Nobunaga is a witch

In fact, compared to Kyoto, people in this era are more accustomed to calling the capital of this thousand-year-old city Luoyang.

Because Ping'an Jing was originally built in imitation of the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, with Suzaku Street as the boundary, the right capital on the right is called Chang'an, and the left capital on the east is called Luoyang.Later, because Youjing Changan Sudoku was submerged by Guichuan, it was difficult to live, so it was gradually abandoned.So in the Warring States period, Kyoto only refers to Zuojing Luoyang.This is why both Imagawa Yoshimoto and Oda Nobunaga went to Kyoto before and were called Shangluo.

Such a city full of Tang style and ancient charm, after the snow falls, the carved and painted buildings look like pink and jade, which is too beautiful to behold.

But for his first winter as a shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not have the slightest idea of ​​enjoying the scenery. He gloomily stared at the few Kyoto orders left by Oda Nobunaga, "Oda Nobunaga and How long will it take to arrive?"

On this occasion, Akechi Mitsuhide, who is not the oldest but has some connections with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, said, "Please rest assured, my lord, my lord is already on his way and will enter Beijing soon. "

Kinoshita Hideyoshi sneaked a glance at Mitsuhide Akechi, who looked very convincing, while no one was paying attention.

I really can't see it, Mr. Mitsuhide is still so serious when he tells lies, obviously they haven't received any news about the Lord Master.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was more or less relieved, he didn't care how Oda Nobunaga could come in such heavy snow, as long as he arrived, "Before he comes, protect my safety."

Akechi Mitsuhide leaned over slightly, "We will definitely protect the safety of the general!"

Other Kyoto officials also took up Akechi Mitsuhide's words, "I will protect the General."

Only then did Ashikaga Yoshiaki wave his hand, "You guys go."

"Hi hi." Several people bowed and left.

Exiting the hall, several Kyoto officials said their goodbyes, because the three Miyoshi and Saito Ryuko surrounded the entire Honkokuji Temple. There were so many of them, so the troops left by Oda Nobunaga had to disperse and defend .

Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide were the last to separate.

"Mitsuhide-sama, I'll leave it to you here." Kinoshita Hideyoshi in military uniform saluted Akechi Mitsuhide.

Ever since Oda Nobunaga poached him from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Akechi Mitsuhide, who has always played the role of a civil servant rather than a samurai, has also put on armor. Compared with Kinoshita Hideyoshi's ferocious face under the flames of war, his face is covered with frost. Akechi Mitsuhide looked even more tall and straight, with outstanding temperament, "Please rest assured, Lord Hideyoshi, I will definitely persevere until Lord Master arrives."

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was about to turn around and leave, paused, and said hesitantly, "Mitsuhide-sama, my lord, will you come in time?"

Akechi Mitsuhide's expression changed, and before he could speak, Kinoshita Hideyoshi said anxiously again, "I'm not doubting my lord, it's just that the wind and snow are blowing right now, and I'm just afraid that my lord will be delayed on the road." He said for a while He patted his chest, "I will die fighting for my lord's great cause. I don't regret my death, but if I fail to fulfill my lord's entrustment and protect Ashikaga Yoshiaki, then even if I die, I will have no face to see my lord."

Akechi Mitsuhide breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. In the current situation, if even a Kyoto magistrate like Kinoshita Hideyoshi is shaken, he is really afraid of other changes.

Calming his mind, Akechi Mitsuhide restrained his expression, "Don't worry, Hideyoshi-sama, the lord will definitely arrive in time." He said with an emphasis on his tone, such firm words were like a kind of unshakable determination, "It will definitely work!"

At this time, there must be no wavering in the slightest. Whether it is him or Kinoshita Hideyoshi, if they can't even believe this, how can they lead their subordinates to guard until the moment when the lord arrives?

The most unshakable thing is the morale of the army before the war. If the general has doubts, he will lose the battle. ---

Besides, Akechi Mitsuhide firmly believed in his heart for no reason that his lord would arrive in time.Even occasionally, rationality would question, how could the lordship rush to the capital so quickly in such heavy snow, but soon this doubt was once again persuaded by an inexplicable firmness, even with a little blindness: lord , will arrive in time!

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was also infected by Akechi Mitsuhide's firmness, he nodded fiercely, "Well, definitely!"

Not to mention the fluctuating hearts inside the Honkoji Temple, but outside the Honkoji Temple, the three Miyoshi and Saito Longxing who attacked the Honkoji Temple were first excited after seeing the heavy snow, and then deeply relieved after the excitement.

They are not complete idiots. Of course, they know that dealing with Ashikaga Yoshiaki will definitely cause Oda Nobunaga to rebound, but so what.

At the beginning, they planned to make a time difference, so that Oda Nobunaga would not have time to react, but who knew that even God was on their side, and suddenly it snowed heavily.

The distance from Gifu to Kyoto is not close, and the snow is so heavy. If you take a shortcut, you will have to climb over the mountains, and the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the mountain roads are impossible to walk. When Oda Nobunaga arrives in Kyoto, let alone Ashikaga Zhao, ten of them were also taken down.

The ecstasy feeling that they were about to grasp the victory made the three people, Miyoshi, Saito Ryuko and others feel more urgent, and they wished to immediately invade Honguoji Temple and kill Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Under the urging of this mood, their orders were issued more urgently, making the offensive more ferocious.

Fortunately, the several Kyoto temples that Oda Nobunaga stayed in Kyoto were not paper lanterns. They each took their headquarters and other soldiers who stayed in Kyoto and guarded firmly around the Honkoku Temple. Do not give the attacker the slightest chance.

So, after the three of them, Miyoshi and Saito Tatsuko were blocked from attacking, they began to curse Oda Nobunaga silently in the bottom of their hearts.

Damn Oda Nobunaga, let's go, there are still a few stubbles here, what a red deer!

At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who was constantly chanted by everyone in Kyoto (no matter what kind of chanting is chanting), was trekking hard in the snow.

From the moment she received the news, she immediately summoned the most elite members of her direct line, and did not take any of the other retainers who might slow down the schedule, and did not delay for half a minute. They brought enough dry food and went to the capital. Direction rushed.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is an important move for her, and it is not time to abandon her.

What's more, the trio, Sanyosho and Saito Longxing are clearly here for her. If these people are really allowed to succeed, I'm afraid that the rest of the world will want to step on her Oda Nobunaga.

She actually controls the two countries of Owari and Mino, and after taking down the Rokkaku clan, her influence in Kinki is also expanding.

For a piece of fat, who wouldn't want to take a bite.

So she had to fight this battle, and she had to win it cleanly.

If you don't step the trio, Miyoshi, and Saito Ryuko into the mud, she will really be bullied by Oda Nobunaga.

In the wind and snow, Oda Nobunaga wore a mask on his face, his expression was as calm as water, but his eyes were burning like a dark fire. Mino arrived in Kyoto, Mino arrived in Kyoto, did they think she couldn't make it?

The big road was too late, so she climbed the mountain and took a small road. She couldn't believe that she couldn't find a way!

All the way in a hurry, the wind and snow are getting stronger, and the road is a little difficult to walk, and soon we will enter the mountains and forests.

"My lord, there is too much snow in the mountains." A road explorer fell back under Oda Nobunaga's horse, knelt on the ground and reported, "The road is almost covered by heavy snow, find a place to wait for the snow to stop , let’s move on.”

Others gathered around after hearing the words, "Yes, my lord, it's too dangerous to travel now."

"Wait for the wind and snow to stop before going on the road. What if the road is lost in the snow, the snow is slippery, and you fall off the cliff." As the elite troops of Oda Nobunaga, the person who said this is not so afraid of death, but If the death in battle is not mentioned on the battlefield, it would be too useless to slide down the cliff and fall to death.

Of course, some people don't think so, "My lord said that we must arrive at the capital in time, and we must not stop now, but please give an order to slow down and let someone clear the road."

Someone immediately echoed this, "You can't stop, but it's safer to slow down."

The debate gradually became louder, and no one could convince anyone. From the initial discussion, the voices became louder and louder. In the end, no one was convinced, and they all looked at Oda Nobunaga together.

This sentence, "Your Highness." That sentence, "Your Highness." They looked at Oda Nobunaga in unison, waiting for her decision.

Oda Nobunaga held the rein of the horse and listened quietly to his subordinates' suggestions for a moment, then raised her hand amidst many inquiries.

During the march, the lord lord's orders were absolutely obeyed, so following her movements, everyone around became quiet, and in an instant, there was only the sound of war horses snorting.

"I know that the mountain road is difficult to walk in the snow," Oda Nobunaga's voice was clear, and it spread far away in such a silent environment, "but now there is no time to wait for the snow to stop or have the road cleared, we must go as fast as possible Hurry to the capital." She paused, and her voice became more playful, "Someone wants to step on my Oda family," she snorted coldly, "We will make these people look good!" Facing these ministers The samurai, Oda Nobunaga did not use any polite words, but simple words are the biggest boost to morale.

Sure enough, such words immediately aroused the soldiers of the Oda family to feel the same hatred and hatred, and they shouted wildly, "Make them look good!"

"Kill them!" Even if they dare to step on the superior, go to death.

More grumpy, "Yes, kill them."

Oda Nobunaga waited for everyone to vent a few words before speaking again, "In order to get to Kyoto as soon as possible, this time," she lowered her tone, "Let me, Oda Nobunaga, walk in the front."

There was a moment of silence, and the next moment, the subordinates who were kneeling beside Oda Nobunaga shouted urgently, "Your Highness, no, it's too dangerous!"

"Your Highness, absolutely not!" The rugged mountain road, how could the lord be able to walk in the front, if there was any danger, they would not even be able to atone for seppuku.

The increasingly anxious voice could not conceal the worry, "Your Highness!"

Some even brought pleas, "Your Highness!"

All the voices surrounding Oda Nobunaga were anxious and urgent voices.

Not only that, but those who reacted quickly moved directly to Oda Nobunaga's horse and knelt down, as if his lord had to step on them first if he wanted to leave.

The corner of Oda Nobunaga's mouth was slightly raised under the armor mask, worried that he couldn't hide it, and all these words of comfort were the most sincere heart for her, even if the heavy snow fell, it couldn't cover up his enthusiasm.

"Okay!" Oda Nobunaga shouted loudly, suppressing all opposing voices, "I have already decided, get out of the way and let me go first."

"Your Highness!" The person kneeling on the ground still did not give up, and took two steps on his knees, "Let me open the way."

Someone followed immediately, not to be outdone, "Let me do it."

"No, I'll come!"

"Let me do it, I am the most flexible."

"Get out of the way!" Oda Nobunaga snarled, and the people kneeling in front of Oda Nobunaga's horse looked at each other in blank dismay. Although hesitant, they did not dare to disobey the Lord's order, and finally moved away slowly.

At this moment, a person wearing a bamboo hat quietly squeezed in from behind, "Get out of the way, let me go, I have something important to tell my lord."

He carried the flag of the Oda family on his back, and came from behind the team. The others said they had something important to report, but although they were dissatisfied with being pushed away by him, they didn't say anything.

When the man got stuck in Oda Nobunaga holding the rein and was about to take a step, he suddenly rushed to Oda Nobunaga's horse and knelt down on one knee, "Please let me lead the horse for my lord. "He will use his life to protect the lord!

The familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice made Oda Nobunaga pause, and after a while, she said doubtful words in an affirmative tone, "Maeda Toshiie?"

The figure under the bamboo hat trembled, then raised his head, revealing a handsome face that Oda Nobunaga was familiar with.If it is said that when he served Oda Nobunaga before, Maeda Inuchiyo still had a bit of enthusiasm and childishness, but now after being tempered by wind and rain, he has become thinner and his outline has become more distinct.Looking at Oda Nobunaga's eyes, there is a kind of tenacity that is as immovable as a rock.

Maeda Toshiie is like a gun that has been polished, its brilliance must be revealed, and this is the only way to truly reveal his true qualities of "the left side of the gun".

"My lord!" Under the eyes of Oda Nobunaga, Maeda Toshiie took half a step forward on his knees, "Let me lead the horse for you." In his expression, the kind of begging and apprehensive look, there is a kind of people The color of emotion.

After Oda Nobunaga looked at the person for a while, he nodded slowly, "Okay!"

"Thank you very much!" Maeda Toshiie bowed his body deeply, hiding the soreness in his eyes, my lord, are you finally willing to give him a chance?

No one knew how disappointed he was when Hideyoshi-sama brought him the news that the lord still didn't want him to go back.

And no one would know how nervous he was the moment the lord lord looked at him just now.

And those disappointments and apprehensions have now all turned into unstoppable ecstasy in the bottom of my heart and sore eyes.

After Maeda Toshiie saluted, he got up neatly and took the bridle for Oda Nobunaga. Step by step, he walked fast and steadily, just like his current mood.

The sound of the wind and snow was getting louder, as if it had been a long time, maybe only for a moment, he heard the voice of the Lord Master, coming from behind, passing through the wind and snow, and remembered it in his ears like thunder, "Come back, Inuchiyo , I agree."

Maeda Toshiie couldn't hold back the soreness in his eyes anymore, some warm liquid flowed down from the fundus of his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, and responded to his lord with his most powerful answer, "Hi!"

Maeda Inuchiyo, the young master of the Oda family since the age of 12, grew up with the young master, was taught by the young master, and is willing to sacrifice his life for him!

He never thought about the possibility that the day he left, he couldn't even imagine that he couldn't come back.

Fortunately, now, he's back, he's back!

The corner of Oda Nobunaga's mouth under the mask raised slightly, relying on Maeda Toshiie to lead her horse, she turned her head neatly, and said loudly, "Follow me, let's go to Kyoto, and let those who want to attack my Oda family people look good!"

The sound of promises resounded in the wind and snow, and the soldiers following Oda Nobunaga were very emotional.

Such a big snowstorm, such a dangerous mountain road, but their lord, walked in front of them without hesitation.

The sight of the Lord Master's back is so hot that it can melt the wind and snow. Following such a person, they will not be shaken in any way, not afraid of challenges, and will not hesitate to live or die.

Your lord, is their direction, their belief!

Just follow him, as long as you can follow him!
