Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 243

The original idea of ​​the Touken Man was to persuade Hashiba Hideyoshi to make a move—however, in terms of the understanding of the overall situation of this era and the direction of historical events, the Touken Man may have the upper hand, but if you really want to say how to get involved in the war without a trace, or Men of swords still have a long way to go to catch loopholes and take corresponding measures.

...That is, although Ichiji Yijin saw the disadvantages of Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy, he didn't know how to proceed specifically, let alone know the meaning of how the Hashiba brothers did it.

Hashiba Hideyoshi and Hashiba Hidecho, who were born as real ninjas in this era, are obviously too cautious.On the issue of Saburo's interests, both Hideyoshi and Hideonaga are loyal and honest, but when they make trouble behind their backs, they often don't speak out directly, and even decide to destroy Saburo's relationship with Echizen this time. After tactics, they never talked about related topics again.

Even though he was dissatisfied with his glib and frivolous younger brother, Hashiba Hideyoshi obviously recognized his talent, otherwise he would not have entrusted him with such a secret matter.Even if Hideyoshi will not be completely relieved, he still maintains a high degree of attention to his younger brother's actions, but in a certain way, it is already a rare level of trust for others as a ninja.

...At present, the number of sword Fusangshin in Oda Iehonmaru is not too many, and those who once fell into the hands of Hashiba Hideyoshi are even less, and the only few among them are Ichishin and Gukuu Toshiro. Hashiba Hideyoshi had a profound influence, but because it was burned in the battle of Osaka Castle in history, more or less amnesia occurred after incarnation Fusangshin.

Even though the memories of the swordsmen were originally blurred by time, only a few fragments that had the deepest influence on themselves and the history instilled in the mind by the government of the time are clear. , I still choose to ask Odaya Honmaru, who has the most junior qualifications so far, Ishin Touken Mikazuki Munechi (Fu Sangshen), trying to find out what he thinks of Hashiba Hideyoshi from the other party.

"Oh, it's Hideyoshi." Even among the many outstanding swordsmen in Honmaru, Tachi Fusangshen, who is also outstanding in appearance, replied with a hearty and direct smile, "I don't have much impression—if it is not If I remember anything related to Hideyoshi, it’s probably only that he hates me hahaha, the feeling of being hated is also rare.”

Then of course I didn't get anything useful.

... No, it should still be useful. For example, in the previous episode, Hashiba Hideyoshi was obviously very comfortable with the appearance of "Mikazuki Munechi", but Mikazuki Munechi said that Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't like "Mikazuki Munekin" as a sword.Can be ranked among the five swords in the world, "Sankai Tsukimunechi" has impeccable taste and appearance, and it is a sword forged in the Heian period. In any case, it should not be casually rejected by Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Or is it because "Mikazuki Munekin" will be given to his wife Ning Ning by Hashiba Hideyoshi in the future, and Mikazuki Munekin will make such a statement

In the first phase, Yizhen couldn't understand what the "hate" in Mikazuki Munechi's mouth meant-it should be said that Mikazuki Munekin himself didn't know, but he was sure of Hashiba Hideyoshi's attitude towards him (blade).Therefore, after a period of no gain at all, they can only press Hasebe to look at each other in the end, and wait for the passage of time in the helplessness of the previous entanglement.

On the [-]th, the army rations had already been delivered to Tsuruga; on the [-]th, it was time for various troops to dispatch and prepare for war.

During the Battle of Nagashino, Saburo showed no mercy at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Takeda Army suffered a disastrous defeat.However, in the eyes of the Yikui Army, which is completely ignorant of the advantages and disadvantages of tactics, it is easy to attribute the Warring States Period to the convenience of iron cannons. The battle of Xiao made a wrong judgment, and it was only regarded as an ordinary battle between daimyo forces.This year is Saburo's "year of calamity". Although Saburo did not hide in Gifu at all, but continued to fight, but he implemented benevolent government and rescued refugees on the way to Shangluo. He did not seem to have no scruples. In his heart The anxious Ichikui army did not hate the Oda family as much as before.

The most important thing is that when Yixiangzong and Kaga Yikui were fighting for power, these farmers really didn't get any benefits.And before Ichikomune and Kaga Ichikui reached a unity and gave them a better life than they are now, the Oda family had already started their attack on Echizen.

The reason why the Yikui Army can pose a threat to Oda is that the fanatics are not afraid of death, and the battlefield is just a place that can arouse people's emotions.But after all, not all of the Ichikui Army are fanatics. Under the premise that many people have already become dissatisfied with Ichikozong, and Oda Nobunaga’s behavior seems not as brutal as the rumors, they and the Oda family have a relationship because of religion. The hatred is not as strong as before.

Therefore, when the Oda family raided the major strongholds of the Ichikui Army, the Ichikui Army did not show the momentum it should have when facing the "Buddhist enemies".It has only been a few years since Kaga Ichikui completed domestic autonomy, and the superficial experience he relied on when leading the Echizen Ichikui Army is completely unable to beat the many outstanding generals of the Oda Army to achieve their goals as soon as possible.Even on the [-]th, Saburo did not sit in command, but arrived at Mume Pass on the second day, the generals of the Oda Army also displayed excellent combat power——

The problem happened on the [-]th.

This time, Oda's total strength was close to 12. Even if the troops were divided to attack the various strongholds of the Ichikui Army, there were enough people. Even Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was assigned to attack Kono Castle and had the smallest force, had as many as 5000 troops.Such a number itself already represents an absolute advantage, not to mention that the Oda family is in full swing after defeating the Takeda army, and the situation is simply one-sided after the previous Ichikui army.

Akechi Mitsuhide was ordered to attack Sugitsuguchi together with Shibata Katsuie and others.They have a total of 5 horses under their command, and there is no possibility for the Ichikui army to counterattack. In addition, Sugatsuguchi originally had internal support from the Oda family. After leaving the city, Shibata Katsuya led troops to chase the fleeing enemy.

Of course, this pursuit is not too dangerous.Shibata Katsuya is also a veteran of the Oda family, and he also served Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide. He was awarded the territory of Echizen Kingdom for his military exploits.Not only Akechi Mitsuhide knew it well, but other retainers had also noticed that Shibata Katsuie would take the bulk of this reward.This time, the pursuit of deserters is called chasing, but it is actually driving away, and it is just to add a battle exploit to Katsuya Shibata.

That's how it should be.

——But after Shibata Katsuya led his troops back to the city, he told Akechi Mitsuhide that it was not the completion of the pursuit, but that the Ichikui fleeing army was pinched back and forth this time, and finally the entire army was wiped out!

... Regarding the development that was so fast and ruthless, and almost completely pinched the weakness of this plan, Mitsuhide Akechi asked Shibata Katsuie very calmly about the situation at that time, and then left Sugijinkou in the name of "reporting to the lord" and hurried to the Where Saburo is.And when he finally saw Saburo, the rare Saburo who got up early was holding the battle report and looking at him innocently.

"Not only Sugatsuguchi, Kono Castle has also achieved a lot of victories?"

Yes, what was shown to Akechi Mitsuhide was such a result.

Numerous victories are naturally an evaluation worthy of generals in this era, but it is completely contrary to Akechi Mitsuhide and Saburo's original conception.If Mitsuhide Akechi's goal of retaining most of the population of Echizen and getting rid of Saburo Buddha's reputation as enemies was to be realized, the first requirement is that the suppression of the Ichikui Army should not exceed their limits.Once the Ichikui army has suffered so many casualties that they reunite in hopelessness and fight against the Oda army with hatred and hatred, then it will not only bring the contradiction between the Ichikui army and the Ichiko clan to the Oda family and become angry The Ichikui army in Echizen may cause casualties to the Oda army, and more importantly, even if there is a Kui army willing to surrender later in order to save their lives, the Ichikui forces in Echizen will not die because of this.

By that time, the repeated Ichikui forces will undoubtedly affect Oda's rule over Echizen, not to mention the manpower and material resources that will be lost in the suppression!

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help muttering to himself: "...What is the reason?"

With Saburo's clear attitude of reducing the casualties of the Yikui Army, with Saburo's current deterrent power, it is impossible for anyone to dare to violate his will!

"It's Hideyoshi's side—ah, and Niwa's side." Regarding the unexpected situation, Saburo was a little troubled, but only troubled.

His voice was a little more serious than usual, and he finally broke away from his previous loose image, but he did not frown and look serious like Akechi Mitsuhide, but explained in a purely narrative tone: "Hideyoshi and Niwa The news from both sides is that they have encountered a large number of fanatics. There is no other way but to wipe out all the fanatics. Where is Xiaoguang?"

"I didn't encounter these, only when Mr. Shibata was chasing, the route of the fleeing Ichikui army was blocked by Hashiba Hideyoshi's troops and began to attack. The Ichikui army panicked and chose to resist, and was eventually wiped out by Mr. Shibata and Hideyoshi. And afterward, Hashiba Hideyoshi claimed that he was a chasing fanatic."

"Oh, then there's no way."

An ordinary Ichikui army is completely different from a fanatic.In the case of uneven distribution of benefits, the Ichikui Army may waver, but the fanatics are always following in the footsteps of Yixiangzong.Saburo, who was identified as "Buddha's enemy" by Yixiangzong, and who once burned temples and massacred believers, said that the enemies of these fanatics thought it was too light - this kind of extreme hatred naturally could not make them choose to retreat from the Oda Army, but Under their attacks regardless of their own life and death, it became difficult to control the offensive.

...At exactly this time, did a large number of fanatics just appear!

Since the interests of Honganji Temple and Kaga Ikkui are inconsistent, then these supporters of Honganji Temple should stay near the temple, not Ikkui's stronghold! !Not to mention that the "large number of people" reported by Hashiba Hideyoshi and Niwa Chohide is unreasonable in itself. It is too coincidental that Hashiba Hideyoshi, who took a detour to attack Kono Castle, would suddenly appear and complete the back and forth attack with Shibata Katsuie !

Hashiba Hideyoshi - would be stupid enough to challenge Oda Nobunaga's authority at a time like this

Moreover, if what happened to Shibata Katsuya was deliberately done by Hashiba Hideyoshi, how should the fanatics Niwa Nagahide encounter be explained?

For a long time, he has maintained disgust and vigilance towards Hashiba Hideyoshi, so that when the other party really has a problem, Akechi Mitsuhide suspects whether his own selfishness is causing trouble, so he draws this purely malicious inference.

He always safeguards the interests of Saburo, because he understands the heavy bond between himself and Saburo, so he has always been very cautious in behaviors similar to "suppression".

Is it really a coincidence, or is it a bold rebellion against Saburo, which determines the two completely different consequences of Hashiba Hideyoshi.

"—No matter what, the failure of this battle has made it impossible to achieve the original goal. This is already a certainty."

Akechi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice.

"Please change the order. Reject everyone's surrender, and kill the Yikui army."

The attitude of Ichikui Army is partly made up by me.

Echizen's consistent suppression refers to the "Oda Nobunaga Biography" written by the Red Army Changsheng.

Issue [-]: Why Hideyoshi Hates You

Sankaiyue: Hahaha, because I am the sword that the lord refused and forced him to keep.

That's right.It is also because of this disgusting attitude that Hideyoshi is privately set up in this article to give the crescent moon to the woman.

Oh, of course, historically, it was because Hideyoshi loved his wife Ning Ning deeply.
