Togo Yoshisuke and Tendo Yorisada left the castle tower, and the temple suddenly fell silent for a while.

Everyone sat in their seats without saying a word, their heads bowed, not knowing what they were thinking.

At this time, the head of the Narisheng family, one of the eight top hats, suddenly said, "I think the proposal of the Tsugawa family is very good, and it can provide strong reinforcements for the war between us and the Mogami family, and if the Tsugawa family is openly on our side, then according to the temperament of the most senior Yoshimori, maybe the pressure of the Tsugawa family will be soft on us." ”

"Isn't that what we've always wanted?" Cheng Sheng said with a smile on his face.

After listening to the words of Shengmankane, the head of the Togen family, who was sitting next to Chengsheng Mankane, turned his head and said to Chengsheng Mankane, "I don't dare to agree with the words of Bo Qishou. ”

"What is the Tsugawa family? Jackals too! ”

"The Mogami family is also our clan, and the Tsugawa family is an outsider! This is originally a family matter that we are waiting for, and even if we fight fiercely with Mogami Yoshimori, it will only be an internal strife. And if the Tsugawa family intervenes, it will be a collusion with outsiders to deal with the Zong family. ”

"Do you want to bear such an infamy?"

"Besides, the strength of the Tsugawa family is so strong! Even if the Tsugawa family keeps its promise this time, they will retire after the deed! But what about next time? ”

"Tsugawa Soji is only in his twenties, and he has developed the Tsugawa family to its current scale, and it can be called the first person in Ou, even if it is on a par with Date Minoru Zongden, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration!"

"Such a young man is the time when his heart is higher than the sky and he intends to show his strength. According to the development trend of the Tsugawa family, sooner or later it will invade the Hazen area. Now, if we join forces with the Tsugawa family for a momentary benefit, do you know that we will not become the next top family? Togen said with a worried face.

After listening to Togen Masanaga's words, many people in the hall nodded in agreement.

Shiratori Yoshihisa said directly and loudly, "What Togen-sama said is true! Although this family is not a division of the top family, but they are also from the country of Yumae, and they have to stand up and say a fair word! ”

"This time, the Tsugawa family sent troops to support us, maybe it was just under the guise of the incident at Mogami this time! Supporting us is just an excuse, a superficial trend, and maybe there is a deeper meaning behind it! ”

Shiratori-sama continued. Tiantong Lai Chang was not in a hurry at this time, and decided to listen to everyone's opinions slowly.

Shiratori Yoshihisa hurriedly continued, "Maybe the Tsugawa family's move is just a test of our Hazen region?" The purpose is to see how the combat power of our Hazen region is, so that the Tsugawa family can accurately estimate the combat power of our others, so as to prepare for the invasion of Hazen in the future? ”

"Exactly!" The words of Higashi Masanaga and Shiratori seemed to open up the conversation, and everyone in the hall spoke their thoughts one after another.

Kumano Naganobu also said in a muffled voice, "I can't guarantee it, the Tsugawa family wants us to fight harder, so that the Tsugawa family can take advantage of the weakness!" ”

"That's right! The alliance with the Tsugawa family is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, and we resolutely cannot agree! ”

"That's it! What kind of thing is his Tsugawa family? Going back more than ten years, he is just a broken hillbilly, what qualifications do you have to meddle in our most important affairs? ”

"Whew! It is said everywhere that the Tsugawa family is a branch of the Mino guardian of the Toki clan, but it is just a sinister and cunning person! We samurai are ashamed to be in the company of them! ”

For a while, the castle tower of Tendo City exploded. Everyone is saying what you say, and each of you is expressing its own opinions, but it boils down to one meaning, that is, resolutely not to let the Tsugawa family send troops.

Tiantong Lai Chang originally had a glimmer of hope for this matter, but seeing that everyone's attitude was so resolute, and what everyone said was also very reasonable, he had no choice but to say, "Since this is the case, then refuse the Jinchuan family!" ”

..........

In less than half an hour, Togo Yoshisuke returned to the castle tower of Tendo Castle again.

And this time when he entered the castle tower, Togo Yoshisuke found that the eyes of the people in the temple were a little unfriendly.

Just when Togo Yoshisuke was wondering, Tiantong Yoshicho took the lead and said, "Togo-sama, just now I carefully considered Togo-sama's proposal, and we agreed that there is no need for the Tsugawa family to intervene in this matter, thank you Tsugawa-sama for your kindness." ”

"Why is that?" Togo Yoshiyu said with a puzzled face, "Do you still have any doubts?" ”

"No, no, no!" Tiantong Lai Chang shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm confident that I can defeat the Mogami family with my own strength, so I don't plan to trouble Tsugawa-sama." ”

"Tento-sama really isn't thinking about it?" Togo Yoshiyu asked again with some reluctance.

Tiantong Lai Chang said with a resolute face: "Lord Dongxiang doesn't need to say much, this is our conclusion after careful consideration!" ”

"Huh.........." Hearing Tiantong Laichang's affirmative reply, Togo Yoshiyu let out a sigh of disappointment, and then said helplessly, "Since that's the case, then it's going to bother you." If there is nothing else to do, then I will retire first. ”

"But next year, the family will definitely send troops to Yamagata Castle, I just hope that you will not be surprised by then!" Togo Yoshiyu continued.

Tiantong Lai Chang's face was the same, "Since it's next year, let's wait until next year." Maybe after Togo-sama returned to Ueno Castle, Tsugawa-sama changed his mind? ”

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better." Togo Yoshiyu replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

.........

Togo Yoshiyu came full of hope, but returned full of disappointment.

Two days later, Togo Yoshisuke returned to Ueno Castle and immediately found Soji Tsugawa.

After hearing Togo Yoshiyu's words, Tsugawa Soji suddenly said angrily, "I really don't know how to lift!" ”

Originally, Tsugawa Soji also planned to conquer the Hazen region by a more moderate means. Soji Tsugawa originally thought that he could muddy the waters in the Hazen area, and then the Tsugawa family gave both the Mogami family and the Tendo family "support" through 0, giving them confidence and provoking the two sides to fight again. Then the Tsugawa family took advantage of the situation and waited for both sides to lose and achieve their goal at the lowest cost.

But I didn't expect that Mogami, who originally thought it was the most difficult to get it, was the best to speak. On the contrary, the attitude of many people such as the Tiantong family is so resolute, which makes Tsugawa Soji miscalculate.

Tsugawa Soji didn't expect that these countrymen would be so sober-minded in terms of right and wrong. If you are an ordinary national force, when you get the support of such a powerful force as the Tsugawa family, you will definitely be overjoyed, but in front of the people of Yuzen, it is not easy to do it.

"Lord, in this case, will the family still send troops to the Yuqian region next year as originally planned?" Togo Yoshiyu said to Soji Tsugawa with a worried face at this time.

Soji Tsugawa replied without hesitation, "The dispatch of troops is definitely going to be made, but this plan has to be changed!" Let the family think about it, this matter is not in a hurry, take your time........"
