The war between Vietnam and Kaga is in full swing, and although no fighting has broken out in the Kinai area, the situation is still turbulent and not very calm.

The crusade against the coalition army is growing day by day, and many of the wealthy clans in the Kinai region have offered their festivals to the Tsugawa family and submitted invitations, as if they were following the Tsugawa family to the end.

Within two months, there were dozens of wealthy families who submitted petitions to the Tsugawa Soji side one after another. And if these countries can really send troops to participate in the war, it will be tens of thousands of troops!

However, these people are usually looking for Rokkaku Dingyori, Takeda Nobutoyo and others, and today there are indeed two people who directly found Tsugawa Soji, which made Tsugawa Soji a little surprised.

Wakasa country, Goseyama Castle.

Under the recommendation of Takeda Nobutoyo, Soji Tsugawa met with the head of the Ikeda family, Ikeda Nagamasa, and the head of the Itami family, Itami Jinxing, from Settsu!

"Tsugawa Palace, I've been bullied by the Miyoshi clan for a long time! Today, the Tsugawa family is undoubtedly a great news for us, and today I came to Goseyama Castle with Itami Yamato Moriden, hoping that Tsugawa Hall can accept us! "In the Tsukawa Yashiki in Goseyama Castle, Ikeda Nagamasa looked at Tsugawa Soji with a flattering face, and kept showing his loyalty.

Soji Tsugawa glanced at Ikeda Nagamasa playfully, and then said with a smile, "According to what Chikugo Mamoru said, the people of Settsu are all dissatisfied with the Miyoshi family?" ”

"Exactly!"

"If that's the case, then why has the family been here for several months, and they haven't seen the two of them until today?"

Soharu Tsugawa is not a fool, this special old man has been in Goseyama Castle for several months. If you people in Settsu were really dissatisfied with the rule of the Miyoshi family and had the intention of "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light", how could it be delayed until today?

Ikeda swallowed his saliva, and a cold sweat began to break out on his face. Just as Ikeda Nagamasa didn't know how to answer, a young samurai sitting behind Ikeda Nagamasa suddenly spoke, "Tsugawaden, it is precisely because I have been waiting for the people of Tsutsu to observe for several months, and I have become more and more convinced in my heart that the three good families will lose this battle, so I finally made up my mind to come to Koseyama Castle to ask to see Tsugawaden!" ”

"Besides, there are more than ten people in the Setjin country, and this matter is not something that can be decided by this family! Fortunately, after these days of deliberation, there has been a final result! ”

"Who are you?" Soji Tsugawa looked at this young samurai with an extraordinary bearing on his face.

The samurai hurriedly replied, "In Shimoikeda, the son of Mamoru Araki Shinano, Yasuke Araki, is the son of Mamoru Araki! ”

I wiped it, it turned out to be this goods!

Araki Murashige is not a small person in the history of the R War, and interested book friends should spend their own time, and the water will not move.

Arakimura's father, Araki Yoshimura, was a retainer of the Ikeda family, and Arakimura was born in Ikeda Castle and remained in Ikeda Castle as a hostage. Since then, he has been serving as Nagamasa Ikeda's surname, and this year he married Nagamasa Ikeda's daughter, and he is one step away from becoming "CEO".

But it was precisely at this juncture that the Tsugawa family Shangluo came! And the momentum is quite big, and the boss of the Araki family (Ikeda family) is in a panic, and he hurriedly integrates the forces in the territory.

The Ikeda family, as a powerful family in Settsu, was naturally the target of the Miyoshi family's efforts. The other Itami family is also one of the most powerful people in Settsu.

"It's not impossible for the people of Settsu to want to join our army, but shouldn't you let your family see some sincerity beforehand?" Soji Tsugawa carefully trimmed his nails with a wedge, and then said without raising his head.

Ikeda Nagamasa turned his head slightly to look at Arakimura, who immediately realized, "The wife of the next is the daughter of the head of the family, and the two of us would like to stay in Goseyama Castle as hostages!" ”

After Araki Murashige finished speaking, Itami on the side also echoed, "Although the youngest son has just turned three years old, he was also taken to Goseyama Castle with his mother, and he is waiting for the Tsugawa Hall to fall outside the castle!" ”

Ikeda Nagamasa and Itami did a good job, at least Tsugawa Soji really couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

"So, what about the hostages of the other nations in Settsu? When will it be delivered? Sanada Yutaka suddenly asked with a sideways look.

Although he didn't know the identity of Sanada Yutaka, the one who could ask questions at will on such an occasion must be an important minister of the Tsugawa family, so Ikeda Nagamasa didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied, "The families of the rest of the countries are currently temporarily placed in Ikeda Castle!" Of course, if the Tsugawa Hall is in need, you can also immediately arrange for someone to send it to Wakasa! ”

At this point, Ikeda's eyes were somewhat unusual.

After listening to Ikeda Nagamasa's words, Soji Tsugawa also smiled and quipped, "It's a good thing that Chikugo Shouden has such ambitions, and the family likes to deal with ambitious people!" It's just that after the construction of the temple, do you have this certainty? ”

Ikeda Nagamasa nodded, "If I wasn't sure before, I was sure, but for this goal, didn't I come to Goseyama Castle today?" ”

"Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! Soji Tsugawa stroked his palms and smiled, "Then the main family can take this opportunity from the Ikeda family!" But opportunity is chance, and everything will depend on you, the Ikeda family, and I can't guarantee how much help they will provide you! ”

"With the words of Tsugawa Palace, the family is relieved!" Ikeda Nagamasa replied with a smile, "This is the oath of the family, and from now on, my Ikeda family will be a vassal of the Tsugawa family!" ”

"Ikeda Nagamasa has seen the lord!"

"Araki Village has seen the lord again!"

Ikeda Nagamasa and Araki Murashige swore an oath to Soji Tsugawa in unison, but Itami Jinxing suddenly confessed, "I suddenly remembered that there are many things at home, so I'll talk to Tsugawaden in detail another day!" Leave! ”

With that, Itami Jinxing suddenly withdrew from Tsukawa Yashiki.

Seeing Itami's unusual behavior, Tsugawa Soji's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to have realized something. However, on the surface, he still looked calm and breezy, and continued to Ikeda Nagamasa and Araki Murashige, "With the help of the Ikeda family, our army's chances of victory are much greater!" However, the Miyoshi family should not be underestimated, although our army is numerous, but after all, this is the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family, and our army needs to be extremely careful! ”

"It's the arrival of Chikugo Mamoru that makes the family very happy! I wonder if Chikugo Mamoru can explain the specific situation of the Miyoshi family to the family in detail? As for the Ikeda family's defection, Tsugawa Soji naturally did not value the strength of the Ikeda family, but actually valued the fact that the Ikeda family was once a retainer of the Miyoshi family.

Although Tsugawa Soji has ordered the Tsugawa family and the Rokkaku family and other forces of the detectives and ninjas to go around to find out the information of the Miyoshi family. But if you can learn something from Ikeda's mouth, it will be a bonus.

Besides, Ikeda Nagamasa's status is not low, so maybe he can bring some unexpected surprises to the Tsugawa family?
