In recent times, Sagara Castle has been very different from the lax scene of the past, not only is the wall of the castle gate full of samurai armed with swords and arrows, and the castle gate is closed every day before dawn, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Now the people in Sagara Castle are panicked, and there are all kinds of rumors, but only a very few people who really know the truth are all powerful clans in Sagara Castle, and they all invariably turn their eyes to the famous lord's mansion to see how the Matsunaga clan reacts.

Matsunaga was a bit big-headed, and the news coming from the east these days was too shocking.

The Chiba clan is finished! The entire clan has been uprooted, and there are not many people who survive. Three of the four castles in the fiefdom of the Chiba clan have been lost, leaving only the remote Ukita who has not yet fallen, and it is heard that the eldest son of the Chiba clan, Chiba Noyoshi, has fled to Ukita, where he gathered some of the remnants of the Chiba clan in an attempt to make a comeback.

It was Toyotomi Shunyoshi who destroyed the Chiba clan!

Matsunaga was trembling when he heard the news, he used to be a retainer of the Toyotomi clan, how could he not know who Toyotomi Shunyoshi was. He defended Sagara Castle for the Toyotomi clan, and after the Toyotomi clan was killed, he supported his own army and proclaimed himself a daimyo to the shogunate, turning Sagara Castle into the private property of the Matsunaga clan.

Not only Matsunagayasu, but many of the city's guards did this, after all, it is rumored that the Toyotomi clan has been wiped out, who will put their net worth on the old master's family? Moreover, the Toyotomi clan overturned too quickly, and they simply did not have time for reinforcements. So after learning that the Toyotomi clan was wiped out, these guards closed the door and lived their own small lives steadily, after all, the Toyotomi clan has no clansmen, who else can they be loyal to?

Then they find that there is no one on their heads, and life seems to be a little more moisturized......

But now it's different, Toyotomi Shunyoshi is back, and he has knocked the enemy Chiba clan into the dust. Matsunaga believes that many people will be as frightened as himself, unable to eat, now that Toyotomi Shunyi has returned strongly, who knows if he will turn over old accounts and recover his fiefdom in the future? The Chiba clan was strong and strong, and he was wiped out, and all the guards of Sagara Castle together were only more than 5,000, how could they stop him?

Of course, Matsunaga Yasusu did not think about dedicating Sagara Castle to Toyotomi Shunyi again, after all, it is not ashamed for the weak to surrender to the strong in Fuso, but after careful consideration, he still decided to hold his troops first.

After being the number one leader for so many years, if there is suddenly an extra person in charge of things on his head, he will always be a little uncomfortable. Second, the Toyotomi clan was in trouble at the beginning, and as a retainer of the Toyotomi clan, he did not avenge the Toyotomi clan but supported the army and stood on his own, and it is really hard to say whether Toyotomi Shunyi will wear small shoes for himself in the future. It is not known how strong Toyotomi Shunyi is in Sanlai, and in case he defeats the Chiba clan, there are not many samurai, wouldn't it be a big joke for him to go and kneel and lick like this?

And it's not alone that should be anxious, so it's better to wait and see.

After some consideration, Matsunaga Kang ordered the whole city to be on guard in case something changed, and at the same time sent out many spies to the area around West Park City to inquire about the situation.

Sho Matsunaga thought that Cao Wei had run away, but he didn't expect to see him again more than a month later, and it was on a big boat by the dock not far from Sagara Castle. The other side calmly drank tea and beckoned himself to sit down.

Shoichi Matsunaga took a deep breath, sat down opposite Cao Wei, and said, "Your Excellency, do you know that your head is worth two thousand taels in Sagara City, and many ronins want to carry your head to my eldest brother to receive the reward, if I were you, I wouldn't come back...... Your Excellency, let's go quickly, there are a lot of people staring at me now, if they let them find you, I'm afraid Your Excellency will be in danger, you must know that there are many samurai who work for my eldest brother......"

Cao Wei knocked lightly on the table, and several big men walked in, each of them carrying two or three heads in their hands, dripping with blood, and the room was suddenly filled with the smell of blood.

Huang Qiang walked in front and said, "My lord, everything has been cooked." ”

Cao Wei looked at Shoichi Matsunaga, who stood up in fright, and said, "Let's see if you know anyone!" ”

Shoichi Matsunaga looked at those hideous heads, his face was terrified, some of these heads were not unfamiliar to him, two of them were samurai under his eldest brother, who were very skilled, and they spent a lot of money to recruit them, Shoichi Matsunaga has always been very jealous, but he didn't expect it to end like this. There are also four of his subordinates outside, specifically to protect their own safety, all of them are brave people, and they are all folded here. There are also a few Shoichi Matsunaga who I don't know, presumably some ronins who follow him.

Matsunaga Xiang was shocked, it was only a pillar of incense from the time he got on the boat, and the other party was able to find out and kill all these people in such a short period of time, then the other party's power was really not to be underestimated......

Soon, he calmed down, sat down again, and looked at Cao Wei seriously, as if he had seen him for the first time.

"Your Excellency is a good means, Your Excellency...... Who is it? ”

Cao Wei handed him a cup of tea in front of him and said with a smile: "Last time I made a deal with Matsunaga Gongzi, I wonder if Gongzi still remembers?" ”

Matsunaga Xiang nodded and said, "Naturally remember, what does Your Excellency want?" As long as I can take it out, I will give it to Your Excellency! ”

Although Shoichi Matsunaga didn't know what Cao Wei's identity was at this time, he had already put Cao Wei on the same level as himself, and a strong man deserved respect and friendship.

Cao Wei didn't answer him immediately, but slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Let's talk about Toyotomi Shunyi first, how does Lord Matsunaga think of Toyotomi Shunyi?" And what does Matsunaga think of him? ”

Shoichi Matsunaga looked at Cao Wei deeply, he wanted to know where the man sitting opposite him came from at this time, as if he knew everything, looking at his conversation, there was no doubt that he was a Ming person, but he seemed to know everything about Fusang, where did such a character come from?

After thinking about it for a while, Matsunaga Sho said: "Azu is hesitating now, he is afraid that Toyotomi Shunyi will raise troops to attack, and he has the mind of Watchen, and he is unwilling to give away the family business that Matsunaga has saved for so many years, so he has not thought about how to do it or how to do it until now.

In my opinion, Toyotomi Shunyi has just fought with the Chiba clan, and even if he wins, it will be a big loss of vitality, and at this time, he will either bow down and send charcoal in the snow, or unite with other famous lords, recruit troops and horses, and prepare early, which is better than doing nothing...... How did you learn about Toyotomi Shunyoshi? ”

"Of course I know his ......"

Cao Wei smiled and said, "I was the one who helped him eliminate the Chiba clan!" ”

"What?"

Matsunaga Kang stood up again, it was really the other party who spoke too much, just like one day I saw a news that someone peeed ten meters away, and at this time a person suddenly appeared and told you that the person who peed ten meters away was him, and it was so flattering...... Surprise.

But for some reason, Matsunaga Kang chose to believe the other party's words without hesitation, he looked straight at Cao Wei and didn't speak, he believed that the other party must have something to say to himself.

Cao Wei also stood up, looked at Shoichi Matsunaga, and said seriously: "I think you are more suitable to be the famous lord of the Matsunaga clan, are you willing?" I can help you! "I want to talk about "Daming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
