This is the reason why His Highness Asai actively participated in the Battle of Kamiro, hoping to regain more territory from Minamiomi.

North and South Omi have been at war for many years, and the hatred between the samurai families on both sides can even be traced back hundreds of years.

Even if the Asai family, the leader of North Omi, gets the land of South Omi, it will be difficult to rule the area. The antagonism between the north and the south is too strong, and the local samurai family will inevitably be unruly and disrespectful.

In fact, for Her Majesty Asai, Minami Omi is worthless and tasteless. But the three counties of Kitanomi cannot solve the problem, so she has no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose to conquer the land of Minami Omi."

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Takenaka Shigeharu, who was talking eloquently, and suddenly remembered that she was born in Fuwa County, Mino Country, which is the county on the border between Mino Country and Kitaomi.

It’s no wonder that she knows so much about the inside of Kitaomi and the plight of the Asai family.

Oda Nobunaga asked.

"Then according to your opinion, how should I help Asai Nagamasa?"

Takenaka Shigeharu said.

"His Royal Highness Asai is planning the battle for Minami-Omi, even if the spring plowing is damaged, he will send troops.

Now that the battle results are few and the harvest is destined to be poor after autumn, the retainers are naturally dissatisfied with the Oda family.

In the main hall, you can use a two-pronged approach to gain favor with the Asai family.

First, the territories you control are fertile and highly productive. You can use food to subsidize Kitanomi's poor harvest after autumn.

Secondly, the Oda family had 30,000 soldiers who went to Luo, and now there are countless female soldiers in Nan Omi, which is enough to frighten Xiao Xiao.

As long as you support His Highness Asai to collect military and food services from the three counties, the military families of the three counties will never dare to disobey. Although they love money, they are more afraid of death and will understand what is good and what is bad.

Among the three counties of Takashima, Inugami, and Aichi, the only one with some trouble is probably the Todo leader of the Shiba family in Inugami County."

Oda Nobunaga raised his eyes and repeated.

"Shiba family, leader Todo?"

Takenaka Shigeharu bowed and said.

"Hi, it's the Todo leader of the Shiba family.

The Todo leader was originally the Todo clan of some villages in Inugami County, led by Todo Toradaka, the leader of the Todo village.

In the battle of Noragada, Todo Toradaka led the Todo members to join the Odaisho and achieved considerable military exploits.

During Rokkaku Yoshiken's second Northern Expedition, Todo Toradaka contacted Inugami and the samurai families of the two counties of Aichi to defend the Asai family against the Rokkaku family's military attack, and played an indispensable role.

Todo Torakaka was a royal family member appointed by the imperial court. She transferred 10,000 koku of territory and became a retainer. Her Todo domain was independent of the recent Shiba domain, and she had a high reputation in Inugami County.

Among the three counties that the Asai family took over, Takashima County on the west bank of Lake Biwa is headed by the famous local Takashima family. On the east coast, the Inugami and Aichi two-gun samurai families are headed by Todo Toradaka."

Oda Nobunaga said doubtfully.

"Todo, who is tall and powerful, can't command ten thousand stones. How did he get such great influence?"

Takenaka Shigeharu said.

"The main hall doesn't know something.

Todo Torakaka is a very capable person, but he had no way of getting ahead because of his humble background.

After joining the Imperial Guard, Todo Torako carefully contacted the samurai families of the Inugami and Aichi counties, and took advantage of the local samurai's unwillingness to pay the Asai family's military food service to interfere with it.

The Todo Territory is the territory of the Shiba family, and His Highness Asai is not willing to impose high taxes on Todo Tora. The other samurai families simply put Todo Tora in front to resist the tax, which makes His Highness Asai very embarrassed.

Todo Torako is not only active in dogs, but also operates in the two counties of Aichi, and even penetrated into Sakata County, where Asai is the leader, and has contacts with the local samurai family.

As far as I know, Ishida Mitsunari, the daughter of the Toto family in Ishida Village, Sakata County, was introduced to the Shiseba family by Todo Toradaka.

The Ishida family was very grateful to the fact that Ishida Mitsunari was a high-ranking official and well-paid in the Shiba family. The other samurai families saw this and flocked to him, becoming even more enthusiastic about Toudo Togaka."

Oda Nobunaga nodded.

"This Todo Torakaka is a powerful person who is good at dancing. No wonder he can disturb several counties with his great reputation and give Asai Nagamasa a headache."

Kita-Omi was originally the territory of the Kyogoku family, one of the four shogunate officials. The Asai family conquered the land and occupied this place.

Although the shogunate has granted the Asai family the guardianship of Kitaomi, the Asai family is not confident enough to rule Kitaomi.

The Asai family has its roots in the three oldest counties. Asai County is the ancestral home of the Asai family, and the famous Akao family in Ika County is a relative of the Asai family. The two families are connected by the same spirit and have always advanced and retreated together.

The relationship between Sakata County and the Asai family is relatively distant.

Asai Nagamasa must have been very angry when Todo Toraoka was wooing the local samurai family in Sakata County. If it weren't for the fact that Todo leader was a vassal of the Shiba family, Asai Nagamasa would have found an excuse to annihilate the Toudo family.

Having said this, Oda Nobunaga felt a little pity for talents and asked.

"This Todo Toraoka is pretty good. Is it possible for her to work for the Oda family?"

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.

"Tora Todaka's fortune is due to Odaisho's kindness. She understands her situation very well, and it is very difficult for her to leave the Shiba family."

Oda Nobunaga sighed.

"It's such a pity."

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Oda Nobunaga's eyes.

The presence of Todo leader in the middle of Omi is not only a problem for the Asai family. Anyone who does not get along with the Shiba family must guard against this thorn.
