Nakamura Hideyoshi, or Kinoshita Hideyoshi, had already joined the Oda family at this time and became a "little man" who served Oda Nobunaga.

Previously, Nakamura Hideyoshi worked for Matsunoshita Tsunade of Togae Totoji Castle, and got the preference of Matsushita Tsunada, and became a "boy" before being accepted by Matsushita Tsunada. After that, Matsushita no Tsunade taught Nakamura Hideyoshi the art of war and gunmanship.

However, Nakamura Hideyoshi is only a "temple attendant" under Matsushita no Tsunada, a position somewhat similar to "temple security", and his status is only a little higher than that of ordinary monks, but it is far less noble than the status of a samurai. Nakamura Hideyoshi, who had always dreamed of getting ahead, finally chose to leave Matsushita and seek another job.

During this period, Nakamura Hideyoshi went to his distant aunt Itsu and his father Seibei, and lived by selling needles from Seibei's forge house. At this time, Nakamura Hideyoshi felt that life was not easy, so he returned to Owari in frustration, preparing to inherit the family's more than a dozen anti-land.

This is the difference from other rich and handsome!

If you are a young man who was born as a samurai, and after traveling abroad, you feel that you can't get ahead on your own, so you can only return home to inherit the family governor, or the land of knowledge and practice of hundreds or thousands of stones. And Nakamura Hideyoshi can only go home to be a bitter farmer, watching other officials of the second generation and the rich second generation pretend to be B sisters.

As soon as he returned to Owari, Nakamura Hideyoshi learned that Oda Nobunaga, the head of the Oda family, had defeated the Suruga Imagawa family (the Muraki battle was actually fought by only three or four thousand people). Nakamura Hideyoshi felt that Oda Nobunaga was the Ming Jun he longed for, so he immediately ran to Kiyosu Castle to prepare for Oda Nobunaga.

But after arriving at Qingzhou City, the people of the Oda family asked about their identity, okay, the eighteenth generation was a farmer with good roots. Then what else is it a**?

So Nakamura Hideyoshi gloriously became a "little man" of the Oda family, and he was almost numbered "9527".

......

Returning to his small dilapidated house with a tired face, Nakamura Hideyoshi had long since lost the smile he had faced the samurai of the Oda family during the day. Looking at the pair of straw sandals placed at the door, Nakamura Hideyoshi had a bitter face.

"I thought I would be able to become a samurai with my own skills after leaving the Oda family, but after more than a year, I was still a "straw mecium"!"

"Alas, it's a pity that I was too young at the beginning, and I didn't know the true face of Lushan, so I missed the personal solicitation of the head of the Jinchuan family! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm already in Kyoto at this time, participating in this Joraku, right? Half-leaning against the door, Nakamura Hideyoshi looked in the direction of Kyoto with emotion.

On his way back from Tsugawa Soji Kamiraku, he passed by Mikawa Honshoji Temple, where he met Nakamura Hideyoshi, who was still a novice. After learning the identity of Nakamura Hideyoshi, Tsugawa Soji immediately threw an olive branch to Nakamura Hideyoshi, but Nakamura Hideyoshi was just a country boy who had just come out of the countryside at that time. didn't know what kind of NB the Tsugawa family existed, and he didn't know what kind of opportunity was in front of him, so Nakamura Hideyoshi made what he thought was the right choice.

And now, Nakamura Hideyoshi can't help but want to give himself a mouthful!

"The weather seems to be getting cooler, and it's time for me to buy some new clothes!" Feeling the coolness coming from his toes, Hideyoshi Nakamura muttered quietly while rubbing his feet with his hands.

Just as Nakamura Hideyoshi was happily in front of the "big man who picks his feet", the corner of his eye swept to the pair of straw sandals placed aside.

Suddenly, Hideyoshi Nakamura suddenly understood something in general. At this moment, Nakamura Hideyoshi felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, and the position of a samurai, which was unattainable in the past, seemed to be only one step away from him.

At this moment, Hideyoshi Nakamura made a decision!

Half an hour later, a new pair of straw sandals was born in the hands of Hideyoshi Nakamura. Looking up at the sky, Nakamura Hideyoshi knew that according to custom, Oda Nobunaga would have to get up at night in another hour.

"My future is all on these straw sandals!" After saying that, Nakamura Hideyoshi placed the straw sandals in his arms, and he didn't know what he was thinking with his eyes closed.....

......

Oda Nobunaga actually didn't sleep all night, and the light clouds and breezes of the day were always pretended. At this moment, Oda Nobunaga lit an oil lamp and lay on a map and kept thinking about something.

"According to the strength of the family, it can block the Imagawa family for a month at most! On the Mino side, Saito Yoshiryu and Michizo are opposed, and the reinforcements on this side are negligible! ”

"On the Mizuno family's side, I'm afraid that at this time, I'm still trembling at the feet of Daisuke Imagawa Jibe, so that the two reinforcements of the family will not be able to participate in the battle! Besides, I have to guard against any changes on the side of Iwakura Castle, how can I encounter this mess of messes! Oda Nobunaga clasped his head, full of sorrow.

With an empty sake jug on the floor beside him, Oda Nobunaga suddenly felt a urge to urinate. Having grabbed a winter coat and put it on, Oda Nobunaga walked out of the room barefoot.

"The weather has turned cold unconsciously, it's really cold!" The wind is blowing at night, bringing a chill to this autumn and winter season.

"Vultures! Where's my shoes? Oda Nobunaga rubbed his left foot with his right foot and yelled at the samurai longhouse not far away.

As soon as the words fell, Nakamura Hideyoshi hurriedly ran out, half-kneeling on the ground and putting on straw sandals for Oda Nobunaga.

Feeling the temperature coming from the straw sandals, Oda Nobunaga was satisfied and casually asked, "Why is there still residual warmth in these shoes?" ”

"This is the warmth of the villain's body!"

"Good!" Oda Nobunaga was very happy, took out a few copper coins from his arms and handed them to Nakamura Hideyoshi, "I know everything about your dedication, these are rewards!" ”

Oda Nobunaga will not be impressed by Nakamura Hideyoshi just because Nakamura Hideyoshi warmed his straw sandals, and he can reward a few copper coins, which is just an impulse to drink too much wine.

"The lord seems to have drunk a lot of wine today, isn't there something annoying, you might as well say it and listen to the villain, maybe the villain can make the lord open up?" Nakamura Hideyoshi whispered while helping the slightly drunk Oda Nobunaga to the latrine.

Oda Nobunaga said disapprehantly, "You vulture, what do you know!" ”

"Don't underestimate the lord, the Tsugawa Hall was also impressed by the villain!"

"Oh? Tell me..."

“......”

......

"I didn't expect you to have such an experience, I really can't see it!" After the small explanation, Oda Nobunaga actually pulled Nakamura Hideyoshi to sit in the courtyard and chatted together, which flattered Nakamura Hideyoshi for a while.

This is a great opportunity to get close to Oda Nobunaga!

"In this way, the Tsugawa Hall can recognize your talents, but I can't, am I really inferior to the Tsugawa Palace?"

"Uh.... It's not like that, it's just that the villain is usually not good at words, so that the lord never notices the villain! ”

"Hmm... So tell me, how should the Imagawa family deal with the current pressure of the Imagawa family's army? ”

"There are only three possibilities for fewer enemies! One is to ask for reinforcements to make up for the disadvantage in the strength of the family! The second is to communicate with the enemy's generals, causing instability within the enemy's army and waiting for an opportunity to break the enemy! Third, it is to appear at the right time and in the right position to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy's main formation! Looking at Oda Nobunaga beside him, Nakamura Hideyoshi had no stage fright, and actually said a lot of words.

And Oda Nobunaga's face became more and more solemn, and there were some different things in his eyes when he looked at Nakamura Hideyoshi....

The bigwigs of that thing must also know that it is the basic situation....... Ahh
