Chapter 16: The Ambition of Oda Nobutomo
Oda Nobuhide and Masahide Tete discuss the summoning of Oda Nobuntomo, and Oda Nobunaga and the others do the same. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Overlord Maru, what do you think?" Oda Nobunaga asked while looking at Overlord Maru unhappily. Why is it unhappy, but it is because the 1-year-old Xiao Aichi has been lying in the arms of the overlord pill, completely ignoring Oda Nobunaga's pleading eyes. Although Oda Nobunaga is not a sister control, it is obviously difficult to accept this kind of blow.
"Hehe, it's very simple, if Your Highness goes, it will simply give your life to Oda Nobutomo. But if he doesn't go, then Oda Nobuyo can justifiably punish His Highness. After all, he is the nominal master of the lower four counties, and ignoring his orders is not an exaggeration, even if it is regarded as a rebellion. In this way, Oda Nobutomo was given enough truth. Overlord Maru ignored Oda Nobunaga's unhappy eyes, and replied casually while teasing Xiao Aichi.
"Yes, and there should be a shadow of Saito Michizo behind this matter, I don't believe that Oda Nobutomo alone could have thought of such a solution, and the timing was so good." Oda Nobunaga nodded in response.
If this happened before the Battle of Ghana or if the Oda family recovered after some time, then Oda Nobuhide would not have been able to do anything even if he ignored Oda Nobutomo's orders. After all, this era is an era of respect for force, Oda Nobuhide has strength, but Oda Nobutomo does not, all the wealthy families in the four counties are clear about this, otherwise Oda Nobuhide would not let Oda Nobuhide put Oda Nobutomo in the air.
But this happened by accident when the Ghana mouth had just ended, and Oda Nobuhide's prestige was hit like never before. This ability to grasp the opportunity, anyway, in Oda Nobunaga's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Oda Nobunaga to plan it, and if he really had this ability, it would be impossible for Oda Nobuhide to take away the power in the first place.
"Then let's go to Oda Nobutomo to settle accounts?" Overlord Maru suggested with some interest, he vaguely remembered that Oda Nobunaga seemed to have set fire to Kiyoshu Castle before, although he didn't say why, but it was probably this time. And for participating in any historical event, the Overlord Pill has a great interest.
"Huh? We? Oda Nobunaga was obviously stunned when he heard this, as if he had no intention of doing so before.
Seeing this, Overlord Maru immediately tried his best to persuade, "Young master, think about it, this time Oda Nobuyo's plan has put His Highness in a dilemma, unless Oda Nobuyo can take the initiative to withdraw the order." ”
"Hmm...... Makes sense, but why should we go? Oda Nobunaga pursed his lips and replied, how could he not know this, if Overlord Maru didn't say it, he would also take the initiative to bring it up. But now the Overlord Pill has taken the initiative...... Well, Oda Nobunaga really didn't want this bastard kid to be too proud, who made Aichi so sticky to him?
Nakono Castle.
Although Oda Nobunaga disagreed with the statement of the overlord pill, he actually recruited all the inuchiyo and others and began to prepare for the operation. Yes, it's action, and with the sum of Oda Nobunaga and Overlord Maru, the plan for action is finalized in minutes.
"Young master! Everything has been delivered! Inuchiyo ran in excitedly and shouted.
"Oh? Is it finally here? When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he immediately stood up and walked out excitedly, and Overlord Maru immediately followed.
Outside the door, Kurasuke and the others were wearing colorful costumes, wearing all kinds of strange masks, and holding strange props.
"Hehe, that's really good~" Oda Nobunaga chuckled and touched a monkey squatting on his shoulder. Well, it's a real monkey~
"It's really good, but young master, what is my role?" Overlord Maru asked with interest. Their plan was simple, disguise themselves as a juggling troupe and infiltrate Kiyoshu Castle, find an opportunity to get close to Oda Nobutomo, and then ...... There's nothing then. As for whether he will be received by Oda Nobutomo? They didn't think about this at all, because in this era, except for a few large towns such as Kyoto and Kaimachi, there were no permanent juggling troupes. Therefore, every time a parade juggling troupe or a group of courtesans passes through a town, they are invited by the local daimyo or family governor to perform there. No way, who makes this era of leisure activities too few?
"You? Hey, hey, hey......" Oda Nobunaga looked at Overlord Maru, and suddenly laughed strangely, laughing so much that Overlord Maru's heart straightened hair. And after Oda Nobunaga said his thoughts, a miserable cry suddenly came from Nakono Castle, "No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”
Inabayama Castle.
"Things seem to be going well, I can already imagine Nobuhide gritting his teeth, hehehe~" Saito Michizo said with a smile as he fiddled with the flower branch in his hand. Ikebana, also known as flower arrangement, is an artistically inserted flower vessel such as a vase by cutting off the branches, leaves, and flowers of trees and plants. Tea ceremony, waka and other songs also existed as leisure and entertainment for high-end people such as ministers and nobles.
"Yes, I heard that Nobuhide's eldest son is still peeing in front of Nobuto's messenger~" A young samurai laughed beside him. His name is Akechi Mitsuhide, a son of the Mino Akechi family, both civil and military, although he is only 19 years old, he has studied with Saito Yoshiryu under the three knees of Saito Road since he was a child. However, unlike Saito Yoshiryu, who doesn't like Saito Michizo, Saito Michizo admires Akechi Mitsuhide very much.
"Oh? That fool? I've heard a lot about him, though...... Is he really a fool? Saito Michizo whispered to himself when he heard this.
"Do you see anything?" Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned and asked curiously.
"No, I don't know if he's a fool, but I know that Nobuhide isn't a fool......" Michizo Saito chuckled with a curious look in his eyes, "The truth...... What is it exactly? ”
Cheongju City.
Oda Nobutomo hugged his beloved concubine and listened to Inoue's report with a proud face, laughing heartily from time to time. In other words, since the power was taken away by Oda Nobuhide, he has rarely had such a happy time.
"Hahahaha! Daosan's plan is really good, just one order can put Nobuhide's bastard in a dilemma. Oda Nobutomo laughed triumphantly.
"My lord, although according to Inoue-sama's words, Oda Nobuhide does not seem to intend to be hostile to us, we still have to prepare for war first." A retainer on the side said in a deep voice, his name is Sakai Daizen, he is the first elder of the Oda family in Kiyoshi, and he is also a famous general who can be counted in Owari. Excellent martial arts, full of wisdom, huh...... At least at the Cheongju Oda house, that's what happened.
"Uh-huh...... It's all up to you. "Oda Nobutomo responded casually, he really didn't know anything about fighting. Just looking at his indifferent attitude now, it seems to show why Oda Nobuhide has risen. But then again, wasn't it because Toki Yoriyi didn't have any interest in fighting that he made Saito Michizo rise? Maybe it's because of a peculiarity of the times?
After sending Sakai Daizen away, Oda Nobutomo suddenly approached Inoue Heiji and asked with a strange smile, "I heard that when that fool peed, he splashed on you?" ”
"This ...... Hehe......" Inoue Heiji smiled awkwardly.
"Hahahaha~ That's really hard for you~ Don't worry, I will reward you well!" Oda Nobutomo said with a laugh.
"My subordinates didn't expect that fool to do such a stupid thing, it seems that after Oda Nobuhide dies, the Furuto Oda family will also be finished." Oda Nobuyo's laughter obviously embarrassed Heiji Inoue, and quickly changed the subject.
"Hahahaha~ Well said!" Oda Nobutomo laughed, he hadn't been so happy in a long, long time.
10 days later, Cheongju City.
"Haha, that guy from Nobuhide actually said that he was still preparing? Hahaha! Is that guy starting to hesitate too? It seems that the time has come for me to unify Owari......" Nobutomo Oda danced with his hands, and it was really difficult to vent his excitement if he didn't do so.
"Unified ...... Unified Owari?! Inoue Heiji looked at Oda Nobutomo in shock, obviously shocked by his words. There's no way, who let the Cheongju Oda family at this time be just the nominal master of the lower four counties? And not to mention the power grabber Oda Nobuhide, in the north, there is also a more powerful Iwakura Oda family.
"Not bad! Unified Owari! Nobuhide is no longer a concern! Dao San is also on our side, believing that Xin'an guy is a smart man! And when I unify Owari, I'll go to Luo to take over the world! Oda Nobutomo stood up as he spoke, looking at the sky outside and shouting excitedly with his hands raised. With that intoxicated expression, could it be that he had already seen the scene of him making tea with the generals and ministers?
Inoue Heiji was stunned for a long time, and finally recovered from the shock, and hurriedly replied loudly, "Yes!" If it is the lord, he will definitely be able to win the world! ”
"Haha! You can say that again! So~ In order to celebrate our early acquisition of the world, let's have a banquet! ”
"Yes!" Inoue Heiji replied loudly.
At this time, in Cheongju Town, countless civilians gathered together to watch the performances of the juggling troupe from other places, and from time to time there were warm applause and applause. And in a hut behind the juggling troupe, Oda Nobunaga and Overlord Maru were sitting in it resting. It's just that Oda Nobunaga is excited, but Overlord Maru is full of bitterness.
"Hehe~ Inuchiyo they practice well, if they are not samurai, they will definitely not starve to death." Oda Nobunaga smiled heartlessly. It's a pity that this time, Overlord Pill is not in the mood to echo him.
"That...... Young Master...... Can you give me a different role? Overlord Maru asked with a puzzled expression.
"Haha! Overlord Maru! You can rest assured to act! I'm sure they'll be mesmerized by your performance! Oda Nobunaga laughed maniacally, and that look was so angry that the truth of Overlord Maru gave him a few punches.
