Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 510 The Grain Controversy, Lao Mo Oda
"Fumo-kun come quickly!" Sanada Yukimura said anxiously after hearing this.

"Last night when I was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate, I overheard that Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu had broken up." Fuma Kotaro said.

"Is there such a thing? I don't know if Brother Fu Mo found out why the two of them broke up?" Sanada Yukimura asked.

"If you heard me right, it seems to be because of food and grass." Fumo Kotaro replied.

"What else can you find out, brother Fumo?" Sanada Yukimura continued to ask.

"The cause of the incident seems to be that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga were fighting for power. Tokugawa Ieyasu gave Hima Yumiya some advice, saying that Oda Nobunaga was passive and slack in the war. After hearing this, Hima Kumiko was furious and immediately ordered Oda Nobunaga to be summoned. Return to the court. But Oda Nobunaga did not want the class teacher to return to the court, Hima Gonghu stopped the food and grass of Oda Nobunaga, so as to force the Oda Nobunaga class teacher to return to the court."

"Not only that, more than half of the soldiers led by Oda Nobunaga are private soldiers of the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga himself was dissatisfied with this, and now Hima Gongfu cut off Oda Nobunaga's food again. It would be strange to be able to attack!" Fuma Kotaro told Sanada Yukimura all the information he found.

"This matter may indeed become a turning point for this campaign, and may even become an opportunity for a counterattack, but whether it is true or not, it is still uncertain at the moment, and it is not too late for us to wait and make plans." Sanada Yukimura said.

"I have already sent my brothers to infiltrate the Goonu Country to find out, whether it is true or not, we will soon come to a conclusion." Fuma Kotaro replied.

……

In a large camp not far from the small town here, Oda Nobunaga and his subordinates gathered together.

Oda Nobunaga sat in the first seat, Honda Tadakatsu and Maeda Koji lined up on the left and right.

Honda Tadakatsu said, "Patriarch, did Hima Gongho send someone to bring food and grass?"

Oda Nobunaga shook his head and said: "I don't know what ecstasy soup the old Tokugawa fox poured into Hima Yumiko, this bastard insisted that we were passive and idle, and said that if he didn't conquer Yamatai, he wouldn't allocate food and grass for a day. If that's the case, then I'll spend a while with him!"

"Even if all the food and grass of the Oda family are exhausted, I will not make these soldiers starve to death!" Oda Nobunaga said while touching his horoscope.

"Patriarch, right now you have a total of 3 horses, and half of them are soldiers of Himi Kumiko. Why don't you just provide food and grass for the family soldiers and ask Himi Kumiko's soldiers to find food to fill their stomachs?" Honda Tadakatsu said. road.

"Confused! You still don't understand my plan? Is food more important, or [-] soldiers?" Oda Nobunaga said angrily.

"I see, this subordinate has been educated! Patriarch, since you are self-reliant, why do you still want to work for Himi Yuki now?" Honda Tadakatsu asked in bewilderment.

"Hey! Honda-kun, your martial prowess ranks second in Wajima, and no one dares to be the first, but when will your brain be more useful! How did I ever say that the attack on Yamatai was for Himiko? "Oda Nobunaga sighed.

"There is an old saying in the Han people, which is called 'Small intolerance leads to great chaos'. Now is not the time to become a king on my own. I took the initiative to invite Ying to attack Yamatai, hoping to use this as a foundation to fight against Hima." Oda Nobu Long explained.

"If that's the case, then why don't our army continue to attack Yamatai? They can't hold out for two days with just that little defense!" Honda Zhongsheng was like a curious baby, constantly raising his own questions.

To describe Tadakatsu Honda in a modern sentence, it is "little question mark, do you have many friends"?
"Why stand still? Don't you understand this point? Hima Yumi cut off food for us. Although this move will consume food and grass in many families, this is also an opportunity. Do you understand?" Oda Nobu Chang said helplessly.

"I don't know." Honda Tadakatsu replied truthfully.

"Idiot! If you are a soldier under the command of Himi, and you go out to fight for him, but your master does not provide you with food and grass, and the food and grass you use are all provided by me. After a long time, will you work for Himi? I risked my life?" Oda Nobunaga said angrily.

"Uh... this..." Tadakatsu Honda needed some time to digest the information.

On the side, Maeda Xingji suddenly realized: "Patriarch, what do you mean, you are waiting for more than 1 soldiers accompanying the army to take orders from you and become soldiers of the Oda family?"

Oda Nobunaga showed a teachable expression: "That's right! That's why I would rather use the family's food and grass to supply the soldiers than retreat. Himi Gonghu and Tokugawa Ieyasu thought they would take It's my chance to win, but it's all in my calculations, this time the two of them are shooting themselves in the foot!"

Both Maeda Xingji and Honda Tadakatsu had expressions of admiration, and then knelt down and said, "This subordinate is willing to assist the Patriarch to achieve success!"

Oda Nobunaga stroked his beard and said: "When all these [-] soldiers obey me, I can return to the kingdom and fight to the death with Hima Kumiko and Tokugawa Ieyasu. , can remain invincible!"

……

Dog slave country, Tokugawa family.

Within the Tokugawa family, two people knelt at the table drinking tea.

The older man picked up a cup of tea, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

This man is about 40 years old, with a mustache and a kimono. He looks ordinary, but his eyes are very sharp.

This person is the powerful minister of the Gonu Kingdom, the head of the Tokugawa family - Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The man on the opposite side was dressed in a ninja suit, with a Japanese island pinned to his waist, and there was no expression on his face.

This person is a ninja who has served the Tokugawa family for generations, Hattori Hanzo, who is known as "the number one ninja in Wajima".

After putting down the teacup, Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "Hattori-kun, did Oda ever retreat?"

Hattori Hanzo replied: "To the Patriarch, Oda has not retreated, but he has not launched an attack either. It seems that he intends to wear it down."

Tokugawa Ieyasu wondered: "Oda never does business at a loss. Calculated by the day, the food and grass allocated by the king should be almost consumed. Why hasn't he retreated for so long?"

Hattori Hanzo replied: "Patriarch, the subordinates can't figure out why."

Ieyasu Tokugawa took a sip of the tea again, and then slowly said: "Send out more ninjas in the family, I want to know what Oda will do again!"

Hattori Hanzo got up and said, "This subordinate takes orders!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."

"How is the training of the new ninjas in the family?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked.

"Patriarch, please rest assured that the three hundred new ninjas have been trained and are ready to perform tasks at any time." Hattori Hanzo replied.

"That's great. Counting these three hundred ninjas, there are already eight hundred ninjas in the family, right?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked.

　One more!
