At dawn, the rain finally stopped. The rising sun shone on the Yoshida-gun Yama Castle Tensou Pavilion, but the corridor from the yard gate porch to the Mori Moon-ji room was still very dim.

"Have you woke up?" asked the legitimate son Takamoto Mori, stepping on the newly laid tatami mat to Mori's house.

"Come in." The voice of Maori Mori Yuki rang inside the house. In fact, Maori Mori, who was fifty-two years old (at this age of an elderly person), has always been accustomed to getting up early, so Maori Takamoto, who knew his father was used to, dared to come and disturb his father at this time.

"My father, this is a letter from the Zhoufangdao Inner Hall that has just sent someone to send him to express his gratitude." After entering the house and giving gifts to Mori Mori, Mori Takamoto immediately presented a sealed letter bag to Mori Mori.

"Huh?" I suddenly received an urgent message from Yoshitaka Ouchi, which surprised Mori Mori a little. Not long ago, at the request of Mori Mori, Yoshitaka Ouchi sent the army of the Ouchi and the army of the Mori family to attack the Kanbian Castle, the Gucheng, which was guarding the Yamama master. The Yamama master's family, Monte Dori Yoshiki, eventually had to flee to Izumo and ask for help from the Niko family.

Unlike historical records, in history, Maori Yuan was invading the country and preparing for China while integrating the family forces. However, after being stimulated by the sudden rise of the Luo family and the alert of Masara's original backfire arrangement in An Yi, Maori Yuan took the risk of arousing the alertness of Yoshitaka Ouchi and formed the Maori family's two-ship system in advance, and then tightened the hierarchical order of the family, from close confidants to genealogy to exoteric to local tyrants, and built a solid feudal family system. Although the method promoted by Maori Yuan was different from the retainer system promoted by Takeda Shingen at home, the so-called different paths were the same. The strict retainer group system provided the basis for the guide of the Maori family.

In recent years, through the marriage between his legitimate son Takamoto Mori and Yoshitaka Ouchi (Nito Yoshimoto's biological woman was adopted by Yoshitaka Ouchi and married Takamoto Mori as his wife), he also gained the trust of Yoshitaka Ouchi through some small means (the last words left to all important retainers before Yoshitaka Ouchi's death: "The Moto of Yoshitaka must be firmly grasped, otherwise it will be unimaginable." At this time, it was forgotten by Yoshitaka Ouchi and others). With the support of Yoshitaka, the Mori quickly infiltrated from the Yoshitaka Ouchi on the north coast of the Seto Inland Sea, and the southern part of China was even still in the Yoshitaka, and the central part of China had a confrontation with the forces of the Niko family.

He quickly opened the urgent letter bag sent by Yoshitaka Ouchi, and then Mori Moon looked at the letter in the bag. After reading the letter, he pondered for a while, then sighed:

"When I was jointly attacking Izumo from the Nizi family, I reminded the Investigation Master to pay close attention to the Luo family Masayoshi. Unfortunately, the Investigation Master was negligent in the end. Now the Luo family is already in power and even joined forces with the Nizi family to deal with our family."

"Ah?" After hearing the news that the Luo family and the Nizi family had joined forces, Takamoto Maori's face changed drastically. Now both the Nizi family and the Luo family are big-name forces that can cause headaches for the Dameni family. Now the two Damen have joined forces to deal with the Dameni family. It is indeed not a good thing for the Maori family, which belongs to the Dameni family. Once the Dameni family is exhausted from fighting the attacks of these two families, they will naturally be unable to divide their troops to support the Maori family in the preparation for the future country and China's strategy. At that time, the Maori family will have to fight against these local forces and the support force of the Nizi family alone.

"It is obviously unwise to confront the Luo family head-on. Perhaps there are some small means to make the Luo family fall into civil strife and allow the Dameni family to have sufficient troops to support the family's direction. This is the most beneficial to the family." Maorimoto suddenly said, obviously he had thought of some ways to deal with the Luo family.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, ink and paper to write a letter, and ordered someone to rush to send it to the hand of Yoshitaka Ouchi of the Zhou Fangda Inner Pavilion, and then said to his legitimate son Takamoto Mori:

"Go and invite the warrior who was intercepted a few days ago. Whether the success or failure of this plan depends on him."

...

"This is the thing called Masayogua melon? It tastes really good!" Just when Mao Rimoto was thinking about the Luo family, in front of a fire in a woods west of the Gojo River in Qingzhou City, Ohara Guo, a young man who looked about fifteen years old was holding a scorched sweet potato in one hand and touched his lips, which had become dark because he ate the scorched sweet potato skin with the other, and exclaimed loudly.

This young man naturally almost unified the Japanese Oda Kojiro Suki Nobunaga. A few years ago, he deliberately set fire at the city of Kiyoshisuke Oda Hitoro Nobunaga, which made him very angry. So after extinguishing the fire, he immediately raised an army to attack the Kunto Castle where Oda Nobunaga was located. The latter simply destroyed the Oda Hitoro Nobunaga's clan in the next two years. The city of Kiyoshisu, which originally fell into Oda Nobunaga's hands nearly ten years later, has now fallen into Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobunaga's father.

It is estimated that Oda Nobunaga was indeed not in line with Oda Hitoro Nobuo. Historically, after Nobunaga's death, Nobunaga succeeded him. Nobunaga supported Nobunaga's successor to the position of the family governor and opposed Nobunaga's murder plan. However, Ohashi Guardian Swara Yoshito, who had long been regarded as a puppet regime, informed Nobunaga's murder plan to inform Nobunaga in advance. Nobunaga's angry nobunaga took advantage of Yoshito and his legitimate son Swara Yoshitomi to lead troops to hunt in the river (Kawahun or Kawarahun). Therefore, Swara Yoshitomi and his brothers Muri Hidera, Tsugawa Yoshitomi Yoshitomi fled to Nobunaga's place for protection. Nobunaga listed Nobunaga as a rebel who killed Yoshitomi and ordered his uncle Oda Nobunaga (Maoyama Castle Lord) to kill Nobunaga.

So the guardian of Odashishi, the Odashi family of the Odashi family was destroyed, and Nobunaga, the Odashi family, became the leader of the Odashi family. Since then, Nobunaga embarked on the road of unifying Odashi (and Nobunaga and the lord of the Inuyama Castle in the Battle of Funo, and defeated Yodashi Nobunaga, the guardian of Odashi family of the Odashi family of the Odashi family in the Battle of Funono and exiled him. The Spo Yiyin and the Ishihashi family of the Spo family, who were established as the new puppet guardian, plotted to attack Nobunaga, and Nobunaga, who was both Ashigashi family of the Ashigashi family, and Nobunaga, who noticed the matter, exiled Yodashi to Kyoto, where the Ashigashi general of the Spo family, were located. Since then, Ohashi has been unified).

However, the above are all historical records. Now Oda Nobunaga has triggered a conflict between Nobuo Oda Hirogoro and his father Nobuho Oda, and then destroyed Nobuo Oda Hirogoro in advance. Ohara's guardian Sebayama became a puppet of Nobuho Oda. In this way, at least after Oda Nobunaga inherited the family governor, he would have suffered much less resistance when quelling the civil strife at home and unifying Ohara.

However, Oda Nobunaga was also criticized by some retainers for setting fires at the city of Kiyosu, but these criticisms were blocked by Oda Nobuhide (it is estimated that Oda Nobuhide had been thinking about how to attack the city of Kiyosu. This move by his legitimate son Nobunaga just gave him confidence in decision making and excuses to attack). Of course, even with Oda Nobuhide as a shield, Oda Nobunaga became increasingly inappropriate as the heir to the family governor in the eyes of some retainers. Therefore, the call for the deposed Nagata to become a young master again.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga seemed to be completely careless about such things. Since the family obtained the Kiyosu Castle, he often rode horses from his fiefdom, Kuno Castle, and then rode a horse to inspect the market opened under the Kiyosu Castle in a big way. Today, he accidentally bought a few divine melons from Kyushu in the hands of a vendor, so he took his entourage to the woods by the nearby river to roast the divine melons.

"By the way, this guy called Kyushu Eagle is really amazing. He actually planted such a delicious thing in the territory. How great would it be if my family could also plant these things in the territory." Oda Nobunaga picked up the last divine melon and ate it in big mouthfuls. At the same time, he did not forget to give some comments.

Chiyo (Maeda Takiko) who was eating half a divine melon in a small mouthful, muttered in his heart: "There are so easy to plant such delicacies. Even if the lord is willing, it will start slowly. The leaders will not be willing to plant crops that they have never seen before. After all, it is a matter of survival whether they can eat enough. Besides, I don't know how to plant these delicacies. The vendor only knows that these Masayo melons are delicious, but I don't know how to plant them?"

During this period, although a small number of sweet potatoes unique to the Luo Family territory had begun to flow out to all parts of Japan, the gangs in other regions did not know how to grow these sweet potatoes.

In fact, both sweet potatoes themselves and the roots of sweet potatoes can be planted. The general planting method is to first plant a small part of sweet potatoes as seeds into the ground, and after these seeds have good roots and vines, then they will continue to cut out these rhizomes as seeds and insert them into the soil to grow new sweet potato seedlings. And so on, the scale of sweet potato planting is continuously expanded through rhizomes and vines.

However, after people of this period, after getting sweet potatoes, they ate them as delicacies (even the outer skin of sweet potatoes, as well as the roots and vines that can be used as dishes), so naturally they did not have the chance to discover the characteristic that sweet potatoes can be planted through rhizomes and vines. This characteristic was finally discovered by the people of the world after the Luo family became the overlord. Before this, they only knew that to grow more sweet potatoes, they could only bury sweet potatoes as seeds into the soil to grow.

"Inuchiyo, do you think that Kyushu eagle is really as powerful as that vendor said? It is said that they are now the overlord of Kyushu." Oda Nobunaga continued to ask.

"This? The villain doesn't know?" Hearing the young master talking to him, Chiyo Maeda's inward quickly put down the sweet potato in his hand a little reluctantly, and then bowed and said.

But Nobunaga threw the sweet potato that he had only eaten half at this time, then sat down and said, "Don't just think about the delicious food in your hands. Bastard! I said, what would happen if it were you? What would happen to rescue my brother Nobuhiro."

"He fell into the opponent!" Nobunaga gritted his teeth again. He changed the problem in an instant, as if he was deliberately teasing the other party, so that he could laugh at the other party. This way of speaking was indeed unique to Nobunaga.

When Anxiang Castle was lost, Zen Master Xuesai from Ueno Castle sent an envoy to negotiate with Nobuhiro Oda, and finally exchanged the matter of Takechiyo (that is, Tokugawa Ieyasu) returning to Toroe. Maeda Inuchi was naturally very clear. But isn't this matter over? Takechiyo probably has arrived at the Shinfu Castle of Toroe Imakawa family at this time, so what else can I say? Besides, such a thing is not something that he, a small servant, can discuss! So he immediately said:

"Young Master, the villain is just a martial artist who serves the young master, and he does not understand literature and theory. He has always been the first and then martial artists. If martial artists are superior to literature, then the family will be in chaos. Although it is the order of the young master, if we distort right and wrong, we will never obey. Therefore, the villain cannot answer such questions."

"Hahaha, you guy." Nobunaga laughed at him, then he looked sharp and said in a low voice, "Nobuhiro and Takechiyo's abilities are incomparable. Nobuhiro has been persuaded by the enemy and has become a traitor. He still doesn't know that he has been in the enemy's trap. Although Takechiyo is still a child, he has a courage to be fearless in the face of danger. As a hostage, he insists that he is a general. If he is asked to go back, it would be no different from the tiger's return to the mountain. Even if he does not exchange hostages this time, Nobuhiro would not be killed. Because killing him would be useless. Imakawa will definitely let him survive so that it can be used in due course. The cards in their hands are very different from those in our hands."

When discussing with the Oda family Imakawa family, Nobunaga did not agree to exchange Take Chiyo for the exchange back to Nobuhiro. In his opinion, if the Imakawa family wanted to kill Nobuhiro, Ohashi would kill Take Chiyo. Once Take Chiyo died, Okazaki would scatter birds and beasts. Once they disperse, the Imakawa family would lose their combat effectiveness. So it is certain that Imakawa would not kill Nobuhiro. If the negotiations cannot be conducted on an equal footing, Ohashi would be at a disadvantage at the beginning and be passive in everything. However, at this time, Nobunaga's status in the family was not enough to attract the attention of others, so his father did not agree with his opinion, and even scolded Nobunaga for being too cold-blooded and ignoring his brother's life and death.

"Disregarding the life and death of brothers? This sentence comes from the mouth of his father who has put his guardian into a puppet, which is really ridiculous." Nobunaga said to himself. For a moment, the position of the family governor, which he originally thought was dispensable, now seems to have a certain effect.

"The position of the family governor will only belong to me, Oda Nobunaga. No one can take it away!" Thinking of this, Nobunaga shouted ruthlessly in his heart.

"Let's go, Inuchiyo, don't forget to bring the Masayogurt that I just threw at you. I haven't finished eating it yet." After saying that, Nobunaga took the first horse on the side, pulled the reins, turned his head and headed towards the direction of the Kuno Castle.
