Chapter 24: Secret Discussions

“…… Shangluo? The genealogists swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and they looked at each other to see the incredulity in each other's eyes, and Okochi Nobutada frowned and retorted, "Why does the hall owner think so?" The family has not been in the past for more than 30 years, and in recent years, the authority of the shogunate has fallen, and I have waited for the public to return to the various leaders to manage the family leaders, and the matter of the Shangluo Fenggong has long been in the past! ”

"It is precisely because of the decline of the authority of the shogunate that the family must go to Luo, otherwise how can they be worthy of the grace of His Royal Highness the Shogunate?" Kira Manmatsomaru replied with a high-sounding remark, the Kira family's law has always kept the entry of the Daiyo Governor Kamira Hoongong, and since the Guansi Disturbance, the Kira family has retained this tradition for generations of Governors, including Kira Manmatimaru's father, Kira Yoshiyao.

"It's just that the family is in the autumn of life and death, and the hall owner is going to Luo at this time, isn't it a bit ...... A bit out of place? Takahashi Masanobu thought about it and still felt the need to remind him that the reputation of the Kira family was closely related to them, and Kira Manmatsu Maru was in Luo Fenggong at this time, who would believe that this was a nine-year-old kid who came up with it? Others will only think that this is the group of genealogy in the Kira family who are doing ghosts.

"Who of you has the confidence to resist Suruga's Imagawa Osabu?"

"This ......" The genealists don't dare to speak casually, they know what the situation is in Mikawa Country now, not to mention whether the Imagawa family will go out of the Eight Faces Mountain, as long as the news of today's assessment meeting is released, the genealogies present here don't want to live a stable life anymore.

"So! I can't beat it, and I can't let go of face when I take refuge in the Imagawa family, but I always have to have someone to take the lead in Jira, right? That's either the main family or the Shimojira family, who do you think is more suitable? ”

"Naturally, it is more suitable to go down to Kiraden!" This time, all the generations said in unison that the Shimojira family, as long as it wasn't themselves, of course they wouldn't make the wrong choice for such a simple reason, but there were still some people who were not at ease, "But the Shimojira Hall will definitely not agree, right?" ”

"Can't you persuade if you don't agree?" Kira Manmatsumu pursed his lips and directly threw out the killer weapon that he had been preparing for a long time: "What if the family comes forward to persuade my brother to change his position?" Life and death don't exist anymore, right? ”

"This must be a lot of difficulty, right?" The genealogy of the generations whispered for a moment and still felt that it was not so easy, the difficulty of persuading the next Kira to come back was not ordinary, including Kira Yoshinan's adoptive father Kira Zhiku, a large number of Shimojira's retainers died in the battle of Bamian Mountain, and the losses were several times more than that of Kamikira, not to mention that Kira Yoshian is an adopted son, his status is not as stable as that of his parents, and everything must first consider the will of the genealogy.

Nobutada Okochi saw this issue very clearly, and this genealogy put forward different opinions: "If the hall master comes forward to persuade him, ShimoKira Hall will definitely consider it seriously!" After all, as a collar family, the opinion is very important, and the situation of Dongsanhe is also more sinister than the main family! ”

Takahashi Masanobu suddenly realized: "So there is indeed a chance, the hall owner announced that Shangluo, and then persuade the lower Kira Hall will definitely have a better effect, after all, the lower Kira family must also know that when the family governor is not there, the genealogy can make a choice!" Without the support of the main family, the will of the Shimojira family to fight against Imagawa will be greatly weakened! ”

"I see!" The genealogists suddenly realized that the issue of defecting to the Imagawa family had quietly emerged as early as last year's Kodozaka War, just because Kira Manmatsumaru's half-brother, the former family governor Kira Yoshigo was begged to death by the Imagawa family's army, so it was inconvenient for the genealogy to openly discuss switching to the camp, since Kira Manmatsumaru was determined to give the initiative to the genealogy, what did they have to complain about?

Besides, the Imagawa family wants to solve the hidden dangers of the Mikawa country in one go, and Taiyuan Xuesai's letter is not only to invite the Kira family to fight in Anxiang City, but also to force the Kira family to make a choice, if the Kira family is not on the road again, Taiyuan Xuesai does not mind taking the army to level the Kira family first, as a dessert before the decisive battle with the Oda family.

The genealogies of the upper and lower Yoshira all understand that if they don't surrender, they will definitely be finished, but there is no justifiable reason for surrendering, it seems that they are united against a strong enemy, but in fact, they are still struggling with how to keep the big tree of the Kira family from falling, it is best to preserve the reputation, and the status of the genealogy is not shaken, as for the side that switched to it, they didn't care much at all, Kamikishira took refuge in the Spo family, the Oda family, and the lower Yoshira also took refuge in the Imagawa family, what's so embarrassing.

"But how is the Pavilion Master going to convince Kiraden?"

Finally, there was still a spectrum generation who asked this question, Kira Manmatsu Pill took a deep breath and said slowly: "You all know that this is a critical moment for the life and death of the family, and Shimojira Hall will definitely understand this truth!" The Imagawa family can't be stopped, but it's really unwilling to rush to switch, so the family Shangluo gave up the right to make a decision to you, so as to not only save the face of the Kira family, but also let the lower Kira Hall explain to the retainers. ”

In Kira Manmatimaru's view, this is a group of guys who want to save face and suffer alive, they want to save face, but they don't have the ability to save face, so they can only hold on to the last fantasy and be completely defeated by the iron cavalry of the Imagawa family, losing their geographical advantages, people, how to fight this joint battle? Just the leading party can pit the Kira family to death, who will suffer in the end after pit that little foundation? It's not the brothers Kira Manmatsu Maru and Kira Yoshiyasu.

One of the brothers is under house arrest, and one is a local puppet to be the governor of the two Yoshira families, and maybe they will send a few retainers of the Imagawa family to be genealogy, and that little family business will be lost in a short time, and it is impossible to expect the Imagawa family to trust themselves as much as they trust Matsudaira Takechiyo, and the body of the Kira family is destined to be feared to death by Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"I see, has the Pavilion Master figured this out?" Kansuke Yamamoto, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb at the end, moved slightly, then leaned over and asked, "So, is the hall master ready and conscious to fight for His Royal Highness?" ”

"What does Shangluo have to do with His Royal Highness?" There are generations who are still ignorant and look at the colleagues around them, and they say in their hearts What is this, what is this like, and the hell does this Yamamoto Kansuke really find something to do.

Okochi Nobutada said without giving up: "Why can't you just switch to the Imagawa family, so that the owner of the hall doesn't have to travel thousands of miles to Shangluo, right?" ”

"But Ma Shoudian asked well! So who do you think Imagawa Jibe is? He is the male lord of the Imagawa family, the first bow in the East China Sea! I'm in charge of the two divisions of Mikawa, if the family and my brother switch to the camp together, they will inevitably be divided and called by Imagawa Yoshimoto, who do you think will enter Suruga as a hostage? ”

"I think that the lower Kira Hall seems to have a better chance!" Ehara Masahide replied without thinking about it, "Because the ShimoKira family is closer to Suruga Province." ”

"That's your answer?" Kira Manmatsumu was half angry to death, and he couldn't wait to take the folding fan in his hand and throw it on this guy's head, "This family is the governor of the Kira clan, and the governor of the Shimoto Kira family is also from this family, what is the role of Imagawa Yoshimoto replacing his brother into Suruga into the quality?" Wouldn't this family lead the Kira family with a noble background? ”

"This ...... Your Majesty never thought about it! Ehara Masahide shrank back in shame.
