It is very easy to show the big seal of a chapter of "World Buwu", but it is destined to be a long process to truly realize these four words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 For example, in the eyes of those who are optimistic about Oda, the hexagonal is already a fish on a sword, but from another perspective, it may come to a different conclusion.

At least Echizen Asakura Yoshikei generously sent someone to escort Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Gifu Castle, and also "politely" wrote a letter to Nobunaga, who had just moved, expressing moral support for his behavior of waving his mentorship to King Rakuto, and at the same time vaguely mentioning that if Omi's Rokkaku and Miyoshi and other "traitors" were difficult to deal with, the Asakura family was willing to "do a little favor". The implication is that he is not optimistic about the Oda family to complete Kamiro independently.

Since the Asakura family has such a negative attitude, the Asai family, who have relied on Asakura for so many years to survive, is naturally uncomfortable on both sides, and the "Omi no Eagle", who is sitting on 200,000 koku, finally privately promised 3,000 reinforcements - this is only equivalent to one-third of his strength. And the Tokugawa in Mikawa was under pressure from the Eastern Front, and could only draw one or two thousand people for formal support.

On the positive side, the Oda family held the vast majority of the coalition forces, and naturally they could enjoy the political benefits of Joraku, but on the other hand, it was questionable whether they could win the battle.

The Rokkaku Yoshiken there also tried his best to maintain his power, first trying his best to persuade his retainers who had deviated from virtue because of his son's foolish behavior, and barely gathered nearly 20,000 men and horses, so that they could fight on the surface, and then sent a letter to his brother-in-law, Ise Kitada Gujiao, agreeing to advance and retreat together.

Because of Takigawa Kazuyi's strategy for Northern Ise, as well as the relationship between the Nine Ghost Water Army, the Kitada family and the Oda family have always been discordant for a long time, and the so-called lips and teeth are cold, even if you don't look at your in-laws, Kitada Gukyo will not refuse this invitation.

(To explain, the pattern of the historical Northern Ise at this time is very complicated, but the protagonist is not responsible for that part, so I don't want to go into details.) ）

The Oda family's reaction was to immediately send troops to Kita-Ise to oppress them, intending to force the Kitada family and other forces to change their positions with strong troops, but before the war officially began, they heard rumors that the Takeda family had broken the alliance and attacked Mino, and the army was immediately in turmoil and had to retreat. Later, I learned that it was just a false information cast by the Koga ninja under the rule of Rokkaku.

Then there were many rumors about the instability of the Mino trio, which was true and false, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, and Nobunaga even became suspicious, summoning Inaba Ichitetsu to a temple for a tea party, and ordered the ninja to lie in the room and kill him if he saw any abnormal movement. Yitie was calm, with a sharp blade in his mind, and after hearing the screen, the color did not shift, but he pointed to the scroll on the wall, and chanted according to the artistic conception in the painting:

"A morning plays nine heavens, and the sunset falls to eight thousand sunshine roads. If you want to eliminate the evils for the Shengming, you are willing to decay and cherish the old age. Where is the family of Yunheng Qinling, and Xue Yonglan Guan is not moving forward. Puzzled, Yitie replied: "This Han retreats from the poem." Then explain sentence by sentence. At this time, Nobunaga appeared, summoned an ambush next door, and said: "At the beginning, I thought you were a reckless man, but I didn't mean that there was literature like this." Yitie also took out the dagger hidden in his arms, and said solemnly: "The servant does not want to die in vain." ”

The anecdote became a beautiful talk for a while, but it also reflected the current dilemma. Although they are all trivial matters, they are very tiring to the Oda family.

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki began to have ideas. The biggest reason why Akechi Mitsuhide was able to convince him to come to Gifu Castle was the Asakura clan's immobile behavior for half a year. However, Oda seems to be no different now.

However, this "brigadier general" was not a stupid person, he did not directly question Nobunaga, but only made some inconspicuous requests on the side, and vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction, such as complaining that the waiter was rude and did not know etiquette, etc. This brings us to another issue – compared to Kyoto or Echizen Ichijoya, Omi is serious

…………

"Ueno Suke, you said that the Rokkaku is already vulnerable to external power, and now it seems to be a little off." Hite, Hazuhide, said leisurely to Yumitsu Numata in the city. Now the three people who can be advisers around him are Kawada, Honda, and Numata, and Matsui Yukan is also a smart person, but after all, he is not an orthodox samurai family, and many affairs are not smooth.

"Your Highness." Numata explained, "Although the Rokkaku family is in decline, Dr. Sakyo (Rokkaku Yoshiken) is a person who is good at wisdom, and there are elite Koga ninjas under his command, so it is only necessary to attack them head-on, but it is not easy to adjust them. ”

Kawada Naga also agreed, but said the opposite: "In my opinion, Oda Hall should have a deeper idea. ”

Fan Xiu shook his head lightly and said to them, "Defeating Rokkaku is only a means, not an end. Then he was about to explain specifically, but at a glance, he saw that Honda Masanobu next to him seemed to be about to say something, so he asked, "What does Yahachiro think?" ”

"This ......," Honda hesitated for a moment, "I do have a little bit of a shallow opinion about what you just said, but I don't dare to say it casually." ”

"Tell me about it."

"It took six or seven years for the Oda family to attack Mino before and after it was completely suppressed, and Omi Rokkaku is even better than Mino Saito." With that, Honda stopped and looked up to ask for instructions.

"Go on!"

"Yes. I heard that the main hall often cares about the Takeda clan of Koshin, so you might as well compare it to Doctor Daizen (Takeda Shingen). Dashan attacked Minami Shinano, and although it was repeatedly defeated, it took ten years to settle down; When attacking Kita-Shinano, although he was defeated by the Murakami clan, he used strategy and incorporated it into his skills in less than five years...... What Your Highness just said means that defeating Rokkaku is just a means, and acquiring Omi Province is the goal. ”

"It's very much to my heart." Fan Xiu praised it. It seems that the focus on training in the past few years is quite effective.

"Your Highness praises falsely, and you are terrified."

Kawada Changqin only realized at this time: "I understand." The main hall's ambition was not only to gain the righteous title of supporting the shogun Kamiraku, but also to bring the countries under his command. Therefore, it is necessary to win with one blow against the Hexagonal lineage, but it is better not to make enemies against the small forces on the periphery......"

"But if you delay Kamiro because of this, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses......" Numata Yumitsu cautiously questioned a little.

This is not a matter of superior judgment, but rather a difference in the philosophies of both sides. In the general direction, the centuries-old feudal manor system has gradually begun to die out, replaced by local princes with a high degree of centralization and institutionalization, and the methods of struggle have gradually changed, although not everyone has noticed this.

Under the influence of Honhide, Kawada, Honda and others subtly got closer to their way of thinking, while Numata, who was an old shogun, naturally thought a little more conservatively.

Fan Xiu didn't say any more, just looked sideways to the west.

"It's time to calculate the time......"

"Your Highness, Nakamura and Hattori are two returns."

Asano Nagayoshi ran in from outside the door at this time.

"Let them in!" Fan Xiu commanded.

。

Hattori Hideyasu and Nakamura Kazushi walked in and bowed down in front of Tsunohide.

"Have you found it all out?"

"Yes."

"When I went to Omi this time, didn't you meet a former acquaintance?"

This is a question for Nakamura.

"If Your Highness wants to recruit ninjas, we still have some ways." Kazuji Nakamura explained, "Although the original Miao character was abandoned, after all, he was born in the Koga Taki family. ”

"If there are people who are good and leisurely, you can pay a little attention to them, and they may be useful in the future."

Then Heite asked for the information carefully, thought for a while, and then ordered them to leave, and then asked Kawada and Numata, "You have all traveled in the area, what do you think of Kamo Dingxiu, the lord of Hino Castle?" ”

"It seems that he is the number one fierce general of the Hexagonal family, and he has always fought as a vanguard, and he has become an important minister by virtue of his military exploits." Numata first honestly stated the most common impressions, and then added, "However, most people ignore that the business around Hino Castle has developed quite a lot of business by him, and the law and order is relatively good. ”

Fan Xiu was noncommittal when he heard this, but just looked at Kawada Changqin: "What else to add?" ”

"This ...... I still remember him as a man who used to use his in-laws to build relationships. Kawada pondered for a moment and replied, "He let his eldest son marry the daughter of the old Goto Kentoyo of the Rokkaku family, and the second and third sons inherited the Aoki and Kogura families respectively, and the two daughters married the Kobe family and the Seki family in Northern Ise, and in this way, he gradually established his own power." ”

"And the iron cannon thing." Numata spoke again, "After the introduction of iron artillery decades ago, the Gamo family established a separate iron cannon workshop, and although the output was not high, it also became a major support for the military. ”

"On the whole, this person is indeed an all-rounder, but the amount of equipment is only one city and one county, and he does not play an auxiliary role in the major politics of the Hexagonal family." Kawada added.

"I don't think so." Fan Xiu shook his head in disagreement, "A well-informed samurai may not be well-versed in strategy, and a wise general who is good at strategy may also be a rough warrior on the outside, but the world confuses these things." ”

These words made the listeners puzzled, but Fan Xiu didn't wait for them to react, but said to himself: "This person is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and he has become a beneficiary in all the changes, this is no accident. Most people have forgotten what happened decades ago, but if you send someone to investigate, you can still find clues. ”

"Oh, Your Highness, what you mean is that as long as the family shows enough strength, he will take the initiative to serve him." Although Honda Masanobu didn't know Omi, he understood it at this time.

Fanxiu displayed the information obtained. Gamo Dingxiu took advantage of the conflict between Rokkaku and the shogunate decades ago to kill his cousin who was inclined to the shogunate and seize his family business. More than ten years ago, he was ordered to attack Ise, but he pulled his colleagues and opponents into the circle of in-laws. A few years ago, the Rokkaku clan was in turmoil, and it was he who came out to clean up the mess and established a prestige almost as high as the main family.

"Yahachi (Honda Masanobu), help me prepare a letter and say hello to Gamo Shimono Moritude."

"This person is cautious, I'm afraid he can't be easily moved." Numata, who was not named, was anxious for them.

"It's not that they turn it back, as long as they can stand on the sidelines, or passively resist." - You can even take a step back, as long as you tie up before they are attached.

"Don't you need to report this matter to the main hall?" Kawada Nagajin wondered. If it had been done privately, I am afraid that it would not have been recorded in the credit book.

"What about this...... Fan Xiu was noncommittal, "Naturally, I want to inform His Highness, but the way I express it should be appropriate, and my intention is not here." ”

Kamo Tadazaburo Fuxiu, although he has comprehensive ability, is not outstanding, but in comparison, his connections in the Azuchi regime are very worth using. At this time, Hiraku was already preparing for an expatriate, and people like Hori Hidemasa and Gamo had to be connected.
