In the Numanodate Castle castle tower, Onodera Uemichi looked at Togo Yoshisuke sitting below with an expressionless face, struggling inwardly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a long time, Onodera Uemichi said, "It's not impossible to have a truce, but this time it was the Owada family who offended the family first, and the family was in an advantage. Therefore, the family demanded that the Owada family should return Iwai Castle, and submitted a petition to the family, and belonged to the family. After that, Owada Mitsumori must hand over the position of family governor, otherwise, the family will not have a truce! ”

Togo Yoshiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that all these requirements?" ”

"Of course!" Onodera Uemichi said angrily, "The family's dispatch of troops this time is just to teach the Owada family a lesson, and since the Tsugawa Hall has come forward to mediate, this face is still to be given by the family!" ”

"Only by believing in you can you have a ghost," Togo Yoshiyu thought to himself. If it weren't for the fact that the family had defeated the Tozawa family and overwhelmed people with a great victory, would you have made a truce?

However, Togo Yoshisuke definitely couldn't show it, and immediately replied, "Thank you Onodera for your understanding, since the Onodera family is willing to stop fighting, after I ask the lord's opinion, the Owada family will be handed over to you."

"So, there is Lord Lao Dongxiang!" Onodera Uemichi said with a smile.

................

"My lord, the Onodera family has promised a truce!" In Rokugo Castle, Togo Yoshiyu said to Soji Tsugawa.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Onodera Uemichi is not stupid, and he will not continue to attack at the risk of breaking with the main family." It would be nice if the battle between the main family and the Tozawa family was in a stalemate, but now the main force of the Tozawa family has been defeated. The matter is very clear. ”

"Do you have any requests from the Onodera family?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

"There are no requirements. It is only to ask the Owada family to return Iwai Castle and submit a petition to the Onodera family, and belong to Onodera. Then he wanted Owada Mitsumori to give up the position of monk governor. Togo Yoshiyu replied.

Soji Tsugawa said, "These conditions are also expected, and the front is easy to do." But it will be difficult for Owada Mitsumori to hand over the position of family governor. But the Owada family doesn't know if they can accept these conditions, and the rest is up to you. Now the situation of the family is also unstable, the expansion is too fast, the foundation is unstable, and it cannot afford to fight for a long time. ”

"Hi"

Soji Tsugawa looked at the back of Togo Yoshisuke leaving, and thought happily, "Onodera Uemichi, you would never have thought that your decision today would kill you!" ”

...............

"What! Do you want this family to belong to the Onodera family? It's impossible! "In the main castle, when Togo Yoshisuke informed the people of the Owada family of his intentions, Mitsumi Owada, an important minister of the Owada family, shouted angrily.

"Calm down, light see" Owada Mitsumori stopped his brother's unreasonableness, "Togo-sama, what does the family need to do next?" ”

The Owada clan, as a wealthy family with the general strength of Heilu County, has been able to exist under the oppression of the Onodera family so far, and it is not all about luck. Under his leadership, the strength of the Owada family was not weakened by the invasion of the Onodera family, but also increased.

First, he captured Yamanuchi Castle of the Yamauchi family, a wealthy clan in Pinglu County, and then continued to capture Kurosawa Castle behind Yamauchi Castle, solving his worries. Later, he took the opportunity to attack Iwai Castle and expanded his power again. The height of the Owada family's stone has now increased from 1,600 stone to 4,400 stone now.

And in terms of diplomacy, he actively befriended the surrounding wealthy families. The Mutsu Hao clan and the He family all had a good friendship with the Owada family, and after the Rokugo family and other Senhoku County wealthy clans that had been friends with each other were destroyed by the Tsugawa family, they actively launched diplomatic goodwill with the Tsugawa family.

In this way, the only threat to the Owada family is the Onodera family. As it turned out, such a strategy was indeed correct. Many previous invasions of the Onodera family were defused by reinforcements from the Owada Mitsumi alliance and the He family. But this time, the Waga family fell into the same situation as the Mutsu Okuhao clan barnyard family (barnyard : bai, in the rural rice fields, there is a plant called weeds, which looks very similar to rice, but to hinder the growth of rice. There is no time to support the Yamada family.

The Owada family's strategy of borrowing reinforcements from the Tsugawa family could not be achieved, and the Tsugawa family was also fighting against the Tozawa family. Although the Tsugawa family has returned with their army, if the Onodera family insists on attacking, Yokote Castle will not be able to resist it.

Now that the Onodera family is willing to stop fighting, what about the subordinate Onodera family? And don't ask for a change to change the seal, just find an opportunity to defect in the future.

In fact, Owada Mitsumori did it. A few years later, Owada Mitsumori rebelled and killed Onodera Uemichi and became independent. But that's all for another time.

Togo Yoshisuke replied, "The Onodera family has asked you to hand over Iwai Castle and submit a petition to the Onodera family. Moreover, it is necessary for Owada Hall to give up the position of monk governor. ”

"What!" Owada Mitsumi immediately quit and said, "Why do you want my brother to hand over the position of family governor?" ”

"Shut up!" Owada Mitsumori scolded: "I agreed to these requests!" Annoyed Dongxiang, you go back and tell the Tsugawa Palace, this time you gave the help of the family in mind, in the future when there is a need for the family, please also send someone to inform, the family will be served. ”

"Thank you so much, Owada-sama!" Togo Yoshiyu said happily.

When Togo Yoshisuke left, Owada Mitsumi couldn't help but say to Owada Mitsumori, "Brother, the Onodera family is so demanding, why do you have to agree to such a request?" When we fought against the Onodera family, didn't we just not want to be subordinate to them? Isn't it the same as the Iwai family's wall grass in the end? ”

"Hikami, you're still lacking in consideration," Owada Mitsumori said with a smile, "How can Onodera, who is now subordinate, be the same as these ants of the Iwai family?" ”

"If the family is directly subordinate to the Onodera family, it is just the treatment of an ordinary small wealthy family. But now, the Onodera family has seen the combat power of the family, can they still treat the family like they did to the Iwai family before? ”

Owada Mitsumi nodded and said, "Having said that, the Onodera family actually asked the elder brother to live in seclusion. But Matsuwakamaru is only 7 years old, how can he be the head of his family? ”

"Humph!" Owada Mitsumori smiled and said, "Who said that I was going to let Matsuwakamaru inherit the family?" ”

"Not Matsuwakamaru?" Owada Mitsumi said suspiciously, "Who could that be?" Isn't my brother the only one heir, Matsuwakamaru? ”

"This person is just seeing you," Owada Mitsumori said with a smile.

"What?" Owada Mitsumi exclaimed, reacted casually and said, "Brother, the younger brother definitely doesn't have the slightest idea about the position of the head of the family, and after Matsuwakamaru succeeds to the throne, the younger brother will definitely do his best to assist!" ”

Seeing that Owada Mitsumi had misunderstood what he meant, Owada Mitsumori smiled and said, "Okay, Mitsumi!" I'm not tempting you, it's true! From now on, you will be the twelfth head of the Owada family, and the castle will be moved to Yamauchi Castle! ”

"But brother, what about you?" Hikaru Owada said puzzled.

"I will let Matsuwakamaru inherit the Yokote family, and from now on I will change my name to Yokote Mitsumori!" Owada Mitsumori said loudly. After speaking, Owada Mitsumori's eyes revealed a strange fierce light!
