Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile on his face.
"I understand what Your Highness Oda means. However, I also hope you will allow me to do something."
Oda Nobunaga smiled.
"you say."
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and said.
"The Araki Village of Settsu Province is arrogant and has harassed the south bank of the Yodogawa River with troops many times. As you know, most of the territories on the south bank are allies of the Shiba family, which makes Tsutado-don very unhappy.
Furthermore, Araki Murashige has always been openly loyal to you and secretly self-reliant. His thoughts are unpredictable. Now that the forces on the south bank intend to go north to seek justice, can His Highness Oda support it? "
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi and knew that this guy was bargaining.
Because of Nobunaga's siege, Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to withdraw from Settsu and temporarily abandoned Nishi Konki.
But even though she withdrew, she still left a few nails behind. For example, Settsu Arakimura Shige, Yodo Castle pine trees are evergreen, and Kitakawachi Mibuchi Fujihide.
Matsunagahide guarded the border gate between the two countries at Settsu Mountain Castle. Mibuchi Fujihide was almost abandoned by the Hosokawa Mibuchi family. Only Settsu guarded Araki Murashige, with the greatest power and far-reaching influence.
Yoshigan Shiba has already surrendered Miyoshi Yoshitsugi. If he can defeat Murashige Araki again, the Shiba family will have the final say in the future of Nishi Settsu.
Oda Nobunaga made a request to test the sincerity of Yoshigami Shiba. Akechi Mitsuhide backhandedly asked Oda Nobunaga to give up Araki Murashige, that is, to give up Nishi Konki, and backhandedly tested Oda Nobunaga's sincerity.
You know, Araki Murashige, the guardian of Settsu, was not something Oda Nobunaga was willing to give her.
Araki Murashige himself had the ability, and took advantage of the window period when the Oda family retreated to drive away and kill the people Oda Nobunaga arranged in Settsu Country, so that Oda Nobunaga could only use she.
Now, Akechi Mitsuhide hopes that Oda Nobunaga abandons Araki Murashige, which is no loss to the Oda family, because Araki Murashige was originally disobedient.
However, the consequence of this was that Oda Nobunaga acquiesced in Saba Yoshiyin's unification of Western Konki.
Oda Nobunaga hesitated for a moment, thinking about the bright prospect of the original merger, thinking of Yoshigoshi Shiba's handsome face, and finally licked his lips.
"Okay, I'll send someone to follow you and bring Takeda Shiono back first.
As for Araki Murashige, the samurai family on the south bank of the Yodogawa River wants to seek justice from her, but I don't care about that. "
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled sincerely.
“Your Highness is a great righteousness, and I admire you Akechi Mitsuhide.
I will go to Tamon Mountain Castle immediately and persuade Tsutado-dono to hand over the Takeda hostess to your envoy for your disposal. "
Although the Shiba family watched helplessly as Oda Nobunaga grew bigger, pulled out all the nails and became a three-million-koku daimyo, with the potential to sweep the world.
But as long as Oda Nobunaga is willing to expel Ashikaga Yoshiaki and overthrow the Ashikaga shogunate, then these costs will be worth it.
Especially when Oda Nobunaga gave up on Araki Murashige and took over the entire Nishi Konki, the Shiba family was not without backhand power.
As long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki gets out, Yoshigan Shiba will naturally hold high the flag of justice and become the savior of the traditional samurai family. At that time, the Shiba Oda family can start another game and take their time.
As for the Takeda hostess, Akechi Mitsuhide never paid attention to it, it was just a trivial matter.
———
Duowen Mountain City is home to the castle keeper.
After spring sleep, Yiyin felt that he was getting more and more lethargic, and there was a sense of laziness in his bones.
The sliding door of the corridor was already wide open, and the sunlight was shining on the tatami. Yoshigami slowly stood up and looked at the courtyard outside in a trance, not yet fully awake.
Next to him, Tokusatsu Kamesong tiptoed to prepare hot water, wrung out the face towel, and carefully wiped Yiyin's face.
The refreshing and warm friction on the face, as well as the subtle milky fragrance on the little lolita's body, made Yiyin slowly come back to his senses.
He smiled at De Song who was carefully wiping his face, took the face towel from her hand, and wiped it vigorously a few times to wake himself up.
At this time, Kamesong had already prepared his clothes and was kneeling aside, waiting to change his clothes.
Yiyin nodded slightly, and Tokusatsu gently opened the quilt, and cooperated with Kamesong to change Yiyin's clothes.
Yiyin was already used to being served by others. Seeing that the two little lolita were sweating profusely from being busy, he just stood up and stood up in cooperation, making it easier for them to attack.
In this cruel medieval era, in the strict hierarchy of the martial arts society, everyone needs to know his or her position and prove the value of his or her life.
Although he was born into a noble family in Kitahata, as Kitahata Tomomi had no choice but to abdicate, the best outcome for Tokusatsu Kamematsu was that he would be feared by the new family governor and be forced to become a monk and spend his life in desolation.
As for the worst outcome, maybe he will follow Kitahata Guojiao and be killed together by Kitahata Shinbao with an excuse to avoid future troubles.
Yoshigan's protection is already the grace that Kitahata Gujiao desperately seeks.
Tokusatsu Kamematsu can only do his best to do his job well. If Yiyin really treats them as children and doesn't let them work, they will panic and don't know how to deal with themselves.
The world is like this, and it is not easy for children to live.
Seeing the two little lolita trying to serve him, Yiyin couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
It has been almost twenty years since I came to this world, and it has been five years since I revived the Shiba family. During this time, I have fallen in love with many Hime warriors.
If any of them had a child of their own, how old would it be now? Probably four or five years younger than Tokusatsu Kamematsu. Children grow up very fast. They should already know how to call daddy, right?
Yiyin couldn't help but shake his head. What happened to him today? He suddenly became so sentimental. The two new little lolita were playing around in front of him and behind him. He was minding his own thoughts and following their movements.
Recently, Yiyin has been very lazy and can't bring himself to do anything.
Asai Nagamasa died, and the paintings she sent were burned by Yoshiyin. I thought everything had been turned into ashes, and the past was too painful to look back on, so just forget it.
However, Yoshigan still underestimated Oda Nobunaga's hatred for Asai Nagamasa's betrayal. The golden cup of skulls at the Gifu Castle celebration banquet made the entire Koki samurai family tremble and left Yoshigan speechless.
Recalling the young house governor who once fought alongside him, and the tenderness she had silently admired him for all these years, Yiyin felt powerless.
I couldn't do anything for Asai Nagamasa, I could only stick to the strategy of keeping a low profile and bide my time, silently watching her once radiant face turn into a cup of withered bones and let others abuse her.
If this is politics, and this is the big picture that I will experience every day in the future, then my life is really boring.
But no matter how much emotion Yiyin expresses, what can it do?
Akechi Mitsuhide put the Kamo clan in trouble, and Takada Harano rushed out and shouted that he had no money. This not only embarrassed Kamo clan, but also reminded Yoshihiro.
Managing a big country is like cooking a small dish. Even if you are the head of a family, no one under your command dares to disobey a word you say, but you cannot do anything willful.
War costs money, domestic affairs cost money, and maintaining the Sibo family business is all real money. It's satisfying to be willful in the moment, but when your family business is in ruins afterwards, don't you have to fill the hole yourself?
Yiyin had no choice but to endure it again. He didn't know how many things he had endured in the past few years, from Konki to Kanto, and from Kanto to Konki.
It seems that the whole world knows that he is a good-tempered, forbearance turns into gold, Ninja Turtles, what the hell, do you deserve to be pointed at a gun if you are a good person?
But in front of him, Yiyin was feeling depressed again, and he seemed to have to endure it again.
News came from the confidentiality team that Takeda Shingen failed to go to Luo, so he sent Kosaka Masanobu to take the heir of the Takeda family by sea, ashore from Minami Ise and entered Yamato country, and was about to reach Tamonyama Castle.
When Yiyin looked at the list of entourage, he looked at Tianhai, the unlucky guy, and felt funny just thinking about it.
At that time, he was angered by the ancestors of the great emperors, so he used Tianhai to vent his anger in the imperial temple. Anyway, he had a life and didn't bother with special effects to protect himself.
Tianhai had no choice but to swallow this dead rat, thinking that he had blasphemed Shiba Yiyin, so he had no choice but to run away to Kanto.
Who knew that Yi Gin also went to Kanto, fought on Kawanaka Island, and met Tian Hai again, and even asked her to reveal her identity and be caught by Takeda Shingen.
This was good. Tianhai thought that he had humiliated Yiyin in recent years and participated in the common humiliation in Yantian City. He was so frightened that he did not dare to leave the Kingdom of Kai for several years.
But she did not escape the disaster. As soon as the situation of the Takeda family was not good, Takeda Shingen threw her to Tawenyama Castle. This was because he wanted to send her to be killed by Yoshigan to vent his anger.
In fact, Yoshigami doesn't hate Tenkai at all, nor does he hate Takeda Shingen. Looking back now, those days in Yantian City were really happy.
Amami is also considered a stunning beauty among nuns, but compared to Takeda Shingen's heroic bear, who is smart and sexy, the gap is quite obvious.
There is also Masanobu Kosaka, the only beauty Yoshigage has ever seen in his life. Yukimori Yamanaka has matured a lot in the past few years, so he is qualified to compare with her.
Yiyin is even looking forward to it. He wonders if he will be more charming than before when he meets Kosaka Masanobu in a few years.
Takeda Shingen thought that he was sending someone to be stabbed, but in fact, Yoshigan had no murderous intention towards Kosaka Masanobu's good looks and Amami's unlucky attitude. Instead, he felt like looking back on the past with emotion.
Takasaka Masanobu was so beautiful that he was reluctant to kill her. After all, Amami is also the half-sister of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Yoshigan wouldn't even kill her.
As for Takeda Shingen's thoughts, Yoshigan can guess a little bit.
This time the Takeda family sent a hostage girl because the bastards at the Kanto Palace suddenly turned against each other, and Takeda Shingen had no choice but to do so.
Yoshigan was not interested in the heir whom Takeda Shingen found as an abandoned son from nowhere.
What he was angry about were the people he trusted the most at the Kanto Palace. How could they follow Uesugi Teruhora to do such mischief!
Yoshihiro thought about it for ten days and nights, but still couldn't figure out why the Standing Council wanted to cooperate with Uesugi Teruhora to fight against the Takeda family? And the Hojo clan politics, what is she messing with?
Chaos broke out in Kanto, Takeda Kamiro gave up halfway, and Oda Nobunaga killed Asai and Asakura's family. Seeing that the power was overwhelming, no one could rule it.
Yoshigan knew that Oda Nobunaga would definitely attack Ashikaga Yoshiaki who created Nobunaga's siege network. Oda Nobunaga's temperament has always been to retaliate, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki will be finished.
The core of the strategy of keeping a low profile is to use Oda Nobunaga to overthrow the Ashikaga Shogunate so that Yoshigan can cleanly build a new world.
Akechi Mitsuhide has helped Yiyin run the bank until now, and there is only one final step left.
Yoshigan also knew that he could not help Takeda Shingen. The land of Minami Ise was already the territory of the Oda family. The news that the Takeda family sent a hostage girl would soon reach Oda Nobunaga's ears.
With Oda Nobunaga's current arrogance, he would definitely ask Yoshigan for Takeda's hostage, so how could Yoshigan not give it to her?
As mentioned before, the Ashikaga shogunate was only one step away from ending. Yoshigami can endure it until now, and he is not close to enduring this last breath.
However, thinking of Kosaka Masanobu, Tenkai, and the Takeda hostess, Yoshigine felt somewhat guilty.
It was either a woman with whom he had physical ties, or an innocent and pitiful child. Yiyin felt that his heart was indeed getting harder and harder.
He hates the way he is now more and more, caring about the overall situation, caring about the overall situation, and finally losing all his humanity. Is this called a politician?
Therefore, Yiyin is always lazy these days and finds nothing interesting in anything he does.
After Tokusatsu Kamematsu changed his clothes and finished his breakfast, Yoshigan finally came to his door after having been depressed for a long time.
Pu Sheng's village came in a hurry and kowtowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Takeda family Kousaka Masanobu and Takeda Shingen's adopted daughter are requesting an audience. A group of people are kneeling in the atrium of the residence."
Yiyin asked after being silent for a while.
"Is there any reaction from Kyoto?"
Pu Shengshixiang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Akechi Mitsuhide went to Azuchi Castle a few days ago. It is said that at this time, she has rushed to Tamonyama Castle with the envoys of the Oda family."
Yiyin sighed.
"That's right... Kosaka Masanobu has come all the way. She's tired from the journey, so I won't see her for now. I'll find a place for her to settle down... I'll wait until Mitsuhide Akechi arrives."
Yiyin felt so guilty that he no longer even thought about seeing that peerless beauty again.
I just wanted to wait for Akechi Mitsuhide to come and let her be this evil person. Anyway, she was full of evil and was already full of evil, and she would not be short of one more bad thing.
Just as Kamouso was bowing and preparing to retreat, a shout suddenly came from outside the wall.
"Tsuda-den! Foreign Minister Kosaka Masanobu sincerely requests an audience!"
Yiyin was stunned and shook his head sadly.
There was a hint of anger in Pu Sheng's eyes and he cursed.
"What's going on with this Kosaka Masanobu? Does she know etiquette?"
Those who meet with superiors must be silent. It is rude to shout from a distance. Not only is it useless, it only increases resentment.
The Takeda family is now in dire straits. When Kosaka Masanobu came to ask for help, he had to look like he was asking for help. But she chose to act recklessly in the atrium, which was naturally a dead end, and there was no need for Yoshigan to see her.
Just when the village of Kamou clan despised Takeda Shingen for choosing the wrong envoy, Kosaka Masanobu lost his mind, and the Takeda family was doomed, another hoarse voice of Kosaka Masanobu was heard from outside the wall.
"Tsuda-dono! Please take a look! Take a look at your daughter! Take a look at the biological daughter of you and my Highness!"
Kamaojigo turned around to go out to clean up Kosaka Masanobu, but her figure suddenly froze. She slowly turned back and looked at her master.
At this time, Yiyin seemed to have been pierced by thousands of arrows, his face instantly turned pale, and then turned red again.
He seemed unable to breathe, his throat was bulging repeatedly, swallowing saliva, his chest was rising and falling, and he could not calm down for a moment.
"Pull me up."
"Tsuda-den?"
"Pull me up!"
"Hi!"
Yiyin felt that his legs and feet were weak, but he still strode forward quickly, almost tripping himself several times. Behind him, Kamao Shigo followed closely, fearing that he would fall on him.
Stepping through the threshold of the inner courtyard, Yoshigan saw Kosaka Masanobu with tears streaming down his face, a child in his arms, straightening his back, and shouting loudly.
Naomasa Ii and his colleagues were standing outside, supposedly to stop Kosaka Masanobu's rude behavior, but at this time everyone was looking at each other and did not dare to touch her for a moment.
Until Yoshiyin appeared at the threshold, Kosaka Masanobu's shouts suddenly stopped, and there was silence in the atrium, and you could hear a needle drop.
