Hiyama Castle, after the defeat in the last battle of Akita Tsuka, the Hiyama Anto family collapsed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although after a few months of recuperation, the situation is still not optimistic.

The most intuitive thing is that the Fifty Eyes family, the Miura family, and the Kasei family, which were originally subordinate to the Anton family, have a faint sign of separating from the Anton family. Recently, the three wealthy families have been in close contact with each other, and some orders from the Anton family have been constantly shirked.

In the castle tower, Anton Shunji sat on the main seat with a sad face, and the retainers such as Yoshiyuki Sato, Hirotake Kite, and Masayoshi Shimizu were lined up on both sides.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the last great defeat, the situation of this family has been getting worse day by day. Even the Miura family, who used to rely on their own family to survive, dared to openly ignore the authority of their own family. Anton Shunji said worriedly, "Recently, the detectives and ninjas of the family have also discovered that the Tsugawa family already has a situation of using soldiers against the family, how is this good?" ”

"The current strength of the family has not fully recovered, if the Tsugawa family fights at this time, what will the family use to resist?" Anton Shunji said helplessly, the current strength of the Anton family is no longer comparable to the Tsugawa family, and what makes matters worse is that several wealthy families belonging to the Anton family have begun to disobey the orders of the Anton family again, so the strength of the Anton family has weakened a few points. The Tsukawa family is like a mountain, pressing on Anton Shunji's heart, making Anton Shunji breathless.

Yoshiyuki Sato said slowly, "My lord, even if the Tsugawa family wants to send troops, it will have to wait until after the autumn harvest." There is still more than a month to get the family ready. ”

"The family's Hiyama Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Tsugawa family comes to attack, we can also cage the castle in Hiyama Castle. With the sturdiness of Hiyama Castle, it is not difficult to defend the castle. Yoshiyuki Sato continued, "As long as it can be delayed until winter, the Tsugawa family's forces will naturally retreat." ”

"Yes, my lord." Xiting Guangwu on the side also spoke: "After the autumn harvest, it will only be less than 2 months before the beginning of winter. As long as the family is strong and clear during this time, they will stick to Hiyama Castle. When winter comes, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru will naturally retreat. ”

Hearing the words of Hiroshi Kiwa and Yoshiyuki Sato, Anton Shunji's heart finally felt better, "Yes, as long as it drags on until winter, no matter how many troops the Tsugawa family has, no matter how strong the combat power of the Ashigaru is, there is nothing to be done about it." Thinking of this, Anton Shunji's hanging heart finally let go.

At this time, Shimizu Masayoshi suddenly spoke, "My lord, the top priority of this family now is to consolidate the territory. Mobilize Ashigaru to actively prepare for war. Many detective ninjas closely monitor the movements of the Tsugawa family, so that the family can be ready to fight at any time. ”

"Not bad!" Anton Shunji is not a mediocre person, and hurriedly said, "Yoshiyuki Sato, Masayoshi Shimizu, the two of you immediately mobilize the peasant soldiers of your family and train them strictly. Hiroshi Hirobu, the ninjas and detectives of this family are all in charge of you, so be sure to monitor the movements of the Tsugawa family. If there is any change in the Tsugawa family, report it immediately! ”

"At this time of life and death, whether my Anton family can survive the difficult time depends on the concerted efforts of all of you. Please! Anton Shunji said excitedly.

"Hah!" Yoshiyuki Sato and the others replied with a firm face.

According to the Fifty Eyes Family, Miura Morinaga, Miura Moriji, Fifty Eyes Hideji, and the new head of the Kasei family, Kasei Jiqing, are also discussing something.

Hideji Fiftyme looked at the people beside him and then slowly spoke, "Everyone, the strength of the Anton family is not as good as before, and it's time for us to consider our retreat." ”

After Hideji Fifty finished speaking, everyone in the hall was silent for a while.

After a long time, Jiacheng Jiqing opened his mouth and said, "Father-in-law, what do you mean, let us take refuge in the Jinchuan family?" ”

"Exactly." Hideji Fiftyme said with a smile on his face, "The strength of the Tsugawa family has also been experienced by yourself. Now the Tsugawa family is actively preparing for war, and they are about to use troops against the Anton family, if we are still on the side of the Anton family, it is really a way to die. ”

The head of the Miura family, Miura Morinaga also nodded at this time and said, "What Fifty-eye-sama said is extremely true. Looking at our Yugo region, the rise of the Tsugawa family is already unstoppable, if we don't take action, once the Tsugawa family sends troops, everything will be over at that time. ”

Jiacheng Jiqing also nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Since this is the case, then let's submit the invitation to the Jinchuan family as soon as possible, otherwise it will change later." ”

"Without further ado, I'll leave tomorrow to go to Ueno Castle to meet Soji Tsugawa in person and tell the Tsugawa family what we mean." Hideji Fiftyme said slowly.

On August 31, the thirteenth year of astronomy, Asari Lai finally came to the territory of the Tsugawa family in a hurry. Along the way, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Asari Yorishige traveled south from Yagibashi Castle and traveled from the Mt. Moriyoshi area to the Tsugawa house in disguise as an ordinary merchant.

What he saw and heard along the way opened the eyes of the "soil bun" of Asari Laizhong.

"The rise of the Tsugawa family is really not accidental, Tsugawa Soji is really a powerful person." This is the inner thought of Shallow Li Laizhong at this moment.

Outside Ueno Castle, Asari Yorishige looked at the city in front of him, which was even more majestic than Ducobalt City, and his heart couldn't help but be a little shocked. The Ducobalt Castle that has been built by the Asari family for decades is not as good as the castle built by the Tsugawa family in a few months, and the gap is really not ordinary.

Passing through the castle town, Asari Yorishige came to the north gate of Ueno Castle, and in an instant, several ashigaru generals stopped Asari Yorishige.

"Stop!"

"Who are you?" Several ashigaru looked at Asari Yorishige with a vigilant face, and the spear in his hand pointed at Asari Yorishige, making an attack posture. Since Tsugawa Soji was attacked at Higashiyamaji Temple two years ago, the castle in the Tsugawa family has been heavily guarded, especially Ueno Castle, which is the residence of Tsugawa Soji. Even the retainers of the Tsugawa family who entered Ueno Castle had to verify their identities before they were allowed to leave.

Asari Lai Chong hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said with a harmless face, "In the lower Binei, the shallow Li family, the Ducobalt City Castle Generation, and the pen head family, the old shallow Li Lai Chong, came to pay homage to Lord Hasuke." ”

"Asariya?" An ashigaru looked at Asarishi Yorishige suspiciously, and said loudly, "How to prove your identity?" ”

"This is a handwritten letter from the head of the family, please check it out." Asari Yorishige took out a letter from his bosom, sealed it and handed it to Ashigaru. Of course, this letter was written by Asari Lai himself, and anyway, the Asari family just had the final say.

Ashigaru took the letter and took a cursory look.,As the gatekeeper, Ashigaru is naturally different from ordinary Ashigaru.,Although there is not much literacy.,But you can still understand the letter.。

"Since it's a samurai of the Asari family, then please wait a moment again and go in here to ask for instructions." Ashigaru put the letter in his hands and said.

"There's Lord Law." Asa Li Lai said with a heavy smile.

Perhaps it was the sound of "Lord" that played a role, and the ashizu chuckled before turning and entering the city.
