Chapter 124: The Storm is Coming
The third year of Yonglu, in the eyes of many people, is a fairly ordinary year, still war, war, war...... But in the eyes of Oda Yoshinobu, this was a turning point for the Warring States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause in this year, Imagawa Yoshimoto, the governor of the Imagawa family, was killed by a surprise attack by Oda Nobunaga in the barrel narrow. From then on, Oda Nobunaga officially opened his path to hegemony in the Warring States.
Hawkers, many people may think that the capture of Mino is a sign of Oda Nobunaga's rise, and the Great Seal of [Tianxia Bubu] was also activated at that time. But think about it carefully, if Imagawa Yoshimoto hadn't died, would Oda Nobunaga have a chance to attack Mino? Well, if it goes on any longer, I'm afraid it will become a theory of luck again. Let's get down to business.
At the training ground of Guno City, Oda Yoshinobu silently watched the situation off the field, where Maeda Keiji, Shiraki Yukihisa, and Shima Sakumi were playing 3V100 dramas.
During the battle, Maeda Keiji's violent attack, Shiraki Yuki's swift slash, and Shimazuo's unrevealing attack and defense made the Grim Reaper helpless. But even so, the Reaper still maintained a stable formation, constantly launching a tidal wave of attacks against the three of them.
"It's okay!" When the battle was over, Oda Yoshinobu stood up, clapped his hands and said.
"Lord, they have already forced Qingji and them to this extent, but they are just okay?" Li Huamei, who was on the side, heard Oda Yoshinobu's evaluation, and was immediately dissatisfied.
Although she didn't know how Shiraki Yukihisa trained these Grim Reapers, she knew that at the beginning, this group of people was just relatively strong ordinary civilians. And now, it is a miracle that they have forced Keiji and them to be completely unable to stay.
You must know that the martial arts of the three of Maeda Keiji have reached a very terrifying point over the years, at least in Li Huamei's eyes, even the weakest Shima Zuojin is much stronger than the Maeda Toshiya. Together, most of the troops with only 100 people are unlikely to be opponents.
And the most important thing is that from beginning to end, even if all of them were "killed in battle", the Grim Reapers did not make even a single sound. This request was made by Oda Yoshinobu on the premise, and the original sentence roughly meant, "If you have the strength to shout, it is better to keep and cut people." At first, everyone thought that Oda Yoshinobu was just talking casually, after all, in these years, the momentum is all about shouting.
But no one thought that it was really practiced by Bai Mu Xingjiu, and I don't know if it was because he was the cause of facial paralysis?
But no matter what, in Li Huamei's eyes, even if this Grim Reaper is thrown into the Ming Kingdom, it can be regarded as an elite squad. Well, it can only be considered a squad, after all, 100 people.
"They can't stop ......me," Yoshinobu Oda said softly.
"Lord, who in this world can beat you?" Li Huamei rolled her eyes and said helplessly.
In other words, since the evil way killed the god halberd, although Oda Yoshinobu has not increased much in force, the actual combat effect has more than doubled. After all, no matter how awesome swordsmanship is, it is not the most suitable killing technique on the battlefield after all.
And 150 pounds of halberd...... I don't know how many times, but every time I saw Oda Yoshinobu wielding the halberd and smashing it randomly, Li Huamei habitually mourned in silence for the enemy who died under the god-killing halberd in the future.
Ahem, Oda Yoshinobu really doesn't know how to use halberds, but this doesn't prevent him from playing halberds very slippery, after all, everything is reasonable, and they are all murder techniques, and many places are common. It's just that Oda Yoshinobu felt that when facing small soldiers, this method of directly smashing over was more appropriate......
Hearing Li Huamei's words, Oda Yoshinobu looked into the distance and whispered, "Over there, there is a very powerful enemy......
There, is the location of the Three Rivers.
Although Oda Yoshinobu can't remember the Japanese era name, the third year of Yongroku is one of the Japanese era names he remembers most clearly. The other is the tenth year of Tianzheng. In this year, under the decisive raid of Oda Nobunaga, he defeated the Imagawa family, which had nearly 10 times the number of troops and his own side, under completely impossible circumstances, and Oda Nobunaga officially laid the road to world domination.
And in reality, is this also the case? Oda Yoshinobu didn't know, but if he had a choice, he would never want to repeat the Barrel Sasama Raid.
Because in his opinion, the Barrel Narrow Surprise Attack is simply an accidental battle that cannot be replicated. The exposure of Imagawa Yoshimoto's resting place, the sudden heavy rain and, of course, the desperate raid of Oda Nobunaga. Without any of them, the Oda family would be defeated in this war. It can even be said that if Imagawa Yoshimoto reacts quickly and escapes, then Oda Nobunaga will definitely be besieged and killed.
Although it is said that there is one more self in this era, Oda Yoshinobu is just a mortal after all, 1v10,000 is unrealistic, and there are more than 10,000 troops. And in Oda Yoshinobu's view, if the war really requires him to go 1v10,000, it is no different from losing.
Therefore, he is now practicing death almost every day, and if nothing goes wrong, he will practice to death. Fortunately, the Reaper have long been numbed by all kinds of brainwashing, otherwise this group of guys would have rebelled long ago.
"Imagawa family? Could it be that the lord thinks that the Imagawa family will make a big move in the near future? Li Huamei followed Oda Yoshinobu's gaze and suddenly realized something in her heart. She has always been a very smart woman, and she has long sensed that something is wrong with Oda Yoshinobu.
Cheongju City.
Oda Yoshinobu silently looked at the information in his hand, his expression was very serious. In front of him, Oda Nobunaga also had a serious look, "This is the information that was just sent yesterday, and there are many people in Ise Jingu who have started to sell weapons and food to the Imagawa family in large quantities." ā
"Aren't they afraid that their family will trouble them?" Oda Yoshinobu put down the information and asked with a puzzled expression.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga shook his head slowly, "Although it is true that the Ise Jingu side has good cooperation with the merchants of Tsushima, after all, they are different from the people of Tsushima and only belong to the Ise Jingu. If Imagawa Yoshimoto spends a lot of money, those palace masters will definitely be tempted. ā
"Humph! See the money-eyed bastard! Oda Yoshinobu snorted coldly. Food and weapons are definitely controlled commodities in this troubled world. Since the time of Oda Nobuhide, the merchants under Ise Jingu have been doing business with the merchants of Tsushima, and behind the Tsushima people is the Oda family, and it is obviously impossible for Ise Jingu not to know. But now......
"Businessmen pursue profits, not to mention that the power of the Imagawa family is much stronger than the main family." Oda Nobunaga sighed.
"And what are you going to do?" Yoshinobu Oda asked.
"I've sent Sheng Zhong to Narumi to defend it, and I'm going to build 5 or 6 castles near Narumi and Dataka." Oda Nobunaga replied.
"Hmm...... Cut off the connection between Odakajo Castle and the outside world, and by the way, strengthen the defense of Tsushima and Atsuta? Oda Yoshinobu thought about it and guessed Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.
"Oh? You guessed it? Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"Cut, Hua Mei mentioned this matter to me before." Oda Yoshinobu said unhappily.
"No wonder...... Tsk, you really have a good retainer~" Oda Nobunaga said in a strange voice.
"Envy, huh? If you have the ability, you can find one~" Oda Yoshinobu glanced at Oda Nobunaga, and then said worriedly, "Buying a lot of food and weapons, and at the same time constantly taking in homeless people, Imagawa Yoshimoto seems to be planning to play a big game......"
"Well, according to Kasei's investigation, if Imagawa Yoshimoto really mobilizes desperately, I am afraid that it can reach more than 20,000 people......" Oda Nobunaga said with a heavy face.
20,000 people, in this era, that is an incredible number, you must know that even during the Onin Rebellion, the Eastern Army, which had the largest number of troops, was only 160,000, but that was a collection of troops from 24 countries.
"What about the family?" Oda Yoshinobu asked lightly, this number was not much different from what he knew.
"I can probably get together 6,000 people, after all, the Toki family can't be unguarded." Oda Nobunaga said with a frown.
"The gap isn't very big......" Oda Yoshinobu was a lot more relieved when he heard it, after all, Oda Nobunaga's troops were only 2,000 people in history.
However, he immediately reversed this idea, "No, although there are 6,000 people, it is impossible to bring them all out for a surprise attack, and if there is no enemy in front of him, it is impossible for Imagawa Yoshimoto to stay in the barrel for so long......"
Seeing Oda Yoshinobu thinking with a sad face over there, Oda Nobunaga suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay Yoshinobu, don't think about it if you can't think of a way, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a way!" ā
"yes...... It's up to you to make a surprise attack......" Oda Yoshinobu thought speechlessly. But apart from this method that is not the way, there seems to be no better way? Well, at least Yoshinobu Oda can't think of it.
"It's too passive......" This is Oda Yoshinobu's last thought, the Oda family, which is surrounded by the two powerful Toki and Imagawa, does not have the slightest active voice at all.
Suruga, Sunpu Castle.
Under the transformation of Imagawa Yoshimoto for more than ten years, Sunfu Castle is now being transformed more and more like Little Kyoto. On weekdays, the ministers can be seen everywhere in the city, they either make tea, or chant poetry, or bow, looking very leisurely. These people are all down-and-out ministers who have been taken in by Imagawa Yoshimoto over the years and cannot live in Kyoto.
Speaking of which, most of the time, these ministers can be said to be of no use at all, except for wasting food. However, Imagawa Yoshimoto still took them in, because he liked Kyoto culture very much, and not only studied it himself, but also hoped that his retainers could learn from them through contact with these ministers.
However, just today, all these ministers, who had nothing to do on weekdays, gathered in the hall. Cause...... Quite simply, they were fed up with a rural place like Sunfu, so they ran over hoping that Imagawa Yoshimoto could lead his army to Shangluo and recover Kyoto.
Well, in the eyes of these ministers, except for Kyoto and a small part of, other places can basically be summed up in a rural sentence. It's not that they look down on people or anything, after all, the area around Kyoto has been the economic, political, and cultural center of Japan for a long time, and even after the Onin War, Kyoto still has a heritage that is proud of all regions of Japan.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time these ministers have come up with this idea. After all, for this group of people who don't have any military common sense in their heads, there is no problem at all with the strength of the Imagawa family. It's just that before, it was always rejected by Imagawa Yoshimoto for various reasons.
But today......
"Hmm...... You are indeed right, as the head of the shogun's family, in the case of the decline of the shogunate, it is indeed necessary to come forward to restore the majesty of the imperial court and reorganize this chaotic world. Imagawa Yoshimoto said with a chuckle, with absolute confidence in his tone.
"So......" A group of ministers looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto excitedly.
"Ah, I've decided, Shangluo!" Imagawa Yoshimoto said very casually.
Well, such a casual attitude, very arrogant? But that's what Imagawa Yoshimoto wants to achieve, he wants to let these ministers see his absolute confidence, and he is conveying it through their mouths. At the same time, there is also the purpose of going to Luo.
Kyoto.
"Huh? The Imagawa family wants to go to Luo? Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked with a frown.
"Yes! Lord, if it is the righteous prince, maybe he can really succeed! When the time comes......" Hosokawa Fujitaka said excitedly, but after seeing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's tightly knit brow, he couldn't help but close his mouth.
"Humph! Not to mention that there are Toki, Rokkaku and Miyoshi on the road to Shangluo, even if Imagawa Yoshimoto can really succeed, he may not be willing to be my deputy. You must know that the Imagawa family is also the same clan of the family, which means that Imagawa Yoshimoto is also qualified to sit in this position. Ashikaga Yoshiteru said with a cold snort.
"This ......" Hearing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka stopped talking, not because he didn't know what to say, but because he didn't dare to say it at all.
Kishiwada Castle.
"Really?" Miyoshi Chokei, the overlord of, listened to the report of his retainers while making tea indifferently.
"Yes, lord, do you want to prepare for it?" The retainer said worriedly.
"Ready? Hehe, no, with the strength of the Imagawa family, there is no threat to the family, and Imagawa Yoshimoto will not go to Luo's ......" Miyoshi Changqing said flatly.
Echizen.
"Are the giants of Tokaido finally ready to do it?" Wise Mitsuhide listened to the narration of the wandering merchant and thought silently in his heart. After a long time, he finally made up his mind. "Heeko, I'm going to Owari!"
"yes, got it." Wife Kiki Heiko is still so gentle that she didn't even ask why.
Mino, Inabayama Castle.
"What is this trying to do?" The Earth Ambiguity Dragon looked at the information and frowned and muttered.
According to his understanding, the mobilization ability of the Imagawa family and the Toki family will not be too different, after all, Mino has been a grain base since a long time ago, and the development of Ishitaka is not at all comparable to other countries.
Even if the Imagawa family attacked with all their might, the Tsuchiki Yoshiryu was confident that he could stop him. And Imagawa Yoshimoto, it is impossible not to know about this matter.
"Humph! No matter what you want to do, Owari won't let you take it! The Earth Ambiguity Dragon thought to himself.
