Chapter 309: Oda Gozen
"Dr. Takeda Daizen personally led the army out this time, and now the Takeda family has mobilized the troops of Kai, Enoe, and part of Suruga and Minami Shinano, totaling more than 23,000. The purpose is the Tokugawa family of Mikawa. Yamazaki Hidesen handed the information gathered by Takejaku to Asada.
"What?! Dr. Takeda Daizen instigated the countrymen of Echichu and Noto and Kaga Isōmune to invade Noto just to attack the Tokugawa family in Mikawa?! Asadaki couldn't understand why Takeda Shingen went to such great lengths to attack Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was entrenched in Mikawa.
"I'm afraid that Dr. Takeda Daizen has lost his patience with what the Tokugawa family has done. In the period since the Tokugawa family and the main family concluded an offensive and defensive alliance, Tokugawa Mikawa Mamoru has continuously sent ninjas to sabotage and spy in the Takeda family's territory, and almost every half month, he has to send troops to attack the border of Minami Shinano and Enoe. If Dr. Takeda Daizen continues to turn a blind eye to this, it is very likely that the countrymen lords of Enoe and Minami Shinano will fall to the Tokugawa family. Hidesen Yamazaki analyzed.
"It's also a good thing for the family. Nagao Toe Mamoru who was causing chaos in Echigo would therefore be left alone. The rebellion initiated by the lords of Noto, Vietnam, and China, such as the lords, ronin, and Ichijo sect believers, will soon be suppressed by the bullets. It seems that Dr. Takeda Daizen wants to complete the hegemony from Tokaido Kamiro. Once the Tokugawa family was destroyed by him, the relationship between the Oda family and the Takeda family would not continue to be close. Chaoding instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
"What the lord said is extremely true, Oda Kamisuke is now launching an invasion of Shima, and if he hears the news that the Takeda family intends to destroy the Tokugawa family at this time, he will definitely be surprised." Yamazaki said with a smile.
"If Oda Kamisuke really had peace of mind about the Takeda family, he wouldn't have built branch castles in Mino's Takei County, Katomu County, and other places." Chao Ding nodded.
"My lord, it seems that it is time to resume communication with the Oda family." Hidesen Yamazaki immediately spoke to Asada.
"Well, there's one person who is the most suitable." Asada instantly thought of the Oda Inu, who had been snubbed by himself for a long time, and asked her to write a letter to Oda Nobunaga.
Afterwards, Asada immediately went to visit the Oda Inu, who he had been neglecting for a long time.
"See Your Highness as a concubine." Oda Inu was working on small sleeves, and as soon as he saw Asada walking in, he immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Inu, are you still used to living in Musashi?" Asada did not intend to go straight to the point and ask Oda Inu to write a letter to Oda Nobunaga to persuade his prodigal son to turn back.
"Just like when I was in Owari, I couldn't see the sea." Oda replied simply and clearly.
"Oh." Chaoding nodded and sat down next to the Oda Inu, and took several of the Oda Inu's maids away.
"Why did Your Highness think of coming to see Ah Dog now?" Oda Inu has been snubbed by Asada since Oda Nobunaga became close to the Takeda family, and the arrival of Asadaki at this time made Oda Inu a little uncomfortable.
"There's one thing I'd like to ask you to accomplish this time." Chao Ding said solemnly.
"Oh? Your Highness, please speak, the concubine will do the same. Oda Inu agreed without thinking about it, she knew her situation very well, and she would no longer be left out in the cold if she helped Asada get things done.
"Now that the Tokugawa family in Mikawa is about to be invaded by the Takeda family, I hope that Oda Kamisuke will be on the side of the Tokugawa family. Once the Tokugawa family is destroyed by the Takeda family, then the next one will definitely be the turn of the Oda family. I hope Oda Kamisuke knows the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Chao Ding pretended to be helpless.
"My brother sent someone to inform the concubine a few months ago, asking the concubine to think more about the Oda family and continue to maintain the Takeo alliance as much as possible." Oda Inu then said a piece of news that made Asadachi a little unhappy.
"Oh? Oda Sosuke still thinks like this? He even remembered the relationship with the Uesugi family or an alliance? Asada couldn't help but laugh after listening to Oda Inu's words.
"Why is Your Highness laughing? Isn't this normal? Is there anything wrong with the two companies being supposed to maintain an alliance? "Oda didn't understand why Asadashi was laughing.
"You probably don't know what Oda Sosuke and the Oda family have done in the past few years. Oda Sosuke first became friendly with the Takeda family, and married his adopted daughter to the fourth man, Takeda Shiro Katsuyori, who was a doctor of Takeda Daizen. After that, he also actively participated in the war in Hokuriku, and took in a group of former ministers of the Hatakeyama family and supported their counterattack on Notokoku. One of the above two things is enough for the two families to sever their alliance. Oda Kamisuke still wants to continue to maintain the Takeo Alliance? It's so funny, he can only deceive a sister like you. Chao Ding shook his head and said.
"This ······ How could it be ······" Oda Inu stopped talking after listening to Asada's words, she didn't know that things had developed to this point, and Oda Nobunaga didn't take her sister to heart at all, and acted recklessly.
"According to the news from Kyoto Wise Hinata Mamoru that after Oda Uesuke married his sister-in-law Oda Ichi to the young and promising governor of the Asai family, Asai Bizen Maomasa Mamoru Nagamasa, he attached great importance to the relationship between the Oda family and the Asai family, and even sent troops to help the Asai family regain the lost territory of Minami Omi." After Asadachi finished speaking, he hugged the Oda dog in his arms.
"Your Highness, since the Oda family has regarded Ah Dog as a useless person, you should continue to ignore Ah Dog's existence or leave your concubine." The Oda dog wanted to cry at this time. She is obviously the daughter of the Oda family, why is Oda City, who is not as a concubine, valued, which makes Oda Dog completely unacceptable. Not only that, but the Oda family even came to greet them with letters that interrupted from time to time.
"Just because you've been out of favor for a long time doesn't mean you'll fall out of favor forever. The Oda family has done bad things with the Uesugi family one after another, and it is only a matter of time before the family breaks off relations with the Oda family or fights each other, so how can they divorce you? Some time ago, the Asakura family of Echizen concluded an alliance with the Steward, and sent troops to Kaga to relieve a lot of pressure on the Steward. The Oda clan was originally born in Echizen, and you should give birth to a boy as soon as possible and inherit the Echizen Oda domain in the future. Asada immediately pointed out a clear path for the Oda dog. In fact, it was mainly Asakura Yoshikei who gave his daughter to Kenshin as an adopted daughter, and he hoped that the Uesugi family would also send a child to the Asakura family to be the adopted son of an important minister.
"The concubine will definitely serve His Highness well, and the elder brother will write to him as soon as possible to explain the stakes. If he continues to be obsessed, the concubine will have nothing to do with the Oda family. Oda said with a nod.
"Then please. I've been tired of dealing with things and preparing for Kyohime and Kibei's wedding in the last few days, so I'm going to rest with you today. Chao Ding said after stretching his waist.
"Yes, the concubine understands." Oda immediately helped Asada take off his coat. She knows very well that now the Oda family and the Uesugi family are at odds, and she has fallen out of favor for a long time, so she can only rely on herself to win the attention of the court. Mothers value their sons, as long as they give birth to boys, their status will rise, so why not?
In this way, Chaoding spent a good night with the Oda dog with a face like peach blossoms, eyes like red and pink, and hair like willow silk blowing in the wind······
On October 5, Hachiro Ida, the defender of Eagle's Nest Castle and the former lord of Ida Castle, was rebelled by the Uesugi army, and he immediately surrendered Nishinomaru and acted as the vanguard of the Uesugi army to attack the Ita army.
Originally, Ida Hachiro defected to Yida Guangqing because Yida Guangqing had promised to help him return to his old territory, but later Yida Guangqing repented and refused to even treat him with courtesy. Hachiro Ida held a grudge, and when he saw that Eagle's Nest Castle had been completely isolated and there were no reinforcements at all, he had no choice but to start contacting the Uesugi army.
With the occupation of Nishinomaru in Eagle's Nest City by the Uesugi army, Ita Mitsukei could no longer hold on. Soon, Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and Kitanomaru of Eagle's Nest Castle fell under the onslaught of the Uesugi army. Just when Ita Mitsukei was about to stick to Honmaru and prepare to continue to resist stubbornly, Ninomaru's Uesugi Army threw two heads into Honmaru. After Ida Mitsukei looked at it, he no longer had the heart to resist, because the two heads were none other than the two brothers Takada Ubei Zuo and Takada Uemon. Subsequently, Mitsukei Ita committed suicide at the cost of seppuku in exchange for the lives of the dozens of remaining defenders in Honmaru.
However, Ita Mitsukei committed suicide with his front foot and opened the gate of Honmaru, and Ida Hachiro led his troops to rush in. Ida Hachiro was unwilling to end the battle like this, so he immediately ordered all the family members and remaining retainers and defenders of Ita Mitsukei to be killed, leaving no one behind, and using this as his own military exploits.
After learning that Hachiro Ida had wantonly killed the defenders who had surrendered, Hachiro Ida and forty of his retainers of the Lang Party were beheaded in public, and reported the matter to Asada.
