Kinoshita Hideyoshi gritted his teeth and said.
"Build a city here for the Oda family."
Hachisuka Xiaoliu glanced at her and then looked around.
I realized that I was not mistaken, this was indeed the territory of Mino, the territory of Isshiki Yoshiryu.
She stretched her waist lazily, pointed at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was confused, and said to the left and right wild samurai.
"Tie her to a stone and throw her into the river to feed the fish. How dare you entertain me? You should die."
Several wild warriors cheered and stepped forward to hold Kinoshita Hideyoshi down and tie him up.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was born as a servant, so he was no match for these sturdy wild samurai. He shouted in horror.
"Everything I tell is the truth! Hachisuka Xiaoliu! I am here to talk to you sincerely! You have to believe me!"
Haizuka Xiaoliu was drinking water by himself, waving his hands to indicate to his men that they had tied up the people and stones and got out of here quickly.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi shouted repeatedly, but no one paid attention to her.
A group of wild samurai watched her cry with tears and snot all over her face, and kept yelling, which was very interesting.
At the moment when he was finally being carried away, Kinoshita Hideyoshi shouted at Hachisuka Koryu.
"Haizuka Masakatsu! You were sent by your family to seek a living on this river! Are you willing to be exposed to wind, rain, and hunger?
You don’t want to do something great in glory and open the eyes of those tribesmen who are throwing you around like a pawn!
I can not be reconciled! I don't want to die! I, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, haven’t become famous yet!
I don’t want to be a little feng shui forever! I want to stand out! I want all those who look down on me to kneel at my feet!
I can't die yet! Can't die! "
Haizuka Xiaoliu's face was as heavy as water and he shouted.
"Wait, put her down first."
She walked up to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who had his hands and feet tied, and his face was covered in tears and couldn't open his eyes, and sneered.
"You understand, this is already the boundary of Mino, the territory of the Isshiki family. You want to build a city for the Oda family here, don't you have a bad mind!"
Kinoshita Hideyoshi escaped from death, took a few deep breaths, and asked.
"If it weren't for such a great achievement, how could there be such a generous reward for you and me to stand out!"
Haizuka Xiaoliu was stunned, it made sense.
"Who asked you to come to me?"
"Master Toshiie Maeda of Shiba Territory!"
Haizuka Xiaoliu narrowed his eyes. The Maeda family in Arakko City was a wealthy family in Kaidong County.
Maeda Toshiie is very famous in the Owari samurai family, and is now the acting official of the Shiba family, holding a high position of authority.
The Hachisuka family is also a samurai family in Kaidong County, and the two parties do have some contacts. If this girl was recommended by Maeda Toshiie, this matter must be done.
Her real name is Masakatsu Hoshisuga, and the nickname Xiaoliu was used by the wild samurai group.
Although she was the legitimate daughter of the Hachisuka family, she was left to become the leader of a dangerous wild samurai on the Kiso River. Only she knew the ups and downs.
Now, Maeda Toshiie has recommended him to help the Oda family build a city. Once successful, the reward will be enough to return to Hazusuka Township to show off his power.
She asked with twinkling eyes.
"how do you want to do it?"
"You are responsible for confusing the vision of the Meinong defenders, and I will dig ditches, build horse fences, and build earthen forts.
You can ignore the zashiki and longhouses in the city and only focus on external defense.
In addition, you have to transport wood and stone along the Kiso River. The supplies will be provided by Niwa Nagahide, and the Oda family will send farmers and soldiers to help build the city.
The most important thing is that you must ensure that no one can hinder the construction of the city within ten days to ensure that I complete the task! "
Haizuka Xiaoliu was furious.
"Put it off! How is that possible!
A group of people were busy building the city. Even the fools in Meinong knew how to destroy and drive them away. How could they remain indifferent?
Ten days? It takes less than five days to be exposed. "
Kinoshita Hideyoshi retorted.
"There are many trees on the hills here. You can build a city in the woods, and then cut down the surrounding obstructing trees after completion.
Even if they are finally discovered, it will take time for the opponent to mobilize their troops. You wild samurai are best at harassing people in the mountains. You can successfully block them for a few days. "
Haizuka Xiaoliu was so angry that he laughed.
"How many days? How many of my sisters will die in just a short time? Do you think fighting is just a game of house? You're going to die, little kid!"
Kinoshita Hideyoshi replied coldly.
"In this troubled world, people are bound to die. How hard have you endured this winter? How many people have died?
Even if the Hachisuka family cares about your life and death, will they care about the life and death of your sisters?
Rather than starve to death and freeze to death, aren't you willing to fight for these sisters and your future?
You are still not a woman, you are not a man who takes charge of your subordinates. You can live by crying. "
Hazusuka Xiaoliu was so angry that he raised his hand to slap her, but when he saw her stubbornly raising her head, her eyes were filled with scorching wildfire, and he couldn't slap her for a moment.
After a long while, he slowly put his hand on her shoulder and said.
"Explain the plan carefully, and I will work with you to fix the loopholes and make a big bet!"
"good!"
———
In Owari Province, outside Inuyama Castle, Katsuie Shibata smiles like a flower.
Many years of military service have left no traces of years of hard work on her. On the contrary, she has a strong figure and a heroic temperament, which is exactly what Yu Jie was in her moving years.
She pulled Maeda Toshiie who had just arrived, chuckled and rolled up her two dimples, and said.
"Li Jiaji, I've been waiting for you to come.
His Highness said that you wanted to represent the Shiba family and form an army with me to fight. I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true.
You and I, sisters, can we separate ourselves from each other or form an alliance.
If you hadn't argued hard for it, I would have been beheaded by His Highness in public after the battle, and I wouldn't be where I am today. "
Maeda Toshiie smiled slightly and said humbly.
"Shibata-sama was joking.
It was His Highness Oda who valued your talent in the first place. This is your own ability. It doesn't matter whether I said a few words or not.
This visit is also an opportunity given by His Highness Oda, so that I can make some contributions with you and receive rewards.
Any alliance forces are just a joke. The Shiba family in Owari is no more than Manshi territory, and the military strength is only one-stop, so there is no room for me to interrupt randomly.
This battle must be fought with your head in mind. Your military orders are like a mountain, and none of my subordinates dare to slack off. "
Shibata Katsuie smiled even more when she heard this, and enthusiastically pulled her towards the meeting hall inside.
No wonder everyone likes to make friends with Maeda Toshiie. Judging from his speaking skills, he makes people feel happy.
Is Shibata Katsuie really grateful for her life-saving grace? That's an excuse.
Both of them knew in their hearts what kind of temper Oda Nobunaga was. People who deserved to die could not be saved, and people who deserved to live could not die.
Shibata Katsuie was just confused that Oda Nobunaga sent Maeda Toshiie to form a coalition with the Oda Shiba family, and he couldn't figure out the master's mind, so he tried to test him.
In addition to complimenting her, Maeda Toshiie also pointed out that he only wanted to achieve meritorious service and had no intention of competing with her for dominance, thus dispelling her concerns.
You should know that although the Oda family sent more troops and the Shiba family had fewer troops, politically, the status of the two sides was opposite.
The Oda family was born as a retainer of Shiba. Although the Shiba clan was destroyed and the current Shiba family is just a separate family, there is no doubt that the governor of the family, Yoshigan Shiba, is the direct son of the clan.
Politically, Oda Nobunaga ruled Owari Kingdom as the guardian of Owari, but he lacked confidence when facing the guardian's legitimate son, Yoshigan Shiba.
This principle is the same in the formation of coalition forces, so Maeda Toshiie's initiative to give in won the favor of Shibata Katsuie.
Oda Nobunaga assigned her to conquer Higashi Mino in order to keep her away from afar and try not to let the Owari Shiba leader come into contact with the nearby Shiba leader.
This is the way to be a king, to take precautions before they happen.
Maeda Toshiie disapproved of Oda Nobunaga's little thoughts, and even found them funny.
While Oda Nobunaga was wary of the Owari Shiba collar, a strange existence that he had to recognize out of political necessity, Maeda Toshiie was also silently paying attention to the changes within the Oda family.
She was born into the Owari wealthy family. She has a good temperament and has good relations with all the Owari families. She is also a close confidant of Oda Nobunaga. She is from the wild child group and has a close relationship.
Although she was already a Shiba retainer at this time, each family was still relatively close to her, allowing her to have a deep understanding of the inside story of the Oda family.
Before she left, Oda Nobunaga had already begun to expand his mother's clothing group, which was divided into red mother's clothing group and black mother's clothing group.
This elite group is led by Nobunaga's most trusted milk sister, Ikeda Tsuneaki.
The reserve team directly led by Nobunaga was handed over to Mori Katsunari and Kajiri Hidetaka, who fought for her in the Battle of Inao.
Niwa Nagahide was responsible for directing general affairs for him.
These people are all close confidants of Oda Nobunaga Naomi. As her position gradually stabilizes, the Owari families headed by Shibata Katsuie no longer pose a threat to her.
Especially Shibata Katsuie himself, although he still leads the family's old reserve team.
However, as the Oda family expanded to the entire Owari Kingdom, their status and knowledge seemed to rise, but the proportion of their military strength actually declined.
This made her alert, and she actively catered to her master's Mino strategy, and moved closer to Oda Nobunaga, intending to ensure her own importance and avoid the fate of Yuzou.
She had followed Oda Nobuyuki in the rebellion and almost killed Oda Nobunaga. This lord has a perverse personality, who knows if he will settle the score later.
On the contrary, Niwa Nagahide, a close confidant of Oda Nobunaga, was very critical of the Mino strategy. He felt that the new collar had an unstable footing and it was not safe to expand again.
Maeda Toshiie has a good idea of the thoughts of all parties in the Oda family, and Oda Nobunaga arranged for her to come to Higashi Mino, which was exactly what he wanted.
After Shibata Katsuie brought her into the meeting hall with a smile, Maeda Toshiie couldn't help but smile when he saw that all the Wu family members sitting there were familiar faces.
This is where she thrives. To win over the Owari families and conquer Higashi Mino, she must penetrate deeper and deeper into the Oda family.
One day, Mr. Yiyin will need me, and that will be my chance to show my value and be sold at a high price.
