Chapter 831: The Dawn of Peace (5)
Who beats Yoshinobu Oda first? Naturally, this is just a joke by Oda Nobunaga. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Mori family is not a weak force that people can manipulate at will, and even if the Oda family has the advantage at this time, it is just an advantage. Not to mention that Maori Yuan is known as the number one wise general in the world, how dare Oda Nobunaga be careless?
Therefore, although he was very powerful, he still made all the preparations before sending troops very carefully, and at the same time sent ninjas to Mimasaka, Bizen and other Maori territory to infiltrate and find out any information that might be needed.
On the other side, after receiving an order from Oda Nobunaga, Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide also began to reorganize their troops and prepare to attack Inhata.
At such times, the strength of the Oda family was fully demonstrated, and countless weapons, equipment, food, grass, and ammunition were constantly sent to the front from the rear, accompanied by a large number of standing soldiers. For a while, the forces of Tajima and Harima swelled rapidly, and it was completely unclear that the Oda family had been fighting for several months.
This is where the Oda family is really powerful, and the almost infinite powerful logistics are almost above the entire world.
On the other side, the envoys sent by Oda Nobutada arrived at Ota Castle and Hesakikan, whether it was Takeda Katsuyori or Satake Yoshishige, they all gave Ando Mori and Murai Sadakatsu full face. Especially Takeda Katsuyori, I can't see that the Takeda family was forced to submit at all.
This made Murai Sadakatsu very surprised, you must know that in his intelligence, Takeda Katsuyori has always been known for his hot temper. This time, he was even ready to face the angry Takeda Katsuyori. But in fact, Takeda Katsuyori not only held a large banquet for him, but also showed great enthusiasm after hearing that he was a person sent by Oda Nobutada.
After nightfall, Takeda Katsuyori arranged for Murai Sadakatsu to stay, and quietly went to a secret room in the castle tower.
"Grandfather, my grandson has done what you said." Takeda Katsuyori said to an old man in front of him.
"Well, I've seen your performance just now, that's good! No worse than your father. The old man nodded, looked at Takeda Katsuyori and chuckled.
This old man's name was Takeda Shintora, and since he was destroyed by the Imagawa family, he had been wandering in and later went to Shinano to live in the castle of Takeda Katsuyori. Takeda Shingen was naturally clear about this, but he didn't say much. Maybe it's because of his age, or because of Takeda Yoshinobu's suicide, although Takeda Shingen didn't reconcile with Takeda Shintora, he also acquiesced in the existence of the other party.
And now, after Takeda Shingen, as the governor of the Takeda family, led the Takeda family to surrender to the Oda family and handed over the position of family governor to Takeda Katsuyori, the 77-year-old man followed Takeda Katsuyori to the Kusakikan. His purpose is very simple, he hopes to contribute his last strength to this family that is in ruins.
"Grandfather, why don't we just go and befriend Oda Nobunaga? Although Oda Nobutada is the heir of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga is in his prime, and if nothing else, it is impossible for all of the Oda family to fall into the hands of Oda Nobutada for at least 20 years. Takeda Katsuyori said with some doubts.
Hearing Takeda Katsuyori's words, Takeda Shintora nodded with satisfaction again, "Yes, I was afraid that you would be young and vigorous, and I would be desperate to take revenge on the Oda family." But now it seems that I underestimated you. ”
Hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori smiled bitterly, "It's not that my grandson doesn't want to take revenge, but after the First Battle of Mikatahara, my family not only lost many retainers, but also the Red Reserve people were completely annihilated." And although the grandson is arrogant, he doesn't think that the grandson can do better than the father......"
If he could, he also hoped to gather tens of thousands of troops to fight with the Oda family again, but unfortunately, it was impossible for the Takeda family to let him play like this now. To put it simply, most of the retainers of Takeda Katsuyori are promoted temporarily. And Shinano, which was already unstable, also began to make a commotion.
It is conceivable that if Takeda Shingen hadn't immediately turned the Takeda family into retainers of the Oda family, I'm afraid that the wealthy families of Shinano would definitely immediately defect to the Oda family, right? If that's the case, the Takeda family will be completely finished.
"Don't be humble, with your current ability, you can already shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Takeda family!" Takeda Nobuta chuckled when he heard this, "It's true as you said, but if you want to befriend Oda Nobunaga, it's not as simple as you think." And ......," Takeda Nobuta shook his head when he said this, "You just need to remember that this is a good opportunity, even if the Oda family really unifies the world in the future, the family will be able to rise again by virtue of its relationship with Oda Nobutada!" ”
"Yes!"
Takeda Katsuyori always felt that Takeda Shinhori seemed to have something to hide from him, but since Takeda Shintora didn't say it, then Takeda Katsuyori didn't plan to ask more. Because he believed that his grandfather could not harm him, especially at this time.
Hitachi, Ota Castle.
"Oda...... A messenger of faith? Satake's eyes flickered, but he didn't refuse, "Please." ”
"His Royal Highness Satake, I came here this time in the hope that the Satake family can return to my family......" Mamoru Ando directly expressed his intention.
"I heard that the Hojo family has already submitted to you?" Yoshishige Satake sat in the first place, looked at Mamoru Ando with a calm face and asked. Ando's intentions did not surprise Satake Yoshishige, and in fact, he couldn't think of any other intentions of the Oda family envoy. After all, the current situation is very obvious, as long as Mori and Uesugi are defeated again, the world will be the Oda family.
"Not bad." Mamoru Ando nodded, "I know that you have some grievances with the Hojo family, but in my opinion, these grievances are just because of some historical problems." Now, the family is about to start a new history, and those grievances will naturally pass away with the wind. ”
"Hehe, you're very confident~" Yoshishige Satake smiled when he heard this.
"Yes, the people of the Shimoto and even the entire Oda family are convinced of this!" Mamoru Ando said firmly when he heard this. "In addition, if you are willing to submit, Lord Nobutada will show the lord and fight for the position of Hitachi and Shimono for the Satake family." Mamoru Ando then threw out the conditions.
"Haha! It is worthy of the Oda family, and as soon as it makes a move, it is a reward for a country~" Satake Yoshishige laughed when he heard this, although the Satake family had a territory across Hitachi and Shimono, but because of the existence of the Utsunomiya family, they did not unify Shimono. And this reward from the Oda family is obviously enough to make Satake Yoshige tempted.
And......
"Is Oda Nobutada? Hey...... It's kind of interesting. Satake Yoshishige sneered, and then directly agreed to Ando Mamoru's persuasion.
