Chapter 379 Utility

 In the Meinong strategy, is the battle over which one should attack first, East and West Meinong?

No, the battle is whether to take a break or continue the expedition.

Niwa Nagahide was in charge of general affairs, and the long-term war emptied the Oda family's fortune.

With so much support, some retainers have become extremely dissatisfied, and what they want is to recuperate.

Niwa Nagahide saw this hidden danger and always wanted to advise Oda Nobunaga, but could not find the opportunity.

And Shibata Katsuie represents the military commander faction who was very greedy for the annexation of the four Owari counties. They were so greedy that they wanted more benefits.

According to Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, she agreed with Shibata Katsuie.

If the family's wealth is exhausted, it will be emptied; if the retainers are dissatisfied, they will be dissatisfied.

These are troubled times, and only by constantly devouring land and population is the right choice and the path to the world.

If someone can't keep up, get out. If you want to be a member of the world, you have to be tolerant of the world.

As long as it is useful to me, no matter who or where I am, I can use it and dare to use it.

As for those retainers who have objections.

As the Oda family grows stronger and continues to provide benefits, their dissatisfaction will disappear and they will happily be my dogs.

As long as they are given enough benefits, the Wu family is the most useful eagle dog. For the few stubborn guys, they can choose to die.

Oda Nobunaga did not make a clear stance because Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words indeed aroused her doubts.

Owari and Mino are about the same national strength. Can we conquer Mino by following Shibata Katsuie's strategy?

Komakiyama Castle will definitely be moved, but Owari has just been unified, and many things have not gone smoothly yet.

She didn't plan to start the Meinong strategy right away. She had to wait until after summer and still have time to think about countermeasures.

Oda Nobunaga is very realistic.

If Shibata Katsuie wants to fight, you can. Give the soldiers food, and Inuyama Castle will be available to you.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi wants to perform, no problem. As long as you think of a good way, I will support you.

It doesn’t matter who I use in the Mino strategy, I, Oda Nobunaga, just want to win.

Whoever can give me victory, I will support, reward, and prosper.

As for Niwa Nagahide, this is a good butler, so don't get into trouble.

Oda Nobunaga took advantage of Niwa Nagahide's behavior and suppressed the possibility of conflict.

Because she was radical in her work, there were many different opinions among the retainers, so Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide must not be allowed to have a dispute.

That would cause the retainers to choose sides and bring out the hidden conflicts.

The power of the Oda family expanded too fast, and there was no harmony within the family.

Either run with peace of mind and use several generations to stabilize the foundation. Or expand the territory and use more benefits to buy off the military families under your command.

She sat down slowly, her eyes sharp and shining with an unknown light.

She is a woman who wants to become a world leader, how can she stop here.

———

Lord Tenshu, Kinoshita Hideyoshi followed Niwa Nagahide out with his head downcast, being lectured to the point where he was unable to refute.

With her background, being able to participate in the Grand Council was already an act of kindness from the Lord, and she was lucky enough not to be dragged out and beheaded despite her arrogant remarks during the review.

As for conquering the battle between East and West Meinong, she is a p.

Shibata Katsuie would never think that Kinoshita Hideyoshi had the courage to step in to disgrace her, and would only blame Niwa Nagahide for this.

Niwa Nagahide is a close descendant of Oda Nobunaga. He has been a member of the wild boy group that he has followed since he was a child. He has great kindness.

Shibata Katsuie knew that he was from Erchen, and he once rebelled with Oda Nobuyuki.

Although the master is generous and entrusts her with important responsibilities, the distance and distance in his heart are definitely not as good as Niwa's.

Niwa Nagahide also did not want to offend Shibata Katsuie, who was the standing army general left by his predecessor Oda Nobuhide and the chief military officer of the Oda family.

She has such a strong foundation in the army that even the Lord ignores her rebellious behavior and continues to re-employ her, so there is no need to offend her.

But Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words touched Niwa Nagahide's heart. The master was too heavy on conquests, and the family fortune could no longer support her ambitions.

Now that someone has made the move, she is ready to support him. This is also for the long-term peace and stability of the Oda family and her loyalty to His Highness.

Who knew that Oda Nobunaga knew her so well that he knew what she was going to do with just a twitch of his eyebrows, but a nonsense interrupted her speech.

Both Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Nagahide knew that Oda Nobunaga did not want them to go into confrontation.

This time it was just a cover-up. If anyone starts talking again and betrays her good intentions, she will take severe revenge from her later.

Oda Nobunaga was indeed an ambitious hero, but she also had a vengeful character and did not allow anyone to disobey her.

Therefore, Shibata Katsuie did not continue to beat Kinoshita Hideyoshi and turned around and left.

However, Niwa Nagahide caught the troublemaker under his command and repeatedly warned her to prevent her from seeing the situation clearly, speaking randomly again, and losing her life.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was talked about by her all the time, with a sad face.

Her background was too low, and although she was smart and eager to learn, military strategy was not a self-taught subject.

Ji warriors can start practicing martial arts as soon as they can stand up. Some warriors from some families also need to learn clerical writing, arithmetic, military strategy, and territory management.

When you reach the age of ten, you will have to fight for the first time and kill people until you grow up.

How could a servant like Kinoshita Hideyoshi be compared? Even if she wanted to learn, who would teach a young man military strategy who used his chest to warm his master's shoes?

She can’t even read a map, and she can’t even set up a camp. Fighting? A bloody war!

Shibata Katsuie's anger was not unreasonable. How could she bear it when a laywoman pointed her nose at her and said she had made a strategic mistake?

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was able to survive today because Oda Nobunaga was moved by her words that Owari and Mino were so powerful that a frontal attack could not succeed.

Otherwise, she would have had her monkey head chopped off and thrown to the dogs, so she would not have the head to listen to Niwa Nagahide's nagging.

At this time, she did not give up. She listened respectfully on her face, but in her heart she was thinking about going back to find a map.

Let's see which city in Nishi-Owari is suitable for training troops and collecting food, and can become the logistics location for the attack on Nishi-Mino.

The two of them just walked out of the castle tower and met Maeda Toshiie head-on.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi bowed in surprise and greeted.

"Mr. Maeda, how are you doing? Why are you here?"

Maeda Toshiie greeted Niwa Nagahide, and then nodded to Kinoshita Hideyoshi as a greeting.

The two of them were members of the wild child group who grew up with Nobunaga. Hideyoshi was Nobunaga's younger brother, so they were no strangers.

It was only that Maeda Toshiie devoted himself to serving Shiba Yiyin and was hated by Oda Nobunaga, so he was left to eat ashes in the Okezama area and rarely came to Qingsu Castle.

Niwa Nagahide had a good relationship with her and expressed concern.

"Li Jiaji, why are you here?

If there is nothing important, don’t disturb His Highness today. She is not in a good mood, and I am afraid she wants to show off to you."

Maeda Toshiie shook his head and said.

"I'm here to serve a summons from the governor."

Niwa Nagahide was curious. Shiba Yoshigan had been away from Owari for a long time, and he was prospering in recent times. What else could he discuss with his master?

But she didn't ask questions. The two family governors were negotiating, so it was not inconvenient for her to ask. If it was really important, His Highness would have given instructions afterwards, so there was no rush.

The two of them had stopped talking, but Kinoshita Hideyoshi on the side eagerly asked about something he cared about.

"Master Maeda, may I ask Nishi Owari if there is a garrison point that is convenient for conquering Nishi Mino?"

Maeda Toshiie is generous and kind to others. Everyone in the Oda family has a good relationship with her, and even small people like Kinoshita Hideyoshi are willing to deal with her.

She was brave in battle and had outstanding military skills. Now that she happened to meet her, Kinoshita Hideyoshi asked regardless of the inappropriate time and place.

She really couldn't find any warriors she could ask, and Maeda Toshiie happened to be the most powerful warrior she could come into contact with.

Maeda Toshiie was stunned and glanced at Niwa Nagahide. Niwa lowered his head and did not answer. She knew that this matter must involve the Oda family's comments.

She is now the acting official of the Shiba family, and it is really inappropriate for Niwa Nagahide to talk to her too much.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi could be humble and rude, but an important minister like Niwa Nagahide had to be cautious in his words and deeds.

But by not speaking, she just acquiesced, hoping that she could help Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
