Early in the morning of August 5th, Yodogawa, Akechi Mitsuhide camp.

Ashikaga Yoshiki's edict is long overdue, and Akechi Mitsuhide wants to wear it, but fortunately, the content of the edict is in line with his wishes, which can be regarded as comfort, you must know that now Ashikaga Yoshiki wants to let Wada Yumasa replace Akechi Mitsuhide as the main general.

Why can't Ashikaga Yoshiteru make a decision? Akechi Mitsuhide learned through secret channels that Ashikaga Yoshiki was indeed hesitant about the sudden outbreak of rumors, and hesitated for a long time before letting the rumors become reality, which was actually considered from reality.

You must know that Akechi Mitsuhide has been in control of this force for a long time, since the day Ashikaga Yoshiteru returned to Sakamotokan. Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka began to form the shogunate army, in fact, Hosokawa Fujitaka's task is more reflected in logistics, and diplomacy also involves a lot of energy, so naturally most of the tasks of formation and training are completed by Akechi Mitsuhide.

The core part of this shogunate army has very obvious traces of Akechi Mitsuhide, and after several expansions, it joined many armies that served Ashikaga Yoshiteru, among which the best-equipped and most morale-friendly army has always been in the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide.

Then the question is, what will happen to Akechi Mitsuhide with this shogunate army firmly in his hands, and Ashikaga Yoshiki will become suspicious and deprive Akechi Mitsuhide of his command. Ashikaga Yoshiteru couldn't believe what the consequences were, so on the one hand, he strengthened Wada Yumasa, and on the other hand, he could only appease Akechi Mitsuhide so that he could balance each other.

There are many wars where the victory or defeat of this war is always decided by the little people, and on the one hand, the bee house half-no-no-no-san spreads rumors, true and false. He knew that such rumors alone would not be able to defeat Akechi Mitsuhide. His role in spreading rumors is simply to throw a stone into a calm pond. The purpose is just to make the ripples appear.

Cast a stone on such a calm surface without waves. Undoubtedly, he was testing the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Akechi Mitsuhide, planting the seeds of doubt deep in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart and planting evil consequences for his follow-up.

It's like hitting a snake with a seven-inch part, and everything must be mastered in order to be effective in one fell swoop. Therefore, this incident at least made the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Akechi Mitsuhide intense. If Akechi Mitsuhide went to Katryuji Castle alone to meet Ashikaga Yoshiki at this time, then perhaps the two would keep their faces calm. He didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, but Honda Masanobu's frequent transfers forced Akechi Mitsuhide to stay away from the front line, and time dragged on and on.

The delay in time has given some conspirators the best soil.

On the night of August 7, a group of samurai wearing "bellflower" banners appeared out of thin air around the castle, and the leading man appeared at the front of the castle wearing antler armor, and it was vaguely clear from his blackened face that it was the bee house Hannojo.

Do a full set of plays, send the Buddha to the west, and the bee house half of the Cheng got the order of Honda Masanobu, and went out day and night. Finally, on the night of August 6, they crossed the foothills of Mt. Tenno and arrived outside the castle of Katryuji Temple. On the evening of August 7, the banner of "Kikyo" was held up and raided Shenglong Temple Castle.

The number of people who raided was not too much, but about 300 people, and by the light of the night, the bee house Hannojo made the raid team of 300 people faintly into a scale of more than 3,000 people, which looked very powerful, he stood on top of a mound, pointed to Katsuryuji Castle and shouted, "It is early in the summer, and the whole army must rush in before dawn and take down the head of Ashikaga Yoshiteru." ”

At this time, the people of Shenglong Temple City had just fallen asleep, and there was silence all around. The Bee House Hannojo gave the order to attack. Why fight? is unknown to most soldiers. The winner is the king and the loser is the loser, and if you want to survive, you can only defeat the enemy. The martial artist who abandoned the spear of the Heavenly Angel sword survived in such a reality, and as soon as he heard the military order to charge, he immediately let out a heaven-shattering cry and rushed to the front of the wall.

"Kill! Come on! "The Bee House Half of the Castle knew that it would not be possible to break through the castle of Shenglong Temple, which had 3,000 defenders alone, and he was just casting a net and sprinkling eye medicine on Akechi Mitsuhide, and the more than 300 people sent out were all fanatics, and they were suddenly awakened by shouts of killing in the silence of the night.

The sleeping Ashikaga Yoshiteru suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he got up with a bone, he didn't sleep for several days, and his energy was low, and he just slept today, he was awakened, and he seemed to see countless enemies wielding war knives with teeth and claws, and he instinctively let out a creepy scream: "Night attack!" Night Raid! ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru rushed out topless, holding a famous sword, he wanted to see who wanted his life, you must know that he is also a samurai who has been practicing for many years, and the panic at the beginning quickly calmed down, you must know that Katsuryuji Castle has three thousand defenders, as long as it holds on for a while, reinforcements will continue to come.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru shouted loudly as he walked, "Who the hell is it? Who the hell dared to attack Katryuji Castle, could it be the beam-jumping clown of Ishiyama Honganji, and how did they pass through the foothills of Tenno? The knife he was holding trembled slightly.

Yoneda Tsushimasa, who was on duty today, hurried over, saw Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and reported: "The banner of the person who came is a bellflower pattern, and it is the army of Akechi Mitsuhide, with a number of about 3,000 or more, and it seems to be the vanguard, and there are many people in the follow-up. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide's high position as a ronin certainly caused the dissatisfaction of many shoguns who had followed the shogunate for generations, and Yoneda Yumasa was one of them, and he could see that the attacking enemy had a bellflower banner on his back, and he took it for granted that Akechi Mitsuhide had rebelled and exaggerated the number of enemies countless times.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru heard the wise Mitsuhide rebellion, his fists creaked, the sword in his hand trembled violently, and he said viciously: "In vain, I trust you, the first to betray me was you, hmph, those rumors are probably not rumors, go, take me to see." ”

Yoneda Yumasa stepped forward to block Ashikaga Yoshiteru's way, and said eagerly: "General, wise Mitsuhide rebelled!" It's dangerous here, please hurry to a safe place and take refuge, we rely on Shenglong Temple Castle, we will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and please take refuge for the time being. ”

The courtiers persuaded one after another, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru snorted coldly, and he clenched his sword. He shouted, "I want to see the face of Akechi Mitsuhide." Get the hell out of here! As he spoke, he broke through the barriers of the courtiers. Hurriedly walking towards the outer city, the shogunates had to follow.

When Ashikaga Yoshiteru arrived at the castle, the castle had already been arrayed, and a samurai wearing antler armor appeared at the castle, with a bellflower banner on his back, apparently a general. Yoneda took the lead and shouted, "Akechi Mitsuhide, are you trying to rebel?" ”

The bee house was half stunned. He originally intended to spread the glorious deeds of Akechi Mitsuhide, and when he heard Ashikaga Yoshiteru shouting, he didn't care who was above, and replied loudly: "The name of my lord is also what you can call, and ask Ashikaga Shogun to come out." ”

Yoneda wanted to scold angrily, but Ashikaga Yoshiki stopped him, his eyes sharpened, and then he said loudly: "General Ben is here, and you are a wise and ten-term retainer?" Why raise swords and soldiers against the master, such a big rebellious thing. Let him come out immediately. ”

The bee house Hannoki was stunned again, he didn't expect Ashikaga Yoshiteru to come to the castle in person. Glancing at Shenglong Temple City, if there were three thousand people under his command, he would dare to break through the city, but he was actually only three hundred, his eyes rolled, and he bowed respectfully: "Please also ask the general for forgiveness!" Your Excellency General, it is not the business of the lord to come here today, and the lord does not know about this matter, and the lord of the matter does not know about it, and the lord of the country is here to see that no matter how many people sow discord in front of the general, slander my lord, and ask the general to clear out the traitors. ”

As soon as the words of the bee house and half of the city fell, the originally noisy voice at the head of the city suddenly became a lot quieter, not a rebellion, but a soldier's admonition, and the scene that had just been quiet became noisy again.

Ashikaga Yoshiki glanced at everyone coldly, and then shouted loudly: "This kind of thing is waiting for your lord to come, so hurry up and retreat." ”

Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiki was relieved, Ashikaga raised his head and shouted: "Lord Shogun, a certain person is fighting bravely on the front line for the Zhongxing Shogunate, and some people are secretly using cold arrows behind their backs, does the Shogun want to shield these traitorous children?" ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was furious and shouted, "Presumptuous! ”

The bee house half of the Cheng raised his head completely, and replied: "Today, a certain person came to the army to admonish, and he was already prepared for life and death, and he had to die if he succeeded, and he had to die if he didn't, but he was not afraid, he was born for the great cause of the lord, and he died for the great cause of the lord." ”

Saying that for the sake of the great cause of wise Mitsuhide, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face suddenly turned red when he heard it, and he was expressionless and silent. Yoshiki Yoshiki, seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiki no longer spoke, heard every word just now, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

The arrows in the air flew like locusts, and the bee house army in full gear had almost no defense against bows and arrows, and the distance saved their lives, and only paid a few casualties, so that they withdrew from the battlefield, but the bee house half of the body had two feathered arrows stuck in the body, hanging on the armor, and there was no damage.

Seeing the counterattack of Shenglong Temple City, the beehouse Banzhicheng smiled coldly and shouted loudly: "General Xiao'er, a certain and others are fighting bravely to kill the enemy on the front line, and Xiao'er is enjoying himself alone behind his back. Brothers, follow so-and-so, go! ”

As soon as they couldn't find them, Ashikaga Yoshiki would suspect that Akechi Mitsuhide had secretly sheltered them, and the relationship between the two would become extremely bad.

Honda Masanobu secretly used a divisive scheme to drive a wedge between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Akechi Mitsuhide. In fact, the relationship between him and Honganji Xianru has long passed the honeymoon period, but now Honda Masanobu is better than Akechi Mitsuhide in that Honganji Xianru can't find anyone to replace Honda Masanobu.

The battle of Ikeda Castle can be said to have reversed the fate of many people, Shimoma Yoriteru did not grasp the opportunity that was hard to get, he could not become the successor of Honda Masanobu, Shinma Yorilong had to guard Koshisui Castle, and the rest of the people were either not qualified enough, or they were not capable enough, and Honganji was obviously impossible to leave Ishiyama Honganji, so Honda Masanobu's position could be said to be stable.

On the other hand, Akechi Mitsuhide, the battle of Ikeda Castle made Wada Yumasa, and to a certain extent, Akechi Mitsuhide's military power was thinned. In addition, Hosokawa Fujitaka is very fashionable in military strategy, but the logistics work is good. More important is Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself, he is an adventurous general, otherwise he would not have personally sat in Katuryuji Castle, you must know that Katryuji Castle is only a small city, and it cannot be compared with Ishiyama Honganji.

The discord plan looks very clumsy, as long as you are a little sober, you can see the flaws, but the authorities are obsessed with the truth of the bystanders, and the courtiers around Ashikaga Yoshiki are not ignorant, and they are originally dissatisfied with Akechi Mitsuhide, plus they keep saying that they are not leaving the traitor, and there are too few people who say a fair word for Akechi Mitsuhide. Wise Mitsuhide saw clearly that this was the enemy's ugly discord plan, and it was also helpless, no one had to hand over the people who sent troops, and they were reluctant to give up their military power.

On August 9, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who had been arguing for a long time without any results, was furious, and under the slander of a group of "traitors", he gathered an army of 30,000 from Kyoto, and the so-called army was actually a group of people mobilized by Enryakuji Temple, and set off for Takatsuki Castle.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is a fair person, persuading Ashikaga Yoshiaki that all this may be the enemy's discord plan, don't fall for the enemy's discord plan, and do things that are quick for relatives and enemies, but Ashikaga Yoshiki asked rhetorically and asked Hosokawa Fujitaka.

Ashikaga Yoshiki has given Akechi Mitsuhide a chance to explain the misunderstanding, from the outbreak of the incident on August 7 to August 9, for two whole days, Akechi Mitsuhide did not come to the audience to clarify the misunderstanding, why he didn't come, this is the reason why Ashikaga Yoshiki had to come.

Hosokawa Fujitaka listened to Ashikaga Yoshiteru's rhetorical question, and he also had nothing to say, he and Akechi Mitsuhide were indeed friends, but he was also Ashikaga Yoshiki's retainer, and he was speechless about Ashikaga Yoshiteru's questioning, so he could only follow Ashikaga Yoshiki to Akechi Mitsuhide's camp.

Hearing the news of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's personal arrival, he didn't realize that there were 30,000 more enemies and something important, Honda Masanobu was very happy, and it was very unexpected that the development of the situation was so beneficial to his side, and said: "God help me, now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed, it depends on whether Ashikaga Yoshiki has the determination and courage to go south decisively!" ”

The beehouse Hannojo who returned to Ibaraki Castle looked worried, and said, "My lord, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is going south, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conflict with Akechi Mitsuhide, Akechi Mitsuhide doesn't know if it's an unknown prophet, or what, he put the camp between Ibaraki Castle and Takatsuki Castle. ”

Honda Masanobu shook his head and said, "Akechi Mitsuhide won't, but won't you guarantee that Ashikaga Yoshiki won't?" (To be continued.) )
