On April 10, the 13th year of the Astronomical year, Tsugawa Soji sent Togo Yoshisuke, the foreign affairs secretary of the Tsugawa family, as an envoy to Minato Castle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Regarding the arrival of Dongxiang Yoshiyu, Anton Tongji and others did not dare to slack off. Although the relationship between the Tsugawa family and the Minato family has been a little tense recently, isn't there no official war yet? At least at this time, the Tsugawa family and the Minato family are still a pair of "good friends", and there is still to be attention and courtesy on the surface.

"Lord Togo, don't come unharmed." After everyone came to the castle tower and sat down, Anton Tongji was the first to speak, "I don't know why Togo-sama came this time?" ”

Togo Yoshisuke smiled and said, "Lord Anton, this time I came to discuss a matter with you on the orders of the lord of the family. ”

Anton Tongji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and an ominous premonition filled Anton Tongji's mind. However, Anton Tongji still said quietly: "Please also ask Lord Dongxiang to speak up." ”

"In that case, then I'll be blunt." Dongxiang Yoshiyu nodded, and then said, "Since the death of your Yao Ji Gong, the strength of the Minao Andong family has been greatly damaged. To the north, the Hiyama Anto family has always coveted Minato Castle, the largest port in our Kita-Ou region. ”

Anton Tongji didn't show anything on the surface when he heard this, but he snorted coldly in his heart, Anton Shunji is like this, isn't there anything in your Tsugawa family?

Togo Yoshisuke saw that Anton didn't speak, so he continued, "Now, according to the strength of the Minato Anto family, I'm afraid I can't resist the attack of the Hiyama Andong family. Although my family is your ally, I also suffered a lot of losses last time I supported you. ”

"According to the agreement, although you will provide 500 kan per year with the family, in fact, 500 kan is no longer enough for the family to risk war with the Hiyama Andong family. Therefore, I came down this time to discuss the covenant between you and me with Lord Anton. Togo Yoshiyu said slowly.

After Togo Yoshiyu finished speaking, before Anton Toji could speak, Toshima Shigemasa on the side couldn't help it, and immediately said in a loud voice, "Togo-sama, it seems that you are going to break the alliance with your family?" ”

Togo Yoshisuke hurriedly replied, "This is the lord of Toshima Castle, Toshima Shigemasama." ”

"In fact, this family is also helpless, most of the retainers in the family are unwilling to fight with the Hiyama Andong family, and the lord is also very helpless. If you have any dissatisfaction with this, please bear with me. Togo Yoshiyu said apologetically.

"Humph!" Toshima Shigemasa said loudly, "Then there is also a question I want to ask Togo-sama!" ”

"Lord Toshima, please speak." Togo Yoshiyu said calmly.

"Recently, you have been building a castle on Mt. Ueno, but you are going to use troops against me? So the Lord of Dongxiang came to discuss with the family about breaking the covenant? Toshimashima Shigemasa said loudly.

"Haha!" Togo Yoshiyu smiled and said, "I wonder why Toshima-sama thinks so?" ”

"Humph!" Toshimashima Shigemasa said loudly again, "Don't you think we're fools?" In the past few days, you have been mobilizing Ashigaru in the territory, and the grain and grass materials in Tsugawa Castle have also been continuously transported to the area of Mt. Ueno, do you think my family will not know? ”

"I thought that your Lord Tsukawa was a first-class samurai in Dewa Country, but I didn't expect that he was also a person who deceived the world and stole his name! He has ignored the covenant between his family and you, and has done something to attack his allies. Toshima Shigemasa said angrily.

"That's enough." Kubota Ieji, who was originally silent in the hall, spoke up at this time, "You don't have to argue. ”

"Togo-sama." At this time, Kubota Ieji said to Togo Yoshisuke, "We all know what your intentions are, and there is nothing to hide." Although the Tsugawa family is strong, the family is not muddy! If there is going to be a war, then please go back and tell Tsugawa-sama that I, Kubota Ieji, are waiting for the Tsugawa family's army here! ”

Togo Yoshiyu's face was also a little ugly at this time, originally Togo Yoshiyu wanted to solve the matter peacefully, but he didn't expect to be so engaged by Toshima Shigemasa, and directly put the Tsugawa family in an unrighteous position.

But now that the words have been clarified, Togo Yoshiyu is no longer subtle, so he said to Anton Tongji and others, "Since the words have been clarified, then there will be no more roundabouts." ”

"The lord of this family can't bear to let the name of the Anton family be destroyed, so I would like to convey a word to all of you." Togo Yoshisuke continued, "If you are willing to surrender to your family, your family is willing to accept you with 10,000 stone Chiyuki from Yuri-gun. ”

Togo Yoshiyu's words are still very sincere, after all, although the Minato Toto family still has about 20,000 stones, but what really belongs to Anton Tsuki and Kubota Ieji and others is only a few thousand stones. For 10,000 stones, it is more than enough.

However, Anton Tongji and the others didn't think much about it.

What is Yuri-gun? Can it compare to a wealthy area like Minato Castle? I have 5,000 yuan a year from the port alone, and your Tsugawa family wants to make us surrender with just 10,000 stones, which is too naïve!

Anton Tongji said without hesitation: "Lord Dongxiang, you don't need to say much, this family will never give in." Thinking about the former relationship between the Tsugawa family and the family, the family will not embarrass the adults. Adults will go wherever they come from. ”

Hearing Anton Tongji's words, Togo Yoshiyu was not discouraged. Originally, Togo Yoshiyu and Tsugawa Soji didn't have any expectations for this condition, after all, as long as Ando Tongji and the others were not stupid, they didn't say 10,000 stones, even if they were 50,000 stones, they might not agree.

Of course, Tsugawa Soji will not really use 50,000 stones to recruit Anton Tongji and others, and the Tsunagawa family is not worth the price.

Togo Yoshiyu stood up with a smile and said to Anton Tongji and the others, "Since this is the case, then I will take my leave, everyone take care, and we will be enemies when we meet again in the future." On the battlefield, the family will never be soft! ”

"Humph! This is also what I want to say, let's see you on the battlefield! Toshima Shigemasa said indignantly.

Anton Toki also stood up and said to Togo Yoshiyu, "In this way, the covenant between the Tsugawa family and the family will be abandoned, and Lord Togo will go slowly, and the family will not send it!" ”

"Farewell!" After Togo Yoshisuke finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left the castle tower. Looking at the red eyes of Toshima Shigemasa and Shirane Masayoshi, Togo Yoshisuke was also worried about what to do if the other party didn't let him go, so it was better to leave early.

After Togo Yoshisuke left, Anton Toki sat down on the ground dejectedly, and said to Kubota Ieji and others beside him with a sad face, "This is trouble!" Kubota-sama, I bother you to go to Hiyama Castle again, and ask Anton Shunji to send troops to support Minatoyama Castle. Right now, only the Hiyama Andong family can stop the Tsugawa family! ”

"Good!" Kubota Ieji nodded heavily, and then said, "Don't worry, you can leave this matter to you." Next, the family has to quickly mobilize the troops, the Tsugawa family doesn't know when the troops will be dispatched, and the Hiyama Castle side can't arrive in a moment even if they send troops to support, and before that, the family must be ready to meet the battle at any time! ”

"The ancestors of this family, please bless this family to survive this catastrophe!" Anton Tongji looked up at the top of his head at this time and said in disappointment. Toshima Shigemasa and others on the side couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.

This is the Warring States period! That's the reality! The weak eat the strong, and you can't help yourself.
