Speaking of falling out with Oda Nobunaga this time, Yoshihiro felt that the person he felt most sorry for was Maeda Toshiie.
Of course Yoshigami understands Maeda Toshiie's thoughts about him. He never gave up, fought with Oda Nobunaga to the end, and racked his brains to protect the Owari Shiba Territory, the Owari Shiba Territory in Oda's territory.
But even if Maeda Toshiie is capable, this time it will be different. With Yoshigami beheading Oda Nobunaga's nickname, there will inevitably be a fire between the Shiba family and the Oda family.
No matter how roundabout and gentle Maeda Toshiie was, he could not continue to deal with Oda Nobunaga and blur the territorial attributes of Owari Shiba Territory, a country within a country.
With the clear-cut confrontation between the two sides, how could Oda Nobunaga continue to tolerate the existence of Owari Shiba leader, leaving a big flaw in his heart.
Yiyin is a man who traveled through time in the modern society of a male-dominated world. He has a strong sense of morality.
In contrast, the Ji warriors from the medieval era in this female-dominated world were far more cruel and shameless than Yiyin and had no bottom line.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Hime Warriors, Yoshiun's tendency to treat people as human beings is a flaw in his male nature of being indecisive.
But Yiyin couldn't be hard-hearted and couldn't learn the selfishness of the Wu family. He has always been soft-hearted and cares about old relationships, so he can only go behind the man's back. This is the sexism of men.
Yoshigan, who was holding Reina, felt very tired.
As the saying goes, anger brings beauty, but who knows the price behind anger? His anger would probably result in rivers of blood being shed, and all the plans he had made over the past few years would come to naught.
For Rena's sake, Yoshigan will not regret it, but thinking about the troubles that are about to hit him, Yoshigan can't help but feel tired.
It is very difficult to be a good person with morals and a bottom line in modern society. But in the martial arts society where the jungle prevails, having human nature and being a big fool means the same thing, which is even more unbearable.
The only thing Yiyin could do was grit his teeth and persevere.
The result of his hard work over the years is his ability to stand up straight and be a man and a father. Warrior Ji couldn't understand him, but Yiyin could convince himself.
I am different from them.
The pride of a time traveler bloomed in Yiyin's heart at this moment, making him feel that he was still himself, rather than a walking corpse that had been assimilated into a beast by the martial arts society.
Akechi Mitsuhide also saw the tired look on Yoshigan's face after venting his anger.
Looking at the back of Takeda Rena's small head, and seeing the fatherly look of Yoshigage being careful not to let the child see the body on the ground, Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't help but feel sad.
She can't understand Yiyin's reserve and persistence as a person from two generations. She only understands a man and a father with the mentality of a woman in a world of femininity.
Yiyin is too bitter.
He was born into a well-known family, and he should have lived in a boudoir, waiting to get married, and have a life that may not be happy, but certainly stable, as a wife and goddaughter.
But fate is so cruel. The famous Shiba clan, one of the three leaders, was exterminated, and Yiyin had to embark on the painful road of reviving the family business.
The hardships he endured and the sufferings he endured were more than even the strongest Ji warrior could bear.
In order to revive his family business, he went into battle to kill the enemy. In order to stabilize his inheritance, he gave up his chastity.
He is obviously the most pure and innocent male god in the world, but he is willing to degenerate and sleep with many Ji warriors to tarnish his reputation.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru forced him to marry, so he could only accept it, and he had to bear the consequences of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's death. He was forced to become a widow and become a monk and a widow.
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know where the child Rena Takeda came from, but she knew that this process was definitely not a good memory.
But even though Yiyin endured so much pain, he still defended the child because it was his only relative in the world.
Akechi Mitsuhide felt countless pity and guilt in his heart. What right did he have to accuse him of being weak and impulsive?
He has given everything to the Spo family, can't he love his own child because of his inherent fatherhood?
Akechi Mitsuhide asked himself, he said he loved him, but what had he done for him?
To force him to accept the strategy of occupying the magpie's nest and having sex with many Ji warriors? Or should we force him to accept the strategy of keeping a low profile and watch the Oda family grow, making him give in again and again and bear the humiliation?
Some things are really unthinkable. As long as you think about them carefully, the guilt in your heart will become more and more overwhelming, and it will be difficult to calm down.
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes sparkled, and she kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Your Majesty, I have a request."
Yiyin looked at her, wondering what bad idea this poisonous man who gave him a headache had come up with.
"you say."
Akechi Mitsuhide stood up, pointed at Takahashi Torasatsu's dead head on the ground, and said.
"I sincerely request you to send an envoy to Azuchi Castle and return the body of Takahashi Toramatsu to His Majesty Oda."
A trace of surprise flashed in Yiyin's eyes.
When the two armies were fighting, they did not kill the envoy. Yoshigan furiously killed the envoy sent by Oda Nobunaga. This incident was a slap in the face of Oda Nobunaga. How could that violent guy let it go?
Whoever returns the body at this time actually risks being hacked to death by the Oda family. After all, it was Yiyin who broke the rules first, and it was reasonable for others to return a corpse to declare war.
Akechi Mitsuhide was in charge of diplomacy and was certainly aware of this risk, so why did she return the body herself?
Yiyin shook his head.
"It's too dangerous, don't go."
Hearing Yoshiun's subconscious rejection, Akechi Mitsuhide smiled sincerely.
She at least knew that her master still loved her and was unwilling to take risks, but she had to take risks.
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed solemnly and said.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me.
The Oda family is in dire straits, and your Majesty is determined to fight His Highness Oda, but no matter what the outcome is, you need to think clearly about how it will end.
Before we decide to go to war, we must figure out how to end it. Therefore, the line of negotiation with the Oda family cannot be interrupted, and we must try our best to retain room for negotiation with His Highness Oda. "
At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide already understood that Yoshigan's decision to go to war was indeed impulsive, just for Takeda Rena.
The strategy of hiding one's strength and biding one's time was over, but Mitsuhide Akechi did not give up. As long as there was still hope for the Shiba-Oda family to live together, she would always keep this thread open and make plans for the future.
Neither Shiba Yoshigan nor Oda Nobunaga are stubborn people who refuse to listen to advice. On the contrary, the two people who can carve out a bloody path in troubled times are actually quite flexible in their work styles.
Since the war is unavoidable, let's just have a good fight and let the Shiba and Oda families fist bump before planning the follow-up.
Only opponents of comparable strength can gain the true respect of His Highness Oda. Although Yiyin's move is impulsive, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Let’s fight first and then talk about what the future will be like.
Akechi Mitsuhide must not retreat at this time, but must rush forward to buy time for Yoshigami Shiba to hold back Oda Nobunaga, ease the hostility of the Oda family.
she said.
"Your Majesty is preparing to go to Luo and have a showdown with His Highness Oda.
But the influence of our Shiba family is in the Kanto area, and the scheduling of Owari Shiba's leader is still pending. No matter what you plan to do, it will take time.
In addition, there are countless factions in the Oda family and there are many conflicts. Since they want to fight, it is natural to maintain communication with the Oda family and divide their camps so that they cannot form a joint force.
Therefore, I must go to see His Highness Oda to buy time for you and gain the initiative. "
Yoshigan thought for a while and had to admit that Akechi Mitsuhide was right. It was actually very unwise for him to get angry and fall out with the Oda family directly.
The Oda family has been at war in the past few years. The army is either mobilizing or preparing to mobilize. Oda Nobunaga can pull up the team at any time.
However, in recent years, Sibo collar has been warehousing swords and guns, and letting horses go to Nanshan. Except for the recent attack on the declining Mihaoshi family, there has been no war for a long time.
And the systems of the two companies are also different.
The Oda family was dominated by Oda Nobunaga. He could attack whoever he wanted, and the retainers were powerless to stop him.
In recent times, Yiyin is the leader of the local powerful faction of the shogunate, and in Kanto, he is the leader of the samurai family of the Kanto Palace. His influence is great, but most of the soldiers and land are not in his hands.
Yoshigan can send troops if he wants, but it will never be as easy as Oda Nobunaga, who has to trick others into helping him.
The Shiba family must first clench their fists before they can punch anyone. This requires holding back Oda Nobunaga until coordination within the alliance is complete.
Yiyin thought about it and finally sighed.
"It's quite dangerous to go here, Mingzhiji, are you sure?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about me. I have my own excuses to deal with His Highness Oda and buy you time.
Takahashi Husong has an unruly attitude, speaks rudely, and behaves inappropriately before the emperor. This is an unforgivable crime. Your Majesty is the elder of the Genji family, so what if I kill her?
After all, she is just a minor surname and not an official envoy of His Highness Oda. She is just an entourage sent by Oda Nobunaga to follow me. "
Yiyin's eyes flashed and he understood what Akechi Mitsuhide meant.
If Takahashi Toramatsu is Oda Nobunaga's envoy, Yoshigage's beheading will naturally be a slap in the face. Oda Nobunaga will become angry and will immediately fall out with Yoshigage.
However, what if Takahashi Torasatsu's identity is not an envoy?
Akechi Mitsuhide positioned himself as a lobbyist for the Oda family and demoted Takahashi Toramatsu to a follower. A follower disobeyed the king and was killed by the king in anger. Although it was troublesome, it was only a small trouble.
Envoys and followers are both human beings, but envoys represent the face of the Oda family, while followers are just ministers of the Oda family, so the level of slap in the face is naturally not the same.
Yiyin thought deeply.
"Your Majesty Oda, can you accept your explanation?"
Akechi Mitsuhide sighed.
"Of course she can't accept it, but at least there is a step to go down, so that she won't kill me, an important minister of Shiba who loves Oda. After all, I am still useful to her."
Yiyin scoffed.
"A good chess piece of the Oda family, Mitsuhide, you are really good at dancing and have fulfilled your mission."
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't take Yoshigan's ridicule to heart. Your Majesty's temperament is not right today, and you are protecting me as if you are an uncle, so you should not take it seriously.
Akechi Mitsuhide said seriously.
“Your Majesty, I know that His Highness Oda, who claims to be the elder of the Taira clan, is planning to exile Ashikaga Shogun.
She is determined to marry you and achieve the political goal of Genpei's merger in order to create Oda Gongyi. "
Yiyin snorted coldly.
"She really dares to think about it."
Akechi Mitsuhide put the label of the Genpei merger that he planned for Oda Nobunaga on Oda Nobunaga's head, and he really dared to take the blame.
She said without changing her expression.
"No matter what Oda Nobunaga thinks, at least she has no possibility of overthrowing the general for the time being, because you are about to go to Luo."
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes couldn't help but harbor resentment. It was clear that he was only one step away from driving away Ashikaga Yoshiaki, overthrowing the Ashikaga Shogunate, and leaving Oda Nobunaga with the blame for his treason.
But at this time, in order to keep Takeda Rena, Yoshigage insisted on changing his ways and overthrowing everything.
As soon as Yoshigan went to Luo, Ashikaga Yoshiaki would definitely hug his thigh tightly. Until the war between the Shiba and Oda families ends, the Ashikaga shogunate will have no worries for the time being.
Mitsuhide Akechi hoped that Yoshigan could win Oda Nobunaga's battle, but he was also worried about how Yoshigan should deal with Ashikaga Yoshiaki after Oda Nobunaga's defeat. It was really a big dilemma.
Yoshigan also felt the resentment towards Akechi Mitsuhide, but he pretended not to know and said.
"Reina is Young Master Takeda, from the famous Minamoto clan.
Takeda Shingen went to Luo to start a border provocation without authorization, and the shogunate should give orders to him. Reina went to Luo, which was the Takeda family's respectful loyalty to the shogunate.
Even if Takeda Shingen is at fault, the noble clan will not be destroyed just because of this crime. Takeda Shingen can be made to abdicate, and Rena can be replaced by Yuan Yu in advance and succeed the Takeda family governor.
However, if Reina comes to Konki this time, the general should grant her the status of a companion and stay in Konki to serve.
The chores of the Takeda family will be temporarily handed over to Takeda Shingen, and when Reina grows up, she can return to the Takeda territory to govern. "
Although Yoshigami keeps talking about what the general wants to do, in fact, this is all the script he has arranged for Reina.
We can't go back to the Takeda territory for the time being. Takeda Shingen caused trouble by herself, so let her wipe her buttocks clean by herself, so as not to harm my sweetheart.
He used Takeda Shingen to abdicate after being convicted of his crime to deal with the Oda family, and used his status as a companion to keep Rena with Koki, that is, Yoshigami himself.
When the situation in Kai Country stabilizes and Reina grows up, Yoshihiro will consider whether to let her go back and inherit the family business.
If Takeda Shingen has the ability to calm down the situation and clear up internal and external troubles, Reina, the fat member of the Kai-Takeda family, will deserve to be taken advantage of in the future.
If Takeda Shingen himself was useless, even if Yoshigan wanted to help her, he could not withstand the pressure. In the end, he would be defeated and die, and the family business would be destroyed, and Reina would not have to go back.
This is full of fatherly love. He will pave the way for his daughter every step of the way. Love your daughter and be prepared with both hands.
But the prerequisite for all this to go smoothly is that Yoshigage must bump fists with Oda Nobunaga, so that the Oda family will retreat when faced with difficulties, and everyone must pay attention to Yoshigage's anger and not dare to have evil thoughts towards Reina.
Akechi Mitsuhide could only smile bitterly when he saw that Yoshigan had already made a clear calculation in his mind.
She has never seen the king calculate so carefully on military and state affairs. It is truly a father-daughter bond that no one else can envy.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"As long as your Majesty doesn't intend to completely destroy the Oda family, many things will be easy to handle."
Yiyin shook his head.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
