The clan is ready to give him another chance, if he still can't grasp it, then in the future, he will at most find a chance to improve the knowledge and deeds of some of the Kohata family, but reuse, then it will definitely not be, because the Takayama family needs more than just those retainers who only know how to carry out orders and have no thoughts, especially when they find serious problems, the clan will never allow them to remain silent, especially the retainers they fancy, this point has not changed since the Takayama family was born.

The reason why he gave Kohata Nobutada a chance was also because the clan considered that he had just joined the family, and he didn't know the rules of the family.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Okay, Kohata Nobusada will step back first, Saito, Yura, you two stay, I still have something to say." ”

In fact, the clan has nothing to do with the two of them, in order to further stimulate Kohata Nobusada, if he doesn't even speak at this time, it can only prove that he doesn't bring seeds, such a coward, even if the martial arts are strong, what's the use.

And after the clan finished speaking, Kohata Nobusada's heart was also colliding fiercely, the reward he received just now was far lower than that of Saito, Yura and the two, he admitted, one is that he thinks about the family business, and he does not dare to disobey the will of the lord, and the other is because he is confident, don't look at the least knowledge and deeds he has obtained, but he doesn't think that in the future, the achievements of the Kohata family will be worse than these two, especially in martial arts, even if Saito Kenhiro and Yura Narishi join forces, they are not their opponents, with their own bravery, sooner or later they can make the lord pay attention to himself. That's why he accepted it silently.

But now, he doesn't think so, the lord only didn't leave himself, so doesn't this mean that he has been alienated by the lord from now on, and he is not valued by the lord. How can I make meritorious contributions in the future? If he still accepts it silently at this time, then he may not want to surpass the two of them in his life, and this is not counting, the most important thing is that he doesn't understand how he offended the lord now, if he doesn't understand this. So I know how to do these 20,000 stones, and whether it will be my own in the future is still two words.

With these thoughts in mind, Nobusada Kohata finally made a decision, and he wanted to ask for clarification.

Thinking of this, I only heard Kohata Nobujin speak: "Lord, please forgive your subordinates for their courage, this time in the battle of Ueno, although the subordinates did not contribute much, they were able to take all the land of Hojo." The strategy of the subordinates also has a little merit, but the subordinates don't know, why the lord of the subordinates made a reward far inferior to Saito, Yura two adults, if the lord is dissatisfied with his subordinates, please also ask the lord to make it clear. ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but pretend to be a sinking face, and said, "Huh? Do you dare to question the decision I made? ”

Yura Nari Shigeru and Saito Kenhiro heard that Nobutaha Nobutaha dared to be disrespectful to the lord. couldn't help but tighten his heart, and secretly scolded the other party in his heart for not knowing the general situation. If it is because of his words that the lord has an opinion about himself, it will be bad.

So before Nobusada Kohata could speak, Kenhiro Saito, who has always regarded himself as a big brother, hurriedly said: "Nobusada Kohata, you dare to question the lord, and don't apologize to the lord quickly, otherwise my Saito family will break off with you from now on." ”

"Shin Sada. Don't hurry up and apologize to the lord. Yura Chengfan also hurriedly said.

"May I ask you, two adults, if you were to be me, what would you do at this moment? I think that family business is important, but as samurai, we should not forget the dignity of samurai. "Finished. Nobuzhen Kohata looked at the clan again and said, "My lord, even if my subordinates lose all their family business, I want to get the answer this time, and I ask my lord to say it clearly." ”

When he finished speaking, what everyone didn't expect was that instead of getting angry, the clan clan laughed and said, "Haha, okay, that's right, as a samurai, don't forget the dignity of a samurai at all times, it's good." Speaking of this, I saw the clan looking at Saito Kenhiro and Yura Narishi and said: "Okay, you two return to their respective territories and immediately prepare for battle, you should know the requirements of my Takayama family, retreat." ”

Originally, the two of them were full of expectations for the lord to leave him, and they knew without asking, they must have entered the eyes of the lord, and the other party must have a more important task to hand over to them, but who knows, this little hat Nobuzhen is so stirred, the lord actually let himself leave, what does that mean, it means that he has been affected by him, especially the lord left the other party, although the lord said with a smile just now, but they are not optimistic about the future of the lord Shinsada, against the will of the lord, this is a big reversal, Whether I can see him again in the future is still two words.

However, since the lord had spoken, the two of them didn't have the courage to question it, so after glancing at Kohata Nobuzhen, they both reluctantly retreated.

With the departure of the two of them, Kohata Nobusada's heart has already risen to his throat, but he doesn't regret what he did just now, he still thinks like that, if he doesn't figure it out this time, then even if he can keep the territory for the time being, he may not be able to take it back by the lord when it is, rather than this, it is better to do it as soon as possible, so as not to be afraid, of course, he still has a way to go, that is, to take refuge in Hojo, but he has not thought about this choice at all, first of all, the current attitude of the Hojo family towards the Hao family is not what it used to be, Besides, his knowledge and deeds are in Ueno, and now that Ueno has been completely occupied by the Takayama family, if he goes to Hojo, then he will have to give up everything he has at present, which is unacceptable to him, so he would rather find the answer from Takayama-sama than go to Hojo.

"Nobusada Kohata, do you know why I gave you an unfair reward this time?" After the two left, they only heard the clan ask question.

Seeing that the lord's attitude was calm, he didn't seem to blame, and the other party also admitted that his reward was unfair, and he suddenly relaxed a little, but the other party did this, he really couldn't figure it out, and thought about it carefully, he didn't have any intersection with the lord before, so he couldn't think of it at all, instead of thinking nonsense, it was better to get the answer directly from the lord's mouth, and only heard him say: "Back to the lord, my subordinates don't know." ”

"Because I'm telling you now, among the three of you, I'm most optimistic about you, especially your courage is what I value, just now I also wanted to test whether you really have the courage and courage, if you just accept it silently, then I can only say that you let me down, and the consequence of my disappointment is that you will never get my attention, so I gave you a second chance. Luckily, you got it. ”

After listening to the words of the clan, all the unhappiness just now was left behind by Kohata Nobusada, and now all that is left in his heart is ecstasy, yes, ecstasy, although the lord has not explained his words. But these words just now are enough to prove that the other party values himself, otherwise how could he be tempted again and again for himself, there is no need for this, such as Saito and Yura, there is no such treatment, so what does this mean, it means that it is completely possible for him to use this time to rise to the top, even if he reaches the height of the four heavenly kings of the Takayama family, it is not impossible. As for the unfair treatment in front of me. It's nothing at all, as a subordinate, there is nothing more important than letting the lord value it, as long as it can be reused, then as long as you make meritorious contributions, are you afraid that there will be no more rewards.

Nobusada Kohata wanted to calm down before he spoke, but he couldn't calm down no matter what. So he could only maintain this state and said, "Please command." The subordinates are the lord, and they are the Gaoshan family. ”

"This attitude is very good, since this is the case, then I will now give you a more important task, that is, to form the Shangzhou Legion, I need you to form an army of 10,000 men for me within a year. I will give you the position of commander of this army, and I hope you will not disappoint me. Can you do it? ”

"Please rest assured, lordship......" As soon as he said this, Nobutaha couldn't help but be stunned, he thought that the lord would let him form the Ueno Legion. After the formation, at most, he gave himself the position of deputy commander, and he didn't think about the position of commander at all, after all, the current Takayama family Maeda, Bee Suka, Watanabe and Yamauchi are more suitable than themselves, these four people are not only famous, but they are all old ministers who have followed the lord for many years, and he is only now officially the minister of the Takayama family, and he is far worse than this in terms of reputation, and he should not be held by himself in any case.

Of course, he is still very eager to be in charge, but he is very clear about how many pounds and taels he has, so even if he is unwilling to give up, he has to speak: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that with the ability of my subordinates, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete, and my subordinates think that Maeda, Wasuka, and Watanabe-sama are more suitable, so ...... Therefore, please also ask the lord to take back his fate. ”

The other party can have such an attitude, which makes the clan even more satisfied, this Kohata Nobutada not only has courage, courage, and outstanding martial arts, but also knows how to advance and retreat, which is too rare, of course, the clan is not casually said, there is a reason why he arranged this, to put it mildly, to put it mildly, although Kohata Nobutada was appointed as the commander of the Ueno Legion, but this legion is his own, he is just leading troops for himself, and he has no autonomy at all, and Maeda, Bee Suka them, the clan does not intend to tie their hands and feet again, Once he obtains the Kanto region, then the reward given to them by the clan is probably enough to form a legion under his command, so although this position of Kohata Nobutada sounds lofty, it is not at all different from the commander of other military forces in his own family. And for the Ueno Army, the clan sect could not be completely handed over to him alone, not only to appoint the deputy commander, the military commissioner and others, but he also planned to send a military division to Ueno to sit in the town, so that although Kohata Nobutada was the commander, he also obeyed the dispatch of the military division. It was with this in mind that the clan made such an appointment.

Of course, these thoughts of the clan did not intend to hide from Kohata Nobusada, so as not to bring him any negative emotions, so he only listened to the clan said: "You don't have to worry about anything, your matter will not change as the commander of the Ueno Army, but can you know the configuration of the family's military situation?" ”

This little hata Nobutaha really knows, when he heard the lord say this, he understood why the lord made such an arrangement, of course, he did not have any resistance to such an arrangement, and thought that this was a matter of course, he only returned today, how could the lord completely hand over the power of Ueno to himself, and he could give himself the position of commander, he was already absolutely valued by himself, and what could he not be satisfied with.

So I heard him hurriedly say: "Back to the lord, my subordinates know that there is one commander in the army, one deputy commander, one military officer, and the rest according to the scale of the army. ”

After hearing this, the clan nodded and said, "Yes, I don't plan to make an exception to this Ueno legion, as for the deputy commander and the candidate for the military commissioner, I have already selected the candidates, and in order for you to be able to control this army as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lord." After agreeing to it, I only heard Kohata Nobutada ask again: "Dare to ask the lord, what is the mission of the Ueno Army?" "This point,Kohata Nobutada,As the commander,It's still very necessary to figure it out.,If the task is not clear.,Then maybe it will mess up the lord's plan.,That's why I asked.。

Seeing that Nobusada Kohata had entered the state so quickly, the clan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and said: "The situation in the world is changing rapidly, especially for the time being, the family is not ready to fully launch with Hojo, so once the Ueno Legion is formed, then it will temporarily focus on defense, of course, you don't have to worry about this, I decided to appoint a military advisor to Ueno to sit in the town, and you can follow the orders of the military advisor at that time." ”

"It's the lord." After listening to this, Kohata Nobuzhen finally had no doubts in his heart, he was afraid just now that the lord would let him lead the army to grasp the fighter and prepare for the battle at any time, if this is the case, then he really does not have such confidence, after all, he also knows that he is not known for his intelligence, for fear that the lord should make a plan for himself to be able to win all the fields, so he thinks that he is very intelligent, if so, then it is necessary to explain to the lord, but now it seems that the lord seems to be very clear about his ability in his heart, so that it saves a lot of tongue.

"Alright, you can go back to Ueno now, and the letter of appointment will be issued in a few days."

After his departure, the clan did not get up and leave, and began to ponder, Ueno is the most important thing for the family, especially at present, there are only four Ueno Hao clan left, and the stone under its control is no more than 100,000, and the remaining 400,000 stones in Ueno have become their own direct jurisdiction, which is definitely a big leap in strength for the Takayama family, this is only from the point of view of strength, if you look at it from the form, then it is more beneficial to the family, after obtaining Ueno, then the family itself alone has formed a semi-encirclement of the Hojo family, This is much stronger than using the power of Uesugi.
