Confident that he led everyone to Minami Omi, in addition to playing all the way, but also did not forget the business, it can be said that any place in Minami Omi can build a giant city, and when he came to Kannonji Castle, Hosokawa Fujitaka also suggested that it be directly expanded on the basis of this city.

However, in the end, he was rejected by Nobunaga, and in his opinion, although the location of this Kannonji temple castle was good, he decided to give up when he thought of the decay of the Rokkaku family.

Nobunaga's picky clan has thoroughly appreciated it this time, and many places in his opinion are excellent places to build castles, but Trusted Chief can always find a lot of faults, but fortunately, this time did not last a few days, and Nobunaga found an excellent location to build a castle.

This place is surrounded by lakes on three sides in the north and east and west, and it is a small peninsula protruding from the surface of Lake Biwa, and there is a hill more than 100 meters high on the peninsula, and the south of the hill is an open plain.

The southern part of the country is open and suitable for building a large town, so I have to say that Nobunaga's vision is indeed very unique.

The place where the new city will be built has been chosen, and it is time for Hosokawa Fujitaka and Murai Sadakatsu to get busy.

The clan thought that there was nothing to do with him, but as soon as everyone returned to Gifu and hurriedly resigned to Nobunaga, they heard him say: "Senbei, now that I have decided to build a new city in Minami Omi, it is imperative to transfer the Asai family away from Omi, and you are the only one in the family who has a good relationship with Asai Nagamasa." So this trip is up to you to persuade in person. ”

Speaking of this, I saw Nobunaga thinking for a moment, and then continued: "If he agrees to leave Omi, then I am willing to help him lay down Harima, and Tango will pass 640,000 land as his new territory, if not, then the two families may only have one battle." Of course, this is the last thing I want to see. Well, this matter should not be delayed for long. Go quickly. Nobunaga finished and walked towards the castle tower.

Originally, the clan thought that Nobunaga would accept his suggestion and help him lay down Settsu and Rinai. There is also a part of Hanoi, or Awaji, if this is the case, maybe Asai Nagamasa still has the possibility of agreeing, after all, Izumi has now become one of the most prosperous places in the world under the drive of Kai Town, and it is convenient to go to the sea here, even if the land controlled by the Asai family is changed here, Asai Nagamasa not only does not suffer, but also earns.

But who would have thought that Nobunaga was too ruthless. I actually wanted to transfer it to Harima and Tango, although the two stones together are nearly 150,000 stone more than the Kita-Omi controlled by the Asai family, but the problem is that not to mention that compared to Izumi here, even compared to Kita-Omi. Moreover, there is a powerful Mori clan in the West, and it is obvious that Nobunaga's purpose in doing this is the same as when he did it to the Tokugawa family, so that he can stand in front and defend the West for himself.

But I don't want to think about whether the current Asai family can be the same as the Tokugawa family at that time. When Tokugawa Ieyasu had just won Mikawa and had not even stood firm on his feet, the decline of Imagawa knew in everyone's heart that if Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to survive in this chaos, then there was only one way to go to the Oda family, so he had to defend the Oda family.

And the Asai family is different, a few years before the development of the Oda family, it can be said that the Asai family is stronger than the Oda family, and the land of more than 400,000 stone is not won by Oda Nobunaga, and the northern general has become prosperous under its several years of operation, but now he wants to redevelop after converting to Harima Dan, as long as Asai Nagamasa is not a fool, then he will definitely not go.

In this way, there is only one way to go, and that is to turn against Oda Nobunaga, and to make enemies of the Oda family together with Asakura and even Kaga's temples.

And for himself, because of Nobunaga's decision, this time it will definitely not be so easy.

And because Nobunaga let him set off immediately, Hida couldn't go back for the time being, so he had to order the samurai famous flag samurai to protect his family and return first, and he himself led another fifty flag ashigaru and fifty ninjas to the road to Kita-Omi after straightening out his thinking.

Although a few years ago, in order to annihilate those deep-rooted wealthy clans, Asai Nagamasa plunged Kita-Omi into the flames of war, but after the war, because no one could no longer restrain the policy proposed by Asai Nagamasa, and he has always been sympathetic to civilians, under his preferential belt policy, there were no bandits and bandits in Kita-Omi at all, not to mention that there were hundreds of people around the clan to protect him, even if he went alone, he would not have to worry about his life.

"Report to the lord, Lord Takayama Hida Mamoru is now two miles away from the city, and I ask the lord to decide."

"I know the way, and I ordered the ministers in the family to follow me out of the city to greet me." Before the Takayama clan went out of Mino, he sent people to Kotani Castle to meet Asakei Nagamasa's request, and after receiving the news, Asai Nagamasa did not dare to slack off, and sent people to stay outside the city, waiting for the arrival of the Takayama clan.

When the Takayama clan first sent the Asai family, due to his low status, and the strength of the Oda family and the Asai family at that time was equal, it was already very face-saving for Asai Nagamasa to come out of the assessment room to greet him, but today, the Oda family has not only become the strongest in the world, but even the Takayama clan has risen with the tide and become the lord of a country, plus he has decided to stand on the side of the Oda family, so although the specifications are slightly higher to go out of the city to greet him, it is also reasonable.

Since he annihilated those stubborn forces in his family, the relationship between the Asai family and the Asakura family is not as close as it used to be, especially after the failure of the crowd to besiege the Oda family, he knew that with Oda Nobunaga's character, he would never let go of the Asakura family easily, and he had no possibility of maintaining his strength in the next battle between Oda and the Asakura family, and in order to keep his family name, Asai Nagamasa could only gradually distance himself from the Asakura family.

And what made him feel fortunate was that this time he made an important decision, except for a few retainers who opposed it, the vast majority of retainers had the same opinion as him.

While feeling gratified, Asai Nagamasa expressed his deep gratitude to the Takayama clan, and if it weren't for him, how could his decision be supported by his retainers.

Before the clan and his party came to the outside of the city, they saw that there were already a lot of people standing outside the city, and the person at the head was Asai Nagamasa, but the retainers around him, except for a few people such as Anyangji, didn't know any of them, and the previous Asai retainers were all young in their thirties, but now there are not only most samurai in their early twenties, but even teenage retainers around him can see a lot, in comparison, there are very few people who are thirty years old or older, It seems that this purge carried out by Asai Nagamasa at home involved a lot of retainers.

Seeing that Asai Nagamasa personally greeted him, the clan couldn't walk over slowly, only to see him quickly speed up, came to Asai Nagamasa, and said politely: "I have seen Lord Asai in the Shimokoyama clan, and I haven't seen it for a few years, not only Lord Asai is still beautiful, but also in the Shimonoseki Asai family, the old appearance has changed to a new look." ”

The identity of the clan has changed drastically from the previous time, and now he is the head of a country, so he is also very casual when he speaks, and he is now completely standing on the same level as Asai Nagamasa, and there is no need to be as humble as before.

And when he finished speaking, Asai Nagamasa was full of emotion, thinking that the Takayama clan still needed to pay a big bow when he saw him, and now he is standing at the same height as himself, if it is in a few years or more than ten years, is he going to salute him in turn?

Asai Nagamasa just thought about it nonsense, and only listened to him say enthusiastically: "This family can have such a change, not thanks to the fact that there was a Takayama Lord to mention it back then, when the adults left in a hurry, and they did not get close to the friendship of the landlords, this time, what the adults said should be here for a few more days." ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but say in his heart, if Asai Nagamasa knew the purpose of his visit this time, would he still entertain him? I'm afraid he won't blast himself out of the city, even if he's magnanimous.

"Lord Asai is really too polite, if you really say it, after the adult welcomes the princess, he and my Oda family are members of the family, and it is also appropriate to make plans for the adults in the next, and I really can't afford to be an adult."

"Since Takayama-sama has already come to Kita-Omi, there is no need to say more, everything is arranged below." Seeing that the clan clan seemed to be prevaricating, he only heard Asai Nagamasa say with a little displeasure.

Seeing this, the general manager didn't say much more, so he had to admit: "Then everything will be bothered by Lord Lao Qianjing." ”

"Lord Takayama, please speak to the city."

"Asai-sama, please." After saying that, the two entered the city side by side, and the retainers of the Asai family and the army brought by the clan clan followed closely behind.

In the assessment room, after the guests and hosts were seated, the clan clan and Asai Nagamasa talked for a while, only to hear Asai Nagamasa ask, "I don't know why Lord Hida Mamoru came to the North Near General this time." ”

"Lord Asai, the purpose of coming here this time is very simple, that is, I want to show the Asai family a clear path, if the adults are willing to set foot on this road, then the family name can be kept forever, otherwise, I'm afraid that the Asai family will be in a catastrophe."

When Asai Nagamasa heard this, the originally good mood dissipated without a trace, although this Takayama clan is the lord of a country, but the Hida country stone high is only 40,000, and his territory is more than ten times better, and it is an alliance with the Oda family, what other disaster can there be for himself, this Takayama clan actually relied on Oda Nobunaga's favor, in front of his majesty, if he can't come out of a reason, he must be called good-looking......)
