As far as the clan knows, the Echichu Shinho clan has been in Honganji, Takeda, Uesugi three forces repeatedly, and then did not decide which side to follow, and now Kaga Honganji has been completely destroyed by Asui, and Takeda is no longer possible to protect the two, so Uesugi has become their only choice now, once Oda goes out of the army, then it will inevitably fall to Uesugi, although Uesugi does not seem to be very welcome to his family, but Uesugi's character, I'm afraid it will still accept, After all, Uesugi is not ready to face the Oda clan directly, and the clan also thought of a point, two years ago, the governor of the Jimbo family, Jimbo Nagaju, was exiled by his father's original head of the Jimbo family because he took refuge in Takeda, and now this person is in Azuchi Castle, hoping that the Oda family can send troops to help him take over the position of the lord of the family, if the father-in-law can help, then this is the civil war of the Jimbo family, if Uesugi Kenshin wants to intervene, but there is an oath to defend the righteousness of the world. As long as he can support Shenbao to live in the upper position, then the father-in-law is equivalent to controlling most of Yuezhong, and Shenbao Changzhu is really a garbage person, and after the big event has been decided, even if he is dissatisfied, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

As for the Shiina family,,That's not a problem.,Back then, it was subordinate to the Uesugi family.,But in order to fight with the god of the long job.,So I asked Takeda to send troops.,Although in the end the Shiina family won.,But under the anger of Uesugi Kenshin.,Even the city was captured by the Uesugi army.,This battle made the Shiina family retainers dead and wounded.,Since then, the Shiina family has been in a slump.,At this moment, if the father-in-law leads the army to attack Yuezhong,Then I'm afraid it won't go to Uesugi.,Only return to your father-in-law.。

Noto's Hatakeyama clan, the clan thinks as long as it doesn't push it to be urgent. Then the possibility of taking refuge with my father-in-law is far greater than the possibility of refuting with Uesugi. After all, although the Uesugi family is strong. But if it is compared to the Oda family, it is a bit unsightly, as long as its nerves are normal, then the clan believes that it will definitely make the right choice.

Seeing that the clan didn't speak for a long time, Shibata Katsuya became more and more anxious, because in his opinion, the clan's wisdom was absolutely unparalleled in the world, and if even he found it difficult to do, then it was enough to show how difficult this matter was. However, he saw that the clan had been thinking about it, for fear of disturbing his train of thought, so he could only hold it all the time, even if his face was red, he didn't open his mouth to ask.

At this time, the clan finally smoothed out his train of thought, only to see him smile slightly, and seeing the clan smiling, Shibata Katsuya's psychology finally had some confidence.

Sure enough, as he thought, he only heard the clan sect speak: "Father-in-law wants to capture Echichu and Noto. It seems that the Yi clan is not suffering, as long as it is mastered. Then take these two countries into the bag and take things. ”

"Okay, don't sell it, how to behave, tell the old man quickly." Shibata Katsuya was really a little anxious, so he didn't care about any etiquette and said directly.

"The original head of the Jimbo family, Jimbo Nagaju, is currently in Azuchi Castle, and I hope to ask the lord to send troops to take the position of lord of the family for him? Does my father-in-law know about this? ”

It's not strange to say that others don't know, but Shibata Katsuya can't be unaware, and for this matter, Jimbo Nagaju also visited Shibata Katsuya, hoping that he can mention his kind words in front of Nobunaga, after all, he has been chasing him from Gifu Castle, and Nobunaga has no intention of seeing him in the past two years, so he has to visit Oda Nobunaga's most valued retainers in the last resort, hoping that they can talk to the chief and help him take the position of lord of the family.

"The old man knew about this, and not long ago, Shen Bao Changzhu also came to visit the old man, hoping that the old man would speak for him, but he didn't see that he was a person who could make things happen, so the old man directly refused? Why, is this person still useful to the old man in capturing Vietnam? ”

"Father-in-law, this person is not only useful to you, but of great use, father-in-law, think about it, once you support him to ascend to the throne, then according to his ability, it is not very easy for father-in-law to seize the land of the god of Yuezhong, and then he only needs to leave him some land to keep his family name. And he went to snatch the position of the head of the family, which is an internal matter of the Jimbo family, and it is not easy for Uesugi to send troops to interfere. ”

"Hahahaha, that's right, if it's really as you said, it's not difficult to take the land of the gods." After listening to the clan's words, Shibata Katsuya couldn't help but feel good, and he didn't laugh out loud.

After he stopped laughing, he only heard the clan ask: "As for the remaining two....clan has the courage to ask my father-in-law, is it the Oda family or the Uesugi family now?" ”

"Of course it's Ben Jiaqiang, this is known to the world, what is there to ask." Shibata Katsuya didn't know why the clan asked this, so he said with some displeasure.

"That's right, the Oda family is strong, and the Uesugi family is weak, if you are the head of the Shiina and Hatakeyama clans, and the power is added between Oda and Uesugi, who will you turn to?"

"Of course it is..."As soon as the words came out, Shibata Katsuya immediately understood the meaning of the clan, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, as long as this matter reaches the ears of those two families, then they will definitely send someone to negotiate with the family immediately, and once an agreement is reached, why should they go to Uesugi." Haha, okay, the old man doesn't need you to send troops to help, the old man can win the two countries in an instant. After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Sakuma Nobumori proudly.

"Father-in-law, the clan thinks that they should send troops first, and then negotiate with Shiina and Hatakeyama, if the father-in-law agrees to their submission, then there will be no reason to confiscate their territory, and at that time, even if the father-in-law is in charge of the land of the god to protect the family, it is only to control more than 300,000 stones, and more than sixty percent of the land is in the hands of others, so it is difficult to develop, and because there are fewer places under the direct jurisdiction, how can there be land to reward meritorious officials, Therefore, the clan thought that it was possible to fight a battle or two with it first, so that when the negotiations came, they could take the land under their rule on the charge of resisting the army's refusal to surrender, and both Shiina and Hatakeyama were weak and incompetent, as long as the father-in-law was not too much in the end, then he would definitely take refuge in his father-in-law instead of the Uesugi family. Then, as long as the father-in-law is in Yuezhong, Nengden has a firm foothold, and it will not be easy to clean them up again. ”

The more Shibata Katsuya listened, the more justified he felt, and once again proved how correct his decision to accept Sakura as a daughter was, what originally seemed very difficult to him, but after such an analysis by the clan, it became extremely simple, if it wasn't for his relationship back then, I'm afraid I would have had a headache for a long time.

"Father-in-law, having said that, these are just speculations of the clan after all, so we still have to be wary of the Uesugi family, but I am afraid that the father-in-law's army is limited, so the clan is willing to transfer 3,000 troops to be deployed in Shinano Anyun County, which borders Vietaka, once Uesugi is out, the strength of the family is good to block, and please father-in-law does not have to shirk it."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to help me in the end, the old man is really old." Shibata Katsuya didn't sigh, but this time he didn't push back.

"Why did my father-in-law say that? Dare to ask my father-in-law, who stood up to defend the clan when it was about to be banished by the lord, and accepted Sakura as a daughter to help the clan tide over the difficulties?

Dare to ask my father-in-law again, who was the one who allowed the clan to choose any elite general in the Beesuka Party when the army under the command of the clan was insufficient?

Before I dare to ask my father-in-law, who was it back then who pulled down his face for the sake of the clan and constantly won over the important ministers in the family, so that the Takayama faction had such a prestige in the Oda family?

Father-in-law, these things may be trivial things to you, but in the eyes of the clan, it is indeed a great kindness, and the clan does not dare to forget it for a moment, and now seeing that the father-in-law is embarrassed, how can the clan stand by and watch, if this is the case, then the clan is not worthy of being a person, let alone a dignified samurai, so the clan asks the father-in-law, so there is no need to say it again in the future, which will make the clan very embarrassed. ”

"Today, even if you and I turn our faces, the old man has to say that when he helped you back then, the old man saw that you were outstanding, and secondly, out of selfishness, so you are not so grateful." Now that the words have been said, Shibata Katsuya has become unscrupulous, the motive for helping the clan has always been a heart problem of the Shibata Katsu family, he is always afraid that after letting the clan know the truth, the other party will be estranged from him, but today he took this opportunity to finally say the words that he had hidden in his heart for more than ten years, no matter what the result was, but at least he could have a clear conscience.

"My father-in-law's words are not agreed with by the clan, no matter what my father-in-law thought in his heart back then, but the result is really helping the clan, this is grace, how can the clan be a person who does not repay kindness?"

"Haha, the old man really didn't misunderstand you." Although Shibata Katsuya was smiling, his eyes were a little ruddy, he really didn't expect that it was just a casual thing for himself back then, but he was so remembered by the clan that he could rest assured that he would entrust his family to him in the future.

Although Sakuma Nobumori didn't speak, after he heard the words of the clan, he was not much different from Shibata Katsuya's thoughts, although he didn't give the clan much favor, and when he accepted Aiyuan as a righteous daughter, he also had the intention of approaching the clan with this. Although after this, the clan sect's attitude towards himself is no different from that of the Shibata Katsu family and Lin Tongsheng, after all, there was still a little lack of confidence in his heart back then, but today he saw that the clan clan brought the Lin Tong politician who was excluded from the Oda family to his side at the evaluation meeting, and now he has not forgotten to say the favor of the Shibata Katsu family, such a person will entrust the Sakuma family to him in the future, and he can also see it under the nine springs.
