"What did you say!" After listening to the report of the visitor, Tsugawa Soji stood up from the ground in shock, with a shocked face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just now, a detective from Feng Zhangcheng reported bad news to Soji Tsugawa. Ishiki Nobubo, a major minister of the southern family, led some of the wealthy clans of Antler County to suddenly attack the territory of the Asari family, and cooperated with Dage Shenglai to besiege Asari Zeyou in the original Ducobalt City.

Asari Noriyu's letter for help was delivered to the hands of Akechi Mitsuhisa of the Fengzhang Castle Generation, and Akechi Mitsuhisa did not dare to slack off and hurriedly sent someone to report to Tsugawa Soji.

After all, behind the stone turtle letter house is standing the behemoth of the southern family, such a thing must wait for Tsugawa Soji to pay attention to it before making a decision, and Akechi Mitsujiu does not dare to send troops privately.

"What is Nanbu Haruma doing here?" Soji Tsugawa walked in the castle tower, and his heart could not be calm for a long time. To be honest, the current strength of the Tsugawa family is already on par with the southern family, and even the Tsugawa family is more than the southern family in Shigao. The stone height of the southern family is about 60,000 stone (direct collar), and the total stone height does not exceed 120,000 with the addition of subordinates and various tribes.

However, the southern family has mines and various resources in its territory, and the southern family has a lot of trade income from the trade with the Ainu people who are indigenous to Ezo Province, and in terms of overall strength, it is still on par with the Tsugawa family.

Moreover, the southern family has dominated the northern Okuba for dozens or hundreds of years, and the accumulated wealth and heritage are by no means comparable to the Tsugawa family, which has just risen.

Soharu Tsugawa doesn't want to go to war with the southern family yet, at least not for a short time. At present, the Tsugawa family needs a transition period to develop the territory and consolidate the internal rule of the Tsugawa family. When the territory is fully integrated, the chances of winning the battle with the southern family will be greater.

"The southern family sent troops this time, except for the stone turtle letter room, what other movements are there?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

The detective who passed the message scratched his head and replied nervously, "My lord, Zai Xia is only responsible for transmitting the message, and as for the rest, Zai Xia doesn't know." ”

"Okay, you go down first." Soji Tsugawa waved his hand.

"Hah!"

After the detective left, Tsugawa Soji turned his head to Ogasawara Yasunaga beside him and said, "Yasunaga, when you were in Hiyama Castle, did you know the current situation of the Asari family?" ”

Ogasawara Yasunaga said slowly, "I don't know much, but judging from the past news, the conflict between Asari Noriyu and Okata Katsuyori has become more and more intense. Before, Asari Zeyou executed Asari Dinglai and others, and the interior of the Asari family gradually stabilized. ”

"However, now that the important minister of the southern family, Ishigui Nobubo, has suddenly led his army into the Binai region, if the family does not send troops to support, it will be difficult for the Asari family to resist." Yasunaga Ogasawara spoke out what was in his heart.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that the southern family is also nervous about the capture of Akita and Yamamoto by the main family. ”

"In that case, some things are better on the table." Soji Tsugawa continued, "Send an order to Akechi Mitsuhisa, and order him to be the commander-in-chief, and lead the forces of the family in Akita County and the Spo family, and immediately rush to Ducobalt Castle. Before the southern family has made a move, it must not be rash. ”

"However, if the southern family is the first to attack the main family, then don't be afraid! Just hit back! Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"Yes! Lord! ”

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

In the afternoon of the same day, before Soharu Tsugawa had recovered from the news of the morning, he was informed that an envoy from the southern family had arrived.

The person who came was an old friend of the Tsugawa family, and the owner of the Turbidity River Pavilion was Ai from the north, and the envoy sent by the Tsugawa family from the southern family last time was also Ai from the north. For Beizhiai, a "honest and honest man", Soji Tsugawa still likes to deal with him.

"Peking University people, don't come to harm." Inside the castle tower of Ueno Castle, Soji Tsugawa looked at Ai Kita, who was sitting below, with a smile on his face, and said slowly.

Kita Zhiai saluted Tsugawa Soji, and then said, "I haven't seen you for many days, but Izuhane-sama's demeanor is still the same." This time, Lord Dewasuke defeated the Anto family and seized the territory of tens of thousands of koku in Akita and Yamamoto guns, which is really gratifying. After speaking, Beizhiai's eyes couldn't help but flash with an inexplicable light, a kind of "envy" and resentment, which filled Beizhiai's heart.

"If it weren't for the Langoka family and the Spo family holding back the family, the family would have invaded the Dewa country a long time ago, and there would be nothing to do with the Tsugawa family at that time." Beizhi thought helplessly in love.

Although the territory of the southern family is very "wide", most of it is the Ou Mountains, and only a few are plains suitable for farming. The southern family has long wanted to acquire a territory that is conducive to farming.

The Tsugaru area, the Binai area, and the Antler-gun are all very close to the southern family, and the former has the Nangang family blocking the road, and the latter two are hindered by the Ando family, so the southern family has not been able to achieve their wishes.

But in the county, the Anton family, which had been fighting against the southern family, was suddenly defeated by the Tsugawa family, and even half of the territory of the Anton family was occupied by the Tsugawa family. These territories are the meat in the eyes of the southern family, and they were taken away by the Tsugawa family right now. Now almost all the retainers in the southern family are uncomfortable, and all of this comes from the Tsugawa family.

Looking at the calm face of Beizhiai, and he didn't plan to speak, Soji Tsugawa secretly thought to himself, "If you guess correctly, Beizhiai came this time to defeat the Andong family." It seems that Southern Harimasa really can't sit still. ”

Thinking of this, Tsugawa Soji took the lead in breaking the calm, "Peking University, I don't know why adults came to my house this time?" ”

"Tsukawa-sama, I've always liked to be outspoken!" Kita Zhi Ai saw that Tsugawa Soji spoke first, and quickly replied, "This time, I came to convey the congratulations of the head of the family to the Tsugawa family on defeating the Andong family. Second, it is for the sake of the shallow family. ”

"Lord Tsugawa should know that Daikatsu Katsuyori is the son-in-law of Lord Ishigme, a major minister of the family. So this time, at the invitation of Da Ge Katsuyori, the family sent troops to assist Da Ge Katsuyori in attacking Ducobalt City, and came to discuss this matter with Lord De Hasuke. Bei Zhiai continued.

Tsugawa Soji's eyes suddenly flew, and he said angrily, "Peking University people, presumably you should also know that the Asari family is a subordinate of the family, right?" It seems that it is against the way of the samurai to attack your own subordinates without taking the covenant against you! ”

"Alas, Tsugawa-sama, this time the troops were sent by Lord Ishigami without authorization, and the family did not know about it in advance. After learning of this, Lord Stone Turtle had already led his army to besiege Ducobalt City. Kita Zhiai continued, "No, the lord specially sent me down to explain this matter to Lord Dehanuse, so as not to cause any misunderstanding between the family and you. ”

"Don't know? What about liars! Tsugawa Soji scolded in his heart: "Ishigami Nobubo dares to send troops without the instructions of Southern Harusa? Without the order of Southern Harusa, the Antlers are willing to listen to the command of the Stone Turtle Letter? ”

Made, even if it's a liar, I'm looking for a decent reason. Although Tsugawa Soji was very resentful of the northern love, he had no other way, so he had to say, "So now that you know, I don't know if you can let the stone turtle nobubo withdraw the army?" ”
