Chapter Seventy-One

Although Mino's strategy went well, the news that Takeda was preparing to send troops to support the Saito family shocked and panicked Owari. www.biquge.info After many investigations, Nagai Michitoshi did get the official consent of the tiger.

The Takeda clan of Kai country, which has always been famous for its elite soldiers, has been fighting with Uesugi River Nakajima for ten years, and the people of Kanto have said: The world will be taken by these two people. Although the Oda family has occupied almost all of Owari and Mino, their prestige is far from that of their counterpart.

If Takeda were to fight Oda, the direction of attack would probably be the Higashimino Nakasendo. Although the local Toyama clan was married to Oda, they did not have much interest, and when the Koshin army approached the castle, it was likely that they would surrender without a fight. Although the road to Zhongshan was rugged and the logistics were inconvenient, as long as Takeda sent a general and led 3,000 men westward, it would be a great threat to Oda.

Oda Nobunaga, who is domineering on the outside and looks down on the crowd, is actually the object of emulation of Takeda Shingen, who has both wisdom and courage, and lacks the belief to fight against it. Therefore, with the exception of a few hard-liners such as Shibata Katsuie, the overall view of the family is biased towards acting steadily, with peace talks first.

But when it came to who could be in charge of trying to make contact, no one answered. On the one hand, he is afraid of Takeda's name, and on the other hand, there is really no way out. Although it is a great achievement to facilitate the peace talks, the difficulty is too high, and it is better to honestly make more efforts when attacking Mino.

And at this time, Hisete Honxiu thought of the almighty monk Huya Zongyi - his master Kuaikawa Shaoxi, who was also somewhat famous in the Koshin area. As a result, after asking, I learned that there were people on Koshin's side who wanted to contact the Oda family, and the level was not low. Fan Xiu then volunteered to take on the diplomatic mission.

For a while, everyone was eye-catching. Coupled with the previous momentum, the name of "Zhisho Tieshou Honxiu" once overshadowed the recent "celebrity of the tweak" Niwa Nagahide.

……

At the end of the year, the samurai directly under the castle were all gathered in the castle lord's study.

Fan Xiu hesitated for a moment, crossed out the title "Yuanjiang Shou" on his head, and took out a letterhead again, writing the words "Mr. Takenaka", and then signed his name directly.

"Sun Pingji, can you send this letter to Shigeharu Takenaka, who lives in seclusion in Omi Asakusa County?" Hoshu asked Nakamura Kazushi like this.

Nakamura hesitated for a moment, not daring to answer the order. It is too difficult to go to an unfamiliar place to find someone you don't know, and the other party may also be incognito.

"In that case, Kurou, you can go with him, Omi is your hometown, it shouldn't be a stranger, right?" Then he turned to Kawada Nagakin.

"Yes." The latter said that it could be completed, but then asked suspiciously: "But Your Highness...... As far as I know, many people have not been able to invite this person out of the mountain in person, and you can only rely on a letter......"

"Who said I was going to ask him out of the mountains?" Fan Xiu shook his head, "I just want to ask him some questions." ”

Although Kawada was puzzled, he felt that it was not appropriate to ask again, and Nakamura was calm by nature and would not easily show his thoughts even if he had them.

At the end of the seventh year of Eiroku, Takenaka Hanbei Shigeji, who had run from Mino, went to Omi-Ibuki Mountain, nominally accepting the Asai family's Yuroku, but in fact living in seclusion in the local area. It was obviously his father-in-law Mamoru Ando who was the mastermind, but the responsibility was all borne by Takenaka, which won him a lot of positive reviews.

Oda Nobunaga praised him even more - of course, it was more likely to be the strategy of the daughter of the city, and sent people to invite him continuously, but all of them were refused, and even the "master of tuning" Niwa Nagahide was also stupid. As for that monkey, with his current status, I'm afraid he may not be able to have such a mind.

"Yaheiji (Nakamura Kazunari) still draws attention to Mino's movements."

"Yes."

"In addition, you can only prepare for the New Year's purchase, this season's taxes and next season's spring ploughing, let Gobei (Ina Tadaji) help you deal with it."

"Yes." Matsui has always been very skeptical. On the contrary, Ina Tadaji himself was a little panicked and nervous.

He came in at the same time as his father's loyal family, and he put him in the position of the commissioner just by looking at the name, although the child was only fourteen years old, but with the training of the name of Matsui, he must be able to become a great weapon in the future.

"Koheita and Sun Jiro continue to be in charge of the army, and Sanyazo (Honda Masashige) martial arts are not yet pure, so let him train with ordinary soldiers, but the amount must be doubled...... No, three times. ”

As soon as these words came out, Honda Masashi did not have any worries, but smiled happily and thanked him busily. Maybe the "apes" have their own unique values?

They retreated, leaving behind only those who had not yet been ordered.

Then Honhide asked Honda Masanobu: "Yahachiro, the Mikawa people have been unable to integrate into Owari for a long time, what can you do?" ”

Honda's father and son were originally just eagle craftsmen, but now they can serve in the city and their status has improved, so naturally they don't have much nostalgia for their old lives. Kato Kato is nominally a lineage of the Matsudaira clan, but in fact, he only moved there with his father and ancestors when he was a child, and he is not uncomfortable with Owari. However, the Toda, Natsume, and Ina families all lived in Mikawa, and now that they are living in other countries for their beliefs, it is inevitable that they will feel uprooted from their homeland, and they have almost no contact with the people of Owari.

Honda Masanobu asked questions, not only because he knew Mikawa better, but also to see the growth of this think tank.

"This ......," Honda replied after thinking for a moment, "the heirs of the Ina family have just been promoted to the rank of commissioner by Your Highness, and they will surely be grateful for this kindness, so it is better to deal with the other two families in the same way." ”

Fan Xiu bowed his head in agreement.

"I heard that Natsume Jiro's son is outstanding in martial arts, so he was chosen as the flag book, but Toda Saburo has no heirs, what should I do?"

"Your Highness, Toda-sama has a niece who is an adult, so you might as well ......"

Honda Masanobu felt that his proposal was a good idea, and the Hirate family now had six or seven hundred soldiers, and he was one of the top ministers in Owari's strength, and it was not too much to take a side room. If he became a close in-law, the Toda clan's loyalty would naturally surge, which would be more effective than promoting his juniors.

But Fan Xiu was noncommittal:

"Any other ideas?"

"This ...... Kawada-sama, Hattori-sama, and Asano-sama have not yet married a wife. Honda gave the alternative, but he couldn't help but be confused in his heart - Madame does not look like a powerful woman, but His Royal Highness is an elegant person, maybe not a woman but a good man? But I didn't see a handsome little surname in the city.

"Let's test the tone of the Toda family first."

In the end, Fan Xiu did not judge lightly.

"Yes......"

In the end, there were only two left, Asano Nagayoshi and Ii Naotoka, and there were no tasks to be handed over.

"Yabei, pack up your horses and go out tomorrow."

"Yes!" The kid Nagaji replied, but he didn't act immediately, but stood in place with a sad face, "Your Highness, it's good to leave the matter of marriage to Senior Jiuro or Senior Kotota, I don't need it, right?" ”

"The ladies from the orthodox martial arts family, why are you not satisfied?"

"This and this ......" in front of him, even he Changji didn't have the face to say that he was worried that he would not be able to go to the whale house under the control of his wife.

"You're the only one left in the Asano family, and it's an unshirkable responsibility to give birth to offspring as soon as possible!"

"You're Teaching ......"

Nagayoshi bowed in despair and turned to get down to business.

Then he turned around with great relief, only to see Takeshi Ji staring straight at him.

"What's the matter with Jiro?" Calling a woman by this name is something you can't get used to even after many times.

"Your Highness......" Ii Naohu bowed.

"Do you want to recommend yourself to do some work?"

Fan Xiu has a little headache, and it doesn't seem to be a glorious thing to let a woman go to the battlefield, and she may not be able to do the job she pursues......

"No, it's just a shame to accept your kindness without any merit." This Ji samurai changed his strategy of speaking.

"The so-called merit is better than the rescue, isn't it a merit to lead the guards?"

The woman was silent for a while, then sighed faintly, "I understand." Then he said gloomily: "Your Highness, your kindness to my Jing Yi clan may only be repaid in this way. ”

What do you really understand? - Fan Xiu wanted to ask this, but always felt that the other party had misunderstood something.

……

"Your Highness, are you going out again?"

A dog tiptoed to help Fan Xiu smooth the folds on his shoulders, and there was no lack of resentment in his words. And Zygote and Ning Ning knelt on the ground with low eyebrows and swords for him.

"yes."

"But it's almost the New Year......

"This time things are a bit tight, and we can't put it off until next year." Otherwise, Takeda may have sent troops, and it will be even more difficult to continue the talks when there are casualties on both sides.

"That's ......"

"I did wronged you...... But if I don't have time to come back, you're still in charge of the land!" Originally, I wanted to soothe two sentences, but as soon as the words came out, it turned into a different tone, "You can rely on Matsui and Kawada in government affairs." ”

Although the delicate little woman makes people feel pity, the main room of the samurai family needs a different temperament. This is similar to the so-called "marrying a wife and marrying virtue, and taking a concubine and taking a concubine".

"Yes. As a woman from a famous family, the concubine has long been conscious. It's just Ning Ning...... I'll take her in when you get back. ”

It's a strange attitude. Fan Xiu was slightly surprised in her heart, but she just nodded lightly on her face, and then looked sideways at Ning Ning, who was full of crimson.

"Besides, the zygote seems to be there again."

I see......

Secretly a little envious, Ah Dog thought he was hiding deeply, but Fan Xiu could see it at a glance.

Yukichiyo, who has turned four, almost never has ever had an illness, and she is also very lively - by the standards of a lady, it can even be said that she is a little too lively. On the contrary, Chiyomaru, although he has not encountered any serious illness in the three years since he was born, he has always been very thin. This probably has a lot to do with the mother's physique.

Maybe it's because he usually spoils his daughter too much, and he seems to ignore his son a little.

"That's hard work." Hoshu bent down and smiled at the zygote, and then said, "It's time to hire a gentleman to teach Chiyomaru a scholar." ”

However, this person is a bit troublesome to choose. (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!) )
