This Kumagai Naoyuki is a powerful family in Wakasa Province, and he is also a powerful figure under the command of the Takeda family before, and was once known as one of the four heavenly kings of Wakasa Province.

Kumagai Naoyuki is a powerful wealthy family of Wakasa Province and the lord of Okurami Castle (Izaki Castle) in Wakasa Sankata County, also known as Kumagai Naosumi, and his official name is Ozen Ryō, commonly known as Denzaemon.

In the first year of Kametsu (1570 AD), Takeda Motoaki became a subordinate force of Oda Nobunaga, and in the same year, Kumagai Naoyuki followed Takeda Motoaki and attacked the Asakura family on the side of the Oda family.

In the 9th year of Tensho (1581 AD), Naoyuki Kumagai led the Kumagai family of Wakasa Province and became a member of the Wakasa Province people under Niwa Nagahide. In the 10th year of Tensho (1582 AD), after the Honnoji BBQ, he became the command of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After that, Naoyuki Kumagai became the wife of Sekihaku Toyotomi Hideji, so he became the general manager, became the CEO, and embarked on the pinnacle of life. The 950 koku Zhixing in Takahashi County, Nishimikawa Province, which he originally obtained from the monkey, received an increase of 50,000 koku in one fell swoop.

In July of the fourth year of Bunroku (1595 AD), because of the birth of Toyotomi Hideyori, Toyotomi Hideji, as the non-monkey biological heir, became very embarrassed, and was executed in the source of the three rivers. It is recorded in the "Kawakaku Taiko Chronicle" that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi had his own heir and was about to abolish Toyotomi Hideji, he persuaded his lord Toyotomi Hideji to rebel. When Toyotomi Hideji was in Koyasan, Kumagai Naoyuki was exposed because of his persuasion of the lord's rebellion, and was finally escorted to Kyoto Sagano Nison-in Temple for seppuku, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's envoy accompanied him throughout the whole process until Kumagai Naoyuki's death.

Kumagai Naoyuki is different from the previously mentioned Naito Chikuzen Mamoru , he is the same as in history, he is single-mindedly on the Oda family's ship, so now he also hopes that the Oda family's army can return to the Oda family's territory smoothly, and it is better to let him show his face in front of Oda Nobunaga because of his merits in protecting the army.

It's just that Kumagai Naoyuki doesn't know Oda Nobunaga's character, and if this army goes back because of failure, it would be good if everyone was not held accountable, and they wanted a reward, which is definitely something that can only happen in the Kuroda family. A small person like Naoyuki Kumagai may be held accountable and killed.

Under the guidance of Kumagai Naoyuki, the Oda family's army quickly headed east, and when Takeda Motomitsu reacted, he realized that they had left.

"What's going on? Is there any other way out of here in the east? I remember there was no other road nearby! After Takeda Motomitsu learned that the Oda family's army had left, he was furious, and he shouted angrily at the people around him for a while.

"Lord Takeda, if you remember it well, there should be a hill not far to the east of this place, and there is a woodland in the middle that is not easy to walk, and you can barely pass through." A young tycoon who had only recently joined said.

"And a place like this?" Takeda Motomitsu looked at the little wealthy family and said in surprise.

"Hey! That's Kumagai Naoyuki's territory.,This is also known by accident.,Most people don't know that there's a road there.。 Mamoru Naito said.

"Naoyuki Kumagai? In that case, he has already taken refuge in the Oda family, and is already willing to serve the Oda family, and he is no longer worthy of being a figure in my Wakasa country. Takeda Motomitsu said resentfully.

"In that case, Lord Takeda, are we still going to pursue them?" Naito Chikuzen guarded the way carefully.

"Lord Naito, as far as these centaurs are concerned, these hundreds of people are not to say that they are being pursued, if there is no protection of the city wall, we will not be able to resist their attack, and the pursuit is absolutely impossible." Takeda Motomitsu replied after thinking for a moment.

"Then let them go, right?" Mamoru Naito asked.

"Hey! That's all there is to it. Takeda Motomitsu looked a little lost.

The Kuroda family is currently on the side of Wakasa Province, and he even doesn't want the Oda family's team to leave even more than Takeda Motomitsu. Of course, he didn't think about the Kuroda family, purely because he had a big grudge with Kumagai Naoyuki.

Sometimes we talk about the so-called office culture, and sometimes we say that colleagues tend to have grudges with each other, and this is often the case.

is more than the two people who were also from the Takeda family, Naito Chikuzen Mamoru and Kumagai Naoyuki, who were both important ministers of the Takeda family in Wakasa Province before, for their own interests, for their own family to be more powerful, and Wakasa Country is a little bigger, and there will inevitably be some friction between the two. After all, the interests of the entire Wakasa country are so big, and if you cut a piece of cake bigger, my piece will naturally be smaller.

In particular, Naito Chikumae Mamoru had also rebelled against the Takeda family with Takeda Motomitsu's father before, which was one of the reasons why Naoyuki Kumagai framed Naito Chikumae before him.

Although Naito's previous participation in the rebellion was entirely the idea of Takeda Yoshito. But sometimes you can't stand some gossip, and it's scary to be a tiger with three people.

So under the circumstances at that time, Takeda Yoshinori still believed Kumagai Naoyuki's words and punished Naito Chikumae Mamoru for the rebellion before, which was the fuse between the two.

So Naito Chikuzen didn't want Naoyuki Kumagai to leave with the Oda family. As long as Kumagai Naoyuki does not leave Wakasa Province, then he has now won the trust of Taketian Motomitsu (he thinks himself), and how he wants to deal with Kumagai Naoyuki in the future is not just his own words.

Before, Kumagai Naoyuki framed himself with words, and he must let him understand the punishment he suffered, after all, this may be the only chance he can make Kumagai Naoyuki pay the price.

But what Takeda Motomitsu said is very right, the Oda family has an army of 5,000, and his command is 800 people, of which the one with combat effectiveness is only 300 people at the beginning, and the other 500 people are all made up by the nearby wealthy clans and countrymen, and there are no farmers with combat effectiveness.

If you let Takeda Motomitsu lead such a team to attack Akechi Mitsuhide, not to mention that the other side has 5,000 people, and the Oda family's peasants and soldiers are full of combat strength after separation, even if they are 3 or 500 people, they can easily defeat them.
