In Anton's own formation, everyone's faces were a little unpleasant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In today's war, the Andong family, which obviously had the advantage in strength, was actually given the upper hand by the Tsugawa family, which was at a disadvantage. The blazing ambition that Anton Shunji ignited in his heart at this time was also extinguished.

"The Tsugawa family, is it really invincible?" Anton Shunji muttered in his mouth.

At this time, Kubota Ieji, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, said, "Antonden, I think we can implement the second step plan." ”

"What do you mean?" Anton Shunji's face changed when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly burst into a glimmer of light.

Kubota Ieji slowly said, "Not bad! At this point, since the head-to-head duel with the Tsugawa family is not yet able to tell the winner, it is useless to waste troops and time here. It's time to implement the second step of the plan. ”

Anton Shunji nodded and said slowly, "Then leave this matter to Kubota-sama to deal with." ”

"Hah!"

......................

The news of the battle between the Tsugawa family and the Anto family has swept through the entire Northern Ou region, and even the central and even southern regions of the Ou region have some rumors.

Some forces were very happy about this, such as the southern Harimasa of Sanhe Castle and the Daikaku (Asari) Katsuyori of Okatsujo. Of course, there are still some forces that are watching and waiting, such as the wealthy Daihoji family in the Shonai area.

The Daihoji family is the most powerful force in the area of Dewa Kunisho. The coastal area of Tagawa-gun, which controls the Hazen region, is more or less dominated by the wealthy clans around it.

Even some of the Yuri factions in Yuri County, such as the Niga Ho family, have always been at the mercy of the Daihoji family.

The Daihoji family has been the head of the Shonai region since the Kamakura period, and his real surname is Muto, and he is a descendant of Fujiwara Michicho. In addition to the Shonai area, the original territory of the Daihoji family also had part of the territory of Musashi Province, and because they were the Fujiwara clan in Musashi Province, they were renamed the Muto clan, and then the Muto family worked for Minamoto Yorito.

Later, Muto Shiyori made meritorious service in the crusade against the Oshu Fujiwara clan, and was worshiped as Dazai Shaoji and transferred to Kyushu, and the ancestral territory of the Dewa Kunisunai region was left to his younger brother Muto Clan. Muto Nagamori, the fifth-generation head of the Muto clan after the Muto clan, moved to Daihoji Temple, and was renamed the Daihoji clan.

Although the Dahoji family is a powerful country member of Tagawa County, its strength is even more powerful, not only the territory is rich in products and fertile land, but also has a rigid space in the territory for foreign trade. What's more, the Dabaoji family also has such an important material as salt.

But the Dabao Temple family is now strong in the middle. In addition to the Daihoji family, there are four wealthy families in the Shonai area. They are the Tosa Lin family, the Tozenji family, the Kuraiji family of Satsukai County, and the four wealthy families of the Satsukoshi family.

The apparent harmony of the Shonai area was shattered in the previous two years.

The cause of the incident was the issue of the heir of the Daihoji family.

In the tenth year of the Astronomical Dynasty, the 15th generation of the Dahoji clan from the five doctors of the lower Sakyo clan, he died of illness in November after returning to Japan at the age of 22. Since the Great Jewel has no queen, then the opportunity to inherit the family governor falls to the younger brother Shiro and the younger brother Kuro of the Great Jewel Harutoki.

It stands to reason that as the younger brother of the big jewel Harumi, Shiro should be the most likely to inherit the family governor. However, Shiro had already passed on to the Satsukoshi family at this time, and Kuro had the support of wealthy families such as the Tosa Lin family, and defeated Shiro in one fell swoop to succeed him as the family governor, and changed his name to Daihoji Yoshizo.

Shiro Satsugoe, who failed in the battle for the governor, was furious. The previous Satsushi family did not deal with the Dabaoji family, and the drip of the Satsushi family was even extinct by the Dabaoji family. Under the new hatred and old hatred, Shiro Satsugoshi immediately raised troops to attack the Dahoji family.

Subsequently, the wealthy families such as the Dahoji family and the Satsushi family began a two-year battle.

Originally, the Daihoji family, as the de facto subordinate force of the Echigo Uesugi family, has always been backed by the Echigo Uesugi family. The Sarawatsu family is supported by the Minato-Andong family. Minato's willingness to support the Sarawatsu family is because the Daihoji family and the Minato family have been fighting openly and secretly for the control of Yuri-gun.

However, with the destruction of the Minato family, after the news of the war between the Tsugawa family and the Hiyama Andong family came, the mind of Daihoji Yoshizen began to come alive.

In terms of strength, the Dabao Temple family is by no means comparable to the Sarawashi family. After losing the support of the Minato family, Daihoji Yoshizen was very confident that he could easily defeat the Sakoshi family and get rid of this thorn in the side of the Daihoji family.

The Daihoji family is located in Ogasa Castle on the sea. The original Tsuruoka Castle was burned down in the early years, and Ogasa Castle was established later, and Ogasa Town, to which Ogasaki Castle belongs, has a large port, but of course there is still a big gap in scale compared to Tsuchizaki Minato.

In the Ogasa Castle Castle Tower, Daihoji Yoshizen summoned the retainers of the Daihoji family, Yoshiki Abe, Okuni Inabamori Yoshinao, Takasaka Masakatsu, and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just found out the news from the north, and the Minato family has been destroyed by the Hiyama Anto family, and the Hiyama Anto family is currently fighting with the newly rising Tsugawa family. In this way, the time has finally come for us to destroy the Sagosu family! Dabao Temple Yoshizen said excitedly to the retainers in the hall.

"My lord! This is God help my Dabao Temple family! The lord of Maruoka Castle, Yoshiki Abe, laughed and said, "Without the support of the Minato family, the Satsushi family has nothing to worry about!" In Shimohara as a striker, for the lord to capture Sarawa-Yue Castle! ”

"Good! Yoshiki Abe, you deserve to be the pillar of the family! Dabaoji Yoshizen said with a smile, "So, three days later, you, as the forward, will send troops to destroy the Sagosu family!" ”

"Hah!"

At this moment, a small surname came to the side of Dabao Temple and said, "My lord, Lord Tosa Lin outside the hall asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." Dabaoji Yoshizen nodded and said.

After a short time, the little surname entered the castle tower with the head of the Tosa Lin family, Tosa Lin Zendong.

The Tosa Lin family has always been good friends with the Dabao Temple family, and the two families almost wore a pair of pants. Therefore, Yoshizen of Dahoji Temple has always been grateful to Tosabin Zendong.

"Lord Tosabin, please take a seat." Daihoji Yoshizen stood up and said, "I don't know what happened to Lord Tosabin visiting my Opu Castle today?" ”

Tosabin Zendong sat down with a solemn expression, and then said, "Lord Daihoji, this family has just received the news. The Sarawatsu family has formed an alliance with the Tsujijia and the Tozenji family in Mankai County yesterday! ”

"In addition, Sawakoshi Zong is about to marry the daughter of the Shimizu Yoshitaka Hall of Mogami County." Tosabin said slowly.

"What!" Dabao Temple Yoshizen's face changed suddenly, and he asked eagerly, "Is the news true?" ”

Tosabin Zendong nodded and replied affirmatively, "It's absolutely true, I believe that in two days, this news will spread all over our Tagawa County." ”

"Alas!" Dabao Temple Yoshizen said unwillingly: "How could the Tozenji family and the Laiji family suddenly unite with the Satsushi family? Even Shimizu Yoshitaka has to go against the family? ”

"In addition, Anton Shunji, the head of the Hiyama Andong family, sent someone to send a letter, please take a look at the Dabao Temple!" With that, Tosabin Chando handed a letter to Yoshizensin of Daihoji Temple.

After receiving the letter, Yoshizen of Dahoji took it and looked at it cursoryly, then threw it aside, thinking about it with a cloudy face..............
