Wasuka Masakatsu was not originally a believer in Honganji, but he only came out to venture out because he valued Honda Masanobu's talent and the righteousness of his buddies, but he didn't expect to become a hero in a short period of time, which made him admire Honda Masanobu.

Wasuka Masatsu admires Honda Masanobu, and he really looks down on the Honganji Temple, who is not high or low, and does not act recklessly, if it weren't for Honda Masatin thinking about him everywhere, I'm afraid he would have died so long ago that only bones remained, and he had become a lonely ghost.

Wasuka Masakatsu then had the action of cutting his throat, signaling Honda Masanobu to dispose of this scourge before leaving Kinai for Hokuriku, whether to deal with this scourge first, and burning Mt. Hiei and the death of the emperor and the shogun No matter what grievances there are, the culprit in the eyes of the people of the world is Honganji Xianru, Honganji Xianru does not stand up to apologize who stands up, is it them.

Honda Masanbu is a devout believer of Honganji, and he believes in Honganji, but he does not believe in Honganji Manifest. The two should be told separately, and he is more likely to make Honganji appear as a signboard, which means that the Honganji Order generally regards him as a marionette.

The marionette can't do things beyond the fingers of the matchmaker, the burning of Mt. Hiei and the death of the emperor and the shogun, he, like Wasuka Masakatsu, thinks that these things are beyond the scope of tolerance, but the puppet with a broken string is still useful.

Honda Masanobu stopped Wasuka Masakatsu's behavior, he turned around, his face was still holding a Zhizhu look, he arched his hand and said: "Emperor, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and the rebellion of Ishiyama Honganji Temple is beyond our imagination. ”

Honganji Xianru was originally quite calm, even if there was a fire to Mt. Hiei, and the successive deaths of the emperor and the shogun, it did not make him completely lose his mind, but now the Ishiyama Honganji incident completely caught him off guard. Caught in a desperate situation.

Honganji is desperate, and he wants to return to Ishiyama Honganji in order to regain the initiative on the battlefield, but he has come to Honda Masanobu to hear his opinion, and has not yet discussed. I heard the most horrific news, and Ishiyama Honganji Temple also fell.

At the same time, Honganji appears to be desperate, Honda Masanobu and Wasuka Masakatsu talk unscrupulously in front of him about the defeat being decided, choosing a way out, fleeing to Hokuriku, and treating him as if he were nothing, which greatly traumatizes his self-esteem.

Honganji Xianru wants to question Honda Masanobu and wants to question Wasuka Masakatsu. In their eyes, he sees himself as something, but he has no plan, and if Masanobu Honda and Masakatsu Wasuka ask him what to do next, he doesn't know how to answer?

Honda Masanobu knew that Honganji Xianru hated him very much now, as if he was hating him, and deceived Honganji Xianru out of Ishiyama Honganji, which made him lose control of Ishiyama Honganji. You can see everything in the eyes of the other person. As if he hadn't seen it, he replied with one sentence: "The Emperor." The current situation is extremely unfavorable for us, and four or five hundred thousand people have poured into the mountain city, and the original number in the mountain city is probably as high as 600,000 people. ”

Honganji Xianru heard that he still had a population of four or five hundred thousand, and he was able to rely on the numerical advantage to overwhelm Date Kamiraku's army and recapture Ishiyama Honganji. Just as he was about to speak, Honda Masanobu's vicious words rang in his ears again: "There are more people who resent you now than those who support you. ”

Honganji appeared to fall silent, he still had a breath of reason, Honda Masanobu was right, and now there are many believers gathered in Yamashiro Province. But I don't know how many of them complained about him, thinking that he had turned a good hand into a bad hand.

Honda Masa's deep voice said: "Your Holiness, the current situation is so similar to that of the Lotus Master back then, it is difficult to be lenient and correct, and the Enryakuji Temple of Mt. Hiei forced the Lotus to no longer develop in and had to go far away from Hokuriku, and was warmly welcomed by Hokuriku, and the believers of Hokuriku began to grow explosively. In a very short period of time, the Lotus people achieved great success, and even the government of Kaga Province was seized by the leaders of various local officials, and Kaga Province became a country of the people. The Venerable Lotus returned to in glory and established a series of monasteries, although there were tribulations and twists and turns, and won the praise of the people of the world again. As a descendant of Renru, you naturally have his glory in you, and you go to Yoshizaki Gobo to hibernate again, waiting for your chance to take revenge. ”

Honganji appears to be enlightened.

Honda Masanobu knew that Honganji had already moved, so he withdrew. After Wasuka Masakatsu caught up, when he arrived outside the city, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Yahachiro, do you really want to leave with him?" He is not a Lianru person, and the current Hokuriku is not the Hokuriku of the past. ”

Honda Masanobu sneered: "There is always a need for someone to carry the black pot, otherwise Date Masaki will let us go so easily, even if he knows that we will definitely disturb the situation in Hokuriku if I go to Hokuriku, if I bring him, I will chase after him." ”

Wasuka Masakatsu asked without thinking, "Why bother with tongues?" ”

Honda Masanobu replied: "Give him a little hope, when his hope is shattered, he will be completely desperate, what a completely desperate person will do, it's terrible to think about, where will Date Mashiro have time to chase us when the time comes." But if he is too easy to win the world, he is really unwilling. ”

Wasuka Masakatsu also nodded, how could he be willing, he fought in various places in Kinai, struggled for so long, and finally had to withdraw from Kinai, and he had not fought a battle, which made him feel that his self-esteem was humiliated.

Honda Masashi said: "Since we are leaving, then we will take the most elite, Zhengsheng, and you must firmly control the 20,000 legions in your hands." There are also rumors that Date Masaki will invade Kyoto in the near future, avenge the lives of the people up and down Mt. Hiei, as well as the emperor and shogun, and slaughter all the Honganji worshippers in Kyoto. ”

Spreading rumors that all the Honganji believers in Kyoto will be slaughtered, and then put in Kyoto, is to avenge the burning of the monks and people who were killed on Mt. Hiei, this rumor will be broken as soon as it is poked, and those who know the current situation will not believe it, you must know that the number of Honganji believers gathered in Kyoto is as high as three or four hundred thousand, and the total number of people scattered in Yamashiro Province has reached four or five hundred thousand. But the three of them became tigers, and the word of mouth passed on them, and they didn't believe it. I also became believing. At the same time, there is still a lot of black history of the Date family, and the Kyoto view that Honda Masanobu has placed is still vivid in his mind, and he is shocked in his heart, but it is rumored that this Kyoto view came from the Date family, and the Date family put a Kyoto view every time he slaughtered a city. In addition, in order to resist Date Mashiro's attack, Honganji Temple has hacked Date Mashiro very much internally.

Faith is good. It is better to believe it than to be suspicious or not to believe.

Honda Masanobu just wanted to confuse this trip so that he could break through and go to Hokuriku to gain a chance of survival. At the same time, if he wanted to go to Hokuriku, he needed some necessary military rations, but fortunately, he rescued a lot of food from the fire at Enryakuji Temple in Mt. Hiei, which was enough to meet the needs of forty or fifty thousand people for half a year.

At the same time, the fact that there is no food for the plague they have suffered does not mean that there is no food in the places they are passing through, and it is now September. When the autumn harvest season comes, it doesn't matter if you help the local lords harvest grain along the way, rob the rich and help the poor.

Soon there were 50,000 people who were willing to leave with us, among whom Wasuka Masakatsu brought out a full 20,000 experienced elite men, none of whom were fools, and under the alarmism of Honda Masanobu, they all thought that they could only survive by going to Hokuriku.

The actions of Honda Masanobu and Wasuka Masakatsu concealed Honganji Enlightenment, and Honganji Enlightenment, who lived in the Imperial Palace, the only intact building in the ruins of Heiankyo, was unaware that his subordinates had all turned their backs on him. Even the Miyake Asamito, who has recently become popular, is gone.

Masanobu Honda and Masakatsu Wasuka were already ready, but when it was time to set off. Honda Masanobu and Wasuka Masakatsu had a disagreement, not that their conflict broke out, but that Honda Masanobu was really unwilling, and he wanted to meet Date Masaki.

Date Masahiro would believe Honda Masanobu and give him a chance to meet, while Masakatsu Wasuka was also worried. Honda Masanobu is gone, and he can't take the army under his command with him, and I'm afraid that as long as the news of Honda Masanobu's arrest comes, he will have to mutiny.

Honda Masanobu was also aware of this, but he insisted on it. Wasuka Masakatsu stopped his insistence and made sense. "Even if he doesn't arrest you, he will immediately guess our decision, and don't make any more troubles." ”

Honda Masanobu shook his head and said, "The purpose of my appointment with him is not to have anything extraneous happening. Although I am full of confidence to say to everyone, we can overcome many obstacles and can make a new place in Hokuriku. But you and I know that there are too many variables, and you must know that the road to Echizen is not easy, and once Echizen's Asakura blocks Kanesaki Castle and the Asai of Kita-Omi strikes from behind, I am afraid that I will die without a place to bury. I'm afraid that only he can save us? ”

Wasuka Masakatsu listened to Honda Masanobu's analysis and replied, "But will he help us?" ”

Honda Masanobu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but how can I know if I don't try, you must know that he still has to deal with various forces such as Akechi Mitsuhide, Hatakeyama Takamasa, Wada Yumasa, Suzuki Shigei, etc., and one less hostile force is beneficial to everyone." ”

Wasuka Masakatsu thought about it and felt that Honda Masanobu's words were not unreasonable, but he still advised him to be more careful, if he didn't have to be in command, he would want to accompany Honda Masanobu to the appointment.

Settsu Province has not yet completely straightened out the order, there are many mountains and forests at the border where Settsu Province can enter, and as long as they are not dressed properly, there will generally be no patrolmen to ask them, of course, there are still many rioters in the wilderness of Settsu Country.

Honda Masanobu didn't want to die before he left the army and kill the rebels in the wilderness, so he took more than 30 people to break into Settsu Province disguised as homeless people, but two teams of patrolmen came up to inquire, but they came to inquire about not to wander around, and left after telling them where the settlement was.

Honda Masanobu and his party soon arrived at the base camp of Date Kamiroku's army, Ishiyama Honganji, and this building, which had completely fallen into Date Masaki, became his current temporary base camp, and processed the information from various places in order to give the most accurate answer.

It was impossible for Honda Masanobu to report his home to let everyone know that he was coming, but he still walked into Ishiyama Honganji Temple in a grand manner, and he reported to the knight who blocked his way that he was the messenger of Wada Yumasa, and asked to meet Date Masahiro in person, and asked to see him on important matters.

The bizarre departure of Akechi Mitsuhide and Wada Yumasa, Honda Masanobu spied some tricks from it, Akechi Mitsuhide may really have to leave after breaking with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Wada Yumasa's departure has a deep meaning.

According to the principle of who benefits and who is the mastermind, Wada Yumasa's sudden abandonment, it seems that the Honganji Temple is the one who gets the greatest benefit, and it is because of this that Honganji blindly thinks that this is the best time for Shangluo, and Honda Masanobu at that time did not see through the essence of it.

However, as the situation changed, it was the abandonment of Wada Yumasa and the complete collapse of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Honganji seemed to have won, but Date Masahiro, who had been waiting for an opportunity, finally showed his sharp minions and tore the foundation of Honganji.

It was Yamanaka Kanosuke who stopped Honda Masanobu, who had known a few words from Kuroda's official guards, but he did not overstep them, but led them to Miyahara Masashige's office. Miyahara is re-enacting as a diplomatic officer, and the work during this time is very busy, and there are countless people who want to meet Date Masahiro, most of them are relatives of wealthy families who have lost their territory, and they seem to have suddenly appeared and pointed to a wasteland and said that they were the original masters.

If you don't have a contract, you don't have the right to speak.,Even if there's a contract, you can't register the lost land until the end of the war in Kinai.,Anyway, Date Masato's instructions are that whoever lays down is whoever.,If you want to cut the meat of the Date family.,Is it a knife or a neck.。

Miyahara Masashige had just ordered someone to drag away an old man who was crying bitterly, when he saw Yamanaka Kanosuke come in with a stranger, and after inquiry, he learned that it was the messenger of Wada Yumasa, he knew the details, but he did not doubt the identity of Honda Masanobu.

As usual, Honda Masanobu still went through some investigation, but fortunately, Hattori Masasari, who knew him in the Date Kamirakun army, happened to be absent, and he was ordered to go to Mt. Hiei to investigate the true cause of death of the emperor and the shogun, and of course there was a secret mission to keep them silent forever if the emperor and shogun were still alive.

Even Date Masahiro did not doubt that it was Wada Yumasa's messenger who came, and after several inquiries, Honda Masanobu finally got his wish and entered the Ishiyama Imperial Hall, which he was once very familiar with, and saw Date Masahiro who was meditating in Zen. (To be continued.) )
