In the recent chaos, Oda Nobunaga was exhausted, and most of the reasons fell on Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a poor official.
Although the prestige of the Ashikaga shogunate collapsed and the foreign lords no longer respected the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's imperial letter was the moral basis for various families to unite and form Nobunaga's siege network.
If Yoshihiro Shiba wants to mediate for all parties, he must first eliminate the unstable factors of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the great tengu.
Otherwise, while Shiba Yoshigan was talking, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was behind and sent a decree accusing Oda Nobunaga of being an enemy of the samurai family, the shogunate would really become a joke.
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't care that the shogunate became a joke, but if she didn't want Yoshigan Shiba's prestige to be damaged, she had to deal with the troublesome Ashikaga Yoshiaki first.
At that time, Mihao Changqing was buffed by two debuffs: Enemy of the Buddha and Enemy of the Wu Family. He was in a stalemate on the battlefield, and with the smoke rising behind him, he finally had to retreat sadly.
If Yoshigan Shiba hadn't returned early, Akechi Mitsuhide wouldn't have minded giving Oda Nobunaga these two debuffs to try.
Unfortunately, there is no chance this time.

Akechi Mitsuhide lamented that things went against his wishes, and he could only follow Yoshihiro Shiba's wishes and clear the way for his master.
She knew her master too well, and at this time, Yoshigami was indeed rushing to Mount Hiei, hoping to quell the recent war.
Swarovski's new ideas of peaceful development are taking root in Kanto, forming an emerging political ecology that the Yi Bank needs.
In recent years, Sibo has received the annuity benefits that have just been launched here, and the life in Sibo is full of vitality.
Both aspects require economic support from the Hokuriku Road trade route. Without material foundation, there is no way to talk about harmony and win-win.
The biggest problem in samurai society at this stage is the contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of samurai warriors and the productivity destroyed by the war.
The most important point of the peaceful development route proposed by Yoshigan in Kanto is to ensure that the campaigns of other samurai lords will not destroy the stability of Shiba territory. Stability is paramount.
Only when it is stabilized can the life of the martial arts family in Sibo widen the gap between the martial arts family outside and become a beacon in troubled times, allowing the martial arts families all over the world to accept Yiyin's ideological line.
Now, Sakai Port and Tsuruga Port are under the threat of war, and wars are ongoing along the water transport along the recent sections of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road. This has put a lot of pressure on the economic operation of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road.
Compared to Mitsuhide Akechi, Yoshihiro Shiba, who has lived in modern society, knows one thing better: capital longs for safety, and any disturbance will cause panic and flight of capital.
If Yiyin wants to maintain its own hard-core crops, it must provide capital with a safe and reliable market on the Hokuriku Trade Route in order to avoid a depression similar to the Tokaido Trade Route.
It doesn't matter if others like war, but Yoshihiro himself must show that he hates war and will do his best to protect the Hokuriku trade route.
Only in this way can we give confidence to all parties investing in the Hokuriku Trade Route and make them willing to invest money to continue playing in this market.
Today's recent investors on the Hokurikudo trade route include various earth warehouses in Sakai Port and Kyoto.
Among the sources, there are sectarian temples, famous shogunate families, and local powerful people. Their positions are different, but their demands for the Hokuriku Road trade route are the same, that is, to make money.
Therefore, even if Yi Bank is acting, it must show a peace-loving gesture so that they can rest assured to put their money in the big market on the Hokuriku Road Trading Road instead of choosing to cut their losses and run away.
The Tokaido trade route that Imagawa Yoshimoto finally built and the prosperous Sunfu Castle, the Pearl of the East China Sea, have completely declined in just a few years. This is a lesson from the past!
In order to provide the necessary soil and fertilizer for its own Shiba New Thoughts, Yiyin paid more and more attention to the Hokuriku Trade Road day by day.
Mitsuhide Akechi is an excellent strategist who is good at playing politics, but professional matters such as economics are beyond her ability.
Not only has she caused turmoil in recent times and caused trouble for the Hokuriku Trade Route, she has also written to the Bank of Japan, requesting the establishment of an inquiry party to summarize and sort out the accounts and business information of the Hokuriku Trade Route over the years.
Akechi Mitsuhide knew that she had offended Takata Harano, but she did not know how deeply she had offended Takata Harano.
The ditch in the middle of the Hokuriku Road Trading Road is too messy and deep. To summarize and organize it is to uncover the secret operations between Takada Haruno and various companies. Is this to check the manuscripts and perform an audit?
Before leaving Tsuruga Port, Yoshihiro carefully reviewed the latest documents brought by Momochi Santaifu. In addition to information, they were requests for instructions from important ministers.
The two most important ones were the news from Nizi Katsuhisa that Mibuchi Haru was sick and asked for help, and the request from Akechi Mitsuhide to open a consultation prescription.
In response, Yiyin wrote two letters.
One letter was written to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, recalling the past of Yoshigan and her adoptive mother Miyoshi Nagakei, stating that he would lead troops to Izumi and Hanoi, and was willing to hunt with the Miyoshi family again in the Yodogawa River.
One letter was addressed to Haruno Takada. He expressed his approval for Mitsuhide Akechi's proposal and Katsuhisa Nizi's support for the inquiry, and asked Harano Takada to cooperate well and further improve the Shiba family's laws.
Although he knew that Takada Harano would be very angry, Yiyin, which paid more and more attention to the Hokuriku Dou trade route, still agreed to Akechi Mitsuhide's proposal to establish a Kanchu party.
Shiban hurried away with the letter, and Yoshigan also set foot on the road to Mount Hiei.
How fearful Miyoshi Yoshitsugi was and how troubled Takada Harano was were not within the scope of Yoshigan's consideration. What he had to think about now was how to resolve the crisis of the confrontation between the armies up and down Mount Hiei.
———
Usayama Castle, inside the residence hall.
Oda Nobunaga was playing with a small sword. When she saw Yoshigoshi Shiba brought into the room by Mori Ranmaru, she returned the blade to its sheath, bowed and smiled.
"You won't blame me for not going out of the city to greet him in person, right? It's really because of the busy military affairs that I can't get away."
Yiyin looked at her sitting there leisurely and contentedly, with the unsheathed Kodachi spinning smartly in her palm. She was not as busy as she said.
But it was this slack attitude that made Yoshigami admire Oda Nobunaga's psychological quality.
The current situation of the Oda family is not an exaggeration to call it besieged on all sides. For Oda Nobunaga to be so relaxed, she is too confident.
Yi Gin didn't care, but the Kamao clan behind him was already showing an angry look.
The Lord came to mediate for all parties. In fact, he was helping the Oda family find a place to get off the stairs so that Oda Nobunaga could relax.
But the surly Oda Nobunaga not only did not come out to greet him, but also showed him weapons in the room. It was really unreasonable!
But the master didn't say anything, so she could only express her indignation with her eyes, so as not to do anything else that would ruin the master's important event.
The room was not big, Yoshigan sat opposite Oda Nobunaga and said softly.
"Aren't you willing to give in?"
Oda Nobunaga's eyes were blurred, looking at the Kodachi held tightly in her hand. Of course she knew that borrowing the donkey was the best choice at this time.
The sudden appearance of Nobunaga's encirclement net entangled her so much that she could not breathe. The Oda family needed to reorganize their layout, and she needed to take back her fists. All this took time.
But when he thought of his embarrassment, being seen by Shiba Yoshigan, and even relying on his prestige to get out of the predicament, Oda Nobunaga felt angry in his heart.
It's so ugly. Why did he let him see his useless virtues?
Oda Nobunaga took two deep breaths and slammed the Kodachi sword with its scabbard on the document. The force was so strong that he almost broke the document into pieces.
Yoshigan looked at Kodachi and Oda Nobunaga said.
"I gave this knife to Sen Kecheng back then, in order to thank her for her bravery in the Battle of Daosheng.
She is from Meinong and was taken under my command by my mother. She has always been my direct minister and has always been loyal to me. She also behaves appropriately and has never made any mistakes.
After all these years of going around and around, I have become accustomed to putting her up wherever I feel uneasy. It was the same this time, but I didn't expect that it would actually kill her.
She defended Usayama Castle and guarded my retreat. The Asakura family's attack was repelled by her, and Asai Nagamasa couldn't do anything to her.
In the end, she was disrupted by the Hieisanni regiment who suddenly joined the battle. She died in the battle in order to cover the retreat of the rebels.
Because of her desperate efforts, this Usayama Castle was still not captured by Asai Asakura's coalition forces, and was still firmly in my hands.
Nagamasa Asai betrayed his trust, and the Hieizan Tendai Sect destroyed the tacit agreement between samurai sects not to interfere with each other. Do you think I should just let it go?"
Yiyin listened silently, Sen Kecheng and him were old acquaintances, and recalling the Battle of Daosheng back then, it was like yesterday.
Next to them, Mori Ranmaru, with tears streaming down his face, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Oda Nobunaga. She was Mori Katsunari's daughter, and when she heard Oda Nobunaga praising her late mother so much, she couldn't help but feel emotional.
Oda Nobunaga and Mori Ranmaru had a special relationship that transcended that of a monarch and a minister. When he saw her crying so hard, he immediately felt pity for her and reached out to wipe away her tears.
But when his hand reached mid-air, it froze. Oda Nobunaga subconsciously looked at Yoshigami, as if he was a little embarrassed. Would he mind the mutual affection between him and Mori Ranmaru?
Back then in Kiyosu Castle, Oda Nobunaga doted on Aichi Juami.
Because he was jealous of Oda Nobunaga, he summoned Yoshigoshi Shiba to come and stay at his bedside. He uttered obscene words in front of Maeda Toshiie, and was found out by Maeda Toshiie. That incident was very embarrassing.
Now that Oda Nobunaga had to show his love for his new favorite in front of Yoshigan, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She found that she was becoming more and more concerned about Yoshigan's thoughts.
How did Yoshigan know about the weird thoughts in Oda Nobunaga's mind? Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The relationship between Takeda Shingen and Kosaka Masanobu was even better, so much so that they shared bicycles. Yoshigan didn't say anything because he didn't think he was at a disadvantage anyway.
Oda Nobunaga coughed lightly, threw Mori Katsunari's Kodachi to Mori Ranmaru, and pretended to be serious in scolding him.
"Why are you crying? Generals will inevitably die in battle. This is the fate of the Wu family. Your mother died fighting for me, so I will naturally reward the Mori family generously and let her rest in peace.
Take your mother's Kodachi and act like a real Hime warrior, and don't embarrass her! Okay, stop crying and get out first!"
Mori Ranmaru kowtowed to the ground, wiped his tears and walked out.
Yoshigami nodded to Kamao Clan and asked her to go out too. He needed to talk to Oda Nobunaga alone.
This guy wants to save face and suffer. His butt is on fire and he still wants to show off his strength. If there are others present, Yiyin is afraid that she won't be able to let go of her face and it's hard to persuade her.
To be continued...
