyoshi, Matsui Sonobu, Kuno Motomune, Ii Naomori, Yubi Masanobu, etc.

In this battle, the Oda Army asked for a total of 1000 heads, and there were more than [-] generals from the Imagawa family with names. Each of these people was a powerful warrior at the level of a city lord. There are more than [-] warriors. These people are all out-and-out elite warriors. They are the essence of training after more than ten years, and then go through several years to decades of battle battles. .

This surprise attack brought Oda Nobunaga's name to the forefront of history, allowing him to rank among the top military generals. What the Oda family gained was not just a victory or three thousand heads, but the number one in Tokaido. Yutori, the leader of the Suruga lord Imagawa Yoshimoto, his death heralds the irresistible decline of the Imagawa family, and the Tokaido dominance system that the Imagawa family has painstakingly managed for generations will also face collapse.

Oda Nobunaga lived up to expectations.After the end of the Battle of Barrel Hazama, take advantage of the victory and pursue.Taking advantage of the spread of the news that Yoshimoto Imagawa was dead in Ozama, he launched a full-scale attack on the territory of Owari.Soon the army attacked the base of Tagua Castle, and Kira Yoshian, who had already been frightened by the news of his father-in-law's death, hurriedly withdrew back to Tojo Castle under the escort of Pu Dai's retainers.

But what about people? Kondo Keharu, the lord of Narumi Castle, died in battle. Shigehara Castle surrendered on the spot when he saw the Oda Army killing him. Tsushima Mizujun Hattori Tomosada, who assisted in blocking the sea route, also retreated to his lair. Bu Yuanxin left it where he was, and after learning the news of the death of the lord Imagawa Yoshimoto, this brave general not only did not have a mental breakdown.Instead, he broke out with bloody courage, and beat the Oda Army several times to stop him from moving forward.

No matter how many waves of samurai from the Oda family came to persuade them to surrender, they would all be blasted away. Perhaps it was moved by Okabe Motoxin's bravery and loyalty, and of course it was more likely that he was unwilling to waste time on this fortified city. Oda Nobunaga offered an offer that he could not refuse The reason is that Narumi Castle Kaesong surrendered on the condition that the head of the Imakawa Yoshitoshi was returned.

In the end, Okabe Motonobu respectfully held the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and withdrew hundreds of remnants of the war and retreated safely from Narumi Castle. Halfway through, he remembered that he had not achieved any success in this war and watched Imagawa Yoshimoto helplessly. Died, annoyed on the way home to attack Kariya Castle belonging to Mizuno Nobumoto on the border of Owari.And beheaded the head of Mizuno Nobukin, the general who stayed behind in the castle, before slowly withdrawing to Junfu Castle.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's saber.Sosan's left writing also fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga. The origin of this knife is quite tortuous. It was a gift given to Takeda Nobunaga by Miyoshi Zhengzhang when Takeda Nobutora went to Luoyang 20 years ago. After the end, when Yoshimoto Imagawa became the son-in-law of Nobutora Takeda, he was donated to Yoshimoto Imagawa by Nobutora Takeda.

The three owners of this knife did not end well. The first owner, Miyoshi Sozo, held this knife for a long time. Seeing that this knife is called "Sozo", you can tell that the time spent in his hands has some thoughts. , Miyoshi Sozo also broke with Miyoshi Changqing shortly thereafter, and was finally beheaded by Miyoshi Changqing in the Battle of Eguchi.

The second owner, Nobutora Takeda, was in his hands for less than two or three years, and was exiled to Suruga by his son-in-law Harunobu Takeda not long after. They teamed up to trick them in, so that they were discouraged and hid in Suruga without asking about world affairs.

As for the third owner, Imagawa Yoshimoto, he cherished this famous sword very much after he got it, and named it "Yoshimoto Zuomoji" not long after, so he ended up in the miserable situation of being decapitated in the barrel. Dao's bizarre life experience can be described as extremely strange, and there is no place for people not to worry.

It's just that Oda Nobunaga is a person who believes in fate, he doesn't care about this kind of nagging things, not only doesn't care about such prophecies, but also likes this Zongsanzuo writing, and soon in This Yoshimoto left handwriting is engraved with a line of words "On July [-]th, the first year of Yongroku, Yoshimoto was arrested and engraved with the knife Oda Owari Mori nobunaga". The self-proclaimed Owari Shou may be to satisfy his own vanity. .

When Oda Nobunaga's banner was victorious and pursued the victory, a group of terrified warriors at the other end of the battlefield were fleeing desperately. Imagawa Yoshimoto's capable son-in-law, Matsudaira Motoyasu, took the remnants of more than a thousand names, and on the night of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death. Fleeing from Dataka Castle in a panic, fortunately it was already late at that time, and the Oda family said that they were able to escape smoothly by staring at the fleeing Imagawa army. The luggage and pack horses in Gaocheng were all thrown down, and they trudged along the edge of the battlefield back to Sanhe.

Matsudaira Motoyasu was terribly flustered, obviously the Oda family's army hadn't caught up yet, but he had already scared himself pale, maybe he was too young to be experienced and timid, in short he was worried about himself, the son-in-law of "Imagawa Yoshimoto" "Will become the key target of the Oda family. I don't have a brand as big as Kira Yoshian, and I don't have a younger brother who is powerful in the world. Take Chiyo's playmate, didn't he die wronged.

In the past, there was a big tree like the Imagawa family, and I still ended up with a big tree to enjoy the shade. After several years of painstaking efforts, I have also gained a reputation within the Imagawa family system. As long as I continue to maintain this rhythm, I will be mixed with the elders of the Pudai family and even the Sanhe country. There is no problem with the flag head, but when Yoshimoto Imakawa is dead, it becomes a different situation. The Imagawa family is doomed, so why isn't he himself doomed?

The more I thought about it, the more I was afraid, the more I was afraid, the more I thought about it. Finally, when I thought about Matsudaira Motoyasu, I ran into a dead end and ran all the way outside Okazaki City to hide in the Bodhi Temple of my ancestors for several generations. After thinking about it, I felt that I couldn’t live. A decent cut fell, so Matsudaira Motoyasu ran to the ancestor's spirit to prepare for seppuku.

At the critical moment of life and death, Deng Yutianshi, the abbot of Dashu Temple, suddenly appeared, pointed at Songping Yuankang and shouted: "Since you know this is the Bodhi Temple where your ancestors are enshrined, why don't you want to glorify your ancestors, but only care about seppuku when you encounter a strong enemy?" , you only thought about ending the troubles for a while, but you didn't think about continuing the ancestral tradition passed down to you by your ancestors. How can you go to Huangquan Biliangzaka like this to meet your ancestors? You must know that everyone is eager to leave Dirty land, but how many people really have the determination and perseverance to go to the pure land?"

Inspired by Toyu Amuro's great drink, Matsudaira Motoyasu gave up the stupid idea of ​​committing suicide, and rushed back to Okazaki Castle with more than 1000 elites on the same day. In the evening, he ordered his retainers to make a new flag seal with the words "disgusting from the filthy land, eager to seek the pure land" in eight characters. (To be continued..)

ps: I discussed with you today, and I talked about Oda Nobunaga’s cheating, and Imagawa Yoshimoto’s death is too outrageous. After all, I am not familiar with the military strategy after sitting in Junfu for more than 20 years. There used to be Taiyuan Xuezhai Don't worry about everything in the army. When Taiyuan Xuezhai dies and goes into battle, he will cause a big leak. Don't say how normal summer storms are. The team guarded the city and waited for victory, but Oda Nobunaga didn't have any moves.
