After the Great Shogun of Eiroku, Oda Nobunaga of Owari survived the Great War of Life and Death, and Oda Nobunaga relied on Date Masaki to move frequently, often invading the Mikawa Province region.

Because Imagawa Yoshimoto and Takeda Harunobu continued to be filthy in the battle of the Eastward Advance, although they have not completely parted ways, the relationship between the two has become strangers, but fortunately, Takeda Harunobu has to rely on Imagawa Yoshimoto to protect the safety of his flanks.

In this context, Imagawa Yoshimoto was unable to counter Oda Nobunaga's frequent provocations, and many people in Mikawa Province abandoned Imagawa Yoshimoto and joined Oda Nobunaga, of course, more importantly, Matsudaira Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga showed signs of convergence.

Matsudaira Ieyasu stole the foundation of his uncle Mizuno Nobumoto and used the Ida Peninsula near the border of Owari and Mikawa as a base, and now sees Imagawa Yoshimoto lose his armor and turn his back on Imagawa Yoshimoto in favor of Oda Nobunaga. His betrayal indirectly led to a wave of defection from the people of the Three Rivers Kingdom.

In order to entrap Matsudaira Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga even promised to marry his young second daughter Tokuki to Matsudaira Ieyasu's sister-in-law, Takechiyo.

The country of Mikawa has people who have surrendered to the country, and naturally there are people who are loyal to Imagawa Yoshimoto, but Nagashino Castle, where Yingnuma Manao is located, is obviously not among them. The so-called Sanfang of the Mountain Family refers to the Camp Marsh clan in the north, the Camp Marsh clan in the south, and the Ao Ping clan in the south. In order to survive the intricate and chaotic times, the three forces have been united for several generations, so they act in unison.

Originally, the tripartite members of the mountain family intended to take refuge in Oda Nobunaga, who had a strong backer, after the battle of the border line of Owari and Mikawa, who knew that Oda Nobunaga also suffered heavy losses, except for Matsudaira Ieyasu, who had the intention of having a concubine with Lang, there was no intention of entering Mikawa country.

After recuperating for more than a year, Oda Nobunaga only recovered a little and entered the Mikawa country again, but within this year, Matsudaira Ieyasu had already extended a hand to the mountain family, but the mountain family was obviously not interested in Matsudaira Ieyasu's courtship.

Matsudaira Ieyasu originally relied on a large group of outstanding retainers in Mikawa left by his father, as well as the fame he left behind, and in the eyes of many people, Matsudaira Ieyasu had the demeanor of his ancestors. Now, on the one hand, he has experienced the Honganji Incident, and the retainers left to him by his father and ancestor have suffered heavy losses, and on the other hand, the act of stealing Mizuno Nobumoto is really despicable and dirty, and it can be said that the reputation left by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu and Hirotada for two generations has been lost.

What's more, the combined strength of the three parties of the mountain family is no worse than that of Matsudaira Ieyasu, and Oda Nobunaga has to think twice about pulling them together, which bird is Matsudaira Ieyasu, so the relationship between the three parties of the mountain family and Matsudaira Ieyasu can be imagined.

When Oda Nobunaga finally had the idea of re-entering the Mikawa country, Matsudaira Ieyasu appealed for his own interests, and he was naturally unwilling to let the people of the mountain family come to Oda Nobunaga, Matsudaira Ieyasu was also a man with great ambitions.

The tripartite people of the mountain family as a whole will completely change the situation in Mikawa Country and change Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards Matsudaira Ieyasu.

Seeing that the three parties of the mountain family were getting closer and closer to Oda Nobunaga's arms, they secretly sent people to attack the mission of the Okuhira clan, beheading Senchiyo, the second son of Okuhira Zhenno, and deliberately left an object pointing to Oda Nobunaga.

In this way, Okuhira Zhenneng was extremely sad and angry, and he held back his anger to meet the messenger sent by Oda Nobunaga, who was also a villain, and saw Okuhira Zhenneng's attitude, and accepted a bribe from Matsudaira Ieyasu, adding fuel and vinegar to the nonsense.

Oda Nobunaga endured for two years, and when he was met with the wisdom of Mitsuhide, who had been mobilized by Date Masatoshi to mobilize the men and horses of the North and South Omi and Sawa Yamashiro to defeat Ise Province, he knew that the time had finally come for him to unify Mikawa Province. In the final analysis, Oda Nobunaga still didn't want to believe Date Masahiro's promise, and when the men and horses in crisis of his old nest were transferred to Ise Province, he gathered people to go to crusade against the three members of the mountain family who had been against him, and made an example of the monkeys, forcing the remaining people of Mikawa to take refuge in him.

In addition, the two prefectures of the foundation of the Yamaya tripartite clan are adjacent to Shinano Province, so the Yamake tripartite clan is incorporated into the Oda Nobunaga system, and it is also possible to monitor the movements of Uesugi and Takeda in the direction of Shinano Province and take action in advance for subsequent military operations.

A war caused by a misunderstanding, when Akechi Mitsuhide entered the strange road, Oda Nobunaga led 13,000 men to step into the border of Mikawa Province, and 3,500 men led by Matsudaira Ieyasu waited there, and the two armies merged together, marching mightily towards Kamo and Shiraku.

Matsudaira Ieyasu began to worry from the appearance of Oda's army at its peak, and then looked at the shabby armed army he led, and in order to be able to avoid losing face in front of Oda Nobunaga, he tried his best to pull all the people who could be pulled in the territory, and only then did he gather 3,500 people.

Matsudaira Ieyasu's heart was full of worries, and the impermanent changes in the world made him feel a kind of melancholy, and said with a wry smile: "Although I am very reluctant to admit that Oda Nobunaga is getting stronger and stronger, the Matsudaira family is afraid that they can only succumb to the upper hand and claim to Oda Nobunaga." ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu knows very well in his heart, and people who are jealous of Oda Nobunaga will say that he was able to soar by selling his sister's ass, but those who really know Oda Nobunaga know that he is a generation of heroes with great ambitions and great ambitions.

Seeing that Matsudaira Ieyasu was preoccupied, Okubo Tadasa asked respectfully, "My lord, how is it, what did Oda say?" ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu listened, and almost squeezed out the words between his teeth, "My brother spoke quite politely, and he didn't ask us to submit to him, but his subordinates obviously didn't think much of it?" After speaking, his face was gloomy, and the anger in his heart was indescribable.

Okubo Tadasa neither supported nor opposed, and he said to himself: "I don't think things are so simple, maybe Nobuto-sama may see your fangs and understand that you played a bad role in the incident of the three parties of the mountain family." ”

Matsudaira Ieyasu's heart seemed to be hit hard, indeed, he played a very bad role in the incident of the mountain family's tripartite, it can be said that he pushed the conflict between the mountain family's tripartite and Oda Nobunaga, once Oda Nobunaga knew the truth, the consequences were unimaginable.

Matsudaira Ieyasu thought about it and said to Okubo Tadasa: "Indeed, we have to temporarily settle down to appease Nobunaga's heart, and for now we must use his power to expand our strength, at least to restore the career of our grandfather Kiyoyasu." ”

On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga and Takigawa Kazuyi discussed the issue of Matsudaira Ieyasu. Since Shibata Katsuya suffered a defeat, coupled with the fact that Takigawa Kazuki and his nephew Keiji Maeda were born and died for Oda Nobunaga, their status has been raised all of a sudden.

Takigawa Kazuyoshi said respectfully: "My lord, Matsudaira Ieyasu played a very bad role in the incident of the Sanfang people of the mountain family, and in the incident of attacking the Okuhei family mission, there are some signs of the Koga people, and it is undeniable that Matsudaira Ieyasu is possible. ”
