Chapter 870: Asking for but Not Wanting
The clan couldn't help but be a little angry after hearing this, this is obviously a shameless face, he risked the retainers to complain, and gave him double the knowledge and action, but he still refused, you must know that the current knowledge and action of the Gaoshan family is very valuable, and how many retainers want to get the reward most is land, and now he actually rejected himself.
I've been mixed in this era for so many years, and I've never missed a deal in recruiting talents, whether it's hard to recruit Honda Masanshin, whether it's difficult to recruit Maeda Toshi's family, and finally they all obediently become their own retainers, but this Naoe Kane's continuation is really unimmersed, which can't help but make the clan feel annoyed, because he doesn't want to make a mistake in recruiting talents.
So I only heard the clan say: "Do you know that this is my third condition, if you don't agree, then do you know the consequences?" The clan knew that after saying this, he had fallen into the next success, but at the moment he didn't care about these anymore, anyway, as long as Naoe Kaneji was able to turn to the office, the process didn't matter at all, as for whether he could get his heart after getting his people, the clan was not worried, all the retainers of the Takayama family were not sincerely loyal, he believed that once the other party joined, he would inevitably change his concept, even if there was a gap at the beginning, but as time went by, the gap would gradually disappear.
However, Naoe's answer was unexpected by the clan, he himself thought that once he said such a thing, then even if he didn't want to agree, but for the sake of the Uesugi family, he had to agree, after all, the reason why he was unwilling to transfer to serve was because of loyalty, and the feelings for the Uesugi family, so the clan didn't think it would fail at all, but the ideal was often very full. But the reality is skinny.
I only heard Naoe Kaseki speak: "Takayama-sama is admired by the world. I think that adults can gain such fame. In addition to the strength of the Takayama family, the most important thing is that Takayama-sama has a benevolent heart, so if someone says that Takayama-sama will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, he will be the first to disbelieve him, and he will stand up and defend himself to the world, and no one will be allowed to tarnish Takayama-sama's reputation. ”
"Hahaha, good, good boy. Since my Gaoshan clan came out, I have never missed in recruiting talents, and I never thought that I would miss, and today it was finally broken, yes, you are really good. After the other party said this, the clan couldn't help laughing and laughing, now his mood is very complicated, it is said that it is anger, but it is not enough. After all, not only is there no disrespect in the other party's words, but they are singing praises. As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, how can you be angry at this time, say happy, then you can't talk about it, you actually missed in recruiting talents this time, how can you be happy. But no matter what the mood is, he knows that the matter of recruiting Naoe Kanexu can only be stopped, otherwise once it spreads, then his reputation will be hit hard, and even if the clan does not give up, it is useless, the other party has already lifted himself to the sky, if he still plays tricks, then he will really become an unscrupulous despicable villain, and he can treat the enemy by unscrupulous means, but it is better to treat the people on his side with sincerity.
Naoe Kane's words were also said hard, and he was ready to transfer to the Gaoshan family, if the Gaoshan clan really disregarded his face and forcibly pulled himself into the Gaoshan family, then for the sake of the lord, he could only agree, but after the other party finished speaking, he knew that the other party had given up, it seems that this Gaoshan lord still cherishes his reputation, or he has not reached the height that must be pulled over, but in any case, this level is passed.
"I would like to thank Takayama-sama for his generosity, and I would like to ask Takayama-sama to change his conditions."
"No need, just these two conditions, you go back and tell Uesugi Keikatsu that the Uesugi family is in turmoil, and my Takayama clan will not interfere, and as for Hojo, I will leave it to my family to be responsible."
"Thank you so much, Lord Takayama, I will return to the lord in the next place." The potential meaning of the clan sect, he heard it, that is, if the lord can't even fight Uesugi Jinghu, then he is not worthy of joining the Takayama camp at all, so what they have to face now is not to withstand the attack of Uesugi Jinghu, but to eliminate it.
Kosefuan, who acts as a yobi, ended the dialogue between the lord and Naoe Kane, and after recording the family's assistance to Uesugi, he thought about it and wrote at the bottom: The lord wants to get but has not obtained the talent, and Naoe Kanesuke is the first person.
After Naoe Kaseki left first, the clan didn't mean to get up, after all, since he had promised the other party, then he needed to discharge the army as soon as possible, otherwise once Uesugi Keihu and the Hojo Army joined forces, then Kasuga Mountain Castle's Uesugi Keikatsu was definitely not an opponent, and if the action was late, then the result would still be unfavorable to the Takayama family.
Therefore, I only listened to the clan sect's immediate order: "Come here, immediately recruit three military divisions and the commanders of each army, and the deputy commander to meet you." ”
"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it." After the attendant finished speaking, he immediately walked backwards and quickly out of the assessment room.
Since the last time I fought with the Uesugi army, it ended in the defeat of my family, so the commanders of the Takayama family are holding back a lot of strength, that is, the big training of the army, although the armament is not yet sufficient, especially the gap in the war horse is still very large, but this does not affect the training, the horse is not enough, it doesn't matter, then the two of them take turns to ride, today you ride a horse to practice charging, he will work hard, tomorrow the reverse will be, as long as the horse is fine, then the training can not be stopped. The same is true of other armies, especially the spear ashigaru team, the last time was not an ordinary defeat, it was defeated by the enemy head-on, this is the first time since the formation of the Alpine Army, especially even the commander was killed in the chaos of the army, so what else is there to say, since the combat power is low, the will is poor, then practice to the death, aren't you afraid of death, then okay, then practice actual combat confrontation, the two armies are in a row, and the gun in the hand is still a spear, just wrapped in cloth, and then start fighting, After the winner is divided, it is not good, the winning side is divided into two parts, continue to fight, and when you are tired and lie down, you will count.
Especially Ito Yubing, he joined the Takayama family to revive his family name, and his subordinates are all cowards How can they help him succeed, so he is more ruthless than Katsusuke Tanaka.
Just as the various armies were being drilled, they received an order from the lord to summon them, so they had to put down their work first and go to the castle tower immediately, and the ashigaru under their command also had a chance to take a breath.
"Subordinates, etc., see the lord." When all the people had arrived, they saluted and spoke.
"Okay, I gathered everyone here today for the Uesugi family, I think you should already know the news of the Uesugi family's civil strife, if it's just like that, then it has nothing to do with the family, but because Uesugi Jinghu has asked the Hojo family for help, and the Hojo family sent 30,000 troops to Echigo this time, so once Uesugi Jinghu controls Uesugi, then it will be extremely unfavorable to the family, so just now I have reached an agreement with Uesugi Keikatsu, this time the family will send troops to help it drag down the Hojo family's army, However, after all, the Hojo Army was powerful, and the training of the own army was not completed, and the armament was not complete, so this battle was by no means simple. "The clan said the most worried thing in his heart, if it was before, the clan would not have such an idea at all, after all, although the army will be small, but it is not a problem to have one enemy three, but now a large number of recruits are flooded in the family in addition to the ninja army, especially the cavalry and iron artillery team, even the equipment has not been gathered, such a military situation in the strength is not comparable to the Hojo family's five-color preparation, although the five-color preparation has also expanded, but the recruits only account for more than three-tenths, if the two armies are head-to-head, or the family loses greater, Therefore, the clan sect's words are to hope that the retainers present will pay attention to this issue, the Gao Shan army at this stage is no longer the one before, at least in the last year, the clan must change the concept of the retainers, otherwise it will still suffer a big loss.
"My lord, there is no need to worry about this matter, and my subordinates think that this battle with the Hojo Army may be a good opportunity for training." Before the commanders could speak, they only heard Mizuse Uemon take the lead in speaking, and after speaking, he glanced at the lord, and saw that the lord had no intention of interrupting, so he only listened to him continue: "My lord, my lords, I will get information today, although the Hojo family sent an army of 30,000 this time, but the real elite is only 8,000 people under the command of Kasahara Yasukatsu in the five-color preparation, and 13,000 of the remaining 22,000 troops are the troops of the wealthy clan attached to Hojo, and the rest of the troops are sent by the attached Utsunomiya family.
My lord, my lords, although the Hojo family has begun to implement the separation of soldiers and peasants, but due to the harsh conditions, these wealthy families are just perfunctory, so the combat power of these wealthy clans can only be regarded as slightly stronger than the peasant soldiers, and although the nine thousand troops of the Utsunomiya family have participated in many battles and have rich combat experience, their equipment is much worse, so even if the family is newly recruited, it is much stronger than the other party in terms of combat power. ”
After hearing the news, everyone, including the clan sect, breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party is just a temporary patchwork team, then it is indeed as Mizuse Uemon said, this time is really a good opportunity to train soldiers, the most lacking thing in the Takayama Army at present is actual combat, and now the Hojo family has actually sent it to the door, and if they don't practice their hands, then I'm really sorry for the other party's arrangement.
It's just that the clan has a doubt in his heart, Echigo is extremely important to both the family and the Hojo family, who gets the support of the Uesugi family, then in the future when the two families start a full-scale war, the Hojo clan should definitely not give up, but he only sent a reserve plus more than 20,000 old and weak soldiers, is it so sure that he can win?
