Owari Province, Kiyoshu Castle, is the choke point connecting the Tokaido and the region, merchants and merchants come and go, so the scale of the castle town, the entire Kanto is rarely matched, in the Oda Nobuhide period, for the Oda family to provide a steady stream of financial support, so that the original small land of the Owari country, but also effortlessly pull out 20,000 troops with the Imagawa family, Saito family hegemony. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this time, the castle town of Cheongju Castle was quite deserted, the tall and thick walls were covered with bloody arrow feathers, and the tired ashigaru people struggled to throw the corpses off the castle walls, and then there were temporarily recruited peasants to haul carts to transport the corpses to the suburbs for burial to prevent the plague.

Oda Nobunaga, whose eyes were bloodshot, rode on the horse of the god and followed the blood-stained path into the castle in the center of Owari. Not long ago, Oda Nobunaga's suppression of the rebellion was unsuccessful, and although he had the advantage in troops, he ended up in a bitter battle, and the young and vigorous Oda Nobunaga had to order a boycott and make peace, so that Imagawa Yoshimoto successfully obtained the bridgehead into Owari. This battle made Oda Nobunaga's reputation in the Oda family even worse, and Owari even replaced Oda Nobunaga's real name in many places. Oda Nobunaga, who was unfavorably disadvantaged, not only did not have any shame, but continued to drink and sing heavily, making more people disdain him. But only in the dead of night would Oda Nobunaga silently get up from his bed and look at the waterwheel in the courtyard with a lonely expression. Just when everyone was extremely contemptuous of Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga made a move that shocked everyone: attack Cheongshu City!

Kiyoshu Castle was not only the center of Owari Province, but also the first male castle of Owari Province, and Oda Nobutomo, who was entrenched in Kiyoshu Castle, had three times the number of troops in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, and according to common sense, Oda Nobunaga had no hope of victory at all. However, Oda Nobunaga took advantage of everyone's contempt for him to make Oda Nobutomo relax his guard, and at the same time colluded with his uncle Oda Nobumitsu, so that Oda Nobumitsu superficially surrendered to each other and lived in Kiyoshu Castle.

Hearing that Oda Nobunaga led his army close to his territory, Oda Nobutomo almost thought that he had heard it wrong, but when he heard the news that the other party was out to hunt, Oda Nobuntomo, who had already looked down on Oda Nobunaga, did not take the other party to heart. However, Oda Nobunaga's move also aroused Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, so he simply sent troops to behead Oda Nobunaga on the spot under the pretext of greeting him. Unexpectedly, Oda Nobunaga was originally coming for himself, as soon as they met, the generals under the command of Oda Nobunaga had just come out to greet him, Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, and a row of iron artillery had already blasted out, and Oda Nobunaga's army was caught off guard and suddenly became chaotic. How could Oda Nobunaga miss the opportunity, taking advantage of the confusion caused by the bombardment of many generals on the other side when they came out to greet him, he personally led the army to rush forward and crushed the main force of the entire Oda Nobunami army in one fell swoop.

Oda Nobunaga was beaten down with a cold move, Oda Nobutomo had an unreal feeling, but the defeat was like a mountain, he didn't dare to stay where he was, and used his head to test whether Oda Nobunaga's knife was sharp enough, and quickly turned the horse's head and retreated towards Qingzhou City under the support of the side.

Although he was attacked by Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobutomo was not hurt to the root, the samurai's losses were almost negligible, and the large number of peasant soldiers was completely out of Oda Nobuyo's consideration, as long as he still had Cheongju Castle, there was a steady stream of gold and silver to recruit a large number of peasant soldiers. However, there were too many peasants, and after the battle formation was disrupted, even the samurai had no way to stop the counterattack, so they had to retreat towards Cheongju Castle.

But after Oda Nobutomo withdrew to Cheongju City, the heart that had been put down was instantly half cold: Oda Nobumitsu made a mess! The morale of the army, which was originally turbulent because of the defeat of Oda Nobunaga, collapsed directly under Oda Nobumitsu's fire and spreading rumors. By the time Oda Nobunaga led his army to the slaughter, the castle of Kiyosu was completely in chaos. However, despite the collapse of Oda Nobuntomo's army, most of the samurai were still there, and the sporadic resistance was very resolute, causing huge casualties to Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobumitsu, but in the end, he succeeded in killing Oda Nobutomo. When the samurai who were still resisting learned that Oda Nobutomo had been beheaded, they also lost their will to fight and surrendered to Oda Nobunaga.

In this way, the big fool of Owari, who was looked down upon by everyone, completed the counterattack almost overnight, and the power of Oda Nobunaga, who seized Kiyoshu City, expanded several times at once, plus there was a layer of interest in dividing up Oda Nobuyomo's legacy, and the Oda family was powerful, and Oda Nobumitsu also stood on Oda Nobunaga's side. Imagawa Yoshimoto almost fell asleep, and as soon as he woke up, he found that Owari Kuni had changed......

After learning that Oda Nobunaga had completed a miraculous counterattack, Imagawa Yoshimoto was immediately not calm, and immediately ordered to summon the important ministers of the Imagawa family to discuss the matter of sending troops to Owari. Over the years, for the affairs of the Tsukahara family and the Hojo family, the Imagawa family had to send a large army to the east many times, although it was also digesting the territory of Mikawa Province, but the penetration of Owari Province was somewhat slowed down, and I didn't expect to give Oda Nobunaga a chance to grow up. This made both Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Yukisai quite annoyed.

The movements of the Imagawa family were soon fed back to Oda Nobunaga's side, watching the Imagawa family's terrifying war machine gradually wake up, and Oda Nobunaga, who had just obtained Kiyoshu Castle, also felt a lot of pressure, but Oda Nobunaga couldn't cry or laugh, and his father-in-law, Saito Michizo, immediately wrote a letter after learning of the Imagawa family's changes. On the one hand, he resolutely supported Oda Nobunaga's position as the family governor, and on the other hand, he patted his chest and promised that as long as the Imagawa army dared to attack Owari, he would immediately support Mino's 20,000 troops south!

If you don't know the character of the three people of Saito Road, when you see this letter, you will definitely sigh that Oda Nobunaga has a good father-in-law, but Oda Nobunaga, who is familiar with the other party's urine, has a stomachache, and he knows that his father-in-law, who has domineering titles such as "Mino Pit Viper" and "National Thief", actually wants to kill his virtuous son-in-law all the time, so as to seize the anointed land of Owari. If you really let the Saito army enter Owari, it is estimated that it will not leave......

For today's plan, I had to find a way to drag down the Imagawa family and buy time as much as possible for my own unification of the entire Owari country, the Takeda family and the Hojo family are unreliable, and the news of their alliance with the Imagawa family has been very loud recently, and they may even have formed an alliance, so they must rely on Tsukahara Molong to exert pressure.

Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga pondered for a moment and said to Maeda Toshiie: "Inuchiyo, immediately send someone to summon important ministers, I will hold an evaluation meeting in Cheongshu City." ”

If Oda Nobunaga held an assessment meeting before the capture of Kiyoshu Castle, few people would pay attention to it, and they would find all kinds of excuses to shirk it, but Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on Kiyoshu Castle and Nakono Castle, was already one of the strongest forces in the four prefectures of Owari at this time, and after weighing it for a while, the important ministers of the Oda family left the territory one after another and went straight to Kiyoshu Castle.
