Ashina Mori's words were echoed by many of the Ashina family's retainers.

It has been several years since the Ashina Mori clan succeeded to the throne of the Ashina family, and in just a few years, the Ashina Mori clan has promoted many younger generations of retainers, and these retainers are staunch supporters of the Ashina Mori clan.

Young people are always full of vigor and eager to establish meritorious deeds. And in these troubled times, where does the merit come from? War, of course!

Half of the retainers of the Ashina family, such as the newly rising leaders of the Ashina family, such as Toshimitsu Anazawa, the son of Shintoku, the lord of Funaoka Castle, Matsumoto Shosuke, the son of Shunsuke Matsumoto, the lord of Tsugawa Castle, Kanegami Moribei, and his retainers Sase Tanetsune and Hirata Shunfan are now close to or have a small surname from the Ashina Mori clan.

Ashina Mori has a "secret" that is already widely known in the Ashina family, that is, Ashina Mori is quite interested in men. Although the Ashina Mori clan recruited the sons of some retainers into the name of "discovering family talents", it is undeniable that the Ashina Mori clan does take special "care" for some small surnames and side extraordinarily "care" for some small surnames that are slightly "eye-catching".

For example, Toshimitsu Anazawa and Hirata Shunfan are the two retainers that the Ashina Mori clan "relies on" the most. The two were deeply valued by the Ashina Mori clan, and they repeatedly followed the Ashina Mori clan to fight and held important positions when they were just the age of Yuanfu. And the two of them also lived up to expectations and won the recognition of the retainers, and now they are well-known retainers in the family.

It seems that he tasted the sweetness of Toshimitsu Anazawa and others, and the Ashina Mori clan went on to collect dozens of young children to form the "Continuous Public", which means that the Ashina family has a steady stream of talents. (A well-known prophet Kira Kamisuke: Here is the key point, the exam to be taken!) ）

It is said that there was a very precocious young boy in the "Constant Crowd", and many retainers praised the child's intelligence, and the Ashina Mori clan immediately promoted this person after the Yuan service. As a result, this person did not have any remarkable achievements later, and even "stood out from the crowd". The retainers questioned Ashina Mori with this, and Ashina Mori replied with a smile, "If you behave like an adult when you are a child, you will become an old man when you become an adult." Just as bitter things become sweet, sweet things become sour."

Of course, this is just an example, but I have to say that Ashina Sheng's ingenious way of promoting talents is indeed very effective.

After hearing Ashina Sheng's answer, the Ashina clan seemed to be a little unwilling, so he continued, "As the son-in-law of Doctor Zuojing, how can the lord not help Doctor Zuojing?" Where does this place the decades-long covenant between the House and the House of Date? ”

"If there is any rift between the family and the Date family because of this, it will be more than worth the loss for the family!" Ashina continued.

Seeing that the Ashina clan was still not giving up, the Ashina Mori clan secretly scolded "a rat-eyed person", then looked at Ashina Mori Shun's face, and continued, "Now that my father-in-law has gained the upper hand, even without the support of my own family, I can defeat Date Harumun. The Satake clan of Hitachi seems to have the intention of invading the north recently, and the family should really not spend troops, otherwise the Satake family will take the opportunity to attack Iwashiro, and that will be the real gain outweighs the loss! ”

Although the Ashina Mori clan didn't care about the Ashina clan, he also had to consider Ashina Mori Shun's opinion. Although Ashina Morishun has lived in seclusion, there are still a large number of old ministers at home who support Ashina Mori Shun, if Ashina Mori Shun does not agree to this, it is really not easy for the Ashina Mori clan to break away from the broken ship of Date Minoru.

The Ashina Mori clan also knew that if he directly stated that he wanted to support Date Haruna, Ashina Mori Shun, who had a close relationship with Date Minoru Sect, would definitely oppose it. Therefore, the Ashina Sheng clan used the Satake family as a cover, so that Ashina Shengshun, who had been at odds with the Satake family for a long time, at least would not choose to resist.

Sure enough, after listening to Ashina Sheng's answer, Ashina Shengshun, who was sitting under Ashina Sheng's head, had a slightly calmer face, and his eyes skimmed Ashina Clan's Fang who was sitting next to him, and the latter immediately closed his mouth in amusement.

Ashina Shengshun did not object, so it was equivalent to acquiescing in the decision of the Ashina Mori family, and some retainers who were not optimistic about it had to accept the fact that the Ashina family was going to "protect their lives".

"In addition to announcing this matter, there is another matter I want to discuss with you!" After seeing that the retainers stopped talking, the Ashina Mori clan paused and then spoke, "I guess you have already heard about the defeat of the Dewa Mogami family by the Tsugawa family, what do you think about the Tsugawa family?" After saying that, the Ashina Sheng clan set his eyes on the retainers in the palace.

After hearing Ashina Sheng's words, many retainers had some unnatural faces.

In the past few days, the most heard by the retainers of the Ashina family is the news of how the Tsugawa family defeated the Mogami family and unified the Izuwa country. Although the Daihoji family in the Shonai area did not submit to the Tsugawa family, almost everyone chose to forget about it, after all, the Daihoji family was not a powerful force.

The rise of the Tsukawa family has caused the entire power of the country to feel an unprecedented pressure. Before, when the Tsugawa family was bouncing in the North Okuba area, everyone didn't think about it, but when they heard that the Tsugawa family pacified Hazen, the people of Nanjiku suddenly realized that if the Tsugawa family continued to develop according to this momentum, it would be their turn to become the next target of the Tsugawa family!

In the face of the Tsugawa family, many of the retainers of the Ashina family, who were a little less courageous, did not seem to have any resistance in their hearts.

After being silent for a long time, a mediocre-looking retainer sitting opposite Ashina Morishun said with a playful face, "Speaking of the Tsugawa family, it seems that Lord Kinjo and the Tsugawa family still have some origins, right?" As he spoke, the retainer looked at a young samurai sitting diagonally across from him.

Seeing that someone mentioned this, the lord of Tsugawa Castle, Jin Shang Shengbei, said calmly, "What Shengyuden said is very true, the Senbei Tsugawa family is Mino guarding the Toki clan, and there was a branch that moved to the Tsugawa Castle of the main family, and changed the Miao character to Tsugawa. Later, another group entered Senhoku County, which is now the Tsugawa family. ”

"Speaking of which, there are also people from the Tsugawa family among the retainers of the Tsugawa family." Jin Shang Shengbei smiled suddenly, and then swept the corner of his eye to a middle-aged samurai with a crimson face sitting behind him.

"That's the only thing?" Many retainers who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but exclaim, the famous Senbei Tsugawa family actually has such a relationship with this family? And the obscure Kanejo family was actually the head of the Tsugawa family? It's incredible, maybe this is the big guy!

After Jin Shang Shengbei finished speaking, Sheng Yuki, a major minister of the Ashina family who was called "Sheng Xing Dian" by Jin Shang Shengbei, continued to say, "Oh? There is actually a person from the Tsugawa family under the command of Lord Jinshang, but he doesn't know that this person can be in the palace? ”

As soon as they heard the people of the Tsugawa family, the retainers of the Ashina family in the hall swept their eyes to Jin Shang Shengbei, and even the Ashina Sheng clan and Ashina Sheng Shun couldn't help but look at Jin Shang Shengbei. Obviously, this is very attractive to the people of the Ashina family.

"Yes, this man is in the temple." Jin Sheng Bei nodded in reply, and as he spoke, he turned his head to a ...... behind him
