Niwa Nagahide was relieved and said with a smile.
"The hall is wise."
Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I won't fall out with the Sibo family."
As he spoke, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but think of Shiba Yoshigan. He couldn't help but take a breath and open his mouth as if he was swallowing saliva.
"Send someone to send a letter to Asakura Kageki, saying that I respect Tsutado-don's character and will not attack Tsuruga Port. But if she can't keep her peace, don't blame me for being ruthless.
After this battle, the shogunate decided the ownership of Tsuruga County, allowing her to take care of herself.
In addition, I have sent someone to pass on the news of the invasion of Kinome Pass to Akechi Mitsuhide, and she should come over soon to intercede for Asakura Kageki."
Just as he was talking, the news of Akechi Mitsuhide's request to come in happened to be transmitted to the main formation, and Oda Nobunaga smiled proudly at Niwa Nagahide.
Everything is under control.
———
After receiving the news that the Oda family had broken into Meki Pass, Akechi Mitsuhide knew that it was time for him to appear, so he took the initiative to come to Oda Nobunaga's main formation. It happened that Niwa Nagahide was also there.
After the three people greeted each other, Oda Nobunaga asked in a false tone.
"Why is Akechi Ji here? The battle is progressing very smoothly. You can rest assured and wait for the good news of our army's victory.
I am busy with military affairs right now, so I don’t have much time to chat with you. Once I subdue Asakura Yoshikage, who provoked the shogunate, we will have plenty of time to talk slowly."
Akechi Mitsuhide faced the aggressive Oda Nobunaga, but he looked calm and composed and said with a smile.
"His Majesty Oda has the courage to do his job and is willing to take the initiative to help the shogunate solve its problems. He is truly a blessing to the world.
Asakura Yoshikage disobeyed the general's orders and refused to go to Luo three times. He also made rude remarks and sow discord between the general and His Highness Oda. This is really unforgivable.
However, the appointment of Asakura Kageki, the governor of Tsuruga, was an imperial order issued by the ancestors from Kyoto. She was the governor of Tsuruga recognized by the shogunate.
The foreign minister implores His Highness Oda to be careful in distinguishing between loyal and traitorous people, and not to let the war affect innocent people."
What Akechi Mitsuhide said makes sense.
After Asakura Soutei's death, Asakura Yoshikage asked Asakura Keiki several times to go to Ichijodani Castle, hoping to take the opportunity to kidnap her and seize Tsuruga County, but Asakura Keiki, who remembered his mother's last words, refused.
Asakura Yoshikage's coldness has long been seen through by Asakura Sotechi. That's why she fought for Yoshikage Shiba before she died, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and blessings as well as Asakura Kage's memory.
Asakura Keiki is staying in Tsuruga County and is not just waiting for death. Behind her, Yoshihiro Shiba has been thinking of ways to move and support her to secure her position of power.
Yoshihiro Shiba gave her a lot of benefits from the Hokuriku Road trade route so that she could have enough bargaining chips to bribe the Tsuruga people, and at the same time begged Ashikaga Yoshiteru of the shogunate to recognize her as the Tsuruga governor.
The post of prefecture actually belongs to the official system of the emperor's court. Since the third generation of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu massacred the emperor's court, only the three branches of the samurai family have this dignity, and are called the three prefectures.
The Sheriff of the Asakura family was actually a fig leaf for the Asakura family to talk to themselves after they overpowered the superiors and drove away the guardians of the Shiba family.
There was a rebellion in Tsuruga County. After Asakura Soteti put down the rebellion, the Asakura family governor asked her to guard Tsuruga County in the name of Tsuruga County Secretary.
Now, Yoshigan Shiba, the legitimate son of the Shiba Mune family, is begging the shogunate to recognize the Tsuruga governor who is of Asakura Sotechi's lineage.
Although his official position was somewhat abrupt, Ashikaga Yoshiteru still gave Yoshigami Shiba face and recognized Asakura Kageki's right to rule Tsuruga County.
Asakura Kageki was backed by Shiba Yoshiyin, with one hand of business profits and another hand of reputation, almost impeccable. Asakura Yoshikage had no choice but to regain Tsuruga County's heart and acquiesced in Asakura Kage's semi-independent status.
Nowadays, Oda Nobunaga started a war on the grounds that Asakura Yoshikage disrespected the shogunate. Akechi Mitsuhide used the name given by his ancestor Ashikaga Yoshiki to intercede for Asakura Kage, which was not out of the ordinary.
What Oda Nobunaga wanted to crusade was Asakura Yoshikage, who was disrespectful to the shogunate. What does this have to do with Asakura Kageki, the Tsuruga governor who was loyal to the shogunate?
This is the truth, but if reasoning is effective, why do the Wu family still need swords and guns?
Oda Nobunaga only spoke coldly to Akechi Mitsuhide's defense.
"Since Asakura Kageki has a clear conscience, why did she not follow me to attack Asakura Yoshikage when I came with the heavenly soldiers, but instead resisted the heavenly soldiers? Who knows if they are colluding?
Whether Asakura Kageki is loyal or traitorous, we have to investigate carefully.
But don’t worry, Mingzhi Ji, I will never wrongly accuse a good person, but I will also never let a bad person go."
Oda Nobunaga's words were very shameless. It was clear that Oda's army was raiding Tsuruga County, burning, killing and looting. How could the Tsuruga people not resist?
Asakura Yoshikage led troops to rescue him, but Oda Nobunaga insisted on saying that Asakura Kageki was suspected of being a thief, which was really shameless.
But the Oda family is so powerful and their principles are all in their fists, what can Akechi Mitsuhide say?
She could only laugh and say.
"What His Highness Oda said is that it would be more appropriate for Asakura Kageki-sama to explain this matter himself, so that there will be no further misunderstandings."
Oda Nobunaga made it clear that he wanted to use Asakura Kageki as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the Shiba family.
Akechi Mitsuhide could only nod in agreement with Oda Nobunaga's statement, but she had to ensure that Asakura Kageki's life was not in danger.
Asakura Kageki cannot die, this is Akechi Mitsuhide's bottom line, otherwise the Spurs will not be able to explain to the Sputnik Bank in recent years.
Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide's submission, Oda Nobunaga said with satisfaction.
"As long as Asakura Kageki doesn't take the initiative to provoke, I will naturally give her a chance to explain and will not attack Tsuruga Port for the time being.
I heard that she seems to be unmarried?"
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know why Oda Nobunaga suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded.
"Indeed."
Oda Nobunaga's smile remained the same, but his eyes were a little cold.
"What do you think these people are thinking about? How can their family business continue if they don't know how to marry and have children when they become adults?
Speaking of which, the Tsuruga Asakura family is considered a famous family, so how can the dignified family governor not find a man? What I hate the most is this kind of selfish Samurai Hime who only cares about his own happiness.
This person has no father, no mother, no husband, no daughter, no worries, no worries. How can the superiors use them with peace of mind? It’s scary to think about it.
The best Ji warrior is one who has a family, a job, and a lot of debt, so he will be cautious and cautious in doing things, and he will work hard without complaining.
Those are the good Ji warriors that the Lord can use with peace of mind, and they are the backbone of the social stability of the Wu family. Do you think this is true?
I heard that most of the important officials of the Shiba family are unmarried. They are all very old, but they all understand each other and do things without any scruples. I can't help but worry about Tsudaden.
What does Tsutaden think? Can he sleep at night if these martial arts families are used to maintain the family business?"
Akechi Mitsuru's face was still smiling, but there was a glint in his eyes.
Oda Nobunaga couldn't bear it anymore after all. She pointed out that she was talking about Asakura Kageki, but she was obviously the restless samurai family of the Shiba family who wanted to marry into the family.
Thinking that Oda Nobunaga and No-kun had not had sex for a long time, and seeing Oda Nobunaga's righteous and awe-inspiring look at this moment, with the castle as deep as Akechi Mitsuhide, I almost couldn't help but laugh.
It's true that I have dirt in my eyes and I don't like anyone. Oda Nobunaga's thoughts are really easy to understand.
The gossip about the unmarried ministers of Shiba was flowing in and out of Kyoto when Yoshiteru was still alive, and it was very unpleasant to hear.
When Ashikaga Yoshiteru deliberately suppressed the Konkoku Shiba leader, he wanted to let these cowardly and cowardly Hime warriors know the importance of dignity and stop trying to eat the flesh of a swan.
The heroic swordsman general and the majestic strong-willed public died tragically at Nijo Castle. A large part of the reason was the backlash from Shiba's ministers.
There really is nothing new in this world.
Now it's Oda Nobunaga's turn to be in power. The same recipe, the same taste, and the same warning to Shiba Shigeomi who refuses to marry, but I don't know how her future end will be compared to Ashikaga Yoshiteru?
Just as Mitsuhide Akechi was about to reply, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Oda Nobunaga frowned and shouted.
"Who is making the noise outside!"
Mori Ranmaru hurriedly walked into the formation, bowed and apologized.
"Really sorry.
In the main hall, three Ji warriors came outside to deliver something to you on behalf of His Majesty the City Lord.
But they refused to give the things to me to convey to me no matter what. They had to hand them over to you personally, saying that this was an order from His Highness the Lord of the City."
Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Let them in."
Mori Ranmaru bowed and went out, and soon he brought in three Ji Samurai, all of whom were tired from work and had traveled day and night.
The three of them came in and bowed. Oda Nobunaga stared at the leader and asked.
"Are you A Liang? What did the city king ask you to give me?"
A Liang carefully took out the small bean bag from his arms, bowed forward and presented it to Oda Nobunaga.
"The Lord ordered the three of me to come quickly and offer this little bean bag to the main hall."
Oda Nobunaga took the small bean bag in confusion and couldn't see the meaning, so he asked.
"What does it mean?"
Aliang answered respectfully.
"The Lord said that he picked the summer beans by himself. They are very fresh. He would like to invite the main hall to taste them."
Oda Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, then became furious and cursed.
"Nonsense! I thought there was something big going on. Is this trivial matter worthy of sending three Ji warriors into high gear and going to war?
Mr. City is really becoming more and more impudent! He is becoming more and more ignorant!"
A Liang and the other three beauties kowtowed to the ground and were furious in the face of Oda Nobunaga's thunder, and did not dare to speak.
Akechi Mitsuhide on the side looked at the small bean bag in Oda Nobunaga's hand, but seemed to be interested, bowed and said.
"Your Majesty Oda, this little bean bag is very interesting. Can you allow me to take a look?"
Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he threw the small bean bag to Akechi Mitsuhide, still mumbling dissatisfaction.
"I know how to do these inexplicable things all day long. I don't know how to give birth to an heir for the Asai family earlier and stabilize the friendship between the two families. Let's see how I deal with him when I go back."
Oda Nobunaga was beating up Akechi Mitsuhide, and he couldn't help but have the hope in his heart that he would take the opportunity to observe her, subdue her, and prepare to sleep with Shiba Yoshigan and take down the Shiba family in the future.
But Ichijun's things happened to be delivered at this time, which made her a little confused.
Ichi-kun and No-kun have a deep relationship, and they are as shameless as Oda Nobunaga. A widow who plots against her husband, No-kun, behind his back, would feel guilty as if he had been caught in an act of rape.
When she was so upset, she didn't realize the profound meaning behind the mayor's willful behavior and the bean bag.
Perhaps out of self-confidence, Oda Nobunaga had just helped Asai Nagamasa completely control the three prefectures, and then conspired together to kill Todo Toradaka. Oda Nobunaga was completely unaware that the Asai family might betray him.
Akechi Mitsuhide stared at the small bean bag in his hand, and laughed when he saw the mouth of the bag tightly tied at both ends.
"This bag is really interesting. It is open at both ends and stuck at both ends."
Maybe Akechi Mitsuhide smiled too deliberately. Oda Nobunaga and Niwa Nagahide looked at the bean bag at the same time, their faces condensed.
Oda Nobunaga turned to look at Sanhime who was kneeling and asked.
"A Liang, did Mr. City ask you to bring me anything?"
A Liang shook his head and said.
"My lord, no.
It's just that the inner court has been uneasy recently. The Lord just executed two servants for stealing.
The gift this time was an impromptu decision by the Lord. Before setting off, I told you many times that I must hand over the little bean bag to you and not give it to anyone else."
A Liang is the samurai princess who is married to the city king. She has seen many things with her eyes and understands the inside story to some extent. But she cannot say this casually.
The Oda Asai family were both in-laws, allies, and close comrades who went to Luo together.
Asai Hisamasa was not afraid that Ichikun would send something, he only checked the letter, because he was confident that Oda Nobunaga would not be suspicious of the Asai family, so there was no harm in sending something.
The mayor could say that the Asai family had betrayed him, but it was not convenient for him to write a letter, so he could only rely on small bean bags to hint.
And who is A Liang? She has a low status and is not qualified to say such things.
Even if these words came out of her mouth, it would be hard for Oda Nobunaga to believe it. It would not be as effective as this ambiguous little bean bag.
At this time, after listening to Ara's hint, Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand towards Akechi Mitsuhide with a cold face, and Akechi Mitsuhide respectfully offered the small bean bag with both hands.
After shaking the bean bag in his hand, Oda Nobunaga felt it was very heavy.
Will Asai Nagamasa really betray him? Could Ichikun, a guy who is not familiar with samurai politics, make a mistake?
Oda Nobunaga's eyes turned to Niwa Nagahide, who said solemnly.
"Main Hall, our army's logistics supplies have to start from Minami Omi and pass through Kitanomi Takashima County and Wakasa Province. It's already a long time.
If something really changes in Kitaomi, these 30,000 troops will be left alone...I'm afraid..."
The Nosaka Mountains and the Ibuki Mountains in the northern part of Omi Province intersect at the Aifa Pass, dividing the two areas inside and outside the Pass. Wakasa Province and Tsuruga County hang on the coastline outside the Pass, and there is very little room for maneuver.
If the retreat of Oda's army is cut off, even if the ground is scraped three feet away, it will not be able to support the logistical support of a 30,000-strong army.
If the Asakura Asai family blocked the front and rear passes, and waited for Oda's army to be exhausted before attacking from the north and south, the army that lacked food, grass and armaments might even collapse in an instant.
Oda Nobunaga dared to attack beyond the Asai family's territory because he believed that Asai Nagamasa's younger brother and sister were trustworthy. But now, her brother sent a message and hinted that the younger brother and sister were unreliable.
Oda Nobunaga took a deep breath and his face turned cold. She pretended to be calm, glanced at the calm Akechi Mitsuhide next to her, and said to A Liang in a deep voice.
"The three of you will go down and rest for the night. You will return to Xiaodani City tomorrow and tell the mayor that I have received the things."
