At this time, Oda Hideno had already taken all the old ministers of the Oda clan, and its sphere of influence had already reached Omi River in the west, Echinomaki north, and Natsuno in the east, and Natsuno in the south, becoming the most powerful daimyo in the Kinki area besides the Maeda clan. Its momentum was very scared even the Toyotomi coalition stationed in the southwest of Mino. In order to prevent changes, these daimyos wrote letters to Hideobo in the east country, and on the other hand, they asked for help from the Sugiwa clan who was guarding Yama Castle in Yamatoguni and Yuri Takigawa, who was responsible for the northeastern defense line in Yamato, hoping that they could send troops to Ohashi and North Castle while preventing Oda Hideno from further expanding.

On the second day of the fifth month, Oda Hidenobu was surrounded by his retainers and walked on the road from Hida Takayama Castle to Iwamura Castle. At this time, he was proud and full of energy, and his whole body exuded a temperament that was not consistent with his age.

As Oda Nobunaga's grandson, Daime, who was only one year younger than Hideo, showed his strategy and talents vividly this month. In the eyes of those old ministers of the Oda clan, the lord in front of him not only inherited the legacy of Nobunaga, but also seemed to inherit the abilities of the two generations of Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobuta Tada in some aspects, which made them look forward to the future of the Oda family again.

However, Hidenoon Oda seemed not as optimistic as his retainers. While capturing Takayama Castle, news of the Maori army's defeat in Yudongshanshi was also heard. The coalition forces of the Maeda clan and Yamato Toyotomi had begun to fully recover Omi. The Yamato Toyotomi army, which guarded Yamato and Kii, also launched an attack on Yama Castle and Hanoi's Maori army, and Kinki had already reversed offense and defense. This was not good news for the Oda clan, or even bad news.

Even though he agreed with Hideo that he was only responsible for restraining the Daemini who was close to the Tokugawa clan in Mino, with the uprising of Nino Nagashige and Shinno Daemini, the Oda clan was obviously unable to resist the ambitions he inherited from his ancestors and suppressed for a long time, and changed to passive defense to active attacks. While the war between Hokuriku and Kinki started, he opened the Mino-Hida battlefield without authorization.

Compared with the other two battlefields, the biggest difference between this battlefield is that the two strong people compete with each other, but the strong one is the strong one. This also made him complete victory in less than a month and became a great name for 400,000 stones of knowledge and action.

But Hideno Oda did not think clearly about what consequences would bring about this. You should know that other battlefields, whether it is Hokuriku who was responsible for Hideo's ally Maedada, Kinki who worked with Ukita Hidea and Yamato Toyotoshi clan, Kanto led by Asano Nagamasa, and Kyosu who took the lead in Kano, Kiyoshi Kiyoshimasa, these are all Hideobo's retainers and allies, and the least is the Ozawa School Daimei. Their relationship with Hideobo is much closer than that of Oda clan. Leaving the battlefield to them reflects Hideobo's trust in them, and at the same time, they also have a deep sense of wanting them to make contributions in this battle.

But although Hideno Oda attacked daimyo who was close to Tokugawa clan, he did not follow Hideo's orders in the final analysis. Will Hideo express his happiness from the bottom of his heart with such an impressive record? Obviously, Hideo would not. The purpose of Hideo's fight was to weaken the power of the foreign Daimyo. Hideno Oda did this obviously violated Hideo's original intention. Not only that, Hideo knew in his heart that the daimyo's daimyo had already gone north with him. Unless the Mori conquered the Koshiyama Castle and mino into Mino, these daimyo retainers would not dare to act without authorization. Mori Tadamasa of Iwamura Castle, Inaba Satotsuto of Hachiman Castle, and Hida's Kinson may not be enough to provoke a war against the Oda clan. This is also the reason why Hideo asked Hideno Oda to be responsible for restraining it.

But now, Oda Hidenobu was obviously unwilling to be awarded the merit evaluation of Hidepo's "staying behind Mino, restraining Mino, and Hida Daming" after the war. He won all these Daming names in the hope of getting big bargaining chips so that he could get higher returns after the war.

In fact, before the defeat of the Maori army, especially after the fall of Fushimi, Hidenoon Oda once wanted to attack the Toyotomi coalition forces guarding the southwest. At that time, Ohara, Sanhe and Higashi Omi were empty in defense. If he took advantage of the victory, he had a high chance of defeating the Toyotomi coalition forces and completely controlling Mino. Then he had two choices, one was to lead his troops south and capture Junyuan San, and the other was to enter Omi and attack Ogasawara Takaki with the Maori army, so as to divide the Omi with the Mauri family with the Eight Winds.

But what he didn't expect was that the Maori army was defeated so quickly that he didn't have time to return to Gifu. The situation in Kinki was obviously controlled by the pro-Hidebo faction. All he could do now was to make some money from the periphery and strive for the best results for the post-war assessment.

On the evening of the second day of May, Hideno Oda arrived at Iwamura Castle. The Mino he recruited and Hida had nearly 20,000 troops. He was about to set off to Iida Castle in Shino's Iida Castle, Kyoto Kochi's residence.

But on that night, Oda Hidenobu welcomed Hideo's envoy in Iwamura Castle. The envoy arrived in Gifu Castle a day ago. When he learned that Oda Hidenobu was in Takayama Castle, he rushed to Takayama Castle without stopping. As soon as he arrived at Takayama Castle, he learned that the Oda army had already gone to Iwamura Castle. The envoy wanted to continue chasing, but he had no choice but to rest for a while and not continue his journey until noon on the second day of the lunar month, which was one day late.

The news brought by the Fan was mainly the result and simple process of the Battle of Hinahara. At the same time, Hideo's order was to stick to Mino and prevent the local daimyo from supporting the Tokugawa army rushing to Shinno.

Hideo's victory in Hinahara did not cause too much shock to Oda Hidenobu, but the Tokugawa army was defeated so quickly, which surprised him a lot. In his plan, with the restraint of the Uesugi army, the Tokugawa army could last for at least five to ten days, and it was even possible to form a long-term confrontation. The Oda army could use this period to clear the pro-Tokugawa forces around them, thereby stabilizing their post-war position.

Now that the Aizu war has ended, Hideo has also been on the way west, and he continues to attack Shinono east, which will inevitably arouse Hideo's displeasure and suspicion. Instead of doing this, it is better to return to Gifu and guard Mino according to Hideo's wishes. After all, the two countries have been won, and the rewards received after the war should be much more than those discussed with Hideo before.

So, after sending off the envoy away, Oda Hidenobu immediately set off to return to Gifu Castle, and the 20,000 troops recruited were also dispersed back to various places. In the midst of infinite loss and regret, Oda's ambitions came to an end for the time being.

In fact, long before Oda Hideno met and received a letter from the Toyotomi coalition of Southwest America, Hideopo learned from the ninja about the Oda family's movements in Mino. Takato Fujido, who had always been alert, felt that what Oda Hideno had done was strange, so he suggested that Hideopo take this opportunity to question him.

But Hideopo was not in a hurry to make a conclusion. On the one hand, he believed that the war was coming to an end and the Oda family could no longer cause any major storms, which was not worth worrying. On the other hand, he always had a little compassion for the Oda family. After all, he was once Hideyoshi's master, and as long as he did not openly oppose Toyotomi, there was no need to treat it too harshly.

Therefore, when meeting Oda Hidenobu, Hideopo showed enough tolerance and generosity, but at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with the Oda Army's failure to act according to his orders: "The relationship between Oda and Toyotomi is not needed. But you must be clear that the world is now unified and the people need a stable environment instead of being displaced and being destroyed. If you still have some unrealistic ideas, you should abandon it according to your opinion."
