As soon as Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that Matsunaga Hide's intention to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, he gathered all his subordinates to discuss how the Tokugawa family should act after this matter. And the final result is that once Matsunaga hides succeed, they will attack the Oda family as soon as possible.

The Oda family helped the Tokugawa family defeat the Imagawa family and the Takeda family before, and this is indeed true. But the Oda family is not a charity report, so the Tokugawa family has only been living in Mikawa Province until now.

Both Toe and Suruga were in the hands of the Oda family, which was completely different from the Tokugawa family in history. And in Enoe and Suruga provinces, the chief general of the Oda family is Takigawa Kazuyi, one of the four heavenly kings of the Oda family in history.

The current Tokugawa family has made up their minds, once Matsunaga Shu gets rid of Oda Nobunaga, then he will also exist independently of the Oda family for the first time, and at the same time, he will attack Takigawa Kazuyi's army and quickly expand his power outward.

For Tokugawa Ieyasu, he is still an ambitious old turtle in history, he hopes that he can get a chance to win the world, but he has always been oppressed by the Oda family, so he still has a lot of resentment towards the Oda family in his heart.

In addition, his eldest son, Matsudaira Nobuyasu, was reported by Wude for fornicating with the Takeda family and was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to be beheaded because he had not verified it at all, and Oda Nobunaga did not do it very kindly.

Matsudaira Nobuyasu is the eldest son born to Tokugawa Ieyasu and Masamoto Tsukuyamaden, his wife is Oda Nobunaga's second daughter Gotoku, and Tsukuyamaden is the adopted daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto who was killed by the Oda family, and he hates the Oda family to the core, and now there are women from the Oda family who want to compete with him for a son, is this worth it?

So the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Zhushan Hall and Wude can be imagined, and it is definitely like fire and water. The more mainstream view of what happened after that is that Gotoku wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga in private, saying that his husband and mother-in-law wanted to rebel against the Oda family and throw themselves into the Takeda family, and finally in order to appease Oda Nobunaga's anger, Tokugawa Ieyasu was forced to kill his wife and eldest son. (There is also a theory that the father and son fought for power for a long time, and Tokugawa Ieyasu killed Matsudaira Nobuyasu and finally threw the pot to his brother Koyoshi-sama.) ）

This made Tokugawa Ieyasu's resentment towards Oda Nobunaga and the Oda family even deeper, although on the surface, he and Oda Nobunaga still maintained the relationship between Yoshiboshi and Takechiyo's younger brother, but in fact, he was completely out of touch with the Oda family in his heart.

Tokugawa Ieyasu knows very well that under the current situation, the only thing in the world that can compete with the Kuroda family is the Oda family, which is an indisputable fact. The other daimyo basically combined have the strength to fight the Kuroda family, and that is purely the strength on paper. It's strange that these daimyos, each with their own ghosts, can unite intimately against the Kuroda family.

If the Oda family collapsed because of the rebellion of Matsunaga Shu this time and was unable to resist the pressure of the Kuroda family, then his Tokugawa family will also face the pressure of the Kuroda family alone in the near future. Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that if he really wanted to fight for the world, he had to withstand the attack of the Kuroda family.

Speaking of which, in the end, it is necessary to strengthen his own strength, so Tokugawa Ieyasu will choose to attack Takigawa Kazuki's army, only in this way can he quickly get the fertile land of Toe and Suruga, get some of the Oda family's elite soldiers, and a large number of capable samurai in the two countries into his command, only in this way can he hope to compete with the Kuroda family.

As for the other people like the Oda family, such as Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, Takigawa Kazuyi and others, they didn't know this information at all, it was not that they didn't pay attention to the collection of intelligence, but they couldn't get this information with their ability, so they were kept in the dark until the end.

When Matsunaga showed his troops and came to the border between Izumi Province and Yamashiro Province, in fact, his army of 15,000 people had already arrived at the border of the two countries and hid in a secret place.

At the same time, the 7,000-strong army of Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka in the north of Wakasa Province had also been assembled, and they were also very hidden in a valley near Yamashiro Province, waiting to set off for Yamashiro Province at any time.

That night, two armies totaling 28,000 men marched from two directions toward Kyoto in the middle of Yamashiro Province, and the goal of the two teams was very clear: Honnoji Temple in Kyoto.

While the two armies were heading towards Kyoto, a banquet was going on in the Honnoji Temple, and Oda Nobunaga was feasting on some wealthy merchants near Kyoto, who had already hosted a banquet for all the ministers of Kyoto.

And around Honnoji Temple, there are 500 elite soldiers of the Oda family's guard force, because there are other forces around it, so even if there are only these horses around, Oda Nobunaga is not worried about his safety.

In the evening, when Matsunaga Shu came to the outskirts of Honnoji Temple, he shouted, "Enemy Honnoji Temple." After that, his army of 15,000 men took the lead in attacking the temple and surrounded the temple.

"The main hall is not good, there are enemies outside attacking the Honnoji Temple." Moriranmaru shouted.

At this time, the banquet was actually still going on, and Oda Nobunaga was sitting with many wealthy merchants, drinking and talking. After hearing the news, Oda Nobunaga stood up directly, and those big merchants hid in the corner of the main hall in fear.

"Ranmaru, are you not mistaken? This is Kyoto, but our Oda family's territory, how can there be an enemy attacking? Oda Nobunaga said.

"Outside the banner is Matsunaga-sama's army, and they are indeed attacking us."

"Matsunaga Show! I thought he was honestly coming to die, but I didn't expect him to be unwilling in the end! Oda Nobunaga said.

"Lord, how are we to act?"

"How many people have gathered from outside?"

"Because the situation is sudden, only three hundred people have entered the temple, and the gate of the Instinct Temple has been closed, counting these three hundred people, more than one hundred and twenty people on our side, and more than fifty monks and soldiers who presided over the organization of Master Yuanxin, the current number is less than five hundred." Senranmaru said.

"Five hundred, can you break through?" Oda Nobunaga asked.
