Ohara Temple Ichiden was about to say two words of consolation, when a man with a spear suddenly ran in, and then said with a respectful face, "Master Ichiden, there is a messenger sent from Hanamaki Castle outside, asking to see." ”

"An emissary sent by Hanamaki Castle?"

"At this juncture, are you here to threaten me and wait?" Several monks were secretly thinking about something in their hearts.

While a few monks were thinking, several of the leaders of the mob who were anxious couldn't help it.

"Master Yideng is a matter of the lives of tens of thousands of people including me, and we can't be careless about the envoys of the Jinchuan family!" A man in his thirties with a black scarf said eagerly.

"As a soldier, the one who shouted a few days ago to attack Hanamaki Castle and seize food is you, if I'm not mistaken, right? Why are you starting to wag your tail like the Tsugawa family again? A man dressed in a light foot and a white turban on his head mocked.

"That is, none of these samurai are good people. Especially what is the Tsugawa family, saying that it will only collect sixty percent of the agricultural tax this year, but in fact, it is not eighty percent of the tax it is collected? A village chief from the Azenuma clan said resentfully, obviously hating the samurai class.

"Enough!" Ohara Temple Yilan walked out with a naginata in his hand, and looked around with a pair of seeping eyes, and the people who were originally shouting suddenly quieted down.

"When you only know how to quarrel, how can you get things done? Since the Tsukawa family salutes first and then soldiers, the poor monk wants to see what the Tsukawa family has in mind! Go and invite the messenger of the Tsugawa family in! Oharaji turned his head sideways and said loudly to the young man who had come in to report the news.

......

A quarter of an hour later, after seeing the samurai who called himself Yukihide Hazu enter the tent, Masasuke Kudo leaned his spear against the wooden fence on the side, then walked to the side and smiled at a young man in a daze and said, "Jiro, are you still thinking about that?" ”

The young man who was in a stunned state unconsciously shook his body when he heard the voice, turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Brother, do you want to go back?" Go back to the side of the murderer of his father and serve him? ”

"My father died at the hands of Xinhu Gong, and it has nothing to do with the current master." Kudo Shosuke sighed for a moment, and then suddenly said with a straight face, "Since my father's death, we have wandered Kanto like lost dogs. Now that Harunobu Hall has sent a letter to recall us, why don't you return to the Takeda family to revitalize the family name? ”

"We are samurai, so we should be proud of samurai. Back then, my father and Uncle Tiger were killed by Takeda Shintora, and now they have asked me to return to Kai to work for the Takeda family, which is ridiculous! The young man said angrily, "If my brother wants to be prosperous and rich, he can return to the Takeda family on his own, anyway, Takeda Harunobu is just trying to win over a group of old ministers, and my brother and I are the same." The general who commands 50 horsemen is really a condition that people can't refuse! With that, the young man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Genzaemon deserves to be Genzaemon, and your temper is exactly the same as your father's." Kudo Massuke seemed to be remembering something, "That's it, even my father will probably support your choice!" ”

"Then if you don't return to Kai, will you continue to wander in this world?" Kudo sat down next to his brother.

Kudo Genzaemon Yucho, that is, Kudo Massuke's younger brother, stood up at this time, and then whispered, "After my brother and I escaped from Kai, I have been to Kanto to Echigo, and I have even been to a few places in the near future, and I have seen all the daimyos, and there is no one on the right of Izugawa Izusuke!" The name of the Dewa Hokuto is the name we have heard the most since entering the Ou region. ”

"I have privately studied the history of the Tsugawa family, and it can be described as a miracle. In seven years, from a land of hundreds of stones to hundreds of thousands of stones across Ou, this is not something that ordinary samurai can do! ”

"And our Takeda family head Takeda Harunobu has such strength since he inherited the family governor, and he has only conquered a few counties so far? Isn't it clear which is stronger or weaker between the two? ”

"So, Genzaemon are you planning to leave the Shizugawa family?" Kudo Masasuke looked around carefully before continuing.

"Not bad!" Kudo Yucho nodded, "The rise of the Tsugawa family is still short, and the Tsugawa family is the only one, if I wait for the Tsugawa family, with the talent of the elder brother, I will be able to quickly become the pillar of the Tsugawa family, and then I can revive the name of the family, why pretend to be the mercy of the enemy?" ”

"Genzaemon, are you serious? You need to know that my mother's last wish is for us to return to Kai and correct my father's name! Wash away the shame for the Kudo family! Kudo tried to continue to comfort the younger brother in front of him, but it was clear that the latter did not have the will to do so.

"Brother, don't you need the Takeda family's charity to correct your father's name? What about even a general who commands fifty horsemen? What the enemy gave him away, are we still rushing to it? Yucho Kudo was clearly determined, staring at Kudo Shosuke with an unmistakable look.

Kudo Shosuke exhaled deeply, and then put his arm around Kudo Yucho's neck, "The Tsugawa family has a messenger, the leaders of these mobs and those monks who have always been sectarians are all in the big tent and the like, if we can make this achievement, we will have the posture of advancement, you should know what to do, right?" ”

"Isn't this exactly what I followed these people all the way?" In response to Kudo Shosuke was a mouthful of white teeth from Yunaga Kudo.

......

Kudo Massuke and Kudo Yunaga are a pair of brothers who were born in Suruga Province, and their father, Kudo Tora Toyotoki, came out of Kai to protect Takeda Shintora.

In the 5th year of Tenmon (1536), the head of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Clan, passed away, and his successors will be from Umegake Seiyoyoshi (Imagawa Yoshimoto), born to Shou Guini Masamuro, and Genhiro Meguman (Imagawa Yoshima), born to the Fukushima clan of the side room.

The two sides fought over the succession of the family governor, and because Umegaku Seiyoshi had the help of Masamuro Shouguini and Taiyuan Yukisai, many Imagawa retainers and Ichimen such as Sena Mutsu Mamoru Sada, Asahina Bichumori Taino, and Sekiguchi Clan Hiroshi were on Umegaku Seiyoshi's side.

Naturally, Meiyue Chengfang gained the upper hand in the battle for the governor of the family, and in the end, Meiyue Chengfang's side captured Hanakura Castle and successfully succeeded to the throne of the Imagawa family!

And Kudo Tora was friends with Fukushima Masanari, who supported Genhiro Keitan's side, so at the beginning, under the mediation of Fukushima Masanari and Kudo Torato, Takeda Nobuta, the Takeda family governor next door to Suruga, agreed to form an alliance with Genkohiro Keitan's side and sent troops to help Genkoshi Keitan seize the position of family governor.

But what he didn't expect was that Takeda Shinhu had already reached a secret agreement with Mei Yue Chengfang in private, so he stood still in the battle between Mei Yue Chengfang and Xuan Guanghui, and finally sat back and watched Xuan Guanghui's army defeat and die.

Kudo Toratotaka didn't know until the end that he had been deceived by Takeda Shintora, and he was very angry. At this time, Takeda Nobuta ordered that all the defeated samurai who fled to Kai on the side of Genhiro Megumi's side should be killed on the spot.
