Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 107

I didn't notice the abnormality of Gukuu Toshiro at all, and I didn't know what kind of dagger I almost missed-consciously, the expenses of the wild samurai had been made up, so Saburo directly summoned his retainers and began to discuss how to completely tear Nobunaga encirclement net.

Yes, Nobunaga surrounded the net.

Do you think the crisis of Oda Nobunaga will be resolved when Takeda Shingen dies? How naive!

Before the arrival of Takeda Shingen, Miyoshi, Asakura, Asai, and Ishiyama Honganji were the ones who besieged Saburo and weaved the net. At that time, Takeda Shingen did not pose much threat to Saburo at this stage, and the target was mainly aimed at It was the Tokugawa family who still had the territory of the Three Kingdoms at that time.It wasn't until Takeda Kamiro's ambition surfaced that Oda Tokugawa suddenly became difficult-even though it was very difficult at first, it was the first time that he had no power to fight back and could only watch Takeda annex Tokugawa's territory.

Immediately afterwards, Saburo reached an agreement through Uesugi Kenshin and Asakura, temporarily gaining a little room for breathing for himself, and then Takeda Shingen was seriously ill and withdrew to Kai, and died of illness on the way back to China—it can be said that this is really a very dramatic scene .Knowing the news, the Oda family also took the opportunity to stun Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who didn't know about it, but it is undeniable that the negative impact of Takeda Shingen on Tokugawa and Oda has not been completely eliminated.

At least those territories annexed by Tokugawa Ieyasu could not be regained immediately, and it is also a big problem to replenish the troops bitten by the Takeda army in a short time.Once Asakura suddenly joins Nobunaga's siege network, it will be more difficult to withstand the attack this time compared to Oda and Tokugawa, who are more disadvantaged than before.

The Miyoshi family had already hooked up with Matsunaga Hideo again, but with Matsunaga Hideo's second betrayal and joining Saburo's side (temporarily resisted by Oda's retainers), the Miyoshi family who had been tricked so hard was almost nonexistent. With the power to fight back.

And because Saburo’s act of burning Enryaku-ji Temple in Mount Hiei was really shocking, Ishiyama Honganji Temple was only shocked for a short time, and soon took courage during Takeda Shingen’s visit to Luo, and even after Takeda Shingen passed away, there was not much decline. .They not only openly declared Saburo as "Buddha's enemy", but also preached to believers the idea that "if you are killed by Buddha's enemy, you will go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss".

When the believers of Enryaku Temple in Mount Hiei were burned to death, they cursed Saburo, "When you die, you will be surrounded by fire, and you will surely fall into hell." Just like Mara, who cultivated Taoism, the title of "Devil King of the Sixth Heaven"...is well deserved, right?

It was just that the chain was dropped once, but the impact was extremely far-reaching, which puzzled the real instigator, Mitsuhide Akechi.

In short, although the Miyoshi family has no power to fight back for the time being, the bravery of Ishiyama Honganji at this time is still enough to hinder the Oda family.Asakura settled down temporarily, but Asai refused to surrender no matter how he besieged Asai Nagamasa. Uesugi Kenshin had already reached a temporary alliance with Saburo, but he did not inform them of Takeda Shingen's death for a long time. Take precautions, and Takeda Shingen's prestige is still there...

If it can be summed up in one sentence, then the encirclement net against Nobunaga seems to have been broken, but in fact it can be opened again at any time.

Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was exiled from Beijing, and the Oda family no longer had the title of righteousness.

From this point of view, even if the Oda family and the Tokugawa family are seriously worn out, it is not a good opportunity to recuperate right now.Only when the other daimyos are still restrained by each other and remain motionless because they can't see the situation clearly, the entire encirclement network collapses in one go, otherwise the Oda family will only be controlled by others.

What the Oda family has to do now is to choose a target from among them.

In fact, it is true that the cash flow is tight, but I didn't expect Sanlang to be so careless as to sell the general's sword.Ikeda Hengxing, who felt that the deal was done, could only comfort himself not to stick to what was in front of him, and asked Saburo, "How does Your Highness value those swords?"

"Ah. I don't know. But Xiaoguang said there will be more than a hundred guan."

"Hakukan... plus the money of the Oda family now..." Ikeda Hengxing, who is Saburo's valet anyway, and who is not completely ignorant of these economic matters, said with a frown, "It's still a bit small. Mr. Niwa's account how the service is displayed"

"Because of His Highness's policy of separating soldiers from peasants, farming has not been affected, and the food reserves can still cope with the war in the second half of this year. However, it was too much damage to face the enemy before. Conscription, soldier armor, and military pay are all big expenses, and because I once supported Oda Ujiji and Satake Yoshishige in the war, and if we want to fight a protracted war now, we can only choose to increase taxes." Niwa Changxiu said without blinking, he rarely took the initiative to speak, but when he spoke, he was always justified Convinced.

"Does it mean that we can't fight a protracted war? But at present, except for Miyoshi, there is no existence that can be broken quickly. But breaking Miyoshi will not completely break the current deadlock."

"Asakura has enough troops, so we can only attack Asai."

"Otani Castle in Asai is good at defending. I'm afraid we'll miss the opportunity if we're delayed."

"Asai and Asakura are the greater threat to Asakura. Attacking Asakura while he is unprepared has a better chance of winning."

Unknowingly, several retainers had already finished speaking, and the targets of the attack were also locked on Asai and Asakura, and now they were just hesitating which side to attack first.Asai is weak and Asakura is strong, which seems to be easy for Asai to conquer.However, Asakura had reached a private agreement with Oda to withdraw troops before, and now his defense against Oda is slightly weaker, and Asai has a good location and is full of vigilance against Oda, so it seems that Asakura is easy to attack.

At this time, it was time for Akechi Mitsuhide to speak.

He is different from the previous few people who were valued by Saburo or the elders of the Oda family. He has worked in the Oda family for neither long nor short. After all, apart from Shangluo, he had few achievements before, and he only really fought as the main general when he was at Enryakuji Temple in Mount Hiei, and gradually gained the right to speak in the Oda family.

Saburo trusts Akechi Mitsuhide quite a bit——Akechi Mitsuhide himself knows this.

He doesn't think he has the ability to influence Saburo's thoughts, but since Saburo is willing to trust him, he only wants to make everything perfect and live up to this trust in him.

After thinking for a while, Akechi Mitsuhide said, "...I thought it would be better to attack Asakura now."

"Hey, Xiaoguang thinks so too."

"Yes. On Asai's side, Mr. Hashiba's blockade and constant pressure have already brought many Asai's retainers to our side. The reason why Asai Nagamasa has been unwilling to surrender until now is because the Asai family still has Asakura's support. Once we attack Asai, Asakura will definitely come to the rescue, then what we need to face is not Asai, but the Asai coalition forces, and even more forces."

"If that's the case—" Saburo frowned and thought for a while, then relaxed his brows, and said to the retainers under his seat relaxedly and as a matter of course, "Then take Asai and Asakura together."

Retainer: "...!"

When they have suffered enough from the multi-faceted battle, the governor of the Oda family really dare to say it!

But this kind of amazement was only fleeting. Soon, some retainers who were extremely intelligent or experienced in the field reacted. After thinking about the current financial resources and current situation of the Oda family, their eyes lit up instantly.

It's not that I feel that it can be done - but judging from the current situation, the possibility of success is at least [-]%!

Asakura had just reached a private agreement with Oda and retreated. According to Asakura Yoshikage's character, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to attack the Oda family now.No matter what the Takeda family thinks, and what about Ishiyama Honganji, at least the Asakura family and the Asai family are really thinking about the world of the Wu family, and their selfishness is much less than that.These two also attach great importance to what is on the bright side. After Ashikaga Yoshiaki was exiled from Kyoto, it was Miyoshi's field.Asakura and Asai did not send troops when the general raised his troops. If they wanted to send troops now, they would definitely ask for the general's order and raise the banner.

That is to say, Asakura will not take the initiative to send troops to attack Oda now!

This is the time difference that the Oda family can take advantage of!

As for the Asako Allied Forces, although Asakura occupies most of the troops, Asai Nagamasa's strategy is particularly outstanding, but his own strength is not enough.The combination of the two is naturally a headache, but once they are separated, without Asai's brains, Asakura will definitely be able to win in one fell swoop just like before Empress Kanezaki!

And without Asakura's support, Asai could no longer resist Oda!

"But if that's the case—there's another problem." The prospect is bright. Considering the fact that the Oda family has been unfavorable in recent years, Shibata Katsuie said cautiously, "If you bypass Asai and attack Asakura, then Asai will also They will definitely know our plan. No matter how thin Asai's troops are, as long as he surprises from the rear at a critical moment, then the scene of Kanezaki (Queen Kanazaki) will probably be repeated."

"Then take Xiaogu Castle when Asai sends out troops? Once Xiaogu Castle falls, the Asai family will also fall completely, and they will have no strength to rise again."

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was immediately rejected by many retainers unanimously.Niwa Changhide did not show any irritated expression because of this simple mistake, and calmly narrated: "Otani Castle is difficult to capture, even if Asai Nagamasa sends troops out to attack, the defenders in the city are enough to defend the city. When food and grass are sufficient, 500 people It is possible to defend the city for half a year. Indulging Asai's behavior will not do us any good."

As he said that, he had already set his sights on Mitsuhide Akechi.Seeing the young man wrapped in a face scarf lowering his head slightly, his eyes flickering thoughtfully, he asked calmly, as if he was just passing by, "What do you think, Mr. Wise?"

"Mr. Niwa is right." Akechi Mitsuhide was interrupted by such a sudden call, but his own quick thinking, he had already come up with a prototype in just a few breaths before, and Niwa Nagahide's sudden call did not let him He tore this rough prototype apart.

After pondering for a while, Akechi Mitsuhide spoke calmly after picking up the idea just now and supplementing the prototype to be more realistic.

"I think that if we attack Asai first, then Asakura will definitely come to his rescue. We can turn to attack Asakura at this time—Mr. Hashiba has instigated many of Asai's retainers in Omi, and it is precisely at this time that he makes the most of what he has."

Such a strategy cannot be said to be bad - it can be said that there is almost no trace, and it can really catch Asakura by surprise!

Niwa Chohide's expression moved slightly when he heard it, he looked thoughtfully at Akechi Mitsuhide's unwavering eyes, and frowned imperceptibly.

"Well, is there no one talking? It's all over." Saburo, who just proposed a goal, waited for them to finish their suggestions, then propped his chin and thought about the feasibility for a while, and asked troubledly: "Is this kind of strategy also possible?"

"If it's what Mr. Wise says... it's indeed possible."

After getting the exact answer, Saburo immediately replied with ease: "Then let's do this. Go to Jinjiang today."

Retainer: "..."

Thinking about it, they decided to use Asakura's slow reaction to hit a surprise, so they think that their protagonist's excessive mobility is really an advantage worth accepting

Saburo has already made a decision, and because of this troublesome action, the retainers quickly left the Japanese room for discussion in twos and threes to prepare for the dispatch of troops-this even Mitsuhide Akechi who still had to worry about the matter of paying Sangshen with swords also No exception.

However, just when Akechi Mitsuhide walked out of the Japanese room and was about to return to his residence, he was very surprised to see someone waiting for him on the road.

Namely, Niwa Chohide.

This is really a strange thing - Akechi Mitsuhide is quite familiar with the character of his former family elder, and after the initial embarrassment passed, he quickly got along well.Most of Saburo's retainers who joined the Oda family later had a good relationship, and the worst thing was that the well water did not violate the river water.

Only Niwa Chohide—just like Akechi Mitsuhide and Takenaka Banhei's suspicion of Hashiba Hideyoshi, Niwa Chohide may not have any malice towards Akechi Mitsuhide, but he has always looked at this self-proclaimed lung with scrutiny. sick people.

Akechi Mitsuhide lowered his eyes involuntarily, with a bad premonition.

He quickened his pace, and soon stood in front of Niwa Changhide, and asked in a calm tone: "Did Mr. Niwa ask me for something?"

"——No." Niwa Chohide replied, "I just heard Mr. Akechi's strategy before, which gave me a very familiar feeling."

He raised his eyes to look at Akechi Mitsuhide, his slightly small eyes widened suddenly, and shot a palpitating cold light, and said with great certainty: "If you guessed correctly, the burning of Mt. It has nothing to do with His Highness, you did it, right?"

"Don't you have the slightest bit of guilt for letting Your Highness bear the notoriety of 'The Devil King of the Sixth Heaven', Mr. Wise?"

It wasn't until the Oda family's retainers had finished their discussions and all the retainers left that Gukuro Toshiro dared to take a dagger, ran into the room in three steps at a time, and handed "Atsuto Shiro" to Saburo.

... If it's a little later, my brother will really be sold!

What's even more frightening is that although Toshiro Toshiro himself lost most of his memory, there is also Sozo Zuomon and Yaki Hasebe in this Oda family Honmaru——Sozozuoji blames himself, let's not talk about it. Tanibe occasionally recalls the process of being in the Oda family when he was a sword.

Therefore, Gukuu Toshiro knew that a member of the Awataguchi faction did fall into the hands of Oda Nobunaga-his name was Yaken Toshiro.

Not Atsutoshiro!

If Oda Nobunaga also obtained the sword of General Ashikaga in history—doesn’t that mean that Atsuto Shiro was really sold by Oda Nobunaga in history!

How miserable!If it wasn't for the Gukuu Toshiro who happened to be looking at the sword beside him, he would have missed his younger brother without knowing it!

And now, although I haven't missed it... Considering that Oda Nobunaga sent Tsurumaru Kuninaga (sword) in front of Tsurumaru Kuninaga (Fusangshen) before, whether Saburo will keep Atsutoshiro, I have no doubts Kudo Shiro has nothing at all.

He himself is the main body of this era, the representative of the separation from Fusangshen summoned by the main body, but as an elder brother, he is willing to accept such a fact (when he realizes that he has no power to change), but it does not mean that the bone scorpion Fujishiro wants to let My younger brother faced such a big shock at the beginning of his birth.

Watching Saburo put his hand on the dagger anxiously, everything in front of Guku Toshiro's eyes was suddenly overwhelmed by cherry blossoms.

——In the next moment, a boy with short hair and wearing a military uniform appeared in front of him.

"... Bone Grudge"

In fact, even though his face was still childish, just looking at his appearance, Atsuto Shiro, who is one of the most masculine in the Awataguchi family, first saw the bone-shoulder Toshiro with short hair down to his shoulders.

His eyes are very light in color, but he looks more like an ordinary person than a Nanban ninja than any Token Fusangshin so far.The moment he saw Wakizashi Shirafa, his eyes were like stars lit up, and he grabbed Toshiro's hand happily.

"Brother Gu Gu is here too! Then the God Judge——"

Turning his head to Saburo, Atsuto Shiro happily introduced himself: "I am Atsuto Shiro. Among my brothers, I am also classified as a short knife for armor piercing. You must be a general!"

"It's me. You are the one that can sell a hundred guan with other knives." Saburo immediately responded, "It's called 'Atsushitoうしろう (あつしとうしろう)'."

"Yes, besides Atsushi とうしろう, there is also the way of thinking あつとうしろう, but I am me, and it doesn't matter what I call it. The general said before... Baiguan"

Hearing the god judge suddenly say such words, Atsuto Shiro, who is currently ignorant of the situation in the Honmaru and what happened to him, scratched his short hair, and quickly thought from his own experience that he could meet the "hundreds of dollars" Consistent" thing.

"It must be that Ami Guangde bought me away. I alone was worth a hundred guan. When I dedicated it to Lord Gang, the Mori family also received a reward of a thousand pieces of gold."

"Hey." Saburo looked at him in surprise, and praised sincerely, "You are very valuable!"

Bone Ghoul Toshiro: "..."

Gukuu Toshiro felt that he had seen his brother's future.

In fact, the curse of "when you die, you will be surrounded by fire, you will fall into the endless hell" should be that when you attacked Asai (yes, you attacked Asai and then went to Asakura), when you burned many villagers, wild warriors, and monks, the people were in the fire. It was sent out...but when exactly I also...well, let's just pretend nothing happened.

The change of Honnoji Temple really died in the fire.

Self-proclaimed Atsuto Shiro (not)
