Chapter 65: Changing Goals
After Hatsune was gone, Nobunaga stood up and smiled slightly, thinking to himself, are you finally willing to move, Haluha, I thought you were planning to spend the New Year in Inuyama Castle.
The reason why Nobunaga left the clan in Inuyama Castle was to let him attack Higashiminon, in Nobunaga's mind, such a smart person as the clan should be able to understand his intentions, who knew that the clan had not moved in the slightest for more than half a year, so he was very angry about this, and it was precisely because of this that the clan would be put aside, he didn't send someone to Inuyama Castle to convey the order, just to see when the clan would understand his mind, if it was a little longer, he still didn't move, There is no need to send people to keep an eye on him, and at the same time, it is time to consider whether it should be reused.
And recently, in addition to the clan, the monkey's performance is also very good, and Nobunaga has another object to observe, but now that the clan has understood his mind and won the ape pecking castle, let's continue to observe.
Now that the bridgehead of Higashimino has been captured, then Nobunaga has to say something, just with the military strength of the clan, how can it be a big thing. Thinking of this, Nobunaga walked quickly out of the inconspicuous hut, this is the forbidden area drawn by Nobunaga, no one is allowed to approach, otherwise there will be no mercy, even Mrs. Nobunaga is included, Nobunaga walked into the cloister and shouted, "Someone! ”
Hori Hidemasa immediately ran over, saluted and said, "The subordinates are here." ”
"Prepare your horses and go to Ape Peck City!"
In the Ape Peck Castle, the clan arranged the cleaning of the battlefield, and after handing over the defense of the city to Yamauchi Kazutoyo, he escorted Tajiji and the Liang family back to Inuyama Castle. However, as soon as he came out of the city, he saw the ashigaru who had been sent by him to Qingzhou to repay his merits, and rode back on horseback.
"Report! Lord, the main hall has led a large army from Qingzhou City, and is now rushing towards Ape Peck City. ”
Nobunaga is coming? After hearing this, the clan was overjoyed, this is really good news, it seems that this time, Lao Tzu is right. He hurriedly said to this ashigaru: "Go back quickly, and prepare to meet the lord." ”
It took more than a day for Nobunaga to lead a few retainers, and the eight hundred banners appeared in the ape peck castle. According to the speed of the army in the world, this will definitely make other samurai feel ashamed.
In the Ape Peck Castle Castle Tower, including the clan, the retainers of the Oda family who came with him this time were waiting for Nobunaga to appear, and it was a long time before Nobunaga came out of the inner room, and behind him, in addition to the two close attendants of Hasegawa Shuichi and Hori Hidemasa, there was also a refreshed Tajimi Shuryo.
Nobunaga came to the main seat in the center of the front and sat down, and said, "Tajiji repairs the light!" ”
Tajiji Ryo hurriedly trotted two steps, came to Nobunaga, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "My subordinates are here." ”
"Although you have made mistakes this time, you will eventually be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you will not be blamed for the past, and you will be allowed to keep your family name and your existing knowledge and deeds, and if there is a rebellion in the future, you will not be forgiven. Step aside. "The reason why Nobunaga spared him so easily was actually to show it to the other wealthy families of Higashimino, and clearly told them that now that the Oda family has begun the Higashimino strategy, those who know each other should hurry up and return to Shun, so that they can still keep their knowledge and deeds, otherwise, the army will be everywhere, and there will be no armor left.
"Thank you lord, my subordinates swear not to rebel." Although Tajimu had already learned the news just now, he was still very excited when Shin announced it from Nobunaga's mouth.
After he finished saying that he retreated, Nobunaga did not directly reward the clan for being able to take the ape peck castle, in his opinion, this merit was far from enough, Nobunaga swept the retainers below with his eyes and said: "Senbei, monkey, send 800 banners to you, if you don't capture the entire territory of Higashimino within half a year, get out of the Oda family." ”
In the heart of the clan, he is not worried at all about taking down Higashimino in half a year, but it seems that he will not be able to accompany Sakura and Matsurumuru to Qingzhou Castle for the New Year.
Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro didn't think so, he was very excited at the moment, the lord finally began to pay attention to himself, as long as he got the attention of the lord, it would not be too far to get promoted.
"My lord, this Inuyama Castle is too close to Mino, and this city needs to be guarded." Although Nobunaga didn't say it directly, Niwa Nagahide knew that the task of the clan clan was over. He thought that this castle was the northern gateway to Owari, and he couldn't help but remind his lord. ,
After thinking about it, Nobunaga fixed his gaze on Ikeda Hengxing, only to hear him speak: "Ikeda Hengxing attacked in the last battle, but he did not add a reward, and now I appoint you as a general, and transfer the original Zhixing to Inuyama Castle, Zhixing 8,000 stones." ”
"It's... The subordinates thank the lord very much, and the subordinates will swear allegiance to the Oda family. Ikeda Hengxing was a little overwhelmed by this sudden reward, he originally only had 3,000 stones, and when he rescued Sumamata Castle last time, he just killed two generals of the enemy, but he was crowned with 5,000 stones, and now he has 8,000 stones, and he is already a major minister in the family, how can this not make him ecstatic.
However, he also knew that this would definitely be the envy of the retainers, especially the Takayama clan, that Inuyama Castle was built by him with hard work, but now it is cheaper for himself, and it seems that he still has to explain to the clan after the meeting. With his current status as a general, there is actually no need for this, but he knows that the ability of the Dao Clan exceeds that of other retainers in the family, and a person like this, as long as the lord has always trusted, it will not be long before he will be in a high position, so he must definitely befriend Lu.
Ikeda Hengxing knew that he was not very capable, and that his promotion so quickly was all due to the trust of his lord, and it was precisely because of this that he showed great humility in the Oda family, but this time the lord pushed himself to the cusp.
Sure enough, as he thought, not only the clan was dissatisfied with this, but even the other retainers also had opinions about it, but this was one of the most trusted people of the lord, so no one dared to open his mouth and touch the lord's brow.
The clan was angry in his heart, Lao Tzu had worked hard in the past few years, how many great achievements he had made, and he had won 1700 stone Zhixing from the east, and he Ikeda Hengxing just won a few enemy samurai, and he received such a reward, it seems that Nu does not work hard to be second, the key is to have a good mother.
After the meeting, Nobunaga hurried back to Kiyosu Castle, but he did not take the 800 banners with him, but left them with the clan. The clan did not stay in Ape Peck Castle for long, and he had to hand over to Ikeda Hengxing next, so he returned to Inuyama Castle on the same day.
Along the way, Ikeda Hengxing and Clan Zong walked side by side, but the two rarely spoke, and Clan Zong was envious, jealous and hateful at this time, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and Ikeda Hengxing had the heart to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, so it seemed very dull.
After a long time, Ikeda said, "Takayama-sama, I've been to your sparrow house a few times, and it feels really good. ”
Seeing that he had nothing to say, the clan couldn't snub him, and said with a smile: "Hehe, if the adults think it's good, then you can patronize it more in the future." ”
"That's a certainty, but the cost is too high, so I plan to wait for the handover to be completed, and then I will apply for a silver card, so that I can save a lot in the future."
Seeing that he spoke without a trace of arrogance, and he knew each other like this, the knots in his heart were solved. Anyway, this Inuyama City, Nobunaga will never be able to seal it to himself, so what does it have to do with himself, you can give it to whoever you like, Lao Tzu will earn the money of this silver card first.
