"Lao Chen didn't think about it very much, but he still wanted to do his last bit of strength!" After saying this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, closed his eyes and gasped for breath for a long time. "What kind of person does the lord think, Oda Hall!"

"If you talk about the lord......" I thought for a moment, but I really didn't know what to say. I still know him well, but I don't know how to describe it. "The lord can be said to be a rare man in the world, and his whimsy is beyond the reach of others. I'm not saying that he is invincible, on the contrary, there are not a few people who are better than him in these two aspects, I mean his eclectic and daring style of acting first! He was also afraid of powerful enemies, such as Shingen Takeda, but he still took a proactive strategy to fight them. There may be nothing sacrosanct in his heart, and it is because of this that he can stand in this position today! "I don't have to hide anything in front of Nagano Yoshimasa, and I don't want to deliberately belittle Oda Nobunaga.

"The lord is right, the Oda Hall is indeed such a person!" Nagano's head, which was sinking into the pillow, trembled slightly, but he wanted to order it. But the shortcomings and strengths of this man in the main hall are equally obvious, and his eyes can only see people of the same level as him. As everyone knows, the ultimate direction of many major events in the world is determined by small people, and ignoring such people is often a fatal mistake! After a long breath, he continued: "The Oda Hall tried its best to deal with the heroes of the world, and after they fell one by one, the main hall finally stood at the peak of power! Because there were no villains in the eyes of the main hall, and they thought that their energy was insignificant, so countless villains hid and gathered in the shadows under his feet......"

I looked at the sparkle on Nagano's old face, and suddenly thought of a piece of charcoal that burned at the end.

"That location in the main hall is so tempting, it's impossible for anyone with the slightest ambition to be indifferent!" Nagano's voice became a little dry, and I hurriedly fed him half a glass of water. "Thank you, my lord,......" he looked at me with emotion. Villains are not necessarily unambitious, and tend to be bigger. The arrogance of the Oda Hall swelled uncontrollably after defeating many heroes, and even more so for the little people. The old minister is here today to assert that the Oda Hall will soon die at the hands of Xiaoxiao! ”

"And then?" I subconsciously lost my mind and asked in a daze. I also have a premonition about the end of Oda Nobunaga, but I don't know exactly where it will go, and the possibility of Akechi Mitsuhide initiating the change of Honnoji has become very small in all aspects, so where will there be a "bomb"?

"The specific ministers can't say clearly, in short, what should come will always come!" Nagano doesn't seem to care much about this problem, and I wonder if he is also subconsciously despising the "villain". "I just said that there is not only one villain, this one will do it if you don't do it, so it's not such a big thing, it's like a cloudy day and rain that can't be controlled!"

"And what do you think I'm going to do?" I was a little confused by what he said, and it seemed inevitable that it would be unavoidable.

"An important factor why villains are villains is that they always hope that the conspiracy will succeed, without appreciating the general trend of the world!" The smile on Nagano's face grew stronger, as if he was laughing at the many people who were not in front of him. "They will think that as long as they get rid of the Oda Inner Mansion, they will have a chance to replace him, or at least continue the turmoil in the world. As everyone knows, the world has reached the time when it is time to be calm, and even if there is no Oda Inner Mansion, there will be others who will raise this banner again. Although Oda Uchifu may not be able to be this person due to his many character flaws, this person will definitely be the successor of his career, not his enemy. Lord, be the one who inherits Oda's business! ”

"So what am I going to do?" His words seemed to hold up a picture in front of me, and they could and could be so vague.

"Lord, you don't use anything, the opportunity will naturally appear in front of you!" He let out another long breath, probably a little tired. "Opportunities will arise, but I don't know how, where they will appear. But I know it's bound to happen, and the lord just needs to catch it! ”

I felt a pang of confusion, and what he said seemed more plausible to me. Something big is about to happen, but I'm not fully prepared.

"I didn't make any practical suggestions, so it seems that I can't say anything in front of the lord!" Nagano was struggling to stand up, but he felt a little overwhelmed. I hurried up and held him up. "There, in the bottom drawer! There are two envelopes, please take them to the old minister! He pointed to a small cabinet in the corner.

I put his body back on the couch and walked to the small cabinet in the corner. In fact, it is better to say that it is a cabinet than a bookcase, with only three drawers at the top, middle and bottom, which are standing in the corner of the wall and are not noticed by ordinary people. Things were easy to find, and there were only these two envelopes in the bottom drawer. "Is that it?" I handed the envelope to him.

"That's it, it's the last suggestion made by the old minister to the lord!" Nagano Yoshimasa didn't pick up the two envelopes, but lay down and looked at me with relief. "The old minister has little material and no longer has the strength to present himself to the lord, and he can't see the direction of the world very clearly in the future. It's just that there are two things that I have been thinking about for a long time, and then I have the courage to make a suggestion to my lord. This was written a month ago, and I didn't expect it to be handed over to the lord in person! ”

I brought the two envelopes to my eyes, and only then did I notice a small line of print on them. There were several large candles burning in the house, so I could see very clearly. "The credentials of the eastern kingdom belong to Sanada...... The source of chaos in the world is in Tokugawa! I read them out in a very small voice.

"This is the advice I want to make to the lord, and the detailed steps are written in it!" The smile on Nagano's face was even stronger, as if he had just finished a masterpiece. "The Sanada family is a very influential wealthy family in the area of Kita-Shinano and Ueno, and they will do their best to assist those who understand their value. The defeat of the Takeda family is irreversible, and it is time for the Sanada family to choose again. As long as the lord grasps this force, it will be enough to contain all the hostile forces in Tohoku, Kanto, eastern Tokaido, and northern Hokuriku in the future, so that they will not be able to march boldly towards with confidence! ”

"Does the Sanada family really have so much energy?" I asked, hesitantly, bewildered. Although I know some of the deeds of the Sanada family recorded in the history books, they are only a local wealthy family after all, and according to Nagano Yoshimasa, it almost includes the territory of the real Uesugi, Takeda, Hojo and more.

"Lao Chen's meaning is not to suppress, but to restrict!" Nagano looked at the envelope in my hand and pointed out my misunderstanding. "It is not necessarily a good thing for the Sanada family to be reused as much as possible, but there is no need to reward them excessively, so that they can become a great feudal clan of more than 500,000 koku. But please believe in the survivability of these 'mountain monkeys', even in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, they may not be able to completely eradicate their roots in the mountains, and a little relaxation will break the ground and sprout. With such a 'nail' loyal to the lord stuck there, who can come west without any scruples! ”

"Ah......h

"Look at Tokugawa...... then," I flipped over the other envelope in my hand.

"Tokugawa Ieyasu...... That's a really interesting guy! Nagano smiled even more joyfully. The world is a table, but there is a leg that is shortened, making this table wobbly, as if it were in troubled times. Oda Uchifu was like a heavy tripod that was placed on this table to stabilize it. If you want to ask why this is so, it is because under the short leg is His Royal Highness Tokugawa Ieyasu, a turtle that can carry weight. His presence had calmed the table, but it was also the result of the weight of his body. If the turtle loosens itself, the turtle will crawl again and the table will overturn. If one day the lord becomes the tripod on the table, while replacing the turtle may not be a good idea, don't ignore the pressure that should be put on him! ”

"Oh......" This is a metaphor that I have never thought of, and in his heart he has seen Tokugawa Ieyasu so thoroughly. Not bad! It's a turtle, but it's not a turtle that anyone can hold down. I looked down at the envelope in my hand again, and it was supposed to be a huge "stone tablet" that held the turtle down forever.

"That's it! That's all the old minister said, please go back! A moment later, Nagano took his hand back, and the gloom once again covered his cheeks.

"Teacher...... "I didn't expect him to give an eviction order, so I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"The tiger should die in the mountains, not in front of people's eyes!" Nagano Yemasa's once-wide eyes closed again, and it seemed that the light in the entire room had dimmed with it. "Lao Chen wants to accumulate some more strength, wait a little longer, there are some things I haven't seen yet!"

Slowly walked to the door and slowly pulled the door open. Outside, Nagano Yoshimori and a few doctors and subordinates were standing, and as the door opened, all of them turned their eyes to me. "Teacher...... Take care! I said slowly.

"My lord, please rest assured, you can't die if you don't see the Takeda family fall down!" Nagano Yemasa's voice was faint, but it came clearly from behind him.

"Hmm!" I stepped out the door and didn't turn again. The doctor and the servant entered the house and the door was pulled shut again, and Nagano Yoshimori walked silently with me towards the door.

Outside the gate, my guards were regrouped, and my horses were pulled in front of them. I saddled up and stepped onto the horse, and reached out and touched the two letters in my bosom, which strengthened my heart to the sun that was slowly rising in the east.
