The next day, Nobunaga recruited his family's important ministers early in the morning, except for Shibata Katsuie, the lord of Chokoji Castle who guarded the southern general, Takigawa Kazuyoshi, who was monitoring the Kobe and Kitabatake families in Ise, and the Takayama clan of Kyoto.

"The lord has arrived!" With a shout from the attendants, Nobunaga walked out of the inner room, and after he sat down, he didn't say anything, but motioned to Hasegawa Shuichi to pass the information collected by the Takayama clan to his retainers.

And when the important ministers present saw it, they all felt indignant, the family for the Ashikaga family to restore the family name can be said to be a heavy loss, and after helping him restore the family name, the lord is not greedy for power, not only refused to share the military and political affairs with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but also refused to even the deputy general and other high-ranking officials, it can be said that the family for the Ashikaga family to restore the family name did nothing.

But Ashikaga Yoshiaki this person, not only does not know the entu, but also secretly contacts the world's various forces, ready to besiege the family, if it really happens, the family will die and I will be buried, this Ashikaga Yoshiaki is so ungrateful, the strength of the family has now recovered most of it, and it must not be tolerated.

After the codex returned to Hasegawa Shu's hand, he only heard Sakuma Nobumori speak: "My lord, this Ashikaga Yoshiaki is too deceitful, and his subordinates are willing to lead the army to fight against him, so as to deter Xiaoxiao, and ask the lord to decide." ”

Nobunaga didn't speak after listening to it, obviously he didn't agree with his idea very much, and even a little annoyed, Sakuma Nobukatsu is already a lot older, how to do things are still so frizzy, the original family territory is small, the strength is weak, so you don't have to worry too much, after all, the main task at that time was to expand.

But now it's different, the trend of the family winning the world has basically taken shape, if there is still no overall situation, then even if it wins the world, it will not last long, it seems that many old ministers in the family have been unable to keep up with the pace of the development of the family. In a blink of an eye, Nobunaga had already made an unbearable comment to Sakuma Nobumori in his heart, and if he couldn't change it in time, then he would only be marginalized. Let a capable retainer take his place.

In Oda's house, Hayashi Tongkatsu's ability to check words and emotions is unmatched, and after Sakuma Nobumori finished speaking, he saw a trace of displeasure in the eyes of the lord, so he thought that the lord did not want to, or did not want to be an enemy of the Ashikaga family for the time being. But think about it, it's just that the Ashikaga family gathers a few weak forces, but the codex says that he wants to attack the Oda family with Takeda, Uesugi, Maori and other general trends, and Maoli, Uesugi and other forces do not border the main family. For the time being, there is no need to worry too much, and although the Takeda family is the same, it is now taking away Enoe Suruga. Although there is Tokugawa in the east, he can block it for a long time, and Takeda Shingen has already had the heart of Shangluo, if he leads the army to attack, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, I heard him hurriedly speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that after several wars, what the family needs most now is to recuperate, and the reason why the Ashikaga family can restore the old collar." It's all the work of the family, even if there is some misunderstanding at the moment, it's not an irreconcilable situation, so, according to the opinion of the subordinates, it's better to send one person to Nijo Castle. Explain clearly to the general, clear up misunderstandings, as long as you show enough sincerity, then your subordinates think that the general will definitely change their minds, this is the foolish opinion of the subordinates, and please make a decision. ”

If it was said that when Sakuma Nobumori finished speaking, there were still many retainers who nodded, then when Lin Tongsheng finished speaking, there was only a boo.

The reason why the lord agreed to help the Ashikaga family in the first place was not because he took this opportunity to expand and improve his prestige with the help of this matter, but it was just a simple use, and he didn't really want the Ashikaga family to command the world again, otherwise how should the general policy of the world's Bubu be completed. …,

If the Ashikaga family is honest, the lord may still give him a chance to survive, and now since he is not willing to be lonely, then it just gives the family a chance to put an end to future troubles, this battle is definitely going to be fought, but how to fight, in order to minimize the negative impact, the lessons of the Miyoshi family, how can the family not repeat the mistakes of the past.

And Lin Tongsheng, as the first important minister of his family, is an old man with a pen, and he can't see the key to it, and he is trying to compromise with the general's family, is he really confused?

Lin Tongsheng didn't know what to say, because of the matter of the Gaoshan clan back then, the retainers already had a great opinion of him, and now the dissatisfaction has deepened a step, so after he finished speaking, he felt regretful.

Nobunaga, who was sitting on the throne, was even more sneered at these words. "According to your meaning, should this family be submissive to the Ashikaga family?"

Although Nobunaga changed his previous style and did not open his mouth to scold, but the power of this sentence is several times greater, although it is not yet summer, but Lin Tongsheng's head is already sweating.

"Lord, his subordinates know their mistakes, their subordinates are confused, and I ask the lord to explain their crimes." Lin Tongsheng hurriedly said.

"Since you're old and confused, why are you staying here, get out of the way for me, and you don't have to come here in the future."

"My lord, my subordinates... Subordinate......"

"Get out!" Nobunaga unceremoniously blasted him out.

As soon as Lin Tongsheng stood up, Nobunaga said: "Deprive Lin Tongsheng of the position of the elder of the pen family." The weather is in effect on the same day. ”

Lin Tongsheng stopped suddenly, this news was like a bolt from the blue to him, his efforts in half his life were completely ruined at this moment, and now he only felt dizzy, and just turned around to defend himself, but he didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.

Seeing Lin Tongsheng being taken out of the house by the close attendants, the retainers didn't react much, and no one helped him intercede, even Niwa Nagahide swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, for the family, Lin Tongsheng is indeed no longer suitable as the head of the retainers, and for such an outdated character, the best ending is to slowly fade out of people's sight.

After settling the matter of Hayashi Tongkatsu, Nobunaga spoke again, "Do you have any different opinions? ”

"Lord, my subordinates think that if you go directly to the army, then it will be no different from the Miyoshi family, but if you let the Miyoshi family act first, the family can only be regarded as self-preservation, which should minimize the impact of the side side, and the family is currently sitting on the land of two million stones, even if someone corresponds to the Ashikaga family, you have to weigh whether you have this strength, this is... This is the opinion of the subordinates, and I ask the Lord to decide. ”

Don't look at Kinoshita Toyoshiro's vulgar words, but they are exactly what Nobunaga wants, and he thinks that even if the power in the information sent by the clan agrees to participate in the siege of his own family, he should not be too afraid.

The strength of each family is different, the distance is different, and the coordination is impossible to talk about, and it is even more impossible to go out for the Ashikaga family, want to go out together, attack the family from all directions There is no such possibility, then the family only needs to be thunderous and annihilate the Ashikaga family in one fell swoop, after that, as long as someone comes forward, they will be defeated with all their might, so who will really be the enemy of the family for a force that has perished? He couldn't think of anything other than the Takeda family.

Thinking of this, I saw Nobunaga nodding and said with satisfaction: "Although the monkey's words are vulgar, it is a feasible strategy, but how to let the Ashikaga family strike first?" ”

"This ...... Please forgive the lord, the subordinates have not thought of it in a hurry. Kinoshita Toyoshiro was already very satisfied that he could come up with so much, so he didn't bother him anymore.

But after hearing this, the retainers couldn't help but suddenly open their minds, yes, as long as the Ashikaga family does it first, won't everything be solved? …,

Although it will also make it perish, but this is much less than the impact of murdering the general, I didn't expect such a simple truth to make the monkey think first, fortunately he just had an idea, otherwise the credit would have fallen on him.

Thinking of this, the retainers didn't have time to think about anything else, so they hurriedly began to think about it along this line of thought.

Murai Makatsu, who was sitting at the back of the assessment room, couldn't help but think that Ashikaga Yoshiaki had no ability, but he was extremely ambitious, and the more he oppressed such a person, the more he would resist, and when the anger in his heart accumulated to a certain extent, when it broke out, it would be the day when his family would go out of the army, and with Ashikaga Yoshiaki's character, I am afraid that as long as it is implemented, it will not be long before Ashikaga Yoshiaki will be compliant.

As his status grew, so did Murai Shinkatsu's potential, and he has now grown up from a small priesthood in the Oda family.

After careful consideration, I only heard him speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is a person...... If its power can be limited, then in a fit of rage, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will inevitably take action.

And in this way, the requirements of the lord can be met, which is the humble opinion of the subordinates, and the lord is also invited to decide. ”

"Okay, good way, I'll leave this matter to you, I'll give you three days, be sure to write a charter." "It's the lord, but the subordinates still have something to do."

"Say." "The lord is currently in Kyoto, although his command is all elite, but after all, there are only 1,300 people, although it seems to be enough to deal with the Ashikaga family, but as far as his subordinates know, the temples in Yamashiro Kunichu seem to have some friendship with the Ashikaga family, in case he is allowed to encircle those monks, then the strength of more than 1,000 troops will be a little thin."

Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew that Murai Sadakatsu hoped to send troops into the mountain castle again.

And what he said was very reasonable, there was no way to send only a thousand troops to garrison the mountain castle at the beginning, and now, the family has been cultivating for several months, the soldiers are strong, and the morale is high, and it is time to strengthen the strength of the Takayama clan and put pressure on Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
