Creation makes people, Zhengheng suddenly had an inexplicable emotion, he looked at the unruly Oda Nobunaga in front of him, the two are of the same age, he is only two months older than Oda Nobuna, his status is very different, and the momentum on his body is different.

Originally, Masahiro had imagined several scenes when the two met, and he also thought about whether to detain Oda Nobunaga, but when he actually saw the living Oda Nobunaga, all thoughts were put down, and he looked at Oda Nobunaga with a normal heart.

The sensitive Oda Nobunaga felt a murderous intent slowly dissipating, and he was unruly and able to fight habitually, and was once called "Owari Great Fool" to confuse the eyes of the world and see clearly the good and evil in Oda's family, which was a strategy used to paralyze the enemy.

Oda Nobunaga is now under attack from all sides. Since the murder of Michizo Saito, the two countries have been in a state of hostility, and although the two sides have won and lost each other, it has also dragged down the time for Oda Nobunaga to unify Owari Province. At the same time, Imagawa Yoshimoto of Junyuan San frequently sent troops in and out of the Mikawa and Owari borders.

Now, the Date clan is holding the strong Kamiraku, and the situation has changed abruptly, whether it is the Saito clan of Minokoku who is close to Omi Province, or Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has a foothold of the Riyoshi clan as the new general of the Seiyi, they must accelerate the strengthening of their respective strengths, and their goals are all Owari Province. Oda Nobunaga wants to fight his way out of the fight under the attack of Saito Yoshiryu and Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the only way to ask for help from the powerful Date clan, whether it is submissive or soft, as long as he can get through the current predicament, he will not hesitate to pay.

Masahiro looked at Oda Nobunaga, who was deep in thought, a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled: "Nobunaga, I knew a long time ago that Oda Nobunaga would definitely become a hero, but I didn't have the opportunity, and I'm very happy to meet you today." Nobunaga's visit to me this time shows that you are as close to each other as I am. Heck, it doesn't get any more pleasing than that. Officers and soldiers, hurry up and let people prepare a banquet. ”

Despite this, Oda Nobunaga was respectful and cautious, he had just been keenly aware of a hint of murderous intent that quickly dissipated, and his always correct instincts did not lie. Oda Nobunaga naturally did not believe in the good intentions of Masahiro, and his appearance was deferential and his manners were decent.

Masahiro groaned and looked at him deliberately, his gaze was obviously very gentle, but Oda Nobunaga felt that his eyes seemed to be omnipresent, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and his face seemed to be unaffected at all. Masahiro asked, "Owari Province is located at the heart of the Tokaido, and it is a necessary place for the Kanto region to enter the Kinai, and the economy is developed, the land is fertile, and in general it is a fundamental place to gain the world, I wonder if Nobunaga can keep the family business left by his father?" ”

I see, Oda Nobunaga heard from the words of Masaki why he sent out the murderous intention, and from the topography, whoever owns the Nobi Plain can use it as a base to recruit 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and it is likely to threaten.

Such an obvious question would be refuted by anyone, but Oda Nobunaga was obviously an anomaly, he pondered for a moment, and replied unhurriedly: "I am the governor of the Oda clan, and the Oda clan is the ruler of Owari Province, and it is the duty and responsibility to guard until the last moment, even if it is at the expense of life." ”

The meaning of Oda Nobunaga's words is that he has the obligation and responsibility to defend Owari Province, but he is not confident enough to defend Owari Province, that is not self-confidence but arrogance, and in history, Oda Nobunaga's raid on Imagawa Yoshimoto has also been prepared to become a benevolent if it is not successful. Although the current Imagawa Yoshimoto has lost a lot of vitality in the Mikawa Kingdom, the people of the Mikawa Province are more focused on the Imagawa clan, which makes the strength of Imagawa Yoshimoto increase instead of decreasing. No one in Mino's Yoshiryu Saito believed that he would die of leprosy.

Oda Nobunaga was caught between Imagawa Yoshimoto and Saito Yoshiryu, and if he said that he would definitely be able to defeat Imagawa Yoshimoto and Saito Yoshiryu, he would become a laughing stock at that time, of course, he did it in history, but it was full of historical accidents. Let Oda Nobunaga come again, and he will not be as perfect as he has done in history, but under the instigation of the wings of the big butterfly of Masahiro. The current Oda Nobunaga's desire to perfectly reproduce history is a delusional delusion.

People are born with their own instruments, Zheng Heng thinks that he has no ambitions, he can only have tens of thousands of stone princes at most, not more than 100,000 stones, and now he sits in the position of the world, but there is no hero at the time, so that the shaft is famous.

Zhengheng's self-vision is insufficient, but in the eyes of others, it is just the opposite, the legendary rise of Zhengheng, if it is only once, it is a miracle, but every time it is like this, it is wisdom, and the wisdom of Zhengheng is superior, so that it can take less than eight or nine years to grow from a useless landlord to a hegemon with one of the two parts of the world. Zhengheng went to Luo this time, and the banner he held was to pacify the world, and with the slogan of the throne of Qin, he disdained to fight against all the vassal forces that hindered the unification of the world.

Now, the power of political balance is in full swing, and his plan is being carried out in an orderly manner. Looking back now, Masahiro and Oda Nobunaga are of the same age, and the time they took over the family business is almost the same, when Masahiro took over, there were only two retainers and more than 30 ashigaru, which is very different from Oda Nobuhide leaving him with most of the Owari country. Eight or nine years later, Oda Nobunaga had just taken over Owari Province and was full of ambition, but when he saw his peers in front of him, a wave of frustration welled up in his heart.

Masahiro looked at Oda Nobunaga, smiled slightly, and said, "Nobunaga, do you know why I invited you here?" Your instrument and style of unity of knowledge and action are absolutely beyond the reach of others. But the Imagawa clan is not ambiguous, and this battle will be very cruel and fierce. ”

The greater the number of Oda Nobunaga's weapons, the more intense this war will be. Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has Jun Yuansan, was a figure in the eyes of Zhengheng, as his pace is getting faster and faster, Imagawa Yoshimoto has been thrown away by him, Zhengheng is not a person who thinks highly of himself, he has always thought of himself as mediocre, so he will be conscientious and diligent, believing in the truth that stupid birds fly first. Now, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, and Takeda Harunobu have established themselves as the new generals of the Shoi.

Since Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, Takeda Harunobu and other princes who did not accept the political balance did not deny the new emperor he supported, the imperial court was under the control of the political balance. From the very beginning, the newly established general of Zhengyi decided that he would not be recognized by the imperial court, and he was just a pseudo-general of Zhengyi who was not recognized by many people. Obviously, whether it is Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, or Takeda Harunobu, they all know this, and they have a foothold in the Riyoshi clan in order to disgust the political balance.

Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, and Takeda Harunobu supported the new general of Zhengyi, no matter how ridiculous he was, he was worthless in the seriousness of Zhengheng, but from the moment they raised the banner in a high-profile manner, the three of them were destined to stand on the opposite side of Zhengheng. If Zhengheng can't react immediately, then the other princes from all over the world will despise him, thinking that he is just a hero from time to time and makes the erector famous. Politics and self-deprecation are okay, but others can't think the same.

Zheng Heng wanted to react very little, he wanted to send troops to attack Sanjia, and now that he had eaten enough territory, it was the most important thing for him to digest the actual benefits in front of him. I'm afraid that the three families are looking forward to Zhengheng sending troops in anger, and once Zhengheng sends troops, the three of them will be able to provoke those ****** who are watching from the sidelines, and preach that Zhengheng wants to eliminate all the forces of the Eastern Kingdom. Nowadays, for Zhengheng, it is better to be still and digest the new collar. Once he had digested his newly acquired territory, he would have absolute strength, and he would be able to crush any force that wanted to stand in his way.

The one who sent the troops was vetoed. Zheng Heng wants to smuggle a catapult to Nagao Jinghu through a merchant, and he also wants to consume Dongguo's strength, but he can't publicize this kind of performance, so he doesn't have many options.

In the face of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, and Takeda Harunobu's moves, he can't end up in person, so there is only a proxy war. There weren't many agents he could choose from, and if he hadn't really been able to find them, he wouldn't have chosen Oda Nobunaga.

There is only one sign of the political balance to judge the agent, and whoever is the opponent of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, and Takeda Harunobu is likely to become the agent he funded. At the same time, this agent is at least capable of fighting, and the distance cannot be too far.

Under such conditions, the only objects chosen by Masahiro are Echigo's Nagao Keitora and Owari's Oda Nobunaga, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Oda Nobunaga happened to appear in front of Masahiro, even if Oda Nobunaga was not a rebellious person who could be restrained in the eyes of Masahiro, Oda Nobunaga was unwilling to be restrained, and one day he would raise a tiger and leave a legacy, but he was confident that by that day, he would also have more powerful strength.

Oda Nobunaga listened to Masahiro's words, silent, he found that the right to speak was firmly grasped by the other party from the beginning, this is the power of power, his eyes flashed with envy, he secretly vowed that one day he would have such power.

Oda Nobunaga also has little choice, he wants to get out of the cage-like Owari Province, only with a bigger backer and more help can he have a chance to fulfill his long-cherished wish, as long as he defeats Saito Michizo and Imagawa Yoshimoto, he can soar into the sky.

It's just that the current situation in Owari Province is very grim, there is the Mino giant Saito Yoshiryu in the northwest, and there is the side of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the first strong bow of Tokaido, in the southeast, and at the same time, Ise is ready to move, once the main force of Imagawa Yoshimoto steps into Owari Province from the Mikawa border, Saito Yoshiryu will cross the Nobi Plain to seize important places, and the Senganji Temple, which is hostile to Oda Nobunaga, will not let go of such a good opportunity, and Oda Nobunaga is unable to hold on even if he has the ability to attack from three sides.

If it can be restrained by Shoei, when Owari Province is threatened by Imagawa Yoshimoto, as long as the Date family can send troops to Omi Province, Mino's Saito Yoshiryu and Ise's Senganji Temple will not raise troops to participate in the siege of Owari Province, so that Oda Nobunaga will have a chance to survive even if he fights to the death.

For this reason, Oda Nobunaga was unruly, but he also made a humble gesture, and he bent down his always straight back and asked for the help of Masahiro. Zhengheng was bold, not only did he not have a master-slave distinction, but he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Nobunaga, I don't know if it's a marriage match?" Of course, Zhengheng knew that Oda Nobunaga already had a wife and three concubines, and he asked on purpose.

Oda Nobunaga's face was straight, he knew that if he could marry the woman of the Date family, the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages for him, but he loved his wife deeply, and his wife was not at fault, and he wanted to show his ambition, and the righteous name of seizing Mino Country was tied to his wife, and nodded back: "I already have a wife room below." ”

Zheng Heng showed a look of pity on his face, quickly covered up the past, and said, "I see, say hello to Mrs. on my behalf, do you have a child?" ”

Oda Nobunaga replied, "There are already three sons......"

Before he finished speaking, his face changed suddenly, and his expression was full of hesitation. He heard several meanings from Masahiro's words, first, Masahiro was willing to promise Oda Nobunaga to support him when he was attacked, and secondly, these supports could not be obtained for nothing, at least they had to send hostages, which were either in-laws or Mrs. Masamuro.

However, those who have achieved great things, they do not hesitate to abandon Mrs. Masamuro and children, and this Mrs. Masamuro is still of great use, because Oda Nobunaga stole the flag of Mino Province and left it for great use. Then the remaining three children, Oda Nobunaga thought for a while, and said, "The eldest son, Wonder Maru, is five years old, and Nobunaga will arrive on the same day, and I ask the adults to take care of it." ”

Zheng Heng laughed and said, "Wonderful pills?" He must be a smart and lovely child, Nobunaga's child is my child, and I will treat him well. Ignoring Oda Nobunaga's astonishment, he got up and instructed Kuroda Kanbei to prepare a banquet.

Oda Nobunaga silently drank the banquet and left the castle.

Zhengheng sat on the tatami mat, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Wonderful pills?" The last words before the banquet probably frightened Oda Nobunaga. However, he had already made concessions, and Oda Nobunaga should be able to see the difference between a hostage and an adopted son. At the same time, as the adopted son of the powerful Date family, it is also a reasonable thing for the weak Oda family, and the ambitious Oda Nobunaga will definitely make a reasonable decision, he will wait and see.

Castle Izakaya.

Oda Nobunaga leaned slightly towards Fuji and said, "I know that it is a very painful thing for you to accept a child who is not your own, and it is even more painful to be separated if you just accept it painfully, but for the sake of the Oda family, all the pain must be endured." ”

Nohime, who had always been strong, twitched in a low voice and did not answer, she didn't know that what Oda Nobunaga said was right. But she couldn't have children herself, so she took Wonder Pill from Nobunaga's concubine and raised her on her behalf, and gradually developed feelings. but today it will be snatched from her hand alive, as the pain of cutting flesh.

Oda Nobunaga stroked her back and didn't say anything all night. (To be continued.) )
