Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Tokugawa Ieyasu's letter was quickly delivered to Saburo.

Probably the letter written by Saburo (written by Akechi Mitsuhide) gave Tokugawa Ieyasu great comfort. In the reply, Tokugawa Ieyasu showed a very positive attitude, and he did not lose his temper in the face of Takeda Shingen's pressing every step of the way. , and even wrote down the current predicament and estimated situation of the Tokugawa family in great detail, and expressed his gratitude to Saburo at the end of the letter.Although he did not go further because of his distrust of the means of communication, he was worried that his own arrangement would be known to Takeda Shingen after the letter was seized, but it is undeniable that this is already a sufficiently detailed and cautious letter.

This is also the greatest sincerity that Tokugawa Ieyasu can give Saburo.

Intellectually understand that the Tokugawa and Oda families are only in a mutually beneficial relationship, and even because of Tokugawa's weakness, they are in a lower position in this alliance. This time Takeda's attack is also a crisis for the Tokugawa and Oda families ...But emotionally, Akechi Mitsuhide was still moved by Tokugawa Ieyasu's trust in Saburo.

Because in this era of frequent betrayals, such unreserved trust is really too rare.

...No, because Tokugawa Ieyasu trusts Saburo, so such trust is not incomprehensible.

It was still the end of 1571.Takeda Shingen raised his troops at the beginning of the year and attacked Mikawa.Before attacking Sanhe, he took advantage of Saburo being trapped in Kyoto and was busy fighting with the Allied Forces of the Asahi Dynasty. He took Dongmino and cut off the communication between Oda and Tokugawa-it was impossible to completely cut off, but At least to a considerable extent, it has affected the communication between Saburo and Tokugawa Ieyasu.Even if Saburo hadn't negotiated peace with Rokkaku in time, held peace talks with Asai Asakura, and rushed back to Mino quickly, even Gifu would be in danger of falling into the city.

At this time, Saburo would still think that it would be nice if he went to the Tokugawa family's territory earlier after he had Fu Sangshen, so that he could use the expedition to send letters-but he just regretted it for a moment and let it go. There is no way to speculate on the current state of the Tokugawa family based on Takeda's actions, things about the Allied Forces of the Asako Dynasty, Ichikui's reaction, etc.

Of course, in this regard, Takenaka Hanbei and others have made great contributions.

The men with swords who were inexplicably used on expeditions to deliver letters were disappointed for a while because they were completely useless...but whether this loss was because they were not useful, or because they couldn't tell the current history (not the change of Honnoji Temple) to others. Saburo, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see wisdom.

Although Takeda has begun to gradually encroach on the territory of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and like Saburo, Tokugawa Ieyasu is also a sudden rise of the daimyo. Ieyasu's weakness is so obvious, Takeda chose to buy the wealthy family from the Tokugawa territory in order to preserve his strength, and isolate Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This happened to be used by Tokugawa Ieyasu to delay time.

When Takeda officially attacked Mikawa where Tokugawa Ieyasu was located in April, and gave Tokugawa Ieyasu heavy weight in the next two months... Sanlang sent troops!

It was Asai and Asakura who hit it!

Of course, it is impossible for Takeda to sit back and watch an important part of Nobunaga's encirclement network be breached, and immediately choose to help, which slows down the offensive against Mikawa and gives Tokugawa a chance to breathe-this is why Tokugawa Ieyasu expressed his thanks at the end of the letter .

In fact, whether it is Tokugawa Ieyasu or Takeda Shingen, or even the general who is far away in Kyoto, they all know that Takeda Shingen’s arrival is also ordered by the general—or the general’s meaning is exactly what he wants. Oda Nobunaga opened the siege net against Oda again before setting foot on the territory of the Tokugawa family.

There is also no lack of old grievances between Takeda and Tokugawa.But what is worthy of recognition is that Oda Nobunaga is a man not to be underestimated. Although the current situation is not good for Oda, it is far from the disadvantage that Oda Nobunaga faced Imagawa Yoshimoto at that time.After supporting Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo, Oda Nobunaga even increased his control over Kyoto and the surrounding areas by weakening the power of the general. Not to mention that now he can make those daimyos bow their heads and proclaim their ministers, at least in Takeda Shingen and Oda Compared with Nobunaga, they are still more inclined to Oda Nobunaga's side.

Even if he succeeds in going to Luo, it will take time for Takeda to gain a firm foothold, not to mention the division of interests with Asai and Asakura in the future.If Oda Nobunaga fails to kill, then no matter how desolate Oda Nobunaga falls, there is still the possibility of a comeback.

Isn't Saito Ryuko an example of this? As Mino's former daimyo, even if he is very downcast now, he has played a big role in this "Nobunaga's siege net".

Moreover, the territory of the Tokugawa family also made Takeda Shingen feel threatened.Tokugawa Ieyasu's troops are not many, but if left unchecked, once Oda and Tokugawa unite, Takeda will be cut off like Oda at that time.

It can be said that it was for the sake of breaking Oda that Takeda would attack Mikawa where Tokugawa Ieyasu was located.And it is precisely to protect himself that Tokugawa Ieyasu knew this and wanted to help each other with the Oda family.

The hidden game behind this chaotic situation... Of course Saburo still doesn't know!

Do you really think his enigmatic political sensitivity is just talk? This is so decisively true!

I can't understand what kind of public anger I committed, which caused so many people to besiege me-today's Saburo is also worried about how to win the world.

After the burning of Enryakuji Temple, he quickly chose a random time to return to Kyoto, and after having a (thought) friendly conversation with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he returned to Gifu.Then Saburo gave Akechi Mitsuhide Sakamoto near Enryaku-ji Temple on the grounds of preventing the resurgence of Enryaku-ji Temple, and allowed him to build a castle there.

A castle that belongs only to Akechi Mitsuhide himself.

The Oda family's retainers have always noticed that Saburo's special preference for Akechi Mitsuhide and Nobushige is not an illusion, because Saburo has already declared in a very high-profile manner how much he valued Akechi Mitsuhide at this time.

And Mitsuhide Akechi, who emerged from the Battle of Mount Hiei, seems to have the intelligence and heart to match this trust.

Now is the time when the Oda family is under threat. Even if the Oda family's retainers are dissatisfied with Akechi Mitsuhide's special favor, they will not make trouble at this time.Akechi Mitsuhide also took advantage of this time to turn around among his retainers, to change these people's prejudices against him, instead of pressing the conflict to the back to explode.

In this regard, it is not unreasonable for Oda Nobuhide to choose Akechi Mitsuhide as his heir instead of the better-bodied Nobuyoshi—it’s a pity that after a certain day in 1549, Akechi Mitsuhide had already shaken off "Oda Nobuyuki". No matter how excellent the ability and means are, he can only be "Akechi Mitsuhide" who is the vassal of the Oda family.

His behavior of trying his best to resolve the conflicts among the Oda family's retainers, because he has the same face as Saburo, has a lot of different flavors in the eyes of the sword man.

——especially Hasebe, who was frightened when I first met.

In all fairness, Hasebe's brain hole is still very reliable.No matter in the Warring States period, or even in the later era, there are "shadow warriors".They are the substitutes of those in high positions, and they are often served by ninjas who are loyal to their masters, and they will die for them when necessary.Because not everyone can see the daimyo, and the portraits are currently imitating the style of Tang Guo's portraits. Therefore, in order to prevent being assassinated, the shadow warriors do not demand the same appearance, but only a similar body shape and appearance.

Only Saburo, who would go out to play sumo with farmers from time to time, and take his wife out on dates, was the only one.

To be fair, even the local residents of Kyoto would recognize Saburo's face.Under such circumstances, a wise Mitsuhide who is exactly like Saburo suddenly appeared, who would believe that he was not a shadow warrior!

It's amazing to find such a similar substitute.

In fact, this idea has been more or less felt by other swordsmen after they saw Akechi Mitsuhide's appearance... However, on the night of Yakiri Hasebe's arrival, after raising it in front of all the swordsmen, whether it was at first Sosan Zuomonji and others who were there, or Smiling Aoe and others who returned after going to Mount Hiei, all answered the same - "impossible".

Press cut Hasebe: "...what is the reason"

"Because Mitsuhide Akechi's physique and skills are not what a ninja might have." Mitsuhide Akechi's poor strength was imperceptibly damaged, and Aoe replied kindly with a smile, "And Mitsuhide Akechi...is not a person who is good at hiding himself. "

Akechi Mitsuhide may be able to hide his secrets, but he has never concealed his personality difference from Saburo, nor has he imitated Saburo's actions.

But Akechi Mitsuhide is not an ordinary vassal either—he may really regard himself as a vassal and sincerely consider Saburo, but in fact his attitude towards Saburo is more like treating an equal...peer.

I'm afraid that even Mitsuhide Akechi didn't realize it.But this way of getting along is very strange and arrogant - different from the retainer model of the Asai family, when the retainers of the Oda family face Saburo, even if they will give advice, they will still be submissive!

Regardless of whether Saburo realizes it or not, his will is the will of the Oda family. The retainers may persuade them, but they can never change them!

Except for Akechi Mitsuhide.Even Saburo, who always shows a strong side unconsciously, will listen to his opinions more.

These two people seem to have some unknown connection, and they trust each other in a posture that can be surprising even if the Warring States Period is left out.

"But it's because Akechi Mitsuhide is not a Kagemura in the usual sense that he is at Honnoji..." After being denied, Kakiri Hasebe said with a frown.

"That's true." After pondering for a while, the smiling Qing Jiang confirmed Yaki Hasebe's conjecture, "However, it is still too far to say that the Honnoji Temple is too far away. Before that, we still need to deal with the several crises that the lord is facing. OK."

He didn't go into details, but leaned a little lazily on a few cases, and said to Qiqie who was trying to hand over the work with Zong Sanzuo's text: "I'm still a little tired after returning from Mount Hiei-now go and get Prince Jue Shufa Report the matter to the lord, and then rest well."

Press-cut Hasebe: "..."

Press-cut Hase: ""

"Prince Jueshufa is..."

"He is the abbot of Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei."

"No, that's not what I'm asking... Do you want to tell the lord what happened in history!"

In response to the surprised question from Hasebe, the smiling Qingjiang just touched his chin, and replied calmly: "That's right—it doesn't matter, right?"

When he said this, there was a kind of naturalness quite similar to Saburo.

"This is not something that can change the course of history. Even if you know that Prince Jushufa was not burned to death and was accepted by Takeda Shingen, the lord can't chase after him. Let's kill the emperor's brother who became a monk."

Pressing and cutting Hasebe unexpectedly found that what he said made sense.

"Our lord is a man with ambitions in the world, and even his retainers may be abandoned because of burnout—we, who can only fight against the time-traveling army, and hover between maintaining history and protecting the gods, what is the difference between weaving and weaving?" How valuable is it for Tian Nobunaga?"

Saying such words, Qing Jiang's expression on the smiling face did not look dispirited.

Even the men with swords and swords around them didn't show any strange expressions, obviously they were well prepared.

"Since this is the case, let's follow the history and help him. As long as the final result is not affected, we are still 'maintaining history'. Wait until the day of the end of Nobunaga..."

"Well, we'll think about it at that time. However, the opinion of the valet will be particularly important."

Smiling Qing Jiang patted Hasebe on the shoulder with good intentions, and showed an encouraging smile.

Press-cut Hasebe: "..."

What kind of stimulation did this "Touken Ranbu" receive, and why everything was wrong.

Although the conversation with Smiling Qing Jiang ended there, I have to say that Yakiri Hasebe was still quite entangled in his heart because of these words.

And under the entanglement, he was actually taken to analyze the situation of the Warring States Period, study the trends of various countries and watch the art of war

This is a normal Honmaru thing

Being tossed about by these things, coupled with the need to understand many things that happened in more than two years, Yaki Hasebe finally completed the handover of the valet mission a few years ago.

Just when he was about to knock on the door and tell Saburo to change his servant——Saburo's voice came from the Japanese room.

"Well, what Hanbei said is correct, but he is still in Omi... Then, let's write to Uesugi Kenshin."

The computer is broken again... It's hard to find information on the mobile phone...

Spread your hands.So there is no mine list today.

Well, also, in fact, the valet doesn't need to learn those 2333333 Zongsan and they themselves haven't learned 2333333 lighting wax for Hasebe.
