Chapter 202 is fundamental

Asai Nagamasa was about to open his mouth to agree, but after thinking about it, if the Oda army was put into Kita-Omi and the other party took this opportunity to take away the foundation of my Asai family, then how should I deal with it? Even if he didn't put the Oda army into his territory, he couldn't guarantee that he would be undefeated, but once he entered Kita-Omi and turned against himself, the family would not be far from destruction.

Moreover, maybe now Oda Nobunaga really didn't want to seize the inheritance of his family, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not think about anything else after leaving the army, thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately he saw things quickly, otherwise he would have fallen for the other party's plan to destroy the enemy.

I only heard Asai Nagamasa speak: "Although Lord Takayama's plan can quickly let Nagamasa take the initiative in the family, but, after all, those retainers in the family were born and died for the Asai family before, although they are a little proud of their merits now, but after all, they are also meritorious ministers, if they are directly produced, it will be too unkind, and in the future, the Asai family will be in danger, who else is willing to do their best?" ”

The clan has already seen that Asai Nagamasa's worries If he persuades him again, it will be a little inappropriate, anyway, this is his Asai family's business, Lao Tzu just has to come up with an idea, as for disagreeing, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu, since you don't agree, then just leave it at that.

I only heard the clan sect speak: "Since the main hall feels that this emergency policy is inappropriate, then there is only that plan left." ”

"I would like to hear the details, and please ask Tayama-sama to speak clearly."

"As for the strategy...... The hall can be selected among the many wealthy warriors in the family, as the object of wooing, let them grow some sweetness first, if this is the case a few times, how can other wealthy warriors be willing, they will definitely want to get this part of the benefits, but those who have tasted the sweetness, how can they have already received the benefits, or may belong to their own interests in the future, easily let others, so that there will inevitably be contradictions between them, in this way, it plays a role in differentiation, and the hall can sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and win over a part of the wealthy family, I believe that it will not be long before they will make a big move for the sake of profit.

At that time, the main hall will justifiably go out to quell the chaos and seize the land of the two families, and it will only take a few years for the main hall to wipe out most of the wealthy families in the family, so who else in the Asai family dares not to obey the orders of the main hall? ”

"Good plan" Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but admire, although it seems that if you want to really implement this strategy, it will be more troublesome than the other two strategies, but if it is successful, not only will you say it at home, but because you are acting upright, you are not afraid of incurring a backlash from your retainers.

Thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and only heard him say gratefully: "Lord Takayama, after returning to Kotani Castle, Nagamasa will be grateful." ”

Although the clan admits that he is a little mercenary, but this time he only hopes that when Asai Nagamasa chooses to take sides, he can overcome all difficulties and unswervingly stand on the side of the Oda family, if not, then the clan thinks that he has already done what he should do, even if Asai Nagamasa still betrays the Oda family, then he has no regrets.

And now there are still a few years before Kanegasaki's retreat, and with Asai Nagamasa's talent, he should be able to regain the power of the Asai family before then, and at that time, with his feelings for Aichi and his fear of the Oda family, he should know how to choose. I have paved the road for him, but it is up to him to see if he can walk on his own.

Just when the clan and Asai Nagamasa had their own ideas, suddenly a fast horse galloped in front of him, and when he came closer, the clan and Asai Nagamasa couldn't help frowning, only to see that this ashigaru was carrying the Asai family Sansheng tortoiseshell flower rhombic family pattern on his back, and the catastrophe on his body had been dyed red with blood.

Before the ashigaru came closer, he turned over and dismounted, ran a few steps, came to Asai Nagamasa, and reported loudly: "Report, lord, Watanabe and Kusaka-sama led Ashigaru was desperately resisted by Ryurui Temple Castle, and was besieged by the surrounding wealthy clans. ”

After listening to this, Asai Nagamasa felt a little incredible, the strength of the Hexagonal family army was obviously demoralized yesterday, but it had only been less than a day, how could it have exploded with such combat power?

Besides, even if it exerts ten percent of its combat power, it is definitely not the opponent of the flag under his command, what is the problem? ,

The reason why the Hexagonal family was able to defeat the Asai Army, in fact, is not unusual, when the Roxagonal family attacked other forces, the retainers under their command in order to preserve their strength, they could not contribute to the work, but now it is related to the survival of the family, how can they be perfunctory, even if the army under their command is not as strong as the elite of the Asai Army, but under the desperate death, there is a city as a support, and there are surrounding wealthy families to lead the army to support, it is not difficult to hold the city.

Not long after Asai Nagamasa received this defeat report, there was another ashigaru who brought back the defeat report of the army led by the wealthy family of the family, and Asai Nagamasa saw that the attack of the two armies was not smooth, so he already knew that it was impossible to capture Minami Omi in a short period of time, and the army of the family came to rescue Sawa Yamashiro this time, so the preparation was not sufficient, and the grain and grass brought could also be tightly supported by the army for ten days, if the attack went well, it could be supplemented along the way, but now, as soon as the attack was met with strong resistance from the Rokkaku, If it goes on like this, the grain and grass brought with it will not be able to keep up with the consumption of the army, and although the defeat is difficult to accept, it is also helpless.

After careful consideration, Asai Nagamasa finally decided to lead his army back to Kita-Omi first, and after the matter of the family's retainers and wealthy families was settled, he would have a duel with the Rokkaku family. In this way, the benefits of the attack on Minami Omi do not need to be distributed to the retainers of the family.

Thinking of this, he heard Asai Nagamasa speak: "Give the two armies an order to return with their troops immediately." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates are ......"

"Wait" Before the two ashigaru who came to report finished speaking, they heard the clan sect quickly interrupt.

Seeing that the clan had something to say, Asai Nagamasa waved his hand at the two Ashichi who were about to go to give the order, and after they retreated, he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Takayama, please have something to say." Now Asai Nagamasa has sincerely admired the wisdom of the clan, so even if he interrupts it, Asai Nagamasa is not displeased in the slightest, if it is someone else, there will be no such treatment.

I only heard the clan say: "Back to the Asai Palace, this place is not far from the Mekada Town, and the scale of this town has exceeded the Imahama Town under the rule of the main hall, and he is an important economic source for the Rokkaku family, if the main hall will capture the Mekada Town, not only can increase the military expenses of the Asai family to help, but the main hall itself has been improved, and at the same time, it can also be used to weaken the strength of the Rokkaku family, so according to the next opinion, the military should also be concentrated, and after the capture of the Mekada Town, it is not too late to return to the army." This is only a foolish opinion in the next place, and please ask the hall to decide. ”

After listening to this, Asai Nagamasa also felt that what the clan said was very reasonable, although the land occupied by Kada Town was not very vast, but he knew its importance, if he could win this town and firmly control it, then it was much more important than obtaining a 100,000 stone territory, although it was impossible for this Kada Town to want to be able to mobilize a large number of troops in other places in the territory, but he could get a large amount of taxes from here every year, and this money was enough for him to fully mobilize the ashigaru in the territory, just this, He already has the capital to compete with his retainers and wealthy clans, if he cooperates with the strategy of the Gaoshan clan to deal with them, it will not take a few years for him to take over the dominance of the family, and even if the wealthy clans unite, he has the certainty of exterminating them.

The more Asai Nagamasa thought about it, the more excited he became, and it wouldn't be long before he finally didn't have to be a man with his tail between his legs. Thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa looked at the Takayama clan with gratitude for the first time, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid it would be decades before he could reorganize the family, and when he returned to Kotani Castle, he would definitely thank him again.

Asai Nagamasa no longer hesitated, and hurriedly commanded: "Someone is coming"

As soon as his voice fell, he saw a close attendant running up to him, kneeling on the ground, and said respectfully: "My subordinates are here, please give orders to the lord." ”

I only heard Asai Nagamasa's faint order: "Well, immediately give Watanabe Ren an order to give up the attack and come to join me." ”

If Watanabe Ren leads the army to come, then he will have nearly 5,000 troops under his command, and with these 5,000 elite banners, it should not be a surprise if he wants to capture Mekada Castle and capture Mekada Town.

As for the strength of the two thousand wealthy clans under his command, Asai Nagamasa didn't want to take them with him at all, and he didn't have to worry about them fighting to the end with the Rokkaku family, the strength of those wealthy clans under his command was actually no different from the wealthy clans in other places, if the attack was smooth, they would not hesitate to swarm them, but if the attack met resistance, in order to preserve their strength, even if Asai Nagamasa didn't give an order, they would retreat on their own, and there was no need to worry at all.

Half a day later, Watanabe Ren and Hidekatsu Kazaka led the remaining more than 1,800 flags to appear in front of Asai Nagamasa, Asai Nagamasa saw that these more than 1,800 flags, all of them showed tiredness, and it was getting late now, so he did not arbitrarily give an order to launch an attack on Mekada Castle, and the current place is not far from Sawa Mountain Castle, so Asai Nagamasa decided to walk a few more miles and return to Sawa Mountain Castle to rest, so that the army under his command does not have to sleep in the open. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the enemy sending troops to sneak attack.

The clan has been watching from the sidelines, Asai Nagamasa is really not ordinarily good to the ashigaru under his command, it is almost to the point of loving soldiers like a son, in this era, in the eyes of most people, Ashigaru is just a consumable for samurai to obtain identity and territory, few people will think about these lowly status, Ashigaru may die at any time, Clan Zong thinks that he has a good enough for Ashigaru, but if he compares with Asai Nagamasa, there is still a big gap, which makes him have to feel a little admired.
