But the clan can't let them come here, if they really let their father-in-law do this, even if they can really pull out an army of 25,000 people, then it is estimated that it will be difficult to ease up this time for decades, since he came out, his father-in-law has been sincerely helping himself, and he obviously can't do it when he sees the Shibata family decaying from then on. Moreover, in a big war like this, the peasant soldiers, or the ashigaru who had just put on the armor and had not been trained at all, would be completely useless, and would even add chaos to the army.

Therefore, when Shibata Katsuya finished speaking, he only listened to the persuasion of the clan and said: "Father-in-law, this battle is enough for the family to destroy Kinoshita and its subordinate forces, so my father-in-law will send 10,000 troops to participate in the battle." ”

Originally, in this meeting, Sakuma Nobumori had already given up the position of family governor, so it was said that he was not qualified to speak, but when he heard that the Shibata Katsu family had reached this time, he had to compare with his own family, and finally couldn't help but say: "Shibata-sama, what the lord said is reasonable, don't work hard if you don't have so much military strength, you are so old, and it is easy to hurt yourself." ”

"You fart, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the old man's family." After glaring at Sakuma Nobukatsu, after finishing speaking, he immediately said to the clan: "Lord, my subordinates are old, and I'm afraid this is the last battle for my subordinates, so I have to fight with all my pleasure in everything, so I ask the lord to be fair." ”

"I understand my father-in-law's feelings, but I still have to refuse, the Shibata family will send a maximum of 12,000 troops, if my father-in-law still refuses, then I can only cancel the Shibata family's combat qualifications."

The clan can't follow the wishes of the Shibata Katsuya because of the fighting spirit of the two fathers-in-law, which is tantamount to harming him and harming the Shibata family, so even if he says that he will break the sky, it is impossible for him to agree.

"Lord Shibata, we're all so old, what else is there to fight for, it's almost enough." Lin Tongzhen saw that Shibata Katsuya was still going to speak, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

Compared to Sakuma and Shibata, Lin Tongzhen, who was originally the first important minister of the Oda family, can be said to be the worst of the three, in addition to the identity of the father-in-law of the Takayama clan, he only has a retirement place of 3,000 stones, but even so, he doesn't feel anything bad, his era has long ended with the fall of the Oda family, what is there to fight about now?

Shibata Katsuya saw him speak, and immediately stopped talking, looking at the retainers who could still fight in this assessment room, only he was the oldest, and suddenly sighed in his heart, now is no longer his own era, there is really no need to fight.

And at this time, he suddenly thought of his plan, once the lord could agree, then the glory of the Shibata family was by no means comparable to the Sakuma family, so it seemed that there was no need for him to fight with him in this matter.

Thinking of this, I only heard him sigh and say, "My lord, my subordinates sent 12,000 troops to participate in the battle. ”

These words couldn't help but make Sakuma Nobumori feel a little incredible, he had already thought about how to squeeze Shibata Katsuya next, after all, with the character of the other party, how could he give up so easily, at least 15,000 people would be dispatched, and now he didn't even say a word of rebuttal, so he agreed, is this still an old opponent he has known for decades?

Sakuma Nobumori, who thought that even if the other party agreed, he would make a mockery of the other party, but suddenly thought of something, and finally sighed helplessly and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"My lord, the Uesugi family has 400,000 koku from the Echigo country, and I am willing to dispatch 12,000 troops, and I ask the lord to decide." After waiting for no one to speak in the assessment room, Uesugi Keimasa said.

Don't look at the Uesugi family, there are only 400,000 stone land, and Sado Jinshan has also been included in the direct jurisdiction of the clan, but because the Uesugi family has been mining Jinshan for decades, the family's funds are by no means comparable to the Shibata family, so being able to dispatch 12,000 troops this time is definitely not a decision made in a hot head.

And in fact, he can also send more troops, but when he was just about to say that he was about to send 15,000 troops, his cronies behind him, Naoe Kane, whispered a few words in his ear, Uesugi Keikatsu also felt justified after listening to it, the relationship between the Shibata Katsu family and the lord is much closer than his own, and the Sakuma family has stimulated it before, if even his own stone height is not as good as his, if he is more than him in the army, then he will definitely turn the spearhead to himself, the two families were already a little discordant because of the war before, If such a move is made again this time, it will not be beneficial to the family at all.

In addition, this time the lord may also go out of the army in three ways like the decisive battle with the Hojo family, and then the general of the North Road is afraid that he will not be able to compete with the Shibata Katsu family, if the two families do not get along, it will be too easy to have problems, and he can compete with him for other things, but this is a major matter related to the seizure of the world, so there must be no problems, and in the end he can only agree to Naoe's suggestion, and reduce the 15,000 army to 12,000 people, which is the same as the Shibata family.

No one knows whether the Shibata Katsu family understands the intentions of the Uesugi family, but after hearing that he is only willing to send 12,000 people, the clan showed an approving look at Uesugi Keikatsu, and he knows the strength of the Uesugi family, although the last battle with his father-in-law ended in a defeat for both sides, but with so many years of mining of Sado Kanayama, its recovery ability is by no means comparable to the Shibata family, let alone 12,000 people, if he asks for it, he can send 18,000 troops, So this is obviously to give face to his father-in-law, although the army is less, but only internal harmony, then for this kind of big war of more than 100,000 people, what is the strength of thousands of troops, and there are no internal problems is the most important thing.

"My lord, my Asai family has Echizen, Kaga and 850,000 stones, and I am willing to send 10,000 troops to seize the world for my lord." As a retainer with more than 800,000 stones, this time in terms of the number of troops, he should have taken the lead, but although he had nearly 40,000 troops under his command, he had to leave a large number of troops to defend in the territory.

Echizen and Kaga are the hardest hit areas of the Ichiza clan, and they have just been transferred by Oda Nobunaga not long ago, so they can't fully control the territory at all, so once a large army is dispatched, these Ichizane forces will definitely take the opportunity to incite the people, and how to resist it when the time comes, this is simply a mess for the Takayama family, so in the end I can only say this number hard.
