Chapter 1537 Rewards must be calculated before fighting(2/2)
Although Takigawa Kazmasu was born in a maternal clan and was a close confidant of Oda Nobunaga, Hashiba Hideyoshi did not feel that Takigawa Kazmasu was qualified to point fingers in front of him.
Secondly, Hashiba Hideyoshi keenly felt that Takigawa Kazumi's so-called strengthening of defense was to use the Kitanomi people to fill the base defense line.
Those people were all the local tribesmen of Kitaomi whom Hashiba Hideyoshi had painstakingly conquered. Takikawa Kazumasushi could kill them without blinking an eye, but Hashiba Hideyoshi's heart was bleeding.
Although Hideyoshi Hashiba was dissatisfied, she was very sophisticated and did not have a face-to-face conflict with Takigawa Kazumasu. She did not have to worry too much when talking to Takenaka Shigeharu in private, revealing her dissatisfaction.
She pondered for a long time and asked Takenaka Shigeharu.
"Takenaka-hime, do you think she really wants to fight to the death with Tsuta-den here?"
Takenaka Shigeharu sighed.
"Those in power are just riding on the back of a tiger, and many times they are forced to do nothing.
Nowadays, the confrontation between Shiba Oda and Shiba Oda has become fierce. Except for the confrontation between the two masters on the main battlefield of Yuwu Lake, the fight has turned into a pot of porridge elsewhere.
Under such a situation, is there any reason for the two lords not to fight? If the two lords do not fight, how will the martial arts families in various places regard it? How can they have the courage to continue fighting?
In fact, the two lords are so helpless, don't you, a great man with a fortune of 120,000 dan, slowly taste the helplessness?"
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded.
"Riding on the back of a tiger? What Princess Takenaka said is so inspiring that I should keep it in mind."
Takenaka Shigeharu said again.
"Originally, there was still the possibility of hesitation in the main hall, but now, it is no longer possible."
Hideyoshi Hashiba asked.
"Is it because of the news that just came? Sakuma Nobumori was greatly embarrassed this time. She was unexpectedly attacked by Otani Yoshitsugi and took Suzuka Pass away."
Takenaka Shigeharu sighed.
"Actually, this is not to blame Sakuma Nobunosada, the root of the trouble still lies within the main hall itself.
In order to quickly put down the Rokkaku Rebellion in Minamiomia, the main palace acquiesced to two masters, Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori, to burn, kill, and loot in Minamiomia, which offended all the local samurai families.
Originally, Minami Omi had Kenhide Kamao helping to keep things calm, but this battle at Shiba Oda put Kenhide Kamao into embarrassment.
Her daughter, Kamao Clango, is the most trusted confidant in front of the Tsudo Hall. She is in charge of Shiba Tongxindu and holds a high position of power.
How can the main hall rest assured that Kenhide Kamao holds power in the land of Minami Omi, and is he not afraid that she will incite the Minami Omi family to defect to the Shiba family?
In this war, local famous families such as Kitahata Yukyo and Isono Umasa chose the Shiba family, which made the main hall very fearful of the powerful local samurai families. Therefore, Kamao Kenhide must avoid suspicion.
Kenhide Kamao went home to retire and did not care about worldly affairs. Sakuma Nobumori's reputation in Minamiomia was far and wide, so it would be strange if nothing happened.
So I say, the root of this matter still lies with the main hall.
If the main hall hadn't gone too far in humiliating the local samurai family, why would the local samurai family be attracted to Shiba, causing the Oda leaders to never have peace.
