What Daxiong Chaoxiu said was too direct, and Ueda Nobukata was a little embarrassed.

Kakizaki Jingjia shouted: "Big bear, you should also pay attention to the occasion when you speak." ”

As soon as Kakizaki Keika spoke, and showed angry eyes, the big bear turned his head to the side of the show and did not speak.

Ueda Nobukata looked at the middle-aged samurai with a ponytail samurai hairstyle and a beard on his face, and that face was now long.

He said in his heart: So this is the Big Bear Chaoxiu? With this mouth, it's no wonder that the relationship with other retainers is not good.

Daxiong Chaoxiu did not have a good relationship with other retainers, so he rebelled when Nagao Jinghu went out to be a monk.

As a result, Nagao Keitora returned to be the head of the house, and Okuma Asahide was forced to leave Echigo and defect to Takeda Harunobu.

Although Ueda Nobukata was revealed by the truth of the big bear Asahide, he was not annoyed, but said: "The family is indeed facing the invasion of the Takeda family now, and this time I asked my father-in-law to help form the Liudi horse team, which is also to make up for the weakness of the cavalry team.

Last time, Kakizakaki fought with the Takeda family's Iitomi Akabei, and there was a small victory in the frontal strategy, which was enough to see the might of the Takeda cavalry.

However, when it comes to defense, the Takeda family will definitely sink into the sand. ”

Regarding the combat power of the cavalry of the Takeda family, after the Kakizaki Keijia returned home last time, they talked to Nagao Jinghu once.

Takeda Akabei, who was supposed to be formed after the First Battle of Kawanakajima, is now being formed.

The main reason is that Iitomi Torama provided a lot of information, especially when he personally fought with the Kakizaki Keijia, and he had an intuitive feeling of the cavalry combat power of Echigo.

Takeda Akabei is not all cavalry troops, and the number of cavalry in an army is generally between three and five percent. Of course, the Takeda family will have a little more, and it's normal.

Just like Ueda Nobukata, although he only has more than 3,000 people, if he really wants to form cavalry, he can at least form 300 to 500.

This is mainly due to the fact that he has a horse production area, and he is also close to some of the horse production places.

Of course, there are also some remarks that Takeda Akabei is not a cavalry unit, or that the mode of battle is not a cavalry group charge, but a dismounted foot battle.

It is undeniable that there are indeed cases of cavalry dismounting and foot fighting, but it is definitely wrong to deny the cavalry group to charge.

In the eyes of modern people, if you don't look closely, at a cursory glance, the average height of a Japanese horse is less than 1.4 meters, and by the standard established in the West, this is a small horse.

However, the average height of Mongolian horses is only about 1.4 meters, but this does not prevent the fact that the Mongols swept across Europe and Asia.

Dismount and fight on foot is more in the western region, after all, there are more mountains, and many sub-countries are far away from the horse-producing areas, and war is a money-consuming act, and it is normal for many daimyo in the western country to not be able to raise large-scale cavalry.

However, in the eastern country, there are still a lot of cavalry group charges, and although Takeda Akabi is not all cavalry, the cavalry system is established, and its power cannot be underestimated.

Although the Japanese war horse is relatively short, compared to the same period of the same period of the same short Yu himself, the impact of the war horse can still cause great damage.

Nagao Jinghu heard Ueda Nobufang mention the cavalry of the Takeda family, and naturally knew the approximate combat strength of the Takeda family, and he said bluntly: "Takeda Harunobu is such an unrighteous person, he will definitely lose to me, and I have the blessing of Bishamen!" ”

The long-tailed Jinghu said the righteousness, Ueda Nobufang nodded again and again, if others said this, he wouldn't believe it, but the long-tailed Jinghu was half right, he just had to follow the flag and shout.

Ueda Nobukata mentioned the critical situation in the Kanto region, especially the Kanto Governor, and Nagao Keitora was also distressed.

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly said, "It would be nice if the leader of the palace came to Echigo." ”

Nagao Jinghu nodded and said: "When I pacify Echigo, as long as the leader of the palace gives an order, I will lead the troops out of Kanto and kill the Hojo clan!" ”

Usami Dingman's heart trembled when he heard it, the water of Kanto can interfere, but what kind of person is Nagao Jinghu, very righteous, anyway, it will be thankless for Echigo when the time comes, and he will put Echigo in.

He hurriedly said: "Ueda has worked hard from afar, why don't you rest first?" ”

Long-tailed Jinghu also felt that he had been chatting for a long time, so he ended the topic.

Ueda Nobukata also stopped at the point and went to see Ogasawara Nagashi.

Now, the last thing Ogasawara wanted to see for a long time was Ueda Nobukata, and just now his daughter actually asked him to hand over the Ogasawara Art of War to Ueda Nobukata.

Enraged, he slapped his daughter and scolded her for not being part of the Ogasawara family anymore.

Ogasawara Akizuki was very aggrieved and went back to his room.

Ueda Nobukata came to the courtyard to pay a visit, Ogasawara had an extremely ugly face, he approached Ueda Nobukata and asked, "What else do you want, you just don't leave me at all?" ”

Ueda Nobukata didn't take the topic, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law is sincere, I just want to get rid of Takeda Harunobu for my father-in-law." ”

Ogasawara gritted his teeth and said, "Ha, Takeda Harunobu was driven away by you, can I go back to Shinano as a guard?" When the time comes, will the people of all over the country listen to me, or you, the guardian. ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled: "Father-in-law is too worried, the Takeda family is extremely powerful, and the son-in-law doesn't know when he can drive Takeda Harunobu away."

As for who Shinano will be in charge of in the future, the son-in-law does not know, and this has its own court law, and when the father-in-law goes to the imperial palace to serve His Royal Highness, he has his own son-in-law to manage it. ”

Ogasawara squinted his eyes for a long time, which meant that after Shinano was pacified, he Ogasawara would be sent to the Nijo Imperial Palace for a long time to be with the shogun.

He said coldly: "You are not afraid that I will directly call out the warrior with a sword and kill you now!" ”

Ueda Nobukata still didn't panic, he smiled: "Although my father-in-law was defeated twice by Takeda Harunobu, the world thinks you are weak, but I don't know that this is because my father-in-law is too smart and doesn't like to break the boat."

So how could my father-in-law kill me? As soon as I died, my father-in-law's family would not be able to save their lives, so my son-in-law was not worried about my father-in-law's excessive behavior. ”

Ogasawara got up for a long time and turned around and left.

Ueda Nobukata paused and returned to his courtyard.

Ogasawara Akizuki asked Ogasawara about Ogasawara Art of War because he didn't help Ueda Nobukata, and he was also scolded, feeling both aggrieved and guilty.

As soon as Ueda Nobukata came back, he saw Ogasawara Akizuki sullen, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and when he saw her face with red marks, he also comforted her softly.

Ogasawara Akizuki decided to go to her mother and talk to her brother.

The next day, Ueda Nobukata went to play with the retainers of the Nagao family. As for Ogasawara Akizuki, he went to see his mother, Renkov.

Ogasawara Akizuki sent a lot of rouge gouache and silk when he visited the people of Nigasawara, and the people of Nigasawara wandered with Ogasawara for a long time, so they were naturally not as generous as before in these aspects.

And these gifts touched her heart very much.

Ogasawara Akizuki said, "In the past, when I was in Shinano, my mother liked these things very much, but now in Echigo, my daughter rarely sees her mother buy them.

So when I came from Shinano, I bought these and came to honor my mother. ”

Renkov's eyes turned red, wiped a little tear, and said, "I really miss the days I used to have in Shinano, and I don't know when I will be able to go back." ”

Ogasawara Akizuki comforted: "Mother, don't worry, Your Highness is contacting Nagao Tengyu to expel Takeda Harunobu together, but I don't understand why my father didn't take action together."

Obviously, His Royal Highness needs the help of the Ogasawara family's rogue horse team, and his father is unwilling to gather the samurai of his family who are scattered all over the world. ”

Renkov was also surprised: "How could His Highness be like this, Ueda's son-in-law has helped him like this, I really don't know what to do." Is he so fond of sending people under the fence?

Qiuyue, don't worry, I will definitely admonish Your Highness. ”

Ogasawara Akizuki was overjoyed to receive her mother's assurance.

As for Ogasawara Chitaka's side, she sent someone to send money and a female concubine, and the person who gave the gift was her nurse Sanlian.

Sanlian expressed Ogasawara Akizuki's request, hoping that Ogasawara Nataka would persuade Ogasawara to hand over Ogasawara's Art of War to Ueda Nobukata.

Ogasawara Nataka frowned and said, "Ogasawara The Art of War is a family tradition, how can it be easily taught to others?" My father would not have willed. ”

Sanlian said: "Even if the prince doesn't help, Ueda Hall will find Ogasawara Art of War sooner or later." It is better for the prince to take out the Ogasawara Art of War now and make a good relationship in front of Ueda Palace.

When Ueda Hall recaptures Shinano, even if it is difficult for the prince to take over the guard, at least Ueda Hall will remember your merits, and it is not necessary to grant Andu. ”

Ogasawara Nataka hesitated a little and didn't say anything.

Sanlian continued: "What else is the prince considering? If Her Royal Highness the Princess can ask for the Ogasawara Art of War for Her Royal Highness Ueda, then Her Royal Highness the Princess will have a higher status with Her Royal Highness Ueda.

And Her Royal Highness the princess will leave the son-in-law for Her Royal Highness Ueda, and after the son-in-law succeeds to the throne in the future, is the prince afraid that there will be no chance? ”

Ogasawara Nataka hurriedly said: "Ahem, Akizuki and Ueda Hall are so affectionate, how can I, as a brother, refuse such a request, you tell my sister that I will definitely bring Ogasawara the Art of War." ”

In the evening, Ogasawara had a gloomy expression on his face, and his wife persuaded him to hand over Ogasawara to Ueda Nobukata so that he could return to Shinano as soon as possible.

And his eldest son, Chitaka, also asked him to hand over the Ogasawara Art of War to Ueda Nobukata, who was already a guardian anyway, and they were wandering.

What's the use of holding the official position of guardian in the air? Maybe you might lose your life.

Ueda Nobukata will definitely seek a position to guard, so it's better to form a good relationship with Ueda Nobukata, wait for his sister to give birth to the son-in-law of the Ueda family, and then ask for a place of knowledge from his nephew, and slowly revitalize the Ogasawara family.

Ogasawara sighed for a long time, he still decided to hand over Ogasawara's art of war, and he would also help Ueda Nobukata to call on his former ministers to help, but he must make Ueda Nobukata pay some price.

When Ueda Nobukata learned that Ogasawara was willing to hand over Ogasawara's art of war and help him form a team of ryudi, he immediately ran to see Ogasawara Nagasa.

Ogasawara was expressionless for a long time, looked at Ueda Nobukata and said, "I will give you things, and I will also help you with the Liudi Horse Team, but you have to pay a price." ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled, "What does my father-in-law want to ask?" ”

Ogasawara said very solemnly for a long time: "You don't have the surname Ueda, I will accept you as a son-in-law and adopted son, you inherit Ogasawara's family name, and the position of Shinano's guardian will also be passed on to you."

However, you have to reward Chimelong with a piece of land of knowledge and deeds! That's my condition. ”

Ueda Nobukata's heart moved, anyway, his surname is also Ogasawara's concubine, and it is nothing to inherit Ogasawara's family name.

He hurriedly confirmed: "Is my father-in-law's words true? ”

Ogasawara nodded for a long time and said, "Of course, I can let Nagao witness it, and I can go to His Royal Highness the Imperial Court to ask for the will and announce it to the world." ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled, and he said, "In this way, the son-in-law thanked his father." As long as my father does what you said, when it comes, the son-in-law will immediately seal the territory of Brother Changlong's five thousand stones. ”

Ogasawara had already made up his mind, and without hesitation, he took out a book that recorded Ogasawara's art of war and handed it to Ueda Nobukata.

The book is written in traditional Chinese, and in this era, it seems solemn to write in Chinese.
