Chapter 778: The Partition Conference

"My lord, my subordinates think that although Takayama-sama is outstandingly intelligent and the Takayama army is extremely elite, Hojo has been based in Kanto for nearly two hundred years, and the total stone height is nearly three million stones, but the battle army is no less than 50,000, and although Takayama-sama owns most of the land of Hida and Shinano, it is also far from Hojo, and it is really difficult to eliminate Hojo, so please ask the lord to decide." Murai Sadakatsu couldn't help but hurriedly speak.

"My lord, what Murai said is reasonable, if you want to destroy Hojo, it can't be done overnight, and your subordinates think that this matter needs to be considered in the long run." I only heard Akechi Mitsuhide also speak.

"Humph! Shut up, do you think it's worth building a legion for the sake of the Takeda clan, which has become a dead bone in the grave? I only heard Nobunaga say slightly angrily.

After speaking, I saw him look at the clan and said, "Senbei, I'll give you five years to eliminate Hojo, if not, then you can retire in Hida Shinano." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey orders, but if we want to destroy Hojo, we still need help, and I ask the lord to decide." Seeing that Nobunaga has made up his mind, I'm afraid it's useless to say anything more, and maybe Nobunaga is really angry and may not be able to let himself retire, if so, it will be a bit more than worth the loss, since it can't be changed, then I can only ask him for more benefits. And the clan has already figured it out, and it is indeed a bit unrealistic to want to eliminate Hojo with his current power, but it shouldn't be a problem to capture Ueno in five years, and he won't be too reproachful compared to Nobunaga at that time.

After hearing what the clan clan said, Nobunaga's anger disappeared completely, and he only heard him say, "Well, I can order someone to inform the Tokugawa family." Fully cooperate with you when carrying out the Hojo Raiders. With the help of the Tokugawa family. It is expected that it will not be difficult to eliminate Hojo in five years. ”

Of course, Nobunaga knew about the contradiction between the Takayama clan and the Tokugawa family, and the reason why he did this was because he received news not long ago that the Takayama clan had reconciled with the Tokugawa family, and the clan clan was also very sincere to give up Kai and hand it over to the Tokugawa family to capture, but this Tokugawa Ieyasu was too wasteful, and the Takeda family was so dilapidated that he hadn't been able to take Kai yet. But this is not a big deal, as long as the two families are repaired, then it is extremely beneficial to carry out the Kanto strategy, so Nobunaga did not hesitate to say this idea.

And Nobunaga's decision to let the clan attack Kanto was also based on the reconciliation between the two families, if he knew that everything was a trick of the clan, I'm afraid he wouldn't have made such an arrangement.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know who provided the information to Oda Nobunaga, the clan really wanted to pull it out and give it a beating, if it was said that in wartime, it was understandable that he didn't see that he assassinated Tokugawa, but after the war, everything was already clear. A discerning person can see at a glance that this is a plan to compete with the sandpiper mussel made by himself, and he even dares to say to Nobunaga that he has reconciled with Tokugawa. Isn't this pushing Lao Tzu into the fire pit?

If you really agree to let Tokugawa help, let alone five years, I'm afraid you won't even think about taking Kanto in fifty years.

So I only heard the clan sect hurriedly say: "Lord, it's just a little Hojo, if you let others help, won't your family be ridiculed by others, so I ask my lord to take back his life." After all, the Hojo family has been inherited for more than 200 years, and it is deeply rooted in the Kanto region, and there are hundreds of retainers, and then look at the subordinates, they can't get Hida and newly captured a part of Shinano's land, and the retainers under their command are not only small in number, but also not many can conquer the daring to fight, so I also ask the lord to send and force to help his subordinates. ”

What the clan said was not unreasonable, and the first sentence made Nobunaga feel happy, with the current power of the family to seize the world, why do you need others to help, so the clan's quiet sycophant can be regarded as completely comfortable with Nobunaga, as long as Nobunaga is happy, then things will be much easier.

And Nobunaga also knew that it would be difficult to capture Kanto with Senbei alone, so he had planned to send some retainers to help, but now that he had brought it up first, he would simply let him pick it himself, so if he couldn't capture it in five years, then he wouldn't be to blame me.

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga say, "What you said is reasonable, and in that case, I wish you a helping hand, and whoever you want to speak." ”

The clan couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, what he was most afraid of was that Nobunaga would assign a few garbage goods to himself at will, even if he could have one or two of the ones he wanted, but it didn't mean much, and this time was probably the only time he could get a large number of retainers from the Oda family, if he missed it, once the Oda family changed in the future, then although the clan was confident, it was impossible to pocket them all. In the eyes of Oda Nobunaga, this evaluation meeting is a meeting to divide the world, and in the eyes of the clan, it is not a meeting to divide up the retainers of the Oda family.

Since Nobunaga let himself choose, there is no need to be polite to him, after Nobunaga finished speaking, the clan did not directly ask for people, but quickly thought about it, the clan thought of the power that Oda Nobunaga sent to the various legions, in addition to Oda Nobunaga more people, Shibata Katsuya got seven people, and the remaining legions are all five, and even if he speaks himself, I am afraid that he can get up to ten people and power, and this is where the clan is most entangled, it can be said that he wants too many people, Especially those who are younger samurai, or those who are older but have first-class samurai in their younger generations, these people will be the hope of the Takayama family in the future. For example, like Keer Caizang and Tomita Shigemasa, these two are not very old, when they can definitely be called the fierce generals of the world, Keer only hides the true inheritance of the treasure house Yinrong, and Tomita Shigemasa is the adopted son of Tomita Jingzheng's son-in-law, and his martial arts are a must, if he misses it this time, he may regret it for the rest of his life.

In addition, to Hasegawa Shuichi, Muto Shunhide, these are capable but not valued in the Oda family, and the samurai who are good friends with him can't do without it.

In addition, samurai like Hosokawa Fujitaka and Murai Sadakatsu who have always wanted to get it must not be let go.

And then there is Lin Tongzheng, a samurai who has some kinship with him, but the ending is not too good, and he can't let them fend for themselves.

There are also talents that I need now, such as Genhachiro Yoshida and Masuda Nagamori. At present, there is only one person in the Takayama family who uses a bow master, and the bow team has not found a suitable deputy commander, with the increase in the number of bow teams, due to the inconvenience of command, then the combat power has not only not improved, but has declined, and Yoshida Genhachiro, although young but known as an archery master, is just a light head in the Oda family at the moment, and it is definitely the best time to bring him to his side, and it is also necessary. Masuda Nagamori's ability in internal affairs is not said.,But because he joined the Oda family for a short time.,The ability hasn't been discovered yet.,So the identity is not even a light head.,It's just a general pursuit.,Don't recruit at this time.。

The clan clan counted casually, and even he was startled, if he wanted to make merits, he needed at least fifty people, although among the nearly a thousand retainers of the Oda family, this was nothing, but the problem was that the fifty people he wanted were not the role of a cat or a dog, although he had not yet come out, but he already had some reputation, not to mention first-class samurai such as Hosokawa Fujitaka and Murai Sadakatsu, who were already known to the world. If he really said this list, maybe Nobunaga would not give any of them in a fit of anger, if this is the case, it will be a big loss, thinking of this, the clan has to reduce the list of psychology, until the pain is reduced to ten, then he speaks.

I only heard the clan said: "The lord, the subordinates are brave, please send Hosokawa Fujitaka, Murai Sadakatsu, Masuda Nagamori, Yoshida Genhachiro, Keer Caizo, Tomita Shigemasa, Hasegawa Shuichi, Muto Shunhide, Hayashi Tongmasa, and Naomasa Tsukasa to help." ”

Nobunaga's bottom line is to send ten people, but there are no Murai Sadakatsu and Hosokawa Fujitaka among the ten retainers in Nobunaga's heart, after all, although he is not good at martial arts, he is definitely a good hand in internal affairs, and now his family's territory is governed in an orderly manner, which is absolutely inseparable from the ability of the two of them, so Nobunaga was also a little hesitant for a while.

I said a lot of things just now, if I don't agree at this moment, I won't seem stingy.

However, Nobunaga still plans to give it a try, if he can keep these two people is the best, if not, there are so many retainers in this family, will the two of them be in trouble without him?

Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga speak: "Senbei, I ordered you to attack Hojo, why don't you choose the samurai who can fight well, but choose Hosokawa Fujitaka and Murai Sadakatsu, who are good at internal affairs." ”

"Back to the lord, the subordinates think that although the attack on Hojo seems to have nothing to do with internal affairs, but in fact it has a lot to do with it, if the territory is not developed, how to recruit more ashigaru, how to gather more food and grass, especially the subordinates have just captured Shinano, the territory is unstable, if there is a lack of effective management, then once the subordinates lead the army out of battle, the territory is really worrying, and the subordinates also need to be able to manage after taking all the Kanto, so they will openly ask the lord Hosokawa and Murai to help, and ask the lord to agree."

Nobunaga couldn't help but nod after hearing this, the reason for Senbei's words was still very sufficient, so he only heard him speak: "Okay, I'll send these ten people to help you, and I'll go to see if you can take it or not." ”

"Thank you to the lord, my subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord."

"Where is the wise Mitsuhide!"

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he heard the lord shouting his name, but he immediately began to get excited, could it be that he had entered the eyes of the lord, and he was also appointed as the commander of the legion?
