There must be a reason for the sudden overture of the Takayama clan sect in Takenaka Hanbei, and as long as he goes with him, regardless of whether this stubborn disease can be cured or not, he will owe Takayama a favor, and the difference is only in the size of the favor.

Since he was a child, he has never owed others a favor, so he was a little hesitant, and he knew that if he agreed to him, then he would probably have to join the Takayama Shibata camp in the future.

Since the transfer of the Takenaka Hanbei to the Oda family, he has always remained neutral, not too close to anyone, not too far from anyone, and he wants to continue like this.

But Takenaka Hanbei thought about it, what is more important than curing the illness on his body, as long as the disease is fully cured, he can display the ambition in his chest, not to mention that Takayama-sama said that there is still a few percent certainty, even if it is only half of it, he has to go and give it a try.

Thinking of this, I only heard the half-soldier guard of Takenaka speak: "Then there is Lord Lao Gaoshan." ”

Although the half-guard of Takenaka agreed, he couldn't just leave, who knew when he would see this disease, so he had to return to the territory first to explain.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the clan took his leave after making an agreement with the Takenaka Hanbei.

In the quiet room of the sparrow house, Akechi Mitsuhide and Tamako sat opposite each other, the reason why it was so solemn was not for his daughter's family affairs, although Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to marry the Takayama family very much, but he had always regarded his daughter as the pearl of his palm, if his daughter did not agree, then he had to refuse.

I only heard him ask solemnly: "Tamako, what do you think of Matsutsurumu?" ”

Tamako seems to have guessed the purpose of her father's conversation with her. So try to ask, "Is my father planning to marry Tamako to the Takayama family?" ”

Seeing that his father nodded, Tamako, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, couldn't help blushing and said, "Father, Tamako thinks that Matsurumuru is quite cute except for being a little arrogant." ”

Akechi Mitsuhide finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, it seems that her daughter's impression of Matsutsurumu is not bad, in this case, it is basically the same.

I heard him ask again: "So you agree?" ”

"Father. Tamako had agreed with Matsurumu to visit his house, and if he was not only a samurai but also a retainer as he said, then his daughter would marry him. Otherwise, the daughter should not live with a big liar. ”

Wise Guangxiu frowned, and said with a straight face: "Yuzi." Matsutsurumu Maru is the young master of the Takayama family, and he must not be unreasonable. ”

Tamako could see that her father was in a good mood, so she stuck out her tongue naughtily and didn't speak.

The holding of this tea party is not too much to describe as a full return for the clan, not only did he successfully take a big step closer to Takenaka Hanbei, but also successfully married Akechi Mitsuhide, and while he was holding the beauty, he also had a relationship with Lin Tongsheng and Sakuma Nobumori, although these two people will withdraw from the stage of history after a few years or more than ten years. But it is precisely because of this that he can receive their property, of course, this is only in terms of talent.

The clan suddenly found that he was just going to drink tea, and he had expanded his network a lot, as long as he could maintain the relationship. Then Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Mino Trio, Akechi Mitsuhide, plus Takenaka Hanbei and Hayashi Tongkatsu, and the samurai who originally joined their camp. The clan himself felt that his position in the Oda family was unshakable.

In Hachiman Castle, the clan clan and Akechi Mitsuhide set a relationship for their children, and after deciding to marry Tamako when Matsuzuru Matsuru Motofu was served, Akechi Mitsuhide left satisfied.

Then he placed the half-guards of Takenaka who came to seek medical treatment, and the clan returned to his own life. …,

The retainers in the assessment room were full of excitement, and their hearts were full of excitement at this moment, not for anything else, just because they knew that the purpose of the lord to gather everyone to come this time was not only to listen to the report of the past year or so, but more importantly, to do something to Hida.

"Subordinates, etc., see the lord." As the clan came out of the inner room, he only heard the retainers speak in unison.

When the clan clan sat down on the main seat, it also meant that the evaluation meeting officially began, and the current clan sect was most concerned about the issue of the iron cannon production line, so as soon as he came up, he asked first: "Yishi, Changzheng I want to hear about the construction of the workshop first." ”

After the two glanced at each other, they only heard Nakamura Kazushi speak first: "Back to the lord, at present, the workshop has been established, not only the iron cannon workshop, but also the ninja armor, ashigaru armor, weapons and other workshops have been completed, and because of the consideration of transportation, the subordinates have gathered these workshops together and built them next to the road built by the family. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

After hearing this, the clan nodded and said: "Very good, it is very thoughtful, at present, the iron cannon is mainly sold, and the workshop is built on the side of the road, which saves a lot of transportation time." ”

Speaking of this, I saw the clan clan looking at Yamada Nagamasa again. I only heard Yamada Nagamasa speak: "My lord, at present, except for the iron cannon workshop, the other workshops have begun to operate, and since the subordinates have returned, they have begun to search for the disabled ashigaru who have retired from their own family in the territory, and the subordinates have selected sixty-seven ashigaru who do not affect their labor, and they are currently learning how to use machinery in the iron cannon workshop, and the subordinates guarantee that they can start work in three days." ”

After encouraging him, the clan looked at Kagawa Tadaji again, only to hear the clan ask, "Has the road to Hida been repaired?" ”

I saw Kagawa Tadaji say with a happy face: "Back to the lord, the road to Hida has been fully repaired, and the end of the road is only three miles away from Sakurato Castle, although the funds allocated by the lord are still rich, but his subordinates are afraid of the enemy's destruction, so they did not continue to build, and now it only takes half a day to go to Hida Sakurato Castle from Gujo Hachiman Castle." ”

After listening to his report, the clan was quite pleased, if it was placed before, it would take at least a day to travel from Gujo Hachiman Castle to Hida, and the cavalry could not pass at all, but now it can go one round trip in a day, and the cavalry can also pass, and the smoothness of this road is not unimportant.

However, the clan also knew that building the road was a double-edged sword, and if he couldn't master all of the Hida, then it would also give the enemy a chance to attack quickly, so since this road was passed, there was no way back for the Takayama family.

"Okay, now that the road has been built, it's time for the family to attack Hida."

Speaking of this, I only heard the clan ask again: "Mizuse Uemon, is there any movement between the Uesugi army and the Takeda army in Hida?" ”

"Back to the lord, according to the understanding of his subordinates, the current Uesugi army sent to Hida has reached 4,000 troops, and the main will be Murakami Yoshikiyo, and the army is currently in the island city.

The number of people sent to Hida by the Takeda family is slightly smaller, but there are also 3,500 people, and the main general is Yama Prefecture Masakane, and the two armies are currently quite restrained, and there is no war, so please ask the lord to decide. ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but think about it, although these two people can be regarded as rare brave generals in the world, especially Yama Prefecture Changjing, but compared with their bravery, the resourcefulness is slightly insufficient, and now they can maintain restraint, I am afraid that it is because of the instructions of Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen, if they provoke, maybe they can fight first.

In this way, they can lose a lot of their army, and most importantly, I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of themselves for a while.

And by the time they came to their senses, the family had already gained a firm foothold in Hida, but at that time, even if they joined forces to attack, it was nothing to fear, no matter how elite the army under their command was, could it be crazier than the group of bald donkeys in Enryakuji Temple? Lao Tzu can even stop those crazy monks, how can he be afraid of them. …,

The reason why the clan is so confident is because he knows that the army sent by Uesugi and the Takeda family to Hida is only a second-line force, and Takeda wants to send Akabi to go, but he has to go in, and even if he can get in, but in the mountains, the combat power that can be exerted will be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan said, "Didn't you fight?" Then just let them fight. Masakatsu Wasuka, you scoop this matter and leave it to you to complete. ”

"It's the lord." I heard Wasuka Masakatsu hurriedly replied.

"Capture Hida in one fell swoop, and three days later, the army will attack Hida and disband."

As soon as three days passed, on the training ground in Hachiman Castle in the gun, the army that followed the clan to march into Hida had been assembled, including 1,200 ninjas, 500 new team members, 100 iron cannon ashigaru, 100 heavy wisteria bow ashigaru, and 200 spear ashigaru. and 400 people in fine armor and scimitar, but due to the difficulty of the mountain road, the cavalry could only be converted to infantry for the time being, leaving the horses at Hachiman Castle in the gun.

If you add the two hundred ninjas who have already gone to provoke Takeda Uesugi Masakatsu, the total army is up to two thousand seven, which can be said to be a nest dispatch, although the clan only let the new team be responsible for the security of the territory back then, but the current army of the family is seriously insufficient, and there is no way to let Maeda Keiji lead the army to the expedition.

If it weren't for the Uesugi and Takeda families to garrison Hida, then the army under the command of the clan would be able to wipe out all the forces in Hida in less than half a month, what Ji Xiaolu family, what Jiangma family, and some miscellaneous small wealthy clans, as long as the army arrives, it can be wiped out in an instant, but now, the clan can't be careless.

With the dispatch of the Takayama Army, there are only two military divisions left in the territory and the two hundred new members of the group led by Yamauchi Kazutoyo, but the clan is not worried, there are no enemies on the other three sides of the family, and Nobunaga has not sent out the army, and is sitting in Gifu, he can thank God if he doesn't lead the army out to find fault, who will be full of food and not happy.

Besides, at the tea party that day, the retainers of the Oda family promised to send their troops to help, and if the situation changed, they could use them to temporarily serve as a garrison in the territory, and it can be said that the clan was not worried about the safety of the territory at all.
