When the clan heard that the other party was actually Hosokawa Fujitaka, this made the clan very happy.

It can be said that in the history of Japan's Warring States Period, the Takayama clan admires the most is not the Takenaka Hanbei known as the Mino Kirin, nor the Sanada Yukimura, known as Japan's strongest soldier, not those well-known top samurai, and the clan admires the most Hosokawa Fujitaka in front of him, who is also one of the samurai he most wants to include under his command.

Hosokawa Fujitakachi, although he is far less well-known in later generations than Takenaka Hanbei, Sanada Yukimura and others, and even if he didn't know a little about the history of Japan's Warring States, or if he had played some Japanese Warring States classes, he wouldn't know who he was at all.

Although Hosokawa Fujitaka is not famous, in the heart of the clan, he is indeed like a god. As a traverser, he can predict the development of things in the road, which is not worthy of praise, but this Hosokawa Fujitaka is not a person who travels, but he can judge the subsequent development of things from various details, this kind of insight beyond ordinary people, and the ability to judge, it can be said that in this era, it is second to none.

It is precisely because he has such an extraordinary ability that the Hosokawa family can turn evil into good fortune every time he encounters a crisis, if he has only made the right choice once in his life, then the clan can be regarded as a fluke, however, in Hosokawa Fujitaka's life, he has made three choices about whether the family name can continue to exist, and he has not made a mistake.

For the first time, he correctly chose Oda Nobunaga instead of following Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Kuro, which allowed him to preserve the name of the Hosokawa family.

The second time, during the change of Honnoji Temple, even a shrewd person like Akechi Mitsuhide thought that Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was related by marriage, would join his camp, but he really didn't expect that Hosokawa Fujitaka would not only shave his family, but also give up the position of family governor to his son Hosokawa Tadashi. He also imprisoned Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter Tamako in the mountains of Tango, and after Akechi Mitsuhide's defeat, Hosokawa Fujitaka was also appreciated by Hideyoshi for not standing on Akechi Mitsuhide's side.

And after the last, Hosokawa Fujitaka added his name in order to preserve. He was even more unswervingly on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu, even if Ishida Mitsunari sent 15,000 troops. went to attack Tanabe Castle, which was defended by only 500 men under Hosokawa Fujitaka, and did not let him turn to the Western Army.

And it is his three life and death choices that will make the Hosokawa family famous and immortal. In terms of standing in line, Hosokawa Fujitaka is even stronger than the historical Maeda Toshiie, when others were suffering. But he continues to get promoted and make a fortune, and no matter who he messes with, he still eats a lot and has never been ostracized, which is not something ordinary people can do.

The clan knows the way. Since its own strength is still very small, it will not have much impact on the development of history for the time being, and at most it can only affect local areas, however. As your strength continues to increase, history will be changed beyond recognition, and at that time, you will no longer have the ability to foresee, and your advantage will not be much.

But if Hosokawa Fujitaka could become his own retainer, then the problem would no longer be a problem, at least until Hosokawa Fujitaka died in 1601. You don't have to worry about this anymore, and then. If nothing else, I'm afraid that this world has already been taken by myself. You don't have to worry about these problems anymore.

Seeing that the lord didn't speak for a long time, Watanabe Moritsuna, who was beside the clan, couldn't help but remind: "Lord, the envoy of the princess is still waiting for the lord's summons, look ......"

At this time, the clan had already come to his senses, and only heard him speak: "Well, follow me to meet you." With that, the clan jumped off his horse and walked towards Hosokawa Fujitaka not far away. …,

And although Hosokawa Fujitaka is the general's messenger, after all, he has a request from the Oda family, and it is not easy to support him, and when he saw the Takayama clan coming towards him, he also hurriedly greeted him.

The two of them stopped in unison when they were less than ten paces away, but neither of them spoke, but looked at each other.

I saw that Hosokawa Fujitaka is not very tall, but he is very well-proportioned, with a national character face and two thick eyebrows, giving people a sense of justice and majesty.

The land of Kyoto has long been decayed, so the people who live here, whether they are ministers, samurai, or ordinary civilians, if you look closely, you can see that their eyes are numb and dull, but Hosokawa Fujitaka's eyes are completely different from them, from his eyes, the clan sees endless wisdom and calmness, born in such an environment, life, but not contaminated by the atmosphere here, it is not something ordinary people can do.

This made the clan more appreciative of him, and also decided to recruit him under his command no matter what, although the conditions are not yet ripe, and it is unrealistic for the clan to let him be directly loyal to him now, but as long as history does not change too much, he will still be transferred to the Oda family sooner or later.

With foresight, at that time, he was at worst a lord of the country, and then he opened his mouth to Nobunaga, asking him to be a force, Nobunaga will definitely not refuse, as long as the energy consumption to the change of Honnoji Temple, after Nobunaga's death, this Hosokawa Fujitaka will justifiably become a retainer under his command, this strategy seems to have taken a lot of detours, but, in the eyes of the clan, if you want to make it work for yourself, there is only this way.

Hosokawa Fujitaka as a famous family, and served two generations of generals, in order to save face, until he has enough strength, he will definitely not be loyal to himself, so it is better to let him become the first to come with the force.

Therefore, from this point of view, this strategy is not only not going around in circles, but it is also the most convenient and feasible way, and if you want to succeed, one is to wait patiently, and the other is to befriend him, for the sake of Hosokawa Fujitaka, both of which are acceptable to the clan.

While the clan sect looked at each other, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was standing not far from the clan sect, was not idle, and took advantage of this time to carefully look at the clan from head to toe.

In Hosokawa Fujitaka's opinion, this Takayama clan is much younger than he imagined, it seems that the other party is in his early twenties, at his age, it is incredible to have the current prestige, and although this Takayama clan is dressed luxuriously, but there is no trace of arrogance from his demeanor, it can be said that from the handsome and young face of the Takayama clan, there is no joy and sorrow at all, and some are just as calm as water. This is the bearing that the superior should have, and this kind of bearing is far inferior to even his own lord.

But who would have thought that the identity of the Gao Shan clan was only a subordinate general, and the land he owned was only a mere 8,000 stones?
