Chapter 1167: The Duck Flew Away!
The sea near Oepo is rough.
In this harsh marine environment, neither the Mori nor Ouchi navy ships dared to continue sailing on the sea. A major warship like Sekichuan will also capsize when a wave hits.
Looking at the huge ship that was constantly approaching him, Tao Qingxian's eyes not only burst out with the desire to survive, but also he was quite vigilant about the identity of the person who came.
"It's ....... Is this bellflower pattern? ”
"There are very few families in the world who use the bellflower pattern, but I'm afraid that the only one who can have such a water army is the Dehana Tsugawa family, right?"
As the warships continued to approach, the Tsugawa family patterns fluttering on the warships became more and more visible.
Tao Qingxian's heart was relieved, as long as he was not from the Maori family.
But at the same time, a new question surfaced in Tao Qingxian's mind, why did the Tsugawa family's warship appear here?
Behind this, could it be that there is still the shadow of the Tsugawa family?
If this is the case, then is the Tsugawa family friend or foe?
The Ouchi family had nothing to do with the Tsukawa family before, and it was obviously impossible to say that the Tsukawa family's warship was here to support the Ouchi family. Could it be that the other party is a reinforcement invited by the Maori family?
Thinking of this, Tao Qingxian's heart tugged again.
Not long after, one of the ships in the Tsugawa family's fleet stopped on the shore.
On the deck, a samurai dressed in red and a young samurai dressed in regular clothes calmly walked down from the warship, and the flagmen on Tao Qingxian's side hurriedly surrounded Tao Qingxian in the middle, looking at the people who came down from the ship with a wary face.
"Are you from the Ouchi family?"
One of the Tsugawa samurai at the head was the first to speak.
In the crowd, Tao Qingxian pretended to be calm and said, "Down there is the Ouchi retainer Tao Ao Zhang Mamoru, I don't know if your Excellency is from the Tsugawa family?" ”
"Not bad! In the Shimononotsugawa family naval commander Motoyama Sato Mamo, standing on my side is the main family foreign affairs liao mountain pass right soldier guard Shaozhi Hall! ”
Sure enough, it's someone from the Tsukawa family.
Tao Qingxian hurriedly pushed aside the side that was blocking him and took two steps forward, "But I don't know, how did the two adults appear here?" ”
"The head of the family heard that the Ouchi family and the Maori family were at war, and he specially ordered me to come to mediate!"
"Mediation?"
"Not bad!" Yamaguchi Chokyo on the side shook his cuffs, and then came to Tao Qingxian's side with his hands behind his back, "Owari Shouden, since the lord of the main family defeated Miyoshi Chikuzen Mamoru and Imagawa Jibu Daisuke, the rebellion in Kinai has been swept away, and now the shogunate has begun to reorganize with the assistance of the lord of the family. ”
"Between the various disasters caused by the private battles between the guardians and daimyo in the past, the head of the family really can't bear it. So the special dispatch came down to mediate! ”
Tao Qingxian glanced at Yamaguchi Changjiao suspiciously, and was just about to open his mouth to continue to say something, but there was other movement behind him.
"Tao Qingxian is leaving, today is your death date!"
Yoshikawa Motoharu finally arrived with a team of troops at this time.
However, as soon as he rushed over, Motoharu Yoshikawa discovered the anomaly of Oeura.
Whether it was the huge ships that were densely packed with black pressure on the sea or the hundreds of well-armed ashigaru on the beach of Oeura, Yoshikawa Motoharu had to be cautious.
"Owari Shouden is so embarrassed, could it be that the battle of Miyao Castle was defeated?" Yamaguchi Nagakyo glanced at Tao Qingxian, then continued with a smile, "But I don't know, Owari Shouden is willing to accept the mediation of his family?" ”
"Yes! Naturally, I would like to! ”
Just kidding, Tao Qingxian is not a fool. In front of me, I had reached the point where I was at the end of my mountain, and I was about to die here, but the people of the Tsugawa family suddenly killed me. And listening to the meaning of the other party's words, the Tsugawa family intends to meddle in the affairs of Shanyang and Sanyin.
After the defeat of Miyao Castle, the Ouchi family's vitality was greatly damaged, and they had lost the strength to continue to compete with the Maori family.
At this time, if you hit the snake and hug the thigh of the Tsugawa family with the stick, you can at least ensure the territory of the Ouchi family in Zhoufang, Nagato and other places.
"Since Owari Mamoru is willing, then I'm going to inquire about the wishes of the Maori family."
As he spoke, Yamaguchi Nagatoryo calmly walked through the forces of the Ouchi family and slowly walked towards Yoshikawa Motoharu not far away.
"In Shimono Maori retainer Yoshikawa Jibu Shaosuke, dare to ask Your Excellency?"
"It turned out to be Yoshikawa-sama, in the Shimoyama Pass Right Guard Shaoshi, and he was the foreign affairs liao of the Izuzugawa family."
"Dezuzugawa family!" Yoshikawa Motoharu's eyes suddenly shrank, and a bad premonition suddenly clouded his heart, "Then the reason why Lord Yamaguchi appeared here?" ”
"I have come to mediate the war between the Ouchi family and the Mori family on the orders of the head of the family."
"It's impossible!" Yoshikawa Motoharu refused without thinking about it, "This battle was provoked by the Ouchi family, and the family has won a big victory. Tao Qingxian and the others have nowhere to escape, what is the reason why the Jinchuan family came to intervene at this time? ”
"I came by sea from Settsu all the way to the lower class, and although I was in a hurry, I was still a step late, and by the time I arrived, the war was already over."
"But the head of the family is now the head of the shogunate, and he also holds an important position in the shogunate, and is introduced by the shogun as the humerus and is in charge of the shogunate. The lord wanted to mediate the war between the Maori and Ouchi families, but for the sake of the stability of the world. ”
"Nonsense!" Yoshikawa Motoharu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Presumptuous!" Yamaguchi Nagake's voice was louder than Yoshikawa Motoharu's, "What is the identity of the Mori family, and how dare you ignore the shogunate's orders?" ”
"The Tsugawa family doesn't seem to represent the shogun yet, right?"
"Humph! This is the Imperial Book written by the General, so take it and read it yourself! With that, Yamaguchi took out a document from his arms and handed it to Yoshikawa Motoharu.
Yoshikawa Motoharu took the paperwork and looked at it, and his face suddenly became cloudy.
"What if the family doesn't accept mediation?"
"That is a blatant disobedience to the shogunate's orders, and the head of the family should personally lead the tiger to crusade against Maori! At that time, all the daimyo of the Quartet will respond, and the strength of the Maori family can still be comparable to Miyoshi and Imagawa? ”
The current shogunate is no longer the same as before.
In the past, the shogun lost power, and the daimyo in various places did not need to bird the shogunate at all. But now the Tsugawa family has swept through Kinai strongly, and in the name of the shogunate, they have eliminated dissidents, and they are as strong as Miyoshi and Imagawa.
Although the Mori family has now established itself in San'in Sanyo Ryōdo, they are not arrogant enough to think that they can compete with the Tsugawa family.
Looking at the Yamaguchi Changjiao in front of him, and then sweeping Tao Qingxian in the crowd not far away, Yoshikawa Motoharu had no choice but to be unwilling in his heart.
The Tsugawa family on the coast is gathering more and more, and there is a huge naval army on the sea to respond, Yoshikawa Motoharu only has more than 100 troops next to him at this time, and he can't help Yamaguchi Nagakyo and others at all.
"I'm just a retainer below, and I can't make the decision on mediation, so I still need to consult with the head of the family!"
"I also ask Yoshikawa Jibu Shaosuke to return to the Maori Right Horse Head, and in the near future, I will personally go to the mountain castle of Yoshida County to visit the Maori Right Horse Head Hall."
"It's just that today, Taowei Zhang Shou and his entourage are going to take it away, I don't know what Yoshikawa-sama wants?"
Yoshikawa Motoharu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said unwillingly: "Your Excellency, take care of yourself!" ”
After speaking, Yoshikawa Motoharu turned around, out of sight and out of mind. The duck to the beak flew away, and Yoshikawa Motoharu was simply angry.
Seeing that Yoshikawa Motoharu's clothes softened, Yamaguchi Nagakyo showed a satisfied smile, and the task given to him by the main bus was finally completed.
It's just that..... Why did the lord know that Tao Qingxian could be found in Dajiangpu?
Yamaguchi Chokyo was puzzled....
