Chapter 876: Nobunaga's Choice
In the battle of Inayuhara, Oda Nobunaga's army was weak and strong, and won a great success, and won more than 450 subordinate troops from the rebel Lin Meisaku, and Oda Nobuyuki was defeated: Shibata Katsuya hid in Suemori Castle, and Lin Xiuzhen fled back to Nakono Castle, and was surrounded by the army of Oda Nobunaga, who took advantage of the victory. As for Oda Nobuyuki, who is the biggest protagonist of the opposing side, he did not flee back to Suemori Castle as recorded in history, but his whereabouts are unknown. Tsunoda Shigoro and Sasazo were killed in the rebellion.
As for the external forces that were agreed with Oda Nobuyuki at the beginning, they have different expressions. Saito Yoshiryu of Mino Province was very trustworthy, and he really sent a few hundred troops to march on the border between Mino and Owari.
But both Oda Nobuyuki and Saito Yoshiryu underestimated Oda Nobunaga too much. When Oda Nobunaga went out of battle in Kiyoshu Castle, he did receive an urgent report from the border about the Saito family's military intent to invade, but Oda Nobunaga threw this urgent report away and directly swung his troops to kill Oda Nobuyuki's army regardless of it.
Could it be that Oda Nobunaga really didn't care about the invasion of foreign enemies, and would rather have a civil war with his brother? Of course not, Oda Nobunaga had long seen that Saito Yoshiryu was also busy integrating the various forces within Mino at this time, and he didn't have the energy to invade Owari, so as soon as Oda Nobunaga heard the urgent report of Mino's invasion, he knew that the other party was bluffing, so naturally he wouldn't care about the army of the Saito family marching on the border.
Oda Nobunaga, the main army of the Saito family, ignored it, but the army of Kanshoji Temple, which was mainly composed of Ichisuji sect followers, who entered from Ise Province, had to take care of it. However, to Oda Nobunaga's surprise, this army originally went straight to the battlefield at that time, but it didn't wait for them to arrive at the battlefield. Oda Nobuyuki's army was defeated. So the army simply turned its guns around. It was burned and looted in Oda Nobuyuki's territory. Under such circumstances, Oda Nobunaga postponed the expulsion of this army.
On this side, Oda Nobunaga did not immediately expel these mobs from the same sect, but it startled the Shibata Quan Rokukatsu family, who had just returned to Suemori City, because at this time, the city lord's Oda Nobuyuki had not fled back, and if he encountered those thugs halfway, he would be in danger, but at this time, because he was afraid that Oda Nobunaga's army would be killed, he did not dare to organize the defeated soldiers who also fled back to go out to look for it. In desperation, Shibata Gonrokukatsu had no choice but to ask to see Oda Nobuyuki's mother, who was in the city. That is, Oda Nobuhide's main room Tsuchida Gozen. At this time, the Tsuchida Imperial Front was broken, and it was also known as Korin-in.
At this time, it was already evening, and Shibata Gonrokukatsu first asked his wife to help him shave his head at home, and then put on a black dress, and after walking out of the house, he avoided people's attention, came to the door of Mrs. Tsuchida's house, and banged on the wooden door. Soon after, a maid opened the wooden door.
"Although it is late at night, I, Shibata Gonroku, have an urgent matter and want to ask the monks of Xianglin Temple for help. Please tell me to come and ask for a meeting. ”
When Shibata Gonrokukatsuya said this to the maid, suddenly, someone poked out from behind the maid. It was none other than Princess Aichi, Oda Nobunaga's sister, and her eyes were wide open. After seeing Shibata Gonrokukatsu, he fled with a smile "hehehe".
In history, Ah Shi later married into the Asai family, and she was the biological mother of Yodo-kun and later the second-generation general Mrs. Xiuzhong. Later, she became the wife of the Shibata Gonrokukatsu family, moved to Kitasho Castle in Echizen, and finally died together with the Shibata Gonrokukatsu family before Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army was brought in. However, at this time, she still saw a little girl who thought everything was funny!
"Huh. Shibata-sama's head is bare, hahaha! Laughing made my stomach hurt. ”
"What do you say? The six people of power?"
"Yes! His expression was stern, and he was wearing a big, big dress......"
"Don't laugh, little one! Go and invite him in. ”
So after receiving permission, Shibata Gonrokukatsuya respectfully came to Tsuchida Gozen, sat down in front of him, and said, "There is something I would like to ask you to come forward. ”
"Quan Liu, did you lose this battle against His Royal Highness the General Minister?" Before Shibata Gonrokukatsu could say his request, Tsuchida Gozen suddenly asked.
"Yes...... Yes...... This is all the result of my right to be unreasonable, so I can lead to this kind of result. Shibata Gonrokukatsu was stunned for a moment, and then admitted with a little shame.
"In that case, it's tricky!" In fact, in addition to seeing the downfall of Shibata Quanrokukatsu's family, Tsuchida Gozen expected the result, so he asked a question.
"To show my sincerity and ask for the other party's understanding, I shaved my head." Shibata Gonroku Katsuya continued.
In fact, on the way back to Suemori Castle, Shibata Gonrokukatsu had already reflected. He finally realized the excellence of Oda Nobunaga, and thought that the big fool was just going around to spoil other people's land, but who knew that his purpose was to forge his body and understand the geography of his own domain for himself. He often does things that are out of the ordinary, and that's his strategy, so that no one else can see what his intentions are. It's no wonder that characters like Mino's pit will change their minds halfway through and are willing to work with him. His Royal Highness Nobuhide, the first lord, also said that he did not want to leave the position of governor to Nobuyuki. Hirate Masahide is shielding His Royal Highness Nobunaga everywhere. In retrospect, these people have already seen that he is extraordinary. But in any case, after all, he is the old man of the Xi family next to Oda Kanjuro Nobuyuki, who is now Musashi Mamoru named by His Royal Highness Nobuhide! If he has done such a wrong thing, he always has to clean up the aftermath, and as the elder of the Xi family, he must clean up the aftermath.
"You shaved your head and apologized to Mr. Shang...... Can this be the end of the matter?" At this time, Tsuchida Gozen asked rhetorically after hearing the words of Shibata Gonrokukatsu.
"I can't." Shibata Gonrokukatsu replied very dryly, "That strong-tempered family governor said that he would lead a large army here tomorrow. That's why I had to come overnight and ask for your forgiveness and help!"
"I ...... What do you think I can do?"
"I'm sorry! I would like you to send an envoy to Cheongju early tomorrow morning, in your name, okay?"
"Go to Mr. Kamisuke...... In what name will you send messengers?" Tsuchida said to himself at this time. After a little thought, she spoke again:
"Yes. For this incident, I, as a mother, have already severely blamed Nobuyuki and Quan Liu, and Quan Liu also regrets what he did very much, he shaved his head to show his remorse, and he will definitely be cautious in his words and deeds in the future. For this reason, I also brought the two of them to Cheongsu to apologize to you. For the sake of this mother, please forgive them...... I think it's best to say that, I wonder what you think? ”
"Thank you very much......" Shibata Gonrokukatsuya said, returning a samurai salute.
"By the way, since that's the case, let's ask Kanjuro to discuss it first."
"Madam, this is also the second thing to report next, Musashi-samaru has not returned to the city at this time." Shibata Gonrokukatsuya immediately said, "I was planning to send troops out to search, but there were thugs from Ise Kanshoji Temple outside the castle, so for the safety of the city and to avoid misunderstandings from the general manager, I had to come and discuss with you first." Shibata Quan Rokukatsuya said immediately. After all, after the defeat, he led a large army into battle, and it was easy for Lord Nobunaga to be mistaken for continuing the rebellion, and he was also worried that Nobunaga would take advantage of the situation.
"What, then hurry up and send someone out to find Kanjuro!" As soon as he heard that his favorite second son, Oda Nobuyuki, had not returned to the city, Tsuchida Gozen immediately panicked, so he hurriedly said, "Kami-sosuke is there, I will go and explain to him in person tomorrow." ”
So, that night, Shibata Gonrokukatsu immediately led a large army out overnight, expelling the believers of the Ichizon sect who were rioting, and looking for Oda Nobuyuki. After a night of fruitless results, Tsuchida Gozen hurried to Oda Nobunaga's military camp outside Nakono Castle in the early morning of the second day to meet Oda Nobunaga.
After facing Tsuchida Gozen's plea, Oda Nobunaga immediately announced that he would pardon the crimes of the Nobuyuki faction, and then the shaved head of Hayashi Xiuzhen, Shibata Katsuya and others immediately came to Oda Nobunaga's military tent to apologize. Oda Nobunaga also personally ordered them to be responsible for expelling the Ichisho mob who was still in Oda Nobuyuki's territory at this time. Strangely, Oda Nobuyuki still did not appear, and after several requests from Tsuchida Gozen, Oda Nobunaga had to intensify his search.
So, where was Oda Nobuyuki at this time? (To be continued......)
