Ishikawa Shumasa couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the clan say that he was going to divide the eastern kingdom with his own family, and what Takayama had in his heart was really good with his guess at the evaluation meeting that day, and it seems that he also realized that if he wanted to take the eastern kingdom all, then it would definitely not work without the help of his own family, so there would be such a change in attitude.

Looking at the attitude of the Gaoshan clan now, I am afraid that the matter of the following Kai will be easy to talk about, once it agrees, then the family will be the time when the family will swim in the sea, and at that time, the attitude of the Gaoshan clan will not be so important.

Seeing that Ishikawa Shumasa was just being polite and didn't mention Kai, he couldn't help but feel some admiration for him, his concentration was really admirable, and he could still be so calm when the fire was burning to the butt, and the clan thought he couldn't do it.

Although he didn't mention it, the clan didn't want to spend it like this anymore, so he just sighed and said, "Hey, although I intend to win the eastern kingdom with Lord Tokugawa, Lord Tokugawa doesn't seem to have this idea." ”

"Why do you think so?"

Seeing that Ishikawa Shumasa really took the bait, he only heard the clan continue: "My lord, do you know why the family prepared for several days before attacking Shinano? I didn't wait for Ishikawa Shumasa to speak, but I only heard the clan say to himself: "Why do you need to prepare for the flag of this family, as long as I give an order, I can attack Shinano at any time, the reason why I am waiting, not for anything else, is just waiting for Lord Tokugawa to unite with my family, and then Takeda can be destroyed, wouldn't it be nice for you and me to share the two families?" Tokugawa-sama doesn't seem to be concerned about the union, so the family has no choice but to send troops alone, but fortunately, Takeda has declined and the soldiers have used their lives, and now they have not only won Shinano. And Kai is no longer escapable. ”

If Ishikawa Shumasa still had the leisure to chat with the clan just now. But after his words came out. But he didn't have the mind, but he knew that although the Takayama Clan said so, I am afraid that he had no plans to send troops to Kai in the near future, firstly, because Shinano was not fully controlled by him, and he still needed a large army to press the ground, and secondly, if he really had the intention of capturing Kai, he would never say it in front of himself, after all, he should know Kai. The family's attitude towards Kai.

Although I have a bottom in my heart, but after all, the family refused first, so I could only bite the bullet and say: "I'm afraid that Lord Hida Mamoru has a misunderstanding of the family, and the family is not unwilling to unite with the adults, when I learned that the Takayama Army was fighting in arms, the lord had already sent it down, but who would have thought that there would be a sudden rebellion in the family, and the lord was afraid that the agreed date would be delayed because of the rebellion, so this will be recalled in the next place, but who would have thought that when the family is stable." Hida Mamoru has already captured Shinano, and the lord has learned about it. He immediately sent him down, first, to explain the reason to the adults, and second, to ask about the matter of Kai. I wonder if Hida Mamoru is still willing to let the family capture Kai? ”

For the lie in his mouth, the clan did not break it, only listened to him say: "Hey, if the lord came earlier, of course I have nothing to say, after all, my plan was to divide the two countries equally with the Tokugawa family, but now it is a little different, the military situation of the family has begun to confront Takeda, and the war is about to break out, if the army is suddenly withdrawn at this time, then I will not only be unable to explain to the retainers, but also unable to face the ridicule of the world, after all, outsiders do not know the reason, and they think that my Takayama family is afraid of Takeda, so they dare not confront it." ”

Ishikawa Shumasa listened to his heart like a mirror, although the Takayama clan has the intention of reconciling with the family, but its character has not changed, it is still the interests first, these words are obvious that the Takayama clan is ready to start putting forward conditions, he has thought of it before he came, and the lord has been entrusted with his full responsibility for this matter, as long as the conditions are not too much, it doesn't hurt to promise him, now for the family, nothing is more important than Kai.

However, this speech is skillful, and if it is blindly obedient, then I am afraid that it will definitely open its mouth.

"Hida Mamoru's difficulties are very clear, but the Takayama family needs to be stable to obtain Shinano, and I am afraid that the Takeda clan is also more than capable for a while, if Takeda takes the opportunity to grow, then this should not be the result that adults want to see, rather than this, it is better to be attacked by the main family, the main family as an ally of the Oda family, the adults have difficulties, and the Tokugawa family will not sit idly by."

Although Ishikawa Shumasa is still respectful, his attitude has indeed changed, and although the clan did not expect it, at first he did take this opportunity to take this opportunity to make some benefits from the Tokugawa family, although now the clan no longer looks down on the Tokugawa family's assets, but as long as the purpose of weakening the other party can be achieved, it is enough.

But the other party obviously didn't accept the offer, and the clan sect immediately extinguished such thoughts, after all, what was planned this time was very big, and if it was self-defeating, it would not be beautiful.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "There is some truth in what my lord said, and I also hope that the misunderstanding between the Tokugawa family and the Tokugawa family can be completely resolved through this battle, although I agree that I will not intervene when the Tokugawa family attacks the Takeda clan, but in order to explain to the retainers, then once the Tokugawa family fails, then the Tokugawa family will not need to do it for the Kai family." I wonder what Ishikawa-sama thinks of my proposal? ”

"This is very good, if the Jiafei strategy of this family fails, then let the adults take it. But after all, he is only a retainer, and he has no right to settle this matter with the adult, so it is better to draw up an agreement and hand it over to the lord to decide, I don't know what the lord thinks? ”

Ishikawa Shumasa has one more eye this time, at this moment in the quiet room on himself and the clan and his son, if after he leaves, the Takayama clan repents, then it is really impossible to refute, so it is best to be able to establish a word as a basis, there is a word in hand, then if he wants to repent, he has to consider whether it is worth it, after all, he is already a big name, if he goes back on his word, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain the trust of others in the future.

As for the family's attack on Kai, Ishikawa Shumasa is not worried, Takeda Katsuyori did not ask for help from the Hojo family when the Takayama Army was preparing to attack Kai, so I'm afraid that the family should not be able to attack when it attacks, the family has prepared 12,000 elite troops this time, and there are 1,000 ninja troops to help in the war, plus the Takeda army is demoralized at the moment, it can be defeated in a battle, and it will not be given a chance to ask for help at all.

"That's very good." Saying that, the clan immediately ordered someone to draw up an agreement, because the content was very simple, so in less than a stick of incense, the agreement had been handed over to the clan sect, and the two sides had no problems after seeing it. The clan immediately drew a charge on the two copies. Give it to Ishikawa Shumasa. Ishikawa Shumasa regarded this agreement as a treasure, and carefully put it in his arms, because he was already at home at this moment, so after agreeing, he asked to leave on the same day, and after the clan pretended to stay, he didn't say anything more, and let the other party leave.

"Father. You have always been hostile to Tokugawa, why did you give up hundreds of thousands of Kai to Tokugawa this time? After sending Ishikawa Shumasa away, I only listened to Takayama Nobukatsu open his mouth to ask for advice.

"Ha Luha, do you really think so my son?" I only heard the clan ask with a smile.

"It's... Although the child knows that his father will definitely not, the strategy used is a little incomprehensible. ”

"Watch the dragon fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman. As Ishikawa Shumasa said, the family currently does not have the ability to attack Kai, but once the Takeda army is greatly consumed by the Tokugawa army, then the family can take this opportunity to capture Kai in one fell swoop, and at that time, Tokugawa's strength will not only be consumed. And there is nothing to say either. ”

However, the Tokugawa family calculated that Takeda would not ask Hojo for help, so they acted like this. At that time, wouldn't my father's plan be in vain, not only could he not take Kai, but also made Tokugawa stronger? ”

"Do you think that Takeda won't ask for help from Hojo?"

"Forgive the foolishness of the child."

"If my son thinks about it carefully, if the 3,000 army of my family is still in Uehara Castle and does not retreat, will Takeda ask for help?"

"Ah, what my father meant was that the army of the family was still holding Takeda at bay, and if the Tokugawa attacked, he would have to ask for help from Hojo even if he didn't want to. With Hojo joining, Tokugawa had no chance of capturing Kai, which only increased the losses. ”

"This is the strategy of the father, and it is clear from the agreement that the family will not send troops when the Tokugawa family attacks Kai, and it does not say that it cannot be stationed in Uehara Castle, and besides, Uehara Castle is the land of the family, so why not be stationed here?"

"The child understands, it seems that the child still doesn't have enough vision, so he can't see his father's strategy."

After that, Nobukatsu wanted to ask the main hall about his plan to abolish the emperor, but after thinking about it, it was better to see through the inquiry, otherwise he would never grow. But if you want to see through, it is not easy, and through these two things, you have fully proved that your vision is not enough, it seems that you need to broaden your horizons, otherwise how can you inherit your family business in the future.

On the second day, the sky was not completely bright, and Fukushima Masanori received an order from the lord, so he rode his horse neatly outside the city, and Takayama Nobukatsu had already appeared here, and he didn't walk for long, only to hear Nobukatsu say loudly: "All the ninjas of this family, please show up, I want to take the school and you wait." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he saw four ninjas coming towards Shinkatsu from four directions. "See the young master, I don't know what the young master commands."

"The world has always said that the ninjas of this family are strong, I really don't believe it, I wonder if the four adults can open Shinkatsu's eyes?"

"I don't know how the young master plans to take the school entrance examination?"

Takayama Nobukatsu pretended to think for a moment, and then couldn't help but say: "If you test your martial arts, I'm afraid you will definitely give in, so it won't make any sense, so it's better to see your ability to get out of trouble." ”

The four ninjas also intended to behave in front of the young master, so they didn't allow it. "It's all up to the young master's arrangement."

"I happen to have some ropes here, if I tie you up, I wonder how long you will be able to escape?" Xinsheng is also at a loss at the moment, so he plans to ask first, if the other party can crack it in a moment, then he can only change the way.

"Back to the young master, if that's the case, I'm afraid it will take a meal to untie the rope."

After listening to this, Xinsheng finally had a score in his heart, and the time for one meal was enough to run away by himself.

"Well, that offended you. If you can untie the ropes from your body in the time of a meal, then I will speak to my father. After saying that, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and commanded Fukushima Masanori to move. After tying the four shinobi to a tree and inspecting them in person, he took Fukushima Masanori on his horse and left quickly. Don't care about the sound of calls behind you.

After explaining to Fukushima Masanori, I only heard him speak: "It is a real honor for my subordinates to go out with the lord to practice, but I don't have to say goodbye, if the main hall is to blame, then what should I do?" ”

"You're stupid, if you let my father know, will I still leave, don't you talk nonsense, if you don't want to go with me, then go back, no need to say more."

"Subordinates should follow the lord."

"So what are you waiting for, let's go." (To be continued......)
