Ashikaga Molong didn't wait long, two months later, at the same time that Nagao Keihu successfully quelled the rebellion of the Echigo Yangbei people, Saito Yoshiryu died of illness, Oda Nobunaga immediately took up 24,000 Owari soldiers, and entered Mino again, and the wealthy clans from all over Mino responded to Oda Nobunaga and brought troops to meet him, because everyone knew that this time the Saito family was going to be finished, and it was more to make a statement, so when Oda Nobunaga led the army to Inabayama Castle, the strength had swelled to a terrible 50,000 people, It is the same as when the Ashikaga Molong soldiers came to Odawara Castle. The Saito family, which had not yet settled down, was powerless to resist the Oda Nobunaga's crusading army, and after receiving a letter from Guidie, that is, Saito Yoshiryu's sister, the Saito family sacrificed Inabayama Castle in exchange for preserving the lives of the clansmen, and Oda Nobunaga immediately announced that the city would be moved from Cheongju Castle to Inabayama Castle, and the city was renamed Gifu Castle, and in imitation of Qin Shi Huang's order Li Si to carve the jade seal of the country, engraved with the four characters of the world's Buwu, in order to show the determination to unify the world by force.

It can be said that Ashikaga Molong drove Oda Nobuyuki away from the Oda family in advance, which has brought about a butterfly effect, and Oda Nobunaga, who integrated the Oda family, unified Owari Mino in just two years, defeating the Imagawa family and the Saito family, the two powerful clans, and the speed of rise is almost no less than that of Ashikaga Molong. But Oda Nobunaga's meteoric rise also had an inevitable sequelae: territorial digestion problems. Unlike Ashikaga Molong, who used the battlefield to maximize the power of the wealthy clans and wiped out most of the wealthy clans through after-the-fact liquidation to form a centralized rule, Oda Nobunaga's approach was closer to the convention of this era: to divide and win over the wealthy clans for their own use. He went out to fight several times, almost always losing more than he won, but he always achieved his goal, because he didn't go to the battle itself from the beginning, and it was his code of conduct to get what he wanted. Oda Nobunaga, who has received the allegiance of the Mino family, is actually not very strong in controlling Mino, and if it is really beneficial, they will still sell the Oda family like they sold the Saito family, which Oda Nobunaga knows. And the Owari Hao clan was also dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga, several expeditions were fruitless, greatly depleting the strength of the Owari Hao clan, when they were at their weakest, Oda Nobunaga moved the castle to Gifu City, which undoubtedly made them vomit blood but helpless, because they no longer had the ability to oppose, at least not now.

Oda Nobunaga's rapid rise of light made the surrounding forces feel extremely uneasy, especially the powerful people of Ise Province, who knew very well that there were no allies around the Oda family, only the Missile Country and the Ise Country, but the Missile's land was barren, and it was obviously the Ise Country that was more attractive. However, it was the Echizen Asakura family who took the first action, and after the seventy-year-old Echizen military god Asakura Sotsu realized that the changes in the general trend of the world had been too drastic, in order not to be left behind, Asakura Sotetsu led his army to conquer Kaga despite the strong opposition of the family governor Asakura Yoshikage.

The elderly Asakura Sodrip was dressed in gorgeous armor, holding a worn-out katana with a sheath and a little trembling in front of Asakura Yoshikage, who came to see him off, and carefully looked at Asakura Yoshikyo for a while in Asakura Yoshikage's somewhat embarrassed gaze, and then said slowly: "At present, the rise of Ashikaga Molong in Kanto has the potential to swallow the world, but it is still relatively far away after all, but the threat of Oda Nobunaga and Miyoshi Nagakei is close at hand, although the family has a territory of 750,000 stones, but today it is no longer qualified to fight for the world." So this time, I must lead the army to take Kaga's 440,000 koku, and then the lord must ally with Oda Nobunaga, and the two will join forces to defeat the Rokkaku family and the Miyoshi family in the shortest possible time, and then turn back to face the Ashikaga Moryu's Kamirako army, so that there is a glimmer of life! ”

Asakura Yoshikage, who was dressed in official clothes, was silent for a moment when he heard this, Echizen Province was economically prosperous and culturally prosperous under the efforts of the successive governors of the Asakura family, and many public and cultural people who fled the war from Kyoto poured into Echizen, and Asakura Yoshikage, who had lived in this environment since childhood, had a natural aversion and fear of war. And unlike the Imagawa clan, the Imagawa clan also has the Taiyuan Xuezhai who was also killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, Asakura Yoshikyo has received a public education since he was a child, especially in a peaceful environment when his bones are soaked soft, and even the "Seventeen Articles" family motto left by his father has fallen on deaf ears, which casts a huge shadow on the future of the Asakura family. It can be said that the current defense of the Asakura family mainly relies on Asakura Sodra to maintain it alone, but Asakura Sodra who has reached the twilight of his life is like the katana he holds in his hand, this katana that Asakura Sodra got from his father when he was in the Yuan service has been in tatters for more than 60 years, but he still carefully maintains the blade every day, even if the knife body is covered with scars left by the fight.

"I wish you good luck!" After all, Asakura Yoshikage still didn't say anything bold to respond to Asakura Soya's expectations, he knew very well that the samurai under his command did not love him, and these elites who followed his father to fight with Asakura Sotsu in the south and north would not agree with a family governor like himself who had never been on the battlefield. The Asakura family can be said to have been the leading powerful feudal clan in Hokuriku Province for a long time, but since Asakura Yoshikei inherited the family governor, he has only concentrated on the development of internal affairs, and it can be said that the country is safe and secure, and the number of stone has nearly doubled. However, this greatly damaged the interests of the samurai, and without foreign wars, they would not be able to establish meritorious deeds, and they would not be able to obtain land, and the last time they joined forces with Oda Nobuhide under the leadership of Asakura Munetsu to attack Mino, they failed to reap any benefits in the end, and it made the dissatisfaction of the Echizen samurai with Asakura Yoshikei to a critical point. So this time Asakura Zongdi went out to conquer Echizen is what everyone expects, he is not worried that Asakura Zongdi will fail, Echizen's strong national strength is enough to withstand any defeat, even if Asakura Zongdi is completely annihilated, Asakura Yoshikyo is also confident that he can pull out an army of 20,000 in a short time. However, the times are also changing, and no matter how well Echizen is built, if it cannot develop externally, it will be difficult to defeat the crushing brought by the other side's multinational land. Historically, after Oda Nobunaga took the land of, he repeatedly used troops against Echizen, although the Asakura army was defeated repeatedly, but it was indeed like a small strong energy source to send troops to resist, but in the face of overwhelming national superiority, Oda Nobunaga still defeated the Asakura family.

Asakura Sodra finally took a deep look at Asakura Yoshikage, sighed, turned on his horse, and led an army of 20,000 to attack Kaga. Asakura Sodrip took his descendant, who was also the most elite Tsuruga Army, as the vanguard, and swept through Kaga all the way.

The Kaga province had long been occupied by Ichimune, and after these monks led the peasants to overthrow the samurai rule, they turned themselves into the rulers of the peasants, but under the influence of religious slogans, they mobilized an army of nearly 100,000 people to frantically besiege Asakura Muneto. It's just that these peasants, armed with hoes and sickles and shouting Buddhist slogans, obviously had a hard time breaking through the battle formations of the well-trained Asakura army. Asakura Zongdi used the tactics of cavalry flank assault to easily crush the army of Yizong that attacked like a tsunami, except for a few monks, most of them were actually making heads. This kind of battle is not a difficult thing for the battlefield warrior Asakura Sodra who has never tasted defeat in his life, especially Asakura Sodra has supreme authority within the Asakura army, and he is completely able to order and prohibit it.

After crushing all the way, among the four counties of Kaga, Asakura Sotsu has occupied the second, and the army slaughtered the city and the village all the way, realizing that his life is not long, Asakura Sodra can be said to have no scruples, he does not care about the lives of the people of Kaga Province, nor does he care about the heavy casualties of the Asakura army, so he fought all the way to the core of Kaga Country: Kanazawa Gobo. Kaga Isōmune, who had no way to retreat, put up the most resolute resistance here, and Asakura Munetsu also urged Asakura Yoshikei in the country to continuously mobilize reinforcements to participate in the battle, and the two sides fought a fierce offensive and defensive battle at Kanazawa Gobo for two months. It can be said that in such a tug-of-war, the blood of Kaga and Echizen was almost drained, and although Echizen was a strong country, it was difficult to continue to force the soldiers to attack even with the prestige of Asakura Sotetsu with tens of thousands of casualties. In the end, the exhausted Asakura army retreated from the army, and although the Kaga expedition captured a large amount of land, it was not fully successful after all.
