"You know what? The Asai family has changed governors~" Kiyoshu Castle, Oda Yoshinobu sat in front of Oda Nobunaga and said casually. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, I heard that it's a kid named Kenmasa Asai. But I didn't expect that Asai Hisasa, the power maniac, would take the initiative to live in seclusion~ tsk. Oda Nobunaga said in some surprise, obviously a little puzzled by the result.

"Hehe, what else do you have to think of, I heard that kid admires you very much, and he actually changed his name to Asai Nagamasa." Oda Yoshinobu said with a cheap smile. He wanted to know if Oda Nobunaga at this time would have a good impression of Asai Nagamasa.

"Really?" Oda Nobunaga heard this, although his tone was very flat, but there was still a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. Well, after all, a teenager in his 20s is inevitably proud, not to mention that although Oda Nobunaga is much calmer on the surface, in Oda Yoshinobu's opinion, it has just become a sullen commotion.

"But I'm more concerned about that kid's actions after he succeeded as the governor of the family, and he actually divorced his wife, which is completely torn up with the Hexagonal family." Oda Nobunaga touched his chin and said meaningfully.

"Huh? Why, do you want to unite the Asai family? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga in surprise.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga shook his head, "Not so fast, at least before that kid shows enough strength, it's not worth us to unite." Oda Nobunaga's tone was full of confidence, but the current Oda family is indeed not comparable to a mere Asai family.

"Well, that's true." Oda Yoshinobu replied casually, and stopped talking about the topic, but turned to business. What's the matter? Naturally, it's a matter of attacking Mino.

"How's your preparation for the attack on Mino? Since that kid Yilong died, I'm afraid those guys have been boiling, right? Oda Yoshinobu said with a chuckle. Although he didn't go out of his way to investigate, he knew what those guys would think in the face of such a situation.

In fact, if he wasn't familiar with history, he would have felt that now was the best opportunity. After all, Saito Yoshiryu is dead, who else in Mino can resist the Oda family? Saito Ryuko? Stop it!

"What do you mean?" Oda Nobunaga asked instead of answering, he wanted to hear the opinion of his good sister-in-law.

Shrugging his shoulders, Oda Yoshinobu said casually, "Fight, I've been preparing for more than a year, why don't you fight?" You're not scared, are you? ”

Well, Oda Yoshinobu knows history, and in history, Oda Nobunaga has been attacking Mino since the death of Saito Yoshiryu, but most of the time, they have all been defeated. However, apparently, Oda Yoshinobu at this time preferred to believe what his eyes saw, that is, the Oda family was strong, stronger than the Saito family!

"That's what I'm going to do, I'm going to mobilize in the next few days." Oda Nobunaga nodded, and then said with some hesitation, "But what do you think of the Matsudaira family?" Personally, I think ......"

"You still want to ally with them, right?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga helplessly and said.

"Hmm. But if you really hate Matsudaira Motoyasu, it's okay not to ally. Oda Nobunaga nodded in response, but he didn't insist on an alliance. After all, he wants to ally with the Matsudaira family, but he just hopes that he will have a stable rear, and the current Matsudaira family obviously has no capital to stir up trouble with the Oda family, not to mention that Oda Nobunaga does not want to make Oda Yoshinobu dissatisfied because of such a thing.

Although he used to like Matsudaira Motoyasu very much, but he compared it with Oda Yoshinobu, well~ That's it.

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu's heart didn't mention how happy it was, for Oda Nobunaga to care so much, he should be one of the few people, right? But Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said, "I don't have any opinion, but I can't conclude any alliance treaty with the Matsudaira family, after all, we are much stronger than them......"

"I'll leave it to you?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu amusedly and said.

"I'll go, I'll go!" Oda Yoshinobu said happily that if he was to send an envoy to other great names, he would definitely not go. One brain, and the other is that he is not that material. But when he went to the Matsudaira family, he was absolutely not afraid to say. Anyway, it's a big deal~ Okay, this kid thinks really simply.

The matter was settled like a child's play, maybe whether it was Oda Nobunaga or Oda Yoshinobu, they didn't take the Matsudaira family in their eyes at all at this time.

Returning to Nakono Castle, Oda Yoshinobu immediately summoned all his retainers, including Fernand Dias. Well, although Nene was already able to run the business of the merchant hall independently at this time, Lilu Argot did not sit idle, but focused on studying the goods proposed by Oda Yoshinobu and the relationship with the Nanban people in Kai Town. So unless Oda Yoshinobu is specially summoned, she is basically either in Kai Town or Tsushima Town.

When everyone arrived, Oda Yoshinobu didn't talk nonsense, and directly said the purpose, "Let the Matsudaira family take refuge in the family!" Oda Yoshinobu said it lightly, as if the matter was a matter of hand. But as soon as the words came out, everyone frowned instantly.

"Lord, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy......" Shima Zuojin said with a frown. Now that Li Huamei is pregnant, the intelligence and other affairs that were originally handled by her were naturally transferred to Shimazuojin. Although he was not interested in these, he had no complaints, but did all the things in a down-to-earth manner.

Of course, at this time, Oda Yoshinobu did not have an intelligence force under his command at all, and all the intelligence gathering work was actually carried out by the ninja troops under Mori Kosei. It's just that when it is handed over to Oda Nobunaga, it will also be handed over to Oda Yoshinobu. Hawkers, Oda Yoshinobu's status in the Oda family is almost transcendental, a bit similar to Oda Nobumitsu during the Oda Nobuhide period. And he is the general in charge of defending Mikawa, which is also reasonable.

"Oh? Let's hear it~" Oda Yoshinobu asked with a chuckle, not seeming to be dissatisfied with Shimasa's words.

However, he didn't say anything about Dao Zuojin, but turned his head to look at Fernand Díaz and smiled, "Fernand, you have a high talent in intelligence, why don't you talk about it~"

Well, since Fernande D'Aas became a retainer of Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Yoshinobu handed him over to Shimazo to train him. However, Fernand Díaz is already old after all, and it is obviously unreliable to learn martial arts or something, so after asking Oda Yoshinobu, Shimazo asked him to be his deputy to deal with various affairs left by Li Huamei.

During this time together, Fernand Diasna's respectful, humble and hard-working attitude satisfied Shimazo. Although he became a monk halfway, Fernand Dias's work in intelligence really shocked Shimazuojin. Almost any subtle information, he seems to be able to see something different from it, although many places, it's just speculation, but the direction of his thinking and his strong observation ability make Shima Zuojin admire it very much.

So this time, he made a special gesture to Fernande Dias, hoping that he could show his ability in front of Oda Yoshinobu. Well, maybe Oda Yoshinobu didn't have many retainers, but there is no doubt that his retainers may be the most harmonious retainers of this era, without any intrigue at all. Well, of course, this is also because Oda Yoshinobu doesn't have many retainers at all, and there are no interests for them to compete for.

Well, off topic.

Shimazuo's words made everyone's eyes focus on Fernande Dias, their eyes were simple, puzzled and encouraging at the same time. For them, if Fernand Díaz really had something as good as Shimasako, it would definitely be a good thing for Oda Yoshinobu, because Oda Yoshinobu had too few retainers. At the same time, they also believe in Shimazuo and know that he never speaks big.

However, Oda Yoshinobu was different from the others, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Because he has long known that the ability of the character of Fernand Dias is indeed good, but he can't say where it is good. After all, in the Age of Discovery, the cultivation of characters is actually not too targeted, as long as the level goes up, everyone is about the same.

So hearing Shimasa's words, Oda Yoshinobu was looking forward to what Fernande Dias would say. At least, for his cultivation, Oda Yoshinobu can find a direction.

Seeing this, Fernand Dias was not timid, even though he had just joined Oda Yoshinobu and was not even proficient in Japanese.

"My lord, according to the intelligence, although the relationship between the Matsudaira family and the Imagawa family is not good, it is not something we can woo. Because Matsudaira Motoyasu, the governor of the Matsudaira family, had already sent his wife and children to Sunfu Castle as hostages. Fernand Diaz said in a deep voice.

Although his Japanese sounds rather awkward, he can still understand the general meaning.

"In addition, according to the information, the development of the Matsudaira family at this time is very dependent on the Imagawa family, even if Matsudaira Motoyasu doesn't care about his wife and children, unless the family gives them more assistance, it will ......" Fernand Diaz said, slowly shaking his head.

"Hmmm! That's a good point! Fernand, well done, keep up the good work in the future! Oda Yoshinobu applauded. For a foreigner who has just arrived here, Fernand Dias has been able to do this far, even if he is manned, but it is already remarkable.

Hearing this, Fernand Dias was not complacent, but respectfully returned to his position. Unlike many people, Fernand Dias was a mature child, and after all the things he had been through at sea, it felt as if nothing could shake his emotions.

"Fernando is right, the Matsudaira family really can't seem to be separated from the Imagawa family. But that's why we need to do it. Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

There was not much reaction to Oda Yoshinobu's words, and Shimazo was already familiar with Oda Yoshinobu's routines, and Fernand Dias naturally would not oppose Oda Yoshinobu's decision.

Mikawa, Okazaki Castle.

Matsudaira Motoyasu frowned and looked at the information in his hand, his face extremely sad.

"Alas, Saito Yoshiryu died of illness, and the new governor Saito Ryuko is only 13 years old......" Matsudaira Motoyasu said in a low voice, although he only said this, but where could Sakai Tadaji beside him not hear Matsudaira Motoyasu's concern?

"My lord, although Saito Ryuko is young, the three of them are still there, and there is no sign of rebellion from the other Mino families. I believe that no matter how strong the Oda family is, it will be difficult to capture Mino's ......," Sakai Tadaji hurriedly comforted. Although he didn't believe it himself.

The governor is the soul of a family, and directly represents the rise and fall of a family. Not to mention the distance, just looking at the Toki family, if it weren't for Toki Laiyi's inadequacy, how could he give Saito Michizo the opportunity to steal the country?

It's like the Imagawa family, after the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, if it weren't for the Imagawa clan really showing good ability, and more importantly, Shou Guini came forward to control the situation again, I'm afraid the Imagawa family would not be much better. But even so, didn't it give a half-hearted family like the Matsudaira family a chance to have other ideas?

And what about the Saito family? Although Saito Ryuxing's abilities are unknown, the trio are still very famous. But in Sakai's opinion, it is impossible for them alone to resist the attack of the Oda family.

And once the Oda family takes over Mino, the Oda family, which owns the two countries of Ono, will become an existence that is not inferior to the original Imagawa family. At that time, the Matsudaira family, which had a rather bad relationship with the Oda family, was going to be unlucky. After all, after the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, only the Matsudaira family of the Imagawa family has been harassing the Oda family. Although he was taught a lesson by Oda Yoshinobu, it was obvious that this matter could not be settled like this.

And most importantly, once the Oda family attacks Mikawa, the Imagawa family may not send troops to rescue them.

"Lord......" Sakai Tadaji thought of this, and was about to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.

However, Matsudaira Motoyasu chuckled at this time and said, "Tadaji, you said that if the family chooses to join the Oda family, will Oda Nobunaga agree?" He said it lightly, as if there was no difficulty at all.

"This ......" Sakai Tadaji opened his mouth, he did have such an idea in his heart, but now that Matsudaira Motoyasu took the initiative to say it, he couldn't agree either.

"My lord! Mrs. Sena, the young master, and the young lady are all in Sunfu Castle! Tadaji Sakai said in a deep voice.

"Yes, they are still ...... in Sunfu" Matsudaira Motoyasu said lightly, in a tone, he couldn't hear joy or anger. But Sakai Tadaji understood that his own initiative was already considering the merits of the alliance with the Oda family.

Yes, an alliance, while Matsudaira Motoyasu's wife and children are still hostages in Sunpu Castle. It sounds cruel, but that's troubled times. Compared to the preservation family, what else is it?
