Such an Oda family obviously cannot survive in troubled times.

If it weren't for that guy who called himself a man from the future, I would definitely be able to annex them.

As for now, we can only lie low and wait patiently.

It is still unknown who will rule the world.

But the Oda family will definitely be able to dominate Japan.

……

"Fifty years on earth, compared to eternity, is like a dream and an illusion..."

Inside the castle tower, Oda Nobunaga sat on a chair, watching the two girls dancing from afar, listening to the familiar singing, and his mood gradually relaxed.

To be honest, he actually didn't like this waka. Compared to the turbulent trends, he preferred a peaceful life.

However, looking at Xiang Ji who was in high spirits in the distance, he was also filled with joy for a moment.

"Oda Nobuna? Her personality is completely different from mine, so it's a bit of a stretch to call her another female self."

"But perhaps only with this kind of character can one achieve great things, as Bai Mu and the others said?"

'My health is getting worse, and I don't know when I will pass away, but with Shiramu and Nobuna around, even if I die, Xiangji should be safe, right?

Under the gazes of countless people, the two princesses of the Oda family finished the Atsumori dance, stretched out their right hands at the same time, and touched each other lightly.

Then, Oda Nobuna jumped on his horse, drew his sword and shouted:

"Let's go, everyone. Our target is Imagawa Yoshimoto's head."

"Sister Nobuna, I wish you good luck in martial arts." Oda Kaori waved her hands repeatedly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win!"

Chapter 47 People really can’t easily do things they are not good at

When Oda Nobuna led his army out of Kiyosu Castle and headed to Atsuta Shrine to join the garrisons from various places, Suzume also quietly left and came to the top of Mount Okehazama.

At this moment, Bai Mu was leading hundreds of people and lurking in the forest.

The bell girl appeared silently beside Bai Mu and asked in a low voice:

"Lord Baimu, why did you ask me to tell them you hadn't arrived yet? Since you already know Imagawa Yoshimoto's location, wouldn't it be better for you to just lead your army and attack directly?"

"The best they could do is capture Imagawa Yoshimoto, but the results would be too little."

Whether in history or in "Nobuna's Ambition", after the Battle of Okehazama, Tokugawa Ieyasu's independence and the Kiyosu Alliance were ushered in.

Although there is nothing wrong with it, with proper planning, more brilliant results can be achieved.

In this regard, Baimu will naturally not follow the old path of history.

It's really annoying to make things more difficult for yourself when you can win easily.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Find a way to force Imagawa Yoshimoto's army to surrender. As long as these 20,000 troops don't flee, the three kingdoms of Tōkaidō will be ours."

The real Imagawa Yoshimoto in history was actually quite good in terms of both intelligence and military strategy. He just lacked some luck and underestimated Oda Nobunaga too much.

But Imagawa Yoshimoto in "Nobuna" is really just a fool.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu looked back at Saito Dosan and the others and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone listen carefully. Follow my steps closely. Don't say a word or do anything unnecessary."

"of course."

Saito Dosan nodded slightly, and at the same time, he unconsciously thought:

It's a bold and imaginative plan, but will it succeed?

Imagawa Yoshimoto was the best archer in Tōkaidō after all, so he shouldn't be that stupid, right?

After waiting patiently for a long time, it suddenly started to rain heavily. After a while, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence of Okehazama Mountain.

On the narrow flat ground below, Imagawa Yoshimoto was completely panicked when he saw the Oda army suddenly rushing towards him from a distance.

In order to show her charm to the people of Kyoto after going to Kyoto, she deliberately put on the somewhat troublesome twelve-piece kimono and wore many accessories.

Unexpectedly, it started to rain suddenly. In order to avoid getting wet, he immediately asked his subordinates to hold up umbrellas and start setting up tents.

Who could have imagined that the despicable and shameless Oda army would suddenly launch a surprise attack.

There were a total of 5,000 soldiers left in the main camp, but in order to avoid the rain, they all hid in the mountains and took shelter in the forest.

As a result, there were only a dozen or so maids scattered around in this open space.

“Yuan Yuan Yuan Kang, come quickly…ah…!”

As soon as he called out Matsudaira Motoyasu's name, Imagawa Yoshimoto realized that he had killed two birds with one stone by transferring Matsudaira Motoyasu away from the main camp to attack the front line.

Tokugawa Ieyasu and the group of raccoon cat generals under his command, as well as many generals of his own Imagawa family, were also dispersed.

Because they felt that Owari was just a small place and there was no need to worry too much, and now was a good time to grab some territory, so the main camp was extremely empty.

‘It’s over! ’

Looking at the fierce generals of the Oda family who were riding horses and the glittering swords, Imagawa Yoshimoto was filled with despair and tears appeared unconsciously in the corners of his eyes.

"Just because I was careless this one time, is my life over?"

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the side.

"stop!!"

A fierce general in full black armor, riding a tall horse, led hundreds of men to attack from the side.

With just one strike, all the men and women including Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Toshiie and others were knocked flying.

He grabbed Imagawa Yoshimoto, held her in his arms, and urged his horse to flee backwards.

"Lord Yoshimoto, the Oda army is coming at you with great force. Please take shelter from the enemy for now. Once our army has regrouped, it will not be too late to attack again."

Feeling the warm embrace behind him, the frightened Imagawa Yoshimoto burst into tears.

"Wow... I was so scared. I almost had my head chopped off. It was just that close! Why didn't you come out earlier?!"

"Sorry, I'm late, haha..."

"What's so funny? Do you know how scared I was just now?"

Shibata Katsuie and others who were knocked away by the blow slowly stood up and looked around in confusion.

Although he was not recognized at first due to the different color of his armor, his familiar strength and figure made it clear that he was the current ruler of the Oda family.

"Why did he... save Imagawa Yoshimoto? He was the one who provided Imagawa Yoshimoto's location."

"That's right! Why on earth is this happening? Lord Nobunaga has already appointed you as the lord. You have everything you deserve, so why are you betraying me?"

"Could it be that he has a crush on Imagawa Yoshimoto? That doesn't make sense."

Oda Nobuna, who arrived late, was also full of doubts. She looked at the figure gradually disappearing in the distance and muttered to herself unconsciously:

"What exactly does he want to do? If he has a crush on Imagawa Yoshimoto, he can just arrest him directly. Why save her?"

"If he is a spy of the Imagawa family, he can just kill us directly. Why is he doing this?"

On the other side, Bai Mu rode his horse with Imagawa Yoshimoto in his arms, galloping all the way, leaving Saito Michizo and other infantrymen far behind.

"What should we do next, Lord Yoshimoto?"

"this…"

The Oda army arrived too suddenly. Even if he managed to escape, as long as the Oda army announced that Imagawa Yoshimoto was dead, it would be easy to turn a small victory into a big one.

"Let's go to Minghai Castle. It's one of our army's important frontline strongholds and has a lot of supplies stored there. We'll receive the remaining soldiers there and send someone to announce to everyone that I'm still alive."

"it is good."

"Thanks so much to you this time. I never thought that our family would have such a loyal general like you. What's your name?"

"Fujimine Maku."

"I've made a note of this. When we return to Minghai Castle, I will promote you to be our family's military advisor.

Sigh... I thought I could still command the army even without Xuezhai. Sure enough, I overestimated myself. One really shouldn't easily do something they're not good at.

Your martial arts skills are very superb, much stronger than the raccoon cat girl, and more loyal than her. I will leave the task of reorganizing the team to you."

Bai Mu was speechless. This person was too credulous. When he revealed his cards to her, she would definitely burst into tears, right?

"Yes, Lord Yoshimoto."

Things went much more smoothly than expected. Bai Mu slowed down his horse and waited for Saito Dosan and others who were traveling on foot to catch up. Then he immediately led the team to Minghai Castle.

Imagawa Yoshimoto, who suffered a head-on blow when he led the troops alone for the first time since Taihara Yukisai's death, gave up completely and delegated all the military commands, which he thought he was not good at, to the newly promoted military advisor Bai Mu.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto was defeated, the Imagawa army that rushed to gather at Narumi Castle soon recovered its number to over ten thousand.

Because Imagawa Yoshimoto ignored the situation, Hakubaku took advantage of the previous defeat at Okehazama to suppress Matsudaira Motoyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others, placed his own people in the army, and soon took control of the tens of thousands of troops.

"Lord Yoshimoto, that Fujimine-sama has been... If this continues, the Imagawa family will definitely..."

"Shut up! Don't frame a loyal minister. Humph...! You, a raccoon cat girl, are very cunning, just like that big raccoon cat, full of conspiracies and tricks."

Matsudaira Motoyasu, who wanted to risk his life to give advice, was scolded by Imagawa Yoshimoto and retreated again. He could only leave Imagawa Yoshimoto's residence silently.

After walking out of the door, his expression changed slightly.

At the gate, two bald monks, one big and one small, were waiting for him.

These two were the two most capable military advisors under the powerful minister Fujimine. They were extremely skilled in scheming and in a very short time they were able to take control of the remaining tens of thousands of troops of the Imagawa family.

Moreover, perhaps because they were all bald like Imagawa Yoshimoto's late teacher Taihara Yukisai, they were highly valued by her.

"Lord Yuankang, you seem very dissatisfied with us?"

"How could that be... I... I was just worried that Yoshimoto-sama was devastated by the previous defeat and was unable to recover, so I came here specifically to give him some advice. Are you here to see Yoshimoto-sama as well?"

"No, we're here to see Master Motoyasu."

Saito Dosan looked deeply at Matsudaira Motoyasu, not hiding his malice:

"I heard that the Oda clan has sent a large army to retake Narumi Castle. Next, I would like to ask Lord Motoyasu to serve as the vanguard and resist the Oda army."

"Besides that, we've also assigned the same task to Tokugawa Ieyasu." Ikkyu had a smile on his face, but his tone was filled with malice. "We plan to merge the Mikawa Province into one. Whoever of you can obtain the head of the Oda clan leader will become the new ruler of Mikawa Province."

Matsudaira Motoyasu's heart was pounding. The talented people under his command were dwindling, and it was really a delicate situation for him to compete with those raccoon cats.

But he had to fight for it. If he really let the raccoon cat become the lord of Sanhe, he would never be able to go back.

After all, those civet cats were extremely powerful and were not inferior to humans at all.

If they were human, they might have already taken over Tōkaidō.

What a vicious plan.

"Yes, I understand."

As Matsudaira Motoyasu hurried away, Ikkyu asked:

"Master Dao San doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Is he jealous?"

Saito Dosan remained silent.

You're right, I'm jealous.

That kid is so lucky. If he had met a fool like Imagawa Yoshimoto when he was young, he wouldn't have spent decades to successfully steal the country.

It took decades to take over Minong, and the remaining time was not enough to dominate the country.

I always thought I was lucky, but now it seems that the kid has the best luck.

If it were him, perhaps he could really unify the country before he died.

"Don't test me, huh! I'm old after all. If I were younger, I would never willingly help others."

"But now, I am also looking forward to what kind of country he will create in the future."

Chapter 48: Imagawa Yoshimoto's Mental Collapse

After receiving the order to attack, although he was reluctant, Matsudaira Motoyasu immediately led his troops to attack Nagoya Castle where the Oda family was stationed.
