In the hall of Suruga Province in Tokaido, when the Imagawa clan, the governor of the Suruga Imagawa family, said that he planned to go out to Enoe Province and attack the Toe Imagawa family, all the retainers in the hall looked at each other, and no one responded for a while.

It's not that these retainers are unwilling to respond, but among the retainers here, there are no more assertive retainers to be found. At the beginning, with the death of Taiyuan Xuezhai, the Imagawa family lost a pillar, and when Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed on the way to Luo, many important ministers in the family were either killed in battle or seriously injured, and many people were still recuperating at home.

So among the retainers present, the only ones who could handle it were Okabe Motonobu and Asahina Taichao. However, Okabe Motonobu had just been defeated by the Imagawa family in Ene Province last year, so he didn't dare to respond to the Imagawa clan's inquiries at will now. As for Asahinai Taichao, he was also sulking at this time.

The reason for his sulking is also very simple, last year, when the army of the Imagawa family of Enoe Province was on a campaign in Enjiang Province, it was his family's castle of Kagawa Castle that resisted the advance of the Imagawa family of Enoe Province. As a result, Okabe Motonobu and Imagawa Shin fell for Imagawa's anti-plot to bury zero, and summoned him and many people in his family to the Suruga Kunijun Mansion Castle for questioning, which was actually a disguised house arrest for them.

Originally, this was enough to annoy the Hinatai Dynasty, but then Okabe Motonobu was defeated under the Enoe Kuniza Royal Castle, and even collapsed for thousands of miles, so that at this time, Kakegawa Castle, which seemed empty due to the absence of the main family members such as the Asahina Tai Dynasty, was taken by the army of Imagawa Burying in one fell swoop, and the Asahinatai Dynasty clan also lost its territory in the Enoe Province, and many of the family members and clansmen of the Asahinatai Dynasty fell into the hands of the Enoe Imagawa family.

Thankfully. Previously, Shou Guini sent an envoy to the Imagawa family of Enoe Province to ask for the release of the captives of the Hiroden family and the Sekiguchi family, who had lost their territory. The Toe Imagawa family also expressed their willingness to release the family members and clansmen of the Asahinai Tai Dynasty at the same time.

So the Asahi Binai Taichao hurriedly sent someone to negotiate secretly. In the end, his family and people were rescued, but his family signed an armistice agreement with the Imagawa family in Enoe Province, the main content of which was that for the next five years, no one in the Asahina Tai Dynasty or any part of his family was allowed to participate in the raid against the Imagawa family in Enoe Province.

The Asahi Binai Dynasty has been fighting for half a lifetime, where have you ever suffered such a loss? What made him even more angry was that the culprits who caused him to sign such a humiliating agreement were none other than Imagawa Shin and Okabe Motonobu, so when Imagawa Shin proposed to take the opportunity to attack the Imagawa clan in Enoe Province today, he naturally hid his head. I'm not going to talk at all.

And in the case that Okabe Motonobu and Asahina Tai did not respond, the rest of the retainers naturally would not respond indiscriminately, otherwise the incompetent governor in front of him would arrange for him to lead his army to Enoe Province, then it would be miserable. Now that the Imagawa family in Enoe Province is in the limelight, those characters and deeds of the victorious general Shinra Gongzi, Ghost Hundred Martial Warriors, etc., have been continuously spread to the side of Suruga Province (these are all done by the Luo Family Intelligence Pavilion), which has already made everyone tremble, and it would be good if people didn't take the opportunity to invade the territory of Suruga Province, but now you still take the initiative to provoke others? This is completely a fire in the thatched house, looking for death!

Thus, a meeting of Imagawa Shin's original passion ended in a strange atmosphere. And the question that the Imagawa clan really planned to take the opportunity to attack the Imagawa family in Toe did not come to a final conclusion.

"Damn it!"

After all the retainers left, the Imagawa clan, who was already angry, casually threw out a tea bowl beside him.

"Oops!"

Who knew if it would be thrown like this. It happened to be thrown into the head of Sekiguchi Qinaga, who happened to come in, causing a bubble on the latter's head, but Sekiguchi Qinyong didn't care about inheriting the scream, and saw him hurriedly report to the Imagawa clan:

"Lord, Madame, please!" The lady Sekiguchi Qinaga is called here is not the main room of the Imagawa clan, but the main room of the Imagawa family's last governor, Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"Humph!" Because of Matsudaira Motoyasu's independence and the disappearance of Matsudaira Motoyasu's family, the Imagawa clan was already a little dissatisfied with Sekiguchi Qinaga, so even if he saw that the other party was smashed by himself, he didn't say anything, but after hearing that it was his grandmother Shou Guini who invited him, he snorted coldly and stood up, and went out directly bypassing Sekiguchi Qinaga.

When he arrived at his grandmother's residence, Imagawa saw two people visiting his grandmother, both of whom he knew, one was a retainer of his father-in-law, Hojo Yasu, and the other was his relative, Nakato Nobuhide (who was also the father-in-law of Masarashi Roshi).

After the two sides met, first Nakagomon Nobuhide explained his intentions, and this time he came on behalf of the shogunate and the imperial court, in order to mediate the civil strife of the Imagawa family and prevent the people of Imagawa and other regions from falling into war.

Of course, this time the shogunate's intervention was mainly facilitated by the Luo family and the Hojo family. As for the Luo family, the relationship between the two sides became even closer because they had previously sent Masahiro's sister-in-law, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, to Kyoto to meet with Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and the two sides reached a more detailed mutual cooperation agreement on the Luo family's Shangraku to help the shogun.

Therefore, the Luo family also took advantage of this opportunity to put forward the hope that the shogunate and the imperial court could intervene in the internal strife of the Imagawa family, an ally of the Luo family, so that the two sides of the split could suspend their wars. For this reason, the Luo family also proposed to simply keep the Imagawa family in a state of being divided into two for the time being, and at the same time, the two positions of Imagawa Yoshimoto's original Suruga guardian and Enoe's guardian were also divided into two, and the Imagawa clan was given a burial of Imagawa Shin and Imagawa respectively.

In fact, this is the fact that the Luo family has done a solid job of dividing the Imagawa family into two in the general righteousness, and in the general righteousness, it has ordered the Imagawa funeral zero to obtain the political capital to inherit the position of the original family governor of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

For such a request of the Luo family, a discerning person can see the meaning, but due to the failure of Imagawa Yoshimoto Shangluo, the Imagawa family's power in Kyoto has also been affected a lot, many ministers who originally supported the Imagawa family were silent at this time, and even the Nakayumon family, which is Imagawa Yoshimoto's own family, did not object, plus the shogun was originally dissatisfied with Imagawa Yoshimoto's use of force to go to Luo without his invitation (this is obviously to rob him of his head to the shogunate shogun, Naturally, he won't be happy), so the Luo family's mention of yì has been supported by many people at once.

What's even more coincidental is that at this time, the envoy of the Hojo family also came to Kyoto and made a request to the shogunate and the imperial court, so the shogunate and the imperial court happened to take advantage of the Hojo family's request to make the Hojo family act as the arbiter of the two sides of the Imagawa family's split, and bring the Luo family's Jian yì to Tokaido to mediate the Imagawa family's civil strife.
