"This trip - probably my last personal expedition." Oda Nobunaga, who was not confused, sat in the main account of the Chinese army, dressed in armor, looked around at the ministers, and used such a sentence as the opening remarks of the military discussion.

His ambition is complacent, and he looks down on the hero's posture, which can be known without asking.

The pen head of the crowd on the side, Oda Nobubo, immediately took over the conversation and said: "Seeing that the Asakura family is already in the bag, and the loyal young master has already been served, the next general trivial matter is confirmed that there is no need for the elder brother to come forward, and it can be ruled by hanging the arch!" ”

Then the important ministers on the left and right, led by Niwa and Shibata, echoed one after another.

The difference is that Niwa's line is: "After Echizen is pacified, the lord's martial arts will be enough to glorify the world, and the chaos in the four directions will come to an end, and the grand wish of 'the world will be clothed with martial arts, and the land of peace and happiness' can also be expected." It is really an honor for the minister to be listed as a member of the account. ”

But Shibata was saying, "In the future, when you sit in Kyoto and command us to attack the Kanto, please send me Katsuya to be a pioneer!" I've long wanted to compete with Takeda, Uesugi, and Hojo, but aren't our Samurai in Owari as good as their Kai, Echigo, and Sagami? ”

Everyone knows that with the style of these two people, they will not flatter against their original intentions.

Therefore, Niwa and Shibata really believed Oda Nobunaga's words, and they were infected by his self-confidence and were full of optimism about the road ahead.

In the same column, Sen Kecheng is cautious of orders, silent, never overstepping, and will not do anything to disturb the scenery at this moment. He was silent, just looking at Nobunaga with his usual resolute gaze, expressing absolute obedience.

Although Takigawa Yiyi said with a cold face: "The matter of attacking Asakura has not yet achieved results, so please forgive the minister for not being able to claim to be a winner." "But this guy has always been this style, and Nobunaga doesn't care about it, but admires it.

Further down, Ikeda Hengxing, as the representative of the second echelon, seemed to be not very satisfied with Takigawa, and stood up violently, without elaborating, raising his hand and shouting, "Oda will win, dominate the world!" ”

Nobunaga snorted lightly at the milk brother's actions, feigning disgust, but after a while, he couldn't help but smile.

"Oh! Oda will win and dominate the world! ”

Six or seven people, including Masano Sakai, Shigemasa Nakagawa, Naokiyo Iio, and Yoritaka Beeya, who were next to Ikeda Tsuneko, immediately stood up and shouted together, as if they had made an appointment in advance.

These generals, who have already made their way out of the limelight, but are still one step away from their old status, have always been in this style of painting, which is not surprising. The military council made such an impassioned and majestic gesture, obviously an attempt to be the vanguard of this battle, and wanted to leave a better impression.

Then the Mino trio, Niwa Clan, Tsuda Nobunao, Makicho Kiyoshi and others, who were originally sitting calmly, also had to follow with an excited and uplifting appearance, so as not to appear disappointed.

No matter how prosperous the Oda family is, there will always be some people who are not so proactive, some because they have joined for a short time and some are estranged, and some are lacking in their own talents and lack the ability to compete for merit.

In this expedition, the Oda family only mobilized a family and a family retainer, and did not invite any outsiders, and the total military strength was about 40,000 or 50,000 people. Those who could attend, except for Nobunaga's close relatives, were only twenty or thirty people, at least at the level of knowing how to do ten thousand stones and leading thousands of soldiers. (It is unlikely that the troops from the 10,000-stone territory alone will reach 1,000, but you have to add the cavalry with the force)

At this moment, Murai Sadakatsu, Shimada Hidemitsu and other senior commissioners are all deploying military rations in the rear, Hayashi Xiuzhen accompanied Oda Nobutada to stay in Gifu Castle, and Sakuma Nobumori is still grounded - the term has expired, but when questioned, he did not respond well, and was ordered by Nobunaga to extend his sentence, and the two counties under his jurisdiction are temporarily managed by Nakagawa Shigemasa and Sakai Masasa. As for this, it is unknown how much acting was shown to the merchants of Kaimachi.

Then the only people present who did not follow the statement were-

"What are you thinking about! Could it be your newborn children? I heard that the man's name is Shuramaru and the woman's name is Akemi? Oda Nobunaga glanced at Hite, and asked in a loud voice, half displeased and half teasingly.

Everyone was discussing it just now, but the guy who was tied with his head lowered and his eyebrows locked and was silent, which was really conspicuous.

A few months ago, the side chambers of Honhide gave birth to a son and a daughter, named Shuramaru and Akemi. This incident was not enough to alarm his colleagues, so there was no public banquet. Who would have thought that Nobunaga, who seemed to be careless and had no spare eyes, was actually well aware of the gossip news of his retainers.

was suddenly named, and the tie was slightly embarrassed.

In fact, he didn't want to play a drama of "everyone is drunk and I am sober", purely because he repeatedly heard Nobunaga say that "the last personal expedition" was not very good.

People in the Middle Ages were not aware that later generations had the so-called "death flag".

The lethality of "after doing this vote is done" is probably second only to "returning to my hometown to get married after this battle".

Nobunaga has definitely said something similar more than once, and Mitsuhei Tetsuhide has heard it with his own ears, and that is the fourth time.

At first, it was fine, but when there was more, I felt that it was inappropriate.

So Fan Xiu subconsciously frowned.

Originally, he would not have been discovered by the leader as soon as he deserted, but who knew that the reaction of his colleagues was very fierce, and they were all expressing their determination and singing praises, so they suddenly highlighted him.

Faced with Nobunaga's questioning, Hite-ho could only find a topic to pick up at random-

"Back to the lord, the ministers are worried about the affairs of the Asai family. They are in the necessary place to crusade against the Asakura family, but they have not yet expressed their attitude...... After all, Asai and Asakura have been allies for many years......"

"It's unfounded!" Nobunaga was unimpressed, "I think that within three days, Asai Bizen Mamoru (Asai Nagamasa) will raise a flag to welcome our army." ”

The Great Demon King's words were concise and to the point.

Niwa Nagahide, who was the deputy, explained, "The Daisho House is really too worried. With the support of Oda, the Asai family only got the opportunity to attack Harima on the Western Expedition, and also obtained the post of 'Harima Guardian', so how could they give up these practical benefits for the sake of a little old friendship? The reason why he hasn't made a public stance now is just because of the situation - in other words, Ling Asai's westward expedition was originally a plan to 'drive the tiger and devour the wolf' proposed by you yourself? ”

Shibata also immediately interjected: "What's more, the princess of the family has married into the Asai family as the main room, and also gave birth to the eldest son, which the Asai family has to think about!" If they became enemies of Oda, it would inevitably lead to conflict and turmoil among their retainers, and even civil strife. ”

His speech caused everyone to say yes, and even Nobunaga nodded slightly.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that Asai Nagamasa once had a history of driving his original wife back to the Rokkaku family.

Immediately afterwards, Takigawa Kazuyi Yuyu added: "As far as the contemptible people know, the Asai family relies on the territory of the five counties of North Omi, and the total number of soldiers that can fight is about 15,000, of which eighty percent of the western expedition to Harima, leaving less than 3,000 old and weak soldiers in Omi, even if you want to stand on the side of Asakura, I am afraid that you are powerless." ”

This is very Takigawa's style, without any emotion, but to the point.

"Ahhh......h It's true that I want to fork the ...... when I say this," Hisho didn't care much about face, and climbed down the stairs to make a sudden realization.

"You kid!" Nobunaga obviously saw that Hidemasa was insincere, but he didn't ask, just smiled and scolded, then reined in his emotions, returned to the topic, and gave a look to Hidemasa Hori, who was standing beside him with drawings in hand.

The latter understood, took two steps forward, and lay on the ground to unfold the map.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lord's plan for the attack on the Asakura family is arranged like this......"
