Chapter 355 14. Nobunaga Slightly Changes the Old Color

"Please wait here." However, Morinaga, who was in his early teens, was the head of Nobunaga's junior officers.

"Here?" Xiao Pingtai suddenly felt very different. This place was in the corridor outside.

It was a common rule for ministers and envoys to wait for the call in the corridor, but Nobunaga had no such rule before. He himself was not a person who valued etiquette and rules. It could even be said that he existed to break etiquette and rules.

Why did he arrange Xiao Pingtai to sit in the corridor and wait for the call?

Oda Nobunaga, you have changed!

"Send a message to Yamanouchi stable Shinshu no Kami." A very childish voice came from the room. It should be a favored junior who sent a message to Xiao Pingtai on behalf of Oda Nobunaga.

Xiao Pingtai heard the voice and immediately straightened the folded black hat on his head, held up the long hakama with both hands, took a deep breath, and looked solemn and serious.

"Greetings to His Highness Owari, I wish His Highness a long military career for billions of years." Kobayata knelt down respectfully, his face touching the ground, doing it meticulously, without any impoliteness.

"Give my regards to Yamanouchi stablemaster and Prime Minister Yamanouchi, get up." Nobunaga's familiar voice came over.

Kobayata raised his head and looked at Oda Nobunaga who was sitting high in front of him. It seemed that he had taken off all the restlessness of his youth, with two beards on his lips and his braids combed meticulously. He was no longer casually dressed, and he also wore long hakama.

The original cynical look on his face turned into a firmness that looked down on the heroes, and there was an elusive momentum between his eyebrows, perhaps the so-called kingly aura.

Less close and ordinary at the beginning, more majestic and extraordinary now. Perhaps this is the legendary posture of a hero. In Kobayata's opinion, this momentum is only slightly worse than Uesugi Terutora, and is not much inferior to Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu, or even better.

"What is the matter that Yamanouchi stablesman sent you here for?" Oda Nobunaga said seriously, but secretly winked at Koyata and signaled Koyata.

Koyata nodded slightly, and almost stretched out his hand to make an OKK gesture. It turns out that you haven't changed, Gouzi, I misunderstood you.

"My lord Yamanouchi stablesman ordered me to come and congratulate His Highness Owari on conquering Nakanou and Tono, and entrusted me to present the gift." Koyata was relieved and told the superficial reason for this visit.

The Oda family attendants outside the house gently opened the screen door, and two people came in with brocade boxes in their hands. They were two silver-clad swords worth hundreds of kan. Then two more attendants led the Shinano horse to the courtyard outside the corridor for Oda Nobunaga to look at.

But Oda Nobunaga didn't even look at it, waved his hand to show that he knew, and asked people to put it away and leave.

"Tanzheng, did the stable master send you here to present a gift?" The one who spoke was Shibata Katsuie, an old acquaintance. Kobayata had a "life-saving grace" to him, so his attitude was quite close.

"It's nothing else, just to make peace." Kobayata did come to improve the relationship between the Yamanouchi clan and the Oda clan, and he did not say anything about establishing an alliance or even mutual assistance in military affairs.

"Well, the stable master's good intentions, I, the Oda clan, already know." Oda Nobunaga estimated that Kobayata could not say anything private in such a formal occasion.

"Everyone, please leave." Nobunaga clapped his hands and asked all the Oda clan retainers present to leave and go back to work.

...

Kobayata also pretended to have finished his report and left the room. Then the old acquaintance Maeda Toshiie came over in person to guide Kobayata.

"Has Mazu already served as the mother's clothes writer? This time, I'll have to trouble you two to be accommodating when I enter the city." Kobayata relaxed when he saw that there were no outsiders, and chatted with Maeda Toshiie.

"It's just a small favor, Osomatsu will definitely be happy with it." Maeda Toshiie was happy when talking about his wife.

"Did the Owari-dono Mino attack go smoothly? I heard that Tono has been completely subdued, and most of the Nakano has also been settled?"

"Yes, the two Toyama Lords of Tono are your uncles. After defeating the Inabayama Lord, the two Lords have turned to our side. As for the Nakano attack, it is also going very smoothly." Maeda Toshiie sorted out his thoughts a little.

"What about Nishino?" Kobayata tried to probe.

"Tokichiro has made some progress. It is said that there are people in Nishino who are willing to join us."

Hideyoshi is really amazing. He has not been in Mogu for a year, but he has already won over the Nishi Mino people. Although it has just started to work, this effort is also very good.

I just don't know which idiot he is. It should not be the so-called Nishi Mino Three. Inaba Ikitetsu, Ujiie Bokuzen, and Ando Morinaga, the three great lords, must still be waiting for a price. After all, Inabayama is a world-famous city, and even Oda Nobunaga cannot capture it immediately.

As long as Inabayama does not fall, the price of the three of them will increase. It is not so easy to make them betray their master and surrender to the enemy without a satisfactory price.

…

"Koheita, there is no one else now, just tell me what you want, the stableman." Nobunaga not only took off his formal dress, but also did not even put on his outer coat, and casually put on an inner coat.

"The stableman really wants to make friends with His Highness. I hope that after His Highness captures Mino, there will be no friction between the two countries on the Shinano border." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu only requested this. He wanted to beat Takeda Harunobu and could not have another enemy in Mino.

"Here, Aquan, get paper and pen." Nobunaga did not think much and immediately wrote a letter.

His current target is Inabayama, and he does not want to have another enemy in the eastern Mino area. So there is no need to think too much. Both sides have their own strategic goals, and maintaining temporary peace is the common wish of both sides.

"How is the battle between the stable and the Takeda?" "There is no winner, and both sides have gained something."

Nobunaga was also concerned about the war between Kaido and Kaido. He must have hoped that Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu and Takeda Harunobu would fight each other for the rest of their lives and die in the mountains of Shinano.

"No one is victorious? I heard that Kasugayama Kanrei has sent troops to Kanto again?" Nobunaga continued to ask.

"The Echigo riot a month ago has been quelled, fortunately, and His Highness Kanrei must have been besieging Kawagoe Castle." Kobayata answered truthfully. Takeda Harunobu's mediation skills are amazing and worth mentioning.

"So the stable and Kanrei still can't defeat Kai Daizen in one battle?" Nobunaga stroked his two small mustaches.

"It's still hard to say."

"I heard that you are getting married?" Nobunaga was just talking about political affairs with Kobayata, and he didn't expect to suddenly jump to this matter.

"Ah? ~ Yes, yes, two months later." "Hahahaha, it's a pity that we can't drink a glass of your wedding wine."

Nobunaga looked at Kobayata with embarrassment and laughed out loud, and even applauded.

"Don't laugh, Your Highness."

Not only did Nobunaga continue to laugh, he also showed off by ordering people to bring all his children up, including the future Oda Nobutada, Nobutaka, Nobuo, Hashiba Hidekatsu, and Gotokuhime.
