Chapter 217: Nanyuan

"Your Highness wants to hear new opinions," Yu Qiuping asked tentatively, "Then I wonder if you can tell me a story?" ”

"Haha," Oda Nobunaga laughed, "Let's talk about it, if you can't say it, you will wrap up the baggage for Yu and leave." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Qiuping also smiled slightly, "The story happened in the Ming Kingdom nearly two thousand years ago. ”

"The protagonist of the story is a retainer of a famous family," Yu Qiuping did not know whether this explanation was appropriate, but he continued to say it, "One day, he met a carriage near the Taihang Mountain, and the owner of the carriage was letting his coachman drive all the way north. ”

Yu Qiuping's sudden story made everyone a little confused, but they all listened to it with interest.

"The owner of the carriage told the retainer that he was going to the daimyo to the south." Yu Qiuping told the story of the opposite direction, "But the retainer was very puzzled and asked the master: You want to go to the south, why do you drive the carriage to the north?" ”

The owner said nonchalantly, "My horse is fine." As soon as Yu Qiuping said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"That retainer said no, no matter how good your horse is, but this is not the way to the south." Yu Qiuping learned from Ji Liang's tone at that time, and imitated a look of hating iron but not steel, making everyone laugh.

The master said nonchalantly, "I have a lot of entanglements." Yu Qiuping shrugged his shoulders and really made a look of indifference, and the young people who didn't have much of a stand in Maeda Toshiya and Sawaki Ryoyuki were all amused.

"That retainer said no, I know you have a lot of entanglements, but this is not the way to the south." Yu Qiuping quickly switched to another completely different tone and expression, which made Oda Nobunaga and Lin Xiuzhen laugh.

"The master still said nonchalantly: My coachman is very skilled!" Yu Qiuping once again imitated the appearance of no one in his eyes, and with the stupidity of the driver in the story, he directly made the whole hall laugh.

"The horse is fast, the money is rich, the coachman is good, I know everything," Yu Qiuping spread his hands towards everyone, and smiled helplessly: "But this is the way to the north." The faster you go, the farther away from your purpose! ”

"What do you want to say?" Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, who had always been pale, interrupted, a little embarrassed in the laughter, "Tell this story that is far from the same, haven't we heard it?" ”

"The reason for telling this story is to confirm one thing with you," Yu Qiuping explained, "that is, what is the purpose of His Royal Highness the Governor?" Otherwise, I just know how to work hard and go in the opposite direction. ”

"What do you think?" With a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, Oda Nobunaga asked in a loud voice, "What is my goal as the Warring States Storm in your mouth?" ”

"I dare to speculate about the purpose of His Royal Highness the Governor," Yu Qiuping bowed slightly to hide the confident smile on the corner of his mouth - what is your purpose, it is clearly written in history.

"His Royal Highness the Governor is by no means a thing in the pond, he will never be satisfied with being the lord of a country, nor will he stop at expanding his power to become a regional hegemon," Yu Qiuhei looked at Oda Nobunaga's sharp eyes like a falcon, and could feel the fire of ambition burning in them, "Your Highness's goal is to invade Kyoto, win the throne, and use force to sweep away the entire Warring States Troubled Times and pacify the world." ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the people present were surprised. Their vision, identity and experience make it impossible for them to think about such a long-term problem. Their understanding of the Oda family is still limited to the superficial concept of a small daimyo in Owari, who has been at war with their neighbors for decades in order to expand their territory. To be able to lay down Mikawa or Mino is a great thing for them. What Yu Qiupei just said to calm the world seemed so far away to them, and it was hardly something that a small daimyo of Owari should think about. Oda Nobunaga also never revealed these thoughts to them.

After a while, everyone began to talk, and many sarcastic words rang out everywhere. Many people also set their eyes on Oda Nobunaga, waiting for their lord to reprimand this newcomer who did not know the height of the sky.

Unexpectedly, Oda Nobunaga suddenly laughed a few times, and then threw his folding fan at Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping was caught off guard, almost instinctively, and staggered to catch the flying folding fan.

"Well said!" Oda Nobunaga roared excitedly, looking at Yu Qiuping's eyes with more favor and expectation for his confidant, "Momiji won my heart!" It's no wonder that at such a young age, he was able to get such a high position in the Imagawa family in two years! Imagawa Osabe is really discerning! ”

As soon as Oda Nobunaga said this, the hall was in an uproar, not expecting that their lord's ambition was so great. Even the mother-robes were so surprised that they forgot to keep quiet, and the venue fell silent until Oda Nobunaga slapped the table in anger.

"Momiji, keep talking!" Oda Nobunaga pointed his finger at Yu Qiuhei and said.

"Yes," Yu Qiuping said unhurriedly, "Since His Royal Highness the Governor of the Family's goal is to invade Kyoto and suppress, then everything we do should serve this purpose." Therefore, I think that the Oda family should go to Mino and then use Mino as a base and go west to Kamiraku. Raiders Ise and Mikawa are just polar opposites. ”

"Cut," Sakuma Nobumori snorted coldly disdainfully, and he didn't want to see Yu Qiuping in the limelight, and he answered, "Your Excellency thinks that Kamiroku will be finished when he walks to Kyoto?" Hexagonal home, three good homes, which is a fuel-efficient lamp? First of all, we need to expand our strength! Laying down Mikawa and Kitaise can greatly strengthen the family, how can it be the opposite of each other? If you don't eat two pieces of fatty meat, you have to gnaw on the hard bones of Meinong? ”

"His Highness Sakuma is right," Yu Qiuping explained with a smile, "I don't deny that Kitaise and Mikawa are much better than Mino, and I don't deny that they can strengthen their own family by defeating them." ”

"Then what are you talking nonsense?" Sakuma Nobumori snorted coldly.

"But if you beat them, will it really help the Oda family?" Yu Qiuping asked resignedly, slowly explaining in the puzzled eyes of others: "When you get a territory, you have to find a way to guard them, don't you?" Once you've laid down Mikawa, you're going to be directly bordering the Imagawa family and the Takeda family. The Imagawa family and the Oda family are not in the same boat, and Ōzen Daifu is an ambitious man who may attack at any time. Sanhe is likely to become a hot potato, not only can it not provide more troops for the family, but it will need to spend more troops and money to defend. The same is true in Ise, where the power of Northern Ise is intertwined and may encounter many troubles to rule, and it will also take a lot of energy to face the Kitabatake family in Southern Ise and the Issuna clan of Nagashima Castle. ”

"Now, on the other hand," Akihei said, gesturing to the ground, "the weak Matsudaira family separates us from the Imagawa family and the Takeda family, but it doesn't pose much of a threat to our southeastern border. The Northern Ise Alliance is full of internal contradictions, and it is unlikely that it will attack us. Isn't it much better to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the Mino Raiders than to fight on multiple fronts at that time? So why are we attacking Mikawa and Ise? In addition, I don't know how long it will take to attack Mikawa and Ise, and the current situation is changing rapidly, so I may miss some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. ”

After Oda Nobunaga and the others digested it for a while, Yu Qiuping leaned down and said, "So, the opinion under the following is: to stop at the northern Ise, the Matsudaira family of the alliance Mikawa will act as a barrier to the east, and go all out to attack Mino!" ”

This is the strategy of the Oda family in history.

The audience was silent for a while, savoring Yu Qiuping's speech. The amount of wisdom and information contained in it needs to be digested slowly. This may be another advantage of the time-travelers - they have seen the entire course of history from the perspective of God, so they have far more control over the big picture and the future than ordinary people of the same period.

Oda Nobunaga kept smiling as he listened to Yu Akihei explain his thoughts, and looked at the young man in the momiji shawl with appreciative eyes.

"His Royal Highness Yuqiu's golden and jade good words are seconded below." Niwa Nagahide, who was the first to wake up, bowed to Oda Nobunaga very excitedly, "If you use this strategy, the Oda family will be profitable!" ”

"Seconded below." Takigawa Kazuyi also leaned down.

"Seconded below!" More and more people understood Yu Qiuping's words and leaned down. And many of those who advocated attacking Mikawa looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Seconded below." Shibata Katsuie thought for a moment, then leaned down as well. Sakuma Nobumori and others saw that Shibata Katsuya also agreed with this view, and they also leaned over to express their support.

"Hmph," Oda Nobunaga sneered as he looked at the retainers who fell to the ground, "Now you know that you seconded it?" I've been in the Oda family for so many years, and no one who has just arrived can see it clearly! This ridicule made the scene very embarrassing for a while, and Yu Qiuping's own face was a little unbearable.

"The lord, don't put His Royal Highness Yuqiu on the fire to roast," Lin Xiuzhen, who had been silent, smiled and said: "There is a way that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and what His Highness Yuqiu said can be said to be insightful, and you are all doing your best for the Oda family, how can there be a difference between superior and inferior?" With that, he looked at Oda Nobunaga again, "So, my lord, what do you think?" ”

"Since it's all right," Oda Nobunaga stood up, patted the dust on his hem, turned around and prepared to leave the conference room, while speaking in a nonchalant tone:

"Then let's all go back and prepare, as soon as the autumn harvest is over, we will attack Sanhe."

Many retainers who thought they were going to issue the Mino raid order had already shouted a few words of "obey" sporadically before they realized that Oda Nobunaga was going to attack Mikawa. Everyone present, including Yu Qiuping, was all confused. Didn't you just say it well?

"Before the alliance," Oda Nobunaga had already walked to the door at this time, turned his head to the bewildered retainers and said, "I want to see if my childhood friend Takechiyo has the ability to ally with me!" ”

Β·

Waiting for Oda Nobunaga's words, Yu Qiuping finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was still worried that history would be biased. As soon as the pressure was gone, he wanted to find something to do, so he casually opened the folding fan that Oda Nobunaga threw at him.

But I was stunned all of a sudden.

Because there are four big characters written on the folding fan.

The world is full of martial arts.
