"Even so, but brother, the younger brother is still a little unwilling in his heart!" Mitsumi Owada said angrily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't get in the way, it's just a stopgap measure to belong to the Onodera family now, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I must make the Onodera family pay the price!" Owada Mitsumori said fiercely. Even, no, it should be called Yokote Mitsumori now.

"But brother, now that the Onodera family is in the limelight, the only forces around it can compete with are the Tsugawa family and the Mutsu family. But now the Tsugawa family and the Onodera family will not easily tear their faces, and the forces of the Osaki family and other Mutsu are now caught in the whirlpool of civil strife in the Date family, and they can't pull out to fight the Onodera family at all. Are we going to have to wait a lifetime? ”

"Humph! The Onodera family seems to be powerful, but in fact, it is also full of internal problems. Not to mention the Onodera family's allies, the Dahoji family in Shonai, even the recent wealthy Sasaki family and other forces are only superficially subordinate to the Onodera family. It is also internally unstable. The lord of Asamai Castle, Lord Asamai Naizumasuke, and the lord of Masuda Castle, Lord Masuda, were successively reduced by 200 koku last year, and this year they were reduced by 300 koku. I was already disgruntled. ”

"When the time comes, if you stir up the relationship between these wealthy families a little, the Onodera family will fall apart! The family is taking the opportunity to send troops, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Onodera family in one fell swoop and dominate Heilu County! Yokote Mitsumori smiled and said, "Haha! After saying that, Yokote Hikaru laughed loudly. Although Yokote's expression was very pompous, what happened later proved that he did it! That's all for later, though.

"But brother, the Onodera family won't be unguarded against us! The family has just been subordinated, and the Onodera family will definitely pay close attention to the movements of the family, and the slightest change will definitely be discovered by the Onodera family! Mitsumi Owada said.

"So. Our top priority now is to gain the trust of Onodera Uemichi! ”

Yokote Mitsumori nodded and said approvingly, "That's right! When you submit your petition, take Matsuwakamaru with you and give it to the Onodera family as a hostage! ”

"Although Matsuwakamaru is the brother's sister-in-law, hostages alone are not enough to make the Onodera family trust the family. And my brother forgot, if my brother changes his name, Matsuwakamaru will be the heir of the Yokomori family, and it has nothing to do with the Owada family! Owada Mitsumi said helplessly.

"This .........." Yokote Mitsumori hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have any good ideas for Hikari?" Tell me about it! ”

"Hehe" Owada Mitsumi smiled and said, "Brother, didn't Matsuwakamaru's mother just pass away................."

In the Tsugawa family Rokugo Castle, Tsugawa Soji held an evaluation meeting.

The retainers of the Tsugawa family, with the exception of the Kuroda family, who guarded Komatsuyama Castle, participated in the assessment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now Komatsuyama Castle has been captured by the main family, and the Maeda family has also been wiped out by the main family. The silver mines of Uemaeda Castle also fell into the hands of the family. It's exciting! Soji Tsugawa said to everyone in the hall with a smile.

"Hey!"

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Saigo Kizo, tell me about the current situation in Senhoku County and the surrounding counties" Now that the Kuroda family is not there, the intelligence work falls to Saigo Kizo.

"Hi," Saigo Kizo replied.

"Let's talk about Xianbei County first! In the Battle of Komatsu River, the head of the Tozawa family, Tozawa Michimori, was killed, and the Tozawa family was leaderless. Tozawa Michimori has no heirs, so the Tozawa family is now fighting for the position of family governor. The Tozawa family, Tozawa Maseseige and Tozawa Moritsuna, as well as Tozawa Masayasu, are currently vying for the position of family governor, while Tozawa Masashiro and Tozawa Katsuyoshi have united, and Tozawa Massaysu has united with Hanarum Morikin. ”

Tozawa Moritsuna is the half-brother of Tozawa Michimori's father, and is the uncle of Tozawa Michimori, but he is a concubine.

Soji Tsugawa trembled after hearing this, I hope this ending doesn't happen to me! Now Tsugawa Soji also has no heirs, and the Tsugawa family has only one person, whether it is a descendant or a lineage. In this way, if something happens to Tsugawa Soji, the Tsugawa family will fall apart in an instant.

"Let's talk more about the Tozawa family," said Soharu Tsugawa.

"Hi"

"Now the Tozawa family is divided into two factions. One faction is that the Senbei Tozawa clan Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna are united to prepare to succeed Tozawa Masashige or Tozawa Katsuyoshi's son to the deceased Tozawa Michimori as an adopted son to inherit the Tozawa family, and the other faction is the Toshishi Tozawa clan Tozawa Masaysu and Tozawa Masayasu's son-in-law Hanagu Morikin, who are preparing to stand on their own. The two sides are not ready to do it yet, but if they can't reach an agreement next, a battle may be inevitable! ”

"What is the state of the forces on both sides?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

"Yodogawa Castle and Tazawa Castle on the side of the Tozawa clan in Senkita have only more than 200 people, less than 300 people, while the Tozawa Masan side has more than 300 troops. At present, Tozawa's side is still in a weak position. Yodogawa Castle is located on the left, and Tazawa Castle is on the edge of Lake Tazawa, the easternmost part of Senhoku-gun. Tanuchi Castle, where the flower drum is in full bloom, and Umezawa Castle, where Tozawa Masayasu is located, divide the two castles. Therefore, Tozawa's advantage is much greater. Saigo Kizo replied.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "The family has been fighting for days, and Ashigaru is tired and has also encountered problems in the supply of food and grass. Let's take a break and see what happens next. ”

"Go on!"

"Hey," Saigo Kizo said, "In addition to capturing Komatsuyama Castle this time, the main family also captured the upper and lower Maeda Castle led by Mizutani Hisaharu-sama, and wiped out the Maeda family in one fell swoop. And I learned that the Maeda family has a silver mine, and is currently sending someone to find out the specific location. Saigo Kizo said with a smile.

"Wow" The retainers in the hall, such as Nagano Masahi and others, exclaimed one after another. Everyone knows what a silver mine means to the Tsugawa family. Among them, Rokuro Umino, the director of the mining department, was even more excited and was about to cry. How much money can a silver mine make you greedy............

"In addition, the fighting in Pinglu County in the south has also ended. Through the efforts of the main family, the Onodera family and the Owada family ceased war, and the Owada family was subordinate to the Onodera family. ”

"Speaking of which, I have to mention Owada Mitsumori." Saigo Kizo said with a solemn face: "Owada Mitsumori gave up the position of head of the family to his younger brother Owada Mitsumi, and changed his name to Yokote Mitsumori. And asked to marry the daughter of Onodera Uemichi, and in a blink of an eye, he became a member of the Onodera family! ”

When Soji Tsugawa heard this, his eyes lit up, "It's here!" That's it, what should happen always happens! Onodera Uedo is really careless, and he will release a tiger like Owada Mitsumori by his side! ”
