Chapter 81: Goodwill

Early in the morning, ask for recommendations.

——————————————

After receiving the news that the Akasaka family was preparing to attack Yunoo Castle again, Masarashi immediately gathered 110 troops and waited for them. This time, Masarashi is ready to defeat the opponent head-on. However, from the afternoon of 31 May to the morning of 1 June, there was still no news that the enemy had begun to attack. Could it be that the other party has a more secret path to attack Yunoo Castle? It seems that 20 detectives are not enough, huh? Masashi thought to himself.

Just when Masato was confused, Ichino came with a news that surprised him, the Akasaka family troops gathered on the border moved, but instead of attacking Yunoo Castle, they left a part of the troops to guard the checkpoint and went in the opposite direction of Yuno Tail Castle.

"It seems that there is a problem in the other party's territory, God really helps the Luo family", Zhengliang couldn't help but think.

The battle between the Dono family and the Uekura family has also been decided, and the Uekura family defeated the forces of the Dono family, but did not take the opportunity to cage the castle, but after looting nearby, he slowly crossed the Zauchi River and returned to his own territory. When the time came for the political conscience to express his goodwill, he immediately dispatched Taro Hirasataro to the main castle of the Dono family with the head of Kijiro Dono. As for the defense of the newly occupied territory, due to the fear that the forces would be too scattered, Masarashi simply deployed all the troops he brought to Yunoo Castle, firmly controlling the entrance to the direction of Notaka Village......

Sayama Castle is located on a hill at the mouth of the sea where the tributaries of the Manga Sato River meet and Itaya Bay. At this time, a large group of people gathered in the council hall in the city.

"Lord, this must be the poisonous ploy of that guy from Akasaka Tokitada," someone in the crowd said loudly and angrily. As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a large number of echoes.

"My lord, please bear with your grief for the time being, and it is imperative that the new heir be confirmed immediately, otherwise there will be chaos in the family," said an elderly retainer.

"Katayoshi, do you mean to say that the family should put up with the breath of the young master being killed? Brother, should we ask Akasaka Tokitaka for an explanation? A man in his 30s immediately shouted.

"Yes, ask Akasaka Tokitaka for an explanation!" "Kill Akasaka Shizhong!" Several people in the crowd below suddenly shouted.

"No, Kanjiro-sama, that's not what the old minister meant. My lord, I'm afraid this is a ploy by someone with ulterior motives. Trying to cause chaos in the family," the elderly retainer immediately defended.

"Hmph, of course I have ulterior motives, trying to cause chaos in my family This person is Akasaka Shizhong, I definitely can't get around him", before the head of the Tateishi family could speak, Kanjiro shouted again. The crowd below echoed again.

"Katayoshi, whose family do you think Taro's death is responsible?" Kantaro Tateishi, the head of the Tateishi family, who was grieving, asked the elderly retainers. This retainer has been following Kantaro Tateishi since he was a child, and he is an important minister in the family.

"My lord, your majesty can't guess, but for the sake of the stability of the family, let's first identify the new son-in-law as soon as possible, as for the murderer of the young master, we will definitely find out." The Tateishi family was originally a group of pirates in Itaya Bay, but after annexing several pirate groups in a row, they gradually became a small local tyrant at the mouth of the Manga River tributary. Several wives and concubines in the family are ordinary women, and after the death of the son-in-law in the family, the remaining sons may inherit the family business as sisters-in-law. And precisely because the sons did not have obvious advantages, once the new sons-in-law were decided, it would inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of the small group behind the other sons who were not elected.

"Brother, let's wait a little longer, Taro's body hasn't been buried yet", seeing Kantaro's dilemma, Kanzaburo suggested in a low voice. …,

"Okay, let's confirm the matter of my sister-in-law first", after Kanzaburo was relieved, Kantaro secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to decide......

On an avenue on the shore of Shangcang Lake, nearly 200 peasant soldiers were moving forward rapidly. In the center of the procession was a bald middle-aged man riding a pony, who was none other than Akasaka Shizhong, the head of the Akasaka family.

At this moment, Akasaka Shizhong hated in his heart, first of all, he hated the stupidity of the retainers who stayed in Yunoo Castle, and in a good situation, he fell out with the Tateishi family who had a good cooperative relationship, and even accidentally injured the son of Tateishi Kantaro who had played with him since he was a child (at this moment, Akasaka Shizhong had not received the news that Tateishi Kantaro's son was "seriously injured" and died), which led to the possibility of reconciliation between the two families in a short period of time, so in a fit of anger he killed the retainers who were responsible for staying in Yunoo Castle; Secondly, just as he was gathering his forces and preparing to attack Yunoo Castle alone, which was unguarded, the news came that the coastal Guban, Manyue, and Sugino pirates had jointly invaded the territory, and finally had to give up the opportunity to monopolize Yunoo Castle and temporarily and urgently go to the coastal border to expel these pirates; In the end, he hated the Uekura family, who had secretly formed an alliance, and the latter deliberately delayed the time to launch an attack on the Dono family, so that the main family and the Dono family fought against each other for several days, and even the current pirates are likely to be mobilized by the Uekura family.

"Hmph, we will always have a time to tie the knot", Akasaka Shizhong whipped the pony under his crotch fiercely, and secretly said ruthlessly in his heart.

With the changes of the Akasaka family, the small local tyrants such as the Dongshan family, the Hanoi family, and the Guan Mu family, who had been oppressed by Akasaka and were almost breathless, rioted one after another......

Dono House, Tanoo Castle.

In the spacious meeting hall, the head of the Dono family, Donno Keizune, sat quietly on the main seat, bowing his head and listening to the reports of his retainers.

"My lord, the Uekura family's forces have been withdrawn, but this year's harvest is basically gone in the infested areas, and there are also a large number of retainers, and there are signs of riots in Ashigaru from these places," the retainer whispered.

"Let's disband the ashigaru and go home," said Dono Keizun with a sigh, "Is there enough grain in the warehouse to survive this winter?" ”

"Due to the successive battles, as well as the loss of the territory on the other side of Yunoo Castle, as well as the loss of the territory that has just been invaded, I am afraid that the family's food will be tight this winter," the retainer replied.

Hearing the retainer's reply, Dono Keizun fell into deep thought for a while.

"My lord, there are envoys from Yunoo Castle who claim to be from the Luo family asking for an audience, and they brought the head of the Second Highness taken from the combined forces of Akasaka and Tateishi, and at the same time expressed their willingness to make friends with the family, and in order to show their sincerity, they are willing to exchange weapons with the family with food", seeing that the head of the family was silent, the retainers boldly continued to report.

"The Roche family? Friendship with Lu's kindness? Dono Jingzong said two questions in a row.

"The Luo family is the little tyrant who just occupied Yunowei City, according to Ashigaru who fled back, they took the opportunity to sneak attack when the three families were fighting, and thus occupied the city", the retainer looked at the face of the head of the family and said slowly.

"Huh? Are they here to declare war? Tangye Jingzong couldn't help but say angrily.

Seeing that the head of the family was angry, the retainer immediately knelt on the ground. For a moment, the council hall fell silent again.

"Whew", Keizun looked up at the roof of the council hall, took a long breath, and asked, "Has Kijiro's head been brought back?" "Although the culprit responsible for the current predicament of the Dono family is Kijiro Dono, at first Kono Keimune even had the idea of personally giving an order for Kijiro Dono to apologize, but now Kijiro Dono has been killed. As a father, it hurts no matter what. …,

"I've been taken away by Madame," the retainer whispered.

"This...?" After hearing the report from the retainers, Tangye Jingzong was immediately ready to be angry, but soon quieted down again, and waved his hand dejectedly and said, "That's it, let her go." ”

"The other party's envoy is still there, right?" , Dono Keizong, who was already a little tired, asked.

"Yes, my lord, the messenger is still waiting outside the city", the retainer replied immediately. Since he has received a lot of benefits from the other party, this retainer is also ready to help the other party try his best to fight for it. And these retainers really don't want any more wars.

"It's up to you to negotiate the amount of exchange with the other party, and try to exchange the food provided by the other party as much as possible," Dono Keizun decided after thinking about it.

"Yes, my lord", the retainer bowed down to receive the order, while waiting for the head of the family to reply to the other party's kindness, but after bowing his head and waiting for a while, there was still no response, and he quietly looked up and found that the head of the family was closing his eyes and pondering. The retainers immediately understood, and after saluting again to Dono Keizune, who seemed to be recuperating with his eyes closed, he quietly got up, walked out of the council hall in small steps, and then walked quickly in the direction of Hirasataro.

Hirasataro, who was waiting outside the city, looked at the field in front of him, and it can be said that he had mixed feelings. Just a few months ago, he had been here as a retainer of Kijiro Dono, and now that the original head of the family had died, he had also become a retainer of another powerful family and had come here as an envoy. Of course, although he was saddened by the death of the previous head of the family in his heart, he once tried his best to advise the original head of the family when he made a wrong decision, and he also fought hard after the original head of the family fell into a siege, obviously having fulfilled the duty of a retainer, and he would not gamble his life on a head of the family who could not see the future. But the current head of the family let him see greater hope, so he did his best for the task arranged by Zhengliang. As soon as he came to the border, he immediately used money to send a retainer of the Dono family he knew, whom Ashigaru was guarding the checkpoint, and then sent some money, so that the other party could do his best to help him promote the friendship between the two families. Apparently his arrangement played a role.

Soon, Hirasataro met again with the retainers he had bought with a lot of money, and after learning that the head of the Dono family had not explicitly replied to the friendship between the two families, but agreed to exchange supplies, he was once again deeply impressed by Masayo's foresight. After confirming the amount and location of the exchange of goods with the other party at the current market price, Taro Hirasa immediately embarked on the return journey back to Yunoo Castle. Although he did not get a clear answer from the other party in the end, he at least completed the task of the head of the house.
