Chapter 1056: The Belly of the Villain
The moon is almost setting, but the light is already dawning in the east.
And at this time, behind a large rock in a remote area of Inabayama Castle, there was a low voice:
"It's here!"
It was Horio Yoshiharu of the Luo family who spoke. Previously, under his guidance, Saito Michizo and the Luo family finally climbed to Inaba Mountain Castle through the secret mountain path in Guò.
When everyone heard Horio Yoshiharu's words, the leader Saito Michizo and the Luo family envoys came to Horio Yoshiharu's side, and then cautiously poked their heads out.
I saw that the castle tower of Inabayama Castle was in front of it, and there were also some warehouses, yashiki, and outposts. There was silence all around, all immersed in the early morning dawn and the clear February mist on the hills. Looking at the situation, it seems that there are very few guards in the Saito family's Inabayama Castle, but in a courtyard somewhere to the northeast, there is a faint light.
"That's a stack." Michizo Saito looked at the brightly lit garden and said, "It was built in the next year, and it just faces the Nagara River, and the scenery is very good." ”
Saito Michizo's voice seemed calm at this time, but he was very shocked in his heart. As early as half a month ago, he and hundreds of people from the Luo family were secretly lurking in Inaba Mountain, and such a large number of troops were able to lurk there quietly, so that the people of Inabayama Castle had not found out, which had already shocked Saito Michizo.
But what shocked and even frightened him even more was that the Luo family seemed to have spread a wide range of hidden lines in Inabayama Castle, and even lit a small bonfire in a secret place on the wall of Inabayama Castle near the secret mountain path they climbed tonight. Let all the people in the mountains below the city know that tonight is the time to act. That's why they climbed for nearly an hour tonight (mainly because there were more than a hundred of them.) The team can't move until everyone climbs Inabayama Castle, so the climb takes a long time).
What does this mean? In Saito Michizo's opinion, first of all, there were people in the Luo family who answered in the city, which had already made Saito Michizo break out in a cold sweat, and secondly, these internal directors of the Luo family were able to know that Saito Michizo and others were already lurking outside the city, which can only show that the Luo family's internal should be widely distributed in the city. and the ability to stay in touch with the outside of the city at any time; In the end, the fact that the Luo family's inner should was able to find a secret bonfire burning place in the city wall that was both hidden and could be seen by everyone in the mountains below the city, which only showed that the other party was very familiar with the layout of the city.
So, for a period of time, Saito Michizo even had a feeling that Inabayama Castle, which claimed to be a famous defensive facility in the world, turned out to be a virtual reality.
However, these are not the things that Michizo Saito is most shocked and worried about. What he is most concerned about is that so far, he still can't understand why the son-in-law of Luo Shizheng will not hesitate to expose his various secret layouts in the Saito family. Thus helping it regain control of the Mino Kingdom.
If you believe that at the age when Saito Michizo is about to enter the earth, he still believes that what Luo Masarashi wrote in his letter, "As a son-in-law, but also for Nohime." Naturally, he did his best to help his father-in-law", then Saito Michizo's name as a pit viper is a false name, and Saito Michizo himself simply went straight to the ground.
As a person who has come over, and the son-in-law of Luo Masarashi is known for his scheming, Saito Michizo really doesn't understand why Luo Masarashi helped him so much? After all, no matter how you look at it, even if it helps him regain control of the Meinong Kingdom, the benefits to the Luo family are actually limited.
It is precisely because he can't find a reason why Luo Shi Masarashi so exposed his many layouts in the Mino Country to help him, but he always feels that Luo Masarashi must have his purpose, and even a conspiracy, so Saito Michizo always feels terrified in the depths of his heart. This feeling was given to others by his pit viper Michizo Saito in the past, but what he didn't expect was that now he was put on him by his son-in-law.
In fact, Saito Michizo is completely jealous of a gentleman in the belly of a villain, or Saito Michizo usually has too many intrigues and tricks, and he always looks at the things around him from the perspective of conspiracy. In fact, Masarashi really wholeheartedly helped Michizo Saito regain control of Mino Province this time.
As Saito Michizo had predicted, even if the Luo family took advantage of this opportunity to occupy Inabayama Castle with the help of Saito Michizo, with the complex shape of Mino Province at this time, as well as the many wealthy forces that were not weak, this Inabayama Castle would sooner or later fall back into the hands of the wealthy clans of Mino Country, and even the Oda family and Takeda family who took advantage of the chaos to enter the country. In short, Meinong Country is a chicken rib for the Luo family at this time, and it is a little reluctant to abandon it, but with the character of Zhengliang, it is naturally decisive and directly abandoned.
However, after returning Mino Province to the hands of Saito Michizo, it will be beneficial to the Luo family from a long-term perspective. Although it has been operated by Saito Yoshiryu for a period of time, the traces of Saito Michizo's management of Mino Province for more than ten years cannot be erased in such a short period of time, so the prestige of Saito Michizo in the entire Mino Country at this time is still very strong. As long as he reappears and controls Inabayama Castle and some important people of the Saito family, and encounters when Saito Yoshiryu has just died violently and the Saito family has lost its backbone, as long as Saito Michizo uses some means, he will naturally be able to easily regain full control of Mino Province.
And as long as Michizo Saito returns to power, then it is equivalent to making Mino Province a nail. With Saito Michizo's ability, even if the Takeda family tries to come to Shangluo through Guò Mino Province in the future, they will be stopped by Saito Michizo.
As for the Oda family, in the short term, because of the Saito family's ally, it is indeed beneficial to its development. But in the long run, the Saito family also became an obstacle to the Oda family. After all, in history, the Oda family took advantage of the fact that the foundation of Saito Ryuxing was not stable after the ascension of Saito Ryuxing, and dug the foot of the wall of the Mino country, which made the Mino country a territory in its territory, and strengthened the foundation of the Oda family, and controlled a shortcut path to Shangluo, so that it could succeed in Shangluo in the future.
Now, Masara has re-promoted Saito Michizo back to the position of governor of the Saito family, so the trajectory of history has changed because of this, thus curbing the development trajectory of the Oda family in a certain way.
And there is no way for Masara to do this, although at this time the Luo family can be called the first big name of the Warring States, but due to the geographical location, compared to the Oda family, the Takeda family, these Warring States daimyo, the Luo family's road to Luo is still a little far. And Masato didn't want to, before he led the army of the Luo family to Luo, there were Warring States daimyo such as the Oda family and the Takeda family who succeeded in going to Luo before him, and he didn't want to face the Oda family next to him, which had completely become a climate, so there was the Luo family's full help for Saito Michizo to return to Mino Country this time.
Of course, Masayo, who is familiar with Saito Michizo's character, also knows that with this cooperation, in fact, the rift between him and Saito Michizo has widened again, after all, with Saito Michizo's character as a pit viper, no one is allowed to spy on him in secret, and the various layouts revealed by the Luo family in Mino Country this time really made the pit viper feel that he was being fully monitored by the Luo family.
Therefore, after the end of this cooperation, Saito Michizo will inevitably conduct a comprehensive investigation of the situation in Saito's family, so as to eliminate the hidden chess pieces of forces such as the Luo family, and for the sake of safety, at the end of this cooperation, in addition to the Luo family intelligence cabinet personnel hidden in the people, all the rest of the Luo family personnel in Mino Country will also be transferred to the Enjiang country area.
At this time, Yuanjiang Country was the stronghold where the Luo family secretly supported development. As for Mino, as long as it continues to play its role as a nail with the support of Michizo Saito.
