Even if there is no spoiler for the men with swords, Mitsuhide Akechi still predicts the future development.

After Yikui failed to attack the city, Choshige Tomita, who had no intention of killing the retainers of the Oda family to completely turn against the Oda family, but only wanted to use the right time and place to remove political enemies, had to back down a step.

He secretly instigated a group of people to attack not only the Kita Village where Akechi Mitsuhide and others were located, but also Asakura Keiken's Andu.Different from Akechi Mitsuhide's stubborn resistance, Asakura Keiken quickly bowed his head to Choshige Tomita under the oppression of a group of people, and was directly used as a lobbyist after that, entering Kitanosho Castle to negotiate peace for both sides.

Kokomaru had already revealed that Takeda might take action, so Mitsuhide Akechi naturally couldn't insist on staying in the dangerous Echizen.He quickly reached an agreement with Choshige Tomita. Because of the difference in strength between the two sides, the final result was that all the retainers and soldiers of the Oda family withdrew from Echizen, and the city that had just been used to resist the Yikui people was also handed over to the Asakura family. The general Maowu is in charge.In terms of the strength of the Oda family, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were kicked out in a desperate way—but considering the current situation and the strength of both sides, it is already a great achievement to be able to withdraw everyone intact. Wisdom enough to be admired.

It’s just that the handover will take time. Before that, Choshige Tomita, who is ruthless and suspicious, may repent at any time, and Mitsuhide Akechi has to maintain a mutual vigilance with him. With the promise, it will be January 1th when Mitsuhide Akechi can really embark on his return journey.

At this time, Saburo had already received the news that Akechi Castle had been successfully besieged by Takeda Katsuyori, and he was deeply troubled by it——

"I don't want to fight now." He said as a matter of course, "It's also very cold now, and we have to fight again not long after the war. Everyone can't stand it."

Probably because the matter of Tomita Choshige really challenged the authority of Oda Nobunaga. When the retainers were gathered together again to discuss how to act in the future, everyone's face was full of aggrieved and annoyed.The generals were already imposing, and being forced to stay among a group of generals, and to accept the attention of everyone, Choshige Tomita's younger brother really felt like sitting on pins and needles.

"Even if you say that, you can't spare that villain!" Ikeda Hengxing responded immediately, "Not only did you betray your trust, but you also brazenly wanted to take Echizen's rights from you—how can there be such a thing in the world?" Good thing!"

He couldn't understand his anger when he yelled these words, and looked at the young man surnamed Tomita among the generals angrily and said, "Just sending my brother here wants to erase everything... Where will he put the Oda family!"

"I don't think it matters." Saburo opened his eyes wide because of Ikeda Hengxing's fierce attitude, showing his iconic, slightly childish expression of confusion. He didn't think this kind of thing would affect the Oda family at all, "Anyway, now Echizen is full of snow and I can’t get through it, and it’s really difficult to go there to fight. And Mr. Shingen’s son hates me very much, and I have to divide the army into two groups to fight, and I will be very troublesome.”

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but when he mentioned the fact that the Oda family was trapped in the siege and had to divide their troops to fight on multiple fronts, the generals present were immediately recalled the memory of the hard battle.Generals who are used to fighting are not afraid of the dangers of the battlefield, but it is only a matter of strong willpower to resist a large army with a small force.Even if the siege net has been lifted now, and the threat of Takeda has mostly dissipated due to the death of Takeda Shingen, it does not mean that the retainers of the Oda family have no shadow at all, and can play multi-line warfare again now that the situation has eased.

This is not only psychological pressure, but more importantly, multi-line combat will thin the existing troops, which means that it is easier to break.Takeda Shingen is dead, but Sanada Yutaka is still alive, which is enough to stabilize the military spirit of the Takeda family. Even if Takeda Katsuyori, who is now exercising the function of the Takeda family supervisor, has no commendable deeds, the current Takeda army is hard to resist brave.The Asakura House in Echizen Country has declined rapidly, but with the snow inside, it is thriving again. Even if it is slightly inferior to the Oda Army, it is not completely powerless to fight back.

It's okay if you only face one, but it's too embarrassing for two to fight at the same time.

Hengxing Ikeda is not someone who is completely unaware of the situation.Of course he understands that the current Oda family is not suitable for multi-line warfare, but he must show a clear attitude, and use Tomita Choshige's younger brother to convey it to Tomita Choshige to prevent the Oda family from being underestimated.

"And Xiaoguang is also there." Saburo, who was originally hard to change his mind, saw the retainers fell silent, and was even more unaware of how much his choice had affected the Oda family. He said lazily, "Leave Xiaoguang alone." It’s always too dangerous for people to be there.”

...Thanks to Saburo's expression, which seemed completely out of line with seriousness, otherwise Akechi Mitsuhide, who had managed to get along well with the Oda family's retainers, would fall short again, and maybe he would cause another wave of hatred.

The boundary between the retainer and the master was originally very clear, but in this era of frequent wars, the status of the master and the slave may not necessarily be reversed.Oda Nobunaga's fortune is also the Oda Nobutomo who killed the main family as a branch family. He was able to successfully use Owari as the foundation because he exiled Owari's daimyo Shiba Yoshiyin.Unlike Asakura Yoshikage, who inherited the family business, Oda Nobunaga has come all the way to where he is now, and he can never be called aboveboard.

...Oh, if you look at Saburo himself, it must be a completely different plot from what the retainers saw and thought.

It is precisely because of Oda Nobunaga's methods that the Oda family's retainers pay great attention to this aspect.Among the retainers, only Ikeda Hengxing, who has been with Oda Nobunaga since he was a child, and Shibata Katsuie, who was once a retainer of Oda Nobunaga's father Nobhide and is now a vassal in the Oda family, are even more serious when facing Saburo. Be more open-even these people never thought of going overboard to control Saburo's actions.

The rest of the people were not only worried about being suspected by Saburo, but also respected and feared Saburo.

This is the atmosphere among the retainers, which further contrasts Mitsuhide Akechi's uniqueness.Such a completely reckless emphasis on the close ministers may not be uncommon in other daimyos, but it is really strange in the Oda family.Even if Saburo himself doesn't know it at all, it doesn't prevent him from becoming a person with "cold personality" and "valuing ability" in the eyes of others.In this time of war, this kind of character is not only a weakness, but also a special charisma because of the "seizing the world" that Saburo always remembers.

For the vassals of the Oda family who have become accustomed to relying on military exploits to gain status and wealth, Mitsuhide Akechi is undoubtedly the unstable factor who will break the rules at any time.For the veterans of the Oda family, Saburo's overly trustworthy and wise Mitsuhide also means the possibility of the Oda family's power falling apart, and the immeasurable risk of betrayal.

——Even if he's not at Oda's house now, Mitsuhide Akechi's situation is still just as difficult.

Thanks to Saburo's unreasonable trust that appeared when he first met Akechi Mitsuhide, the retainers have become more or less numb over the past few years.In addition to trusting Mitsuhide Akechi, Saburo treats his retainers in the same way as rewards for meritorious service, and the preferential treatment given to Mitsuhide Akechi does not exceed the limit that his retainers can accept.Coupled with the fact that Saburo still comes out from time to time to claim the title of "Owari Idiot" who has a sense of presence, the two sentences he said in passing are very rare, and most of the retainers regard him as his own strategic considerations, and he did not pay attention to Mitsuhide Akechi. What kind of hostility is generated.

The reason why I say most of them is because since knowing that the title of "Sixth Heaven Demon King" is the result of Akechi Mitsuhide, Niwa Chohide has no affection for Akechi Mitsuhide at all. Completely accepted both the (non-existent) deep meaning and the superficial meaning, and asked with a slight frown: "Is this why Your Highness accepts Choshige Tomita's offer? If Mr. Akechi also withdraws, then the Echizen Kingdom will It's completely out of control."

"Xiaoguang is of no use there." Saburo didn't notice Niwa Nagahide's subtle hostility towards Akechi Mitsuhide, and still said with a lazy New Year's expression, "Anyway, if we want to attack Echizen, we must stretch the front... It's very troublesome. Just let it go for now, Xiaoguang has to do more important things!"

Niwa Changxiu's face couldn't help but sink.

He still maintained his superficial calm, his eyes swept over the crowded generals in the room, and he felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

More important things - what counts as more important things Takeda's attack and Echizen's rebellion don't count

No matter how resourceful Mitsuhide Akechi is, many good generals of the Oda family were not left in vain.Especially after the siege network has collapsed, the Oda family's strength may be a little short, but the generals are completely sufficient, and there are many veterans who have fought for many years.Among these people, it is absolutely impossible to find a person who cannot replace Mitsuhide Akechi—that is to say, the attack of the Takeda Army can be completely dealt with by these people present alone.

On the Echizen side, Oda Nobunaga didn't want Akechi Mitsuhide to stay there.He even accepted Choshige Tomita's overtures, and kept his younger brother who was used as a hostage in Gifu to facilitate the safe return of Mitsuhide Akechi and others.

In the final analysis, his lord just wanted Akechi Mitsuhide to come back... let the lord bear the notoriety of "The Devil King of the Sixth Heaven", but did not apologize with death. Why did Nobunaga trust such Akechi Mitsuhide so much! !

Wouldn't it be as dangerous to trust such a wicked and irresponsible person as keeping a wolf by your side?

Thinking from the heart, Niwa Changhide is completely unwilling that Saburo has such a preference for Akechi Mitsuhide.But he had no room to stop him, so he could only ask Saburo after a little thought: "But it is impossible for the Echizen Kingdom to completely ignore it. Is your Highness going to make any preparations?"

Saburo: "Not at all."

"In this case, it is better to send people to build a city in the Tsuruga area of ​​​​Wakasa Kingdom." Niwa Nagahide said, "Since Your Highness has accepted Tomita Choshige's overtures, sending troops to Echizen will easily anger the opponent, and it is difficult for the Yikui people in Echizen Suppress quickly. At that time, Choshige Tomita and Takeda will unite, and our forces will be stretched to fight against both sides at the same time. Then building a fortress in the Wakasa Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Echizen Kingdom, will not attract their attention, and we will be ready to attack at any time .”

"It sounds reasonable." Saburo nodded, and asked very naturally, "Does Niwa have any candidates?"

"Naturally, it is impossible to send only one general to build a city—but I do have a candidate I want to recommend to you." Niwa Changhide replied, "Hashiba Hideyoshi, do you think he is competent enough?"

So - to fight against the wolf's ambition, the wise Mitsuhide must first find someone who will never betray the lord... Let this person earn military merit faster and have a greater voice in the Oda family, so that he can become him The assistant who eradicates the disadvantaged factors of the Oda family can win the attention and trust of the lord, and only then can Akechi Mitsuhide not dare to act rashly.

If Akechi Mitsuhide wants to shake the Oda family, he can only rely on Oda Nobunaga's Nobunaga.And if there are more outstanding and loyal people, when the lord turns his eyes away, whether it is to let Akechi Mitsuhide gradually leave the core area of ​​​​the Oda family, or to do other things, it will be easier.

Suspicion towards Mitsuhide Akechi cannot be clearly stated, and the retainers of the Oda family generally have a good impression of Mitsuhide Akechi despite his efforts.If you want to choose a person among these people who has a tepid relationship with Akechi Mitsuhide, has talent, and is loyal to Saburo——

Only Hashiba Hideyoshi

Because everything he has so far has been bestowed by Oda Nobunaga, coupled with the kindness of knowing him, it is only natural that he will fight desperately for Oda Nobunaga, and his heart is broken.

Niwa Chohide believed so firmly.

Let me tell you, Niwa, you will know that you were wrong in the future (hey)

History does not specify the time when Chimitsu and others left, but looking at the history before and after, it should be before Choshige Tomita poisoned Yuzhu and his son, that is, before the 24th.After that, he sent his younger brother to Gifu as a hostage to show his favor to Nobunaga, but because Nobunaga was unable to take care of Echizen, Choshige Tomita was ecstatic and issued a ban on the 29th to establish his control over Echizen.On the 27th, Takeda attacked Zhizhicheng, and then Nobunaga sent troops to Zhizhicheng on February [-]th.

The time here was changed by me, so that Xiaoguang and Choshige Tomita did not leave immediately after reaching a consensus, but Choshige Tomita sent his younger brother to Saburo first, and then let him go after getting a reply.Saburo had known for a long time that Takeda might attack the city, so he gave a reply before the 27th, and Takeda called on the 27th, Tomita Choshige sent Mitsuhide Akechi away after receiving a reply on the 29th, and then went to play Echizen himself.

This chapter is actually aimed at Saburo's approach, and the retainers raised questions and suggestions.
