Niwa Nagahide bowed.
"Hidemei Oden, with the skills of Owari and Mino, do you want to leave some troops to prepare for accidents?"
Oda Nobunaga pointed at Niwa Nagahide and smiled.
"When you mention Imagawa Yoshimoto, I know who you are thinking of.
My sister Mikawa is indeed amazing, Matsudaira. . No, it should be called the Tokugawa family now. The Tokugawa family occupies three rivers and two rivers, and the stone height should be 550,000 koku, right?
Are you worried that Tokugawa Ieyasu will take advantage of us to go to Luo and stab me in the back? "
Niwa Changxiu looked embarrassed and did not dare to speak. If you are on guard against your allies, of course you should say something secretly. How could anyone say it so carelessly like Oda Nobunaga?
If these words reach the ears of His Highness Tokugawa and he thinks that Niwa Nagahide is sowing discord behind his back and ruining the friendship between the Oda and Tokugawa families, Niwa Nagahide will commit seppuku.
Seeing her silence, Oda Nobunaga laughed and said.
"Mi Wuniang, what are you afraid of? I understand, I won't make things difficult for you.
My Mikawa sister is not that stupid, and Takeda Harunobu behind her is not an easy guy to deal with either.
They joined forces to divide the Imagawa family's territory, and now they didn't like each other. Tokugawa Ieyasu still has to count on me to help her deal with the strong soldiers of the Takeda family. How could she betray her alliance so easily?
Don't worry, we are an unbreakable alliance, leading from victory to victory.
I will write to her and invite her to go to Luo with me. You see, she calls herself Tokugawa Miao, which is a bit embarrassing.
Let our new Ashikaga general help her clear her name, hahaha. "
Oda Nobunaga looked arrogant, as if General Ashikaga was a dog she raised. Whatever you want her to do, she has to do it.
Niwa Nagahide felt a little creepy when he saw her attitude.
Oda Nobunaga's lawless temper was already known to everyone in Owari and Mino, and no one could afford to offend him.
The Wu family admired the strong, and the Wu families of the two countries were overwhelmed by her. Even the existence of the Zu clan, which threatened the Wu family's privileges, had to acquiesce.
But after entering the recent years, the Oda family is about to enter the big stage of the world. Is it really okay for Oda Nobunaga to be like this?
Niwa Nagahide was a little flustered, not knowing what kind of future Oda Nobunaga would lead the Oda family to.
But no matter what, she couldn't look back. She is Oda Nobunaga's best friend, and her own interests are tightly tied to Oda Nobunaga's chariot. Only follow, there is no possibility of deviation.
Niwa Nagahide thought for a while and asked.
"Will His Highness Tokugawa Ieyasu be willing to go to Luo?
You also said that the Tokugawa family and the Takeda family are in tit-for-tat. At this time, does she dare to stay away from the territory? "
Oda Nobunaga shrugged and said.
"The name Tokugawa Miao is incorrect and her words are inconsistent. If this name is not resolved, the Tokugawa family will have problems sooner or later.
Tokugawa Ieyasu is a smart person. To resolve this matter sooner rather than later, she will definitely follow me to Luo.
As for the Takeda family, I also find it weird.
After conquering Suruga Kingdom, Takeda Harunobu stopped moving. No matter how much trouble there was in Guandong, she never went to join in the fun and seek some benefits.
This made my Mikawa sister feel like she was facing a formidable enemy, thinking that Takeda Harunobu was not paying attention to the chaos in Kanto and was going to attack her.
The results of it?
Takeda Harunobu went directly back to his hometown in Kai Country, where he was inexplicably idle for more than half a year. It is said that he even picked up a child and adopted him as his adopted daughter.
I really don't understand, what is going on in her mind? "
Niwa Nagahide said.
“Suruga Country is the foundation of the Imagawa family, the position of the Suruga people is ambiguous, and the Takeda family’s rule is not stable.
I think His Highness Takeda's approach is good. When dealing with external forces, one must first settle the internal affairs. Slowing down the pace to clean up the internal affairs and digest the territory is actually the best policy. "
Oda Nobunaga glanced at her and knew that this confidant was trying to admonish him.
The Oda family developed so fast that Oda Nobunaga was like a wild horse running wild all the way.
Not to mention that the martial arts families of Owari and Mino felt out of breath, the cronies around Oda Nobunaga were also tired.
The result of rapid expansion is an unstable foundation and many hidden dangers. Oda Nobunaga was also unconventional, constantly innovating the system and infringing on the interests of the traditional samurai family.
Niwa Nagahide was really worried about whether the seemingly promising Oda family business would pass by like a meteor. Before anyone could react, it collapsed.
This time, she used the Takeda family's advice to tactfully put forward her advice.
Oda Nobunaga glared at her and cursed.
"It's a good idea, Takeda Harunobu is just like a wild monkey in Mount Kai, with short-sighted eyes.
In a world of great strife, seize the day and night. One step is slow, each step is slow.
The world is in such a state of ruin that even Ashikaga General cannot save his own life. Everyone is desperately trying to expand. If they don’t strengthen themselves quickly, they will end up being swallowed up by others.
In troubled times, whoever expands his territory first will get more land, population, money and food. There will be more troops to fight and expand a larger territory.
Securing territory? Dog p!
What is the virtue of the Wu family? If you dare to give them a few less whips, these people will just muddle along holding on to their own one-third of an acre of land.
Takeda Harunobu doesn't want to make progress, huh, what a fool. "
Niwa Nagahide was helpless and was sprayed in the face by Oda Nobunaga's spittle. This means that he has deep feelings for her. If it were anyone else, he would have been beaten by Oda Nobunaga.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside. Oda Nobunaga shouted, the sliding door opened, and Hashiba Hideyoshi and three others bowed respectfully at the door.
Oda Nobunaga touched his nose and said.
"It turns out that my little monkey is here, come in!"
The three of them stepped forward and kowtowed to the ground.
Oda Nobunaga was half lying on the main seat, yawning as he accepted the three people's visit and said.
"Hideyoshi, you came very quickly."
Hashiba Hideyoshi raised his head and said flatteringly.
"How dare I neglect when I hear the call from the main hall? Of course I have to come day and night to listen to your orders."
Oda Nobunaga glanced at the three of them proudly and said to Niwa Nagahide.
"You should learn how to talk to her, she makes me angry all the time."
Niwa Nagahide smiled bitterly and shook his head. Hashiba Hideyoshi did not dare to let her misunderstand, and bowed to her.
"Lord Niwa, long time no see. The main hall is just a joke. How can I be compared with you?"
Niwa Nagahide was so polite that he returned the courtesy and smiled.
"You are too careful, so careful that it makes people feel distressed.
The main hall likes to joke, you and I just listen, why bother to explain. "
Oda Nobunaga curled his lips. Both of them were her confidants, and they were not willing to embarrass themselves anymore. His eyes turned to Hachisuga Masakatsu and Takenaka Shigeharu behind Hideyoshi Hashiba.
It's no big deal that Hachisuga Masakatsu was the leader. Takenaka Shigeharu came to serve him that year, and she still remembers his arrogant look.
Seeing that she has become honest now, following Hideyoshi Hashiba for more than a year. Oda Nobunaga suddenly had a bad taste and said.
"Isn't this Konaki from Meinong Country? If you come here today, can you also give me a pair of dragons?"
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was disgusting again, Hideyoshi Hashiba looked helplessly at Niwa Nagahide, and looked worriedly at Takenaka Shigeharu behind him.
Takenaka Shigeharu's reputation as a talented military advisor was widely spread in Mino.
Japanese samurai always like to be exaggerated, and some metaphors are really hard to describe. Takenaka Shigeharu has been compared to today's Kong Ming and Zhuge Liang.
Oda Nobunaga's words were just to bury her for fun. Who knew, Takenaka Shigeharu’s eyes flashed.
She originally hoped that one word would impress Oda Nobunaga and pave the way for Hashiba Hideyoshi's recent trip. Now this great opportunity comes with no effort.
Takenaka Shigeharu bowed solemnly and said.
"The main hall is above. Although I dare not compare myself to Zhuge Wuhou, I have a plan that will benefit Shangluo.
I just don’t know if I am going to the main hall to conquer the Western General and make him a Marquis of Cao, or if I want to serve the emperor and order the princes. "
As soon as she said this, all Ji Ji's eyes were fixed on her. Especially Oda Nobunaga, his face suddenly turned cold.
The Japanese samurai know the Three Kingdoms well and are familiar with Cao Cao's affairs. Oda Nobunaga compared Takenaka Shigeharu to Kong Ming, which was a joke used by a superior to tease his subordinates.
But who is Takenaka Shigeharu to dare to retort, is he a bit brave?
It was Cao Cao's ideal in the first half of his life to be a general who conquered the west and seek a title. As a result, she embarked on the path of becoming a powerful minister who held the emperor in power to control the princes.
Takenaka Shigeharu compared this matter to Oda Nobunaga, and he was questioning her nakedly. If you want to be a loyal minister of the Ashikaga Shogun family, you still have to embark on the journey of the world.
Fortunately, Japanese samurai have always admired Cao Cao. If this metaphor were placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Takenaka Shigeharu would already be dead.
Niwa Nagahide didn't expect Takenaka Shigeharu to dare to tease Oda Nobunaga like this. This lord can make people crazy even if she doesn't do anything. Why are you handing her a ladder?
Hashiba Hideyoshi was even sweating on his head and his legs were trembling with fear. Beside him, Masakatsu Hoshisuga simply lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Oda Nobunaga stared at Takenaka Shigeharu for a long time. Seeing that her expression was as usual and she was respectfully waiting for his answer, he suddenly became a little interested.
She asked with a smile on her face.
"Oh? What's the difference between them? Please tell me carefully."
Takenaka Shigeharu looked calm and talked eloquently.
"If the main purpose of the main hall is to win the reputation of a loyal minister, then with the strength of the Oda family, it is not a problem to rebel and go to Luo, work for the Ashikaga family, and sweep away the Miyoshi family.
But if you have great ambitions in the world, it may be more useful to keep these three good families. "
Oda Nobunaga showed strong interest in his eyes, pointed at her and said.
"How did you know I was going to Luo? Did someone tell you?"
Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"If it's not for Shangluo, why should the main hall forgive the eight counties of North Ise?"
Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands and said.
"smart people.
Yes, I was invited by His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki of the Ashikaga Shogun family to assist her in going to Kyoto to eliminate the three good rebels and establish the shogunate.
It's just that I don't understand why you think it would be more beneficial for me to stay at Sanhao Family? "
Takenaka Shigeharu said solemnly.
"In the main hall, the martial arts family has been close to the center of the shogunate in recent years, and we have always looked down on the martial arts families outside the region.
Whether it is the Miyoshi family from Shikoku or our Oda family from the Noo Plains, they are all objects of contempt for them. "
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Niwa Nagahide beside him, and he snorted as he remembered that she once mentioned the Owari countryside that Ashikaga Yoshiaki accidentally said.
"In their hearts, I'm just a country bumpkin from Owari."
Takenaka Shigeharu said.
“So, once we successfully go to Luo, we will help the shogunate completely expel the Miyoshi family.
In recent times, instead of being grateful to us, the Wu family will dislike us. I hope we can go back to our countryside as soon as possible so that we won’t be an eyesore in recent times. "
Oda Nobunaga said with a twitching corner of his mouth and a fierce look in his eyes.
"Indeed."
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"In that case, why should we do what they want?
If the Miyoshi family is expelled from Konki, the Oda family will lose their use value. These Konki samurai will definitely try their best to get us out.
Therefore, the best way is to keep the Sanhao family, not drive them out, and support the bandits to respect themselves. "
Oda Nobunaga squinted his eyes and murmured.
"If you don't drive them out, you will respect yourself by supporting the invaders? Let's talk about it in detail."
Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"Driving the Miyoshi family away from Kyoto and driving them back to Nishi Konki, they did not eradicate their roots and left them to threaten the shogunate in the west.
Then, we slowly digested Omi Kingdom, the gateway to Eastern Konki, and established a firm foothold in Eastern Konki.
As long as the threat of the Miyoshi family is not gone, the Kyoto shogunate will not dare to really fall out with you. This is the most beneficial situation for us. "
Oda Nobunaga pondered for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at Takenaka Shigeharu and saying.
"Okay, what a good Jin Kongming, today I finally got to see the genius of Meinong's military advisor.
Takenaka Shigeharu, you are very talented and I like it. Come back, come to me and help me. "
After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, Hashiba Hideyoshi's face turned pale instantly.
Takenaka Shigeharu was sent to her by Oda Nobunaga, so of course she can take it back. At the thought of losing the assistance of Takenaka Shigeharu, Hideyoshi Hashiba felt heartbroken.
Takenaka Shigeji's expression remained unchanged, he kowtowed to the ground and said.
"The main hall values it, but I am afraid.
It’s just that I have benefited a lot from serving under Lord Yushiba for more than a year. I don't dare to be greedy for credit. What I said today is also due to Mr. Yu Chai's contribution.
The situation in recent years has been chaotic and the relationships between various families are complicated. I'm afraid that if I make an oversight, the wisdom of the hall will be damaged.
Please take back your life and let me continue to do what I can under the command of Lord Yushiba. "
Oda Nobunaga raised her eyebrows. She would not believe Takenaka Shigeharu's excuse. She knew Hashiba Hideyoshi too well, a confidant who was born as a servant.
There is some cleverness, but his background and experience are too poor, and his vision is not enough to see through the recent situation. Hideyoshi's future may be promising, but right now he's just a small character.
Oda Nobunaga looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba expressionlessly and asked.
"Takenaka Shigeharu values you very much, Hideyoshi. What about you? What do you think?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi's little heart had just been on a roller coaster, and he was deeply moved when he heard Takenaka Shigeharu's words.
She has understood that this is the true meaning of what Takenaka Shigeharu said before, that he would fight for opportunities for her.
With the deepening of the military reform of the Oda family, Hashiba Hideyoshi was no longer of much use to Oda Nobunaga.
Takenaka Shigeharu is using his own suggestions and wisdom to create an opportunity for Hashiba Hideyoshi to perform in the near future.
Takenaka Shigeharu said it easily, drive away but not drive away, support the bandits with self-respect, but the scale and control are not that simple.
The samurai family of the shogunate were not fools and would not just watch the Oda family grind down foreign workers. If it is done too obviously and people get the handle, the Oda family may not be able to take advantage.
