Soon, the news of Takeda Shingen's death spread——relatively among several people.

The source of Song Yongxiu's news is of course not the extraordinary intelligence network he boasted in front of Saburo, but as an ambitious ex-gangster, he understands better than anyone the regret of giving up when the meat is about to reach his mouth, and he also Therefore, there are very malicious speculations about Takeda Shingen's move to stop Shangluo.

Joining the "Nobunaga's siege net" full of joy, forcing Saburo to allocate part of his troops to fight against the rebellion in Kinai at that time, Matsunaga Hideo had already anticipated the consequences of his betrayal.If it weren't for Takeda Shingen's sudden physical problems, even if he continued to defend the city, the Oda family would have to give him some attention, and in the end, he would probably be dragged to death surrounded by many parties.

It's a pity that he joined Nobunaga's siege net without any guilt, but the harvest he got was not satisfactory.Not only did the private agreement with Takeda only really happen after Takeda succeeded in going to Luo, but also first encountered Tsutsui Junqing and him competing for the power of Yamato Kingdom-as a monk, he wanted to join Nobunaga who burned down the Buddhist temple Guy, I have to say Tsutsui Junkei's thinking is really unpredictable.

It was precisely because of Tsutsui Junkei's sudden appearance, and because of Matsunaga Hideo's high-handed rule that many families and people of Yamato Kingdom joined Tsutsui Junkei's team.Tsutsui Junkei successfully communicated with Oda Nobunaga in a twists and turns, and with the backing of Nobunaga, he fought fiercely with Matsunaga Hideo in the Battle of Chenshi City, which was the most deadly in the history of Yamato Kingdom, which directly led to the death of Matsunaga Hideo. After defending the castle, even if he got in touch with the Miyoshi trio again, even if Tokugawa suffered a disastrous defeat, Matsunaga Hideo had no strength to take advantage of it for the time being, so he could only paddle until Takeda Shingen returned to Kai.

And Takeda Shingen returns to Kai. Unless he returns soon, Nobunaga's encirclement net this time is in danger of shattering.

Matsunaga Hideo has never been willing to pin everything on other people's behavior, just as he was willing to offer "99 shots" to win favor when Saburo embraced Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo, so as to take out the domination of Yamato Kingdom from Saburo Right (Certificate of Imperial Court).So this time when Takeda Shingen returned to China, he betrayed the allies of the "Nobunaga Encirclement Network" without any hesitation, just like betraying Saburo. Clan news.

Then, with the news of "Takeda Shingen died of illness" as sincerity, he came to surrender Saburo.

Although the Hojo family shook hands with Takeda Shingen in the autumn of 1571, but before that, the Hojo clan married the eldest daughter of Takeda Shingen (and then sent back to the Takeda family because of the breakdown of the alliance).Before the reconciliation, the two families had already had a close relationship in private, and after the alliance was concluded again, the Hojo clan government welcomed part of the ashes of his deceased wife into Sounji Temple, which gave Takeda Shingen a little bit of trust in him.

Even if he had expected that he would die early, Takeda Shingen's death was much happier than he expected.Tie Pao's wounds were constantly infected, which induced his lung disease to flare up again and deteriorate rapidly. Therefore, even though he had explained the events behind him in detail, it was inevitably too hasty.Even Uesugi Kenshin, who has always been hostile to Takeda Shingen, could receive the news of Shingen's death within thirteen days, and Hojo Ujimasa, who was relatively close to the Takeda family, could naturally get the news, even faster than Uesugi Kenshin.

Then the news was snatched away by the spies sent by Song Yongxiu early.After discovering that the Hojo clan did not respond, the spies of the Hojo clan who stayed at the Takeda family could only send the same news again.Therefore, counting the round-trip distance, Hideo Matsunaga happened to be one step behind Uesugi Kenshin, and Hojo Shizheng received it one step later, and the first to receive the news was Uesugi Kenshin.

——It’s just that Kenshin Uesugi didn’t tell Saburo immediately.

This just gave Song Yongxiu a chance to sell well.If there was no such news, he would have to use a real city—Duowenshan Castle—to surrender to the Oda family.Now that I just got this news, there is always a feeling that God is helping him preserve his strength.

It's a pity that things are impermanent.

Matsunaga Hideo's calculations are very good, and Saburo himself has no malice towards him, and because of the secret relationship of "fellow townsman" that cannot be ignored, it is not an exaggeration to say that he indulged him.It's a pity that Song Yongxiu's attitude towards Saburo is too casual, which leads to too much hatred in the Oda family.Therefore, even if such shocking news was brought, it was just that Oda (under the insistence of his retainers) did not pay attention to him at the first time, waiting for Asai, Asakura and Miyoshi to be wiped out before coming back Settle accounts with Matsunaga Hideo.

——That's why you need to brush the favorability of your retainers.You must know that under the command of the daimyo, the retainers can play a great role.

Mitsuhide Akechi is also facing the same situation as Matsunaga Hideo (the vassal's favorability is too low).Different from the wave of hatred brought about by Matsunaga Hideo's arrogance, Akechi Mitsuhide is real... the result of being too trusted by Saburo.With Saburo's attitude of not sticking to the background of the retainers, the retainers of the Oda family are all very outstanding talents, so when Saburo's bias exceeds a default level, doubts and tests are simply a matter of course.

Especially Akechi Mitsuhide (on the bright side) used to work for Ashikaga Yoshiaki. (this is the point)

Fortunately, although Akechi Mitsuhide often stays in Kyoto for a long time, he still has outstanding abilities.Most of the courage to burn Mount Hiei was attributed to Saburo, but Akechi Mitsuhide, who can carry out such orders without changing his face, is naturally not a character that can be looked down upon. Even Gifu Akechi Mitsuhide can be regarded as a good hand in internal affairs, and in the end, he turned out to be a rare person who can persuade Saburo under Saburo's whims from time to time... In short, although the journey was very difficult, Akechi Mitsuhide was one of the four generals of the army. Yi's position is well-deserved, and the relationship with other retainers is much more harmonious than before.

It's really hard work, Xiaoguang.

Mitsuhide Akechi, who worked very hard, actually worked very hard in Kyoto.

After Saburo got the news of Takeda Shingen's death, because the sword man could not use the expedition to directly meet Tokugawa Ieyasu, he still sent ordinary soldiers to deliver the letter.It was Mitsuhide Akechi, because he happened to be in Kyoto, so Saburo naturally adopted the scientific and environmentally friendly method of sending letters with swords.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who was holding the letter, immediately fell into a long thought.

Although Saburo himself does not feel that he has deterred the general, after Ashikaga Yoshiaki sneaked back to the general's mansion, he was given the task of persuading the general. But after he got the information that was enough to overturn the entire battle situation, he inevitably fell into hesitation.

Akechi Mitsuhide's plan at the beginning was to beat and beat, by revealing the fact that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not competing with Oda at the moment, to temporarily stabilize this general who didn't know whether he was too arrogant or too stupid.It is not a secret that Takeda Shingen withdraws his troops back to Kai. Even if Takeda Shingen is likely to kill the carbine again, Akechi Mitsuhide is sure that he can persuade the general to be honest in the general's residence for a period of time.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki will put his opposition to Nobunaga on the surface, because he feels that Takeda is backing him.

But now, Takeda Shingen is dead!And about this matter, Ashikaga Yoshiaki knew nothing about it!

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is a general supported by the Oda family, which is also of great significance.But no matter how great the significance is, it gradually faded in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's repeated expressions of dissatisfaction with Saburo, and even the general will become an obstacle to the Oda family.

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help recalling Saburo's behavior.

If you simply want to control the general, then you have already achieved it when you established Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo.But Saburo continued to expand his territory outwards, and even once set his sights on the Asakura family. After he burned Enryaku Temple, he didn't think it was a big deal.

The so-called "unity of the world" slogan is still hanging on his lips.

Yes...that's right.What Saburo has always wanted is not to use the general to rule the world, but to completely obtain everything by his own hands!

Saburo's goal is not "the general behind the scenes", but... "the real general".

"General..."

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help muttering to himself.

If so, wouldn't now be the best time?

Strip off the aura of General Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and completely end the era of the Ashikaga family opened by Ashikaga Takaji.

Once this thought arises, it seems to be stuck in my mind, announcing my existence to Akechi Mitsuhide all the time.As for the young man who used to evade his responsibilities, the first thing he felt when he had this thought was not the fear of such a rebellious thought, but a calm, comprehensive analysis of all the information he had obtained so far. probability of success.

When Hosokawa Fujitaka talked with him, he also revealed that after the general was beaten back by Hashiba Hideyoshi, he quickly formulated a new battle plan, and even the time was chosen.Even Ashikaga Yoshiaki also learned about Takeda Shingen's return to the country, but because of Takeda Shingen's clear purpose before, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is very sure that Takeda Shingen will come back again for him, even if Takeda Shingen himself will stay in the country, he will definitely send a large army Set off.

As a former monk, Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not have any military talent.But even so, he clearly knew that even if Takeda Shingen withdrew temporarily, as long as this top general was dispatched again, Nobunaga's siege net, which still retained its shape, would be re-woven.

But for those who knew of Shingen's death, Nobunaga's siege network was completely broken, and it was impossible to pose any threat to the Oda family!

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki can be kept secret from now on——then, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will definitely dispatch as originally planned.On April 4th, Ashikaga Yoshiakicai, under the mediation of the emperor, "falsely made peace with Oda Nobunaga" and agreed to make peace with Saburo.After that, Yoshiaki Ashikaga, who was the first to tear up the contract, had a reason to be expelled from Kyoto even though he was a general!

Akechi Mitsuhide thought so.

With an almost solemn expression, he put the letter sent by the sword man on the candle and burned it. Under the shaking candle, his shadow swelled like a ghost.After deliberating all the details that might have an impact in his mind, he went back to the desk and wrote a letter. After wrapping it in a face scarf, he called out his last name and asked the other party to deliver the letter to Hosokawa Fujitaka.

This letter is of course asking Hosokawa Fujitaka to go back to Gifu with him to meet Saburo.

He didn't want to control this friend, but he knew very well how much Ashikaga Yoshiaki relied on Hosokawa Fujitaka—once Hosokawa Fujitaka disappeared suddenly, Ashikaga Yoshiaki would never be able to keep calm.

...In troubled times, if you want to secure the position of general, in addition to ambition, you also need corresponding talents and measures.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who only has the former but lacks the latter two, cannot live unscrupulously in the troubled times.

——On July 1573, 7, two months after Akechi Mitsuhide returned to Gifu.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki announced his abandonment of the contract with Saburo and raised his troops in Makishima Castle.

Yes, the "99 rounds" of Fudo Yukimitsu's 99 rounds was sent by Hideo Matsunaga.The time is 1568.

After reading several different versions of the materials, I feel that I have been useless.It is said that Matsunaga Hideo voted for Takeda in 1571 and Oda in 1573, and it is also said that after he voted for Takeda, he expressed his surrender to Nobunaga immediately after the Battle of Chenshi Castle... In short, when Matsunaga Hide really surrendered to the Oda family After Miyoshi, Asai, and Asakura were all eliminated by Oda.

The Asakura family can start with the first phase.Hey hey.
