"Really? Nagamasa Asai turned out to be such an interesting man? Oda Nobunaga said with a laugh after listening to Oda Yoshinobu's narration.

"Yes, according to the information inquired by his subordinates in the castle town, Asai Nagamasa is indeed an excellent monarch and is very popular with the people. And after talking to him, his subordinates also think that he is a good guy. Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said.

After speaking, as if thinking of something, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, that kid seems to admire you very much, brother, and his mouth is full of praise for you." Tsk, brother, are you that good? After Oda Yoshinobu finished speaking, he also made a skeptical expression.

"Cut, it's better than you, the shopkeeper!" Oda Nobunaga said angrily.

"Hey, didn't I just borrow a few of you to help Hua Mei when they were pregnant? As for being so stingy? Oda Yoshinobu was immediately upset when he heard this.

"Humph! Whose retainers are like you? If you can't do it yourself, then you can come by yourself! Oda Yoshinobu hated that iron does not become steel.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was immediately embarrassed, because Oda Nobunaga's words were indeed true, but he just didn't want to deal with that annoying government affairs.

Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga didn't know Oda Yoshinobu's urine, so after a few lessons, he directly changed the topic.

"I heard, you kid defeated the Juggernaut?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a strange expression and asked.

Tsukahara Bu naturally couldn't hide the news of Nakono Castle from Oda Nobunaga, so after learning about it, he immediately went to visit the world's first swordsman, known as the sword master, and hoped that he could serve as the Oda family's art of war instructor.

Hawkers, the art of war here is not the method of using troops in Huaxia's mouth. In Japan, the art of war is a technique that uses only weapons, and most of the time, it refers to swordsmanship. The so-called art of war in China is called military science in Japan.

Oda Nobunaga didn't have much hope, after all, Tsukahara Buden's reputation was over there, and countless daimyo had invited him over the years, but he really agreed to very few.

As it turned out, Oda Nobunaga was right not to have hope, and Tsukahara Buden politely rejected Oda Nobunaga's request, but also said that he would stay in Nakono Castle for a while to guide Shiraki Yukihisa and others and the Grim Reaper. In this regard, Oda Nobunaga was naturally very curious, and under the explanation of Tsukahara Buchuan, he learned that his good brother-in-law had done such an earth-shattering thing.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu did not show a smug look as usual, but said with admiration. "It's just a fluke, if the Sword Saint used his Mystery One Tai Sword at the beginning, his subordinates might not be able to win. And now that he has won, the Sword Master is 72 years old after all......"

Regarding Oda Yoshinobu's statement, Oda Nobunaga gave full affirmation, "Yes, it must be luck!" That's the Sword Saint! How could it really be at the hands of you, a lazy man who is obsessed with women every day? Oda Nobunaga said angrily.

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu was not angry, but showed a very unbeaten expression, "Listening to your words, Elder Brother, it seems that you have been abused by the Sword Saint?" ”

"Humph!" Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly and did not answer Oda Yoshinobu, but this attitude obviously showed everything.

In the days that followed, Oda Nobunaga sent Niwa Nagahide to Omi to begin discussions with the Asai family about the possibility of an alliance. In this matter, he didn't send Oda Yoshinobu, who had already met Asai Nagamasa, because this matter was related to Mino Raiders, Oda Nobunaga didn't dare to let Oda Yoshinobu that kid go, what if something happened halfway?

And Oda Yoshinobu didn't bother about this matter, he didn't know that the great retreat of Kanesaki in history almost killed Oda Nobunaga, and was known as one of the most dangerous battles in Oda Nobunaga's life, but he didn't come forward to stop this matter because of this.

He knew very well that the alliance with the Asai family was imperative. Because only in this way can a situation of encirclement of Mino be formed, and further put pressure on the wealthy families of Mino, no matter how bad it is, it can also make the Saito family dare not move too many troops to guard against Omi to guard against the Oda family. At that time, if the Oda family attacked Mino again, they would encounter much less resistance.

Of course, what is more important is that because Oda Yoshinobu believes that even if it is really like history, Asai Nagamasa betrays the Oda family again, Oda Yoshinobu has the confidence to block the enemy army. After all, in the historical retreat of Kanesaki, Kinoshita Toyoshiro did it with a small number of troops, and the entire main force of the Oda and Tokugawa coalition forces had almost no. Kinoshita Toyoshiro was able to do it, and Yoshinobu Oda had no reason to feel that he couldn't do it well.

Well, this attitude of his seems appropriate to describe in one word, and that is megalomania. But...... Oda Yoshinobu does have this capital, after all, for so many years, he has not tasted any defeat at all, and a few days ago he defeated the sword saint Tsukahara Buden. Although he has always been very modest in this regard, he is still inevitably a little proud in his heart.

Therefore, Oda Yoshinobu can be said to be quite leisurely during this time, and every day he either shows affection with Oda City and them, or drinks and argues with Tsukahara Buchuan.

Of course, most of the time, it was Tsukahara Bu Chuan who was talking and Oda Yoshinobu was listening. After all, with his understanding of kendo, how dare he take it out and show it? He's a very self-aware man!

However, occasionally throwing out some theories that he saw in novels in his previous life, and he himself couldn't understand what it meant to fool Tsukahara Bubiography, Oda Yoshinobu was still very happy. And as a result of this, in the heart of Tsukahara Buden, the evaluation of Oda Yoshinobu is getting higher and higher, and even calls him a new sword saint after Tsukahara Buden within 10 years.

Well? Isn't Oda Yoshinobu's swordsmanship enough to become the new Sword Master? Hawkers, if you want to be a sword master, in addition to swordsmanship, you must also be famous, and this, Oda Yoshinobu is obviously far behind.

It's just that Oda Yoshinobu doesn't care much about this, because he is still concerned about Tsukahara Buden's willingness to guide Shiraki Yukiku and the Death God, although he doesn't teach any skills, just talking about some experience, but even so, Oda Yoshinobu is already very satisfied.

The news that Tsukahara Bu came to Owari obviously couldn't be hidden for long, let alone Oda Nobunaga's big mouth. So within a few days, a large number of samurai came to the ancient no castle uninvited, and almost all the retainers of the Oda family, including Shibata Katsuie, ran over, and even Matsudaira Ieyasu, a kid, rushed over with a large number of people, just to talk to Tsukahara Buden.

Although some of them may not know much about swordsmanship, and some of them have most of their martial arts in the long soldiers, how can the teachings of the Sword Master be encountered at any time? Well, it seems that no matter what era it is, there will always be people who join in the fun.

"The charm of the Sword Master is really ...... Do you want to charge a ticket? ......" Oda Yoshinobu thought helplessly as he looked at the crowded crowd outside.

Tsukahara Buden didn't stay in Owari for too long, after all, he originally agreed to come to Owari just to exchange his experience in kendo with Oda Yoshinobu and guide Shiraki Yukihisa, a disciple of his old friend, by the way. As for the Grim Reaper, although Tsukahara Buden looked fresh, the talent of these people was obviously not enough for Tsukahara Buden to spend too much energy, so he just pointed out a few words casually and ignored it.

In December, Tsukahara Bu drove back to Kashima's hometown, and Oda Yoshinobu did not persuade him to stay, firstly, because Tsukahara Buden came to Owari as a big surprise for him, and on the other hand, Tsukahara Buden also bluntly said that he wanted to go home for the New Year. In this case, what else can Oda Yoshinobu say?

Just as Yoshinobu Oda enjoyed the happiness brought to him by his children, while occasionally teasing and teasing Lilu, the alliance between Oda and Asai was concluded.

As in history, the Oda family and the Asai family not only formed an alliance, but also forged marriages, and Oda Nobunaga married his sister, Oda Nobuhide, and Oda Inu, the daughter of her main chamber Tsuchida Gozen, to Asai Nagamasa.

Hawkers,Although Oda Inu is also Oda Nobunaga's sister,But because of the relationship between Tsuchida Gozen,At the same time, it didn't leave too much name in history.,So Oda Yoshinobu doesn't know much.,Just know that it's the same as Oda City.,It's a big beauty.。

There were no twists and turns in the marriage, because compared to the Asai family, the Oda family at this time was undoubtedly more powerful. Coupled with Asai Nagamasa's good impression of Oda Nobunaga, this matter passed smoothly.

Mino Province, Inabayama Castle Observatory.

Saito Ryuxing hugged two dancers while playing and drinking and having fun, and not far away, several dancers danced to the beat of the drums.

Since the Saito family was defeated by Oda Nobunaga last year when the situation was dominant, Saito Ryuxing began to indulge in alcohol and did not ask about political affairs. In this regard, Mamoru Ando and the others were naturally very dissatisfied, but at the same time, they were secretly happy, because in this case, they would have more opportunities to defeat the rival faction.

Therefore, since then, the struggle between the two major factions of East and West Mino has become more and more intense. But fortunately, they hadn't lost their heads yet, and they knew that there was a strong enemy on Owari's side staring at Mino with fierce eyes, but they didn't do anything too out of the ordinary. It's just that obviously, Mino, has reached the most critical moment.

A rush of footsteps came, and Saito Ryuxing immediately frowned, but then, he returned to his lustful appearance, and kept rubbing in the arms of the beautiful women around him.

"Whoa!"

The door was rudely opened, and then I saw Ando Mori, Nagai Michitoshi and other important ministers standing at the door angrily. When those dancing girls and others saw this, they immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

It's just a pity that Saito Ryuxing didn't seem to see it, he just picked up the wine glass slowly, and looked ahead casually with his shrugging eyelids, and he didn't know if he was looking at the many important ministers in front of him or the wine glass.

"What's the reason why you're all here?" Saito Ryuxing asked unhurriedly, with an attitude that made him not care if the sky fell.

"Lord!" Mamoru Ando took a step forward, calmed down and said respectfully, "My lord! Something is wrong.,The ninja lurking in Owari returns.,The Oda family and the Asai family have concluded an alliance by marriage.。 ”

Well, this matter can be said to be a very serious matter, and anyone with a little bit of brains can see what a disadvantageous situation the Saito family will be in if this alliance is formed. At that time, once the two families attack at the same time, how will the Saito family resist? You must know that there was only one Oda family at the beginning, and it was almost pushed all the way to Inabayama Castle.

It's just that Saito Ryuko didn't seem to be aware of the seriousness of this matter at all, and still said unhurriedly, "Oh? Didn't the main family also form an alliance with the Roxagonal family? ”

"My lord! The Rokkaku family is now competing for hegemony in Kinai with the Tayama family and the Miyoshi family, and I am afraid that they have no heart or ability to help the main family. Another person stood up, but it was Nagai Michitoshi, and the two of them who had been fighting a lot before actually joined hands here, obviously the in-law alliance of Oda and Asai made them no longer in the mood to fight.

"Oh, got it." Saito Ryuxing said lightly, and then waved his hand, signaling that Mamoru Ando could go down.

But before they came, they had already ventilated with each other, so how could they be sent away by Saito Ryuxing so easily?

"My lord! The Asai and Oda alliances, once they attack their own family at the same time, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, the family must prepare in advance and not wait for the other party to do it first! Mamoru Ando said loudly.

"My lord! The subordinates suggested that they immediately send someone to contact the Guan family, the Akabori family and other wealthy families in Ise Province for foreign assistance. As soon as the Oda family attacked, they immediately sent troops to attack Owari. Michitoshi Nagai said repeatedly.

Subsequently, the other retainers also spoke, in a word, the Saito family must respond immediately.

But......

"Oh, I see, I'll leave it to you......" Saito Ryuxing yawned and said impatiently. Then, without giving everyone a chance to speak, he left through the side door with two beautiful women.

"My lord! Lord! Mamoru Ando and the others hurriedly shouted, but Saito Ryuxing didn't stop at all. At this moment, everyone was stupid.

"What should I do?" Mamoru Ando looked at Michitoshi Nagai with a headache, and for the first time in years, he had turned to his old rival for help.

"I don't know." It's a pity that Nagai Michitoshi didn't know what to do at this time, he shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and sighed.

After a long silence, Inaba Ryotsu said in a deep voice, "Let's prepare our armaments first, so that no matter what, at least we have fulfilled our responsibilities as a retainer." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Nagai Michitoshi sighed helplessly, said, and left without saying hello.

"Let's go too." Mamoru Ando didn't get angry when he saw this, greeted the two of them and left directly.
