"Shibata-sama, what are you worried about?" The draw Pan Xiu asked on the side, his face looking very concerned.

Niwa Nagahide also turned around when he heard this.

"Oh, nothing, just worried about today's meeting." Shibata Katsuya waved his hand and signaled that he was okay, "Although the location is here, I still think it's a little unstable!" ”

He actually started to care about politics too?

"What do you mean by that?" Niwa asked.

"Later, Ashikaga Left Horse Head is going to attend, and according to his identity, he must be sitting on the throne, so where is the position of the lord? Is it his retainer? We're not fighting the world for the Ashikaga family! Shibata was blunt about his analysis.

Originally worried about this......

Niwa Nagahide bowed slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and he did not answer.

Pingshou Fanxiu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the dominance of Shangluo will inevitably be in the hands of my own family, although I don't know what means the main guild uses." ”

"Means?" Shibata frowned.

"Look at the past ten years, when has our Oda family suffered a loss in terms of reputation? That—" Fanxiu pointed to the inner house of the city, "Your Highness's attainments in this area are unmatched by few people in the world. ”

These words caused Shibata to fall into deeper silent thought. It is obviously not so easy for a middle-aged man in his forties who has never focused only on military affairs to make up for his lessons in politics.

Niwa glanced at Fanxiu with a complicated expression, and the latter didn't understand the meaning of this look after thinking about it for a while, but he probably felt that it didn't contain negative emotions.

……

In the early spring of the ninth year of Eiroku, the Oda family was particularly lively, and the number of samurai gathered here was twice as large as in previous years. In addition to the samurai of Omi and the two provinces, there were also envoys from the Tokugawa, Asai, and Asakura families, as well as the old shogunes who came with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. In order to accommodate this "brigadier general", the venue of the talks had to be placed in Mino. Mikawa's Sushimasa Ishikawa and Omi's Kiyotsuna Akao almost immediately blended into the atmosphere of the Oda family, and often went out with local samurai at taverns and whale houses. The old Yamazaki Yoshiya of Echizen's family is a little arrogant and self-conscious, but as a career diplomat, the basic work is still in place one by one.

The retainers sat down early, just waiting for Nobunaga to welcome Ashikaga Yoshiaki into the door. However, when the time came, he only found Nobunaga hurrying in with a few attendants, and the person behind him was obviously not the brigadier general in appearance and clothing.

"The left horse head was assassinated by the Rokkaku family Koga ninja halfway, and he returned to his residence early and was shocked." Nobunaga announced to the people below, "This Hosokawa Daisuke will come to discuss as a representative of Lord Samatou." ”

"Below is Hosokawa and Ichiro Fujitaka, under the left horse head of the Lie, I have seen all the adults." The middle-aged man who was about to stand at the back smiled reluctantly and owed to the hall, this famous cultural person, but at this time his face was gloomy, and he had no elegance at all.

There was a moment of silence.

Then the Tokugawa envoy Ishikawa Shumasa was the first to react and said, "The son of a daughter can't sit down, that's how it should be. "His position is clearly on Oda Nobunaga's side.

Hosokawa Fujitaka's expression became more and more gloomy at this time.

"I don't think it's appropriate." The Yamazaki Yoshiya of the Asakura family had to stand up and fight, "If the so-called name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done, if there is no Ashikaga Left Horse Head in charge, then we will gather people to go to Luo, and it will become a lawlessness and disturb the peace of the court." ”

Well, disturb the "tranquility" of the imperial court...... I wonder if the royal family and ministers will burst into tears when they hear the last two words, or will they grit their teeth? There is no shortage of malicious speculation.

"Are you encouraging Lord Left Horsehead to travel at the risk of being assassinated?" Ishikawa made no secret of his position, "If you say this, you will mistakenly think that you have been bought by the Rokkaku family." ”

The reason why this person's fierce rhetoric was that he deliberately jumped out as a target to attract firepower and cover Oda Nobunaga, and Yamazaki Yoshiya also knew this, so he directly crossed Ishikawa, looked at Nobunaga and said: "Ashikaga Left Horse Head was assassinated in your territory, how do you feel about Danmasa-sama (the official position of the Demon King at the time)?" ”

"It's a shame indeed." Nobunaga put on a posture mixed with remorse and self-reproach, "Although it is not enough to apologize for the death of the next, but we must thoroughly investigate the matter before, and before the hidden forces of the Rokkaku are eliminated, let's suspend the dispatch of troops!" ”

It was most beneficial for the Asakura family to drag it down, and the other party took the initiative to propose it, but the Yamazaki Yoshiya didn't know what to say.

Then Oda Nobunaga swept over the Oda family ministers with his afterglow.

Before Niwa Heping could make a move, Lin Xiuzhen had already reached out with a swiftness that was completely inconsistent with his age, and his words were sincere: "Please think twice, Your Highness!" We can wait for the sake of the righteousness of the world, but tens of thousands of troops consume a lot every day, so we can't wait! ”

At this time, the Asai family's Akao Kiyotsuna finally found an opportunity to make a suggestion: "I think, let's go visit Ashikaga Sama head first." In addition, whether to delay the dispatch of troops is also up to Lord Zuo Matou to decide. ”

It seems to be impartial, but in fact there is a tendency. Because everyone here knows that the one who is most anxious to go to Luo is actually His Royal Highness the Brigadier General.

Nobunaga immediately agreed to Akao's suggestion.

Three to one, the Asakura family, who only accounted for 2,000 men in the coalition army, really had no confidence to speak.

So a group of more than 100 people, plus thousands of guards, marched to the Ritsushoji Temple where Ashikaga Yoshiaki lived—a small temple obviously could not accommodate so many people, so only a few people could simply fit in, and the question of superiority and inferiority could only be put aside.

Hisho Fanxiu took advantage of the chaos to pull Hori Hidemasa, who was standing beside Nobunaga just now, to ask about the situation, the latter first looked left and right, and then laughed: "Actually, it didn't hurt the adult at all, the assassin didn't catch it before he could make a move, but he just threw out his shuriken and smashed it on the window edge of the sedan chair." But the adult immediately shouted back......"

That's exactly what happened. Historically, Ashikaga Yoshiaki played a great role in establishing Nobunaga's encirclement, and is generally considered to be a man of great strategy and diplomacy, but he is not recognized as a martial artist, but he does not know to this extent. Normal adults shouldn't be like this, could it be that he was scared by his brother's affairs?

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Fanxiu hurriedly walked to the temple, but heard something from the Yamazaki Yoshiya of the Asakura family.

"May I ask if this person is from Owari or Mino?"

"It's not. This is a retainer recruited from Hokuriku by Muto-sama, a newcomer to the family, and he is temporarily appointed as the head of Ashigaru."

"Danzheng-sama!" Yamazaki called out Nobunaga's official position, "This is a traitor to the Asakura clan, and I hope you can extradite it to the family." ”

"Is that so?" Oda Nobunaga made a stunned expression, "What are the details?" ”

"This person's name is Horie Jingzhong, and he once defected in wartime, causing Asakura to be defeated by an army."

"That's right......" Nobunaga said with a very embarrassed expression.

When there was a dispute, Ishikawa Shumasa jumped out again: "This matter is just a small detail, and it is the righteousness to support the left horse head of Luo." ”

Even the Asai family's Akao Kiyotsuna looked at the Yamazaki Yoshiya with a little dissatisfaction.

"I have relatives who died in this battle, and it is difficult to ......control myself for a while," Yamazaki explained, barely calming his mind.

The appearance of this Horie Keitaka is obviously definitely not accidental, but someone deliberately arranged it this way. As for the sources of information...... Naturally, it was the man who was moved by the four thousand Guan Yulu.

At this time, the door of the side hall slowly opened, and a pale and richly dressed samurai walked out. Looking at the posture, it is obviously Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

This is the first time I've seen this guy. In terms of appearance alone, he is very close to his brother Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but he is a little thinner, but his temperament is completely different.

"What's the noise out there?"

He asked.

Murai Sadakatsu "happened" to stand at the door, so he explained to Ashikaga Yoshiaki 1510.

"Oh, then please Yamazaki-sama look at the contemptible face, and don't worry too much."

"Yes." Yamazaki Yoshiya replied very crisply, but his face was still very ugly.

It was only at this moment that Nobunaga made a calm look and began to mention the assignment of Kamiraku. At this time, the opponent's mind is already in turmoil - or rather, there is no opponent anymore.

"Guanyin Temple Castle is a world-famous important minister, I'm afraid only the Echizen elite of Asakura can deal with it!" Nobunaga was still deliberately tentative.

The Yamazaki Yoshiya subconsciously wanted to deny it - it would be rare for Asakura to squeeze out 2,000 people under the pressure of two lines, and it would be absolutely impossible to take down the Guanyin Temple Castle. So he replied, "The family is still more familiar with the work of protecting Ashikaga's left horsehead." ”

Nobunaga didn't wait for him to add anything, and immediately responded: "That's true, I'm a rough man and other samurai in the eastern country, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes when serving Ashikaga Samatou-sama, so it's better to leave it to the Asakura family in Echizen." ”

"You're too modest......" Yamazaki, who was confused, said this and realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

The remaining Asai and Tokugawa, who sent 3,000 troops, obviously won't compete with Oda.

……

"I really didn't expect it...... How could the lord use such a method? After coming out of Ritsumasa Temple, Shibata Katsuya sighed all the way and was greatly advised.

"Means? Are you misunderstanding something? Fanxiu asked rhetorically.

"Misunderstanding?"

"Do you think that the assassin was pretended to be sent by his family?" Fanxiu said bluntly.

"I didn't think so." Shibata hurriedly denied it.

"Actually, if you think about it," explained Fanhide, "if Ashikaga is assassinated on the left horse's head, who will benefit the most?" ”

Shibata thought for a moment, and then said, "It should be a hexagon, or it could be a three-good one, is it ......?"

"Actually, the family only needs to relax their guard a little."

Fanxiu gave the answer closest to the truth.

However, Shibata Katsuya was still very displeased, shook his head and said: "After all, this is an unsightly trick, and the samurai family shouldn't take trickery to deal with the world's major affairs!" ”

In fact, this is not a trick but a righteous way-Fanxiu said this in his heart, but his face did not express it.

Very simple reason, if Ashikaga Yoshiaki was in Echizen and the Asakura family mobilized a large army, and Oda only gathered 2,000 troops, then no matter what strategy was used, there would be no way to seize the right to speak in the coalition army.

But the opposite was true, so Nobunaga succeeded with only two trivial strategies. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
