After speaking for a few paragraphs, Kuaikawa Shaoxi suddenly stopped, and then said to the oldest disciple beside him, "Tiger, for the teacher, I am going to find a quiet place in this place of feathers and concentrate on cultivating Buddha." You are young, but you have done your best, and you will leave on your own after this year. ”

After listening to Kuaikawa Shaoxi's words, the young monk on the side calmed down, and it seemed that he had not yet reacted from Kuaikawa Shaoxi's words. After a long time, the young monk slowly replied, "Master, the disciple is only a shallow learner, and there are still many unclear points, so how about the master continue to keep the disciple by his side?" ”

"As the saying goes, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and what can teach you has been taught by the teacher, and the rest is up to you!" Kuaichuan Shaoxi lovingly touched the bald head of Huya Zongyi, and pressed it with his fingertips at the end, such a round head is really comfortable to touch.

Tiger Zai Zongyi, who is only twelve or thirteen years old this year, has been practicing with Kuaichuan Shaoxi for nearly 10 years. Speaking of Tiger Sob, many people may not have any impression, but if you talk about Date Masamune, the apprentice of Tiger Samune, it is widely known. (I've watched the Taihe drama - the bigwigs of the one-eyed dragon Masamune are quite impressed by the honey-smiling monk, right?) ）

"The disciple has followed the master since he can remember, and although he is not a father and son, he is actually better than a father and son. The disciple is willing to be with the master for a long time, and there is nothing else to think about. Tiger Zai Zongyi looked at Kuaichuan Shaoxi with a sincere face.

Maybe it was Tiger Jong B's sincerity that moved Kuaikawa Shaoxi, or maybe Tiger Tsunabi looked like a person, a person that Kuaikawa Shoki didn't want to think of, and finally Kuaikawa Shoki sighed, "Alas, that's it, let it ........"

......

Early the next morning, Shoki Kuaikawa walked out of Hanamaki Castle under the watchful eyes of Takahashi Xingjia and others, and did not return until late at night. When Takahashi Xingjia and the others couldn't wait to inquire about the outcome of the matter, Sakukawa just smiled, and then stopped talking.

Just when Takahashi Xingjia and others were puzzled, early the next morning, Kuaikawa Shaoxi went to the refugee camp outside the city again.

For five days in a row, Kuaikawa Shaoxi tossed back and forth between Hanamaki City and the refugee camp, although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of Kuaikawa Shaoxi, but the mob outside the city was indeed very calm, and there was no sign of attacking Hanamaki City at all, which made Takahashi Xingjia and others feel a lot more relieved.

On the sixth day, documents from Ueno Castle arrived at Hanamaki Castle along with reinforcements from the Minohe clan and the Hachinohe clan.

When he saw the bright red print on the paperwork, the head of Takahashi Xingjia breathed a sigh of relief, apparently Ueno Castle agreed to the previous proposal of Takahashi Xingjia and others, and decided to accept these refugees. In addition, allowing the Takahashi family to dispatch the troops, grain, and grass of Iwate, Shiba, Waga, Barnyard Kan, Kani, Tono, and the Kunohe Prefecture almost put the burden of pacifying this time into the hands of the Takahashi family.

For the first time, Takahashi felt this feeling of being under a heavy burden.

On the seventh day, Kuaikawa Shaoxi finally did not go to the refugee camp outside the city, but directly found Takahashi Xing's family, "Takahashi-sama, the plan can be carried out as usual." ”

"How did the master convince these monks?" Takahashi Xingjia suddenly asked with some curiosity.

Kuaikawa Shaoxi groaned for a while, and then leaned into the ear of Takahashi Xingjia and said, "The Buddha said: Don't say! After speaking, Kuaichuan Shaoxi raised his head proudly, and returned to the other courtyard with a steady pace to continue the lecture.

Takahashi Xingjia stood in place and scratched his head with an embarrassed expression, "Shouldn't these monks all be polite, talk extraordinary, and give people an unfathomable feeling?" How did you get to Master Shaoxi, but it's the opposite? Can't figure it out! Can't figure it out! Takahashi shook his head, turned and ran towards the castle tower, where there were still a bunch of people waiting.

......

In the castle tower of Hanamaki Castle, the heads of the people of the country, such as Sanhe Harimasa, Shinobuko, Nobuyoshi Hachinohe, Nobunaka Kunohe, Johoji Shigemasa, Fuji Masahide, and other people who belong to the Tsugawa family, sit in the castle tower, and from time to time whisper to each other to discuss two sentences, and when they feel the gaze of the samurai of the Tsugawa family, they hurriedly do it, looking like a good baby.

Minohe Harumasa is obviously a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the hall, you must know that in the past, he was sitting on the main seat, but now he sits in the hall like a retainer, and he is especially at the bottom of the seat, and even the Jofa Temple Shigemasa and Fuji Masahide and others are higher than themselves!

Originally, the Fuji family and the Johoji family were just two salted fish sandwiched between the Takamizuji Spo family and the Nanbu clan, but because of their foresight, they joined the Tsugawa family relatively early, and they also contributed a lot to the Tsukawa family's pacification of the Mutsu and Rikuchu regions. Therefore, the two of them not only received the security certificate issued by the Tsugawa sect, but also received a lot of gifts for the territory.

After the former powerful southern clan was forcibly split by Tsugawa Soji, only the three families of nine, seven, and eight households were left with 2,000 koku each, and the three clans received 3,000 koku (of which 1,000 koku from Ishikawa Takanobu also belonged to it), adding up to only 9,000 koku. So in this regard, Harumasa Minohe really wants to cry.

"Everyone, I have summoned everyone to come here today, so I think you must have understood what happened, so let's make detailed arrangements here!" After Takahashi Xingjia entered the castle tower, as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to speak, "Tonight, your lordships will quietly go out of the city with the strength of each family, and hide five miles north of the city. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, I will hold high the banner and slowly enter Hanamaki City. Be sure to make a big noise, and this time it's a play for the mobs outside the city! Takahashi said loudly.

"Well, this plan looks like a plan to increase the stove, and it is not a problem to deal with the mob!" Haruma Mitsunohe forcibly found a wave of presence at this time, and directly pointed out the joints in it.

Just as he was about to enjoy the other eyes of the people around him, Mitsunohe Harumasa suddenly woke up, as if he couldn't speak at this time.......

looked at Takahashi Xingjia with an embarrassed expression, and when he saw that the latter was not angry, Minohe Harimasa breathed a sigh of relief, it would not be good if the Tsugawa family made an article with their own rudeness just now. Minohe Harumasa has been forced by the Tsugawa family like a frightened bird, but after all, he is the former overlord of the North Olympics, and while he wants to walk on thin ice, he also has some psychological troubles to show himself and find a sense of existence and brush up a wave of prestige.

.......

On November 2, the 15th year of astronomy, it was already winter for Hanamaki Castle in the Ou region.

Although there is no snow today, it does not mean that the weather is not cold. The cold weather was a slap in the face for these refugees, who were so cold that they were huddled around the fire shivering.

At the same time, in a tent in the center of the camp, more than a dozen big men were arguing loudly about something around several monks.

"Master Yide, thousands of Tsugawa family ashigaru entered Hanamaki City early this morning, plus the troops who arrived some time ago and the original ashigaru of Hanamaki City, there are more than 10,000 people in the city."

"We only have more than 40,000 people in total, and there are only more than 5,000 Qingzhuang, so we are not the opponents of the Jinchuan family at all!" Several sturdy men with ruddy faces gathered around the monk, who was known as the Master of One Light, and said with a sad face.

Ohara Temple Ichiden was about to say two words of consolation, when a man with a spear suddenly ran in, and then said with a respectful face, "Master Ichidamaki, there is a messenger in Hanamaki Castle who asks to see ........"
