It was a small, slightly dimly lit conference room in Azuchi City, full of less than 10 people seated here. The attack on the old enemy Takeda family should have been a big fanfare and a prestige thing, but now it looks like a conspiracy.

Oda Nobunaga hasn't come yet, and several people with their own hearts are all looking at the person opposite him in a daze, and the person opposite me is Niwa Nagahide, who looks better, and Akechi Mitsuhide looks at Shibata Katsuya fixedly, but I don't know what it feels like. I sat in the second seat on the right, with Oda Natsunobu Tadashi on the upper hand and Tokugawa Ieyasu sitting on the first seat opposite.

The plan was sent in the day before yesterday, but I already knew that the plan was going to be changed. In fact, the factor for this change had already been determined five days ago, and the reason why Oda Nobunaga did not notify me immediately was probably to create an unfathomable effect. As for me, naturally I won't break his naughty psychology at will, and it's not once or twice to pretend to be confused.

Turning my face slightly, my gaze shifted from Niwa Nagahide to Tokugawa Ieyasu's. At this moment, he looked at his nose, nose to mouth, and mouth to ask his heart, and his heart was like stopping water and having no desires, and he was alive and well as an old monk, but in fact I knew very well that he was almost trembling with excitement.

It is no wonder that many people use the word "tortoise" to describe Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has been pressed down on his body by one large stone after another since the day he was born. From Imagawa Yoshimoto to later Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen, no one is something he can compete with, and no one will give him room for development. Today is finally good, and the east gate will be opened after the demise of the Takeda family. Oda Nobunaga has already promised to give him the entire Suruga, rich gold mines plus a corridor to the vast Kanto, beyond Imagawa Yoshimoto's 800,000 stone territory, presumably he is about to go crazy at this moment, but I wonder if he thinks of his son Nobuyasu at this moment?

"You've been waiting a long time!" I was about to continue analyzing others, but Oda Nobunaga strode out of it. This time he made the exception of the attendants and walked barefoot on the floor without making a sound. "This time, when we are going to discuss the use of troops against Takeda, the will of the imperial court will also come down in three to five days. Now I'll announce your tasks first......" he said, unfolding the few pieces of paper he was holding in his hand and placing them on the low table in front of him.

"Oh......" I was a little surprised by this situation, and I usually had to discuss it first, whether it was a formality or not. Today it seems that he has made up his mind, but is it necessary to act so urgently?

"As the main force of this attack, I will lead my headquarters and the soldiers and horses of Minami Omi, Yamashiro, and Hanoi, totaling more than 30,000 people, to attack the Takeda family on the Tokaido!" Oda Nobunaga looked at a piece of paper, then looked up. "I will meet His Highness Tokugawa at Hamamatsu, first capture Sunfu, and then enter southern Kai from the foothills of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tenryu, respectively. This is the best way to go, please cooperate with at least 15,000 troops with His Royal Highness Tokugawa, no problem! He looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu on the side.

"His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion has an order, and I, the Samurai of the Three Rivers, have no regrets until I die!" Tokugawa Ieyasu still did not show ecstatic, but he thought that he had already expressed his request in this regard in private, and it was satisfied. This time, if nothing else, he only helped persuade the Hojo family, and he played a big role.

"It seems to be a little weaker...... Ikeda Hengxing muttered in his mouth, and his voice was very soft, and no one else heard it.

I heard but didn't look at him sideways, or anything else, and the people in this room were extremely asymmetrical at the moment, so it was not surprising to have any thoughts.

"Here's the arrangement for the second way!" Oda Nobunaga saw that most of the people didn't say anything, so he continued: "The troops of the second road are headed by Nobutada as the general and Tadabei as the deputy general. The strength of the army consisted of 20,000 troops under the command of Shintada, 8,000 troops under the direct jurisdiction of Tadashi, and 3,000 troops under Mitsuhide. This way, take the Higashiyama Road through Higashimino and pass through Minami Shinano to attack the hinterland of Kai Takeda! ”

Because there are very few people in the room, there is no effect of "Weng, buzz, buzz". Regardless of whether it is eastward or westward, the practice of taking the Higashiyama Road would be considered an extremely idiotic move, and neither Saito Michizo nor Takeda Shingen have made much progress here in the past, so it seems a bit unwise to take this "dead end" when Zhan has an advantage.

"Tadabei!" Oda Nobunaga approached me, but in a tone similar to that of a trust. "It's not going to be easy, and you're going to have a heavier load. Although there are not many troops to be used this time, the responsibility is not light! ”

"The lord trusts the loyal guards to dare not do their best, but ......" I hesitated at this point, and I must hesitate here. My plan to Oda Nobunaga did not include this attack, because there were many things I still "didn't know". "The road on the Dongshan Road is difficult and dangerous, and it seems that it is not appropriate for the young master to lead this road. On the other hand, it is better to use all his strength to enter Kai through Suruga, and it is better to use the young master for this road. Anyway, there are just suspicious soldiers on the Dongshan Road, and it should be enough to have ministers and His Highness Wise! ”

"Not bad, not bad......" many people nodded in agreement.

The role of Higashiyamado is generally not favored by everyone, so it seems that Oda Nobutada's leadership will not have any brilliance, and it would be too embarrassing to wait for the south road to break through Shinfu Castle (the Takeda family's residence has been moved from Higashisaki to Shinfu) and still wander around Higashimino. The past when others are embarrassed and talk to themselves, it seems that it is not so suitable to annihilate the demeanor of the future governor of the Oda family! It's better for me to do this humiliating task than this, and I'm transferred from the west to help anyway.

"I've already made up my mind about this matter, so don't say anything more!" Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to want to consider my suggestion, and turned to Oda Nobutada before anyone else could speak. "This opportunity is very rare, you have to learn a lot from the two seniors of Zhuxing and Wisdom. Don't think that you are my son, I can't give the inheritance of the Oda family to a waste! ”

"Father, please rest assured, your son will not let you down!" Oda Nobutada turned down, facing Nobunaga in front of him, and bowed his head respectfully but firmly.

"That's it! That's the end of this question, I don't want to listen to any more 'inappropriate' nonsense! Oda Nobunaga showed that he was both a "master" and a "strict father", and he sealed everyone's mouths at once. "The following is the arrangement of the third road, with Quan Roku as the general and sending troops to Kita-Shinano to contain it!"

"Yes!" Shibata Katsuie, as always, did not dispute Oda Nobunaga's opinion, but you would be wrong to think that he was an idiot to this extent. "There is only one thing I want to ask the lord: once Uesugi Keikatsu sends troops to attack the minister's flank, who should the minister fight with first?" He raised his concerns very skillfully.

"You don't have to worry about this, once Uesugi sends troops, you will return to Kaga!" Oda Nobunaga was very relieved, and he didn't say the opposite. "We've made contact with the Hojo family, and they're going to attack the Takeda family from the direction of Ueno with 30,000 troops! After such a powerful force appeared on the flank, Uesugi Keikatsu would have thought more about his actions if he had been more sober. He said it like a joke, but most people had heard Tokugawa Ieyasu mention it the other day, but they didn't know why he told Shibata Katsuie at this time.

"The minister will live up to the expectations of the lord!" Shibata Katsuya realized at this time that he was just a companion in this play.

"This time we must win with one blow, so everyone must make the necessary preparations!" Nobunaga's words sounded like he was going to make a concluding remarks, and it seemed that he was not prepared to listen to anyone else's opinions. "Because I personally ordered the soldiers to fight this time, I left Changxiu Zhenguo. The rest should be fine, is there anyone else who has questions? Although he said that, he didn't want to hear anything anymore.

"The Great Hall! The minister still has some feelings that he wants to return...... "At the very end, a voice sounded, but it turned out to be Kuroda Kanbei.

This time, because the "monkey" was not assigned a task, Oda Nobunaga specifically allowed him to send a representative to the meeting. In fact, this was only for the sake of communication of the situation, after all, after Oda Nobunaga advanced eastward, he was the only main force to defend, especially regarding the issue of the west.

"What's the matter? You say! Oda Nobunaga frowned.

"The lord wants me to return to the main hall, please pay attention to the recent movements of the Maori family!" Kuroda Kanbei lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, like a scribe who simply passed the word. "In the past two years, the Maori family has not been in a major war, and after recuperation, they have gathered considerable strength. Just before His Majesty set off this time, the 18,000 men and horses of the Yoshikawa Motoharu Department had already begun to move towards the eastern part of Bichu, and the small wealthy clan in the central Sanyang region also showed signs of being ready to move. The lord implores the main hall to be cautious of possible changes in the western kingdom! ”

"Eighteen thousand? 18,000 people scared the 'monkeys'? Oda Nobunaga straightened up and hugged his shoulders, the corners of his mouth upturned with the usual cynical sneer. This guy is really getting longer and longer, doesn't he still have at least 20,000 people in his hands? Did he lose all his guts along with his hair! When you go back, tell him that if you want to be a 'vulture', you should hide in a hole in the ground as soon as possible! ”

"The hall forgives sins, the lord is really loyal to the country!" Kuroda kowtowed, but I had a gut feeling that he wasn't panicking.

"My lord, the minister also thinks that His Royal Highness Yuchai is very reasonable?" Niwa Nagahide's opening of his mouth prevented Oda Nobunaga from continuing to play, but doing so was very likely to attract "firepower" to him. "There are still many small wealthy families in western who were originally hostile, and it is difficult to say what they are thinking about without a few generations of transformation. Now that almost all the troops of the direct ministers of his own family have been transferred to the eastern country, the lord cannot but make the necessary arrangements! ”

"Changxiu! You...... Never mind! Oda Nobunaga's eyes widened at first, then he pouted and shook his head. Since you're all so worried, I'll do what you say! I will order His Royal Highness Matsunaga Shu to gather some of the remaining Hao troops in Yamato, Omi, and Hanoi and march into Settsu to stabilize the situation! ”

"Ahh
