Chapter 258: Singing to Wine

The place where the drink was was was not in the Oda family's base camp, but in a makeshift tent.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Oda stood behind Oda Nobunaga, and Sima Yi and others stood behind Cao Cao. Compared to the two people who sat down, the eight of them were much more serious.

"Singing about wine, what is life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Nobunaga, although the poetry of Lone is the same as the fifty years of your life, the feelings you want to express in the end are different. ”

"Oh? Is it? Also, who told me to read it out before I died? ”

"No, no, no, you haven't understood what loneliness means. Lone's original intention in writing this poem was to recruit talents. At that time, although Lone had strength, he was not a hegemon, and he was feared.

There have been a lot of recruitment orders such as merit seeking orders and raising priest orders. At the beginning, there were not many people who responded to the call of loneliness, and the world at that time was nominally the world of the Han family, but in fact it was a hereditary and powerful world. It is difficult for people to get ahead, and it is even more difficult to build a family.

It is undeniable that Lone is not a hereditary hero, but his life is a little better than that of Shuren. If it weren't for the defeat of Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, he wouldn't have sat here alone and talked about life with you.

O Nobunaga! Emphasizing talent in troubled times, emphasizing virtue in prosperous times, and having both ability and political integrity are valued by every leader. But everything is difficult to complete, and virtue and talent have always been the focus of controversy. Some people value talent, and some people value morality, but no matter what, as long as it can be used.

Lone is a contradiction, at the beginning, Lone attaches great importance to people's talents, and when it develops to a certain height, Lone becomes more important to people's virtues. In his later years, in the north ruled by Lone, the people lived relatively wealthy, and Lone began to tap talents with both ability and political integrity.

Lonely is afraid of death, so it is not as heroic as you. At some point, in some cases, the fighter will be delayed, and the fruits of the expansion of the victory will be abruptly halted. On the other hand, however, this may be a good thing.

Fear of death and sparing one's life mean the same thing, but cherishing one's life is better than being afraid of death. Lone has a lot of affection for the soldiers, so he is surrounded by the soldiers who are trained by the lone hand.

No matter where he goes, Lone will take his children with him, and he will also let Lone's descendants be stationed not far away. This practice seems to outsiders to be afraid of death, but in objective fact, it is indeed the best way to save life.

In the early stage of the Honnoji Rebellion, if you had left more descendants by your side, would you have succeeded in the sneak attack of Akechi Mitsuhide? Besides, your Imperial Majesty's technique is very problematic, and if this matter is placed on Lone's body, there is a ninety percent chance that it will not happen.

You must know that you are the leader of the Oda family, the master of Akechi Mitsuhide, and even if Akechi Mitsuhide recruits his own people, those people are also your indirect subordinates.

The following offenses are rebellions, and those who are willing to follow Wise Mitsuhide do not mean that they have no brains, but that they have not taken you as their master from beginning to end.

Nobunaga, at first you were cautious, wise, and courageous, but in the later stages, why did you become confused? Don't say you don't know the enemies on the surface and the enemies that lurk, if you do, Lone will give you a mouth right away!

It can be said that your death can be boiled down to two words in the end, arrogance!

What is arrogance? A series of heroic battles, and the fear and surrender of the surrounding daimyos, make your self-confidence swell dramatically, and you become unsightly, thinking that your own thoughts are the thoughts of the world, and that where you are, everyone will bow down.

The title of the Great Demon King is true, and the exploits of the glorious battles are also true, but behind all this, have you ever wondered what prompted you to obtain them? Is it a person? Or a group of people?

It is true that you played a great role during this period, but without you, would these things have happened, and would the trajectory of history have stopped? The answer is no, without Oda Nobunaga, there would be Tokugawa Ieyasu, there would be Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After you die, history shows it with facts. The unification of Dongying is only a matter of time, not a matter of one person's ability.

Come on, dry this bowl! Lone would love to hear what you have to say. Cao Cao said that his mouth was dry, and only then did he remember that the table was full of fine wine and had not yet taken a sip.

"Ding" a clinking sound. Cao Cao and Oda Nobunaga drank the wine from the bowl.

Putting down the wine bowl, Cao Cao picked up the wine jug. He motioned for himself to come and let him speak.

"Cao Cao, for as long as I can remember, I have known that if you want to dominate the world, this process will be difficult. The Oda family in Qingzhou City is not a strong family, but only slightly powerful. If you want the flag of the Oda family to spread all over Toei, you can't rely on yourself.

So, I had my own plan. Seemingly uninhibited, I wandered through the market. However, do those who are high up know it? The master is in the people, and if you want to break the old order, you must quote fresh blood.

Once the masters of the folk are used by me, they will follow me to the death. This is a talent that I have made with my heart, and even if there is a relationship of interest, it is based on feelings.

They dare to fight, dare to charge, and have no scruples. This was well demonstrated in later campaigns. Later, as the team continued to expand and the power extended, I also needed the support of famous families, so it became reasonable to absorb those talents.

I want to thank my younger brother, without whom I would not have been able to take that resolute and decisive step. I would like to thank my father-in-law, without whom I could not have a solid rear and who enabled me to set the course of the easy and then the difficult. These are the first people I want to thank.

For the second batch, I would like to thank my enemies for making me strong and for leaving my name on the long scrolls of history.

For the third batch, I would like to thank my brothers and subordinates, without whom there would be no Oda family and no Oda Nobunaga.

After I was reborn, I reflected, at first I hated Mitsu-so, but now I don't, because I found that I am not a good master, and I have not considered their feelings with my heart. If I could use more snacks, Mitsuhide wouldn't do anything that would make him faint.

Cao Cao, I don't know if you're satisfied with what I'm saying. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Only you understand what I say. ”

"Ding", the sound of clinking bowls sounded again. This time, the two of them drank more quickly and violently.

The sound of pouring wine sounded, and this time it was Oda Nobunaga who snatched the flask and took the initiative to fill it for them.

"Nobunaga, Lone is glad to have a drink with you. We don't need to say anything more, because we all know what to do next.

The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”

"Ding", the third time to touch the bowl. It's just that this time, the two of them can drink as slowly as they can.
