Chapter Eighty-Six: The Last Three Alliances
"Six, six, six, six!" In the pavilion of the casino, Hosokawa Nobumoto played flying chess with Oda Inu, Mochizuki Yuki, and Ii Naotora. There is no way, except for Jing Yi Naohu, the other three are all children, and it is difficult to play evil.
Hosokawa Nobumoto wanted to tease Ii Naoto, but what could he do if he teased? It will only be more frustrating.
"Hmm~~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto deepened his waist, sat for a long time, and was a little tired.
"Bored, by the way, Your Highness, why don't we go to the other side and have a look." Oda dogs are also beginning to lose interest in this kind of childlike thing.
"Huh? Opposite side? Hosokawa Nobumoto was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"It's the one that is against this casino.,What's the yard." Like a curious rabbit, Oda looked at Hosokawa Nobumoto with bright eyes.
"Uh~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't know what to say.
"Madame! It's not a place where we can go. Mochizuki Xue went to the side to relieve the way, but she knew the way there.
"Is there any place we can't go?" The Oda Inu, who has been the jewel of the palm since childhood, has always been responsive to requests, and has never thought about where it is impossible to go.
"Hmm~~ Madam, did you see the scene of a gambler downstairs just now who lost his gambling and sold his sons and daughters?" Mochizuki pointed downstairs and said.
"See, that scene is really sad, even ignoring my own children." Oda nodded, she had never seen this scene before.
"yes, so those kids we bought, the men were trained to be the Deadpools of my Hosokawa family. The women were trained, and some of them were sent to brothels to serve as intelligence agents of their own families, listening to information from all over the world. So, it didn't make sense for us to go, did Madame want to listen to the chattering report? Mochizuki blinked her eyes and asked in surprise.
"Huh? It's so boring, I don't want to listen to it, let's go to the snack street to eat delicious food. Oda Inu didn't want to go when he heard this, and now he was clamoring to go to the snack street again, and Hosokawa Nobumoto, who couldn't resist it, took them to the night market for another night.
In the assessment room of Devon City, the retainers of the Hosokawa family have been waiting for a long time, and now they are getting three poles, and their lord has not yet come to hold a meeting.
Yoshida Sokatsu also sat in the first place and waited in a hurry, but no one dared to disturb the lord, since the battle of Barrel Sasama, Hosokawa Nobumoto's personality has become more and more flamboyant and domineering, and his actions have begun to be arbitrary.
"The lord has arrived!" The little surname Tsurujumaru sang and arrived, and Hosokawa Nobumoto came out of the inner room and sat on the main seat, followed by the little surname Sun Shiro who was holding a knife.
"Greetings, Lord! I wish the Hosokawa family good luck! "Wow, I bowed down to a piece.
"Hmmm! The main purpose of this meeting is to determine the strategy of the family. Hosokawa Nobumoto glanced at the retainers and continued: "The original policy of the family was to disturb the Mikawa Kingdom, but now that the lord has decided to form an alliance with the Matsudaira family, and the Matsudaira family also has this intention, I expect that the alliance between the two families is a foregone conclusion. Now the main family's primary target is the Inuyama Oda family, and the main family has to look farther. Hattori Baocho! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty is here." Hattori quickly bowed his head and drank.
"The direction of the investigation has been changed from Mikawa Country to Mino Country, and we must be meticulous and meticulous, and we must not let go of the slightest clue." Hosokawa Nobumoto gave an order to Hattori Baocho.
"Companion and Lang! The Mikawa country strategy performed well, and he was promoted to the head of the Hidden Mist, enjoying the head of the Ashigaru group, and the eighty ninjas who were assigned to it were merged into the Hidden Mist and handed over to the unified command of Hattori Hanzo. Promoted to Hattori Hanzo as an ashigaru general, the commander of the hidden fog, the task is to be determined. Hosokawa Nobumoto first commended the meritorious people of the Mikawa Raiders, and then promoted Masuda Nagamori, who built Tokubun Castle, to the town.
"Now the main armament of this family is a hundred cavalry teams, and since the loss of soldiers has just been replenished, it is now handed over to Jing Yi Naohu for training, hoping to make meritorious contributions again as soon as possible." As soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto finished speaking, there was a commotion below, and they all guessed the intentions of the lord. A while ago, Tao Qingxian was dismissed and Honda Tadashi was appointed, is it the same this time? It seems that this Ii Naohu is very favored.
Honda Tadakatsu looked indifferent, he felt that as long as there was a battle, it didn't matter who was the general of the cavalry team.
"Quiet!" Sun Shilang stopped him from the side.
"The family's 100 bows are still commanded by Naito Masasari, and the 200 ninja army is commanded by Ideura Morikiyo, ready to go into battle at any time. Do you have any objections? After Hosokawa Nobumoto finished speaking, he looked at the important ministers below.
"No objection to the ministers!" Yoshida Sogui and other important ministers bowed down to obey orders, after all, the armament has not changed much, and Ii Naotora is still in charge of training, as for the ninja army? These are outside the armament and cannot be used as a regular army.
"So be it, you guys do your part, and the meeting ends." Hosokawa Nobumoto ended the assessment with a big wave of his hand.
Soon, I don't know if it was in response to Hosokawa Nobumoto's words, or if history just came to this point. As if he had gone mad suddenly, the Imagawa clan ordered his retainer Ohara Zhenmi to execute many of the hostages of the wealthy clan of Higashimikawa. Originally, it still relied on intimidation, army pacification and other means to suppress the instability of Dongsanhe, but now that the hostages are dead, the wealthy clans no longer need to throw rat traps.
Suddenly there was an uproar in Higashi-Mikawa, and the big and small wealthy families such as Toda, Saigo, and Kannuma rebelled one after another from the Imagawa family, and Matsudaira Motoyasu wanted to wait and see for a while, but now he doesn't have to think about it directly. Without waiting for Ishikawa Shumasa's return visit to reach a preliminary intention, he came to Cheongju in person and signed a contract with Oda Nobunaga for the offensive and defensive alliance, the "Osana Alliance".
Subsequently, Matsudaira Motoyasu returned to Mikawa Province, erected a banner of self-reliance, abandoned the biased "Yuan" character of Imagawa Yoshimoto, changed his name to Matsudaira Ieyasu, and took the opportunity to collect various wealthy families who rebelled from the Imagawa family, and their power grew stronger and stronger.
"Hahahaha! Now that the east road is worry-free, I decided to immediately mobilize the peasants and prepare to attack the Inuyama Oda family. In the assessment room, Oda Nobunaga confidently conveyed his decision to the retainers.
"But my lord, my subordinates haven't succeeded in rebelling against Kuroda Castle Lord Shisuke Wada." Niwa Nagahide hurriedly spoke out to admonish.
"It's okay, it's just a small Inuyama Castle, where the army of my Oda family arrives, it will definitely make it history, it doesn't matter with his help or not, it just so happens that Iwamuro Shigekyu and Oguchi Castle guard Nakajima Toyogo Mamoru are familiar with each other, he has already gone to rebel, and the chance of success should be very high. Now mobilize the peasants and take Inuyama Castle! Oda Nobunaga stood up and gave the mobilization order with confidence.
