Kiyoshu Castle, the residence of Oda Nobunaga. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Haha~ I didn't expect that brother, you didn't even see that kid from the Earth Ambiguity Dragon, so you were beaten back in disgrace. Ji, did you say your father was useless? Oda Yoshinobu laughed and kept teasing Yoshi, who was already 4 years old.
"It's not~ Father is just ...... It's just ......" Ji hurriedly distinguished, but her vocabulary was obviously not enough for her to say any suitable reason, and in an instant, she looked at Oda Nobunaga with tears in her eyes, "Father is a big fool!" Yoshishi delivered a critical blow, and then hid in Oda Yoshinobu's arms and spread coquettishly.
"Hehe, Ji doesn't cry~ Wait for Uncle to take you to buy lollipops~" Oda Yoshinobu hugged Yoshishi and whispered, but looked at Oda Nobunaga with a very cheap look.
"You ......" Oda Nobunaga saw this, and his nose was about to be crooked, but just as he wanted to curse, he was attacked by Nohime on his waist.
"Ahh What are you doing?! Oda Nobunaga jumped up and looked at Nohime with a sad expression.
"Humph! Don't swear in front of Ji! Nohime snorted, then glanced at Oda Yoshinobu again, "Yoshi, come here." ”
"Nope! Uncle Yoshinobu Yoshito takes Yoshishi to eat a lollipop! Jiji pulled Oda Yoshinobu by the collar, apparently caring about the legendary lollipop.
Well, history is always strikingly similar, even if Oda Yoshinobu didn't do anything on purpose, Yoshiya was very obsessed with him just like Aichi back then. Well...... It seems strange to use this word, but it is glued well. She is very sticky to Oda Yoshinobu, and sometimes when Nohime is helpless, as long as Oda Yoshinobu says a word, Yoshishi will become obedient.
This kind of fact obviously makes Nohime, a mother, angry and funny, but for Oda Nobunaga, he is quite unhappy and depressed. Because according to various intelligence, in Yoshi's heart, the highest status is Oda Yoshinobu, followed by Nohime, then Aichi and Yoshino, then her younger brother Marvelmaru, who is one year younger than her, and finally poor Oda Nobunaga.
It's just that Oda Nobunaga's classmate wants to turn over, but it's obviously impossible, because every time he just speaks a little louder, Nohime and Yoshino will blame Oda Nobunaga in various ways. Alas, what a miserable fellow.
It's easy to say.,Ji was finally taken away by Nohime.,The atmosphere that was originally full of middle two gradually became serious.。
"Has there been any movement in the Imagawa family lately?" Oda Nobunaga asked in a deep voice.
"It's not the same as it used to be? Okabe Motonobu and Matsudaira Motonobu sent troops to harass them twice, but in my opinion, Matsudaira Motonobu didn't want to fight at all, and he didn't send more than 200 troops at a time, and he didn't even send a slightly more well-known samurai. Oda Yoshinobu pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
After speaking, Oda Yoshinobu seemed to think of something, and continued to say disdainfully. "Oh, by the way, that kid has changed his name and is called Matsudaira Motoyasu. Tsk, what an unpleasant name......"
"Hehe, you kid, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about him." Oda Nobunaga chuckled.
"Humph! Of course. Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't die before, so he didn't say anything, after all, Imagawa Yoshimoto was really good to him, and the old monk from Taiyuan. But now Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead, and the Imagawa clan has ordered that no attack be allowed on the main house. Although I don't know what that kid thinks, it's also the lord's order, right? Hey! That kid completely ignored it, and shouted for revenge every day! Oda Yoshinobu said unhappily.
Originally, because of Yu Da's relationship, although he didn't have much of a good impression of Matsudaira Motoyasu, he still had feelings of guilt or embarrassment. After all, he was asked to help take care of his mother and sister, and he ended up taking care of them all to bed. That's why he later agreed to be Matsudaira Motoyasu's teacher and teach him martial arts.
"That's right......" Oda Nobunaga touched his chin and said helplessly, "That's not going to be easy......
"Huh? What's not to do? Oda Yoshinobu asked suspiciously, but then, he suddenly remembered the big incident after the barrel saga, "Brother, are you planning to win over the Matsudaira family?" ”
Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Oda Nobunaga suddenly looked at him in surprise, "How did you kid guess?" Tsk, I wanted to shock you. Oda Nobunaga said angrily, "Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead, and the Imagawa clan is really weak and incompetent, so the focus of the next strategy of the family must be Mino." ”
In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu did not raise any objections, if in his previous life, he still had the idea of directly attacking the Imagawa family regardless of Mino, then after so many years in this life, he understood how unreliable this idea was.
How so? With the current power of the Oda family, there is absolutely no problem in taking advantage of the Imagawa family's weakness to capture Mikawa. But in this way, the Oda family and the Imagawa family can be regarded as immortal. After all, compared to the barren Mikawa, whether it is Enoe as a granary or Suruga, an economic powerhouse, it is the lifeblood of the Imagawa family.
Therefore, the Imagawa family will never let the Oda family start the war in the Toe country, and it is even very likely that they will unite with the Toki family. And even if the Oda family destroys the Imagawa family, they will immediately encounter Takeda and Hojo, who are more powerful than the Imagawa family today. When the time comes, add the Toki family...... Hehe, this may be much more ferocious than the historical Oda siege network.
Therefore, the Oda family can only fight Mino, after all, although the power of the Toki family is strong, the surrounding area is very safe. The Rokkaku family, which only has in their eyes, doesn't care who Mino's owner is, and the east is surrounded by mountains, and it can be said that it is difficult for the Takeda family to attack from Shinano, and the sister Koji family in the north can ignore it.
The only thing that needs to be considered is the inevitable Imagawa family. And if the Matsudaira family can be co-opted, then the Oda family can attack Mino without any worries.
"I don't have any ideas, after all, it's a good thing. But I think with the ambition of Matsudaira Motoyasu's kid, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to join us, right? Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.
Although he was unhappy with Matsudaira Motoyasu, but one yard to one yard, although he couldn't see how much benefit the Weaving Alliance in history had brought to the Oda family. But with the Matsudaira family, the Oda family is indeed a lot easier.
"Well, that's true, so we'll have to find a way to force him to join us." Oda Nobunaga nodded.
"Or I'll take the troops to scare and scare him? Anyway, they bother us all day, and we should do something about it. Yoshinobu Oda suggested.
"Are you sure you didn't want to take the opportunity to make that kid Matsudaira Motoyasu unhappy?" Oda Nobunaga asked with a strange smile, and the name of Matsudaira Motoyasu in his mouth changed unconsciously.
"Cut, I'm pretty sure, I'm just going to take the opportunity to make that kid unhappy!" Yoshinobu Oda did not hide his thoughts in the slightest.
"Okay, you can go, but pay attention to proportion, don't beat the Imagawa family." Oda Nobunaga agreed to Oda Yoshinobu's proposal, but made some restrictions. Although the Imagawa clan really didn't take it to heart by him, the strength of the Imagawa family was still there.
"Got it." Oda Yoshinobu answered casually and left directly.
Back at Nakono Castle, Oda Yoshinobu summoned his retainers.
"Going to send troops to Mikawa? Lord! Be sure to bring your subordinates! When Keiji Maeda heard this, he immediately jumped up and said.
"Ahem, what kind of soldiers? Where do we have any soldiers now? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Keiji Maeda helplessly and said.
In the battle of the barrel narrow, 100 Grim Reapers, excluding those killed in battle and seriously wounded, only more than 40 people remained.
"What does the lord mean......" Li Huamei asked puzzled, and at the same time looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a hint of warning.
"Ahem...... It's nothing, Huamei, don't worry, I won't mess around. Yoshinobu Oda coughed dryly twice, and then said his thoughts. Well, in fact, it's nothing, it's just to take advantage of the time when Okabe Motonobu and Matsudaira Motoyasu sent people to make trouble, take the opportunity to kill them, and then find a chance to capture Zenshoji Temple. Although he doesn't have any soldiers in his hands, Narumi Castle does.
Li Huamei did not say anything more about this proposal. After all, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be any danger.
It's just that what Oda Yoshinobu didn't expect was that when he was about to send troops, Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Hengxing actually came, and they also brought 300 soldiers.
"Li Jia, Hengxing, why did you two come to me? Does my brother know?! Oda Yoshinobu asked with some concern.
Although Maeda Toshiie and Oda Nobunaga have a good relationship, and Ikeda Hengxing is Oda Nobunaga's milk brother, no matter how good it is, he has to have a degree, and sending troops privately is definitely a situation that no daimyo can tolerate.
"Don't worry, you think I'm you? It was the lord who asked me to help you. Maeda Toshiie looked at Oda Yoshinobu and rolled his eyes, "Am I such a brainless person in your head?" ”
"Hmm......" Oda Yoshinobu nodded without hesitation, making Maeda Toshiya eager to beat him up. Unfortunately, he couldn't beat it.
"Alas, speaking of which, it's also our own inadequacy, so many years have passed, and among our brothers, I and the Li family are still just generals. And the Li family and I may be succeeded as family governors in the next few years, which is a bit of a bad position......" Ikeda Hengxing said with a sigh.
"Damn, you're here to take credit!" Oda Yoshinobu said with a sudden realization, and even posed as a mocker. That tone, that expression, if Oda Yoshinobu and the others were not brothers, and the two of them also knew Oda Yoshinobu's character, I am afraid that with this sentence, the three of them would become enemies completely.
It's a pity that they know Oda Yoshinobu very well, and they don't pay attention to his ridicule at all, "Yes, we're here to take credit!" So this time you have to work hard, at least you can take Okazaki Castle. Maeda Toshiya didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, and said as a matter of course. That look, I can see that Maeda Keiji is called a ...... Admire!
"It's worthy of a brother, this kind of thing can be said so reasonably, if I can have this ability......" Maeda Keiji fell into YY on the side, completely ignoring his good brothers Shiraki Yukihisa and Shimazuo quietly moving a few steps to the side, not to mention that his good apprentice Honda Tadakatsu looked dazed.
"The Li family is right, the credit for this time is all ours, but the loot is all for you." Ikeda echoed.
"You...... You guys...... How can people be so shameless! Oda Yoshinobu was immediately furious, and he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, don't pretend, people don't want to be invincible in the world, this sentence is what you said to us!" Maeda Toshiie looked at Oda Yoshinobu with disdain, and so did Ikeda Tsuneko next to him.
When Oda Yoshinobu heard this, he immediately wanted to refute, but then Li Huamei walked over, "Lord, it's time to go." Li Huamei looked at the three of them with a smile on her face, and she suddenly discovered that Oda Yoshinobu was able to rise so quickly in the Oda family, not necessarily because of his peerless martial arts.
Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and soon came to Narumi City. At this time, Sakuma Nobumori had already returned to his territory, and the castle of Narumi Castle had become Ikoma Kinmasa. Well, the original Ikoma Kinmasa was just a small Ashigaru general, and he became a shogun after Tsubasasa. Reason...... Well, I know everything.
At this time, there were still 500 people in Ashigaru Castle, and as soon as Oda Yoshinobu came, he directly asked for 300. In this regard, Ikoma did not refuse at all, and did not dare to refuse. Although he is Yoshinobu's brother, where would he dare to oppose Oda Yoshinobu's words?
"My lord, are you really planning to attack Okazaki Castle?" Li Huamei asked with some concern. At this time, Oda Yoshinobu's troops had reached more than 500 people, and it was naturally impossible to attack Okazaki Castle, but it was still possible to set fire to the castle or something.
"Let's look at this again, don't worry, I won't mess around~" Oda Yoshinobu responded casually, "Let's attack Zenshoji Temple first." ”
Since the number of troops has reached more than 500 people, there is no need for Oda Yoshinobu to go back to the original plan. More than 500 people sneak attack more than 200 people? Oda Yoshinobu can't do such a thing.
"My lord, there is Zenshoji Temple ahead! Let your subordinates take the lead! Keiji Maeda shouted excitedly.
And although Shima Sakune, Shiraki Yukihisa, and Honda Tadakatsu did not speak, their flickering gazes still revealed their inner thoughts.
"Well, I'll leave it to you." Oda Yoshinobu nodded, not stopping them. Well, although Okabe Motoshin is also a good samurai, if Maeda Keiji and the others can't even take this battered and tattered castle when they have the advantage in strength and the enemy is exhausted, then ...... Oda Yoshinobu will definitely arrest Okabe Motonobu and force him to surrender.
As it turned out, the game's values were relatively reliable, and half an hour later, Zenshoji Temple was breached, and Okabe Motonobu was captured alive by Keiji Maeda.
"Tsk, I can't imagine that this kid Keiji has grown to such a point? I'm sorry......" Maeda Toshiie shook his head in admiration.
"Cut, without my guidance, where would that kid grow to this point?" Oda Yoshinobu unceremoniously took the credit on himself. (To be continued.) )
