When the tie brought the news back, he did encounter some doubts.

The flanks and members of the army were very resistant to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's conditions, because his request was tantamount to making Nobunaga himself a hostage, which was emotionally unacceptable.

But these people don't have enough courage to fight against the tie, and can only use side-knocking, delaying tactics, and cold treatment to indirectly express their dissatisfaction. Takigawa Kazuki was inclined to agree, arguing that "this is the only way to protect the Oda family at present, and all other ideas are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." Beeya Yoritaka, Nakagawa Shigemasa and others were in a dilemma and hesitated.

In particular, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also deliberately said that he wanted to let Hirate Toshihide transfer to the shogunate, which is very sensitive and meaningful in the current situation, and it can't help but make people think deeply.

Everyone belonged to the same column as each other, and there was no strict relationship between the top and bottom of each other, and if they could not reach agreement, they could not act, and the discussion continued for more than an hour without results.

Seeing that it was difficult to convince, Pingshou Fan Xiu simply stopped talking, but ordered someone to count the team roster - and then found that in just a few days, there were nearly two deserters who left the army without permission!

In this case, he had to be prepared to act hard.

Fortunately, Nobunaga was able to wake up again for a rare moment. After listening to the whole story, his emotions were very complicated, he covered his chest and opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say anything clearly, and finally dipped his fingers in water and wanted to write on the ground.

Seeing this, the people on the side hurriedly presented pen and ink.

Then Nobunaga trembled and stretched out his hand to write down the word "Yi", signaling to hand it to Hiratum, indicating his attitude of agreement.

At this time, from the outside, it seemed that the gunshot wound in his chest had improved greatly, but at the same time, his forehead began to burn, and he could not spit out words normally. Based on a little superficial medical experience in later generations, Heide speculated that a severe inflammatory reaction began to occur throughout the body, and the larynx may have swelled to an exaggerated level.

He did not die of fatal injuries, but died of post-injury infection, which is also the norm in the era of cold weapons.

Unless penicillin can be invented in one day, it ...... I can only pray that Nobunaga and his old man's fortune will be great to carry this wave, and the subsequent physical damage will not have time to think about it.

Since I wrote it myself, I no longer had any doubts, and everyone prepared to go to Kyoto.

And Oda Nobunaga leaned weakly on the mat, and after everyone came out of the account, he suddenly had a strength out of nowhere, grabbed a brush and brushed on the paper to write down the four Chinese characters of "Tangwu Old Things".

Immediately, as if he had exhausted all his qi and blood, he lay down with his eyes closed, and no longer did anything.

As the heir to an orthodox samurai family, Nobunaga was smart since he was a child and had a literati like Hirate Masahide as a teacher, although he was cynical on the surface, but his knowledge was not bad, he naturally knew that Shang Tang and King Wen of Zhou had been bound by the nominal monarch due to the limitations of the situation when there were many generals. But he was cautious, endured humiliation, and finally made a comeback and achieved the royal industry.

As long as he kept his life and the foundation of the Oda family, all concessions were negotiable.

This concept not only needs to be instilled in the second generation and retainers, but also repeatedly emphasized in one's own heart.

……

It was at this time that Ikeda Tsuneko brought Oda Nobutada from Gifu Castle.

The young second generation saw this messy situation and knew what was about to happen, as if struck by lightning, he knelt down in front of the collapse, bowed three times, and was silent for a long time.

Nobunaga's eyes showed a hint of relief, but he didn't have the energy to express more feelings.

Hirate was a little unbearable to be disturbed, so he approached Ikeda Tsuneko and asked, "Why did the young master only react in Gifu Castle so far?" What is the situation in Mino and Owari? Did you hear anything unusual in the east? ”

"Don't mention it, I feel that there seem to be a lot of people along the way who are deliberately intercepting and killing their own envoys (heralds), but fortunately, I have more than 1,000 people and they are all cavalry, and no one in this area can stop them. The situation in Mino is not good, and Anteng, Inaba, and the clan are all sick at home, so of course you know what it means, so we decided to leave Hayashi, Kawajiri and others behind to garrison Gifu Castle. As for the eastern side, it is really impossible to take care of it in such a short period of time, and now everyone is speculating whether the Takeda family will take the opportunity to invade Echigo, or will they ......go to Rakuro from the Tokaido."

When Takigawa Kazuyi heard this, he also took two steps closer and said: "There is also news from Ise Province, saying that a small number of die-hard elements of the Kitabatake family are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to restore, and the country is divided into two factions...... In the middle of the draw, how are your Izumi and Awaji? ”

"There is a sea route apart, so there is not much danger for the time being, but I just want to say sorry to my colleagues in Sanuki. The Iseni Shihao clan has been purged a bit, and Iwanari Tomoto, led by General Miyoshi, has a firm stance, so there won't be any chaos for a while - in fact, what I'm most concerned about now is that someone deliberately sabotaged the Oda family's intelligence network, maybe we have been misled a lot now, but we still don't know it......" Hirate Tsunohide tried to comfort the two in front of him, but he frowned first as he spoke.

"Among the nations, the famous one for hunting and killing enemy ninjas is Echigo's 'Regenyuan', and a few years ago there was one called 'Kato Duanzo', and it is said that even Uesugi Kenshin was afraid of it. Maybe this person came to Kinai with an elite army......" Takigawa Kazuyi was very familiar with these dark side things, but he didn't go into details, but immediately changed the subject, "I always thought that it was impossible for the Uesugi family to come to Echizen with a large army, at most a partial division of about 5,000 people...... However, at this point, we have too many enemies at the moment, and even if we get the support of the shogunate, we can only guarantee that the enemies will not continue to multiply, and we may not be able to get many reinforcements. After the victory of Settsu's Miyoshi Nagayi Connection, it is estimated that 20,000 people can be integrated, and the main force of Asakura will go south, and there will be at least 30,000 people...... We only have more than 20,000 people, whether to divide the troops, or break through each one, and you are the leader of the formation, please make a quick decision. ”

"The troops must be divided!" Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help but interject, "Neither can Miyoshi Nagaitsu enter Kyoto, nor can Asakura Yoshikei enter Gifu!" ”

In this regard, Takigawa replied coldly: "That force is far from enough. ”

Ikeda Hengxing frowned and shook his head: "Lord Takikawa, you are too pessimistic, although Lord Shibata was defeated, he was not completely annihilated, and there will always be defeated troops gathered next, Niwa and Mori may have saved some troops after the break in Echizen, didn't the Asai family also come back from Harima?" Mikawa Tokugawa will definitely send some reinforcements over. In addition, after the shogunate clearly supported the main family, it was impossible for the people of Mino to defect, and Matsunaga, Hatano and other watchers would also echo it, including Honganji Temple and Mt. Hiei, and most of them would stop their hostile actions in the dark...... All in all, we must divide our troops, and we definitely have the ability to divide them. ”

Tieshou Fan Xiu had already calculated, and at this time he spoke: "What the two of you say has its own reason, but my opinion is that before figuring out the specific military situation of the North Continent, we will not consider the division of troops. Don't forget that the young lord has been brought to Kyoto to take over the position of family governor, and even if Gifu Castle is lost for a while, it will not cause a big disaster. If the Uesugi family did send a large number of troops to reinforce Asakura, then the northern front could only retreat for a period of time and wait for the enemy's supplies to be insufficient. The enemy that must be dealt with now is still Miyoshi Nagaitsu, who threatens Kyoto. As for Asai and Tokugawa...... The former's attitude is hard to predict now, while the latter may have run out of self-care......"

At this time, Oda Nobutada walked over with a pale face.

The three of them bowed in unison.

Ikeda immediately brought out the discussion and asked Oda Nobutada's opinion.

"This ...... Please allow me to think about your suggestions before replying. The young second generation obviously lacks enough experience and courage to provoke the beam, and his words are quite unconfident.

Hitetsu Higaku's expression remained unchanged, Ikeda shook his head with sympathy in his eyes, while Takigawa Kazuyi frowned in displeasure.

Oda Nobutada did not notice the small actions of his retainers, and he eagerly began the next topic: "Draw on affairs!" I heard that Lord Kokata asked you to become a retainer of the shogunate, and you replied in the affirmative? Is this part of the agreement? ”

When the words landed, Fan Xiu was suddenly dumbfounded, and when he was discussing the military situation just now, he obviously put this matter behind him.

Regarding the question of the purpose of the second generation, he was speechless, and could only bend down deeply to ask for guilt: "Please forgive your subordinates for being disloyal!" ”

Ikeda sighed heavily in frustration and stepped forward to explain, "There is no way to do this...... If we can't reach an agreement with Lord Gongfang, we will have to forcibly lead troops to occupy Kyoto, and then we will only be more passive. His Majesty was convinced that the Oda clan was as loyal to the Oda clan as anyone else. ”

Oda Nobutada was silent.

Ikeda Hengxing is an interesting person, who is not lacking in power struggles and various secret conflicts with his ties, but he can stand up and say "fair words" at critical moments.

And Takigawa Yiyi's gaze has already seen a further level: "Young Lord, please forgive your subordinates for bluntly saying that now the master of the peace hand is both Izumi and Awaji, which is related to 200,000 people and 10,000 soldiers, and whether he is loyal or not is no longer something he can decide alone." If the young lord works hard to maintain the posture of the Oda family commanding, then the two countries of Izumi and Awaji will naturally be loyal to you. But if anything goes wrong in the future...... Even if the Tarashi himself is still loyal to the Oda family, I'm afraid the retainers and countrymen under his command may not be obedient! ”

Takigawa Kazuki speaks, and it has always been this "nonsense and truth" style.

At that time, Nobunaga was completely unimpressed by his outrageous remarks, and at that time people only thought that Nobunaga was very remarkable. Because Nobunaga's own authority is unquestionable.

But today Takikawa is still talking like this in front of the second generation, but the atmosphere is very weird.

Listening to it will appear too weak, and rebuking it will appear intolerable.

The Lord Shaoguo suspects that when Enwei is not born, it is so troublesome, and if you are not careful, you will lose people's hearts.

I really don't know if Takigawa Kazuyi didn't expect it, or did he deliberately want to embarrass Oda Nobutada?

In short, in the end, Oda Nobutada just pursed his lips and said with a twisted face: "Lord Takikawa is right, I will do my best in the next place and not fall into the prestige of my father." ”
