Chapter 1556: Grasp the scale and seek to win over
Bai Di San Taifu looked complicated and replied in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, something big has happened.
After Sanada Nobushige-sama forced His Highness Oda back at Oiwa Mountain, he captured all Oda's defeated soldiers who had no time to escape from Mount Oiwa and Oiwa Mountain. There were two to three thousand people, including many Hime samurai."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"I know, I will arrange some military rations for her to use to house the prisoners."
The third wife of Baidi looked bitter.
"Your Majesty, we no longer have enough military rations."
Yiyin's face froze, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"This lawless wild monkey Sanada Nobushige, what did she do again?"
Bai Di San Taifu swallowed, his voice trembling.
"The captured Oda prisoners, whether they were Ashigaru or Hime samurai, were all trapped and killed.
The Sanada people forced them to jump into the ditch of the Oiwa Mountain defense line, and then... filled the soil with them and buried them alive. The scene was filled with cries and it was too tragic to watch."
Yiyin suddenly stood up from his horse, his anger rising straight to the sky.
"Sanada Nobushige! You bastard!"
Not to mention, as a modern person, Yiyin hates the killing of prisoners the most. Even for ancient people, killing prisoners is extremely ominous.
What's more, Yoshigan expressed interest in negotiating peace with Oda Nobunaga, and Sanada Nobunaga's side had killed thousands of prisoners of the Oda family. Those ashigaru were nothing more, the key was the Hime Samurai!
Yiyin calls himself the patron saint of the Wu family, and just now he was instructing his allies' retainers, saying that the population of the Wu family is far less than that of the common people, and they should not be over-exploited.
But his generals wantonly killed Warrior Ji at this time. Isn't this a slap in the face of a benevolent and righteous king?
Moreover, I don’t know if this matter will cause a violent reaction from the Oda Hime Warriors, causing the Battle of Shiba Oda to completely get out of control.
Yoshigan was so angry and anxious that he wished he could fly to Sanada Nobunaga's formation and give her two hard slaps.
The wild monkeys in this mountain never stop for a day. Will she die if she doesn't cause trouble?
Originally, this battle ended successfully, and Sanada Nobushige must be the number one in military merit. If something like this happened, would it be better for Yoshihiro to reward her or punish her? Regardless of reward or punishment, it will have a bad impact.
Sanada Nobushige doesn’t want credit anymore? Is there something wrong with her brain?
Just when Yoshigan was angry, Maeda turned his eyes and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Akechi-hime, aren't you about to go to His Majesty Oda as an envoy to discuss peace between the two families?
Why don't you explain to His Majesty Oda that the killing and surrender was not His Majesty's intention, but that Sanada Nobunaga acted without permission."
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Maeda Koshi and retorted.
"Maeda Hime, we are the victorious side, how can there be any reason for a winner to take the initiative to show kindness to the loser?
Even if the two families want to negotiate a peace, it would be because the Oda family would send envoys to you to plead with you in battle, and there is no reason for my master to send you to join forces, right?"
The Shiba army had just surrendered, and with Oda Nobunaga's surly character, it was uncertain how he would react.
Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't go to the Oda formation at this time. If his head was chopped off, he would die unjustly.
Maeda Yoshida also knew that Mitsuhide Akechi would not go, but he just used this to ridicule her for being impure.
Yiyin was already very angry at this time. Seeing that the two important ministers under his command were still refusing to calm down and were making sarcastic remarks to each other, he suddenly became furious and cursed.
"Get out of here! Get out of here all of them! No one or two of them will make you worry!"
Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Yoshida bowed and confessed, but they were kicked out of the camp by the furious Yoshigami. They said goodbye with hypocrisy and went their separate ways.
Both of them were a little puzzled. Why on earth would Sanada Nobunaga, who was undoubtedly the number one contributor, cause such trouble?
———
Yoshihiro Shiba couldn't figure it out, Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Mitsuru couldn't figure it out either. In fact, Sanada Nobunshige himself couldn't figure it out even more.
At this moment, she was asking Umino Riichi with a grimace.
"Liu Niang? Really killed them all? Killed all the thousands of Oda prisoners?"
Umino Riichi calmly shook his head and said.
"No."
After hearing this, Sanada Nobushige finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Umino Riichi continued.
"There were not thousands, only 2,147 people in total. And they were not killed. They were directly forced to jump down the trench of the Dayan Mountain defense line with knives and guns, and then they were buried with soil."
Sanada Nobushige choked out, his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground, yelling.
"Liu Niang, you have gone too far this time! How could you do such a thing without telling me!"
Umino Riichi looked at Sanada Nobushige strangely and said.
"My lord, you personally gave the order. No one should be left alive on the Big Rock Mountain. How did this become my responsibility?"
Sanada Nobushige's scalp was numb and he was crying.
"I said it out of anger. I couldn't attack the mountain at that time, and my sisters suffered heavy casualties. I was filled with resentment and cursed a few random words. How could I take it seriously?"
Umino glanced at her.
"The Battle of Shigatake ended with 30% of Sanada's troops lost. After Oiwa Mountain was captured, the loss exceeded 50%. Ten thousand of the mountain's sister soldiers came to Kanto with the Lord, and more than 5,000 of them have been lost in the battle.
You conquered Oyan Mountain, and you felt happy and your resentment disappeared. But so many sisters, relatives and friends of the Sanada clan died, how should you vent your resentment?
How many lives of our sisters have been killed by the ditches of the Oiwa Mountain defense line? If you don't kill these Oda prisoners in ditches and pits, how do you plan to calm the anger in the hearts of our sisters?
Jindo Hall only gave us 200 Sibo, but we have 5,000 good sisters who have worked hard and made great achievements. Do you dare to guarantee that you can make a bowl of water even?
As long as there is resentment in everyone's heart, there will inevitably be complaints about unfair rewards.
Instead of venting your anger by killing people, how much food and land do you have that you can use to reward them to appease them? Is it enough for them to vent their grievances?"
Sanada Nobushige was speechless.
This time Sanada's army went into battle, and out of 10,000 men, they lost 5,000, and everyone who remained was wounded. Every family wore mourning. It was a tragic victory.
It is difficult to lead the remnant army. It is actually very difficult for Sanada Nobushige, the boss, to do so. With such brilliant achievements and such tragic losses, this finishing work must be done carefully and carefully.
Gratitude and resentment are two sides of the same coin. If we cannot appease the morale of the soldiers and kindness turns into resentment, how will we live in the future?
Moreover, this matter was indeed the result of Sanada Nobushige himself impulsively shouting the slogan "No one left behind on the Oiwa Mountain", so it must be implemented.
Because military orders on the battlefield are like mountains, and there are no jokes. If Sanada Nobushige breaks her words and talks like farts, who will obey her and take her words seriously in the future?
Therefore, this matter was Sanada Nobunaga's own fault, and she had to bear it with tears in her eyes.
After clarifying the cause and effect, Sanada Nobushige suddenly lost his temper and asked with a grimace.
"Liu Niang, what should we do now?
After killing more than 2,000 prisoners, Jinduodian will definitely be angry. He is a benevolent and righteous king, and he would hate to see such a scandal.
This is not just one or two people, but more than two thousand people. Can my shoulders carry such a huge responsibility?
Even if I resist, I will be finished. He must hate me now, and I will never have the chance to sleep with him again."
Umino Riichi was also speechless. Ever since Sanada Nobushige confessed his love for Tsutado-don to him, he had become increasingly arrogant and dared to say anything.
Sighing, Umino Riichi said.
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe your hope has become greater now."
Sanada Nobunaga was puzzled and asked.
"how do I say this?"
Umino Riichi asked rhetorically.
"If this incident had not happened, would the Sanada people be the best in military merit in this battle?"
Sanada Nobushige nodded.
"Of course, the Sanada people captured Oiwa Mountain and forced Oda Nobunaga back, which can be said to have turned the tide. Who dares to compete with us in military prowess?
He deserves his reputation as the best soldier in the world, and your Majesty must recognize him."
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"Yes, our merits are great, and Tsuta-den will definitely reward you and the Sanada people generously, but that's it.
In Kanto, you offended Okuma Asahide. The Echizen Kingdom divided its troops by boat and came closer, and then defeated Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu fiercely.
Before the Yuwu Lake war started, you and Maeda's interests fought for the main attack again, offending the Shiba family's military leader in several aspects. After this battle, your outstanding achievements still overpowered Maeda's interests.
Although this victory is enough to ensure the prosperity of the Sanada people, for you personally, it has indeed come to an end.
The close generals of Shiba in both areas of Kanto are displeased with you and will be on guard against you in the future. Is it possible for you and Tsudado-don to have a relationship that transcends that of a monarch and a minister?
Tsudoden must also take care of his cronies and his own base. He will not let so many big bosses feel disappointed just for you alone.
The best result is nothing more than treating the Sanada people as useful hawks and dogs, and treating you as a meritorious dog, so that you can serve the public well and serve as a benevolent and benevolent person to your ministers, leaving no one speechless.
As for the opportunity to get closer to the Lord in the future, you are completely out of luck."
Sanada Nobunshi felt unhappy, but after thinking about it over and over again, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Umino Riichi said was reasonable, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"You're right, then why are the opportunities greater now?"
Umino Riichi asked rhetorically.
"What was Tsuta-don's initial intention to set up the United Front Corps at the Kanto Palace? In other words, do you still remember the full name of the United Front Corps?"
Sanada Nobushige thought for a while.
"The warriors who are united around Tsudado-den?"
Umino Riichi glared at her.
"You don't even read your quotations. You are really ignorant. The original intention of the united front is to unite the front around Tsudo-den.
Therefore, as a united front man, the most important thing is to have the value of being a united front man, and it is worth the efforts of Tsudo-don to win over him!"
Sanada Nobushige touched his head.
"Is there a difference?"
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"If you think there is no difference, then just pretend I didn't say anything.
But I have to remind you that judging from the current situation, Oda Nobunaga has a better chance of getting into Tsutado-den's bed than you."
Sanada Nobushige shook his head and said.
"How is this possible?
This time, the Shiba Oda family was beaten to a bloody massacre.
Not to mention the small fights in other directions, in today's battle alone, the Oda family lost at least 20,000 people. On the Tsuta-den side, I lost 5,000 sisters, and the recent coalition forces lost at least 5,000.
With so many people dead on both sides, how could Oda Nobunaga be able to ascend the bed of Tsutado-den?"
Umino Riichi smiled coldly.
"Just because the Oda family can cause so much damage to the Shiba family, just because the Oda family still has the mobilization power to raise another hundred thousand troops.
Oda Nobunaga was valuable enough that she could negotiate terms with Tsutado and even kiss Yoshizawa to establish mutual trust.
Takeda Shingen can do it, Uesugi Kenshin can do it, but Oda Nobunaga can't do it?
Tsutaden has stepped onto the Shinto path, and secular ethics cannot restrict the gods.
Even if Oda Nobunaga gave birth to a child, let alone crawling into Tsuta-den's bed, making the Oda family a descendant of gods, what would be surprising?
There is a cloud in the sky, the bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
In the battle at Kawanakajima, Tsutado-don and Takeda Shingen fought fiercely. Even Takeda Shingen's closest sister died at the hands of Tsutado-don.
But what about now? Everyone in the Takeda family is not proud of Takeda Yoshinobu, the daughter of Tsuta-den, and is obsessed with getting close to the Shiba family."
Sanada Nobushige was suddenly stunned.
"Liu Niang, what you mean is that I shouldn't be too obedient, but should have a bit of a temper and let Jinduo Temple spend more time on me."
Umino Riichi sighed.
"You finally understand.
If you just act like a kung fu dog and the Sanada people just obey their orders, you will never even think about climbing onto the bed of Tsutado-den in your life.
The big bear is showing off, the mountain is prosperous, the island is fierce, those who are interested in Maeda will definitely try their best to stop you, and Tsutado-den will not accept your love in order to appease everyone."
Sanada Nobushige's eyes lit up.
"So I have to find another way and let Jindoden take the initiative to win over me."
Umino Riichi said coldly.
“The land of Ueno to the west, the Kanto Plain to the east, and the Kashin Mountains to the west, is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it a first-rate strategic location.
After this battle, everyone in the world knew that the Sanada soldiers in Nishi Ueno were the best soldiers in the world despite losing 50% of their battle losses. They were still fearless and marched forward without fear of death.
Is Sanada Nobushige worth the effort of Tsutado-don to win over someone who is in a strategic location, has a female soldier in his hand, and can ignore him in a fit of rage and kill thousands of prisoners?"
Sanada Nobushige slapped his thigh.
"Yes, anyway, the three giants of the Guandong Palace and the generals in recent years all dislike me. No matter how hard we try to build a good relationship, it's useless, so let's just stop it.
I am so rebellious that I am even afraid of going crazy. Unless Tsudodon comforts me with his body, I will not listen to anyone else!"
When Umino Ri saw Sanada Nobushige getting carried away again, he couldn't help but slap her on the head.
"Hey, Liu Niang, why did you hit me?"
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"Because you are stupid!
Does Tsutado-don seem to be such a weak person? Oda Nobunaga's three-million-koku daimyo was feared by the world, so Tsutado-don also fought a battle first, and then talked to the Oda family after winning.
Are you looking for death if you want to play rough and arrogant with Tsudo-den?"
Sanada Nobushige rubbed his head and said depressedly.
"Isn't this what you mean, Liu Niang?"
Umino Riichi said coldly.
"I didn't mean it!
Tsudodon is a kind and kind gentleman, you can bully him, but you can't really offend him.
He is invincible and peerless, but his weakness is that he is too soft-hearted.
The Sanada people had just accomplished a great feat, and more than half of them were killed or injured. They were mourning. Even if it was wrong to kill the captives in anger, Tsutado-don would not be able to make up his mind to punish the Sanada people.
When you arrive in front of Tsudo-den, you must accept the situation, cry softly, and never be a little bit unruly.
In the future, Sanada people will eat hot and spicy food, or will they eat chaffy vegetables? Will you be able to get what you want in the future and have a happy relationship?
The most important thing is to grasp the scale and make Tsutama worried, but not angry. In the end, I have no choice but to appease the Sanada people and bother to win over you."
Sanada Nobushige looked embarrassed.
"Now that I have achieved great success and become the best soldier in the world, Oda Nobunaga was so frightened that he ran away when he saw me.
Make me cry in public and act like a little man, don’t I lose face?”
