Long Shaocong was on a whim and recommended the old man Aizawa to the lord.

In a situation where there was really no way to think about it, Oda Nobunaga immediately made a decision and immediately took someone to Azuchi Castle to ask for medical officer Aizawa to treat his beloved general.

At this moment's impulse, Long Shaocong didn't think so, but inadvertently continued the life of Takenaka Chongzhi for a year, and after a year, another strange thing happened, which made this Warring States wizard live all his life, and made great contributions to Long Shaocong's complete removal of demons and domination of Fusang.

Of course, the current Long Shaocong is still 108,000 miles away from the overlord of the Warring States, and at this time he is kneeling in front of Oda Nobunaga, bowing his head and saying nothing, always ready to be suddenly questioned by this "Sixth Heaven Demon King".

Originally, after sending away Takenaka Shigeji, Long Shaocong thought that it was getting late, so he could go back and lie on the tatami mat and sleep comfortably, of course, before going to sleep, he couldn't help but think about the troubles between him and Princess Hideko.

However, to his surprise, Oda Nobunaga actually left him behind, saying that he had something to ask.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and now I can only adopt the strategy of "braking with static", to see how His Royal Highness Nobunaga makes a move, and he will see goodbye to the move. (Why not take the initiative, you ask?) Nonsense, the protagonist of this book simply can't guess what Nobunaga is going to ask, how to take the initiative? ）

After about a quarter of an hour, Oda Nobunaga took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Today, the widow wants to test you, you don't need to be nervous, just answer truthfully." ”

Long Shaocong nodded yes, and said in his heart, test me? What to test, Chinese, mathematics, or English, Lao Tzu is a graduate of the Foreign Chinese College, what language is at your fingertips, but if you take the science and engineering chemistry, it is a different matter?

"At the beginning of the Hiei Mountain, you used the strategy of the suspicious soldiers, temporarily deceived the Tsutsui army, the widow can see that for the march formation, you have a lot of strategy, today the widow wants to test you, is the military strategy." Oda Nobunaga opened the fan, fanned it a few times, then closed it and set it aside.

The season has already entered winter, and the nobles and fans are inseparable, more to show elegance, and Oda Nobunaga is naturally no exception.

However, in Long Shaocong's eyes, Nobunaga slapped the wind a few times, and then immediately put down the fan, completely pretending to be overdone, in order to test himself, he invisibly showed the demeanor of an elder, and as a result, he forgot the current season.

However, Long Shaocong had to answer Nobunaga's question, he tried to calm himself down, pondered for a while, and replied respectfully: "Lord, please forgive Shaocong for being stupid, this army covers a wide range of areas, I don't know ......."

"Today, you and me, don't be restrained, what do you think about today's general trend? But it doesn't hurt to say that. After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he cast an encouraging glance at Takusa Cong.

What is the trend in the world? When Long Shaocong heard this, he secretly said in his heart, the land of Japan's projectiles is also worthy of being called the world, and it is really a frog at the bottom of the well, but thinking of the unspeakable war crimes of this nation in later generations, their ambition of "the world" is indeed as high as the sky and as wide as the sea.

It's just that Long Shaocong has no time to take care of these now, and he has no clue about the general trend of the military strategy proposed by Oda Nobunaga, and he doesn't even know where to start, so he can't help but feel anxious, and he looks up at Oda Nobunaga again, and finds that the other party is still looking at him intently, and there is an irresistible majesty in the blandness......

"Qi Yu Lord, Shao Cheng is still young, and he knows very little about military affairs, I am afraid that he will not be able to speak of the important points, which will sweep away the interest of the lord." Long Shaocong's brain was already sweating, and he said in his heart Lao Tzu is marrying your daughter, upset, are you still in the mood to study Lao Tzu's bullshit in the world......

Thinking of this, Long Shaocong changed his mind, and suddenly felt that this matter was very strange, he was just a close to the public, and he was not an important minister, it stands to reason that it was his turn to intervene in important military and political matters, and it was not his turn to intervene at all. Or is there something unknown that takes the opportunity to ask my teacher for sin?

As soon as he thought of this, Long Shaocong's originally messy heart immediately calmed down, and the sweat in his head disappeared in an instant, turning into a sudden coolness.

Long Shaocong's concern was right, he was a small side of the crowd, and it was impossible for Oda Nobunaga to ask him about military affairs, but it was not as he imagined, and he deliberately used this to ask him about his troubles.

The reason for this has to start with Oda Nobunaga's visit to Ampei Tokushige a few days ago. Originally, Nobunaga's purpose was only to complete the Kanto strategy, and to use a policy of harmony to win over the Sagami Hojo clan, unite with Mikawa's ally Tokugawa Ieyasu, and exterminate the Kai Takeda clan in one fell swoop.

After talking about the matter, Ampei Demao mentioned Long Shaocong again, and it seems that he attaches great importance to Long Shaocong. When he learned that Long Shaocong had been promoted to the side of the public and made a general because of his excellent performance in rescuing the Yamato country because of the rescue of Mt. Hiei and the conquest of Yamato, he was even more amazed, and repeatedly told Oda Nobunaga to pay attention to this young man, saying that Long Shaocong would definitely become the Oda family in the future to complete the hegemony and control the world.

Tonight, listening to what Shigeharu Takenaka said, Nobunaga also had some doubts in his heart, and a wisp of melancholy clouds always lingered in this lonely night sky. In this way, on a whim, Xiang took this opportunity to study Long Shaocong, and by the way, confirmed the physiognomy of Ampei Demao.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga saw that Long Shaocong was still a little restrained, so he simply said: "Just now, the half-soldier guard raised two hidden worries to the widow, one is that the Oda army is attacking from all sides, if something happens in, the army from all walks of life will not be able to come back to help; The second is that each legion is in charge of its own side, and it is easy to form the disadvantages of the tail that cannot be dropped. ”

Long Shaocong heard what the lord said, and after a little thought, he had an idea in his heart, and I didn't know anything about the general trend of the military state, but as a later generation, I already knew the historical context, why don't I make full use of this advantage.

If you follow the trend of history, Long Shaocong knew that in the near future, Oda Nobunaga would die in the Honnoji Incident, and the various legions would quickly return to Shiqin Wang, and after your conquest, the final world fell into the hands of Yushiba Hideyoshi, so the first worry raised by Takenaka Shigeji can be described as quite prescient.

The idea was set, and Long Shaocong said unhurriedly: "Lord Qi, there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty, called 'black under the lamp', which means that a candle can illuminate the whole house, and the bottom of the candle is the darkest place. ”

This remark immediately aroused Oda Nobunaga's interest, and he did not answer, motioning for Taka to continue.

Long Shaocong was encouraged, cleared his throat again, and continued: "Often the most dangerous place is the safest place, and on the contrary, the safest place also hides unknown dangers, so I implore the lord to pay more attention to the potential threats around him while deploying weapons in the world. ”

"As you and the half-guards said, could it be that someone is trying to kill the widow?"

"The subordinates don't dare to assert it easily, it's just a matter of taking precautions, and besides, if there is a change in, it will indeed take time for the armies from all walks of life to return." Long Shaocong said secretly, I can't tell you directly, Wise Guangxiu will raise troops to rebel in the future and end your brilliant and brilliant life, with the current situation, you will definitely not believe it, and you will think that I am nonsense.

"In your opinion, how should this be solved?"

Long Shaocong smiled slightly, and then replied: "Looking at the general trend of the world...... I bah, Long Shaocong secretly thought, in order to deal with this "devil", he had to make Japan the world, let's call it a small world for the time being. People under the dwarves had to bow their heads.

"Looking at the general trend of the world, except for the lord, the daimyo in other places are either weak and fledgling, or the civil war in the territory is still unsettled, and there is no time to take care of others, it is indeed the best time for my Oda army to calm down the troubled times, and if there is a strong man like Uesugi Kenshin or Takeda Shingen in a few years, it will inevitably become a big trouble for our henchmen."

"Yes." Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is also the reason why the widows are stepping up their expedition to the east and west, and they intend to send troops to Shikoku Island, but if that's the case......"

"In this case, the first concern of Lord Shigeharu Takenaka cannot be solved, unless the offensive posture of the army in one direction is slowed down." Long Shaocong took the words directly, raised his eyes and looked, and saw that Nobunaga did not mean to blame, and continued: "The art of war of the Ming Dynasty is cloudy, and the army is strategic, and the second is to fight and fight, and then to fight the city. The lord can adopt the strategy of carrots and sticks, in the name of the emperor to crusade against the non-ministers, first set out the conditions, those who go with it prosper, those who go against it, can provoke the internal strife before the strong in this area, our army comes forward to mediate, if the other side is in a monolith, then gather a large army to discuss it, so as to avoid attacking from all sides, the army is too tired. ”

"Have you seen the Art of War?" Oda Nobunaga cast an incredulous look at Long Shaocong.

"Well, when I was in Panxi Village, there were a lot of books from the Ming Dynasty in the old man's house, and Shaocong flipped through them and read some of them." Long Shaocong was so anxious that he forgot his identity, so he had to prevaricate.

When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he hummed and asked, "What is this carrot and stick?" ”

Long Shaocong's heart was bad, and he shook off the patent of the US imperialist without paying attention, and hurriedly explained: "It is to be kind to it first, and offer favorable conditions for us, if the other party accepts everyone as an ally, the lord can give orders to him as a hegemon, and at the same time protect the safety of his territory, this is a carrot; On the contrary, if there are people who do not know how to lift, they will directly send troops to attack, of course, when sending troops, they must be in the name of the imperial court, and they will not let go of some small vassal states as cannon fodder, and crusade against the ministers with the army of justice. ”

Oda Nobunaga's face was happy, nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for Long Shaocong to continue.

Long Shaocong secretly rejoiced, and said again: "In addition, countries bordering the sea such as Echigo and Sagami can dispatch the naval army of the Nine Ghost Longjia to trap its ports and decide its foreign trade, and at the same time unite with its surrounding vassal states by land and blockade it, so as to exhaust its ambitions; For areas with many mountainous areas such as the Jiafei Country, which are not conducive to grain production, they can buy grain stocks in their surrounding areas at high prices, and block the main transportation routes to control the flow of goods, so as to weaken the people. ”

"The above two methods, although it takes a long time, can be bloodless, with the least casualties to calm the troubled times, Oda army mobilization, it is also easy, otherwise, although our army is strong, but attacking from all sides will also greatly weaken the force."

After listening to Long Shaocong's words, Oda Nobunaga nodded, his face showed appreciation, but he did not express his position in time, but said: "The widow has the wisdom of Mitsuhide to sit in the Gyeonggi area, it is expected that it will be okay, but how to solve this big drawback?" ”

Long Shaocong thought to himself that this wise Mitsuhide would kill you in the future, but at this time he still had to answer Oda Nobunaga's second question.

"For the disadvantages of the tail, my subordinates also thought of a way, which is rotation."

"Rotation?"

"Yes, the generals of each army are rotated, but considering the combat effectiveness of the army, the generals of each army can be allowed to bring a group of retainers to take office, such as the Northern Army Regiment Shibata Katsuie and the Army Akechi Mitsuhide are transferred, and the defense of the Gyeonggi area is handed over to the soldiers led by Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide.

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga pondered for a moment, said the word "good", and said to Long Shaocong: "Although your answer is inappropriate, it is very satisfactory to the widow, and the widow will never treat you badly if you want any reward." ”

For his own impromptu words, Long Shaocong also knew that there were many loopholes, such as the "rotation" system of the last article, which would greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, and the Song Dynasty was rich but not strong back then, and there was a reason for this, but if it was adopted by Oda Nobunaga by luck, the combat effectiveness of the entire Japanese army would be weakened, and it would not be a great good thing for neighboring countries.

Now, when he heard that Oda Nobunaga was going to reward himself, Long Shaocong immediately thought of Princess Hideko, and his heart was better to take this opportunity to show his heart to the lord, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.

So, he mustered up the courage and said: "Enlighten the lord, and your subordinates must ...... I want to marry Hideko...... Princess Hideko ......, "It's just that the second half of the sentence is so small that even Long Shaocong himself can't hear it clearly."

"Whatever you want, say it out loud, and the widow will not blame." Although Oda Nobunaga has a violent temper and likes and dislikes, he is an extremely talented person, and he has only listened to Long Shaocong's high-minded talk, and he has been convinced that Ampei Demao has a good eye, and he is determined to cultivate his relatives in front of him.

When Long Shaocong heard that Oda Nobunaga had said this, he turned his heart sideways and plucked up his courage again......
