Hirate and Oda Nobunaga did not discuss the matter in depth about the Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

The other party is a special organization that is completely different from ordinary daimyo, and the Ichisuzu force is more of a social phenomenon than a military organization. To solve a social phenomenon, it is not enough to rely on the backroom conspiracy of two warlords.

The topic is still focused on the "Iga Raiders" in front of you.

Nobunaga had always been impatient in front of his retainers, and after a few brief explanations, he called in the small surname who was waiting outside the door and ordered him to "bring Wonder Pill here to discuss."

After a while, I saw a personable young man in Chinese costumes, surrounded by several waiters, and stepped in.

The person who came was undoubtedly the thirteen-year-old Oda Wonder Maru.

If you are not crowned in Yuanfu, you are not considered an adult, and it is inconvenient to appear on official occasions, so it was not clear before the tie that this child would also follow Shangluo. It's been several years since we met this time, and I basically can't see the appearance of my previous childhood.

Judging from the appearance, Marvelous Maru, as a top "second generation of martial arts", undoubtedly inherited the excellent genes of the Oda family's frequent handsome men and beautiful women. His facial features and body shape are similar to Nobunaga, but his temperament is more plain and soft, less ruthless, and his demeanor is down-to-earth and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not dragged into the mud. Although he has long hair and does not wear a crown, he is full of heroism, and he does not have the slightest sense of weakness that is longer than the hands of a woman in the deep palace.

In a word, it is the mold of an excellent heir. In terms of first impressions alone, it is probably more reliable than his own Yan Chiyomaru.

At this time, Wonder Pill had already arrived.

The young man first bowed to Nobunaga and called him "Father-sama"! Then he immediately turned around, and with the same etiquette, he said respectfully to the flat hand: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my little nephew has always regarded you as a model when he learned the way of civil and martial arts all these years. ”

The voice of the voice changer is a bit strange, but the volume is magnificent, the words are clear, and the tone is frustrated, which makes people feel good.

"How dare you be so ridiculous as a young master? It's better to say that I grew up with Ling Zun as an example. ”

Fan Xiu was busy returning the salute, and secretly praised it in his heart.

The title question just now, if it wasn't someone reminded or accidentally hit it, but Oda Wonder Maru deliberately did it, then this kid would be really smart.

As an heir, how to deal with important ministers is actually very particular. On this occasion, it would be a little rude to call it "Tieshou Hall" or "Fanxiu Hall"; But if you come up with the title of "equal hand-handling adult", it seems a bit out of the ordinary.

Such a sentence of "uncle" is just right to bring the relationship closer and make both parties much easier.

Nobunaga stroked his beard and smiled slightly, turned his head sideways, squinted his eyes and said to his son: "It is very correct to learn from the tie, you will go on the expedition in a few days, you are the nominal commander, and you should listen to the judgment of the tie in all affairs, but don't think that you can act recklessly!" If you get into trouble, even if you are my own flesh and blood, you will be punished as well. ”

He was obviously very satisfied with the wonderful pill, but the tone of his voice was very stern, and there was no encouragement or praise in it.

That's the mindset of being a father.

In fact, just looking at Nobunaga saying so much nagging nonsense is enough to see how much he cares for this son.

You must know that the Demon King often dismisses ordinary retainers with a "uh-huh" or "go-to", and those who can make him say ten words in one breath can be regarded as cronies or important ministers.

In this regard, the tie can only continue to say: "How dare you! How dare you! ”

And Oda Wonder Pill honestly bowed down to accept the order, and replied, "I will definitely cherish this great opportunity to ask for advice from the hirata." ”

"Don't just talk about it." Nobunaga still commanded with a cold face: "Wonder Maru, introduce the battle situation to your uncle." ”

"Yes!" The heir of the Demon King answered crisply, turned around, took the map that had been prepared from the hand of the boy next to him, spread it out, and pushed it to a position in the middle of the room where all three people could see it.

This kind of work used to be usually given to Sugaya Nagayori, Hori Hidemasa and others, but today I deliberately didn't let the side appear, maybe it was to test the wonderful pill.

But doesn't he know enough about his son as a father? Do I need to take a teaching test?

I guess I want to show off in front of outsiders, right?

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

What if a thirteen-year-old and a half-year-old child can explain the situation in Kinai clearly? Isn't it amazing? My family says that Chiyomaru is only nine years old, so she may not be able to do this.

Hum......

No matter how he complained in his heart, the wonderful pill had already spoken.

“…… The enemies of the Iga country are mainly the local people and the remnants of the Rokkaku family. Recently, on the border between Yamato and Iga, the remnants of the Tsutsui family have also been converging with the Iga people. According to our ninja report, there are about 1,000 troops in the remnants of the hexagonal army, and about 2,000 or 3,000 remnants of Tsutsui, all of whom are diehards and should not be ignored. The local people of Iga Province are speculated to be able to gather 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers, but it is unknown whether they are strong or weak. ”

Speaking of this, Marvel Pill paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to introduce:

"Iga Province is surrounded by high mountains and mountains, and there are only two roads for the army to pass. One is to attack Yamada Prefecture in Iga Province through the flat land between Mt. Sanfeng and Mt. Kuruzun from Ise Province, which is the battle line that Lord Takigawa Sakin will be responsible for, so I will not go into detail for the time being. On the other hand, I marched between Mt. Yoshino and Mt. Washimine via Uto-gun, Yamato-gun, and attacked Nabari-gun, in Iga Province, which was exactly where I was going with my uncle. The enemies along the way, the first to bear the brunt of the Tsutsui family's 2,000 remnants, followed by the Kashiwahara Castle Takino clan led by the Iga western wealthy clan, mainly Kashiwahara people, Nahara people, and Bina Zhizhong three gangs. In addition, the whereabouts of the Hexagonal Remnant are uncertain for the time being, and it is not surprising that they encounter them anywhere. ”

After listening quietly, Hijo asked while he was ventilating with Wonder Pill, "The subordinate has two points of confusion. First, now that even the two of the hexagon Yoshiken and the father and son of Yoshiji have been subdued, can the Rokkaku family still gather more than a thousand troops? It's hard to imagine. ”

"I'll be able to help you with that." Marvel Pill immediately picked up, "At present, most of the people who are under the banner of the Roxagonal Family are the forces of Sanyun Chengji. This person has been active in the Koga and Iga generations for a long time, nominally serving Rokkaku, but in fact he is acting on his own, not so much a retainer as an ally. The family also sent people to contact him to try to appease him, but the conditions were far from the same and could not be agreed. In addition, although the father and son of Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiji surrendered, they received the protection of the princess and were not strictly controlled by the family, which probably made the rest of the party have illusions. ”

"I see." Fan Xiu nodded, "What the young master said is really orderly and enlightening. ”

"That's a big deal. Uncle, what is your other question? Marvel Maru still maintained a very polite posture.

"Another question is about the situation of the Tsutsui family." "I don't know much about Yamato, but I know that the Tsutsui family has a lot to do with Kofukuji Temple in Nara and is very popular with believers, but I don't know what the actual situation is?" ”

"About this-" Marvel Maru smiled bitterly awkwardly, "Actually, the Tsutsui family has sent envoys many times, claiming that they are not willing to confront the main family, but the princess has already entrusted the Yamato country to Matsunaga Danmasa, and Matsunaga and Tsutsui are rivals, so Tsutsui has to raise troops to fight." The reason for this is that when they were in Shangluo three years ago, the Tsutsui family failed to send an envoy in time to obtain the approval of the new government, and they were mistaken for the Miyoshi Party. Maybe Matsunaga is secretly doing something......"

That's really the reason

Hirate Hinoshu had heard about the fact that the Tsutsui family had missed Oda Kamiraku because of the lack of news, but he never cared about the truth of this rumor. Today, it was confirmed by the wonderful pill, and it can only feel ridiculous.

Although Tsutsui Shunkei has a close relationship with monks, he is also a samurai, how can he be so indifferent to the general trend of the world? Ambition is too lacking!

However, on the other hand, in such a lack of ambition, he was still able to equal Matsunaga Hide, and it was not until the latter received reinforcements from Sakuma that he gradually lost his opponent, which also reflects that the Tsutsui family does have an extremely deep "mass base". This kind of land snake power is actually very difficult to bite, and from the game experience, the attributes of Shima Zuojin, Mori Yoshiyuki, and Matsukura Shigenobu are not low.

What happens if you try to surrender? Matsunaga Shu definitely can't say anything there. Yoshiaki and Nobunaga have clearly entrusted the guardian of Yamato to this guy, so they can't slap themselves in the face, at least not so clearly.

Like a shallow well, persuade the tube well to be sealed?

It doesn't seem realistic either.

Asai was able to accept the proposal for a big move because they had shallow roots in Omi. Tsutsui has been rooted in Yamato for hundreds of years, how can he easily abandon his ancestral business?

When I think about it, I always feel that there may not be no peaceful solution, but it needs to be done well.

Hisho Honxiu's thoughts fluttered, and he lost his mind a little for a while, and Wonder Pill had already started to talk about the arrangement of the army:

"There are 3,000 Kimoto, 5,000 Ichimoto, 3,500 Mino, 2,000 Owari and 2,000 Owari, as well as about 15,000 samples from Yamato Matsunaga, Settsu Ikeda, Kawachi Hatakeyama, Omi Gamo, Mikawa Mizuno, etc., plus 4,000 people from the Heite family, for a total of 32,500 people available. When the time comes, I will ask you to guide you in arranging the formation. ”

Oda Wonder Maru's words are very level, and he divides the forces under his command into three parts.

First of all, Oda's direct banner is undoubted, and there is no doubt about the combat effectiveness and loyalty, and the number is definitely not much. This time, Nobunaga was willing to give 3,000 people, and he was already treated as a son. (It's really my own son)

The second is a lot of people, and the two ministers of the United States. This part belongs to the long-standing community of interests, and as long as there are no big surprises, they are all trustworthy. Owari has the smallest number of people, which means that most of the land in the country is a direct domain or a public domain.

The next batch is the retainers who need further investigation. Of course, the ones that can be mentioned by Marvelous Pill are relatively reliable samples, and the unreliable ones will be handed over to Takigawa to deal with. (As for why Matsunaga is considered reliable...... That's a good question)

"Your subordinates will do their best." The draw responded immediately.

The status of our Hirate family in the hearts of Oda and his son will definitely not belong to the first column, but no matter how you say it, we must try our best to stay in the scope of the second column, but we must not fall into the third column.

More than 30,000 men, more than double the size of the largest troops he had commanded before, and at first glance it looked quite frightening. However, if you think about it carefully, the supply line is very long to bypass the two mountain ranges to attack Iga Country, and it is estimated that most of the people will score points for transportation, and the maximum number that can reach the front line is 15,000.

It's not that you can't command.

After saying that, Nobunaga, who had been silent and thought he was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and announced in an unquestionable tone: "Two days later, it will be the Wonderful Pill Motofu, remember to be there to watch the ceremony; Three days later, everything will be in order; In addition, after going out, by the way, I called Kusuke (Takigawa Kazuki) to come in. ”
