Gifu Castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A dark shadow streaked by, and the guards standing at the gate didn't even have time to react. After a while, this black shadow stopped at His Excellency the Gifu Castle Castle Castle Castle, and then saw Oda Yoshinobu dodge and disappeared in place.

"Tsk, it seems that His Highness has made Yoshinobu angry again~" The flag warrior who guarded the gate of the castle tower thought to himself when he saw this.

"Brother, what the hell is going on? Suddenly called me over, you know, I'm crazy busy! As soon as Oda Yoshinobu came in, he shouted loudly and put himself in the position of a victim. Of course, he was also very busy during this time, the expansion of the cavalry, the expansion of the iron artillery team, and maybe the Serra who became enthusiastic when he saw his compatriots......

In the past, Oda Nobunaga would have opened his mouth to hurt Oda Yoshinobu again, and by the way, he would be pulled down from the victim's position and sit on it himself. But today, as soon as Oda Yoshinobu's voice fell, it was Oda Nobunaga's very bland and depressing words, "Look at this." With that, he handed a letter to Yoshinobu Oda

"What's going on?!" Oda Yoshinobu asked with a serious expression, and then quickly took the letter and read it. The content of the intelligence was so simple that it didn't even exceed 50 words. But such a simple content scared Oda Yoshinobu, "How is it possible?!" Oda Yoshinobu was shocked.

He couldn't help but be shocked, because on this piece of information, although only two very simple pieces of information were written, and the number of words did not even exceed 50 words, the news revealed between the lines was enough to shock the world.

On July 6, Takeda Shingen arrived in Odawara with an army of 10,000 and sent his retainer Sanada Yutaka to persuade him to surrender, and the Hojo family surrendered to the Uesugi family.

On July 18, the Mori family captured Bunzen and continued to lead their army to attack Bungo Province, the last territory of the Otomo family.

"It's true?!" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga in disbelief, even though he also knew that this information could not be faked. But Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi teamed up? This is even more incredible than the peace between Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Nodding slowly, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a serious expression and said, "I didn't believe it like you at the beginning, so I specially sent Santaifu and Naganobu to Bungo and Sagami respectively to investigate the situation. Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, we have to speed up." ”

"How much time is left?" Oda Yoshinobu sat down and asked solemnly.

From these two pieces of information, it is not difficult to draw two conclusions, the Uesugi family and the Takeda family have united, and the strength of the Mori family and the Uesugi family has skyrocketed again. Either way, there is no doubt that the Oda family is not what the Oda family wants to see. It can be said that with the strength of Uesugi and Mori now, even if you go one-on-one with the Oda family, you won't necessarily lose much, let alone a fierce tiger waiting for the opportunity to move.

Of course, neither Oda Nobunaga nor Oda Yoshinobu thought that the Mori family would unite with the Uesugi family or the Takeda family, but apparently, if the Mori family sent troops, would the Takeda family be idle? And the Takeda family sent troops, will the Uesugi family ignore it?

"According to the intelligence, the resistance of the Otomo family in Bungo is very strong, and it is not easy for the Maori family to take Otomo in a short time. And the Uesugi family has just forced the Hojo family to surrender, and they are definitely not willing to start a war with the main family immediately. If you add the time to prepare, it will take 2 or 3 years. Oda Nobunaga said with a frown.

"2, 3 years ......" Oda Yoshinobu also frowned, he suddenly found a very helpless thing, that is, at this time, the Oda family seems to have suddenly changed from active to passive. Because even if they knew that the Takeda family and the Uesugi family were united, the Oda family did not dare to act rashly at all, because at this time, there were still many forces around that had not yet been pacified, and if they attacked the Takeda family, then it was likely to attract the siege network again.

But what if you don't take the initiative? Over time, the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, and the Mori family will become stronger, and although the Oda family will also become stronger, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem to be favorable.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? Is it because of Lao Tzu's existence?! Oda Yoshishi thought depressedly in his confidence that in history, the Maori family's invasion of Kyushu had obviously failed, and Hojo had not officially surrendered until Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had unified the world, fought against Odawara.

However, this idea was quickly abandoned by him, after all, it had already happened, so what was the use of complaining? After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "Why don't you send an envoy to test the meaning of Uesugi Kenshin first?" The Takeda family and their enmity for so many years, Kawanakajima has suffered countless casualties, how can it be so simple to join forces?! ”

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded, "I think so too, I have already sent someone to Kyoto before, so that the imperial court can entitle Uesugi Kenshin as the two ministers, and prepare to send some family treasures or something." ”

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga in surprise, "It's rare for you kid to be so generous." ”

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga smiled bitterly, "If you can win over Uesugi Kenshin with these things, I will be willing to give it away." It's just a pity that he's not an idiot. ”

"Isn't that just a free ride?" Oda Yoshinobu immediately said when he heard this, but then, he understood what Oda Nobunaga meant, "Are you planning to use this to create a rift between him and the Takeda family?" ”

Nodding, Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice, "Yes, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family may have felt the pressure of their own family, or it was because the Takeda family took the initiative to show favor that they finally joined forces together." However, judging from the current information, there is no formal alliance between the Uesugi family and the Takeda family, so you might as well test it. At the same time, I am also preparing to have Santaifu and Nagasobu go to the territories of the Uesugi family and the Takeda family respectively to create conflicts. ”

"This can be had, but what about the Maori family?" As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Oda Nobunaga to speak, Oda Yoshinobu said directly, "I think we can let the monkeys speed up the co-optation of the forces of Settsu and Harima, and strive to take these two countries as soon as possible." At the same time, I will speed up the attack on Kii and Shikoku, at the very least, before the Takeda family or the other two families send troops, expand the battle line and stay away from! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

It's not that Oda Yoshinobu doesn't understand that if it expands, it will widen the battle line, but Oda Yoshinobu knows more about a sentence, keep the enemy out of the country! Although the Oda family has no country, it is clear that is the heart of the Oda family, and no matter what, the battlefield cannot be allowed to start in!
