Chapter 90: Just Borrowing the Way
"Ahh Guo Jia suddenly slapped his forehead on the way to the march.
"Huh? What's the matter? Maeda Toshiya followed Guo Jia at zero distance, and immediately asked questions when he heard his words. At the same time, he also said what he thought in his heart.
"Didn't you tell Asai Nagamasa about Luo in advance?"
Guo Jia looked at Maeda Toshiya in surprise, this general seems to have become smarter and smarter in recent years. He just said it and was guessed by the person in front of him.
"Isn't it! I forgot about it! Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders, he forgot to give the Omi lord a notice in advance when he discussed Shangluo with his generals.
In fact, this can't be blamed for not thinking about it, after all, this group of people all think that Omi's Asai Nagamasa married the princess of Owari and was also allied with them, and it was only now that they remembered that this Asai Nagamasa married Ah Shi just to marry, and Ah Shi was not a political marriage at all!
"Maeda Toshiya, do you want to take a trip?" Guo Jia can only make amends, he chose this road because of the distance, but if someone intercepts him on the road, it will really outweigh the losses. It's so far away from Owari that you don't even have a stronghold, so how can you solve unexpected problems?
And the most suitable person to go out here to deliver the news is Maeda Toshiya, who has strong martial arts and has his own Xiao Jiujiu, besides, this person is Guo Jia's general, and when a person of such a status goes to inform the situation, Guo Jia doesn't believe that Asai Nagamasa will stop him again.
"By the way, if you go, tell Changzheng, I want to meet Ah Shi, and I may stay in Kotani City for a few days." Guo Jiake has no intention of discussing with the Maeda Toshiya, it is obvious that he will take you over and tell him between the lines, and then you will wait there!
This is followed by Sasa Narimasa, Kawajiri Hidetaka, and then Maeda Toshiie. Among the four people, Guo Jia's war horse is excellent, followed by Maeda Toshi's family. At this time, he can do this thing.
"Okay!" In the same way, danger and opportunity coexist, and it is certainly dangerous to go to Kotani Castle alone, but he is sure that he will save his life from this group, and it is also a good opportunity to increase his income.
With that, Maeda Toshiya turned his horse's head and prepared to go to the rear military supply team to get some dry food for the road first, and then hurried to Kotani Castle. It's not a little bit of distance from Kotani City, and it will take three or four days to get there.
"Next, it's up to Asai Nagamasa's choice, don't let me down."
Omi is a very different scene from Owari and even Mino, which is located in the mountains of the island country on the Higashiyama Road. The dense and lush woods have become the main plant here, and green has become the main color here.
Similarly, the Maeda Toshiya really deeply felt the plight of the people here during this time. There is an old enemy Miyoshi in the south, and there is a threat from the Rokkaku clan inside, and although it is controlled by Asai Nagamasa in an orderly manner, it is impossible to achieve the same scene as Owari, and many of the residents of the castle are bitter, and sometimes they are afraid to speak when they see strangers.
This is very difficult for Maeda Toshi's family, after all, he can't sleep on the streets, but after entering the city, there is no such thing as an inn, as if he has returned to the most primitive ancient no castle. What colleges, what hospitals are basically invisible here, which makes him admire Guo Jia's foresight even more, he can give the foreign population a place to rest, and here they still need to live in the residents' homes.
As a result, it was embarrassing, this group of residents did not trust him, and they didn't even say how to live. Fortunately, I brought enough dry food with me, and I was able to buy some things with my profits. This is the first castle he came to Omijin, and he still has a fluke mentality, he can't be like this in all cities!
The things that made the heavens and the earth unspiritual, and every city he passed through was a virtue. Maeda Toshiya couldn't help but sigh to the sky, "Alas, it's better for me to be Owari!" "You must know that Owari was made like a fairyland by Guo Jiake, where the residents live and work in peace and contentment with smiles on their faces every day, but here they look bitter and hateful.
"Well, let's get to Kotani City quickly." Maeda Toshiya had already walked to the front of the Oda Army, and it was estimated that he would be able to reach Otani Castle in three or two days, and Maeda Toshiie, who was planning to visit Omi, began to move forward at full speed.
The hard work paid off, and Maeda Toshiya finally survived to Kotani Castle! But he came here and hit a wall again, he didn't expect that there were soldiers guarding the city gate here, and he was stopped and started to check before he entered the city, who are you? What are you here to do? One question after another made Maeda's Toshiya head up, because no matter what, these bastards said that he was a spy.
No, before he could explain clearly, several soldiers slashed at each other, and this behavior instantly angered Maeda Toshiya, and the little soldier standing guard dared to talk to him like this? Looking at this loose state, he can knock it down with one finger! That's what I said, but people have weapons anyway, so let's use guns more or less for the sake of Asai Nagamasa's face!
In between, the spear in Maeda's hand flew and the dust on the ground was raised, and when it fell, the soldiers who were shouting with him just now were beaten by him.
"How about letting me in early? A bunch of idiots! Maeda Toshiya retracted his spear and mounted his horse again, just as one of the residents approached him with a probing in his head.
"Brother, you're so fierce! People just want to bribe you and beat them up, what a fucking relief! "Look at this person's tone, it should be the old fritter here, and there is no doubt about it.
"Bribes?" But there are some words that Maeda Toshiya hasn't understood yet, isn't this group of guards just to check the enemy? After all, the Oda Army had already come to Omi, and he was also prepared for this kind of thing.
"Isn't it? Big brother, is it the first time you've come to Kotani City like this? Let me tell you, if anyone who comes here enters the city, they have to give some bribes to the soldiers, whether it is money or dry food! Of course you didn't give it to him, of course he was stopped! As he spoke, the man approached Maeda's house.
"Stop! Who are you! Maeda Toshiya instantly pulled out the spear, and pointed the tip of the spear at this person's throat, he suddenly remembered that he was still wearing the armor of the Oda Army, and it was impossible for the Oda family crest on his chest to not be seen! Everyone knows that he is a battlefield soldier in this outfit, but the person in front of him came to him lightly, which is very abnormal!
"If you don't say anything, I'll let you see your ass!" Maeda Toshiya said very clearly, there are too many doubts about this person in front of him, and if he can't explain it clearly, he will definitely let this person's head be separated.
"Hey, I didn't expect there to be such a talent in the Oda Army! Do you want to follow me, you should be an errand runner like this, you follow me and I will let you be a centurion! ”
"Isn't this man crazy!" Maeda Toshi's family was stunned, the person in front of him should be a general or a commander, but he must not have seen Guo Jia's Oda army, because only a person like a general will have the Oda family's family crest on his armor. The only benefit that this person in front of him can give is a centurion, so he is at most at the same level as himself, or even lower than himself!
"Fuck off! Something that is an eyesore! Maeda Toshiya didn't want to continue to entangle with this person, so he forced this person away with a spear and rode away directly. You must know that he has a task, and there is no time to waste.
Otani Castle is different from other castles in Omi, after all, it is a place where the daimyo live, and there is no such bitterness and hatred, and it is also a capital city anyway.
"Stop! Who? ”
"Big brother, look at his chest! The family crest of the Oda family! ”
The soldiers guarding the gate of the castle tower were very eye-catching, and they could see at a glance what the pattern on Maeda Toshiya's chest represented, and they went back to report it immediately.
"I'm Toshiya Maeda! Oda Guojia's chief general, I have something to discuss with your daimyō. Maeda Toshiya directly stated his purpose, and after a long journey, he had to know Asai Nagamasa's attitude!
"Please, please I'll report to Lord Asai Nagamasa right away." Of course, this soldier can garrison the city tower, of course, there are two brushes, and his attitude is much stronger than ordinary people!
"Lord Maeda Toshiie, we, Lord Nagamasa, want to see you! But your weapons ......" After a while, a man ran out quickly, and the soldier whispered a few words in the soldier's ear, and the soldier told Maeda Toshiya to let him in, but still didn't want him to go up with his weapon.
"What? Let me remove my armor? "Maeda Toshi's family is unhappy again, why, he didn't have to remove his armor when he saw Guo Jia during the war, but when he got here, he asked him to remove his armor! What is Asai Nagamasa!
"My lord, you ......" Before the soldiers said that they wanted the Maeda Toshiya to push him away and enter the castle tower, the only thing left was his war horse!
Before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "When I come back, if my baby loses weight, you see that I won't clean you up!" ”
As the commander of the cavalry regiment, Maeda Toshiya only has two favorites, Amatsu, and his horse!
I don't know what the situation is, but the structure of each city is similar, and the council hall here was instantly found by Maeda Toshiie.
It's just that the atmosphere here is a little flattering, led by Asai Nagamasa, who hasn't changed much in four years since I saw this person, but he feels more mature, and then Ah Shi behind him, looking at her excitement made Maeda Toshiya find a trace of feeling in that ancient no castle, and then there are the retainers of Asai on the left and right. Then there was a person who brought Maeda Toshiya to notice. This is a man sitting next to Asai Nagamasa, with a hint of unhappiness between his eyebrows.
"Long time no see!" Maeda Toshiie was the first to speak, his body bowed slightly, and this gesture and words showed his respect for the daimyo of Asai Nagamasa and his pride in being in the Oda Army.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what news Li Jiajun brought me." Without waiting for Maeda Toshiya to enter the council hall, Asai Nagamasa asked.
"Huh? In such a hurry? Maeda Toshiya thought to himself, this feeling was like the person in front of him was protecting himself.
"Lord Guo Jia raised troops to go to Luo, planning to borrow the road from Omi." Again, since Asai Nagamasa didn't let himself in, then he just said it on the side. Anyway, it's just to convey the news, and if something goes wrong, he will take the road and run.
"Shangluo? Brother Guo Jia is planning to go to Luo? Asai Nagamasa's performance was relieved in the eyes of Maeda Toshiie.
"It looks like there's something wrong with the situation in Omi!" Maeda Toshiya frowned without leaving a trace, and then it will be up to Asai Nagamasa to do it!
