Outside Odamata Castle, in addition to Maeno Nagayasu, who respectfully knelt in front of Nobunaga, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, Sakuma Nobumori and other important ministers all followed behind Oda Nobunaga, which shows how much Nobunaga attached importance to the construction of the castle in Sumamata.

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga had been waiting outside the city for a long time, the clan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted all the way to Nobunaga, knelt down beside Maeno Nagayasu and said: "The subordinate Takayama clan clan does not know that the lord has arrived, and he has missed the distance, please forgive the lord." ”

Nobunaga nodded, without blaming, just said lightly: "You did a good job this time, seal ......"

The clan didn't wait for Nobunaga to finish speaking, and said directly: "My lord! The subordinates do not ask for a reward, but only want to be able to return to the lord's side, and ask the lord for permission. ”

Although the clan also knew in his heart that he would not give Shibata Katsuya face to say this request directly in front of so many retainers, but he couldn't take care of it a lot, as for the reward, although the clan felt pain, but if he could follow Nobunaga, with Nobunaga's generosity, this reward would be nothing, and it wouldn't take long to earn it back with interest.

Nobunaga delegated the Takayama clan to Shibata Katsuya a year ago, just to avoid face damage, and also has the intention of beating, now seeing that he is sincere, and talent is rare, it must still be reused.

After thinking about it, Nobunaga said solemnly: "Since you have already realized your mistakes, and now that your merits and demerits are offset, I will allow you to become my direct retainer, and if you commit it again in the future, you will not be spared." Get up. ”

After hearing this, the clan was overjoyed, and after a year, Lao Tzu finally came back. The clan sect hurriedly said, "Thank you Lord for your grace. ”

Shibata Katsuya saw that the lord had taken the Takayama clan back again, his face was gloomy, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. He thinks that he takes great care of the Gaoshan clan on weekdays, if he hadn't come forward at that time, he would have been exiled by the lord a long time ago, and whether it was his big wedding or opening a shop, he was also supportive, if the lord openly asked for someone, it would be okay, but he was good, in front of so many people, he couldn't get off the stage, this kid was heartless, I don't know what to do.

But soon Shibata Katsuya's heart was a little shaken, alas, young people, after all, they are a little young and vigorous, I think when I was young, wasn't it like this, anyway, I was working for the lord, so forget it. This kid too, won't say hello to me in advance, is he afraid that I won't let go? After this bastard boy goes back, he must educate him well, otherwise he really thinks that he is a cautious eye.

Since the clan became Shibata Katsuya and force, and married Sakura, in the heart of the Shibata Katsuya, he has long regarded the clan as his own child, although he felt a little angry because the clan did not communicate with him in advance, but he also looked forward to the clan being able to develop in the Oda family, after all, the clan is also his own family, and now he has become the direct minister of the lord, and he also has a light on his face. So after Shibata Katsuya thought of this, his face softened again.

After settling the affairs of the clan, Nobunaga focused his attention on Maeno Nagayasu. Maeno Nagayasu didn't dare to look at each other, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Clan Zong thought to himself, since he had promised Maeno Nagayasu a few kind words in front of Nobunaga, then he must do it, samurai, the most important thing is credit. And although it is not possible to recruit him to his command now, it is impossible to say in the future, now is the time to lay the foundation, and he can't be lazy in saying anything.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "My lord, this time the city was built, and the subordinates did not dare to take credit, if there was no army from Lord Maeno, the castle would not have been built in any way." Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

After listening to the words of the clan, Maeno Nagayasu felt a sense of gratitude, if it was according to what the clan said, then the first contribution to the construction of the city this time was his Maeno Nagayasu. What kind of good words is this, this is completely giving the credit to yourself. Maeno Nagayasu immediately made up his mind that he must find an opportunity to repay the Takayama clan in the future.

At the time of the construction of the castle, although Nobunaga was not present, he could still guess the situation at that time, and he saw that the clan was not proud of his achievements, but gave up his head to Maeno Nagayasu, and he couldn't help but feel a little more favored in his heart.

Maeno Nagayasu this person,In Nobunaga's view,It's just an insignificant little wealthy family.,Talking and laughing can make it go up in smoke.,So I don't care.,This battle he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light.,Although there is merit.,But the credit is not big.,Originally, Nobunaga wanted to encourage a few words.,If you don't take away his knowledge, it's over.,But who thought that the clan was willing to give him the credit.,Originally, Nobunaga felt that the clan had made a great contribution this time.,Didn't make a reward.,It's a little apologetic.,Since the clan spoke,It's not easy to refute his face.,It's only a blind eye to this. , don't pursue it. ,

Nobunaga immediately changed his previous face, and said to Maeno Nagayasu with a smile: "In this battle, you have made a lot of contributions, and now I appoint you as the general of the Oda family, in addition to the original Zhixing, in addition to the original Zhixing, I will add 2000 stone Zhixing to the Sumamata Castle." ”

After hearing this, Maeno Nagayasu did not immediately thank him, but was completely stunned. He only had a total of 1,500 stone Zhixing before, and this is still the family business accumulated by the father and son, Nobunaga can add a 3, 500 stone, he is already thankful, even if he only keeps the original Zhixing and does not do the sealing, he can accept it, but who knows that Lord Takayama just said a few words, Nobunaga rewarded 2000 stones, this is 2000 stone Zhixing, more than his original Zhixing, and this Sumamata Castle Zhixing and Matsukura Castle are connected together, better managed, how can this make him not ecstatic.

Seeing him kneeling on the ground in a daze, the clan hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, and Maeno Nagayasu came to his senses, and after glancing at the clan gratefully, he said excitedly: "The subordinates thank the lord for the heavy reward, and the subordinates swear allegiance to the lord and the Oda family." ”

Nobunaga nodded and said in an unquestioning tone, "Shoemon!" I order you to sweep away all the Saito clan's forces around Sumata Castle within three months! ”

"Subordinates obey!" Maeno Nagayasu replied happily without thinking about it.

Nobunaga glanced at Maeno Nagayasu with satisfaction, then pointed his horsewhip forward and said, "The whole army is back in Owari!" Let's go. ”

Shimosha Castle Castle Town, outside the samurai mansion of the clan clan, Sakura is waiting for her husband's return with a big belly, she has been worrying about the clan all the time these days, in her mind, this time her husband went to the enemy country to build a city is too dangerous, she doesn't want the unborn child to lose his father.

I don't know how long she has been standing outside the door, the maid has persuaded her many times to let her go back to rest, but Sakura is still standing outside the door, and he feels that her husband will be able to come back today.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for four samurai to gallop towards her on horseback, and when she saw them, Sakura was relieved that in addition to her husband's safe return, the retainers who accompanied her also returned intact.

And there is also an additional samurai, it seems that he is also like a retainer of the husband, watching the retainers of the family continue to expand, Sakura is very happy, because only when there are more and more retainers, can the husband become safer and safer on the battlefield.

"Sakura-chan, why are you here, go back and rest quickly, if our child has a three-long and two-short, I will ask for you." The clan clan jumped off the war horse, walked to Sakurayama Kozakura, stretched out his hand and gently scraped the tip of her nose and said.

Sakura saw that her husband was so intimate with her in front of her retainers, her face was slightly red, and she said shyly, "My lord... The retainers are watching..."

The clan laughed loudly and carefully helped Sakura into the samurai mansion.

After introducing her to the new retainer Wasuka Koroku, the clan clan excitedly talked to her about becoming Oda Nobunaga's Naotomi again.

After finishing speaking, I only heard Sakura say: "Congratulations, but have you ever thought about your father's feelings, your father will definitely be angry if you can't get off the stage in front of so many important ministers." ”

The clan scratched his head and said: "I didn't think much about this, I just didn't want to miss the opportunity at the time, and I said it as soon as my mind was hot, or my Sakura was careful, Ha Luha." ”

"My lord, Sakura is serious, my father has been kind to us, so don't forget it."

The clan admitted that Shibata Katsuya was indeed good to him and Sakura, but he never took Shibata Katsuya too seriously, so he didn't bother to care what he was thinking or what he thought of himself. But just now I heard Sakura say,The clan also felt a little uneasy.,Think about it carefullyWhether it's marrying Sakura.,Or opening a shop,It's all without the help of the Shibata Katsuya.,Even after becoming his strength.,Shibata Katsuya doesn't want to be like other retainers.,Put on a disgusting posture.,Think about it.,Actually, Shibata Katsu's personality is still good.,At least it's enough to be good to yourself and Sakura.。

Thinking of this, the clan said, "Madame is right, tomorrow I will go to the castle tower and apologize to Lord Shibata." ”

Sakura said coquettishly, "My lord... Let's go today, it's not too late anyway. ”

"Okay, it's up to you."
