[You can read the book well, but you should pay attention to the study and rest, our website is updated the fastest and best, free no pop-up ads, hot-blooded:,Baidu xieyixs on it] "My father-in-law said yes, it is necessary to be loyal as a retainer, but if you are only loyal, you are not a qualified retainer, the reason why you need retainers is to ask them to solve problems for the head of the family when they have something to do, this is the mission of the retainers, and the loyalty of the retainers under your command is there, But what can you do on a day-to-day basis? ”

Seeing that Sakuma Nobumori just looked at himself and didn't speak, he just listened to the clan sect continue: "The reason why the clan can have today's power is not by one person, but by the collective efforts of the retainers under his command, and the Takayama family has the current situation, whether the retainers are powerful or not, this is related to the prosperity and decline of the family."

Let's talk about the Takeda family, when Takeda Shingen was in power, how could the Takeda family have such a prestige? Isn't it because the retainers of the Takeda family are all capable generals that there was the situation back then? And with the aging and death of these retainers, in just a few years, the Takeda family has changed from an invincible force in the eastern country to a family that can be destroyed at any time, which has a lot to do with the ineffectiveness of the retainers. ”

When the clan said this, Sakuma Nobumori finally thought of words, and only heard him speak: "How can the retainers under the old man's command not have a powerful person, others don't say it first, just say Sheng Zheng, his bravery was appreciated by the lord back then, isn't this a powerful retainer." ”

The clan had long known that he would mention Sakuma Morimasa, after all, he was the only one who could really handle the Sakuma family. I only heard the clan said: "Lord Sheng Zheng's martial arts are also really admired, but I am not afraid that my father-in-law will be unhappy." Although Sheng Zheng is the most powerful retainer under your command, what if he is placed in my Gaoshan family? Can he still be so conspicuous with his abilities? There are those who are not inferior to him in their own bravery, and there are many who can outperform him in resourcefulness. Do you think the Sakuma family will be able to prosper with Morimasa alone?

And although Sheng Zheng is more than brave, but not resourceful, such as today's samurai's thinking has begun to change somewhat, samurai have become more and more concerned about the use of strategy, if you only care about your own bravery, how can you achieve great things. If others don't say it, they just say that Ando is still three people. If it is a single head, I am afraid that these three people are tied together. is not Sheng Zheng's opponent, but if it is a leading battle, then even three Sheng Zheng can't beat one of them, and Sheng Zheng is a leading general. It's not a light thing, no matter how brave it is, how many people can it win, and how can it change the overall situation?

The former general, Yihui, is unparalleled in the world in martial arts, and is also known as the Sword Saint General, but under the siege of the army of the good family, he did not end up in a different place in the end. And in the future, I am afraid that the Sakuma family business will be inherited by him, and if there is no capable and wise person around him, the Sakuma family will be destroyed in a war. ”

"Senbei. The old man can't fully agree with what you said, even if you don't talk about Sheng Zheng, the other retainers under the old man's command are also good warriors. And the capable minister can also govern the knowledge and action in an orderly manner, so that he can be the minister who does nothing in your mouth. ”

"How long have your father-in-law's retainers been following you?" Seeing that he was still maintaining, the clan couldn't help but prepare to take some fierce medicine, otherwise, with his father-in-law's character, I am afraid that he would not take his words to heart at all, which he would never want to see. Those retainers of the Sakuma family can be kept, but they must not be reused by their father-in-law. Although he is a little nosy, but for the sake of the longevity of the Sakuma family, for his own plans, he can only be this villain.

"The younger generation will not talk about it first, but only say that the important ministers in the family have been fighting with the old man for decades, so they can be said to be good at fighting and have rich experience."

"Hehe, father-in-law, these retainers have been fighting with you for decades, and how many of them have made a name for themselves? Isn't that enough to prove inaction? And others don't say it, only say that the retainers under the command of the clan clan, Maeda Toshiya, Watanabe Moritsuna, Wasuka Masakatsu, these old ministers who have followed for many years don't say it, and don't say anything about the retainers like Kanosuke who have already made a name for themselves, only say that Nakagawa Kiyohide, Hori Hidemasa and others were all unknown before following the clan, and within a few years, everyone in the world knows about it, isn't this enough to explain the problem? ”

"What's so strange about this, your retainers and the forces sent by the lord are all stained with your light, if you don't arrange it properly, how can they have the current reputation."

"Even if there is merit in the following, but when the father-in-law was a child in the clan clan, he was a famous general in the world, will it be worse than the clan clan? Decades have passed, didn't my father-in-law give his retainers a chance?

Seeing that Sakuma Nobumori was about to argue, he heard that the clan's face suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "Father-in-law! Do you know why in the past ten years, you have received fewer and fewer merits, and even Kinoshita Toyoshiro, who was originally just a junior samurai and you don't want to look at it more, is far superior to you in terms of merits? ”

If Sakuma Nobumori didn't listen carefully to the clan before, but was just thinking about how to refute his words, then now he can't help but be not serious. And this is also where he has been very puzzled in recent years, after all, his martial arts have not regressed with age, but after countless battles, he has become more and more experienced, but the more this is the case, the less he has made meritorious contributions, seeing that even the monkey has left himself far behind, how can he not be in a hurry, but what is the use of being in a hurry, he still has no meritorious service, if this continues, he will not have the face to claim to be a heavy minister of the Oda family.

"Could this be related to the old man's retainers?" After listening to the clan's words, Sakuma Nobumori finally began to face up to his retainers.

"Yes, the reason why my father-in-law has no merit is because of the retainers, not to mention the clan, only the other father-in-law of the clan, Lord Shibata, why can he still make meritorious contributions often, not because of the Maori under his command, Kanamori, which one of the worshippers is not a samurai who has made a name for himself, not to mention the Sazuo who was recently sent by the new lord, and the Lord is even more brave and unparalleled, so there will be the prosperity of the Shibata family now, looking at the father-in-law, your father-in-law, your ability is comparable to that of Shibata-sama, but it is much dimmer in comparison, This is entirely because of the retainers, as for Kinoshita Tengjiro, even more so, if he uses his own ability, becoming a low-level samurai is already the end, but since he has Kuroda, Koichiro, Asano, Horio and other capable ministers by his side, the credit is one to gain, and the status is one rise and one rise, and now not only is it equal to you, but even more than you in prestige, and the status in the heart of the lord is probably much higher than you. Do you still think that your retainers are powerful? ”

Hearing this, Sakuma Nobumori couldn't help but feel nervous, he has been following Oda Nobunaga for decades, how can he not see Nobunaga's thoughts, especially in recent years, although the lord does not say it, and when he fails to complete the task, sometimes he will say something to comfort, but he can completely see from the eyes of the lord that the lord seems to be more and more dissatisfied with himself, don't look at this time he still appoints himself as the commander of the legion, but Sakuma Nobumori knows in his heart that if he still does not complete the task of the main bus this time, Then I'm afraid Lin Tongsheng is his own role model.

And when it comes to this, he has to admit that what the clan said is reasonable, but he won't meet each other, who has the ability and who doesn't have the ability to see it, it doesn't take years or even decades to understand, if you wait until then, wouldn't it be too late?

Thinking of this, I only heard Sakuma Nobumori finally show a worried look on his face, and only heard him speak: "Even if the old man doesn't want to admit it, but I have to admit that what you said does have some truth in Qianbei, these retainers under the old man's command are indeed slightly deficient in ability, but how difficult it is to recruit powerful retainers, it's not that the old man doesn't want to, it's that he can't recruit at all, so he can only make peace like this." ”

Seeing that the attitude of the father-in-law finally changed, the clan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if you can't find it, Lao Tzu can't do anything else, this ability to recognize people, if it is called second in this era, who else dares to call it first. As long as the father-in-law admits it, then everything will be easy.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, this matter is a little difficult for you, but it is a trivial matter for the clan."

"Hmph, that's a good thing to say, the old warrior who has made a name for himself in the world also knows his ability, but it's basically impossible to attract his subordinates, I want to hear it, how simple it is for you."

"Could it be that my father-in-law has forgotten the retainers under the command of the clan? Have you ever heard that this person was originally only a low-ranking samurai in the Tokugawa family, but he was discovered by the clan, and now he is known as one of the four heavenly kings of the Takayama family.

Have you ever heard of Masayuki Sanada? Takeda Shingen has always had a reputation for knowing people, but he drove him out of Akabi with his own hands, but since following the clan, who doesn't know Sanada Masayuki, one of the Takayama family's second military divisions, was a world-famous samurai before?

Besides, Kagawa Tadaji, before that, he was just the Oda family banner Ashigaru, and after following the clan, although the three members of the Golden Armor were just laughing, but being one of the seven people was enough to prove their ability.

There is also Maeda Keiji, this person can be said to be a little unwelcome even to the Maeda family before, but after following the clan, the title of one of the sixteen gods is well known, could it be that Keiji was a well-known samurai in the world before this? ”

The clan gave several examples of retainers in a row, and the more Sakuma Nobumori listened, the more frightened he became, before that, he hadn't noticed it, but he just felt that the retainers under the clan were powerful, but now when he heard him say this, he realized that most of these powerful retainers were excavated by the clan, not samurai who had become famous before, so to speak, with the help of the clan, it didn't seem to be a very difficult thing for him to get a few capable generals.

I only heard Sakuma Nobumori say: "This matter still needs to be discussed between the clan and me." (To be continued)
