A "swoosh" arrow sounded. A bow and arrow shot over the red deer that was fleeing in front of me. I nodded proudly immediately. A servant ran to pick up the red deer. The Kishita Fujiro beside me reacted slowly than me, so I had to choose a pheasant and shoot it down with an arrow. Seeing that the prey in the woods was almost driven away by the retainers, I discussed it with Kinoshita Fujiro, and barbecued it on the spot and had a picnic. Hunting is Oda Nobunaga's favorite activity. After being influenced by his lord, most of the retainers also use hunting to make fun of it.

This time, the monkey was invited to hunt because the monkey did several tasks to purchase raw materials in the restoration project of Inayayama Castle some time ago. It is said that His Highness Oda saved thousands of guan. He was promoted to the rank of a prize of 600 stones. It has to be said that the monkey's luck improved after getting married. The hunting position this time was the forest not far from the Sanglin Village of Kishita Fujiro's fief. Although I was a few years younger than the monkey, my promotion and wealth were always far faster than the monkey, which made a group of young retainers of the Oda family fight with me as an example.

While enjoying the barbecue by the bonfire, there was a commotion in the guards guarded outside. After a while, Yagyu Sonyan came to report, "Lord, I caught three eyesless thieves."

‘Bring it up.’

After a while, three unlucky ghosts with iron cannons on their heads were escorted up. I took a look and saw two half-sized roosters tied up on their bamboo guns. I was about to speak up when I saw Fujiro Kishita beside me jumping up in surprise, "Isn't this - Xiaoliu? This is the ones made by Brother Nagakuang."

The bearded man in front looked up and said with excitement from death, "Monkey, it turns out it's you. I've been missing for many years. We are also going to hunt, and we just came back, and we really happened to run into each other. "If stealing is also considered hunting, it's a coincidence."

I don't have to punish me when I see this situation. I waved my hand and let my subordinates loosen their ties. However, Sonyan Yasuo was still a little worried. He held the hilt of the knife in his hand and stood behind the three people watching.

The monkey looked at me gratefully and immediately started a family offensive against Xiaoliu.

‘How are you doing now? What? Hundreds of people are still pioneering the land in the mountains. Your Highness Oda has not yet recognized the ownership of the land. I have said a long time ago that I am now an important official of the Oda family. (I really don’t know when the general, an intermediate samurai, will become an important official of the Oda family.) I will say hello to Your Highness Oda family. I will do this little thing. I also have a fief, which is the Sanglin Village in front, with 1,200 stones. (This number must be added to the unreclaimed wasteland.) What do you have to thank you? I will ask you for something in the future. (This is the real purpose. I heard that Kojiro Hinasuka has hundreds of troops in the mountains.)’

After the monkey had contacted each other, he generously invited the three of them to have a meal together. For these three, there seemed to be nothing happier than eating barbecue by the bonfire in winter. During the meal, he ate a large piece of meat and drank in big mouthfuls of wine. Xiaoliu, the other two people, Xiaoliu's brother Nagaya the eve of the past, and Yoshiharu Hio who had just joined the gang.

A few people met an old friend in a foreign land and were drinking happily. Ishikawa Yuemon walked over quietly and whispered a few words in his ear. My face changed drastically, "Monkey, I have something to do, go and meet His Highness Nobunaga first. Your Highness may be about to call everyone to a meeting later, so don't drink too much."

The monkey, who was in an excited state, looked at us immediately packed up and was about to leave. He held the roast chicken in his left hand and held the wine pot in his right hand and asked with a red face, "What's the matter, so urgent?"

‘Donghai.’ I said to the half-drunk monkey and took people to rush to the city of Daoye Mountain.

After the notice, he entered Tianshou Pavilion and took two steps at a time. When he saw Oda Nobunaga, he immediately reported, "Your Highness Nobunaga, there are signs of instability in the Imakawa family in the East China Sea."

‘Oh?’ Nobunaga Oda was also a little surprised, ‘Tell me, what signs of instability are there.’

‘That’s it.’ I explained, ‘A few days ago, my whale house had a batch of New Year’s goods to be delivered to Kanto for sale. Because of the large number, I sent a few careful subordinates to follow him. (It’s a ninja.) I didn’t expect that when I entered Sanhe, I found that peasant soldiers were gathering on a large scale. It was not a big deal to gather peasant soldiers in this season, but when I arrived at the junction of Yuanjiang and Sanhe, I found that the peasant soldiers in Yuanjiang were gathering on the border. And I heard that Junhe, Yuanjiang, and Sanhe were recruiting wild samurai to create weapons and armor. A posture of going to war. My subordinates became sceptical and looked back into Minghai City and found that they were already drinking porridge there.’

‘Drink porridge.’ Oda Nobunaga played with the fan easily. ‘Minamichi Castle started drinking porridge three months ago.’

‘Your Highness, this time Minghai City is drinking meat porridge.’ Although it was a bit disgusting, I hesitated and said.

Oda Nobunaga's face also became heavy, 'If Naruto Castle has no food, Imakawa's family will work hard. If you don't come this year, you will come next year. What do you think?'

'Your Highness is wise and magical, and my subordinates also think so. Although the farmers and soldiers of the Imakawa family have not yet gathered, it is certain that they will definitely come when the farmers and soldiers are trained. It has not been a year or two since the Imakawa family wants to expand their power to Ohachi. The bridgehead of the Imakawa family will definitely not give up easily.'

Nobunaga nodded, "Did you think of a solution when you know the news first? The Imakawa family gathered about 30,000 peasant soldiers. Now that the family has gathered only 20,000 peasant soldiers, they have to deploy defenses from all sides. In comparison, the Imakawa family and Hojo in the east, the Takeda family have formed an alliance, and it is enough to leave a small amount of troops."

I don't have much to do with whether Imakawa Yoshimoto started a war in advance, and whether he could still kill him in the bucket. It seems that this is the so-called butterfly effect, but there are still ways. 'Your Highness, since ancient times, he has said that he should take the initiative and then take control of others. The enemy is strong and I am weak. Only by mastering the first move can he have a chance to turn the tables. I suggest sending a cavalry to attack the East China Sea first under the leadership of a cautious general. There is no need to have a large number of people. It is mainly to destroy traffic, burn houses, attack the grain team and the lonely enemy, and disrupt the enemy's deployment. Then we will concentrate our superior forces and take down the isolated and helpless Minghai Castle and Dagao Castle in one fell swoop. In this way, even if the Imakawa family still wants to advance at all costs, they must be no longer energetic.'

Oda Nobunaga immediately summoned the retainers to meet and sent Longchuan Yiyi to the Donghai to verify the news. After a long time of the meeting, he still couldn't find a retainer with fearless spirit of sacrifice and led his troops to the Donghai to die. Oda Nobunaga had to use his trump card - the promotion of the front line. 'After the completion of the mission to harassment, the official position will be promoted to another level and the fief of Qianshi.'

The monkey had already flushed with his face. When he heard that the person who had been promoted and made a fortune was right in front of him, he immediately jumped out and said, "Your Highness, his subordinate, Fuji Yoshiro Kishita, is not talented, and is willing to attack the enemy behind the enemy." The monkey had no choice. Although he had just been promoted to the general of the qiu, but with his current qualifications, the position of the city lord of the city was probably a mirror. From the rise of the Kudo family like a rocket, you can see the military achievements of not killing the general and seizing the flag. Everything is fake.

After the monkey jumped out, it immediately caused a strong backlash from the Ozawa rich faction. Shibata Katsuya stood up and said, "There are only a dozen people in Fujikoro, no, and your father-in-law's family has only a dozen people, so you can deliver vegetables to the Imakawa family. At that time, you will only add a laughing stock to the Imakawa family and lose the face of our Oda family."

The monkey's face turned red, "Your Highness Nobunaga, his subordinate has a friend in Mino. He can pull up three hundred troops and join the Huicun to march into the East China Sea at any time. As long as your Highness nods, he agrees to their ownership of the wastelands in Mino over the years."

Oda Nobunaga also remembered this person, "Koji Hisuka, um, recently there are quite a few files about their stealing. If they can be used by our family, those few thousand stone wastelands are nothing. Go and tell them that as long as you win, everything will be easy. In the future, they will arrange to do things under your hands and restrain them well."
