Chapter 239: The pacification of the Three Rivers is in progress
Suruga, Sunpu Castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Imagawa Shin is still diligent in handling various government affairs, it has been 3 years since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, in the past three years, relying on the help of Shou Guini, Uden Nagasho and others, Imagawa Shin led the Imagawa family to gradually get out of the declining situation. Although it still can't be compared to the Imagawa family in the Imagawa Yoshigen era, the Imagawa clan really believes that as long as he is given enough time, then the Imagawa family will still become the giants of Tokaido!
At this moment, a ninja suddenly appeared in front of Imagawa Shin and respectfully handed over a letter. Imagawa really glanced at the long photo of the pelican hall, and the long photo of the pelican hall hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it. It's just that as soon as he saw the second line, the pelican hall Changzhao stood up all of a sudden.
"Changzhao, why are you so alarmed?" Imagawa asked casually.
"My lord! It was Mikawa's news that in September, Sora Okushi and others gathered more than 40,000 troops to besiege Okazaki Castle, but they were defeated by Oda Yoshinobu who came to help in a night attack, and since then they have been in the temple and have not dared to go out. The pelican hall said with an angry face.
"What?!" Imagawa Shin suddenly stood up when he heard this, walked to the side of Pelican Hall Nagazhao and snatched the letter over, half a ring, after reading it, Imagawa Shin really tore the letter to shreds, "Waste! It's all rubbish! An empty oath is waste! Tadashi Sakai is also a waste! ”
Imagawa roared angrily, obviously unable to accept such a fact. You must know that it is a very important move for him to make Mikawa's side fall back into chaos, and only if this move is successful, he can fight against Takeda with peace of mind.
Yes, the Takeda family, the Imagawa clan has been an extremely headache in the past two years. It's also interesting to say, he obviously knows that Takeda Shingen is fighting the Imagawa family's idea, but he just can't talk to another ally, Hojo Shiyasu. You must know that although he knew, the news was secretly conveyed to him by Takeda Yoshinobu.
Regardless of the intelligence source, Hojo Shiyasu will definitely not easily believe his words and take actions to destroy the alliance. And when it comes to the source of information, Hojo Shiyasu may not believe his words, because at this time, the Hojo family and the Takeda family are in a honeymoon period because they are united against the Uesugi family. On the one hand, the Imagawa family, which has lost power, and on the other hand, the powerful Takeda family, if the Hojo family not only does not help, but also wants a piece of the pie, then what will the Imagawa clan really do?
Maybe the Hojo family and the Takeda family will have a conflict over the distribution of territories at that time, but the Imagawa family must have perished by then.
Therefore, he must keep Mikawa in chaos, so that once Takeda comes to attack, it doesn't matter which side the Hojo family will be on, at least the Imagawa clan really doesn't have to worry about the enemy attacking from Mikawa's side.
But now, he conspired for a long time and contacted many forces before it finally took shape, and the one that swept the entire Three Rivers was broken so simply? Although it has not been pacified, no matter how you look at it, if those monks have been cowering in the temple, what reason is there for Matsudaira Ieyasu not to put down the rebellion?
Seeing the Imagawa clan's true expression, the Uden Nagatsu asked softly on the side, "My lord, do you want to ...... the family?" but before he finished speaking, he was denied by himself, "No, if the main family also sends troops, it is very likely that the Oda family will also divide troops to support Mikawa." At that time, if the Oda family cannot defeat the Oda family immediately, the Takeda family will definitely take the opportunity to attack Suruga. ”
Then, he muttered again, "Why don't you contact the Uesugi family?" Not at all! If it is exposed, the Takeda family and the Hojo family will definitely send troops directly to attack Suruga......"
Uden Nagasho kept muttering, as if he was a little out of order, and on the other side, Imagawa's real expression was not much better. He looked confused, as if he didn't know what to do at all. After a long time, he muttered hatefully, "Troubled times...... That's it......"
Mikawa, Honshoji Temple.
Honda Masanobu walked up and down the courtyard outside the empty oath room with an impatient expression, his eyes looking at the closed sliding door from time to time. He got very urgent information today, so he left everything and hurried over, but the two monks who were guarding the door said that they were performing a ritual in the room to pay tribute to the dead believers.
It's just that...... Listening to the constant moaning and all kinds of obscenities that came into his ears, Honda Masanobu suddenly felt that it was wrong for him to choose the Tsuyozong. The reason why he betrayed the Matsudaira family and joined the Ichijo sect was because he was indeed a believer in the Ichitsune sect, and on the other hand, he also hoped that he could become a true samurai and create a family belonging to his Honda Masanobu.
And now it seems that he has made a wrong choice, although the power of the Sect is very large, but it is just a bunch of mud that can't support the wall. It's like this empty oath master, who obviously has the power to mobilize tens of thousands of believers at any time, but he sits in the temple every day to drink, eat meat and play with women. Belch...... Well, it's a ritual to honor the dead.
"Is my future to wander around in the name of betrayal?" Honda thought a little dejected in his faith. At this moment, all kinds of voices inside suddenly disappeared. Seeing this, Honda Masanobu immediately asked the monk in front of the door to help him report quickly. Half a sound later, the lazy voice of the empty oath came from inside the room, "It's the right faith...... Come in......"
When he walked into the room, he saw that the empty oath was sitting in the top position, and on both sides of him, several men and women were sitting there respectfully, as if they were really believers who cooperated with the empty oath, and it seemed that this situation was no different from before. However, if you look closely, you can see that each of these men and women is flushed, and their breathing is not very smooth, and it is obvious that they have just finished some intense exercise.
"Ahem...... Faithful, what is there that is so anxious to see me? The empty oath coughed dryly twice, sounding a little embarrassed. Uh, I can't see that Master Empty Oath is still cultivating at home.
"Master of the Air Oath, I have received information that Matsudaira Ieyasu has decided to divide his forces to attack our forces." Honda said respectfully.
"What?! Are you sure? Who's going to attack the temple?! And what about the troops led by Yoshinobu Oda? When he heard this, he jumped up directly, and walked to Honda Masanobu with an anxious face and asked.
"This ...... Lord Empty Oath, this temple is not within the range of the enemy's attack. Honda Masanobu said in some surprise when he heard this, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an empty oath.
"What about Yoshinobu Oda? Where are Yoshinobu Oda's troops? And where is he himself?! Empty Oath asked anxiously.
"According to the inquiry, Oda Yoshinobu divided his troops into four routes and marched in the direction of Higashimikawa, specifically heading to ......" Honda Masanobu was halfway through his words, and was interrupted again by an empty oath, "What about Oda Yoshinobu?!" Where are the others?! ”
"It should still be in Okazaki!"
"That's good...... That's good......" Hearing Honda Masanobu's words, the empty oath seemed to be completely relaxed, and looked at Honda Masanobu with a relaxed expression and smiled, "Masanobu, good job, but in the future, unless Matsudaira Ieyasu's bastard or Oda Yoshinobu plans to attack the temple, otherwise don't bother me~" Saying that, the empty oath planned to leave directly.
It's just that as soon as he opened his legs, he was stopped by Honda Masanobu. "Master of the Empty Oath! Now is the best chance for the army to fight back! As long as we take advantage of the enemy's division of forces and lead the believers to attack Okazaki Castle directly......"
"Shut up!" Sora Oath looked at Honda Masanobu with a gloomy face, and once again planned Honda Masanobu's words. "Masanobu, don't you know that Oda Yoshinobu is the incarnation of Asura? You still want to attack Okazaki Castle? Even if I stay in the temple, what if Oda Yoshinobu himself leads people to attack the temple?! ”
Faced with the questioning of the empty oath, Honda Masanobu was directly dumbfounded, he couldn't have imagined that the empty oath was so afraid of Oda Yoshinobu, "But...... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......" Honda muttered to himself, clearly not wanting to pass up this opportunity. He believed that as long as he swore to listen to him, then even if he couldn't directly eliminate the Matsudaira family, he would be able to turn the situation around Mikawa again and let the Matsudaira family return to the weaker side.
It's just that after hearing Honda Masanobu's words, Sora Oath squatted down directly, "Honda Masanobu, this is indeed a good opportunity, a good opportunity for you, and a good opportunity for Matsudaira Ieyasu and them...... "Sora Oath said in a gloomy whisper.
Hearing this, where does Honda Masanobu still not know what's going on? Hurriedly bowed to the ground and explained, "Master! There is absolutely no secret contact with the Matsudaira family! Please Master Mingjian! ...... time since "
Honda Masanobu continued to explain, and Sora Oath looked at him with a gloomy expression. According to his habit, no matter whether Honda Masanobu colluded with the Matsudaira family or not, as long as there is doubt, then he will be killed directly. But for Honda Masanobu, the empty oath is really reluctant. Because during this period of time, the city defense of this temple was handled by Honda Masanobu, and I have to say that it is much stronger than his subordinates.
After a long silence, the empty oath said slowly, "Zhengxin, I must believe in you...... In this way, you are also tired during this time, you two, you will be the deputy of Zhengxin in the future. ”
"Master of the Empty Oath?!" Honda Masashi raised his head in shock when he heard this, how could he not understand the true purpose of the empty oath?
"Let's go down......" Empty Oath waved his hand, and then left the room directly, not giving Honda Masanobu a chance to speak again.
At night, Honda Masanobu looked at the two monks who were still guarding the door, but he had already made a decision in his heart. "The empty oath is no longer worth following, and in its present form, it is bound to fail. So, let's go to......"
When he was ugly, Honda Masanobu secretly climbed out of the window while the two guarding monks were asleep, and then disappeared. When he learned of it the next day, he was furious, and at the same time ordered someone to strengthen the defense of the temple again, and moved to another room. Obviously, he thought that Honda Masanobu must have thrown himself to Matsudaira Ieyasu's side when he escaped this time, so he didn't dare to leave.
This was already the case on the side of the empty oath, and the other three temples that had been following the operation of the temple were even more afraid to act, and in this case, the troops sent out by the Matsudaira family began to attack the enemy castles everywhere with peace of mind.
On the other side, Keiji Maeda and others also led the army to the target castle.
"Zhongsheng, how do you think you should fight?"
"It's all up to the master!"
"Call me Maeda-sama!"
"Yes!"
"Hmm...... Very well, then the whole army will follow me and take Ina Castle! With that, he led his troops directly to Ina City.
That's all of Keiji Maeda's strategy...... Tsk, I wonder if Oda Yoshinobu would cry if he knew?
"Lord Shiraki, Tashiro Castle is ahead." Kamiizumi Hidemoto said respectfully.
"Hmm......" After Shiraki Yuki's answer for a long time, he watched Tashiro Castle fall into silence, and when Hidemoto Kamiizumi saw this, he also learned to watch Tashiro Castle enter a state of silence.
After a long time, Shiraki Yukihisa said in a deep voice, "Xiuyuan, you lead the troops to attack from the main gate, and I will lead the Death God Crowd to cooperate with Ashigaru to attack the city wall!" ”
"Yes!"
Well...... It seems that Shiraki Xingjiu still talks about some strategies~ At least he knows how to attack from two places.
…… Wait a minute! This kid is a general! How did he personally lead an army to attack the city wall?! And Hidemoto Kamiizumi hasn't felt anything wrong yet?!
Ichinomiya Castle.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Under the cover of iron cannons, the Oda army was constantly storming the city gates. After it lasted like this for three quarters of an hour, suddenly there was a shout of killing from the rear of Ichinomiya Castle, but it was Sakakiwara Yasumasa who led the Oda army to attack without knowing when to detour to the rear of Ichinomiya Castle.
Before the defenders of Ichinomiya Castle, who had been completely attracted by the left side of the island, had not had time to react, Sakakihara Yasumasa had already led his army over the city walls.
"Excellent! Step up the offense! Shimazo shouted loudly, and then raised his spear and rushed towards Ichimiyagi.
On the other side of Kameyama City, there was no shadow of war at all, and Ichinomiya Castle Lord Ichinomiya Shimao respectfully invited Fernande to the first place, and said with a flattering smile, "Fei...... Belch...... Lord Dias, what you just promised......"
"Don't worry, what I promised you, there is absolutely no problem. This time, both the lord and Matsudaira-sama have already said that as long as you are willing to submit, then they will definitely not be to blame! Fernand looked at Ichinomiya Shimao and said in a deep voice.
"In that case, thank you, Lord Dias." Ichinomiya Shimao said respectfully.
After Ichinomiya Shimao left, Marume Nagae on the side suddenly said with a disdainful face, "Phew! Coward! ”
"Hehe, Changhui, isn't that good? Without fighting, the enemy surrendered directly. Fernand chuckled. Hawkers, to be honest, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, when he came with his troops, he just wanted to try to persuade him to surrender, but Ichinomiya Shimao was really shaken.
"It's good, it's just ......" Marumme Nagae heard this, and immediately scratched his head.
"There's just no fight to fight, right?" Emilio muttered while eating the rice balls, speaking of which, this kid is at least two laps fatter than before, is the food too good?
