Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the three people below, and scolded in his heart, these three bastards can really cause trouble for themselves, what the family needs at present is not the territory, but the strength, as long as there is strength, will the territory still be lacking?

However, he also knew that he had such an idea because he had to sell it cheaply, and he got 300,000 stone land for no reason in a month, and it was too late for him to steal the fun, how could he have such an idea, but it was too appalling for these three people to win 300,000 stone in Ueno, so the clan planned to let them talk about the process in detail to see if they could get any more beneficial news from it.

So I only heard the clan say: "You just said that you not only captured 300,000 stone land in Ueno, but also killed all those vassal wealthy clans of the Hojo family?" How do you do it? ”

Since this time the clan asked about the details, Yura Nari Shigeru and Kohata Nobusada didn't speak, after all, the abilities of both of them were not in their mouths, and it was really difficult to explain the cause and effect from beginning to end. They knew that it was very important for Takayama to ask questions this time, and it was even up to them to see if they could get some more rewards, so when the clan clan finished speaking, the two of them couldn't help but set their eyes on Saito Kenhiro. After all, among the three of them, in terms of intelligence and eloquence, Saito Kenhiro is the best.

After making eye contact with the two of them, Saito Kenhiro pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Back to Takayama-sama, this time as an inferior person, the reason why I was able to capture Ueno for the adults was all up to the adults, and I waited for the ...... after returning to Ueno at the beginning of the period" Saito Kenhiro was still a little nervous at first, but seeing that Takayama-sama listened with relish, he gradually let go, first how the three of them attacked each other and helped Yura Nari Shigeru to mix into the enemy city and capture the city, and how to pretend to be the Hojo Army to sweep away the wealthy clan. After talking about nearly a meal, he didn't even hit a stumble.

After hearing this, the clan finally understood what the three of them were doing in Ueno, and when the other party said that many wealthy families in Ueno were ready to turn their backs on Hojo, his mood finally improved a lot, and the clan believed it. This phenomenon is by no means the only one in Ueno, and it can be said that those wealthy families have completely separated from the Hojo family, so it will be of great benefit to the family.

Although these wealthy clans have seriously consumed a lot of strength after the Echigo War, they can still contain a lot of troops directly under the Hojo family, so how many troops can the Hojo clan send to seize Ueno? One or two? The clan quickly calculated in his heart that the east side of the Hojo family would be at least ready for Satake. The west side of the defense Sakuma at least one reserve, Odawara at least one reserve, so that it can really mobilize the army is only one elite, although in Utsunomiya, Yuki, Satomi three families because the head of the family died in Echigo, the Hojo clan used the excuse that the three families were not in a good position. He has already seized the territory of hundreds of thousands of stones from the three of them, but he wants to increase the number of elites with the newly seized land. It's not something that can be done this year, that is, Ueno can't be said to be absolutely safe this year, but at least the family can be completely defended.

Thinking of this, the clan was in a good mood. The more I look at the three people in front of me, the more pleasing it is, especially the little Hata Nobusada, if it weren't for him, it is estimated that they would only be able to win Gunma County this time, and don't look at this little Hata Nobutada is not known for his intelligence. But this time he not only has courage but also strategy has definitely reached the level of a first-class samurai, especially courage This is even more rare, as a samurai from a wealthy family, he can have such courage, not to mention this success, even if he fails, the clan also intends to reuse this person, especially this person and Saito Kenhiro, the biggest difference between Yura Chengfan is that he is still young, and he looks like he is in his early thirties, so that the samurai who has matured and is not too old is what the family needs most at present, and the previous clan likes some younger people, Samurai who are not even twenty years old, that's because the family business was not big at that time, and the clan had time to train them, but as the family business continues to expand, and then train young samurai, it is possible to come, but when will they grow up, this problem is very serious, so what the clan needs most now is a samurai who are around thirty years old and can be used. As for Saito Kenhiro and Yura Narishi, they both look like they are already forty or fifty years old, although their abilities are not bad, but even if they are reused, how many years can they serve their family? As for their descendants, the clan has never heard of any particularly outstanding talents, so it is better to let them retire with peace of mind.

After having this idea, I only heard the clan sect speak: "Okay, I have to say that the three of you have made me very satisfied this time, since this is the case, of course I will not treat the three of you badly." ”

Speaking of this, I saw that the clan sect's expression was condensed, and he said solemnly: "Saito Kenhiro, Yuliang Chengfan, Kohata Nobusada!" Are the three of you willing to be my retainers of the Gaoshan family? ”

When the three of them heard this, they knew that the most critical moment had come, so they also looked serious, and said without any hesitation: "Back to Lord Gaoshan, we are willing to become ministers of the Gaoshan family and swear allegiance to the Gaoshan family." ”

"Okay, then I'm recruiting you three as retainers of the Gaoshan family now." Speaking of this, I saw that the clan first looked at Saito Kenhiro, and then said, "Where is Saito Kenhiro!" ”

Saito Kenhiro hurriedly replied, "The subordinates are here, please ask the lord to order." ”

"I now appoint you as the general of the Gaoshan family, and lead the rock cabinet city to know and do 30,000 stones."

"Thank you to the lord, my subordinates will swear allegiance to the lord, and this oath will never be betrayed." After hearing this, Saito Kenhiro couldn't help but quickly replied, and his current mentality can be completely seen from his face, 30,000 stone Zhixing, it sounds like the clan often talks about hundreds of thousands, millions of territories, but he is already twelve points satisfied, the Ueno Saito family from the ancestor Kenyuki's generation, in Ueno Azuma County hard work, to his own generation, has passed five generations of more than 200 years, but it can also be able to expand the land under his rule to eight thousand stone high, And at least thirty percent of these 8,000 stone zhixing were gradually won by taking advantage of the chaos in Ueno because of the destruction of the Takeda family, but today, the gift of Lord Takayama has nearly quadrupled the land under his rule at once, and he has become a great name in one step from a wealthy family that does not enter the stream, which is definitely a generous gift for him. Especially with the identity of the Takayama family's direct minister, he doesn't have to be scared all day long like before in the future. As long as you don't make mistakes, then the 30,000 stones can be passed down from generation to generation.

At this point, he not only has confidence in himself, but also in the Takayama family, especially in the eastern country, no one can shake the existence of the Takayama family now, especially after Uesugi has made a choice. Even Hojo definitely doesn't have such an ability. Therefore, their own territory is absolutely safe.

Don't care how excited Saito Kenhiro was, I just heard the clan say again: "Yuliang Chengfan, this time you have made great contributions to the family, I now appoint you as the general of the Takayama family, and give Jinshan Castle Zhixing 35,000 stone high." ”

After listening to the lord's reward for himself, Yura Narishi was in the same state as Saito Kenhiro, and after hearing that his knowledge and deeds were five thousand stone more than the other party. is even more excited, these five thousand stone knowledge is enough to prove that the lord does not only pay attention to strategy, it seems that as long as he has the courage to charge for the Gao Shan family, then he will not be valued by the lord because his intelligence is inferior to the other party, so he can be regarded as completely relieved. So I only heard him say excitedly: "Thank you lord, your subordinates will swear allegiance to the death." ”

Now the clan has rewarded both of them. Only Nobusada Kohata was left, which made the clan suddenly feel a little difficult, with his merits this time, even if he sealed his 50,000 Zhixing, it was not much, but in this way, Nobusada Kohata was satisfied. But what will Maeda Toshika, Wasuka Masakatsu and others think of this, although the knowledge of Saito Kenhiro and Yura Narishi is also comparable to them, especially Yura Narishigeru has already surpassed, but after all, the retainers can also think of it. I'm afraid that such a generous reward for them is just such a time, and the retainers shouldn't have any ideas, but this Kohata Nobusada is different, the clan not only wants to reward him for his knowledge, but also gives him a specific appointment, so that the retainers must know that they want to reuse this person, especially with more knowledge and action, it will be easier to make meritorious contributions in the future, maybe he will rely on the existing knowledge and action, and gradually throw off Wasuka Masakatsu and others, which is what the retainers do not want to see, and it is also what the clan does not allow to happen, after all, regardless of ability or feelings, Wasuka Masakatsu, who has followed him for more than ten years, Maeda Toshiya and others are not comparable to this Kohata Nobutada, so he must not let those old ministers in the family feel cold because of this matter.

Thinking of this, the clan finally made a decision, if this decision was not stupid for Nobusada Kohata, not only would he not have a grudge against himself, but he would be grateful to himself.

I only heard the clan say: "Kohata Nobusada, I now appoint you as the general of the Takayama family, and give 20,000 stone to the national peak city Zhixing." ”

At this time, Nobusada Kohata was thinking in his heart that even Saito Kenhiro and Yura Narishi had won a reward of more than 30,000 koku this time, so how much could he get, at least 50,000 koku, after all, this time, it was all up to his own strategy to be able to win the remaining more than 200,000 koku territory in Ueno except for Gunma County, so it should not be difficult to raise Zhixing to 50,000 koku.

But when the clan sect finished speaking, he was dumbfounded, how could he have only 20,000 stones? This is much less than Saito and Yura, could it be that I heard it wrong? It's impossible to give it, he didn't listen to anything else just now, he doesn't care about any generals or generals, he only cares about how much actual benefits he can get, so there is no such thing as hearing wrong, so is it the lord who said it wrong? He immediately had such a thought, but how could the lord be wrong about such an important matter? So what's the problem? Is it because he didn't exert much effort when he took Gunma County? This shouldn't be, Gunma County is only a few tens of thousands of stones, how can it be compared with the other 200,000 stones in Ueno, especially Saito Kenhiro, who didn't make any effort, just came up with a strategy, could it be said that his strategy is a plan, isn't my strategy?

Saito Kenhiro and Yura Chengsao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, the two of them also thought before that the big head of the reward this time would definitely fall on Kohata Nobusada, but when they listened, they found that they were outrageously wrong, and they couldn't see the purpose of the lord's doing this at all, could it be that the lord wanted to suppress Kohata Nobusada? Otherwise, they really can't think of why the lord would lower his reward than himself, if this is the case, then it is better to stay away from this little hata Shinsada in the future, so as not to catch fire.

Although the two of them invariably have such thoughts, but now that the lord is in front of them, not only can they not show it, but they have to mention it, this Kohata Nobusada has been stunned for a long time, if the lord is dissatisfied, then maybe even he will be picked up by him, so I saw Saito Kenhiro hurriedly and secretly stabbed Kohata Nobusada and signaled him to hurry up and thank him.

And Kohata Nobuzhen has only come to his senses, and now that the reward has been decided, even if he is dissatisfied, there is no way, after all, the lord can give himself Zhixing, so he has the ability to take it back, and even casually moves the year to destroy the Kohata family, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he does not dare to resist.

So I only heard Kohata Nobutada say weakly: "Thank you lord, my subordinates will swear allegiance to ......."

What the clan wants is his dissatisfaction, when the other party's hope is completely shattered, and then he will give him greater hope again, only in this way can the other party follow him with all his heart. This is the best way to control the bottom, if it is just out of the clan, the clan can not do this, now after more than ten years of training, the clan has already been fully matured, especially standing in the position of the superior for so many years, if he does not even have the ability to control this point, then it can only be said that he is a fool.

It's just that Kohata Nobuzhen's attitude did not meet his requirements at all, and the other party still chose to accept it, which may be the biggest difference between the Hao family and the retainers who did not know how to do it before, with the bond of Zhixing, then the first thing the Hao family thought of was to preserve the family business, and those who did not know the line of retainers did not have so many ideas, once they made an unfair reward, then they would definitely put it forward, rather than silently accepting, of course, if they have a reasonable reason, then they will not have anything to say.

He originally thought that after he was rewarded with 20,000 stones, this Kohata Nobusada would definitely raise objections, after all, judging from his performance just now, he was not a person who did not dare to speak, as long as he answered, then he could continue to speak, but now that the other party did not say anything, then the clan would not be able to say anything more.
