Shibata Katsuie took a breath.
Oda Nobunaga was planning to use the Tokugawa family to consume the Takeda family first. After the Tokugawa family's territory was almost destroyed, he would slowly go over to pick peaches.
Mikawa Enie Ryogoku has developed very well in recent years under the management of Tokugawa Ieyasu. On the contrary, the Oda family has been fighting in recent times, and large-scale rebellions and riots often occur in the territory.
Under the circumstances, Oda Nobunaga began to be wary of Tokugawa Ieyasu's increasing strength. This time she wanted to use Takeda Shingen to destroy the Tokugawa family's territory, weaken the Tokugawa family, and then send troops to assist.
Shibata Katsuie nodded, and there was nothing wrong with doing so.
She was not a Tokugawa retainer, so there was no need to think too much about Tokugawa Ieyasu. So what if Oda Nobunaga cheated on Tokugawa Ieyasu? In the troubled times and the Warring States Period, it was all about cheating and cheating, and the friendship between allies was nothing more than words and swords.
From the perspective of the Oda family, the alliance between the Oda and Tokugawa families is worth maintaining. But the strength of the Tokugawa family must be weaker than that of the Oda family, and it would be most advantageous for Tokugawa Ieyasu to be willing to be the little sister of the Oda family.
Seeing that Shibata Katsuie stopped talking, Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly. Her strategic vision was higher and broader than Shibata Katsuie imagined.
Before Takeda Shingen could mobilize, the exact information about Takeda Kamiro reached Tokugawa Ieyasu's desk. Tokugawa Ieyasu sent it to Oda Nobunaga without any doubts, and he was not worried at all that the information was false.
You know, if the intelligence is wrong and the Oda and Tokugawa families are mobilized in advance, how much food will be wasted?
If Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to do this, he must be very confident about the authenticity of the information, so this matter is interesting.
There are powerful people in Kanto who want to see Takeda Shingen in bad luck, and may even use Takeda Kamuluo to stab Takeda Shingen in the back.
That's why he didn't shy away from the Takeda family's future revenge and took the initiative to leak secrets to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
You must know that Tokugawa Ieyasu has no obligation to keep the source of information secret for the leaker. The person behind the leak may be betrayed by Tokugawa Ieyasu at any time, and Takeda Shingen's revenge will be directed at her at any time.
Who doesn't care about the powerful Takeda family's revenge afterwards? Or, in other words, who is planning to take action when Takeda Shingen goes to Luo?
Oda Nobunaga had no intention of taking advantage of others' fire. The best situation for her was that Tokugawa Ieyasu was severely wounded by Takeda Shingen, and Takeda Shingen returned to Kanto to find trouble with the leaker.
As for Oda Nobunaga herself, she wants to be the oriole hiding behind the mantis stalking the cicada.
Oda Nobunaga was determined to conquer the world, so he would not let go of the land of Kanto. But now she has not torn apart Nobunaga's siege network. There are so many troubles and she has no time to pay attention to Kanto for the time being.
If Takeda Shingen is plotted by the Kanto daimyo, then put the Kai tiger back, incite the Kanto people to kill the Kanto people, wait for the Oda family to recover, and then push it over with all their strength.
If Takeda Kamiro takes the initiative to provoke, then the Oda family won't even need to find a reason to counterattack in the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
The militaristic Oda Nobunaga now needs to go to Mount Hiei to force Lord Kakushu to provide military expenses, and then go north to kill Asai Nagamasa, who has been weakened to the extreme, and then plan the follow-up.
The reasons for dealing with Master Kyoshu and Asai Nagamasa are very good, and Shiba Yiyin has nothing to say. They were the ones who made the first move, and they couldn't blame Oda Nobunaga for counterattacking.
Oda Nobunaga had a beautiful thought. Although she didn't know that the leaker behind the scenes was Uesugi Teruatora, she saw through Uesugi Teruatora's intentions.
The Oda family would not confront the Takeda family head-on, giving Takeda Shingen enough strength to go back and cause trouble for Uesugi Teruhu.
The best strategy is to divert the disaster to the east.
Oda Nobunaga prided herself on being an oriole, but she didn't know how much trouble her idea of besieging Mount Hiei again to ask for military funds would bring to herself.
Because there is also a yellow bird behind her, staring at her, trying to use her to fulfill his long-cherished wish for revenge.
———
Late winter and early spring come together, the earth gradually warms up, and everything begins to recover.
Kyoto, Honnōji Temple.
Honnōji Higen, who was sitting in the Buddhist hall with her eyes closed and playing her rosary, suddenly stopped her movements and opened her eyes to look at the two people in front of her.
"Your Highness Oda is going to Luo again? Isn't she planning to attack Nagashima in the spring? Why did she change her mind and come to Kyoto?"
One person bowed and said.
"We are not coming to Kyoto. We are mobilizing the Oda troops who have been committing evil in Minami Omi to go to Mitsuidera and Sakamoto Castle to besiege Mount Hiei again."
Honnōji Hingen's expression gradually became serious.
"What does she want to do again?"
Another man bowed and said.
"I heard that the Oda family's finances are in very bad shape. After all, the Oda army is an enemy of all the Daimyos in recent times. They use troops everywhere, which consumes a lot of money."
Honnoji Hingen nodded.
"I see."
The Oda Army of Minami Omi are immigrants from Owari. They don't care what the Omi family thinks of them, they just want to get more benefits in the land of Minami Omi.
The ancients had a deep love for their country, and the Oda army's massacre of people and land in Minami Omi made the locals in Omi and even nearby countries very disgusted. However, the power of the Oda family was so strong that everyone could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
This time, Oda Nobunaga wanted to mobilize the infamous Owari Oda Army to go to the Sakamoto area in order to intimidate the Tendai Sect and ask for more military expenses.
The Mitsui-dera Sakamoto Town line is not only the business center of Omi Temple, but also many nunnery houses from Mount Hiei are built here.
Oda Nobunaga was very good at driving out the local nuns, besieging Mount Hiei, intimidating the Lord Kakushu to the maximum extent, and plundering the wealth of Mount Hiei.
Seeing the Tendai Sect's misfortune, Honnōji Nichigen of the Nichiren Sect was naturally happy to see it. But if that's all there is, it's still far from enough.
The Nichiren Sect wasted no time in killing the nuns and followers at the sword of Enryakuji Temple Master Sanmon. The Nichiren Sect's destroyed Sanmon Temple must be repaid with blood and burning!
Honnōji Hingen glanced at the two people who were respectfully waiting for instructions, and smiled slightly.
Although Oda Nobunaga relied on the power of Nichiren sect believers to establish the iron cannon workshop and create the new policy of Rakuza Rakuza, she was always wary of the Nichiren sect and was careful not to be taken advantage of by the Nichiren sect.
Honnoji Nichigen's heart was inevitably filled with resentment.
It was Oda Nobunaga who persuaded her to seek help, instigating her to take revenge on the Ichiko Sect and the Tendai Sect and repay the blood debt.
However, after receiving the help of the Nichiren Sect, Oda Nobunaga refused to accept the blame and was unwilling to make the decision for the Nichiren Sect. He completely regarded Honnōji Nichigen as the enemy.
As a samurai daimyo, Oda Nobunaga's actions are understandable. But for Honnoji Nichigen, this was an unfaithful betrayal.
From the first time the Oda family came to Luo, Honnoji Nichigen asked people to raise the Buddhist flag, which tested Oda Nobunaga's careful thinking of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. However, the Oda family really needed the help of the Nichiren Sect.
Because the iron cannons needed maintenance, there were a large number of Nichiren sect believers in the Oda army serving the army.
Because Rakuza needs the support of the townspeople, there are a large number of Nichiren believers in Oda Castle Town who serve the policies of the Oda family.
Oda Nobunaga not only wanted the support of Nichiren sect, but also wanted to guard against Nichiren sect's desire, and also wanted Nichiren sect to continue to pay for her and be used by her.
Oda Nobunaga really took advantage of all the advantages in the world! But is there such a good thing in this world?
The two people in front of Honnoji Hingen were from the Oda family's army and the castle town. She had been paying attention to Oda Nobunaga's every move from a grassroots perspective, waiting for the opportunity to take action.
The Nanman Sect took advantage of Oda Miyoshi's battle and borrowed a few iron cannons to ignite an all-out war between the Oda family and the Ichigo Sect.
Why couldn't the Nichiren Sect force Oda Nobunaga to completely break with the Tendai Sect when he besieged Mount Hiei?
The opportunity is here!
Oda Nobunaga just wanted to intimidate Lord Kakushu and force him to ask for military expenses. But the army is a ferocious beast, and there are always times when it becomes wild and untamed.
All it takes is a little conflict, creating bloodshed between the Oda Army and the Yama Master, to make the stalemate surrounding Mount Hiei spiral out of control.
The Nichiren Sect has people in the Oda Army, and Honnoji Nichigen believes in those believers, and they will be willing to die for the Nichiren Sect.
Once a bloody conflict breaks out between the Oda Army and Mount Hiei, the tough Oda Nobunaga will not be able to give in to the Tendai Religious Group. In the face of sudden changes, she will only use a tougher attitude to suppress it.
Imagine the burning Mount Hiei, the burning Enryakuji Temple, the burning Nedo Nakado, and the compassionate face of Honnoji Nichigen suddenly distorted.
"Ime, Mino."
"Hi!" X2
"Do you still remember who burned down your village? Do you still remember who drove your parents out and starved to death?"
"It's the Tiantai Sect! It's the Yixiang Sect! It's those demons and heretics who killed our relatives and took away everything from us!"
Honnoji Nichigen's palm tightened and his thumb lifted, the string broke and the rosary scattered on the ground.
"Now, it's time for us to demand repayment of our blood debt from the Tiantai Sect!
Help me, help me cut off the Oda family's escape route, and let Oda Nobunaga fulfill her promise and repay our blood debt! "
"Hi!" x2
Oda Nobunaga never imagined that Honnōji Hingen, who had been abandoned by her for a long time, had been paying attention to her and waiting for this opportunity.
The Oda family would pay a heavy price for this siege of Mount Hiei. After breaking with the Ichikai Sect, they were pushed against the Tendai Sect.
From then on, Oda Nobunaga could only deepen his cooperation with the Nichiren Sect Nanman Sect, and there was no room for maneuver.

Wen Shancheng.
It was cool in early spring, and Yiyin sat on the porch of his residence, looking at the buds on the branches. Behind him, Ii Naomasa was so gentle that he put a coat on him.
"Jin Duo Hall, the spring is very cold, and it turns cold after a sudden warm. Please take care of yourself and don't get cold."
Yiyin turned around and smiled at her, patted her hand and said.
"You are already a big shot in the Tongxin Secretariat, and you have to be busy with so many things every day. Let those two little girls worry about these trivial chores.
Tokusatsu Kamematsu has also been here for a few days and is very familiar with my daily life. From now on, Pu Shengshi Township and you will no longer have to worry about these chores and overuse talents. "
Ii Naomasa glanced at the two new girls behind him. The two sisters kowtowed to her in fear, and then got up to help Yiyin dress and comb.
Seeing their already skilled movements, Ii Naomasa couldn't help but have a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
These things were originally exclusive to her. But as the Tongxin Secretariat gradually got on the right track, she really did not have the energy to take care of both sides and cover everything as before.
It happened that Kitahata Matori came to ask for help, and Yoshigan arranged for her to go to Kofukuji Temple to become a monk, leaving her two children, Tokusatsu Kamematsu, with their minor surnames, to protect her heirs.
For the selfless help of Yoshihiro, Kitahata Tomoko was naturally grateful.
With the two role models of Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa in front of them, many samurai families are eager to give their daughters to Yiyin as a nickname, so that they can have a good future.
But Yoshigami was not used to the days when the Wu family had such peace of mind that little lolita was busy serving him. He preferred to have older beautiful girls like Kamao Clan and Ii Naomasa serve him.
However, with the improvement of their status, even though Kamao Clan and Ii Naomasa are willing to serve the king, they are increasingly distracted by their affairs, and Yoshigan has no choice but to go back to the old way of using lolita.
Tokusatsu Kamematsu was born into a noble family, and her little lolita looks sweet and childish, no less cute than Kamao Ujigo and Ii Naomasa back then.
Yiyin is also happy to train them for a few more years. When they grow up and become beautiful girls, they can enjoy the process of blooming flowers. It is really worth looking forward to.
He didn't notice Ii Naomasa's jealousy at this time and said with a smile.
"Why did you come here so early today?"
Ii Naomasa's tone was sour.
"Can't you come and see your Majesty if you have nothing to do?"
Yiyin was stunned, flicked her forehead with his fingers, walked back to the room and sat down at the main seat, laughing and cursing.
"When did Xiao Nizi learn to talk back? Talk about business!"
Ii Naomasa vented some of her emotions in a joking tone, and then immediately recovered her mood. She knelt down in front of Yiyin and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the Wenzhu Party has been formally established. Sakai Port will also send a copy of the financial records of the past years to the Wenzhu Party for backup and archiving."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"I already know about this. I also heard that you sent a powerful guy to Honda Masanobu, which made her very embarrassed."
Ii Naomasa didn't take it seriously to Yoshiyin's teasing and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, I have done some research.
This Honda Masanobu has a very dirty past, and the experiences provided by Akechi Mitsuhide are very ambiguous and worthy of consideration.
For such an important department, I must be careful not to let such a person monopolize power. I must find a way to ensure her loyalty.
Hansawa Naoyi is very capable, and her performance in the selection and training was the best among the Hime warriors in her class. In particular, her political ideology score was excellent.
I think it's very appropriate to send her to ask questions to assist Honda Masanobu. "
Yiyin shook his head.
"It's just a department that stores financial files. How can it be as important as you say? If Naoyoshi Hanzawa is really as good as you say, wouldn't you delay her future by doing this?
Honda Masanobu may have problems, but she is the one recommended by Akechi Mitsuhide, so there won't be any big problems. No one is perfect. Since you want to use other people's talents, you must tolerate other people's shortcomings.
Zhizheng, if you are always so upright and can't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in your eyes, it will be very difficult in the future.
Your status is no longer low. You must learn to live with the light. Don't always look at the backs of your colleagues and see everyone as a bad person. Do you know how many people say behind your back that you are a cruel official? "
