PS: Revert to update

Five days later, Takayama Castle.

The retainers in the castle tower had arrived, but unlike usual, the assessment room was very quiet, but it could be seen from the faces of the retainers that everyone had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time.

"The lord has arrived!"

When the words fell, I saw the Takayama clan slowly walking out of the inner room, but unlike usual, I saw that he was not wearing gorgeous clothes today, but a yellow homespun linen clothes, although the clothes looked brand new, but they were not worthy of the identity of the clan in any case.

And this is not the most puzzling, the clan is not only dressed in coarse linen clothes, but also looks out of the neck, a two-foot square wooden flail mercilessly clamps it, and the two-finger-thick iron chain on it ties its hands.

"Lord!" Seeing the appearance of the lord, the retainers no longer cared about any etiquette, and suddenly stood up and strode towards the clan, and even some radical retainers had already pulled out the knife at their waists, wanting to cut off the wooden flail and iron rope on the lord's body.

"Stand down! Do you still have a trace of the demeanor of a servant? Seeing the retainers rushing over, the clan clan stared at him and scolded loudly.

When the words fell, the retainers immediately stopped, you look at me, I look at you, the prestige of the lord is unquestionable, and such a thought has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the retainers.

It was a long time before the retainers retreated and took their seats again. After seeing that everyone was seated, the clan didn't care about anything else, and went directly to the point, after all, the shackles around his neck are really not light.

Because the retainers had long known that the lord of the Dao Dao was going to abolish the new policy, and now they saw that the lord was so sincere. So attitudes have changed. They know it in their hearts. The reason why the lord implemented the new policy is not for the long-term peace and stability of the Takayama family, although he will not betray the lord, but what about his children and grandchildren?

With the understanding of both parties, the matter was quickly revealed, and it immediately got to the point.

I only heard the clan say: "Everyone, the Takeda clan has now become a dry bone in the mound, if the family does not take it." It was judged by heaven again, but after a year of hard work, you didn't achieve results, and it seems that the Takeda clan is not as weak as imagined. ”

When the retainers heard the lord say this, they all felt very ashamed, and the reason why they fought for a year and did not achieve any results was not because the retainers present did not contribute to their work, otherwise, Shinano would have been pacified in a year.

"My lord. This is a subordinate sin, and it is punished by the Lord. All the retainers said in unison.

I saw the clan wave his hand and say, "Okay." I won't mention the previous things, after all, the clan has a first, but then I hope to pacify Xinjia as soon as possible. ”

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to win the letter for my lord, and I also ask my lord for approval." The tone has been set, and I just heard Maeda Toshiya say it first. After all, in the Gao Shan family, whoever takes the lead, then there is a great possibility that the main guild will hand over the task to this person. If it's a small credit, it doesn't matter, but this capture of the letter is a great merit, and anyone will feel red.

Seeing that Moritsuna Watanabe and the others were a step slower, they couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, but they didn't have any thoughts of giving up. "Lord, if you use your subordinates, your subordinates will guarantee that you will be able to settle Xinjia within two years."

"Watanabe-sama, it's a bit too flattering for you to say that, with the current strength of the family, no matter who goes, it can be captured within two years." Speaking of this, I only heard Bee Suga Korokupi say with a smile, and then continued: "My lord, if you use me, my subordinates will guarantee to destroy Takeda within a year and a half." ”

The retainers are constantly asking for war, but the clan does not put their minds on this, but thinks that since he was born, he must basically do every battle himself, and this advantage is that with his knowledge of history and strategy, he can quickly achieve his goal. But the problem is that the retainers under his command can be trained because of this. With the infinite expansion of the family's strength, it is impossible for him to continue like this in the future, but he needs more generals who can take charge of themselves, which is the way to use soldiers.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "You don't have to fight anymore." ”

After glancing around, I heard the clan say solemnly, "I have decided to attack Takeda in three ways this time. Toshiya Maeda, Mamotsuna Watanabe, and Masakatsuna Wasuka are there! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"I order the three of you to lead an army of 5,000 to take Kiso-Fukushima Castle directly, and then, each of you three will lead a county and capture Minami Shinano in three ways!"

This time the arrangement, the retainers present felt a little uncomfortable, if it was placed before, the lord would definitely arrange it in great detail, but this time only three main generals were appointed, and nothing else was said.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, after a while, I didn't see the lord speak, and Maeda Toshiya couldn't help it, so he just heard him say: "Please ask the lord to arrange tactics." ”

"This battle, whether it is deployment, tactics and so on, you wait to complete it yourself, after the personnel are arranged, the list will be handed over to the military advisor for backup, this time, I just want to see if my Gaoshan family's retainers have a general who can take charge alone."

"Father, the child has come to ask for war, and I hope that my father will allow it." Takayama Nobukatsu had been listening to the movement in the assessment room outside the door, and saw that his father and the retainers were almost discussing, so he hurriedly walked in with Fukushima Masanori, knelt in the middle and spoke.

The clan looked at Takayama Nobukatsu, although from his face, he was still a little immature, but his eyes were full of determination. And Fukushima Masanori behind him already had the meaning of a fierce general, and the clan did not nod secretly.

Since Takayama Nobukatsu had already told him before that he would complete the battle during the Xinjia Raiders, he was not surprised. However, for his arrangement, he can't help but let the clan think about it. Since it is a battle, how many combat exploits he can get is secondary, besides, his military exploits as the eldest son are even less important, the most important thing is his safety.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Okay, since that's the case, then you can follow Watanabe Shouzuna for the time being, but you must not interfere with the command." ”

"Father, the child is willing to lead an army by himself to expand the territory of my Gaoshan family, and I ask my father for permission."

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help frowning, and said with an unhappy face: "Although the Takeda family has declined. But the heritage is still there. You have never been on the battlefield. How to lead alone? ”

"Father, did you lead the army alone before you defected to the main hall?" Takayama Nobukatsu asked as he met the gaze of the Takayama clan.

This sentence really asked the clan, before he defected to Oda, he was still in the modern era, how could he have led the army, at most, he commanded more than a dozen people when he was fighting in a group, and these people didn't listen to it much. But I can say yes with a clear conscience, well. No, I'm afraid this kid is waiting here, okay, you said yes, then you said which battle......

After thinking about it secretly, the clan had no choice but to put on a parent's style and reprimanded: "Nonsense! Don't quit yet! ”

The dialogue between Gao Shan's father and son all fell into the eyes of the retainers, and although the young master was young, he looked at the style and had the shadow of the lord, which made them feel very gratified. After all, no matter how big the family business is, if the heir is unbearable. Then in this troubled world, defeat is not far away. This is true of Imagawa, this is true of Saito, and the same is true of Takeda.

What Takayama Nobukatsu is most afraid of is that his father will use his identity to oppress people, so he really has nothing to say. But what people didn't expect was that they saw Sanada Masayuki, who had always been cautious, walking quickly to the middle and paying homage.

"What do you mean?"

"The lord is lucky, the Gao Shan family is lucky!"

"Huh?"

"My lord, the soldiers of the main hall pointed out, all of them were conquered, one is by virtue of the Oda family's elite in a hundred battles, but there is a big reason why there is no successor to the destroyed families. And the young master of this family is only thirteen years old, but he has such courage, isn't this worthy of congratulations from his subordinates? ”

Sanada Masayuki's voice fell, and he saw that the retainers present all saluted and said, "Congratulations to the lord." ”

Seeing his retainers like this, Takayama Nobukatsu didn't know what to do, he didn't worship, he didn't worship.

The reason why the clan didn't let Takayama Nobukatsu lead the troops alone was not because he was afraid of any danger to it, and the soldiers were also major events in the country, but it was child's play, once it encountered danger, it would not be fun.

However, the clan thought about it, if the child is always under his own protection, how can he grow up, although he is confident that he will calm the world in his lifetime, but if he fails to gain enough prestige before pacifying the world, how can he directly make his retainers like an arm and govern the world.

Thinking of this, he only heard the clan say: "Takayama Nobukatsu, I order you to form an army of your own and complete the battle, but if you can't satisfy me, you will be disqualified from participating in the battle immediately." ”

After hearing this, Takayama Nobukatsu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you father, the child will not let his father down." However, I don't know which army the father will give the child to take for the time being. ”

"I am willing to follow the young master." Yamanaka Kanosuke, Maeda Keiji and others hurriedly said, and Wind Demon Kotaro also said after hesitating for a moment. Because their identity is not enough, it is obviously impossible to lead the troops to fight alone, rather than following Maeda Toshiya and others, it is better to follow the young master.

However, the clan has already made up his mind to try Takayama Shinkatsu's ability, so he will not provide any convenience, not only will it not provide convenience, but he will also have to set up cards everywhere, whether it is a dragon or a worm, but it all depends on him.

I saw that the clan sect waved his hand and said: "This time, the family wants to take all the South Shinano, you and others are the main battle force of the family, and you must not lose the big because of the small, there is no need to say it again." ”

After speaking, the clan looked at Takayama Nobukatsu and said, "This family has no troops for you to command for the time being, you can recruit by yourself." ”

"Father! The child ......" Takayama Nobukatsu couldn't help but be anxious after hearing this, although he thought that he was no worse than his retainers in military strategy, and even sometimes when he was arguing with the military advisor, he could refute the military division speechlessly, but if he didn't have a soldier in his hand, then no matter how capable he was, it would be useless.

"Hmph, there is no need to say it again, since you know the previous achievements of Lu Dao as your father, then you must know that Lu Dao, in the first battle of the barrel narrow, his father won three cities and eight mountains in a row without soldiers and generals, and now, when you encounter small difficulties, if you can't overcome them, what else do you talk about leading the army to fight."

"This..."If it weren't for so many people, Takayama Nobukatsu would have to smack a few big mouths, if he didn't mention his father's past, I'm afraid my father wouldn't be able to think of carrying a bucket to fight in a narrow room. But what my father said is also right, the current situation of the family is much stronger than the Oda family back then, if this little thing can't be done, then how can I make a difference in the future.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, the clan couldn't force his son to take risks, so he continued: "In this way, I will provide you with a thousand kan to recruit Ashigaru, but whether you can form an army before going out is up to you." ”

After speaking, he said to Kagawa Chuji: "As many people as Shinkatsu recruits, give him as many armor and weapons as he wants." ”

"It's the lord."

"Thank you, father."

The arrangement has been completed, and now everyone is just waiting for the lord to set a date for the expedition, but what is unexpected is that the lord does not plan to go on the expedition immediately, and he does not even set a date, but just lets himself and others prepare for the battle, that's all, which makes all the retainers present completely unknown what medicine the lord of the road bought in the gourd.
