In this guide to Settsu, the food scene of the shogunate is really ugly.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was scolded for those who benefited from it, such as Wada Weimasa. Apart from a false reputation that was respected by everyone in the shogunate, he did not get anything real. He also turned against Oda Nobunaga and became estranged.

His Highness Oda, a two-million-koku daimyo, worked hard for Shogun Kamiro to succeed him, but he ended up like this. No matter who in the outer domain is willing to be loyal to the shogunate, he must consider whether it is worth it.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, and he kept having fun. No wonder Akechi Mitsuhide looked down on her.

Honda Masanobu was not Akechi Mitsuhide. Even if she agreed in her heart, she could not smear the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki with her words, so she could only smile.

"Generals are everywhere, so it is difficult to cover everything. There are always choices to make when doing things.

Rather than taking advantage of the Oda clan, it is better to win over the shogunate's own people to facilitate governance.

This is also understandable.”

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly.

"You are good at talking. If everyone thinks like you, the world will be really peaceful. Everyone will not fight or fight, burn themselves for the shogunate, and live like a saint.

Throughout your life, you should not worry about food and clothing, or think about your heirs. Your mind will be filled with dedication. If there were more fools like this, the shogunate would be able to rule for tens of thousands of years.

Unfortunately, in today's world, there are too many liars and not enough fools, and it is not easy to deceive people.

In this way, the general still expects others to be grateful and think well of her? Haha, I wonder if others are stupid or she is stupid?

Matsunaga Hide was almost going crazy. Originally, she was still hesitating between the general and His Highness Oda. Now she didn't need to think too much. She directly took refuge in His Highness Oda and was willing to be a lackey of Oda's sect.

Thinking about it, before the Settsu strategy, she still controlled most of the island counties of Settsu country. That was the grace given to her by Miyoshi Nagakei.

Now she is actively helping the shogunate and counterattacking the Miyoshi family. Not only did she not get any benefits, but she was guarded by Wada Yaomasa, the newly minted Higashi Settsu, and took away her territory within the Settsu world.

The general's virtue is far inferior to that of the Three Good Lords, so it's no wonder that Song Yongxiu stole the chicken but lost the rice, and felt so regretful that he wanted to hit the wall."

Honda Masanobu was originally Matsunagahide's retainer and had some knowledge of the situation in Settsu. She nodded and sighed.

"General, this matter was indeed handled inappropriately, and there is also a dispute at the Ikeda family.

It is said that shortly after the death of the Ikeda family governor, Ikeda Katsumasa, a member of the same clan, conspired with Wada Weimasa to become one of the three guardians of Settsu and succeeded the Ikeda family governor.

The important minister of the family, Araki Murashige, was not convinced, and she married the son of the previous family governor, who was a powerful member of the Ikeda family. This conflict caused quite a stir."

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Honda Masanobu and smiled.

"Your news is delayed, Araki Murashige has already left for Ibaraki Castle.

His Majesty Oda sent troops to seize Tsu this time, and stopped after reaching Ibaraki Castle. I don’t know what path Araki Murashige took, but His Majesty Oda took a fancy to it and gave it to Ibaraki Castle.

Katsunaga Ikeda was very unhappy. Once Oda's army withdrew, Settsu Kingdom would be in good hands.

It is impossible for the Oda army to stay in Settsu country for a long time. The North Ise samurai family is dependent on snakes and rats, and the mother and daughter of Minami Omi Rokkaku are showing signs of resurgence.

If there is a fire in the backyard, it will be difficult for Oda-sama."

Honda Masanobu nodded, knowing that the game between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga had begun.
