The news of the Mino upheaval spread quickly, and although this matter was just a trivial matter in the Warring States compared to Ashikaga Molong's unification of Kanto, Oda Nobunaga was keenly aware of the opportunity.

A month later, in the castle of Cheongju in Owari Province, a major event was happening that would affect the direction of the world. The plain and uninhibited Oda Nobunaga is dressed in formal clothes, and his demeanor is elegant to pour tea for the two people in front of him, and in front of him are also sitting two young people, the three of them are a little ridiculous in this troubled era of the Warring States, but the power in their hands is enough to make people tremble. Like the Saito family, Ryomasa Asai made his fortune with Shimokajo, who was no less powerful than Michizo Saito, and his eldest son, Hisamasa Asai, attended the talks as his representative. Another young man is the new land of 200,000 stone in North Shinano, the messenger of the Takeda family who is in the limelight, Takeda Nobuyo, as the third son of Takeda Shintora, he and his eldest brother Takeda Harunobu and second brother Takeda Nobuyo are very different, and his behavior is not so much a samurai, but rather a public family, Takeda Nobuyoru has a very high attainment in calligraphy and painting in history, and he is a master in the history of the Warring States Period, but such a person has to become a public pen after the second brother Takeda Nobuyoshi died in the battle of Kawanakajima, Assist the eldest brother Takeda Harunobu to govern Koshin.

"You all know about Saito Yoshiryu's rebellion." Oda Nobunaga said slowly, in fact, the Oda family and the Asai family all made their fortunes, and Takeda Harunobu even exiled his father, and Saito Yoshiryu was not a rebellion, let alone a heinous crime, because everyone did this, accusing him of slapping himself in the face. But Saito Yoshiryu was cheated by the Mino wealthy family, and only received the head of Saito Michizo, this sin is a big one, and killing his father is an extremely bad crime anywhere, so Oda Nobunaga said that Saito Yoshiryu conspired against him.

Hisashi Asai and Nobuyoshi Takeda both nodded and said together, "Saito Yoshiryu is indeed a heinous crime. ”

"But the Mino generals are brave and good at fighting, and with the strength of my Owari Ikuni, the victory is still five to five, so I hope to get the support of the Asai family and the Takeda family."

Asai Hisamasa was noncommittal, but Takeda Nobuyoshi spoke first: "Lord Dan Masatuda is the son-in-law of Saito Michizo, and it is natural to avenge him, but I heard that Saito Michizo also left a letter to the country?" "The implication is obviously to benefit, you make a whole concession to the country, then we will help you deal with Saito Yoshiryu, how can you reap the benefits? Especially the Takeda family is now surrounded on three sides, and the missile country is even more mountainous, only the country of Mino and the land of 540,000 stone can become the next strategic direction of the Takeda family, if Oda Nobunaga wants to eat alone, then the Takeda family will naturally not help him.

Oda Nobunaga smiled and touched his beard when he heard this, "That's right, my father-in-law left the country, so I naturally have the right to dispose of Mino Province, and when I destroy Saito Yoshiryu, I will give 60,000 koku to the Takeda family in Kamo County as a reward." ”

Asai Hisamasa glanced at Oda Nobunaga deeply, and then said, "The family wants 70,000 stone from the Duoyi County and the Bupo County. ”

But this time, Oda Nobunaga shook his head, "No, these two counties are forbidden by the family, and they must not be conceded to each other, in exchange, after taking the country of Mino, I will send 15,000 troops to assist the Asai family to take Minami Omi." "Even if the mountains of Higashimino are continuous, even if Kamo County is ceded to the Takeda family, there are still a large number of fortresses located in the mountains, providing a barrier for the eastern part of Mino Province, and the West Mino is a flat river, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles, relying only on the defense line of Togi-gun and Buba-gun, if these two counties are ceded, Oda Nobunaga will really be no different from the Imagawa clan.

"No, fifteen thousand people is too little, at least 20,000 troops must be dispatched." The Roxagonal family of Minami Omi is currently one of the heroes of, and can fight with the Miyoshi family who is in full swing, and the Asai family of North Omi has been living in the shadow of the other party, and has to repeatedly flatter and sue for peace, which makes the Asai family extremely aggrieved, but if it is reinforced by an army of 20,000, it can still fight head-on with the main force of the Roxagonal family.

"Yes." Oda Nobunaga immediately agreed, if he really took the country of Mino, then the Oda family would instantly become one of the million-stone daimyos, and although it would cost a lot of money to mobilize 20,000 troops to invade neighboring countries, it would be completely affordable. In fact, the Asai family was less than 400,000 stone high, and although it was located in and had a dense population and prosperous economy, there was no natural danger separating it from the strong enemy Rokkaku, so it had to maintain a heavy army on the border, so even if he participated in the siege of Saito Yoshiryu, he could not draw many troops at all. For Oda Nobunaga, the biggest role of the Asai family is to block the passage for Saito Yoshiryu to ask for help from the Rokkaku family, as for the Echizen Asakura family, although the strength is extremely strong, but whether it is to get a piece of the pie on Saito Yoshiryu's corpse or to reinforce Saito Yoshimyu, they have to cross the mountains of South Echizen and North America, in this case, it will be up to the sky if 10,000 people can be dispatched, but if Oda Nobunaga joins forces with Takeda Harunobu, this 10,000 people are really not enough.

Takeda Nobuyoru suddenly said: "Kamo County alone is not enough, in the future, the Oda family will take the country of Mino, and the only direction that the family can attack is only the missile country, but Koshin and the missile are barren land, and the grain is not self-sufficient at all, and the Oda family must provide 100,000 koku of grain for the family every year according to the market price of Owari, and give 70,000 koku of grain to the family every year for five years." ”

This request made Oda Nobunaga frown slightly, 100,000 stone grain and 100,000 stone high are completely different things, 100,000 stone stone can be handed over to himself 50,000 stone is already considered a heavy tax, to provide this 70,000 stone free food, Oda Nobunaga is afraid that he will have to use 200,000 stone of land to be able to afford it, as for the 100,000 stone of cheap grain, it will cost a lot of national strength of the Oda family to collect. "Every year, the Takeda family is given 30,000 stone of military rations for ten years, and in addition, the Oda family's market is open to the Takeda family, as long as you have enough funds, you can come and buy it, and the family will not stop it."

"Thirty thousand stones is too little, at least fifty thousand stones." Takeda Nobuyoru immediately said, "The price of Koshin's grain is much higher than that of Nooo, and grain has always been the family's biggest expense, so in this matter, the family must not make concessions." ”

"Even so, 50,000 stone is too much, so let's do it, if the land of the Takeda family is attacked in the future, the family is willing to send 10,000 troops to support." Oda Nobunaga suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately made Takeda Nobunyashi's eyelids jump: The land of Koshin has been attacked? Who was attacked? The most likely is of course the demon dragon in Kanto...... Oda Nobunaga also realized that the Ashikaga Molong swept the world at hand, and the situation of the Imagawa family ceding the two counties to the Ashikaga family was also obvious, and in the future, the Ashikaga Molong would turn to support the Imagawa family, so Oda Nobunaga must also seek new allies, and the Takeda family was undoubtedly a good target.
