438 Seizure of messengers

Uesugi Keitora finally decided to give Akechi Kogoro this face, and the latter removed all the original coercive momentum and sneering expression, and asked in a very flat tone:

[It seems that Date Misaku Mamoru already has this awareness...... I will give him one last chance to stop this battle, and I will take him to Kyoto to ask the Shogun for forgiveness, and maybe the Shogun will not embarrass him......]

Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I am afraid that this will never be done, and although my lord longs to meet the general, he is not in this situation. 】

[Oh? What was that like? 】

[When he completely pacifies the Northeast, he will naturally go to Kyoto to report to the Shogun. 】

[Report?] Isn't it to show off their achievements? 】

[Of course not, my lord's guild went to pay tribute to the general as [Northeast Exploration Topic]. 】

[Alas! In this world, there is no longer the position of [Exploration], and Date Misakumori's mind is still stuck in the Ashikaga era, which is really helpless, and it seems that it is necessary for him to open his eyes and see the world that has changed. 】

Wise Kogoro sighed, this time sighing, he really felt helpless, because the negotiation was completely unsuccessful, whether it was a temptation or a threat, Katakura Kojuro did not look soft, he really didn't know whether to praise the latter's courage and backbone, or to be amused by the entire Date family in the current situation where the world's major events have been determined.

After sighing, Akechi Kogoro didn't give Katakura Kojuro another chance to speak. Just said to Uesugi Jinghu:

[Echigo-samarum-sama, the scenery of this swamp is really good, I want to stay here for a few days. How are you willing? 】

Uesugi Keihu was stunned for a moment, although he understood the meaning of wise Kogoro, although this kind of thing is a little dishonorable, but if it is really implemented, there is no problem.

[Okay, let's do as you say, Sir, Katakura-sama.] I just wronged you to stay here for a few more days, rest assured, I will not treat you badly. 】

[Everything is left to Echigo Mamoru to decide.] 】

Although they will be seized. Katakura Kojuro didn't think about this, and he didn't prepare for it, but when the words of Wise Kogoro and Uesugi Keitora came out, he behaved very calmly. It's calm.

[You two take Katakura-sama down to rest.] 】

Uesugi Keitora commanded the two flags beside him.

[No need. The little one has feet and legs, and can walk on its own! 】

With that, Katakura Kojuro didn't look at anyone present anymore, and walked out of the Uesugi army's main formation, but at the moment of going out, the generals of the Uesugi army on both sides subconsciously got out of the way until a moment later. Cai wondered in his heart:

[Ahh This kid is already a hostage of our side now, why should I make way for him? What a TNND bad luck! 】

As soon as Kojuro Katakura walked out of the main formation. Kawada Naga said:

[What an amazing tough guy!] Completely ignoring the military prestige of our army, I really didn't expect that the Date family would have such a figure over the years, if Date Masamune's kid makes good use of it, I'm afraid the future will be limitless. 】

[Yes, you can know his eloquence by listening to his eloquent tone......]

[I heard about the previous Battle of Tsugawa, and this person is also active......]

[It's a pity that such a young talent is not our retainer......]

Everyone also echoed it, only Wise Kogoro did not speak, but he was eagerly thinking in his heart:

【Great!】 Ita Minori plus Katakura Keitsuna, two of [Date Sanjie], are now in my hands! 】

To be honest, catching talents doesn't mean that you can convert them into workers under your hands, after all, this is not "Three Kingdoms", let alone "Nobunaga's Ambition", not the kind of people who can be brought to account if you move the mouse.

Ita will certainly not come to my door right away, and if nothing else, he is still a relative of Date Masamune.

Not to mention Kojuro Katakura, who feels that unless he scratches the lottery ticket, everything is free to talk about.

However, Wise Kogoro is not completely without ideasβ€”β€”β€”β€” he plans to take this opportunity to completely destroy Date Masamune and cut off the thoughts of these two people...... But then again, even if these two people are in their own hands, can they really make proper use of them?

Katakura Kojuro is both civil and military, but what position should he arrange for him?

Strategist? Honda Masatin was not convinced.

Interior officer? Wise Chang'an expressed dissatisfaction.

Diplomat? Wise Zuo Majie expressed dissatisfaction......

Although more than 1,000 years ago, Han Xin of the Han Dynasty [Bingxian] once said that the more talents, the better the better.

However, the soldier immortal obviously does not have a backache when he stands and talks, and if the talent is hoarded too much and cannot be properly used, it will only cause a waste of human resources and bloated government departments, and even cause disputes within the bureaucracy, so it is better not to have it!

As for Itashi, although he has a lot of martial arts skills, but being able to fight and being able to fight are completely different things, and Wise Kogoro remembered that he had also read "Date Family Chronicles" and Yamaoka Shohachi's "One-Eyed Dragon Masamune" when he was in his previous life, Itami did not do much in his early years, and it was only after his twenties that he slowly accumulated military exploits and became a minister of the Date family.

Obviously, the [stunned green] I've seen right now is not the [Centipede General], so I need to give him some opportunities to exercise.

Katakura Kojuro never returned, so he was detained by Wise Kogoro, and the most surprising thing is that Wise Kogoro seems to have given him a set of clothes for Date Masamune, and it is also a women's dress so hated that he gritted his teeth and openly said that he wanted to fight to the death with Date Masamune in Wuhai!

After hearing this news, Date Masamune was stunned for a long time, the reason why he would whimsically do this kind of thing was completely to imitate what Zhuge Liang saw and did back then (in fact, Zhuge Liang was not so [intimate] to Sima Yi in the official history), but he didn't intend to really anger Wise Kogoro, he thought that the latter had read so many books and should know the allusions in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

His real purpose was not to provoke Akechi Kogoro, but to take this opportunity to tease the latter...... Yes, this idea sounds very naΓ―ve, but it is indeed the true purpose of the [One-Eyed Dragon], and the wise Kogoro has read the book and will definitely know what it is all about, but most of the people in the Uesugi family are illiterate or semi-literate who have not read much, how can they be happy to see their military advisor being insulted to this role? In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Wise Kogoro had to be in a hurry for a while, and he was teased by himself, so he could only pretend to cover up the past as if nothing happened, thinking about the details, I felt funny.

As a result, Akechi Kogoro reacted unexpectedly, not only did he not read what he meant, but it seemed that he was really going to fight with himself, which made him unpredictable what he was going to do.

But it's okay to send the ashes back, not only did he not [bail] to the person, but even the [bail person] was detained, and on the surface, it seems that he suffered a big loss. But in fact, he can put all the blame for the failure of ransom on the enemy's side, and I believe that the big soldiers under his command should not make trouble anymore.

[Strengthen the defense work of the barracks, and prepare fences, horse rejections, and large canopy, to strictly prevent the enemy's attack! ] 】

Date Masamune ordered this on the side, but he felt very unhappy in his heart, obviously there were more people on his side, but he still had to pretend to be a grandson in front of the enemy, and now he should be playing an offensive role.

As for the Uesugi army, many people suggested that they should send troops to Wukai immediately, and since they have already released the words, they should be carried out to the end, go, and go to Date Masamune to fight hard!

Even Uesugi Keitora felt that this was feasible, but he did not make a decision immediately, but handed over the final execution of this matter to Wise Kogoroβ€”β€”β€”β€” from the beginning, he did not intend to let Wise Kogoro behave too bleakly, as long as the latter got into trouble with Date Masamune, the more benefits he could get.

In this regard, the attitude of wise Kogoro does not seem positive at all:

[Let's do it now, I'm afraid Date Masamune has already been prepared, not only will it not please us now, but we will definitely fall into their trap, so no one can act rashly until I and Echigo-samamoru have discussed a suitable result! 】

[But, Mr. Wise, you have already received such an insult, how can you still ......]

[Thank you for your kindness, Lord Honjo, but now even I am not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? Sooner or later, I'll have to settle the accounts with Namida Masamune, but now is not the time...... You go down first, and we'll talk about it later!" 】

Talk again! Talk again! It's like never meeting again!

Honjo Shigan longs to fight, but the wise Kogoro, whom he trusts, becomes hesitant at this time.

In fact, it doesn't mean that Chikogoro is hesitant, but at this time, as a military advisor, he has too many things to worry about.

Others will think that they are too indecisive and look ahead and backwards, and they will not be able to pay attention. But how can you hesitate about this? In normal times, indecision in national policy is nothing more than a defeat or a loss of finance and taxes. But how can he be indecisive in this fate-determining event. (To be continued......)
