The news of the change of the consulate soon spread throughout the upper and lower levels. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe morale of the people from the leaders to the soldiers has declined to varying degrees, but the order is not chaotic - after all, this has little to do with the people at the bottom.

However, the reaction of the retainers was much more violent, and it was not possible to adapt to the hostile camp in an instant. The Hattori brothers and Mori Shinsuke were silent, Masuda Nagamori didn't know what he was thinking, only Marume Nagae, who had the least relationship with the Oda clan, was still relaxed, and even in the eyes of Honhide, if it wasn't for the atmosphere, maybe he would have come over to ask about the amount of the increase.

As for the two people who are regarded as left and right by the tie Tsunosu -

"Is Your Highness really going to turn against him?"

After wandering in the corridor for a long time, Kawada Nagajin finally couldn't help but walk to the door of the study.

Fan Xiu glanced at him, slowly got up, put the book in his hand on the table, patted Kawada on the shoulder, and turned to look out the window.

"Tomorrow you go with me."

“…… It's ......"

Kawada Chang responded in a humble voice, still puzzled, just looked straight at the back of Fan Xiu, and didn't know whether to ask again.

"If you have something to say, just say it! You still need to worry about anything in front of me. ”

Fan Xiu turned around and took a few steps, and threw down another sentence.

The meaning of this sentence seems to be to regard him as a cronie. For a samurai who has only been in the office for half a year and is a foreigner, this can be regarded as a favor.

Although Fan Xiu has long listed Kawada as a talent to rely on in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a small servant who serves the lord, and even some people often have unrealistic misunderstandings because of his handsome and beautiful appearance.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Kawada was a little moved, but this was not the time to show his loyalty. He took a few steps forward, followed closely behind Fan Xiu, bowed his head and whispered:

"With such conditions, even if His Royal Highness really turns to Imagawa, there will be no criticism from the people of the world."

"Oh?" Honhide stopped and looked sideways at Kawada.

The meaning of the words seems to be in favor of the transfer, but the tone is a little reserved.

"That's why I accepted Imagawa's terms. After all, it's 5,000 yuan, ten times more than that! I am also a man of the world. Fan Xiu replied.

"But...... But I think His Highness has other plans! Kawada gritted his teeth and finally said the question in his heart.

Are there any other plans...... Kawada Nagajin is really a keen person.

Fan Xiu shook his head slightly, noncommittal: "What else do I have to do?" You're overthinking. ”

Kawada hung his head and said nothing, just standing behind him, and Tsuyohide also stood in place, not saying a word.

There was a long silence.

Suddenly a cool breeze wafted outside the window.

Kawada suddenly looked up, walked in front of Tsunoxiu, knelt on the ground, unsheathed his saber, and raised his hands flat in front of him.

"What does that mean?" Fan Xiu didn't stop it, just frowned tightly.

"Dare to ask Your Highness not to risk your life!" Then he adjusted his tone and said softly but resolutely: "If Your Highness thinks that the ministers have trespassed, please give him death!" ”

Fan Xiu didn't answer, just stared at the retainer in front of him.

Was this what he really thought, or was he pretending to be upright?

As is often said in literary works: If it is not true feelings, it is a great evil.

Kawada Naga in history seems to be a person with a good reputation. And the samurai in front of him, who was less than twenty years old, really didn't look like a traitorous figure.

Fan Xiu sighed lightly, his eyes slowly softened, and he reached out to pull up the young man in front of him. Regardless of what he said, whether it was in line with his own plan or not. This loyalty alone is invaluable.

"Please don't put your life at risk, Your Highness."

Kawada refused to get up, but repeated the sentence.

After several fruitless attempts, Fan Xiu turned a little angry, and ignored him, so he retreated to his seat and poured himself a cup of tea.

One cup after another, the cool tea entered the stomach, and the consciousness immediately cleared up.

"Jiulang (Kawada's character), when you recommended yourself to be a disciple that day, you once quoted a sentence from the late Northern Army Shenzong Digong, do you remember?"

"Yes."

Kawada finally raised his head and said slowly: "The great names of the world, evil as Toki, Ouchi, good as Takeda, Nagao, Maori, Oda." These are the original words of Zong Di Gong. Later, there were rumors that when Zongdi Gongxian went, he said that in another three years, he would be able to see the rise of Oda. ”

"Now Oda is about to fall...... I'm afraid Zong Digong is wrong. ”

Fan Xiu's words were obviously intentional.

Kawada was silent for a while, but his tone was still firm:

"The minister's mind has not changed."

"Oh?"

"The country has no internal and external patients, and the country is dead. As long as the Oda family survives this catastrophe, it will be extremely Tailai or not. ”

Fan Xiu subconsciously nodded in agreement. According to the trajectory of history, this sentence is not wrong. However......

As long as you survive this catastrophe, it will be a great deal or not. But what if you can't get it?

"Does Kuro mean that he should stand on the side of the old lord Oda and continue to resist Imagawa?"

“……”

Kawada was silent again.

Fan Xiu didn't urge him, just sat lazily in place, waiting for the other party's reaction.

"The minister didn't dare to say anything......" Kawada squeezed out these words with great difficulty, "however...... If it is to gain fame, the lord will definitely accept the conditions of the Imagawa family. If there are other plans, it is only out of faithfulness. ”

"It's just that the lord will die for this loyalty."

Still didn't look up, and the voice became more and more difficult.

Fan Xiu sighed, leaned back, and leaned against the wall behind him.

"So what does Kurou want?"

"As long as the minister knows and follows His Highness's orders, it is enough. What I can see, Matsui Hall must be able to see as well. The reason why he didn't say a word was precisely because he had the heart to advance and retreat with His Highness. ”

As soon as these words came out, Kawada suddenly exhaled deeply, relieved.

Hearing this, Fan Xiu bowed his head slightly.

"The minister retired."

"Go ahead!"

Kawada bowed heavily, got up, and walked out the door.

After a long time, Fan Xiu smiled bitterly.

Your burden has been laid down...... But my burden is still on my shoulders!

However, this is also the responsibility of being a king.

—————————————————————————————————————————

The first bow in the East China Sea, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is it?

Shogun Ashikaga clan near the clan origin, the guardian of the three kingdoms that ruled the Suruga Toe Mikawa, from the four high-ranking officials of the lower ruling department Daisuke, and a powerful daimyo with tens of thousands of soldiers. Any of the above identities is enough to make people look sideways. When these four are combined, the overlapping light will only make the world awe-inspiring.

Essay Tao Wu Luo, Imagawa Yoshimoto may not be better than Takeda, Uesugi, Hojo and the like, but he has economic strength that Takeda can hardly match, Hojo's righteous reputation for thinking about the twilight, and the stable foundation that Uesugi lacks the most. So in this era, he was called the closest person to the world - at least in the eyes of the Kanto people.

As a samurai of Suruga Province, Fuji Nobutada had seen countless strangers panic before their visit, and even the envoys of Takeda and Hojo would be ashamed of themselves in front of the Imagawa family's family and wealth.

However, today, the small lord of this unknown place has always been calm and calm along the way, which has deeply hit the superiority of the Suruga people.

The 200 soldiers brought by Fuji Nobutada were lined up in two columns, and in the middle were more than 30 people holding the banner of a tie. Hattori Kohei Tai and Mori Shinsuke were in charge of leading the team, while Hohide was accompanied by only two people, Marume Nagae and Kawada Nagakin.

Tie, Fuji and Maeda, the three riders walked side by side in the middle of the ranks.

After a moment of silence, the people of Suruga suddenly couldn't help but find something to talk about.

"It's really hard to see this place in Suruga?"

Fuji Nobutada pointed to the farmland of Qianmo Traffic and said with a smile. The samurai of Suruga Province were familiar with the tea ceremony, waka, Taisha, gold mines and merchants, and they did not have to be close to the farmland.

Fan Xiu glanced sideways, his face sinking like water.

"There's nothing worth mentioning about this part of Owari other than the plains that are suitable for farming."

Fuji choked suddenly, Suruga Province was full of hills, land transportation was not convenient, and most of the trade routes were through the sea, which was not something to be happy about for the samurai.

"Hehe......" Fuji laughed a few times, "At this year's poetry meeting, Yamashina Neizotou (Yamashina Yanji) also wrote a poem praising the wild fun of Owari, and the Hiteden probably lived here for a long time, so he was used to it!" ”

Yamashina was a samurai priest who was responsible for receiving donations from the daimyo in the court, and was regarded as a person who single-handedly supported the finances of the imperial court, as well as an expert in culture and communication. Being able to attract such courtiers to the annual meeting at any time shows the family of the Imagawa clan.

However, it seems useless to show these things in front of Hite, and although Owari is full of vulgar and illiterate people, he is not included, not to mention......

"When it comes to Yamashina-sama's poetry, it is a unique in the world, and the poetry collection he collaborated with his late father has always been regarded as a treasure by contemptible." Fan Xiu squinted his eyes, made a look of intoxication, and then turned around and said: "As a martial artist, Lord Yamashina does not think of fame and fortune at all, but concentrates on compiling the "Picking Cui Foolish Grass Copy", this is a thing that can be worthy of the world's people!" ”

“…… Aha, that's true! ”

Fuji secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, eager to give himself a slap. With his identity, it is the limit to have a few words with the imperial court envoy during the poetry meeting, where will he know what Yamashina Yanji is writing? If it weren't for the fact that he was too young to know the reputation of Masahide Hirate back then, he would not have committed this kind of problem.

Although he is a samurai in the countryside, Ci Feng is far from being owned by the countrymen. But just by relying on eloquence, can you earn 5,000 yuan? Fuji thought so, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but quickly suppressed his emotions. After all, the person in front of him is about to become an important minister in the family, and the person in charge of recruitment is likely to be close to the water and take the opportunity to become a political ally. The Fuji family has recently won the trust of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and its voice in the center is getting higher and higher, and it is in need of an alliance with local powerful factions to help each other. Besides, even if there is no need to woo, there is no need to offend a person who is about to gain power for the sake of anger.

Then his expression suddenly became very respectful, and he was eager to bow down and hold the reins of his horse.

The tie is also very interesting, reciprocating with peach, talking and laughing with Yan Yan, as if there is no one around.

However, these two people obviously won't really notice the scene next to them.

Maeda Toshiya still walked on the outermost side with his head bowed without saying a word, watching coldly and expressionlessly.

In the past, when he was in Cheongju City, he only felt that the young retainers, except for Niwa, were all stunned young people who had no city in their chests, and they could see through it at a glance. Not anymore. Ikeda Tsuneko has become less and less of a military commander and more of a politician since he opened his door, and now it's Maeda's turn.

According to what Honhide knew, Maeda should have come to the door last night and asked Honhide if he was really going to join the enemy.

Yet he did not do so.

He was just like a samurai who had no choice but to surrender and felt guilty, silent and expressionless—perhaps this was just the right way to make the Imagawa family more convinced of his "sincerity".

Could it be that the long-term turmoil has caused his mind to grow rapidly?

First he was expelled by the sovereign who favored him, then he was dragged into the conspiracy by his former colleagues, and then he was broken by the astonishing five thousand times......

If this development continues, it will get closer and closer to the person in history who defected and suddenly broke away from Shibata's camp.

It's just that his behavior is becoming more and more unpredictable.

According to the original plan, he is the candidate to charge into battle! Is he still willing to take on such a task today?

After thinking about it for a while, Fan Xiu decided not to change his mind in order to leave enough room for himself. On a chessboard where lives are at stake, it is clearly necessary to leave room for it. While leaving too much room for maximum benefit often loses the opportunity to reap the maximum benefits, in general, most humans are risk-averse unless they have no choice.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Fan Xiu's calm and breezy expression remained unchanged. It's not so much that it's good at disguise, but that after two lifetimes as a human being, this has become a habit.

Along the ancient national road of the East China Sea, I saw six or seven guerrilla armies of Imagawa along the way, and it was not until it was completely dark that I finally reached the main camp of Imagawa.

From a distance, more than ten tents with dozens of square circles can be faintly seen, maintaining a certain distance and staggered from each other.

The big flag in the center, the tree to the highest pole, is very eye-catching.

The first bow of Tokaido is among them.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Approaching the military formation, a patrol immediately approached. The name was reported, and after being checked by two people who looked like captains, he was allowed to move forward.

Hirate's first thought was to immediately estimate the total number of Imagawa's troops.

According to the military system at this time, the strength of each formation should be between 300 and 800, and the number of people in this formation should be between 1,000 and 2,000.

Eleven reserves, surrounded by the subordinate army in the middle, were very flat on all sides, and only the main formation was on a small hill overgrown with weeds, which was condescending. Sure enough, Imagawa's main team is not in the barrel narrow room in history.

The lack of dangerous terrain and the arrangement of the other party are also very reasonable, and it seems that it is not suitable for a sneak attack.

Fan Xiu turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to Kawada Changqin, and then followed the team, slowly walking forward, and there was no time to care about it for a while.

"Hiteden, ......"

Fuji Nobutada's voice suddenly rang in my ears again.

"Ah...... What do you think of Fujiden? ”

Fan Xiu's thoughts were interrupted, and she was slightly at a loss for a while.

Fuji Nobutada, however, thought that he was intimidated by Imagawa's military strength, and the sense of superiority that had disappeared along the way reappeared.

"The soldiers of the family flag, all wearing cyan armor, holding three spears, with colorless flags as the number." Fuji Nobutada stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the main camp and proudly introduced.

"Oh...... Sure enough, they are all strong pawns, and they are worthy of the king's master. ”

After such a reminder, Fan Xiu understood what the other party meant, so he hurriedly expressed appropriate surprise and admiration.

Such a military appearance did not bring the slightest shock to Fan Xiu. After the long-term edification of those exaggerated literary and artistic works in later generations, these lord armies of the feudal era are really not worth mentioning for modern people. I remember that in a movie about Kawanakajima by a well-known director Kurosawa, the equipment of any of the two Ashigaru companies, Uesugi and Takeda, is not inferior to the Imagawa flag team in front of him. (PS: Spit it out, I don't deny that Kurosawa is an excellent director, but excellent directors will also make low-level historical mistakes)

After this incident, Fuji's mood was greatly relieved, and Maeda Toshiya only glanced at Toshihide a few times, as if he was a little disappointed.

"Fujiden, when is it appropriate to visit Jibu-sama?"

Fan Xiu was obviously not in the mood to dwell on this issue.

"The lord has always been thirsty for talent, I'm afraid I can't wait."

Fuji smiled and was about to pull the flat hand forward, but he didn't forget the Maeda Toshiya next to him

"This matter is Yucheng, it is relying on the recommendation of Maeda Palace!"

Along the road, after two more checks, I passed the guard and walked into the barracks.

Kawada Nagakin, who was leading the horse, was taken to a special position by Imagawa's logistics staff, and the accompanying team was also arranged on the periphery.

When he walked to the main camp, another group of guards came out, and the leader called himself Okabe Masatsuna, who very respectfully but resolutely asked Hirate Tsunohide to unload his equipment, and stopped the two attendants, Marume and Kawada, so that they were already unarmed.

"Being here, you have to be cautious, please forgive the Peace Palace."

Fan Xiu smiled and shook her head, indicating that she would not mind.

"The son of a daughter can't sit down, that's right."

So he only wore the usual white Wu costume and walked forward leisurely.

In the military tent, there was a sudden sound of singing.

This was followed by a heart-wrenching appreciation:

"Where the king is located, the gods and demons of the heavens can't be either, great goodness!"

And then another:

"Four hundred soldiers, all killed in a battle, Sasa Hayato is a loyal man, I will bury him!"

Sasa Hayato?

Isn't that the second brother of Sasa Chengzheng?

Of the three brothers of the Sasa family, the eldest son died in battle a few years ago, and now it is the turn of the second son.

In the darkening sky, a loud thunderclap suddenly sounded.

"Thunder after autumn, I'm afraid...... Not a good omen. ”

Fuji Shintada muttered to himself, a knee-jerk reaction as a professional god stick.

Is it a bad omen?

I just don't know to whom this omen is being addressed.

Is it said that Owari Oda will inevitably be wiped out here, or

Hirate Honshu originally didn't believe in the theory of celestial and human induction, but ...... Can it be explained by materialism that we have traveled from this world to hundreds of years ago and were reincarnated as babies for no reason?

Zi said: "The righteousness of serving the people, respecting ghosts and gods and staying away, can be said to know." ”

Fanxiu looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled. Then caress the caftan and move forward.

If there really is providence...... Then let's see if Providence is on my side. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
