Araki Murashige was determined to monopolize Settsu Country, so he was naturally happy to cooperate with Matsuhisa Hide.
Higashisettsuzu was once a subordinate assigned to Matsunagahide by Miyoshi Nagakei, and Takayama Shigetomo was an old minister of Matsunagahide. Matsunagahide only had a little manipulation, and Wada Weimasa died in an unknown manner.
Then, Matsunagahide brought together Araki Murashige and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to make peace, and asked Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to turn the target of his next attack to Izumi and Kawachi, and lead the troops as far as Mibuchi Fujihide in Kitakawachi.
Wada Weimasa died unexpectedly, Mibuchi Fujihide was in panic all day long under the attack of Miyoshi's army, and Matsunagahide, who was behind all this, also successfully eliminated two mortal enemies.
This good trick made Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't help but applaud her, it was really amazing.
But things in this world are never isolated. Matsushita Nagahide set the dominoes, dooming Oda Nobunaga's arrangement in Nishisettsu to completely collapse.
Because of the death of his mother Wada Weimasa, Wada Nobunaga ran to Oda Nobunaga's seat and cried, asking for a decision.
But Oda Nobunaga has too much time to take care of himself at this time, and she still needs to rely on Araki Murashige for matters related to Settsu Country. How can she help Wada Nobunaga speak for her.
As a result, Wada Nobunaga was dismissed by Oda Nobunaga, and Araki Murashige received Oda Nobunaga's promise to become the new guardian of Settsu.
Originally, Oda Nobunaga expected Araki Murashige to continue to cooperate with his strategy to stop the invasion of the Miyoshi family in Settsu Country, so that Oda Nobunaga could return to Kyoto with peace of mind and clean up Asai Asakura.
But for his own benefit, Matsunagahide helped connect Araki Murashige and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, so that the two people could reach peace.
On the other hand, after Wada Nobunaga was reprimanded by Oda Nobunaga, when he returned to Takatsuki Castle, he became more and more frightened and resentful as he thought about it.
When Wada Weimasa was alive and serving Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Wada Nobunaga secretly sought refuge with Oda Nobunaga and betrayed the shogunate's intelligence in the hope that the Wada family would ride on the Oda family's chariot and prosper.
Now that Wada Nobunaga died tragically, Oda Nobunaga turned a blind eye to the person who killed Wada Nobunaga, making Wada Nobunaga the laughing stock of the samurai. This ruthlessness chilled Wada Nobunaga.
Under the instigation of Araki Murashige, Wada Weinaga decided to strike first and deceive Takayama Shigetomo, a powerful samurai from the Higashikatsu community, into Takaki Castle and kill him.
As a result, Wada Weichang was seriously injured and fled back to his hometown in Minami Omi. Takayama Shigetomo was seriously injured and surrendered to Araki Murashige. The entire Settsu Kingdom was controlled by Araki Murashige.
Oda Nobunaga could tolerate Araki Murashige killing Wada Weimasa and control the entire Settsu Kingdom.
However, Araki Murashige did not start a war with the Miyoshi family, and even watched with a smile as the Miyoshi family attacked Mibuchi Fujihide, who belonged to the Oda family. This completely shattered Oda Nobunaga's layout in Nishisettsu.
And the truth that Arakimura Shige revealed to Wada Noinaga also exposed the villainous behavior of Matsunaga Hide in it.
Although Oda Nobunaga did not find any evidence, everyone knew who caused the complete collapse of Oda Nobunaga's strategic deployment in Western Konki.
The Oda family governor is famous for his vengeance. When she frees up her hands, will Matsunagahide have a good life?
Therefore, when Matsunagahide found out that Wada Nomaga and Takayama Shigeto had merged and Araki Murashige had occupied Takaki Castle, he knew that he was in dire straits.
Oda Nobunaga could not tolerate his over-the-line behavior again and again, especially when it caused such serious consequences and harmed the interests of the Oda family.
Oda Nobunaga's checks and balances on Araki Murashige were destroyed, and he had to tolerate the arrogance of the new Settsu guardian.
All this is because of Matsunagahide's selfishness. Will she be able to live a good life in the future?
Matsunaga looked at the calm and composed Akechi Mitsuhide and knew that she should be a close friend of this sinister woman again. She simply kowtowed to the ground and shouted.
"Akechiji, save me!"
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and sighed.
"Matsunaga-hime, I really don't know what to say about you. You are so clever that you are mistaken for your cleverness. Your Majesty Oda's plan for the Miyoshi family was ruined by you.
For this plan, you can only cooperate well with Tsuta-dono and allow Tsuta-dono to successfully complete His Highness Oda's entrustment, and then I can help you to speak and plead for mercy."
