Chapter Seventy-Two: Contact with Takeda
The meeting place is a small mountain temple southwest of Shinano, less than 100 miles away from the castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, the road is rough and extremely difficult, and it may not be possible to reach it in two days.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate, so it is impossible for both sides to bring too many guards, so it is also a very suitable place for first contact.
The one in charge of leading the way is naturally Tiger Zai Zongyi.
"O monk! I've been troubled so many times, and if I don't find a reason to give you some money, I'm upset. ”
Fanxiu half-jokingly accosted.
"If the poor monk really took Zhixing and became your retainer, I'm afraid he won't be able to help with these things."
Zong Yi smiled.
"No, no, I want to ask your old man to be the dog's seat, and it's naturally not a problem."
"Oh? Aren't you worried that I've taught Ling Lang to be a slick prodigal? ”
"You, a monk, are just doing this in private."
"You can see this, too?"
"Otherwise, those who call you an enlightened monk are blind?"
"Uh......"
"At least in front of the Lingshi, monk, you will never dare to act recklessly."
"That's true." Zong Yi nodded and shook his head suddenly, "But the family teacher is still there, and the poor monk is not willing to leave Meinong." ”
"Who said you were leaving?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You can't leave, but I can go over, and you guess that in a few years, Inabayama Castle will be under the banner of Oda?"
"That's a promise...... But I'm not sure what it will look like. ”
"Thank you."
"I don't dare to do it, but I want to ask Lord Supervisor about something." Monk Zongyi suddenly became a little serious.
"Please." Fan Xiu naturally will not ignore his opinion.
"First Higashimino Enzan, then Mikawa Matsudaira, and now Takeda, have you become the head of the Oda family in charge of foreign affairs?"
"The Toyama clan of Higashimino was pushed to Niwa, and the Matsudaira clan was later officially received by Hayashi Sado...... However, what the monk said also makes sense, and it seems that he will not interfere in these tasks in the future. ”
"The poor monk doesn't have this intention, and he can be in charge of diplomatic affairs, isn't he a representative of the elders of the important ministers' family?" Monk Qi Dao.
"It is better for the samurai to make a career with military merits." Fanxiu didn't explain specifically, but changed the topic, "By the way, you haven't told me who the messenger sent by the other party is?" ”
"It's also a temporary idea over there, and I haven't decided on the candidate before, and the preliminary consideration is that Shinano Country Ina County Acting Official Akiyama Nobuyo, known as Bo Qimori."
"Oh, I've heard of it."
"Really? But your reputation in the East Country is not necessarily weaker than his. ”
……
The envoy of the other party is a bit like Sazuo Chengzheng in temperament, resolute and majestic without losing elegance. As for physiognomy, it can make most men feel the urge to disfigure it.
"It's a tie and a Saemon show."
"Down there is Akiyama Zenemon Nobuyo."
"Long admiration!"
"Long admiration!"
Almost at the same time, they all spoke, and then they all expressed their demeanor of luck.
"The demeanor of the prison hall is outstanding, and he deserves to be the general of Owari."
"Where, after seeing Bo Qishou, you can only be ashamed of yourself."
"The Oda family has this meritocracy, no wonder they can defeat Mino Saito."
"Dashan (Takeda Shingen was the Daizen doctor at the time) won Shinano and Ueno, and shocked the world, compared to Owari Oda, what is the point?"
……
"Haha......" Nobuyo Akiyama laughed heartily, "I, a samurai of the Eastern Kingdom, have never been good at words, and those words have been brewing for several days, and if I continue to greet them, there will be no words!" Why don't you have something to say? ”
"Bo Qishou is really bold, but it's too hypocritical to do so." Fanxiu also smiled, but only smiled lightly, "Then I will say bluntly that my family wants to make an alliance with the Takeda clan." ”
"Although the contemptible people have a good impression of the Oda family, but the main family has just agreed to the Saito clan's request for help, I'm afraid it will ......" Akiyama Nobuyo looked embarrassed.
"Bo Qi's words are not true! You just said, 'Speak up,' did you forget it so quickly? ”
"Where does this start?" Akiyama seems to be very interesting.
"If Dashan really doesn't have this intention, he won't send someone over to negotiate, but will directly let you lead Ashigaru to come over." Fanxiu felt that he had figured out the other party's words and routines.
"I didn't expect you to be more frank than us Jiaxin people." Akiyama didn't feel embarrassed, "It's true that Kazujo has no intention of fighting the Oda family for the time being. ”
"For the time being?"
Is there anything wrong with that word? Is there ever peace under heaven? Maybe one day ......"
Akiyama said this deliberately, as if he wanted to use Takeda's prestige to oppress the other party.
Fanxiu's first thought was-for-tat, and then he remembered that the Oda family in history seemed to have maintained a long-term peace with Takeda because of showing weakness. So he turned to say:
"Then I can only hope that the peace between the two families will last a little longer."
"To what extent?"
"At least to the point where the Oda family is strong enough to compete with Takeda."
Although this sentence is also a counterattack, the implication is that it admits that the current Oda is not Takeda's opponent, and it can be regarded as a "tough show of weakness".
"But I don't have to be so patient! If he's going to attack Owari after March......"
"Could it be that the Ueno strategy was abandoned halfway?" As a hardcore history gamer, Fanxiu is still very aware of the order of the Takeda family's strategy.
"The Upper Continent Macula has passed away, don't you know it yet?"
"But his son is still alive, didn't Dr. Dashan evaluate him as 'inferior in wisdom and better in courage' than his father?"
Akiyama Nobuyo bowed his head slightly, and there was no lack of approval in his eyes, and suddenly changed his words and said: "Prison Palace, if you intend to change your position, you will definitely not hesitate to be generous. ”
This was obviously a joke, but Fanxiu replied solemnly: "But if you want to change your position, Owari will definitely not welcome it." ”
"Why is that?" Akiyama feigned anger.
"Otherwise, you will keep an eye on your wives and concubines, and never let them see you."
One glance at each other, both of them laughed.
"If Owari is so interesting to everyone, it doesn't hurt to change his career."
"If all the men of Koshu have such manners, the contemptible people will never go."
After laughing for a while, I got back to business.
"Although he is wise and decisive, he also has to consider the position of his retainers."
Nobuyo Akiyama finally said the truth.
"Since you are so honest, I don't shy away from it, and when I learned that Takeda intended to come west, Owari was timid before he fought."
"Now Oda is strong, and Saito is weak, so everyone in the family thinks that it is time to help Saito in case Oda sits big."
"Bo Qishou, you must not agree with this view."
"Definitely. I see that the Saito family is terminally ill, and if the family only rescues with a partial teacher, I am afraid that it will not help, and if we rescue with all our might, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"But that's not enough to convince others."
"Exactly."
Fanxiu thought for a while, and suddenly said again: "I heard that your family and Echigo Uesugi have reached a peace?" ”
"Yes, it's the harmony of the princess, and I don't dare to disobey."
Nobuyo Akiyama replied with great righteousness.
"Then I have a plan for you."
"Please advise."
"Suruga's Imagawa clan is true, and the incompetence of the royal family has caused its wealthy families to rebel one after another. Kai is adjacent to Suruga, so why not ......"
Akiyama was visibly stunned for a moment, and then replied loudly:
"Please be cautious! The family and Imagawa have been allies for many years. ”
"Oh, I beg your pardon for the gaffe."
Fanxiu squinted his eyes, unmoved.
According to historical inference, in more than a year, Takeda Shingen will officially break with Imagawa, and it is absolutely impossible to say that he does not have this mind at the moment.
