The Eoka Shigeshi has long known the conditions of the Takayama family from the mouth of Wada Akiwei, and that kind of condition is definitely not acceptable to the Satake family, especially after the war, and it is also a reduction of a large amount of land, not to mention that the Satake family will not agree, even if Satake Yoshishige agrees, his retainers must not agree, after all, once agreed, then after the reduction, the income of the Satake family will not be able to support so many retainers, and those low-level samurai may not be able to become ronin, and those high-level samurai, I am afraid that the knowledge and deeds under their rule will be lost, In the end, there is a little bit of Zhixing left in the Satake family, except for the lord's, there is not much left that can be distributed to himself.

In this way, the Eoka Shige's envoy to the Takayama family this time, the pressure is undoubtedly huge, but as the Satake family's pursuit of diplomacy, if he doesn't come, who else in the family can be competent, at the beginning, although he has the right to speak, which makes the Eoka Shigeshi very satisfied with such a start, and from the other party's attitude, he didn't see the meaning of resisting the family, which made him feel a lot more relieved, at least with his experience, even if the result this time is not too ideal, it shouldn't be too bad, but when he listened to the words of the clan, he knew, Everything just now was just an illusion, and this Takayama had no intention of giving up any interests at all.

Of course, as an old diplomat for many years, such a situation was already expected by him, so he immediately adopted the strategy of retreating as advance, only to hear him speak: "Takayama-sama is right, I did know the attitude of the adults before I came here, but I think that this time and that time, the situation at that time, the adults said that, and I think it is not a lie, if the Takayama family has Shibata, the Sakuma family will help each other and want to eliminate Hojo." Although it is difficult, it is possible to do it, after all, although the Takayama family is not allied with the main family and the Utsunomiya family, the main family and the Utsunomiya family did contain at least forty percent of the Hojo family's military strength for the Takayama family, but now it is different, and the adults are afraid that they already know. The Utsunomiya family has been completely directed to Hojo, so that only the main family is left in the east, and the strength of the main family has reached the point where it is difficult to support alone, once the Hojo comes to attack, the family will not escape the fate of destruction, after that, the Hojo has no elbow in the east, and the whole shogun can be arranged in the west, and at that time. Even if Takayama-sama has Shibata and Sakuma's help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy it again, and once Hojo gets the Hitachi Great Plains, it will only get stronger and stronger over time, and after a few years, it will pull up an elite force of 100,000 people, not to mention the alliance of the three adults. Even if Nobunaga led the army to come, the Hojo family had the strength to resist. So I want to say that it is worth it for the adults to exchange the country of Nagalu for Kanto. In the end, he finally said the conditions of the Satake family, and this condition is the same as last time, of course, since the last time Wada Zhaowei came here, the Satake family knows that it is basically just a luxury to want to get Changlu Yiguo, after all, looking at the entire Kanto. The richest is Chang Lu, this Gaoshan clan is not a fool, how can he give up this fast fat meat, but he can't help but say so, because if the other party wants to talk about it, he will definitely bargain. So you have to leave enough room for discussion.

"There is some truth to that, but after Utsunomiya defected to Hojo, the Satake family's role in attacking Hojo is not much at all, and if you want to share the Kanto region with me just by virtue of this contribution, this idea is really a bit whimsical, so I still say that, this is impossible." The clan clan couldn't help but say, not to mention that now only the Satake family is left in the east, even if it is the Utsunomiya family, Yuki did not return to Hojo, and the three families together can only contain Hojo's three percent army, and forty percent is completely Eoka Shige's upper lip touching the lower lip, nonsense, and Yuki and Utsunomiya are just adding to the head, and how much power can they contain Hojo, so the clan clan disagrees with its statement.

Seeing that the other party said this, the Eoka Shigeshi couldn't help but secretly scold this Takayama clan for not invading, just like the stones of the latrine, it smells and is hard, if the Eoka Shigeshi only has such an ability, then I'm afraid there is really no way, so I can only start to lower the requirements to promote this matter, but if this is the case, I will not accompany the Rang clan to be careful when facing him. He has no intention of lowering his requirements now, since he can't impress the other party from the side of his own family, then continue to talk in another direction, especially the recent unpredictable situation in the eastern country, there will always be something that makes the other party jealous Once he grasps this point, then it will be beneficial to his family, thinking of this, I only heard him open his mouth and say: "Lord Takayama, I think that the role of this family is small, that is because the adults still feel that the situation in Kanto is now beneficial to the Takayama family, but this is just the current situation, it can be concluded that the situation can be reversed in less than three months." ”

Reversion? After hearing this word, the clan unconsciously frowned slightly, could it be that the Hojo family has something new, but he has not received such information at all, for the intelligence system of the family, the clan is still very confident, and the information that he has not been able to obtain, the Satake family is impossible to get it first, then it is likely that the problem lies with Satake himself, is it because he pressed too hard, Satake Yoshire's mind of returning to Hojo? This idea was vetoed by the clan in an instant, Satake Yoshishige is not a confused person, he should know that even if it surrenders like Hojo, with the contradiction between the two families, there will be no good end, and the attitude of the Hojo clan towards it is the same as the treatment of Utsunomiya, and the Satomi family will not be any different, that is, to use the Satake family as a gunman, just like Imagawa's attitude towards Tokugawa at the beginning, and he has to add a change word, but apart from this, the clan really doesn't know what the other party said about the reversal.

Eoka Shigeshi keenly captured the details of the clan's frowning just now, so he immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, only to hear him continue: "Takayama-sama, it is not alarmist in the next, this reversal is on the body of the Echigo Uesugi family, since the fall of Kenshin Gong, his two sons fought for the position of family governor, and fought in Echigo, and although Jingsheng won a small victory at the beginning, but since Jinghu won the support of the Hojo family, the situation in Echigo has changed greatly, especially after Hojo sent 30,000 troops to help, Jingsheng will be defeated in a few months under isolation, At that time, once Echigo was captured by Jinghu, Jinghu's feelings for the Hojo family would inevitably be like each other wholeheartedly, and once the two families united, not only did they form a trap for adults, but the Shibata family, who could help adults, was only restrained by it. There is no possibility of sending troops to help at all, and in the future, adults will have to beware of Uesugi on the one hand, and there will be a big lack of help on the other, but the strength of the Hojo family has been greatly improved, do adults still think they have the ability to fight in Kanto alone. At that time, the role of the family was fully reflected, so Satake's requirements for all the people in charge of Hitachi were actually not high. "Although the Eoka Shigeshi got the information about the fall of Uesugi Kenshin and the rivalry between the two sons of Uesugi in a short period of time, they only knew a little bit about it, and this was only known in such a short period of time after the Satake family strengthened intelligence gathering, but it was not detailed, but since he could use this matter as a bargaining chip. There was still some analysis, but he hesitated to get too little information, even if the analysis was in place, it would be useless, because he didn't know that Uesugi Keikatsu was not alone, not only did he have reinforcements, but this support army was also sent by the Takayama family, of course, he didn't think of this before. After all, he is already the intelligence of Takayama Lord, how can he not see the importance of Echigo. And he didn't think that the Takayama family had the ability to gather intelligence, and he didn't know Jinghu's origin, but what was the use of knowing this, but he knew that not long ago, the combined forces of Takayama and Shibata were defeated by the Uesugi army. Although I still don't know the specific details, since it is a big defeat, the loss must not be small, although the Gao Shan family has an elite army, but there are not many of them. After the loss, even if he had the heart to help Jingsheng, I am afraid that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength, and after this analysis, he dared to mention this matter.

Originally, before the other party spoke, the clan was still sweating, but as soon as the other party's words came out, the clan immediately put his mind at ease, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head and laugh at himself for being too careful, and said in his heart that this will really scare people The Oka Shige clan will really scare people, but it's just to scare people That's all, with the ability of the Satake family, how can it be better than the family in terms of intelligence, as long as the other party is not willing to return to Hojo, then he can rest assured, but this has given the clan a wake-up call, it seems that he can't force Satake too much, if it's because he doesn't let go, Satake Yoshishige really went to Hojo in a hurry, it was really a bit of trouble, the Satake family was not afraid of the military situation, but the Satake family has a lot of talents, especially Satake Yoshishige is also a generation of famous masters, with his ability to create some trouble for the family to return the book can be done, rather than this, or give up part of the benefits, cut off the possibility of him to take refuge in Hojo, after all, one more friend is better than one more enemy. It can be said that the clan can make concessions first.

And for the Eoka Shige, as a weak party, it is definitely something worth boasting about to be able to make the clan make concessions first without compromising conditions.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan speak: "Lord Eoka, the clan has to say that the Satake family was able to obtain Echigo's information in such a short time, and the clan admires it. ”

Speaking of which, although Eoka Shigeshi tried his best to keep his emotions stable, he still showed a hint of relief on his face, because he knew that if the other party said this, it already meant that he had the intention of relieving himself, and he could let the other party loosen up first, which would be more beneficial in the next negotiations, and he had a more important piece of information that he did not say, once the two or two things that were unfavorable to the Takayama family were said, then the family could get more benefits, of course, if the other party compromised, He also has to lower the conditions, which is called negotiation, otherwise it will be persecuting the Gao Shan family, and he does not have such courage.

But as soon as the Eoka Shigeshi had such an idea, he listened to the clan continue: "But, the information of the Satake family is outdated, and just now the adults said that Uesugi Keikatsu is isolated and helpless, and this battle will be lost?" Haha, adults don't know, tens of thousands of troops in my family have already sent troops to Echigo to aid Jingsheng, and when my military division made a little trick, Jinghu and tens of thousands of Hojo troops have been surrounded in Kasuga Mountain Castle, and within half a month, the other party will collapse because of the exhaustion of food and grass, and at this time, adults still want to use Echigo as a talking point, which is really a little ridiculous. ”

"This ...... How is this possible. "After listening to it, the Eoka Shigeshi can no longer remain calm, if what Takayama-sama said is true, then the other unfavorable news will not have much impact, after all, the two pieces of information need to complement each other, one is indispensable, once Echigo is controlled by the Takayama family, then, the other one will become insignificant, and what really makes him panic is that he has no more bargaining chips, and the other party is still in a strong position, He really doesn't know how much benefit the family will have to lose in the end this time to protect the family business, although at the time of coming, the bottom line given by the lord is already extremely low, but if he does it according to the bottom line of the lord, then the development of the Satake family will be seriously hit, and even become a fish and meat to be slaughtered.

"Impossible? Why do adults think this way? Oh, I know, I'm afraid my lord thinks that the last battle between the family and the Uesugi family ended in failure, so I think the family is no longer capable of helping Uesugi Keikatsu, but what I want to tell the adult is that the strength of my Takayama family is what you can imagine, not to mention failing once, even if it fails ten times or eight times, it will not affect the foundation of the family, so I think the adults should put their minds right first, and then come to negotiate with the family, otherwise this meeting is just a waste of time for both parties.

Eoka Shigeshi knew that he couldn't leave like this at the moment, and if he couldn't even negotiate it, then he didn't think that anyone else could complete this for the Satake family, so he immediately adjusted his mentality, and he couldn't bite Hitachi Kazukuni anymore.

After calming down a little, I only heard him speak: "It was in Xia Menglang just now, and the Takayama family already has plans for Echigo, so I won't say much about it, but the external things can be solved by the Takayama family, but the internal affairs of Hojo are probably not something that Takayama-sama can intervene in, with the ability of the Takayama family to collect intelligence, I am afraid that the adults should already know that this time Hojo's assistance to Uesugi Keihu can be described as killing two birds with one stone, if it can help Uesugi Keihu to take the position, of course, it is the best, if it can't, it can also use this battle, It is inevitable that the power of the wealthy clan under the rule will be weakened or even eliminated through the hands of the Takayama family, and once the Hojo clan controls more land, then with these incomes, the military strength under its command will not only increase greatly in number, but also improve the combat power, which will still cause great trouble to the adults, and the existence of Satake, it is still necessary, if the adults can agree that after the elimination of Hojo, the family can keep the current land, then the family is willing to become a vassal of the Takayama family, and never betray, I don't know what Takayama-sama thinks. After speaking, the Eoka Shige clan couldn't help but look at the clan sect. (To be continued.) )
