Half a month after the wonderful tea party, Oda Nobunaga finally remembered that it was time to be with the retainers to sum up the next specific work arrangements, and then he sent out a notice to meet at the Nijo Castle Imperial Palace. I don't know if it's because it's too annoying or for the purpose of secrecy, there are not many people who attended this time, except for the seven people we were enshrined this time, that is, some old people from Owari such as Lin Tongsheng, Ikeda Hengxing, Maeda Toshiie, etc., and none of the daimyo and the old men of the castle lord's family came, a total of less than thirty people.

"Big brother, it's a day gone!" On the pine corridor leading to the conference room, I ran into Ikeda Tsuneko with a happy face.

"Look at your smug virtue, no wonder people say that the little man in happiness is the most annoying!" I couldn't help but joke when I saw him regain his spirits.

"It's really not clear, and the truth is not clear! I said, why have you always been so popular, it turns out that this is the reason! With that, he sighed and kept shaking his head, looking bitter and regretful.

"Why didn't you go to the tea party?" The two of us walked forward together, and I inquired about the situation of Ah Shi from the side. Not going to the tea party must have been her opinion, and Ikeda Tsuneko is indispensable for this kind of thing.

"It's that she doesn't want to go!" Ikeda Tsuneko said so. "She hasn't completely changed her mood yet, and she doesn't want to see too many acquaintances! In particular...... "He didn't continue, but I could already hear Oda Nobunaga's name."

"Hey!" Walking around a corner to see that there was no one around, I pulled him behind a big tree. "You kid didn't 'sell' me, did you?" I asked quietly.

"You see, how can that!" He replied in the same low voice: "I said that I arranged everything myself, and that I couldn't talk to her too many details just to be safe!" ”

"She believes it?"

"This ...... It's hard to say! Ikeda shook his head uncertainly after thinking for a moment, but immediately added: "But I can see that she is very excited, I should believe that the two children are still alive!" ”

"Didn't she ask to see the child?" In this thrill of walking a tightrope, I'm really afraid that this woman won't be able to deal with it calmly.

"No, she even asked me to contact them as little as possible!"

"That's good! When the time comes, I'll arrange for them to come back. "Now I'm basically relieved that there are no loopholes for the people involved in this matter. At this moment, someone in the distance walked towards this side, and the two of us pretended to be okay and walked towards the conference room.

"Everyone's worked hard!" When Oda Nobunaga appeared in front of us, his face was relaxed and happy. Although the recent attempt to persuade Emperor Shokincho to retire failed, I know that he has recently been compensated in other ways. "It's really hard, I'm not just talking about the recent war, but everyone's efforts over the years!" Once seated, he waved the folding fan in his hand and motioned for us to sit up straight.

"Thank you for your concern, I am willing to do my best for the Oda family!" We use our voices to show that we are ready to take on new tasks at any time.

"The family's henchmen for many years have been in great trouble with the destruction of Asai and Asakura, Takeda Shingen is dead, and Katsuri Xiao'er is not afraid! I also wanted everyone to take a break......" Oda Nobunaga said regretfully, but there was irrepressible excitement in his eyes. "Under the condition of being isolated and helpless, I thought that those thieves of the Yizong would be more interesting, and I didn't want that there would always be people in this world who jumped out to find death! Tomita Nagashi, in collusion with Kaga's Shimoma Yoriteru and Nanori Yorishu, killed the Echizen guards Katsura Nagatoshi and Asakura Keigami, who I appointed, and now their troops have taken control of most of Echizen! Oda Nobunaga's words caused a whisper.

I also showed the right amount of shock. Things did move very quickly, but I had already learned most of the contents during the gestation stage, and I knew that Oda Nobunaga was the driving force behind the aforementioned conspiracy. This was the beginning of the operation to purge the old forces of Echizen, and I even knew what Oda Nobunaga had not yet said, and what had not yet happened.

"But the great cause of my Oda family's world martial arts is protected by God, and it can't be shaken by a few grasshoppers!" Seeing this effect of preceding others, Oda Nobunaga was very satisfied, and his mood was even more high-spirited. “…… Before I could send a large army to conquer here, they were in chaos first! Because of the uneven distribution of spoils, Tomita Changfan was killed by Qili Lai Zhou. Now the old Echizen clan and the people of the Ichiji clan are suspicious of each other, and this is a great opportunity for this family! ”

"Lord!" Before Oda Nobunaga's voice fell, Shibata Katsuya took the lead in expressing his position. "Since the monks of the Yizong Sect don't know the height of the sky, then the lord might as well fulfill them! Weichen is willing to lead his men and horses to smash his lair, not only to retake Echizen, but also Kaga and Echichu must also take it for the lord! ”

"Okay, worthy of being the first fierce general of my Oda family!" Oda Nobunaga praised him for his self-recommendation. "Kwon Six! I appoint you as the general of the Northern Expedition, lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Echizen, and raise troops in seven days. ”

"Yes! Thank you for the cultivation! "Shibata Katsuya five-body throwing.

I noticed that "Monkey" obviously wanted to fight for this task just now, but he was preempted by Shibata Katsuie. He lowered his head slightly to hide the look of remorse, and at the same time cast two resentful glances at Shibata Katsuie.

"The matter of Hokuriku has been decided, let's talk about other things!" In fact, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to find the "hearts" of the important ministers, but Oda Nobunaga obviously does not have such interest. "Yonegoro, I'll leave the matter of Kii and Shikoku to you!" In order, the second called Niwa Nagahide. "Kii's Saga people are not easy to deal with, and the time is not yet ripe to directly cross the sea to attack Shikoku! Your main mission is to strengthen the family's power in the region, while also focusing on combating the harassment of Miyoshi and the assistance of the Mori Command Nojima Naval Army to Honganji. In order to strengthen the inadequacy of your sea power, I have put the Shima Navy under your system! ”

"Weichen will live up to the expectations of the lord!" Niwa Nagahide is adamant, but I'm not optimistic about what he's going to achieve.

When he turned his head again, Oda Nobunaga's face sank. "Shinsheng, you have disappointed me so much in the past two years! Not only did he not advance an inch in the siege of Honganji, but he also sent troops several times without the slightest merit. This time I sent someone to share the pressure on you from both sides, if you ...... again Hmph, hum! Two sneers floated out of the gap between the bitten back molars.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord! Sakuma Nobumori was sweating profusely and kowtowing repeatedly.

"Monkey! You go to Sanyo......" Oda Nobunaga actually skipped me, and many people peeked at me after being stunned. "I'm very optimistic about you, come on!" Oda Nobunaga said after some arrangement. In order to compensate for the lack of reinforcements, the "monkey" was directly appointed as the Harima Guardian.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Fujiyoshiro will definitely be crushed to pieces!" From a humble background, he finally became a prince of a big country, and he was so excited that he burst into tears for a while.

"I'm very satisfied that you can all have this attitude!" Oda Nobunaga really showed a smile of relief, but his eyes never met me, and even if he did, he swept away. "The next few years will be a critical moment for the Oda family to take control of the world, and I hope that you will continue to maintain the firm will of the past, work hard and work hard, and establish an immortal miracle! Alright, adjourn now! With that, he got up and left.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Coming to the corridor, Ikeda asked me quietly.

"It's okay, what can I do?" I smiled freely and said, "It's not that you don't know who I am, and you have never taken the initiative to fight for the task yourself." Isn't it nice to see that the lord is so 'compassionate' for me? ”

"How can Meiyu hide in the mountains for a long time!" Hideyoshi Hashiba came over at this time and happened to hear my words, and he comforted me very "kindly". He saw that Ikeda Hengxing was a little unnatural, but he disguised the past with great speed. "Now the lord is using troops on all sides at the same time, I'm afraid he wants to keep your strong team as a backup! Seriously, I'm going deep into Harima with 5,000 people, and since it's so close, there's no need to trouble you! ”

"It's easy to say! If there are no more, two or three thousand people can be transferred to you at any time. "I know that he doesn't want me to send too many people, even if he is in trouble, lest he fail to show his merits, and two or three thousand men are just right.

"It is worthy of His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou, in the end, he has self-knowledge!" Shibata Katsuya walked over with his chest and toes on his belly proudly, and the sullenness that he had been holding back for a halfway monk like me could be regarded as venting this time. "San'in is a good place, Your Highness of the Stars can live for the rest of your life! Ha, ha, ha......" He laughed arrogantly and walked forward, glaring at Hideyoshi Hashiba and Tsuneko Ikeda.

"Old immortal!" Ikeda Hengxing gritted his teeth and scolded.

"That's it! Something......" The "monkey" stared at the distant back, and his eyes were a little red. Out of the common hostility of Shibata Katsuie, he and Ikeda Tsuneko have a turn for the better because of the wasaki caused by Aichi.

Seeing this scene, I laughed silently in my heart. In order to counterbalance the non-traditional forces that are developing too quickly, Oda Nobunaga artificially promoted Shibata Katsuya, a die-hard among the Owari senators, and perhaps it was Shibata's lack of castle government that made him feel most at ease. But he also just ignored a problem: Shibata, the "hedgehog", has contradictions with almost all people who are not members of the Owari martial arts school, and his promotion has made the faction within the Oda family simple! All the people who had a gap with Shibata (quite a few of them) were temporarily connected, which made my situation stable. I'm like Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty now, but Yingbu, Peng Yue, and **** are all clearly standing with me, and even Zhou Bo, Fan Xu, and Guan Ying are all gathered around me. As soon as Oda Nobunaga wanted to move me, those people would think that Shibata had provoked the beginning of the "purge", and I dare not say that they would all be opposed, but the people who stood on their own and ran away were enough to cause the Oda family's edifice to collapse. Oda Nobunaga now wants to "dry" me first, since that's the case......

"How's it going?" When I returned to the mansion, Xianzhi and Ying were packing their things.

"Almost!" Xianzhi straightened up and casually closed the top lid of a box. "I came in too much of a hurry, and there weren't a few of them!"

"How can this work?" I shook my head and said, "That's not good, go back and ask them to send more things for daily use!" Including the kids's! ”

"Sent?" Ying asked suspiciously, "Aren't we leaving?" ”

"Let's go, we'll leave tomorrow!" I picked up a few books on the table and began to stack them in the box. "Our family lives in Katsura Kawaguchi Castle!"

"Why?" The warbler is even stranger.

"Little fool!" I reached out and scratched her little nose. "Summer is coming, and the shores of Lake Biwa are cooler than Kyoto!"
