Pillars of the Wu family

The impact of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death far exceeds Oda Nobunaga's simple imagination. This guy who has just completed the transformation from Owari's big fool to Owari's hero has no idea what a great thing he has done. Suruga Imagawa as Ashikaga The 300-year-old arm of the family, the powerful relatives of the Tokaido guarding the Kanto gate were planted in the barrel, and were killed by a boy from the Shiba family in the Owari country who was born in the official family. This is simply ridiculous.

As a result, the shogunate lost a lot of help, Ashikaga Yoshiki threw several high-quality celadon cups from the Ming Dynasty in a row, and couldn't eat a bite of food for several days. Lost like Ouchi Yoshitaka, without an iron rice bowl going to a distant country, life will not be so easy in the future.

Winners and losers, no matter how wise and powerful the murdered are, they can't escape the name of "stupid". The death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, just like the death of Ouchi Yoshitaka, did not immediately collapse a samurai family that had been glorious for hundreds of years, but people with a discerning eye And why can't you see that it has been a long time since the Imagawa family disappeared?

Imagawa may not be as unrestrained as Ouchi Yoshitaka, but he is only 21 years old, unlike Kira Yoshitoshi who experienced a difficult childhood. He has been thinking about revitalizing his family business since he was eight or nine years old. Kung fu has won Nuo Da's territory, and he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. In the past 21 years, it can be described as smooth sailing.

Mother's early life was all thanks to her loving father, and she has never experienced any setbacks since she was a child. Whether such a young and inexperienced house governor can stabilize the family business is still a problem. I can't count on a 21-year-old who has not yet learned to live independently." The eldest child, like his maternal grandfather Nobutora Takeda, became the family governor at the age of 11. At the age of 14, he raided his uncle Nobue Arakawa on a rainy night and wiped out his entire family.

News of Yoshimoto Imagawa's death quickly spread throughout the world.Reactions to the incident have varied from place to place.Some are sad, some are regretful, and many people are waiting to watch the play with mocking eyes. For example, Kami Ashikaga’s family is watching a play. Since they learned the news a few days ago, the Kira family’s general meeting has not stopped. The samurai of Kira's family became excited after experiencing the initial shock.

Namioka Tanbo caught a glimpse of Honda's excited expression and shook his head helplessly, thinking that even if the Imagawa family is over, I won't be able to kill Mikawa in a while, coughed and talked eloquently: "It's like Da Ningsi after the change. The Uchi family. After Tao Qingxian’s defeat and death in Itsukushima, the Ouchi family completely declined. After several years of lingering on his deathbed, the Ouchi family’s governor, Ouchi Yoshinaga, was finally defeated in Nagato Kingdom and Shancheng in May last year, and the Ouchi family perished! Although there are remnants struggling to die, they can't hide the result of the complete demise of the master's family, and the family of Xiguo Xiongxiong is finished like this..."

Before Langoka Takabo finished speaking, Ben Dashi interjected impatiently: "My lord, the Suruga Imagawa family is defeated in this battle, and the family business that has been saved through hard work will definitely be ruined. Mikawa is the leader of my Kira family for generations. The country is also a state that is newly attached to the Jinchuan family. As long as the Lord hints a little, the family's Pudai Su will immediately rise up to fight against the Jinchuan family. This is a golden opportunity!"

Langgang's tallow house is well maintained.He was not angry even if he was robbed of the conversation, he just shook his head and retorted: "It's not right! It's a big mistake! Our army's battle in Yuezhong has not yet ended, and the number of the main hall going to the Deba Warring States is unknown. At this time, rashly intervene in the affairs of Sanhe It will be very bad if one side is not good enough to provoke a pincer attack from both Imagawa and Oda, you must know that the Imagawa family is a giant after all, and they still have an army of [-] in their hands, and it is possible to force them to do anything." [

"Impossible! That Oda is an old friend of the Lord's for many years. He will never hit me at Kami Ashikaga's Mikawamoto Kochi!" Ben Duazhen became anxious when he heard it, what the Mikawa warriors thought about day and night He went back to his hometown in an open and honest way to relieve the injustice that he had endured for many years. When he saw Langoka's house, he had to deny it in a few words, but he couldn't care less. Yishi's complexion is so ugly.

"I've heard of this a little bit..." Namioka Takabo caught a glimpse of Kirayoshi with a slightly unhappy expression, and said with a smile: "It's just that we don't know what Oda Masa's temperament is. If he really doesn't care about the prestige of the lord, What should I do to seize the land of Sanhe by hand? We must know that people's hearts are in the belly, and Shimoda Nagao's family dares to lay hands on my Kasuga mountain castle, how can we know that this Oda is not a person with a cold nature?"

Yoshihiro Kira looked at Namioka Tanbo in surprise, and he really doubted whether this guy had the same special memory as him, and he even broke Oda Nobunaga's cold personality with a single word, so he took advantage of the situation and taught: "This guy in Sallowoka What I said is quite correct, Yu won the land of the Three States not by relying on other warriors to care about friendship, but by fighting with real swords and guns. It is very naive to entrust the safety of Sanhe Kingdom on the illusory friendship... Yahachiro needs to learn a lot of lessons!"

"Ha! Your servant must learn a lesson!" Ben Duo was depressed and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Yoshitomi Kira understood his feelings very well, and he also wanted to go back to the familiar Yahagi River, and take another look at Saijo Castle, which left him with countless happy and sad memories, but he still had more important things to do, and he couldn't help This little daydream makes a decision that goes against the development of the family business. After all, reason must overcome emotion, which is the price of growth.

"My lord, Imagawa Jibu's death is more beneficial than harm to us. The Three Kingdoms Alliance is like a three-legged giant tripod. The death of Imagawa Jibu is equivalent to a huge crack in one of the pillars. Time After a long time, this giant tripod will be unstable, and although the situation is stable and there are no bigger waves, as long as there is a small spark, it will turn into a prairie fire."

Langgang Tanfang's words stopped here, seeing that his expression obviously had more meaning, Ben Duoshizheng also quickly came to his senses, regretting that he had completely forgotten this layer, and hurriedly said: "Sadifang Palace That's right, Sosuke Imagawa (Imagawa Shima) is an inexperienced child after all. Even if he makes incomprehensible mistakes, he can understand it. As long as there are enough sparks, the Imagawa family can be burned into a pile of ruins. Just ask Tojo-den to come forward to persuade you? Presumably the Imagawa clan will definitely believe it!"

"Not good! This will make Dong Tiaodian bear the name of a courtier, which will not benefit the lord at all! We have to think of other ways." Langgang Tanfang frowned and pondered.

Listening to the two discussing how to calculate Imagawa Shima, Kirayoshi smiled softly.Picking up the folding fan and knocking on the case table, he said, "Mihachiro, Sousuke. You two don't have to worry. The ninja has already reported what kind of temperament Sosuke Imakawa is. Even the ministers in Kyoto appreciate it very much. In addition, he also has extraordinary talents and talents in calligraphy and ikebana. He loves Kyoto culture so he often communicates with the ministers of the court in Panhuan Junfu. He has extraordinary attainments in internal affairs and is sensitive to business. Very strong. Last year, I proposed Suruga’s implementation of the Rakushi Order, but Imakawa Osamu just gave up because of his heart.”

Namioka Takabo nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the reason... Human energy is always exhausted. Proficiency in side arts will inevitably relax the training of samurai skills. Sosuke Imakawakami is proficient in so many side arts, so the horse bow and horses will be exhausted. Dao is definitely unqualified, military strategy must not be proficient, and political strategy and vision are not possessed, it is very difficult to expect him not to make mistakes!"

Even if you have never met a person, as long as you know his habits and habits, you can more or less determine his appearance and deeds. Nowadays, people with distinctive characteristics like Chuan Shizhen can guess more than half of them with just a few touches.Ben Dazheng obviously understood this truth, so he proposed: "So this Sosuke Imakawakami is really immature! If there is a disturbance in the Imawakami family, maybe Sosuke Imakawakami will make a mistake in his busy schedule and cause big trouble. Why don't I make some noise in Sanhe and Yuanjiang to scare him?"

Ji Liangyishi shook his folding fan and silently listened to the two people's calculations, and when they all looked at him, he said unhurriedly: "No hurry, I have better strategies to use, just wait a little longer Someone will come to ask for peace by the beginning of next year, and Yu's plan will fall on that person."

The daily government affairs are piled up like a mountain, even if you stay in Kasugayama Castle, you can't get a moment of leisure and recuperation. Then you discuss the plan with two confidantes, and you are asked by Hosokawa Fujitaka to solve the matter of the re-definement of the division by the leader of Ueno Junior High School. Busy Unknowingly, Lulu was able to rush back to the Kasuga Imperial Palace when the sky outside gradually darkened.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor between Okuma, he heard the sound of weeping from inside, and the voices of several women were faintly comforting in a low voice. Naotora's origin was forgotten, and with the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Echigo became known to everyone, and the news that her biological father, Ii Naomori, was dead was also hidden.

Ji Liangyishi was so annoyed that he wanted to kill someone, but he missed the flames in his backyard after all the calculations, beckoned the maid who was serving him, and shouted sharply: "Which maid is gossiping and killed my father-in-law?" Yu's wife has leaked such terrible news from the funeral barrel! If Zhihu has three games and two short days, I will ask you!" [

The maids had never seen Kirayoshi angry before, and the nice gentleman who was very easy to get along with in the past, at this moment, his eyes were burning with anger, and the sharp eyes like knives fell on them as if they were going to cut them into seven pieces. It was like eight yuan, which made the little maids frightened into silence and did not dare to move.

At this moment, the voice in Oujian stopped, and the paper door was slowly opened, but Zhihu came out slowly. Her face was as pale as paper at this time, and her two big eyes were red and swollen like two small light bulbs. Dragging his cumbersome body, he saluted with difficulty: "Your Highness, don't blame them, this matter has nothing to do with them, this news was written to my concubine by the genealogy of the family, my poor father passed away in his prime..."

As he spoke, Naotora began to cry again. Her crying made Kirayoshi's worrying Liushenzhu hurriedly support her and comforted her carefully: "Life is alive, misfortunes and blessings are only in a flash, and life and death are parting. Definitely! There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty called "Old and young on the road to Huangquan". The father-in-law lived his life as a soldier, but in the end he died for the Imakawa family's loyalty. As a warrior, he died well! Now the little Ah Hu has the rest of his flesh and blood, among which is Half of your Jingyi family has a blood relationship, and in the future, there will always be someone who will worship your father-in-law for four seasons in the future!"

Hu Ji walked out with her eight-month pregnant belly, she waved her hand lightly to repel the hapless little maids, stepped forward and took Zhihu's little hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Your Highness is right, the dead are gone." As the living beings are like this, Sister Naotora, as the sole bloodline successor of Shinano Shouden, should hold back her grief and persevere. Now, Sister Naotora is pregnant with His Highness's child, she should take care of her body and spirit to give birth to a healthy and lively child. My good boy, to comfort Shinano Shouden under the Nine Springs!"

Sandalwood and Yoshino also followed suit to persuade Naohu to stop crying, and she was freed from the sadness at the moment, knowing that the child when she was pregnant with Kira Yoshito couldn't be too sad, in case the child was messed up because of her If it is lost, it is not as simple as the death of a father. Maybe Kirayoshi will kill when he is mad. In the past few months, she has learned about this husband's attachment to family affection, which makes her very happy. move.

Naohu cried all day long, he was already very sleepy, if it wasn't for his strong body, he would have fainted and would not wake up, anyway, under the service of the maids, he simply ate something and went to bed. The pregnant lady was sent back, and she was not relieved until the second watch.

Lying on the tatami and meditating for a moment, he murmured to himself: "It's really not the right time for Yoshimoto Imakawa to die. At least I'll wait until Yu's baby is born before I die! But Yu's harem is disturbed... Speaking of which, Before he was alive, he plotted against Yu several times, and after his death, he still messed up with Yu, so he couldn't be safe. Could it be that he wanted to fight Yu to the end?".

In addition to the death news of the unlucky Yoshimoto Imagawa, there are some more gratifying news. A few days later, the latest battle report came from Etsuchu. It is a pity that the troops rushed out in a big way, and the preparations were seriously lagging behind. They rushed to Toyama Castle with [-] troops.

On the way, they met Tokiyuki Yamamoto who was waiting in battle. He led 5000 people and set up an army on Tateyama outside Fusaki City, ten kilometers southwest of Toyama Castle. Ida River, Etsuchu's usual marching route was blocked on the west bank by this Fuji Pond.

If you want to enter, you have to bypass the Fuji Pond and advance along the gentle mountain from the north bank, and collide with the main force of the Etsuchu Army of the Kira Army who is waiting there. Jinbao Changzhi is worried that this will fall into the trap of the Kira Army. He is unwilling to give in so easily. Xingsi Yuncheng ridiculed him for being too timid, obviously he was the one who was most active in clamoring for revenge and taking back Xinchuan County, but in the end he shrank like a quail.

How can a man hold back such vile humiliation, the job of the head of the Shenbao is really unbearable to ridicule, but he dare not offend the great monk Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, so he can only grit his teeth and endure the anger in his chest, but he doesn't want to suffer Shengxing again Si Tanrong and Ruiquan Temple Zhunxuan were teased by the two juniors, he was so hateful that he almost gritted his teeth, knowing that if he refused to give in, he would be humiliated even more, so after a long time he had to agree to go out in a muffled voice.
