Oda Nobunaga made things difficult for Akechi Mitsuhide by saying that a loyal minister would not serve the two masters, but Akechi Mitsuhide blocked the words by saying that it would only be a male and a female.
Although this proverb sounds childish, it does make sense. Akechi Mitsuhide was so smooth that he jumped out of the endless cycle of disloyalty and injustice.
You, Oda Nobunaga, insisted on placing an undercover agent in Shiba's house, and you were even severely punished by Maeda Toshiie for this. What was it for? Isn't it because you are greedy for Shiba Yoshiyin!
Since Akechi Mitsuhide saw through this, he tried to trick his father and mistress into words, and there was no problem in being loyal to both of them, which even made Oda Nobunaga very happy.
she said sincerely.
"Jin Duoden is a strange man from the Wu family, unparalleled in splendor and unparalleled in the world. His only regret is that he is a man.
If Jindo-den is a woman, and I have been greatly favored by your Majesty, I will repay it with death!
Even if my opponent is a hero like you, Lord Oda, who appears only once every five hundred years, I will fight to the end for you!
However, Tsuta-den is born as a man, and the Shiba family has no heirs. In my own opinion, although the world is large, you are the only one who can be worthy of Tsuta-den's Hime Samurai.
The Oda and Shiba families are not enemies. Tsuta-dono himself was born in Owari, and he and Oda-dono were childhood sweethearts since childhood.
You said that loyal ministers do not serve two masters, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. But I think that the case of Shiba Oda is an exception.
Rural slang is rude, but its connotations are in line with the laws of nature and human desires.
As the old saying goes, when yin and yang are harmonious, everything will be peaceful. I believe that returning to peace in troubled times also requires the harmony of yin and yang, so that long-term peace and stability can be achieved and chaos will no longer occur.
Your Majesty Oda, what do you think?"
Mitsuhide Akechi hints at every turn that he hopes Shiba and Oda will join forces. What does Oda Nobunaga think? He pats his thighs to pieces and agrees!
Originally, Oda Nobunaga only coveted Yoshigami Shiba's beauty, body, and family fortune, and tried to conquer his body and mind again to satisfy his own selfish desires.
But being beautified by Mitsuhide Akechi, it seemed that the world must return to order through the marriage of Shiba and Oda, which immediately made Oda Nobunaga's face bright and filled with a sense of mission to save the world.
Oda Nobunaga scolded him with a straight face and hypocrisy.
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm married, and Tsudo-don is the widow of an ancestor. It's impossible for the two of us!"
After hearing this, Akechi Mitsuhide was even more angry than Oda Nobunaga and said angrily.
"According to your wishes, my lord, at such a young age, has to live as a widow for the sake of the immoral and incompetent Ashikaga Shogun family? What will happen to the continuation of the Shiba family?
In the world of the Wu family, is there any unscrupulous reason to force a famous family to eliminate heirs? Moreover, do you think your own marriage is more important, or the peace of the world?
Foreign ministers are not being careful today, but they must speak more impartially. If you really have the ambition to save the world, you should think more about the righteousness of all the people in the world, and don't get hung up on the insignificant personal virtues of your husband and wife!
Or maybe I, Akechi Mitsuhide, have misunderstood and you have no ambition to revolutionize the world, it’s just my wishful thinking!"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked excited, while Oda Nobunaga was embarrassed. They acted seriously in person, but they were happy in their hearts, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Oda Nobunaga sighed helplessly and patted his head.
"I'm in danger now, my general hates me, my allies betray me, who knows if this head will still be on my neck tomorrow?
Let’s not mention those things about the future that you mentioned for the time being. It’s okay not to mention them.”
Mitsuhide Akechi bowed and apologized.
"I'm very sorry. The foreign minister was too impulsive and it was really rude.
It is not an accident that His Highness Oda reformed the shortcomings, and the traitors were afraid and blocked it. I believe that you will be able to turn the evil into good luck and climb to greater heights."
Oda Nobunaga said affectionately.
"You are a close relative of Mr. Nong, and we are our own people. Don't talk like a foreign minister and appear alienated."
Akechi Mitsuhide said in shame.
"Some of what I said today is actually because I feel sorry for Mr. No. But when necessary, I will definitely persuade Mr. No. to consider the common people in the world and not to embarrass His Highness Oda."
Oda Nobunaga seemed angry, and repeatedly emphasized the necessity of the Shiba-Oda merger to Akechi Mitsuhide, saying that he would not listen or listen.
In fact, she had already been overjoyed in her heart, and when she saw Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes, she became even gentler.
Akechi Mitsuhide also restored her usual elegant smile. She knew in her heart that she had successfully passed the trust barrier of Oda Nobunaga.
As a revolutionary-minded colleague, she supported the merger of Shiba and Oda. She could help Oda Nobunaga monitor Kyoto and keep an eye on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Nogun relatives. Oda Nobunaga had no reason not to reuse her.
At the same time, Akechi Mitsuhide also embarked on an extremely dangerous path. As Oda Shiba's double-faced man, he walked the tightrope every day, and if he was not careful, he would be shattered to pieces.
Yoshigan Shiba knew Akechi Mitsuhide's thoughts, but other important Shiba ministers could not tolerate it. Even if everyone believed that she was enduring humiliation for the Shiba family, they might not take the opportunity to get rid of her.
After all, she is a candidate for marriage with a ticket to Spo's stock exchange. The love scene is like a battlefield, and there is no sense in a zero-sum game.
Oda Nobunaga stared at Akechi Mitsuhide's pretty face for a while and suddenly said.
"Mingzhiji, you are quite old now. Since you and I are relatives, why not let me help you find a marriage."
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes trembled and he sighed.
"In my early years, I wandered around the world and saw the horrors of troubled times, so I swore an oath that I would never get married if the world was unrest.
Therefore, I am very sorry, but I have no choice but to decline your kindness.
When His Majesty Oda brings peace to the world, I would like to ask you to point out a good marriage for me so that the name of the Akechi family can continue forever."
Oda Nobunaga laughed and said.
"That's good. At that time, I will not only find you a good husband, but I will also ensure that you live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, blessings for generations to come, and protection for future generations."
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed.
"Thank you, His Highness Oda. We have agreed now. You must keep your word."
"Hahaha, count, count."
The two looked at each other and smiled, seemingly intimate, but Mitsuhide Akechi sighed in his heart.
A perfect performance left a flaw after all. Oda Nobunaga was too concerned about the fact that Shigeomi Shiba was not married, and proposing a marriage proposal for Akechi Mitsuhide was today's last test.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide used his oath to evade the marriage and wanted to wait until the world was at peace before getting married, this reason was actually difficult to hold.
The Wu family is not the warriors of the Celestial Dynasty. They pay attention to why the Huns are not destroyed. The Wu family attaches the most importance to the inheritance of the family business.
The Akechi family was wiped out by Saito Yoshiryu, and Akechi Mitsuhide, a single figure, is now considered successful. The most important thing for her to do is to get married and have a daughter, and to find an heir to live up to her ancestors.
But she just resisted and refused to form a relationship. How could we not make Oda Nobunaga suspicious?
This is also the state in which most of the Ji warriors who are obsessed with Shiba Yigan exist. Shiba Yigan, who covets the immortals, naturally has no interest in the vulgarity of the world.
Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to care at this time, but a question mark must have been left in her heart, preventing Akechi Mitsuhide from completely gaining her trust.
Akechi Mitsuhide lamented that the success fell short, but she really couldn't compromise on this matter.
She only loved Sibo Yiyin in her life, but for her own ideals, she actually pushed her beloved into the abyss and came up with the extremely chaotic strategy of occupying the magpie's nest.
As a result, she was tortured by her conscience day and night, and she almost went crazy. The more she hated herself, the more she became obsessed with Shiba Yiyin. How could she be willing to sleep with other men?
Akechi Mitsuhide's last obsession left Oda Nobunaga with a trace of doubt. After all, he failed to do his best today, so there was nothing he could do about it.
———
One day flies by in an instant.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide regretted having flaws, she finally gained Oda Nobunaga's trust and took a successful step.
One day was short, and the Koga people were unable to find out the specific movements of the Asai family, but there was no doubt that there were abnormal movements near Aifa Pass.
After receiving the confirmation, Oda Nobunaga no longer hesitated and directly concluded the news of Asai Nagamasa's betrayal in the military meeting, which shocked the ladies.
As an ally daimyo, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was sitting in the second seat, looked moved but remained calm and silent.
Oda Nobunaga stared at her face and said sincerely.
"It's because I didn't know people well and didn't see clearly the true face of Asai Nagamasa, a white-eyed wolf, and caused His Highness Tokugawa to fall into danger with me. I'm really sorry."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said in a deep voice.
"Sister Master Ji, what are you talking about? How can it implicate you and me because of our friendship? It is clearly Asai Nagamasa who is unjust, what does it have to do with you?
After we evacuate safely, we will settle the score with this treacherous person!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu was a sensible person. She knew that it was useless to blame Oda Nobunaga at this time. The two sides had to work closely together to escape.
What's more, the Tokugawa family's Mikawa and Tokugawa are always threatened by the Takeda family. Tokugawa Ieyasu needs the powerful Oda family to endorse the Tokugawa family and provide security guarantee.
This is why she responds to requests like a caring little girl and always actively participates in the Oda family's foreign expeditions.
To get along with a utilitarian like Oda Nobunaga, if you want to gain her friendship, you must reflect your own value.
Fortunately, the Mikawa Princess samurai is very brave, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is also a sensible person. The cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant so far.
Tokugawa Ieyasu affectionately called Oda Nobunaga by his nickname, just to reassure Oda Nobunaga that I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, am also on your side this time. You don't have to worry about my betrayal, and we can run away together.
But she was still worried that Oda Nobunaga would lose his mind with anger, so she faintly said to escape from the encirclement first, and then go back to settle accounts with Asai Nagamasa.
Oda Nobunaga said movedly.
"Sister Takechiyo said it right. When I go back, Nagamasa Asai will definitely pay the price for his stupid betrayal!"
Oda Nobunaga spoke with gritted teeth, but the military discussion scene was deserted and depressing.
It's not that easy to run away at this time.
The Asakura family's 20,000-strong army has been assembled and is facing the Oda family's battle line. Behind them is Aifa Pass, and Asai's army may move north at any time, cutting off the Oda family's retreat to Wakasa Country.
Oda Nobunaga had to go quickly if he wanted to leave, and he had to retreat quickly before Asai's army left the border.
First, she had to leave enough men behind to prevent the Asakura family from pursuing her.
The Wu family's military force is very poorly organized, and a hasty retreat can easily lead to a crushing defeat, so the troops must be left behind to block the attack for a few days. Most of the troops that block the attack will be wiped out.
Secondly, Wakasa Country was captured by the Oda family just now, and the local samurai family was only intimidated by the military force, and did not have a monarch-subordinate agreement or loyalty to Oda Nobunaga.
It's okay that the Oda family is in a good situation. Once they retreat in embarrassment, the local samurai will probably follow them and beat up the fallen dog to please Asakura Yoshikage.
Oda Nobunaga was not afraid of these Wakasa samurai, but he was worried that if he was delayed for a few days, it would be troublesome for the Asakura army behind him to catch up.
Finally, the Oda army had to pass through the Kitanomi Takashima County of the Asai family before it could withdraw to Kyoto. It was always unsafe until it passed through Sakamoto Castle controlled by the Oda family.
If these three difficulties are not dealt with properly, it may lead to a collapse and even the death of Oda Nobunaga himself.
Oda Nobunaga glanced at the scene and said.
"Our army is retreating, and someone must be stationed at Kanazaki Castle to stop the enemy."
She only said half a sentence, and then stopped talking, but the meaning was clear to all the concubines.
Who wants to stay and die?
The Oda family business is on the upswing, and there are a lot of military achievements waiting for Zhu Ji to get it. Who wants to be stuck in this life-or-death business halfway?
As Oda Nobunaga spoke, he scanned the audience.
While the girls were silent, Takenaka Shigeharu, who was sitting in the back row, pinched Hashiba Hideyoshi next to him. The force was so strong that Hideyoshi couldn't help but grin.
As soon as the two people's eyes touched, they both saw the blazing fire in each other's eyes. The king and his ministers had a clear understanding, and the opportunity to soar into the sky was right before their eyes.
The eye contact seemed to take a long time, but in fact it was only a moment. Hideyoshi Hashiba had already stepped out of the queue, bowed, and shouted loudly.
"I, Hideyoshi Shiba, would like to share the worries of the palace!"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on this petite warrior Hime. Hideyoshi was neither humble nor arrogant at this time, straightening his back and looking straight ahead.
Oda Nobunaga did not expect that before he finished speaking, and just as he was about to choose someone to die, someone would jump out to seek death. That person was Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was always known for his cleverness and tact.
Zhu Ji also did not expect that this small two thousand stone land would actually jump out. If she had not held the position of garrison in Kyoto, this little person would not be qualified to sit here and discuss military matters with Zhu Ji.
Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands and said.
"Okay! You have to guard Kanazaki Castle for three days to ensure that the army leaves before abandoning the city. Is there any problem?"
"Go back to the main hall, no!"
"You have too few people. I will allocate you an elite reserve team of 200 people."
"Thank you, Hall!"
Niwa Nagahide on the side felt a little guilty when he saw Hideyoshi Hashiba's heroic appearance.
She was a die-hard loyalist to Oda Nobunaga, but she failed to jump out immediately to share his worries. Instead, Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was always regarded as slippery and weak, took the lead.
Thinking about how I, as Hideyoshi Hashiba's old boss, could not bear to see her dying, I spoke.
"Hideyoshi, I will assign fifty elites from my headquarters to you. You must come back alive."
Although Shibata on the side had always disliked Hideyoshi Hashiba, at this time everyone was an old minister of Owari, and Niwa Nagahide expressed that it was not easy for her, the leader of the Owari generals, to do nothing.
So, she said.
"I will also transfer fifty elites from my headquarters to you. Come on."
