For these retainers who are over half a hundred years old and have been on the battlefield for a long time, intrigue and trickery have long been commonplace, as the so-called soldiers will block, water will cover the earth, as long as it is a problem, there is always a solution, but this time, they are a little at a loss

"In just three years of hard work, the right house has grown into a towering tree, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is now completely to the extent that it can compete with the main family, and even Ishida Jibu can't help him" Okubo Tadashi said listlessly, "Now that the family is surrounded by his henchmen, every move will not escape the eyes of the law, and in the long run, I am afraid that I will really be caught."

Honda Masanobu nodded approvingly, and said with emotion: "Now the daimyo of more than 200,000 stone in the eastern country, except for the Honjia Date family and the Hori family, the rest are all more or less inclined to the right house, even the two sons-in-law of the lord, too..."

"Are you my old man, who has already betrayed his relatives?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked with an expression on his face

"The minister lost his words, and begged the lord to forgive his sins" Honda Masanobu hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, but Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled happily: "If the old man panics because of this little thing, wouldn't it be the same as you?" The so-called situation is not optimistic, how could the old man not think of it, but it is not as panicked as you"

When Okubo and Honda heard this, they immediately raised their heads, looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu in surprise and expectation, and asked urgently, "Could it be that the lord has already made a bamboo in his chest?" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and replied, "The old man has been operating in the Kanto region for so many years, how can his right house be defeated at will?" If you think about it carefully, these daimyo who fell to the right house, how many of them are sincere followers of him, take the old man's two sons-in-law, Gamo Hideyuki and the right house are called brothers and sisters on the surface, but what do you actually think, but I can guess that ** is not far from ten, it is not just that he wants to climb the high branches of the right house and restore the previous 900,000 stone territory, if the old man promises him that once he takes over the world, he will transfer the territory of Uesugi to him, what do you think he will do? As for His Royal Highness Ikeda, after all, he was just provoked by a traitor, and he was dizzy for a while, and after a while, I believe that it should not be a problem for you to go to persuade him on my behalf, so I will wait to take down the Gamo family and let His Royal Highness Hideyuki go out, these two people are now wearing a pair of pants, and they will definitely be able to deal with it properly."

"As for Asano and Mogami, he said that he was the father-in-law of the right house, but in essence, he was just using him, and with this relationship, one re-entered the core of the Five Missions, and one obtained the coveted territory, which is what they care about, the so-called' Loyalty does not exist between them and the right house, but any problem that can be solved by power and land interests is not a problem in my opinion of Ieyasu, according to this concept, Fukushima Masanori of Kita-Ueno and Sanada Masayuki of Shinano can turn enemies into friends Ieyasu feels that these people can be used, but they cannot be deeply friends, they can promise power and territory, but they must not touch the core of the rule, and only the daimyo and retainers who are grateful to their own family and full of loyalty can share power and glory with Ieyasu, and you two are such people."

After that, Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed slightly, which flattered Okubo Loyal Neighbor and Honda Masanobu, and the two hurriedly bowed down, and said gratefully: "Wechen is sincerely afraid, how can He De get such trust from you, please rest assured, no matter how the general trend of the world changes in the future, the minister will be loyal to his family until death!" ”

"You are serious," Ieyasu smiled heartily: "These words Ieyasu has always been hidden in his heart, but you are arrogant and dare not say it easily, now in such a situation, let you understand what Ieyasu thinks, it is not impossible Ai Zhengxin is right, it's time to plan for the future, while these daimyo have not yet died to follow the right house, the family must start first, otherwise it will really become the right house's meal"

Hearing Tokugawa Ieyasu say this, Okubo Tadashi's scalp suddenly tingled, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks and fell on his collar, and the old man asked in an incredulous tone: "My lord, are you going to attack the right house?!" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded, and Naidao: "I thought that using this matter in Osaka could weaken the boudoir led by Kitamassho and Lady Yodo, overthrow the Maeda Toshiya, and achieve a comprehensive advantage over the right house from Sakuraku to Hokuriku, but I didn't expect things to develop to such a point, and now it is impossible to suppress the right government through the five commissions and the five old systems, so I can only take other means to solve this big problem."

"Other means? Do you want to be a soldier?! Honda Masanobu couldn't help but gasp: "This is a big risk, Ai You also said it, now that the family is under enemy on all sides, I am afraid that there is little chance of winning at this time."

"I'm sure you're right, but the family is in a bad situation, so the old man decided to hand over this mission of leading the army to the daimyo who was in a good situation," Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled

"You're trying to incite other daimyo to raise troops?" Honda Masanobu was a little skeptical and questioned: "Except for this family, who has such prestige and strength to challenge the Right House, and even if there is, I am afraid that it will be wiped out by the Right House and his henchmen, right?" ”

"You're right, once there is an opposition force appearing, the Right Mansion will definitely send troops to show his authority as an afterthought, if it is suppressed before it sets off a big wave, then there is no point in these scapegoats' raising troops, but think about it, if this battle becomes a protracted war, a tug-of-war, or even a victory or defeat, will the daimyo who supported the Right Mansion still stick around him, and will his prestige be as solid as before it was launched?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked rhetorically

Honda Masanobu does not seem to be optimistic about these potential scapegoats: "In the current situation, it seems that there is no second daimyo who can fight a protracted war with the Right Mansion except for the main family, and Wetomi believes that even the Chinese Mori family, the Uesugi family in Aizu, will not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Right House for more than a month."

Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed slightly: "That's right, these two families are not capable of taking the lead alone, but the old man doesn't expect them to be able to tie with the right government for a month, as long as they can hold out for ten days, the old man can raise troops in the name of 'Qingjun side' or 'mediation', quickly raid the rear of the right house, and attack them back and forth, at that time, he is still worried that he can't force the right house to retreat and let him compromise?" Once he compromises, the majesty that ensues, and you can imagine the impact of this."

"Intervene in the battle as an intermediary, even if it is defeated, the right government has something to say; If he is defeated, then it is logical to replace him and occupy the world! Honda Masanobu shouted excitedly, "The wisdom of the lord, the truth is really not as good as what if" to be continued
