When he returned to the Oda family from the command of Shibata Katsuya, many people didn't know about him, especially the young samurai who were sitting around Oda Nobutada, who didn't know Muto Shunhide at all, and even Oda Nobutada himself couldn't maintain too much trust in him.

At this time, Muto Shunxiu sat alone in the middle of the main hall, as a senior, undergoing the duties of these rising stars, like a boat in the storm of the sea, in danger of sinking at any time.

"Lord Lord, and all of you, I don't have any other meaning, I am absolutely loyal to the Oda family, otherwise I wouldn't have given up everything I had and returned to the Oda family from the command of Lord Shibata Katsuya.

This time, the reason why Zai supported sending someone to rescue Hashiba Hideyoshi was not out of selfishness, and even Zai was extremely disgusted with this person.

But as Oto Chinobu said before, if we don't rescue Hideyoshi Hashiba this time, when the Kuroda family wins the battle, they will inevitably continue to attack our Oda family. Niwa Nagahide-sama is not good at military affairs, and he must not be the opponent of the Kuroda family. ”

"I understand what Muto-sama means, but there are a few questions I want to ask you." Oda Nobutada said.

"Please teach your lordship."

"First, are you sure that Hideyoshi Hashiba is not an opponent of the Kuroda family? You must know that the current Yushiba Hideyoshi has a group of wise and brave people such as Masaharu Mizuda, Toto Chinobu, Toda Katsutaka, Fujido Takatora, Ishida Mitsunari, Asano Nagamasa, etc., and there are 10,000 horses under his command, so can't this resist the attack of the Kuroda family? Oda Nobutada asked.

Tsuda Motsuki, Kimura Yunobu, Manmi Shigemoto, Hattori Kazutada, Maeno Keijo, Saji Nobukata, Inada Uemoto, Hasegawa Shuichi and others who were sitting on both sides all looked at Muto Shunhide at this time.

"My lord, these people you just mentioned are indeed very powerful, and these people are definitely the top talents in my Oda family, even within the entire Wa Kingdom.

But has the lord ever thought about how many talents the Kuroda family has? Not to mention the leader of the Kuroda Vocational High School, that is a figure that no one can defeat so far, even if these people can all be ten with one and one by one, with the number of talents of the Kuroda family, they can definitely crush them in the end.

As for the 10,000 horses under the command of Hashiba Hideyoshi, not to mention, the people and horses under the command of the Kuroda family are all elite, which is not a secret, and only the 3,000 soldiers at the core of the family can compete with them. Moreover, the number of the Kuroda family's army has reached 40,000, even if only half of them are the elite of the Kuroda family, it is not something that Lord Yuchai can resist. Even if it is a conspiracy and trickery, it is definitely not an opponent, and Kuroda Vocational High School himself is a master in this regard. ”

"I see, it seems that this cunning monkey is really not Kuroda's opponent!"

"My lord, there is another situation that you don't know."

"Oh! You said. ”

"The Kuroda family has always used their own long-range team as their own means of attack, but this time, all the long-range soldiers of the Kuroda family's own family were not sent to other partial divisions, but all gathered together and listened to under the command of Kuroda Vocational High School. In short, all of the Kuroda family's ranged teams are now in the Kuroda family's camp in Kyoto. ”

"What Kuroda family brought all the long-range teams to Yamashiro Country, how many of these people are combined?" Oda Nobutada said in surprise.

"Judging from the previous situation, this number will definitely not be less than five thousand."

"What, five thousand...... 5,000 long-range soldiers, this ......"

"Lord Lord, you just said that you have other questions, please continue to ask, and I will answer them one by one in the next meeting!"

Muto Shunhide until now is not the time to hit morale, so he immediately continued.

"Hmmm! Previously, Tomonobu Oto said that the threat of the Kuroda family was much greater than that of Tokugawa Ieyasu in Mikawa Province, and now that Tokugawa Ieyasu has almost obtained the land of Toe Province, which one do you think is more threatening to the family than the two? Oda Nobutada continued to ask after sorting out his feelings.

"There is no doubt that the threat of the Kuroda family is indeed greater, and the Kuroda family currently controls the land of millions of stones, and it is already an opponent that the family cannot defeat. Even if the family can resist the attack of the non-Kuroda family this time, it will definitely be attacked by the Kuroda family after that, and there is no way to do it.

But relatively speaking, the Tokugawa family's problems with the family should not be underestimated, you must know that the Tokugawa family's Mikawa Province is next to the main family, Owari Province, if Tokugawa Ieyasu is more aggressive, he can directly attack my Mino Province by Owari Province.

Judging from the current situation, it is not a very good way for the family to ignore either side, but unfortunately the family only has 15,000 people now, and it is definitely impossible to effectively block both sides. ”

"What do you think the family should do?"

"Please leave a small number of men and horses, and send 5,000 troops to the border of Mikawa Province, make a posture of marching, and threaten the Tokugawa family of Mikawa Country.

In addition, the remaining nearly 10,000 horses of the family were quickly assembled and joined the 8,000 soldiers of Niwa Nagahide of Omi Province. In this way, the family had an army of 18,000. ”

"In other words, the main thing is to rescue the monkeys, right? It's really unwilling! "Although Oda Nobutada can focus on the overall situation, he still can't mind the previous things.

"What the lord said is right, but it's not all right, we do want to rescue Hashiba Hideyoshi, but how the family chooses to rescue is not a certain thing, it all depends on the choice of the family."

"Is the difference between rescue and rescue correct?" Oda Nobutada asked.

"Yes, for Yucai Hideyoshi-sama's side, we will still talk about some ways to rescue, after all, he indirectly killed Nobunaga Gong before, which is an unforgivable fault of my Oda family, but the 10,000 horses under his command are what the family needs very much now." Shunhide Muto explained.

"So how should we behave?"

"Slow ......"

"Slow?"

"Yes, it's slow. Although Hashiba Hideyoshi's team is not the opponent of the Kuroda family, relying on the retainers and army under his command, there must still be a certain ability to resist, and in this case, he can still do it if he defends the Kuroda family alone for a few days. ”
