Are we brothers?

- This is a letter from Higashimino and is signed by Toki Yoriji.

Yoshilong stared at the paper in a daze, and in his impression, there was no such person as Toki Raiji.

The content of this letter is also very simple, only a few words: "Are we brothers?"

Toki ...... Lai Ci ...... Could it be the son of Toki Yoriyi?

But...... Toki Yorimoto is in Mino......

"My lord! Takenaka-sama asks to see you. ”

He lifted the curtain and knelt in front of the dragon.

But Yilong didn't react at all, still staring at the letter and looking at it.

He knelt for a long time, raised his head and was about to report again, but was stopped by Inaba Ryotsu's sharp eyes.

After reading it for a long time, Yoshiryu slowly threw the letter to Inaba Ryotsu.

"Yitie, look at this handwriting."

One iron is the nickname of Inaba Yoshitsu, he has a stubborn personality, and he has a lot of weight in the Mino wealthy family, once a decision is made, even the Saito family's family governor Yoshiryu is difficult to make him change his mind, so Mino calls him "one iron" from top to bottom.

Inaba Ryotsu respectfully stretched out his hands to take it, and at first glance, he was shocked.

"It's ...... The handwriting of the first generation Mino guards Toki Yorigi-sama! ”

Inaba Ryotsu is the local tyrant of Nishiminon, even if the Mino guardian changes again and again, his position is still very stable, so Saito Yoshiryu will remember to ask him for his opinion.

I didn't expect Inaba Ryotsu to really see the doorway.

"But Toki Yori-sama had already seppuku thirteen years ago, and I was his mischief."

Yilong said thoughtfully, he couldn't help but think of that evening thirteen years ago...... I remembered Yorii Toki, who was brave once in the last moments of his life, and Yosaemon who fled to Owari.

Wait a minute!

With Sa...... The name suddenly felt familiar.

His brother-in-law Zuo Chengzheng's nickname is also Yosa, could it be said that Sasa Chengzheng is the one who escaped back then?

Yilong immediately denied this conjecture, because he had also seen the words written by Sasa Chengzheng, which was too ugly, and it was the kind of ugliness that was completely hopeless.

"Yitie, what is the person who sent the letter like?"

Yoshiryu asked again, turning a blind eye to the envoy kneeling in front of him, just as he was blind to the Bodhi Mountain Castle of the Takenaka family not far away.

"Very tall...... It's a Nanban woman. ”

A tall Nanban woman?

Yilong was even more puzzled.

"Forget it...... If there really is such a person as Toki Yoriji, he will come to me again. ”

Yilong rubbed his temples, and when he looked at the envoy again, he regained his former majesty.

"Bring Shigegen Takenaka with you."

"Hay!"

Sitting on the maza, Saito Yoshiryu reframed Mino in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

To his relief, two years have passed since the Battle of Nagara River, and he has finally completed the integration of the entire territory of Mino.

Last year, he used the method of lightning siege to destroy the wise family of the big local tyrant in Minong.

After that, Saito Yoshiryu forcibly intervened in the civil strife in neighboring Hida and helped Minami Hida's Miki family gain a foothold.

At the same time, Sasa Narumasa led an army from Hida to Minami Shinano, attacked the Kiso Valley, and using the Kiso Valley as bait, the Saito family formed a marriage alliance with the Kai Takeda clan.

Last winter, at the instigation of Saito Yoshiryu, a retainer of the wealthy clan Higashi Tokokei of the gunjo clan - who was also a disobedient cub - succeeded in seizing the rule of the Gujo area and gaining the approval of Mino's guardian Yoshiryu Saito.

For this reason, Endo Keitaka also specially built the Gujo Hachiman Castle and swore to be a good dog under Yoshiryu.

It is only one step away from the integration of the whole territory of Mino.

- Takenaka family.

The Takenaka family is a pro-Taoist force and a pro-wise force, and they have a lot of territory in Nishiminon, and at the same time, they have also concluded an in-law relationship with Mamoru Ando, the "wise general" among the three people of Nishiminon.

Shigetora, the young lord of the Takenaka family, got engaged to Mamoru Ando's daughter last year.

Shigemoto Takenaka, the governor of the Takenaka family, was quite bold, and at the beginning of spring this year, he even raised an army to attack Iwate Castle in the unbreakable county, saying that he wanted to take down Iwate Castle and give it to his son and future daughter-in-law as engagement gifts.

I have to say that Shigegen Takenaka is very courageous, but he is not slight.

has the courage but no strategy, and only made a move when Saito Yoshiryu was about to complete the integration of Mino, and the time has passed.

If Shigegen Takenaka had been smart enough, he would have raised his troops during the Battle of Nagara River two years earlier.

After breaking through Iwate Castle, Shigegen made a big move and went to attack the unbroken castle of Akai County next door!

The city was originally called the city of Bupo, and it was called the city because the city was built here by the city of the Bupo clan.

If the city is not broken, there is a light rule that is not broken, and the battle is more fierce than Takenaka Chongyuan, and the army is obviously only four or five hundred people, but it makes Takenaka Chongyuan soldiers under the city, and they cannot advance an inch.

It's been a month since Shigegen Takenaka started his army, and Mino's giant python Saito Yoshiryu has finally been dispatched.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that Shigegen Takenaka is not an agile rabbit.

There are three caves of cunning rabbits, and Takenaka Shigegen only has one nest in Bodhi Mountain City.

Saito Yoshiryu mobilized a total of 20,000 troops, assembled at Inabayama Castle, and then drove mightily towards Bodhi Yama Castle.

They walked very slowly, 20 miles a day, and with great fanfare, they were not afraid of being discovered by Shigegen Takenaka.

Three days later, Saito Yoshiryu led a large army to be stationed outside Bodhi Mountain Castle, and Shigegen Takenaka, who received the news, also ran back to his lair faster than a rabbit, looking at the black and oppressive army outside the city with a sad face.

- Dealing with the powerful wise man and wise Mitsuhide, Yilong took a surprise attack, and reinforcements could come slowly.

But if it's against the Takenaka family, which is only 10,000 stones in Ximinon, why play any strategy?

Stratagem only works when the power is insufficient, and if you have absolute power, why use those tricks?

At this time, Saito Yoshiryu had the absolute power to suppress the Takenaka family, and he only led 20,000 troops to swing under the city, and he had already solved the crisis of not breaking the house and the county, forcing Takenaka Shigegen to cage the city.

Shigemoto Takenaka can also be regarded as an understanding person, knowing that he can't make any waves, and finally decided to go out of the city and surrender.

Just in case, he put his sister-in-law Takenaka Chonghu in the city, and he didn't take anyone with him, so he went lightly.

Yilong, who was sitting in this formation, counted the time and suddenly understood something.

"That's not right! Shigegen Takenaka saw that it was impossible to come out and surrender so soon, and the whole army was on alert! ”

The whole camp suddenly became busy, if it was impossible for Shigegen Takenaka to surrender at this time, then his goal was only to assassinate!

What Yilong didn't expect was that Takenaka Shigegen was not alone, there was a tall young man walking side by side with Takenaka Shigemoto, and the white horse under his crotch was from the northern country, extremely godlike.

When he saw Shigegen Takenaka and Yoriji Toki coming side by side in front of him, Saito Yoshiryu's heart jumped.

- He's not Sasa Seimasa, who is he?
