Akechi Mitsuhide must have been a discordant plan implemented by Honda Masanobu, but there is no conclusive human and physical evidence to prove that he is not his subordinate to go to the war, so he can only temporarily overestimate the opponent and treat it solemnly, originally he also wanted to go to Katsuryuji Castle to meet Ashikaga Yoshiteru to eliminate the misunderstanding.

The subsequent news made Akechi Mitsuhide have to discourage going to Katryuji Castle to meet Ashikaga Yoshiteru, because he learned that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had someone around him who wanted to kidnap him when he was in the audience, and then force him to hand over his military power, and eventually have to bow and hide the dog.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew the virtues of the shogunates, and he originally assigned Wada Yumasa to strengthen the strength of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and block the faces of the shogunates, so that Ashikaga Yoshiki thought that he had no selfish intentions, but it backfired, so he had to be cautious.

You must know that once Akechi Mitsuhide fails, it will not only be as simple as losing his life, it will seriously affect the interests of the Akechi Department, and thus it will also affect the political situation of the Daodong Army.

Considering that Masanobu Honda went to great lengths to force Akechi Mitsuhide out of the chain of command, he had to be cautious. As a general, Akechi Mitsuhide can be said to be very important to the situation of the Eastern Army, you must know that once he is deposed, everyone in Akechi Mitsuhide's system will die and everyone will be in danger, so that the 30,000 troops that Akechi Mitsuhide can command will immediately collapse. This 30,000-strong army can be said to be the mainstay of the Eastern Army, and once it collapses without a fight, it will be a huge loss for the Eastern Army.

Akechi Mitsuhide originally wanted to go to meet Ashikaga Yoshiki and clear up the misunderstanding, but Ashikaga Yoshiki might be able to forgive him. It's not because of trust and respect for him. but because of the needs of the war. This protracted war requires a commander like Akechi Mitsuhide, who is accustomed to conquest, has outstanding military achievements, and is highly respected. However, the shogunes who followed Ashikaga Yoshiteru would not think that they would take it for granted that Akechi Mitsuhide was able to become the commander of one side by flattery, and they could do well in the position of commander.

The only example that Akechi Mitsuhide can say is the Battle of Yamazaki, and the rest are confrontations with Honda Masanobu, falling in love and killing each other, without any victory, and losing a lot of soldiers and horses, not to mention that the Battle of Yamazaki is still against the local grass bandits. Be not worth mentioning.

The shogunes around Ashikaga Yoshiki think that their abilities are on par with Akechi Mitsuhide, and they are slightly higher, in terms of seniority, they are all shoguns who have followed the shogunate for generations, and Akechi Mitsuhide is just a ronin background, and they can't be compared.

Under the slander of the shogunates, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was also moved, and he led a rabble of 30,000 to Takatsuki Castle, where he lived temporarily for most of the day, and sent envoys to the front camp several times to summon Akechi Mitsuhide.

The arrival of Ashikaga Yoshiki forced Akechi Mitsuhide to the edge of the cliff. As it stands. If Wise Guangxiu is lucky, at most he will fall into the underestimation of his career. Shang Ke made a comeback, if he was unlucky, I am afraid that he would really be put under house arrest.

Whether it's good luck or bad luck, Akechi Mitsuhide knows that once Ashikaga Yoshiteru arrives, he will lose his military power, and if he loses his military power, he will be done playing. Wise Mitsuhide thought about it and knew that the incident could not wait any longer, and it could not be allowed to ferment any longer.

When Ashikaga Yoshiki arrived at the camp, whether Akechi Mitsuhide wanted it or not, he had to give up his military power and hand over all power to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and then he became the deputy commander, and finally ended up under house arrest.

Some of his retainers were persuaded to rebel, some were silent, and Akechi Mitsuhide gradually sorted out the context, he knew that time waited for no one, and only by saving himself could he get out of danger. Attack, yes, attack, not attacking is waiting for death, there is still a glimmer of life in attacking, so in the case of necessity, the only way to attack is to save yourself.

Akechi Mitsuhide tells his retainers that if they are willing to continue to believe in him, then they will quickly gather troops and start attacking Ibaraki Castle, and use the attack to pierce the lie that they are going to defect, otherwise, they can only pray to heaven and fend for themselves.

Most of his retainers have been following since the Mino era, and if they don't follow Akechi Mitsuhide, who else can they follow, I'm afraid that once Akechi Mitsuhide loses his military power, their fate will not be much better than Akechi Mitsuhide, and they will definitely be eliminated.

Akechi Mitsuhide gained everyone's loyalty, and said: "The situation of the original decisive battle has not yet come, but now that the general has led an army of 30,000 into the field, we have an absolute advantage in numbers, so we can't take care of it, but we must let the army of Takatsuki Castle also drag into the battlefield, otherwise with our strength alone, even if we attack, we will suffer heavy losses." ”

His retainers bowed their heads one after another, agreeing with Akechi Mitsuhide's opinion, it is true, Honda Masanobu relied on the layered defense system to block their troops, and if they were forced to attack, they would indeed suffer heavy losses, and since Ashikaga Yoshiteru had arrived, it would be good to let Ashikaga Yoshiki feel the atmosphere of the big war, so that Ashikaga Yoshiki would know that Akechi Mitsuhide was not eating dry rice again.

Akechi Mitsuhide continued: "Time waits for no one, the situation in Tanba is deteriorating, and the strength of the Date family is probably not waiting for us to divide the victory before a large army arrives, and nearly 100,000 troops from both sides of the Yodo River in Settsu Province have gathered. ”

After a pause, Akechi Mitsuhide said what he was thinking: "The arrival of the Shogun is imposing, this matter is difficult to keep secret, Honda Masanobu must be clear, then we can't sit still, we can get up, launch an attack, I will fight to the death in Ibaraki Castle." Mizoo Asashige, you should quickly inform the Shogun of my plan to Takatsuki Castle, and ask the Shogun to cooperate. ”

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that Akechi Mitsuhide's plan was to attack immediately, which made them all stunned, not knowing how to reply. Even Mizoo Chaomao, who wanted to leave, was stunned and asked in a low voice, "If the general doesn't cooperate, how should I deal with it?" ”

Wise Mitsuhide squinted at Mizoo Asashige, but did not answer, Mizoo Asamoge was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded: "Yes!" So saying, he withdrew from the tent and hurried away.

After Mizoo Asamoge received the order, he rode out and headed straight for Takatsuki Castle. You must know that Takatsuki Castle and Ibaraki Castle are not far apart. The distance between Takatsuki Castle and Akechi Mitsuhide Camp is even closer. The movement in the camp was first learned by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Yoneda Yumasa saw that Akechi Mitsuhide's camp suddenly started to operate, his eyelids jumped in shock, and he was very irritable, and hurriedly came to Ashikaga Yoshiteru's side, and said, "Lord Shogun, Akechi Mitsuhide knows that you have arrived, and if he doesn't come to meet him, what does he want to do?" ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka is also speechless. If Achichi Mitsuhide can come to the audience, he can also persuade on both sides and turn the conflict into a jade silk. Moreover, he is not without ambitions, once Akechi Mitsuhide leaves, then Hosokawa Fujitaka is afraid that not only will not be involved, but will be able to go further and seize the military power left by Akechi Mitsuhide. However, Hosokawa Fujitaka is not ruthless, and persuaded in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not what Ichiki Mamoru thinks, but the ten people must be entangled in important things." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki glared at Hosokawa Fujitaka fiercely, and immediately stood on the castle tower and chatted at the camp of Akechi Mitsuhide. The essence in his eyes flickered, and his heart kept thinking. Could it be another military admonition, the hateful wise Guangxiu, who will make you look good today.

Hosokawa Fujitaka stepped aside and stopped talking, for fear that he would really annoy Ashikaga Yoshiki and be implicated by Akechi Mitsuhide, but he still kept peeking at Ashikaga Yoshiteru, thinking that Ashikaga Yoshiki today seemed to be a little wrong, I was afraid that Akechi Mitsuhide really annoyed him.

Yoneda Qiumasa and the others glanced at Nono's speechless Hosokawa Fujitaka, and the corners of their mouths showed a slight treacherous smile, they knew that once Akechi Mitsuhide resigned, the military power left behind would be directly under Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but they could also share a lot. Peers are enemies, Yoneda and others are also very unaccustomed to Hosokawa Fujitaka, the "traitorous villain" who surrounds Ashikaga Yoshiki and Akechi Mitsuhide all day long, once Akechi Mitsuhide steps down, they must participate in a good book in front of Ashikaga Yoshiki, and suppress Hosokawa Fujitaka, it is best to let Hosokawa Fujitaka fall with Akechi Mitsuhide.

The shogunates intrigued with each other, Ashikaga Yoshiki stood on the castle tower and was thrilled, he was afraid that Akechi Mitsuhide would really march to admonish the army, when he was in Katryuji Castle that day, there were only a few "thousands", but now it is a full 30,000 people, once Takatsuki Castle is besieged, I am afraid that the rabble in the castle will immediately collapse.

Ashikaga Yoshiki thought about it or stabilized Akechi Mitsuhide first, and then cut Akechi Mitsuhide's authority step by step. Thinking about it, a horse has already rushed to the city, the flag behind him is very familiar, and the armor is speechless, Yoneda asked for a political urgency: "Yes, yes, it's that day...... He was so bold that he was so bold that he ......" and stuttered in horror.

Mizoo Asamoge didn't know that Takatsuki Castle was panicking because of his arrival, so he shouted loudly: "Shogun, Shogun, report to Shogun quickly, my lord Akechi Mitsuhide is about to launch an attack on Ibaraki Castle on the orders of Shogun, and I ask Shogun to cooperate in defending the castle!" He shouted three times before galloping away.

Ashikaga Yoshiki's face turned red, and his neck was also red, he was angry, and Akechi Mitsuhide's retainers were so bold that they didn't come into the city to report it, but announced it in front of the public, and Akechi Mitsuhide was about to attack.

In fact, Mizoo Asahige's behavior is understandable, you must know that Takatsuki Castle and Ibaraki Castle are very close, Akechi Mitsuhide moved, Takatsuki Castle can see the movement of the camp, Ibaraki Castle can too, Akechi Mitsuhide wants to attack Ibaraki Castle is not sneaky, why can't he announce it. Besides, Mizoo Asamoge has another advantage in doing this, Akechi Mitsuhide wants to attack, will Ashikaga Yoshiki agree or not? If only a few people knew, Ashikaga Yoshiki would still be able to stop Akechi Mitsuhide's actions, but everyone in the public knew that Ashikaga Yoshiki could only pinch his nose and come down.

Mizoo Asagi also said that Akechi Mitsuhide's private attack was under the order of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so that once Ashikaga Yoshiki did not cooperate with Akechi Mitsuhide's offensive behavior, then it was Ashikaga Yoshiki who would eventually lose his color, not Akechi Mitsuhide.

How can Ashikaga Yoshiki not be angry, Hosokawa Fujitaka is also a pig liver color, and roared in a low voice: "Bastard thing! Yoneda and others also whispered and scolded Akechi Mitsuhide's villain behavior, and they all slandered to give Akechi Mitsuhide a look.

Akechi Mitsuhide moved, Honda Masanobu saw that something was wrong at the first time, he clenched his fists and slammed the castle, and shouted: "What a wise Mitsuhide, what a beautiful wise man, he actually wants to use an attack to break the rumors." ”

The face of the bee house Hanzhicheng changed, and he asked without thinking, "Akechi Mitsuhide, he wants a decisive battle?" ”

Honda Masanobu nodded heavily and said: "Yes, in the decisive battle, Akechi Mitsuhide is worthy of being a wise man, he knows one thing, that is, our forces are not enough to defeat him in a battle, even if he takes the initiative to attack, we can only fight steadily, especially when Ikeda Castle falls to Wada Yumasa, we have no reinforcements." ”

The Bee House had a different opinion, and said: "My lord, the decisive battle is beneficial to us, Akechi Mitsuhide can be said to be a lone army, the food supply of the 30,000 army depends on Takatsuki Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide can only open the situation if he wins the battle, otherwise he can starve them to death?!" ”

As soon as the words of the bee house Hannojo fell, Maeno Nagayasu expressed a different opinion and said, "Ashikaga Yoshiki doesn't even have this amount of tolerance?" Once Akechi Mitsuhide launched an attack, Ashikaga Yoshiteru should know that the time for a decisive battle would come, and even if he didn't want to, he would have to supply military rations, and the liquidation could be calculated after the war. ”

Beehouse Hannoki didn't dare to refute Honda Masanobu, and he was not so polite to Maeno Nagayasu, he replied: "I'm not saying that Ashikaga Yoshiteru wants to deliberately cut off Akechi Mitsuhide's food, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself doesn't have much surplus food, and now Ashikaga Yoshiteru has entered the field, and the total strength has been as high as seventy or eighty thousand, and half of these people were originally fed by the Eastern Army such as Enryakuji Temple." ”

Maeno Nagayasu stopped talking, it is true that as the beehouse Hannojo said, originally Takatsuki Castle plus Akechi Mitsuhide, the number of the eastern army in Settsu was about 35,000 people, even if the 3,000 people of Katsuryuji Castle were added, the total strength was only 40,000, which made it impossible for the powerful people who supported Ashikaga Yoshiteru in the east to maintain. Now Ashikaga Yoshiteru has recruited more than 30,000 people to enter the field at once, so the total strength of the Eastern Army around Takatsuki Castle is as high as 70,000 or 80,000 people, and these people have to eat and drink, which is a large expense.

Honda Masanobu maintained 30,000 soldiers and horses, more than 25,000 to be exact, which was also stretched and difficult to maintain, and the daily ration of military rations, not to mention Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Honda Masanobu figured everything out and said, "If he wants to fight, then fight!" (To be continued.) )
