Chapter 392: Careful Planning

The impact of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death is far beyond Oda Nobunaga's simple imagination, this guy who has just completed the transformation of Owari Dafool to Owari Norio has no idea what an amazing thing he has done, Suruga Imagawa as the arm of the Ashikaga clan for 300 years, Tokaido's powerful relatives who guarded the Kanto Gate were planted in the barrel room, and were killed by a boy from the official clan in this Owari country, which is simply comical and unimaginable.

The shogunate lost a big arm because of this, Ashikaga Yoshiki angrily dropped a few high-grade celadon cups of the Ming Kingdom, and he couldn't eat a mouthful of food for several days, and how many ministers in the court cried bitterly, just like the change of Daning Temple that lost Ouchi Yoshitaka, there was one less iron rice bowl that went down to the distant country, and the future life was not so good.

The death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, like the death of Yoshitaka Ouchi, did not make a glorious samurai family collapse immediately, but how can a discerning person not see that the Imagawa family is running out of time?

The Imagawa clan may not be as unbridled as Yoshitaka Ouchi, but he is only twenty-one years old, not like Kira Yoshitoki, who experienced a difficult childhood, from the age of eight or nine to ponder the revival of the family business, and then in less than ten years of hard work to lay down the territory of Nuoda, born with a golden spoon, in these twenty-one years is really smooth.

His mother's early life was entirely due to his loving father's teaching, and he never suffered any setbacks from childhood to adulthood, and it was still a question whether such a young and inexperienced governor could stabilize the family business, and it was impossible to expect the "eldest child" who had not yet learned to live independently at the age of 21 to inherit the family governor at the age of 11, like his maternal grandfather Takeda Nobutora. At the age of fourteen, he attacked his uncle Nobue Yagawa on a rainy night and killed him.

News of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death soon spread throughout the world. Responses to this incident have varied from place to place. Some grief, some regret, and many people are waiting to watch the play with mocking eyes, such as the Ashikaga family is watching the play, since I learned the news a few days ago, the general meeting of the Kira family has not stopped, and the samurai of the Kira family have experienced the initial consternation, and they have become excited.

Langoka Tsunobo glanced at Honta's excited expression and shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart that even if the Imagawa family is finished, I won't be able to kill Mikawa in a while, coughed and said: "It's like the Ouchi family after the change of Daning Temple." After Tao Qingxian's defeat and death of Itsukushima, the Ouchi family's governor Ouchi Yoshinaga finally defeated himself in Nagato Province and Yamashiro in May last year after a few years of survival, and the Ouchi family perished! Although there are remnants of the party dying and struggling, they can't hide the result of the complete destruction of the main family, and the Western Kingdom Hero Ouchi family is finished......"

Without waiting for Nanoka to finish speaking, Honda was impatient to interject: "Lord Mingjian, if the Suruga Imagawa family loses this battle, the family business that has been saved so hard will definitely be over, and Mikawa is the country that my Kira family has been leading for generations and is the state country newly attached to the Imagawa clan." All it takes is a hint from the lord that the lineage elder in the family will immediately rise up against the Imagawa family, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

The cultivation of the Langoka house is very good. Even if he was robbed of the conversation, he didn't get angry, but just shook his head and retorted: "It's not appropriate! Big wrong! Our army's battle in Yuezhong has not yet ended, and the geometry of the main hall to go to the Warring States of Dewa is not known, at this time, it is not good to rashly meddle in the affairs of the Mikawa State and provoke Imagawa and Oda to attack from both sides, it is very bad, you must know that the Imagawa family is a behemoth after all, and there are still 20,000 troops in their hands, and it is possible to force them to do anything. ”

"Impossible! That Oda Danmasa is an old friend who has known the Lord for many years, and he will never beat me to the Mikawa Motoji of the Ashikaga family! "Honda was anxious when he heard it, and what they Mikawa samurai thought about was to kill their hometown openly and honestly, in order to relieve the grievances of enduring humiliation for many years, and when they saw Nanooka Fufang's words, they wanted to deny it and couldn't take care of a lot, and they were busy moving out the black history of Oda Nobunaga, and they didn't care about how ugly Yoshitoshi Kira's face was.

"I've heard a little about this......," Nanoka had a slightly unhappy expression when he caught a glimpse of Kirayoshi, and said with a smile: "It's just that it is not known what this Oda's temperament is, and what if he really doesn't care about the prestige of the Lord and takes the land of Mikawa with his hands?" You must know that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so the Shimoda Nagao family still dares to attack my Kasuga Mountain Castle, do you know that this Oda Danzheng is not a person with a cold nature? ”

Kira Yoshishi looked at Langoka Hanfang with some surprise, and really could doubt whether this guy had the same special memory as him, and even broke Oda Nobunaga's cold and thin personality in one sentence, so he took the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "What Yufang said is very right, Yu laid down the land of the three states not by other martial artists to care for friendship, but by real swords and guns, and it is a very naïve move to pin the safety of the Mikawa country on the illusory friendship...... Yahachiro has to learn a lot of lessons! ”

"Hah! Your Majesty must learn a lesson! Ben was depressed and hung his head to admit his mistake.

Kira Yoshitoki understands his mood very well, and he also wants to return to the familiar Yasaku River and take another look at Saijo Castle, which has left him countless memories of joy and sorrow, but he has more important things to do, and he can't make a decision that violates the development of the family business for this little reverie, reason must triumph over emotion after all, which is the price of growth.

"The Lord Mingjian, the death of the Imagawa Shobe bucket narrow room for us and the disadvantages outweigh the disadvantages, the Triple Alliance of the Prime Minister is like a three-legged giant, the death of the Imagawa Shobe is equivalent to a huge crack in one of the pillars, and this giant tripod will be unstable after a long time, although the situation is stable and there is no greater wave, but as long as there is a small spark, it will become a wildfire."

Langoka Hanfang's words stopped here, seeing that his expression was obviously unfinished, Honda Shimasa also quickly woke up, regretting that he had forgotten this layer completely, and hurriedly said: "What Naboden said is right, Imagawa Kamisuke (Imagawa Shin) is an inexperienced child after all, even if he makes incomprehensible mistakes, it can be understood, as long as there are enough sparks to burn the Imagawa family to a pile of ruins, why don't you ask Tojoden to come forward and persuade one or two?" I guess the Imagawa clan will really believe it! ”

"Not good! This will make Tojo-den bear the name of a minister for no reason, and it will not be of any benefit to the lord in the slightest! We'll have to think of something else. Langoka frowned and pondered.

Listening to the two discussing how to calculate the Imagawa clan, Kira Yoshishi smiled lightly. Picked up the folding fan and tapped the case table and said, "Yahachiro." 顕房. The two of you don't have to worry.,This Imagawa Kamisuke is what kind of temperament has long been reported by ninjas.,This person is proficient in waka、Songs、Tea ceremony、Keju,Especially Keju's skills are even appreciated by the ministers of Kyoto.,In addition, he also has extraordinary talents and talents in calligraphy、Ikebana.,Love Kyoto culture, so often interact with the court ministers of the Panhuan Junfu.,There are extraordinary attainments in domestic affairs.,Very sensitive to business.。 Last year, he proposed that Suruga implement the Rakushi Order, but Imagawa Jibu had no intention of causing trouble. ”

Langoka nodded thoughtfully: "I see...... People's energy is always exhausted, proficient in side arts will inevitably relax the training of samurai skills, Imagawa Kamisuke is proficient in so many side arts, then the way of the bow and horse is definitely unqualified, military strategy is bound to be not proficient, and the skill and vision of political strategy are not available, and it is very difficult to expect him not to make mistakes! ”

Even if you have never met a person, as long as you know his habits and habits, you can deduce his form and deeds to some extent, and now a person with such distinctive characteristics as Kawa Shin can guess most of them with a little scrutiny. Honda Tokimasa obviously understood this truth, so he proposed: "In this way, this Imagawa Kamisuke is indeed very immature! If there is a disturbance in the Sichuan family now. Maybe Imagawa Kamisuke will make a mistake in his busy schedule and cause big trouble, so why don't I wait to make some movement in Mikawa and Enjiang to scare him? ”

Ji Liang Yishi shook the folding fan and listened to the calculations of the two silently, and when they looked at him one after another, he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Yu has a better strategy to use, and wait a little longer, at most, someone will come to the door to sue for peace, and Yu's strategy will fall on that person." ”

The daily government affairs are piled up, and even if you stay in Kasuga Mountain Castle, you can't get a moment of leisure and recuperation, so you can discuss strategies with two confidants, and you are found by Hosokawa Fujitaka to solve the matter of redefining the division of Ueno Kunichu Zhixingling, and you are busy and unaware that the sky outside is gradually darkening, so you can rush back to the Kasuga Imperial Palace.

As soon as I stepped into the corridor between Okuma, I heard a muffled cry from inside, and the voices of several women were whispering comforting, Kira Yoshitoki's heart chuckled, and he secretly screamed badly, and he forgot the origin of Naoto, and with the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Echigo was well known, and the news that her biological father Ii Naomori was dead in Tsuruma could not be hidden.

Kira Yoshishi was so angry that he almost wanted to kill someone, but he missed the fire in his backyard after all calculations, beckoned the maid who was serving, and shouted in a low voice: "Which maid chewed the root of her tongue and leaked the news of her father-in-law's death to Mrs. Yu!" If the straight tiger has three games and two shorts, I will ask you! ”

The maids had never seen Kira Yoshishi's angry look, and Mr. Good, who was usually very easy to get along with, was so angry at this moment that a pair of eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and the sharp eyes like knives fell on their bodies as if they were going to cut them into seven or eight pieces, so that several little maids were frightened and did not dare to move.

At this moment, the voice of Ao Mali stopped, the paper door slowly opened but Zhihu slowly walked out, her face was as pale as paper at this time, her two big eyes were red and swollen like two small light bulbs, dragging her bulky body and saluting with difficulty: "Your Highness, don't blame them, this matter has nothing to do with them, this news is written by the family genealogy to inform the concubine, and the poor father died in the prime of life......

Saying that, Zhihu sobbed in a low voice again, her crying could make the six gods who were worried about Ji Liangyi have no master, and hurriedly helped her to carefully persuade her: "Life is in the world, good and bad luck are only in an instant, and life and death are determined to part!" There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that 'there is no old or young on the Huangquan Road', and the father-in-law fought all his life, but in the end he died for the Imagawa family loyalty, and as a samurai, he died a well-deserved death! Now Xiao Ahu is pregnant with more flesh and blood, including half of your Jingyi family's blood relatives, and in the future, there will always be people who worship their father-in-law at four o'clock! ”

Tiger Ji stood up for eight months pregnant, came out with a big belly, gently waved her hand to rebuke the unlucky little maids, stepped forward and took Zhihu's little hand, and whispered comfort: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, the deceased has passed away, and Sister Zhihu is the only bloodline inheritor of the Shinano Shou Temple, and she should hold back her grief and persist in going on, and now that Sister Zhihu is pregnant with His Royal Highness's child, she should take care of her body and give birth to a healthy and lively good child, so as to comfort the Shinano Shou Hall under the Nine Springs!" ”

Sandalwood and Yoshino also followed to comfort Naohu to stop crying, she was also freed from grief at this time, knowing that the child when she was pregnant with Kira Yoshishi could not be overly sad, in case the child was killed because of her, it would not be as simple as killing a father, maybe the mad Kira Yoshishi would go on a killing spree, and in the past few months, she learned about this husband's dedication to family affection, which made her very moved.

Zhihu cried all day, already sleepy, if it weren't for the strong bones of the body, I was afraid that the people who had long since fainted would not wake up, so I went to bed with a simple meal under the service of the maids, and Ji Liang Yoshishi sent the other two pregnant ladies back, and was relieved to be relieved when he was busy until the second watch.

Lying on the tatami mat and pondering for a moment, he muttered to himself: "It's really not the time for this Imagawa Yoshimoto to die, so I have to wait for the rest of the child to be born and then die!" But the harem of the troublesome Yu is not peaceful...... Having said that, he calculated Yu several times before his death, and he still had to mix it up after his death, so he didn't want to be right with Yu to the end? ”

In addition to the news of the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the unlucky ghost, there was some even happier news, a few days later the latest battle report came from Echichu, shortly after the capture of Toyama Castle in mid-August, Echichu had always been reluctant to send troops in a big way, but unfortunately the hasty departure of the army was not aligned, and the preparations were also seriously delayed, and they rushed to Toyama Castle with an army of 40,000 in tow.

On the way, he met Tokiyuki Yamamoto, who was waiting for the battle, and led 15,000 men to set up a formation on the hill outside Tomisaki Castle, ten kilometers southwest of Toyama Castle, at the foot of which there was a lake called Fujiike, and the other end of the lake was connected to the Ida River, a tributary of the Jinzu River.

If you want to enter, you must bypass the Fujichi and advance along the gentle mountain from the north bank, and collide with the main force of the Echichu Army of the Kira Army who is waiting there, and the chief of the god is worried that this will fall into the trap of the Kira army and is unwilling to give in so easily, Katsukoji Yuncheng mocked him for being too timid, obviously he was the most active in shouting for revenge to retake Xinchuan County, but in the end he shrank like a quail.

How can such a bad humiliation be endured by a man, the god is really unbearable to ridicule, but he doesn't dare to anger the great monk Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, he can only grit his teeth and endure the anger in his chest, but he doesn't want to be ruthlessly mocked by Shengxing Temple Rongrong and Ruiquan Temple Zhun Xuan, he really hates his teeth and is about to crush, knowing that if he is not convinced, he is afraid that he will be humiliated more, and he has to agree to go out in a sullen voice for a long time.
