Shioshi Castle, where the Akamatsu family has lived for generations, but at this time, the flag of the Oda family and the flag of Hashiba Hideyoshi are flying everywhere outside the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the castle tower, Hideyoshi Hashiba sat on top of the throne, and Yoshisuke Akamatsu led his retainers to bow down below. On the side, he was doing a small temple with a blank face.

"Your Highness Akamatsu, thank you for choosing to submit to this family and allowing the two families to avoid a needless war. Here, thank you in advance, Your Highness! Hashiba Hideyoshi bowed to Yoshisuke Akamatsu with a very formal courtesy.

Hearing this, Akamatsu Yoshisuke was immediately mocking himself because of Hashiba Hideyoshi, but when he saw the serious expression on Hashiba Hideyoshi's face and sincere eyes, he didn't know why, and the anger in his heart disappeared all of a sudden. But Yoshisuke Akamatsu didn't say anything, and in fact he didn't know what to say.

What he can say and what he can't say, he has already told Kotera Takataka, and now that things have developed like this, he really doesn't have too many ideas.

"Your Highness Akamatsu, what do you think of your eldest son being sent to study at Azuchi Academy?" Hideyoshi Hashiba asked in a consultative tone.

"Then thank you, Lord Yuchai!" Akamatsu Yoshisuke responded when he heard this, but his tone regained some vitality.

Hearing this, Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded and said, "I know that there is still a trace of unwillingness in the heart of Lord Akamatsu, but I believe that in the future, you will definitely think how wise today's decision is!" Surrender is not a shameful thing, and leading the family to perdition is the real sin of the patriarch! ”

"Yes......" Yoshisuke Akamatsu replied in a low voice, what else could he say? Success and defeat are nothing more than that.

Sending someone to send Akamatsu Yoshisuke and the others down to rest, Yushiba Hideyoshi turned his head to look at Koji Takataka and praised, "Takaka, this time to win Harima, you should take the first credit!" ”

"Don't forget the ...... of Masahide Akamatsu," Kotera Takataka reminded in a respectful voice.

"Haha! Of course, I won't forget! But come to think of it, Akamatsu Masahide at this time is already stupid, right? Hideyoshi Hashiba laughed.

Well...... This kid seems to be a little inflated? But it's normal for this to happen, after all, most of Harima was taken down with almost no soldiers, and even if it swelled, it seemed to be a matter of course. However, Hideyoshi Hashiba did not get complacent for long, and soon, he and Kodera Takataka, Hashiba Hidenaga and Wasuka Masakatsu studied how to deal with Akamatsu Masahide.

But strictly speaking, there really isn't anything to study about this kind of thing, and when the Akamatsu, Kotera, Bessho, and Yushiba quadripartite coalition forces killed Akamatsu Masahide's Guanye Castle, Akamatsu Masahide was very happy to seppuku. Surrender? Of course he thought about it, but he didn't think that Hideyoshi Hashiba, who had already accepted Yoshisuke Akamatsu's submission, would accept his submission.

And after Akamatsu Masahide cut his stomach, his retainers surrendered to Hashiba Hideyoshi one after another. Three days later, Hideyoshi Hashiba left Hidecho Hashiba and others to go to Mino alone to resume his life.

"Monkey! I should have said that no troops should be used in the territory this year, right?! Oda Nobunaga looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba and said angrily.

"Yes, but ......" Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Oda Nobunaga cautiously, trying to justify, "but the subordinates think that the Urakami family's invasion of Harima is really a golden opportunity, so ......" In the end, Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly bowed to the ground, and said in a trembling tone, "Please atone for your sins!" ”

"Haha~ Monkey, monkey, you, who are about to become the lord of Harima Country, can't still look like this!" Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga immediately laughed.

Hearing this, Yushiba Hideyoshi realized that he was being tricked by Oda Nobunaga, and quickly straightened up and patted his ass, "The monkey knows that the lord will never punish the monkey for this kind of thing~"

"Humph! You guys, if you don't learn from the good ones, you can learn from that kid of Yixin. Oda Nobunaga muttered angrily, it seems that he is not pretending to be there.

However, Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't care about Oda Nobunaga's anger, but noticed the information revealed in Oda Nobunaga's words, "What do you mean, my lord, ......?"

"Humph! In addition to you, the three guys of Mitsuhide, Nagahide, and Katsuya couldn't help it, and began to attack Tanba, Tango, and Echizen respectively. Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly.

"I see, ......," Hashiba Hideyoshi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It turned out that there were still people who had a plan for him, and thinking of this, Yushiba Hideyoshi's last worry was also put down. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, because he was the first retainer to complete Oda Nobunaga's mission.

Well? Yoshinobu Oda? Well, since a long, long time ago, no retainer of the Oda family would compare with Oda Yoshinobu.

"Monkey, are you relieved?" The keen Oda Nobunaga noticed the change in Hashiba Hideyoshi, and immediately asked angrily.

"Nope! Absolutely nothing! The monkey is reflecting on his own recklessness! Hearing this, Yushiba Hideyoshi quickly shook his head and explained.

"Humph! , take care of Harima. I reckon it won't be long before a big war breaks out on your side. Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, and then gave the order to expel the guest.

"Yes!" When Yushiba Hideyoshi heard this, he immediately fled as if he had been pardoned. Although he already knew that Oda Nobunaga would not punish him, Hideyoshi Hashiba was still full of fear. Because as he grew older, the majesty on Oda Nobunaga's body became heavier and heavier.

"The big war? And the Maori family? After leaving Gifu Castle, Hideyoshi Hashiba thought to himself, "Even if it's a Maori family, I'll defeat it and prove to the world that I'm no worse than anyone else!" Hideyoshi Hashiba secretly made up his mind.

And as Oda Nobunaga said, the news that Hashiba Hideyoshi sent troops to Harima made the important ministers of the Oda family, who had long been a little impatient because Oda Yoshinobu took Kii Province, finally let go. Akechi Mitsuhide united Akai and Shiokei to send troops to the Hatano family, while Niwa Nagahide directly led his army to attack Tango Kenbu Mountain Castle after failing to persuade the Isshiki family to surrender, while Shibata Katsuie was ready to sweep away all the Ichizen Ichino forces in one go.

Of course, they honestly asked Oda Nobunaga before sending out the troops, and Oda Nobunaga naturally would not disagree. However, while allowing them to send troops, Oda Nobunaga sent people to Osaka Castle to teach Oda Yoshinobu a severe lesson.

"Until you get my order, you kid is absolutely not allowed to use another soldier!" Oda Nobutada looked at Oda Yoshinobu cautiously and said, after finishing speaking, he hurriedly added, "Uncle, this is what my father asked my nephew to tell you word for word, don't blame my nephew......"
