After coming out of Egreyama Castle, the clan has been thinking about expanding the retainers, and the Maeda Toshiya has been silent when he sees that the lord has been silent, so it is not easy to disturb.

The clan thought that it seemed that those samurai with average ability were not useless, at least, when the main general was out, they could take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the city.

Now the territory is not too big, and I can still manage it, but with Nobunaga's continuous conquest, my territory will continue to expand, and when the time comes, I can't manage it by myself and these first-class retainers at home.

The clan didn't think that he could recruit all the first-class samurai in the world under his command, it seemed that if the family wanted to continue to move forward, then it would not be enough to have a brain and skeleton, and a lot of blood and flesh would be needed to make him more solid.

If you want to achieve this effect, on the one hand, you can recruit more samurai to send to the current retainers to be a force, and on the other hand, you can also let the retainers recruit their own retainers.

Thinking of this, the clan felt very lucky, fortunately he found it early, otherwise, if he found out about this problem after he had tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of millions of knowledge, it would be a little too late, at least it would affect the development of the family for a few years.

Now that the clan has decided that when he returns to Hachiman Castle in the gun, he will make sure to announce the matter and make preparations as soon as possible.

After leaving Sagiyama Castle, the clan took the accompanying ninjas to go to Tsuyama Castle and recruited Yamauchi Kazutoyo and Wasuka Masakatsu with the ninjas.

Now that Ji Xiaolu's family has just been defeated outside Dushan City, even if he knows that the main general in Dushan City is not there, he has more than enough strength and is not enough.

After arranging the matter, the clan clan rushed to Hachiman Castle in the gun.

Three days later, in the assessment room of the castle tower, all the retainers of the Takayama family except for Yamada Nagamasa who was far away in Kaimachi appeared here, and the three people sitting on the left side of the assessment room were Honda Masanobu, Kagawa Tadaji, and Nakamura Kazuji, and there were slightly more retainers sitting on the right, followed by Maeda Toshiie, Wasuka Masakatsu, Watanabe Moritsuna, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and Sugitani Zenjubo.

Although there are not too many retainers of the Gao Shan family, if you pick out one of them at random and put them among the other forces, they are all among the best.

The retainers were sitting quietly in the assessment room at the moment, waiting for the arrival of the lord, they were very puzzled, the lord suddenly gathered all the retainers, there must be something important to announce, could it be that the main hall is going to send an army to attack Inabayama Castle? Well, it should be like this, I'm afraid that only when the army goes to war, the lord will summon himself and others to discuss.

In the eyes of the retainers, this is a good opportunity to make great contributions, and they must grab the qualification to fight for a while.

While the retainers were thinking wildly, they only heard the inner room, Keiji Maeda shouted: "The lord has arrived"

The clan clan walked out of the inner room with the shout, and Maeda Keiji followed closely behind, now Maeda Keiji has changed a lot from when he first came out, although there are still more or less minor problems, but it is no longer harmless, the clan plans to observe him for a while, and he no longer intends to let him serve as a close attendant, a talent like him should charge on the battlefield, and it is indeed a bit overkill to serve as his own close attendant.

As for the candidate to replace him, the clan has already thought about it, the son of Wasuka Masakatsu, Beesuga Hikahiko Uemon, is now seven or eight years old, with his age, it is just the age of serving as a close attendant, although he is only in his twenties now, if there is no accident, the days to come will be long, but if you want the Takayama family to last for a long time, then you must pay attention to the cultivation of talents, especially those well-known retainers in the future, and you can't relax in the slightest.

And this Bee Suga Hiko Uemon housekeeping is the first object he cultivated. The clan believes that letting him follow him to see the world will still be of great benefit to his future development, at least it is much better than staying by Wasuka Masakatsu's side.

While thinking about it, the clan slowly walked to the main seat, and as soon as he sat down, he saw all the retainers sitting with their hands saluted, and said in unison: "Subordinates and others see the lord." ”

The clan only nodded slightly, and there was not much change in his expression, as a superior for many years, he had already been immune to this. …,

After taking the retainers to sit down again, I only heard the clan sect say lightly: "I have gathered everyone here today, and I have four things to say......

Speaking of this, the clan raised his eyes and thought that the retainers swept away one by one, and saw that the retainers were all looking at him, waiting for him to speak, the clan first picked the least important thing and said: "Wasuka Masakatsu"

Wasuka Masakatsu couldn't help but feel very happy when he heard that the lord was the first to call his name, and he didn't care what the lord would say next, but this at least proved that in the lord's heart, his weight was still very heavy.

Thinking of this, I saw Wasuka Masakatsu take a step and said, "My subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." ”

Clan Zong asked lightly: "Well, Masakatsu, how old is Hikoemon now?" ”

Although he didn't know why the lord would ask about Hikoemon, he didn't dare to hide it, and replied without thinking: "Back to the lord, now Hikoemon is seven years old." ”

The Tsuruma clan nodded, and then spoke: "Masakatsu, I intend to make Hikoemon a close attendant, I don't know if you have any opinions?" ”

I saw that Wasuka Masakatsu had a happy face, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord, my subordinates will let Hikoemon come later." ”

Seeing Wasuka Masakatsu's expression, the clan was very satisfied, he thought that Wasuka Masakatsu would think that he no longer trusted him, and began to think crankily, thinking that he was clearly letting his eldest son be a close attendant, but in fact he was coming to take up a position, if so, he would need to explain it then, but now this problem does not exist.

And Wasuka Masakatsu's thoughts are not the same as those of the Takayama clan, his joy is from the heart, he can't help but think that the lord let himself lead the ninja army, although the identity is also a samurai, and he is still a major minister in the family, but what he can do is no different from a ninja. As a result, his son is now a little difficult to arrange.

Moreover, although in this family, his status is no different from that of other samurai, and his status in the heart of the lord is even more than that, but this is only in this family, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a head shorter than the samurai of the same status, and even many samurai whose status is not as good as their own, although they are respectful to themselves on the surface, but from their eyes, they can still see a trace of disdain, and I am afraid that I can only continue like this in this life, but son, let him take the normal samurai road. ……，
