Chapter 305: Oda Nobutada's Visit
Sabei, who exited the castle hall, apologized again and again to Hasegawa Shuichi who came out with him, and Hasegawa Shuichi didn't say anything when he saw this, but just told Sabei how sad it was to work, and let Sabei cultivate well today and go to work hard tomorrow.
Sabei naturally heard Hasegawa Shuichi's words, and this sentence was not a mockery of himself, but a warning that Sabei should not happen again when he invited Yasumasa Kamihara to meet Oda Nobunaga.
Sabei actually knew for a long time that it would not be a good thing for him to bring Yasumasa Kamihara to meet Oda Nobunaga. Although Oda Nobunaga did not say it explicitly, he was meeting with Kanhara Yasumatsu, and responded to Kamihara Yasuma's somewhat rude behavior with a snub.
Now Sabei is a little puzzled, how did Yasumasa Kamihara, who is far away in Yuanjiang, know the news of his temporary position in the commissioner's office?
Thinking of this, Sabei couldn't help muttering in his heart that he had only been in Gifu for a few days, how could he know that the military generals of the Tokugawa family knew?
At this point, Sabei didn't think about it, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and returned home with his subordinates.
In the days that followed, Sabei and Hasegawa Shuichi and other members of the Kifu and the Immediate Ministers made a rough calculation of the Oda family's troops, armaments, food, and grass in the eastern part of the house, and handed over the final materials to Oda Nobunaga before they could take a breath of relief.
Just when Sabei thought that Oda Nobunaga was in no hurry to recover the castles of Higashimino Prefecture, the words that came out of the mouth of Hasegawa Shu destroyed Sabei's speculation. The news that Oda Nobunaga was preparing to launch a reconquest campaign against Higashimino in early June sent countless ripples through Gifu Castle like a stone falling into a lake.
After hearing the news, Sabei who was pursuing the fish he was fishing to support his life only nodded to Kan Seifu, who was sitting opposite, after all, he was now gilding his reputation, and what he said would be useful to Sakaki Heiji and the others who were standing outside the house.
After serving the fish for a day, Sabei took five of his attendants behind him and walked towards Yashiki in Gifu Castle. After seeing the samurai hurrying on the road, Sabei only glanced at it and continued to walk towards his house.
However, Sabei, who had worked all day, was in front of his house, and what he was waiting for was not the rich greeting from Akijiro Fushiwa.
After seeing Oda Nobutada and Shibata Katsumasa in front of the house, Sabei smiled helplessly at the few people, and then stepped forward and bowed his head and greeted: "The young master is waiting here, what is the matter?" β
Seeing this, Oda Nobutada also smiled and said, "What, Sabei, don't invite me into the house to sit?" β
Hearing this, Sabei apologized, and then led Oda Nobutada and the others into his home. After seeing her husband leading Oda Nobutada and others into the house, Ming Weixiu in the house also immediately stepped forward to salute Oda Nobutada, supported by the maid.
However, Oda Nobutuda preemptively said to Ming Weixiu who came over: "Ah Xiu doesn't have to be polite, rest assured to raise the baby, I am only looking for Sabei to ask for strategies, and I will not take Sabei to Higashi Mino!" β
As soon as Oda Nobutada's words came out, Sabei was directly stunned in place, and then immediately reacted, and it seemed that one of the real "culprits" who made himself "suspected" surfaced. It turned out that Maeda Toshiya didn't have that much power to speak in front of Oda Nobunaga, so he let himself be placed under house arrest in disguise one by one.
(Note, this is Sabei's point of view, and it does not conflict with the previous discussion between Oda and his son, so please pay attention!) οΌ
Immediately, Sabei reacted again, and it was Oda Nobutada who saw that he was depressed, so he confided this news to himself.
After pretending to realize his gaffe, Oda Nobutada immediately gestured towards Ming Weixiu. Seeing this, Ming Weixiu also pretended that nothing had happened, and after nodding slightly to everyone, he and the maid returned to the room.
Sabei immediately invited Oda Nobutada and his party into his main room, and Fushiwa Akijiro and Yamashita Shinsuke, as Sabei's retainers, naturally appeared behind Sabei.
After a brief greeting, Oda Nobutada went straight to the point and asked Sabei, "Sabei, which one do you think Takeda Katsuyori will choose between Higashimino and Enoe?" β
After hearing this, Sabei replied without thinking: "Young master, naturally it is Yuanjiang!" β
Oda Nobutada didn't react after hearing this, stared at Sabei and continued to ask: "If the family sends troops to Higashimino, will Takeda Katsuyori turn to fight with the family, or will he use Higashimino as bait to delay the footsteps of the family to support the Tokugawa family?" β
"Young master, you shouldn't have to make a special trip to your next home for such a question, right?"
Sabei waved his hand to the two behind him, and when Fushiwa Akijiro and Yamashita Shinsuke saw this, they got up and walked to the door, and after ordering the attendants in front of the door, they closed the door.
Seeing this, Oda Nobutada also sighed and said: "Recently, the family has always mentioned in my father's ear that he has joined forces with Tokugawa to conquer Takeda's westward advance, and my father has released the news that he is preparing to recover Higashimino. β
After speaking, Oda Nobutada looked at the thoughtful Sabei and continued to speak: "Sabei, I think my father's original intention was not to recover the Higashimino Castles, but to force Takeda Katsuyori to make a choice by recovering the Higashimino Castles, and the result of the choice is obvious. β
After hearing this, Sabei came back to his senses, nodded at Oda Nobutada, and then said in a low voice: "Young master, now the north of the family is entangled with Kaga, and the daimyo of the western country in the west is bewitched by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and wants to be the enemy of the family and support Ashikaga Yoshiaki; Takeda Katsuyori seized that his family had just pacified Nagashima and was surrounded by strong enemies, and he was unwilling to face the Takeda family's troops before he wanted to send troops to Yuanjiang, so the lord should want Takeda Katsuyori to speed up the pace of westward expansion. β
Oda Nobutada listened to Sabei's words and fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Sabei stopped talking, and also fell silent. In an instant, the atmosphere in the main room was dull, and Yamashita Shinsuke swept the gloomy faces of Oda Nobutada, Sabei and others, and then got up quietly, and under the gaze of Fushiwa Akijiro, he quietly walked to the door, opened a gap and whispered to the attendants outside the door: "If the lord wants to drink tea, just make the tea that the lord often drinks on weekdays, there are seven people in the house!" β
