Matsukura Shigenobu understood it, and the underlying meaning of this was that the Takayama clan was willing to see him still talking, but this could not be blamed on the other party for being unreasonable, after all, the two families had no contact before, and now they asked the other party to help as soon as they came up, it was indeed a bit of a dream, but, in addition, there was no too good way, it seemed that there was only a day to say, if the Takayama clan was gone, then there was only another way.

Feeling uneasy, Matsukura Shigenobu stayed in another samurai mansion, and although it was getting late, he couldn't sleep anyway.

And after Omiya Keiren arranged Matsukura Shigenobu, he immediately called two ashigaru, and roughly explained the intention of the envoy of the Tsutsui family, and asked the two of them to go to the Sparrow House in Kyoto and report to the lord overnight.

Now the Takayama clan has been living in the sparrow house for about a month, because he has explained to Naya Sukezaemon that after he politely rejected those ministers, over time, those ministers have gradually given up, so in recent days, no one has come to disturb them.

Yesterday, the Takayama clan has received news that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has issued an order to withdraw the army, I am afraid that within two days, this order will reach the front line, since the Matsunaga army will retreat in a few days, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki will no longer send people to order his own army in the past few days, so there is no need for him to stay in Kyoto anymore, so the clan plans to leave here today.

However, when he just had this thought, he saw Katsusuke Tanaka walk in quickly after making a report, and behind him, there was also a heavy Fuji Bow Bow Light of the main family.

Seeing this, the clan couldn't help but ask directly: "But Omiya Jinglian has something to report." ”

The ashigaru came to the front and saluted respectfully and said, "The lord of the newspaper, the envoy of the Yamato Tsutsui family, Matsukura Shigenobu, came to Rakunaka Castle, hoping that the family can send troops to help him repel the Matsunaga army." ”

Matsunaga Shu led an army to attack the Tsutsui family, and the Takayama clan had heard about it before. And he also wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a painful lesson, so that he could also know the way of the dragon, and his own strength, but because the Miyoshi army was still attacking Shenglong Temple City. So he didn't dare to move lightly, and now the retreat of the Miyoshi Army is a foregone conclusion, so he has nothing to scruple about, thinking of this, he only heard him ask: "Well, what did the envoys of the Tsutsui family say?" ”

"Back to the lord. Omiya-sama ordered him to tell the lord ......, "Although this ashigaru doesn't talk about it very often, the clan has already learned about it.

It seems that this Tsutsui family has really come to the time of survival, otherwise Tsutsui Shunqing, as a believer, would never have sought his own Buddha enemy.

In the eyes of the clan, it is not impossible to go out into the army, especially since he has a deep enmity with Namatsu Namatsu, even if there is no Tsutsui family to ask for him, he will not easily spare him. However, the Tsutsui family is only willing to pay 1,000 kan as military expenses, which is too low.

Shima Katsu Takeshi? The name suddenly came to his mind, but he thought about it for a second time. If you want to let Shima Katsu Takeshi transfer to the main family, I'm afraid it's not very likely, if you put it before, the clan is a little sure, after all, he was just an unknown samurai at that time, but now it's different, Shima Katsu Takeshi in the battle with the Matsunaga family, his ability has been fully reflected, and now he is the first general of the Tsutsui family, so it's too difficult to let him turn to Shi.

But this Tsutsui family is for itself. What he wants most is Shima Shengmeng, and the rest, there is really nothing that he sees, since it is a little difficult to get him directly under his command, then there is only a second thing to retreat.

The clan thought that the Tsutsui family could be a vassal of the Oda family first. In this way, after Oda Nobunaga dies, he should also become the first person in the Oda family, and when the time comes, as long as Tsutsui Shunkei is not stupid, he will definitely throw himself into his command, and even he will throw himself into himself, and when he asks him for Shima Katsutoshi as a direct minister, he will never refuse. …,

In this case, it will not delay the family to compete for the world, and let the Tsutsui family be a vassal of the Oda family, and finally become his own command.

In addition, the power of the temple of Yamato Ichikoku is deep-rooted, and if you want to solve it by force, it will take a lot of effort, but if there is a Tsutsui family here, the effect will be very different, and you don't have to worry about those bald donkeys repeating yourself in the future.

Thinking of this, the clan had already made up his mind in his heart, and only heard him speak: "Well, I know the way, and I will set off immediately and return to Luozhong City." ”

Although Kyoto is not too far from Rakunaka Castle, it was already afternoon when the clan arrived at the castle.

And when Matsukura Shigenobu heard the news that Takayama-sama had returned to the city, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since Takayama-sama had returned, it proved that he should be willing to send troops to help his family through the difficulties.

"Matsukura-sama, my lord is invited." Not long after the Takayama clan returned, he sent someone to invite Matsukura Shigenobu to come.

Matsukura Shigenobu is unwilling to delay, the Takayama clan is not the same, the combat power of the Matsunaga army he has personally experienced, the elite degree of its military strength is not much worse than the strength of the army, and as for the Tsutsui family, although the clan does not know too much, but how much does it know, at present, the Tsutsui family is still dominated by peasants and soldiers, and even the flag is very few, with such a military situation, even if there is a city to follow, there is a brave island to win fiercely, it must be? p> Huang pry the mu Yun Zheng Sha pretended to blow all the Mi about the Shake Ai Shuye Xi Jun forgiveness? p>

After a short time, under the guidance of Ashigaru Hatamoto, Matsukura Shigenobu came to the hall of the samurai mansion where the Takayama clan lived.

"In the Shimotsui family, the envoy Matsukura Shigenobu will see Takayama-sama." Matsukura Shigenobu only glanced at Takayama-sama and lowered his head.

He didn't expect that Lord Takayama was a few years younger than himself, but the majesty exuded from his body was much stronger than that of the lord, especially with his majestic height, he didn't dare to look at it directly.

After hearing this, the clan nodded and said, "Lord Matsukura has worked hard from afar. ”

"Lord Takayama, this time in the next place, is to hope that the Lord can uphold justice for the Tsutsui family, Yamato a country since decades ago is the territory of the Tsutsui family, Namatsu Yongxiu bullied, led the army to attack, so that the family lost a large territory, and the family has just seen the improvement, it came to attack again, this time it is to lead two thousand elite troops to come, the family is really difficult to resist, so the head of my family sent to meet the Lord in the next place, I hope that the Lord can send the army to help, if the Lord agrees, my Lord is willing to offer a thousand as the military expenses of the army, and provide all the food and grass needed by the army, and ask the Takayama Lord to decide. ”

After hearing this, the Takayama clan shook his head and said unhurriedly: "Lord Matsukura, the clan has the important task of guarding Kyoto and protecting the shogun's family as the representative of the Kyoto office, and now the Miyoshi army is attacking the land of the shogun's house, and it is really not capable of fighting on multiple fronts. ”

Matsukura Shigenobu didn't believe the words of the clan at all, although he only stayed in this Luozhong City for one day, but he had already found that there were at least a thousand people in the city, if it was really said to the Takayama clan, then why didn't these troops go to Katsuryuji Castle to help in the war, but stationed here, so it can be seen from this point that Takayama Lord is not unwilling to send out the army, I am afraid that it is because the remuneration of his family is not enough, so he will say this.

And he didn't want to be dumbfounded with the Gaoshan Clan, so he just heard him ask directly: "I don't know how Lord Gaoshan is willing to send the army to help, and please speak clearly." ”

After hearing this, the Takayama clan couldn't help but glance at Matsukura Shigenobu with appreciation, since he was so upright, so the clan didn't want to go around in circles with him anymore, so he just heard him say: "No matter what conditions the adults put forward, the clan will not be moved, and the clan does have a task to do, and it is not appropriate to move lightly." But .........,

Speaking of this, the clan paused for a moment, Matsukura Shigenobu had already prepared, only to hear him hurriedly ask: "Please also speak clearly." ”

Clan Zong smiled and said: "If it is to help outsiders, then it can only be forgiven for the clan love, after all, most of the clan members are under the command of my family master, if I let the head of my family know the way, this is not something that the clan can afford, but if you go out to the army for the affairs of your own family, it will be very different, so it is not impossible to go out to help the Tsutsui family, but the prerequisite is that the Tsutsui family must be subordinate to the Oda family, and at least need to become a vassal of the Oda family, only then will the clan have a good reason, In order to help the army, I don't know if Matsukura-sama can be the master of the Tsutsui family. ”

"This ......" Matsukura Shigenobu thought that the Takayama clan was just trying to ask for more military spending, but his real purpose was to let the family return to the Oda family, and at worst to become a vassal of the Oda family, Guishun aside, even if it was just a vassal, then the family had lost its autonomy since that moment, and everything needed to obey the orders of the Oda family, such a major matter, he couldn't be the master, and this still needed the lord to decide, thinking of this, I saw Matsukura Shigenobu frowning and said: "Lord Takayama, this matter is too important, It's not a retainer of the Tsutsui family, so I really can't be the master......"

The Gaoshan Clan Sect had long known that he couldn't be the master, so he didn't open his mouth to force him, but just said lightly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”

The clan can not be in a hurry, but Matsukura Shigenobu can't not be in a hurry, Takayama clan is clearly telling himself, if he doesn't agree, then he will never go out to the army, it seems that he has no result in this empty consumption, so it's better to go back quickly and report this matter to the lord to know, whether it is successful or not, it is better to ask the lord to decide, if the lord does not agree, he will die for the Tsutsui family to be loyal.

"Lord Takayama, this matter is related to the future of the Tsutsui family, I really can't be the master in the next, I plan to return to Tsutsui City immediately to report this matter to the lord, I don't know if the adults can stay in this city for two more days, whether it succeeds or not, then I will definitely come to explain to the adults in person."
