Chapter 214: First Step

Chapter 214 is one step ahead

In the castle tower of Mekada Town, Asai Nagamasa heard that the reason why the clan was so hasty was because of the unstable territory, so it was not easy to say anything about keeping each other, after all, the matter of the territory is a big deal, and if it is because of his own retention, the Takayama clan's territory is lost, then it is really too much.

However, thinking that the territory under the rule of the Ji Xiaolu family is only more than 10,000 stones, and the country of Hida is vast and sparsely populated, is he eating the courage of the ambitious leopard and daring to provoke the Gaoshan clan, is he not afraid of the destruction of his family name?

Thinking of this, I only heard Asai Nagamasa say: "Lord Takayama, since the territory is unstable, then Nagamasa will no longer stay together, if the adults need help, please don't be polite." ”

The reason why the clan didn't mention the matter of the Takenaka half-guard, it was because he knew the way, this Asai Nagamasa was also a person who was eager to seek talent, especially after he helped him solve several major problems in the Asai family, he was even more favored by the resourceful people, and Mino bordered the North Omi, the clan did not believe that Asai Nagamasa had not heard of the name of Mino Kirin'er, and the Takenaka Hanbei had used the information of the army to repel his family several times before, and I believe he also knew the way, If he were to know that Takenaka Hanbei was now living in seclusion in the castle town of Kita-Omi, Ibukiyama Castle, he would definitely go there himself.

Clan Zong dared to assert that Asai Nagamasa would definitely not ignore it after only giving Takenaka Hanbei 3,000 stone Zhiyuki as in history, if this is the case, if the Oda family wants to poach again, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

"Thank you for understanding the hardships of the Asai Palace, then I will return here, if there is anything that needs help in the hall in the future, please don't be polite." Seeing that Asai Nagamasa finally stopped insisting, the clan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and spoke.

"Then let Changzheng send it to the adult." Asai Nagamasa saw that the scheming Takayama clan was about to leave, and he was really a little reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to dig Nobunaga's horn, and now he can only make friends with the Takayama clan.

Subsequently, after a few more polite words with Asai Nagamasa, the clan rejected his kindness, and led his men to leave Mekada Castle directly and go straight to Ibukiyama Castle Castle.

And not long after the clan left, Asai Nagamasa received a report from his subordinates, Takenaka Hanbei led only sixteen people to easily seize Inabayama Castle, and soon after returned the castle to Saito Ryuxing, Asai Nagamasa listened, his heart was shocked, he can know how strong Inabayama Castle is, Takenaka Hanbei can seize this city with only a dozen people, it seems that his wisdom should not be worse than Takayama clan.

And what excites Asai Nagamasa the most is that after the news that Takenaka Hanbei is currently living in seclusion in Joshita Town, Ibuki Yamajo Castle, Kita-Omi, after handing over Inabayama Castle back to Saito Ryuko, he can't wait to go here immediately to persuade Takenaka Hanbei to become his subordinate, but he is the governor of the Asai family, and there are many important things waiting for him to deal with all day long, and although this Kada Town has been in hand, he still needs to be here for a few days in order to be stable.

Asai Nagamasa had no choice but to stay for two more days, but it was because he was delayed, so when he personally went to Ibuki Yamajo Castle to recruit Takenaka half-guards, it was already empty, and after a few long sighs, Asai Nagamasa was also worth returning to Kotani Castle helplessly.

Just a few days before the clan clan went to Ibuki Yamajo Castle non-stop, Kinoshita Toyoshiro, the general of the Oda family, was also excited.

He saw that not long ago, Niwa Nagahide, who went to bed and returned to Takenaka Hanbei, was unsuccessful, and he couldn't help but start to think, although soon after, he learned that the always wise Takenaka Hanbei was actually stupid and returned Inabayama Castle to Saito Ryuko, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, if he could have such a hurry, even if he didn't stand on his own, he would return the city to the Oda family to obtain the land of Mino Bankoku, which was a land of more than 200,000 stones, and the Takenaka Hanbei said that if he didn't want it, he wouldn't want it. Is there something wrong with his brain?

After hearing about this, Kinoshita Toyoshiro was indignant, but in any case, this Takenaka half-soldier guard is also a rare talent, and if he can be persuaded to serve the Oda family, I am afraid that the lord will have a reward.

Thinking of this, Kinoshita Toyoshiro hurriedly went to the castle tower to apply for a task, and Oda Nobunaga, as the governor of the Oda family, of course, hoped that there would be more talents under his command, so when Kinoshita Toyoshiro came, saying that he wanted to go back to Takenaka Hanbei, of course Nobunaga had no possibility of refusing, he had the attitude of trying it out, or let him go to Ibukiyama Castle Castle Shimota, but Nobunaga did not have much hope, he used the land of Mino half of the country, but he failed to impress the Takenaka Hanbei, and this appearance was ugly, Kinoshita Toyoshiro, who has a vulgar language, just goes alone, how likely is it to succeed? ,

In the castle town mansion of Ibukiyama Castle, when the half-guards of Takenaka were studying the art of war calmly, suddenly a sharp shout came from outside the door: "Takenaka-sama is here?" ”

Takenaka Hanbei was unhappy when he saw someone disturbing, but he still put the book of military law in his hand on the table, walked to the door, and gently pushed the door open, only to see a short and thin samurai with an ugly appearance smiling at him, but in Takenaka's Hanbei's opinion, the smile on his face was even more ugly than crying.

Although Takenaka Hanbei didn't like it, but looking at what the other party was wearing, and the sword on his waist, he also knew that the other party was a samurai, and he was just a ronin now, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited him into the house.

After the two of them sat down, although Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro was eager to persuade Takenaka Hanbei to join the Oda family, he also knew in his heart that if it was really direct persuasion, it would be a bit too abrupt, and it might backfire.

Moreover, when Niwa Nagahide went to Inabayama Castle to persuade him, he offered Mino Banguo as a condition for him to be obedient, and this Takenaka half-guard was unmoved, so what could he promise him? Before he set off, the lord did not explain how he would be rewarded after the Takenaka half-guards returned to obedience, and Mino Banguo was definitely out of play, and Ikishita Tojiro wanted to come, if he was really willing to submit, at most he would reward him with two or three thousand Zhixing.

Although in Kinoshita Toyoshiro's opinion, these two or three thousand Zhixing are already a lot, but this Takenaka Hanbei can even refuse Mino and half of the country, will he still care about that bit of land? Therefore, it is not good for me to say more about this matter, and it seems that I can only play the emotional card first.
