A few days after the New Year's assessment, the horses spent their time at home and with their families, except for a few who were on duty. Burning Sky was lucky not to be required to be on duty, so he cultivated at home, and at the same time taught Mingshan and Minghai some military strategies and naginata, and their lives were quite comfortable.

When Burning Sky was teaching the two of them, he also began to think about preparing weapons for the two people after the Yuan suit. After all, the current Mingshan has grown to about 1.55 meters, and Minghai is slightly shorter than Mingshan, about 1.5 meters. And such a guy could have been regarded as an adult at that time.

The two Kawajiri brothers, who were resting at home, were also called out, and the three young Oda samurai began to discuss the matter of the two people of Ameiyama and Akekai at the drinking hall (meaning the place for drinking, that is, the tavern) at the bottom of Gifu Castle.

Burning Sky was limited to his own identity, as well as his own unusually bad liquor in his previous life, and just asked the store for a bowl of well water. When the shopkeeper saw that it was a monk and samurai of the Oda family, he smiled and went to the courtyard to get a bucket of well water and poured a bowl for the Yakiniku. Kawajiri then asked for a few more pickled dried fish and side dishes, and then the three of them sat down in a slightly crowded tavern and talked about what they were going to discuss.

After some discussion, the three of them set the date of Mingshan and Minghai's yuan costumes in December of this year, of which Minghai's equipment was provided by the Kawajiri family, and Mingshan's equipment was provided by Burning Kong. After the three of them had finished their discussions, they talked about some recent anecdotes, and then they went back to their homes.

The next day, Ozora was summoned by Oda Nobunaga, who hurriedly put on his monk's robe, and ran to the castle tower where Oda Nobunaga was located, with a knife and ribs stuck in his waist.

After handing over the weapons he was carrying in front of the door to Hidetaka Kawajiri, who happened to be on duty in front of the door, he walked quickly towards the courtyard where Oda Nobunaga was.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Oda Nobunaga's distinctive voice from a long distance. After listening carefully to Oda Nobunaga's voice, Burning Hollow breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Oda Nobunaga is in a good mood today.

From time to time, in a small courtyard full of winter plums, Sakaku saw Sosuke Oda talking to a fourteen or five-year-old boy.

Before he could see the young man's face clearly, Oda Nobunaga shouted, "Mingguo Shamen, come here!" After hearing this, Burning Sky hurriedly responded, walked quickly to Oda Nobunaga, bowed his head, and said loudly: "See the lord." ”

Oda Nobunaga, who was holding a folding fan in his hand, nodded, and then said to the young man: "Wonder Maru, this is the Ming Kingdom Rinzai Sect Shamen of the Izushi family, the Ming Samen of Mt. Hiei was burned in the air, he was praised by Kawajiri Hidetaka as the 'young eagle of the main family', and you happen to be there today, so I will come to study you." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky felt a tense heart, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be Oda Nobunaga's eldest son, Oda Kankuro Nobutada. Without waiting for Oda Nobutada to look at him, Burning Sky stepped forward and bowed to Oda Nobutada, and said, "See the young master." Then Burning Sky glanced up at Oda Nobutada, and found that Oda Nobutada and Oda Nobunaga were six or seven points similar, but compared to the courage and calmness cultivated by Oda Nobunaga's long-term superiors, Oda Nobutada still looked very immature.

After Oda Nobunaga heard the words of the burning air, he suddenly hit the head that the burning sky had just raised with the folding fan in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "It's really rude, listen to me." After hearing this, Burning Sky and Oda Nobutada, who were stunned for a moment, immediately bowed their heads and said, "Obey!" ”

Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga took a step, patting his palms with a folding fan as he walked under the walls of the small courtyard. Oda Nobutada and Burning Sky, who were not far away, just wanted to keep up with Oda Nobunaga, when they heard Oda Nobunaga say loudly: "My family has an army of 3,000, and the enemy has an army of 5,000 in the fortified city, how can you break it?" ”

When Oda Nobutada and Burning Sky heard this, they lowered their heads and immediately fell into deep thought. Oda Nobunaga sat on the stone steps of the morning sun in the courtyard with a folding fan in his hand, and looked at the two of them who were lost in thought, with a playful smile on his face.

Standing behind Oda Nobutada, Burning Sky looked up at Oda Nobutada in front of him. At this time, Oda Nobutada had already spoken: "Father, if the strength of the family's army is only 3,000, and Shibata-sama, Kinoshita-sama, and Niwa-sama are in the army, then Kinoshita-sama will spread rumors in the city, divide the generals in the city, and reduce the morale of the city; Niwa-sama is responsible for the food, grass and ordnance in the army to ensure the morale of the army; So that Lord Shibata led his troops to attack the enemy city. ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga got up and said with a smile: "Yes, but you have only reached the point of knowing how to make good use of people, if you are the general of the family, what should you do?" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobutada thought for a moment and continued: "If there is no general of the main family, a team of 1,000 people will be formed, three teams will besiege the city with two teams, and the other team will pretend to be reinforcements and camp more outside the city to intimidate the enemy army and force the enemy army to negotiate. ”

Oda Nobunaga said lightly after hearing this: "Although this plan is wonderful, but the enemy uses the fortified city as an obstacle, why is he afraid of your army attacking the city?" ”

Oda Nobutada slowed down and said: "Or use 2,000 as an ambush and 1,000 as bait to lure the enemy into battle, pretend to be invincible, make the enemy fall into a trap, attack it with iron artillery, and then besiege the enemy, cut off the enemy's retreat, and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop." Then depending on the number of enemy troops in the city, a siege plan is formulated. ”

At this time, Oda Nobunaga had already walked up to the burning air, knocked on the burning sky with a folding fan, and asked in a loud voice, "Mingshamen (no mistake), what do you have to say?" ”

After hearing this, he lowered his head and said: "The young master's plan is a brilliant plan, and after thinking about it, there is no strategy more ingenious than the young master's, but why should I attack this fortified city?" If our army is ultimately to support our own city in the distance, and the enemy is afraid of me and I dare not fight, we will successfully cross this city and successfully support our own city, won't we also defeat the enemy army? ”

After listening carefully to the words of the burning sky, Oda Nobunaga walked up to Oda Nobutada, and said to Oda Nobutada with a smile, "Wonder Maru, have you learned anything?" ”

After hearing this, Oda Nobutada suddenly realized, and first said to Oda Nobunaga: "I probably understand what my father meant. Then he strode to the burning sky and said respectfully to the burning sky: "Thank you, Lord Hieiyama, for your advice today, and I am very grateful." ”

Seeing this, Burning Sky immediately bowed his head and said: "The young master's words are serious, compared with the young master, his intelligence is like the stars peeping at the moon, and he doesn't dare to use the word advice." ”

At this time, Oda Nobunaga came over and said kindly to Oda Nobutada, "Wonder Maru, you go back to practice martial arts first, and I will go to see you tonight." With that, he waved his hand at the burning sky, and left the small courtyard where the cold plum bloomed with the burning sky.
