At Suruga Kokuhafu Castle in Tokaido, with a thunderclap, the heavy rain immediately tilted down.

Immediately, from morning to noon, the sound of iron cannons that had been resounding outside Ninomaru in Sunfu Castle suddenly stopped abruptly at this moment. In Ninomaru, the iron artillery team of the Suruga Imagawa family has all retreated, and now a team of gunashigaru transferred from Honmaru is constantly reinforcing Ninomaru.

"Bang! Bang! "At the gate of Ninomaru Castle, with the continuous attack of the army of the Enoe-Imagawa family, the sound of wooden stakes hitting the door was rushed. Moreover, in the blink of an eye, the army of the Toe Imagawa family, which had paid a heavy price for casualties in the morning, and Horikiri, which could not be filled, had been filled in an instant.

At this time, the army of the Toe Imagawa family braved the heavy rain with the arrow shield and the arrows that crossed from time to time, and continued to attack without hesitation. Although the archers of the Suruga Imagawa clan were firing with all their might, the army of the Imagawa clan of Toe was now in full swing, regardless of casualties. And rainy days also have a great impact on the range, aim, and toughness of the bow and arrow, but at the moment it can only be barely used.

Under Ninomaru Castle, straw sandals slammed into the mud, splashing muddy water everywhere, and the heavy rain hit the hats on the heads of the Toe Imagawa family's footlight for a while, and the flag fingers were also wet and became submissive. The rain slid down from the armor, and the black pressed a large army of the Imagawa family of Toe that could not be seen from the beginning to the end, drenched, standing in the distance with spears in hand, their eyes fixed on the city gate.

In fact, the tenacity of Sunpu Castle's Ninomaru gate is not as strong as that of Tengumaru's Otemon. So, under the continuous impact of the army of the Imagawa family in Yuanjiang, with a "boom", sawdust flew in the city gate, and the city gate was finally attacked.

"Kill!"

"Oh!"

There is no need for the call of the leaders of each team. After seeing the gates of the city breached. The soldiers of the Imagawa family army of the Yuanjiang family, who had been waiting there for a long time, were like being beaten with chicken blood. All of them turned red, and the whole army swarmed in.

"The city is broken! The city is broken! ”

Countless people shouted at the same moment, the purpose of this was not only to cheer themselves up, but also to shake the morale of the defenders of the Suruga Imagawa family.

On the horse road of Sunfu Castle Ninomaru, the army of the Toe Imagawa family rushed like a tide and engaged the defenders of the Suruga Imagawa family behind the castle gate. The design of the horse road of Ninomaru is a bit similar to that of the road. On the road, which is only five rooms wide, there are four-room high stone walls on both sides, so the area for frontal combat is very narrow. The army of the Imagawa family lined up in a long line, and the people behind pushed the people in front and rushed forward one by one.

Therefore, the samurai who rushed to the front was ashigaru, and if he didn't move, he wouldn't be pushed forward by his own self behind. If one is accidentally overturned to the ground, the feet of countless people will be trampled on him. In this five-room-wide narrow front, only the sound of the collision of swords, spears, and naginatas was heard. Without saying a word, the soldiers of the two armies slashed at each other.

People are constantly being stabbed or shot and thrown to the ground, but there are those who are injured who stop. It was also the army of the Imagawa family who rushed from behind that they trampled to death. A dull shout, mixed with a terrible scream before death, the army of the Yuane Imagawa family did not stop.

And at this moment of fierce battle between the two sides, above the Honmaru Otemon Gate in Sunpu Castle, several people were put down by bamboo baskets, and they played the banner of negotiating with the Toe Imagawa family.

Masara, who suddenly received this news, was stunned at first, but soon understood, and he immediately ordered the armies to suspend the attack, and then asked his second son, Nobuyo Roshi, and Kansuke Yamamoto, a military officer, to receive the envoy of the Suruga Imagawa family. After all, he can't show up casually at this time, otherwise it will cause too many problems, and even the second son and the military advisor who came forward had to receive the envoy of the Suruga Imagawa family as a retainer of the Toe Imagawa family.

Of course, although he did not come forward directly, Masahiro still controlled the negotiations between the two sides behind the scenes. However, when Masara learned that the main commander of the Suruga Imagawa family's mission this time was actually a generation of female daimyo Shou Guini, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then he realized that he was afraid that this time the Imagawa family's civil strife would soon be over.

Sure enough, Shou Guini quickly proposed the idea of surrendering and ending the civil strife in the Imagawa family, of course, she also had the conditions to surrender.

First of all, the Imagawa family must release the Imagawa clan, who is under house arrest. In exchange, the Imagawa clan would relinquish his position as governor of the Imagawa family, but he would be able to travel to the Hojo family territory with his Lady Masamuro Hayakawa (daughter of the Hojo clan).

Second, release all the members of the Suruga Imagawa family who had been captured by the Toe Imagawa family during the Imagawa family's civil war, especially the hostages of the wealthy families who were under house arrest.

Finally, Imagawa Burial Zero can inherit the position of Imagawa family governor, but his name must be changed to Imagawa Clan.

For Shou Guini's three conditions, Masahiro only agreed to the third condition, and as for the first two conditions, Masayo disagreed.

For the first condition, Masayo will never agree, as the so-called grass does not eradicate the roots of the spring breeze and rebirth, when the Hanakura Rebellion, Shou Guini stubbornly adhered to this principle, and forced the rival of Imagawa Yoshimoto, who escaped to commit suicide, and now Masayo naturally adheres to this principle.

As for the second condition, Masarashi agreed, but added a precondition, that is, after the Toe Imagawa family fully received all parts of Suruga Province, it would be released one after another.

Shou Guini naturally would not agree to the two surrender conditions proposed by Zhengliang behind the scenes, so the two sides bargained.

However, in order to put pressure on Shou Guini, Masarashi also issued an order to continue the attack on Sunfu Castle Honmaru, and as the battle began again, Shou Guini, who had been hard-mouthed until now, finally relented, so the two sides finally reached an agreement to end the civil strife in the Imagawa family.

The content of the agreement was mainly to officially recognize that the Toe Imagawa family had inherited the position of governor of the Imagawa family, which had been contested since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and from then on, the Imagawa family ended the internal strife of the Ichiē, and the Toe Imagawa family and the Suruga Imagawa family were also officially merged.

And in order to reach this agreement, the two sides also compromised the terms of three truces:

First of all, the captured Imagawa clan will be released, and he will be sent to settle in the castle town of Gakufu Castle in Hizen Province, the Roshi family, an ally of the Imagawa family, along with his wife, family members, and others, and will not be allowed to return to the Imagawa family's territory in Tokaido without permission. The living expenses of the family will be paid by the Imagawa family to the Luo family.

did not kill Imagawa Shin, this is already the biggest concession of Masara to Shou Guini, and I believe that as long as he reaches Gakufu Castle, Masara believes that Imagawa Shin will also like the many cultures there, as long as Imagawa Shin obediently settles there in the future, he and his family will naturally live a happy and stable life.

Secondly, after the Imagawa family is completely settled, all the members of the Suruga Imagawa family who were captured by the Toe Imagawa family in the Imagawa family's civil war will be gradually released, especially the hostages of the wealthy families who are under house arrest.

Finally, Imagawa Burial Zero can inherit the position of Imagawa family governor, but his name must be changed to Imagawa Clan.

Of course, under the instructions of Masayo, everyone in charge of negotiations in the Imagawa family of Enoe put forward the idea that Shou Guini would continue to stay at home and help integrate the Imagawa family with the Imagawa family.

However, Shou Guini seems to be a little disheartened, after all, if it weren't for the survival of the Imagawa family, she wouldn't have made such a difficult choice in the end, so she didn't agree to everyone's request, but wanted to continue to stay in the Imagawa family's ancestral temple and meditate on the wake of her son Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was killed by the Oda family before.

Regarding Shou Guini's request, Masahiro could only agree behind the scenes. When Nobuya Roche and Shou Guini signed an agreement on behalf of each of the two families, the Imagawa family's two-year-long civil war finally came to an end.

At this time, the torrential rain stopped, and the setting sun fell on the ground one by one through the cracks of the dark clouds.

Junfu Castle stands as it used to be.

In Sunfu Castle Ninomaru, the corpses of the army of the Enoe-Imagawa family and the defenders of the Suruga Imagawa family are everywhere.

And after the news of the end of the Imagawa family's tent was announced, both the defenders of the Suruga Imagawa family and the siege army of the Enoe-Imagawa family were all excited, and they all raised their guns and shouted.
