Chapter 397: There is an opportunity

In Xingjin, Matsushita Kabei saw that the Takayama Army had left, and while feeling relaxed, he felt a little disappointed, with the current reputation of the Takayama clan, if he could become his retainer, then his reputation would also increase, but he failed to seize the opportunity, but he could save his life in front of the Takayama Army, which is definitely an enviable thing, and he still don't think about it.

Therefore, after the Gaoshan army outside the mountain army left, he did not dare to delay for half a minute, and immediately led several cronies to go straight to the far river.

Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was personally directing the battle outside Tsushima Castle, saw that someone was coming to vote, and the irritability of the attack being blocked in the past few days also disappeared a lot, but just when Matsudaira Motoyasu just wanted to accept Matsushita and the guards, he heard Ishikawa quickly persuade him: "The lord must not accept this person." ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu couldn't help but be stunned at first after hearing this, this is a great opportunity for him to invade Suruga, if he waits for the Takeda family to seize the entire territory of Suruga, then there will be no chance.

This is something that is beneficial to the family, how can he give up easily, Matsudaira Motoyasu has been a hostage in Junfu City for many years, of course, he also knows that Matsushita Kabei is not a talent, and the reason why he wants to take in the other party is not to take in his hundreds of stone territory.

It is said that if it were placed in normal times, these hundreds of stone territory would not be taken into the eyes of Matsudaira Motoyasu at all, but this time it was different, the land under the rule of Matsushita and the military guard not only bordered the country of Enoe, but more importantly, if the land of several hundred stones was controlled, it would be equivalent to opening the road to Suruga and controlling the gateway to the near Enoe.

Back then, due to the Imagawa family's control of the three three kingdoms of Junyuan, this place had no effect, so it would be given to Matsushita and Jiabei, but now it is different, the land that was originally of no strategic significance has become a strategic place, as long as it can hold this place tightly in his hands, then it is equivalent to cutting off one of the ways of the Takeda family's army.

Now that he has sent it to the door himself, how can Matsudaira Motoyasu be willing to give up easily. Thinking of this, I only heard him ask, "Oh? What do you think is wrong? ”

I only heard Ishikawa Shumasa speak again: "My lord, the covenant between the family and the Takeda family has mentioned that Enoe belongs to the family, and Suruga belongs to Takeda, if the lord agrees to the return of Matsushita and the guard, it will be tantamount to violating the covenant, in case the Takeda family uses this as an excuse to invade the family after capturing Suruga, then how can it resist?" Please also think twice. ”

These Matsudaira Motoyasu had already thought of it, but in his opinion, a battle with the Takeda family was a matter of time, even if he did not accept Matsushita Kabei's submission, with Takeda Shingen's endless appetite, he would definitely come to his own territory, since he had to face Takeda whether he accepted it or not, he would not occupy the favorable terrain first, and wait for him to attack.

Moreover, the reason why Matsudaira Motoyasu, who has always been cautious, is so bold is because he received a report from the ninja, although the Takeda family is still continuing to carry out the Suruga strategy, however, Takeda Shingen has already transferred Akabei to Higashi-Suruga to fight against the Hojo family a few days ago, although the Hojo family is not as elite as the Takeda family's Akabei, but it is better than the number of people, and more than twice as many as the other party.

In terms of overall strength, the strength of the Hojo family is still greater than that of the Takeda family, and now that the two are at war, they will definitely be the same as the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, and the two defeats will be injured, and it is estimated that this battle will also be protracted, and when this battle is over, after the Takeda family rests, I am afraid that the family has already been prepared, and there is the Oda family as a backer, not necessarily to lose to Takeda.

If he didn't take advantage of this great opportunity to fish in the waters, he would never have a chance in the future, so Matsudaira Motoyasu dared to accept Matsushita Kabei's allegiance.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Takeda Shingen regards the covenant as child's play, otherwise there would be no battle of Suruga today, if only the family abides by it, it will be harmed, rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the time when the Takeda family is overwhelmed to deal with it, and gain enough strength, so that even if the Takeda family tears up the covenant in the future, the family also has the power to fight, and I have decided to surrender Matsushita and Jiabei, so you don't need to persuade more." …,

The family's top priority now is to capture the city of the horse and the high heavenly god city, as long as the country of Yuanjiang is captured again, then the family will also have more than 500,000 stones, even if the two families start a war, they will not necessarily lose to each other. ”

Ishikawa Shumasa saw that the lord had made up his mind, and he didn't say much, and what the lord just said was not unreasonable, so why did he bother to make the lord angry, so he just listened to him and said: "What the lord said is, however, the subordinates think that Matsushita and the guards are incompetent, and if they are still allowed to guard at the forefront of their families, I am afraid that they will be incompetent. ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu couldn't help but nod after hearing this, Ishikawa Shumasa's words were reasonable, and he immediately ordered: "Call Matsushita Kabei to see me." ”

It didn't take long, I saw Matsushita Kabei walk in in a panic, more than ten years ago in Junfu Castle he had seen Matsudaira Motoyasu, at that time he was just a hostage, a little uncomfortable, it was likely to be a different head, but only a dozen years, the other party has not only grown into a world-famous samurai, and the land under his rule is nearly 500,000 stones, under his leadership, the Matsudaira family has also become strong from the original weak.

And looking at himself, ten years ago, he was the general of the Imagawa family, with seven hundred stone Zhixing of Xingjin, and ten years later, not only did his identity not change, but even the Zhixing under his rule did not change, and now the only thing that has changed is that when Matsudaira Motoyasu saw him, he would respectfully call Matsushita-sama, and now he wants to bow down to him and feel honored to be his retainer, which makes him feel a little ashamed.

I saw Matsushita Kabei walk quickly to the middle of the big tent, saluted respectfully and said, "In Shimomatasonic Kabei, I have come to surrender to Matsudaira-sama and ask your lord to accept it." ”

I saw Matsudaira Motoyasu said with a kind face: "Adults and I are old acquaintances, so why be so polite, get up and talk quickly." ”

"Yes, thank you Lord Matsudaira, this time the Takeda family is attacking, and the Imagawa family is afraid that it will be difficult to resist, and I don't want to go to the Takeda, so I am willing to raise the city to Lord Shun, and please take it in."

"Matsushita-sama can come, Motoyasu is very pleased, how can he not accept it. However, the land under the rule of the adult is at the forefront of the family, and Yuankang is afraid that the adult will lose, so he is willing to exchange the eight hundred stone territory in the Yuanjiang country with the adult, I don't know if the adult is willing? ”

Matsushita Kabei didn't hesitate for a moment after hearing this, and said directly: "Thank you lord, my subordinates will swear allegiance to the Matsudaira family." ”

The Matsudaira plus the guard also knew that if he returned to the Matsudaira family, his own Zhixing would become the forefront of the Matsudaira family, and his biggest ideal in this life was to spend his life in peace and stability, not to mention the addition of a hundred stones of land, even if he didn't, he was very willing to move to the rear, only in this way could he complete his ideal.
