The Ryohei family was originally based in the castle tower of Ryohei Castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the sound of something being shattered, followed by the roar of Ryohei Yoshishi.

"What did you say?" Ryohei Yoshiki pulled his eldest son Yoshiki Ryohira and said loudly. "Father, the Tsugawa family won the battle the day before yesterday, defeated the forces of the main family and the Yamada family, and attacked Iwatani Castle. Yoshiyasu Yamada committed suicide, and his uncle, his uncle, was also taken. ”

Ryohei Yoshiko's face turned pale, and he took a few steps back tremblingly, and sat down on the ground suddenly. "No, how could it be." Ryohei Yoshishi said in disbelief: "The 200 troops of the main family, plus the ashigaru of the Yamada family, a total of 300 people, how can they be defeated by the Tsugawa family in a battle?" ”

Ryohei Yoshiki helped Yoshinori up and said, "I heard that it was the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, the general of the Yamada family, who saw the family's strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and in addition, the uncle killed the younger brother of the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, so the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family took refuge in the Tsugawa family and suddenly launched a night attack at night. ”

Liangping Yizi scolded: "Ah. Yoshimitsu misunderstood me, even though the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family was brave, but it was not too late to do it after capturing Motoyama Castle. Alas" suddenly, as if thinking of something: "Yoshiki, how is the Osawa family?" Can it be moved? ”

Ryohei Yoshiki said: "Father, the Osawa family has not moved in recent days, after all, Kamiyama Zezhi and the Osawa family have been tense. ”

Only then did Liangping Yizi put his mind at ease, "Fortunately, the old immortal of the Daze Gao family died first, otherwise this family would be in danger this time." ”

Then, Yoshiji Ryohei said, "But don't be careless. Send more detectives to monitor the movements of the Osawa family and the Nagano family in the east.,The rout of the main family.,Presumably the two families should also know about it.,Don't be careless.。 ”

"Yes, father," Yoshiki Ryohira replied.

......

The Nagano family is originally located in Nagano Castle.

The successive battle reports immediately alarmed Masahei Nagano, who had been in obscurity for many years. The Nagano family and the Ryohei family had always maintained a semblance of peace, as the Nagano family was not strong enough to defeat the more powerful Ryohei family. And the Ryohei family was held back by the Osawa family to the west, and they didn't have time to take care of the Nagano family. So the two families are at peace for the time being. However, the Nagano family and the Ryohei family had a deep enmity more than 100 years ago. The current Ryohei family's base is Ryohei Castle, which was captured by the Ryohei family when the Nagano family sent troops to assist the Hondo family in the battle against the Rokugo family. Since then, the Nagano family has been inferior to the next, and its territory has shrunk by half. It wasn't until Masahei Nagano succeeded him that he vigorously developed trade with the Hondo family, and gradually became stronger.

For so many years, the Nagano family has been intent on regaining the old domain, so Nagano Masahei has been accumulating strength, looking forward to retaking Ryohei Castle one day.

After listening to the news one after another, Nagano Masahi suddenly burst into joy, laughed, and shouted, "Quick, go and call Lord Kawakami Tadakei to come to the castle tower to discuss matters." In addition, send detectives to continue to investigate the situation of the Ryohei family, and be sure to find out the current strength of the Ryohei family. "Hi" Masahei Nagano approached and went as promised.

"Haha, God bless my Ryohei family, after so many years of shame, will you finally be disgraced under my Nagano Masahei?"

......

Kamiyama Castle, inside the castle tower of Kamiyama's house.

"Well, the Ryohei family was defeated by the Tsugawa family, and Ryohei Yoshimitsu died in battle. Haha, the Ryohei family has suffered heavy damage, so it will not be able to recover its strength in a short time. After listening to his son's report, Kamiyama Zezhi said excitedly to his son Kamiyama Yuyuki.

"Father, what a godsend. Now we can take the opportunity to send troops to Osawa Castle and return to Osawa home," Yuyuki Kamiyama said excitedly. "Not bad" Kamiyama Zezhi patted Kamiyama Yukiyuki on the shoulder in fear, and continued: "Xingzhi, immediately prepare the army, prepare the grain and grass, and prepare to send troops to Daze City." "Hi," Yuyuki Kamiyama responded.

"Humph! Daze Gao family, if it weren't for my father's partiality, how could it be your turn to be the head of the family, and I was passed on to the Shangshan family to come to this simple, impoverished Shangshan City. "The indescribable joy in the heart of the mountain" After so many years of suffering, I want to slowly return it to your son. ”

"Hahaha, hahaha" From time to time, there was a loud laugh from the castle tower.

......

The Osawa family was originally based in Osawa Castle.

The old Mizutani Nagaji of the Osawa family looked at the lord Osawa Kochi who was dozing off, and his heart was full of peace.

The Mizutani family is a genealogical retainer of the Osawa family, and the Ueyama family has assisted the Osawa family for many generations. The two families are known as the right-hand men of the Osawa family. Since the death of the lord Osawa Gao family, Mizutani Nagaji has been like a mirror in his heart for all kinds of abnormalities in the Kamiyama family. "Is this about to start the fight for the position of governor? When the Lord is still alive, the bones are not cold."

On the castle tower, Mizutani Nagaji, who walked out of the bedroom, held on to the railing and looked into the distance, and said in a low voice: "Nansenbei County has finally started to ask for **** since the Tsugawa family begged for Yamada Yoshinobu some time ago?" "Hmph, go up to the mountain, I won't let you get your wish"

"Someone," Mizutani shouted not far away. "Mizutani-sama, please command," said an Ashigaru of the Osawa family as he came to Mizutani Nagaji's side. "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter and send it to the Tsugawa family for me." Mizutani Nagaji looked into Ashigaru's eyes and said to him. "Hi," Ashigaru said without hesitation. Mizutani Nagaji nodded, "Come with me"

Half an hour later, looking at the ashigaru in the distance, Mizutani Nagaji sighed heavily, "God, it's going to change" Mizutani Nagaji said softly. "Lord, please don't blame me, in order to keep the bloodline of the Daze family, your subordinates can only do this."

......

May 20, Astronomical 10. After a night of heavy rain, it was finally a refreshing sunny day.

At this moment, Soji is enjoying a massage from the maid Xiaolan in the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle Castle. "Ah, that's comfortable." Resting his head on Xiaolan's lap, his eyes looking at the slightly bulging hill bag, Zongzhi Harazi was about to come out.

At this time, a ashigaru who was in charge of guarding the castle tower hurriedly walked in and reported: "My lord, the lord of the village has sent someone to say that there is a person who claims to be an envoy of the Osawa family asking to see him. ”

Zongji was slightly stunned after hearing this, "The envoy of the Osawa family? What's the matter with coming to my Tsugawa house? After thinking about it, Zongzhi smiled slightly and motioned for Xiaolan to let him get up.

Soji sorted out his clothes and instructed Ashigaru to say, "Let the village-sama let him in, and you can lead the way." "Hi," Ashigaru said

Zongzhi turned to Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, I've worked hard for you, let's go down first" "Yes, Your Highness" Xiaolan replied and said. After saying that, he slowly withdrew from the castle tower.

"Made, it's really sultry to look at, when will I do you" I desperately want to "in-depth" understand Xiaolan's Zongzhi, shamefully thinking "Isn't there a person who said that xx is the road to the depths of a woman's heart"

......

"Meet Tsugawa-sama," the envoy of the Osawa family said loudly, prostrating himself on the ground.

"Please" Zongzhi straightened his sitting posture and said, "The messenger has come from afar, and it is very hard, why don't you go down and rest for a while?" The visitor replied, "Thank you for your kindness, I won't rest."

Zongji nodded and asked, "I don't know why the envoy came this time?" "Below, it was Tachizuya-sama who sent a letter to Tsugawa-sama," and after speaking, he took out a letter in his arms. Letter? Soji paused before getting up to take the letter from Yoshikage Komura.

"Please also ask Tsugawa-sama to give the villain an answer after reading it, Mizutani-sama is waiting to return to his life," the messenger said, looking up.

Soji opened the letter and read it slowly. Looking at the above content, Zongji's face slowly became solemn. "Does Mizutani-sama have any special explanations?" Soji asked. "No, it's just that I have been instructed to get your reply before going back," the messenger responded.

Soji stood up, walking back and forth with broken steps. After a while, Soji said, "The messenger will go down to rest first, let me think about it for a while, and then give you an answer" and "In this way, I will retire first", and under the guidance of Komura Yoshikage, he walked out of the castle tower.

Soji held the letter, his brows furrowed slightly.

After a while, Yoshikage Komura returned to the castle tower. "Lord, what is the matter with the Daze family?" Yoshiki Komura asked. Soji casually handed the letter to Yoshiki Komura.

After reading it, Yoshikage Komura said to Soji: "My lord, the Osawa family asks for help from this family? Will there be fraud? ”

Zongzhi shook his head and said: "It should be true to ask for help, recently Kamiyama Zezhi of Shangshan City has been gathering troops, and the intention of raising troops to fight for the head of the family is obvious. What I'm thinking about is that Mizutani Nagaharu said that if the family can kill Kamiyama Zeyuki, he will be willing to give Daze and Kamiyama Ercheng as a thank you gift. This is not a big gift. ”

Komura nodded and said, "My lord, although most of the forces of the Daze family are now in the hands of Shangshan Zezhi, they still have a certain strength. Why did you ask for help? What is the difference between promising such benefits and directly surrendering to the family? ”

Zongji agreed: "I'm just thinking about this, why did Mizutani Nagaji promise such benefits, so that even if the Shangshan family has no chance to get involved in the position of family governor, but after the Daze family sacrifices Daze City and Shangshan City, it will exist in name only, and there will be no more than half an inch of territory." This makes one wonder. ”

After listening to Soji's words, Komura Yoshikage said: "Yes, my lord, even if you ask for help, you should go to the more powerful Ryohei family, why did you find this family?" ”

Soji first shook his head and said: "No, according to the report of the Kuroda family in the past two days, the Nagano family is also gathering troops, and it should send troops to the Ryohei family, so even if you ask the Ryohei family for help at this time, the Ryohei family has no troops to send." Soji suddenly stopped, thought about it for a moment and continued: "Moreover, I suddenly thought of something just now, maybe His Royal Highness knows why Mizutani Nagaji chose this family."

"Why?" Yoshiki Komura asked. Soji smiled and said, "If you were Mizutani Nagaji, when choosing the main family and the Ryohei family, who would you choose?" ”

Yoshikage Komura thought for a while and said, "If other factors are excluded, I will definitely choose the Ryohei family in the future, after all, the Ryohei family is stronger, and it will be more useful to ask for help." ”

Soji shook his head and said, "If I were Mizutani Choji, I would choose this family"

Komura Yoshikyo was puzzled and asked, "Why does the lord think so?" ”

Zongzhi said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the weakness of the family that after receiving such a heavy thank you gift from the Daze family, I will be grateful to the Daze family, and I will not forget such a friendship of the Daze family, and I will treat the descendants of the Daze family well in the future." And if it is the Liangping family, maybe Liangping Yizi will not embarrass them when he is alive, but the descendants of Liangping Yizi may not be. Because for the Ryohei family, although the territory of the Osawa family is not small, it is not enough for them to remember this love forever. ”

"The lord is really a high opinion," Komura Yoshijing quickly said with admiration after listening to Soji's words. "Then how does the family deal with this matter?"

"Don't give anything to your door." Soji said to Yoshikei Komura, "You go and tell the envoy of the Osawa family that the family is willing to send troops to support the Osawa family. "Hi" Yoshiki Komura went as promised.

"Mizutani Nagaji is a smart man, but it's a pity that the head of the Osawa family died too early and fell into a civil war crisis, otherwise there must be a time for him to show his talents," Soji thought, "However, such a talent will belong to me in the future, haha." ”
