Soon, Ando Mamoru withdrew from Inabayama Castle, and Isshiki Yoshiryu returned to the castle, but she was not held accountable for the crime of civil strife.
Under the prying eyes of the external threat of the Oda family, both parties tacitly forgot about the capture of the city, as if it had never happened.
Ando Mamoru outsmarted the counselors of Inabayama Castle, and Takenaka Shigeharu entrusted the Takenaka family to his sister, while he retreated and disappeared without a trace.
———
The civil strife in Mino ended in an anticlimactic manner. When the news reached Owari, Oda Nobunaga beat his chest and felt very angry.
It was because she couldn't calm down and wrote to Ando Mamoru that the Mino samurai family quickly united and suppressed the civil strife.
Stealing the chicken but losing the rice can only blame myself for being troublesome, helplessly watching Isshiki Yoshiryu adjust his strategy. He gave up the Omi expansion and began to fight against the invasion from the direction of Owari.
Under her counterattack, the progress of the Oda family towards East and West Mino came to a standstill, and for a time the border between the two families was in a stalemate.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga received a letter asking for help from Mikawa Matsudaira Motoyasu, and Mikawa was in trouble.
After Matsudaira Motoyasu reached an alliance with Oda Nobunaga, he prepared his army and planned to take advantage of the civil strife in the Imagawa family to capture Higashi Mikawa.
The Matsudaira family's base is Nishi Mikawa. As long as they capture Higashi Mikawa, they will have enough strategic buffer to fight against the Imagawa family.
Even if the Imagawa family really wants to swallow up Nishi Mikawa and use the Matsudaira family's territory to buy the Imagawa retainers group.
Matsudaira Motoyasu also had enough time and space to stop the Imagawa family and ask for help from the Oda family.
Since ancient times, the three rivers in the East and West have done their own thing.
The Nishi Mikawa River irrigates the Okazaki Plain with the Yahagi River. The Matsudaira family started from Okazaki Castle in the core of the plain, fighting against the Imagawa family in the east and the Oda family in the west.
The Toyohashi Plain in Higashi Mikawa started as an alluvial plain in the Toyokawa Basin. It has its own origin as the Okazaki Plain, and is separated from the east and west by hills.
The agriculture of Sanhe Country is developed, the fishery in Sanhe Bay facing the sea is prosperous, and the vast Sanhe Plateau in the north is home to the excellent species of Sanhe Horse.
Although the stone height is only 290,000 stone, it is a wealthy place. The strong Mikawa horse and the fierce Mikawa Princess warrior are also famous all over the world.
With the support of the Oda family, Matsudaira Motoyasu is gearing up, vowing to unify Mikawa and achieve something great.
Just when she was ready to take action, Xiang Yikui exploded.
The religious belief in Xisanhe was originally the territory of the Tiantai Sect, but the Yixiang Sect came to dominate later.
During the period of Matsudaira Motoyasu's mother and Matsudaira Hirotada, the Ichixiang sect had already established the Mikawa and Three Temples system, with Benzhengji Temple, Sanggongji Temple, and Shengren Temple as the backbone, and gathered a large number of believers.
The most troublesome thing is that a large number of Mikawa Princess warriors turned to the Ichibuki Sect, shaking the foundation of the Matsudaira family.
Matsudaira Hirotada had no choice but to grant Mikawa and Sanji Temple the privilege of guardianship, and gave up the tax burden on the fields under the name of the three temples and the law enforcement rights within the temple.
Since then, Yixiang Zongsan Temple has become a country within the country of Sanhe Kingdom, and no one can rule it anymore.
When Matsudaira Motoyasu came to power, although she was annoyed, she knew very well that she was not strong enough to fight against the three temples, so she reluctantly tolerated Ichizong.
Who knew that she didn't want to cause trouble, but Xiang Zong took action first.
Under the edict of Honganji Temple, Ichigo Ichiku swept across Nishi Mikawa in an instant, making Matsudaira Motoyasu shocked and tried to suppress it with all his strength.
However, there are a large number of Hime warriors in the Matsudaira retainers group who believe in the Ichigo sect, and they are struggling in pain.
Some defected to the Ichikuzu, and some insisted on standing with the Matsudaira family. Even the retainers who had followed the Matsudaira family for several generations were inevitably divided within the family, and Nishi Mikawa suddenly fell into chaos.
Matsudaira Motoyasu himself could not distinguish between friend and foe, so he had no choice but to hold on to Okazaki Castle. Seeing the flames of war all over Nishi Mikawa, he had no choice but to ask for help from Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga should have been happy when he received Matsudaira Motoyasu's letter asking for help.
She had received the notice from the Nichiren sect a long time ago and was very aware of Mikawa's behavior. She was waiting for these nuns to cause trouble for Matsudaira Motoyasu to prevent her from rapidly growing in strength.
But she had been waiting for this for a long time. Seeing the chaos all over Mikawa, she was also frightened.
The destructive power of Ichikui completely exceeded Oda Nobunaga's expectation, making her wary of the Ichiko clan.
She then sincerely wanted to help Matsudaira Motoyasu to prevent the situation from getting out of control and involving herself.
Oda Nobunaga did not want Matsudaira Motoyasu to be too powerful, but he could not accept that she would be overthrown by Ichigo, making Mikawa Country once again a threat behind Owari.
The question now is, who to send?
The Mino strategy is at a critical juncture. All the resources of the Oda family are moving closer to the Mino border and hoarding, and they are unable to take care of the direction of Mikawa Country.
Oda Nobunaga wanted to rescue Matsudaira Motoyasu, but also did not want to delay the Mino strategy, so he was immediately caught in a dilemma.
She summoned the samurai clan directly under her to come and discuss matters at the castle tower of Komakiyama Castle, her new home city.
At this time, the Meinong strategy already had a clear division of labor.
Shibata Katsuie led a large number of Oda retainers to encroach on Higashi Mino in Inuyama Castle.
Oda Nobunaga led the Naomi Regiment at Komakiyama Castle and faced Inabayama Castle. With the help of Sumamata Castle built by Kinoshita Hideyoshi in Nishi Mino, he penetrated a wedge.
The group of direct ministers who came to attend the meeting were mainly divided into three parties.
One is Niwa Nagahide's faction who is responsible for Oda Nobunaga's internal affairs.
The second one is Oda Nobunaga's direct subordinate Ma Hui, and the mother-in-law group headed by Ikeda Tsuneaki and Takigawa Kazumasu.
The third one is Mori Katsunari and Kawajiri Hidetaka, the generals who commanded the military directly under Oda Nobunaga.
These people are all close associates of Oda Nobunaga. She rules the Oda family and controls the basic structure of Owari Kingdom.
When she explained that Mikawa always kept chaos in check, Zhuji also frowned.
It's not difficult to deal with the Ichikai clan of the Mikawa Kingdom, but the troublesome ones are the Mikawa Princess warriors who join the Ichikai clan.
The Mikawa Princess warriors are said to be famous for their bravery, but in fact they are more famous for their stubbornness. These guys are stubborn!
At that time, Imagawa Yoshimoto was very powerful and dominant in Tokaido.
But she also treated Nishi Mikawa's Matsudaira family in a gentle way, making Matsudaira Hirotada a puppet and holding Matsudaira Motoyasu as a hostage daughter.
Why go through such troublesome circles? Just because the Mikawa Princess samurai is stubborn! They only recognize the Matsudaira family, and there is nothing that Imagawa Yoshimoto can do.
Either kill all these idiots, or wait for the opportunity to capture Xisanhe in one fell swoop.
Before the attack on Okehazama, Imagawa Yoshimoto was almost successful in annexing Nishi Mikawa. However, he lost his life in a surprise attack. The Imagawa family subsequently suffered from civil strife, and many years of planning were ruined.
Oda Nobunaga always wanted to send people to Mikawa to help suppress Matsudaira Motoyasu. How could the samurai under her command not be afraid?
Those wooden fish heads in Mikawa who are blessed by faith are not easy to deal with Ji warriors.
All the samurai bowed their heads and remained silent. Oda Nobunaga was irritable and about to get angry. Niwa Nagahide bowed and said.
"Your Highness, why don't you let Lord Toshiie Maeda give it a try?"
