The size of Changzong's relatives is only about one and a half meters, although he is a little fat, but it is not excessive. In terms of the structure of his head alone, his face is somewhat similar to the Dharma in the painting, except that his hair and beard are not curly. Clothes and swords are inconspicuous things, and in terms of appearance, he is at best a mid-level samurai. But I'm not worried about him being a fake, as I've proven time and time again. In addition, he is also very skilled in fiddling with fishing rods, and he seems to be a person who has been tempered by wind and frost.

"I greet you in such a way, Your Highness won't complain that I'm too simple!" I withdrew my gaze and continued to stare at the float on the water.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou, what are these words, is it because he is reckless?" Changzong's Yuan Qin smiled honestly and said: "I am a rough person in the next place, and I have always been used to negligence in etiquette!" The reason why I didn't notify you before I left was because I was afraid that it would disturb your normal arrangements, and because I really didn't want to deal with the people who were now around His Highness! ”

"It's basically the same as I thought, His Royal Highness Changzong is really a straightforward man!" My float floated for a while, thinking that I was going to catch a fish, but I slowly regained my calm. "I also don't want to annoy His Highness with hypocrisy, so after learning the news, I came to greet him in plain clothes. It's just the two of us, so why don't you and I try fishing? ”

"Your Highness Yuzhou, you're bullying me!" He glanced sideways at my fishing basket, and then said with some complaints: "His Royal Highness Yuzhou has a preconceived idea, and it can be said that he has the advantage of catching three. What can I do as a latecomer! ”

"There are no absolutes in the world, and latecomers may not be able to catch up!" I lifted my rod and changed the bait, then threw it back. "I heard that His Highness's army has invaded Nanyu, and it is making good progress. Don't know what's next? ”

"Didn't you encounter a difficult situation right now, and came to ask His Highness the state!" The head of the sect frowned when he said this, but I didn't feel how worried he was. "At the request of Kono Tokunao, the Mori family has sent a large army into Iyo. Although it was Akakawa Motoyasu who commanded the army, according to reliable information, Kobayakawa Takakei had also arrived at Yuzuki Castle. Seeing that the four countries are in a situation again, so this is to ask His Royal Highness Yuzhou for help! ”

"This time, His Royal Highness does not want to start a full-scale confrontation with the Maori family, so there will be no decree from the imperial court or a military order from the right one!" My eyes were attracted to the side again, and as soon as Changzong and my relatives got started, they caught a big herring weighing three catties. "So neither San'in nor will have any more reinforcements coming, and even I can't get too close to the war zone!"

"Could it be that His Highness the Inner Mansion wants to give up the four kingdoms?" He put the fish in the basket and threw the hook into the water. "Shikoku is small and barren, but it is located in the middle of Sanyo,, and Kyushu, so it can be said that it is a place where the whole body can be moved. Besides, there are still many forces loyal to the imperial court here, and His Royal Highness the Inner Palace's actions are inevitably chilling! ”

"If I don't move myself, the troops may not be able to move, and the troops of the Maori family also came to Iyo as a vassal and wealthy clan themselves!" I smiled slightly and pulled the spot closer. "I will have my subordinate Takenaka Hanbei and Gamo-sama enter Iyo to participate in the war in their own names, and in addition to the troops under my direct jurisdiction, some of the wealthy clans of Awa and Sanki will also join these two sequences separately. The half-guard is my military advisor, and he can represent me in case of trouble; The lord of the Gamo clan is the eldest son-in-law of His Royal Highness the Inner Palace, so naturally it is needless to say. Our troops are far stronger than the other side in terms of overall strength, and His Royal Highness Changzong and my department should have nothing to say this time! ”

"I've thanked you here, Your Highness Yuzhou is really thoughtful!" The head of the Changzong and my department sighed, as if he was both emotional and regretful. "Although I haven't had contact with each other before, His Highness has been the first to anticipate the enemy since entering Shikoku this time. Until today, let the world-famous Lord Zhuxing Qingyan stop me, it can be seen that everything is under the control of His Highness! As if he was ruthless, he dragged a big black catfish out of the water, this time weighing five pounds.

"Hey! How can a man count the heavens......" I sighed deeply for his good fortune. "I thought that the soldiers were in control of the situation, and sending an envoy to negotiate peace would definitely not be refused. But who would have thought that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu actually wanted to coerce my envoy, and I was caught off guard all of a sudden. Fortunately, the cadres under his command were unwilling to do such a thing that violated faith and righteousness, so it did not finally evolve into an uncontrollable situation! ”

He didn't respond to my words and continued to concentrate on his own business.

"Your Highness thinks there is an absolute chance of victory?" I half-stood up and looked forward, and there were no bubbles near the fishing spot this time.

"There should be no problem, after all, the combat power of the Star Army is famous all over the world!" This time, the head of the Changzong not only answered, but also thought about it for a while and looked very solemn. "At present, the Nanyu part is already scattered with the collapse of the Xiyuan Temple family, and the attack should be very fast. Now the biggest resistance comes from the Kono family in Beiyu, and it is very difficult to have the support of Maori behind it! ”

"If Your Highness thinks it's difficult, I can ask Takechuka to contain the Kono and Maori coalition forces, but does Your Highness think this strategy is really good?" I pulled the hook up and changed the bait again. "Although the power of the Xiyuan Temple family no longer exists, the fifteen wealthy families of Nanyu are still not a bone to gnaw on. I heard that in the past two years, His Royal Highness has repeatedly attacked but the results are limited, and he also folded the general Jiuwu cronies and others. If I, the Takenaka and Gamo Divisions, had been fighting for a long time with the Kono and Mori coalition forces in Kitayo, and His Highness's Tosa Army had been unable to come up from the south, wouldn't we have become a difficult situation? ”

"From the point of view of His Royal Highness Yuzhou, what is the safest way?" Although the relatives of Changzong and my department seem to be very modest, they can actually clearly make people feel a kind of self-confidence.

"There is no such thing as 'the safest', but I did discuss an idea with my men!" I looked at the three little ones in my basket and at him, and I was full of envy. "Although the Kono and Maori coalition forces have begun to assemble, they have not actually made any immediate statements. We might as well pretend to be confused, concentrate on taking Nanyu first, and then try our best to persuade Utsunomiya Clan of Utsunomiya ...... "I gushed about a strategic concept of horizontal push from south to north.

As soon as I mentioned that Takenaka and Gamo had entered Nanyu, the tip of the left eyebrow of the head of the Nagan sect jumped imperceptibly, and although he didn't say anything else, it was even more strange in this way. Isn't it strange that there is neither joy nor relief, nor anger or fear?

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is really thoughtful, but there are some things that you may not be clear!" He held the base of the rod in his right hand and took out a stack of envelopes from his bosom with his left hand and handed them to me. "Here are some of the things I got my hands on recently, and I'm sure you'll have some new ideas after reading them! In fact, the situation is more favorable to our side, and the strategy can be formulated more proactively. ”

I put the fishing rod aside and picked up the letters, which were all letters of allegiance from the Iyo clan to the head of the Chomune clan. "Mali, Xinju, Maekawa...... Oh! There are also ...... of Sone Sagami and Nishikawa Omi" I whispered while flipping, looking very carefully.

"The last one is from the wife of the Higashi-Iyo-Kono family to take Tomoharu, so His Royal Highness should understand what I mean!" Changzong My Yuan shook his own hand, and the head of a huge grass carp poked out. Immediately, an attendant ran to get it ashore with a net, and it was more than ten pounds. "Nanyu's battle won't last long, even His Highness's troops have been received from East Iyo. This is the result of more than ten years of hard work, and it cannot be achieved overnight! ”

"His Royal Highness Changzong is really imposing, I feel like I'm too conservative now!" I returned the letters to him, and he took them into his arms. "I'm really confident about the Iyo issue now, and it's time to directly attack the Kono and Maori coalition forces!" I also took a couple of envelopes from my bosom and handed them to him. "I also have some things here, please give me some advice!"

He took it and just glanced at it, his face changed color, and the rod in his other hand fell to the ground. He flipped the envelopes from top to bottom one by one, but the new ones that had appeared below made his face even more ugly, and by the end his hands trembled slightly.

I turned my head back after just one look, but there was still no movement in the water. "Ishikawa Katsushige and Kaneko Mototaku of Higashi Iyo, plus the surrender of Naoyuki Sugata, the lord of Otsu Castle as the acting official of Utsunomiya, Naoyuki Naoyuki will actually no longer have any more wars. And the two big stones of Toi Kiyora and Kitanogawa Jin'an on the Nanyu side have now fallen to our side, so the castles of Okamoto, Doi, Mitaki, Sarutaki, Komori, Munegawa, and Huangman have actually opened their gates. Coupled with the efforts of His Royal Highness Changzong and my department, the alliance of the fifteenth general of Nanyu existed in name only. Since His Royal Highness can freely enter and exit the Nanyu Prefectures, then I will let Takenaka and Gamo wait for them under Otsu Castle! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou, let's catch the fish here!" The head of the Changzong clan put the fishing line away, and his face returned to a calm and indifferent expression. "I thought that His Highness might have military arrangements, so I had planned to travel lightly and return quickly. This time, I brought my younger brother Qintai and my eldest son, Xinqin, and after meeting Your Highness, we are ready to go back overnight! ”

"It can be seen that His Royal Highness Changzong is a cheerful person who doesn't care about false courtesy, so I won't introduce you to that 'Shinto'!" I also stood up and beckoned the attendants to come and pack up. "Now that we have fresh fish, we can just take a pee!" I bent down to look inside his fishing basket. "His Royal Highness's means are really extraordinary, although they are also three more than mine!" I stood up straight and smiled at him, "Well, the latecomers may not be able to catch up!" ”
