Tokugawa Ieyasu's words made the young Honda Masamune admire him to the ground, and in his opinion, being loyal under such a daimyo should be the greatest dream of every samurai. Welcome to the reading

"Lord, although this trick kills three birds with one stone, but if you let Otawara Masaaki go, it may bring unnecessary trouble to the family." Honda Masasumi was a little worried: "If he arrives in Fushimi and tells the Ufu what happened to the Edo family, it will inevitably be another chaos, and the Otata clan's takeover of the Ota Hara domain will also be blocked by the Gojo Clan, and at that time, Ishida Jibu may not be firmly on the side of the main family." ”

"The old man let that kid go, but he wanted to take this opportunity to test Fushimi's attitude, to see if he dared to do something to the old man, after you said this, it seems that there is really some trouble, okay, Masashi, you send a ninja to secretly follow Otawara Masakiyo, and when he enters the territory of the Nakamura family, it will be solved on the spot; As for Shimono, pass on my message to the four families of Otari, Seki, Sano, and Narita, and let them act together to try to destroy the Otawara clan as quickly as possible, after all, it is only a small Mizuguchi Castle, and I believe that they will be able to do it without realizing it; After the matter was completed, he ordered the name of Otahara Kiyotai to be named Otahara Taiqing, and inherit the Otawara clan as the second son of Harukiyo, as for the original 7,000 stone Zhixing, after the matter was completed, Daseki, Sano, and Narita each received 1,000 stones, and the remaining 4,000 stones belonged to Qingtai, so much for the time being, you should hurry up and arrange it. Tokugawa Ieyasu was also a little tired, and went back to Honmaru with a yawn.

On November 18, with the hatred of killing his father and the resentment of the seizure of the territory, Otawara Masashi rushed to the castle town of Omiya Castle in Suruga Province. Due to the exhaustion of entanglements, as early as before crossing Mount Hakone, Masaaki reluctantly expelled the two retainers who followed him; When they arrived at Xingguo Temple, two more retainers were willing to be sold to local wealthy families in exchange for entangled goods for Zhengqing to continue to Shangluo; So, when he arrived at Omiyagi, there was only one retainer left to accompany him, and there was no way, so Masaaki had to ask the appointed Suruga chief acting official Ashishiki for help.

As early as three years ago, when the Shogen Trinity was held, the Asharai clan had followed the Omori clan to resist Hideho's crusading army, but at the last moment, Asharai Yoshiken personally cut off the head of Omori Jicho and handed it to Hideho, which saved the Asharai family, and after the war, out of the consideration of stabilizing Suruga and balancing the Nakamura clan, Hidebo appointed Asharai Yoshizen as the deputy acting officer of Suruga, "assisting" Nakamura Kazushi to manage Suruga. After that, Ashihari Yoshishi first obeyed Hideho, and Hideho also increased his support for the Ashihari clan, and gradually set aside Nakamura Kazushi as the chief acting officer. With the return of Nakamura's knowledge of the current affairs of the king, the knowledge and action of Ashihari Yoshisen also reached an unprecedented 50,000 stones, successfully completed the transformation from a wealthy family to a daimyo, and was recommended by Hideho to officially replace Nakamura Ichishi as the chief acting official of Suruga Province.

As a real Toyotomi faction, I heard that Otawara Masaaki was blocked from going on the road to meet Hideho because of the entanglement problem, and I suddenly remembered an idea to please Hideho, that is, to entertain Masaaki with good food and drink, and provide him with sufficient entanglement, of course, this is a premise, that is, to say something good for himself in front of Hidebo, if it goes well, maybe he can get a half-official position.

ps: There is something to do today, 2,000 words tomorrow.
