Outside Kamiowari Iwakura Castle, Oda Nobunaga Honjin shogunate.

It was getting late, and Nobunaga watched the sun set. Today's weather is good, and half of the sky is dyed red, like Iwakura Castle on the other side.

Niwa Nagahide and Ikeda Tsuneko knelt behind her, looking at each other with trepidation.

Since the summer harvest, Oda Nobunaga has been busy launching the Northern Expedition. She'd endured it for too long, and waiting one more spring had almost exhausted her patience.

Fortunately, she didn't wait in vain, and the four counties of Kamiowari were almost passed down.

Faced with Oda Nobunaga's murderous army, the Ueowari samurai, who were persuaded by the Shimo-Owari samurai's secret tricks, barely resisted, and surrendered to Oda Nobunaga's military might.

Only Iwakura Castle, as the ancestral land of the foundation of the Iwakura Oda family, still insisted on resisting and not surrendering.

Nobunaga was not in a hurry, and shot into the city one by one the military reports of the surrender of the samurai from all over the country, and ordered the samurai who submitted to Ueowari to bring troops to come.

The flags of various families inside and outside the city fluttered one after another under the castle, making the Iwakura Oda family governor in the city Nobuyan panic all day long, and the morale in the city was declining day by day.

In the end, Oda Nobunaga had no intention of persuading him to surrender. As soon as the various places were pacified, they ordered each family to take turns to attack the city, day and night.

It was only a little more than a day before the city was broken.

"Hengxing, pass my orders.

Oda Nobuyasu assassinated the widow of the Shogunate family, Yoshiin, and raised troops to resist me, the guardian appointed by the shogunate, and the crime was unforgivable and the clan was punished.

All the martial artists who resisted with her were wiped out, thinking that future generations would be vigilant. ”

Ikeda Hengxing was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Oda Nobunaga's emotionless eyes, his heart trembled, and he let out a sigh of excitement and went out to give orders.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga was already the guardian of Owari, and he received more than 500,000 stones, and his mind became deeper and deeper.

Even her sister Ikeda Hengxing didn't dare to speak casually in front of her.

Niwa Nagahide felt that it was inappropriate, and he didn't dare to say it.

Nobunaga glanced at her.

"Do you think I'm doing too much?"

Niwa Nagahide hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Oda Nobuyasu doesn't know what to do, and he deserves it."

Oda Nobunaga nodded in satisfaction. Continue to watch the sunset that fascinates her. As for the cries coming from Iwakura Castle behind him, they were also deaf.

Niwa Nagahide wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kowtowed.

Today, Oda Nobunaga is becoming more powerful, and his behavior is more arbitrary than it was then. But so what?

The martial artists don't care if your family governor is domineering or not, they only need to be rewarded, as long as they know how to do it. Whoever can bring them benefits is the best governor.

The Iwakura Oda family has served as the guardian of Owari for generations, and it is also the heirloom of the Oda family.

Whether it is the inheritance conflict of the guardian generation or the suppression of the Shu clan by the clan, Oda Nobunaga is not prepared to leave her family.

After the incident of Spo Yoshigin, Nobunaga was a little annoyed. This time, she won't make the same mistake again.

All hidden dangers that threaten her rule in Owari must be eliminated, and not only the Iwakura Oda family will be destroyed, but even the samurai who helped Oda Nobuyan defend the castle this time will not be left behind.

What Niwa Nagahide wanted to say, she knew.

The martial arts society is respectful and orderly, and since it has already gained real benefits, it should be changed to reduce the seal and leave some leeway. Oda Nobunaga's freewheeling approach completely abandoned tradition.

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots like this will make the other martial artists fearful, afraid that they will have different intentions and have more accidents. After all, unconventional.

What a rule, Oda Nobunaga sneered in his heart.

She was not loved by her father since she was a child, and her mother threw her into the countryside as a wild child early, and her sister was even bent on pulling her down from the position of family governor.

Everything she has now is earned back with knives and guns and military strength.

What martial arts rules, what heavenly cycles, are all cowardly words of those losers who talk about **.

The strong should have everything, and the weak should kneel at the feet of the strong and beg for their lives.

As for the descendants of the legacy, hahahaha, who cares about the flood after I die.

Oda Nobunaga unified Owari and was looking at Mino with hot heart.

Sunpu Castle further east of the Tokaido Road, leading Surugawa, Enoe, and Mikawa, the Three Kingdoms 700,000 stone Daimyo Imagawa Yoshimoto is also sharpening his sword and preparing to go.

The Suruga Imagawa family said that it was a Ashikaga family, but its status was not high, and the three positions arranged by the shogunate in Tokaido can be seen.

The closest to the house is the Owari Spo family, then the Mikawa Kira family, which is a little farther away, and finally the Suruga Imagawa family at the corner of the Tokaido.

Among them, the closest is the Sibo family, one of the three leaders, followed by the Kira family, who is a low-ranking family.

As for the Imagawa family's boasting, Ashikaga has no queen Kiraji, and Kira has no queen Imagawaji, which is nothing more than a self-congratulatory deception of the people serving the country in the countryside in Tokaido.

Even if the Ashikaga family is the heir of each family, Hosokawa and Spo are not dead, which round to get Kira Imagawa These distant branches jumped out bb.

But the martial arts society still depends on strength after all.

The Imagawa family has been deeply involved in the Tokaido for ten generations, and in addition to the ancestral Suruga, they have also laid down the two countries of Enoe and Mikawa, with a stone height of 700,000 stones.

Imagawa Yoshimoto, as the eleventh governor of Imagawa, set up the Imagawa Kana directory and repaired politics internally. The diplomatic Takeda family, the Hojo family, formed a three-family alliance.

Since then, Imagawai Castle has owned the largest castle town in Tokaido, and its commerce has flourished in Sakai Port.

The Takeda family raided Shinano Province and the Hojo family raided Kanto, all of which made the Imagawa family earn a lot of money.

Takeda Koshu Gold and Hojo Izu Gold are among the world's most famous gold mines. The two families came to Sunfu Castle in exchange for grain and grass from Owari, weapons from Ise, and war horses from Mikawa.

The specialties of the first line of Tokaido have all been made by the Imagawa family, and their power is a few points higher than that of a million stone daimyo.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is also known as the first bow in Tokaido.

This bow means the person who holds the bow, referring to the strategists in her hands like rain, fierce generals like clouds, and the army is monstrous, and she is the first samurai of Tokaido.

Today, at the castle tower of Sunfu Castle, Imagawa Yoshimoto was in high spirits and spoke with his father Shougui Monk who was seated.

After the death of her teacher Taiyuan Xuezhai, her father was the closest person to her. It was these two who helped her to take the position at the beginning, and they assisted her internally and externally for many years.

Therefore, whenever there is something important to do, she will come to inform her father and listen to his opinion.

"Father, my daughter is determined to go to Luo."

"Shangluo?"

Shou Gui is the husband of the seventh Imagawa family governor, the father of the two Imagawa family governors, and Imagawa Yoshimoto is also her own daughter.

This person maintained the Imagawa family business all his life, and was appreciated by the internal and external samurai, and was known as a male daimyo.

When I heard that my daughter was going to Luo, I naturally didn't think she was going to Kyoto, so I thought about it carefully.

"You want to take advantage of the undecided Owari to destroy the Oda family?"

"Father is wise."

Imagawa Yoshimoto naturally wouldn't underestimate this, but he saw through his intentions at a glance, and he couldn't help but praise.

"The Miyoshi family and the shogunate have been fighting for several days, and they don't have time to take care of Tokaido, so it's a good opportunity for my family to show their strength.

Mino Saito Yoshiryu killed his mother and sister, Owari Oda Nobunaga forcibly seized the four counties of Uewari, and the domestic samurai were all flustered.

I mean to fake the name of Luo on the road, and occupy the end of the wari. Let's see if there's a chance to put a few wedges in Mino. ”

The Imagawa family is also difficult.

Although the family was strong, the shogunate had always disliked the Imagawa family, and her family was far away on the east side of Tokaido, so she could not help with recent matters. Therefore, I have been ignoring the Imagawa family.

And Tokaido is close to the Owari Oda family and the Mino Saito family, which is a powerful neighbor who is always staring at the east.

The Mikawa Matsudaira family destroyed the guardian Kira family, but in the end, the Imagawa family picked peaches and took the Mikawa country. How can you not make the two families jealous.

Now that Owari Mino is in turmoil, and the shogunate is too busy to take care of itself, it is a godsend.

This wave of the Imagawa family is stable.
