Faced with the fiercely approaching Luo's Nobura army, the Ii family was really scared. So, under the leadership of the three Iiya (Kondo Yasuhiro, Suzuki Shigetsu, and Tadahiko Cinuma), the Ii family held an emergency meeting.

During the meeting, with Naoto Ii, the Ii family finally reached an agreement before the Luo family's Nobura's men arrived at the city of Iiya Castle. They decided to inherit the position of the Iiya family's governor according to the requirements of Iihara Zaner, and at the same time issued a statement to support Iihara Zanere to inherit the position of Iihara Zanere.

Therefore, the first female lord in Yuanjiang Kingdom and even the entire Tokaido region was born. This situation immediately made the surrounding wealthy families stunned and even caused an undercurrent.

Indeed, since the Tojiang Kingdom has been ruled by the Imakawa family for a long time, and the Imakawa family is one of the most traditional tyrants in the Warring States Period. For these tyrants who have long maintained the traditional rule of the Imakawa family, they have not allowed their daughters to inherit the position of family governor. Now, such a precedent has suddenly appeared around them, which has really shocked them a lot.

Some people are naturally a little angry about the absurd behavior of the Jing Yi family, while others are considering whether they can pass on the position of family governor in this way without their sons? After all, the helpless way of family inheritance such as finding distant relatives or adopting adopted sons is indeed a bit heartbroken. In any case, they actually gave their family business to non-blood relatives, especially those rich families who pay special attention to maintaining their precious bloodlines, which makes them even more excited.

Of course, as a member of the Luo family, Nobura, Yamamoto Kanasuke and others naturally realized that forcing the Ii family to act would naturally have a lot of impact. So they immediately used the local intelligence cabinet system to vigorously publicize the benefits of it in various places. At the same time, in order to appease the Ii family, at the suggestion of Yamamoto Kanasuke, Imakawa Jung-rye prepared to accept the son of Naoki Ii who had not successfully inherited the position of governor of the Ii family as a small surname (this person is Naomasa of Ii in history).

However, Imakawa Jung's actions did soothe the dissatisfaction of the people of the Ii family, but also made Imakawa Jung a little amused because his child was not born yet. He didn't even know whether it was a man or a woman, so Imakawa Jung was recruited as a small surname in advance.

With the surrender of the Ii family, the Yoshida Suzuki family, who was a subordinate of the Ii family, also surrendered. Therefore, Luo's Noburo not only successfully controlled the important strategic location at the junction of the Sanhe Kingdom and the Toho River Kingdom in the plains, but also further expanded the territory in the Dongsanhe River area.

After the resettlement of the Ii family affairs, Luo's Nobura led his troops east again and headed towards the Amano Family City, the mountainous area of ​​the Yuanjiang Kingdom.

The Amano family is one of the great families of Tono country. It controls the mountainous area at the junction of the Three Rivers, Tono country and Shino country. It is one of the entrances to the Shino region enters Tono country. Although the entrance is surrounded by mountains and ridges along the way, once controlled by the Takeda family in Shino region, it will be a great threat to Tono country, so this area must be held tightly in its hands, and the Amano family must naturally solve it.

However, the Amano family was also very cunning. When they saw that their neighbors, Ichi family, surrendered to Imagawa Junichi and realized that it was the general trend that Imagawa Junichi took control of the Tojiang Kingdom, before the Luo family's Nobura's army entered its territory, they decisively sent envoys to express their support for Imagawa Junichi's successor to the Imagawa Junichi's position as the governor of the Imagawa Junichi family.

In addition, the Amano family also returned several castles including the Sino-Japanese Castle, which were originally under the jurisdiction of the Imakawa family (when Imakawa Junori appeared and declared that he was qualified to inherit the position of governor of the Imakawa family, which triggered the independence of a large number of wealthy families. Although the Amano family did not follow the trend and declared independence, they occupied these local castles).

Since the Amano family took the initiative to surrender (at this point, the entire Tomeng Kingdom has been nominally occupied by Imakawa Jungre, and most of the areas are directly controlled by the Luo family), the Luo family Nobura really couldn't find an excuse to attack the Amano family for a while, so he had to lead the army to the local castle, and then, under the guidance of Yamamoto Kazusuke, borrowed the Imakawa Jungre's identity and began to stabilize the previous local achievements in the Tomeng Kingdom and the Dongsanhe area.

With the assistance of Luo Shinoraki and others, Imakawa Jungrei took only more than a month (it was already the end of June) to fully control the Toho country so quickly and defeat the Imakawa family in Suruga Kingdom and really conquered the army, which really surprised the surrounding passion.

At Oyakuku, Oda Nobunaga, who had just returned from Kyoto, was now asking people to open all the windows, and then naked, fiddling with a sword. He had gained a lot during his previous trip to Kyoto. After learning about the situation of the Imakawa family, he even laughed at Imakawa Yoshimoto. After all, he gave birth to two sons who rarely laughed. After being happy, he had no comments, but instead fiddled with a sword.

The fiddling posture was like a child looking at the beloved toy he had just obtained. He held it with both hands and waved it with one hand. Occasionally, he went up to smell the breath of the sword. The lady (Saito Misan's daughter) stood behind Oda Nobunaga and quietly slapped him in the wind.

Unlike Noki, who has a strong personality in history, this Noki's sister seems more gentle and considerate, so she has a more harmonious relationship with Noki Oda and even gave birth to a legitimate son for Noki Oda.

"lady."

"exist."

"Imakawa Yoshimoto used this knife to cut a samurai into a cripple."

The lady nodded in surprise. In fact, it was the second time she had heard this from Oda Nobunaga. Miyoshi Suman is a skilled sword caster. He gave a two-foot-6-inch sword to the Takeda family in Kafai. Since then, this sword has been called "Suman Zuowen". When Imakawa Yoshimoto married Takeda sister Nobunaga as his wife, he took the sword from the Takeda family as a dowry, and has always been proud of it. He also brought it with him when he entered Beijing.

Did this sword make Oda Nobunaga obsessed with it? But in history, it was really a mysterious sword, its previous owner, Miyoko Sectus, died in the Battle of Ekou. Takeda Nobunaga was expelled by his eldest son. Imakawa Yoshimoto was in a different place in the middle of the Tuonaga, and then he was hidden as a spoil by Nobunaga, continuing his strange and strange experience.

"Son Sanzuo's writing, this is a gift from the Takeda family to Imakawa Yoshimoto in the name of dowry..."

"Sir, I already know." Hearing that Oda Nobunaga was about to repeat again, the lady quickly smiled and stopped the conversation.

"oh."

Oda Nobunaga turned around and looked at his wife, "Are you dissatisfied with me?"

"You are so strange. Why am I dissatisfied?" Although the lady was very clear about how to prevent Oda Nobunaga from getting angry, she deliberately asked with a stern face.

"Your thoughts are written on your face. Do you want to say that you should stop fiddling with martial arts like a child? It is better to take advantage of the opportunity to take down Mino and avenge your father." In fact, at the request of Saito Dosatsu, Oda Nobunaga so far has concealed the truth that Saito Dosatsu did not die.

"Sir, I really know how to figure out people's thoughts." Although the appearance of Masara, Nohime ran to the Luo family, and as Nohime's sister, she married Nohime Oda Nohinaga, she was also like Nohi in history, hoping that Nohinaga Oda could kill his brother Yoshiro Saito and avenge his father Dozo Saito.

"But I'm going to stop. People think I, Oda Nobunaga, will take advantage of the situation to conquer the city, but I'm not like that."

"I understand. When you march, I will always serve you tea and water."

"Madam, this martial arts sword is just a useless blunt knife."

"The famous Zong Sanzuo's writings in the world have become a dull knife today?"

"Yes. It's because it's a dull knife. Although Imakawa Yoshimoto took it and did not kill a person, he was taken away by someone. The so-called famous sword must protect the master. This martial sword not only did not protect the master, but instead killed the master's life."

The lady was unable to understand the meaning of the conversation and responded in surprise. Oda Nobunaga waved the sword like a child and burst into laughter. "Hahaha... you really want to hear it. The story of the sword is very interesting. Hahaha!"

When the lady heard this, she was silent.

"If you want to know, I will tell you. The martial sword should be tailor-made for users. If the situation is critical, the general who should ride a horse into the enemy's formation will be regretful if he wears a knife that cannot be swayed freely?"

Oda Nobunaga stared at the sword in front of him and then said, "If it were according to the history books, General Imakawa Yoshimoto, who went to war with a sword, was destined to be taken off his head from the beginning by me, Oda Nobunaga."

"Since the Lord's opinion, is this martial arts knife an inauspicious thing?"

"That is. If a martial sword does not match the power of the master, it will definitely become an unlucky obstacle. The so-called difference between a sharp knife and a dull knife is not dependent on the quality of the casting, but on the condition of the user. Do you understand?"

The lady nodded seriously. She deliberately left Oda Nobunaga time to speak like a child who needed to express her heart.

"I want to turn this dull knife into a famous knife. I'm going to call Hashisuke."

"Yes." The lady turned around, and the maid understood it. She immediately went down and called the servant Hasegawa Hashisuke. Hashisuke was a one-armed person, and he laid one arm on the ground.

"Sir, call me?"

"Remember, polish this sword to about two feet, one inch and five minutes."

"Two feet, one inch and five...what are four inch and five minutes?"

"Idiot. I want to polish this sword into a famous sword. I, Oda Nobunaga, cherish the four inches and five points and don't want to give it to the knife shop or the blacksmith shop."

"Yes, only two feet, one inch and five minutes left. Remember it."

"Also, carved on the knife: May 19th of the third year of Yonglu."

"May 19?"

"Yes. This is the time when Imakawa Yoshimoto was killed, and this sword belongs to him."

"knew."

"Then carve Oda O's Nobunaga Oda on the back of the knife. This martial arts sword will become my famous sword."

Finally, Hashisuke carefully held the words of Sozo Zuo. The wife sitting behind Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but smile. Just now, Nobunaga Oda repeatedly talked about the sword, and she was worried that he would be blinded by victory, which seemed to be a pure worry. Nobunaga Oda did not believe in the skills and level of the sword caster, but since he wanted to use this sword as a sword, he would never be deceived by the reputation of the sword caster in the world. In the final analysis, the artifact was used by people, not to drive people.

"In this war, there are only two people who can not be driven by weapons." Oda Nobunaga suddenly lay on his back on the floor and asked, "Do you know who they are?"

The lady immediately replied with a smile: "It might be Matsuhira Motoyashi and Okabe Motonobu."

The former was able to withdraw to Okazaki Castle in an orderly manner, while the latter attacked from Naruto to Kariya. Finally, he took back Imakawa Yoshimoto's head from Oda Nobunaga and then retreated smoothly. The two performed really well, and the wife said whatever she wanted.

"Hahaha, it's wrong!" Oda Nobunaga laughed loudly, as if he thought it was very interesting, and shook his head. "You didn't understand the difference between a dull knife and a sharp knife. In this battle, one of the sharp knifes was me." Oda Nobunaga opened his mouth wide and pointed at himself.

"So, what about the other one?" The lady was completely infected by Oda Nobunaga's emotions. Love couldn't help but ask.

Oda Nobunaga's charm lies in the fact that behind the seemingly game-like behavior, there is always a keen insight hidden. It is precisely because of this that the lady is gradually attracted by Oda Nobunaga and begins to admire and love her husband from the bottom of her heart.

"Do you really want to know? I might as well tell you. Okabe Motoshishi was just one of the generals of the Shinfu who were defeated in a hurry, but he fulfilled his duties as a monarch and minister, that's all. Look, wasn't he defeated by the young master Nobura under Imakawa's command this time? He escaped back to Suruga like a dog with a broken family, hahaha..."

After laughing wildly, Oda Nobunaga said again: "I was considering his loyalty and gave him the head of Imakawa Yoshimoto. If he did not show his loyalty, I might be in trouble."

"trouble?"

"I will worry about finding a place to bury the enemy generals. If I am serious, others will say that I am afraid of the Imakawa family; if I have to do it, I will be the right to betray the samurai."

"Good statement."

"So, as a commendation of Monoshima Tadaeyoshi, I sent back the head of Imakawa Yoshima. In fact, he had no strength to snatch it from me. What would people think if people saw him? Do they think that Monoshima had fulfilled Tadaeyoshi's duty, or do they think that Oda Nobunaga is afraid of powerful samurai?"

"This..." The lady deliberately frowned and looked at Oda Nobunaga, "This kind of thing is not easy to judge. Everyone is afraid of General Oda Nobunaga, because everyone says you are a terrible black-hearted general."

"Hahaha... So, Okabe's knife is half because of Imakawa Yoshimoto, and half because of me. Although it is not a blunt knife, it is not a sharp knife."

"So, who is the other sharp knife?"

"Take Chiyo."

"It's Matsuhira Motoyashi."

"This knife is so sharp that it is envious. It was when I was a child. When I said I would unify the world with him, he responded without any hesitation. His actions this time were exactly what he wanted to do, and it did not violate the slightest. I..." Oda Nobunaga's eyes narrowed and looked at the ceiling. "It seems that his daughter must be betrothed to his son."

"Doji?"

"Yes, betroth her to Chiyo Kotake, who was still in the Jun Mansion." At this time, Oda Nobunaga did not know that many Imakawa family, including Matsuhei Motoyashi's wife and children, the families of the Matsuhei family's retainers, and the children of the Luo family were controlled by Nobura.

"I don't understand. Didn't Motokara just retreat to Okazaki Castle? Is it really that powerful?"

"Haha," Oda Nobunaga smiled happily, "If I go to war with Monkaku, then your father's revenge will never be avenged. I must first attack the enemy. Mino is very close to the capital, and Monkaku has seen through my thoughts." Oda Nobunaga paused, opened his eyes wide, and suddenly stood up, "Who should I send to negotiate with Monkaku? Don't form an alliance and beat him up!"

The lady felt like she was whipped hard on her back, and she looked at her husband silently. Oda Nobunaga was not intoxicated by the victory, he was already considering the next action.

"Are you going to form an alliance with the Matsupi family?"

"If it weren't like that, your father's revenge might not be avenged."

"What if Sonokara is afraid of Imakawa's Imakawa's Wanjiang and refuses to agree to form an alliance with you? Consider it and choose the candidate to go to the mission, so that you can be sure of your loyalty."

"Smart!" Oda Nobunaga laughed, but did not scold her. "Your tone is like a dog-headed military advisor. At the beginning, if I sent an envoy and Motoyaku rejected me because he was afraid of the Shin Mansion, wouldn't he become a dull knife? It would be too much to mention. Let the envoy flatten them."

"It's so easy to deal with the Matsuhira family?"

"I mean if Yuan Kang was afraid of Jun Mansion at the beginning, he would have become a dull knife. At that time, I had a sharp knife."

The lady figured out her husband's thoughts and stopped obsessing about it. "How about sending the monkey? He was following you in the Battle of Tansanjian to fight bravely."

"Monkey...he? Oh." Oda Nobunaga suddenly grabbed the mat and slapped his knees hard, "If it were Fujiyoshiro, he would not be so overwhelmed by Motoya. The guy looked respectful on his face, but he was always thinking about making him like him..."

"Stop again!" he shouted. "Call the monkey."

"Yes." Rock Room came back to rest, responded, and ran towards the kitchen.

Fujiro rushed over quickly. He was already completely like a military advisor. As long as Oda Nobunaga said something, he would definitely give two or three opinions. Oda Nobunaga always asked him to finish speaking, scold him, and then repair Fujiro's opinions - this is what Oda Nobunaga is mean, but it is also beyond the reach of those generals who are bound by decent and etiquette.
To be continued...
