Chapter 587: Out of the Battle

On April 8, in Kyoto, 80,000 troops gathered here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Countless people in Kyoto stood and watched this grand occasion from a distance, although there were 100,000 people in the Oda family when they went to Luo, but after all, it was just Shangluo, and everyone was more afraid of the Oda army. Now, after two years of stability, the populace of Kyoto has accepted the new ruler.

Azuchi Monthly, Azuchi Treasure Banknotes, Military Parades, Martial Arts Tournaments, and now Azuchi College and Azuchi Hospital. Through this series of measures, the Oda family completely grasped the hearts of the common people of. In particular, the implementation of these two policies, Azuchi Academy and Azuchi Hospital, has had a greater impact than anything else. After all, what could be more important to civilians than access to knowledge and medical care?

In the original, if civilians wanted to learn knowledge, there were basically only three ways, to do business, and to earn countless fortunes to find the secretary to learn. Being a monk, but it is not so easy to become a monk in a monastery, and even if you enter, you may not be able to learn knowledge. In the end, it's time to join the army. Although it is unlikely that a commoner will become a samurai through military exploits, if he can really make some great achievements, he can also become a low-level samurai, and pass it on from generation to generation, maybe he will succeed one day?

And medical? Not to mention, there are only one or two doctors on the territory of a country, and their medical skills are not very good. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the teaching in this era is basically a one-to-one model, and on the other hand, high-level doctors are basically invited back by the daimyo, so how can they have the effort to treat civilians?

Therefore, in the hearts of the common people of, the Oda family is a completely different daimyo from the forces that have informed in the past. And since the Oda family went to Luo, there has been no aggression against civilians at all. This is completely different from the past when a certain force once it went to Luo, it would always let the troops loot for a few days.

Oda Nobunaga slowly walked out of Kyoto Town, followed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Yamashina Kenji. Both of them came spontaneously to send a send-off Oda army. However, this is obviously only a superficial thing, and the real purpose is to prove that this crusade against the Asakura family, the imperial court and the shogunate are on the same line as the Oda family.

"Your Highness Oda, you must win!" A voice suddenly sounded from the side of the street, and then, as if it had been infected, countless civilians began to shout these words.

"Hehe, Lord Oda, it seems that the hearts of the people of the world have gathered on the side of the Oda family." Yamashina Yanji said with a chuckle. On the side, Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't look very good-looking, but he didn't say much.

Oda Nobunaga just smiled and didn't respond to Yamashina's words, because his attention was still focused on the civilians. At this time, Oda Nobunaga's heart echoed with what Oda Yoshinobu had said to him before, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world." ”

Oda Nobunaga didn't know much about it before, but when he saw it, he understood it completely. Because from the eager gaze of these civilians, he felt a tremendous power, enough to make the Oda family sweep the world.

Slowly raising his hand and waving, the shouts of civilians on both sides of the street suddenly became more fervent. The loud noise seemed to overturn the entire Kyoto town, but Oda Nobunaga, who was standing in the middle of the sound, enjoyed it very much. I don't know how long it took, he pressed down with both hands, and in an instant, the sound that was still earth-shattering just now disappeared.

"I, Oda Nobunaga, swear here! It will definitely make the world too peaceful again! Everyone, can live a happy life! After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he strode forward. And behind him, the sound sounded again.

"Tsk, pretending to be a force, don't you say? Lijia. Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga muttering disdainfully, and asked Maeda Toshiya who was standing next to him. It's just that he didn't get a response for a long time, and he turned his head curiously, only to find that the kid was red-faced and wet, and he looked like he was going to cry and didn't dare to cry. "Rub, are you kid?" Oda Yoshinobu muttered angrily, but he didn't say anything more.

Because not only Maeda Toshiie, but also people such as Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie seemed to be deeply shocked by what they saw. If the powerful army and economy made them see the feasibility of the Oda family to unify the world, then the attitude of these civilians at this time completely made them understand that the era of peace seemed to be coming towards them at a rapid pace.

The route of the Oda family's march was from Kyoto, passing through Sakamoto Castle to Kuchigi Valley Castle in Takashima County, and from there to the northeast until Echizen. As mentioned earlier, in order not to embarrass Asai Nagamasa, Oda Nobunaga deliberately took a long detour.

A few days later, the Oda army arrived at Omi Kuchigiya Castle.

"Nagahide, Wakasa will be handed over to you!" Oda Nobunaga turned his head to look at Niwa Nagahide and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured!" Niwa Nagahide replied respectfully and didn't say much. Because in his opinion, the 10,000-strong army attacked Wakasa, and there was the cooperation of the local wealthy clans. If this can't be defeated, then Niwa Nagahide can also live in seclusion directly.

Just when the news of the Oda family's dispatch to Echizen spread rapidly throughout the country, a message came out from Echizen's side, and in an instant, the entire Kanto region was shocked.

"It's time to regain the glory you lost in the past......" Uesugi Kenshin said lightly. On the same day, Uesugi Kenshin officially broke the alliance with the Hojo family on the grounds that the Hojo family's behavior in the Kanto region was angry and resentful, which was an excuse for hearing it. A few days later, Echigo no Ryu commanded 30,000 troops out of Kasuga Mountain Castle and headed straight for Kanto.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for one Uesugi family to shake the entire Kanto region, but what if other Kanto daimyo follow suit? Kanto forces such as Satomi, Satake, and Utsunomiya were dispatched almost simultaneously, constantly attacking the forces belonging to the Hojo family in their country.

And before the people could digest the news, Kai's tiger also took action, and Takeda Shingen raised 30,000 troops to Suruga, and there was a great momentum to swallow Suruga in one go.

Odawara Castle.

"Bastard Kenshin Uesugi! Sure enough, it's not credible at all! What kind of righteousness does he still flaunt! Hojo roared angrily. The Hojo family's small actions in the Kanto region had already found out, but they didn't care about it at that time. After all, the Hojo family has been crisscrossing the Kanto region for decades, which time has it been defeated by the Kanto heroes? Well, even if there is, the Hojo family will be able to fight back quickly.

But this time, Kenshin Uesugi is here again, and everything is obviously different. You must know that the last time Uesugi Kenshin sent troops to Kanto, it was completely unstoppable, although in the end it was retreated because of the solidity of Odawara Castle, but the main reason for that time was that the Takeda family sent troops to Echigo. And now, Uesugi Kenshin has just sent troops to Kanto, and Takeda Shingen has attacked Suruga, and if there is no deal between them, no one will believe it at all.

"Okay, don't say it's useless, look at this posture, the tiger and the dragon are obviously colluding." Hojo said with a gloomy face. In the past few years, he has gradually and completely delegated power to the Hojo clan, and the reason is very simple, his health has become worse and worse. But at this time, as the former governor of the Hojo family, he is known as the master of the Sagami lion, so it is naturally impossible not to appear.

"What does that father mean......" Hojo Clan Masayan calmed down a little, and then turned his head to look at Hojo Clan Yasu and asked.

"Stay out of the edge for a while!" Hojo said lightly. Hawkers, although it may sound like a bit of a strategy, but to put it bluntly, it's to defend Odawara Castle. After all, this is what they are best at. The Hojo family has encountered numerous crises in history, but each time, it was Odawara that won the final victory thanks to the world's strongest city. Whether it is the dragon of Echigo or the tiger of Kai, the only ending in front of this fortified city is the word retreat.

Hearing this, although the Hojo clan was unwilling, he also knew that his father was right. You must know that almost the entire Kanto group is now responding to Uesugi Kenshin, although the strength of the army is unknown for the time being, but there is no need to think about it at all, and the Hojo clan also knows that it is not something that the Hojo family can compete with at all.

Well...... They seem to have forgotten something, right? Of course, I didn't forget that the Hojo clan sent a retainer to Suruga to inform the Imagawa clan of their decision. And although the Imagawa family didn't expect that Uesugi Kenshin would also intervene, they were also ready to face the Takeda family alone.

"Your Highness......" Hayakawa looked at the Imagawa clan and stopped talking.

"Okay, Hayakawa, don't say it anymore, if you surrender directly without fighting, what face will I have to see my father and them after I die?" Imagawa said with a wave of his hand. He knew what Hayakawa was going to say, and in fact, after hearing the news that the Uesugi family had sent troops to Kanto, he had the same idea at that moment, that is, to immediately surrender the Oda family and ask the Oda family to support him.

It's just that he really doesn't want to surrender to his former enemies like this, and what is the purpose of the efforts he has been making all these years? Isn't it just to revive the Imagawa family? And now, isn't that the best opportunity? Just repel the Takeda family......

Seeing Imagawa's firm eyes, Hayakawa knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she just looked at Imagawa Shin with a smile and said, "The concubine will always stand behind His Highness." ”

"Hmm." Imagawa nodded, and looked down at the map on the desk again. Above, a castle is painted with a red circle, which is the Yokoyama Castle that repelled the Takeda army in the past. After reaching a tacit understanding with the Oda family, Yokoyama Castle became the only castle that the Imagawa clan was constantly strengthening, and at this time, this castle was already different.

Takeda Shingen...... The last time I was able to knock you off, now ...... The same can be done! Imagawa thought to himself.
