Chapter 230
The Great Prajna Nagamitsu, who had been locked in the box from beginning to end, was so easily given to Sakai Chuji by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He didn't even think about looking at his previous saber again. After confirming that there would be no more scary things like pulling out the skull from the box this time, Saburo stopped paying attention to the long light of Daprajna.
After that, Saburo also played his usual ridiculously high action power, and returned to Gifu on May 25th, and——
"Are you going to Los Angeles again? Tell me earlier and I'll go directly."
And almost ready to go to Los Angeles on the 26th.
Normal people would not feel that they have to continue to run around and work hard the next day, and only Saburo, who has the speed of flying, would not question its feasibility at all after hearing Mitsuhide Akechi's words.
"...That's not what it means... No, Shangluo is necessary, but it is not necessary to go now." Akechi Mitsuhide was not idle after failing to participate in the Nagashino battle this time, and quickly changed the current situation I sorted out the part again, "Now the news of Takeda's defeat is not widely known. Wait for another month, it will be a good time to go to Luo - then, in order to express congratulations and friendship to you, the imperial court will probably give you a new appointment .”
"Does it mean to be promoted?" Saburo frowned in distress—from his expression, it was impossible to tell whether he understood Akechi Mitsuhide's meaning, but his tone was as crisp and sharp as ever, and he came to conclusions surprisingly quickly , "Let's forget it. An official position or something won't help me win the world, it's completely meaningless."
"It can't be said that, Ashikaga Yoshiaki can still be active under the title of 'General', although he can use it occasionally, but it is too difficult to continuously and completely control a person's actions. Although he has not reached this level yet, But Ashikaga Yoshiaki is an obstacle to those who strive for world hegemony, and this will not change." He used to enter the Oda family in the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but Akechi Mitsuhide's tone when talking about Ashikaga Yoshiaki seemed very flat, Just calmly and objectively narrating, "The general is 'orthodox', and the imperial court is also 'orthodox'. Even if both have declined, but if necessary, check each other, at least it can reduce a little trouble."
Considering Saburo—it should be "Oda Nobunaga"'s low status compared to other daimyos (Oda Shuke) and his rapid rise, Akechi Mitsuhide said to himself worriedly:
"No, rejection is not a big deal... This rejection should be more rewarding next time."
"No, it's troublesome for me to go to Luo from time to time." Without paying attention to Mitsuhide Akechi's self-talk, Saburo complained directly, "Ichikui from Echizen needs to be dealt with quickly, as Xiaoguang said. If you want to go to Luo in a month, then you can attack Echizen in July."
That's right, although the Takeda family was a strong enemy of the Oda family before the Battle of Nagashino, their strength has been greatly reduced after the war, and it is foreseeable that they will not have the strength to confront the Oda family for a long time, but what Saburo has to do is not It didn't decrease because of this-or rather, there was no Takeda army watching, and other problems that had been put aside in order to deal with Takeda Katsuyori suddenly emerged.
For example, Echizen's Ichikui!Saburo defeated Asakura Yoshikage before and took the Echizen Kingdom into his hands. As a result, the Echizen Ichikui swarmed, and Oda immediately lost the management of Echizen.Echizen Ichikui is not a unified individual internally, and Saburo's behavior of letting go just causes them to have conflicts and constant internal friction-but, Echizen Ichikui's ability to internal friction does not mean that Saburo can really let go.Once they have settled their conflicts and achieved self-government like the Kaga Kingdom, it will be much more difficult for the Oda family to get Echizen back at that time.
Ah, although it is quite tricky now... who asked Sanlang to kill the disciples of Yixiangzong in Long Island so that the blood flowed like a river!
If it was replaced by someone else, I am afraid that Ichikui from Echizen Kingdom would not pay attention.But once the Oda family wants to attack the Echizen Kingdom, simply because of the existence of Saburo, Kaga Ikki and Echizen Ikki, who were originally opposed due to conflicts, may be close to each other and cooperate in minutes.
"Even if you say that, Ichikui, who wants to attack Echizen, can no longer use the method of attacking Nagashima." Akechi Mitsuhide has long understood how hostile the disciples of the Ichiko sect are to Saburo, who has the name "Buddha's enemy", when Saburo mentioned Echizen His eyelids twitched, and he rubbed his forehead in distress and exhaustion.
Saburo: "But it was Xiaoguang who attacked Changdao."
Akechi Mitsuhide: "I'm very sorry!"
Indeed, although Saburo did too many things to attract hatred when facing the Ichigozong-Ishiyama Honganji Temple, in fact, except for frivolously letting Ishiyama Honganji Temple give up the temple for building a city, it is basically Mitsuhide Akechi handwriting.Having lived in this era for more than [-] years, Saburo, who has always aimed to conquer the world, will not be surprised by the cruelty shown by Akechi Mitsuhide in the war, but for Akechi Mitsuhide himself...
It seems that there is some kind of curse that makes him do what Saburo does every time, contributing to the notoriety of the "Devil King of the Sixth Heaven". One thing that bothers me.
"For Echizen, we can no longer use a strategy similar to that used in the Battle of Nagashima." In order to conceal his identity, he deliberately blurred his age, but he is currently 42 years old like Saburo and in a "year of disaster", which is like a curse for the previous few times Coincidentally, Mitsuhide Akechi had to deal with it cautiously this time, "In terms of population, such killings will not be conducive to Oda's rule over Echizen in the future. Therefore, I would like to ask for your permission to send a letter to the Takada faction and the Three Disciples faction in Echizen .”
Saburo said without hesitation: "What is that?"
Akechi Mitsuhide was no longer surprised by such a reply style.
I have known for a long time that Saburo doesn't know anything about various faction relations—no, occasionally he still does. For example, when he was surrounded by Asakura Asai and others, Saburo could still think of using the indirect relationship between Uesugi Kenshin and Asakura Yoshikage, Go get on line with Asakura Yoshikage and persuade the other party to retreat.But it really depends on the understanding of the various forces in the Warring States Period—including religion, businessmen, etc., and Akechi Mitsuhide is better at it.
At this time, he and Saburo were talking in the Japanese room. The face of the same as Saburo, who was not wearing a face towel and whose age was hard to tell, showed a gentle smile, and narrated his thoughts: "It is the Echizen country. Other sects of Buddhism. There is not only one sect of Buddhism, and there are more than one sect existing in Echizen. It’s just that the ones that have sprung up in Echizen are “Ichigo Ikui”, so they don’t have much action. If they can win over these sects, then no matter whether it is an attack Or the subsequent rule will be much smoother."
"Then Hikari can do it." After receiving Mitsuhide Akechi's answer, Saburo agreed casually, "Hikaru has always been good at these things. But religion is very troublesome, just don't show up again." ——The religion here is completely different from the religion I know.”
Of course Mitsuhide Akechi didn’t know what the “religion of knowledge” that Saburo was talking about was like, but he actually accepted Kazukui’s distress from the other party’s mouth, so he suppressed the smile on his face, and turned towards him firmly. Saburo promised: "Please rest assured. I will never let the Gaotian faction and other sects...cause you trouble."
"...I always feel that the topic suddenly becomes serious." Faced with Akechi Mitsuhide's serious expression, Saburo couldn't help but have the illusion that he missed some important event.
His meager knowledge of religion is of course not enough to see through Akechi Mitsuhide's assurance of what kind of heart and means, and the governor of the Oda family who often directly pointed to the result waved his hand to dispel his illusion just now, Even the lazy sitting posture has not changed.
"Then I'll wait until next month to go to Shangluo. During this time, I will trouble you to communicate with the religion in Echizen—if possible, even the businessmen there. Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Akechi Mitsuhide hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "The Kodera family's envoy, Kuroda officer Wei Xiaogao, wants to see you."
Saburo: "Who is it? Kanbei - the name is very similar to Hanbei! Do you know someone?"
I am afraid that only a person like Saburo who knows nothing about history would say such a thing... Is it really okay to not know the officers, soldiers and guards who will be called the first military division of the Warring States Period in later generations!
No, it is probably understandable to see that Saburo even believes that the mastermind of the change in Honnoji Temple is "Aida" who does not know.
"It's the elder of the Kodera family. It has nothing to do with Mr. Takenaka. He came to ask you for peace through the intermediary of Hashiba Hideyoshi." The current Kuroda Kanbei is only a young man. Although he is already talented, he can What Akechi Mitsuhide knew was that the other party was reused at a young age, and because the Kodera family was not outstanding, Akechi Mitsuhide who had never met him did not dare to make rash judgments about Kuroda Kanbei's talents.
He doesn't like Hashiba Hideyoshi, and has always been subconsciously wary of him.But for Kuroda Kanbei who was introduced by Hashiba Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide maintained a calm mood and objectively analyzed the pros and cons.
"You also have the idea of sending troops to Tanba," he said firmly. "If that's the case, it's okay to meet Kuroda."
Xiaoguang disappeared quietly. (not exactly silent)
