Omi, Wada Castle, Koga-gun.

This is the residence of Wada Yumasa, a retainer of Rokkaku's old love family, and he has come all the way here since Kakukei was rescued from a temple in Nara by Hosokawa Fujitaka. After getting the consent of Rokkaku Yoshiji, he stayed here with Wada Yumasa.

And after being safe, Jueqing was not idle, he quickly entered the role of a down-and-out general, and began to write letters one after another.

"Wada-sama, this one is for the Echigo Uesugi family, this one is for the Kai Takeda family, and this one is for the Satsuma Shimazu family......" Kakukei kept instructing.

"Yes!" Wada Yumasa responded respectfully.

Although Wada Yumasa is the master of this city, both himself and Jueqing seem to have forgotten this. In other words, since Jueqing came here, Jueqing has become the master of Hotan City. And Wada Weizheng became his retainer.

But in fact, it is not difficult to understand that before, Wada Yumasa was just a small lord in Koga County. Now, he has become a retainer of the shogun, although the shogunate is very down, but this identity is still much stronger than his original identity.

Of course, these are just tacit facts, not directly stated. Otherwise, even if Rokkaku Yoshiji is generous, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it, right?

After Wada Yumasa received the order, Hosokawa Fujitaka on the side asked a little strangely, "Your Highness, you don't seem to have invited the Oda family, right?" ”

"What? Weird, isn't it? Jueqing asked lightly when he heard this.

"This ......" Hosokawa Fujitaka was speechless when he heard this, "What's strange?" It's very strange, okay! However, it didn't take long for Hosokawa Fujitaka to help Kakukei find a good reason.

"Your Highness, you have been concentrating on cultivating Buddha before, and you may not know anything about the Oda family. Although it was not a famous family, under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, the governor of the Oda family, it has become a powerful force with more than one million koku sitting on the three kingdoms of Mino, Owari and Mikawa. Hosokawa Fujitaka said respectfully.

"Hmm...... Got it" Jueqing replied in a low voice, and then there was no more follow-up.

Seeing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't want to say anything more, although his tendency was to try to invite the Oda family, but since Jueqing had no such plan for the time being, Hosokawa Fujitaka could only give up.

"Maybe Your Highness is considering that the Oda family has just unified Mino, so there is no way to send troops at all......" Hosokawa Fujitaka thought to himself. In his opinion, the reason why Kakukei did not invite the Oda family was purely because he was afraid that if he was rejected, the shogunate's face would not look good. After all, compared to the Oda family, the other daimyo have quite good reasons even if they don't want to come. It's too far away, and there are too many forces in between...... Tsk, this reason came to mind before the letter was sent, and there was no one else.

It's no wonder that Hosokawa Fujitaka thinks so, after all, Jueqing has only been a general for a few days, and this general is only admitted by themselves, so it is inevitable that the idea is too simplistic.

It's just that obviously, Hosokawa Fujitaka doesn't know about Kakukei, and in fact, he and Kakukei are not familiar with each other at all. Because they haven't met each other a few times.

"Humph! Just a country idiot, but with a little luck, he deserves to let me invite him personally? Jueqing thought disdainfully.

Kakukei really looked down on the Oda family because he was a person who paid a lot of attention to the bloodline family. At the same time, in his eyes, except for Kinai, the rest of the place is just the countryside. Although Echigo, Kai, and Satsuma were also from the countryside, Uesugi, Takeda, and Shimazu were all important ministers of the shogunate long ago.

Moreover, there is another reason why Kakukei dislikes the Oda family, that is, he knows that Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiteru have a good relationship. Well? How can this be justified? Quite simply, Kakukei didn't like Ashikaga Yoshiteru......

Most of the daimyo of this era had an unwritten rule, that is, the eldest son inherited the family business, and the other sons were either passed on to other families, or sent to the temple to become monks. The reason for this is to prevent the sons from fighting for the position of the governor of the family, which will then bring a devastating blow to the family.

Of course, the daimyo who did this were basically very powerful daimyos, such as the Oda family and the Mori family, which were not unified by half of the country.

And Jueqing, for this reason, was sent to the monastery to become a monk at a very young age. If he doesn't have a grudge for Ashikaga Yoshiteru, it's obviously unlikely, after all, if there is no Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the general of Seiyi is his.

Of course, if Ashikaga Yoshiki can continue to be in power, then even if Jueqing is unwilling, he can only recite his scriptures honestly. But now, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is dead, and Hosokawa Fujitaka has found himself. This revived the ambition that had been hidden by Jueqing for more than 20 years. He wants to become the general of the Seiyi, and he will do better than Ashikaga Yoshiteru!

It was because of this that Jueqing didn't want to have anything to do with the Oda family. And in his opinion, even if a hillbilly is lucky enough to occupy the Three Kingdoms, how can the influence it bring be comparable to that of the old magnates like Asakura? Moreover, it is not only Shangluo, but also a face problem.

You see, Ashikaga Yoshiki has no choice but to pin his hopes on the hillbilly Oda family. And if Kakukei can take old magnates like Asakura, Uesugi, and Takeda to Shangluo at that time, doesn't it mean that he Kakukei is stronger than Ashikaga Yoshiki?

Hosokawa Fujitaka naturally wouldn't know about this, otherwise he would probably reconsider whether it was right or wrong for him to decide whether it was right or wrong to support this person to become a general.

It's a pity that all this has become a fact, and the Oda family was excluded from the first camp because of Juekei's selfish desires. But even if Oda Nobunaga knew about this result, I'm afraid he wouldn't care, right?

Time passed day by day, and soon, it was August.

Speaking of which, although Oda Yoshinobu has made a military order to make progress in Ise within two years, more than a year has passed now, and there has been no movement on Oda Yoshinobu's side. What about Oda Nobunaga? There doesn't seem to be any intention to rush. And the other retainers didn't even ask about it.

I really don't know if they have faith in Oda Yoshinobu, or if they have already tacitly acquiesced to the fact that Aichi and the other four counties were taken by Oda Yoshinobu.

Nakono Castle.

"Oh? Has trade been established in Ezo? Oda Yoshinobu asked curiously.

"Yes, at this time, the Oysaki family commissioned a letter from their subordinates." Lilu said, handing the letter to Yoshinobu Oda.

Flipping through the letter, Oda Yoshinobu casually looked at the words on it. Well, a piece of nonsense, it's nothing more than how Yoshihiro Oysaki admired the Oda family, and how he admired Oda Yoshinobu. It is a great honor to be able to establish a trade relationship with the Oda family.

"However, at least it can be seen that their attitude is still good~" Oda Yoshinobu threw the letter aside, looked at Lilu and smiled.

Hearing this, Lilu stroked her hair slightly, looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a smile, "This is also normal, although there are only the Oysaki family and the local Ainu people in the entire Ezo, but the strength of the Oysaki family is not very large, and the strength is not very strong." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Lilu's words, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly became interested, "Then do you think that my current strength can promise the Oysaki family?" ”

Oda Yoshinobu doesn't know much about the Oysaki family, because even in the game, the presence of this force is not very strong. As for why Yoshinobu Oda would be interested...... Hawkers, Hokkaido is so big, how can it not be interested?

Just hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Lilu shook her head and said, "My lord, although the territory of Ezo is large, most of it is wasteland. Even though the Oysaki family has been cultivating their territory for generations, in the eyes of their subordinates, it is not even comparable to Mikawa. ”

"Hmm......" Oda Yoshinobu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, if he had time, he would naturally not care about this. But the point is, he simply doesn't have time. Rather than occupying Ezo, which I don't know how many years it would take to develop, it would be better to go straight to Ise and get more quickly.

Subsequently, Lilu and Oda Yoshinobu reported on the recent situation of the Chamber of Commerce. "Today, the fleet of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce has reached five, and negotiations are also underway on the Ryukyu and North Korean sides. According to the feedback from the people below, the negotiations are still very good, and I believe that it will not be long before my family can open a business hall in the two countries! Lilu said this, her eyes radiating a dazzling brilliance.

"At that time, you were busy~" Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile, and then walked to Lilu's side and hugged her into his arms.

"Don't do this, my subordinates still have information to report!" Lilu writhed her delicate body and complained, but her resistance seemed to be more appropriate to describe it as a rejection.

In this way, Lilu leaned on Oda Yoshinobu's arms, feeling the stimulation from the sensitive belt, while panting and continuing to report.

Suddenly, Lilu looked at Oda Yoshinobu with silky eyes, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling, "Lord, I have another good news to tell you~"

"Huh?" Oda Yoshinobu responded casually, not hearing what Lilu was talking about. Because at this time, he was already obsessed with Lilu's moving body.

"A few days ago, a fleet from the New World arrived in Kaimachi, and it happened that my subordinates were in Kaimachi at that time, so I went to meet their captain, and then my subordinates brought them." Lilujiao said with a smile. "Their captain is a big beauty~" (To be continued.) )
