The sky gradually brightened, and the flames of Yokoyama Castle gradually went out, and Takeda Shingen had been standing in the middle of the formation and watching Yokoyama Castle slowly engulfed by the fire, as if he had seen the Imagawa family perish in the fiery offensive of the Takeda family.

Just as Sanada Yutaka and the others thought, Takeda Shingen was really, really under pressure. The retainer Iitomi Toramasa committed suicide because of his opposition to his decision, and then forced his eldest son Yoshinobu Takeda to die, who also opposed him. He did not hesitate to make a deal with his old enemy, Kenshin Uesugi, in exchange for his help. He did not hesitate to bear all kinds of notoriety, forcibly reorganized all the wealthy families in his family, and forced them to present their allegiance letters. All this is to conquer the Suruga that haunts his dreams.

Because here, there is the sea that he wants most most, there is thriving commerce, and there is Kyoto's culture. These are all things that Kai and Shinano did not have. Of course, the most important thing is that taking Suruga means that Takeda Shingen has officially taken the first step in Kamiroku.

Although at this time in had the Oda family, which was so powerful that it made Ah feel terrified, Takeda Shingen believed that the person who won the final victory must be him Takeda Shingen!

It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain. This is the method of using military that he realized from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and it is also the concept that implements his life. Although he captured Yokoyama Castle, Takeda Shingen still wouldn't be careless because of this, so after a little rectification, he ordered his troops to continue to attack Sunfu Castle, and he would not give him any chance to turn the tables because he underestimated Imagawa Clan.

On April 30, Oda Nobunaga officially arrived in Kyoto with his army. When he appeared, all the people of Kyoto came to the outside of the town to greet the army, which was in their hearts and could bring them peace. The declared enemies of the Buddha at Honganji Temple and the crusade issued by the shogunate did not make the commoners feel bad for the Oda family, but made them more inclined to the Oda family.

Speaking of which, civilians are the best and the worst to fool. Because real commoners don't care about any faith, imperial power, or anything else, their only concern is who can bring them a truly peaceful and happy life. And apparently, over the years, only the Oda family has given them what they want.

Oda Nobunaga didn't expect these civilians to be enthusiastic about him, and neither did the retainers of the Oda family, nor did he think of Yamashina Yanji, who came to greet Oda Nobunaga. But apparently, this situation made Oda Nobunaga very excited, "Don't worry! All this is but a brief difficulty before peace comes, I! Oda Nobunaga! It will definitely bring true peace to the world! ”

"Whoa, whoa!"

Entering Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga immediately disbanded his troops, first following Yamashina to visit Emperor Shokincho, and then holding an assessment at Myokakuji Temple.

"Zhensheng, Mitsuhide, Monkey, you did a great job this time! I will reward you well! Oda Nobunaga looked at the three of them and said loudly.

"This is what subordinates should do!"

Nodding, Oda Nobunaga then looked at the third prince of Hyakuchi and asked lightly, "Did Ashikaga Yoshiaki run away?" ”

"Yes! According to his subordinates, it should be ......" Hyakchi Santaifu quickly reported everything that happened before and after Ashikaga Yoshiaki's disappearance in detail, for fear that Oda Nobunaga would blame himself for this. "The impostor committed suicide before he was discovered."

"My lord, my subordinates think that there must be other forces to take over Ashikaga Shogun, otherwise, he would not be able to do this on his own." Akechi Mitsuhide, who rushed back immediately after learning that Oda Nobunaga had returned to Kyoto, said loudly.

"Not bad! The subordinates believe that the problem should be the temple where Ashikaga Yoshiaki went to last, and that it is the last and best chance if he wants to drop the bag. And Ashikaga Yoshiaki's appearance in Honganji Temple after his departure also happens to prove this. Kinoshita Hideyoshi also echoed.

"Hmm......" Oda Nobunaga nodded noncommittally when he heard this, then looked at Momochi Santaio and asked, "What about Ashikaga Yoshiaki's wife and child?" ”

"Prince Aikonai seems to have been frightened by the impostor's suicide, and at this time he has been taken back to the Imperial Palace, and his son Tsurumaru has also been taken over." The third wife of Baidi hurriedly said.

"Well, forget it." Oda Nobunaga muttered casually, then looked at everyone and said loudly, "Then now the situation is clear, the Hatano family and the Akai family in Tanba, the Honganji and Araki families in Settsu, the Miyoshi family in Izumi, the group of mercenaries that Kii belongs to Honganji, the Asai family in Omi, and the Asakura family in Echizen!" These forces who don't know whether they are alive or dead think that together they can defeat their own family! But now, they have failed! ”

"Although the betrayal of the Asai family was sudden, it did not cause much damage to the family, and although Honganji Temple and Miyoshi occupied Settsu and Izumi respectively, most of the territory of was still in the hands of the family. So I decided that everyone should immediately return to the territory to prepare and wait for my orders! When Oda Nobunaga said this, his face suddenly became extremely cold, "I must let the people who betrayed me know the fate of doing this!" ”

Well, it was April, but many of the Oda family's retainers still felt a biting cold. Obviously, this was not the weather, but the murderous aura that emanated from Oda Nobunaga's tone. Everyone knew that this time, Oda Nobunaga was really angry. And the object of anger is neither Honganji nor Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but Asai Nagamasa!

Oda Nobunaga is very optimistic about Asai Nagamasa, and in his opinion, Asai Nagamasa is definitely the kind of general who can be entrusted with important tasks. It's just that because the two sides are only allies, Oda Nobunaga is not easy to say in many places. But even so, at events such as the world's first martial arts tournament, Oda Nobunaga never forgot to invite Asai Nagamasa to participate in it. He hoped to use this situation to make Asai Nagamasa feel attached to the Oda family.

In fact, Oda Nobunaga originally planned to clarify the matter with Asai Nagamasa after eliminating the Asakura family, and as long as Asai Nagamasa was willing to submit, Echizen's territory would be his. Pity......

Then again, why did Oda Nobunaga wait a while before sending troops? Since there is no damage, it can be repaired for a few days and directly attack the Asai family.

Hawkers, although Oda Nobunaga didn't say this explicitly, it is obvious that it is impossible for all the retainers of the Oda family not to know the reason, Oda Nobunaga is just waiting for a person, and when he returns, Oda Nobunaga will send troops to take revenge on the Asai family. Because Oda Nobunaga believed that that kid was absolutely the same as himself, and wanted to kill the betrayer of Asai Nagamasa with his own hands.
