Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 231

Akechi Mitsuhide did not participate in the battle of Nagashino this time, but his heart in Gifu is no less than that of Saburo... the ally of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Yes, although Saburo advocated the iron cannon tactics this time, the person who really worries about these tactics is not Saburo, but Tokugawa Ieyasu who is serious about checking for Saburo.

Although Mitsuhide Akechi knew that Saburo had brought a lot of iron cannons to Okazaki Castle, and Saburo did not hide his specific plan for this battle, but after all, he was not on the battlefield, except for relying on spies (and not the fast version of the sword man). ) to obtain information, Akechi Mitsuhide is almost useless.Therefore, what he was worried about was not the battle Saburo was facing at that time, but the situation in Echizen.

When he faced Saburo, his tone was relaxed and casual, as if everything was clear in his heart, but in fact, Akechi Mitsuhide's contact with Echizen had already stopped in 1568, because he had served as an official in Asakura there, and Akechi Mitsuhide could not make use of his own time. The relationship between working for Yoshikage Asakura and staying there—whether or not those people were believers in Muzong, and whether they survived the turmoil of Ichikui is unknown, and he must not let him and Saburo look the same for this reason Risk of excess exposure.Therefore, unlike Hashiba Hideyoshi, who has the task of monitoring Wakasa like Hashiba Hideyoshi, and cannot use his previous relationship, Akechi Mitsuhide has a hard time understanding Echizen's situation, and can find the Takada faction and Kaga Ichikui in the struggle between Honganji and Kaga The Three Disciples didn't know how much energy they had spent.

He didn't claim credit for what he did, but after Sanlang came back, he calmly asked to meet Saburo, and reduced his hard work these days, which was no less than that of Sanlang's marching, into two or three short sentences.It is precisely because it is too difficult to get in touch with the Echizen sect that Akechi Mitsuhide did not understand Kuroda's officer Wei Takataka's leisure at all, but chose to suggest Saburo to meet him based on the meaning of the other party's representative.

This era was originally an era of mutual plunder.After Saburo defeats Takeda Katsuyori, not only can the city that was originally lost by Takeda Katsuyori be gradually regained, but it also means that the Oda family has lost another powerful enemy, and there are fewer people in the world who can fight against Oda.On the territory of influence, Ise, Yamato, and Hanoi fell under Saburo's control early on. After the Echizen Ichikui was resolved, Saburo, who aimed at the world, was bound to start an outward expansion campaign.Echigo’s Uesugi Kenshin is currently not someone Saburo can shake. In order to balance with Uesugi Kenshin, he can’t choose to pursue the Takeda family at this time——

Then the direction that Saburo will expand next, if nothing else, is on the side of Danba Country and Tango Country.It’s just that Kuroda officer Wei Xiaotaka chose to meet with Saburo at this time. I am afraid that the Ukita Nao family has already invested in Mori, so the Kodera family from Harima Kingdom chose this time to express their goodwill to Oda.Whether it is the Hatano clan who attacked Tanba, or the Moori who may attack Oda with the help of the Ukita Nao family, the friendship of the Kodera family in Harima is a great help to Oda.

After thinking about this, Akechi Mitsuhide cautiously suggested that Saburo agree to Kuroda Kanbei's audience.

It is worth mentioning that Saburo, who only looked at the conclusion, did not know what Akechi Mitsuhide was worried about.

"Please rest well for today's talk." Akechi Mitsuhide finally ended with this sentence, "Tomorrow, when I meet Kuroda officer Wei Takataka, please have someone accompany you."

"Xiao Jiu is fine." Saburo didn't realize how impressive his lack of common sense was, "I still know this level of common sense."

Akechi Mitsuhide just smiled helplessly.

There were still worries in his heart - and it was still about Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Even Akechi Mitsuhide and Takenaka Hanbei have to admit that, at least on the surface, Hashiba Hideyoshi is undoubtedly Saburo's direct minister.As an existence who was single-handedly promoted by Saburo to his current status and can be called an inspirational model, it seems to the outside world that there is almost no possibility of rebelling against the Oda family. He will choose to start with Hashiba Hideyoshi and ask for an audience with Saburo.

Hashiba Hideyoshi's position in the core layer of the Oda family... has been gradually stabilized! !

This kind of cognition made Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't help worrying.Out of reason, he did not prevent Kanbei Kuroda from appearing, but it is foreseeable that more and more people will appear in the Oda family through Hashiba Hideyoshi's way in the future, and some of the Oda family's external power network will always fall. Into Hashiba Hideyoshi's hands.

——Takenaka Hanbei staring at Hashiba Hideyoshi alone, is it really all right?

Moreover, the latter also got the help of Niwa Nagahide, and it will continue like this... If Hashiba Hideyoshi really has different intentions, then when he reveals his ambition, will his power be limited to the current ability? degree of control

It is impossible for Akechi Mitsuhide himself to judge the truth of this kind of thing, and it is impossible to rashly say it to affect Saburo's judgment.

So in the end, as before, he suppressed this ominous and premonition in his heart, put on the face scarf again, and bid farewell to Saburo.

... Except for Saburo, who is free from external disturbances and can fall asleep quickly as usual, most people tonight are also doomed to have poor sleep quality due to too many things to think about.

For example, early the next morning, from the look on his face, it was completely impossible to tell that Hasebe, who had rested at night, pinched his nasal bone wearily, and concluded with a serious face: "You should tell the master to know—although the resistance The time retrograde army is our business, but it is impossible for the lord to continue to be ignorant."

"As 'Oda Nobunaga', he is within the hunting range of the enemy."

Unexpectedly, except for the retainers of the Oda family who are persistently worrying about Saburo and Oda, now even the men with swords are not spared!

It's really not that the sword man is too worried or that Saburo is too worrying... but that the time-traveling army has a new trend.

During the Battle of Nagashino, Tsurumaru Kuninaga and others fought from night to dawn. With the mobilization of wild samurai, except for the first phase of Yizhen who was seriously injured, the rest of the swordsmen were not injured or slandered.It is precisely because Tsurumaru Kuninaga has endured heavier pressure from the enemy this time, so when the sword men who went to Mount Torono returned with Sakai Chuji, the sword Fusangshin of Shitarahara were completely defeated. Unexpectedly, cutting Hasebe and others would turn out to be a tragic situation in which all members were seriously injured and the frontline almost collapsed.Sword Fusangshen would naturally not be able to bring much dingzi oil and book paper with the army, but it would be very good to be able to bring a small pack of jade-shaped whetstones-in this case, the press cut Hasebe and others Naturally, it is impossible to get treatment, and there is a lack of materials for forging and maintenance of knives, and even the spiritual power of a god-inspector will not help. Therefore, when he arrived in Gifu late, he remained in the "collapse of the battle line" and almost lost consciousness. Wait for the talent to finally wake up.

This time, just the powder that was consumed on the blades of their bodies could already spread a thick layer on the Japanese room floor.After a night of maintenance (by hand) from his companions, there are still wounds on Hasebe's body, which is wrapped in layers of bandages like a human being.For this reason, he took off the armor and the costume that resembled the priest, and Hasebe simply wore a loose top. At the neckline, he could faintly see the snow-white color that was different from his skin color.

Yes, this time the time retrograde army's sabotage action against the Battle of Nagashino was really targeted not at the Shitarahara side where Tsurumaru Kuninaga and the others were located, but at the Tobosu mountain where Hasebe and the others were located. party.

This time, the enemy adopted a two-front tactic that had no warning at all, and attacked Shitarahara and Tonesusan at the same time.After Shitarahara was discovered by Yiqi Yizhen, relying on the sword man and thousands of wild warriors, he finally wiped it out before the start of the battle of Nagashino.But the side of Toneso Mountain is more dangerous. Under Sakai Chuji's surprise attack, the time-traveling army that took advantage of the gap to attack has two identities at the same time in the night-for Sakai Chuji, it is the Takeda Army of Toneso Mountain, For the Takeda Army, it was the Oda Army who came to attack together.The time retrograde army directly mixed into the battlefield did not make anyone suspicious, and the loss of personnel caused by the attack by the Takeda army on them was not painful to the total number of time retrograde troops, so Sakai Tadji's side was really targeted.

But Tadashi Sakai was not only responsible for cutting off Takeda’s retreat and luring Takeda Katsuyori to attack Shitarahara in this battle in history, but also took the opportunity to surprise Takeda’s army from the rear after the Battle of Nagashino began. task! !

In order to preserve as much as possible the soldiers following Sakai Chuji this time, what Yakiri Hasebe and others faced was a real, unimaginably fierce battle.Fortunately, this time, the men with swords who worked as "ninjas" in history with Hasebe are all swords suitable for night battles, which relieved a little pressure, but this will not change the serious injuries of all members and the use of swords. Broken result.After trying their best to complete the historical "raid on Mount Tobisu", in order to ensure that Tadashi Sakai could successfully deliver a blow to the back of the Takeda army in the Battle of Nagashino, the swordsmen also used up the little bit of forging that they brought as wound medicine. Knife material - so hard, they finally ensured the historical progress of Sakai Chuji's side.

But the unexpected action of the time-traveling army this time is enough to make people shudder.

It's as if someone is really standing on the top of the time-traveling army and forming a formation.Whether it's the timing of the entry point, or the quick and straight action that hits the center of gravity, or the unsparingness of the time-traveling army, these all make Yaki Hasebe feel familiar with it, and at the same time, he is deeply wary of it.

The number of men with swords has always been their biggest blemish against the time retrograde army.They grasped the timing of the opponent's dispatch, and barely relied on this opportunity to reduce their disadvantages by a lot. But once the time-traveling army really has a large number of people and detailed tactics at the same time, the men with swords really can't guarantee it. , Can they protect the God judge?

Because their god judge is Oda Nobunaga.This is a legendary man who was destined to be targeted by the time retrograde army before the Honnoji Incident.

"I know, I know." At this tense time, Tsurumaru Kuninaga's relaxed tone could hardly drive away the seriousness on Hasebe's face.The white-haired and golden-eyed Taidao also understood the seriousness of the matter, and said directly: "The state of the collapsed front has not recovered so quickly, let me tell the lord."

"No, I want to tell the lord personally." Yaki Hasebe said firmly, "But you still have an issue—you, you also have to go with me to meet the lord."

The attendant is so firm, Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Yiqi Yiqi have no reason to refuse-in fact, even if the front line of pressing and cutting Hasebe collapsed, and the specific incident of Tonosu Mountain was not known until now, they still have the same reason in the first place. It is necessary to tell the god judge for a while.

Putting on the priest's robe that had been removed from his armor, Hasebe took the other two swordsmen to the Japanese room where Saburo was.

There, Hori Hidemasa, who looked as beautiful as a woman, had already guarded the door first.

He didn't ask Yakiri Hasebe and the others why they came in such a hurry, but he reminded him forcefully: "—Stand back, Hasebe. Your Highness is meeting with guests."

Hori Hidemasa's shining eyes were as sharp as an eagle. After scolding, he added: "It's a lobbyist from Harima."

...No need to ask Hori Hidemasa, Kakiri Hasebe already understands who is talking to Saburo in the room at this moment.

Except for his other master Kuroda Takataka after Oda Nobunaga, don't think about it.

In fact, Shitarahara's tactics should have been like this.Tsurumaru divides his troops at night, some go to dig traps and some fight, and then divide up after daytime, some face the enemy, some lie in ambush and some rest, and when the time-traveling army attacks, first the traps work, and then the first stage, one shock and others The ambushes, and finally the resting part of the wild warriors appeared as surprise soldiers, and the sword equipment began to be used. When the sword equipment was broken, I temporarily used the sword equipment given to Ieyasu by Saburo—but it was too long to write, so I just wrote the whole story after the surprise soldiers. cut it off :)

No surprise, no surprise!

As soon as Hasebe got up, he went to look for Saburo, and then he knew that Guanbingwei 23333333 was really pitiful.
