Chapter 150: Branches
A person's future path is greatly influenced by childhood. As a traverser, the path of this life is also greatly influenced by past lives. As a traverser, Zhengheng was almost isolated from the world in his childhood in this life, so he can be said to be innocent. According to this way of living, in this chaotic era, once he left the small temple where he lived in the snail, he didn't know how many times he died, even if he hid in the remote mountains, he couldn't escape the killing and conspiracy, forcing him to walk out of the mountains and into the world.
Zhengheng is alive, alive and well, and everyone who wants his life has his head cut off, obviously it can't be something that can be done by a monk who has no quarrel with the world, and his previous life has always affected his life and work, forcing him to keep looking for life.
The psychology of leaning towards the dark side developed in his previous life, he will think about the worst direction in everything first, always speculate on people's hearts from the most despicable angle, and is confident that with his own wealth and ability, no matter what obstacles lie ahead, he can cut it with a sword. Even if you can't cut it, you can try to get around.
In fact, he was often justified in doing so. He has been in a state of unease since he came to this era, even if he lives in the mountains and forests, he will think that he doesn't know when a robber will come to rob, and he is always ready to fight hard.
When he heard that Oda Nobunaga had infiltrated Kyoto, this man who had always been regarded as the greatest enemy by Masahiro, a man who had always been regarded as the greatest enemy by Masahiro, suddenly raised his vigilance, and he ignored Asai Nagamasa's request to see him, and first summoned Oda Nobunaga.
When Masahiro first saw Oda Nobunaga, he had a good impression on him, not with the rumored fierce gods, but with his unwillingness under the suppression of his momentum, which made his self-confidence rise again. He would still put Oda Nobunaga in an important position, observe him, and pay attention to him.
Oda Nobunaga's affairs, Masahiro put it in his heart, but he also didn't pay too much attention to it, he still had a lot of things to do, and there were countless people who wanted to ask to see him who needed to be summoned. He has not yet reached the time to rest, and he has very little time to rest every day.
Asai Nagamasa said goodbye without saying goodbye, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry. Zhengheng didn't plan to take advantage of people's danger, so that some people who thought they understood Zhengheng's style of acting didn't expect that he would not eat the fat under his nose.
Some people also couldn't hold back, and secretly asked the people around Zhengheng, wanting to know Zhengheng's thoughts from their mouths, but they didn't know Zhengheng's thoughts and didn't dare to speculate. Zhengheng has always remained calm, and it seems that he has a plan and a countermeasure.
The local heroes have the local heroes, the people of the world must have the style of the people of the world, many people have not completely changed their ideas, and the political balance is also being adjusted, after he first heard what Asai Hisamasa did, the first thought was that the opportunity to annex Kita-Omi had arrived. But he didn't have the impulse, and after thinking about it, he endured it. Now he wants to give people a new impression of a defender of order, not a destroyer, and will not destroy order again and again, as long as you follow the rules of the Date family, then you can get the protection of the Date family. Asai Nagamasa has just expressed his obedience, and in the blink of an eye, he will be in the city, and such a thing will greatly damage the reputation of Zhengheng. Masahiro wants to give Asai Nagamasa a chance, a chance to completely integrate into the Date family's sphere of influence.
Not only is Zhengheng trying to change his style, but he also wants to spread this style to his retainers, who will pass it on to the people below, layer by layer, to re-establish their worldview, and tell everyone that the era of chaos is coming to an end. A new era under the rule of the Date family is coming, and this is the idea of Zhengheng, and it is the idea he wants to pass on to everyone.
Of course, the fact that Zhengheng does not want to disrupt order does not mean that he has given up the idea of using force to unify the world. He now has the emperor, "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and has a title at his fingertips. As long as he does not obey his new order and insists on destroying it, he will not hesitate to use force to teach people to obey the rules.
The father and son of the Kita-Omi Asai family were killing each other, and Masahiro naturally had to pay attention, so he sent a lot of people to infiltrate Kita-Omi, and at the same time he also ordered Miyazawa Heihachi to investigate the movements of Kita-Omi nearby. The Kita-Omi Asai clan fell out and received the attention of the neighbors.
As the situation fermented, the situation between Asai Hisamasa and Nagamasa's father and son spread, which made people staggered.
This incident made Masahiro feel dumbfounded, Asai Hisamasa was able to do such a thing that relatives and enemies were happy about, he knew that once Asai Nagamasa was really abolished, Masahiro, who had just seen Asai Nagamasa, would become a joke, which made him quite unhappy.
However, Asai Hisamasa quickly failed, and he was not entirely sure whether it would be appropriate for Asai Nagamasa to retake Otani Castle. For him, what Asai Nagamasa harvested was a ruined Kita-Omi, and he was reborn only by surrendering to the Date family. It's just that behind Asai Nagamasa, there are three people planning for him, which is a factor that cannot be ignored.
Hai Chiyu's support for Asai Nagamasa is indeed a matter of concern. Zheng Heng was once again in deep thought, thinking about how to get the most out of it, first, he could not use external forces to destroy the new order he had established, and secondly, he had to reap a benefit.
Thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards the highest point of the national temple, because the national temple had already been transformed into a huge military village by him, and a huge lookout was erected in the center of the national temple, which could overlook the surrounding scenery at a glance.
He didn't climb up, glanced at the lookout, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and then ordered the attendant who followed him, "Let Hanzo come here." "He wanted to know about Kotani Castle's movements, relying on the infiltration of Heihachi Miyazawa and the spy of the intelligence department.
Hattori came in a hurry, kneeling on one knee and waiting for information.
Zhengheng walked out of the corridor and sat on the stone chair under the lookout, he looked at Hattori Masanari, and as if he didn't look again, he asked in a deep voice, "How is the movement in Kita-Omi?" ”
Hattori Masanari knew that Masahiro was asking about the attitude of the people of Kita-Omi towards the father and son of the Asai family, and he cited some of the grievances of the people of Kita-Omi, and concluded: "The antipathy towards Asai Hisamasa has reached the extreme, believing that it will bring them war disasters. ”
Zhengheng nodded slightly.
No one will like a war without any hope of victory, especially during the reign of Asai Hisasa, who was repeatedly defeated and ceded land and reparations, which naturally did not leave a good impression subtly. As soon as Asai Nagamasa came to power, he won a victory against his old enemy, Rokkaku Yoshiken, and now Asai Nagamasa went to Beijing to express his submission to the Date family in order to protect the safety of Kita-Omi, which will certainly have a much better impression of him than Asai Hisamasa in the eyes of the people of Kita-Omi Province. In particular, Asai Hisamasa still wants to provoke a war and cause war, and his disgust with him will definitely reach the extreme.
Zheng Heng sighed and said, "What is the reaction of the retainers to the long-term and long-term government? ”
Hattori moved forward, reported the results of this covert operation, and said, "Here's the problem. The reason for Asai Hisasa's abolition of the position of governor of the Nagamasa family can be said to be that he hurt a thousand people and hurt himself by eight hundred, and the family elders led by Haibei Tsunasa Ksunasa, Akao Kiyotsuna, and Yumori Kiyosada all gathered around Asai Nagamasa, and the only people who supported Asai Hisamasa in Kotani Castle were Asho Sadamasa and 500 Yamamoto Yamajo Castle. ”
Zhengheng looked suspicious and said: "Even old ministers such as Haibei Tsunade, Akao Kiyozuna, and Yumori Kiyosada have pressed the treasure on Asai Nagamasa's body, why does Ah Shuzhen Zheng stand on the opposite side of most of the retainers, and also stand on the side of Asai Hisasa." ”
Hattori Masari replied: "My lord, do you remember that in the battle between Miyazawa-sama and Yamashiro, it was this Asho Sada-sama who came out to fight with Miyazawa-sama, and was fiercely attacked by Miyazawa-sama, and suffered heavy casualties, which can be said to be fundamentally injured. ”
Zheng Heng bowed slightly, he felt a little familiar when he heard Ah Shu Zhenzheng, it turned out that it was mentioned in the battle report sent by Miyazawa Heihachi, but he mostly doesn't care much about this kind of local power now, is it because of this matter.
The service was abnormal and nodded and praised: "What the lord said is exactly what the lord said that in the battle that day, although Ah Shuzhen was defeated, it was still honorable although he was defeated, and it can be said that he was the only one in the country who dared to fight with the Date army, and he grew face in front of the people of the country of North Omi. The situation took a turn for the worse, and the conquest by force was changed to a policy of Huairou, and Ah Shuzhen became the target of the public, and in despair, Ah Shuzhen hit it off with Asai Hisasa, and led the army into Kotani Castle. However, Ah Shu Sadashi obviously does not have the courage to live and die with Asai Hisasa, and he is secretly negotiating with the elders around Asai Nagamasa. ”
Zheng Heng smiled faintly: "I see, Ah Shu Zhenzheng is really a complete villain!" He pondered for a moment, raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Is there a way to bypass Asai Nagamasa's camp and pass the news to Asai Hisamasa in the city?" ”
Hattori Masanari nodded and replied: "No matter what the relationship between Asai Hisamasa and Nagamasa is, the two are still father and son in name, and now the dispute between Kotani Castle is a civil war of the Asai family, and the retainers will not actually make a death effort, and there are still a lot of gaps." ”
Masahiro said: "Forged a letter from the Asakura family to enter Kotani Castle, the content is to support Asai Hisasa's righteous actions, so even if Asai Hisamasa still can't hold out for long, it can be regarded as cutting off Asai Nagamasa's way back." ”
Hattori Masasari responded: "Yes! He said and retreated.
Zhengheng glanced at the sky, suddenly remembered something, silently calculated the time, and muttered in a low voice: "Oda Nobunaga should be returning to Owari Province soon, right?" I'm really looking forward to whether Oda Nobunaga will still be able to stir up this muddy pond water. ”
He didn't know that after Oda Nobunaga and his party passed the pass, they were inadvertently seen through the traces and were chased and intercepted, Takigawa Ichiyi and Maeda's uncle and nephew protected the seriously injured Oda Nobunaga and fled in a hurry, and Kinoshita Toyoshiro protected Nohime and hid in the mountains and forests and did not dare to show his face.
Oda Nobunaga and his entourage were so unlucky, it was really that they met Shigeharu Takenaka, who was praised by his son as the "First Military Division of the Warring States" and "Mino Kirin", who had just been pampered by Saito Yoshiryu for a few days.
Shigeharu Takenaka limped out of Inabayama Castle with the support of his attendants, originally thinking of going to his old friend Mamoru Ando to ask for forgiveness, he understood that Mamoru Ando must be angry now, and it would be good to go and beg for mercy, and the red and swollen chrysanthemums would probably explode.
He thought about going back to Bodhi Mountain City to rest for a while, and then go to Mamoru Ando to ask for forgiveness after the chrysanthemums were swollen, of course, he had a new person as a backer, and he was not particularly afraid of the old man, otherwise he would not dare to delay the time and beg for mercy.
He was traumatized physically and mentally, if he was just a sufferer, he would not have left so many legends, he was actually a two-way plug, a weak man on the outside, and a normal man who liked women at home.
On the way back to Bodhi Mountain Castle with Doglegs, he met Oda Nobunaga and his party, and a few strong men naturally did not attract his special attention, but the graceful and graceful Nohime in the team made him look twice. Although he can't see clearly with a sarong on his face, he has a graceful figure.
In this way, the next thing is much simpler, Takenaka Shigeharu excused that the few people in front of him were spies of the Oda family in Owari Province, and he had to be immediately arrested and interrogated.
Shigeharu Takenaka hit the right one, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was really a member of the Oda family in Owari Province, or the family governor of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga and his party, where did he still care about women's affairs, chasing Oda Nobunaga and slashing fiercely. At the same time, he also reported that Saito Yoshiryu and Ando Mamoru were on good terms, and Minokoku immediately asked for it.
Takigawa Kazuyi and Maeda protected Oda Nobunaga from hiding in Tibet, Kinoshita Toyoshiro and Nohime hid in the mountains and forests, and their group saw that the road was full of searching patrolmen, and they did not dare to show their heads or walk around, for fear of falling into a heavy siege.
In the broken temple in the mountains, the unkempt Nohime knelt in front of a cleaned altar, looked at Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro sitting on the edge of the door, and said, "Fujiyoshiro, how is the situation?" ”
Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro didn't dare to slack off, and immediately knelt down and said: "Master, the situation is very bad, there are patrols everywhere, I'm afraid that I will soon search here, while it is not yet dark, walk a few more steps, and wait for the mountains in front of me to be Omi Province." ”
Nonghime pondered for a moment and said, "Really? Mino Province can't go.,Only by returning to Omi Province.,Get the support of Lord Date to be able to return to Owari Province.,I just don't know what happened to my husband.,At that time, he was stabbed? ”
Kinoshita Tojiro lowered his head and said without doubt: "The hall master, Lord will definitely be safe." ”
Nohime sighed lightly and said, "Hopefully, let's go, and we'll be safe when we get to Omi." With that, he stood up, and under the leadership of Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, he left the broken temple in the mountains and walked towards the unknown mountain forest. (To be continued.) )
