Thousands of horsemen. [No pop-up novel network]

Although Luo Di doesn't know much about the official position of the dwarf clan, he can understand it when he hears this name, and the Oda Nobunaga in front of him must be a general who commands cavalry! The island country of the dwarf clan does not produce war horses, and the country is a small country, and it is impossible to have large-scale steamed bun war horses, so most of the troops are infantry, and the cavalry is extremely valuable and scarce.

And the person who can let the shogun hand over the rarest and most valuable cavalry to the commander, then presumably his status in the shogunate is naturally Sugigao, it seems that Kikukawa Yukinari said that he is the number one general under the shogun, presumably true.

And Nitis thought even deeper.

This Oda Nobunaga is a powerful figure at first glance, and there is still such a talent in the shogunate! Could it be that Koichi Kikukawa is even more powerful than this Oda Nobunaga!

Oda Nobunaga just glanced at a few people lightly, and said coldly: "The general rings the bell to summon the order, I will go in first" After speaking, he strode in without looking back, and several samurai who came on horseback behind him also walked neatly behind him, with a proud demeanor. didn't even look at this general's son in the slightest.

Kikuzene Yukinari secretly clenched his fists, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Roddy patted him lightly on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "This Oda Nobunaga doesn't seem to be right with you?"

Kikukawa Yukinari nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "He is a 'thousand cavalry generals' under his father, and the cavalry of our Yaqi Country is under his command, and he has always been unpopular! Except for my father, he didn't even buy my brother's tent. ”

Luo Di smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Is it the commander of the cavalry?"

Luo Di himself is a cavalry commander, and the "Thor's Whip" under his command is an invincible cavalry legion that is vertical and horizontal 6, and even the most powerful Holy Knights of Roland 6 are slightly inferior. Although this Oda Nobunaga has a good momentum, and the knights under him are also vigorous, but in Luo Di's eyes, it is only an average level, and there are too many such people in his "Thor's Whip". So I don't care.

Nidith sighed. He said lightly: "Young Master Kikukawa, since this Oda Nobunaga and your brother are not on the right path, you should not be hostile to him! If you want to make a difference, then you have to remember a key: the enemy of your enemy is your friend! If I am you, instead of being hostile to him, it is better to win him over and use it for my own use!"

Kikukawa Yukinari's eyes showed a little surprise, and then a gleam flashed, and he lowered his head and said, "Xingcheng has been taught!"

He seemed to perk up a little, and led the group into the shogunate.

Roddy was quite interested in the "Thousand Horsemen". I couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Kikukawa Yukinari is extremely dependent on the three of them at the moment, and he knows everything.

It turned out that because of the limitations of congenital geographical conditions, and the fact that the dwarves were born short and not good at riding, there were not many cavalry armies of the dwarves, and the cavalry army of the whole country was only one cavalry regiment.

This cavalry regiment is no more than 10,000 people, and the reason why Oda Nobunaga is called "Thousand Cavalry Generals" is because he commanded this cavalry army of 10,000 people, and 10,000 people except himself, the cavalry under his command is exactly 9,999 people, which are still retained in the "thousand" number, so he is called "Thousand Cavalry Generals".

Originally, I thought that the hierarchy of the shogunate would be very strict. Luo Di and the other three are nominally the retainers of Kikukawa Yukinari and can't participate, but it seems that the old general really loves this little son very much, and he actually let them all in!

In a spacious room, more than a dozen people, old and young, sat on either side. The habit of the dwarves is that there are no chairs in the room, but a soft pedal is used to spread out in the room, and people kneel on top of this soft couch and sit on their calves, this habit makes Roddy quite uncomfortable, but fortunately the three of them are not enough to sit down, just standing behind Ju Yucheng.

There is a platform in the middle of the top, which is naturally the position of the shogun, and then the first position on the lower left, there is a young man with a capable appearance, this one is wearing a samurai armor, his eyebrows are shining, there is a faint pride, his lips are tightly pursed, and his face is clearly lined, obviously this person must be a person with a resolute character.

This person is a little older than Kikukawa Kosei, but there is a faint resemblance between his eyebrows, so naturally it must be Kikukawa Kosei's brother Kikukawa Konichi.

Below Kikukawa Koichi, there was a middle-aged man, this man was wearing a samurai robe, his face was fierce, and there was a thin scar on his face, and his eyes clearly showed a fierce light like a beast, but when he looked at Kikukawa Koichi beside him, he showed a little respect and submission.

In comparison, Kikukawa Yukinari's seat was much lower, and it was obvious that the youngest son of the old shogun did not have a high status in the shogunate. The people around him didn't talk to him very much, and seemed a little isolated.

At this moment, the old general Kikukawa has not yet appeared, although everyone has arrived, they are all whispering, that Kikukawa Yasuichi is really quite prestigious, and those old ministers of the shogunate look very intimate to him, Kikukawa Yukinari saw it in his eyes, and his face gradually became difficult to see. Nidith stood behind him and just whispered, "Don't talk, watch and listen, talk!"

Roddy looked left and right, but now that the "Thousand Horsemen" Oda Nobunaga was not in the room.

After a few moments, the back door of the room was pulled open in a flash. A majestic old voice coughed softly, and the room fell silent at once, and then two men stepped out from behind the sliding door.

The first one is an old man with gray temples, this appearance is faintly similar to Kikukawa Yasuichi, a pair of eyes seem to be slightly closed, and only occasionally look forward to revealing a sharp gaze. He wore a brocade robe and simply draped it over his body. This person is naturally the shogun of this generation of shogunate, Lao Kikukawa!

The person who followed behind was the "Thousand Cavalry General" Oda Nobunaga, he was expressionless at the moment, just nodded lightly to everyone, walked over and sat on the first seat on the right below.

After Old Kikukawa sat down, everyone immediately raised their heads to look at the actual ruler of the Swiss Yaqi Kingdom, but Roddy was most interested in that "Thousand Cavalry General", but he actually inadvertently appeared Oda Nobunaga and that eldest young master Kikukawa Koichi seemed to secretly exchange glances! Kikukawa Yasuichi's eyes just swept lightly towards Oda Nobunaga, and the Thousand Cavalry General only nodded slightly.

Are the rumors of their feud false?

The old general coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "The reason why you have summoned all the gentlemen here today is because the battle on the front line is tight! Wu You Qianbei has already sent people to report the emergency! I am afraid that in less than five days at most, the Roland people will hit Kawado!"

Kikukawa Yasuichi reacted extremely quickly, and when everyone was still exclaiming, he was the first to reply loudly: "Father, please let me take Erlang on the expedition! I will take the 'Maruki' people to wipe out the Roland people from the land!"

He had already risen from his place and slammed the katana he was carrying on the table in front of him, his face full of determination.

In contrast, Kikukawa Yukinari's face was a little complicated, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment, but lowered his head. Luo Di sighed secretly in his heart, this little young master is so weak, if it were me, I would not have chosen him as the heir.

Sure enough, as soon as Kikukawa Yasuichi finished speaking, a group of generals sitting under him spoke out in support.

"Hmph!" A cold snort was extremely unusual in everyone's impassioned words, only to see Oda Nobunaga snort coldly, suddenly stood up, and shouted: "General, I think the first step is to investigate the defeat and dereliction of responsibility of Lord Wuyou Senbei! He commanded 50,000 troops, but the Roland people lost their armor and lost four military fortresses along the way, allowing the Roland people to drive straight in! If you don't punish him first, I'm afraid that the samurai under your command will not accept it!"

The old general nodded and said in a low voice: "I decided to choose a person to go to the south with 'Marugui' and 'Thousand Horses' for reinforcements, but this person decided that I want to hear everyone's opinions! I will not forgive Wu You Qianbei's guilt! As soon as the people I sent arrive, I will collect Wu You Qianbei's army and order him to commit suicide by cutting his stomach! Princes, take a look, who will lead the troops south?"

Kikukawa Yasuichi reacted the fastest, strode up a few steps, fell to the ground in the middle, and said loudly: "I am willing to share my father's worries!"

Oda Nobunaga sneered, and also stood up and said loudly: "The eldest prince is in charge of the defense of Kyoto, so leave this matter of going south to me!"

Both of them knelt in the middle, but they glared at each other fiercely, as if they were quite angry, but Roddy felt a little strange in his heart, and seemed to always feel that there was a faint tacit understanding between the two of them.

This thousand horsemen also seemed to have quite prestige among the generals of the shogunate, and when he came out to fight, the original call for support for Kikukawa Koichi was immediately much smaller, and many people closed their mouths and carefully observed the direction of the wind!

Nidis stabbed him hard in the back of Kikukawa and whispered, "It's your turn to speak!"

"Huh?" Kikukawa Yukinari seemed stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"

"Stupid!" Niceh scolded herself, gritting her teeth, "If you still want to make a difference, this is your chance to be in the limelight!"

"But, I ......" Kikukawa Yukinari was still about to say something, but Nidis was already impatient, and slapped Kikukawa Yukinari out with a hard palm in the back.

At this moment, the two of them were arguing, and suddenly they heard a sharp voice, "Oops!"

Kikukawa Yukinari had a pain in his back, and was pushed so hard that he stumbled out, and just plopped down behind the two people in the middle.

"Huh, Xingcheng?" Old General Kikukawa seemed a little surprised when he saw the person kneeling in front of him, but there was a faint surprise behind the surprise. I can't imagine that my little son, who has always loved him, is finally going to make a move today!

Coughing lightly, the old general said in a deep voice: "Xingcheng, why did you come out?

Kikukawa Yusei was already sweating on his forehead, and said, "Yes, yes, it's been handled!"

The old general suppressed the surprise in his heart, but pretended to sink his face and shouted: "Since it has been handled, why didn't you come back and tell me earlier!

"I'm ......" Kikukawa Yukinari was nervous in his heart, and he didn't know why, suddenly blessed his heart, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, remembering Nidis's words just now, and his heart was inexplicably not nervous.

He raised his head slowly, with a somewhat flat smile on his face, clearly with a confident demeanor, where is there still a little panicked?

"Father...... I'm sorry I came back late......" Kikukawa Yukinari's eyes flashed with peace and wisdom, and he exhaled lightly, and said lightly: "That's because I lost my ...... on the road of life"

"Silent ......"

I originally thought that this young master, who had always been a little crazy, had enlightened himself today, but I didn't want him to say such a "philosophical" sentence at such a serious meeting. Everyone looked at each other for a while, dumbfounded.

Even Yasuichi Kikukawa couldn't help but think in his heart: Isn't my brother really crazy? That's good news......

Kikukawa Yukinari was not nervous at all in his heart, he really had a bit of entangled eloquence, and said eloquently: "Father, I went to Lie Kawado, and I was deeply surprised by the situation in my Yaki country, in the face of such a situation, I can no longer tolerate my past actions!"

The old general was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, you have finally opened your mind, which is a good thing, but now is not the time to talk about this, let me ask you, what is your opinion on the candidate who will lead the troops south this time?"

Kikukawa Xingcheng coughed, his expression became more respectful, and he said in a low voice: "I have no right to say anything about this kind of major matter of commanding the army............" As soon as he said this, everyone felt that although this little young master was not very good, he still had self-knowledge, but Kikukawa Xingcheng's voice changed, but he said: "It's just that I think that no matter who commands the troops, at least they must have a full understanding of the current situation in the south! I have a few doubts in my heart, and I think that if anyone clarifies these questions, then he will naturally succeed immediately!"
