Nobunaga is a witch

Takenaka Hanbei's meaning of this obeisance does not need to be stated clearly, Oda Nobunaga also knows what it is for, and what she did just now is not in vain.

"Mr. Hanbei, you don't need to be so polite." The goal was achieved, and Oda Nobunaga hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Raising his head, Takenaka Hanbei's eyes were very clear, and he spoke straightforwardly and sincerely, "From now on, please let me follow Nobunaga-sama and do my best to end this troubled world."

Oda Nobunaga laughed cheerfully and cheerfully, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Hanbei."

Oda Nobunaga's smile also woke up the other two who heard this.

What she said just now not only made Takenaka Hanbei's heart surge, but also shocked Mori Kasari and Kinoshita Tokichiro.

Don't mention Sen Kecheng's admiration and respect after that, and his joy and excitement that he didn't cast the wrong lord.

Kinoshita Tokichiro stared at Oda Nobunaga dumbfounded. Originally, his purpose of following Nobunaga was very simple, to pursue the identity of a samurai and follow a worthy lord.

But he was born in a rural area, and he had never seen such ambition and arrogance. At this moment, besides the shock, he also had a vague idea in his heart.

With such a lord, can he go a step further and make his dream bigger.

At that moment, Kinoshita Tokichiro's ambition surged in his chest, so what if he was born as a farmer, he wanted to follow the lord and become a daimyo with a castle!

Of course, no one pays attention to Kinoshita Tokichiro's thoughts now. Hanbei Takenaka is actually a very straightforward person, as can be seen from the fact that he immediately captured Inabayama Castle after making up his mind.

Now that he decided to follow Oda Nobunaga, he immediately started to think about it from Nobunaga's point of view, and changed his words neatly, "Master is too polite." After capturing Mino, do you have any plans for the next step?"

Oda Nobunaga also sat down again, "I don't have a clear idea yet, I'm going to talk about it first." The area she actually controlled suddenly doubled, and she felt that the most important thing at this time was not to think about it. To lay down another piece of territory, but to integrate the two countries internally and maintain the stability of the border externally.As for this point, she already has some preliminary ideas, which is also the main thing to do during this period.

Hanbei Takenaka nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "It is indeed necessary to consolidate the two countries first, but what I am asking is the next goal of the lord in the future."

Hearing his continuous questioning, Oda Nobunaga understood that the newly appointed military adviser probably had a clue in his mind, "What did Mr. Hanbei say?"

As the first plan for the new lord, Hanbei Takenaka naturally cheered up, "I think it's time for the lord to go to Luo."

In a word, everyone was shocked, only Oda Nobunaga's expression remained unchanged, "Shangluo? Interesting. But there is Omi between me and the capital, the Asai clan in the North Omi and the Rokkaku clan in the South Omi."

Although she fully understands the benefits of coercing the emperor to make the princes, how can she go to Luo if the Qianjing clan and Liujiao clan are not brought down?

Hanbei Takenaka glanced over, and the expressions of all the people present had been caught in his eyes. Seeing his new lord's calm appearance, he couldn't help but rate him two points higher, "Has the lord ever considered forming an alliance with the Asai clan? ?” This handsome young man smiled lightly, as if he was discussing spring flowers and autumn moons, rather than military affairs, “As long as an alliance is reached with the Asai clan, the Liujiao clan is nothing to worry about, and the road to the capital will naturally open.” After a pause, his words were somewhat meaningful, "The world cannot be won by force alone."

Hanbei Takenaka's words seemed to open a door, and Mori Kasei and Tokichiro Kinoshita's blood boiled with excitement, wishing that the lord would immediately form an alliance with the Asai family, and then succeed in Shangluo and become the people of the world.

On the contrary, Oda Nobunaga looked thoughtful, "It's not impossible to form an alliance with the Asai family, but such an alliance may not be reliable."

Since Takenaka Hanbei dared to propose this plan, of course he had thought of all aspects, "It's not necessarily just an ordinary alliance. What if you marry your sister to Nagamasa Asai?"

"Ichihime?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head, "I will not marry my younger sister to someone who may become an enemy in the future."

Even if we form an alliance with Nagamasa Asai, the situation in the Warring States Period is changing rapidly. Today's friend may be tomorrow's enemy, and she wants to rule the world. Unless Asai's complete surrender, it is very likely that swords will be turned against each other in the future. How will Ashi behave himself at that time? place.

She had made up her mind a long time ago that her sister would not be a victim of a political marriage.

Not only Oda Nobunaga shook his head at Takenaka Hanbei's proposal, but even Kinoshita Tokichiro shook his head in his heart to help the lord.

Lord Shiji is a fairy in his heart, and he doesn't want Lord Shiji to marry into Asai's house at all!In no mood!

However, Hanbei Takenaka couldn't hear Kinoshita Tokichiro's heartfelt voice. Even if he heard it, he would probably dismiss it. Could the master's plan be stopped by the thoughts of a small retainer?

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's refusal without hesitation, Hanbei Takenaka was not in a hurry, but asked someone to serve tea, and personally offered a cup to Oda Nobunaga, "Master, please."

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga accepted it with pleasure, he continued, "My lord loves your sister very much."

"Well, Ichihime is very cute." Oda Nobunaga made no secret of his love for his smart younger sister, "Besides, I don't think the great cause needs to be built on women's happiness." Even if Ichihime is not sacrificed, she The same can win the world!

"Then who does the lord want to marry Lord Shi Ji to achieve happiness? Your retainer?" Hanbei Takenaka said calmly, "But your retainers are also at risk of dying in battle," he said gently I took a sip of tea, "Marry the children of the public in the capital, not to mention that these people are already a bunch of trash, even if you want to marry your sister, will the other party accept it? Even if you accept it, will it be good for your sister?" He laid out the facts one by one, "Then if you marry an ordinary person who doesn't need to go to the battlefield, in such a troubled world, can that person protect your sister well? What's more, Lord Shiji is so outstanding, you have the heart to marry her ?"

"So you think Asai Nagamasa is a good choice?" Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes.

"Yes," Hanbei Takenaka nodded without hesitation, "I have met Mr. Asai Nagamasa, a man of outstanding talent, both civil and military, and his talent can be seen from his previous actions. Such an excellent person, It also matches the status of Lord Ichihime, don't you think that if you remove the fact that it is for an alliance and marriage, this is a good marriage in the first place?" Hanbei Takenaka smiled slightly, "There is another point, you know Nagamasa Asai's The origin of the long word?"

Oda Nobunaga tilted his head slightly, "Huh?"

"That's a word from your name." Hanbei Takenaka picked up his teacup and saluted Oda Nobunaga from a distance, "How is it? My lord?"
