At the same time, a similar scene also appeared in the Kai Tsugasaki Pavilion, a group of genealogy retainers gathered together to discuss how much the Miyoshi family sent 10,000 Guan Wen Yongle money, trying to win over the Takeda family to get another anti-Kira encirclement network, Takeda Shingen's attitude was clearer and thorough, the first issue was how to spend the money, how much to Hanoi, how much to receive in the county, how much to divide among the genealogies, and finally how much the Takeda family could share by themselves.

Takeda Shingen is an extremely realistic person, he doesn't have as many hateful thoughts as Miyoshi Chokei, and he doesn't think about revenge against Kira Yoshishi, who killed his brother and almost killed him, because he knows very well that this is almost impossible to achieve, if a few years ago he was still planning to deal with the Kira family, then now he has no such thoughts at all.

Nagasaka Masakuni is Nagasaka Mitsuken's sister-in-law, and as a newly promoted retainer of the genealogy, he has been very active in recent days, and he grinned when he saw everyone's excitement: "I don't know what these three good families think, do you really think that giving me some money can make me wait for that little hatred of their family?" I don't know the form of the Eastern Kingdom, and where do I feel the tremendous pressure that the behemoth of the Kira family has brought to me and other Eastern samurai? ”

"I think the Miyoshi family is a bunch of fools, thinking that if we have a grudge against the Miyoshi family, we must fight back, but I don't know who else in this eastern country can withstand the big attack of the Kira family!" Masanao Komai is the son of Masatake Komai, and he happens to be close friends with Masakuni Nagasaka, and the two sing and harmonize with each other is quite interesting.

The genealogy of the Takeda family has undergone a major change, and many new faces have risen to become new forces since the Battle of Kawanakajima, and Komiyayama Masantomo is one of them, and he also said, "According to the envoy of the Miyoshi family, he will also win over other samurai families in the Kanto region. In addition, there are also the daimyo of Dewa Province and Mutsu Province to deal with the Kira family together. I really don't know how many they will be able to win over by then! ”

Shimosone Nobuthiro pouted and said, "The others don't know." But the Hojo family will definitely not participate! How many people in the Kanto region are willing to drip into troubled waters? This is really suspicious! ”

Kohata Masamori is the son of Oda Toramamori, whose father who is nearly seventy years old died in the battle of the Takeda family in Kawanakajima, so he was promoted to the important minister of the spectrum, and the young man in his twenties did not open the door when he spoke, and he said in his heart: "Why do you care about him so much?" If you have the money to take it, why don't you take it! As for what the Miyoshi repair doctor will think about me and what to wait for, if the Miyoshi family is very skilled, they will not be able to win the battle of Luozhong, imagine that 60,000 people fought around Kyoto for three months, and more than 10,000 people could not be lost. The level of the samurai in this Ki is really terrible! ”

Takeda Shingen's uncle, one of the four commissioners of the Tsugasaki Pavilion, Sakurai Yasuki Nobutaka, hurriedly said, "Eh! Don't say that, the prince of the town is also a samurai from Kyoto. ”

Another Misaku Mamoru Mori Katsutada, one of the four commissioners, disagreed: "But that is the town government from Mikawa, the samurai of Mikawa are not as fragile as the samurai of Kyoto, and the first battle of the town government is not to defeat the Miyoshi family and win the first fierce general of the Miyoshi family, Shikawa Ichizu?" At that time, the town government was not considered a Kyoto samurai, right? ”

"That's too!" Sakurai Nobutaka couldn't help but stroke his hands and admire: "If you think about it, the town government at that time was only ten years old, right?" At such a young age, he showed extraordinary talent, what an amazing character! Now that he is only twenty years old, he is already a big name in five or six realms, and the total stone height should be no less than 4.5 million stones! ”

None of the many genealogical retainers in the Kushizaki Pavilion showed an uncomfortable look at this statement, which was completely different from the previous years when the KuroKira family even directly referred to Kira Yoshishi by name in words, and even mentioned Kirayoshi's name in their words. also deliberately used "town government duke" to show respect for him.

The samurai are an extremely realistic group, and when they encounter an enemy who is grabbing territory, they will desperately destroy this enemy. During this period, even if there is a lot of loss, it will never frown, and if it is finally defeated by this enemy, it will be the generation of a grudge, which is how many old feuds between daimyo samurai come about.

But when they gradually find that this enemy is so strong that they can't resist, and they can't even raise a trace of the will to resist, their mentality will inevitably have huge ups and downs and changes, maybe there will be individual samurai such as Oshu Soma who stubbornly insist on grudges, but more people will rationally weigh the pros and cons, perhaps considering the huge pressure of their own lives and survival, grudges have become less important things.

From ancient times to the present, how many martial artists have encountered the killing of their fathers and ancestors, and finally still strive to be loyal to the enemy who killed their father, when there are conditions, they can avenge their loved ones who have died, but if they even face a crisis for their own survival, avenging the dead is a waste of life, and it will bring huge trauma to their own family.

For example, there is only one case of the kind of brother who has been repeatedly praised by the people, and the reason for the circulation is nothing more than that the story twists and turns and has never been seen, and this reason is that the story of the source and the story of the Jing Gozen is repeatedly praised is the same thing, because the story of the hull and the tragic fate are more likely to resonate with people, so the praise of the loser has also become a kind of popularity, which shows that most samurai are eager to succeed, and only a few cases will be processed into legends by art.

So when the genealogical retainers of the Takeda family woke up from the dream of insulting and cursing Kira Yoshishi, they suddenly found that the world had changed overnight, and Kira Yoshitoki not only did not die well, but lived better and better day by day, Dewa half of the country was easily taken, and the Echichu country of Kaga was also captured in one fell swoop, and those who had been famous in the past and the samurai daimyo were broken like paper paste.

What's worse is that Minami Shinano, who was thought to be the last point, was also captured by Sanada Yukitaka's department during the same period, although in the end it was still with the efforts of Takeda Nobushihiro, Baba Nobuharu, and Akiyama Nobutomo successfully withstood Sanada Yukitaka's fierce attack, but whether the next time it will usher in a greater impact, whether it will attract the attention of Kasuga Yamashiro, and whether it will capture Suwa Prefecture and take Kai in one go, all of this is still unknown.

Fear stems from the fear of uncertainty, and when everything is unknown, it is always tempting to be scared, after all, the people of Kai are still a group of samurai class and not crazy people with brain cramps. They began to fear that their possessions would be taken away by the mighty Kira army. His family name will be abolished by Kira Yoshitoki. In the end, the land and property could not be saved, and the family name was abolished, but there was nothing left for the chickens and eggs.

They are afraid that the stubborn confrontation will bring ruin to themselves, the survival of the family name and the inheritance of the descendants is more important than the reputation or even the land, for the sake of the land to exterminate their own clan is not to put the cart before the horse, first to ensure that they can live in peace and stability, and then enjoy the power and benefits brought by the land to be valuable, otherwise what is the point of becoming a passer-by who has only a few records in the history books, or some heroic figures who circulate in a small range of people?

The people of Kai who woke up quickly changed their mentality under the surge of this trend of thought. Another part of the Shinano people who followed the Takeda family to retreat to Kai also fanned the flames and created influence, so that some small groups that were not very powerful were supported by many people at once, and the leader of this small group, Takeda Yoshinobu, suddenly found that he had received the support of many powerful retainers overnight, including some old and important ministers, including Anayama Nobujun and Koyamada Nobushige.

Therefore, when this kind of argument sounded in the evaluation room, the retainers in the hall were either silent or echoed, and no one expressed a clear objection or refutation, and even Takeda Shingen, who was on the main seat, only frowned slightly when he found this situation, and then resumed his attitude of Furui Wubo.

Yoshinobu Takeda looked particularly excited today. couldn't help but say: "The town government is a first-class heroic figure in the world, and tens of thousands of male lions under his command actually surrendered and swept across the North Continent within a year. Sanada Dan Main Hall also fought with his uncle in Okaya Kita Castle, such a powerful strength is no longer something that my Kai country can shake! ”

As Takeda Yoshinobu's assistant, Ushido Toramitsu immediately stood up and waved his flag for his disciples: "A set of numbers mentioned by Fang Cai Yasui Shouden is very important, the latest news shows that the stone height of Echigo country is enough to be 2.8 million stone, the country of Echichu is nearly 500,000 stone, and the Shinano country is about 400,000 stone, which is also the most clear to us!"

But Kitashinano has always been in the hands of the Kira family, and the specific stone height is not clear, but it is conceivable that the stone height will not be very low after a few years of governance by the Kira family, after all, there is Kawanaka Island connected to the Chikuma River and the Rhino River, and Ueno Country seems to have more than 400,000 stones, as for the Dewa Country and Kaga Country, it should not be much worse, so the current territory of the Kira family is indeed no less than 4.5 million stones! ”

Since Iitomi Huchang died in the battle of Kawanakajima, several assistants on Takeda Yoshinobu's side have become more closely united, and another assistant Nanpu Huchang also said: "But my Kai only has 240,000 stones, mainly planting a year of barley and a year of rice, mixed with planting some beans and miscellaneous grains, in the past two years, natural disasters have continued to occur and Kawanakajima has been defeated, Kai's vitality has lost more than half, and he is no longer able to fight against the Kira family, and I am not the group of fools of the Miyoshi family. It's not like a few words and some money can be hired to kill you! ”

Imafukutomo Kiyoshi entered the path of Jingxianzhai and immediately said: "The Kira family is a powerful and respectable opponent, but it should not be the sworn enemy of our Takeda family, taking the Kira family as a mortal enemy is to live with our net worth, we should send an envoy to Kasuga Mountain Castle as soon as possible to reach a no-war agreement with the Kira family, it would be great if we could become allies, so that we don't have to worry about a strong enemy behind us!" ”

Katsutada is not only one of the assistants to Takeda Yoshinobu, but also serves as the post of the Kandai and the wartime burden of the military rations in the field, and the Katsutada of the trace and the Chitsuka trace of the same clan Governor Nobuaki belong to two factions, and when they help each other and make each other stumble, in general, their status in the family is basically the same, and the influence is even higher, so everything he says has a great influence, even Takeda Shingen has to attach great importance to it.

In fact, just now Sakurai Nobutada and Katsutada Kibe were singing a double reed play, both of them belonged to the school of the Awagasaki Pavilion, and they were more traditional military attachés who dealt with government affairs and military rations all year round, and they were usually dovish ideas that advocated peaceful coexistence to minimize war losses, and many samurai including Imafukusei Kansai and Nagasaka Fishing Kansai also thought so.

As a result, they quickly shifted from a neutral stance to a pro-Takeda position, both due to personal judgment and concerns about the poor situation of the Kai Takeda clan, and Nagasaka kept a relative distance from the trio. His attitude is still to be close to Takeda Shingen, the family governor. And the other three have basically become the backbone of Takeda Yoshinobu's think tank type.

Shingen Takeda didn't get angry when he saw this stance. Since the two defeats of Kawanakajima, there have been more and more strange voices in the family, and the retainers of the spectrum who used to obey him have gradually become less honest, which has also made his position as the governor no longer as stable as Mount Tai, and if you want to sit firmly on the governor, you need more patience and means, rather than finding a reason to kill people like his father, so that his fate will not be much better than his father.

If you scold your face every time you hear something you don't want to hear, it will make Takeda Shingen's personal situation even more disadvantaged. So his temper is getting better and better these days, and the retainers of the spectrum of generations advised him to take care of his health by entering less women, so he quit the habit of lust for many years, and the retainers of the spectrum suggested that he stay away from men, so he sent all the servants of the Ao to the commission as a grassroots samurai.

Basically, as long as he puts forward a reasonable request, he will be satisfied, and his temper is so good, he doesn't look like that heroic hero but a gentle and kind uncle next door, and with this point, he gradually practiced the kung fu that had been lost for many years, so that Takeda Shingen could basically achieve the extent that the mountain collapsed in front of him and remained unchanged.

Seeing that Takeda Shingen had no intention of refutating, Sakurai Shintada thought for a moment and then boldly proposed: "Actually, your subordinates' opinion, it is better to take this opportunity to make a proposal to the town government to make peace without a fight. How about stabbing the Miyoshi family for the conspiracy of the Kira family? I believe that with the character and past reputation of the town government, I will definitely have a more satisfied attitude towards my Takeda family! ”

"That's a good plan. I don't know what my father means? Yoshinobu Takeda looked at him nervously, as if he was looking forward to his father's final nod, and many of the lineage elders in the family also looked up at him, and the nearly 100 samurai in the entire assessment room turned their eyes to the family governor sitting at the top.

Takeda Shingen seemed to be thinking quietly, the assessment room was so quiet that it was almost audible, every samurai stared at him with bated breath, and it seemed to be as long as an hour in a short moment, since the Kai Takeda clan experienced the unification of Kai by the previous family governor Takeda Shintora, only when he repelled the attack of a strong enemy would he talk about the issue of harmony, even if Takeda Shintora did not take the initiative to give in in to the joint attack of the Imagawa clan and the Hojo clan.

It was too difficult for Takeda Shingen to make this decision, but the predicament in reality kept reminding him that he had to recognize the facts, maybe the entire Ina County would fall into the hands of the Kira family next year, looking back at his younger brother Takeda Shinhiro's worried eyes, Takeda Shingen secretly sighed that he had no choice.

Takeda Shingen sighed and said, "As soon as possible, we will reach peace with the town government, and let Shin Fan serve as the envoy to Kasuga Mountain Castle!" As for the terms of peace, it is enough to act at your discretion, and everything can be promised except for territory and submission. ”

Takeda Shin bowed his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty understands! ”

……

The first month of the new year will be full of beautiful sunshine, and the wind and snow that ravaged half of the eastern country have finally stopped, and a series of dizzying news has forced Kira Yoshitoki to come out of the gentle village, first of all, news from the Echizen Asakura clan, Asakura Yoshikage seems to have noticed the trick played by the Kira family and Ishiyama Honganji, and angrily denounced the Kira family for not keeping the covenant and announced that he would be opposed to the Kira family from now on.

"What is this for? Do allies become the rhythm of the enemy? This Asakura Yoshikei can't be stupid in Ichijo Valley Castle, right? Want to oppose Yu? Is the head really okay? "When Kira Yoshitoki got this information, his first reaction was that this guy was either crazy or stupid, and now there are still people who want to oppose him, it's just the impatience of the old birthday star to hang himself.

On the surface, the Kira family only reached a non-war agreement with Ishiyama Honganji, but in fact, the reservation of some temple properties to Ishiyama Honganji was to leave a chance for Kaga Ichijo to live, and Kaga Ichijomune, who escaped death, would never dare to challenge the bottom line of the Kira family again, so the unlucky one must be the Echizen Asakura family.

Originally, the Kira family sent an envoy to take the initiative to contact the Asakura family to deal with Kaga Ichijo, and Asakura Yoshikage thought that their family was also making certain efforts for Uesugi Teruhu to destroy Echichu and Kaga Ichijo, at least they were trying very hard to contain Echizen Ichi's return to the army's support, but the Kira family did not say a word to invade Nomi County, which was not allowed to intervene in the agreement, which made Asakura Yoshikage very angry.

Then he sent an envoy to reprimand Uesugi Teruto's behavior, but when he saw the strong might of the Uesugi army, Asakura Keiren was quickly instigated, and the original plan of reprimand became soft as if he hadn't eaten, and not long after Asakura Keiren returned to Ichijo Valley Castle, he learned that the Kira family and Ishiyama Honganji had reached a rapprochement, and he almost made Asakura Yoshikage dizzy at that time.

To say that this is a betrayal of the covenant is not necessarily so serious, but at least this is an impolite act of disrespecting allies, and even the minimum samurai ethics are not willing to be enforced, in the eyes of the Echizen Asakura clan, their Kira family is a group of red fruit hypocrites, when they need allies, let the Asakura family go to the thunder to involve the raid space, and when they don't need it, they immediately turn their faces and reach peace with Ishiyama Honganji, this behavior is the lightest to say that there is no discipline.

Asakura Yoshikage didn't know that the Kira family regarded this paper covenant as lighter than toilet paper, if he had paid more attention to notice that the envoy sent by the Kira family was only a subordinate of Kojima Town, the Asakura family would never be so excited to immediately agree to the alliance agreement, but in exchange for a temporary covenant without Kira Yoshitoki's book.

When Asakura Yoshijing angrily turned out the request for the covenant in duplicate, he found that the petition signed at that time was simply simple and unsightly, and the elders of the family of the Asakura family at that time laughed at the envoy of the Kira family for being so amateurish, and the level of writing the invitation was not as rigorous as that of a servant.

In addition, the actions of Shimoma Yorisho and Shichiri Yorishu were indeed too fast, and in less than half a month after the agreement between the Kira family and Kaga Ichimune was reached, all the Nomi counties were completely removed, leaving only a small number of defenders to protect a few temples and a few large cities, and almost the hinterland of Nomi County was exposed to the Kira family, and this level of trust can clearly be seen that the no-war pact signed by the Kira family and Ishiyama Honganji is higher and more detailed and rigorous.

After a closer look, I found that the Kira family actually kept the property of Kaga Ichisho Temple in the inner part of the Honyoshi Minato, which was no longer a simple slap in the face of Asakura Yoshikage, but grabbed the hair of the Asakura family and slammed it on the head with bricks and stones, and finally woke up the Asakura family from the shock, and at the same time made Asakura Yoshikage realize that he was being played by a monkey, so he had this righteous and stern speech.

Kira Yoshitoki can not care about Asakura Yoshikei's attitude, but he can't care less about the next piece of news, the overlord Miyoshi family actually sent an envoy to form an ally with the Echizen Asakura family and the North Omi Asai family, among which the Asai family was already an ally with the Asakura family, so this alliance became the version of the Tsue Etsu Yue Triple Alliance, these three countries are the Settsu country Miyoshi family, the Omi country Asai family, and the Echizen country Asakura family.

Miyoshi Nagakei married his daughter to the new governor of the Asai family, Asai Shinkuro, and at the same time gave the last word in his name to his new son-in-law, thus making the young family governor renamed Asai Nagamasa, and he also became the son-in-law of the Miyoshi family and became a powerful member of the Miyoshi family.

On the other hand, after Miyoshi Chokei's attempt to marry Ashikaga Yoshiki's sister for his son-in-law failed, Asakura Yoshikei proposed that he intended to marry his sister to Miyoshi Yoshiko as the main room, so Asai Nagamasa immediately recalled his ordination sister Akuhime and urgently dressed up to marry Asakura Yoshikei as a side room, and thus the Tsu-E-Vietnam Triple Alliance was officially established.

The establishment of this alliance is very bad news for the Kira family, especially the Asakura family, who are always malicious to the Kira family, will threaten the safety of Hokuriku maritime traffic, which will directly affect the stability of the Kira family to Sakamoto and the huge interests of the Biwa family's maritime monopoly, on the other hand, the Asai family, which is separated only by Lake Biwa and the northern part of Takashima County and Asai County, is also a huge threat, and he will directly affect the safety of this land passage from Wakasa Bay to Sakamoto.
