A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Matsudaira Ieyasu is currently in the weakest state in his life. The Nishi Mikawa group is rebelling. He is also a talent among talents, and he can actually make the whole country rebel.

It's not impossible to give him a hand, and it's actually not unprofitable to give him a hand. At least there will be certain benefits politically (obtaining a strategic buffer zone with the Oda family), economically (plundering to supplement national supplies), and military (soldiers grabbing a handful will boost their morale).

Sanhe is a corridor in the geographical environment. Because the Nakasendo Road was difficult to walk, Oda took Mino Iwa Village and Naegi Castle, and Yamauchi believed Nogi was Fukushima Castle. As long as the city soldiers hold on, they can wait for the mobilization of the army from the rear. This road is definitely not that easy to walk. Historically, Takeda Harunobu only used Akiyama Nobuyou as a special force to harass Mino.

The key point where the Oda Mountains are truly connected and can join forces on a large scale is in the Mikawa Kingdom. Previously, the Oda Fusatsudaira clan and the Yamauchi Fu Uden clan each occupied half of the Mikawa Kingdom. Both sides intend to exercise restraint and use it as a buffer zone.

This is a manifestation of political wisdom. It does not mean that the more food you eat, the better. Anyone who has played with the four cute guys in P Club should know that overexpansion has too many disadvantages.

Now Oda Nobunaga asked Yamauchi to help send troops to Mikawa to help join the war. Since the arrogance of Yi Kui Zhong has been hit politically, the heavenly soldiers of the Prime Minister's family in the mountain have come, you guys still won't surrender? At the same time, it can avoid defense problems after he deploys his own stretched troops.

On a deeper level, Oda Nobunaga's request may not be to test whether the Yamauchi family is interested in Noubi. If Yamauchi helps the Matsudaira family return to the city, the two sides are not directly connected and support the agent. Each has its own strategy, and getting a stable back is good for both families.

And if the Yamauchi family subdued the people led by the Unoden clan of Higashi Mikawa, they would still have to look at Shu, thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to take over all Mikawa and look at the land of Owari. Then there must be a battle in Oda Mountain, it is inevitable.

Oda Nobunaga will definitely turn around and contact Takeda Harunobu immediately. Anyway, it is about sending a miracle pill. Oda Nobunaga is really not short of a son. In the future, even Toyotomi Hideyoshi will receive one for free.

…………

When Xiao Pingtai mentioned this matter to his old father-in-law, the old father-in-law expressed his support after some thought. The Yamauchi Army can go to Nishi Mikawa to fight for a while, and there is no need to mobilize too many troops. As long as five or six thousand people are enough, it will be enough.

If Oda Nobunaga was in trouble, he asked his brother Hirate to offer five hundred, Sakuma Nobumori to offer one thousand, and Lin Xiuzhen to offer five hundred. That's two thousand. No matter how miserable Matsudaira Ieyasu is, it's no problem to recruit a thousand people.

He also promised his daughter Kamehime to the Okuhira family, and there was no problem for the three parties of the Yama family to bring six to seven hundred people to help the in-laws. In this way, Oda can only have 4,000 soldiers, plus reinforcements from Yamauchi. An army of ten thousand people is absolutely invincible in Xisanhe.

After all, there is a difference between the regular army and the Yikui people, not to mention the Sanhe Yikui people who have ulterior motives.

Before, I just bullied Matsudaira Ieyasu because he wasn't strong enough, and he didn't have many die-hard family retainers. In addition, they suddenly broke out and swarmed up, punching and beating the old master to death. This formed a wave that swept almost the entire Nishi Mikawa, and even Okazaki was stolen.

Of course, Hosokawa Harumiya not only analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves, as well as geopolitical interests, but also had more considerations.

The old father-in-law loves his son-in-law very much, and every son-in-law is half a son. What's more, he is a son-in-law like our Xiaopingtai who is filial, respectful and loving to his wife, right?

Hosokawa Haruna's thief's head felt like it was spinning faster than a computer, and he quickly pointed out the way to Xiaoheita. The Yamauchi plan had no children, and the eldest daughter had already been married to Hosokawa, and the second daughter was still young. Normally, Chief Yamauchi would find a suitable one from the same clan, and then give him a female wife.

This matter has been discussed openly among the upper-level samurai of the Yamauchi family. It is best to just be the redundant son of the family. If it is not possible, the second and third sons of the retainers can be used. The range of choices is neither too large nor too small.

But now that you have a son who comes to your door for nothing, why don’t you want him!

According to Koheita, Nohime was unable to have children, and Mrs. Ikoma was the most favored person under Oda Nobunaga's wife. There is a high probability that Oda Kimaru will be adopted by Nohime and inherit the family business.

In addition, Oda Nobunaga was in his prime, such an energetic man would definitely have more descendants in the future.

Then a younger brother with the same father and mother as Oda Kimaru should come over and be the adopted son of Chief Yamauchi. Oda Nobunaga will definitely agree to this, as he has to give away so many sons.

The Yamauchi family was the direct descendant of the Seiwa Genji family, the Kawachi Genji family was the Ashikaga family, and the son of the Oda family was simply a high achiever.

What's more, if the Yamauchi family has a clan who is a brother to the head of the Oda family, many things will be much easier. Whether it's negotiation or collaboration, the words spoken by brothers are always more useful than those spoken by outsiders.

"Presumably Mrs. Ikoma is so favored that she won't only give birth to one child, right?" Hosokawa Harugong smiled and looked at Xiaoheita.

"That shouldn't be the case. She seems to be quite fertile." Xiao Pingtai's impression was that Mrs. Ikoma was also the kind of person who would have three babies every five years. Anyway, she had a lot of children. 【Note 1】

But think about it carefully, besides Wu Deji being her daughter, how many sons does she have?

"Then go with your father. The master plan can distinguish the importance." After Hosokawa Harumiya confirmed that Oda Kimaru had a biological brother with the same father and mother, he was very appreciative of his clever plan.

The chief accountant of Yamauchi, who was deceived by Hosokawa Erungong for a while, had already thought about adopting a stepson. As a writer in Yamauchi's sect, he needed someone to inherit the family business.

He was a little hesitant to hold the son of Oda Nobunaga. The status of the Oda family was too low, and he felt that he was not worthy of his family. A family with a mere priest background, pretending to be the Taira family, really made him feel that he had insulted the nobility of the Yamauchi family.

Although he didn't have a completely satisfactory candidate in his heart, the sudden confession of Oda Nobunaga's son always made him unable to make an immediate decision.

Hosokawa Harugong was sincere and continued to deceive. What era has it been? You can buy birthplace, but if you can't buy it, you can still fake it. Now the Oda family sits on one side and looks at the other three, and Owari is the leader of the country. They also attack from both sides to spy on Ise Mino.

Even if he doesn't look down on the descendants of priests, at least his identity as the leader of Owari Kingdom is real.

[Note 1]: Mrs. Ikoma should have been exactly thirty years old when she married Nobunaga. Emmmm, it was really the most wonderful age. No wonder he firmly grasped Oda Nobunaga, a man much younger than him, and later Nobunaga built Komakiyama Castle as his residence. In order to reflect the status of Mrs. Ikoma, a pavilion was specially built for her. This kind of treatment is only Nohime's.

Thank you all, my new book ranks first on the site.
