The envoy of the Matsudaira family, Ishikawa Shumasa, and the deputy envoy Hiraiwa Qinyoshi, saw that the clan had a tough attitude and had no room for negotiation, so they had to embark on the way home with grief and indignation.

As soon as the two of them arrived at Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu immediately gathered all the ministers in the family. An evaluation meeting was held at the castle tower.

After seeing that the retainers had arrived, Matsudaira Motoyasu took the lead in speaking: "It's really hard for the two of you to go to Owari, I don't know what the result of the alliance is?" ”

Ishikawa Shumasa said with an embarrassed face: "Lord, his subordinates are incompetent, although the two alliances are promising, but their conditions are too harsh, so I can only ask the lord to decide." After speaking, Ishikawa Shu took out a handbook from his arms and raised it respectfully.

Matsudaira Motoyasu glanced at the attendant beside him, and the attendant immediately stepped forward, took the codex, and presented it to the lord.

Matsudaira Motoyasu carefully browsed the codex, and after seeing the name of the Takayama clan in the place below, he immediately thought of Bihai County, and his heart suddenly burned with anger, the day before yesterday there was the hatred of seizing the land, and today there is the hatred of insult, Takayama clan, I, Matsudaira Motoyasu, vow to break you into ten thousand pieces!

Although Matsudaira Motoyasu was angry at the peak in his heart, after all, he was a person who was extremely able to forbear, so he did not attack directly, but forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Let's take a look, everyone." With that, he handed the codex into the hands of his attendants and asked the retainers to circulate it among themselves.

There weren't many words on the codex, and it wasn't long before the codex was handed over to Matsudaira Motoyasu from the last person. The retainers were also indignant when they saw that the terms written above were all unfavorable to the Matsudaira family.

Matsudaira Motoyasu's eyes swept down, and the expressions of the retainers were in full view, and now the retainers were already angry, if this continued, I am afraid it would be a major delay. He couldn't help frowning, now that the family had broken away from Imagawa, if he didn't form an alliance with the Oda family, how could the Matsudaira family survive? However, if these conditions are agreed, it will be even more difficult for the Matsudaira family to develop. The people of the three rivers are narrow and poor, how can they afford the above expenses? Thinking of this, I only heard Matsudaira Motoyasu say: "Everyone, if you have any opinions on this clause, you might as well say it directly." ”

Hiraiwa Qinyoshi is a person who has experienced it firsthand, and when he saw the lord asking, he said loudly: "My lord, my subordinates think that war should be declared on the Oda family, and with the courage of my Mikawa samurai, although the Oda family army is numerous, what is there to fear, please decide the lord." ”

"Lord, subordinates also mean the same, the Oda family deceives people too much, if it goes on like this for a long time, what is the difference between this and the Imagawa family before? The subordinates believe that only a war can make the Matsudaira family rise now. Gao Li Qingchang took over the conversation and said angrily.

Most of the ministers then persuaded Matsudaira Motoyasu to send troops to Owari. Matsudaira Motoyasu is still self-aware, so don't look at the persuasion of his retainers, but he has never thought about going to the army, but there is no good way to do it for a while, so he can't sign the agreement directly.

Just when Matsudaira Motoyasu hesitated, another person who witnessed it, Ishikawa Shumasa, opened his mouth and said loudly: "If you follow the words of your lords, the Matsudaira family will be destroyed. After speaking, he hurriedly said respectfully to Matsudaira Motoyasu: "Lord, my subordinates have a plan to profit from, I don't know if the lord can dare to use it." ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and when he saw that he finally had a different suggestion, he hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly." ”

"Yes, the subordinates thought that this alliance agreement should not only be signed, but also self-imposed conditions, according to the subordinates' intentions, this profit is a little more than forty percent, and when the lord signed the agreement with Oda Nobunaga, he only said that it was enough to account for thirty percent. Other conditions should be conceded again. ”

As soon as Ishikawa Shumasa finished speaking, there was an uproar in the assessment room, if it weren't for the fact that the retainers knew that he was loyal to the lord, they would have thought that he had rebelled.

For what he just said, Ishikawa Shumasa did not say anything, but after some careful consideration, he dared to say it. When he thought that when he was in Otakashiro, the Takayama clan changed the terms of the alliance at will, and he knew that it was not Oda Nobunaga's hand. Then he thought that Oda Nobunaga had the will to form an alliance with the Matsudaira family, otherwise after the battle of Tsukasayama back then, wouldn't it save the trouble now by directly waving his army to attack Mikawa? And Nobunaga is a person with a very good face, as long as he surrenders his conditions in public, then Nobunaga has no possibility of agreeing, and it is very likely that the Matsudaira family will be treated equally, at least the agreement can be kept unchanged.

This plan seems to be difficult and dangerous, but it is actually safe, thinking of this, Ishikawa Shuzheng couldn't help but secretly get proud, and said in his heart, Takayama Clan! If you use a trick to deceive the world and cross the sea, you will put the Matsudaira family in danger, then I will use it to retreat to break it. ,

After listening to Matsudaira Motoyasu, he was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it, he understood Ishikawa Shumasa's strategy, which was really suitable to deal with the arrogant Nobunaga, and when he thought of the happy place, even Matsudaira Motoyasu, who had always been unsmiling, couldn't help but laugh.

The retainers saw that the lord behaved abnormally, and they were a little at a loss, the lord wouldn't make Ishikawa Shumasa mad, right, now that the young lord is young, and the situation of the Matsudaira family is so grim, how can this be good?

The retainers stared at Ishikawa Shumasa viciously, and at the same time anxiously persuaded him: "My lord, for the sake of the Matsudaira family, you must take care of your health." ”

After Matsudaira Motoyasu laughed wildly, his face changed, and he said very seriously: "Everyone, I have decided to form an alliance with the Oda family and go to Owari Kiyosu Castle in ten days. ”

"The lord is wise."

"My lord, you must not."

"The lord Qingzhou City can't go."

……

"Shut up, I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, just step down." Then he said to Ishikawa Shumasa, "You come with me." After saying that, Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't care about everyone and walked into the inner room quickly, while Ishikawa Shumasa followed quickly.

Ten days later, Matsudaira Motoyasu, Ishikawa Shumasa, Sakai Tadaji, Honda Tadakatsu, Kamihara Yasumasa and other samurai and 60 banners appeared at Kiyosu Castle.

Oda Nobunaga attached great importance to the arrival of Matsudaira Motoyasu, and not only sent Niwa Nagahide to the border to greet him, but also personally greeted him 5 miles away from Kiyosu Castle, and the entire Kiyosu Castle was even more colorful.

In the assessment room of Kiyosu Castle, Nobunaga and Matsudaira Motoyasu sat opposite each other, and the two retainers sat on both sides. After everyone was seated, Murai Sadakatsu respectfully placed the two covenants in front of Nobunaga and Matsudaira Motoyasu.

Before Nobunaga could read the above clause, he heard Matsudaira Motoyasu say: "Lord Owari Mamoru has a slight objection to this covenant below, and the Matsudaira family is small and weak, so how can it take advantage of forty percent, and I think that thirty percent is enough, and I ask the adults to decide." Although Matsudaira Motoyasu's face was calm, his heart was uneasy, if Nobunaga agreed, then the Matsudaira family would never have a future.

Regarding the alliance between the two families, Nobunaga's bottom line is that the family does not suffer losses, and there is no intention of profiting from it at all, and he is not very concerned about this alliance, so he has not looked at it. Now listening to Matsudaira Motoyasuichi, I feel that the situation seems to be a little wrong, so I can't help but take a closer look.

I was only halfway through it, but I saw Nobunaga's face change, and he said with a cold face: "Senbei! ”

Seeing that Nobunaga's face was not good, the clan knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly replied, "My subordinates are here." ”

Nobunaga crumpled the covenant in his hand, slashed at the clan, and scolded: "Bastard, you dare to sabotage the major affairs of the two alliances, and you won't let me get out!" ”

"Yes, please calm the anger of the lord and retire his subordinates." After saying that, the clan was about to get up and leave, but just as he got up, he saw Ishikawa Shuzheng sitting opposite and couldn't help sneering at himself, and scolded in his heart, it turned out that it was your grandson who made it bad, we don't change the green mountains, the green water flows forever, and sooner or later there will be a day when Lao Tzu will take revenge.

Seeing that the clan stood still, Nobunaga scolded again: "Don't get out yet!" ”

"Yes, yes, the subordinates retired."

Although Nobunaga said harshly, he didn't get angry in his heart, he knew that this Takayama clan was also thinking about his family, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as letting him go. And soon after Matsudaira Motoyasu spoke, he had already seen that this was just a ploy by the other party's envoy, but the matter had come to this point, and Nobunaga had only wronged the clan in order not to let the Mikawa samurai look down on him.

After the clan's demise, Nobunaga dictated and Murai Sadakatsu wrote it, and it wasn't long before a new covenant was drawn up, with all the terms of the treaty changed to an equal treaty, except that Bikai Prefecture still belonged to the Oda family.

This made Matsudaira Motoyasu very excited.
