Although Oda Yoshinobu arranged a good dismount, Oda Nobunaga still did not agree with Oda Yoshinobu's idea of scaring Ashikaga Yoshiaki with artillery, although if he did, there was indeed a great chance of scaring Ashikaga Yoshiaki's and urine out.

It's not that Oda Nobunaga suddenly came to the Buddha's heart, it's just that he thinks that if that kind of thing really happens, neither Ashikaga Yoshiaki nor the Oda family will be able to get off the stage. Oda Nobunaga knows very well how much those incompetent ministers value face, what if Ashikaga Yoshiaki feels embarrassed and runs away in an instant? Or what if you anger the Oda family?

Although Oda Nobunaga was not afraid of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's anger, if it affected Joraku's plan because of this, then Oda Nobunaga really couldn't find a place to cry.

And now, Oda Nobunaga feels that it is just right, which not only plays the role of Liwei, so that Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not dare to underestimate the Oda family anymore, and at the same time it will not go too far, so that both sides will not be able to get off the stage. Just look at Ashikaga Yoshiaki who immediately got out of the sedan chair to help up Oda Nobunaga, who bent down and saluted, and talked to him in a kind tone.

In the Gifu Castle Castle Tower, Ashikaga Yoshiaki sits at the top, flanked by Hosokawa Fujitaka and other shoguns, and Akechi Mitsuhide is also among them. And Oda Nobunaga led Oda Yoshinobu, Shibata Katsuie, Hayashi Hidesada and other important ministers to sit in the lower position.

After the ceremony, Ashikaga Yoshiaki immediately couldn't wait to ask about Shangluo, "I wonder when the Oda family will be able to send troops to help me Shangluo?" ”

"Next month!" Oda Nobunaga said categorically, "Next month, the family will send troops to help His Royal Highness the General Kamiraku!" ”

"Really...... Are you sure? Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and asked with an excited face. Although Oda Nobunaga had asked Akechi Mitsuhide to convey his meaning before, after all, he didn't say the specific time, and he didn't say it in person. Now, Oda Nobunaga not only promised to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki in person, but also indicated that he would do so next month. In this case, how to keep Ashikaga Yoshiaki from excited?

"It's true!" Oda Nobunaga looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said lightly.

"Good! Good! That's great! The Oda family was indeed a loyal servant of the shogunate! Ashikaga Yoshiaki shouted excitedly, and it could be seen that he was very excited. But this is also normal, you must know that at this time, more than half a year has passed since Ashikaga Yoshiteru was assassinated. In the past six months, Ashikaga Yoshiaki can dream every night that he has finally inherited the position of the general of the Seiyi, and under his leadership, the general's family has regained the power of the world.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the dream is, you still have to wake up after all, and the more beautiful the dream, the more cruel the reality often becomes. In the face of Rokkaku's betrayal, Asakura's other plans, Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally sadly found that he was so far away from the position of general.

And now, Oda Nobunaga has once again given Ashikaga Yoshiaki hope, and this hope seems to be very likely to become a reality, how can this not make Ashikaga Yoshiaki excited and excited? I'm afraid that if it weren't for his identity, he would probably jump up with excitement now.

At this moment, Oda Nobunaga suddenly said loudly, "Your Highness the General, I have a reluctant request from you, and I don't know if His Highness the General can agree." ”

"Mr. Kami, if there is something to do, just say it." Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard this, and said with a smile after sitting down again.

"I hope Mitsuhide can help you." Oda Nobunaga glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide and said in a deep voice.

"Mitsu-so?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide suspiciously, only to see that he was looking at Oda Nobunaga in disbelief, and then at Oda Nobunaga, and his serious appearance didn't seem to be a joke.

"Your Highness ......" on the side of Hosokawa Fujitaka was quite anxious to dissuade, although he and Akechi Mitsuhide have not known each other for a long time, but they know Akechi Mitsuhide's talent very well, and at the same time have a deep friendship with him, naturally I don't want Oda Nobunaga to give away Akechi Mitsuhide because of Oda Nobunaga's words.

It's a pity that for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it doesn't matter at all whether it's wise Mitsuhide or something. As long as Oda Nobunaga is willing to help him succeed him as general, everything else is easy to say. Moreover, he himself doesn't like Akechi Mitsuhide very much, because until now, he blamed Akechi Mitsuhide's inability to help him with Shangluo's inability to do things.

So after hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded and agreed without any hesitation, "I see, then Mitsuhide, from today on, you will follow Mr. Kamitsuke." ”

"Your Highness......" Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki with a complicated expression. At this point, he didn't know what he was feeling. You must know that not long ago, he also hoped that he could help the revival of the shogunate as a minister of the shogunate, but where did he think that he would be given to Oda Nobunaga by Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the blink of an eye?

If you think about it carefully, after Akechi Mitsuhide was killed in Saito Michizo, it was because he was dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga and hoped to inherit Saito Michizo's ambition that he left Mino with his wife and cousin Hidemitsu, and I don't know how much suffering he and his family have suffered over the years. But now? He even became a retainer of the Oda family.

"So, what have I been doing all these years?" Akechi Mitsuhide thought dejectedly. Scenes of the past continue to hover in the mind of Akechi Mitsuhide, Saito Michizo's teachings, and Gui Die, Yoshiryu and Yi Yi classmates, the first time in battle, study iron cannons, Yoshiryu rebels, and travels the world...... Finally, until meeting with Oda Nobunaga.

"What are you thinking?" A voice woke Akechi Mitsuhide from his memory, and when he looked up, it was Oda Nobunaga. I saw him squatting in front of Wise Mitsuhide, with a strange smile. And the surroundings have long been empty.

Hearing this, although Akechi Mitsuhide had no desire to speak, the samurai education that had already been carved into his bone marrow still made him confess to the new lord in front of him, "I am recalling the past of my subordinates." ”

"Hahahaha......" Oda Nobunaga immediately stood up and laughed after listening to Akechi Mitsuhide's explanation. There was no irony in that laughter, but for some reason, Akechi Mitsuhide felt that with Oda Nobunaga's laughter, a feeling of anger in his heart was wildly encroaching on his brain.

Just when Akechi Mitsuhide was about to take it anymore, Oda Nobunaga stopped laughing, turned his head to look at Akechi Mitsuhide and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to come?" ”

Hearing this, Wise Mitsuhide slowly shook his head. He really didn't know, although he thought of several reasons for himself, but each one couldn't convince himself.

Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga said lightly, "Your knowledge, martial arts, and strategies for commanding the army are all of the highest quality, but these are not the biggest reasons why I asked His Highness the General to ask you to come over." Saying this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly squatted down, stared at Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes tightly and said in a deep voice, "The most important thing is that I see a strong ambition in your eyes, that ambition to prove yourself!" ”

In a word, Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Oda Nobunaga's smiling eagle eyes, his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

"Although my approach today is very inauthentic, I believe you should know very well that under the command of His Royal Highness the General, you will not get a chance to show your talents. And I, on the other hand, can help you realize your ambitions! Finally, Oda Nobunaga slowly stood up and walked outside.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Oda Nobunaga's back in a daze, and inexplicably felt that somewhere in his heart was suddenly touched. Move? I can't say yet. But Akechi Mitsuhide was indeed infected by Oda Nobunaga's words, and his heart, which was still decadent and dead just now, sent out new firepower again.

It's just that at this moment, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly heard Oda Nobunaga muttering softly, "It's really like kumquat, huh...... Kumquat Head ...... Haha......"

In the midst of laughter, Oda Nobunaga disappeared into the eyes of Akechi Mitsuhide, slowly stretched out his hand, touched his smooth forehead, recalled Oda Nobunaga's thick hair, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "What a strange person...... It seems that the big fool of Owari still retains the style of the past......"

Well...... As an aside, the samurai of this era would shave off their front hair after the Yuan suit, leaving only the two sideburns and the back hair, which is the so-called moon head. This is a tradition that has been passed down from ancient times, as the samurai felt that this hairstyle would not be blocked by their hair.

And historically, Oda Nobunaga and they all had this hairstyle. However, because of the appearance of Oda Yoshinobu, after he kept emphasizing how ugly this hairstyle was, and proved with his strength that the ultimate reason for being killed because of the hairstyle was only because he was too weak, Oda Nobunaga grew his hair again.

However, it is a pity that Maeda Toshiya and others did not follow suit, but Oda Yoshinobu's subordinates all had their own exclusive hairstyles.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he was about to find someone to ask him where he would live in the future, when he suddenly found that not far away, a man in white with long hair was standing there looking at him.

"The family governor and the god of war are not normal, but they can make the world look sideways......" Akechi Mitsuhide thought speechlessly as he looked at the visitor. The person he knew, it was Yoshinobu Oda.

"Hehe, kumquat head, this nickname is pretty good~ How about making this kind of logo in your pocket in the future? Others will exclaim when they see it, it's Kumquat Head's troops! Oda Yoshinobu walked over with a smirk on his face, and kept making jokes.

Hearing this, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly said angrily, "As the god of war of the Oda family, you are eavesdropping on the words of the family governor and other retainers, is it really good to do this?" Speaking of which, Akechi Mitsuhide himself thought it was very strange, obviously the word kumquat head should be a similar derogatory term, but I don't know why, from the mouths of Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu, he didn't feel his anger and unhappiness at all. Yes, just deep helplessness.

"Hehe, brother, he didn't say that he wasn't allowed to eavesdrop~ And I'm listening openly, it's just that you didn't notice me~" Oda Yoshinobu shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Humph!" Wise Mitsuhide snorted when he heard this, and looked around to find someone to take him to his residence. When Yoshinobu Oda, who used to be called Yamada Masamura, traveled to Mino, he once asked Michizo Saito for advice. At that time, although it was only a few days, there was a spark of friendship between Yoshinobu Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled and said, "No need to look for it, my brother asked me to arrange a place for you to live." So ~come with me obediently~"

"Alas......" Hearing this, Akechi Mitsuhide sighed helplessly, although they had been together for a few days before, Akechi Mitsuhide knew Oda Yoshinobu's temper very well. So he knew very well that he couldn't escape today. I just thought of the rumors of Oda Yoshinobu's god of wine...... "Let's talk about it first, my alcohol consumption is not good!" Akechi Mitsuhide opened his mouth and confessed.

"Don't worry, with your small body, I can resist 10!" Yoshinobu Oda patted his chest and smiled.

In the end, Oda Yoshinobu did not break his promise, and took Akechi Mitsuhide, who was so drunk that he completely passed out, back to the mansion arranged for him by Oda Nobunaga.

"Cut, a man full of lies, he doesn't drink well, and the guy who gets drunk with one glass is embarrassed to raise the amount of alcohol?" Oda Yoshinobu scolded and threw Akechi Mitsuhide to the maid who had been arranged a long time ago, and then returned to the tavern again, where there were still Maeda Toshiya and others, Oda Yoshinobu didn't want to bear the name of finding an excuse to escape.

The next day, Oda Nobunaga held an assessment, and after introducing Akechi Mitsuhide to everyone, Oda Nobunaga stated the purpose of the evaluation.

"The family will raise troops in Shangluo next month to help His Royal Highness the General succeed to the post of General Zhengyi!" Oda Nobunaga looked around at the crowd and announced loudly.

"Whoa, whoa!" The Oda family shouted frantically.

Shangluo, they have been looking forward to it since the capture of Mino, and this day has finally come. And Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was listening on the sidelines, was even more excited, he didn't expect Oda Nobunaga to move so fast, and he announced that he was going to Luoluo the next day.

"Xiuzhen, you are responsible for contacting the forces in various parts of, and let them raise troops together to help His Royal Highness the General Shangluo."

"Yes!"

"Changxiu, it's up to you to contact the imperial court and let them get all the matters related to the succession of General Zhengyi as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"The rest of you, train the reservists, check and equip the equipment in the armory!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Oda Nobunaga stood up, looked at everyone and said loudly, "Everyone, this Shangluo will be the most critical battle for the family, and we must play the prestige of the family!" ”

"Whoa, whoa!"

A huge shout resounded through the castle tower. Looking at such a scene, the excitement in Oda's confidence was indescribable, "This moment has finally come!" ”
