At the same time that the clan held an evaluation meeting, the castle tower of Okazaki Castle was also brightly lit, and although it was late at night, Matsudaira Motoyasu still summoned all the ministers in his family after careful consideration and held an evaluation meeting overnight.

As they grew older, the retainers no longer dared to underestimate their lords, so when they came to the assessment room, none of them dared to show tiredness, and Matsudaira Motoyasu was very satisfied that the retainers could have such an attitude.

I only heard him say lightly: "I summoned you late at night, but there is an important matter to discuss, which is related to the development of our family, and please don't be surprised." Although Matsudaira Motoyasu said politely, he did not have a trace of apology.

"Lord, we are ready to be dispatched by the lord at any time, how dare we slack off." The retainers hurriedly said.

Matsudaira Motoyasu nodded, no longer polite, and went straight to the point. "Now, the family is sandwiched between the Imagawa and Oda families, and if you want to develop, you must befriend one of them, what advice do you have?"

"My lord, the Matsudaira family and the Oda family are feuding, and if you form an alliance with the Oda family, you will suffer from it, and your subordinates think that they should be friends with the Imagawa family." Naito said.

"My subordinates agree with Naito-sama's words, my family and the Oda family have been enemies for three generations, how can we ally with them?" Sakai Tadashi also agreed.

What the two of them said is not wrong, the Matsudaira family has been a vassal of the Imagawa family for decades, although it turns out that Imagawa Yoshimoto made things difficult for the Mikawa samurai in every way, but the retainers of the Matsudaira family have long been used to it, as long as they can keep their family name, it is worth enduring humiliation.

Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't speak, but was thinking seriously, he had also considered it before, continue to befriend Imagawa to fight Oda, but after this period of observation, plus the information provided by Hattori Hanzo, he knew that the Imagawa clan was really incompetent, and if he befriended him again, it would undoubtedly be a cocoon.

And deep down in his heart, he was also very disgusted with the Imagawa family, because in front of the samurai of the Imagawa family, their Mikawa samurai would always be inferior, and the feeling of being called back and forth by others, Matsudaira Motoyasu would never want to experience it again. However, when he thought of the two giants behind the Imagawa clan, Takeda Shingen and Hojo Shiyasu, he also began to hesitate. After all, not to mention Takeda and Hojo, even if he is allowed to fight alone against the Imagawa family, who owns the land of the two countries, I don't know if Tsumichi can win.

"My lord, my subordinates don't know if they should say anything." Tadaji Sakai hesitated and said.

"Tell me about it." Matsudaira Motoyasu saw that he didn't seem to be persuading him to continue to be friends with the Imagawa family, and couldn't help but be interested.

Sakai Tadaji also thought about it carefully, obviously he also knew that the Imagawa clan was really an out-and-out waste, and Oda Nobunaga had already proven his strength during the battle of Barrel Sayama, and now the Matsudaira family is still weak compared to these two, if you want to keep the name of the family, you must take refuge in the strong, the reason why you chose to vassalize the Imagawa family in the past was not out of such considerations, and now the situation is different, if the Matsudaira family does not change, I am afraid it will not be far from extinction.

And in addition to this, Sakai Tadaji also thought of another point, the situation seems to be a crisis now, but if it is dealt with well, not only will it be harmless, but it will be extremely beneficial to the Matsudaira family.

Thinking of this, I only heard Sakai Tadaji say solemnly: "My lord, my subordinates think that I should form an alliance with the Oda family now. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the assessment room, the Matsudaira family and the Oda family have been friends for a long time, and among the retainers present, few relatives died at the hands of the Oda family samurai, and if they made friends with the Oda family, they said that they could not accept anything.

"Shut up, Zhongji, you keep talking!" Although Matsudaira Motoyasu is still a vassal of the Imagawa family, his heart has fallen to Oda, and what he needs now is firm faith.

"My lord, it's clear who is stronger and who is weak between the Oda family and the Imagawa family, and if the family is obsessed, then it's not far from destruction." Sakai Tadaji said that he also knew that his words were too serious, and he was afraid that the lord would be displeased, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, now that the situation has become clear, the reason why Oda Nobunaga did not take advantage of the crisis of his family to attack Mikawa, thinking about it with his subordinates, is actually giving you time to think about it." Why didn't the lord take this opportunity to get rid of Imagawa's control? ”

After listening to this, Matsudaira Motoyasu did not blame him for his disrespectful remarks, but smiled and said: "Ha Luha, what Tadaji said is reasonable, I have the intention of forming an alliance with the Oda family." ”,

"Lord, by all means, the reason why Oda Nobunaga didn't dare to attack Mikawa was not because he was afraid to face the Imagawa family directly, if the lord really formed an alliance with the Oda family, it would definitely be attacked by the Imagawa family, and please think twice."

Sakai Tadaji ignored the others and continued, "My lord, do you want to be a vassal of the Imagawa family forever? If he forms an alliance with Oda at this time, then the Imagawa clan will officially get rid of the Imagawa clan, and the lord will be the real lord of the three rivers. ”

After these words, Matsudaira Motoyasu was completely moved, the lord of the three rivers? He dreamed that if he didn't take this opportunity to make a name for himself, he would miss the opportunity.

Just when Matsudaira Motoyasu was about to make a decision, Okubo Tadashi couldn't listen to it anymore, and jumped up and yelled at Sakai Tadaji: "Sakai Tadaji! The lady and the young master are both in Junfu City at this time, do you want to put them to death? If that's the case, I, Tadashi Okubo, are inseparable from you! After speaking, he took out the sword on his waist and was about to run to Sakai Tadaji.

"Presumptuous! Get the hell out of here! Matsudaira Motoyasu saw that he was about to step forward and scolded.

Okubo Tadashi saw that the lord was angry, and he also realized that he was a little rude, but he still couldn't swallow this breath, and after glaring at Sakai Tadaji viciously, he reluctantly inserted the sword into the scabbard and sat on the cushion violently.

Matsudaira Motoyasu and Tsukiyamaden's marriage was originally arranged by Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Matsudaira Motoyasu also knew that Imagawa Yoshimoto was not kind, but planted a spy by his side, so he had no feelings for Tsukiyamaden at all. Even the son born to the Tsukiyamaden did not please Matsudaira Motoyasu because of his mother, but after all, this was his own flesh and blood, and Matsudaira Motoyasu's hard-to-firm confidence began to shake again.

The elders of the Three Dynasties, who had never spoken, and the important minister of the family, Torii Tadayoshi, knew the thoughts of the lord, and when he saw that the lord was embarrassed at this moment, he couldn't help but say: "Lord, in fact, this is not difficult to solve, as long as the lord sends a man of words to Suruga to explain the difficulties of the Matsudaira family with Daisuke of the Criminal Department, and said that he will continue to be friendly with the Imagawa family, and Daisuke of the Criminal Department will not make things difficult for the lord." At that time, as long as the lady and the young lord return safely, even if they form an alliance with the Oda family, what can they do with the lord? ”

"But....so you break your oath, how can that?" After all, Matsudaira Motoyasu was an orthodox samurai, and his thinking was outdated, and he couldn't accept this suggestion for a while.

Torii Tadayoshi smiled slightly, and persuaded again: "Hehe, lord, the Samurai of Mikawa have been bullied by the Imagawa family for decades, and what morality can they talk about!" ”

After listening, Matsudaira Motoyasu no longer hesitated, and Masase said: "This is reasonable, I have decided to form an alliance with the Oda family, and from today, the Matsudaira family will officially break away from Imagawa!" ”
