Warring States Eagle

Chapter 876 Nobunaga's Choice

In the Battle of Inauhara, Oda Nobunaga’s army was weak and strong, and achieved great success. They captured more than 450 heads of the rebel Hayashi Misaku, and Oda Nobuyuki’s side suffered a crushing defeat: Shibata Katsuya hid in Suemori Castle, Lin Xiuzhen fled Back at Furuno Castle, they were surrounded by the Oda Nobunaga's army that was advancing on the victory.As for Oda Nobuyuki, who is the biggest protagonist of the opposing side, he did not escape back to Momori City as recorded in history, but his whereabouts are unknown.Kakuda Shingoro and Sasazura were killed in the rebellion.

As for the external forces agreed with Oda Nobuyuki at the beginning, they have different performances.Saito Yoshitaka of Mino country is very trustworthy, and he actually sent hundreds of troops to march on the border between Mino and Owari.

But both Oda Nobuyuki and Saito Yoshitaka underestimated Oda Nobunaga too much.When Oda Nobunaga went out in Qingzhou City, he did receive an urgent report from the border about the intention of the Saito family's army to invade, but Oda Nobunaga threw away the urgent report and waved it directly. The soldiers rushed to Oda Nobuyuki's army regardless.

Could it be that Oda Nobunaga really ignored the invasion of foreign enemies, but would rather have a civil war with his brothers?Of course not, Oda Nobunaga has long seen that Saito Yoshiryu is also busy integrating various forces within Mino at this time, and has no energy to invade Owari at all, so when Oda Nobunaga heard about Mino's invasion After the urgent report, he knew that the other party was bluffing, so naturally he would not care about the army of Saito's family parading at the border.

Oda Nobunaga, the army of Saito's family, ignored it, but the army of Ganshoji Temple, who entered from Ise Kingdom and was mainly believers of the Izuto sect, had to pay attention.However, what surprised Oda Nobunaga was that the army originally went straight to the battlefield at that time, but they had not waited for them to arrive at the battlefield.Oda Nobuyuki's army was defeated.So the army along the way simply turned their guns around.They actually burned, killed and looted in Oda Nobuyuki's territory.Under such circumstances, Oda Nobunaga postponed the expulsion of this army.

On this side, Oda Nobunaga did not immediately expel these Izumo sect thugs, but it shocked the Shibata Gonrokukatsu family who had just returned to Sumori City, because at this time the city lord, Oda Nobuyuki, had not yet escaped. Those thugs will be in danger, but at this time, because he is worried that Oda Nobunaga's army will kill him, he dare not organize the defeated soldiers who also escaped to go out to search.In desperation, Shibata Quanrokusho's family had no choice but to ask to see Oda Nobuyuki's mother who was in the city.That is, Tsuchida Gozen, the wife of Oda Nobuhide.At this time, Tsuchida Yuqian had lost his hair and was also known as Xianglinyuan.

It was already evening, Shibata Quanrokukatsu's family first asked his wife to shave his head at home, and then put on a black dress. After walking out of the house, he avoided people's attention and came to Mrs. Tsuchida's house In front of the door, knock on the wooden door.A maid opened the wooden door shortly after.

"It's late at night, but I, Shibata Gonroku, have an urgent matter and want to ask the Layman of Korin Academy for help. Please tell me to come and see me."

When Shibata Gonrokukatsu said this to the maid, suddenly, someone poked out from behind the maid.That was Oda Nobunaga's younger sister, Princess Aichi, with her eyes wide open.After seeing Shibata Gonrokukatsu's house, he fled away with a "hehehe" smile.

In history, Ashi later married into the Asai family, and she was the biological mother of Mr. Yodo and later Mrs. Xiuzhong, the second general.Later, she became the wife of Shibata Gonrokukatsu's family and moved to live in Beizhuang Castle in Echizen. Finally, she and Shibata Gonrokukatsu's family died together before Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army brought them.However, at this time, she is still a little girl who finds everything funny when she sees it!

"Ha. Shibata-sama's head is bald, hahaha! My stomach hurts from laughing."

"What did you say? Master Quan Liu?"

"Yes! He has a serious expression, and he's wearing a big, big dress..."

"Stop laughing, little boy! Go and invite him in."

So after getting permission, Shibata Quanrokusho's family respectfully came in front of Tsuchida Yuqian, sat upright, and said: "I have something to ask you to come forward."

"Gonroku, did you fail this battle against His Highness Sousuke?" Before Shibata Gonroku's family could make a request, Tsuchida Gozen asked suddenly.

"Yes... yes... It's all my ignorance that led to this result." Shibata Quanroku Katsuya was taken aback for a moment, and then admitted with a bit of shame on his face.

"In this way, it will be very tricky!" In fact, after seeing Shibata Gonrokukatsu's family's downfall, Tsuchida Gozen had expected the result, so he asked just now.

"In order to show my sincerity and ask for the other party's understanding, I shaved my head." Shibata Gonroku Katsuie continued.

In fact, on the way back to Sumori City, Shibata Gonrokusho's family had already reflected on it.He finally realized the brilliance of Oda Nobunaga. He thought that the big fool was just going around to ruin other people's land, but he didn't know that his purpose was to exercise his body and understand the geography of his own domain.He often does something out of the ordinary, and that is his strategy, in order not to let others know what his intentions are.No wonder, characters like Mino Viper would change their minds midway and would like to cooperate with him.His Highness the Former Lord Xinxiu also said that he was unwilling to leave the position of family governor to Xinxing.Hirate Masahide is protecting His Highness Nobunaga everywhere.Looking back now, these people have already seen how extraordinary he is.But no matter what, after all, he is the Chief Elder named by His Royal Highness Nobuhide, who is now the Musashi Mamoru, next to Oda Kanjuro Nobuyuki! He has made such a wrong thing, and it is always necessary to deal with the aftermath. As the Chief Elder The aftermath must be cleaned up.

"You shaved your head and expressed your apology to the general manager... so the matter can be settled?" At this time, Tsuchida Gozen asked rhetorically after hearing Shibata Gonrokukatsu's words.

"No." Shibata Gonrokukatsu's family replied very simply, "That strong-tempered house governor said that he would lead an army here tomorrow. That's why I had to come here overnight to ask for forgiveness and help from my lord layman." !"

"I... what do you think I can do!"

"I'm sorry! I would like to ask you to send an envoy to Qingzhou early tomorrow morning in your name, okay?"

"To Kamisousuke... under what name do you want to send an envoy?" Tsuchida Gozen said to himself at this moment.After thinking for a while, she said again:

"Yes. For this incident, I, as a mother, have severely blamed Nobuyuki and Quan Liu, and Quan Liu also regretted what he did. He shaved his head to express his remorse. In the future, he will definitely be cautious in his words and deeds. For this reason, I also brought the two of them to Qingzhou to apologize to you. For the sake of being a mother, please forgive them for this incident... I think It’s best to just say that, what do you think?”

"Thank you very much..." Shibata Gonroku Katsuya said, and returned a samurai salute.

"By the way, since that's the case, then I would like to invite Kanjuro to discuss it first."

"Ma'am, this is the second thing I want to report. Lord Musashi has not returned to the city yet." Shibata Gonrokukatsu said immediately, "I also plan to send troops to search, but there are Iraqis outside the city. The thugs from Seganshoji Temple are messing around, for the safety of the city and to avoid the misunderstanding of the superior, I have no choice but to come and discuss with you first." Shibata Gonroku Katsuya said immediately.After all, leading the army out after the defeat, it is easy to be misunderstood by the lord Nobunaga as continuing to rebel, and he is also worried that Nobunaga will take advantage of it.

"What, then quickly send someone out to look for Kanjuro!" When he heard that his most beloved second son Oda Nobuyuki had not returned to the city, Tsuchida Gozen immediately panicked, so he hurriedly said, "Go to the boss, I will meet you tomorrow." Go and explain to him in person."

So that night, Shibata Gonrokukatsu's family immediately led the army to go out overnight, expelling the rioting Isato sect believers while looking for Oda Nobuyuki.After a night of fruitlessness, Tsuchida Gozen rushed to Oda Nobunaga's barracks outside Naguno Castle in the early morning of the second day to ask Oda Nobunaga to see him.

After facing Tsuchida Gozen's intercession, Oda Nobunaga immediately announced that he would pardon the crimes of the Nobuyuki faction, and then Lin Xiuzhen, Shibata Katsuie and others who shaved their hair immediately came to Oda Nobunaga's military tent to apologize.Oda Nobunaga also personally ordered them to be responsible for expelling the Ichizo mob who were still in Oda Nobuyuki's territory at this time.What makes people feel strange is that Oda Nobunaga still did not show up. After several requests from Tsuchida Gozen, Oda Nobunaga had to intensify his search efforts.

So, where is Oda Nobuyuki at this time? (to be continued..)
