Two smart people talk, a little through.

As wariness develops, the conversation becomes dull and cautious.

Maeda Toshiie said.

"The lord transferred a total of 3,000 koku to me the territory of Owari and the Keimura Stockhouse, and officially appointed me to be the acting officer of Owari Spo."

Riku glanced at her.

Takada Yono was the acting officer of the previous generation of Owari Spo, and he gave the position to Maeda Toshiya before leaving, but this was a temporary appointment.

Now that Spo Yoshiin has officially issued the order, Maeda Toshiya can be regarded as justifiably dominating Owari Spo.

The title has also become fast, from Yiyin Jun to the Lord, is this ready to call the board?

Rika continued.

"The Lord doesn't know about the Battle of Barrel Saga, and I don't know that Owari Spo has changed from 3,000 koku to 13,000 koku.

I will accept 3,000 stone Zhixing, and the other 10,000 stone will be collected in the form of Sibo material. ”

Li Jiu seemed to listen carefully, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, the Li family was going to forcibly squeeze into the list.

With 10,000 stone spo, ranked after Maeda's interests, he joined the battle circle.

She did attack Imagawa Yoshimoto in the barrel and won the reward of Oda Nobunaga's 10,000 stone Zhixing.

Now that all the results of the battle belong to the Spo family, even if the Lord comes in person, he can only praise her, and cannot prevent her from being shortlisted.

That's what the real thing is.

Others knelt to accept the gift of the lord, but she stood and took the place of admission.

Not chilling, very chilling.

In this regard, Maeda Toshihisa is also helpless.

At the beginning, she also laughed at her sister and daughter because they liked Sipo Yiyin.

Now that the two sides are facing each other, she can't laugh.

What's even more helpless is that as the mother of Maeda's interests, she must stand by her daughter's side.

In recent years, he has won the real power of 25,000 stone territory, which is a godsend for the Maeda family.

Even if she doesn't want to go, her relatives, friends, and subordinates will encourage her to go.

What's more, she can't care about the life or death of interests, and she will definitely go.

Then there was a conflict with his sister Lijia.

Both sides have territories above 10,000 goku that need to be managed by the Hime samurai, and the credible Ji samurai must be from the Maeda family.

Whoever it is given to will have a more stable territory and a more rapid growth in power.

No one will budge in such a matter involving fundamental interests. In particular, the two sides already have a sense of competition, and it is impossible to back down.

This topic is dead, and if you don't want to tear your face now, Maeda Toshihisa can't pick up the conversation.

She said.

"What about Motoyasu Matsudaira?

She shouted for a long time, and only waited for the autumn harvest to attack. ”

The Li family smiled contemptuously.

"After the news of the recent battles came, I asked people to spread the word in the direction of Mikawa that the Matsudaira family's movements on the border had been significantly lighter.

Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't really want to attack Owari.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's tens of thousands of troops have not been done, what dare she dare to try again.

It's just that the Imagawa family is in turmoil, and she has to pretend to be a gesture in order to protect herself. ”

Maeda Toshihisa shook his head speechlessly.

"Even if she is intimidated by the prestige of Qian Xingong, she still has to attack, she has no choice."

After the death of the Imagawa family in battle, there was a serious civil strife.

According to the custom of troubled times, if the young lord Imagawa clan really wants to ascend to the throne, he must prove himself with iron and blood.

Either raise the butcher's knife inward, kill the retainers until the retainers are all broken, bow their heads and surrender.

Either unite within, wage war outward, and reap the spoils of war from the vassals.

The Imagawa clan lacked real power and was not sure to overwhelm the retainers internally, so she could only choose to export contradictions externally.

And the Nishimikawa Matsudaira family, which is about to leave, is her best target.

The Imagawa family owns Suruga Province, Enoe Province, Higashi Mikawa, and a half-territory of the two countries.

With mountains on one side and the sea on the other, only things can expand.

To the east, there are two other territories of the three alliances of Imagawa, Takeda, and Hojo, and it is impossible for her to go to war.

Then the western West Three Rivers is the best target for her.

The only thing Matsudaira Motoyasu can rely on is the quasi-public treatment given to her by Imagawa Yoshimoto.

In the name of the death of the person who is a confidant of the soldier, he waged war against Owari and avenged Imagawa Yoshimoto.

In this way, the Imagawa clan, who is a daughter, will not dare to knife her.

Therefore, Maeda Toshihisa said that Matsudaira Motoyasu had no choice and had to attack the Spo territory south of Owari.

She consumed her precious strength, just to survive, even if the Spo family was famous, she had to kill it.

Maeda Toshiya didn't think so and said.

"Even if Matsudaira Motoyasu attacks, he will squeeze his own family in exchange for time to continue his life, but this will not solve the problem.

The Imagawa clan will definitely attack her, just waiting for the right time.

The hope of the Matsudaira family is in Owari, in His Highness Oda.

Her Royal Highness Oda has no interest in Mikawa, and her goal is Mino. ”

Maeda Toshihisa thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as the Toshiya said.

Oda Nobunaga's goal is to occupy the Nobi Plain, so Mino Isshiki Yoshiryu, who owns the other half of the plain, is the target of her conquest.

And the dilemma that Nishimikawa Matsudaira Motoyasu is facing now lies with the Imagawa family, not the Oda family.

If her family is willing to become a barrier for the Oda family at the end of the Tokaido, to block the Imagawa family's invasion of the heart of Owari.

Oda Nobunaga would definitely support Matsudaira Motoyasu against Imagawa Shin, and even help her unify the Mikawa Kingdom.

Maeda Toshihisa said.

"Matsudaira Motoyasu followed Imagawa Yoshimoto to Owari just now, and he turned rashly, aren't you afraid that the Oda family will regret it?"

Toshiya Maeda smiled.

"That's why I asked people to spread the news of the recent battles to Mikawa Province, increasing her concerns about attacking Owari.

The Spoo family is not easy to mess with, and her survival methods could cause even more trouble.

So, in the face of high costs, should other possibilities be considered?

Matsudaira Motoyasu was a hostage girl in Owari and played with His Highness Oda for many days, and I followed them at the time. ”

Maeda Toshihisa gave her a blank look.

If Maeda Toshiya hadn't had a bad brain, he would have to follow Spo Yoshigin, and with her connections in the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga's letter would have soared sooner or later.

"So you're going to pave the way for the union of the two families?"

Toshiie Maeda nodded.

"That's right.

His Royal Highness Oda has always paid attention to practical benefits, and as long as it is useful to her, even the Matsudaira family, who just waved a knife at her, can greet her with a smile.

And Matsudaira Motoyasu was cornered, with the Spo family in front of him, the risk of attacking Owari became greater, and the wise man did not take it.

Now that the two have no conflict of interest, but have the possibility of complementing each other, why can't they get closer?

They are also partners who play together when they are young, and when it comes to personal relationships, it is not bad. ”

Toshihisa Maeda nodded in agreement.

Cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and division is harmful to both. They are all heads of the family, there is no need to be emotional, not to mention that their relationship is not bad.

With the fig leaf of a childhood friend, and the Maeda Toshiya in the middle, there is a matchmaker.

The Owari Oda family and the Mikawa Matsudaira family can reach an alliance and seek common development.
