Three days seems to be continuous, but in fact it is not a long time, especially for the ten people who are about to travel far away, three days can be described as a flash.

However, although the time was relatively tight, no one disobeyed the order within the agreed time of the Zai clan.

On the wide avenue of Azuchi, I saw more than 100 people quickly disappearing at the end. Although this time the Takayama clan only brought ten retainers, but the high-ranking samurai such as Hosokawa Fujitaka and Murai Sadakatsu also have several retainers under their command, and although those low-level samurai have no retainers, they have a lot of family members, so the team will be so strong.

Although the team was marching, the clan was not idle, first pretended to come to Hosokawa Fujitaka to talk with him about world affairs, when the conversation was over, I saw the clan inadvertently pointed to the young man behind him, and asked: "Fujitaka, I don't know who this person is?" ”

Of course, the clan knows who it is, but if the expression is too obvious, then it is a little inappropriate, after all, at this moment, Hosokawa Tadashi is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he has not even experienced the first battle, if he is too eager to realize, Hosokawa Fujitaka will definitely find out, if so, then there is something wrong.

Sure enough, this conversation was not small, and Hosokawa Fujitaka thought that the clan was just asking casually, so he didn't think much about it, and said directly: "This is the dog and Ichiro under his command." ”

Before Hosokawa Fujitaka could command, he saw Hosokawa Tadashi running quickly in front of the clan, saluting and saying, "Hosokawa and Ichiro will see Takayama-sama." ”

The clan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, being so young but so good at things is enough to show its difference, and then care about its appearance. Not only the body is strong. And a pair of eyes are even clearer. The more you look at it, the more you like it. I couldn't help asking: "I look at this son's appearance, and I love it, I wonder if Fujitaka is willing to let him go out of his own family and serve as a close attendant by my side temporarily?" ”

"Don't thank you yet, Lord Takayama." Hosokawa Fujitaka did not hesitate, he knew very well in his heart that since the establishment of the family legion system, it would be better to let Ichiro go out of the Oda family than to let him follow Lord Takayama, after all, the lord arranged it like this. That is to plan to sit in Azuchi all the year round, and let the legion rush to kill, so if you want to make a contribution, then you can only follow Takayama Lord's side, although the Hosokawa family has thousands of stones to inherit it, but these thousands of stones are really not much, want to win more knowledge and action, his generation is estimated to have little hope, but there are still a lot of opportunities with Ichiro.

"Meet the lord with Ichiro, and his subordinates should swear allegiance to the lord and the Takayama family." It has been decided to meet with Ichiro's father. Hurriedly saluted and said. He didn't have as many ideas as his father, he was just excited to be in the mountains. After all, he can

He grew up listening to the deeds of the Takayama clan, and he was able to become a close attendant of the lord's side and a retainer of the Takayama family in the future, which was enough for him to show off to others.

After receiving Hosokawa Tadashi, the clan came to the side of the old acquaintance Ho Naomasa, who had just finished his career as a close attendant, so his status was not high at the moment, and Nobunaga was quite effective in his work, so he did not appoint him as the head of the ashil, but directly let him get the identity of the head of the ashil. But even so, his identity is very different from that of the Gaoshan Clan.

If he had followed the lord before, he would have dared to make a few jokes with the clan, but now his identity is different, so he seems a little restrained.

Before the clan came closer, he saw a half-grown child following behind Naomasa Ho, and Clan Zong smiled slightly, this child was his second target, Naoyuki Ho, who would become famous in the future.

"Your Majesty, Lord Takayama. I don't know what the adults commanded. Seeing that the clan came closer, Naoyuki hurriedly saluted and said. And the family members behind him also knelt down. However, what was surprising was that instead of kneeling, the half-grown child beside Naoyuki Ho ran to the clan and asked loudly, "Are you the Takayama clan?" ”

"Presumptuous! You can call Takayama-sama's name as you like, so don't you kneel down and make amends to Takayama-sama. Although he knew that his son was a little bolder on weekdays, he didn't expect it to be so bold, he was so unreasonable, once Takayama-sama was angry, it was not a joke, so in addition to being frightened, he couldn't help but reprimand loudly.

"Haha, don't get in the way, you can get up first." After the clan said to Naomasa with a smile, he looked at Naoyuki and said, "I'm the Takayama clan, who are you?" ”

When Naoyuki heard that the other side was really the Takayama clan, he didn't speak, but very impolitely went through the clan from top to bottom, and then puffed up his chest and said, "I'm the right emon of the pickaxe regiment, and I will become a world-famous samurai like you in the future." ”

"Okay, you have ambition, but if you want to become a samurai like me, you have to learn the skills first."

"Then you can teach me."

"Bastard! How can Lord Gao Shan have kung fu compared to you, and the rebel son won't give me a hurry back! "Although the Takayama clan didn't let him intervene just now, but Naomasa saw that his rebellious son was getting more and more excessive, and if it went on like this, who knew if Takayama-sama would be angry, so he just listened to him say angrily.

Seeing that his father was really angry this time, the regimental right emon was a little worried, so he hurriedly returned to his father. As soon as he came closer, he saw Naomasa with a big hand like a fan, and with a "snap", he pulled out the right emon of the regiment, turned around twice, and then rolled to the ground.

"Stop! Acting like this in front of me, do you still take my clan in your eyes? The clan couldn't help but be furious.

"Yes, please punish Takayama-sama."

Seeing that the regimental right emon was under such a heavy blow, there was nothing to do, and one turned over and got up, and couldn't help but have some appreciation, just now Naomasa was not a show, it was a real slap, not to mention a child, even if he was hit by that by himself, whether he could change it immediately was still two words, but this child who was only seven or eight years old was like a calf, and there was nothing at all, just the ability to be beaten was enough to surprise the clan.

While appreciating the regimental right emon, seeing that he was fine, the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, and he only heard the clan say: "I think this son is really good, and I intend to let him go out of his own family, and temporarily follow me as a close attendant, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

"It's... Lord Takayama, it's not that his subordinates are unwilling, but he has always been negligent in disciplining his son, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility, if it is a big disaster in the future, even if my father and son apologize, it's too late, so ......" After the pickaxe Naomasa wanted to say that let the clan take back his life, but if he can let his son out of the Gaoshan family, then as long as there is no accident, then his future achievements will definitely be much higher than himself, as a father, how can I not be happy, but my son himself knows, he has always been stubborn, If it's really like what I said just now, then this family will be completely finished. So I began to hesitate for a while, saying no, not saying no.

Of course, the clan knew what he was hesitating about, so he said directly: "Don't think about it, the reason why I recruited him as a close attendant this time is to train him well, and if he follows me, he may really become a world-famous warrior as he wishes in the future." ”

"Rebel, why don't you come and meet Lord Takayama soon."

"The subordinate pickaxe regiment Uemon will see the lord, and the subordinates will swear allegiance to the lord and the Takayama family." After being slapped by Naomasa with a pickaxe, the regimental right emon was really much more honest, and he knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

After receiving Hosokawa Tadashi and Ho Naoyuki, the purpose of this trip to Azuchi was completely achieved, and the plan to divide the talents of the Oda family was finally taken the most solid and powerful step.

Since he brought a lot of family members back to Hida this time, the speed of the march was not fast, and when he passed by Gifu Castle again, it was not good not to visit Oda Nobutada, who was already in the original costume.

And when he walked to the place under the rule of Hachiman Castle, which once belonged to his own county, he saw dozens of samurai in front of him win, and the first one was Aoyama Keimasa, a wealthy North American family who had taken refuge in the Oda family after the Great War.

Although they greeted the clan this time, they didn't see that they had their current status, so they wanted to be closer to themselves, but even so, these people were also helpful to themselves back then, if they let them put their hot faces on their cold butts at this moment, the clan would not be able to do such an act, after all, Nobunaga, faithful and immortal, once he died, then the clan still has some ideas about this place, so he can't be the enemy of these people, so under the kind invitation of these wealthy families, I had to stay here for a day.

With such a delay, it wasn't until five days later that the clan sect could be regarded as entering the Hida realm.

"Report! Your lords are still five miles away from the city, so please prepare to meet them quickly. Just when the retainers of the Takayama family felt a little impatient, I saw Sanada Nobuyuki, a close attendant next to the lord, walk in quickly and said loudly.

"Got it, come back to the city, go back to the city, and go and prepare quickly." After Honda Masanobu finished speaking, he got up and walked outside, and the other retainers did the same, and even the Maeda Toshiya and others, who had already obtained the fief, were afraid that the lord would make arrangements after the year-end assessment, so they did not leave, and after receiving the news, they also stood up and walked outside.

"Subordinates (below), etc., see lord (lord)." As soon as the clan came to the front of the city, he suddenly found that there were a few new faces in front of the city gate, but seeing that they could appear next to the retainers, they must not be spies, otherwise it would be impossible not to be discovered, so the clan did not say much, and quickly entered the city with the force that followed.
