This is definitely also a more troublesome thing to attack Kitanosho Castle, because as long as you can't break through the opponent's defense, the materials of Kitanosho Castle can be supplied to Kitanosho to resist non-stop. Of course, there is definitely a limit to the amount of supplies, but it can be supplied for a very long time.

Shibata Katsuya asked the Takayama clan to come to answer the word at the head of the castle, and after obtaining the consent of Takatomo Musatomo, the Takayama clan came to the outside of Kitanoso Castle under the protection of Watanabe Moritsuna. It's just that he stopped a hundred steps away from the city and didn't go any further, after all, it was on the battlefield, and he had to guard against the opponent's possible plots, even if the opponent was his father-in-law.

"Senbei, it's been a long time since we saw each other." Shibata Katsuya shouted loudly.

"My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law." The Takayama clan immediately replied.

"You still know my father-in-law."

"You are Sakurako's father, and I will always recognize you as my father-in-law, and this will never change."

"Then why did you surrender to the Kuroda family, why did you rebel against my Oda family, have you forgotten all the kindness of the previous lord?" Katsuya Shibata asked.

"Father-in-law, I don't want to say that useless thing with you, I just want to say my own thoughts now."

"Do you think of your own......" Shibata Katsuya looked a little puzzled, the Takayama clan has always been a smart person, and has always been very loyal to the Oda family, and Oda Nobunaga also admires him very much, and even secretly told himself that he has a good impression of him, which even Shibata Katsuya is a little jealous, what kind of person is Oda Nobunaga, it is extremely difficult to get his praise, what real thoughts will he have?

"Hey! My own truest thoughts. Father-in-law, I think you know more about the personality of the ancestor Oda-sama than I do. The Takayama clan paused here, originally wanting Shibata Katsuya to say something, but his cheap father-in-law kept silent and could only continue.

"Oda-sama is indeed a very capable and charismatic person, otherwise the Oda family would not have reached the point at that time, and even surpassed the Kuroda family to become the number one force in the world for a time, this is indeed a great achievement, this is something that I have personally experienced, so there will definitely be no distortion or other bad expressions.

It's just that Oda-sama has always had a perverse personality, is a high-flying person, and does things extremely self-consciously, without taking into account the feelings of the people around him. A few years ago in Tanba Province, Kuroda Danmasa met with Oda-sama, and Kuroda Danmasa-sama mentioned his personality problems, and kindly reminded him not to be too public, otherwise he would die at the hands of his own subordinates.

From this alone, it can be seen that they are willing to mention a point or two to their enemies, and what an open-minded person Kuroda Danmasa is compared to Lord Oda. And the final result, my father-in-law also saw it, and in the end, Oda Nobu-sama died in the rebellion of Matsunaga Hide, and Danmasa-sama became a word. ”

"Although there is no problem with you saying this, as a samurai, shouldn't my generation uphold the idea of loyalty?"

"My father-in-law is right, as a traditional samurai, I should indeed be loyal to my master's family, but the question is whether my father-in-law has ever thought that this era is an era of change, not an era of conformism that can accommodate traditional samurai." The Takayama clan said loudly.

"The time of change......" Katsuie Shibata said, somewhat puzzled.

"Father-in-law should be very familiar with Nobunaga, his actions are somewhat inconsistent with traditional etiquette, often have their own more innovative thinking, has never said in front of father-in-law, this era is an era of change?

I think my father-in-law must have heard this statement from Nobunaga's side, but my father-in-law didn't agree with it in his heart. Because my father-in-law is a traditional samurai, I have a lot of persistence in my heart, which does not match this era. It is precisely because it does not match the times that there are some things that my father-in-law definitely does not want to change.

From ancient times to the present, there has been little contact between our country and people overseas, my father-in-law, imagine that hundreds of years ago, or even decades ago, in this world, there were times when you saw the Southern Barbarians and the Ming people trading on the land of our country.

At that time, wars were fought with the most common spears, katanas, and bows and arrows, and there were no iron cannons like the present day, or battlefield weapons such as the three guns that Nobunaga had successfully invented. Moreover, in that era, there were no more perfect formations like now, and all of this was the product of the changes of the times. ”

"If, according to what you mean, the times should need to change and progress, wouldn't it be more obvious that our original lord Nobunaga is a lord worthy of our following and allegiance!"

"Father-in-law, you are wrong again, I really think that this era is a time of change. However, this does not mean that we must be loyal to a lord like Nobunaga, and in contrast, I think that a virtuous person such as Kuroda Danmasa-sama is a more suitable object for our allegiance. ”

"Oh! What do you mean by that? ”

"Father-in-law, from Kuroda's past experience, we can easily see that he is a very long-term figure, and he may well have foreseen that this is an era of great change.

Since he entered the Oda family, he has often received various information about the Kuroda family, and he has been paying attention to the various movements of the Kuroda family, and it can be seen from this information that Kuroda Danmasa-sama is a person who is very willing to change.

And his change is more of a kind of world-mindedness, which is very different from Nobunaga! The reason why I am willing to submit to the Kuroda family is the most important point, Kuroda Danmasa-sama has a convincing charm and can tolerate the world.

Father-in-law, the world has been chaotic for too long, Ming Guo has a saying, the world's major events will be divided for a long time, and they will be divided for a long time, and the chaotic times in this world will not last for a hundred years, and now it is time for the whole world to merge, and Kuroda Danzheng is the person who integrates the world. ”

"You mean the world is unified, right?"

"Hey! Exactly. ”

"Even the shogun of the year, Ashikaga Sonji, was an amazing person, and he didn't do it."
