Before Yoshigan could speak, Oda Nobunaga had already jumped out to object.
she said.
"The imperial office should go to Luo sooner rather than later. Now that the martial arts families inside and outside Kyoto are all interested in our army, it is the best time to go to Luo.
If the delay is too long, the news will inevitably be leaked, making Miyoshi Yoshitsugi alert and making those who are interested in joining our army suspicious.
Since the Asai family is inconvenienced, His Highness Asai can withdraw the troops and reorganize first, and I am willing to undertake the subsequent logistics and transportation."
Asai Nagamasa narrowed his eyes and did not refute, but just looked at Shiba Yoshigan in silence.
Oda Nobunaga was too preoccupied and wanted to seize Luo's credit, which was very unfair to the Asai family.
The Asai family mobilized peasants and soldiers at the most critical moment of spring plowing, and suffered the greatest losses. But now that spring plowing is halfway through, and the Oda family mobilizes peasants and soldiers again, the losses on both sides are completely different.
Moreover, Oda Nobunaga would definitely not mobilize people from the distant countries of Mino and Owari. She would instruct the samurai families from North Ise and South Omi who had taken refuge in her to mobilize peasants and soldiers.
The samurai families in these two places had just taken refuge with her and could not resist her orders. You must know that Oda Nobunaga's 30,000 troops are in Minamiomia and can directly suppress the disobedient in the two places at any time.
Allowing these samurai families that had just been attached to mobilize peasants and soldiers would not affect the spring plowing of the Oda family, nor damage the strength of the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga's calculation was too accurate.
The Oda family occupied the Suzuka Pass, and the road between Minami Omi and Kita Ise was smooth. The local samurai family mobilized farmers and soldiers to cooperate, so there would be no problem in transporting supplies.
To put it simply, after Oda Nobunaga captured Minami-Omi, the logistical assistance of the Asai family no longer mattered. The Oda family could enter and exit through the southern line of Suzuka Pass, and the importance of Asai Nagamasa declined.
Is this not burning a bridge? Asai Nagamasa was so angry that she looked at Shiba Yoshigan, hoping that the imperial court would come out to uphold justice.
Yiyin suddenly felt a headache.
He had known for a long time that Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa would inevitably have conflicts over the land of Minami Omi. He had always wanted to blur the disputes within the coalition and postponed it to Kamiro.
But Oda Nobunaga went too far on his own and bullied the Asai family too much. As the general of the coalition forces, if Yoshigami didn't speak out, it would damage his image of being fair and strict.
But he really couldn't say anything. Oda Nobunaga, a bastard like him, would never spit out the benefits of swallowing. If Yoshigan comes out to uphold justice but cannot implement it, it will also damage his prestige.
In short, Yoshigan is full of righteousness, but his strength is far inferior to that of Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa. He actually feels very uncomfortable when talking and doing things. His fists are not strong enough, so he cannot give justice even if he wants to.
Yoshigan thought for a while and decided to only talk about the military affairs of Luo. As for the conflict between the Oda Asai family in the distribution of interests in Minami Omi, they could not be involved.
Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa both stared at Yoshigan, but Yoshigan ignored them and turned his gaze elsewhere.
he asked Hosokawa Fujitaka.
"The concubines of Kyoto are ready to take action. Are the Hosokawa Mibuchi family planning to take action as well?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka is very aggrieved these days because Yoshigan is angry with the Hosokawa Mibuchi family's passive behavior and treats her coldly.
At this time, seeing that Yoshigan finally looked at him with a straight eye, Hosokawa Fujitaka cheered up, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"There is a message from the two family governors of Hosokawa Mibuchi. After the spring plowing, they will mobilize their troops and march to the Yamashiro Kingdom to participate in the battle of Shangluo."
Yiyin nodded.
The Hosokawa Mibuchi family is a traditional samurai family. They are not as wealthy as Oda Nobunaga and cannot afford to fight out of season. It is normal practice to mobilize after spring plowing.
Yoshigan asked Ashikaga Yoshiaki gently.
"Your Highness Yoshiaki, the battle of Kamiro is your first battle. Are you willing to go to Sakamoto Castle and lead the Ashikaga warriors to fight in Kyoto to avenge your sister?"
Ashikaga Yoshiaki had just returned to secular life. She had never touched a weapon since she was a child and grew up in a temple, so she naturally didn't know how to fight.
But after going to Luo, she became the new Ashikaga shogun, the leader of the samurai family in the world. How could she not know how to fight? She watched and learned along the way, which was regarded as completing the first formation.
Considering that this should be the last battle in Shangluo, Yiyin hopes that she can lead an army alone and follow the coalition forces to gain important military qualifications.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was stunned, and Wada Weimasa was beside him and pulled her sleeves desperately, eager to help her agree.
Wada Yimasa thought that Shiba Yoshigin was too wise. The Ashikaga Horsemen were the core armed force of the Ashikaga family, and Yoshimasa Niki was able to command them in Sakamoto Castle because he relied on the legacy of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
But now, Yoshigan Shiba authorized them to be handed over to the command of Ashikaga Yoshiaki to participate in the Battle of Kamiro. This was to forcefully stuff benefits into Ashikaga Yoshiaki's pocket.
In the current situation, everyone in Kyoto is calling for a fight with the three good armies. The final battle has not yet started, and everyone believes that the Shangluo coalition will definitely win.
Yoshigan Shiba was sending troops to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and giving him military honors to solidify the foundation for her to rule the shogunate in the future.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not stupid, and she did not need Wada Weimasa to remind herself. She was in a daze, but she did not expect that Yoshihiro Shiba would be so generous to her.
Yoshigami Shiba's prestige is growing day by day, and he is also the widow of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. As long as he gives an order, the Ashikaga warriors in Sakamoto Castle will definitely obey his order.
But he handed over the core force of the Ashikaga family to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and his intention to help her rise to power was very sincere.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki subconsciously touched his face. Is it because he looks so similar? Is it because Yoshihiro Shiba has such a deep feeling for Ashikaga Yoshiteru? Or is it because of other reasons?
She stopped thinking wildly, gathered her mind, and bowed.
"I want to go!"
Yiyin nodded in approval.
The fact that he is so polite to Ashikaga Yoshiaki is indeed a bit of a show-off.
Because he could not truly avenge Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the guilt in his heart deepened day by day. Supporting this sister-in-law who looked like Ashikaga Yoshiteru was indeed a compensatory generosity.
On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga's pace was too fast, making people breathless.
Yoshigan had to speed up the promotion of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, hoping that after the Kyoto shogunate was re-established, the samurai family of the shogunate could be united as soon as possible to resist the threat from the Oda family.
At this time, Asai Nagamasa's expression softened, while Oda Nobunaga's expression became ugly.
Yoshigan's arrangement with the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was obviously to delay going to Luo and wait for the completion of spring plowing before going out into battle.
This means agreeing to Asai Nagamasa's request and rejecting Oda Nobunaga's proposal.
It's just that Yoshigan didn't say it to his face, which saved Oda Nobunaga's face. He also found enough reasons, leaving Oda Nobunaga speechless.
There is no guarantee of victory in a war. Even when a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength, not to mention the rapidly changing battlefield. Yoshihiro wants to fight steadily to ensure the chance of victory, and Oda Nobunaga has nothing to say.
The shogunate and the Tendai Sect were in the north, Sakamoto Castle and the Kamiro Allied Forces were in the east, and the Hosokawa Mibuchi family was in the west. The Miyoshi military forces of Yamashiro Kingdom were besieged on three sides.
However, this is not enough, the Jinsbo Territory in the south also needs to be moved.
Yiyin's eyes narrowed, the time was ripe for him to return to the nearby Sibo territory.
The Koga people surrendered, and the road from Koga County to Iga Country has been opened. He can use Koga County at any time to return to Konkisuba.
Politically speaking, except for Mitsuhide Akechi, who knew he had no way to argue and would be punished equally, other important officials of the Spurs in recent years have taken the initiative to surrender to Yoshigan.
Economically, Ishida Mitsunari came up with the first version of the Shiba Chu Fund pilot plan, and Yi Bank was ready to go back and announce it. He used the Tadashi Fund to win over people's hearts and regain the actual control of Sibo in recent years.
Militarily, in recent years, Sibo's military forces need to be mobilized to attack the Shancheng Kingdom from the south, and cooperate with each other to form a strategic situation of encirclement on all sides against the three good military forces to increase the probability of victory.
Yiyin thought for a moment and said.
"His Majesty Asai needs to go back once, and I also need to go back to Konkisbo Territory to mobilize the army to join the war.
The stakes in this battle are very important. We must win without losing. We must ensure that everything is foolproof. Please be patient for a while and wait for loyal people from all sides to respond to Luo.
please."
Yoshigan bowed slightly, and everyone kowtowed in return. No matter how unhappy Oda Nobunaga was at this moment, he had no choice but to endure it for now.
Yoshihiro used the reason that he also wanted to take back the money to excuse Asai Nagamasa. How could Oda Nobunaga object?
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Asai Nagamasa, then looked at Yoshigan Shiba, and suddenly a sense of vigilance arose in his heart. Would Yoshigan Shiba watch helplessly as he swallowed Minami Omi?
He knew that he had ambitions to serve the world. When he was still in Owari, Oda Nobunaga never concealed his ambitions.
So the question arises, after completing Kamikaze and establishing the shogunate, what attitude will Yoshihiro Saba take towards the Oda family?
Oda Nobunaga suddenly realized that his relationship with the Asai family should not be too tense, otherwise he would only push Asai Nagamasa to Shiba Yoshigan, which would be very detrimental to him.
The dispute between North and South Omi has been going on for a long time, almost running through the entire 200-year history of the Ashikaga Shogunate. This was a deliberate act by successive Ashikaga shoguns in order to restrict the powerful Sasaki clan of Omi.
Now Oda Nobunaga has taken Minami Omi, and Asai Nagamasa is entrenched in North Omi. Will the new shogunate continue to use the old method of provoking a dispute between North and South Omi to limit the expansion of the Oda family?
As for the recent ones, the Oda family is new here, and Asai Nagamasa is Oda Nobunaga's in-law. Now that Minami Omi has been obtained, stop being aggressive and give the shogunate an opportunity to take advantage of it.
After all, the two sides are allies, and they will gain more by uniting the Asai family than by being hostile to them.
Although Oda Nobunaga is still wary of the proud Asai Nagamasa, this does not prevent her from trying to survive this Omi eagle and win her to her side.
What if boiling the eagle succeeds?
A smile appeared on Oda Nobunaga's lips, and his eyes looked at Asai Nagamasa with a hint of meaning.
She began to think about the demands of the Asai family and see if she could find a way to seek common ground while reserving differences and win over this powerful in-law of Kitaomi. As long as Asai Nagamasa no longer peeked at Minamiomi, everything else would be easy to discuss.
After taking over the land of Minami Omi, the territory of the Oda family has expanded to two million koku, making it the most powerful clan in the world. What followed was Oda Nobunaga's growing self-confidence.
She felt that she had enough strength and bargaining chips to make Asai Nagamasa bow her head with both soft and hard tactics.
Yoshigan Shiba and Nobunaga Oda were smiling on their faces, and they continued to play games in secret. Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the side looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at Oda Nobunaga, and then looked carefully at Shiba Yoshigan. During this long winter, she had experienced twists and turns and matured rapidly.
She is far inferior to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the resolute and determined strong-willed Kōgata. Maybe the four words "Feng Nengshen" have learned the essence, and it is not easy to be a poor Kōgata.
The Battle of Kamiro was an external campaign against the Rokkaku Miyoshi family, but within the coalition there was a raging undercurrent of Yoshigan Saba and Nobunaga Oda competing for the initiative.
At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still a puppet who relies on others. She has no right to be dissatisfied. She can only bury all her emotions deep in her heart and wait for the success of Shangluo and inherit the throne.
Are the golden scales just a thing in the pond? They turn into dragons when encountering wind and clouds.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki subconsciously clenched her fists. She will definitely become Ashikaga General and the most noble person in the world of the samurai family!
Both Shiba Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga will eventually bow at her feet.
The three of them had their own concerns, but the scene was a happy one, and they finally decided on the strategic idea of encirclement on all sides after spring plowing.
———
Ueno Castle in Iga Province, Maeda looks to the northeast, which is the direction of Kannonji Castle.
Mother Maeda Toshihisa was busy directing the spring plowing, but she was hiding in the castle tower doing nothing.
My mother complained several times, but she pretended to be naive and got away with it. But no one knew that her heart was full of confusion and regret.
The master still hasn't come back.
Although Otani Yoshitsugi vowed after her return, saying that she had obtained the master's understanding and ensured the unity of Todo Takatora.
But when he thought that his master would rather go to Luo with that Oda Nobunaga than come back, Maeda's heart was filled with melancholy.
Back in Owari, what Oda Nobunaga did to his master, Maeda's interests were clear.
It can be said that the Lord has abandoned himself over the years and never took his chastity seriously for the sake of family property. This is all the fault of Oda Nobunaga!
If she hadn't ruined the Lord's innocence, the Lord would never have become like this!
Whenever he recalls the calmness of Shiba Yoshigan and his wife, Maeda Yoshida does not feel happy, but feels extremely distressed. That is the numbness of the master who does not take his own body seriously!
Before the Lord went to Guandong, he specifically told himself that he had clearly promised him that he would ensure the stability of the country and wait for his return.
But now, Mitsuhide Akechi secretly assassinated the general, turning the entire Koki period upside down. Although Maeda was innocent on the surface, both she and the master knew in their hearts that she was guilty.
As the master gets closer and closer to him, Maeda looks forward to meeting him again, but on the other hand, he fears the moment when they meet him again. How will he look to see him?
Ask yourself, for your own selfish desires, you ruined his big event. Do you, such a bastard, have the right to stand in front of him?
Thinking of these, Maeda lost her energy to anything. She spent the whole day sitting on the castle tower looking in the direction of Kannonji Castle, surrounded by a pile of sake bottles, to soothe her worries.
I heard that my lord was scolding those who rebelled against the party at the gate of Guanyin Temple, and the concubines were so ashamed that they opened their doors and surrendered.
What about me? Compared to those of the Rokkaku family, what good is my Maeda interest?
She looked down at her hands, thinking of her master's trust and her deeds, and couldn't help but sigh.
I am shameless.
