different warring states of japan

Chapter 517

Owari country, Inuyama Castle.

Maeda Toshiie was participating in the military meeting chaired by Shibata Katsuie. At this time, a letter was delivered from Komakiyama Castle, which conveyed two meanings.

One is to order Maeda Toshiie to lead troops to Nishimikawa to support Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was besieged by Ichikui in Okazaki Castle, and suppress the Ichikui crowd.

Both, allow Sasa Naruma to join Muyizhong, and continue to serve under Shibata Katsue as Yuri.

After the two of them received Oda Nobunaga's order, the atmosphere around them became subtle.

Maeda Toshiie remained calm, and Sasaka Naruto was not shallow, but his face was slightly ugly.

Shibata Katsuie glanced at the two of them, with a trace of anger faintly appearing in his heart.

The Oda vassals have different attitudes towards the capture of East Mino, among which Lin Xiuzhen and Sakuma Nobumori have the most slack attitudes.

Lin Xiuzhen, as the chief family elder, was on the wrong team in the Oda family's civil war, and Oda Nobunaga was not happy.

She did not have the military talent and military status of Shibata Katsuya, so of course she was thrown aside by the real Oda Nobunaga.

Seeing that the Lin family is about to decline, and they don't want to consume the power of the family, they are too hard-working.

Sakuma Nobumori was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and Xiao Fu Ze was concerned about peace of mind. He just wanted to live a good life in Owari, and he didn't want to make any more troubles.

Maeda Toshiie and Sasa Narumasa were the most active in the battle to encroach on East Mino.

Maeda Toshiie intends to make meritorious service in exchange for a reward to improve his status in the Shiba family, and also hopes to maintain a good personal relationship with the Owari Samurai family.

She was originally highly intelligent, gentle as jade, and friendly to everyone.This time she led troops here and cooperated closely with Katsuya Shibata, which won her goodwill even more.

But Zuo Zuo Chengzheng wanted to make a career, and he insisted on both civil and military skills, and he was ambitious to get ahead.

She is full of wit and bravery in battle, and she is also a powerful general under Shibata Katsuie's command.

Shibata Katsuie relied heavily on these two people, but secretly he valued Sasa Narumasa more because Maeda Toshiie was not one of his own.

No matter how good the relationship between Maeda Toshiie and their Oda retainers is, it can't change a fact.

She is a vassal of Shiba, representing the interests of the Shiba family, and the rewards she received do not belong to the Oda family, but are brought back to the Shiba leader.

No matter how many contributions Maeda Toshiie made for Shibata Katsuie in Mino Raiders, in the end, the fat and water will end up in the fields of outsiders.

Therefore, Shibata Katsuie silently gave Sasa Naruma more opportunities, which led to her considerable military exploits, and she even wanted to flatter her lord.

Of course Shibata Katsuie would be outraged.

The old lady gave you the opportunity to make meritorious service, and she expected you to be my helper. Who would have thought that this white-eyed wolf would wag his tail at the house governor.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, it is a taboo to go beyond the boss and connect with the higher-ups.

The implicit meaning is that you are going to sit on an equal footing with me?Or are you going to climb on top of me and slap me?

Sasao Narumasa squeezed into his mother's clothes with all his heart, and wanted to be Oda Nobunaga's direct minister and confidant.

As a result, Oda Nobunaga gave her an identity, but still regarded her as an expatriate and continued to serve under Shibata Katsuya.

This made Sasa Narumasa feel disappointed and embarrassed, and also made Shibata Katsuie turn bad towards her, but he couldn't express it.

Comparing the two, Shibata Katsuie has a stronger affection for Maeda Toshiie, and his mind begins to tilt towards her.

she cared.

"Li Jiaji, Your Highness asked you to lead troops to Sanhe to assist in the battle, are you sure?"

Maeda Toshiie said indifferently.

"Your Highness has an order, so you should try your best to obey it."

For Oda Nobunaga to obstruct her meritorious service, Maeda Toshiie has long been mentally prepared.

Although she used Shiba Ashgaru as a stepping stone and pretended to invest in Oda Nobunaga, the British lord was not easy to fool.

Nobunaga is an extremely realistic egoist. Seeing Maeda Toshiie's strength soaring, she will naturally suppress her and prevent her from getting out of control.

Maeda Toshiie has been with her for so many years, so he knows this person very well.It's just that she didn't expect that she would send herself to Sanhe.

Sanhe has always been the same, it is indeed troublesome.

However, Maeda Toshiie had previously defended against the attack of the Matsudaira family in the mountainous area south of Owari, and had carefully studied the four counties of Xisanhe.

There is actually a way to quickly solve the seemingly serious Quanjing Yikui, which depends on whether Matsudaira Motoyasu has the wisdom and means to deal with it.

In the past, Tian Li's family knew Matsudaira Yuankang, who seemed to be submissive, but was a very tolerant owl.

She is confident in assisting the Matsudaira family to quickly pacify Ichikui. In this way, she can make more meritorious deeds, and Oda Nobunaga will only regret it even more.

I don't know who gave Nobunaga the idea, so that Maeda Toshiie had the opportunity to become a big inside the Oda family.

Maeda Toshiie was thinking about the key point. Seeing that she was silent, Shibata Katsuie thought she was worried about the shortage of troops, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Li Jiaji, now that the East Meinong border has returned to calm, there is no need for too many troops to be stationed for the time being.

Since the lord has ordered, in my direct reserve team, you take three teams to Sanhe to assist in the work. "

Maeda Toshiie looked at her in surprise.

Oda Nobunaga's order was for her to fill up three backup teams and go to Mikawa.

Owari Shiba has a mobilization force of [-] shi, which is barely considered a semi-reserve team. In fact, Shibata Katsuie only needs to give one and a half.

Moreover, what she gave to Maeda Toshiie was her direct subordinate elite, not the military power of other retainers, or even the mob of the people of the country.

This is a good way to pretend to be stupid, misunderstand the meaning of the lord, and insist on giving Maeda Toshiie a person.

Sasa Naruma couldn't help but said.

"Master Shibata, did you give too much military force? The Lord only allowed three of them..."

Shibata Katsuie turned his head and glared at her, and cursed before she could finish speaking.

"You know how to fight or I know how to fight!
Sanhe has always been Yikui, and the number of Yikui people will not be small. How could the lord allow only three backup teams?
It must be Toshika Hime leading Shiba's army to fight, and the Oda family sends out three backup teams to assist. "

Shibata Katsuie's scolding stunned Sasa Naruma, and she looked left and right at the samurai family in the chamber.

Everyone said that Mr. Shibata Katsuie has a strong understanding ability, and the Lord must mean that.

Sasaka Naruma blushed and lowered his head silently.

Maeda Toshiie is a good person, and the Oda retainers sitting here have a good relationship with her.Shibata Katsuya wanted to help her, and others had no reason to act as bad guys to stop it.

Only Naruma Sasao, as Yori sent by Oda Nobunaga, had to speak out.But she also knew that she was somewhat isolated.

Oda Nobunaga is reforming in Owari, and there are rumors that he wants to disturb business interests and the military system.

It's nothing more than business profit, the master wants to eat alone, so everyone earns less.

Following Oda Nobunaga's external expansion and laying down more territory, it is not a disadvantage for the samurai who love the land.

But the military system is the lifeblood of the Wu family.The Wu family The Wu family is a hereditary nobleman who started with force.

Oda Nobunaga wants to exalt the ashigaru of those untouchables, and let Hime Takeshi and civilians have equal military positions. This is absolutely impossible!
