Chapter 616
After sending Sakura Rinko and Assuna away, everyone looked at Lucius with a strange look, as if they were watching a monkey in a circus.
Lecius was a little uncomfortable, so he glared at the crowd and shouted, "What do you see? Do I have flowers on my face? You have nothing else to do? What do you want to see here? Hurry up and move everything you need to do, we must do our best to carry out the rest of the plan." โ
Christine said unceremoniously: "You do have flowers on your face, and it is a peach blossom on your face, haven't you noticed that the female emperor seems to be interested in you?"
Lucius's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
But then, when he looked at the others, everyone seemed to agree with Christine.
In the end, Du Liniang also stepped forward and instructed: "Lucius, that female emperor's mind is unpredictable for the time being, so you still have to be careful, you can't be attracted by her gentleness now, it must be you who will suffer in the end, you can't be bound here by her." โ
Lucius couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Auntie, this kind of joke can't be made. โ
Du Liniang asked Lucius seriously: "Do you think Auntie is joking?"
Lucius was completely speechless, and could only turn his head to look at Caroline, Qilier and Modรจs, the three girls were full of murderous intent in their eyes, as if they might pounce on Lucius and tear them apart at any time.
In desperation, Lucius could only spread his hands and say, "I don't like the empress, so I'm afraid I can't afford her good intentions." โ
With the help of Soga Inamo, Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai, Takeda Koji successfully repelled the army that surrounded the Takeda family Chiba Castle, and returned to the Takeda family daimyo mansion, recaptured the military power strongly, and killed Takeda Hidetomi in public, and the Takeda family Those who had previously disobeyed him were also cleaned up by Takeda Koji.
Kneeling in the middle hall of the Takeda house, Oda Nobumitsu looked at the layout everywhere. I couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the traditional daimyo's mansion, and the birth of a nobleman is different." โ
Regarding Oda Nobumitsu's admiration, Takeda Koji said humbly: "Oda-kun praises, I believe that if Oda-kun breaks through Saitama this time, he will definitely be able to get the Uesugi family's daimyo's mansion, and when the time comes, with the Uesugi family's resources in hand, the Oda family will inevitably have a future that will not lose to my Takeda family." โ
"Hahaha......" Oda Nobumitsu laughed on his back, listening to Takeda Koji's words, he was immediately overjoyed by Lucius's order to let him attack Saitama.
However, Taiyuan Xuezhai poured cold water on it when he saw this: "Don't be happy too early." Even if some of Saitama's elite is lost, the Uesugi family is an ancient daimyo family after all, and it should not be underestimated, so you still have to think of countermeasures in advance, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to break through Saitama Castle, but you will put yourself in it. โ
Hearing what Taiyuan Yukisai said, Oda Nobumitsu suddenly calmed down, looked at Taiyuan Yukisai with a restrained smile and asked, "Taiyuan-kun, what do you think about attacking Saitama?"
Taiyuan Xuezhai took a sip of tea. He said very calmly: "I don't have any opinion, in fact, His Highness Lucius's offensive strategy, I think it's very good, but you need to pay attention." Don't underestimate the heritage of the Uesugi family, after all, the Uesugi family is an ancient daimyo family. โ
Oda Nobumitsu thought about it, and suddenly felt a cold sweat, if it weren't for Taiyuan Xuezhai reminding himself. I'm afraid he has almost ignored the Uesugi family's heritage.
If that's the case, Oda Nobumitsu will almost be able to meet after he attacks Saitama. If he can't conquer Saitama Castle in one go, then he will end up in a bitter battle, and he will even be annexed by the Uesugi family in turn.
Seeing that Oda Nobumitsu understood what he meant, Taiyuan Xuezhai continued: "Actually, for us, this is an opportunity, but at the same time it is very dangerous, if we are not careful, we may be wiped out, and although His Royal Highness Lucius will personally take action, then there will be no chance for us." โ
As he spoke, Taiyuan Yukisai looked at Oda Nobumitsu and Soga Inami: "I know that the two of you have always wanted to become a daimyo, so now is your chance." โ
Su I Inamome asked a little puzzled, "Don't you want to become a daimyo?"
Taiyuan Xuezhai shook his head: "No, I don't want to, I'm just a monk, so I can't become a daimyo, I am willing to follow His Highness Lucius forever." โ
Oda Nobumitsu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Hahaha, Taiyuan-kun, what are you kidding? His Royal Highness Lucius is not here, you don't have to be so nervous, and we won't say what you think, don't always be so strict, it's good to talk and laugh occasionally." โ
Taiyuan Xuezhai always smiled unrestrainedly: "No, I'm not joking, I really want to follow His Royal Highness Lucius forever, and as a monk, I am indeed not suitable to become a daimyo." โ
The other three looked at each other, and Oda Nobumitsu asked with some puzzlement, "You are not suitable to become a daimyo?"
Taiyuan Xuezhai glanced at Oda Nobumitsu with deep meaning, and then said seriously: "This matter, His Royal Highness Lucius will naturally have arrangements at that time, we just need to complete our respective tasks according to the plan, and the Ibaraki side is already relatively barren." โ
Hearing Taiyuan Xuezhai say this, in fact, the three people present were a little nervous in their hearts, although Ibaraki was relatively barren, and there were no powerful daimyo occupied.
But after all, it is a piece of land, and if you get a piece of land, you can get more resources, and you can have more sufficient manpower and material resources to develop your own power.
The Takeda family actually coveted Ibaraki for a long time, and even when Takeda Koji's father was alive, he wanted to use troops against Ibaraki many times, but the Takeda family has Takeda Takeshi, who has always wanted to seize power, and there are several powerful daimyo in the west outside, and the Tokugawa family in Kyoto is staring at it.
Therefore, although the Takeda family coveted Ibaraki, they never used troops against Ibaraki, but Takeda Takeshi once attacked Ibaraki with his army and plundered a lot of materials from Ibaraki.
This is also the reason why Takeda Takeshi's strength in the Takeda family became stronger and stronger later, even Takeda Hidetomi's group of family elders were far inferior to Takeda Takeshi's troops.
Now, Lucius ordered Taiyuan Yukisai to attack Ibaraki, and Taiyuan Yukisai made it clear that he would not establish himself as a daimyo with troops in Ibaraki, which is equivalent to saying that the conquered Ibaraki Castle will become a borderless land.
Koji Takeda, Soga Inamo, and Oda Nobumitsu all had to be moved, but Oda Nobumitsu had a more prosperous Saitama after all, and it was not inevitable for Ibaraki.
Koji Takeda is now in charge of the Takeda family's Chiba, so naturally he doesn't necessarily have to get Ibaraki.
Of the three people present, Soga Inamome was the one who was most interested in Ibaraki, but Soga Inamome knew that he couldn't do anything without permission, and he had to get the consent of Lucius.
Taiyuan Xuezhai seemed to see Su Idao's thoughts, and as his former master, he still gave some Jianyi: "Su Ijun, if you really want to get the position of the daimyo and get the land of Ibaraki, I think it's best for you to leave now and go to meet His Highness Lucius." โ
Su I Daomu looked at Taiyuan Xuezhai with some puzzlement, and the latter reminded in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Lucius, he has no interest in Fusang, he will not forcibly occupy Fusang's land." โ
After listening to Taiyuan Xuezhai's reminder, the three people present suddenly understood, knowing that Lucius was actually not interested in Fusang, and would not forcibly occupy Fusang's land, but if he wanted to become the lord of a certain place, he had to inform Lucius in advance, which was regarded as his master.
Su I Inamome first bowed to Taiyuan Xuezhai, and then stood up directly, and said as he walked outside: "Takeda-kun, please prepare a fast horse for me, I will go to see His Highness immediately." โ
Takeda Koji didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered to prepare horses for Soga Inamo, looking at the back of Soga Inamo's departure, Takeda Koji sighed: "Hey, although Ibaraki is barren, it's also a good piece of meat, so give it to others, Oda-kun, don't you have any ideas?"
Oda Nobumitsu understood that the other party was testing him, so he grinned and said, "Haha, what is Ibaraki? As long as you follow His Highness Lucius, are you afraid that you won't be able to get your own land in the future?"
Taiyuan Xuezhai responded coldly to Takeda Koji's provocation: "Takeda-kun, what you want to think about now is not what we can get, but what you can get? โ
Takeda Koji was taken aback when he heard this, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly felt afraid for a while, and understood that what Taiyuan Xuezhai said was not impossible.
Instead, he quickly got up and wanted to walk outside the house, and quickly summoned the samurai in the family, and directly ordered: "Tell all the elders and retainers of the family, let them all come to the middle hall for a meeting, I have something to explain to them." โ
Seeing Takeda Koji's nervous appearance, Oda Nobumitsu glanced at Taiyuan Yukisai and said: "It seems that Taiyuan-kun is really still a step ahead, he doesn't want the name of a big name, and he saves a lot of trouble, otherwise if you have to take care of such a big family, it will inevitably go wrong under distraction." โ
Taiyuan Yuishai stared at Oda Nobumitsu, and suddenly smiled and said: "Hehe, Oda-kun, I'm not like you, you have a family support, I'm just a loner, and getting the name and status of a daimyo is a burden for me." โ
Speaking of this, Taiyuan Xuezhai changed his words: "But Oda-kun, I want to remind you that sometimes, your relatives may not be trustworthy, you look at the current Takeda family, and that Takeda Hidetomi, in the end, it didn't end up like this, so one person also has the benefits of one person, isn't it?"
Taiyuan Yukisai's words made Oda Nobumitsu's smile suddenly stiffen, and he couldn't say a word for half a sound, thinking of Takeda Hidetomi's fate, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
Seeing Oda Nobu's uncertain expression, Taiyuan Xuezhai secretly mocked in his heart: You guys, do you think it's a good thing to become a lord? Just the matter within your own family can break your will, or is it safest to follow His Highness Lucius. (To be continued......)
