Due to the impact of the war in Higashimino, both Owari and Mino's autumn harvest this year has been greatly affected. However, these losses were insignificant compared to the results achieved by the Oda family this time.

After the fall of Seki Castle, direct communication between Inabayama Castle and the vast area of Higashimino had been cut off. The only way to convey the message was through the deserted, mountainous North America. However, these trails could only be passed by a lone courier, and it was simply unrealistic to allow a large army to pass through them. As a result, Higashimino has actually become an "enclave", and the Saito family's army cannot reach Higashimino, and Higashimino's army cannot reach Inabayama.

Oda Nobunaga immediately seized on this point and began to make a fuss, and immediately after the autumn harvest, he regrouped his forces and put pressure on Higashimino from the direction of Inuyama and Kanayama. The Toyama family and the Endo family of Higashi Mino could not resist the army of the Oda family, and the Saito family of Inabayama Castle was isolated from afar, and there was no way to rush to help, so they were forced to sue Oda Nobunaga for peace. The Toyama family was already related to Oda Nobunaga by marriage, so it was logical to return to the Oda family. The Endo family was unwilling to give in easily and was trapped in the mountain castle. A large number of wealthy families in Higashimino also stood up at this moment, and nearly half of them surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, and large territories of Ena County, Toki County, Kore County, and Kamo County fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga.

However, Oda Nobunaga did not immediately launch a pacification strategy against Higashiminon, because after years of campaigning, Owari had a shortage of manpower and men. Niwa Nagahide and others all suggested that Oda Nobunaga should recuperate, and after establishing an advantage over Mino, he could just snowball slowly, and there was no need to use a sword.

After collecting troops and returning to the territory, Yu Qiuhei received a letter from Asai Nagamasa - a letter of good news. It turned out that Ah Shi gave birth to a little princess for Asai Nagamasa just three days ago! Yu Qiuping vaguely remembers that in the history of the previous life, Asai Nagamasa and Aichi gave birth to a total of three daughters, who were called the three Asai sisters by later generations, because these three sisters were famous for their legendary marriages. The eldest daughter Chacha married Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who became a man of the world, the second daughter Ah Chu married into the famous Kyogoku family, and the third daughter Ah Jiang had a rather bumpy emotional experience, but finally married Tokugawa Hidetada, the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the second general of the Tokugawa shogunate. The fact that the three sisters are so sought after by these high-ranking and powerful names shows that their beauty is indeed overwhelming. It's no wonder that the daughter of Aichi, the first beauty of the Warring States period, and the handsome Asai Nagamasa, are naturally also beauties.

Yu Qiuping didn't know that because he changed history in this life, the day when Asai Nagamasa and Ashi gave birth to their first daughter, Asai Chacha, was two years earlier than in the history of the previous life.

However, such good news really made Yu Qiuping happy for a while, and he also passed the good news to Oda Nobunaga. But Yu Qiuping could also know with his toes how upset his fox friends who wanted to eat swan meat must have been when they learned that Aichi had given birth to a daughter for Asai Nagamasa.

A few days later, Asai Nagamasa, because the excitement of his daughter's birth didn't seem to have passed, actually sent another letter to Yu Qiuping. In the letter, Asai Nagamasa also used a joking tone to ask Yu Qiuping's eldest son Yu Qiuping for his little princess Chacha. After Yu Qiuping smiled, he was also quite moved in his heart, because it showed that Asai Nagamasa did not mind Yu Qiu's disability.

Thinking of this, Yuqiu slowly folded the letter in her hand, stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the study downstairs. Today, Yu Qiuyou followed Amano Jingde to observe a legal proceedings, and only Yu Qiuyu should be studying in the study.

Sure enough, when Yu Qiuping pushed the door open, he happened to see Shigeharu Takenaka and Yu Qiuyan sitting opposite each other on tatami mats, and there was a chessboard in the middle of the two people. And Imagawa Kaede also sat beside Yu Qiuyu with a smile, watching his son clumsily rehearse according to the set pattern on the chess game written by Yu Qiuping. And sitting on the side, there is Naoe Chengyuanmaru, who is just three years old this year, who is watching Yu Qiuyan fiddling with chess pieces with a blank expression.

"Half-guard, what are you teaching the martyrs?" Yu Qiuping walked to Shigeji Takenaka's side and sat down cross-legged, and asked with a smile at Yu Qiuping.

"Momiji, I'm teaching him Go." Shigeji Takenaka replied softly, but his eyes did not leave Yu Qiuyan's small hand holding the chess piece.

"Oh? I'm learning chess! Not bad! Yu Qiuping smiled when he heard this, and patted Yu Qiuyan's shoulder, "Dad also started learning Go when you were your age!" If you want to learn Go well, you must start laying the foundation from such an old age. ”

"But Dad," Yu Qiuyan raised his head with some annoyance, put the sunspot in his hand back into the chess box, and whispered to Yu Qiuping: "You can't learn how to learn." Mrs. Jing Yi has been teaching me and Ayou for almost a month, and I still don't play well, but Ayou already looks good. ”

"Learning chess is a matter of more than ten years or even decades, and it is not an overnight thing," Yu Qiuping smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, take your time." ”

"But You'er, he can learn well." Yu Qiuyan muttered in a low voice with some grievances: "Why no matter what I do... Are they all worse than Ayou, and they are much worse than other children? ”

"Brother Yan'er can't say that!" Not long after Naoe Chengyuanmaru, who was sitting next to Yu Qiuyan, learned to speak, he retorted angrily: "Brother Yan'er is obviously very powerful." ”

"Cheng Yuan Maru..."Yu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flickered with emotion.

"Look, we Chengyuan Pill don't think you can't do it, how can Yan'er be arrogant." Yu Qiuping rubbed Yu Qiuping's hair a few times and comforted softly.

"But every time I play against Ayou, I am not his opponent at all, and he has won a lot." Yu Qiuyan lowered his head, and with some unwillingness, he took out a black chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard as it was on the chess game.

"Well...," Yu Qiuping scratched his head, "I haven't seen you go down either, why don't you wait for him to come back in the evening, and you guys will take a look at it in front of me?" I'll help you find out why. ”

After hearing that his brother was going to play chess with him, and his father would sit next to him and watch, Yu Qiuyou immediately jumped three feet high excitedly. Originally, my brother didn't want to go down with him because he couldn't get off every time. It's rare to have a chance to play, and he naturally won't let it go.

After dinner in the evening, Yu Qiuyu and Yu Qiuyou sat on opposite sides of the chessboard in the study and started a game. Yu Qiuping, Imagawa Kaede, Shigeharu Takenaka, Keitori Amano, and Naota Ii sat around the chessboard and formed a large-scale observation group. Yu Qiuyou saw so many people watching him play chess, and his face turned red with excitement. And Yu Qiuyan was a little cramped and uneasy because of so many gazes.

Yu Qiuyou is black, and Yu Qiuyou is white, two small figures are kneeling there, but they look good. Yu Qiuping is proficient in Go, and after watching dozens of hands, he realized that these two children probably already had the level of about five or six levels of Chinese Go in their previous lives, and it can be said that they have learned very quickly.

Watching these two children play chess can also reflect the personalities and characteristics of the two. Yu Qiuyan is slow to play chess, and he has to think for a while before each hand falls. And Yu Qiuyou didn't think much about it, every chess hand was played by relying on the sense of chess, raising his hand to fall, and "popping" to the ground quickly.

Gradually, Yu Qiuping began to see some doorways. Yu Qiuyan obviously memorized the formula written by Yu Qiuping and the one that circulated at that time very skillfully, and every move and style had a clear eye, without the slightest deviation, and he would go where he should be. And Yu Qiuyou's style is quite jumpy, with big open and closed moves, not only often not playing chess according to the fixed formula but imaginatively, but also frequently taking off the first to seize a favorable position. Every time Yu Qiuyou does not change his moves according to the formula, Yu Qiuyu will fall into a long test, and there will be a lot of problems in the final response. And when Yu Qiuyou took off the front, Yu Qiuyu always stuck to the formula, and he must complete the number of moves he should take to ensure that there are no flaws in his chess, and give up the competition for a large piece of open space.

The two sides went back and forth, constantly landing on the chessboard, but the victory and defeat were quietly tilting towards Yu Qiuyou's side. Yu Qiuyou's play is quite aggressive, but he grabs a large open space with his chess sense. Yu Qiuyou, on the other hand, is much more conservative, although he keeps his chess and turf tight, but often by the end of the layout, two-thirds of the territory has been controlled by Yu Qiuyou.

And Yu Qiuyou doesn't seem to like to venture into Yu Qiuyou's large open space, but always tries to counter those flaws left by Yu Qiuyou because of his first-in-class moves. Although such a battle was won nine times out of ten, there were almost no defeats. But he can often only eat one or two seeds, but in the process of fighting, he has formed a thick momentum, making Yu Qiuyou's large open space and belly difficult to touch.

In the closing stage, Yu Qiuyu did much better than Yu Qiuyou. Which hand is the first move, which hand has more eyes are calculated quite clearly, and there is no flaw in every move, and a lot of money has been earned. On the other hand, Yu Qiuyou's performance at the end was lackluster, and there were even some small mistakes that led to Yu Qiuyu being eaten a few more.

Then, Yu Qiuyou's advantage in the layout stage was so huge that even if he missed repeatedly, he still led by a huge number of meshes. In the end, he won the game with 197 mesh, cheering happily. Yu Qiuyan was a little unwilling, he clutched the last white piece in his hand, and swept every corner of the chessboard with a lost gaze, trying to find the mistakes he had made.

Yu Qiuping looked at the overall situation and already understood it in his heart. He smiled and reached out to touch the heads of the two children.

"You're all doing well, and it's amazing to be able to play so well in such a short period of time." Yu Qiuping changed his words and whispered again: "However, there are also many things that need to be improved!" ”
