Chapter 11 Is It Concerning Yourself?

In what year did the Battle of Barrel Narrows take place?

Most players of Taiko or Shinno can clearly tell that it was 1560 AD. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But what about the era name at the time?

I'm afraid there are far fewer people who can answer.

With Fanxiu's memory, I can only barely remember that it was about a certain year of Yonglu.

Is it the second year of Yonglu, or the third year, or the fourth year?

As for the specific month, it is even less clear.

The only thing that is certain is that the present time is April of the second year of Yonglu.

It seems that the best way to do this is to ask the merchants who were doing business with the Nanbans, and match the current calendar with the A.D. year of the later generations.

When I was young, I always felt that the future was long, and I only focused on how to prevent my father Masahide from committing suicide. I didn't want to count the years for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, it was already in the Yonglu period, and I suddenly thought that this big war was coming.

Although according to history, the Oda family won this game, but the danger is conceivable.

After leaving Kita-Omi, Fan Xiu was always in a state of distraction, and it was not until he saw the castle tower of Cheongju Castle that he came back to his senses.

"This is Cheongju City."

Honhide introduced Marume Nagae and Kawada Nagami behind him.

The envoy to the shallow well,Just to show goodwill,There is no fixed task.,After meeting Akao Kiyozuna.,The rest of the days are all about a retreat to the mountains and rivers.。

The results of the mission can only be described as unsatisfactory. Kenmasa Asai and Kiyotsuna Akao are both friendly, but the Haibei Tsunade who has no good impression of the Oda family is closed to the door at all, and he can't even see each other, even if he has a three-inch tongue, he is useless. After all, it was an unannounced visit, and it was not appropriate to alarm too widely, so I had to give up.

I just walked to the city, and I haven't entered the city to report, but I saw the sixth brother of the Maeda Toshi family, Sakyo Ryoyuki, rushing out in a hurry, with a worried face.

"Fujihachiro (Yoshiyuki's common character)!" Fan Xiu called out to stop him, "Running out in such a hurry...... Could it be that something is going on in the city? ”

"Brother Zhizuo is back?" Seeing the visitor, the gloom on Ryoyuki's face dropped a little, "Maybe only you and Niwa Hall can persuade you!" The Lord Justice was angry in the city and said that he would kill the fourth brother! Fortunately, he was pulled by Shibata Temple, otherwise he ......"

Sakyo Yoshiyuki's fourth brother, isn't it Maeda Toshi's family? What did he do?

Fan Xiu's heart suddenly remembered the anecdote that was about to be forgotten.

"Why did you anger the lord?" Fan Xiu asked tentatively.

"Brother...... He killed the lord's little surname Ten Ami! "There was some dryness in Liangzhi's throat.

And so it was.

At first, when he was in Cheongju Castle, Fan Xiu also deliberately tried to test the matter of Ten Ami, hoping to make amends. But after all, it's not about me, and when I have a lot of complicated things, I forget about it.

"When was it?"

"It's this morning, and it hasn't been long before ......"

"Where is he now?" Fan Xiu asked again.

"The fourth brother also regrets it now, and went out of the city to the east." Ryoyuki stretched out his finger and pointed, "I was just going to talk to Niwa Hall about this matter......"

"To the east, the habit of Uchizosuke (Sasa Naimasa) will definitely leave Matsuzuo in Hira Castle." Fan Xiu calmed down instead, "The lord must be furious now, and no one will advise him, but it will be ......."

"How?"

"Even if the lord regrets it in the future, he will lose face and will never take back the order to kill!"

"That'...... What should I do? Ryoyuki's face turned pale.

"You don't have to visit Niwa Hall anymore, just go and ask Mrs. Guidie and Mrs. Yoshino (Nobunaga's favorite side room) to intercede, and then take Amatsu out and discuss it again when you get to Hira Castle!"

Sakyo thanked him, and Honhide reluctantly turned to look at Marume and Kawada.

"The first time I came to Owari, I encountered this kind of thing, and I'm afraid the Oda family is not as stable as the two of you thought!"

………………

The Sasa clan began with the Sasaki Rokkaku family, and began with the father of Seimasa, the head of the company, Oda. The three sons of Seimune, Nariyoshi, Seiketsu, and Narumasa were all famous generals of Owari, and the Sasa clan also became one of the top families under Oda.

In the past few years, the appearance of Sasa's Home City has not changed compared to a few years ago.

It's a colleague for many years, and the other party is a good person, so if this kind of thing happens, it's still time to take a look.

He first went to Kiyosu to meet Oda Nobunaga, and then on the way back, he happened to meet Matsui Yukan, so he ordered Marume and Kawada to go back with him, and he went straight to Hira Castle.

Leading the horse into the city, facing the government is already heard of the wind.

"He's here?" Tsuyosu spits out only the simplest words.

"Yes!" Cheng Zheng is obviously preoccupied.

"What does Hayato think?" Fan Xiu asked.

The so-called Hayato Masa, refers to the eldest brother of Narumasa, the head of the Sasa family, Hayato Masashi Nariyoshi. In the current Sasa family, Cheng Zheng is not in charge, and the real master is his brother, and it seems that his opinion should be considered if he wants to take in a friend who has offended the lord.

"There is no need to worry about the left, if the elder brother agrees, how can the left enter the city of Biliang." Cheng Zheng raised his head, and his focus was obviously not here.

"I see." Fan Xiu nodded, "However, hiding here is not a long-term solution......"

"It's a long time coming, let's think about it."

At this time, there was a rapid roar outside.

"What are you talking about so much, let's go in first!"

Except for Maeda Toshiya, the only one who broke in without reporting was Ikeda Tsuneko, who was followed by a few young samurai he had known before.

When he saw the tie, Ikeda Hengxing's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange look, and it was fleeting. Although Fanxiu swept his eyes, he didn't have time to think about it.

"Katsuzaburo is from Cheongju Castle? What does Your Highness say? Sasa Narumasa showed a rare anxiety on his face.

"I said I was going to expel Youzuo from the Oda family!"

Cheng Zheng's face became more and more gloomy, sighed lightly, and turned around and led Fan Xiu into the hall.

Maeda Toshiya sat cross-legged in the side compartment, his face pale and his eyes blank, and on the table in front of him was a teapot that had never been touched.

"Left again!" Cheng Zheng called softly.

"Oh." Li Jia slowly raised his head, "Jinzuo is also ......" as if to show that he had not lost his temper, and he unconsciously raised the teapot and poured it on the table.

"Left again!" Cheng Zheng unconsciously raised his voice, and the Li family was stunned before he suddenly put down the teapot.

"I ......"

"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Hengxing suddenly came out from behind Fan Xiu and Cheng Zheng, his eyes full of resentment that hatred of iron and steel, "What a bastard the ten ami boys, it's not like you haven't seen it!" ”

"Yes...... "The Li family smiled dismally, "It's a pity ......"

"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more." Fan Xiu interrupted him softly, "It's just that in the future, if the lord refuses to understand......

"In that case, you're going to get out of here!" Hengxing shouted, "Is it from Tokaido to Kanto, or from Isewan to......"

"Could it be that Katsuzaburo wants me to move to another family?" The Li family's expression changed slightly, and his voice finally rose a little.

"What else?" Hengxing rolled his eyes, "Do you want to starve to death in Owari?" ”

The Li family bowed their heads and remained silent, and the three people around them stopped talking.

"I won't betray the Oda family." Halfway through, the Li family still shook his head, and his voice was soft but unquestionable, "If the lord refuses to forgive me, I'd rather cut my stomach in front of Cheongju City!" ”

There was a suppressed silence.

"Left, you're already a family man." Fan Xiu said softly, and then sat down on the seat.

"Just a few days ago, the news came from the bed, and Mrs. Asong already has the joy of breeding pearls." Cheng Zheng stepped forward and said to Fan Xiu, as if reminding the Li family.

"Then I...... How? "The tone of the Rika is a little higher.

"Recently, the four realms have been leveled, and I have nothing to do, and I am studying Chinese books at home." Cheng Zheng said slowly, "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a general named Zhang Qian, because of the defeat of the war, demoted to the common people, a few years later, he led 300 people to the Western Regions, the countries were intimidated by it, and it was passed down as a good story for the ages......"

"Neizangsuke means ......" The spirit of the Li family is slightly uplifted.

"Now my lord knows people, and he is better than Emperor Wu, and he is as talented as Zhang Qian." Cheng Zheng continued. As for whether the words are true or not, leave it alone for the time being.

"Yes, soon the Oda family will be going to crusade against Mino, and you're afraid that there will be no chance to attack?" Hengxing also understood.

At this time, Sakyo Xie had already walked in with Atsu.

A new woman, Ah Song, was still beautiful, but she was a little more mature and gentle, she was dressed in a light yellow kimono, and her hem was covered with dust, obviously in a hurry.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old young woman, her lower abdomen has risen slightly, her face is still immature, but her expression is much calmer than that of the Li family, who is at a loss, after entering the door, she only whispered hello to the Li family, and then turned around and bowed deeply to the rest.

"My grandson has suffered such a heinous disaster, thanks to you that he has been exempted from the punishment of the lord, Ah Song is grateful, and he doesn't know how to repay it."

"However, now that the situation is unclear, I can only ask you to help again."

"Don't worry, we've got everything covered!" Hengxing didn't seem to be able to see Ah Song's pitiful appearance, so he immediately took it all down, and stared at the Li family with resentment.

At this time, the Li family had already stood up, and his face was bloody: "As long as the war resumes in the future, I can take down the head of the Imagawa or Saito family, and I think I will be able to atone." He looked at Amatsu beside him, then turned his head and continued, "I can't stay in Owari at the moment, I heard that the Imagawa family is about to move in Mikawa recently, so I decided to go immediately, as for Amatsu, it depends on everyone's ......."

"Your Excellency." Ah Song called softly, but it happened to block the words of the Li family, "Since marrying into the martial family, the concubine has long understood the responsibility of being the wife of the martial family. The voice was soft, but it could not be refuted.

The Li family was stunned when he heard this, and opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, and finally nodded.

When everyone in the hall was at a loss, Fan Xiu's mind thought of elsewhere.

Indeed, as Sasa Ikeda said, with Oda Nobunaga's character, as long as Maeda Toshiie has made enough merits, there is a good chance that he will be forgiven.

According to historical developments, it seems that it was only after three or four years that Maeda found such an opportunity to return to the Oda family.

But for now, there is a chance that Honhide will help him shorten the process - if he kills Imagawa Yoshimoto in the barrel room, will it be considered a big credit?

I already know the time and place, and I received Hattori Koheita under the account, and I also asked for Mori Shinsuke from Nobunaga, as long as I pay attention deliberately, I am afraid that this credit will not be able to run out of the hands of Tie Tsuki.

If Hirate was a selfless saint who sacrificed himself for others, he would definitely give this credit to the Maeda Toshiya and fulfill his wish to return to the Oda family.

It's just that the tie in reality doesn't seem to be such a person.

In all fairness, the heart of Honxiu's fame is much less than that of ordinary samurai, but less does not mean that there is none.

If Sasa is replaced, Tsunohide will most likely help, but Maeda ...... Although there is some friendship, it is just a friendship between colleagues.

How?

Fan Xiu hesitated for a moment.
