"Sure enough, as my father expected, the Oda family is still allied with the Matsudaira family!"

While Oda Nobunaga was entertaining Matsudaira Motoyasu at Kiyoshu Castle, Nobora Roche, who had been closely monitoring the movements of the Matsudaira family and the Oda family, also received information about the two families from the Intelligence Pavilion at Yoshida Castle in Nishi-Mikawa Province.

As early as when Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed by Oda Nobunaga in Tarakuwa, his father Masari wrote a letter to him, reminding him to destroy the Matsudaira family as much as possible if possible, otherwise it would be difficult to destroy the Matsudaira family once it was allied with the Oda family.

At that time, although Roshi Nobuna and others also intended to deal with the Matsudaira family, it was a pity that the Suruga Imagawa family sent Okabe Motonobu to lead a large army to attack at that time, and in the end, even if Okabe Motonobu's army was defeated, the Matsudaira family had already recovered from the defeat of Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiraku, and Roshi Nobuya also missed the best opportunity to take the opportunity to solve the Matsudaira family, and even later, in order to speed up the newly occupied territory and create a relatively stable surrounding environment, After the Matsudaira family took the initiative to donate the territories of the wealthy families such as the Hiroden family in the Higashi-Mikawa Province region as a gesture of goodwill, Luo Shinra could only proceed from reality and had to sign a temporary armistice agreement with the Matsudaira family.

"In that case, we can only figure it out slowly." Thinking of this, Luo Xinliang could only muttered to himself.

"Report to Your Highness! The preparation has been completed. At this moment, Horio Yoshiharu came in to report. After Horio Yoshiharu assisted Michizo Saito to regain control of Mino Province, he followed Kato Danzo and others to Enoe Province, and his parents had already obtained a good territory in Enoe Province at that time and began to settle again.

"Oh? You ready? Then get ready to go. Roche Xinliang said.

Previously, under the "truthful confession" of the captured Kira family, everyone knew that the Kira family was suddenly so "brave" against the Imagawa family in Enoe Province. That was because he was instigated by the Amano family of Enoe Province and the Suga family of Mikawa Province. So everyone was led by the Imagawa family in Enoe Province. They unanimously condemned the Amano family and the Kansuga family, and even the Imagawa family of Enoe Province immediately mobilized troops to prepare for the conquest of these two families.

Of course, since it was the middle of March of the fourth year of Eiroku (1561), and the families were busy with spring ploughing, this time all the wealthy families who submitted to the Imagawa family in Enoe Province did not need to send troops, but only needed to go home and plough the fields while denouncing the Amano family and the Kansuga family with their mouths.

As for the Imagawa family side of the Enoe country, the spring plowing within the territory cannot be delayed either. However, the newly established Yuanjiang Standing Station has also been training for half a year, and this time it is just a good time to test the effect of its training. At the same time, since the Enjiang Province and Mikawa Country areas are located in the middle of the transportation arteries, there are many ronins and homeless people pouring into the local area in normal times, and Luo Shi Shinra also recruited many people from these people to form a temporary army of 500 people.

As for the rest of the ronins and displaced people who were not recruited, they were temporarily settled in Enoe Province after the Kyushu family communicated, and waited for the Kyushu Luo family to send ships to transport these people to Kyushu Island in batches to settle in the form of merchant fleets.

As for maritime security in transit. Due to the cooperation of Notaro and other local pirate forces, the Luo family's naval army has already cleaned up all the forces along the coast of Yuanjiang Province and Mikawa Country. From now on, the coastal areas of Enjiang Province and Mikawa Province will become relatively safe sea areas. Of course, the security of the region passing through the four countries can only depend on the capabilities of the fleet itself.

Today, Nogara Roshi gathered 500 people in the Standing Army of Enoe and a temporary army of 500 men outside Yoshida Castle in Higashi-Mikawa Province, preparing to officially attack the nearby Noda Castle of the Kansuga family. At this time, Horio Yoshiharu came in to report on the preparations of the two teams outside the city.

However, after the report was completed, Horio Yoshiharu seemed to have something else to say, and seeing this scene, Roche Shinra immediately asked strangely:

"What else?"

"Your Highness, Mrs. Fang Caisong once looked for you, but was stopped by the guards outside." Horio Yoshiharu immediately reported.

"Oh!" After hearing this, Luo Xinliang nodded. Horio Yoshiharu is referring to Maeda Matsu, on the day of the previous Imagawa burial and Kasuga Bureau, Maeda Toshiya and Maeda Matsu also got married in the same wedding and settled near Yoshida Castle.

Originally, it was a happy day after the wedding, but Maeda Toshiya received a letter that made him decadent. The letter was sent by his father, Maeda Toshimasa, in which he scolded the Maeda Toshiya for taking refuge in the Imagawa family, the enemy of the Oda family, and bluntly stated that because of his actions, the family was scolded by the head of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga, and at the same time, Oda Nobunaga had also threatened that he would not forgive the Maeda Toshiya again.

Maeda Toshiya, who had been bent on finding an opportunity to return to Oda Nobunaga's command, was like a bolt from the blue after reading the letter. The fact that he defected to the Imagawa family in Enoe Province is completely false.

Previously, because Roche Nobuya was in the process of Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiluo, he had agreed to his request and led his troops to intercept Okabe Motonobu's army, although he was defeated, and he himself was injured because of it, but after all, he still owed Roche Nobuya a favor, so when Roche Nobuya fought fiercely in the conquest war with Suruga Province in the throne of the royal castle, in order to repay Roche Nobuya's favor, so he also participated in the war.

However, considering that Luo Shi Xinliang is a member of the Imagawa family in Ene Province, in order to avoid being misunderstood by the Oda family, so after the end of this war, he took his wife Maeda Matsu to settle near Yoshida Castle in Mikawa Province, as for his friend Shima Sakune, because he is also very familiar with Hyakutake Kenkan and others, so at the invitation of Hyakku Kenkan and others, he became a retainer of Roshi Shinra.

Originally, the plan of the Maeda Toshiya was to live a peaceful life here with his wife Maeda Matsu from now on, and then find a way to return to the Owari Province Oda family, but it turned out that he had just married Maeda Matsu and encountered such a thunderbolt on a sunny day, how could this be embarrassing?

So after leaving his wife Maeda Matsu at home, he returned to Owari Province with the person who came to deliver the letter from his family, and he planned to return to the Maeda family in Ariko Castle in Owari Province first, analyze it with his father and brothers, and then ask to see Oda Nobunaga in person with the help of his family and some Oda retainers such as Kizo Shigetada, Kinoshita Toyoshiro and other Oda family retainers to explain the situation.

But after returning to Owari Province, all his wishes were frustrated, and the family closed the door to prevent him from entering the house, and his father, Maeda Toshimasa, made it even more clear that he no longer recognized him as a son. As for the lord Oda Nobunaga, Maeda Toshiya has no chance to meet him. What's even more tragic is that even his former friend Kinoshita Tojiro refused to meet him.

In fact, Kinoshita Toshiro was also very miserable by the Maeda Toshiya this time, and I don't know who is rumored near Kiyoshu Castle, saying that he is in the same group as the Maeda Toshiya, and it has always been the Imagawa family lurking in the Oda family.

Regarding this rumor, due to the fact that the Maeda Toshiya accidentally killed Oda Nobunaga's favored surname Shiami, after being rumored to link this matter with the identity of the Maeda Toshika, combined with the fact that he had appeared in the military of the Imagawa family in Enoe Province, the fact that the Maeda Toshiya "betrayed" the Oda family has basically been confirmed.

And Kinoshita Toyoshiro has always had a good relationship with the Maeda Toshiya before, and under the deliberate rendering of rumors, many people in Kiyoshu City suspect that Kinoshita Toyoshiro and Maeda Toshiro are really the elaborate works of the Toe Imagawa family.

Let's not talk about the feelings of the Maeda Toshiya, just for Kinoshita Toshiro, because of this, he suffered from the suspicion of the family's important ministers Shibata Katsuie, Hayashi Sado and others, if it weren't for Oda Nobunaga's firm belief in Kinoshita Toshiro's loyalty, it is estimated that Kinoshita Toyoshiro was either killed or exiled.

It's just that even if he wasn't reprimanded, in order to take into account the feelings of everyone in the family, Oda Nobunaga's original plan to promote Kinoshita Toyoshiro had to be temporarily canceled, so Kinoshita Toyoshiro could still only be his kitchen commissioner.

And this is not the biggest blow to Kinoshita Toyoshiro, another thing is the biggest blow that makes him cry.
