Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 58 You Tengtang Gaohu is worth 5.5 stone in exchange

After dealing with the business, the monkey began to chat with the show family, the most important thing was the news from Awa and Shinano.

It turned out that after the Hide family returned to Bi, the Kobe Nobuko, who was afraid of making a bad impression in front of his father, under the repeated urging of Nobunaga, ordered the army to attack. Bu Yuan was defeated.

The 3-odd Oda army was chased by the 1 Changzong army all the way to the foot of Katsurui Castle, and Kobe Nobuyoshi returned directly to Kishiwada Castle and shivered.

On the side of Yuanqin from the Oda family, even though the Oda army was defeated by himself, Yuanqin from the long Zongzong family still knew the gap between himself and the Oda family. Toshio took the line of Akechi Mitsuhide and asked Nobunaga to surrender.The condition is just to keep the current frontier as a territory.

But seeing that his unsatisfactory son fled back to Kishiwada Castle, Nobunaga wrote an extremely fierce letter of rebuke, asking Kobe Nobuyoshi to organize an army to cross the sea to attack Shikoku.At the same time, I met the Yamato country Jianjingji, and the Settsu country Ikeda Hengxing was assigned to him.

As a result, Kobe Nobuyoshi was assigned to all the powers of several houses in the Oda family. Even Jianjing Dingji and Ikeda Hengxing, who were responsible for suppressing Jiyi, were temporarily transferred to Nobuyao's account as a force.

It's not all bad news. Takeda's family, Zong Yichang, saw that the Takeda family lost two consecutive stops under the leadership of Katsurai, the two hundred and five. Seeing through the muddy nature of Takeda Katsurai, he surrendered to Nobunaga in February this year.

Oda Nobunaga took the opportunity of Kiso Yoshihaka's betrayal of the Takeda family, and immediately appointed his son Oda Nobunaga to sit in Gifu as the general commander of the Takeda Army. .

At the same time, Kayama Nobukun, who was the supervisor of the Suruga of the Takeda family, also used Suwa County, the Shinano country, as security under the guidance of Tokugawa Ieyasu.At the same time, the original territory of Kafi after the death of Takeda Katsurai was retained, and his son Shinji succeeded the governor of the Takeda family to surrender to Nobunaga on the condition.

The betrayal of the two families of one west and one east, like dominoes, triggered the turmoil in the Takeda collar.

In 1581, Ueno, together with Uesugi, Satake, and Satomi's family, launched the Hojo siege net to drive the Hojo clan out of the Ueno and Sobo areas, facing the biggest crisis.

The Hide family knew that in this battle, when the outside world thought that the Takeda family was about to fall into the long-delayed defensive battle, the Oda army used one month to defeat the entire command of the Takeda family, until the surrender of Takato Castle, where Shinano finally resisted at the end of March. .

Desperate, Katsurai decides to abandon the new castle of Kafei and go to the territory of his brother-in-law, Nobuyoshi Oyamada.At first, Oyamada Nobumo also promised to come down, saying that he would help Shenglai, but after Shenglai left the new house and burned it down, Oyamada Nobumo refused to enter the city.

Within a month, Takeda Katsurai, who was betrayed by three people one after another, became disheartened and finally committed suicide by cutting his belly on Mount Tianmu.

It's just that the time has just come to March, and the Oda family's invasion has just begun. The monkeys and the retainers don't think this battle will end soon. After all, the Takeda family is also a big name with a million stones.

Therefore, the monkey said to the Xiu family, "We have to work hard, and strive to reduce the Maori family before the Takeda family perishes, and let the lord see the ability of our western warriors!"

The Xiu family cannot spoil in advance. Even if the spoiler is revealed, there is no reason to prove that the Takeda family is about to collapse, so I pretended to be very excited and promised to cooperate with the monkeys to attack the Maori. In fact, I knew in my heart that this battle could not end before the Takeda family .

Just when the topic was about to end, the Xiu family saluted Hideyoshi and said, "Father, my son has something to ask for. The Yuxi family suffered a rebellion from Meizuo, and their family members were in ruins. I asked my father to return the Toutang Gaohu that I borrowed at the beginning. My son is willing. In exchange for 5.5 stones from the two Harima counties, please allow my father."

"Are you saying that Harima Sayou and Ako exchanged 5.5 stones for Todo Takatora?" The monkey confirmed to the Hide family, "Do you know that Todo Takatora is now the famous owner of 1.5 stones."

"These ministers all know that they are going to use 1.8 stones in Bizen Tianshen Mountain to block the Tengtang Gaohu." Xiujia said, "After Lord Oka Lisheng moved the town of Meizuo, Tianshenshan City, as the throat of Bizen and Meizuo, really needs people like Gaohu. Nengchen guards and asks your father to do your best."

The monkey thought for a while and said, "I used 8000 shi to exchange for 5.5 shi of land. It doesn't seem like it's a loss, so I know, I'll talk to Xiao Yilang later, Gao Hu is now with Xiao Yilang, and I want to come to him. I will agree too, after all, it was originally your retainer."

"Yes, thank you very much." The Xiu family salutes the monkey here.

"Then that's it, you just came back from Mizuo, and you have two days off. The day after tomorrow, you will have a military meeting in Okayama to discuss the matter of making a profit." The monkey said to the Xiu family, "But come back, Hachiro, you Okayama castle repairer. It's so big!"

"It's all the credit of the retainers. In the past year, the outline has only been completed initially, and many places have not been perfected."

"Such a big city really fits your status as a 40 stone daimyo. When the world settles down, I will build such a magnificent city."

Hide's family did not expect that after Oda Nobunaga planted a dream of a tower in the monkey's heart, the Hide's family actually planted a giant city dream in the monkey's heart. This dream directly led to the Osaka Castle built by the monkey. a circle.

----------

That night, Takato Todo, who came back from the Yuchai Army, brought his retainer Toto Takatori to visit the Hide family. At this time, Takato Todo had not yet become the name of Iyo 7 Stones, so Takayoshi Takayoshi had not adopted Niwa Nagahide. Come here, Gao Hu's famous retainer is only his nephew Gao Xing.

Tengtang Gaohu came to the side hall of the Xiu family and saluted the Xiu family.

"Long time no see, Gennosuke." The Xiu family greeted Tengtang Gaohu first. "I didn't expect you to become a famous master of 1.5 stones"

"Yes, it's been two years since Xinzhuang Mountain was separated. His Highness has also become a big name of 2 stones." Gao Hu said a little embarrassedly, and his words were a little rusty.

"Yeah, time flies so fast, did your father tell you?"

"Thank you very much, Your Highness. Under He De He Neng, it is worth your Highness to exchange 5.5 shi from the two counties." Gao Hu slammed his head on the ground again and said choked up.

"I don't dare to say it to others, but you, Tengtang Gaohu, are worth 5.5 shi in exchange. In the future, please continue to serve the Duke in this family!" The Xiu family encouraged Tengtang Gaohu.

"Don't forget, you are the first retainer I recruited. I will never forget the promise I made in Himeji."

"Thanks to His Highness for not abandoning him, Gao Hu will definitely swear to accompany him to the death."

"Speaking of which, I'm going to arrange you in Tenjin Mountain Castle, 1.8 stones, as a hub connecting the main family Bizen, Misaku, and his father's Harima. You can do it well. Make sure to build Tenjin Mountain!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely take advantage of my advantages to develop Tianshen Mountain better, not to mention the prestige of Your Highness and Lord Zuomatou."

"You don't have to go to the Maori for this time, take the time to organize the interior, and join the beautiful masters such as Mr. Gang Lisheng as the second echelon." The Xiu family thought about it and finally decided to let everyone who has passed the seal prepare first. Inside the territory, after the integration is completed, the Maori family will be added to the offensive.
