Chapter 1099: Uehara Toda
"Ugh." Sighing in his heart, knowing that the matter could not be avoided, Ning Xi Taxiu finally spoke: "If Matsumoto Kazama is really dead, it's not that things can't be discussed, but the price still has to be paid, if there is no benefit, I'm afraid it's not easy for the five-star army to talk." ”
"Do you want benefits? Give them that is. Ashikaga Yoshimasa became excited. Then he strode to the map on the side, and after a moment of silence, he pointed his big finger at the Sanyin Dao area and said, "Give this place to the Five-Star Army, such a benefit must be able to stop their army from advancing." ”
"What? Give them the whole San'in Dao? This meeting was replaced by Ning Xi Duoxiu's face of surprise. You must know that there are only seven districts in the entire Wa Kingdom, except for Heiankyo. I have already given one before, and I was beaten down by the Five-Star Army itself, and now I am giving one, doesn't it mean that the other party has occupied nearly half of the land of the Japanese Kingdom?
Looking at Ninki Tahide's surprised look, Ashikaga Yoshimasa smiled with great satisfaction. What he wants is such an effect, presumably how surprised Ning Xi Duoxiu is now, how surprised that King Wunan of the Great Ming Dynasty will be in the future.
"Yes, give it to them, hehe, this general is generous." Ashikaga Yoshimasa smiled, not putting the surprise of Ninki Tahide in his eyes at the moment. And soon, he gave a reasonable explanation. "Now our main goal is to destroy Hiraida, as soon as he dies, there will be no resistance force in the country that can form a climate, and that is when we will turn back to deal with the Five Star Army, and before that, we need peace. Besides, is San'in Dao really so easy to occupy? There are dozens of forces of all sizes, and there are more than 200,000 troops, and the number of them is more than that of the five-star army, and they want to eat it, it is not a matter of the past. ”
Finally understood what the general meant, Ning Xi Duoxiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at the same time, he was really afraid that the general was afraid of the five-star army and wanted to give away all the benefits. Now that everything has a plan, he only needs to carry it out, and with such a big dish as Sanyin Dao in front of him, he believes that no one can resist the temptation and not accept it. "Okay, please rest assured, the general will leave everything to his subordinates."
Three days later, the five-star army's barracks tent ushered in Ning Xi Duoxiu. It was already the second time he had arrived here, and he was very familiar with the way, and when he saw Yang Chendong, he first saluted, then explained, and finally threw out the heavy bait.
For the assassination, Ning Xi Duoxiu naturally pushed two hundred and sixty-five, saying that all this was a private act of the ninjas, and he and the general did not know, but in any case, this time the incident also caused losses and frightening to King Wunan, as compensation, and also showed the friendly relationship between the two sides, Ning Xi Duoxiu said on behalf of the general that he was willing to give up the San'in Dao area to the five-star army as compensation.
It was another big area of Dao, so he gave it to himself, and Yang Chendong really felt a little surprised. But then he figured it out, where is this to let the benefits for himself, he is clearly setting a trap for himself, is he really fooling like a three-year-old child?
After Ning Xi Duoxiu finished speaking, he kept staring at Yang Chendong, he wanted to see what his first reaction was, in order to make the most correct judgment.
In order not to disappoint the other party, Yang Chendong deliberately pretended to be very interested and greedy, and even said eagerly in his voice,
"Is the general really willing to give us San'in Dao to our five-star army?"
"Of course, the general attaches great importance to the friendship with King Wunan." Seeing that Yang Chendong seemed to have fallen for the trick, Ning Xi Duoxiu replied with a very positive tone while rejoicing in his heart.
"Okay, that's really thankful to the general, but I wonder if this matter can be announced to the world in an official document? This can also express the deep friendship between us and the great general. Yang Chendong smiled and made a small request.
If you want to make a play, of course you have to do a full set, Ning Xi Duoxiu thought that Yang Chendong was in the middle of the plan, and he did not doubt that he had it, so he simply agreed, and said that in seven days at the latest, he would send the document written by the general to the five-star army camp.
It's just a handwritten paperwork, and it takes seven days, and Ning Xi Duoxiu's purpose of taking the opportunity to delay time is already obvious. But Yang Chendong didn't mean to debunk the other party, and he also needed time to make some preparations.
Ning Xi Duoxiu left satisfied. He didn't know that just half a day after he left, a team also walked out of the Five-Star Army, and they left the barracks and headed straight in the direction of Sanyin Dao, and the leader of the team was the head of the Intelligence Bureau in the Wa Kingdom.
Guan Xing was on the orders of Yang Chendong, and this time he was going to see Uehara Toda, the general of San'in Province of the Wa Kingdom.
As the largest warlord force in San'in Province, Uehara Toda had 80,000 soldiers. This kind of force is an extremely strong force even in the general sequence. Relying on his understanding of the terrain and environment of San'in Road, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head snake here.
In normal times, the relationship between Uehara Toda and the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa is well water and does not interfere with river water, and when it comes to some big things, the two sides will join forces in a limited way. It is precisely because he was not regarded by the general as an enemy to be dealt with immediately, that Shogun Uehara Toda had a really chic life for a while.
No matter what the chaos in the country looks like, even Beiming and King Wunan have to come over to get a piece of the pie, but he is still not in a hurry at all, watching the changes in the situation, and looking like he is out of the way.
Under the war, few people can really be celibate. Uehara Toda also knows that he must make some moves, but when to choose and how to do it to maximize the benefits, this is what he is pursuing. To sum it up, it's just four words, he's waiting for the price to sell.
Sure enough, Uehara Toda, who has not been reckless, can receive various gifts from the general from time to time, such as gold and silver treasures and beautiful women, which means that he is also appeasing him, hoping that he will not take the opportunity to cause trouble. Fully understand the meaning of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, this Uehara general is really a rule, this civil war has been almost half a year, he has never sent a soldier to the battlefield, it is very good to be a lively melon-eating audience, watching the wind and clouds roll.
On this day, General Uehara, who was drinking and enjoying a rare peaceful time in his own general's mansion, welcomed a special guest, the five-star military messenger Guan Xing.
For the five-star army, Uehara Toda's perception is very contradictory.
He can get all kinds of benefits from the current chaos, and it is precisely because of the sudden intervention of the Five-Star Army that he is grateful to him at this point. But in the other direction, the five-star army is, after all
Foreigners, Japanese civil strife is rotting in the pot no matter how it is fought. As a general of the Japanese kingdom who has become powerful, of course, he doesn't want to see other people come to his country to take advantage.
Under this idea of love and hate, Uehara Toda hesitated for a moment, thinking of the rumors of the strength of the Five Star Army, especially the strength of their firearms, which was difficult to meet opponents, he finally decided to meet the other party. If the other party really has any request, as long as it is not too much, what if he agrees. It's better than provoking a strong opponent for no reason.
In the main hall, Uehara Toda met with the manager. As soon as they met, he smiled and showed a very enthusiastic look, and while he asked the manager to sit down, he also poured a glass of sake for the other party.
In the eyes of the manager, his evaluation of this Uehara Toda had to be a few points higher. can bend and stretch her husband, the real villain is not afraid, but the one who is afraid is the hypocrite.
"This person must be a stumbling block on the way forward of the Five Star Army in the future." Guan Xing, who had a preliminary impression in his heart, took the sake with a smile, and his mouth was full of words of thanks, and the guests and hosts gave people a very harmonious feeling for a while.
After drinking a few glasses of sake, the relationship between the two sides seemed to be much closer, and the steward finally got down to business. And a thunderbolt burst out of this mouth, "General Uehara, do you know that a catastrophe is about to happen?" ”
Uehara Toda, who was also observing the management and guessing the other party's intentions, heard this, and his face was also condensed. But soon he laughed again, "Your Majesty, isn't it a little alarmist, where is the catastrophe coming?" ”
"What? Don't the generals know yet? I had already thought about the other party's various response possibilities, and the confident Guan Xing pretended to be surprised and asked.
"Know what?" Uehara Toda, who was completely driven by the rhythm, had to ask out loud.
"It seems that the general really doesn't know. Hey, seeing that we are talking about such speculation, then I will tell the general, it won't be long before Sanyin Dao will be owned by the Five Star Army, and everything the general has will be lost soon. As if stating a fact, the manager shook his head as he spoke.
"Huh?" Uehara Toda's face was a little unkind, and he stared at Guan Xing and said, "What? Could it be that the Five-Star Army wants to send troops to forcibly occupy Shanyin? ”
"Seizure? Here's what this said. Guan Xing asked puzzled.
"What? Didn't your envoy say that this place would soon be owned by the Five-Star Army? So what are you not trying to take it forcibly? Hum! If this is the case, if your envoy is here to declare war, then General Ben will follow, but the 80,000 troops under my command and the hundreds of thousands of people from other forces are not vegetarians. When it comes to the back, Uehara Toda shows a domineering side, a picture of him not afraid of war, nor afraid of the five-star army.
Uehara Toda's fearless performance was seen in the eyes of Guan Xing, and he was the result of what he had thought, so he exclaimed, "What does the general mean by this, our five-star army has never meant to be an enemy of the general, all because the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa promised us King Wunan." ”
