Yoshinaga Otomo really thinks what he said makes sense, or rather, this is the kind of result he is most looking forward to! Hearing that the governor agreed with this view, the retainer became more confident.

"My lord, so the minister thinks it's better to spend it and leave him alone! If he sends troops to continue the attack, then agree to Mingren's request! If the Ming people don't continue to attack, and when the Ming people withdraw, we can recover Tachibana Mountain Castle! ”

Otomo Yoshicho nodded and said, "If you want the west, what you said makes sense!" ”

"My lord, Matsushita-kun is a mistake for the country, and it will definitely cause great trouble for the Bungo country! People's appetite changes at any time, and the Ming people did not think of attacking Tachibana Mountain Castle at the beginning, but now the Ming people have not only defeated Tachibana Mountain Castle, but also defeated our samurai army! In such a situation, who would withdraw their troops with nothing? ”

Otomo Yoshicho was silent when he heard this, I have to say that this point of view is very reasonable, if it were him, he would not be resigned, and he would definitely seek enough benefits to agree to withdraw the troops!

Da Youyi sighed: "What you said also makes sense! ”

So the retainers were divided into two camps and quarreled, and the whole hall was full of noisy and shouting, and even Otomo Yoshinaga himself swayed.

On the one hand, Otomo Yoshicho was distressed and reluctant to give up Tachibana Mountain Castle, if Akito really had no intention of continuing to attack, then if he sent Tachibana Mountain Castle out for nothing, wouldn't he be stupid?

On the other hand, Otomo Yoshicho is still apprehensive about the terrifying combat power of the Ming army, and if he delays it and causes the Ming army to really start to continue attacking, then the entire foundation of the Otomo clan will be buried!

Yoshicho Otomo struggled in his heart and sighed, "What should I do?" ”

At this time, an old man came out of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the minister thinks it's better to test the minds of the Ming generals before making a decision!" ”

Otomo Yoshicho listened and asked, "How do you test the mind of the Akito general?" ”

The old man said in a deep voice: "My lord, the most touching thing is nothing more than treasures and beauties. The lord might as well send someone to send beauties and treasures to make peace first, if the Ming generals stop their thoughts of occupying Tachibana Mountain City, they will naturally be lucky! ”

"If the Ming people still insist on occupying Tachibana Mountain Castle, it means that the Ming people have made up their minds, and we should no longer have the heart of luck!"

Otomo Yoshicho listened to it and said: "If you want the west, listen to your words, and the mouth will be opened!" To do this, you also need a person who can speak well, and go with beauty and treasures! ”

The old man bowed down and said: "The minister is willing to take the risk to go, and I hope that the lord will choose beauties and treasures, and the minister will go all out to bring good news to the lord!" ”

Yoshicho Otomo pondered for a long time and asked, "What do you think of Hexiang?" ”

The old man was slightly shocked when he heard this, this was also the most suitable person in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it up, because Hexiang Ji was the sister of the governor, but he didn't expect the governor to think of His Royal Highness Hexiang himself. But when I thought that Hexiang Ji was the half-sister of the family governor after all, I was relieved.

"His Royal Highness Hexiang is beautiful and moving, and he is very suitable for the country and the city! It's just that His Royal Highness Hexiang has a noble status。。。。。。 ”

Before the old man finished speaking, Yoshicho Otomo had already waved his hand and said: "At this time when the survival of the family is in danger, Hexiang, as a member of the Otomo clan, should make sacrifices, this is her responsibility!" ”

"Besides, the weapons of the Ming people are very sharp, if you can get this kind of sharp weapon from the hands of the Ming people, let alone fight against the Ming people, why is it difficult to dominate the world? Hexiang is a country and a city, if it can please the Ming people, the family can not only turn evil into good fortune, but also soar to the sky! ”

As long as the governor is willing, these retainers are just a woman! Moreover, the prospect described by the governor was so exciting that the retainers praised it.

In the garden and in the room, a beautiful girl is arranging flowers, and the door of the room was suddenly opened, the girl glanced back, and immediately lowered her eyebrows and said, "Brother! Although he lowered his eyebrows, there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

This girl is Otomo Hexiang, the half-sister of Otomo Yoshinaga, Otomo Yoshicho smiled: "My sister's flower arrangement skills have improved again!" ”

Otomo Hexiang bowed and smiled: "Brother has won the award!" ”

Otomo Yoshicho knelt down and sighed at the delicate flower arrangement in front of him, "Sister, our family is experiencing an unprecedented crisis!" ”

Otomo Heka is not ignorant of this, after all, the army of 3,000 samurai went out, but only half of the samurai fled back in a hurry, which is not hidden from anyone at all.

Otomo Yoshicho looked at Otomo Hexiang and said: "The weapons of the Ming people are really sharp, although our samurai are brave, but they can't rush to the front of the Ming people's battle at all, and they have already fallen half like cutting wheat!" ”

"It's not that my brother is incompetent, it's not that our family's samurai are not brave, it's really that Mingren's weapons are too weird and sharp! Now that our family is in danger, if the Ming people continue to attack, our samurai will not be able to stop it! ”

Even Otomo Heka never cared about political affairs and the military, she couldn't help biting her lip nervously at this time, after all, she was a member of the Otomo family, how could she not be frightened.

At the same time, she also had doubts in her heart, this kind of thing should be discussed with the retainers, why did she come to talk to her? What role can she play as a weak woman?

Otomo Heka was a little nervous and said, "Brother, what should I do then?" ”

Otomo Yoshicho sighed deeply and said, "Brother is incompetent! Now I can only find a way to make the Ming people stop attacking! ”

Otomo Heka said with concern: "Did the elder brother and the retainers discuss a solution?" ”

Yoshicho Otomo said slowly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass! ”

After listening to her brother's words, Otomo finally understood why her brother came to her and why he said these words to her! It turned out that she was going to sacrifice her in exchange for the Otomo clan to tide over the difficulties.

Many people only see the brilliance of Her Royal Highness Otomo, who can comprehend the pathos. Otomo wanted to laugh but couldn't, although she had dreamed since she was a child that a hero would ride a war horse to marry her.

But since she was sensible, she knew that her fate could not be decided by herself, and she had no right to pursue happiness, because she was the noble highness of the Otomo clan, the Hekahime of the Otomo clan! No matter how beautiful a woman is, no matter how noble a woman is, she can only become a vassal of power.

Even if she already had this realization, she never thought that her fate would be even more tragic than she imagined, and she was going to be given to Mingren!

But what can be done? Do you want to watch the family collapse? Who can fight through the shackles of fate?
