This time, Nobunaga did not summon the clan in the assessment room, but chose the location in a tea room, and judging from the expression on Nobunaga's face, his mood today should be quite good, and thinking about it, the situation of the Oda family is very good, and Nobunaga has no reason not to be happy.

Observing Oda Nobunaga was only an instantaneous thing, and as soon as he entered the tea room, he immediately saluted respectfully and said, "My subordinate Takayama clan is the lord." ”

Nobunaga picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before saying, "You've been doing a good job lately." ”

Nobunaga suddenly threw out a sentence so salty, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the clan, but he knew that when Oda Nobunaga spoke normally, then he was guaranteed to be nothing, but once he began to say something that he didn't know, then you have to think carefully about what you did wrong, or caused Nobunaga's displeasure, unfortunately both of these things were taken over by the clan, and the failure to join forces with Uesugi was definitely a major mistake, and the friendship with the Asai family must have caused Nobunaga's displeasure. However, the clan knew that Nobunaga cared more about his attitude towards Asai, but the more this happened, the more he couldn't cause the topic, it was better to be able to confuse the past, and if not, he had to explore Nobunaga's thoughts first. The clan suddenly found that he hadn't pretended to be a grandson for a long time, and he thought that he could dodge for at least five years, but who would have thought that he would not be able to escape this disaster this year, and because he hadn't pretended to be a grandson for more than a year, he was already a little rusty, so the clan quickly calmed himself down and adjusted his state as soon as possible, so as not to be unable to keep up with his brain and be scolded by Nobunaga, and he is now also a million-stone daimyo, so such a humiliating thing must not be allowed to happen.

But Nobunaga was right in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about it. So I heard the clan sect hurriedly say: "Lord, my subordinates know their mistakes." ”

"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Nobunaga said with a blank face.

"Back to the lord, this time to fight with the Uesugi family, if the subordinates go in person, then it will definitely not be the result it is now. It is a loss to Uesugi Kenshin who died violently halfway, otherwise the sins of his subordinates would be even greater, but this is enough to show that the gods are on the side of the lord. "The clan sect is absolutely not concerned about the affairs of the Asai family, and in the end, they can only move the great god Amaterasu out to save the scene.

Nobunaga is definitely the first atheist in the world today, and Nobunaga doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas at all, so Amaterasu is not easy to do in front of Nobunaga.

"Bastard, it's hard for you to use Amurasu to fool you. Let me ask you, Asai suddenly sent out an army to help Shibata, but your idea? ”

Hearing this, the clan knew that he would definitely not be able to pass the test if he didn't tell the truth, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Back to the lord, this matter is indeed the best way to think of it, and just as the subordinates thought, the Asai family's army caught the Uesugi army off guard. Even Uesugi Kenshin forgot it, and died of grief and anger because of it......"

"Shut up for me. What kind of benefits did Asai Nagamasa give you, so you helped him speak like this. ”

Originally, after Nobunaga figured it out a few days ago, he no longer took Asai Nagamasa to heart, and if the clan was narrating from the perspective of a bystander, Nobunaga didn't feel anything, and what he could hear from his mouth was that Asai was maintained everywhere. Nobunaga was immediately enraged, he was angry that the clan, as the first retainer of his family and the retainer he relied on the most, was not of the same mind as himself, which was absolutely inadmissible. Arguably. This time, the clan misguessed Nobunaga's thoughts.

"It's the lord, the subordinates know their mistakes, and ask the lord to calm his anger." The clan said hurriedly, and thought to himself, Lao Tzu now directly admits his mistake and does not compete with you. , you're embarrassed to always hold on to it, after all, everyone is a person with an identity.

Of course, due to the good attitude of the clan to admit his mistakes, Nobunaga also put away his anger, and after calming down his mood, he said solemnly: "You should know my attitude towards the Asai family, so I don't want you to have anything to do with him, otherwise what you can get today, I can take it back at any time." Nobunaga's words were not about Asai incident, but he meant something else, and he wanted to tell the clan not to have thoughts against his will, not only about this matter, but also about what happened in the future. It's not that Nobunaga has begun to stop feeling trust in the clan, but just a kind reminder, telling the clan not to get carried away because he has strength now, and to correct his mentality, although as the lord reminds his subordinates that there is nothing, and what he says is not comfortable.

The clan couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, this was the first time Nobunaga said such a thing to him, which couldn't help but cause the anger of the clan, although he didn't dare to show it, but he had an idea in his heart, it seems that Nobunaga with the strength of the Oda family is getting stronger and stronger, and his mentality has changed again, although he was moody before, but now he has become invincible. Of course, the clan is not too afraid of Nobunaga's words, first of all, he said that not an inch of land under his rule was beaten down by himself, and Nobunaga did not provide any help, so how could he take it back if he wanted to, not only that, the Oda family has today's family business, at least half of it is his own credit, in history, even if the Oda family was at its peak, there was no such strength as it is now, so Nobunaga was just scaring and scaring himself, although the clan did not doubt Nobunaga's courage, but if you want to do something to the family, then the collar must be unstable, This will have extremely serious consequences for his unification cause, and even if he really forces himself out of line, then he can completely unite with Hojo, as long as Hojo doesn't make trouble behind his back, then with Nobunaga's direct control of these crooked melons and cracked dates, the work of other legions is not contributive, and he really doesn't have the strength to fight a war. So the clan is now fledgling, and he is not afraid of Nobunaga's threat at all, of course, if it was placed in the past, and there is now strength, then maybe it will be the opposite when he goes back, but now the clan has matured a lot, and Nobunaga's words have not been taken to heart at all, and he has already thought of the best of both worlds.

Although Nobunaga's words meant something else, the clan pretended not to understand, and only talked about Asai and didn't mention anything else at all, but only listened to him and said, "Yes, my subordinates should keep it in mind, but as for Asai matters, my subordinates have something to say." ”

Seeing that the clan clan has such a firm attitude, Nobunaga is very satisfied, after all, he still values the clan very much, since he has already expressed his intentions, he should rely on it or rely on it, so his mood has improved, and he doesn't plan to make a fuss about Asai anymore, just to remind him that even if he hears him mention the matter of Asai Nagamasa, he is ready to listen to it first, after all, with the wisdom of the clan, he will never do things without a purpose.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga say, "Say, I'll hear what you think." ”

"Back to the lord, there is something unknown to my subordinates, and I want to ask the lord for advice, but the lord thinks that his preferences are important, or is the world important?"

"Huh?" Nobunaga couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what the clan wanted to say, so he didn't speak.

"Lord, if it is to dominate the world as its own responsibility, then the subordinates feel that there is nothing wrong with the subordinates befriending the Asai family, the lord formulated the task last year, although the subordinates were fortunate to be appreciated by the lord and became the commander of the army to attack the Kanto region, but the strength of the Hojo family must be known to the lord, if it only relies on the strength of his subordinates, let alone five years, even fifty years may not be completed, from then on, it is a trivial matter for his subordinates to be punished, and it is a big deal to delay the great cause of the lord to unify the world, So in order to achieve the goal of the lord, the subordinates thought of a way, that is, to unite all the forces that can be united, to help the lord sweep the Kanto, and to help the lord guard this place, but Shibata-sama needs to guard against Uesugi, and Sakuma-sama, even if he assists, but Hojo is powerful, and it is difficult to eliminate Hojo in the rest of the time with only two families, so the subordinates thought of Asai, the Asai family has more than 100,000 stone territory, and the elite ashigaru is 30,000, does the lord really plan to let them have nothing to do in Echizen Kaga, with this, It would be better to mobilize them and their subordinates to destroy Hojo together, so as to seize the Kanto region as soon as possible for the lord, so that the eastern country could be decided.

Of course, if the lord values his own preferences, then as long as the lord orders, his subordinates will personally lead the army to eliminate Asai and send the head of Asai Nagamasa to the lord, so how the subordinates should do it, please decide the lord. After all, in front of Nobunaga, some things can be said nonsense, but some things must be told the truth, otherwise once Nobunaga hears the flaws, then this will definitely affect Nobunaga's trust in himself. Of course, although the clan thought so, in order to avoid Nobunaga's suspicion, it was to win over Asai to seize the Kanto region for himself to win the place for the Oda family, but it was the same for Nobunaga, and if he occupied the Kanto, wouldn't it mean that Nobunaga occupied it, and as for whether it was the case, it would take until the clan clan really controlled this place to find out.

After hearing this, Nobunaga had to sigh again, this Senbei is still the same Senbei, no matter what he does, he still thinks about his family, it seems that he is really wrong to blame him. And he also took into account the current predicament of the clan, although he was able to agree to Tokugawa Ieyasu's request to exchange it with the Sakuma family's territory, that is, he knew that the Hojo family was not something that the Takayama family could eliminate at all, so he sent the Sakuma family to help, but Nobunaga also knew that even if this was the case, it would be difficult to complete it in five years, so he had already thought that even if the clan failed to complete the task within the specified time, he would not blame it.
