Niwa Nagahide was relieved and smiled.
"The hall is wise."
Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I won't fall out with the Sibo family."
As he spoke, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but think of Shiba Yoshigan. He couldn't help but take a breath and pull his mouth as if he was swallowing saliva.
"Send someone to send a letter to Asakura Kageki, saying that I respect Tsuta-don's character and will not attack Tsuruga Port. But if she can't keep her peace, don't blame me for being ruthless.
After this battle, the shogunate decided the ownership of Tsuruga County, allowing her to take care of herself.
In addition, I have sent someone to pass the news of the invasion of Kinome Pass to Akechi Mitsuhide. She should come over soon to intercede for Asakura Kageki. "
Just as he was talking, the news of Akechi Mitsuhide's request to come in happened to be transmitted to the main formation, and Oda Nobunaga smiled proudly at Niwa Nagahide.
Everything is under control.
———
After receiving the news that the Oda family broke into Meki Pass, Akechi Mitsuhide knew that it was time for him to appear, so he took the initiative to come to Oda Nobunaga's main camp, and it happened that Niwa Nagahide was also there.
After the three people greeted each other, Oda Nobunaga asked in a false tone.
"Why is Akechi Ji here? The battle is progressing very smoothly. You can wait for the good news of our army's victory with peace of mind.
I am busy with military affairs now, so I don't have much time to chat with you. After I subdue Asakura Yoshikage, who provoked the shogunate, we will have plenty of time to talk slowly. "
Akechi Mitsuhide faced the aggressive Oda Nobunaga, but he looked calm and composed and said with a smile.
"His Majesty Oda has the courage to do his job and is willing to take the initiative to help the shogunate solve its problems. He is truly a blessing to the world.
Asakura Yoshikage disobeyed the general's orders and refused to go to Luo three times. He also made rude remarks and sow discord between the general and His Highness Oda. This is really unforgivable.
However, the appointment of Asakura Kageki, the governor of Tsuruga, was an imperial order issued by the ancestors from Kyoto. She was the governor of Tsuruga recognized by the shogunate.
The foreign minister implores His Highness Oda to be careful in distinguishing between loyal and traitorous people and not to let the war affect innocent people. "
What Akechi Mitsuhide said makes sense.
After Asakura Soutei's death, Asakura Yoshikage asked Asakura Keiki several times to go to Ichijodani Castle, hoping to take the opportunity to kidnap her and seize Tsuruga County, but Asakura Keiki, who remembered his mother's last words, refused.
Asakura Yoshikage's coolness has long been seen through by Asakura Sodi. That's why she fought for Shiba Yigen before she died, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, blessings and Asakura Kageki.
Asakura Keiki is staying in Tsuruga County and is not just waiting for death. Behind her, Yoshihiro Shiba has been thinking of ways to move to support her in securing her position of power.
Yoshihiro Shiba gave her a lot of benefits from the Hokuriku Road trade route so that she could have enough chips to buy off the Tsuruga people. At the same time, he begged Ashikaga Yoshiteru of the shogunate to recognize her as the Tsuruga governor.
The position of prefecture chief actually belongs to the official system of the emperor's court. Since the third generation of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu massacred the emperor's court, only the samurai family of the three clans had this dignity and were called the three governors.
The Sheriff of the Asakura family was actually a fig leaf for the Asakura family to talk to themselves after they overpowered the superiors and drove away the guardians of the Shiba family.
There was a rebellion in Tsuruga County. After Asakura Soteti put down the rebellion, the Asakura family governor asked her to guard Tsuruga County in the name of Tsuruga County Secretary.
Now, Yoshigan Shiba, the legitimate son of the Shiba Mune family, is begging the shogunate to recognize the Tsuruga governor who is of Asakura Sotechi's lineage.
Although the official position was slightly abrupt, Ashikaga Yoshiteru still gave Yoshigami Shiba face and recognized Asakura Kageki's right to rule Tsuruga County.
Asakura Kageki is backed by Shiba Yiyin, with one hand of business profits and another hand of fame, he is almost impeccable. Asakura Yoshikage had no choice but to regain Tsuruga County's heart and acquiesced to Asakura Kage's semi-independent status.
Now, Oda Nobunaga started a war on the grounds that Asakura Yoshikage disrespected the shogunate. Akechi Mitsuhide used the name given by his ancestor Ashikaga Yoshiteru to intercede for Asakura Keiki, which was not rude.
What Oda Nobunaga wants to attack is Asakura Yoshikage, who disrespects the shogunate. What does this have to do with Asakura Kageki, the Tsuruga governor who is loyal to the shogunate?
This is the truth, but if reasoning is effective, why do the Wu family still need swords and guns?
Oda Nobunaga just said coldly to Akechi Mitsuhide's defense.
"Since Asakura Kageki has a clear conscience, why did she not follow me to attack Asakura Yoshikage when I came with the heavenly soldiers, but instead resisted the heavenly soldiers? Who knows if they are colluding?
Whether Asakura Kageki is loyal or traitorous needs to be carefully investigated.
However, don’t worry, Akechiji, I will never wrongly accuse a good person, but I will also not let a bad person go. "
Oda Nobunaga's words were very shameless. It was clear that Oda's army was raiding Tsuruga County, burning, killing and looting. How could the Tsuruga people not resist?
Asakura Yoshikage led troops to rescue him, but Oda Nobunaga insisted on saying that Asakura Kageki was suspected of being a thief, which was really shameless.
But the Oda family is so powerful and their principles are all in their fists, what can Akechi Mitsuhide say?
She could only laugh.
"What His Highness Oda said is that it would be more appropriate for Asakura Kageki-sama to explain this matter himself, so that there will be no further misunderstandings."
Oda Nobunaga made it clear that he wanted to use Asakura Kageki as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the Shiba family.
Akechi Mitsuhide could only nod in agreement with Oda Nobunaga's statement, but she had to ensure that Asakura Kageki's life was not in danger.
Asakura Kageki cannot die, this is Akechi Mitsuhide's bottom line, otherwise Spurs won't be able to explain to Spurs Yoshino in recent years.
Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide's submission, Oda Nobunaga said with satisfaction.
"As long as Asakura Kageki doesn't take the initiative to provoke, I will naturally give her a chance to explain and will not attack Tsuruga Port for the time being.
I heard that she seems to be unmarried? "
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know why Oda Nobunaga suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded.
"Indeed."
Oda Nobunaga's smile remained the same, but his eyes were a little cold.
"What do you think these people are thinking about? How can their family business continue if they don't know how to marry and have children when they become adults?
Speaking of which, the Tsuruga Asakura family is considered a famous family. Can the dignified family governor not find a man? What I hate the most is this kind of selfish warrior Ji who only cares about his own happiness.
This man has no father, no mother, no husband, no daughter, no care and no worries. You said, how can the superiors use them with peace of mind? It’s scary to think about it.
The best Ji warrior is one who has a family, a job, and a lot of debt, so he will be careful and cautious in doing things and work hard without complaining.
Those are good Ji warriors that the Lord can use with peace of mind, and they are the backbone of the social stability of the Wu family. Do you think this is true?
I heard that most of the important officials of the Sibo family are also unmarried? Even though he is very old, he understands everyone and does things without any scruples. I can't help but worry about Tsudoden.
What did Tsudaden think? Will he be able to sleep at night if he uses these martial artists to maintain his family business? "
Akechi Mitsuru's face was still smiling, but there was a glint in his eyes.
Oda Nobunaga finally couldn't bear it any longer. She criticized Asakura Kageki and was referring to those restless samurai from the Shiba family who wanted to marry into the family.
Thinking that Oda Nobunaga and No-kun had not slept with each other for a long time, and seeing Oda Nobunaga's righteous and awe-inspiring look at this time, with the palace as deep as Akechi Mitsuhide, I almost couldn't help but laugh.
I really have sand in my eyes and I don’t like anyone else. Oda Nobunaga's thoughts are really easy to understand.
The gossip about the unmarried ministers of Shiba was circulating in Kyoto during the lifetime of Susuki Yoshiteru, and it was very unpleasant to hear.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru deliberately suppressed the nearby Shiba leader, and he wanted to let these cowardly and cowardly warriors know the importance of dignity and not to eat the flesh of a swan.
The heroic swordsman general and the majestic strong-willed public died tragically in Nijo Castle. A large part of the reason was the backlash from Shiba's ministers.
There really is nothing new in this world.
Now it's Oda Nobunaga's turn to be in power. The same recipe, the same taste, and the same warning to Shiba Shigeomi who refuses to marry, but I don't know how her future end will be compared to Ashikaga Yoshiteru?
Just as Akechi Mitsuhide was about to reply, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Oda Nobunaga frowned and shouted.
"Who is making a noise outside!"
Mori Ranmaru hurriedly walked into the formation, bowed and apologized.
"Really sorry.
In the main hall, three Ji warriors came outside to deliver something to you on behalf of His Highness the City Lord.
But they refused to give the things to me to convey to me no matter what. They had to hand them over to you personally, saying that this was an order from His Highness the Lord of the City. "
Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.
"Let them in."
Mori Ranmaru bowed and went out, and soon he brought in three Ji Samurai, all of whom were tired from work and saw that they had traveled day and night.
The three of them came in and bowed. Oda Nobunaga stared at the leader and asked.
"Are you A Liang? What did Ichi-kun ask you to give me?"
A Liang carefully took out the small bean bag from his arms, bowed forward and presented it to Oda Nobunaga.
"The Lord ordered the three of me to come quickly and offer this little bean bag to the main hall."
Oda Nobunaga took the small bean bag in confusion and couldn't see the meaning, so he asked.
"What does it mean?"
Aliang answered respectfully.
"The Lord said that he picked the summer beans by himself. They are very fresh. He would like to invite the main hall to taste them."
Oda Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, then became furious and cursed.
"Nonsense! I thought there was something big going on. Is this trivial matter worthy of sending three Ji warriors to rush into battle?
Ichi-kun is getting more and more arrogant! I am becoming more and more ignorant! "
A Liang and the other three beauties kowtowed to the ground, but they did not dare to speak in the face of Oda Nobunaga's thunderous anger.
Akechi Mitsuhide on the side looked at the small bean bag in Oda Nobunaga's hand, but seemed to be interested, bowed and said.
"Your Highness Oda, this little bean bag is very interesting. Can you allow me to take a look?"
Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he threw the small bean bag to Akechi Mitsuhide, still mumbling dissatisfaction.
"I know how to do these inexplicable things all day long. I don't know how to give birth to an heir for the Asai family earlier and stabilize the friendship between the two families. Let's see how I deal with him when I go back."
Oda Nobunaga was beating up Akechi Mitsuhide, and he couldn't help but have the hope in his heart that he would take the opportunity to observe her, subdue her, and prepare for the future of sleeping with Shiba Yoshigan and taking over the Shiba family.
But Ichijun's things happened to be delivered at this time, which made her a little confused.
Ichi-kun and No-kun have a deep relationship, and they are as shameless as Oda Nobunaga. A widow who plots against her husband, No-kun, behind his back, would feel guilty as if he had been caught in an act of rape.
When she was so upset, she didn't realize the profound meaning behind the mayor's willful behavior and the little bean bag.
Perhaps out of self-confidence, Oda Nobunaga helped Asai Nagamasa completely control the three prefectures, and then conspired together to kill Todo Toradaka. Oda Nobunaga was completely unaware that the Asai family might betray him.
Akechi Mitsuhide stared at the small bean bag in his hand and laughed when he saw the mouth of the bag tightly tied at both ends.
"This bag is really interesting. It is open at both ends and stuck at both ends."
Maybe Akechi Mitsuhide smiled too deliberately. Oda Nobunaga and Niwa Nagahide looked at the bean bag at the same time, their faces condensed.
Oda Nobunaga turned to look at Sanhime who was kneeling and asked.
"A Liang, did Mr. City ask you to bring me anything?"
A Liang shook his head.
"My lord, no.
It's just that the inner courtyard has been uneasy recently. The Lord just executed two servants for stealing.
The gift this time was also an impromptu decision of the Lord. Before setting off, I told you many times that I must hand over the small bean bag to you and not give it to anyone else. "
A Liang is the samurai warrior who is married to the city king. He sees many things with his eyes and understands the inside story to some extent. But she couldn't say this casually.
The Oda Asai family are both in-laws, allies, and close comrades who went to Luo together.
Asai Hisamasa was not afraid that Ichikun would send something, and he only checked the letters. He was confident that Oda Nobunaga would not be suspicious of the Asai family, so there was no harm in sending something.
The mayor could say that the Asai family had betrayed him, but he couldn't write a letter and could only rely on small bean bags to hint.
And who is A Liang? She has a low status and is not qualified to say such things.
Even if these words came out of her mouth, Oda Nobunaga would have a hard time believing it, it might as well be this ambiguous little bean bag.
At this time, after listening to A Liang's hint, Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand towards Akechi Mitsuhide with a cold face, and Akechi Mitsuhide respectfully offered the small bean bag with both hands.
After shaking the small bean bag in his hand, Oda Nobunaga felt it was very heavy.
Will Asai Nagamasa really betray him? Is it possible that Ichi-kun, a guy who is not familiar with martial arts politics, made a mistake?
Oda Nobunaga's eyes turned to Niwa Nagahide, who said solemnly.
“Main Hall, our army’s logistics supplies have to start from Minami Omi and pass through Kitanomi Takashima County and Wakasa Country, which is already a long time.
If something really changes in Kitaomi, these 30,000 troops will be left alone. . Just afraid. . "
The Nosaka Mountain Range and the Ibuki Mountain Range in the northern part of Omi Province intersect at the Aifa Pass, dividing the inner and outer areas of the pass. The coastline of Wakasa Province and Tsuruga County hangs outside the pass, and there is very little room for maneuver.
If the retreat of Oda's army is cut off, even if the ground is scraped three feet away, it will not be able to support the logistical support of the 30,000-strong army.
If the Asakura Asai family blocks the front and rear passes, and waits until Oda's army is exhausted before attacking from the north and south, the army that lacks food and armaments may even collapse in an instant.
Oda Nobunaga dared to attack beyond the Asai family's territory because he believed that Asai Nagamasa, his sibling, was trustworthy. But now, her brother has sent a message to hint that her siblings are unreliable.
Oda Nobunaga took a deep breath and his expression turned cold. She pretended to be calm, glanced at the calm Akechi Mitsuhide next to her, and said to A Liang in a deep voice.
"The three of you will go down and rest for the night. You will return to Xiaodani City tomorrow and tell the mayor that I have received the things."
