A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 706 18. Urging Yoshiaki to make a decision (an update for yesterday’s sword battle)

Since Asakura Kageken's six thousand troops who rescued Makishima almost collapsed after encountering Oda Nobunaga, Nobunaga's capture of Obama was effortless.

Asakura Yoshikage was really nervous now, and Oda Nobunaga had already been hit in the face. So he no longer appointed a group of generals to go into battle, but personally supervised an army of 20,000 people. With flags flying, he went out of Ichijo Valley to compete with Oda Nobunaga.

Under the strong pressure of the 30,000 Oda troops, the 20,000-strong army broke up and fled back to Echizen on the night they just set down camp. Just as Asakura Yoshikage wanted to stop him, in the blink of an eye Maesami Yoshitsugi left the camp and surrendered to Oda Nobunaga.

As soon as the news spread, all the armies were in an uproar. Uozumi Kagegu, Yamazaki Yoshie and others went down the mountain with a clamor and surrendered to Oda Nobunaga. Asakura Keiken. Asakura Jingjing and other generals gathered their troops to retreat, and the 20,000-strong army turned into nothingness in an instant.

Asakura Yoshikage was also dragged by the rebel army to retreat to Ichijo Valley. Commander Oda drove straight in. It is estimated that he has arrived at Ichijo Valley now and started the siege.

"Why is this happening!" The chief planner in the mountain couldn't think of it.

It was really unexpected, completely beyond his expectation. After all, the Echizen Prefecture Asakura, who had an army of 30,000 men and a family fortune of 250,000 yuan, was defeated at the drop of a hat! In those years when the Asakura clan was killing people and killing Buddhas, the Yamauchi family was still wandering in the mountains of Shinano. When Asakura's army invaded Jiangnan and supported the general, the Yamauchi family was just a rural tycoon.

How come the Asakura clan, a powerful and powerful daimyo known to everyone in the world, is so good!

In the Anegawa battle, 15,000 men defeated the Mikawa army of 5,000. If the Mikawa army was united, endured hardships, and could fight hand-to-hand, the defeat of the Asakura army was not too unjust. Six thousand people on the west coast of Biwa Island were targeted by Nobunaga's 20,000 people. It was normal for them to lose.

How could it be that when we arrived at Tomonezaka, 20,000 people were so unbearable against the 30,000 Oda army that had been patchworked together! There are actually people who surrender to the enemy on the battlefield! Isn’t this just the seller seeking glory?

"The defeat was too fast! Too fast! It was really too fast!" Uncle Tsuna Liang really couldn't expect it.

"Everyone, this is not the only thing mentioned in Gifu Danmasa's letter!" Although Koheita has long known that Asakura is worse than Asai, no one in the family believes it!

At the beginning, Koheita said it was best to pull in Ishiyama Honganji first, and then pull in other miscellaneous fish. But everyone, including Chief Accountant Yamauchi, and even the judges thought that the Asakura family was the most reliable because they had always been weak.

Asakura Sotechi's reputation spread from the Eastern Kingdom to the Western Kingdom, and he was called the "God of War" by everyone! In the battle of Kowloon Tau Chuan, an army of 300,000 troops was destroyed, which is truly unparalleled in ancient and modern times!

As a result, Asakura Yoshikage was beaten to the doorstep by Oda Nobunaga. Only then did he realize that the Asakura family has a younger brother. What's the use?

"Gifu Dan is about to send five thousand troops to Nagashima to help!" Xiaoheita no longer has the heart to pursue anything further and discuss what was right and wrong in the first place. Dealing with Oda Nobunaga is the most important thing now.

Yes, that's right! Nobunaga not only came over to show off his great victory in Echizen, but he was about to press Asakura Yoshikage to death. He also sent a request for reinforcements in the name of the shogunate, asking the Yamauchi clan to send five thousand land and sea troops to help Owari Beishi's soldiers who had not yet finished packing up to surround Nagashima.

It’s really Chi Guo Guo!

You guys, Yamauchi, weigh yourselves. I will kill Asakura immediately and I will no longer be attacked from both sides. A hundred thousand troops can be gathered in a matter of seconds. Should you follow me or follow a dying shogunate?

"Aren't you afraid of Gifu Tansei..." Hosokawa Harimei didn't understand Nobunaga's operations very well.

The current situation is here to provoke the Yamauchi family, who are clearly facing deepening estrangement and contradictions, to respond to his call and go to Nagashima to suppress them.

Isn't this equivalent to putting the Yamauchi family directly into the hinterland of Owari?

I wonder if Nobunaga is big-hearted! Or do you have a big heart?

"Brother-in-law, have you ever thought about what time it is now?" Koheta put down the letter, and Isshiki Yoshiyu and Yamauchi Yoshiho, who were sitting behind, read it together.

"It's the fifth day of the seventh month in the fourth year of Gengui!" Hosokawa Kainyu was stunned.

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant! Who rules the world now?"

"Of course it is His Highness Makishima who governs the world!"

"That's it! Now that His Highness Kōkata is ruling the world, it is natural that Gifu Tansho is the shogunate who is in charge of ruling the world! Now that the shogunate's authority is in hand, he will not obey orders! Whether Yamauchi obeys or not, it is not a good outcome!"

"Is it unreasonable for Yamauchi not to send troops?" Hosokawa Harimei has obviously turned a corner.

"Yes! Gifu Danzheng is now asking us to suppress the riots in Owari out of the righteousness of the shogunate!"

Five thousand people went to Owari. Among the tens of thousands of Oda Nobunaga's troops deep inside, neither the front nor the rear were led by themselves, and Nagashima was not a 100% ally. Without support and limited supplies of troops, it is almost a dead end.

If five thousand people don’t go! very good! Your Yamauchi family is indeed not a good person! Disrespect the shogunate's edict! He is also a rebellious traitor who is worse than a pig or a dog!

Take your pick!

It’s up to you!

I, Oda Nobunaga, will be free immediately. Once your Yamauchi family has prepared the food and gathered the troops, Asakura will be finished here.

While I am still in control of the justice of the world, I would like to ask you, the Yamauchi family, to issue a subjugation order. You, Ashikaga Yoshinori, let alone winning or losing, you are a "thief" from the moment you raise an army!

Or better yet, your Yamauchi family is plunged into chaos and doubt! I, Oda Nobunaga, didn’t even need to look back at Owari, Shibata Katsuie lost and lost, and I only lost one or two thousand of more than 20,000 people. Owari is my hometown again, and the people are very friendly. Can you penetrate my country in three to five days?

Beautiful thought!

Just give me time to meet with the ragtag group of three good people and three good people. As long as the three good people and three people collapse, no one in this prefecture will be qualified to come out to stir up trouble!

At most, he would be a local thief, which is disgusting and disgusting!

"It's true! It's true! It's true!..." Chief Yamauchi said with anger.

It is clear that the Yamauchi family is the direct descendant of the Genji family and is the most popular in the world, but Oda Nobunaga used the empty shell of the shogunate to hold them hostage! If you can't advance or retreat, you still have to look at Oda Nobunaga's face and be threatened by Oda Nobunaga.

"His Royal Highness Makishima must make the decision!" Koheta couldn't stand it anymore, wondering whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki should do this or not.

Now Asakura Yoshikage is about to attack the street. Nobunaga has liberated more than 20,000 people at once. It will be difficult for the Yamauchi family and the Uesugi family to deal with it. Not to mention what will happen after he flattens the three good people, I don't dare to think about it.

"That's right! If His Highness Kōkō doesn't make a decision, Yamauchi will be controlled by others sooner or later!" Hosokawa Saime was the first to stand up in support.

"There is no news from the palace yet!"

"No!"

"Then it's up to me, an old man, to go there in person! I'll teach you to make a decision!" Chief Yamauchi stood up with his legs crossed and immediately bid farewell to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
