Oda Nobunaga said proudly.

"Asai Hime, as far as I know.

The leader of Shiba Todo was originally a group of several villages in Inugami County who gathered together to keep warm. Because Todo Tora was tall and capable, the ladies elected her as the leader and called her the Todo clan.

Tōdō Tōgao sent the Tōdō clan's land to Lord Kenshin. It was nothing at first, but the Tōdō clan got the imperial family status and everyone was very happy.

But later, Duke Kenshin was rewarded by the shogunate for his great contribution in defeating Miyoshi Nagakei, and received the guardianship of Iga and Hokudawa, as well as the territory of 200,000 koku, and officially revived the Shiba family.

In order to thank the daughter of Todo Toradaka for his military exploits, Lord Kenshin was willing to transfer the 10,000 koku of land that Toudō Torakaka had sent to him and turn it into a tributary of the Shiba family, thus helping the Toudou family become a minor daimyo of ten thousand koku.

Now, some people within the Teng Hall are not happy."

Asai Nagamasa frowned.

"I remembered that there seemed to be internal strife among the Teng Hall members at that time, and many people died."

Oda Nobunaga nodded.

"The Koga clan told me that in order to obtain the power of the 10,000 koku Shiba-affiliated daimyo, Todo Torakaka went on a killing spree and forcibly suppressed the old sisters who had shared weal and woe in the past.

The battle of Norada was the credit of the entire Toudo family, but in the end, only the Toudo family was saved. Other villages were not willing to serve as wedding dresses for the Toudo family's rapid rise, and became tributaries of the Toudo family.

Todo Tora did nothing but kill all the old friends who claimed to have meritorious service, and usurped the entire Todo Hall's ten thousand stone foundation.

Asai-hime, have you ever heard of the name of Oda’s Seven Guns?”

Asai Nagamasa thought for a while and said.

"Oda, the governor of Oda Village of Todo Town, is known as the best spearman in Inugami County. He also made great achievements in the battle at Noragada."

Oda Nobunaga smiled a little coldly, she really admired Toudo Toraka's decisiveness.

"The Oda family has made great achievements in the Norada battle, and is famous in Lord Kenshin's ears.

Because he was dissatisfied with Todo Torogo's attempt to annex the entire Todo clan, Governor Oda wanted to appeal to Lord Kenshin. As a result, the whole family, one mother and six daughters, all died on the road.

However, there was a daughter who was lucky. Her heart was located a little farther away than ordinary people, and even though she was shot through the heart, she did not die.

Although the person is not dead, the hatred of destroying his family is heartbreaking, and he hates Todo Tora to the core."

Asai Nagamasa said in a deep voice.

"Has His Majesty Oda found her?"

Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows, pretending to be reserved. She didn't care whether the Oda girl was a real person or just an excuse for the Koga people to pretend.

"It was the Koga people who came up with this idea for me. Todo Toraoka was unjust in the first place, and it is only natural that Oda should seek revenge from Todo Toraoka.

Even if Duke Qianxin learned about this, he would have nothing to say, right?

The Oda family shed blood for him during the Norada War. It doesn't make sense that Todo Torako wanted to be famous for his family, but the Oda family suffered a terrible death.

Now, the Oda woman has come back to take revenge, Todo Torako died unjustly, and Mr. Kenshin can give an explanation.

I have to say that the Jiahe people do have some abilities, and they deserve to be rewarded with a meal."

Oda Nobunaga looked at Asai Nagamasa with a smile. For the sake of the in-laws of both parties, she gave him enough face.

Asai Nagamasa's eyes narrowed, and he knew that Oda Nobunaga was impatient. This eldest sister had done a good job, and he couldn't be ignorant.

It was not the fault of the Asai family that Toraka Todo died in a private feud. Even if Yoshihiro Shiba knew there was something fishy about it, he had nothing to say.

In this way, even if the relationship between Shiba Asai and his family turns cold, they will still be able to maintain a good reputation and will not fall out directly.

After all, the Hokurikudo trade route passes through Kitaomi, and maintaining harmonious relations is beneficial to both parties. It is impossible for Yoshigan Shiba to go to war over a dead Todo Torakaka.

As for the Shiba Todo leader, without the existence of Todo Togao, this ten thousand stone territory can no longer be overturned.

In order to become the Great Name of Ten Thousand Stones, Todo Toradaka raised a butcher knife against all the old friends of Todo. She died unexpectedly, and it was inevitable that the Todo leader would be in turmoil.

Death is like a lamp going out. The samurai family of the two counties of Aichi Inu are willing to give Todo Tora high honor, but they will not be polite to her daughter.

Besides, there is something going on inside the Todo leader. Todo Gaotora is young and may not be able to suppress it.

Asai Nagamasa's eyes flashed sharply and he said decisively.

"I understand. Let the Koga people do it according to His Highness Oda's plan."

Oda Nobunaga raised the corners of her mouth and nodded slowly. Today, she successfully cut off the foreign aid of Yoshigina Shiba.

While Yoshihiro Shiba was entangled with the scoundrels of the shogunate, Oda Nobunaga was steadily advancing his strategy.

Oda's army suppressed Minami Omi, shocking the unconvinced local samurai. She then assisted Asai Nagamasa in taking over the three seemingly distant prefectures, and strengthened the relationship between the two parties as in-laws and allies.

Now that the transfer of power to the shogunate has been completed, it remains to be seen how Ashikaga Yoshiaki will treat Yoshihiro Shiba after he takes office? Will he be gentle or...

The sound of footsteps outside the porch interrupted Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, and the voice of Mori Ranmaru sounded outside the sliding door.

"In the main hall, Lord Hashiba Hideyoshi asks to see you. He said that he has something important to tell you."

Oda Nobunaga said.

"Open the door and let her come over."

"Hi!"

The sliding door opened wide, Oda Nobunaga looked outside and said.

"It's almost noon. How long have you been to the castle town, Ichi-kun?"

Asai Nagamasa frowned slightly and was a little worried.

"Hashiba-sama is here. Could it be that something happened to the mayor in the castle town?"

Oda Nobunaga thought for a moment and shook his head.

"We'll find out when Hideyoshi comes."

After a moment, Hashiba Hideyoshi appeared outside the door with Mori Ranmaru, his eyebrows furrowed, and he entered the room with a solemn expression and saluted.

Oda Nobunaga saw her like this and said.

"Why are you looking so sad? The sky is not falling. Did something happen to the mayor in the castle town?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head and said.

"His Royal Highness the City Lord is fine, but there was another accident.

Since this morning, rumors have been spreading in the castle town, all of which are slanderous and slanderous words that slander the reputation of Odai."

Oda Nobunaga's face turned cold, and Asai Nagamasa beside him was furious.

“Baqiya Road!

The Imperial Palace is very upright and honorable. Yesterday, I gave Lord Gongfang the golden seal of his sword to support the general's rise to power.

Today, some people started to spread rumors and smear the name of the Supreme Being. These people are really impatient!"

No one is a fool. It happened so coincidental that it is really suspicious.

Because of yesterday's seat incident, Asai Nagamasa had no confidence in the integrity of the people in the shogunate, and immediately suspected that someone was up to something.

Oda Nobunaga was cautious, she narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Have you caught the person spreading the rumors?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba bowed.

“I did catch a few people spreading rumors, but they didn’t admit that they had created the rumors, and they just followed the trend and spread nonsense.

According to them, these filthy words began to circulate in the castle town wine shop at midnight last night, as if they suddenly broke out."

Oda Nobunaga said coldly.

"There is no shortage of rumors in Kyoto. Why are you so eager to report it to me on the grounds of important matters?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba said seriously.

“There’s something really wrong with the main hall.

In addition to me arresting people, the shogunate also sent people to arrest those who spread rumors in the castle towns.

As you know, the Isshiki family in charge of the shogunate's court fled back to Tango Kingdom to seek refuge last autumn, and no one has returned yet.

Our people are now responsible for maintaining public order in the castle town. The shogunate is in chaos these days, and no one is involved in the affairs of the castle town.

But this morning, the security team gathered by the samurai warriors from various shogunate families came to the castle town.

They didn't care about anything. They only arrested a few drunkards who were spreading rumors about Ootaisho. They made a lot of noise and paraded through the streets. They also asked me to leave the rumor-mongering suspects I caught.

Originally, these rumors could not have spread so quickly, but now they have caused a stir because of their interference.

What they did is really very suspicious."

Asai Nagamasa was furious when he heard this, and Oda Nobunaga said solemnly.

"Do you have evidence?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba said.

"There is no direct evidence, but I sent people to secretly follow the shogunate security team and found that they threw those who spread the rumors into the palace.

You know, there is no one in charge of the temple now. As soon as the security team left, the gatekeeper of the temple took a few coins and let the person go.
