A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 85 7. Theory of Inao's Ten Wins and Ten Losses

Kobayata was dragged to the shogunate by Nobunaga, and the anxious Nobunaga calmed down. He sat on the stool, and due to the height of the chair, he could not cross his legs, but he still put on a casual and unserious look, and did not speak, just looking.

Kobayata was even less anxious, and he also found a small stool to sit on. Anyway, he was an outsider, and if he was defeated, he would roll up his package and take Aji, and at most deceive the Kinoshita brothers to run away together. Kobayata was not the lord of Owari, so why was he anxious.

So Kobayata sat on the stool calmly, and Nobunaga also sat on the stool without saying a word. The scene was very embarrassing for a while. The point is that there are other people in the shogunate. At first, when they saw Oda Nobunaga pulling Kobayata in, they looked excited and thought that some distinguished guest was coming. Those who have a little bit of insight are ready to be the supporting role for their leader Nobunaga at any time. Background character crowd actors are also a technical job.

But the two people who were lively at the beginning, now no one spoke, smiled at each other, but neither of them took the initiative. And the more the two looked at each other, the more they smiled, and the air seemed to have the sour smell of love.

Aji, who was present next to him, was used to it anyway. Kobayata often pretended to be a timid grandson and would not speak if he could. I don’t know how many military meetings Yamanouchi Yoshiharu and Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu had experienced. As long as he was not named, when would Kobayata speak? Even if he spoke, he would stop at a certain point and try to give others a chance to make additional comments.

Fujikichiro took Kobayata’s package and couldn’t leave or stay. He didn’t dare to move. One group glanced at Nobunaga and the other group glanced at Kobayata, his eyes rolling around, wondering what the two were doing.

Nobunaga’s follower named Aquan and another follower were also used to Nobunaga’s often crazy personality. They pretended that they knew nothing and saw nothing. They leaned on their guns and gently used their feet to poke the weeds on the ground, as if the weeds were fun.

It might have been ten minutes, or maybe twenty minutes. This endurance competition was over. Xiao Pingtai was really thirsty, and he wasn't going to eat the half melon anyway. He should drink some water. Otherwise, after talking a lot and being dragged by Nobunaga for a long time, his throat was about to smoke.

Xiao Pingtai lowered his head slightly, "I lost, Your Highness Kaminarisuke." "Hahahaha, you lost. Ah Quan, go and serve tea." Xiao Pingtai finally returned the half melon to Nobunaga. He drank a large bowl of tea and recovered.

"I guess this A-Quan is Maeda Matazaemon, who is famous for his gun. Now Owari is in rebellion, Shibata Osamu, Hayashi Sado, and Hayashi Mino are all clearly rebelling, the Sakuma Daigaku brothers are unclear about their attitude, and the Hirate clan is far less powerful than the above. Under Kamisuke, only Niwa, Mori, and Maeda can mobilize hundreds of soldiers to join the battle, but considering the relationship between father and son, the result is obvious." Kobayata handed the tea bowl back to Maeda Toshiie, then paused and sorted out his thoughts.

"And your brother Musashi-no-kami has strong soldiers and horses, and the most brave are Shibata Osamu's troops of more than a thousand. The rest of Hayashi Sado, Hayashi Mino and other troops are just in reserve. As long as Shibata Osamu's troops are defeated, the enemy will inevitably be shaken and defeated. So send Maeda to lure Shibata's troops and lure them in, and Kamisuke will surround them on all sides. You always think you can win, right?" Kobayata analyzed with a smile.

"What's your objection, Tan Masatada (Koyata's official title)? Is there anything wrong with this arrangement?" Nobunaga looked like he was asking, "Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing?" "Of course not. In my opinion, Kamisuke has ten wins and Musashi no Kami has ten losses." Koyata waved the bamboo stick in his hand, stood up, and began to perform behind the curtain. "

Oda Nobunaga was even a good audience. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "I'd like to hear more about it."

"Musashi no Kami is a man of many ceremonies, while Kamisuke is natural. This is the first way to win.

Musashi no Kami was rebellious, while Kamisuke was ordered by the lord to be the guardian of Owari. This is the second right.

Since the Onin War, the government has been too lenient. Musashi no Kami used leniency to help leniency, so he was not intimidated. Kamisuke corrected it with severity, and the upper and lower levels knew how to control it. This is the third right to rule.

Musashi-no-Kami was generous on the outside but cautious on the inside. He doubted who he would employ and only appointed senior officials and relatives. Uesugi was simple on the outside but wise on the inside. He had no doubts about who he would employ and only employed people who were suitable for their talents, regardless of distance. This is better than the fourth.

Musashi-no-Kami had many plans but few decisions, and lost his way in the future. Uesugi implemented his plans as soon as he could and was able to adapt to the situation. This is better than the fifth.

Musashi-no-Kami, with his family background, was well-known for his high opinions and courtesy. Many scholars who were good at talking and embellishing themselves were attracted by him. Uesugi treated people with sincerity and acted with sincerity. He did not flatter others. He led his subordinates with frugality and was generous to those who had made contributions. Scholars who were loyal, far-sighted and practical were all willing to serve him. This is better than the sixth.

When Musashi saw people were hungry and cold, his sympathy was reflected on his face. He did not see what he did not consider, which was the so-called woman's kindness. Uesugi was sometimes negligent in dealing with small matters, but when it came to major matters, he was connected to the world and his kindness was beyond his expectations. Although he did not see what he did not see, he considered everything and nothing was left unsuccessful. This is the seventh benevolence.

Musashi's subordinates fought for power and were confused by slanderous words. Uesugi guided his subordinates with virtue and did not persuade them. This is the eighth wisdom.

Musashi knew what was right and what was wrong. Uesugi promoted what was right with courtesy and corrected what was wrong with law. This is the ninth literary virtue.

Musashi liked to pretend to be weak and did not know the importance of military affairs. Uesugi defeated the majority with a small number of people and used troops like a god. The soldiers relied on him and the enemy feared him. This is the tenth martial virtue. "

Koyata spoke eloquently, rhythmically dancing his bamboo stick and narrating in a rhythmic manner. Everyone in the shogunate listened quietly to Koyata's words, and they all felt that these things were something that everyone usually felt, so how could Koyata be so witty, able to speak so thoroughly, and summarize so perfectly?

People have different abilities. Everyone knows that it hurts when an apple hits your head. This is a rule. But Newton was able to summarize the three laws. This is his ability.

Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands, "Tanzheng and I are like Wei Wu and Fengxiao. In the world, there is no one better than Tanzheng."

The audience in the shogunate saw the boss clapping, and they all clapped together to cooperate with Nobunaga.

Nobunaga stood up, walked over, and grabbed Kobayata's hand, "What else can I teach about Tanzheng? Let's talk about it together."

Kobayata thought this strategy was very good. Judging from the current level of the Japanese army, the army surrounded on all sides would collapse immediately. As long as the psychological pressure on the enemy was slightly increased, everything else would not be a problem.

"Kamizusuke will fight tomorrow. The plan remains unchanged. When Shibata's troops arrive, please put on the armor of the previous Bichu-no-kami, raise the flag of the previous Bichu-no-kami, and lead the elite, honest, brave and sharp soldiers to attack the front of Shibata's army. Shibata's troops have fought under Bichu-no-kami for many years since Azusaka, and they are impressed by the power of Bichu-no-kami. If they see Bichu-no-kami coming again, they will be in disarray and collapse without fighting. Kamizusuke will win the victory."

Nobunaga bowed deeply to Koyata. Koyata saw him bending down and hurriedly helped him up: "May Kamizusuke's military fortune last long. I am waiting for Kamizusuke's victory here."
