Harima Country, Himeji Castle.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

A series of swift horses' hooves sounded, and the war horses stepped through the sand, leaving a series of hoof prints.

Waves washed over the sand, and a large field of egrets rose in fright and hissed into the sky.

Scold!

Hideyoshi, who was dressed in a wide hunting suit, pulled the reins, and the war horse circled around the place, fluttering in circles.

Behind Hideyoshi Hashiba, a group of samurai hurriedly followed and pulled the reins together and stopped their horses.

Not long ago, Hashiba Hideyoshi's Western Regiment had just captured Miki Castle and pacified the entire Higashi Harima, and its power increased greatly for a while.

So it's no wonder that Hideyoshi Hashiba is in a good mood now.

"Haha!" Hideyoshi Hashiba laughed loudly, waved his horsewhip, and said, "You guys have the best scenery here. ”

After saying that, Yushiba Hideyoshi simply jumped off the warhorse.

Immediately afterwards, a small surname named Ishida Mitsunari brought Maza and sat down for Hideyoshi Hashiba.

On the side, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, Kato Yoshiaki, Wasaka Yasuji, Hirano Nagayasu, Takenori Kuroya and other close samurai, as well as military advisor Kuroda Koko and others were all standing behind Hashiba Hideyoshi.

There are a few random people here, all of whom are famous people in history, which shows the huge lineup under Yushiba Hideyoshi.

Hashiba Hideyoshi waved his hand and signaled to the side to approach, and the little surnames stepped back, leaving only Kuroda Takataka alone.

The sea breeze was blowing, and Hashiba Hideyoshi said, "Ikuno Ginzan, how is the yield?" ”

Kuroda Takashi lowered his head and said, "Back to the lord, last month produced one hundred and fifty times." ”

Hideyoshi's eyes lit up. slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Oh, in this way, there are nearly 2,000 times this year!" ”

Hideyoshi Hashiba is known as a businessman, and when he heard about the production of Ikuno Ginzan, his eyes shone brightly, and he immediately grasped the importance of it.

Kuroda Takashi lowered his head and said, "Yes, we can also use the Nanban refining method to refine it, so that the silver rate is higher." After increasing the number of manpower, Yinshan's output will further increase. ”

Yushiba Hideyoshi waved his hand and said, "Everything is according to your will, ask for money for money, and ask people to give people." ”

Takataka Kuroda nodded, about to step back.

At this time, Yushiba Hideyoshi suddenly said: "Kankanwei, there is one more thing. ”

Takataka Kuroda turned around and looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba. Suddenly smiled: "Lord, but I'm bothered by Maeda-sama's business." ”

Yushiba Hideyoshi's rare face was heavy, he nodded, and said, "Yes, Youzuo is my good friend." When I left the Oda family, thanks to him taking care of me everywhere, I would never be where I am today. It's really hard for me to make his request. ”

Kuroda Takaka's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "My lord." Are you really hesitant to ask Maeda-sama? ”

Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled when he saw Kuroda Takataka say this, and then looked left and right to make sure that the people around him were far enough away.

At that moment, Hideyoshi Hashiba lowered his voice. Yan said: "I really can't hide it from you at all, yes, I am really dissatisfied with Azuchiden, especially after the death of Lord Takigawa." ”

Kuroda Takataka nodded when he heard this, put his sleeve robe together, and said: "My lord, being able to speak outright shows my trust in my subordinates." So what does the lord decide to do now? ”

After hearing this, Yushiba Hideyoshi said with a wry smile: "If you understand, do you still need to ask you?" ”

Kuroda Takataka shook his head and said, "That subordinate doesn't dare to say much about this matter. ”

Seeing Kuroda Takataka say this, Hashiba Hideyoshi looked into the distance of the sea and sky, put his hands behind his head, and said to himself: "It would be nice if the lord was still alive, so I don't have to think too much." ”

After saying this, Yushiba Hideyoshi quietly wiped his tears with his hands.

Omi Province, Saikyo Temple.

Above the main hall, countless monks hummed and chanted.

Sandalwood is thick and turns into green smoke to cover the temple. …,

Akechi Mitsuhide walked up to his wife's spirit card, clapped his hands three times, and then closed his eyes.

After a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide opened his eyes and said silently, "Smoker, do you know? After you left, for the past two years, I have seen you every day when I fall asleep and close my eyes. ”

"The battle with the Takeda family is coming soon, I may not come to see you for a long time, please forgive me, and I hope you are in the spirit of heaven to bless me with good luck."

Akechi Mitsuhide and his wife, Mu Xizi, have a harmonious relationship, when the city of Achichi was broken, Akechi Mitsuhide was reduced to a ronin, and went to other homes everywhere, when he was displaced.

His wife, Kiko Kiki, has always been by Akechi Mitsuhide's side and never abandoned.

Even when the two were at their most embarrassed, they were unentangled, and his wife Mu Xizi resolutely cut off her long hair and sold it for money to fund Akechi Mitsuhide.

After Akechi Mitsuhide walked out of the temple, his face was as calm as water, and he returned to his usual appearance of the ancient well.

Akechi Hidemitsu, Saito Toshizo, Mizoo Shigeru and other direct retainers were all waiting on horseback.

After seeing Akechi Mitsuhide walk out of the temple, Akechi Mitsuhide said with a happy face: "My lord, I just received news that Tanba Kameyama Castle has been captured by Hosokawa and Ikeda. ”

Hearing Akechi Shuman say this, Akechi Mitsumi nodded and said, "Everything went according to plan. ”

Saito Toshisan said: "My lord, Honganji Temple is as if it has been subdued, and the territory of Tanba Province, except for the Naito family, has been fully subdued. Now that there is no other force, the elbow of our Army can lead to a decisive battle with Takeda with absolute force. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said, "It's not enough. ”

"Please let the Lord make it public." Wise Shuman, Saito Rizo, Mizoo Shigeru are all standing beside him.

Akechi Mitsuhide said, "In terms of today's power, Takeda and the family are neck and neck, and the two sides are evenly matched. But in terms of reputation, it is inferior. ”

"My lord, I mean His Royal Highness."

"That's right," Wise Mitsuhide said in a deep voice, "Gongfang Hall is the leader of the martial arts, and the Duke of Youfu wanted to deploy martial arts in the world and abolish the position of the general, why didn't he occupy it, it was just because his name was not right." ”

As soon as Wise Mitsuhide said this, the three of them nodded silently.

The Oda family was originally just a descendant of the priests, and in order to cling to it, they claimed to be descendants of the Taira clan.

Later, Nobunaga also knew this, so he simply put aside the position of the general of the expedition and did not accept it.

Nobunaga's ambitions have always been ambitious, and even the retainers don't know for a while what Oda Nobunaga wants, is it really as Nobunaga said, following the example of Zhou Gong and not pretending to be self-assured.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at these three people and said slowly: "Everyone, my Toki clan, from the Genji celebrity, when it comes to family personality, where is the Owari Shinkan family can be compared, right now sweeping the Quartet for the imperial court, and the achievements are world-famous, even if you ascend to the position of the general of the Seiyi and open the shogunate, it is not an exaggeration." ”

Listening to Wise Guangxiu's words, the faces of these three people suddenly changed.

And Wise Mitsuhide's eyes shimmered, but he stared straight at them. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
