'Yo!' The famous general's coming! "When I walked into the Oda Nobunaga waiting room, Nakamura Kazuji shouted a joke in a strange tone, and Kanamori Nagajin went inside to inform me.

"What! Unworthy? I've shot it with a knife! I raised my face cooperatively, looking like a villain. The Battle of Katryuji Castle made me famous, and I entered the ranks of famous generals in one fell swoop. He destroyed more than 3,000 enemies (most of them were killed by themselves), won 57 well-known samurai from the Saigo family and the following three good families, captured countless booty, and suffered less than 100 casualties.

Let me explain in detail: In fact, my actions in this operation were in response to Miyoshi Masayasu's judgment, and most of them were bluffs. First of all, I sent Ishikawa Tadsuna's ninjas to ambush at various important intersections, and without hesitation, I killed all the messengers between Miyoshi Masayasu and Araki Murashige, which made the already not very tacit cooperation even more confusing. Secondly, I divided the most elite 200 cavalry into small units and handed them over to Keiji Maeda and Kanosuke Yamanaka to lead and harass, and Miyoshi's Tanma was suppressed by me and lost his correct judgment of the surrounding situation, so when the Araki army approached, he changed his flag and launched an attack on Miyoshi's rear team, taking advantage of their brief confusion to accompany Nagashin's treacherous outfit to blend in, and shouting loudly when the front army was ambushed to shake the morale of the army. The fire of the former army was nothing more than 1,000 barrels of soybean oil that I urgently transferred from Kyoto, and the fence and the ground were poured all over the ground, but in fact, due to the lack of firewood and the weather began to turn cold again, the fire on the ground actually did not have much lethality, at most it was just a little skin! But when the soldiers of the Miyoshi Army saw that they were standing in the "sea of fire", they were naturally panicked, not to mention being under the fire of a large number of iron cannons! By the way, Saigo Ieji is right, I don't have so many iron cannons, it's not that I can't afford to equip them, but there is no one to equip them before, and now it's too late! I actually had the 50 in my hand, but when Nagano Yoshimasa made this suggestion, I had a whim, and I remembered a scene from "Mine Warfare", so I transferred a large number of firecrackers from Kyoto and set them off in iron barrels, and people around me were knocked down from time to time, so the ghost was in the mood to tell how many real and fake iron cannons there were! However, I didn't expect to take down Saigo Ieji in the first round of shooting.

There have been some things that have happened in the recent period, and one of them is that Shibata Katsuya has also made a surprising contribution. He broke through the Hexagonal Raid Army of 6,000 men with 1,000 men, and the allusion of "Shibata Broken Bottle" occurred, but it was still a little worse than the "great achievement" I established!

"Do you know your recent nickname?" Hidemasa Hori also came over with a hippie smile.

"I haven't heard of it! What is it? "I really haven't heard of it, but it's not a good thing to say, otherwise no one would have told me.

"Ghosts!" Kazushi Nakamura spoke first. "Now the people of Kyoto and even the whole of are rumoring that you are a 'ghost leader' who commands a group of youkai who can fly sand and spew fire! During the Battle of Saryuji Temple, it is said that someone saw with his own eyes: a group of demon knights covered in fire under your command rushed into the Miyoshi army, and all the Miyoshi soldiers who came close were immediately reduced to ashes, and said that they were all provided by you with blood and the hearts of children......"

"Isn't that ruining my reputation?" I shouted loudly, and at the same time understood why Keiji Maeda and the others didn't tell me about it. "They're all portrayed as 'them'!" I thought to myself.

"Reputation?" Hori Hidemasa shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said, "Do you still have that 'thing' now?" "I couldn't help but be exhausted by what he said.

"My lord, please come in!" At this time, Kanemori, who had just gone in to report, walked out.

***********************************************

"Subordinates meet the lord!" When I entered the room, I respectfully saluted Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting in the center.

"You're here, sit down!" He gestured to a spot close to him.

"Thank you, lord!" I sat down in that position.

"I really didn't expect it......" Oda Nobunaga's tone dragged on for a long time, and the emotions in it were mixed, relieved, regretful, surprised, and seemed to have something else. I've always thought I had a good eye for people, but this idea has been repeatedly denied to you! A cunning businessman, a shrewd politician, a capable pursuer, and now a brilliant general! What the hell are you? ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" I say it with the utmost humility. "The reason why this little bit of achievement has been achieved in the lower part is really due to the martial arts of the Oda family; Lord, your great blessings; The soldiers under his command ......"

"Gotcha, gotcha! You'd better stop talking nonsense like this! "Oda Nobunaga's impatient temper still hasn't changed." I don't really have any new opinions about your ability to be in battle, but there's no denying that your performance this time is really extraordinary! Tell me, how exactly did you do that? ”

In fact, his subordinates are indeed as the lord has always believed...... "I know Oda Nobunaga's basic opinion of me, that is, some clever but by no means a great person. I'm also trying to keep him that way, always fresh and not jealous. “…… That's it! I was a bit lucky to win, and of course my retainers also contributed a lot! ”

"Hmm...... It's basically the same as I thought! After listening to my briefing on "processing", Oda Nobunaga nodded and said. "Your retainers are very capable, this is something I already knew, but I didn't expect your guy's luck to be so ridiculously good!" There was a hint of envy in his tone. "Okay, I know the basics! You rest in Kyoto for a few days first, and I'll arrange for someone else to go to Katyuji Castle. As for the reward......" After thinking for a while, he said: "There are many people who have made meritorious contributions since the beginning of the army, plus this battle with Rokkaku and Miyoshi, so I will consider the overall situation in and make overall arrangements!" ”

"Yes!" I bowed my head and agreed. "But if my subordinates can do their part for the Oda family, they are already ......"

"Stop being insincere!" Oda Nobunaga waved his hand impatiently and interrupted my next "cliché". "Who will do what is not good? Even if you don't care, don't your people care? ”

"Yes!" I was embarrassed to say it. At this time, Kazushi Nakamura came in to deliver an urgent official document, and I decided to get up and take my leave.

"One more thing!" Oda Nobunaga said while reading the official document: "Recently, the various forces in have sent a lot of hostages, and it is inconvenient for me to bring them all back to Gibu. Just pick one and take it away! ”

"I won't ......," I was about to dismiss this thankless task, when I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if the Gamo family in Hino Castle has sent someone? ”

"There is such a person......" Oda Nobunaga thought for a moment. It seems to be a little boy! ”

"If possible......" I asked tentatively, "will you please give him to me?" ”

"Okay, take it!" His eyes did not take his eyes off the document as he said this.

"Thank you, lord, the minister will retreat first." Seeing Oda Nobunaga nodding, I walked out the door.

"You wait first!" Oda Nobunaga seemed to suddenly remember something, and closed the official document in his hand. "You guy always takes advantage of me unknowingly, I'll have to be careful this time! Someone, go find the hostage I sent from the Gamo family for me! ”

"Yes!" The attendant who was waiting outside the door agreed.
