"Long Zheng, you didn't feel happy when you heard the news."

In Xiaogu City, Asai's father and son were sitting and looking at each other.

Asai Nagamasa's father, Asai Hisamasa's sideburns have long been stained with frost. Unlike his son, he acted cowardly when he was young, so he passed on the position of house governor to Asai Nagamasa early, but he often acted for his son. Make suggestions.

The old man who had already shown his old age seemed to have just asked such a simple question, then turned his head and looked outside the sliding door.The backyard outside the door is no longer as bright and beautiful as it was in spring. Even though the weeds and trees are still crowded together, there is still a lingering sense of bleakness.When there were already weeds and yellow leaves, the most eye-catching and full of vitality in the courtyard was a woman with black hair as smooth as satin looking around inside.

Asai Nagamasa followed his gaze and naturally saw the woman there.Because of Oda Nobunaga's tyrannical behavior, his face, which was always full of sorrow, was instantly dispelled a small cloud, showing a very rare gentle smile, and called out: "Ashi."

The woman in the yard turned her head immediately.That face as clear as a lotus flower is still as pure and innocent as when she first married into the Asai family with children. The ground responded, "It's Mr. Changzheng. I'm here with Chacha looking for snakes. Did Mr. Changzheng see it?"

"...Your interests have not changed." Even though he is deeply in love with his wife, Asai Nagamasa will still feel sweet distress for Ashi's maverick, "I just gave birth not long ago, is your body okay? What about Chu Hejiang?"

"It doesn't matter. I can feel that my body is completely healed." Ah Shi replied immediately, "I asked her to catch turtles at the beginning, and Jiang is still too young. When she gets older, I will teach her to catch snakes myself. Now I can only watch my sisters find fun."

Asai Nagamasa went to the veranda to take a look, and sure enough, he saw the maid standing aside holding Jiang in panic, and Chacha squatting excitedly in the grass, only showing her mother's black hair top.The only one he could see in its entirety was Ah Chu, who was over three years old, who was also sitting near the pond at this time, with an expression of not wanting to get close to the pond.

"They're all very similar to you—a lively girl."

In fact, I don't understand the way wives educate their daughters, but in this era, girls' education is the responsibility of their mothers. Reminiscent of Saburo's unreasonable playing cards and Ashi's personality that is very different from that of ordinary Warring States princesses, Nagamasa Asai finally decided I can accept this as the Oda family's unique parenting style.At this time, seeing his daughters were full of energy, his expression that would have softened when he looked at Ah Shi became softer, and he hardly looked like someone who was facing a predicament.

"It's very similar to Nagamasa-sama." Facing the three daughters who were almost in the same mold as himself, Ah Shi said without any hesitation.

"—Yes. They are also my daughters." Asai Nagamasa said, "It's been a long time since I left the Oda family. Does Ashi miss your brother?"

Just as Asai Nagamasa expected, the woman who was beautiful enough to be praised as "the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period" immediately replied: "Yes! I miss my brother very much!"

"The relationship between you and Oda Nobunaga is really good." Asai Nagamasa sighed.He still looked at Ah Shi tenderly, and said words with connivance: "Your eyes are too—from the very beginning, you have focused on the strong."

"Master Nagamasa"

"It's okay, Ashi." Asai Nagamasa said, "Take the children to play somewhere else. This place is no longer suitable for you."

Such words should have been unkind, but because of Nagamasa Asai's love and tolerance for Ashi, such unkind accusations and orders have become very warm.It wasn't until Ashi left with the children that Asai Hisamasa, who was watching the woman's calm and unrestrained back, spoke: "——she is indeed a beauty that makes one uneasy. Nagamasa, you still have to leave her behind." Asai's house?"

The old man was not angry, but his eyes looked a little sharp: "I have said long ago that Oda Nobunaga is cruel, and there must be some kind of conspiracy in marrying his sister. If it wasn't for her tip-off, Nobunaga would have died in Jinzaki without a doubt. , and there is no more predicament.”

"If we talk about conspiracy, we first betrayed our alliance with Oda." Nagamasa Asai just shook his head, and said softly in a calm and calm manner, "Besides, I can also predict that Ashi will do this of--"

He shook his head amusingly.

"Because she likes her brother more than me."

"I knew she would send the letter as soon as she found out, but I still didn't stop her. If you want to blame Ashi's report, it's better to blame it on my acquiescence."

"You're completely stunned."

"I'm really stunned... I won't continue to fight against Nobunaga, father."

The young man who could still be called a handsome man even with his Tsukiyo head shaved said calmly.

"Earlier you said that I was not happy when I heard the news of Asakura's raising of troops—that's all I can answer."

"Asai, there is no hope."

On August 1573, 8, Asakura Yoshikage sent 6 troops to the south in order to relieve Asai's predicament.But three days later, Asai Nagamasa's vassal Aguan Sadae surrendered to Oda, and Motoyama Castle became Saburo's property. At that time, the vitality was seriously injured, and it had to be against the strength of the Kami Oda family, and the combined forces had a chance of winning.As soon as Aguan Zhenzheng came, Asai Asakura's only remaining contact was cut off in one fell swoop.

Xiaogu City is finally reduced to an isolated city. It is no longer an isolated city in the economic sense where the land is destroyed and the people are killed. There are only Asai’s family and Asai’s army inside and outside the city, but in the military sense. city.

Taking advantage of cutting off the connection between the two armies, Oda Nobunaga immediately led his army northward and began to attack the Asakura army that had entered the Omi area.

Afterwards, what he achieved was taken for granted, what could be called a massacre... a victory that belonged to the Oda family.

Although Asakura Yoshikage was the governor of the Asakura family, his performance in the battle against the Oda family in 1570 was really poor, and in the subsequent series of battles, Asakura Jingjing performed the post of general general on his behalf.This time, although Asakura Yoshikage led his troops to personally because he felt the crisis, he was still reluctant to appear on the front line because of his fear of the Oda family (the main city was almost breached before the Kanezaki Palace happened), and because Asakura When Jingjing was acting as the general, the people he got looked at him and reprimanded Asakura Jingjing.As a result, the morale of the Asakura family became more and more low. What's more, there was a governor of the Oda family who dared to go to the front (at the same time the retainers desperately wanted to stop him). In the battle, the Asakura army was almost defeated.

Knowing that Asai's rescue could no longer be counted on, Asakura Yoshikage immediately made a choice - escape!

Escape back to Echizen, escape to Asakura's place!

——However, it is a pity that even though Asakura Yoshikage fled back, he did not get the safety he wanted.

Asakura Yoshikage first fled into Himandan City, and the monks of Baoxianfang in the city immediately contacted the Oda Army for the continuation of Baoxianfang, and Hidancheng quickly fell into the city.

Asakura Yoshikage had to flee again, and fled into Ichijo Valley after a tragic retreat.Then Oda Nobunaga began to attack Ichijo Tani Castle, and Asakura Yoshikage fled to Ono Castle in a hurry.

The result was disheartened, Asakura Jingjing also decided to take refuge in Oda Nobunaga.The Yicheng Valley City he guarded did not have any decent resistance. Even if the soldiers guarding the city were willing to die this time, the Yicheng Valley City fell in three days.Even because of Asakura Kagekage's heart of surrender, with him as the internal response, Ono Castle, which Asakura Yoshikage had just arrived in, fell quickly!

Asakura Yoshikage could only flee to Yamada Village immediately, but was tricked by Asakura Jingjing to Liufang Xiansong Temple, where he was forced to commit seppuku.

His head is the last piece of sincerity that Asakura Kagegyo surrendered to Oda Nobunaga.

At this time, it is only August 8th.

From August 8th, when Asakura's army set off, to August 6th, when Asakura Yoshikage was killed—the time that passed was only half a month.

It only took half a month, and the once famous Asakura family was completely defeated under the attack of Oda Nobunaga! !

"It's exactly as you said."

Although Asai Hisamasa is not as decisive as his son Nagamasa, his cowardice and incompetence are only compared to his father Asai Ryomasa and his son Asai Nagamasa.Asai Hisamasa was able to become the governor of the Asai family. Naturally, his eyesight is not bad. Even if Kotani Castle has been isolated, he has already seen the battle just from the information that Asakura's chief ministers have surrendered to Oda. the result of.

He looked at You Youyou's handsome son almost exhaustedly, and sighed: "—The Asai family, indeed..."

There is no hope anymore.

"Master Yoshikage is not good at the art of war. He withdrew from the siege before, giving Oda Nobunaga the opportunity to counterattack... short-sighted and gave up the last chance, no matter how hard he tried in the future, he would not be able to counter Oda Nobunaga. "Asai Nagamasa wriggled his lips and finally said this.

"What about you, Nagamasa, will you regret abandoning the Oda family?" Asai Hisamasa did not look directly at his son's face, but lowered his head, and asked flatly, "I still want to try it one last time... go to Chaozhi The Tian family is begging for mercy."

"Father!"

"Tell me, Nagamasa." Asai Hisamasa just asked, "Did you stay in Ashi for this day?"

Asai Nagamasa looked at his father in astonishment.After a reaction time that did not look like a general, he finally bowed his head towards his biological father, lowered his voice, but replied firmly and unusually: "No. I am hostile to Nobunaga... I have never regretted it. Until Now, I have no regrets."

"That's enough." Asai Hisamasa showed an amiable smile on his aging face, "Our Asai family should go on like this with no regrets and pride."

"Even if it's the end."

Asai Nagamasa had already realized what Asai Hisamasa would do, but he only trembled with his fingers, and he didn't intend to point it out or stop him.

"Until now, I have to admit that your wife is a beauty that people can't bear to let go." Asai Hisamasa continued, "Let's make a decision as soon as possible... The Asai family is about to perish."

Almost at the same time, Saburo was also speaking seriously to his retainers in the Oda family's Honjin.

"So, can you get Ah Shi out as soon as possible now?"

There was a troubled look on his face that floated on the surface like a child.

"Hey, you mean..."

"Ah." Saburo replied, "Because I want to destroy the Asai family here."

"That's why we need to get Ah Shi out quickly. Is there any way?"

Well, that's right, Asai Hisamasa committed seppuku, and Asai Nagamasa committed suicide after sending away Ashi and his daughters.

However, Oda Nobunaga led the army to Omi not on July 7 in the previous chapter, but on August 21. 【Knock on the blackboard】

The first phase will start soon.

And this article does not have the second setting of [the world shakes up].First of all, the world is shaking itself is not an official setting.And I went to check the information, because Yoshimitsu only made one sword in one period, so there is a saying that one strike in the world is one strike in one period.However, there are also historical materials that Hideo Matsunaga presented 1568 pieces of eggplant (tea set) and the famous sword Yoshimitsu (Tianxia Yishin) when Nobunaga went to Los Angeles in 99 to save his territory and life.If this is true, then Yiqi Yizhen is obviously not the same knife as Tianxia Yizhen.Because at this time Yiqi Yizhen was still in Asakura's hands.Personally, I tend to use two different knives, but Yizheng may indeed have received praises like "Wow, this knife is really powerful in the world", so there is a phenomenon of confusion between the two knives.

I said it in the previous comment, let me talk about it here to start the Cangmu small classroom (not)
