The most criticized problem in samurai society is the stability of inheritance, and there is almost no possibility of stable transitional rights.

The head of a family, the family governor is the core, and the Ji warriors who unite around the family governor are her direct ministers.

Further outward, there are genealogical retainers, countrymen, and outsiders.

These people are not alone Ji samurai, but also small masters with their own teams. There are too many small groups that represent too many different conflicts of interest.

Once the governor of the family dies and the young lord succeeds to the throne, the balance in the family will be broken.

Then a new balance is reached in the struggle again and again, and it is considered to be stable.

Some families may not be able to stabilize until they die.

Imagawa Yoshimoto female picture roughly, all parties in the family are happy and convinced, up and down.

What if she died?

With Maeda Toshiie's words, Imagawa's Hachimoto-hime samurai instantly despaired.

According to the custom, the family governor died in battle, and all the flags of this formation should follow and die. This is a dead rule that is afraid that Qiben will rebel on the battlefield.

Now that Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead, her own horses have no way to live. Suddenly he was ferocious, and he wanted to kill a few pads.

Fortunately, they had a nervous breakdown and were bent on dying. There is no longer the spirit of unity and cooperation, and the fighting effectiveness of each other is not as strong as before.

And the military strength of the Oda family heard that Imagawa Yoshimoto was dead, and the army's morale was greatly boosted.

For a time, he faintly divided and scattered Imagawa Yoshimoto's elite flagbook.

These flags were already numerically inferior, and they were divided and surrounded, and soon fell into disadvantage.

When Oda Nobunaga heard the news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death, he rushed forward excitedly, and Ikeda Hengxing, who was guarding her side, was very frightened.

hurriedly beckoned Ma Huizhong to follow, and surrounded her in front and back to fight forward, making Imagawa Qimoto's formation even more messy.

At this time, Imagawa Kimoto's anger was finally vented, and many people were too lazy to resist, so they were cut to the ground and stabbed to death.

There is no mercy, no surrender. The raid on this formation is a great achievement, and the heads of each banner book are always valuable, so they will naturally be slaughtered.

"Inuchiyo! Where are you! ”

The mountain stream was muddy, and it was a battle in the torrential rain, and Oda Nobunaga couldn't find anyone at all, so he could only shout at the top of his throat.

"His Highness Oda! I am here! ”

The Spo army consisted of only eight Hime samurai, fifty ashigaru.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto's death, she was as desperate and furious as she approached Qimoto, and beat the weak Spo's people back again and again.

Fortunately, they fell into a frenzy and were out of order, and the Spo army barely formed a formation to block the attack under the leadership of the two Maeda sisters.

It was only at this time that Oda Nobunaga was killed, and he was out of danger.

Although it was critical just now, Maeda Toshiya did not give up Imagawa Yoshimoto's body.

Cut off the head, wrap it around the torn cloth and tie it to the body, and pull the body from the foot light into the formation of the Spo formation.

When Oda Nobunaga came over, Maeda Toshiya took out the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto, knelt on the ground and held it high above the top, presenting it to Nobunaga.

"Inuchiyo has fulfilled his mission, Your Highness, please see, I have won Imagawa Yoshimoto."

Under the kamikaze, the rain will last for at least half a day, or even a few days. In the dark, Oda Nobunaga could see clearly.

It's just that judging from the performance of the collapse of the flags, this must be Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Nobunaga laughed and pulled Maeda Toshiya up.

"Inuchiyo, the first credit this time is yours!"

After a while, Oda's army attacked one after another, and with the advantage of numbers and organization, he killed Imagawa Kimoto.

Several Naomitsu and Oda Nobunaga hid under a cliff and took shelter from the rain on the edge of the mountain, waiting for orders.

"Sen Kecheng, you take the team back to the outside of Narumi City.

Yamaguchi should have cleared the city of dissidents, and you go and tell her that Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead.

Then watch the city, and if they go north to the hinterland of Obari, I will not retreat. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Kawajiri Hidetaka, you take the team back to Zenshoji Temple and tell Gonroku that Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead.

You assist them in defending the two bars, and when the enemy forces approach, you shout that Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Ikeda Hengxing, you take a few people back to Kiyosu Castle quickly and tell Niwa Nagahide that Imagawa Yoshimoto has been given the head.

Let her gather the forces of each family and advance to the southeast.

First divide a part of the army and assist Sen Kecheng to keep a good look at Narumi City. The rest went south to Shanzhao Temple and joined me. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

The three of them were ordered to leave, and Oda Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief.

It's ridiculous to say.

Imagawa Yoshimoto died, but because of the weather, her subordinates didn't know, and they still needed Oda Nobunaga to tell them.

This period of time is the most important time, strictly prevent the death blockage, and do not let the Imagawa family have a chance to enter the Nobi Plain.

If they lack a core figure inside, they will definitely be chaotic, and each family will be cautious.

As long as one family gives up avenging Imagawa Yoshimoto and returns to Suruga Province.

Others must be afraid of being taken advantage of, and when the young master succeeds later, they will fall into passivity and let people take advantage.

Then under the effect of the leader, the Imagawa army is bound to rush back home, and Oda Nobunaga can be regarded as having passed this hurdle.

Therefore, now is the critical juncture, and we must not relax.

Before, she didn't dare to mobilize the retainers' group, only Naotomi came to the barrel Sasama with her, plus the Sakuma family who defended the army, and the army was only four thousand.

In addition to Shibata Katsuya, who took the initiative to stand in line, Lin Xiuzhen missed another opportunity and was remembered by Nobunaga.

Now that Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead, the Imagawa army is in decline. The retainers are no longer a destabilizing factor and can now enter the war.

When the order was over, she glanced at Maeda Toshiya, who was silently staying aside.

Said suddenly.

"Why doesn't the Ashigaru of the Spo family collapse?

I took a closer look, and their battle losses were more than fifty percent, and their morale and fighting spirit were about to catch up with the horses. ”

Maeda Toshiie's eyes narrowed, and Spo Ashigaru was exposed.

Should I tell Oda Nobunaga or not?

Maruke.

Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at the increasing wind and rain, and the expectation and anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Outside the shogunate, Honda rushed in several times.

Matsudaira Motoyasu stood up and looked at her nervously.

"The envoy sent to inform His Highness Imagawa that she has returned, but she has not found anyone."

Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded disappointedly, and Hondo said the next sentence several times, which made her heart skip a beat.

She heard cheers.

Cheers.

His Majesty Imagawa Yoshimoto was very strict, and he used the Imagawa Kana directory to govern the territory and the samurai, and Ma Hui did not dare to slack off.

These samurai would never make a noise in front of the Governor, especially in this nasty weather.

If anyone dares to cheer, they may lose their heads.

So who, exactly, is cheering? Who is it!

Her heart beat faster and harder.

"Honda-sama, send an envoy again.

No, let the capable Mikawahime samurai investigate! I want to know the real news, even if a few people die, I must find out!

To find out, that person, she is dead, no, dead! ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu changed his previous patience and affinity, and his expression was solemn and cold as frost.
