After getting Oda Nobunaga's consent, the Horiya family went directly to Osaka Castle.
"Uh...... That's all of you? Oda Yoshinobu looked at the five people in front of him painfully, "You dare to call it a family at this point?" No wonder it hasn't been around for decades. Oda grumbled confidently.
"Yes, the rest are left to the successors of the realm. The only people who are directly related to the Hori clan are us. Horihide said loudly as he bowed to the ground.
"Alright then, Kikuchiyo, from today onwards, you will officially be my retainer. But as a samurai, you have to have a loud name to ......," Oda Yoshinobu said after a moment's thought.
"Back to the lord! Just before he came, my father had already helped his subordinates hold a Yuan Dress Ceremony and named it Xiuzheng! "Kikuchiyo, oh, it's Hidemasa Hori who said respectfully.
"Hidemasa Hori? Good name! After Oda Yoshinobu praised it, he said to Hori Hidemasa, "Then from today on, you don't have to go to the academy, follow Hua Mei and Shigeji to help them deal with government affairs." Well...... It's 500 stones. ā
"Yes!" Hori Hidemasa said excitedly. Speaking of which, the total stone height of their family is only more than 700 stones. Tsk, what a pitiful one......
After getting Hori Hidemasa, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head and looked at the others again, well, in fact, he just looked at another young man who looked to be less than 20 years old, "What's your name?" What will happen? Naturally, he didn't seem to have anything to do and wanted to chat with them, it was just because he remembered that among the samurai surnamed Hori, there seemed to be another person who was right, and his ability seemed to be good.
"Back to my lord, the villain's name is Naomasa Hori, and he knows a little about government affairs." Hearing this, Hori Naomasa hurriedly responded.
"Really?" Oda Yoshinobu didn't expect that he would be on the right spot when he asked so casually, after all, because he only had a little impression of these two names, he really didn't know how good Hori's ability was. However, after asking a few casual questions, Oda Yoshinobu really found, "This kid is not bad......
As a result, Oda Yoshinobu also accepted Hori Naomasa as a retainer, and like Hori Hidemasa, they were both 500 koku of Yuroku. As for Hideshige Hori, after some questioning, Oda Yoshinobu found that this guy was really just better than a commoner. In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu told him very bluntly that he would not put away as a retainer.
But Hori Hideshige didn't care, after all, he was already old, and he had already understood his ability after fighting for half his life. Moreover, his son and nephew have become retainers of Oda Yoshinobu, and the sum of them is 1,000 koku, which is 300 koku more than his original territory, how can this not satisfy him?
Two new good retainers were accepted, but Oda Yoshinobu didn't care, and at this time, he had more experience and was still focused on the preparation for the attack on Ise Province. He didn't plan to take a large army with him, after all, through Kato Danzo's report, he also had a certain understanding of the terrain of Ise Province.
It was mountainous and forested, and there were no roads suitable for the passage of large armies, and in many places there were no roads at all. At the same time, in the forest, there are many traps laid by Iga ninjas. A careless, or even if careful, non-combat attrition is inevitable.
"It's no wonder that the Iga people have been able to occupy the entire country of Iga for so many years, but no force has been able to pacify it." Oda Yoshishi thought confidently. It's easy for Yoshinobu Oda to imagine the problems that those troops might have faced in the past when attacking Ise.
Traveling through difficult mountain trails, traps sometimes cause injuries and even deaths, and there may be a sneak attack by Iga's ninjas at any time. If this situation continues, even if they can reach the castle of the Iga people safely, what morale will they have to fight?
"I guess that's how the tea whisk pill lost in history." Oda Yoshinobu thought to himself. Tea whisk maru is the young name of Oda Nobuo, at this time he is 8 years old, for him, Oda Yoshinobu has only one thought, that is, a bear child.
"Tsk, why do you think Iga is so much like the sect in those martial arts novels? With his strong strength, all kinds of contempt for the imperial court ......" Thinking of this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly had an idea, "If you think of the Iga people as a martial arts sect, wouldn't it be better to just bring a few masters to kill them?" ā
Thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu recruited Kato Duanzo to tell him about his idea.
"Never, my lord! Although the Iga people do not train their troops like other forces, they still have hundreds of ninjas under their command. If you add those civilians who know a little bit of ninjutsu, I'm afraid you can pull up a ninja army of thousands of people. Kato Duanzang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded.
"I'm not going to fight them head-on, I'm just taking some people directly to find the three husbands of Baidi. With what you know about Iga, and if we only bring masters, do you think we'll be discovered? Yoshinobu Oda smiled.
"Yes...... But the lord of your golden body, how can you easily get into danger?! When Kato Duanzo heard this, he suddenly didn't know how to persuade him, after all, he wasn't playing with his mouth. Thinking told him that this idea seemed to be a good idea, and as long as Santai Hyakchi saw the terrifying strength of Oda Yoshinobu, he would definitely choose to submit.
It's just that his reason is telling him that this will never work! Even if he knew that Oda Yoshinobu's martial arts were all over the world, and ninjutsu was unpredictable, but ...... If something goes wrong, then Kato Duanzo will be to blame even if he dies.
"Risky? Haha~ Then there is also a risk to wade! Oda Yoshinobu laughed when he heard this, and it was clear that he had the urge to turn this idea into action. But this is also normal, after all, Oda Yoshinobu was influenced by Jin Yong and other masters in his previous life, and he liked the duel of various martial arts masters very much.
Seeing this, Kato Duanzo could only say helplessly, "In that case, please allow your subordinates to tell Lord Ning Ning about this matter." "Okay, if you can't persuade yourself, let Oda Yoshinobu's woman persuade you. That's how simple Kato Duanzo's idea is.
"Uh......" Oda Yoshinobu heard this, and immediately looked at Kato Duanzo unhappily, but he also knew that it was for his own good. Helpless, Oda Yoshinobu could only say, "No need, I will hold an assessment to discuss this matter at that time." ā
Hearing Oda Yoshinobu say this, Kato Duanzo didn't say anything more. However, after a few days, Oda Yoshinobu still did not hold a judgment because he had not thought about what he should say at all. After all, how many people did the head of the family run behind enemy lines to kill the enemy leader? This kind of thing is impossible for even an ordinary small family to do, let alone the fact that Oda Yoshinobu is so powerful now?
Just when Oda Yoshinobu kept thinking of a reason, a guest came to Osaka Castle.
"Anguoji Huiqiong? Messenger of the Maori family? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Chiyo Mochizuki in surprise, and couldn't understand why the people of the Maori family came to look for him. Not to mention that there are several countries between the Oda family and the Mori family, so even if you want to find it, you should go to Oda Nobunaga.
"Could it be that he also has a request from his own family, so he wants me to help him say good things?" Perhaps accustomed to the situation, Oda Yoshinobu thought of this reason again. But then he denied it, still the same as before, the Maori family and the Oda family could not have any contact within a few years, how could it be possible to ask for the head of the Oda family?
However, Oda Yoshinobu still invited Ankokuji Huiqiong in, after all, for Oda Yoshinobu, who was once obsessed with the game "Mori Gen Biography: Three Arrows Alliance", his good impression of the Mori family is second only to the Oda family.
And in his opinion, Mori Motoshi can be said to be more powerful than Oda Nobunaga, and can even be said to be the most capable person in the Warring States. After all, his starting point is lower than everyone else's. When Maori Yuan inherited the family governor, the Maori family was just a small wealthy family in Anyun, sandwiched between the two heroes of Nizi and Ouchi. Like Oda Nobunaga, Mori Gen also faced betrayal from his brother, but worse, he did not have the rich territory of Oda Nobunaga.
And now, Mao Li Yuan has used his wits to help the Mao Li family become the overlord of the Western Kingdom, although it took him a lifetime, but considering the difficulty of this hell, although the strongest Warring States may not be suitable, but the name of the first strategic general of the Warring States will definitely not be able to run away.
"Meet Oda-sama...... "Ankokuji Huiqiong said respectfully.
"No need to be polite, I don't know what is important for you to come here on behalf of the Maori family, Master Anguoji?" Yoshinobu Oda asked straight to the point.
Hearing this, Anguoji Huiqiong chuckled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the head of the family heard that the Oda family was successful, so he specially sent a little monk to congratulate His Royal Highness Oda." On the way home, I heard rumors about Oda-sama, so I wanted to come and meet you, too. ā
"Oh?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Ankokuji Huiqiong in surprise when he heard this, but he thought helplessly in his heart, "You are an idle egg, right?" ā
After a conversation, Ankokuji Huiqiong said goodbye and left, leaving Oda Yoshinobu alone over there with an inexplicable face.
More than ten days later, outside the city of Tsukiyama Tomita.
"How?" Mao Liyuan asked lightly.
"Oda Nobunaga has a good chance of becoming the overlord of the world." Anguosi Huiqiong said with a chuckle.
When Mao Liyuan heard this, he didn't care, and asked lightly, "What about Oda Yoshinobu?" ā
"Can't see through ......"
"Oh?" Mao Liyuan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled, "That's really interesting...... Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't see it......"
