Maeda Toshiya exchanged a few words with the Ji samurai sitting there, but Lin Xiuzhen's face was a little unnatural.

The Maeda family was originally under the command of the Lin family, and in the Battle of Inayu, the Maeda Toshiya persuaded his mother Maeda Toshimasa to stab the Lin family in the back.

Now that time has passed, she, the old man of the Oda family, has declined, and she has long lost the heart to settle accounts with the Maeda family.

Subsequently, under the auspices of Shibata Katsuie, the military review began.

Spring ploughing has ended one after another, and the forces of various countries have begun to stir again.

Mino's Isshiki Yoshiryu and Rokkaku Yoshiken teamed up with the intention of pinching Kita-Omi after spring ploughing.

This incident made Oda Nobunaga helpless, she swallowed Owari just now, and no matter how fast she digested it, she couldn't catch up with the spring ploughing battle, so she could only watch Isshiki Yoshilong conquer Kita-Omi and expand his power.

In Oda's family, the dispute between the East and West Mino Raiders also triggered different thoughts of the retainers, and the Shibata Katsu family was under a lot of pressure.

The strategy of Dongmino she proposed was slapped in the face in public by a small Fenggong under Niwa Nagahide.

If you can't defend your dignity with the results of the war, your prestige will be damaged, and you won't have a good time in the future.

Oda Nobunaga's attitude is ambiguous, but judging from the attitude of the East and West Mino Raiders who have expressed their support, the governor is still waiting.

Shibata Katsuya glanced at the scene, and all the people sitting there were old samurai from Shimoowari.

"I'm sure you also know that my strategy of Dongmino was blocked by a little monkey and I lost face in the big review.

If you can't make some achievements this year, I'm afraid that you won't be able to gain a foothold in the Oda family in the future. ”

The next head Ichihime snorted and supported her.

"Lord Shibata, your abilities are known to all the concubines here.

I don't know which little thing that runs out of the horns, and I don't know the rules, so why should you care about it.

Next time, I'll cut it for you. ”

This person is talking very aggressively, and it is none other than Sakuma Nobumori.

Before Oda Nobuyuki's rebellion, the Sakuma family stood on the side of Oda Nobunaga.

Sakuma Nobumori also made a lot of contributions in the barrel narrow, and he was full of ambition and didn't have many scruples about talking.

Shibata Katsuie smiled and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

In addition to Oda Nobunaga's direct retainers, the retainers in the family were mainly divided into two groups.

The first is the military generals led by Shibata Katsuie, who are willing to follow Oda Nobunaga to expand the territory and make new contributions.

The second is the conservatives, who feel that taking down the entire Owari Province is already a success, and they should live a good life behind closed doors, led by Lin Xiuzhen and Sakuma Nobumori.

Shibata Katsuya disagreed with Sakuma Nobumori's words, although he was not as passive as Lin Xiuzhen to avoid the war, but this person's fighting spirit was not strong, at most it was a mud.

Shibata Katsuya values the Sakuma family the most, or the daughter of her brother she married, Sakuma Morimasa.

She saw Maeda Toshiya looking left and right and asked.

"Li Jiaji, who are you looking for?"

Toshiie Maeda replied with a smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious why the Takigawa family didn't come."

The elegant warrior Ji beside him bowed slightly and apologized, and then interjected.

"Takigawa Kazuki was called by Lord Ikeda Hengxing to help preside over the mother's clothes, and the power of the Takigawa family was sent over there, so naturally he didn't come."

It was Sasa Chengmasa who spoke, and she looked at the Maeda family with pity, and she really couldn't figure out why she ran away.

If the Maeda Toshiya does not leave the Oda family, even if Takigawa Kazuki and Ikeda Hengxing have a bad relationship, it will not be her turn to preside over the mother's house.

Now that the Takigawa family is cheaper, climbing the high branches, and having a channel to show his face in front of the lord, it seems that he is about to soar.

Sasa Narumasa is also actively moving closer to Oda Nobunaga, but he can't get in for a while.

Maeda Toshiie smiled at her and bowed to thank her for her answer.

There were many problems with the Oda retainers, and the internal intricacies were complicated, and Oda Nobunaga had bad intentions when he threw most of the genealogy to Inuyama Castle under the command of Shibata Katsuie.

For this careerist who strives for the top, the most annoying thing is not to make progress. If she sees who wants to cheat and cheat, I'm afraid it won't end well in the future.

Shibata Katsuya wanted to say something uplifting, but he was interrupted by Sakuma Nobumori first, and then met Maeda Toshiya Gu left and right to talk about him, and the atmosphere cooled down for a while.

She was a little upset and asked about Maeda Toshiya.

"I heard that Li Jiaji gave advice to that little monkey, and after she went to Ximinon, she already made some moves?"

Maeda Toshiya looked at Shibata Katsuya with a smile, this soldier who seemed to be a straight intestine was actually very delicate.

He looked down on Kinoshita Hideyoshi on his lips, but he stared at it very tightly in private.

"Shibata-sama is too worried, I just made some suggestions, let her go to Nishimino to see where it is convenient to build a castle."

Shibata Katsuya squinted and thought about it, and said.

"Li Jiaji is powerful, it is indeed a way, the south bank does not succeed to go to the north shore, I am afraid that this monkey's ability is too poor and ruins your good idea."

Toshiie Maeda shook his head.

"It's difficult to build a castle, and you don't have to be tough, as long as Niwa-sama's supplies and peasants can keep up, Kinoshita Hideyoshi is still expected to achieve his goal.

I guess she'll build a castle in the Sumamata region, located above the headwaters of many rivers, and can be attacked and defended. ”

Shibata Katsuya frowned and said displeasedly.

"Li Jiaji is talking to that monkey like this, is there any dissatisfaction with me?"

Maeda Toshiya shook his head and said sincerely.

"Lord Shibata, the strategy of Nishimino is beneficial to us, and we should be happy to see it become a talent."

Shibata Katsuya and the sitting Hime Samurai suddenly became interested, and they both looked at Maeda Toshiya and listened to her continue.

"Inabayama Castle is located in the center of Mino, and there are half east and half east and half of Mino.

Although the center can take care of the left and right, what if something happens on both sides?

Nishimino is mostly an affiliated samurai, and his mind is chaotic. Fighting a war is secondary, the focus is on attacking the heart, and discord is more useful than the battle array.

And the East Mino is more stable than the West Mino, and the Isshiki Yoshiro is relatively reassuring.

Taking advantage of her attention to the Ximino samurai, we will seize a city today, occupy a village tomorrow, and invade and encroach. By the time she reacted, the tide was gone.

The most important thing is that fighting in this way, saving materials, will not increase the burden on our families. ”

Shibata Katsuya nodded silently, it made sense.

Oda Nobunaga threw most of the generation over, definitely asking them to support the war with military rations and reduce the consumption of the main family.

But everyone is selfish, and it's always good to lose less.

Maeda Toshiya is right, let the monkey make the wind and rain in Ximinon, attract the attention of Isshiki Yilong, we do things in Dongmino in a low-key manner, and eat affordable!

Shibata Katsuya asked with a smile.

"Do you have a strategy?"

Maeda Toshiya nodded and said.

"Shibata-sama asked, and I made a fool of myself.

Inuyama Castle is on the south bank of the Kiso River, opposite Unuma Castle, and Saruyama Castle is crossing the river with the momentum of the horns to contain our army.

As long as these two cities are taken, our army will be able to advance and retreat freely, and enter and exit the East Mino as if it were no one.

Therefore, after the spring ploughing, the raid captured the two cities, and then the female waited for the time and slowly eroded. ”

Shibata Katsuya laughed.

"Yinghen sees the same thing, Li Jiaji and I have the same idea.

Isshiki Yoshilong thought that my Oda family was unable to go on the Northern Expedition, so he went to fight in Kita-Omi with peace of mind.

But although I don't have so many supplies to attack Higashiminon, it is still enough for each family to squeeze in the military supplies and defeat the Unuma and the two cities of Saru.

She didn't think I'd do it, and it was the best time.

Attack it unprepared, and go down in one go! ”

Maeda Toshiya bowed.

"Shibata-sama is wise."

Shibata Katsuya waved his hand proudly, and Lin Xiuzhen suddenly spoke.

"I don't know if the governor will support us with some supplies."

Shibata Katsuie's face instantly sank and glanced at her.

The two became strangers after the Battle of Inayu, and the ugliness of Lin Xiuzhen after the defeat made Shibata Katsuya despised.

She said coldly.

"Your Highness is busy integrating household chores, it's just a trivial matter between the two cities, can't we fight it ourselves? Do you still have to bother the governor of the family? ”

Lin Xiuzhen was silent, but Maeda Toshiya was curious and asked.

"What has His Highness Oda been up to lately?"

Shibata Katsuya was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.

After all, Maeda Toshiya is a courtier of the Spo family, and it is not appropriate to tell her about the administration of the Oda family.

She was still hesitating, and Sakuma Nobumori on the side was already open-mouthed and said.

"Recently, His Royal Highness has been busy changing the military system, saying that he wants to establish two new positions, Ashigaru General and Ashigaru Head, both of which are held by Ji Samurai, but Ashigaru is allowed to make meritorious contributions.

I don't understand, Your Highness values the importance so much, what is the use of these wastes. ”

Sazo Chengzheng followed lightly.

"This ashigaru military system seems to have come from the Spo Territory."

Everyone's eyes were on the Maeda family, and there were doubts and vigilance.

Maeda Toshiie's face did not change and said.

"The Spo family's Ashigaru law is my own hand, just to take care of Ashigaru's relatives and descendants, and give some food to support the family."

She wasn't lying.

Giving some money and food is a trivial matter, but giving a light upward channel is a major matter that infringes on the interests of all martial artists.

Oda Nobunaga can do it, and others dare not say it when they are scolded in their hearts. If she Maeda Toshiya becomes the initiator, she will definitely die.

In fact, the Sibo family also has a way to rise, that is, those with outstanding military merits enter the martial arts family as a daughter-in-law, and give Ji the status of a warrior.

This practice can't lift a few ashigaru, and it is also in line with the rules of the samurai, which is not excessive.

The hostility of the concubines was dispersed.

After only a while, under Maeda Toshiie's calm appearance, his back was soaked with cold sweat, which showed the great pressure.

Shibata Katsuya shook his head, and it was not good to say much about the rights and wrongs of the lord, so he changed the topic and said.

"Don't say a few words, Your Highness has his own considerations, all for the prosperity of the family.

It is said that these days are still summoning merchants, wanting to demolish the customs offices in various places, Leshi Lezao, and I don't know if it has any effect. ”

Maeda Toshiya silently listened to the Oda retainers leak the governor's policy measures, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
