Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he was shaking all over. Facing the imperial white flag of Hachiman Taimu, she had a fierce look in her eyes and was about to explode.
As her hostility increased, a strange power burst out from Shiba Yin's body instantly.
Oda Nobunaga's face froze. For some reason, fear kept pouring out of her heart, making her body tremble uncontrollably.
She subconsciously clenched her trembling fists and gritted her teeth, not knowing what was going on. At this moment, a sound suddenly came from behind her.
She looked back and saw a Ji warrior in the crowd sitting on the ground with weak legs. His lower clothes were wet and there was a faint smell of urine.
Oda Nobunaga was instantly furious. She glanced at the queue and found that all the girls were more or less showing fear, which made her even more angry.
The powerful Oda retainers of the million-koku feudal clan were turned into a group of cowering quails by a few words of intimidation from Yoshigoshi Shiba!
The fear in Oda Nobunaga's heart was dissipated by shame and anger, she pointed at the warrior Hime on the ground and said.
"Drag her down!"
The Ji warrior didn't know what was going on, but an uncontrollable sense of fear suddenly burst out of his heart, and he actually collapsed on the spot.
If she was dragged along like this, she would not be able to behave as a human being, and her family would be ruined. With a cruel heart, she drew her sword and turned around, shouting.
"My servant is guilty!"
Then he reluctantly cuts out a cross with his awkward ribs and completes the ritual of seppuku.
Seeing the pain on her face, Lin Xiuzhen stepped out of the queue, bowed, and said.
"Please allow me to correct my mistakes."
Oda Nobunaga glanced at her coldly, and it turned out that this worthless grandson was the Lin family's Ji warrior.
"Excuse me."
"Hi!"
Lin Xiuzhen glanced behind her, and a warrior warrior came out and bowed to Oda Nobunaga, then drew his sword and cut off the seppuku head, and presented it to him with both hands.
Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said.
"Drag the body down, Lin Xiuzhen, and let the Lin family handle it yourself."
"Hi!"
The Oda family was in chaos, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned. Yoshigan Shiba was so domineering that he calmed down the Oda family headed by Oda Nobunaga with just a few words, and scared one person to the point of urinating.
Shiba Yoshigan himself was confused. He did feel that something was wrong just now. Oda Nobunaga was such a cruel person, and it was unreasonable for him to show fear towards him.
With a thought in his mind, he turned on the system and saw an icon flashing.
The First Soldier of the Warring States Period (limited to Shiba version of Owari), people who are hostile to you will be instilled with fear, and the enemy's physical and morale will decrease faster on the battlefield. The scope is limited to Owari Country.
Damn...aura of fear?
Yoshigan remembered that this was the special effect he got when he participated in the battle to pacify Oda Nobuyuki in Owari. But because he went to Luo and left Owari soon after, he never showed his power.
Just now, Oda Nobunaga had a disagreement with him, and he might have had the idea of taking action. This was determined by the system to be a battlefield, and the fear halo was activated.
No wonder some Oda retainers were frightened to death, the Oda retainers group was judged as the enemy, and all the Oda princesses present were covered by the fear halo effect.
The sudden feeling of fear caught people off guard, and the Hime warrior with poor psychological quality peed directly. It was so embarrassing and made Oda Nobunaga angry.
Yiyin smiled slightly, God helped me. Although he had the upper hand, he did not dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy.
The frightened Samurai Hime immediately committed seppuku and apologized, and the mood of Oda Nobunaga and his retainers quickly stabilized.
This shows that the special effects of this fear halo are not very powerful and can only be used as a supplementary means to undermine enemy morale on the battlefield.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga came back to his senses and was a little embarrassed. The Oda family had just peed, and it seemed a bit ridiculous for him to be tough now.
Just when Yoshigan Shiba was thinking about how to end it, and Nobunaga Oda was in a dilemma, Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was at the end of the queue, narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and walked out of the queue.
She bowed in front of Yiyin and said.
"Odaisuo, do you still remember me?"
Yiyin looked at it and smiled.
"Isn't this Hideyoshi? How could I forget you? I gave you your name."
Hideyoshi Hashiba's eyes lit up and he immediately calmed down his mood. Now was not the time to be moved, she said.
"A while ago, I made my lord angry. Maeda Toshiie-sama said some kind words for me, but who would have thought that I would actually get involved and get reprimanded by my lord.
It is all my fault that Lord Toshiie Maeda failed to come. The Shiba and Oda families have been cooperating for many years. If they break up because of this trivial matter on my part, Hideyoshi deserves death.
Imperial Office, please punish me!"
Lin Xiuzhen had just asked people to carry away the body. When she saw Hideyoshi coming out to talk, she sneered and said nothing.
The heads of the Shiba and Oda families are fighting against each other because of the big event of Shangluo. You, Hideyoshi Hashiba, a man of thousands of stones, dare to go out and make peace. Who do you think you are? I'm afraid you may even lose your life?
There were quite a few people in the crowd who had this idea, and they all showed sneers.
But they didn't know that neither Shiba Yoshigan nor Oda Nobunaga wanted to break up the conversation. The atmosphere was so tense that they really needed a step down.
Hashiba Hideyoshi decisively stepped forward and took the responsibility on himself. It seemed that he was seeking death, but in fact he was gambling on a jackpot opportunity.
Oda Nobunaga said coldly.
"Who allowed you to come out and speak on such an occasion? You are just a person with a thousand stones, and you have no right to speak here?
Didn't you listen when I scolded you last time? Inuchiyo was just trying to protect you, so I scolded you and sent you back to the county to settle down for a few days."
Shiba Yoshigan glanced at the serious Oda Nobunaga and said in annoyance.
"What's going on with Maeda Toshiie? As a retainer of Shiba, she deserves to be scolded for criticizing His Highness Oda in ruling on housework matters!"
Oda Nobunaga sighed.
"Inuchiyo is also an old man from Owari, and has a good relationship with Hideyoshi. She is a soft-hearted person, has many friends, and always speaks for others."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"She is nosy and doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. She really caused trouble for you."
Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said.
"No, no, Mr. Kenshin is too outspoken. Owari Shiba leader has a deep relationship with the Oda family, and Inuchiyo has helped me a lot in the past two years."
Yiyin smiled.
"Then you have to follow the rules. Isn't this embarrassing and causing trouble for you?"
Oda Nobunaga smiled.
"The rules are nothing more than human kindness. It was because I couldn't control my temper that I scolded her severely.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed inappropriate for you to come back to Owari without her being present. I will immediately send someone to the county to inform the governor and ask her to come and see you."
Sibo Yiyin smiled.
"I'd like to trouble you, Your Highness Oda. When she comes here, I will teach her a lesson and tell her to be more careful when doing things in the future and not to break the rules."
The two people suddenly spoke in harmony, leaving Hideyoshi aside and complimenting each other.
After a few words brought the unhappiness away, Oda Nobunaga glanced at Hideyoshi Hashiba and cursed.
"What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"
Then, she smiled and said to Yiyin.
"Mr. Qianxin, the castle tower in the city has been cleaned up. Please check in and rest."
Yiyin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Qingzhou City and said leisurely.
"Is this castle tower letting me stay?"
Oda Nobunaga's eyes flashed.
"You have a noble status, so of course you have to live in the main building."
Yiyin asked calmly.
"Is it the main hall from last time?"
"Yes, there is also a tea party prepared in the tea room."
"Is this tea serious?"
"You are joking, I have invited the best tea master in Owari to perform the tea ceremony for you."
The two of them smiled and talked, and walked farther and farther away. Tokugawa Ieyasu turned his eyes and followed.
A group of warrior princesses surrounded the three masters and moved forward, leaving Hideyoshi standing behind.
When Shibata Katsuie passed by her, he snorted coldly and said.
"Grandstanding."
Then, he walked straight away.
Takenaka Shigeharu stepped forward and whispered to Hideyoshi Hashiba.
"It was too dangerous just now. The momentum of the Imperial Palace is as shocking as a wild beast. How dare you come out to make peace between the two masters?"
Hideyoshi Hashiba said in surprise.
"Really? Why don't I feel it?"
Takenaka was also stunned. She felt her hands were still shaking slightly. Why was Hideyoshi Hashiba not affected at all?
If Shiba Yiyin were here, he would be even more surprised. Because the target of the halo activation is the enemy on the battlefield who is hostile to him.
The opportunity to launch the attack just now was that Oda Nobunaga had the idea of starting a war. The system determined that this place was a battlefield and the Oda family was the enemy.
If Hideyoshi Hashiba is not affected, it means that she is not hostile to him.
The Oda retainers are more or less hostile to Shiba Yoshigan, and those who are too hostile will even commit suicide on the spot. Hideyoshi Hashiba is not hostile at all. Why is this?
Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the team getting further and further away, and was also thinking about something. Takenaka Shigeharu followed her gaze and said.
"It's still too dangerous. Although it's brilliant that you just came out to make peace, the risk is too great.
If the main hall insists on fighting the imperial court to the end, you will have to commit suicide by committing suicide."
Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled and said to his military advisor.
"Takenaka-hime, you are wrong this time. I concluded that the lord must not want to break with the imperial government, so he came out to make peace."
Takenaka Shigeharu thought for a moment, couldn't figure it out, and said.
"Please clarify my doubts."
Hashiba Hideyoshi said with complicated eyes and melancholy tone.
"Although you are extremely intelligent, you don't understand the palace's thoughts. But I know that she will never break with Yutai.
Didn’t you notice? She never called Odaisuo from the beginning to the end, she always called her Lord Kenshin..."
After saying that, Hashiba Hideyoshi walked forward silently to catch up with the queue that had gone away.
Behind her, Takenaka Shigeharu squinted his eyes and thought about the difference between Odaisho and Kenshin Gong.
The Odaisho represents Yoshigan Shiba's identity as Ashikaga Yoshiteru's fiancé, and Kenshin-Kong represents Yoshigan Shiba's identity as the governor of the Shiba family.
Oda Nobunaga has been calling Kenshin Gong, which means that she is unwilling to call Odaisho, and she resents Yoshigan Shiba's status as the fiancé of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Her love for Spo Yiyin...
Takenaka Shigeharu's eyes narrowed, he understood something, and couldn't help but sigh.
The advent of what love is.
She looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi's retreating back, somewhat admiring this Lord. It was amazing that she could detect Oda Nobunaga's thoughts from such a subtle angle.
Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't know what Takenaka Shigeharu thought of her behind her. She was biting her lower lip and walking forward, her eyes moist.
It turns out that you still remember me, and you have not forgotten me, this humble servant.
I am so happy.
———
That night, Oda Nobunaga leaned on the porch and looked at the castle tower, thinking about something on his mind.
After the welcome ceremony, the main building was occupied by Shiba Yoshigan. She retreated to the outer building and carefully thought about today's events. Only then did she realize that she had been tricked by Maeda Toshiie.
From the moment Toshiie Maeda persuaded her to write a letter to welcome Yoshihiro Shiba's return, she was destined to lose, because Yoshihiro Shiba did not need the help of the Oda family.
Oda Nobunaga was too arrogant and thought he was making a choice between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan. Whoever he supported would have the upper hand.
But today, when he had a head-to-head confrontation with Shiba Yoshigan, Oda Nobunaga discovered that his arrogance was being used by Maeda Toshiie. This was not the case at all.
The reality is that as long as the Oda family does not block Yoshigan Shiba's return, he does not need to wait for the Hokurikudo port to melt and open, and can quickly return to Kojima through the Tokaido.
As for the most important time difference between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga when they cooperated to go to Raku, it could not be used.
Because for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his group, it's not that they can't find anyone to help them climb to Luo, but they can't find anyone to help them complete the climb before Yoshigan Shiba comes back.
Time is the key.
Oda Nobunaga was bewitched by the words of a fellow member of the Maeda Toshiie family, and wrote a letter to welcome Yoshiba Shiba's return, which helped Yoshiba Shiba earn the most important time.
The Oda family could have refused to allow Yoshigan Shiba to cross the border. As long as they had a tough attitude, they could have given up the idea of Yoshigan Shiba returning from the Tokaido.
But as soon as Oda Nobunaga wrote the letter, the position of the Oda family became ambiguous.
Maeda Toshiie took advantage of Oda Nobunaga's attitude to persuade Oda's retainers to waver and no longer be able to firmly reject the Shiba family.
Yoshigan Shiba has arrived, and he was invited back by Oda Nobunaga himself. Can she drive him back? Or imprison him?
This is impossible!
Ashikaga Yoshiteru died in the battle, leaving a gold seal waiting for Shiba Yoshigan to take. Shiba Yoshigan went to Luoyang holding the imperial white flag of Hachiman Taimu, and in the name of the direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, he avenged his lord and his wife.
He is the real direct descendant of Kawachi Genji. What reason did Oda Nobunaga use to detain him?
Today, when the two of them had a confrontation, Tokugawa Ieyasu remained silent and watched Oda Nobunaga's embarrassment with cold eyes, which speaks volumes.
Even if Oda Nobunaga wanted to capture Shiba Yoshigan quickly, how could he defeat the opponent's 150 elite horseback warriors with two horses fully armed?
The attitude of the Oda retainers group became wavering because of Maeda Toshiie, and it was difficult for Oda Nobunaga to force them to make up their minds and break with Shiba Yoshigan.
The tough confrontation between Oda Nobunaga and Shiba Yoshigan also triggered battlefield effects due to hostility, releasing the fear aura on Yoshigan.
Before the Oda family could get hard, someone would urinate first, which was very demoralizing. Moreover, Oda Nobunaga found that he no longer had the confidence to fall out.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's attitude is ambiguous. If the Bank of Japan returns to Mikawa Country and Oda Nobunaga crosses the border to attack, will Tokugawa Ieyasu be double-dealing?
Oda Nobunaga knew that his wishful thinking was completely shattered by Shiba Yoshigan. Shiba Yoshigan was in the Oda family's Qingsu Castle, but he could make Oda Nobunaga feel like a stick in his throat and a thorn in his back.
