"It's Sanada Nobuyuki in the future, and I hope to give His Highness the state a lot of advice!" Sanada Nobuyuki bowed to me calmly and respectfully, and his words carried the awareness of facing life and death.

Since Sanada Masayuki has brought his two sons here, he has naturally been mentally prepared for certain things, and it is normal for the vassal wealthy clan, especially the vassal wealthy clan who has just surrendered, to pay hostages, not to mention that the Oda family has already given him such a big benefit, even if he asks him to send hostages over without pulling out a dime, he has to do it. As a smart person, you must know what you can do and what you must bow your head.

"The dog has no form to let His Royal Highness Yuzhou smile, if you don't give up, please bring one or two!" Sanada Masashi couldn't help but express his wish to send his son as a hostage, and at the same time implicitly asked me to protect it in Kyoto. The feeling of being a father is understandable, and as a lord this is a must.

"Known as the famous general of the Sanada family, he is really a young hero!" I laughed and complimented me, but I didn't make a real statement. Although I already have a plan in mind, I can't be too abrupt. "His Royal Highness Kotaka's strategy back then, even Takeda Shingen also sighed to himself, and after that, everyone also had their own victories. Xin Xing Gongzi has a family history, Wen Taowu Luo naturally has a good insight, since he has lived in Kanto Jiaxin for a long time, I don't know if he has any high opinion of the situation here? ”

"In front of a famous general like His Royal Highness Yuzhou, I really don't dare to be the word 'high opinion', it's just that in the place where the ancestors have lived for generations, there are some acquaintances and familiar things!" Sanada Nobuyuki straightened up and replied.

"Okay, it's really bold!" I couldn't help but praise him again, and his meaning actually had an indication of what I was asking.

The son's words were not very polite, so Sanada Masayuki had an expression of gain and loss for the first time since he entered the door, after all, he was the head of the family with family responsibilities, and even if he was full of courage, he could no longer be as reckless as a young man. The matter is basically a foregone conclusion, and it seems that it is a little unwise to contradict me again, and after all, I still need my mediation within the Oda family.

The kid on the other side didn't seem to care, and everything didn't even seem to have anything to do with him. No matter how secretly I observed, I didn't find a trace of emotion in his eyes, just as he didn't understand or care about what we were saying.

Seeing all of this in my eyes, I nodded secretly, something was expected of me. "We might as well be imaginary enemies, there's no other meaning in this!" I'll start with a clarification. "The Hojo family is the largest force in the Kanto region today, not only is it a vast area and a large population, but the system woven by four generations of family heads is also difficult to shake. Especially Odawara Castle, which is the best in the world, even Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen are helpless. What I would like to ask Childe is: How many troops would be needed at least if the Hojo family were to be wiped out in one war? ”

"If it is handed over to me, 150,000 soldiers and horses can be completed, but you must also give me a capable assistant!" Answering such a serious question to me, he didn't even think about it.

"One hundred and fifty thousand...... Say a lot less, but not too much! "I sighed at this answer, impressed by his adaptability, decisiveness, and self-confidence in daring to command an army of 150,000." As I said earlier, Uesugi Kenshin also attacked Odawara Castle, and his army reached 150,000. Although the Uesugi army was in a no-man's land, in other words, it was a punch in the air and did not cause much damage to the Hojo family. At that time, there were countless famous generals under Uesugi Kenshin, and now Childe only says one deputy, is it a little ill-considered? I squinted my eyes slightly, meaning "Can you do it!" ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou just asked how many people I want to use, but I didn't mention whether I want to use other conditions!" A sly look flashed in Sanada Nobuyuki's eyes, like a child who had just succeeded in stealing a machine in a chess game. "Odawara Castle is impregnable, and no matter how many troops are mobilized, a strong attack will be shattered. I only say that 150,000 people can break Odawara Castle, but in fact there must be one decisive factor: time! "He grew serious, and that's what he looked like was discussing academic issues." The Hojo family's army at Odawara Castle was always kept at around 20,000 to 30,000, and it would take at least 100,000 to trap them. The other 50,000 men, under the leadership of a powerful man, could take all the important branches of the Hojo domain in three to five months. After that, it was a siege of the city, which made the Hojo soldiers panic and lose their morale. As long as you have no worries about your own territory, a lot of grain and grass can be solved on the spot after taking the Hojo territory, and the cost will not seem to be as big as it seems! ”

"It's really good, and that's the safest way!" I twisted my head and my chin, and this method coincided with the fall of Oda Yuan. I have the impression that all his qualities are excellent, and he really deserves to be among the famous generals. "What is rare is that you have a concept of the overall situation at a young age, and the planning of military use is not limited to one country and one city. If you have the opportunity to exercise in the vast world, the future is absolutely limitless! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou has praised it falsely, and he is terrified!" Although he did not show any special pride, he thanked him politely.

"If His Royal Highness Yuzhou looks at the child and is still able to be cultivated, then please bother!" Sanada Masayuki quickly picked up, and his keen political sense made him quickly perceive an opportunity. Since I am a military general who guards the six countries and expresses my appreciation for his eldest son, then the Sanada family may have leaned on a "big tree".

"Yes! It's better to ......" I stopped talking and took a closer look at Sanada Nobuyuki's face, then nodded thoughtfully.

This action made him himself a little confused, and he reached out and touched his face, thinking that he had been stained with something.

"I took the liberty to ask the last sentence, I don't know if the son of Xinxing has ever been married?" I finally withdrew my gaze and turned to Sanada Masayuki, and asked in the middle of everyone's attention. The meaning of these words was already quite obvious, and the person concerned himself showed rare surprise.

"In the past two years, I have said two, but in the end, I didn't say it." As his father, Sanada Masayuki, said that the slowing down of his speech showed that he was doing rapid calculations in his heart.

According to the original identity of the Sanada family, the eldest son Nobuyuki is very likely to marry the daughter of a Takeda Shigetomi as the main house, and of course it is possible to get a princess from the Takeda family, but it depends on whether the person concerned is appreciated.

The current situation has naturally changed drastically, and it seems that Sanada Nobuyuki's fate as a hostage seems to be irreversible, so if it is through a means of marriage, it will not only be very face-saving, but also have an extra layer of security.

"If His Highness Sanada doesn't dislike it, I'd love to marry you!" I didn't let him think too much, and I just made it clear. "Actually, my inner family and I have always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately we have never had such a blessing, and then I claimed one from the Masakin-cho family in Kyoto, and there will never be anything to say about the pedigree. It's not that I'm boasting, this daughter is smarter and smarter than my son, that is, I will be willing to see a young hero like Nobuyuki Gongzi today! ”

"This is the glory of my Sanada family!" Sanada Masayuki laughed heartily, and the Sanada family will be as safe as Mount Tai after such a family relationship. No matter who is the Kanto governor, even if it is the Shibata Katsu family, they don't dare to touch my relatives easily. "Nobuyuki, this kid from the mountains and fields has never seen any major events, so I ask you to ...... when you arrive in Kyoto."

"Your Highness Sanada, you are wrong!" I raised a finger and shook it, and said to the inexplicable Sanada Masayuki and the others: "Even if it is this family achievement, it should be me who sent my daughter over, how can I call Shinyuki over?" Besides, the major event of Koshin was initially decided, and His Royal Highness Sanada also needs Shinyuki's assistance here, and it is not appropriate to travel far away. After all, this is also a lifelong event for children, and it is always bad to decide without letting them see each other. His Royal Highness the Inner Prefecture will hold a grand tea party in Kyoto next year, and at that time, please Shinkomi Komiko Hikari, and then they can also make their own decisions! ”

"Next spring?" The father and son couldn't help but ask together. This was so unexpected that it did not conform to either the conventions of hostages or the rules of marriage in general.

"Don't let the inner man and the little girl see the son of Shinyuki, I don't want to be too arbitrary!" I suddenly smiled at Sanada Nobuyuki and said, "Of course, my own daughter looks good by herself, but not everyone looks the same. When you see for yourself, not only will you save me from complaining over there, but you won't beat the drum in your heart and think that I will 'wrong' you! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou...... Teased! Sanada Nobuyuki finally lost his stability, and his face was red as if it were on fire.

Sanada Masayuki was moved to a certain extent, but the little one only showed a slightly interested look.

I don't know what this is, and I can only influence, but not decisively, even in the marriage of my children. I didn't give my eldest son the right to choose freely, and when my adopted daughter was about to marry according to my purpose, I gave me a seemingly strange approach. Marrying the Sanada family was part of the strategy that Nagano Yoshimasa had left me, but I made a change, maybe I thought it would work better!

"Your Highness Sanada, do you think this is appropriate?" I looked at Masayuki Sanada, who had already finished his suspicions.

"But by the orders of His Highness the Prefecture!" Sanada Masayuki should have felt sincere friendship at this moment, but he still couldn't fully believe it.

"This is the second son, right?" I finally looked at the cynical boy, who looked up at me with no awe or flinching in his eyes.

"This is the second son, Genjiro, who has not yet served the yuan!" Sanada Masayuki's attitude towards his second son seems to be a little helpless, and it seems that he usually can't control it very much. "This kid has been stubborn since he was a child, please don't blame His Highness Yuzhou!"

"Being maverick isn't necessarily a bad thing, no matter how strange he is, can he blame His Highness the Inner Mansion when he was a child?" I continued to look at Genjiro, this kid does have some personality. "I also want to ask Genjiro Gongzi a question now: What do you think of Brother Ling's Kanto strategy just now?"

"Are you asking me?" After receiving my affirmative reply, he smiled wickedly and said, "That's a whole ploy that can't be more vulgar......
