Hojo Shiyasu was entangled.

Quite tangled.

In the end, Hojo Shiyasu still chose to be safe, "Thank you for the kindness of the Tsugawa Palace, although I also want to go to the Shogunate with the Tsugawa Palace, and serve the Shogun!" ”

"However, now the situation in the Kanto region is also seen by the Tsukawa Palace, and the family really has no spare strength to go to Luo, so I am afraid that the family is powerless in this matter!" Hojo Shiyasu cried directly and came poorly.

Tsugawa Soji had already prepared, it would be strange if Hojo Shiyasu could easily agree, after all, Hojo Shiyasu is not something that can be fooled casually, how can he do it without taking out some dry goods?

"The Kamirako period of the family is set for three years, and the Hojo Hall still has the incident to solve the current troubles. If, after three years, Hojo Hall feels that the Hojo family already has the strength of Kamiro, he can send an envoy to Ueno to inform him! I'm looking forward to it in Ueno Castle! Soji Tsugawa said slowly.

Hojo Shikang hurriedly nodded and said, "It must be!" ”

"It's just that three years is not easy." As the conversation deepened, Hojo Shiyasu gradually let down his guard, and continued to say as if he was talking to an old friend, "It's not a secret, since the Nagao family occupied Ueno, the internal instability of the family has begun. ”

"Especially the people of Musashi, if it weren't for Mamoru Suruga and others, I'm afraid they would have been torn apart."

"This time the Kanto people are a headache even more than the last time!" Hojo said worriedly.

The last time the people of the country fought was the Battle of Kawagoe Castle, but the participants were all small wealthy families, and this time there were many daimyo such as Utsunomiya, Satake, and Satomi. These three alone are enough for the Hojo family to drink a pot, not to mention that there is also a long-tail family, so it can be said that the situation of the Hojo family is not optimistic.

Tsugawa Soji hurriedly said, "If Hojo Hall can be trusted, why don't you listen to me?" ”

"Tsugawaden, please!"

Soji Tsugawa waved his hand at Hashimitsu Yajima outside, and when Hashimitsu Yajima came over, Soharu Tsugawa took out a sketchy map drawn on paper from Hashimitsu Yajima's arms.

Spreading out the map, Soji Tsugawa pointed to Ueno's location and said, "The person that Hojo-den is worried about is nothing more than the Nagao family. The rest of Satake and Satomi and the like, although they are not small now, cannot threaten the foundation of the Hojo family at all, right? ”

Hojo Shiyasu didn't answer, but just nodded and agreed with Tsukawa Soji's statement, and then stared at the map and waited for Tsugawa Soharu to say next.

Soji Tsugawa then continued, "The roots of the Nagao family are in Echigo, and Echigo is next to Shinano. Although the Takeda family of Kai failed to attack Shinano several times, it had just experienced several defeats not long ago. ”

"But in general, the strength of the Takeda family is stronger than that of the Shinano family. Therefore, Hojodena could have sent an envoy to communicate with the Takeda family, and if the Takeda family went north to attack Shinano, the Nagao family would inevitably return to Echigo, in case the Takeda family continued to go north and threatened their foundation. ”

"However, the relationship between the family and the Takeda family has always been bad, and I am afraid that if you go rashly, you will return in vain!"

Soji Tsugawa waved his hand, "Does Hojoden know that the Takeda family doesn't want to make peace with you?" ”

"From the Takeda family's several attacks on Shinano, it is not difficult to see that the focus of the Takeda family's strategy has been placed on the north! Since this is the case, in order to eliminate their worries, the Takeda family will inevitably make peace with the forces to the south of them. ”

"The Imagawa family is in-law, and although there was a period of tension due to the Takeda Mutsu Mamoru affair, they generally maintained a harmonious relationship. The Imagawa family's strategic target is Mikawa and Owari in the west, and they also face the same problem as the Takeda family, that is, worries. ”

"So whether it's the Imagawa family or the Takeda family, in fact, they all need a stable rear. And the back of the two families is precisely the Hojo family, so doesn't everything fall into place? Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, Hojo Shiyasu immediately looked like he was empowered, and said with admiration, "It is worthy of the Tsugawa Palace, and it has analyzed the situation between the main family, Takeda, and Imagawa families to the fullest." After Jinchuan Hall said this, the grievances of the three families are no longer enough to worry about! ”

In fact, Hojo Shiyasu is completely a fan of the authorities, and as the head of the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu is of course thinking from the perspective of the Hojo family. Because of the many years of grievances between the Hojo family and Takeda and Imagawa, Hojo Shiyasu thought that it would not be easy to achieve harmony. In addition, Hojo Shiyasu also had a little mustard in his heart, so when Kasawara Yasukatsu and others made this suggestion at the time of evaluation, Hojo Shiyasu did not adopt it.

However, after Tsugawa Soharu's analysis, Hojo Shiyasu found that the harmony between the three families was actually a matter that everyone expected, and both Imagawa and Takeda would be happy to see it come to fruition. The most important thing is that the Hojo family's own worries have also been solved.

And with the opportunity of the Takeda family's Kitayama Shinano, the threat of the Nagao family can be eliminated. Without the Nagao family, isn't it easy for the Hojo family to deal with the next Satomi again?

Poor Hojo Shiyasu didn't know that it was the garbage-like existence of the Satomi family that blocked the Hojo family for decades......

Seeing that Hojo Shiyasu had already moved, Tsugawa Soji breathed a sigh of relief. It is really not an easy task to forcibly turn the wheel of history back to its original trajectory, and to make Hojo Shiyasu unable to see the clues.

In order to dispel Hojo Shiyasu's other concerns, Tsugawa Soji then put down a big move, "As I said just now, I'm here to help Hojo Hall." Therefore, I have decided to sign a trade agreement with the Hojo family, whether it is a musket or ammunition, as long as it is sold inside and outside the family's territory, the Hojo family can buy it in the future! ”

"At the same time, the family also officially submitted a diplomatic letter to the Hojo Palace, and I am willing to communicate with the Hojo family from now on and set up a diplomatic office, I don't know what the Hojo Palace wants?"

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, Hojo Shiyasu suddenly showed an excited look, "That's really good!" ”

However, after finishing speaking, Hojo Shiyasu looked at Tsugawa Soji with a puzzled expression, "It's just Tsukawa Hall, this family has not had any intersection with the Tsugawa family before." Even under the Tsugawa Hall this is the first time to meet.,Why is the Tsugawa Hall so to the family.... What about such a heart-to-heart push? ”

Hojo Shiyasu has mixed feelings.

Judging from Tsugawa Soji's previous performance, it is completely a father's meticulous care for his son! When did the relationship between the Hojo family and the Tsugawa family get better to this extent, the Hojo clan Yasu simply filled with a hundred thousand whys in his heart.

Hearing Hojo Shiyasu's question, Soji Tsugawa smiled, and then continued, "The family has always taken it as their mission to support the shogunate, but the world is so big, how can the family cope with it on its own?" ”

"Yes, my family wants to find some like-minded companions to work together on great things! I just don't know if Hojoden........."

Before Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, Hojo Shiyasu said with a flushed face, "I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!" ”

Hojo Shiyasu was planted after all....... It's not that Hojo's Yasu is too simple, but Tsugawa Soji's routine is deeper than Hojo's Yasu!
