In other words, in his previous life, Oda Yoshinobu has always wondered why Tokugawa Ieyasu would kill Tokugawa Nobuyasu so simply, after all, no matter what the reason, Tokugawa Nobuyasu is the orthodox heir of the Tokugawa family, how could he be cut directly because of Oda Nobunaga's words? You must know that at that time, the Takeda family had already been beaten back to Koshin, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was already a very powerful daimyo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, compared with the Oda family, the strength of the Tokugawa family is obviously not qualified, but obviously, with his status at the time and the relationship with the Oda family for many years, it is still possible to justify this matter, delay time, and pull favors.

But what did Tokugawa Ieyasu do in the end? I wrote a discerning letter at random, and then after getting an affirmative reply from Oda Nobunaga, after two entanglements, I directly asked Tokugawa Nobuyasu to cut my stomach. Even if you kill an ordinary retainer, you don't have to be so happy, right? But Tokugawa Ieyasu is so happy! And if he had known that Tokugawa Nobuyasu was not his own species, then everything would be easy to say.

When Oda Yoshinobu led the people back to Mikawa, on the other side, Matsudaira Motoyasu's letter had already been delivered to Oda Nobunaga.

"Hehe, Matsudaira Motoyasu is a good idea." Oda Nobunaga sneered and casually threw the letter on the desk.

"What's his idea?" Nohime on the side asked curiously, and Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to bother to explain this, so he handed the letter directly to Nohime.

After taking a look, the corners of Nonghime's mouth also showed a hint of a smile, "It's really a good idea." Not only do they ask for a military alliance on the same level as their family, but they also ask their family to help them consolidate their rule over Mikawa......" Nohime kept watching, muttering casually.

Seeing the end, Nonghime suddenly sighed, and then asked funny, "Then Matsudaira Motoyasu actually asked to send Yu Da back?" What is the relationship between Yu Da and him? Or does that kid have a grudge against Yoshishin? ”

Well, Yu Da's identity is in the Oda family, and not many people know about it, after all, it was a very secret thing at the beginning. Even Ah Shi only knew that Yu Da was the daughter of a certain family in Sanhe. It's just that I've been married.

And those who know, such as Oda Nobunaga, naturally don't go around talking nonsense, after all, it has nothing to do with him at all. And Oda Yoshinobu they don't know how to say this, why are they making trouble for themselves if they have nothing to do?

But now Nohime asked. Oda Nobunaga naturally won't hide it, and besides, Nohime is not a person with a broken mouth. So, Oda Nobunaga told the truth very casually, "Yu Da is the mother of Matsudaira Motoyasu's kid, and Matsudaira Hirotada's main wife." ”

"What?!" Nohime's beautiful eyes widened. Apparently could not believe this fact. She had also seen Yu Da many times, and in her opinion, Yu Da was the kind of maid that many families dream of, and she couldn't see any martial arts daughter at all, and she was also the shadow of the former Matsudaira family governor Matsudaira.

"What then? People are coming to ask for someone now~ If you don't agree......" Nohime looked at Oda Nobunaga with a gloating expression, without the slightest worry in his words.

"Hehe, what's the matter with me? I've given this task to that kid Yoshishin, and if the alliance fails, let that kid take full responsibility. Oda Nobunaga smiled strangely, that tone. Why do you seem to expect Yoshinobu Oda to fail even more?

The two lewd guys kept muttering, and as for the letter, it was directly disposed of as garbage.

Mikawa, Okazaki Castle.

"It's all in the hands of Yoshinobu Oda......" Matsudaira Motoyasu said lightly, not seeming to be too surprised by this.

"Yes, that's how His Highness Oda replied." Hattori Hanzo said respectfully.

"Well, got it...... Go down and rest. Matsudaira Motoyasu waved his hand, and then Hattori Hanzo disappeared directly in place.

"My lord." As soon as Hattori Hanzo left, Tadaji Sakai on the side couldn't help but say, "If this matter really makes Oda Yoshinobu fully responsible." I'm afraid it's not good for my family. ”

Oda Yoshinobu's attitude made Sakai Tadaji very helpless before, and obviously, he knew that Oda Yoshinobu was the kind of person who was quite stubborn, and he also ate soft rather than hard.

"Let's see. And the family doesn't necessarily have to go to the Oda family. Matsudaira Motoyasu sighed helplessly and said.

In that letter, although he put forward a lot of conditions, it was just to prepare for future bargaining. After all, negotiation always has to be discussed. If the price is low at the beginning, then the price of the subsequent transaction will only be lower. Politics and business are not the same, but they all end the same. In a sense, it's not much worse.

"Alas......" Hearing this, Sakai Tadaji didn't want to say anything, after all, this was a major matter related to the fate of the Matsudaira family, and as a retainer, the only thing he could do was to make suggestions.

For the next few days, Matsudaira spent almost every day in a state of confusion and irritability. Because whether to betray the Imagawa family and join the Oda family, he really couldn't make up his mind. After all, once the choice is made, then the Matsudaira family will never have a chance to regret it. And then, something happened that made him even more depressed.

Well, in fact, it is natural that this incident happened, that is, many retainers of the Matsudaira family knew the intention of Oda Yoshinobu. Hawkers, no matter how you think about it, you can't hide it for long. After all, when Oda Yoshinobu said it at that time, there were many small surnames and samurai people present.

Although Matsudaira Motoyasu strictly forbade the contents of that meeting to be disseminated, how could paper keep the fire? So when many retainers learned about this, they immediately exploded. Almost every day, retainers asked to see Matsudaira Motoyasu, but Matsudaira Motoyasu refused on the grounds that he was unwell.

However, how long can this kind of procrastination last? When Sakai Tadashi led many retainers to block the door of Matsudaira Motoyasu, Matsudaira Motoyasu had no choice but to hold an assessment, although he really didn't want to face this matter so quickly.

It's a new day, but for Matsudaira Motoyasu, he really doesn't want the day to come soon. But there was no way, he could only come to the assessment room helplessly, and at this time, there were already all kinds of quarrels inside.

Seeing Matsudaira Motoyasu's arrival, the assessment room returned to calm, and seeing this, Matsudaira Motoyasu's face was a little better. Walked to the top and sat down, and before he could speak, a retainer had already walked out directly, but it was Sakai Tadashi.

"My lord! Subordinates have something to say! Tadashi Sakai said loudly.

"Please." Matsudaira Motoyasu said politely. Although he really didn't want this kid to speak, because Sakai Tadashi was not only the leading retainer of the pro-Imagawa faction, but also had been roaming between the Matsudaira family and the Imagawa family, and his attitude was quite ambiguous. Hm. If an ordinary retainer dared to do this, Matsudaira Motoyasu would have taken the opportunity to attack and make a lot of money by the way. Can Sakai Tadashi?

It's a pity that Matsudaira Motoyasu can only pretend not to see it, who made the Sakai clan the great clan of Mikawa? Although Tadaji Sakai is also a member of the Sakai clan. But his position in the Sakai clan is quite embarrassing.

"My lord! The Imagawa family has a great favor to the family! From the time of His Royal Highness, Yoshimoto has been helping the family resist the invasion of the Oda family. If it weren't for the two Odusaka battles, I'm afraid the family would have been wiped out by the Oda family. Sakai Tadashi looked directly at Matsudaira Motoyasu and said loudly, in his eyes and words, there was no awe of Matsudaira Motoyasu.

"And when the lord was taken hostage by the Oda family, it was the Imagawa family who rescued you. It is also by Master Taiyuan who personally accepts the lord as a disciple and carefully teaches all knowledge. And when Yoshimoto Gong was alive, he had already let you command the three rivers. He even married his righteous daughter, Mrs. Sena, to you. Have you forgotten all these favors?! After Sakai Tadashi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the many retainers around him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Mikawa have never been people who will take revenge! If Yoshimoto was like this to his family, how could he betray the Imagawa family and throw himself into the Oda family, the enemy who killed him? Sakai Tadashi said loudly, "What's more! Since the time of the Qing Kang Gong, the family has been mortal enemies with the Oda family! Oda Nobuhide is a traitor who bribed his family and killed the Duke of Kiyoyasu and His Royal Highness! Have you all forgotten this?! ”

Well, it has to be said. Sakai Tadasho's status in the Matsudaira family is still very high, and after a few words, he was immediately echoed by a group of people.

Matsudaira Motoyasu sat on it, his face very ugly. It's not just because Sakai Tadashi didn't give him face at all, and he revealed all kinds of old things. It is even more because under the coercion of Sakai Tadashi's gun, there are too few retainers who agree with the alliance with the Oda family. How so? In addition to Sakai Tadaji, there are only young people such as Okubo Tadashi. These people are all small surnames who served by Matsudaira Motoyasu during the Junfu Castle period, and naturally they also stood on Matsudaira Motoyasu's side after they came back.

But these people are soft-spoken after all. It doesn't get too much attention at all. And those who really hold real power, such as Tadashi Torii, pretend to be deaf and dumb as if they don't see it.

These people are all members of the Mikawa clan, and it can be said that without their support, Matsudaira Motoyasu would not be able to rule the Matsudaira family at all. And now they strictly adhere to a neutral attitude, which makes Matsudaira Motoyasu very dissatisfied, but helpless.

Helpless, Matsudaira Motoyasu could only take the initiative to ask for help, "Lord Zhongji, you are the elder of the family who has experienced three generations of family governors, I don't know what you think about this matter?" Matsudaira Motoyasu said respectfully.

"Lord, the old minister is already old, and he can't withstand so many ups and downs. Therefore, the old minister only hopes that the lord can make the most beneficial and safe choice for his family......" Torii Tadashi said lightly. Well...... To say it is to say nothing.

Subsequently, Okubo Tadashi, Ishikawa Yasumasa and others also made similar remarks, in short, all kinds of qualifications, showing merits, and then pushing the problem back to Matsudaira Motoyasu intact.

Matsudaira Motoyasu looked down, Sakai Tadashi and the others looked at him with a smug face, Torii Tadayoshi and the others were indifferently silent, and Sakai Tadaji and the others shrugged their heads and bowed. Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't know why, and suddenly felt a burst of despair, "Can I really lead the Matsudaira family back to its former glory?" Matsudaira Motoyasu has always been very confident in his confidence, and at this time there was finally a crack.

Seeing this situation, Sakai Tadashi was very proud in his heart. When he learned of Yoshinobu Oda's intentions, he knew that the opportunity had come. With the real acquiescence of the Imagawa clan, he has been working hard to win over many families in Mikawa, and at this time, it is the time to show their strength to those big clans in Mikawa.

Moreover, he did not send someone to inform Imagawa Shin of this matter, but planned to wait until the matter was over to report it. Because he felt that only in that way could he show his importance and control over Mikawa. Although even so, it will be difficult for him to replace Matsudaira Motoyasu as the new master of Mikawa, but it is enough to greatly increase the Sakai family's power in Mikawa.

After another moment, there was still silence in the assessment room, and seeing this, Sakai Tadashi knew that he should stand up and give Matsudaira Motoyasu the final blow. It's just that as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he heard a rush of footsteps, and then saw Xiao Pingtai rushing in with a panicked face.

"Your Highness! Oh no! Yoshinobu Oda has broken in with someone! ”

"What?!" Matsudaira Motoyasu, Sakai Tadashi, and Torii Tadayoshi and others all stood up in shock. Well, Oda Yoshinobu is here again, and it's nothing, because they all know how much it would benefit the Oda family if they could win over the Matsudaira family. But...... Breaking in? What the hell is going on?! Is this here for peace talks or for trouble? Isn't he afraid of being hacked to death as an enemy?

Sakai Tadashi was the first to react, he jumped out at once, and shouted at everyone, "Everyone! Oda Yoshinobu's move is to look down on his own family at all! It also shows the sincerity of the Oda family to negotiate peace with the main family at all! In that case, the family should take it down and hand it over to the Imagawa family to deal with! Only in this way can we not implicate our family! ”

's words suddenly made many Matsudaira family retainers want to move, including those who were originally neutral and even agreed to peace talks with the Oda family. Because Oda Yoshinobu's behavior of breaking in directly without waiting for the report is too insulting, and he doesn't take the Matsudaira family in his eyes at all.

"Calm down! Give me calm! Matsudaira Motoyasu kept shouting, but his dissuasion, under the constant instigation of Sakai Tadashi and others, seemed so small and pale.

"Get out! Get out! The ministers of the Matsudaira family shouted, and they prepared to rush out and take down Oda Yoshinobu. At this moment, a voice full of abuse came, "Yo, who are you going to kick out?" As soon as the words fell, Oda Yoshinobu appeared at the door with a strange smile.

Hearing this, Sakai Tadashi was preparing to issue a declaration, and then let everyone rush to take down Oda Yoshinobu. But he saw another person walking out next to them, and when he saw this person, his face instantly turned pale. And the evaluation room also became silent for a moment.
