Chapter 1059 The two heroes meet
The changes in the Saito family in Mino Country, in addition to making Oenohata Asai Nagamasa resolutely decide to follow the recommendations of the Asai family's retainers and use force to oust his father Asai Himasa, so as to inherit the position of the governor to resist the invasion of the Hexaki family, the Matsuhide family in Nishisankawa also made everyone nervous.
Matsuhira Motoyashi is not a fool either. He knew that the Matsuhira family played a barrier for the Oda family to block the Takeda family and the Imakawa family because of this position. Although he had agreed to Kiyonobuki, the messenger of the Oda family, to prepare to go to Kiyoshu Castle to meet Oda Nobunaga and formally establish the alliance between the Matsuhira family and the Oda family. In order to gain more initiative in the alliance, he still did not finalize the specific date for his trip to Kiyoshu Castle.
However, now the Saito family suddenly changed drastically. The Mino viper, Saito Dozo, who was rumored to have died, was resurrected and established an alliance with the Oda family again. In this way, Matsuhei Motoyashi felt a little crisis. After all, one of the reasons why Oda Nobunaga planned to form an alliance with the Matsuhei family was that the Oda family could free up their hands to deal with Saito Yoshiro in the north. Now Saito Yoshiro suddenly died suddenly, and the owner of the Saito family became Oda Nobunaga's father-in-law Saito Dozo in the north. The Oda family reunited with the Saito family, so the threat to the north of the Oda family was naturally temporarily eliminated, and even the north of the Oda family became one of the helpers for the development of the Oda family.
Therefore, the only remaining development directions for the Oda family were the Ise country in the west and the Mikawa country in the east. The Mikawa country in the east was the Matsue family that was facing the Oda family first. If Oda Nobunaga suddenly decided to develop eastward, the Matsue family would face three sides of the Imakawa family, Takeda family, and Oda family. This situation would naturally be very dangerous for the Matsue family. So Matsue Motoyasu immediately sent an envoy and determined the time to go to the Kiyosu Castle with the Oda family.
But Matsupei Motoyaki finally arrived at Qingzhou City nearly half a month later than the scheduled date. It was March 5, the fourth year of Yonglu (1561 AD).
There is a great reason why he was late. Some of the retainers of the Matsue family believed that the reason why Oda Nobunaga invited his own governor Matsue Motokaku to Kiyosu Castle was to take the opportunity to kill his own governor, so he unanimously opposed Matsue Motokaku. In this wave of opposition, Matsue Motokaku had to pacify them one by one before he could make a smooth journey.
Finally, Matsuhei Motokaku selected twenty-two retainers to escort him into Ohara Kingdom, and Oda Nobunaga also specially sent Kizaki Shigetaki, who was stationed in Takan Castle to welcome him. Kizaki Shigetaki was once the envoy to Okazaki Castle. He had met Matsuhei Motokaku several times, and was the right person to welcome him.
After the two families met, due to the relationship between the two families, like dogs and monkeys, they were always very disharmonious and even hostile. Therefore, before Okazaki's retainers and Ohashi's retainers went from Kono to the Honcho in the Kiyosu Castle, there were tense scenes several times, and the two sides almost caused a crisis-filled conflict.
When the two teams arrived at Qingzhou City, there were already many people watching the fun around, and the streets of Qingzhou City were crowded with people. Among them, many people spoke ill of bad words, and even Matsue Motokashi could hear it.
"Ah! Look! That's Take Chiyo who came to be hostage when he was six years old. Well! He's really grown up!"
"It's really a shame! At that time, he made an appointment with the Lord of the Kingdom to become the Lord of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of ", now he is probably here to fulfill his promise!"
"Yes! He is completely different from our Lord. He is here to subdue. Since he is here, why should he pretend to be a tiger's power?"
"Oh! This is just when he passes through the streets, and when he enters the city, he can't raise his head."
For a moment, the streets were filled with rumors.
At the forefront of Matsuhei Motoyaku, a young guard with a childish face walked, and he drove away the onlookers without any worries:
"Everyone retreat, retreat! We are not coming to surrender. If you don't retreat, your head will fly. I will not be responsible at that time!"
He said while waving the three-foot sword in his hands above the heads of the masses.
"Look at this person, who is he? Why are he so rude? It's not just the people on the street watching the fun."
"What? What did you say?"
The young guard walking in the street looked at each other with wide eyes and said:
"I am the retainer of Mikawa Matsuhei Motoyasu family, whom everyone knows, Kamihara Kohei Taiyasumasa. Mikawa people have always been very irritable. If you don't give up a way to let us pass, your head will fall from your neck."
"This guy is really unreasonable. He has defeated all the battles and has such a virtue!" someone said, "You guy!"
Kamihara Kohei Taiyasu cursed: "Yes! I am a twelve-year-old guy, but I am a kappa who doesn't take his life seriously. Whoever dares to speak ill of our king again, my knife is really going to pass."
Some people had changed their faces in the mixed speeches around. If Nobunaga Oda had not warned everyone harshly in advance, something ominous would have happened before entering the city.
The group came to the Honmachi Gate and got off the horse. The first ones to welcome the important officials of the Oda family, such as Lin Sado, Shibata, and Danwu. When they arrived at the entrance of the city, Matsuhei Motoyashi, who was only 21 years old, looked at everyone with a calm and peaceful expression, but their retainers all showed a pose of preparing to fight with others. Seeing this situation, Muzao Shigetachi was immediately uneasy.
When the Matsue family saw Oda Nobunaga, sparks were almost bursting out from their faces. Fire and Fire... No! It would be better to say that the feeling of the white blade against the white blade, which made the people watching the side worry.
"call……"
After entering the big entrance, Mu Zao Chongzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, there was no conflict before! As for what happened afterwards, even if both of them drew their swords at each other, it had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga was already standing in front of us to welcome Matsuhei Motoyaku! And Oda Nobunaga immediately said after meeting:
"Oh! Take Chiyo!"
Nobunaga Oda shouted and walked down the ladder step by step: "I! Master Ji! Oh! Hahaha, you still look like you were when you were a child... I'm so glad you came here."
At this time, Matsuhei Motoyashi's retainers gradually surrounded the two of them. But Oda Nobunaga looked down on them and said directly:
"Come on! Come on! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
To Oda Nobunaga, Matsuhira Motoyasu also replied with a diligent greeting: "It's really nostalgic! Master Ji..."
When the two of them had eyes intertwined, their eyes were red.
"Take Chiyo!"
"Master Ji!"
