Chapter 69: Priority and Priority

The materialist dialectic tells us that among the various contradictions contained in complex things, the position of each contradiction and the role it plays in the development of things are different, and there is always a distinction between priority and subordination, important and unimportant, and there must be one contradiction that is in a dominant position compared with other contradictions and plays a decisive role in the development of things, and this contradiction is called the main contradiction.

For the current Owari, the Saito family of Inabayama Castle is the confidant, and Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle is just an incidental product. Shibata Katsuie's "strong attack" and Niwa Nagahide's "persuasion" are all attempts to achieve overnight. However, from a political point of view, the previous successive failures had already damaged the prestige of the Oda family, and what was needed now was a morale-boosting battle, so neither of them was advisable.

"Let's attack Inuyama Castle first."

This was the final conclusion of Oda Nobunaga, and it was very much in line with his pragmatic style. Instead of fantasizing about taking Mino with a shortcut, it is better to take this opportunity to remove the security hazards on the flanks. Excluding Mino's support, coupled with the strategy of the generals of Inuyama Castle, it should be certain to be sure of capturing this area with only two or three thousand mobilization forces at most.

Since he had already spoken, everyone did not raise any more objections, and each returned to his territory to prepare for battle. However, the discussion of the "Inabayama Castle Incident" has continued. Lin Xiuzhen's words did not spread between the middle and bottom levels, because those people often lack understanding of complex politics and only relish the miracle of "17 people seizing the city".

There was no new news from Mino's side, and the development of events confirmed the previous understanding. Antensho and Takenaka Hanbei, who occupied Inabayama Castle, did not make a sound, but to the surprise of some, Saito Ryuko, who was outcast, was also silent, the difference between them was that the former had too few weights in his hands, while the latter was more due to a lack of courage. In the case of scruples on both sides, peace talks are naturally the best choice, anyway, everyone was a family a few months ago, and it is easy to find some messengers who are familiar to both sides.

But on the other hand, Saito Ryuko is not yet seventeen years old, and the castle he shows is actually very much in line with this age, and many big people like him are just a brave man with no plans when they are his age. On the contrary, people like Miyoshi Changqing, who take on complex political tasks before the age of fifteen, are the demons who are very different from the norm.

As one of the few "wise generals" in Owari, Hirate Honhide naturally didn't receive inquiries about this matter, but he laughed it off and didn't answer, and he really couldn't put it off, so he would say some ambiguous and vague conclusions. It wasn't until Oda Nobunaga sent someone to inquire that he roughly wrote down some ideas and asked the attendants to take them back.

Then the question was raised in the military council.

"Have you thought about the matter of Inabayama Castle?"

It was obviously a pre-war meeting to attack Inuyama Castle, but Oda Nobunaga began with this sentence, and what was even more interesting was that other people actually felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Lord, I think there will still be a battle in Minon! Ando and Takenaka can pull out at least 3,000 people to defend the city, and even if Saito Ryuko gathers more than 10,000 people, it will be difficult to unite because of the relationship between the main generals, and the two sides should face each other. ”

Shibata Katsuie seems to have speculated carefully, but the content of the speculation is a little unrealistic. The reasoning on which the judgment was based at the beginning went wrong, and it was naturally impossible to draw a correct conclusion.

If—only if—Saito Ryuko was able to mobilize the remaining retainers and retake Inabayama Castle in turn, then he would be completely overturned and invincible. After that, whether it is severely punishing Ando Takenaka to show justice, or forgiving the two to show leniency, it can have a good effect.

But this is unrealistic, and regardless of whether this person has such ability and courage, if Mino's army gathers together to fight a civil war, the rest of the place will be left to the Oda family.

"Where's Sado?"

Nobunaga took the initiative to ask Lin Xiuzhen's attitude unusually, probably because this person made the closest judgment to reality last time.

"Looking down, they are probably trying to negotiate peace!" The latter's tone was not too confident.

"If you commit the crime of rebellion, is there room for peace?" Shibata objected.

"This ......," Lin was speechless for a while.

"My lord, maybe they will negotiate peace on the condition that Ando and Takenaka will go down to protect their families." Sakuma Nobumori interjected, "Then the family can take the opportunity to recruit those two people." ”

"Ando is a good soldier, Takenaka is a good strategist, they are all Mino pillars, and with these two generals, it will be more certain to attack Minono." Sen Kecheng agreed.

Lin Xiuzhen shook her head and said, "Ando may not be seriously responsible, and he will probably cut off part of his territory, but Takenaka is leading people to attack the main city, at least he must order seppuku to protect his family's name!" Otherwise, the prestige of the Saito clan will be greatly shaken. ”

It is true that Hayashi Watari understands the laws of political transactions very well, but should he underestimate Takenaka Ando or overestimate Ryuko Saito?

Niwa Nagahide saw that everyone almost showed their attitude, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice from the source.

"What do you think?"

At this time, Hirate Honshu could probably judge that Oda Nobunaga had set a positive example - because he had already said his opinion on this in private.

"Sado-sama is right, what Ando Shou did can cover up the past, but if Shigeji Takenaka, who takes the lead, does not punish him severely, the Saito family will lose face."

Lin Xiuzhen was surprised, and smiled sideways at Fan Xiu, who also made a cordial gesture.

Heide continued, "But Ando is a strong man who has been in the business for decades, while Saito Ryuko is just a mediocre and inexperienced person. In addition, the latest news, Michitoshi Nagai has rushed to Kai to seek help from the Takeda family. ”

"Michitoshi Nagai? What does he have to do with this? Nobunaga asked deliberately.

"This person is one of the few talented people in Mino, and he is a member of the Saito family, if he is still in Mino, Saito Ryuxing's side, he will not accept too stupid conditions. Now that he's gone......"

"How?"

"Mamoru Ando will definitely seize the opportunity to meet and make an agreement in his favor."

Nobunaga closed his eyes and bowed his head in approval, but most of the ministers thought about it before they suddenly realized.

Then the topic shifted to the matter of Raiders Inuyama Castle. Niwa Nagahide presented his own achievements - the oath of surrender and hostages offered by the generals of Inuyama Castle, Nakajima Bungo and Wada Shinsuke, which made everyone sigh again.

The pre-war meeting was set up and became a performance venue for both Hirate and Niwa.

Ten days later, the army marched out and took down Inuyama Castle, whose branches had been cut off, and the lord of the castle, Oda Nobuna, fled to Kai and joined the Takeda family as a monk.

In addition, Minong's situation also confirms the assertion of the tie. After the peace was negotiated, Shigeharu Takenaka withdrew from Inabayama Castle, Mamoru Ando also withdrew his troops, and Saito Ryuko returned to the castle smoothly. As a bargain, none of the people involved in the incident were executed, and Ando's territory was not reduced by a stone, and the only personnel change was that Takenaka Hanbei Shimono became a ronin.

This treatment plan made the wealthy families of Mino no longer have any respect for Saito Ryuxing. The daimyo did not punish his own retainers who offended his authority, and it can be said that he was tolerant. Now that he is brazenly attacking the Daimyo Castle, the price paid is only that the secondary responsible person is going to the wilderness, which is not leniency but stupidity.

Michitoshi Nagai, who had returned from Kai, persuaded the ambitious tiger with his demeanor and eloquence. When he rushed to arrive with Takeda Shingen's promise, intending to force Takenaka and Ando to back down, he heard the news of peace between the two sides and almost fell into a coma on the spot. After waking up, the last pillar of the Mino Saito clan almost immediately aged by twenty years.

And the high-spirited Oda Nobunaga immediately made the next specific arrangements. Ikeda Tsuneko was in charge of guarding Inuyama Castle, and the army used it as a basis for attacking nearby fortresses. Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kecheng, who have almost monopolized the vanguard position for ten years, were transferred to the Chinese army this time, but Hirate Tsuhide was transferred to the front line and was in charge of the strategy of the ape pecking city.

…………

From the front line of Inuyama Castle to the castle, it takes two days to take the official road. Back in the city, Fan Xiu felt tired.

It seems that Oda Nobunaga is going to officially include some people who are close servants into the ranks of the family elders. Although Niwa was not less valued than Hayashi and Shibata before, it could even be said that it was too much, but it was only a private occasion, and recently it is probably to clarify the status, which may be a preparation for Kamiraku. Of course, the so-called promotion is just to give a chance to go on the stage, and if you fail the performance, you will naturally bear the consequences.

However, some precautions are also indispensable, such as the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka and Bee Suga Koroku, who were close to Fanxiu, have not visited for a long time, which is obviously not unrelated to the highness, he can tolerate the vertical expansion of the strength of a certain family retainer, but he is very sensitive to the horizontal relationship between different people.

After resting for a while, I suddenly reported that a guest had arrived.

"Guest?"

"I don't know if I should be a guest or not." Asano Nagayoshi hesitated a little, "He claims to be a samurai of his own family, but he doesn't look like a ......."

The samurai are a broad class, with both rough warriors and elegant warriors, so what is the state of "not looking like one"?

Honhide asked Asano Nagayoshi to bring someone up, and it immediately became clear that this man didn't really look like a samurai—unless it was a samurai of the monkey world.

"It's Kinoshita...... I don't know what's the matter? Fanxiu was neither disdainful nor too polite.

"Oh, Lord Prisoner, it was His Highness who allowed the villain to go to war." The monkey fell to the ground and bowed twice, his eyes flashing with a strange luster, "The villain will definitely be able to make a great contribution if he knows that it belongs to you!" ”

That's how it is......

The tie is currently only 700 people plus the Sanhe people, and there is no problem in setting up a reserve team independently, but it is a little thin to be in charge alone, and most of them have to send people from the main formation to replenish them, but they didn't expect him to be among them.

"Then I'll wait and see what you do." Fanxiu said casually.

"Lord Overseer...... The villain is a general of the ashigaru this time, but he doesn't know how to command at the next point, so I hope you will send a senior to guide! The monkey raised his head slightly and sank again, his gaze burning with fervent desire.

This kind of desperate bluntness is really rare. He had nothing to do with Pingshou Fanxiu, at most he only heard that the latter had always been gentle and elegant, so he dared to run over and ask for someone to guide, and made no secret of saying that he "didn't know how to command".

Fan Xiu bowed his head lightly and said, "I'll think about it." ”

"Thank you, Lord Supervisor!" The monkey fell to the ground again.

"It doesn't have to be so polite."

"Yes."

At this time, Ning Ning came in with tea. The monkey looked up, casually met her gaze, and then immediately lowered his head.

Although it was only a very short moment, Fan Xiu saw another kind of eagerness flash in his eyes.

Ning Ning is not a beauty in the appearance of everyone, but this guy's name is Kinoshita Tojiro......

A very subtle anger suddenly rose in Fan Xiu's heart.

"Oh, the villain doesn't dare to bother the prisoner any more." The monkey said this and hurried away.

Fan Xiu glanced at Ning Ning, and suddenly wanted to test her reaction, so he said: "This Kinoshita has grown from a small guy who is not even a small ashigaru to a few years to a branch of the branch, and he is a good talent." ”

The girl was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, her face suddenly turned pale, and she took two steps back and fell to the wall.

Isn't that too heavy? When Tsuyosu wanted to say something more, a new "guest" arrived.

"I'm quitting." Ning Ning hurriedly ran out.

Although Fan Xiu is a little concerned, she will not forget her business.

Coincidentally, the second batch of visitors actually had almost the same purpose. Yamauchi Ichi, who was also transferred to a tie, ran over with a generous face to pull the relationship, hoping to get a good position, preferably as a pioneer, and also pulled Horio Yoshiharu. Although these two defected to the Oda family, they never showed enough ability, but because of Yamauchi's positive attitude and Horio's good popularity, they were able to stay.

Although Yamauchi is somewhat related to Zyko, Hoshu has always disliked his excessive fame. Horio Yoshiharu is deeply appreciated by Tsunohide, because the two of them are equally calm and calm.

However, compared with the previous monkey, Yamauchi Kazutoyo seems much more pleasing to the eye, after all, he is from an orthodox martial arts family, although he has an enterprising heart, he is only used in the front, and he doesn't understand those opportunistic methods. It's a little more enthusiastic than in the past, which makes Yamauchi very happy.

……

After nightfall, Fan Xiu returned to the bedroom, only to find that Ah Dog was comforting Ning Ning, whose face was full of tears. The zygote on the side was like sitting on pins and needles, looking worried.

I don't know when, the impression of the delicate and cowardly little girl also began to have a little bit of motherhood suitable for her family. On the contrary, the independent women of the year are becoming more and more like little women.

"Your Highness......" This is the first time that Ah Dog has been dissatisfied with Fan Xiu, "If you really want to hate Ning Ning, you have to kick her out...... Please allow her to go to the temple to practice. ”

Does it mean that you want to be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and you don't want to get married?

If it is camouflaged...... This seventeen-year-old girl is not yet bold.

Fan Xiu shook his head slightly, and suddenly felt that he was a little worried. After all, the world is different from what it used to know.

So he stepped forward and grabbed Ning Ning's shoulder.

"Your status in my heart is not only inferior to that of a dog, but also far inferior to zygote, even so, is it okay?"

Such blunt words made all the women in the room blush.

Ning Ning's face was about to drip water, but Fang Cai's sad look gradually disappeared.

"It's all on the orders of His Highness......"
