Not long ago, news of Imagawa Yoshimoto's coming to Luo reached Owari.
Oda Nobunaga thought for a long time, then sent the news to Mino.
Mino Isshiki Yoshiryu sent Oda Nobunaga some food, grass and military equipment. As for the hatred of his former ally Oda Nobunaga who was exterminated, it has passed by.
The two shook hands and made peace, watching coldly as the Imagawa family began to mobilize eastward.
The Imagawa family has deep financial resources, but it was too late to mobilize after the summer harvest, and the journey was long, so farmers and soldiers were not used.
All they had to do was to prepare about 70 or 80 troops including 15,000 ashigaru and 5,000 Ji samurai, claiming to be a hundred thousand army. They gathered along the way and set out on the road.
Suruga and Owari sandwiched Toe Mikawa and the two countries, gathering their forces as they walked.
For a time, the situation in Tokaido was turbulent, and everyone was watching how Oda Nobunaga dealt with it.
But all this did not cause a ripple in recent times. The Sanhao family finally sent out troops, with four people, two leaders and two auxiliaries, going their separate ways.
The shogunate had already been keeping a close eye on the situation. Not only did Ashikaga Yoshiteru's troops enter Hanoi, but the Asai family and the Rokkaku family from north and south Omi also sent troops.
The two families who wanted to smash each other's heads just a few days ago have become comrades fighting side by side. As for whether they will respond to each other, only you know in your heart.
The Yoshigan of Iga Kingdom finally captured the Iga clan and stayed at the Forty-ninth House that night.
The wound on the face was wrapped with high-quality wound medicine, making it look like a rice dumpling.
But who dares to laugh at him now? He actually led the Iga country, holding one hundred thousand stones in his hand, and became one of the few lords of a country in the world. Everyone in Iga called him His Highness.
If you go to Kyoto again, your status will not be lower than that of the Izumi-Hosokawa family. Even the legendary experience of being a boy is even more admirable, and your invisible and intangible prestige will never stop rising.
Of course, this is all for the future. If the shogunate is completely defeated in this battle and Miyoshi Changqing is in control, there will be no need to mention anything.
The reason why the Iga people obey him at this moment is.
First, because he was able to found a country for the Iga people. Although he took 40% of the territory of the Iga people, prices fell after the founding of the country, which could compensate for their losses and even make a lot of money.
But if the Miyoshi family wins Kyoto, can he still have the final say on whether to found the country or not?
What he received was the one-word decision given to Iga by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, not the one given by Miyoshi Nagakei.
Secondly, the Wu family has been rewarded by the public since ancient times, and the Iga people also have plans to make contributions in this battle.
They are good at intelligence, and the details of Yoshigan before and after the Battle of Omi are much more detailed than what the samurai know.
What kind of character is Oni Shiba? He is a male samurai who kills enemies and seizes the flag. He is unparalleled in bravery.
Serving under his command, the 40% of the territory that Iga lost might not be able to be regained elsewhere.
Yoshigin was also very aware of the little thoughts of the Iga people. At this time, he was riding a tiger with difficulty, unable to retreat even if he could advance.
If we lose this battle, not only will the prestige that we have built up over the past half a year be lost, but we will no longer have a foothold in the near future.
Not to mention that all the family friends, comrades, and subordinates here had to be abandoned and fled back to Owari. The virtue of running away in embarrassment can be described as more than just embarrassing.
The Iga people are also a threat.
If he loses, these people will bite back. Not only will they lose all Iga territory, but they will also be waiting for endless assassinations for the rest of their lives.
All the descendants of the Shiba family have long since died, and Yoshigan lacks the reliable territory controlled by the samurai warriors that the traditional samurai family has accumulated for generations.
In Owari, he relied on Maeda's adoptive mother, Toshihisa Maeda, to call the Maeda family's samurai warriors to solve the problem. That was still the territory of a mere 1,500 stone barrels.
Iga country has a total of 40,000 koku directly under the head of the family. Even if he has the entire Maeda family around him, it will not be enough, not to mention that he does not have such a trustworthy Hime samurai to entrust him to.
There is also the issue of loyalty. Every time the number of people increases by an order of magnitude, the intensity of control will drop by a level.
Money and silk attract people's hearts, not to mention a territory of tens of thousands of dan. Even if the Maeda family is here, would he dare to entrust it all?
Maeda Rihisa could guarantee his loyalty with a few Hime Samurai in Owari, but he had to bring hundreds of Hime Samurai here to barely be able to manage the territory. How could the loyalty of these people be guaranteed?
Yiyin knows it very well. The current Shiba family is just empty talk, and revival is just an empty talk. This is why he has never wanted to do anything.
Save land and lose people, both people and land are lost. Save people and lose land, both people and land are saved. There is no one in the Sibo family. No matter how much he does, he will only make a wedding dress for her, so what a waste.
The so-called direct leadership is nothing more than relying on his prestige to maintain. Once something goes wrong, the Iga people will rebel. He will go back to where he came from.
Everything I gained today can only be repaid by throwing it all away and losing my life.
But there was nothing I could do, I had to finish the sex with tears in my eyes.
His hesitation when cutting his face was the last chance to give himself a choice.
Judging from the results, after many years of working as a social worker and living a mediocre existence in this world, he still couldn't cool down his heart at the critical moment.
As a man, there are always a few moments in your life when you feel hot-headed and want to pee standing up.
Since that's the case, don't think about it anymore, cut everything off, and be done with Sanhao's family.
At night, all the Ji warriors under his command sat in front of Yiyin, watching him bow his head in deep thought.
No one looked impatient. The drama during the day made the Iga people dumbfounded and shocked them.
In particular, Maeda Yoshida and Yamanaka Yukimori had tears in their eyes and gritted their teeth.
Those who didn't know better thought they had been stabbed in the face, which really made them feel the same way. Everyone knew that now was not the time to be pretentious, so they could only watch Yiyin thinking helplessly.
It's not that Yoshigan doesn't want to discuss with Nizi Katsuhisa, it's just that what he is thinking about is not strategy but personnel matters.
There are not enough Ji warriors on hand to actually command 40,000 shi directly, and the Iga people will not let him do whatever he wants in Iga until the dust of this battle has settled.
But no matter what, he needs to look like he is taking it seriously.
Just like the emperor's new clothes, whether you wear clothes or not, the emperor needs to go on tour.
If you don't go out and walk at the front, who will know you are the emperor. If you were not the emperor and walked on the road without clothes, you would have been laughed to death.
Therefore, one must first be the emperor before he has the right to choose whether to wear clothes or not.
Yiyin thought about it and looked up at Zhu Ji.
"Iga is divided into three parts, namely North Iga, South Iga, and Yuye. This time the three areas are divided into three armies to fight with me.
Ohtani Yoshitsugi, you go to Minami Iga and become a general in the army.
Takatora Toudo, you go to Kitaiga Fujirin and become a general.
For Maeda's benefit, you go to Yuye Hattori and become a general.
The three of you are all generals in charge of the army. You are called generals, but you are actually supervising the army. Do you understand?"
The three women said softly.
"Yes, my lord."
Nizi Shengjiu glanced at Yiyin, saw that he was worried, and said:
"Is Imperial Majesty Shiba afraid that the three families will disobey orders and cause serious problems?"
Yiyin said.
"This time I relied on the remaining power of the shogunate to force the Iga people to bow their heads, but if the war becomes a stalemate or goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be bad."
Nizi Shengjiu couldn't help but nod.
Although Shiba Gozen's intelligence is not outstanding, what is valuable is that he has self-awareness and can position himself correctly at all times, which is really rare.
"What Ozen said is right, the battle with Yamato cannot be delayed and must be won quickly.
As long as Shihe and Icun's military strength is captured, the Iga people will be able to return home, and then they can make plans for the Three Goods Changqing."
Yiyin smiled awkwardly.
Although he had asked the three Iga families to gather their own troops, he had no idea what the specific situation would be.
To be honest, even if the three families were perfunctory with him, he would still have a black eye and be helpless.
Otherwise, why would all the three women under his command be sent as generals? They are said to be generals, but they are actually supervisors of the army.
He sighed, knowing that he would hate it when it was time to use it.
Akechi Mitsuhide, who was far away in the shogunate's army, was filled with hatred. This girl wholeheartedly pushed him into the fire pit.
Doesn't she like to reward favors in return?
From now on, all the rewards from the official service will be converted into meat for her, and she will not be given any salary, knowledge or knowledge, and will only relieve her anger by making her cry alive.
