Born in the seventh year of astronomy (1538 AD), he is now forty years old, alias Katsubei and Zhuangbei, and is a wise and important minister. At first, he was the son of a samurai in the ground, and later became the command of Akechi Mitsuhide, and then he has been fighting with Akechi Mitsuhide everywhere, Oda Nobunaga because of his many years of merits, Huai Xu from his lord Jun Mitsuhide surname "Akechi", so it is also called Akechi Shigeto.

Shigeru Tsuyo, as a supplementary assistant to Akechi Mitsuhide, began to help his lord deal with government affairs, and thus was reused, and he was a wise and brave man.

In May of the 10th year of Tensho (1582), he followed Akechi Mitsuhide to receive Tokugawa Ieyasu, and at the time of the change of Honnoji, he was in favor of the crusade against Nobunaga. In the same year, he participated in the Battle of Yamazaki, participated in the battle as the first team, and fled with Mitsuhide after the defeat. Later, Akechi Mitsuhide was seriously injured by a samurai hunter, so Shigeru Tsukuo followed Akechi Mitsuhide's orders to make a mistake. After that, he fled back to Omi Sakamoto Castle, the main city of Akechi Mitsuhide, and later committed suicide at the age of 45.

Shigeru is actually a samurai with good martial arts, otherwise he would not have become an old minister of Akechi Mitsuhide's family, after all, Akechi Mitsuhide's vision is still very high.

Shigeru Tsugeo's days in Kawakami Castle have been relatively nourishing these days, except for regularly taking the small lotus team to the front to transport grain and grass, he basically only needs to rest in Kawakami Castle, compared to the people fighting in front of him is really happy.

Although Kawakami City is not near the sea, his subordinates can always get him some game and seafood back, so that he can eat oily during this time, and the soldiers who are close to him can also follow him to drink a mouthful of soup, which is also his way of kingship.

On this day, one of the soldiers under the command of the Tsuwei Zhuang Guard brought back a small jar of turbid wine, which was said to have been obtained from a small village nearby. After he took a sip, although the taste was not as good as Kyoto's sake and plum sake, in this poor and remote place, there was such a sake that should be satisfied, it was a rare wine! In such a place, you should basically not dare to expect extravagance.

Thinking of this, Seo Shobei smiled himself, lying comfortably in the large room of the Imperial Pavilion, drinking beautifully, enjoying the occasional breeze blowing from the porch, this is life!

When he greedily drank all the turbid liquor mixed with the anesthetic medicine he had received from the Kuroda family, he soon felt a sense of sleepiness, and soon he couldn't control his intentions, so he collapsed directly on the floor of Ohiroma, and then there was a loud snoring. Because the soldiers outside loved this chief official, they knew that he had drunk and should have slept well, so no one entered the palace and went to disturb the Tsukuo Shigeru Dynasty.

It's just that Shigeru Tsugeo didn't know that he and the main defender didn't know that at the end of the corridor of the Imperial Pavilion, the two subordinates were whispering after making sure that there was no one around.

"How's it going?" Said in a whisper.

"No problem, the target has fallen asleep from drinking."

"In that case, hurry up and go out to deliver the letter, and get ready to get started!"

"Hey!"

In his sleep, the guard suddenly felt that it was very noisy outside, and the noise was a little loud, so he was disturbed. After trying to make sure he heard correctly, he was immediately awakened. This is also because he is a strong samurai, otherwise even if the sound is loud, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to be woken up, and the amount given by the Kuroda family's sweat medicine is a bit big.

But his mind was clear, but his head was still very painful, he wanted to stand up his body, but found that his whole body was weak, didn't he just drink a little wine? How could it be like this?

He would not have thought that the wine he drank would be drugged by his own subordinates, and until now he could not move freely, he could only lie there and listen to everything outside, listen to the noise in the distance, and slowly move in his direction. The Kuroda family, what can't be wrong, it must be the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family came to attack.

Tsuo Zhuang Guard, a wise and beautiful minister in history, was killed by Takeda Motomitsu in the Kawakami Castle Imperial Pavilion, and until he died, he was not able to make any counterattacks, and his death was extremely aggrieved, because the anesthetic may have been added a little too much.

As for the granary in Kawakami Castle, thousands of stones of grain and grass were found, as the last transit station before the army, there is a granary of this size, in fact, not only is it not large, but it can also be said that this granary is a bit small. If it weren't for the fact that the granary in Kawakami Castle was not large enough, it was really possible to seize more grain.

Takeda Motomitsu ordered that in addition to the grain and grass that everyone left for five days, the rest of the grain and grass were divided among the nearby small wealthy clans and countrymen who had long been guarding aside. For these families, this hundreds of stones of grain is a very big fortune! It's not even much less than their income for more than half a year. If it weren't for Takeda Motomitsu staying on the sidelines, these families who usually have a good relationship might even fight on their own.

However, for these families, as soon as the Kuroda family's army arrived, their hearts had already been tied. Who doesn't want to follow a host who collects less taxes and gives a gift package.

In the end, Takeda Motomitsu threw a torch on the wooden wall of the Kawakami Castle Imperial Pavilion, and the fire burned in Kawakami Castle, knowing that this was only the first step in his rise in Wakasa Province, but he didn't know how far he could go after that.

When Akechi Mitsuhide knew that Kawakami Castle was captured by the Kuroda family and Tsukuo Shobei was killed, Takeda Motomitsu had already led people to capture Iga Valley Castle between Kawakami Castle and Nosaka Castle, and the three castles of Kawakami Castle, Iga Valley Castle, and Nosaka Castle were the three grain and grass transit stations of the Oda family's army.

Under the leadership of Takeda Motomitsu, the three transit stations of the Oda family were gone, and the most important thing was that Nosaka Castle after Iga Valley Castle also did not have many defenders of the Oda family, because Naito Ruan had already gone out with Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga took Naito Ruan away in order to transfer him to another place, even if Naito Ruan did not regard himself as Matsunaga Xiu's subordinate in his heart, but in Oda Nobunaga's heart, he had the label of Matsunaga Xiu.

Matsunaga Hide's has been registered with Oda Nobunaga, so he already has the idea of getting rid of Matsunaga Hide, as his nephew Naito Ruan, Oda Nobunaga doesn't want to put him next to him.

Because it is so close from Nosaka Castle to Kyoto, it only takes less than half a day to arrive, and Naito Ruan still has a team of 1,000 people in his hands, which is enough to shake Kyoto.
