The hindrance factors of the tributary hills are equal to the Imagawa family and the Oda family.
If Oda Nobunaga's previous idea of a sudden attack was to take a gamble in the dark, then Maeda Toshiie's strategy was to add a beacon to guide her.
Maeda Toshiie kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Once you start taking action, the Shiba family will attack to the death and kill Imagawa Yoshimoto."
Imagawa's army was so huge that even if they won a few small victories, they would not be able to shake the army. But once Imagawa Yoshimoto is killed, the situation will be completely different.
Imagawa Yoshimoto has been in power for many years and has extremely high prestige, able to suppress all forces in the Imagawa family.
If she dies, the army she brought together will surely fall apart. There will inevitably be a headache for all samurai families in Imagawa, the transfer of power.
The Wu family has to go through a reshuffle every time the governor dies, and it takes several twists and turns to regain the balance of power.
In this way, each family will definitely rush back to the country with the intention of taking the upper hand, and Owari will overcome the difficulty.
Oda Nobunaga once again took a deep look at Maeda Toshiie and said.
"Inuchiyo, come back. The position of the mother-in-law's pen is still yours. I still say what I said, when I win the world, you will know and do millions of stones."
Maeda Toshiie sat down on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Lijia has let you down. I'm really sorry!"
Oda Nobunaga raised his head and took a long breath and said.
"Do what you want, I will have a good few days in Qingzhou City. There are too many things going on these days and my brain hurts, so take a good rest for a few days.
It’s just a good time for people to see me at the end of my rope, and also for me to see what some people will do when I’m at the end of my rope. "
As he spoke, he laughed with a cold expression.
Mikawa Province is bounded by Owari Province to the west, Ene Province to the east, and the Mikawa Highlands to the north connects Mino and Shinano, with a stone height of 290,000 koku.
Three rivers connect the four countries, so the strategy is extremely important.
Although Mikawa Highlands is not suitable for large army movements, it reduces the prying eyes of Mino and Shinano. But Owari Enjie from east to west is still a great threat.
The northern plateau of Mikawa is not suitable for survival, and the southern part not only has vast plains, but also Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay, which are rich in seafood.
South. The Yahagi River Basin on the west connects the Noo Plain of Owari to the Okazaki Plain of Mikawa, and the Toyokawa Basin on the east forms the Toyohashi Plain.
The two plains have fertile land and numerous villages, gradually forming a pattern of three rivers in the east and west.
Mikawa Country is an important town on the Tokaido Road, and the Ashikaga Shogunate sent its relatives, the Kira family, to protect the country.
Later, the Kira family declined, Higashi Mikawa was taken over by the Imagawa family, and Nishi Mikawa was unified by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, who lived in Okazaki Castle.
Nobuhide, the mother of Oda Nobunaga, once confronted Matsudaira Kiyoyasu. Both sides fought with Owari and Nishi Mikawa's military strength, and there was no winner.
Later, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu passed away. His daughter Matsudaira Hirotada was no match for Oda Nobuhide, so she had no choice but to ask for help from the Imagawa family.
The Imagawa family held Suruga, two countries far away from the river, and half a country with three rivers. Only Oda Nobuhide of the Shimo-Owari four counties was not strong enough and retreated with hatred.
At that time, Matsudaira Motoyasu was still a child. He was first taken hostage by the Oda family, and then was negotiated and given to the Imagawa family. His childhood was miserable.
Matsudaira Hirotada continued to rule Nishi Mikawa after surrendering to the Imagawa family. It was not until his death that Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was raised by the Imagawa family, came back to succeed the family governor and rule in Nishi Mikawa.
This time Imagawa Yoshimoto led the army to march eastward. Matsudaira Motoyasu had already mobilized the Nishi Mikawa army and was waiting respectfully at Okazaki Castle.
Imagawa Yoshimoto was marching on horseback and was approaching Okazaki Castle.
Although she has always shown herself to be good at domestic affairs, she is actually a Ji warrior who is skilled in bow and horse, and is no problem in marching and fighting.
"Is Okazaki Castle ahead?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Ten miles ahead is Okazaki Castle, and Lord Matsudaira is already waiting in line outside."
Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded, stopped talking, and waved his hand to signal departure.
Matsudaira Motoyasu had been waiting for a long time, waiting until the sun was three o'clock in the morning, and saw the sun moving westward.
The warrior Ji under his command has been waiting impatiently for a long time. Samurai Mikawahime is famous for her loyalty and bravery, but she does have a bad temper.
A girl was already sitting on the ground regardless of her posture, fanning the wind with her hands.
"His Majesty Imagawa is really slow. I should have known he would come back in the afternoon."
This man behaved rudely. Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't say anything. He just glanced at him and saw that the veteran beside him had already begun to curse.
"Hingba Niang, you bastard, get up quickly! Your Majesty, I am not strict in discipline, please punish me, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
The person who spoke was called Honda Doji, and he was a third-generation veteran of the Matsudaira family. The pretty girl sitting on the ground is the junior of her family, Tadakatsu Honda who just entered the Yuan server.
The Hon's family is the Matsudaira family member who has been loyal to the family for generations. Honda Tadakatsu's mother Tadaka also died in battle for his family.
These Mikawa Princess warriors were loyal and brave, but a little naive. Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head and said forget it.
Although she is the daughter of Matsudaira Hirotada, she has been a hostage for many years and has not long returned. Some disrespectful things can only be ignored.
Besides, how could she have the intention to teach her subordinates a lesson at this moment? The beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old had a sad look on her face.
This time, Imagawa Kamiluo said that he was coming to Beijing to help the shogunate fight against the Miyoshi family, but unfortunately no one believed it.
No one is a fool.
The Imagawa family took advantage of the fact that the shogunate had no time to visit eastward and insisted on going to Luo. That was coming for Owari Country, but Nishi Mikawa might not be able to stay out of it.
Nishi Mikawa has surrendered to the Imagawa family for many years. This time Imagawa Yoshimoto ordered Matsudaira Motoyasu to mobilize. She always had an ominous premonition and couldn't tell what was wrong.
"I'm coming!"
Seeing the team from a distance, Matsudaira Motoyasu stopped thinking and came forward with several family members to see them.
"Your Highness is well."
"Isn't this Motoyasu? We haven't seen you for a while, and you have grown taller. Father was talking about you a few days ago."
Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke gently on the horse, and Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded gratefully.
"The ancestor is worried. Motoyasu will go to Suruga to meet his old man when he has time."
Matsudaira Motoyasu stayed in the Imagawa family for many years. In order to win over Nishi Mikawa's people, Imagawa Yoshimoto gave her quasi-family treatment.
Imagawa Yoshimoto looked up at the city not far away and asked.
"Is this Okazaki Castle?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Not bad, not bad. I'm tired from the march. Have you prepared a place for me to stay?"
Matsudaira Motoyasu was stunned, this army is traveling, don't you live in the army? Do you want to live? . Sweat oozed from behind.
"I will go back to clean up the Okazaki Castle castle tower and invite His Highness to move in."
Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and said sheepishly.
"Is that appropriate? Then where will you live?"
"It's suitable. It's very suitable. Your Highness doesn't know that I have already mobilized my army and am living in the Sanhe Military Camp."
Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and said.
"Then I won't be polite."
Matsudaira Motoyasu respectfully accompanied him and said a few more words before leaving to do some business.
Looking at her retreating back, Imagawa Yoshimoto's smile gradually faded.
"Kawade Tsunori, lead your troops into Okazaki Castle and replace the city's defenses. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Okabe Motonobu, lead my troops to keep an eye on Mikawa's army. If there is any abnormal movement, mobilize the Suruga people to destroy it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The Imagawa family has been raising the Nishi-Mikawa Matsudaira family for many years, and it's finally time for them to grow old.
This time, more than 20,000 troops came to the Imagawa family, but Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't recognize them. .
The entire Xisanhe has more than 100,000 stones. The total number of men, women, old and children in the Wu family is not known to be 5,000.
One knife per person is enough to kill four times.
