different warring states of japan

Chapter 25 Persuasion
Maeda Toshiie got Nobunaga's order and hurried back to Huangzi City overnight.

I saw the bright lights inside and outside the city, the noise was endless, the whole city was mobilizing, and I didn't dare to waste time, and went straight to the mansion of my mother Maeda Toshishang.

"Master, the Li family is back."

In the middle of the night, Li Chang didn't take a break either, and was sitting indoors, wondering what he was thinking.Interrupted by Lijia's call, he regained his senses.

"Li's family is back, people, it's easy to get distracted when you're old."

"Mother, please send troops to help His Highness Oda Nobunaga!"

Lijia knew that the time was urgent, so he didn't talk too much, a Tuxia seat begged.

"The Li family, the Maeda family are the retainers of the Lin family. The retainers of the retainers are not the retainers. Do you understand?"

Li Chang looked seriously at Li Jia who was lying on the ground, and said.

The relationship between lords in the feudal era was very complicated.The lord bestows Zhixing territory to his direct ministers to form a subordinate contract of reward for the public, and the direct minister bestows Zhixing territory to his retainers to form a subordinate contract again.

So is there any relationship between the direct minister's retainer and the lord?No, they are only loyal to their immediate lords.

The Maeda family belonged to the Lin family. If the Lin family wanted to fight Oda Nobunaga, the Maeda family followed.Maeda Toshiie is a direct minister of Oda Nobunaga, so let's fight each other on the battlefield.

This is the cruel reality, the rules of the samurai family.

"Rijiu has already brought Nakhime and Ashgaru to join Lord Lin Xiuzhen, and now the city is just gathering farmers and soldiers to prepare for the follow-up food and military equipment."

"How come so fast?"

Li Jia was surprised.

Li Chang laughed.

"I just recalled the years of fierce battles with His Highness Oda Nobuhide. It is really nostalgic. His Highness Nobunaga looked down on us old people too much.

I can see through her thoughts, let alone Shibata-sama.They were all rolled out of the pile of dead people. If there was no such vigilance, Shibata-sama would have died long ago. "

Sighing, Li Chang continued to talk to the Li family.

"The Oda family has been unstable for too long because of the position of the governor, if it can be resolved quickly this time, it will not be a bad thing for the Oda family.

It doesn't matter who is in charge, as long as the family can settle down, it's good. "

Li Jia stood up abruptly and looked directly at Li Chang.

"It's different! His Highness Nobunaga is completely different from His Highness Nobuyuki! Although His Highness Nobunaga has a weird temper, he is ruthless in his actions.

But she is a Ji warrior with ideals and aspirations, and she is daring, and the Oda family will definitely be able to make a career by following her.

His Highness Nobuyuki is indecisive and has a weak personality.

Mother, General Ashikaga can't even resist the invasion of Miyoshi's family, the world is already in chaos!Can Nobuyuki protect the Oda family in this troubled world?

Not to mention the distance, Kamiowari Oda Nobuya who is close at hand, Mino's Saito Yoshiryu, can she resist! "

Li Chang shook his head.

"It's useless to say these things. Master Shibata has already seen through His Highness Nobunaga's strategy. Under the rush of troops, Qingzhou City cannot be defended."

Li Jia looked at his mother squarely and said.

"Qingzhou City has not yet fallen. After succeeding as the governor of the family, Lord Nobunaga searched and led the soldiers to raise soldiers. All the horses and warriors have a salary of more than [-] guan and are highly skilled in martial arts. There are [-] warriors.

I am Mu Yizhong's pen head, these Ji warriors are skilled in bows and horses, and have elite soldiers, and they are raised more than [-] pieces a year.

Ma Huizhong's writer Ikeda Hengxing is His Highness Nobunaga's milk sister, loyal and will definitely fight until the last one.

His Highness also has a reserve team of two adults, Mori Kecheng and Kawajiri Hidetaka, who practice day and night and prepare for the battle all year round.

The two men have made great military exploits, and they are both from the Mino samurai family.Although Shibata-sama is the chief general in his family, the Mino faction of the Owari faction in the army has always disliked each other, and it is impossible for them to subdue Shibata-sama.

No matter how good the plan is, in the end the battle will be better than the soldiers.

His Royal Highness Nobunaga has spent a long time fighting hard, how can it be compared with the mediocrity of faith and deeds!

Mother, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, how can you conclude that His Highness Nobunaga will definitely lose! "

Maeda Toshishang was speechless by the Toshi family, there is no certainty about what happened on the battlefield.

"That is also His Royal Highness Nobuyuki's chance of winning."

In the end, Li Chang could only hold back a word coldly.

"Mother, what if His Highness Nobunaga wins?"

"This.."

"His Royal Highness Nobunaga has a surly character, and he will take revenge. Lord Katsuie Shibata is a veteran general in the army, and Lord Lin Xiuzhen is a writer from his hometown, and they are not easy to touch.

But rebellious things always have to be used as an example to others!Can His Highness's personality let go of the Maeda family who are closely following the Lin family! "

Lichang finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and walked around the room.

"This... closely following the master's house is the rule of the Wu family..."

"His Highness Nobunaga is a man of rules! I assure you, His Highness has been preparing for this battle since he succeeded, and the chances of winning are definitely not small."

"Ke Lijiu has set off with his troops, and the Maeda family has no choice."

Li Chang said in frustration that if she had heard Li's analysis earlier, she might have chosen to procrastinate, but it was too late now.

"It's not too late! The Maeda family still has room to maneuver!"

Li Jia stared at his mother sharply.

"Mother, farmers and soldiers are gathering in the city right now. You can take them to help His Highness Nobunaga. Only in this way will the Maeda family not be held accountable after His Highness wins."

"But what if His Highness Xinxing wins?"

"Then ask mother to retire. Eldest sister is the young lord, and mother is old and incompetent. Eldest sister's successor as family governor is justified."

Li Jia's words brought Li Chang a new choice, and she was in a state of confusion for a while.

"Didn't I frame Rijiu by doing this..."

"Mother, troubled times have come. This is the fate of the Wu family. In order to continue the family, don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Lee Chang was finally persuaded.

"Lijia, you go back now and express my determination to His Highness Nobunaga, I will lead the team to support Qingzhou City after I have rectified the peasants and soldiers.

Tell His Highness that Shibata-sama has rushed to the pass overnight, please make preparations early. "

Li Jia nodded, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, this is already the best situation she can win for Nobunaga under the current situation.

Not wanting to waste any more time, she turned around and was about to go back, but Li Chang stopped her.

"You treat Lijiu like this, interest will not forgive you."

"Everyone is master, this is the fate of the warrior family, and warrior Ji must have this awareness."

"But Li, it's not like Warrior Ji..."

After speaking, both of them were silent.After a while, Li's family walked out.

"Ahhh..."

Yili touched her nose, and Yiyin glanced at her.

"Don't catch a cold at a time like this."

"Tch, I haven't had a cold since I was a child. Some villain must be scolding me behind my back."

As Li Yi said, he swept across the light feet that were carrying the armaments in front of them. Those who were swept away felt a chill behind their backs, and they had already carried a big pot on their backs inadvertently.

Yiyin on the side complained in his heart, only a fool never catches a cold. .
