In the Miki Castle Imperial Hall, Shinji and Nobutsada Nishiki, who had not slept all night, did not rest immediately after finally calming the morale of Miki Castle's army, but privately discussed the strategy of dealing with the attack of the Ohnoya. Apparently they weren't as confident as they had shown themselves to be in front of the soldiers, and both Shinji and Shinsada knew that they couldn't resist Ohno's ambitions on their own.

"Father-sama, it seems that without the intervention of a third party, we Nishiki will not be able to compete with Ohno." In the Imperial Pavilion, in the face of the current difficult situation, Nobutaha Hitoki said to Shinji Nishiki with a worried face.

In his opinion, there is no other way out for the Renmu family now than to go out of the city to break through and ask for help, but in terms of the current situation of the Renmu family, the only people who are qualified and capable of going out to ask for help are himself and his father-in-law Renmu Shinji. However, a father-in-law, Nobuyoji Nitoki, has been old and frail, and he is the lord of Miki Castle, and he must stay to stabilize people's hearts, so the heavy responsibility of going out to ask for help can only fall on himself.

However, the Onokie family is now surrounded by heavy troops in Miki Castle, and if Nobutaza Nishiki wants to break through the siege and ask for help, he must draw a large number of defenders of Miki Castle to cover himself in order to succeed. In this way, Miki Castle has completely lost the power to protect himself, and can only rely on Renki Nobusada's request for help in life and death, after all, he is only an adopted son-in-law, not a parent, will he be so trusted by his father-in-law, Renmu Shinji? Nobutaha Nishiki has no confidence in this, so he can only slowly test Shinji's intentions.

Renmu Shinsada's concerns are naturally understandable, but at this moment of crisis in the Renmu family, there is really no room for the slightest hesitation. Shinji Nitoki, who understood this section, said to his son-in-law Shinsada, "Shinzhen, what you said is good. Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, the Ono family is besieging the city with heavy troops, and in such a critical situation, our Miki City is indeed unable to stop the attack of the Ono family. Moreover, although the morale of the army in Miki City has settled down for the time being, when people's hearts are volatile for a long time, their morale will also be dispersed. Therefore, my father wants you to go out of the city to ask for help instead of my father, and the troops of Miki City are also mobilized by you, I don't know what you want? ”

"Ah~~~." Nobutaha Nishiki didn't expect Shinji Nishiki to trust him so much, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, in this way, Miki City won't be able to hold it." If Nobuzhen didn't bring in reinforcements in time, the century-old foundation of the Renmu family would not be able to be saved, and I asked my father-in-law to think about it again before making a decision. "Although going out of the city to ask for help is the only way out for the Nishiki family at the moment, whether what Shinji Nishiki said is true or not, these words are what Shinji Nishiki must say. If what Shinji Nishiki said is true, then he should be even more cautious in order to repay the kindness of the Renmu family, and if he only said this to test himself, then his words like this are also a foolproof strategy.

"Can Miki Castle still hold it?" Seeing that his son-in-law was still worried, Renmu Shinji didn't care about his true heart and said: "With Miki City's current strength, even if it is not reduced in the slightest, it can only delay the setting of the city for a few days, how will this benefit the fate of the family?" It's better for you to bet on him, and if you can't say it, the name of our Renmu family will be preserved, and this matter is already decided, so don't hesitate. ”

Renmu Shinji's words were obviously made up, and Renmu Xinzhen, who was familiar with his character, was suddenly deeply affected and hurriedly said firmly: "Haha, Xinzhen must live up to the trust of his father-in-law and invite rescuers from the Matsugami family to rescue his family, if he can't promote this, Xinzhen will definitely die and apologize for the funeral of the Renmu family!" ”

"Matsukami? Xinzhen you are wrong, being a father does not mean that you want to go to the Matsugami family for help. Seeing that Nobutaza Nishiki was going to Matsugami's house for help, he quickly interrupted him, in his opinion, the Matsugami family was now a toothless tiger, and it was difficult to protect itself. Don't go to Matsukami's house for help?

Shinji Renki's words made Shinji Nishiki full of puzzlement. "This Matsugami family is the co-head of the main family and the Ohno family, if the main family does not ask the main Matsugami family for help, then who can save my Matsugami family?"

"Yoshimitsu Matsugami."

"Yoshimitsu Matsukami!" Shinji Nishiki said a name that Nobutaza Nishiki couldn't have imagined, although this Matsugami Yoshimitsu has good strength, but he has no friendship with the Nishiki family, how can he send troops to rescue his family?

"That's right, it's Matsumoto Castle Lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu."

Seeing that his son-in-law was hesitant, Shinji Hitoki further said: "Although the Matsugami family is the co-head of the two families, nominally speaking, the Matsugami family is indeed the best choice for the family to ask for help. But the Matsugami family is now in the midst of a broken dynasty, and it won't do much more until a new lord appears. Even if the family asks the Matsukami family for help, it may not dare to offend the Ohno family to rescue the family, and even if the Matsugami family is willing to rescue the family, it is powerless. On the contrary, Matsukami Castle is now strong and strong, and has enough strength to compete with the Ohno family. ”

Speaking of this, Shinji Nishiki continued: "Are you hesitant that the family has no friendship with Matsumoto Castle, and is worried that Matsugami Yoshimitsu is unwilling to rescue the family? ”

"Although Matsumoto Castle is strong enough, the family really has no friendship with it, if you rashly ask for help, I'm afraid Matsugami Yoshimitsu will not agree!" Seeing that Renmu Shinji inquired, he said the hesitation in his heart.

Renki Nobusada can say this, obviously it is also a manifestation of the dedication of the Renki family, and Renki Shinji was moved and no longer blamed his stupidity, and explained to him: "It is true that this family has no friendship with Matsugami Yoshimitsu, but I think that my father thinks that Matsugami Yoshimitsu has a lot of ambitions, and I am afraid that he is not willing to succumb to the land of Matsumoto Castle." I'm afraid that he has been fighting hard and has been planning for a long time, and now that the Matsugami family is leaderless, his father guesses that he will definitely be unable to help but take action. And in the future, the only one who can compete with Matsugami Yoshimitsu is the Ohno family, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu is not a mediocre lord, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Ohno family grow. As long as you go this time to convey the sincerity of your family, you will definitely send troops to rescue your family because of your father's expectations. ”

"I see." After a penetrating explanation by Shinji Nitoki, Shinzhen said suddenly.

"Then the next thing is to finalize your diagram. Shin-jeong, you go and get the map. ”

"Haha." The map of the Miki Castle area was soon handed over to Shinji by Shinji Nitoki, who couldn't stop after getting the map and hurriedly spread out the map to check it. "That's right, this is it, Kachino Valley!" After thinking for a long time, Shinji Niki pointed to the corner of the map and said happily.

"Kashinoya?" Seeing that his father-in-law was so excited, Nobutada Renmu on the side hurriedly approached and followed the place he pointed out to check. This Renmu Nobutaha is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he quickly sees the subtlety.

"That's right, the Kano Valley is the only way for the family to get to Matsumoto Castle. Okay, then it's up to you to break through from the Kashino Valley. Father-in-law, Nobuzhen immediately reorganized his troops and horses and prepared to break through. Renmu Nobuzhen, who had made a good plan, immediately said eagerly, after all, Miki City can't wait long now.
