    Harima Country, Himeji Castle.

    Puff puff!

    There was a series of rapid hoofbeats, and the war horses broke through the beach, leaving a series of hoof prints.

    The waves washed over the beach, and a large number of egrets rose up in fright, screaming straight into the sky.

    Ah!

    Wearing a large hunting suit, Hideyoshi Hashiba tightened the reins, and the horse circled the spot, flapping in a circle.

    Behind Hideyoshi Hashiba, a group of samurai quickly followed up, tightened the reins and stopped the horses.

    Not long ago, Hashiba Hideyoshi's Nishi Regiment had just captured Miki Castle and pacified the entire Higashi Harima, and their power increased greatly for a while.

    So it¡¯s no wonder that Hideyoshi Hashiba is in a good mood now.

    "Haha!" Hideyoshi Hashiba laughed loudly, waved his horsewhip and said, "You guys have the best view here."

    After saying this, Hashiba Hideyoshi jumped off the horse neatly.

    ?????????????????????????????????????After a while, a young man named Ishida Mitsunari brought the mazaar and sat down for Hideyoshi Hashiba.

    On the side, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, Kato Yoshiaki, Wakisaka Anji, Hirano Choyasu, Zaiya Takenori and other close samurai, as well as military advisor Kuroda Takaaka and others stood behind Hideyoshi Hashiba.

    The random people here are all famous people in history, which shows the huge lineup under Hideyoshi Hashiba.

    Hashiba Hideyoshi waved his hand, signaling to come closer, and the others stepped away, leaving only Kuroda Takataka.

    With the sea breeze blowing in the face, Hideyoshi Hashiba said: "Ikuno Ginzan, how is the production?"

    Kuroda Takagao lowered his head and said: "Reporting to my lord, I produced one hundred and fifty guan last month."

    Hashiba Hideyoshi¡¯s eyes lit up.  He slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Oh, so to speak, there are nearly two thousand strings this year!"

    Hideyoshi Hashiba has always had a business talent. After hearing about the output of Ikuno Ginzan, his eyes shone and he immediately grasped its importance.

    Kuroda Takagao lowered his head and said: "Yes, we can also use the Nanman refining method to temper it, so that the silver rate is higher. And after increasing the manpower, the output of Silver Mountain will further increase."

    Hideyoshi Hashiba waved his hand and said: "Everything is according to your wishes. If you want money, give money, and if you want people, give others."

    Kuroda Takagao nodded and was about to retreat.

    At this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly said: "Kanbei, there is one more thing."

    Kuroda Takaka turned around and looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba.  He suddenly smiled and said: "My lord, I am troubled by Lord Maeda's affairs."

    Hashiba Hideyoshi had a rare serious look on his face, nodded and said: "Yes, Matazuo is a good friend of mine. When I was working for the Oda family, thanks to him taking care of me, otherwise I would never be where I am today. I really appreciate his request.  It¡¯s difficult to handle.¡±

    Kuroda Takagao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "My lord, are you really hesitant because of Lord Maeda's invitation?"

    Seeing Kuroda Takaka say this, Hashiba Hideyoshi laughed, then looked around to make sure the people around him were far enough away.

    At that moment, Hideyoshi Hashiba lowered his voice.  He said: "As expected, I can't hide it from you at all. Yes, I am dissatisfied with Azuchiden, especially after Lord Takigawa's death."

    Hearing this, Kuroda Takaka nodded, folded his sleeves and robes, and said: "My lord, being able to speak frankly shows your trust in your subordinates. So what will my lord decide to do now?"

    After Hashiba Hideyoshi heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "If I understand, do I still need to ask you?"

    Kuroda Takagao shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say anything about this matter."

    Seeing what Kuroda Takataka said, Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the distant sea and sky, put his hands behind his head, and said to himself: "It would be great if my lord is still alive, so I don't have to think too much.  "

    After saying this, Hideyoshi Hashiba quietly wiped away his tears with his hands.

    ??Omi Kingdom, Western Temple.

    Above the main hall, countless monks were humming and chanting.

    The thick scent of sandalwood turned into green smoke and enveloped the temple.

    Akechi Mitsuhide walked to his wife¡¯s spiritual tablet, high-fived him three times with both hands, and then closed his eyes.

    After a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide opened his eyes and said silently: "Xiko, do you know? After you left, for the past two years, I have seen your face every day when I fell asleep and closed my eyes."

    "The battle with the Takeda family is about to begin. I may not see you for a long time. Please forgive me. I also hope that your spirit in heaven will bless my military fortune."

    Akechi Mitsuhide had a harmonious relationship with his wife, Tsumabuki Heeko. When the city of Akechi was destroyed, Akechi Mitsuhide became a wanderer, working for other families and wandering around.

    ¡° Nozomi Tsumabuki has always been by Akechi Mitsuhide¡¯s side and will never leave him.

      Even when the two of them were in the most difficult situation and had no financial means, his wife Nozomi Kiko decided to cut off her long hair and sell it for money to support Mitsuhide Akechi.

    After Akechi Mitsuhide walked out of the temple, his face was as calm as water, and he returned to his usual calm appearance.

    Akechi Hidemitsu, Saito Toshizo, Mizuo Shigetomo and other direct retainers were all waiting on horseback.

    After seeing Akechi Mitsuhide walk out of the temple, Akechi Hidemitsu said to Akechi Mitsuhide with a happy face: "My lord, I just received news that Tanba Kameyama Castle has been captured by Hosokawa and Ikeda."

    Hearing what Akechi Hidemitsu said, Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said: "Everything is going according to plan."

    Saito Toshi said: "My lord, the Honganji Temple has surrendered, and all the Tanba Kingdom, except the Naito family, have surrendered. Now there is no other force that can restrain our Kinki Army, and we can use our absolute power to fight against Takeda  It¡¯s a decisive battle.¡±

    Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said: "It's not enough."

    "Please tell me, my lord." Akechi Hidemitsu, Saito Toshizo, and Mizuo Shigeto all stood by with bows.

    Akechi Mitsuhide said: "In terms of current power, Takeda and our clan are on par with each other, and both sides are evenly matched. But in terms of reputation and justice, they are inferior."

    "My lord, I mean His Highness the Duke."

    "Yes," Akechi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice, "Gongfangdian is the leader of the martial arts family. At that time, Youfu Gong wanted to spread military power over the world and abolished the position of General of the Revolutionary Conquest. Why did he not occupy the position? It was because his name was not justified.  "

    As soon as Akechi Mitsuhide said this, the three of them nodded silently.

    The Oda family was originally a descendant of a priest, but for the sake of attachment, he claimed to be a descendant of the Taira family.

    Later, Nobunaga also knew this, so he simply gave up the position of general of the conquest of barbarians and refused to accept it.

    Nobunaga¡¯s ambitions have always been lofty. Even the retainers didn¡¯t know what Oda Nobunaga wanted. Is it really as Nobunaga said, imitating Zhou Gong and making meritorious deeds without taking pride in himself?

    Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the three people and said slowly: "Everyone, I, the Toki clan, come from a famous Minamoto clan. In terms of family status, there is nothing that can be compared with the Owari Priest family. At present, I have conquered all directions for the imperial court, and my achievements are unparalleled. Even if  It is not an exaggeration to ascend to the position of general to conquer barbarians and establish a shogunate."

    After hearing Akechi Mitsuhide¡¯s words, the expressions of these three people suddenly changed.

    And Akechi Mitsuhide¡¯s eyes flickered, but he was staring straight at them.  To be continued.  .
