Since it was time to get down to business, Fan Xiu put the idea of children's love in his mind behind, and also responded with a serious attitude: "In the past, the meaning of the clan was that as a step-son, it was best for him to marry a woman from the Hitete family. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But I think Keiji's child is trustworthy, and it's no different from his own child, so there's no need to draw snakes. Considering his current position, he is nominally a man sent by Oda, but in fact he is a public identity, so it will be a little subtle to find in-laws within Oda. I thought it would be better to look for a suitable partner from my 'new friends' in. Among the candidates is ......"

Generally speaking, Hirate is by no means a person who likes to talk nonsense - though not as concisely as Nobunaga. But Ah Dog was not familiar with the situation before, and this was the first time she cared about her nephew's lifelong affairs as a housemother, so he tried to explain it in detail, so as not to make her misunderstand or confused.

Inu listened very carefully, and seemed to be thinking hard, and then immediately asked a meaningful question: "Speaking of newcomers, it seems that many people in the family don't understand, what do you think of Iwanari Yutong?" Although the concubine does not know the world, she has also heard of the title of 'Three Good Three', and being able to rebel against her also confirms your prestige. But is the current treatment reused or prevented? It seems that both statements exist, and the concubine body is not very clear. If this person is reliable, his daughter is a good match for Keijiro. ”

Hearing this, Fan Xiu didn't answer first, but nodded approvingly. Being able to see this shows that Ah Dog does have an analysis of the current situation of the Tie family.

As the duty of "taking the second" of the Miyoshi family, how to deal with the enemy's generals is the biggest trouble that Fan Xiu is currently facing.

Now there are people of Iwanari Tomotsu's level, as well as Kasai Naganobu, Matsuyama Shigeharu and other generations are also considered samurai with status, and if the battle goes smoothly in the future, there will definitely be more and more Miyoshi old ministers who rely on a tie to "set things right". It is definitely necessary to accept them, and it is impossible to refuse or kill them directly, otherwise it is tantamount to creating unnecessary trouble for themselves.

However, what should be done after the surrender and rebellion?

If you trust it directly, you will definitely be risky. After all, the Miyoshi family is still stubbornly continuing on Shikoku Island, and there is still a long way to go before it is completely wiped out.

Mino's Saito family was completely blown out of the lamp and pulled out the wax, and the last one when the lord Saito Ryuko was stopped on the river by Hite-sue when he fled, I don't know if Nobunaga imprisoned him or killed him, in short, it was impossible to turn the tables. Therefore, old ministers such as Inaba, Anten, and the clan can be trusted.

Three good but different. The nominal lord Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is now a follower of Ashikaga and Oda, and the three people who once held great power have each fallen, but Shinohara Nagabo of Shikoku has established Nagaji, the son of Miyoshi Yoshiken, and has integrated the forces of Awa, Sanuki, and Awaji under the banner of separation, and can organize 20,000 to 30,000 troops at any time, and is still a player to be ignored on the Fuso chessboard.

Tie Tsunohide had to consider the possibility: in case there is a trend of revival of the Miyoshi family in the future, will the old ministers who have broken the thread return one after another? How much damage will it cause to yourself when the time comes?

"Iwanari Yutong, ah......" Fan Xiu shook his head and sighed lightly, "I did put some effort into hoping to gain his allegiance, but I am not completely sure whether it will be effective so far, let alone make other retainers have confidence in him." ”

Fan Xiu explained the delicate status of Miyoshi Shoyasu in this way, as for the matter of letting Miyoshi Masasu go, he felt that in front of Ah Dog, there was no need to mention it for the time being.

"Well, it does sound like a lot of trouble." Ah Dog frowned and thought about it, as if he really wanted to help share some of the pressure as "Sister Gui Die" said. It's just that she is not Sister Guidie after all, she tilted her little head and thought about it for a while, but she couldn't come up with any good ideas, and finally just replied weakly:

"Na...... If the concubine says something wrong, please forgive me. Whether there is any way to let Iwanari carry out any plan alone is a test. If he succeeds, the retainers will feel that he is reliable and trust him. If it doesn't go well, you can also expose its dissenting heart in advance to avoid future troubles. ”

Looking at her anxious eyes, Fan Xiu didn't feel it. smiled: "How can it be so easy!" If a task is deliberately arranged to be clearly used to 'test loyalty', anyone with a discerning eye can see that this will not work at all, and will only laugh and be generous. Unless there is just such an opportunity, go with the flow. ”

"That's right...... Sure enough, it doesn't work......" A dog added a thin layer of red mist to his face, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

Fan Xiu seemed to suddenly think of something, suddenly raised his head, and patted his thigh gently.

"Speaking of Miyoshi's old ministers, I actually received a related letter from the messenger of the Oda family this morning. It's just that I was looking to see the big ship of the Southern Barbarians at that time, and I didn't have time to dismantle ......."

With this muttering, he took out the secret letter from the hidden pocket in the middle of his clothes, according to his memory.

"This, shouldn't the concubine be avoided......" Ah Dog looked at Fanxiu's attitude of not taking things seriously, and looked a little cramped and uneasy.

"What are you thinking about?" Fan Xiu reclined and shook his head, "Do you still need to prevent your own family from failing?" Moreover, there was no signal on the envelope that it was 'confidential'. ”

But he thought to himself: If there is really something that is not suitable for his family to see, he will not let you know at all.

But these words can calm down the dog, and he smiled happily, and it was worth it.

The letter, as expected by Honhide, contained the latest news from Shikoku.

As always, there is not much difference from before, nominally the son of Miyoshi Yoshiken Nagaji is the governor of the family, and the son of Shikawa Ichicun is supplemented by Cunbao, but in fact, these two children are in the hands of Shinohara Nagabo. Miyoshi Changyi, the former leader of the three, is suspected of being under house arrest, and the specific circumstances cannot be found for the time being.

It can be assumed that this unjustifiable way of ruling should have caused a great deal of discontent, but the Oda family had no roots in Shikoku and could not take advantage of the internal contradictions of the enemy.

At the same time, the letter also touched on some situations further afield. Miyoshi, who is also an enemy of Oda, has reached a certain level of alliance with the remnants of Bizen Urakami, Harima Akamatsu and Tajima Sana, and Mori, the strongest in the western country, has firmly expressed his support for Oda, who has a daimyo, so this alliance has attracted Mori's old enemy, Kyushu's powerful friends to confront, and Nobunaga is ready to incite the rising Hizen Ryuzoji family to attack Otomo from the rear.

is worthy of being the center of the world, and the afterreaction surrounding the Battle of Joraku affected the entire western half of Fuso. (The eastern side was less affected due to the presence of the Kamakura Princesses and the Kanto Prefecture.) ）

This kind of chaos is also reflected in those small forces in Shikoku, except for the three good. Kono, Utsunomiya pro-Maori, Ichijo, and Saionji are close friends, and the two sides are gearing up for a big fight.

When Hirate Honshu saw this, he remembered the Tosa "Himewako" Nagasamune of the retainer named Ichijo. Now this man does not seem to have risen yet, and the letter only says that he is a "powerful countryman" with thousands of troops. Since it is the right time, maybe this future hero can create a little pressure on the side of the Miyoshi family.

It should have looked like a very ordinary letter, but at the end, an explosive message suddenly popped up, which was shocking.

The text even mentions the "Awaji Uchio" that Nobunaga had talked about before.

If Fan Xiu's eyes are not broken, the original meaning seems to be to say that the identity of Neiying is Ataka Shinyasu.

However, didn't this guy Nobuyasu Otaku inherit his father's position and serve as the general of Awaji Ichigoku?

If he wants to surrender, he just comes over in person, which door should he do?

Could it be that this person has been hollowed out? That makes sense. However, there is no mention of this in the article.

On the other hand, it is even more worth speculating as to why Nobunaga only put such important news in an ordinary letter. What exactly did he think? The "Sixth Heaven Demon King" may have negative factors such as impatience, brutality, and rebelliousness in his personality, but his IQ is very high, so he will not have such negligence.

Then there may be other hints in it.

Fanxiu's expression remained unchanged, but he concentrated a little more, and read the two pages of the letter back and forth several times.

Then he slowly tasted the taste, and an expression of confidence began to appear on his face.

Then, Pingshou Fan Xiu looked up at his wife, who was silent, motionless, and didn't dare to disturb him, reached out and patted her cheek, and said with a smile: "It seems that I can do it according to the strategy you said today, so I will send Iwashiro Youtong to carry out this task alone and see how it works!" ”
