"I plan to let Marvel Pill serve in two days, this battle is the first battle, and the duty of assisting him will trouble you!"

Nobunaga, who has returned to work, speaks straightforwardly and concisely.

But Tieshou was a little surprised when he heard this.

Marvel Maru (the future Oda Nobutada) is thirteen years old, and this age is the right time to take it; Coming to Kyoto for the crown ceremony,; Choosing a large army to assemble and not be able to defeat the battle as the first battle is even more appropriate. But this is not the same as the original good situation, right?

Therefore, Hitei asked suspiciously: "I thought that the lord of this war was to kill people with a knife and weaken the power of the wealthy clans." ”

Unexpectedly, Nobunaga replied, "The two go hand in hand, and do not interfere with each other." ”

"Uh...... Please forgive your Majesty for being stupid......"

The tie is completely incomprehensible at this moment.

If you want to make the first battle for Marvel Maru, then you must have to win the battle as the core purpose, and it doesn't have to be a big victory with great significance, but at least you can't lose. According to this line of thinking, we should fight steadily, step by step, and use the monstrous financial resources of the Oda family to pile up a battle without suspense, and then build momentum in public opinion.

If you want to kill people with a knife and weaken the wealthy family, you must do the opposite and deliberately give away people's heads, and the worse you lose, the better. It's not that difficult, Iga Province has always been a place where the people are turned into outsiders, and it is famous for its methods of cultivating ninjas, and its combat ability is also super strong.

However, now Nobunaga is talking about "two ways to go hand in hand", which is not easy to understand.

Could it be that the wealthy clan was sent to death first, and then the men and horses of the Oda headquarters descended from the sky to reverse the situation? This operation is too difficult, right?

The sword light and sword shadow on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and once there is a slight mistake, it is likely to form a landslide.

You said that you want to defeat first and then win, and deceive the enemy by defeat? That's even more untouching! In this tactic, the decoy role must be played by the most elite troops, who need to bear the losses without really breaking up, but also need to maintain the ability to counterattack, and finally have the consciousness of annihilation. A bunch of wealthy coalition rabble will definitely not meet this standard.

Otherwise, why can only the Shimazu family be able to use such an effective and easy-to-understand art of war?

Even if the Demon King dares to act boldly, he can't mess around like this, what if he kills the sister-in-law of Wonder Pill? (Actually, it's not a son-in-law, but just enjoys the treatment of a son-in-law)

Then Nobunaga explained: "The army here is divided into two routes, one is led by Takigawa, and attacks Iga from Ise, and only defeat is allowed; On the other hand, Marvelous Pill is in charge, you are a deputy general, arrogant and attacking, only allowed to win and not defeat; I stayed in Kyoto with Lord Gongkata. ”

"I see......" Hisho Honhide breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he understood what the other party meant. Then, after thinking about it carefully following the words of the Demon King, it really dawned on him, and he immediately complimented: "The lord's plan is really wonderful!" ”

"Hmph......" Nobunaga chuckled with his head held high, a look of disdain on his face, but he couldn't help but smile smugly at the corners of his mouth.

Although the words just now sounded simple, they obviously contained a deep meaning.

"Soldiers are divided into two routes" does not simply refer to military action, but is more of a political act. The real intention is to divide the wealthy families of the countries.

Among them, the group that is more obedient and friendly to the Oda family will follow Oda Wonder Maru and get the opportunity to fight side by side with the second generation to form a friendship, which will undoubtedly make their position more inclined to Oda.

And the rest, who are unwilling to give face to the Oda family, are led by Takigawa Kazuki, and the fate of cannon fodder is gone. In terms of the ability of his teammates, Takigawa is not inferior to Sakuma.

Best of all, all plans were made in the name of the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki had no reason to oppose it.

And the responsibility of Tie Tsunosu is to assist the young master Wonder Pill, fight steadily, make a big victory worth boasting about, and by the way, enhance the relationship with the pro-Oda forces.

This task, naturally, is not very simple, but I finally have a spectrum in my heart.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga spoke again: "What you said about 'building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king' is right. Therefore, in the past two years, I have only done three major things: one is to standardize the work process of the shogunate, the second is to ensure that Kaimachi and Ikuno Ginzan, and the third is to maintain peace with the Kanto Daimyo. If there is anything else, it is that the daimyo are not allowed to skip the level of petitioning; As for raiding Ise Province and the like, it's all secondary. ”

Nobunaga, who cherishes words like gold, rarely said such a long sentence in one breath, and Hisho Tsuhide naturally listened carefully.

Nobunaga was very happy that he could listen to the advice and slow down. Avoiding harsh measures would not cause too much irritation to the anti-Oda forces, and the emergence of a large encirclement would have been avoided. It's just that after pondering it repeatedly, I realized from Nobunaga's words that there was a vague intention to take a back seat.

Common sense seems incomprehensible.

So he said tentatively: "The lord is now in the spring and autumn season, and the retainers are still waiting for you to lead everyone to the next level!" The 'three major events' at this time, perhaps ten years later, are no longer surprising. ”

The so-called "going to the next level" undoubtedly refers to the replacement of the Ashikaga family's Muromachi shogunate and the re-establishment of a new public ceremony regime, and Heide Toshu does not intend to hide this point.

And the term of "ten years" also shows that according to Hirate Honhide's prediction, it will take so much effort for the Oda family to become the lord of the world.

"Ten years?" Nobunaga repeated thoughtfully, apparently understanding what Tsuhide's words meant. Then he said with a little regret: "If everything goes well, after solving Asakura in the coming year, transferring to Asai, and taking the two kingdoms of Omi and Echizen, I will not need to personally lead the troops into battle." ”

I see.

The little depression in the words of the Demon King is not because of poor spirit and lack of fighting spirit, but because he feels that the enemy is too weak.

He's so confident.

But this self-confidence is not without its source.

If, as he said, "settle Asakura and transfer Asai to Asai", then Oda would occupy the territory of the five large powers of Owari, Mino, Ise, Omi, and Echizen, close to 3 million koku, and in addition, Heate in the Seto Inland Sea and Niwa in San'in will also gain a firm foothold, plus the gradual integration of the various wealthy clans of...... According to estimates, it is enough to maintain a standing army of 70,000 or 80,000 plus 200,000 miscellaneous soldiers. Such an exaggerated numerical advantage can crush other Sengoku daimyos, and what powerhouses such as Takeda Uesugi Mori Hojo, under the absolute strength gap, may not be fundamentally different from Saito, Rokkaku, and Kitabatake.

But will things really go that well?

First of all, there are a bunch of small forces in, although they are all inconspicuous, it is still quite annoying when forming a siege network.

However, if Nobunaga seems to have heeded his advice and would take a more cautious and tactful approach to integrating the five kingdoms of Kinai, the encirclement may have been avoided......

Then there is the Asakura family. This 100-strong family has 30,000 soldiers, and there are also Tsuruga people who can fight well as strikers, which is not easy to deal with.

However, now that the plan to "lead the water to the west" has succeeded, Asai Nagamasa took his main force to Kansai to work hard, leaving only his father to stay in Kotani Castle. Without the support of the Asai family, if you have a single Asakura......

Things really look going well!

Could it be that with the help of the time-travelers, the Oda family's Azuchi regime will come to the stage earlier than the original history?

Hirate honshu subconsciously felt that he had overlooked something, and he searched in his mind until he remembered the conversation he had with Honda Masanobu the other night.

So the words "Honganji" blurted out.

That's right, the biggest hidden danger at the moment is the group of monks who have always been in the Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

In the original history, Asakura Asai Kazuki only blocked it for three years, but it was Honganji Xianru, who held on to Ishiyama for ten years, always held back Oda's main force, and also killed the general Naomasa Tsukasa, and indirectly led to Sakuma Nobumori being exiled.

Not to mention the "glorious deeds" that caused the blood of the Oda family to flow into a river under Nagashima Castle.

Hearing this name, Nobunaga's face immediately turned cloudy.

Of course, he didn't know about the "original history", but he naturally had access to find out about the situation at Ishiyama Honganji.

Obviously, Ichimune has already secretly stretched out his hand, Honda Masanobu is by no means the only target of infiltration, and Hirate Honhide is by no means the only one who is aware of the danger.
