Chapter 1052 Oda Nobunaga's chess

In the hall of Okazaki Castle.︾

When Matsuhira Motoyasu heard Kizaki Shigetachi ask when he would go to Qingzhou City, he immediately glanced at the retainers and whispered: "I really have no time to think about this matter recently. It will not be too late to let you know about it. It is not too late to set a day at will, and Nobunaga Jun is also very busy. Go back and ask him when he has free time and discuss it with me. Is that good?"

What else could Kizao Shigetachi say after hearing this? So he had to agree, but he knew that after returning to Qingzhou City, he would definitely be scolded by his lord Oda Nobunaga. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of his real lord, Masaru Luo, who had risen. In comparison, no matter the Matsuhei Motoyasu in front of him or the Oda Nobunaga in Qingzhou City, he could not compare with his real lord Luo's Masaru!

After seeing that Kizao Shigetachi agreed with Matsuhei Motoyaku's opinion, the retainers of the Matsuhei family were relieved. Of course, some of them would still continue to be afraid. They always believed that Matsuhei Motoyaku should not easily agree to go to Kiyosu City; but that was a future matter after all, and an unconditional alliance was achieved in front of them, and the result was absolutely impeccable.

Next, Matsuhira Motoyao took Kizaki Shigetaki to leisurely inspect Okazaki Castle. The two visited the city, Nido Castle, Shikikura, Yonekura, and Arsenal. This arrangement has two meanings. One meaning is that Matsuhira Motoyao did not take the Oda family seriously at all; the other meaning is that Matsuhira Motoyao had no concealment from Oda Nobunaga and wanted to tell Oda Nobunaga through Kizaki Shigetaki that the Matsuhira family had no intention of invading the Oda family.

After passing three doors, Matsuhira Motokazu pointed at the distance with his fan, "That was at the residence of Mrs. Huaqingyuan, the stepmother." Kizuo Chongtaki said "Oh" and then stopped.

Kizuna Shigetaki was very clear about how the family of Mrs. Hua Keiyuan's family was almost destroyed by the Matsuhira family who was supposed to be sent to Junfu's mansion and sold it to Ozawa as a hostage. It is said that this family was almost destroyed by the Matsuhira family that was revenge. Later, after a person who escaped took control of the Mikawa Kingdom in the Imagawa family, he received help from Imagawa Yoshimoto (actually Imagawa Yoshimoto hoped to monitor the Matsuhira family through this family), and this family was the Toda family who had surrendered to the Toei Imagawa Store where the young master Luo family Nobura was located.

Matsuhira Motoyashi naturally didn't know that Kizao Shigetachi was so clear about the history of his family, so he continued to introduce: "I want Mrs. Huaqingyuan to spend her quiet and peaceful old age. She is very important to me."

"Oh? Sir, are you not going to punish their family's injustice?" Kizuo Shigetachi asked in confusion after hearing this. You know, with the death of Imakawa Yoshimoto, the family lost its shelter. Now the Toda family has defected to its own young master. As long as Matsuhei Motoyasu kills the princess who is still staying in Matsuhei's family (that is, Matsuhei Motoyasu's stepmother), it will make the Toda family hate the Matsuhei family, and at the same time, it will rely more on its own young master.

"I was indeed angry about this. But if this happened, what will happen to me and Nobunaga Jun first meet? The gods have their own arrangements in the dark, which is beyond the reach of human wisdom." Matsuhei Motoyashi's expression was serious and serious at this time.

"My mind is really admirable!" Since Matsuhira Motoyasu said so, it is natural that Kizunaki Shigetachi will not be able to continue provoking it.

Afterwards, Kizao Shigetachi attended the banquet to welcome the envoys in the hall of Okazaki Castle, and rushed back to Kiyokun Castle to report to Oda Nobunaga. As he expected, although an agreement was reached with Matsuhei Motoyashi, the time for Matsuhei Motoyashi to go to Kiyokun Castle was not yet determined. So Kizao Shigetachi was naturally scolded.

Of course, Kitaki Shigetaki, who had long been accustomed to Oda Nobunaga's personality and way of doing things, naturally had no complaints. Instead, he set out to return to Takuai City, preparing to continue to be busy with the alliance between the Oda family and the Matsuhei family.

As for Oda Nobunaga himself, after scolding Kizao Shigetachi, he quietly thought about it in the evaluation room. The reason why he planned to form an alliance with Matsuhei Motoyaku was for the great cause of the world in his heart.

There are several enemies he needs to face to complete his great cause in the world, the most important of which are the Imakawa family, the Saito family, and the Takeda family.

At present, although the Imakawa family has been divided into two Surugawa Imakawa and Tomeng Imakawa families, their strengths are not bad either, especially the Tomeng Imakawa family, which has grown wildly recently. Less than a year after Imakawa Yoshimoto's death, his territory has extended to the border of the Oda family's sphere of influence.

As for the Saito family, since Saito Yoshiro plotted to rebel and robbed the position of the family governor of his father-in-law Saito Dozomi, Saito Yoshiro has been planning to invade Ou Nakaku. Fortunately, there have been rumors that Saito Yoshiro was ill and could not continue to handle family affairs. Although this rumor has not been confirmed so far, Saito Yoshiro has indeed not threatened to Ou Nakaku again.

Compared with the Imakawa family and the Saito family, in Oda Nobunaga's view, the Takeda family poses the greatest threat to Ohashi.

Takeda Shingen has fought several major battles with Nagao Masato from Kawaakashima, Shinshu, in the past few years. This war has gathered all the intelligence manpower, but in Oda Nobunaga's view, it is a war without any victory or defeat.

Although I don’t know how long the two of them will continue to fight, one day, even if the winner is inseparable, one side, or even both sides will intentionally withdraw their troops. In Oda Nobunaga’s view, the reason why Takeda Shingen retreated was because there was something more urgently needed to do than fighting Shinshu Kawaakashima, that is, to go to Luo to dominate the world. This is what Takeda Shingen’s real intention is. Takeda Shingen’s ambition can also be seen from his arrangements in Shinshu.

Once Takeda Shingen decides to go to Luo, the most likely way he will take is Mino. Takeda Shingen can be said to be the best-in-combat master in the Warring States, and his knowledge is quite different from ordinary people. Moreover, if Takeda Shingen follows the route of Yukiso and Hitoshi sweeping over to Mino, even the Imakawa family in Tokaido may be threatened by him. In this way, Okazaki Matsuhei Motoyashi behind the Imakawa family... Yes, in this case, whether Matsuhei Motoyashi is willing or not, he will definitely become a person in the Takeda family like the last time he became the striker of the Imakawa family, and then he will rush from Mikawa to Ozawa to restrain the Oda family. If things really evolve to this point, then the Oda family will be completely passive.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga's current strategy is to have a good talk with Matsuhei Motoyashi in the city of Cheongshu no matter what. Now Oda Nobunaga has understood that his ambition to dominate the world in Luo River is quite large, so he must have a detailed layout.

If possible, Oda Nobunaga certainly hopes to form an alliance with Matsuhei Motoyashi. If Matsuhei Motoyashi can understand his ambitions and help him at this time, things will be much easier... As long as Matsuhei Motoyashi can firmly stick to the direction of Tokaido, so that Takeda and Imakawa cannot move, Oda Nobunaga can safely use Ohashi as the base area and move towards Komakiyama north of Kiyosu Castle and the south of Inuyama Castle, and truly implement the plan to attack Mino.

Moreover, if he can form an alliance with Matsuhei Motoyashi, Takeda Shingen would not rashly send troops to attack Mino, because Matsuhei Motoyashi's location could also threaten the Imakawa family and the Takeda family at the same time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Oda family will obtain Mino as soon as possible to enter Kyoto and block the Takeda family's access to Mino. This is Oda Nobunaga's far-reaching plan, and this is also his chess arrangement!

However, things will never go so smoothly. Just as Oda Nobunaga was thinking about his layout, his close servant Hasegawa Hashisuke hurried in to report:

"Lord, the guest from Onoya, Castle Town, has urgent matters to ask for a meeting."

"Oh, please!" Oda Nobunaga immediately ordered after hearing this. The so-called "the guest of Onoya" refers to the envoy of Saito Dosan who was hiding in the hidden father-in-law Saito Dosan was stationed in the Shishima Town of the Castle of the Kiyosu Castle in order to contact Oda Nobunaga in time.

"Sir, this is an emergency letter sent by the lord suddenly!" When Saito Dozo's messenger came in, he directly sent a letter to Oda Nobunaga.

After taking the letter, Oda Nobunaga directly tore it apart and started reading it. But after reading a few lines of words, Oda Nobunaga exclaimed:

"What?"
