Chapter 118
This time, not only Hashiba Hideyoshi was handed over to Asai’s former territory, with the official position of the Chikuzen guard and the permission to build the city, even the former Haji Tsugumi, who was originally Asakura’s retainer, served as the guardian of Echizen (although because of the farce of the previous head trembling), not to mention a group of retainers who followed Saburo early on.
The newly captured territory that originally belonged to Echizen was divided up by military generals such as Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Toshiie, Sasao Narumasa, and Shibata Katsuie himself directly settled in Beizhuang Castle.Compared with Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was just optimistic about Imama Castle and was planning to build the city, Shibata Katsuie was much more convenient.This time it's like making a total liquidation of all the previous credits. The amount of military exploits determines the amount of remuneration. For example, an older character like Shibata Katsuie can remain calm, and Maeda Toshiie who has suddenly gained a high position and The youth of the land were simply ecstatic.
Mitsuhide Akechi, who was originally the first among the retainers of the Oda family and the first to be allowed to build a castle, suddenly became unremarkable—he was able to build a castle in Sakamoto because the land was close to Enryakuji Temple. It can play the role of monitoring and containment, which is out of strategic needs, not pure favor (in fact, pure trust).
As a result, Akechi Mitsuhide once again felt that the pressure in the Oda family has dropped sharply, and getting along with his colleagues has become more peaceful and happy-except for Niwa Nagahide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.
The latter is because of Mitsuhide Akechi’s vigilance almost like a sixth sense when facing him, while the former chooses to distance himself because of his dissatisfaction with Mitsuhide Akechi’s dissatisfaction with Saburo’s notoriety of being the “Devil King of the Sixth Heaven” on his back.
Unwilling to deny his own mistakes, and always thinking about how to curb Saburo's bad reputation that is spreading more and more (including the practice of taking the reputation on himself), such a wise Mitsuhide is naturally impossible to be important to the Oda family—— Niwa Chohide, who is good at domestic affairs, concealed the truth about Honnoji Temple, so it is only natural that he was alienated by Niwa Chohide.
Although I don't know why, Akechi Mitsuhide will always have an inexplicable uneasiness when he sees Niwa Chohide facing Hashiba Hideyoshi with a flat attitude.
The only way to get rid of this anxiety is to find the source of the anxiety, or there are bigger things happening that make it difficult to focus on such small things.
It is obviously impossible to find the root cause of such unreasonable anxiety.Therefore, meeting Akechi Mitsuhide on the second day of Saburo's New Year's banquet—that's right, the second day—and making him lose his mind to think about Niwa Nagahide and Hashiba Hideyoshi was obviously a major event that surprised him.
That is--
"So, the five tigers are going to retreat to Kenshin Uesugi, and you still agreed, right?"
People did not expect it at all, the sword man's magic came.
Akechi Mitsuhide felt his head hurt for a moment.
The sword of the Oda family has obviously learned the essence of the action of the god judge. It is usually fine, but once there is any idea, the action power is so high that it is impossible to guard against.And more importantly, for the sword Fusangshen's move...
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't think Saburo would stop him at all.The chief general of the Oda family seems to overlap part of the brain circuit of the sword (to maintain history) miraculously. Even if Saburo has instructed the sword man to act so far, it does not prevent Akechi Mitsuhide from seeing that Saburo pays attention to these swords. His behavior has always held the conniving attitude of "Oh, it seems interesting, then you can try it for me".
... This kind of willfulness of the lord, of course, can only be worried about by the subordinates in the end.
Akechi Mitsuhide has personally experienced countless times the convenience of sword men in transmitting information (expeditions).Just because he understands the advantages of this kind of high-speed information, although Mitsuhide Akechi still doesn’t know how and whether the mission of the swordsmen to “maintain history” is carried out, it does not prevent him from seeing these spirits born from swords used in wars the value of.Therefore, even if Mitsuhide Akechi had to wait in Kyoto and other places for a long time due to the successive wars and the situation in the past few years, it did not prevent him from using the short time to meet Saburo to learn about the sword man so that he could go Ensure that these roles can be fully mastered by Saburo.
Then Saburo let go of one of the Five Tigers.
... This is not a question of a man with swords getting lost!Absolutely not!
The origins of the men with swords are so strange that until now Akechi Mitsuhide insists on holding on to their true "fusangshen" status and using "Koka Ninja" to cover them up, just because he is worried that Saburo's ambition to contend for world hegemony will be ruined in this kind of situation. The story of scary ghosts.
A person who wants to control the world is surrounded by Fu Sangshen, and it is never a good thing to spread the word.Akechi Mitsuhide can guarantee that he will keep his mouth shut, and he is also very clear about Saburo's previous convictions. Even if Saburo says it by mistake, he will be ignored by others as incomprehensible words like "buff" and "affair". Then the only way to leak the secret is the sword man himself.
Although I still don't know what Saburo is using to restrain the Touken Man, and I don't know why the Touken Man is by Saburo's side... But what is certain is that the Touken Man must not dare to speak in the Oda family, but once he leaves the Oda House, It is not up to Akechi Mitsuhide to decide whether to tell this secret.
If these things are just absurd, and I don’t know whether they can win people’s trust, even if they are revealed, there is still room for reversal, and Mitsuhide Akechi can bite back, then more importantly, the "timeliness" advantage obtained by the Oda family relying on the sword man , it will literally fall into the hands of others.
Especially when the five tigers retreated from themselves, they also clearly informed Saburo that he was going to meet Kenshin Uesugi!
Uesugi Kenshin is a famous general who can be called together with Takeda Shingen and uses soldiers like a god.At the moment, the Uesugi family has not broken their face with Oda, but the Uesugi family knew the news of Takeda Shingen's death but did not inform Oda, so it can be seen that Uesugi has never let down his guard against Oda.The two families were just a temporary alliance created to deal with Takeda. If the Uesugi family had the same Uelo ambitions as Takeda, it would be a matter of time before they targeted Oda.
For now, it appears that Uesugi Kenshin's eyes are not limited to his own territory.It’s just that before Shingen Takeda’s death, he really arranged enough backhands to instigate Shiina Yasun of the Uesugi family and buy the Etsuchu’s Ichizo, so that Kenshin Uesugi couldn’t spare any energy to deal with the Oda family, so he missed the Ashikaga Yoshiaki was expelled from Kyoto and took the opportunity to raise troops against Nobunaga, so he had to continue to dormant.
Under such a premise, the five tigers, who are about equal to the timeliness advantage of the Oda family, will retreat to join Uesugi Kenshin, and the consequences will make Mitsuhide Akechi a cold sweat just thinking about it!
——It’s only the second day of the new year!If you can live peacefully on New Year's Day, something will happen in the next few days... Has this become the curse of the Oda family?
To Akechi Mitsuhide's concerns, Saburo, who patiently listened to everything (only understood part of it), responded very frankly.
"—Xiaoguang is thinking too much. Persecution paranoia"
Akechi Mitsuhide, who didn't understand what "persecuted delusions" meant, was sensitive to the strong ironic meaning of the word to him.
He had to continue to persuade: "You should—I mean, Saburo, you should understand how convenient swords are to use, right? I don't think you can rely on this convenience forever... But, you can't rely on them, and they bring It's a completely different matter if your advantage falls into someone else's hands."
"I don't think it's okay." Saburo replied, "Xiao Tui seems to like Uesugi Kenshin very much-it's okay to let him go to see idols. This is a reasonable demand of children, Xiaoguang!"
"Personally, I don't think it's reasonable at all." Akechi Mitsuhide said helplessly, "Five Tigers are indeed young, but they should be at the age of Yuanfu. He chose to work for you before, so he should have the freedom not to be willful." cognition."
"Hey, Xiaoguang's requirements are so high, this is bullying children."
Knowing that Saburo has a different cognition from ordinary people (in the Warring States Period), Akechi Mitsuhide could only purse his lips, let out a deep and helpless breath, and chose not to link Wuhu's appearance age with his current behavior, and asked: "...Then, when did the five tigers retreat, what will Saburo plan to do after leaving?"
"Leaving—probably, the luggage that Hasebe prepared to leave at breakfast." Saburo replied without any pressure, "Because I plan to go on foot, it looks like it will take a long time. But Xiao Tui said he would write Come here."
Akechi Mitsuhide was slightly surprised.He hesitated and asked: "Writing a letter... Then, let the five tigers retreat to Echizen to spy on information... His appearance is too strange, and it is easy to be noticed by others."
"Hey, because Xiao Tui wanted to go, so I let him go. It's as simple as that." Saburo replied blankly, and after thinking for a few seconds, he found a suitable word to describe the feeling that Wu Hu Tui left. Move, "It should be said... oh, this is it! 'Paid time off' and 'holiday travel'!"
Akechi Mitsuhide: "..."
Saburo continued to say some strange words that seemed to be able to deduce the meaning, but he didn't know what he said at first glance.
"Although I don't know what you're talking about...but the meaning of this sentence, that is, the move of the five tigers to retreat from the Oda family, is also within your control." After sorting out the development of the matter, Akechi Mitsuhide can only do this Said, "In your opinion, can the Five Tigers retreat be trusted?"
In his eyes, Oda Family Governor, who had the same face under his veil, nodded unhurriedly, and said firmly, "Yes. You have to have confidence in Xiao Tui, Xiao Guang."
"Since you said so, let me trust him." Akechi Mitsuhide said immediately, "Although basic protection measures are still needed—but if it's you."
"I always feel, I can't imagine that these 'swords' that have a lot to do with you will betray you one day."
Although this is exactly the same as when he was hostile to Hashiba Hideyoshi, it is an unfounded subjective conjecture.
Akechi Mitsuhide, who got a satisfactory answer, left Saburo's rumors soon, and was going to send someone to try to catch up with the white-haired dagger who had the advantage of mobility.
And from the beginning to the end, it seems that only the five tigers who are the protagonists, and Kakiri Hasebe who packed his luggage, the swordsmen who appeared in this conversation——
Before Wuhutai cautiously asked Saburo to allow him to embark on the journey to Echizen, there were still internal disputes.
The main objects of dispute are Yaki Hasebe and Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
"No. I don't agree with this." Three hours ago, Hasebe's attitude was extremely firm, and he couldn't see that half an hour later he would pack the luggage for Wuhutui's practice. "Now we are in the Warring States Period-" —Actually, it’s the Azuchi-Momoyama era, even if we’re actually ‘Sword Men’, we’re still ‘Koga Ninjas’ here. Now I’m going to see Uesugi Kenshin—even if he is your original owner, you are not the current you The sword at that time was the 'sword' of the god judge."
Wu Hutui, who was rejected, lowered his head obediently, looking very pitiful, begging softly and weakly: "But, but...if this time is missed, the future Lord Kenshin will be hostile to the lord ..."
"No." Yaki Hasebe was not indifferent to the five tigers' pleas to retreat, but he still said firmly, "If it is the Honmaru of the Toki no Government, there may be some way. But we have now been involved in history, To make an additional move, to change history—no, even without considering this, it would be inappropriate for you to go to see Kenshin Uesugi now."
"Hey, don't be too serious, Hasebe."
Just as Yaki Hasebe's attitude was firm and Wuhutu's eyes were full of tears, Tachitsurumaru Kuninaga Shiran with white hair and golden eyes climbed out from the window behind the two of them.
With a bright smile on his face as white as the first snow, he easily persuaded.
"You have to have confidence in retreating."
If Saburo didn't give a suitable reason, maybe Akechi Mitsuhide would start the plot of chasing and killing Fusangshen for thousands of miles (wrong)
Hashiba Hideyoshi's Imama Castle was later built and renamed Nagahama Castle. It was originally the main city of the Kyogoku clan, and its location should be in the lower town of Otani Castle.
Niwa Changhide chose Hashiba Hideyoshi when the Oda family split into Shibata Katsuya and Hashiba Hideyoshi after the Honnoji Incident.However, there are also sayings that he later committed suicide by harakiri because of Hashiba Hideyoshi's seizure of the Oda family's power and the killing of the Oda minister.
Yes, the polarized one is the retreat of the five tigers.
Tsurumaru was about to move.
