Chapter 294: Vertical and Horizontal!

Gao Xianda didn't expect the actual effect of this anti-intrigue to be so good. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He originally thought that even if Inaba Ichitetsu couldn't convince Saito Ryuko, at most he would be imprisoned. After all, he is still a city lord with heavy troops. It is enough to have a program that can arouse other retainers.

But Saito Ryuxing, under the impetus of Yukimaru, completed a perfect assist from a pig teammate and directly killed Inaba Itchitetsu, and didn't even give Inaba Ittetsu a chance to cut his stomach, but ordered someone to push it out and cut it.

In the hearts of Japanese samurai, death is not terrible, honor is the most important thing. Even if he is indeed guilty, seppuku is able to prove the last bravery and honor of a samurai. But Saito Ryuko did not let him seppuku, that is, he was deprived of his last bit of honor, and completely regarded him as a shameless traitor, a sinner who did not regret his death.

This naturally caused an uproar among the retainers of the Saito family.

There is a way that death is greater, and Inaba Ichitetsu has served as the chief patriarch of the Saito family for many years, and his connections in the Saito family are still very extensive. Although it is rumored that Inaba Yitetsu has rebelled, he was cut down by the lord without honor, and the other retainers will inevitably have some sad feelings.

And at this time, the position of the lord of Sone Castle was held by Inaba Sadamitsu, the son of Inaba Istetsu. His father died so inexplicably, and he absolutely could not agree to it.

He would not believe that his father would defect. Even if he really rebelled, he wouldn't do the stupid thing of running to Saito Ryuxing alone to frame the blame, which was tantamount to sending him to death.

He must have made this decision because he had already obtained important information and needed to report it to Saito Ryuko immediately. But Saito Ryuxing didn't appreciate it at all and killed him.

Therefore, the enraged Inaba Sadatsu immediately began to gather all the forces that could be used in and around Sone Castle. He wants to raise an army to avenge his father.

Of course, it's not just that he's young and vigorous.

Inaba Ittetsu set out this time as the chief patriarch of the Saito family, so in addition to his own personal guards, the main force is the troops directly under the lord in Inabayama Castle. This is also the reason why the soldiers in his own camp do not trust him and bite him back. It is also the reason why Saito Ryuko is very angry with Inaba Itchitetsu.

Therefore, the 5,000 people were mainly the troops in Inabayama Castle, and the strength of Sone Castle was actually not greatly weakened.

Of course, Inaba Sadatsu rebelled and rebelled, and he was not stupid, and he did not dare to fight the entire Saito family with his own strength. So he contacted several bigwigs of the Saito family, such as Anten Shousu, Bu Quan, and Bu Poji. Hopefully, they will be able to support themselves.

At this time, An Teng Shou had already been bought by Kinoshita Tengjiro, and immediately expressed his support for Inaba Sadatsu. said that the three of them were united in the same spirit, the lord was unjust, and he killed important ministers in vain, and he also wanted to avenge Inaba Yitie. You can rest assured that your uncle has your full support.

Then An Teng Shou helped Inaba Sadatsu to endorse and persuade the clan Bu Quan and not to break the light rule.

The two of them also did not believe that Inaba Itsuchi would betray. So there must be some misunderstanding in between. And Saito Ryuxing didn't thoroughly investigate this matter, so he killed Inaba Ittetsu, and the two old ministers were also quite chilled.

Although they were unwilling to directly send troops to attack Inabayama Castle and bear the reputation of rebellion, at the very least, they were not willing to work for Saito Ryuko from now on.

But at this time, there was still the Imagawa family staring at them from the side, and they all felt that they should not attack Inabayama Castle at this time, but should unite and preserve their strength. Otherwise, it will be the end of a country ruined and a family ruined.

Antenshou accurately tasted the meaning of their words, they did not support Saito Ryuxing, but they were afraid that after the destruction of the Saito family, they would be gradually eaten away by the Imagawa family.

At this time, Kinoshita Tengjiro, as the envoy of the Imagawa family, began to use his skills as a diplomat.

With a heavy gift, he began to visit these important ministers alone.

Through some small means and his incorruptible tongue, he expressed the position of the Imagawa family very clearly.

The Imagawa family is a side branch of the Ashikaga family, and it is the blood of the shogun. Now that the Ashikaga family is weak, the Imagawa family wants to wave the glory of General Kamiraksutsu. Not against the Saito family.

However, Saito Ryuko violated the mandate of heaven and took the initiative to attack the Imagawa family, which was disrespectful to the shogun's family. Therefore, the Imagawa family is the only one to punish this time, Saito Ryuxing. If you are willing to return to the Imagawa family. The original province will remain unchanged, and additional material rewards will be granted. If Shangluo succeeds, he will also ask for the official position of the imperial court for all of you.

Of course, after talking about the benefits, Kinoshita Tengjiro also had to show his tough side. It is said that at this time, several other adults have already agreed to the request of the Imagawa family, and if you don't give face, we can only send troops.

The story of Kinoshita Tengjiro's construction of Sumata Castle overnight and the defeat of 5,000 members of the Saito family with 500 men has spread throughout the Mino territory under Kinoshita's deliberate propaganda.

These important ministers naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Imagawa family. And it is reminiscent of the fate of Oda Nobunaga and the Imagawa family against him before. Of course, they did not dare to fight the Imagawa family head-on.

In particular, many people in the Saito family have already agreed to the Imagawa family's request, and they can't be the first bird to become the key target of the Imagawa family. Since the conditions given by the Imagawa family are quite generous, it is better to agree as soon as possible.

Although they didn't say anything at the time in order to raise the price, they didn't refuse Kinoshita Tengjiro to die.

Kinoshita Tengjiro is a very patient person, and he can see that the other party is waiting for the price to sell, so he takes the trouble to visit the door over and over again, quite a bit of a taste of three visits to the thatched house. Finally got all the heavyweights of several city lords.

Of course, now that they have chosen to surrender, they can no longer stand still. The treatment of being a wall-to-wall in a castle and taking the initiative to send troops will naturally not be the same. So these bigwigs of the Saito family began to go out one after another.

The most emotional in this is naturally Inaba Sadatsu, who made it clear that as long as he can avenge his father, he will be able to use the Imagawa family as a cow and a horse in the future.

As the representative of the Imagawa family, Kinoshita Tengjiro can only choose to laugh and not speak.

As a result, more than seventy percent of the Saito family's forces are now all turning against the water and slowly gathering under the castle of Inabayama Castle. However, the Imagawa family sent only a symbolic number of more than 1,000 soldiers, and they were temporarily recruited from other castles in Owari. Gao Xianda did not go out in person.
