Chapter 20: Setting up the bait

"The most evil in the world" Matsunaga Shu and the most famous traitor in history, Akechi Mitsuhide, will there be any special feeling with such people? At least in the eyes of Tieshou Honxiu, these two people are quite similar, for example, they are both famous and elegant people, and they are both military generals who are good at wit and power and are not good at step-by-step...... There is also the word "show" in the name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Standing between these two people, I only feel that the atmosphere is treacherous and changeable, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable.

Maybe it's deeply influenced by public opinion, or maybe it's intentional, in short, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, and other typical Kanto samurai, when they hear the words "Matsunaga Danmasa", they will subconsciously show a disgusted expression. And the wise Mitsuhide, who was born in the shogunate and has a luxurious and graceful temperament, is also difficult to share with those Owari people. So the things in charge of contact are all handled by Hinote Honxiu.

According to Fan Xiu's temperament, although he can't get close to Matsunaga Xiu, he won't avoid snakes and scorpions. From the perspective of future generations, the world-famous Kenshin Uesugi and the most evil Matsunaga Shu are both the same warlords, but the former pays special attention to fame, while the latter only cares about practical profits.

In early spring, the southern shore of Lake Biwa is still cold and windy, but it is particularly sobering, and Hirate Hidahide looks around and sees Matsunaga still looking at the scenery of with a simple face, while Akechi Mitsuhide gently taps his fingers on the beat, as if brewing a new haiku or waka. Just looking at the appearance of these two people, they look like noble sons who traveled together in the Heian period. If you ignore the fifty or sixty guards sneaking around on the left and right, you won't be able to find the posture of the warriors of the troubled times at all.

Kyoto people act in such a style, but Hisho Tsunohide is not disgusted, so he bowed to the two with a smile and said: "This five kingdoms of Kinai really deserve to be the place where the imperial court is located, and it has opened the eyes of me, a country samurai!" I finally understand why the Kokumori during the legal period did not want to go to a distant country and stay in Kyoto. ā€

"Ahaha, if the equal-handed supervisor is also a countryman, then the old man is an illiterate old peasant." Matsunaga smiled heartily and laughed at himself. This demeanor, in the eyes of the tie Honshu, is a bit similar to the rough Shibata Katsuya. It's a pity that this person's reputation is already too loud, no matter how much he pretends to be harmless, it is in vain!

Akechi Mitsuhide also gently held the reins and leaned over, and said with a light smile: "Most of the people of Owari are honest and kind, and the scenery is also quite wild, and compared with the glitz of Kyoto, they also have their own strengths. ā€

"Oh, if Wise Lady wants to come to Owari Province, he will be waiting for him."

"The elegant residence of the Flat Prison Hall is really desirable. However, the world is undecided, and I am afraid that you and I do not have such leisure! ā€

"Such a good country naturally attracts thieves to covet it, and we and other martial artists want to send love to the landscape, but they really lack skills!" Matsunaga was so emotional, as if he didn't know that he himself was an important member of the so-called "thieves" in the hearts of the world.

With these words, the wise and the flat can't help but feel that it is too much, and they can only admire Matsunaga's acting skills. They looked at each other, smiled, and were silent for a moment, and then Matsunaga Shu pulled away from the topic.

"For more than ten years, and now that I have met the two highnesses, the old man feels that he has met a confidant."

"Oh...... Where does this begin? Fan Xiu subconsciously gave birth to a little vigilance in his heart, and it didn't seem to be a good thing to be regarded by Song Yongxiu as a confidant.

"Because we are all people who are good at pressing the stakes and winning big profits with small profits." Matsunaga Xiu did not shy away from saying bluntly, "The old man came from a humble background, and the wise adults are displaced, and if they want to get ahead, they naturally need to do something that ordinary people dare not think of." And what about the Heite Hall - with a counter-strategy, you got rid of Daisuke Imagawa Jibe, and you are also famous all over the world! ā€

Matsunaga was able to entrench in Yamato Banguo by usurping the main family, and Akechi Mitsuhide bet on Ashikaga Yoshiaki and gained a good reputation for support, and Hirate Honhide can also be said to be famous in the first fight......

That's too far-fetched!

Fan Xiu didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so he could only deal with it in a false voice and said, "I'm afraid that Lord Danzheng overestimated the contemptible." I'm just an ordinary general of the Oda family, how dare I compare with the two. Then he glanced sideways at Akezhi, but saw that he was not surprised, as if he had already agreed with Matsunaga.

"At your age, the old man is just a paperwork! You are already the seal of ten thousand stones. Matsunaga's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Lord Gongfang is also full of praise for the Heite Prison Hall, and with the old man's meaning, it seems that there are several duties to consider......

Public? And is it privately? Shogunate service?

This matter smells of conspiracy from the inside out!

The first thought that comes to mind is the other party's means of discord. But this kind of discord is too unintelligent, Matsunaga is not so stupid, so what is the purpose of the other party......

Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's brother, the previous shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, was killed by Matsunaga Hide, and the two should be incompatible! Some time ago, Matsunaga attended the ceremony announced by the shogun, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was very reluctant, even if Akechi Mitsuhide and others tried to mediate, it was only barely peaceful.

It's only been a month or two, when did they make such a close connection in private? Did you hook up again?

"Could it be that Lord Danzheng forgot? He was not a shogun, but a member of the Oda family, so he only had to respect the contempt. Fan Xiu didn't clear his thoughts for a while, so he simply responded like this.

"Oh, the old man was confused for a while, and he lost his words, which is really a sin." Matsunaga smiled and made a sudden realization.

Could it be that he just wanted to show that he had a good relationship with the shogunate?

Fan Xiu was puzzled in his heart, so he could only tear away the topic and say: "I despise Oda Danzheng, I don't know what I entrusted, I don't know ......."

"It's all on the old man!" Matsunaga patted his chest, "The merchants of Kaimachi and Kyoto are all vying to donate money to show their loyalty to the shogunate!" The big names from near and far are also afraid of being absent. ā€

At this time, Tsunehide really felt that Matsunaga was showing his strength, or his value. In the past, he only thought that he was too infamous and offended the princes near and far, but now this guy is trying to repair his connections, wanting to show that he is not alone.

By the way, "Oda Danmasa's entrustment" means that Oda Nobunaga, who is far away in Gifu Castle, does not know which nerve he has moved to match the marriage between Ashikaga and Miyoshi, and the younger sister of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who is now the princess, will marry Miyoshi Yoshitsugu immediately.

This was supposed to be in the planning stage, but it was not yet made public, but I don't know who it went through, but it was once transmitted from to Shikoku.

As for what kind of political deal is behind this, that is not what Hiseru is concerned about now, he only hopes to take this opportunity to attract the remnants of the Miyoshi clan and achieve the effect of static braking.

Judging from the fact that the other side has not taken action so far, this strategy works. It's not so much that the enemy is deceived, but that the bait is too tasty to make them want to try their luck knowing that it might be a trap. (To be continued.)
