"You bastard!" As soon as Kuroda Kanbei finished speaking, he saw Kinoshita Hideyoshi stand up abruptly, raise his foot and kick him hard.

And because Kuroda Kanbei didn't expect the lord to behave like this at all, he couldn't catch off guard, and was directly kicked by Kinoshita Hideyoshi, but he had already made a decision at this moment that he must convince the lord.

So I saw that he hurriedly stabilized his figure, and then knelt down to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and then continued to say firmly: "Lord, by doing this, not only can you keep the imperial family, but also have the opportunity to seize the world, once the Oda family is destroyed, then the world will become two, and the lord keeps the emperor, so the righteousness is also on the lord's side, and then the army of justice will rise, and it is not a problem to destroy the mountains, and the world can be obtained." ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi originally wanted to continue to kick a few more feet, but after hearing the word "world", the foot that had already been raised couldn't be kicked alive.

And Niwa Nagahide and Takigawa Kazuki were also shocked after listening to Kuroda Kanwei's words, and in addition to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the only one who could maintain his composure was Matsunaga Hide.

And Matsunaga Shu is now extremely excited, and before he can open his mouth, Kuroda-sama has spoken for himself, and he can speak more effectively than himself, so he thinks that this matter is at least half of the success.

And Kinoshita Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, but he still kicked the raised foot heavily on Kuroda Kanbei's body, and he is not complaining about the other party anymore, this is completely for others to see, especially Matsunaga Hide, this person is not a person of his own faction, although even if he declares a secret to the Lord, he thinks that the Lord will never believe it, but he has to guard against it, from this point of view, it is enough to see that his intelligence is far worse than Kuroda Kanbei, the reason why Kuroda Kanbei dares to say in front of Matsunaga Hide, It's not that he ignored this, but he had already seen it and heard it, the purpose of the other party's visit this time was to hope to be able to pull his family to rebel together, in this case, how could he go to the informant, there was no benefit at all in doing so.

But Kinoshita Hideyoshi didn't expect this, he kicked this Kuroda while scolding tentatively: "You are trapping me for disloyalty and injustice by doing this, if you can say this, don't say that I don't spare you, even these adults present will never allow me to spare you." ”

Although Kinoshita Hideyoshi didn't dare, it wasn't that he hadn't dreamed of seizing the world, especially after he had a million-stone territory, such thoughts had begun to breed in his heart, but it was still the same sentence, he thought that Nobunaga was invincible, so he just thought about it, but now it's different, Nobunaga has already provoked the anger of the public, once he raises his arms, it is not difficult to achieve success, so he can't help but move his mind again.

Of course, if you want to do this, then the first point is to get the support of the Kinoshita faction first, especially Niwa Nagahide, his support is the key to success, don't look at the other party has not received much reward from Shi Gao now, but it is the center that controls the Oda family, once Nobunaga falls, then as the first minister in the family, in a panic, his words are still very useful, and he can even give orders on behalf of the Oda family in chaos, only by pulling him up, can the goal be achieved. So what he said was completely testing him, of course, there is Tokugawa, and Takigawa is also very important, so it also needs to be tested. As for Matsunaga Hide, this person will let him be cannon fodder.

Sure enough, when Kinoshita Hideyoshi finished speaking, Takigawa Kazuki may not feel anything, but Niwa Nagahide, who had already cultivated in the Oda family, heard the over-words, to be honest, Niwa Nagahide had been dissatisfied with Nobunaga since a few years ago, because he thought that with his qualifications and ability, even if he was not as good as the clan, but how could he be compared to Kamishibata and Sakuma, after all, in terms of seniority, as early as when the lord was still only the four counties of Owari, he was his most relied on retainer, so he always thought, When the legion was established, how could it have its own place, but who knows, not only did the lord not give himself this authority, but his current strength was even inferior to Takenaka, Akechi and others, how could he accept it, although he could only swallow his anger before, but when Kuroda Kanwei finished speaking, coupled with Kinoshita Hideyoshi's attitude, he really felt that this was the best way, if Kinoshita Hideyoshi could win the world, then he would definitely get a reward that satisfied him.

With this thought, I heard him hurriedly say: "Kinoshita-sama, please stop, this time I think it's not that the adult is unfaithful and unjust, but ...... Although the emperor is not in power, he is nominally the co-lord of the world, and it is disloyal to overthrow the imperial family, so I can't agree with the thoughts of the adults. ”

After he finished speaking, Takigawa Kazuki also understood that he dared to love Niwa Nagahide and also supported it, so if he didn't express his position, then he would definitely not be accepted by Kinoshita Hideyoshi again, which is not a good thing, if he was still a little disdainful of Kinoshita Hideyoshi before, but since the other party's stone height exceeded one million stones, he no longer dared to have such an idea, after all, in terms of strength, the other party has far surpassed himself, and there is nothing to say about becoming the head of the faction. And once he breaks away from the Kinoshita faction, then he has no backer, and he has to hug this thigh tightly.

So he had to agree to this proposal.

And Matsunaga Shu and Tokugawa Ieyasu had no reason to refuse, and they also agreed.

With the support of these people, Kinoshita Hideyoshi gave up continuing to beat Kuroda and returned to his seat and sat down.

"Although you all support me, but the strength of the lord cannot be ignored, once you fail, have you thought about the consequences?" After a while, such a sentence popped out of Kinoshita Hideyoshi's mouth, although he wanted to win the world, but he was more afraid of losing everything now.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that with the help of your lords, it will not be difficult to overthrow Oda. First, since the lord arranged for Lord Matsunaga to eliminate the imperial family, then the territory will definitely be completely open to it, although it is impossible to bring too many troops, but three thousand people are still possible, so that Lord Matsunaga will enter the territory of the Oda family, immediately change the route, and go straight to Azuchi, although even if the Oda army will be caught off guard, but with the strength of this castle, it is basically impossible to break through from the outside, so at this time, it is necessary for Lord Niwa to cooperate in the city. Speaking of this, Kuroda Kanbei couldn't help but look at Niwa Nagahide again.

At this time, Niwa Nagahide can't help but make a statement, after all, if you want to succeed this time, then whether you can open the city gate smoothly, this is definitely the key to the key, don't look at yourself You don't have to send a soldier, but just by yourself, you can be worth thousands of troops, after all, if you don't have yourself, even if all these people in front of you are united, and send all the troops, it is impossible to break through Azuchi City, after all, the lord and the young lord can now use nearly 100,000 troops, Once he failed to succeed in a short period of time, he didn't believe that the Gaoshan Clan Sect in the Eastern Kingdom would not send troops to help, so if he wanted to succeed this time, he had to be lightning fast and complete it in the shortest possible time.

But this matter is a big thing, Niwa Nagahide must think about it carefully, after all, this is related to the survival of the Niwa family, victory is a success, it is not difficult to become a million-stone daimyo, and defeat, it is not as simple as losing his life, under the wrath of the lord, the Niwa family will definitely perish. However, after thinking about it, he finally made a decision and agreed to Kuroda Kanwei's strategy, because just now, he suddenly thought that as one of the first retainers to follow the lord, the reason why he is so miserable now is because he is too cautious, and this time since he can't think of the possibility of failure, why not fight, and if he doesn't fight now, then there will be no chance in the future.

Thinking of this, I saw Niwa Nagahide nodding and said: "There is no problem in this regard, with Zaixia's position in Azuchi Castle, it is easy to order the defending army to open the city gate, but it must be explained that this situation is before the lord gives an order, once the lord gives the order to close the city gate, then there is nothing that can be done in the city." Speaking of this, Niwa Nagahide seemed to think of something again, and only listened to him continue: "By the way, there is one thing, please remember that Lord Matsunaga must remember that there is a ninja team under the command of the lord who is specifically responsible for collecting information, although the number is not large, but it must not be ignored, in this ninja team, there are several people who are responsible for the collection of intelligence around Azuchi, and they will send information of course every day after the lord takes a nap in the afternoon, so if the lord wants to raid Azuchi, then please enter the area of Azuchi Castle after evening." ”

When he finished speaking, he only heard Tokugawa Ieyasu speak: "Niwa-sama, Matsunaga-sama, don't worry about this matter, once the date is agreed, then some ninjas will be sent in the next meeting, and after the Oda ninja reports the information out of the city, they have been killed, once these people are killed, they will not be afraid of being discovered by Nobunaga in a short time." ”

And when Tokugawa Ieyasu finished speaking, Kuroda Kanbei continued: "Tokugawa-sama, it's not enough to just do this, and I feel that there is one thing that only adults can do to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "Tokugawa Ieyasu is a little careful thinking how can he not see, Tokugawa Ieyasu's approach, undoubtedly still leave a way back for himself, kill a few ninjas, once this matter is not successful, it can be said that compared to others, he is nothing at all, even if he wants to push it all away, it is not a difficult thing, now that everyone is sitting in the same boat, then of course it is impossible for them to think about the back road, Kuroda Kanwei believes that once people have a way back, then they will definitely not do their best, So he must block the other party's retreat first, and let the other party exert all his strength, otherwise you take a step back, I take two steps back, then don't do it at all.

And what he was going to say next was something that only Tokugawa Ieyasu could complete, so I just listened to him continue: "Lord Tokugawa, after the fall of the main hall, if the young master is still there, then the rule of the Oda family is still difficult to shake, after all, it is the main hall that wants to eliminate the imperial family, and even the young master has persuaded him that day, so once he does not die, then after succeeding to the throne, it is difficult for the retainers of the Oda family to vote to my lord, so that the family is not capable of fighting with Oda and Takayama at all, so this time in addition to the main hall, the young master must also die." This requires the help of the ninjas under the command of Tokugawa-sama. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu did have the idea of finding a way back for himself just now, after all, it was difficult to put Baoquan aside with his character, but when Kuroda Kanwei finished speaking, he knew that his thoughts were probably seen through by the other party, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and when he continued to listen, he had to admit that what the other party just said, among all the people present, he was really the only one who could complete it, so even if he wanted to delay, he couldn't find an excuse at all, so he just took a deep look at Kuroda Kanwei and had to speak: "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

After Tokugawa Ieyasu's mission was arranged, Kuroda Kanbei continued: "I still have to trouble Niwa-sama here, once the main hall falls, then please also ask your lord to immediately issue an order to the castles of with the Great Seal of the World, so that they can welcome the main family and the Takigawa army into the city, as long as the order can be conveyed before the news of the fall of the lord, then we can take and even Ono in one fell swoop without a fight, and at that time, let alone a Takayama family, even if all the eastern kingdoms are united, we will have an absolute chance of victory." ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi has been sitting on the throne and listening quietly, although he completely agrees with Kuroda Kanbei's proposal, and even when he listens, he is shocked by his meticulous plan, but the more this is the case, the more he feels uneasy about the other party in his heart, since he can come up with a way to overthrow the lord in such a short period of time, and it is still so feasible, then once he has strength, it is not very simple to overthrow himself, so at this moment, Kinoshita Hideyoshi made a decision in his heart, That is, Kuroda Kanbei can be used, but it cannot be rewarded.

Although Kinoshita Hideyoshi also agreed to Kuroda Kanbei's proposal, it does not mean that Matsunaga Hidekai agreed, after all, the other people present were either engaged in assassination, or they were waiting for success before sending troops, especially Niwa Nagahide, who was the inner response, didn't give an accurate word at all just now, if Nobunaga knew the news in advance, then what did he mean not to open the city gate? Once the matter is revealed, the only one who is unlucky is himself, which is not good.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Although Kuroda-sama's plan is good, but the family has no protection, if so, wouldn't the family have to bear all the risks?" At this time, Matsunaga Xiu had nothing to hide, so I just listened to him and said straight to the point. (To be continued.) )
