Taiyuan Xuezhai's complexion changed several times, and finally he had to kneel down and say: "Mo Long Gong, Ah Mei is a ninja arranged by the family, but the family has never ordered her to poison Mo Long Gong's diet. "With the current ability of the ninjas under the command of Ashikaga Molong, it is not difficult to find out the origin of a maid, not to mention catching the maid herself, and letting her speak is even more of a piece of cake. The Imagawa family's ninja system has always been controlled by Taiyuan Xuesai, so he can't escape this matter, so he simply took the Imagawa clan to directly find Ashikaga Molong to admit his mistake, and if he wants to kill or chop, the Imagawa family can't hide. After all, it's not three years ago, when the Tsukahara Demon Dragon has just conquered the land of the Three Kingdoms, and the Imagawa family has just failed to go to Luo, and their vitality is greatly damaged, and in the face of a behemoth with a stone height that is four times their own, Taiyuan Xuezhai is also very helpless.

Ashikaga Molong couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and he almost rolled on the ground with laughter, and it took a long time to stop, and he laughed playfully: "I know, that cup is not poisonous at all, otherwise it would be the two of you who are cooking in the pot." ”

Imagawa's body couldn't help but tremble and tremble, and he looked at Ashikaga Molong in fear, and then at Taiyuan Xuesai, after all, he had just taken the position, and he really didn't know anything about the intelligence system, but now I'm afraid that he can't be good. Taiyuan Xuezhai showed joy in his eyes, and immediately said: "In order to apologize, we are willing to offer the 30,000 stone territory west of the Royal Horse Farm." "This is equivalent to 30,000 stones in the land of Izu, which is exactly what Ashikaga Molong gave to the Imagawa family when the Kojin Alliance, and now these territories are returned, not only to complete the land of the Nine Kingdoms for Ashikaga Molong, but also to hope that Ashikaga Molong can remember the old feelings of the year and let go of the Imagawa family.

Ashikaga Molong shook his head and said something that made the soles of Taiyuan Xuesai's feet cold: "Back then, the Kai assassination, your Imagawa family also participated, right?" Therefore, the 30,000 koku is not enough, I want the Junto and Fuji counties of Suruga, and the castle of Pushan ceded to me, and you can keep the gold mountain for yourself. ”

"This ......" Taiyuan Xuesai's forehead gradually appeared fine cold sweat, Ashikaga Molong wants the area of Jundong County and Fuji County accounts for almost half of the entire Suruga country, although among the seven counties of Suruga, the land of ointment is in the other five counties, but Jundong County and Fuji County are the barrier of the entire Imagawa family, its meaning is equivalent to Liaodong to the Ming Dynasty, although the output is not much, but once it falls into the hands of others, it will not take a day, the Ashikaga army can come to Sunfu! It is precisely because of the extreme importance of these two counties that the Imagawa family and the Hojo family have been engaged in a tug-of-war here all the year round for this reason, which is known as the tragic battle of the Hedong Rebellion, until the Ogiya Uesugi family and the Hojo family turned against each other, and in order not to suffer from the enemy, the Hojo family withdrew from the competition for the two counties.

Seeing Taiyuan Yukisai's embarrassed appearance, Ashikaga Molong couldn't help but sneer, "You should be very aware of the fact that Takeda Harunobu colluded with the Imagawa family's retainers while the Imagawa family was weak in order to fight me, right?" Moreover, the Takeda family could not expand to the east and north, so it was not impossible to unite with the Oda family to divide the three kingdoms of Tokaido. These two counties are in my hands, and the way to the south of the Takeda family has been cut off, and you can also concentrate on dealing with the threat of the Oda family. At that time, I will garrison 5,000 standing troops in Pushan Castle, and if someone from the Imagawa family dares to oppose Shizhen, I don't mind slaughtering Junfu. Of course, Ashikaga Molong wouldn't care about that Kai assassination, but as long as it could be used as a cover, he still didn't have to mind.

A big guy of this level of Taiyuan Xuezhai can naturally see what Ashikaga Molong said, but he still can't pass his own level, after all, the rise of the Imagawa family can be said to be inseparable from him, but this kind of thing about putting a rope around the neck of the Imagawa family is still too cruel for him, so he is still silent.

Ashikaga Molong turned his head to look at Imagawa Shin, who didn't dare to speak since he came, "The grudge between your father and me is a matter between the two of us, and you are my disciple, and I won't let you suffer." The Imagawa family was originally a pattern of weak lords and strong ministers, and after the failure of Yoshimoto Shangluo, the standing reserve directly under the governor of the family was also heavily injured, all supported by the master of Taiyuan Xuezhai, but now you can also see that the master is terminally ill, and in the future, my Ashikaga Molong will be your biggest backer! ”

"Thank you for your support!" The Imagawa clan shouted excitedly, he is indeed the governor of the Imagawa family, but a weak monarch like him, if there is no strong reinforcement, it is not uncommon for him to be deposed by the retainers one day, but it is another thing to have Ashikaga Molong to give him a platform, and whoever dares to touch him will be a slap in the face of Ashikaga Molong. Originally, from the perspective of the overall interests of the Imagawa family, if Jundong and Fuji were really handed over to Ashikaga Moryu, the defense posture of Suruga Province would deteriorate sharply, and the best option was to move the main city, such as to Inima Castle in Enoe Province, which was located in the center of the Three Kingdoms, which could not only get the support of Ashikaga Molong, but also facilitate the gathering of troops to suppress the rebellion of the people of Mikawa Province and the possible eastward crusade of the Oda family. Of course, moving the castle has always been a big trouble, and the most slippery thing in history was Oda Nobunaga, who moved the castle from Cheongshu in Owari to Komakiyama Castle, which was closer to the front line, and then moved from the foundation of Owari to Inabayama Castle in Mino, and finally moved directly to Kannonji Castle in Omi, which was not only conducive to the conquest of the Quartet, but more importantly, to minimize the influence of the samurai clan where he started, and recruit subordinates on a larger scale, so as to achieve the purpose of winning over the hearts and minds of the people and digesting the territory. At this point, whether it is Takeda Shingen or Uesugi Kenshin in history, including Mori Motosatsu, Hojo Shiyasu, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, these powerful forces that originally had the hope of winning the world failed to take this step in the end. After the death of Takeda Shingen, the conflict between the Shinano generals and the Kai faction became increasingly intensified, and when Oda Nobunaga attacked Shinano, most of the wealthy clans surrendered; Uesugi Kenshin has been conquering the east and west all his life, and Echichu, Ueno, and even Noto, Kaga and other countries have been conquered by her, but she has never been able to jump out of the circle of the Echigo samurai regiment, and has been squatting in Kasuga Mountain Castle. Not to mention the Maori Yuan, the entire Maori family once achieved the hegemony of the Ten Kingdoms and the world, but it has always relied on the old foundation of An Yiguo, and the wealthy families around the country are outside the ruling core, and the entire Maori family is like a loose alliance, which can only dominate the world, but it can never win the world! In the end, he was pressed and beaten by the strength of a legion of Hashiba Hideyoshi, and every time he went out with pride, he almost returned in vain because of internal problems. Hojo Shiyasu is even more so, squatting and dying in Odawara Castle, if he has the courage to move the city to Edo Castle or Kawagoe Castle, gradually counteract the influence of the Izu Sagami samurai, and attract the powerful of other countries into the core layer, it may not be without hope of unifying the Kanto.

Therefore, Ashikaga Molong has continued to accept wealthy samurai from all over the world into his own power from the very beginning, such as Toki Yoriri, who originally served in the Satomi family, Mizutani Masakimura of Shimono Country, Sugatani Masada, Kohata Kenshige and Nagano Yoshimasa of Ueno Country, Ota Shimasa of Musashi Country, and Hojo Tsunanari of the Hojo family, these will become a member of the inner circle under the command of Ashikaga Molong, and these people are the spokesmen of their local powerful forces, with them, Ashikaga Molong's ability to control the territory and the speed of digestion will be greatly enhanced!
