After Nobunaga had arranged the cleaning of the battlefield, he was just about to return to Kiyosu Castle when he saw a samurai wearing a gold leaf bond, a catfish tail with a gold leaf on his head, and three heads in his hands.

"The lord, the subordinate Maeda Toshiya is going to take the three enemy generals, and the first level amaranth is specially presented to the lord." After speaking, he knelt on the ground, and said silently: "I implore the lord to allow his subordinates to return to the Oda family and serve the lord." ”

Nobunaga snorted coldly and said coldly, "Hmph! Your business has nothing to do with me, don't call me lord in the future! ”

"Lord, he already knows his mistake again, and he asks the lord to ......" Shibata Katsuie was just halfway through his words, and Oda Nobunaga said angrily: "Bastard, get out of the way!" A whip was whipped on Shibata Katsuie's shoulder, and then he left the battlefield with a clamp on the horse's belly.

After Takigawa Kazuki helped Maeda Toshiya, who was still kneeling on the ground, he said: "Left, you also saw it just now, it's not that everyone doesn't help, alas! ”

Maeda Toshiya watched more and more people leave in a daze, and soon after, on the huge battlefield, only Maeda Toshiya was left standing there alone.

On the way back, the clan saw a lot of samurai who led the team back to Cheongju City, and most of these people showed admiration after seeing the clan, and the clan wanted to befriend them, so they showed great humility and did not show any arrogance.

As soon as he arrived outside Qingzhou City, a small surname said to him: "Lord Takayama, the lord has an order, let you come back and immediately go to the castle tower to meet you." ”

"I know the way, report back to the lord, and my subordinates will go." After the small surname left, the clan turned around, the more than sixty ashigaru were waiting for the order of the clan to announce the disbandment, this battle except for Oda Nobunaga, it was the more than sixty ashigaru who were the happiest, each of them had the least dozen pieces of money in their arms, which was equivalent to their three or four years of money, even if the Oda family flag was only 10 times a year, and they were generally only three to five times a year. It's just half a day's work to make so much money, and it's no wonder that they are so happy.

"Everyone, everyone has worked hard, if it weren't for everyone, the clan would not have this achievement, okay, you two are guarding here, and the others are scattered." The clan ordered two people to stay with Kagawa Tadaji to guard the money.

The clan thought as he entered the city, what to do with the seven carts of money outside? Even if the trolley is not big, each car can hold about 100 yuan at best, but it is more than 700 yuan, alas, I knew that it was better to hide it in a random place just now, and now there are so many retainers who see it, forget it, just give it to Nobunaga, anyway, it will be enough to spend a while to leave the box of gold judgment.

In the castle tower of Kiyosu Castle, Oda Nobunaga sat in the middle of the living room, wiping his favorite Taidao press cut at the moment, but it was clear that he didn't put his mind on it. For the Maeda Toshiya, Oda Nobunaga was very angry, angry and left, he dared to rely on favor to despise his authority, this is the most taboo thing for him, if it weren't for the persuasion of Quan Roku and Migoro back then, he would definitely kill this person Liwei.

However, seeing that Maeda Toshiya automatically came to serve on the battlefield and had won the enemy's three generals, Nobunaga's anger had already disappeared by half. Nobunaga sighed, alas! It's been two years, and he'd rather be a ronin for two years than leave the Oda family, and this heart is enough. If there is a meritorious service next time, then forgive him.

Outside the door, another surname suddenly said: "Report! My lord, Lord Takayama asked to see me outside the door. ”

Nobunaga put his mind at ease and said to the little surname at the door, "Let him in." ”

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A young samurai dressed in red armor and a black sword at his waist appeared in Nobunaga's living room. "The subordinate Gaoshan clan sect is the lord."

"Sit down."

"The subordinates don't dare."

Oda Nobunaga glared at the clan, and then said, "If you want to sit down, you can sit, what so much nonsense, do you seem to ask me to tilt my head and talk to you." ”

The clan sat down hurriedly, thinking to himself, this is the Warring States of Japan, not ancient China, how can there be so many poor and exquisite.

Nobunaga raised his eyes and looked at the clan and said, "Hmph, I keep saying that I don't dare, I want to hear it, and there are other things you don't dare to do." ”

The clan thought that he would give a good compliment, and then give him a promotion, but he didn't expect it to be such a start, was it because he didn't ask for instructions before leaving, which made Nobunaga unhappy? It shouldn't be.,Although Nobunaga has a good face.,But it's not a careful eye.,Well.,I'm afraid I want to knock myself.,Don't be too arrogant.。 "Lord, are you praising me, or scolding me, the reason why your subordinates can make a difference is not all because of your command." ,

"Ha Lu Ha Ha

Cut, you just pretend, if you really haven't thought about it, why did you call me here, the clan is very disdainful of Nobunaga's trick, and of course he can only despise and despise it in his heart.

It didn't take long for Nobunaga to suddenly turn on his face: "Senbei! Now you will be promoted to the rank of general of the ashigaru, and you will be able to take 400 guan (note)"

"Thank you, lord!" The clan didn't expect that not only was his identity promoted, but he also obtained Zhixing, 400 guan, which is equivalent to 500 stones, and it has only been a day, and the speed of this promotion is really not slow.

After a few more words of praise, Nobunaga said, "Three days later, remember to come to Kiyosu Castle to participate in the evaluation meeting, at which the samurai who have made meritorious contributions in this battle will be rewarded." Okay, there's nothing going on here, you can step down. ”

"My lord, my subordinates have something to report." Nobunaga didn't say anything, but waited for the following, and when the clan saw this, he continued: "This time my subordinates attacked the castle and got a lot of money..."

Without waiting for the clan to finish speaking, Nobunaga waved his hand and said, "It's all rewarded, stand down." ”

"Thank you, lord, my subordinates will retire." The clan sect looked happy and quickly walked out of the castle tower gate.

Get rich! Get rich! The official has also been promoted, the spoils of war have also been obtained, and the most important thing is to obtain Zhixing, with this 500 stone territory, Lao Tzu can also be counted as the number in the Oda family, what is wrong with no soldiers, Lao Tzu has the money to recruit himself. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he trotted all the way to the house, and the housekeeper on duty today was Murai Sadakatsu, and on the way back just now, the clan had already met with him, and the conversation was not bad, so he didn't feel strange.

"Lord Murai, just now the lord was promoted to the rank of general of the ashigaru, and he led the east of Haidong County to start the city with five hundred stones, do you know about this?"

Murai Sadakatsu hurriedly stood up, he was only a light head at the moment, so he immediately said with a respectful face: "Congratulations to Takayama-sama, your lord has only been in Oda's house for a day, and he has been promoted, he is really a model for us." Murai Sadakatsu showed a look of envy, in the morning, this Takayama clan was still the same as himself, and in the afternoon, he was promoted to the general of Ashigaru, and he also obtained five hundred stone Zhixing, the speed of this promotion is also too fast, alas! Thinking about myself, I have been in this position for five years, and now I am only a light head, and it is really not good to be unconvinced. However, this Takayama clan does have some ability, only brought a hundred ashigaru, and captured so many castles, Murai Sadakatsu thinks that he does not have such ability, and he must befriend this person in the future, maybe he will have to take care of him more in the future.

Thinking of this, Murai Sadakatsu asked, "I wonder what happened when the adults came?" If you need help in the following, please feel welcome. ”

The clan was proud in his heart, looking at the intersection of his peers just now, when he heard that his identity had been promoted, his attitude immediately changed, but this Murai Sadakatsu is also a talent, and if he is developed in the future, it is also a good choice to poach him to manage internal affairs. "I'm here to get the letter of appointment from Dongqi City."

Murai Sadakatsu hesitated for a moment and said, "The lord ordered before that the reward for this battle should be held at the evaluation meeting in three days, don't you know what to do?" ”

The clan was a little unhappy in his heart, but this was also something that could not be helped, since it was ordered by Oda Nobunaga himself, it would only be three more days to wait, anyway, the time was not too long.

The clan was just about to leave, but suddenly remembered the matter of Kagawa Tadaji, that kid is Oda Nobunaga's flag is ashilight, if he poachs without saying a word, I'm afraid it's not good to do this, it's better to ask clearly. "By the way, there's another thing I want to ask Murai-sama.,That's the case.,Today, a flag named Kagawa Seibei Ashigaru was recruited by me as a retainer.,I wonder if I need to report this matter to the lord?"

"So that's the case, it's just a light one, adults don't have to take it to heart, this kind of trivial matter doesn't need to bother the lord, if it's convenient for adults, you can register it here." As he spoke, he took out a book that was not too thick and placed it in front of the clan. Although the clan can speak Japanese, if you have to write, it will be miserable.

Seeing that the clan sect was embarrassed, Murai Sadakatsu thought that he didn't know how to read, so he happily helped ghostwrite.
