After learning of the great events that took place in, Oda Nobunaga immediately summoned all the important ministers to come to Kiyoshu Castle for a meeting. He has been committed to pacifying, so he is naturally particularly sensitive to this matter.

"Matsunaga Show is now a street rat that everyone shouts and beats! The Miyoshi family has long been separated from him! Oda Nobunaga excitedly waved the fan in his hand at the important minister evaluation meeting, and shouted at the top of his voice: "As long as we respond to the call of the Gongfang Palace, raise troops to Beijing to crusade against that puppet general!" With this righteous name, the whole of is at your fingertips! ”

Of course, Yu Qiuping knew that things would not be as simple as Oda Nobunaga said. The premise of his success in Shangluo is to defeat the Matsunaga family and the Miyoshi family - but the current Miyoshi family is not the Miyoshi family that was weak in history because of the death of the four brothers and frequent infighting, but a powerful behemoth. And the premise for him to want to go to Luo is to get the name of supporting Li Yihui! The latter is now hiding in the domain of the Rokkaku family, who supported the shogun for three generations, and shows no sign of switching to the Oda family - even if Oda Nobunaga gained a great reputation for killing Imagawa Yoshimoto, how could Owari's dirt buns win the favor of Ashikaga Yoshiteru?

Well, even if Oda Nobunaga was lucky enough to be valued by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and chosen as the daimyo who supported him in Kamirako - it is still a question whether he can settle this sword general. Ashikaga Yoshiaki has a tough personality, and he is much more courageous and wise than his younger brother Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was originally supported by Oda Nobunaga, and he also has a lot of prestige among the daimyos.

Well, even if he does have the ability to do all of the above - but at least there has to be a way for him to get to Luo, isn't it! Now that he has not beaten down the only way to go to Luo, how can he go to Luo?

However, Oda Nobunaga obviously can't wait any longer.

"Gather your troops! Before the autumn harvest, let's go straight to Inabayama Castle again and knock Inabayama Castle down! Oda Nobunaga waved his folding fan in high spirits, and shouted with some anger: "Yu has been here since he inherited the family governor fourteen years ago, and he has been in this tail!" After such a waste of time, when and where can you dominate the world? ”

As a traverser, Yu Qiuping naturally understands the trajectory of Oda Nobunaga's development. He succeeded to the position of Oda family governor in 1551, but spent a total of 17 years in Ono to unify Ono. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that although Owari is a great power of Ishitaka, it will inevitably take a long time to swallow and digest the United States, which is also a great power of Ishitaka. On the other hand, it was because the Imagawa family from Tokaido had always threatened Oda Nobunaga, preventing him from showing his talents.

And after swallowing Mino, Oda Nobunaga, who completed the integration of Noo, sat on a territory of one million stones, and his strength far exceeded that of all opponents in the region and nearby. Backed by a large population, army, and territory, he was also able to achieve exponential growth. In the next 14 years, until the death of Oda Nobunaga, the Oda family had occupied the entire region, and also penetrated the Hokuriku region, the Chugoku region, and the Kanto region. Hideyoshi Hashiba and Katsuie Shibata both had an advantage against the Mori family and the Uesugi family, while the Takeda family was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga. Including the vassals and allies of the Oda family, by 1582 Oda Nobunaga had controlled nearly half of Japan's land and nearly two-thirds of Ishitaka.

In the same ten years, the speed of expansion of the Oda family has been one in the sky and one underground, like a snowball. It can be said that the capture of Mino was the bottleneck and turning point in the development of the entire Oda family. After that, the powerful Oda Nobunaga was able to conquer the new territory, relying on the advantages of population, army, and land.

Yu Qiuping couldn't help but wonder why it was so easy for China to open up and expand its borders, while it was difficult for European countries to change their borders for hundreds of years. Because of China's huge population, he was able to quickly digest the land he occupied, and the European countries were evenly matched with each other, and it could take decades or even hundreds of years to digest the land they occupied.

When Akihei came to his senses, Oda Nobunaga was still chattering about his plan to immediately send troops to take Inabayama Castle, take Mino once and for all, and then Kamiraku. Of course, Yu Qiuping knew that in the current situation where there was not much difference in strength between Owari and Mino, it was unrealistic to want to capture Mino by fighting a battle, but he didn't plan to remind him. Many of the important ministers sitting around him were obviously open in their hearts, but no one was willing to pour cold water on them at this time, touching the bad head of Oda Nobunaga.

If Imagawa Yoshimoto made a major mistake in strategic judgment, Yu Qiuping would stand up and point out even at the risk of being scolded or even demoted and removed from his post - because he loved Imagawa Yoshimoto from the bottom of his heart, and he also felt that he was a member of the Imagawa family, and he didn't want Imagawa Yoshimoto and the Imagawa family to suffer any losses because of their inaction. However, if it is replaced by Oda Nobunaga and the Oda family, Yu Qiuping does not plan to come out. He also wished that Oda Nobunaga had suffered a crushing defeat because he was too aggressive, and that he would have a chance to murder him.

So, he turned his gaze to the other important ministers nearby to see how everyone was doing.

Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneko, who were sitting behind him, seemed to be not paying attention to what Oda Nobunaga was saying at all, but chattering quietly and quietly. That guy Ikeda Hengxing is still very dishonest, and has been fiddling with Yuqiuhei's red leaf shawl - if you break what Kaede gave me, see if I don't kill you.

Sen Kecheng, who was sitting on Yu Qiuping's hand, Yu Qiuping seemed to hesitate when he looked at him. I guess I hope to get back to Mino soon, but I'm worried that Oda Nobunaga's approach is too radical.

And Takigawa Kazuki, who was sitting in the same place, was still as expressionless as ever - worthy of being a ninja, and he always had a straight face. And Sakuma Nobumori, who was sitting next to him, was also pale, but he didn't seem to have any intention of giving an opinion. Shibata Katsuie, who was sitting on the left, had a look of excitement on his face, and it seemed that the constant decisive battle was right for his appetite. Yu Qiuping's gaze gradually moved up, and he saw Lin Xiuzhen sitting in the second seat, who had a kind smile on his face, and was looking at it with expectant eyes-

Yu Qiuping followed Lin Xiuzhen's line of sight and found that the person he was looking at was Niwa Nagahide. Niwa Nagahide was sitting precariously, his hands on his knees clenched into fists, his lips pursed tightly, as if he was hesitating about something.

Finally, when Oda Nobunaga was already excited enough to issue an order to march, Niwa Nagahide suddenly spoke: "Lord Rong. ”

"Oh? Yyogoro? Oda Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Niwa Nagahide to suddenly speak, "What do you have to say?" ”

"This..."A fine bead of sweat oozed from Niwa Nagahide's forehead. He gritted his teeth, but still bowed his head and said, "Lord Rongyu, I think that we may not seek to complete the battle. Rather, it should be considered in the long run. ”

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga dragged out his tone and stared at Niwa Nagahide with a playful eye, "Yonegoro, what do you mean?" ”

"Lord!" Niwa Nagahide said in a low voice: "Before, we tried to directly fight the main force of the Saito family and take Inabayama Castle twice, but we encountered a lot of trouble. ”

"Huh? Yagoro, you seem to have something to say. Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, turned his back, and turned his back to Niwa Nagahide.

"The Lord atons for his sins! In the next abrupt! Niwa Nagahide hurriedly kowtowed when he heard this, but he still said stubbornly: "Although the lord is wise and martial, Mino is also an outstanding person, and I am afraid it cannot be solved in a war." In the next fight, I suggested that we should slowly attack Mino's territory, constantly weaken the Saito family and strengthen the own family, and finally take Mino is a matter of course..."

"Take your time? Take it easy! Oda Nobunaga angrily kicked the futon, watched the futon fly out more than ten meters, and scolded in a low voice: "Yu has wasted more than ten years here!" How many more than ten years of life are wasted! What do you mean! Is it going to take 30 years to fight just one Meinong? ”

"Don't dare!" Niwa Nagahide hurriedly kowtowed, "Please atone for your sins." ”

"Lord's grace!" At this moment, Mori Kecheng actually stepped forward and suggested: "I think that what His Royal Highness Niwa said is not unreasonable, Mino is not available in a day, and slowly eating away at its soil is the right way." ”

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows, looked at Mori Kecheng, and his anger gradually subsided, "Doesn't Sanzaemon think about going back to Mino every day?" Why did you even come to speak for Yonegoro! ”

"Don't blame the lord." Mori Kecheng bowed and said, "Because in my majesty's opinion, what His Royal Highness Niwa said is good." ”

"Is that so?" Oda Nobunaga took a deep breath and scratched his head with some irritation. He may be short-tempered, but he is not a disobedient person – otherwise he would not have achieved what he had achieved in his previous life.

"Who else supports their opinions?" He glanced down the hall and asked aloud.

Just when Yu Qiuping hesitated to make a statement, he suddenly saw that the hand pulling his silk red leaves behind his back was released. Immediately afterwards, there were shouts from behind him, Toshiie Maeda and Tsuneko Ikeda, who were "seconding the proposal".

"These two guys, obviously aren't listening!" Yu Qiuping scolded angrily and funny, "It's quite good at coaxing!" ”

"Seconded below." With Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneko taking the lead, many people who thought that Oda Nobunaga's original decision was wrong spoke out in support of Niwa Nagahide and Mori Kosei. Yu Qiuping looked at the situation around him, and finally stood up and supported the opinions of the two.

Oda Nobunaga waited until there was no more movement in the hall before nodding in satisfaction. Then, a wicked smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, you who seconded the proposal and wanted to slowly figure it out, Yu will order you to start advancing to Higashi Mino during the autumn harvest, and go and encroach on the land of the Saito family! Let's go to the Slow Picture! ”
