"What to do?! What the hell is going on?! Are you talking?! Oda Nobunaga, who was seated, roared at the retainers below. Xinqing, this bastard is reversed! If you don't act right away, there will be an immediate ripple effect! The tyrants, the monasteries, and all the remnants of the dead will think that I am weak and deceitful, and they will unite against me! ”

"Let's fight! Lord! Shibata Katsuie's loud voice rang out. Nothing to hesitate about! Please let me be the vanguard and enter Inuyama Castle! Kill all those rebels! ”

"Do you have any belly cases?" Oda Nobunaga asked, "You have also seen that a small small mouth castle has caused us to lose our troops, not to mention Inuyama!" If we attack with all our might, how will the Saito family deal with the fact that they are coming to copy our back path? ”

"This ...... I haven't thought of a way yet, please forgive my subordinates for not thinking it through! Beads of sweat appeared on Shibata Katsuie's forehead.

"Forget it! Your courage is still good, think again! Oda Nobunaga was a little helpless, and turned his face to others again. What do other people think! ”

"Ahem......" coughed, Lin Tongsheng said: "Oda Nobukiyo and the lord are of the same blood, and there may be some misunderstanding between them. This incident may just be caused by a momentary mood, and I hope that the lord can give him a chance to turn back and reform himself! It would be great if Inuyama Castle could return to my home peacefully! ”

"It can't be!" Takigawa Kazuyi said indignantly. "Oda Nobukiyo wolf ambition! The lord has repeatedly tolerated him leniently, and he even married his sister! But how did he repay the great kindness of his lord? Let's not talk about this incident, hasn't he been secretly recruiting troops to expand his strength in the past few years? If he hadn't found a chance, I'm afraid the back of his head would have flare-up a long time ago! Want him to pull back from the precipice? Hum! I think it's easier to call wolves not to eat meat and dogs not to ****! ”

"Migoro! What do you think? Oda Nobunaga did not comment on the argument between the two of them, but set his sights on Niwa Nagahide.

"My lord! In my opinion, persuasion will definitely not work. Niwa Nagahide said calmly: "I won't talk about Oda Nobukiyo's consistent actions, just from the results of this battle, it is not difficult to see that he is quite well prepared, and the rebellion is by no means a temporary act of hot head!" We suffered a big loss in this battle, and the morale of Inuyama is now high. According to the ninja's report in the past few days, they have received a large amount of supplies and personnel from the Mino Saito family. This made Oda Nobukiyo's ambitions, which had been suppressed by the lord for a long time, swell rapidly, and he had the frame to control Owari in one fell swoop, and he would never surrender at this time! In comparison, it is more likely that he will return to his subordinates. ”

"You mean you're going to fight?" Oda Nobunaga stared.

"It's definitely going to be fought! But a strong attack will not work either. Niwa Nagahide continued, "The area around Iwakura and Inuyama is the territory that Oda Nobukiyo has been operating for many years, and the terrain is dangerous, so it is necessary to have sufficient reserves. Inuyama Castle is strong, and it forms a tight defense system with branch cities such as Koguchi, Kuroda, and Daidoji, and it is difficult to approach Inuyama without breaking the branch castle! Oda Nobukiyo's 3,000 soldiers were well-trained, and there were fierce generals such as Nakajima Toyogo Mamoru and Wada Shinsuke. The land is in the hands of the enemy, and it is not easy to take down Inuyama City in one fell swoop! ”

"Do you have any good ideas?" Oda Nobunaga's face was not very good-looking, and he was obviously moved by Niwa Nagahide's words.

"The subordinates haven't thought of any ideas yet, please forgive the lord!" Niwa Nagahide can't help it.

"Oh! Is that ......" Oda Nobunaga's voice gradually lowered, and then he asked loudly as if to cheer himself on, "What about the others?" Let's talk about what they think! ”

Then the discussion of the battle plan began......

I sat in the last row and listened to these statements. It should be said that the opinions of a few people are still desirable, but they will not play a decisive role. Niwa Nagahide's analysis is quite thorough, Inuyama Castle is not so easy to win!

"Tadahei! Don't sit there in a daze, you can talk about it too! "Oda Nobunaga suddenly called my name.

"Oh! It's ......" I was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. There are still many generals, and even generals have not spoken! How could it be my turn so soon? But since I came back that day, I've really discussed it with Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka a few times and have some plans, otherwise it would be really foreign if I was called and had nothing to say! "My lord! I have some ideas, but I'm not mature! "I decided to get vaccinated first.

"You're still really wordy!" Oda Nobunaga waved the folding fan in his hand and said impatiently. "But...... It's better to think about it than not to think about it! You say! I didn't have much hope for you. ”

"Yes! Lord! "I'm relieved, but I'm also a little disappointed." That's what I think...... Build the city! ”

"Building the !!" Oda Nobunaga and everyone was taken aback. "Tell me more!" His interest was piqued.

"My idea is in two steps! One is to build a castle on Mt. Ninomiya......"

"Cut! Idiot! "Sasa Narumasa interrupted me." Mt. Ninomiya is of course dangerous, but the east and west are plains! How to stop the enemy army from attacking Cheongju City? ”

"I'd like to ask Sasa Seimasa-sama, what are we discussing today?" I decided to teach him a lesson.

"Of course it's an attack on Inuyama! Don't you even know that? With foolish arrogance, he put his mouth in his ears.

"I think so! But how could a wise man like Sasa Seimasa think that the castle was built on Ninomiya Mountain to defend Cheongju? "I made a "naïve" look.

"You!" Sasa Chengzheng was annoyed and angry.

"Cheng Zheng! Let the loyal guards finish speaking! After stopping Sasa from becoming a politician, Oda Nobunaga said to me again, "Go on! ”

"Yes!" I continued, "Mt. Ninomiya is located right in the middle of Cheongju and Inuyama, 30 li from both places. The failure of this operation was largely due to the fact that Oda Nobukiyo had prepared in advance, and it would take a day to get from Kiyoshu to Inuyama Castle, which was difficult to keep secret. And if you depart from Mt. Ninomiya in the morning and arrive at noon, it can form a lightning effect. In addition, the terrain of Ninomiya Mountain is very high, and it is clear at a glance what major military movements there are in Inuyama Castle! In this way, our army has taken the first step! ”

"Will the Saito family watch it?" Katsuya Shibata began to ask.

"That's my second point! Our army must crucify the Saito army. "Thankfully, I was well prepared.

"How?" Oda Nobunaga's interest grew.

"We're building a castle in Sumamata at the same time!" I spoke up on this sensitive issue. "The location of the Sumamata is crucial, and it is the only way for our army to attack Inabayama Castle. Sooner or later, we will build a city there, but the conditions are not yet ripe. The Saito family also knows the importance of Sumamata, and will definitely fight to the death, so that there is no room to take care of Inuyama. Our army is only a feint in Sumamata, and it can be built better, and if it can't, it can also prepare for the future construction of the city! ”

All eyes were on me, and suddenly they turned to Oda Nobunaga.

"Good! So decided! After a moment of contemplation, Oda Nobunaga said aloud. Nobumori, you command the actions of the Sumamata side! Nagahide, you're in charge of building a castle on Ninomiya Mountain, and at the same time you're tweaking the generals of Inuyama Castle! ”
