"After Takeda invaded Enjiang, he re-established his activities on the border of Higashimikawa and Higashimino, and Oda and Tokugawa were in an uproar, and the soldiers were waiting for them, and the army was uneasy."

"Due to the inability to send troops, the Oda family sent Mino Takenaka Shigeharu as an envoy to deal with the Minami-Omi dispute, and it was approved by the shogunate. Shibata Hall, Sakuma Hall, Takigawa Hall, Nakagawa Hall, and Sakai Hall all said they were willing to accept mediation. ”

"It was rumored that Asai, Matsunaga and others deliberately intervened, and they sternly refused for the Oda family, and they were not supported by the shogunate."

The old Oda generals of Minami Omi have been messing up with guns and arrows for more than half a month, and they actually came up with such a result.

Hirate looked at the latest information sent and fell into deep thought.

The matter of Takeda's westward expansion was expected, but the timing was too coincidental, and it happened to involve the energy of Oda and Tokugawa, coupled with the fact that Asai Shin was defeated by Bizen, and the other forces did not have enough right to speak, and the chaos in Minami Omi seemed to be unsolvable for a while.

Under such circumstances, Shigeharu Takenaka, who is well-connected and has superb political skills, is indeed very likely to be an acceptable candidate in all respects.

Oda Nobutada was anxious to pacify the rear in order to put Omi in order to deal with a potential attack by Takeda, preferring to lose some marginal peripheral interests; The generals of Jinai had no long-term aspirations, but only to ensure their own safety and power, and the reason why they raised troops was because they were afraid of Se Li.

At this moment, if there is a third party who everyone can trust to make clever mediation, it is not impossible to resolve the conflict and calm the chaos.

From Ashikaga Yoshiaki's point of view, if Shigeharu Takenaka really has such a ability, he is likely to directly give him a name and let him replace Shibata in charge of Minami Omi.

This is tantamount to further weakening the centripetal force of the Oda family without tearing the face, which is conducive to the rebuilding of the prestige of the shogunate.

"It's kind of interesting......

According to the idea of a tie, there must be a mastermind behind Minami Omi's affairs. It is said that chaos has happened, and it should be regarded as a conspiracy to be carried out smoothly, but the appearance of Shigeharu Takenaka is likely to lead to the subsequent plot extending in a direction that no one expected.

Now it is not possible to judge simply by success and failure.

The "man behind the scenes" himself is estimated to be dumbfounded, and he cannot fully estimate the gains and losses.

The premise is that this thing was not designed by Takenaka himself - this should not be in suspense, if he wants to have this strength, what kind of trick is he playing to save up popularity after living in seclusion for several years?

The most suspicious are Takeda Shingen and Kuroda Takataka.

The key clue character Sakuma Nobumori is by no means an honest person who is willing to be a pawn, and even if he is bought, it is very likely that he will not act according to the script temporarily.

Matsunaga Xiu seems to be old and faint, unbearable to the director, do you know if it is not a pretentious gesture?

Ise Kitabatake, Echizen Asakura, and even Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Kyoto also had the motive to cause adverse reactions in the Oda territory.

The Mino trio may also have ulterior motives...... From this point of view, Shigeharu Takenaka is not necessarily innocent.

All in all, except for the dead Nakagawa brothers, Sakai Masanori, who was almost killed, Shibata Katsuie, whose power was damaged, Takigawa Kazuki, who was shot, and Oda Nobutada, whose prestige fell, these "victims", it seems that other people may be secretly involved.

In the final analysis, the current regime is neither fearful nor rewarding, but relies on the dynamic balance between different forces to maintain a semblance of peace, and the room for careerists to operate is too great.

For example, during the reign of Nobunaga, Sakuma Nobumori didn't think about doing anything even though he was dismissed and imprisoned, on the one hand, he didn't dare, and on the other hand, because the Demon King had an old practice of appointing rebel generals in an eclectic manner, and he could expect to have a chance to return in the future.

Oda Nobutada obviously couldn't make others "dare", and in his political structure, he couldn't let Sakuma Nobumori see hope, so he simply went bankrupt and fought to the death.

I kept thinking about these troublesome political situations, and I was so engrossed in the moment that I couldn't even forget about what was in front of me.

It wasn't until the military commander Fu Hattori Hideyasu came to report that "Okamishi is leading 600 elite people from the Saga Party to attack the Great Su Fortress two quarters of an hour ago, and won more than 80 ranks by the enemy's general Tsuchihashi Morishige. The remnants of the defenders fled or surrendered in pieces, and the few recalcitrant ones were being surrounded and suppressed, the number of which cannot be remembered. ”

Pingshou Fan Xiu gently folded the thin two pages, nodded slightly, and walked out of the tent to observe the situation with a telescope.

However, after a few glances, there was nothing to gain, only that the people in the city were on their backs and the flames were soaring into the sky, the ground was full of corpses, stumps and broken blades, and the shouts of killing and gunfire did not stop, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke and blood.

Seeing this, Tieshou Tsuchishu was a little strange: "Tsuchihashi Shouzhong has been awarded, are there still many people who resist?" ”

Hattori Hidean shook his head: "Just now I saw with my own eyes that the soldiers and junior samurai of the Saga Party were already searching everywhere for the belongings in the Great Corn Valley. ”

That's right.

Pingshou Honxiu smiled self-deprecatingly, he had lived too long with money, and he had forgotten the normality of this era. The flag reserve of its own flag is not keen on indiscriminate hunting and hunting, that is because the military salary is sufficient, and it is easy to look down on a little floating wealth. The appearance of the two countries of Izumi and Awaji is that they lack combat power and cannot earn too many opportunities.

In fact, the Zaga Party was not poor, but it lacked the financial means to distribute benefits, and the wealth and poverty were very uneven, and the people at the bottom were like other peasants and soldiers who hoped to earn some living expenses during the war.

Hattori Hideyasu reported the most important information, and then returned to continue his work as a military officer. And the tie has already begun to write for the next thing.

After about half an hour of noisy noise, the movement of the battlefield gradually stopped.

The military newspaper still hadn't had time to sort it out, but Horio Yoshiharu came over sweating profusely and panting, and whispered, "My lord! I heard that Okakishi Masana killed 14 members of the Tsuchihashi family, including two underage boys, which was almost equivalent to destroying the whole family. Now it seems that there is a lot of talk about it. ”

"That's the case...... Pingshou Fan Xiu bowed his head slightly, waved his hand and replied calmly: "Got it." You go and urge Iwanari Tomotsu and Konishi Yukinaga to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then let Okakishi come to see me. In addition, it is likely that someone else will come for this matter soon, and you should inform the other 'close learners' to pay more attention. ”

Horio Yoshiharu said "yes" and immediately hurried away.

The flat hand show, who has already made a good draft, began to brew feelings.

Then, as expected, a monk from each of the Shingon sect and the Ichijo sect came to ask for an audience and asked about the Tsuchihashi clan. In the Kii area, the actions and eyes and ears of these two religious forces can be said to be pervasive.

The two monks are not very old, one is the junior brother of Sugi Zhifang, and the other is the apprentice of Shimoma Lailian, neither of them is a person who is deep in the city, and his anxiety cannot be hidden at all.

Their division commanders are still carving up territory on Shikoku Island, and they have no time to separate.

In this regard, Tieshou Honxiu had already been prepared, but it was a pity that the two people in front of him were not high enough, and replied sincerely: "Even if Tsuchihashi Shouzhong is rebellious, it is just a crime of one person, how can I easily get involved with my family?" However, what the situation will be will not be known until the war report is remitted. ”

In the face of such a big truth, the monks naturally couldn't find fault.

After a while, the attendant actually reported that the "Kingo Temple" Hatakeyama Takamasa had arrived.

Pingshou Fanxiu hurriedly called someone to invite in, and got up to greet him, and the etiquette was ready.

He is not only a retired veteran leader of Kii, but also a high-ranking official of the imperial court in name! And he became the adoptive father of Yakshamaru, so he was specially invited to the army to strengthen the authority of this crusade.

This position must be honored.

Hatakeyama Takamasa's face sank like water, he slowly entered, reluctantly chuckled, and replied: "Lord Lao's Criminal Department has taken care of me, a useless person." I heard that the siege had been won, and the old man remembered the kindness of the past and Tsuchihashi, so he came to give this child a ride. ”

The voice was flat, but it sounded like an unstoppable sadness.

It seems that Takamasa Hatakeyama had predicted that the end of Tsuchihashi Morishige would be very bad.

The tie was frightened by his courage for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

The prepared manuscript and emotions were also scattered.

When he was young, he once controlled nearly one million stone territories in the three kingdoms of Jinnai, with 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and competed with Miyoshi Changqing for many years, and was defeated after ten years.

The temperament honed in the stormy waves is really very comparable.

Talking to this kind of person, it seems ridiculous to play too many fancy words. Hitetsu Tsubaki bowed slightly, and said politely and bluntly to Hatakeyama Takamasa: "For everyone's sake, as long as the sword is not eyeless on the battlefield, I will try to be as lenient as possible." ”

The meaning of the words must have been understood by the other party as soon as they heard it.

When the words landed, Horio Yoshiharu walked in sweating, and reported that Iwasari Tomo had finished counting today's battle situation, and he came to meet him with the first hero, Okakishi.

"Hurry in!" Hirate Hinoru immediately gave instructions, and at the same time took two steps forward, grabbed Horio Yoshiharu's arm, and asked urgently, "How is Tsuchihashi Mamoshige's family?" ”

"Back to ...... Return...... Returning to the lord's ......" Horio Yoshiharu gasped for breath and could barely speak. He bent down and took two deep breaths before he relented and replied: "According to the main hall of Okakishi, the Tsuchihashi Gate is stubbornly resistant, including young children and female dependents, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so it can only be wiped out!" ”

is a "sword without eyes on the battlefield", which is exactly the same as what Tieshou Tsuyoshi just said.

The monk of Shingon Sect was shocked when he heard this, and he was dumbfounded, and the Buddha bead he was holding in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't know how to pick it up.

The monk of the Sect snorted angrily, his fists clenched, and he was swept away by the flat hand before he reluctantly lowered his head.

Only Hatakeyama Takamasa did not have a trace of surprise on his face, but reached out and touched the cross on his chest, and recited a few pagan prayers that no one present could understand.

Hiteshu shook his head bitterly, closed his eyes, and sighed: "I thought it was all the Saga Party, and if Okamishi was the main attacker, it would be the most likely to keep the bloodline of the Tsuchihashi clan, but I didn't expect it to backfire...... It's my fault! ”
