Chapter 62: The Little Abacus of the Tie Masahide (1)
The weather in Owari Province in February is very refreshing, and there is a large eagle flying high in the blue sky. From his field of vision, he could see the eaves of the towering ancient castle.
Nakono Castle has a very transcendent status for the four prefectures of Owari Province. Because this is the residence of Oda Nobuhide, the big cat of Owari Province, in his early years as a small town lord, and at the same time, it is also the center point of the four counties under Owari Province!
As early as the day of Nobuko's Motofu, this Heijo castle, located southeast of Kiyoshu Castle, was used as Nobuko's fiefdom, and was given to the violent older Lori by Oda Nobuhide, the big cat of Owari Province. One of the most interesting things is that Nobuko's fief and Wang Tianxi's fief are the same distance from the only one-third of Kiyoshu Castle left by Oda Yamato Nobutomo, the nominal supreme commander of the four prefectures of Owari Province! What's more, the fiefdom of the two formed an oblique equilateral triangle with Cheongju City, which was far away from Cheongju City.
Another incomprehensible thing is that almost a year and a half ago, on the day that Wang Tianxian officially moved into the fiefdom of Yamauchikan with the Motofu ceremony, Oda Nobuhide, the big cat of Owari Province, decided to move to Furuto Castle, which is next to Atsuta Jingu. Moreover, he did not inform Oda Nobuyo at all that he was going to move out, and it was not until he left the confines of Cheongju Castle that Oda Nobuyo learned that the Oda family in Cheongju Castle was the only one left!
Here, we have to talk about geography again. First of all, let's draw a straight line from Kiyoshu Castle to the southeast, and we will arrive at Atsuta Jingu, and Furuta Castle is about one-fifth of the way in the direction of Atsuta Jingu.
And the ancient no castle, not far to the right of the remaining half of this straight line, the southeast-east position of Cheongju Castle, and Cheongju Castle and Gudu Castle are diagonally opposite. Interestingly, the distance between Cheongju Castle and Nakono Castle and from Gudu Castle to Nakono Castle is never more than half an hour.
This also means that if you want to attack Gudu Castle from Cheongju Castle, Nakono Castle is the only way to go, and if you start counting from the time of sending troops from Cheongju Castle, the reinforcements of Gudu Castle will arrive at Nakono Castle at the same time as the enemy army, making Nakono Castle the main battlefield!
At this time, everyone will ask the question, in that case, where is the Yamauchi Pavilion, the fiefdom of Wang Tianxi, and the "Orphan Shelter of Owari Province", which covers an area of 1,000 koku?
As we mentioned earlier, Wang Tianxi's Yamauchikan fiefdom is slightly north of the east of Cheongju Castle, and if you look at it from the map, you will find a very peculiar phenomenon: Wang Tianxi's Yamauchikan, Nobuko's Nakono Castle, and Oda Nobuhide's Furuto Castle are in a vertical line, with the Yamauchi Pavilion in the northernmost part, Nakono Castle in the middle, and the southernmost Guto Castle. And Yamauchikan and Nakono Castle form an acute angle with Cheongju Castle in the distance! It can be said that the three cities form a very wonderful defensive circle!
This also caused Oda Nobutomo to dare not leave Cheongju Castle at all, because no matter which direction he wanted to go, he would be attacked by at least two ways! What's more, Oda Nobutomo did not even dare to enter the Honmaru Castle Tower of Kiyoshu Castle, and allowed the Honmaru Castle Tower to be vacant after Oda Nobuhide moved out.
Why? He's afraid! When Oda Nobuhide left, he didn't notice him at all, in case Oda Nobuhide sent troops to fight him in the name of moving into Honmaru without authorization, wouldn't it be bad!
Now that we understand the macro location, let's turn our attention back to Nakono Castle. To the right of the ancient no castle is the Aragami Forest; On the left, there is the forest of Hachioji Temple and the Tenno Forest connected to it.
Due to Nobuko's absurd style and pranks from time to time, there are only a few farmers in the castle town. There are no decent mountains in this area, and the Mt. Hiramatsu and Mt. Komatsu in front of them are nothing more than small hills. Therefore, although Nobuko's fiefdom covers a large area, the arable land is limited.

"Hey! Excuse me, is there a Kichifa Master who lives here? A middle-aged man of about forty years of age, with a burly physique, rather magnificently dressed, and a dress that was clearly a wandering samurai, shouted to the farmer who was working in the fields.
"Look at your attire, you're a samurai from the city, aren't you?" Instead of answering the question, the farmer stopped and stood up with his hoe to ask another question.
"Ha, ha, no, no! I'm just a bum. The wandering samurai laughed and answered the farmer's question.
"Oh, then since you're a homeless man, why do you even ask about this dumb man in the city?" The farmer asked, curious.
"This old man, the son of Master Yoshibo I am looking for is the son of Mr. Oda Danmasa Tadanohide, the former lord of Kono Castle!" The wandering samurai explained.
"Yes, it's that big idiot who has a headache, and why are you asking him about it?" The farmer had clearly ignited the burning soul of gossip and kept asking.
"Uh, you know that he is the son of the original city lord, the current city lord of Naguye City, as his lord, you still dare to call him a fool, do you have anything to do with him?" The wandering samurai smiled wryly as he removed the hat from his head.
"Hey, don't mention it, here, there is not a single person who does not resent that stupid melon. You can't imagine that not long ago, he brought many children to our melon field, wasted fifty or sixty melons, and then ran away! The farmer complained with a bitter face.
"Ah, I see, he once came to your field with a bunch of children to mischievous." The wandering warrior said with a look of sudden realization.
"Well, I didn't tell you these things because you were a vagabond, as long as we thought that stupid melon turned out to be our city lord, we had no intention of working...... The whole village thought the same way as I did. By the way, he's probably full and swimming in the river now, or he's taking a nap in the woods of Wakanomiya! The farmer said.
"Wakamiya's woods?" The samurai asked curiously.
"yes, you can see the woods just by the wall." The farmer said, pointing to the distant wall.
"Oh, okay, thank you, excuse me." As he spoke, the samurai put on his hat and walked in the direction the farmer had pointed.
"Well, there are really no strange things in this world, I really never imagined that Oda Nobuhide is such a big person, and his wife is so shrewd, why would he give birth to such a child?" The wandering samurai sighed as he looked up at the chirping birds in the sky, then moved his gaze to the dark green woods.
"Can you meet him when you come here?" The samurai walked into the forest talking to himself.
The woods seemed quiet at noon, and the samurai walked along the path in the forest while looking around. Probably because no one has been taking care of it for a long time, the grass on both sides grows very luxuriantly, taller than this samurai who is about 1.6 meters tall.
In fact, everyone knows that his height is generally no more than one meter six, so, well, let the grass on the side of the road despise him deeply.
"Huh? Someone ahead? "As a result of his years of martial arts, the samurai was keenly aware that there were other people in the forest besides himself.
"Ah, look at those figures, they are probably children!" It turned out that in the shade of the trees at the far end of this one-person forest path, a bunch of figures appeared. The strange warrior then slowly brushed aside the grass in the woods, and proceeded at a very slow pace, and as he was about to approach it, he carefully hid behind an ancient tree and watched from afar.
This...... What the hell is this...... What the hell is going on?
What caught the eyes of the middle-aged samurai was a small open space. The small clearing is surrounded by towering ancient trees, and the dense foliage makes the clearing very shady. In the middle of the open space is a circle about one or two meters long, and two children are playing sumo wrestling in the circle!
In fact, if it were two boys, the samurai would not have been surprised. However, look left, look right, look up, look down, even if you change a pair of kryptonite dog eyes and open your eyes wide, the two children in the circle are two big Loli who are no more than thirteen or fourteen years old!
And...... And...... Who's going to tell me.,For the gods and horses, the clothes of these two big loli.,It's exactly the same as what the sumo boys are wearing? Isn't it?,The two big Lori's in the circle,The upper body and lower body are naked like boys.,Even the feet are bare.,Just a crotch cloth around the waist.,And,The way of tying is exactly the same as that of a boy!
The two big Lori's eyes in the circle are very serious in each other's eyes. They each bent their hips, their eyes staring at each other without blinking, their toes on the ground, their knees outstretched, their waists steady and their shoulders relaxed, their hands on their knees, their upper bodies straight to maintain their center of gravity. Their skin is very fair, and their little faces are a little red because of their breath holding, which is very attractive.
"Not yet, not yet, continue to stare at each other, continue to stare at each other, and show your momentum!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came, drawing the wandering samurai's attention back to the two big loli.
The wandering samurai followed the sound and looked at it, only to find that in addition to the two big loli in the circle, there was also a young man sitting on a big rock a little farther away, and there were also many big loli dressed similarly, which were divided into two sides and sat around the boy without saying a word!
The one who spoke out just now was the teenager who was surrounded by a group of lori.
The boy looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, his hair tied up with clips in the center of the top of his head, and he was also holding his upper body, I don't know if it was because of the injury, and the bandages were tightly wrapped around the boy's slightly floating chest from the armpit to his abdomen.
