"Lord Motoyasu, do you really intend to obey their orders and lead only your own troops to attack the Oda clan again?"

"If this continues, the Mikawa samurai will soon be exhausted. This is clearly Imagawa Yoshimoto's conspiracy."

Yes, an open conspiracy.

Matsudaira Motoyasu looked behind him and saw at the end of the horizon a group of well-equipped and neatly-formed Imagawa samurai.

Obviously, Imagawa Yoshimoto was not at ease with himself.

If I refuse to attack the city, those people will definitely attack me, right?

But, with the strength of our headquarters, can we capture the Guye City?

impossible.

Looking at Oda Nobuna who was stationed on the top of the city wall, Matsudaira Motoyasu was filled with despair.

What if we surrender to the Oda family and turn our guns against the Imagawa family?

I always feel that it is still very dangerous. The Oda family is short of troops and can only defend.

Even if we add these thousand people, it will be meaningless.

"Lady Yoshimoto escaped death earlier, so she must be furious with me for standing by and watching. To appease her, at least half of our people must be killed or injured."

"We, the Mikawa samurai, have served Lord Yoshimoto with all our heart and soul over the years. Since she is unwilling to let us go, you can't blame me for being ruthless."

Matsudaira Motoyasu muttered a few words to himself, then quickly ran towards the Furuno Castle, stopped outside the range of bows and cannons, and shouted:

"Sister Ji, I'm Takechiyo! Can you talk to me?"

"So it's you, four-eyed raccoon cat. What do we have to talk about?"

"I am willing to lead the Mikawa Samurai Group in rebellion. Sister Ji, please join me in defeating Imagawa Yoshimoto!"

The next moment, a horn sounded from behind the Matsudaira army.

Immediately afterwards, a thousand well-equipped Imagawa samurai launched an attack on the Mikawa samurai of equal number.

"Matsudaira Motoyasu is rebelling! By order of Lord Yoshimoto, suppress the rebellion! Target: Matsudaira Motoyasu's head."

On the tower, the bell girl instantly appeared beside Oda Nobuna, chuckled and said:

"Lord Nobuna, we can send our troops now. Target Matsudaira Motoyasu."

? ?

Oda Nobuna was full of doubts and couldn't help asking:

"What exactly does he want to do? Hasn't Matsudaira Motoyasu already decided to turn against us?"

"I don't know, but the target is Matsudaira Motoyasu."

"Okay, okay..."

Oda Nobuna waved her hand to indicate that she understood.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, that guy was the lord of Owari Province and his prestige was higher than his own.

"I see."

Soon, the city gates were opened, and Katsuie took the lead and headed straight for Matsudaira Motoyasu.

When he found that her horse's speed did not slow down at all, Matsudaira Motoyasu, who thought that the Oda family had agreed, changed his expression drastically.

"Sister Ji, what are you going to do?"

"Surrender, Matsudaira Motoyasu."

Looking at his subordinates who were quickly defeated by the pincer attack from both sides, Matsudaira Motoyasu felt his heart bleeding.

He was the first to throw away his weapon and ordered his subordinates to surrender.

"I surrender! Sister Ji, I surrender!"

As the Matsudaira army was disarmed, the Imagawa samurai in the rear also stopped their actions under the order of their commander.

Then, the commander rode forward, and when he reached Nobuna, he dismounted and bowed slightly:

"Lord Nobuna, these warriors are the elite of the Imagawa army. We have already informed all commanders of those with more than ten men, and they are ready to change flags at any time."

!! ?

"I remember you are Maeda Toshiie from Nobunaga's side..."

Oda Nobuna was slightly stunned, and almost reacted instantly, and couldn't help asking:

"Where is Baimu? How is Imagawa Yoshimoto now?"

"Lord Nobuna, Lord Shiramaki goes by the alias Fujimine Maku and is currently serving as the military advisor and commander-in-chief of the Imagawa army. Imagawa Yoshimoto's spies have been completely eliminated and she can only hear the news we want her to hear."

That's it!

That guy's goal was not Imagawa Yoshimoto's head or victory in a war, but all the territories under Imagawa Yoshimoto's command.

Imagawa Yoshimoto brought a total of 23,000 troops with him to Kyoto this time, and the number of people left behind should not have exceeded 2,000.

Even though many people fled and were killed by the chaotic army because of the previous Battle of Okehazama, more people were still alive.

As long as Imagawa Yoshimoto was still alive, he could at least gather more than 10,000 people again.

With so many people, plus the military strength of Owari, Imagawa Yoshimoto's prestige was enough to swallow up all the territories under Yoshimoto's name in an instant.

Because she acted so quickly and Yoshimoto was still alive, she was still the head of the Imagawa family on the surface, and Takeda and Hojo would not take advantage of her.

It's no different from a python swallowing an elephant.

"It's really amazing..."

Behind Oda Nobuna, Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was tied up like a dumpling, finally realized what had happened.

"If you...are going to betray Lady Yoshimoto, why did you send me to die? I'm not her loyal subject, am I?"

Could it be that I behaved so well on a daily basis that everyone thought I was a die-hard fan of Imagawa Yoshimoto?

Unfair! This is too unfair.

Seeing this, Oda Nobuna chuckled unconsciously:

"Well...if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so stupid. You've always worked so hard and never complained, right?"

"However, before that, you should think carefully about how you will cope after the Oda family conquers the three kingdoms of Tōkaidō."

Matsudaira Motoyasu was speechless, then put on a flattering expression and asked cautiously:

"What is Sister Ji going to do with me?"

"Don't ask me, huh! I'm no longer the Lord of Owari."

"But I heard that Sister Ji has been recognized as a sister by that Oda Nobunaga and is also a member of the Oda family."

"The customs of the two worlds are completely different. I'm just an ordinary general of the Oda family. At most... my status is slightly higher than that of an ordinary general. But in the end, I don't have the final say. So, you should think carefully about how to please your new master."

"…What will happen to Lord Yoshimoto?"

"Who knows? That guy didn't even discuss it with me before making the decision. Who knows what he was thinking? But if I were Yoshimoto, I would definitely be furious and fight him to the death after being deceived like this, right?"

"... "

Matsudaira Motoyasu remained silent.

Although she had always been bullied by Imagawa Yoshimoto, at this moment, she suddenly felt some sympathy for him.

If you fall from the top of a mountain, and finally climb back halfway up the mountain, only to suddenly fall to the bottom of a cliff again, you will definitely be mentally devastated, right?

……

At dusk, Imagawa Yoshimoto, surrounded by many military generals, slowly walked into Kiyosu Castle.

At this moment, she was in an unusually good mood.

Although he experienced an unprecedented defeat in Okehazama and almost lost his head.

But then he regrouped and marched forward like a hot knife through butter, successfully capturing Kiyosu Castle and capturing the Oda family.

He also discovered a large number of loyal and capable generals. Whether it was the new military advisor Fujimine Maku or the two bald monks, they were all outstanding talents.

In the past, the Imagawa family had lost its talent and had no one available, so they could only keep ordering the raccoon cat woman around.

Although she didn't say it, I guess she must be full of resentment in her heart?

Now that so many talents have been discovered, the next step is to give her half of Sanhe Kingdom as a reward, turning her from a direct subordinate to a subordinate.

After that, it’s time to consider what to do after arriving in Luoyang.

The teacher always wanted to go to Kyoto during his lifetime. When the time comes, I must ask someone to paint a few paintings of Kyoto scenery and burn them for him as a memorial.

When he entered the council, he suddenly found that his newly appointed military advisor was sitting in the main seat by himself, surrounded by some unfamiliar people, while the raccoon cat girl Matsudaira Motoyasu was arranged at the last seat, and none of the raccoon cat generals came. Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Yoshimoto, sit here."

Seeing her look full of confusion, Bai Mu took the initiative to wave his hand and motioned Imagawa Yoshimoto to sit next to him.

"Xiao Mu, what's going on? Why are you sitting in the main seat? Isn't that my seat?"

"Wait a moment, the council meeting will begin soon."

Bai Mu smiled but did not resolve the confusion.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto sat down next to him, he turned to look at Oda Kaoru:

"Xiaoxiang, how is the Imagawa Army doing now?"

Oda Kaori stole a glance at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who seemed to have not yet understood the situation, and slowly spoke:

"Due to the previous Battle of Okema-sansa, the Imagawa army initially mistakenly believed that Imagawa Yoshimoto was dead and fled in all directions. They were pursued by the Owari soldiers all the way and suffered many casualties."

“At the same time, many peasant soldiers fled into the mountains and forests.”

"But thanks to Imagawa Yoshimoto who quickly raised his flag at Narumi Castle, the defeated soldiers who had fled were able to regroup."

"After two days, the number has reached 16,000."

"Due to... Imagawa Yoshimoto's inaction, a large number of officers above the rank of Ashigaru general agreed to change their flags. The remaining samurai loyal to the Imagawa family have been arrested."

"We are currently conducting ideological education for everyone. I think... by tomorrow morning, the Imagawa family's army heading to Kyoto will become the Oda army."

"Very good." Bai Mu nodded slightly. "After that, we will release half of the people first, and let the Oda generals lead the Imagawa army back home to take over Suruga. Once the situation in various places stabilizes, we will officially change the flag and banner to the outside world."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

Oda Kaori nodded repeatedly, and at the same time, she couldn't help but glance at Imagawa Yoshimoto, whose doubt and anger were rising sharply.

Is it really okay to discuss these things in front of her?

If it were me, I would definitely be so angry that I wouldn’t be able to eat for three days, right?

"Brother Baimu, what's the situation in Minong now?"

"Both Mino and the other two countries have been conquered. I have entrusted the defense of the city to Yamamoto Isoroku. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Saito Dosan, the former lord of Mino, and this is Ikkyu, the former military advisor of the Ashikaga family."

Imagawa Yoshimoto had never heard of the latter name, he only knew that there was a famous master Ikkyu a hundred years ago.

But she had often heard her teacher mention the first name, one of the three great villains in troubled times.

No matter how much she didn't want to believe it, at this moment, an absurd idea came to her mind.

Turning back, staring at the white screen:

"who are you?"

"Shiramaki, the current ruler of the Oda family."

"In other words, the previous story of risking your life to save me, and the grand plans you told me later about going to Kyoto and seizing the position of general, were all lies."

"Feel sorry…"

Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes gradually dimmed, and a hint of despair appeared on his face.

I thought I had made a comeback, but it turned out to be a scam.

Not only his own life, but also his family property, family reputation, retainers, and his teacher's life's work were all taken away in the end.

He thought that he had conquered Owari and had a chance to go to Kyoto, but in fact, he had already become a lonely man without realizing it.

Looking around, there is no one I can trust.

Even Yuankang became an enemy general.
