Chapter Seventy-Six: The Green Hat's Righteous Yuan
"Sure enough, this topic is too stimulating for Shinna?" It was only then that Fang Yan began to sigh with a helpless expression.
"Lord Fang Yan, you are also too ruthless, you actually tease our head of the family like this." Niwa Nagahide couldn't help but condemn.
Fang Yan glanced at the other party and said slowly: "Even if you specially perform a lame cross talk like this, it is just an expedient measure at most, and this promise will still be fulfilled in the future, so you must get an accurate answer from Xinnai." ”
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Niwa Nagahide said sincerely.
Fang Yan's face softened slightly, but what worried him the most now was not Shinna's promise, but what would happen to Imagawa Yoshimoto if he knew about it?
"So what now?" Niwa Nagahide asked.
"Although Shinna didn't agree, but what should be done still has to be done, it's really troublesome, this little girl." Fang Yan sighed again, stood up and walked outside, walking as he went.
"Take Shinna, let's go to Zhengde Temple first, about this matter, I will continue to work hard in the future, if it doesn't work, forget it, I will find a chance to get a win-win strategy in the future, Shinna is my subordinate, but I can't let her be wronged."
"Thank you for your understanding." Niwa Nagaxiu's eyes were soft, and the light posture of the Korean dialect came to the most serious earthen seat, and he couldn't kneel for a long time, showing his gratitude.
…… The Sengoku Higashiyamado Road, the geographical center of Japan, divided Japan in half, was tabooed and envied by countless daimyo because of its excellent geographical location and terrible commercial economy.
As always, the morning sun shines on Inabayama Castle, which stands among the peaks, and it is full of people coming and going.
Early in the morning, the figure of Isuzu Chiyo appeared in the pavilion of Inabayama Castle, and with a herald in the dialect, he met Saito Michizo, a pit viper of Mino Province.
"Dao Sanren, I'm back." Isuzu Chiyo was dusty, and his face still had unwiped dust and a look of sleepiness.
"Welcome back, it's been a hard journey, Chiyo." Saito Michizo greeted politely, but there was no pity in his expression, worthy of the name of the poisonous pit viper. "This is what I should do as a retainer of the Saito family." Isuzu replied respectfully.
"How, what is the attitude of the Imagawa family, or the Kono Castle dialect?" Michizo Saito asked with a flicker of his eyes and to the point.
Not only Saito Michizo, but countless daimyo in the world have already seen that the status of dialects in the Imagawa family can even be said to be another Imagawa Yoshimoto, whose power is strong and his reputation is terrifying, and he is even above the head of his family, Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"War has been declared......" Isuzu bowed his head.
"What... Sorry I didn't hear you clearly, you say it again. ”
"The Imagawa family has declared war on us!" Chiyo Isuzu repeated it again in an extremely firm tone.
"Declaration of war?!" Michizo Saito's wrinkled face like a dead tree showed a look of disbelief, and he stayed in place and muttered, "It shouldn't be......"
Although the Oda family, which was a friendly army and a righteous daughter, was destroyed by the other party, he chose to protect himself, not only did he not send out the allies, but he didn't even stop Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiro's move, the other party should not have made a move against him, and Fang Yan's hand surprised him.
Saito Michizo's gaze immediately shifted to Isuzu Chiyo, but the person in front of him was his cronies, and there was no reason to deceive himself, and besides, this kind of thing only needed a little investigation to know the truth, and there was no need to lie at all.
Ignoring the other party's surprised expression, Isuzu Chiyo coughed lightly, and then said, "Yes, this is a letter from the ancient no castle dialect, please take a look." ”
"Bring it." Saito Michizo came back to his senses, snatched the envelope that Chiyo had just taken out of his arms and still had body temperature and fragrance, and quickly opened it, only to see that it was written.
'To my dearest old man Michizo Saito, I have conquered your goddaughter, and now I am ready to come and collect your land, the price is negotiable at Zhengdeji Temple, please be sure to arrive on time, otherwise you will bear the consequences, two hours after you touch this letter, I will wait until noon at most, Goodbye. ’
Michizo Saito: ......
The moment he saw the contents of this letter, Michizo Saito, who was still confused before, was now almost broken down.
What the hell is this, could it be that the other party is a monkey hired by Shinna recently.
Seeing the other party's rare strange expression, Isuzu Chiyo asked in a curious whisper, "Is there anything strange in the letter?" ”
In order to prevent Saito Michizo from suspecting or causing any accidents, Isuzu Chiyo did not dare to open the letter on the way.
"Strange stuff?"
Isuzu Chiyo's question made Saito Michizo suddenly laugh, he smiled and crumpled the letter paper in his hand, held it tightly in his hand, and said in a condensed voice: "It's not just strange, it's just funny, how long has it been, someone actually dared to threaten me, I didn't expect this Warring States to have such an interesting guy in addition to Shinna, no wonder this guy can defeat Shinna." ”
Isuzu Chiyo didn't know what to do, but he had to ask, "The three great people of the Dao, what are you going to do about the Imagawa family's declaration of war?" ”
Saito Michizo touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, smiled again, and said, "Prepare the horse, the old man decided to meet the future 'son-in-law' first, what kind of power does he have to reach the sky." ”
"Huh? Son-in-law? Are the three Michi people going to ride their horses directly to Owari Nakono Castle? Isuzu Chiyo's expression became even more curious, what exactly was written on the letter that Fang Yan gave him, it was not a wise choice to make this vicious snake with a ruthless old snake smile and obediently obey, and go deep into the belly of the enemy.
"No, it's Zhengde Temple!" Michizo Saito hooked the corners of his mouth, looking very satisfied, since becoming a Mino daimyo, how long has this expression and mood not appeared.
"Is it actually Zhengde Temple?!" Isuzu Chiyo's eyes widened, and her stunned expression was extremely cute.
Shotokuji Temple is the place where Oda Shinna and Mino pit vipers first confronted and established an alliance, and in that place, Oda Shinna showed an amazing side, and even Saito Michizo was surprised, so he recognized the other party, and this time it was actually a dialect that was to be recognized.
"Yes, it's actually Zhengde Temple again, I hope this time, I can get a more satisfactory answer." Saito Michi's eyes lit up, muttered to himself, and staggered down the stairs of the Inabayama Castle Tower.
……
"The whole army, march to Minong!" At the same time that Fang Yan announced his march to Mino, his soldiers and horses did not make any movement, and they still trained and farmed.
And the Imagawa family, Imagawa Yoshimoto's side is also preparing for the trip to Shangluo in a hurry, and I don't know if it is to show off their strong military strength, 20,000 troops put out a long dragon array, this formation has just arrived in Suemori City, it is terrifyingly slow, even if there is no obstacle, to reach Kyoto, it will take at least nearly a month, and it only takes fifteen days on weekdays.
Finally got rid of complicated things, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who mastered Owari step by step, already has the potential of a person in the world, not only his status as a Sengoku daimyo has been improved, but even his vision has been greatly expanded, and the whole person begins to exude dazzling light, which is more noble than the ordinary lady, and there is a pride that makes it difficult to look away from his hands and feet. "Report, Yoshimoto-sama, the messenger of the dialect-sama has come to visit." The respectful voices of Yoshimoto's subordinates spread through the room.
"Oh? Is it finally here, let him in. Yiyuan nodded and said.
"Yes!"
Soon, the petite figure of Goemon appeared in front of Yoshimoto.
"Lord Yoshimoto, I am a subordinate of Lord Dialect, and I have come to report to you about the declaration of war on Minon." Goemon stammered, looking very nervous, but this kind of performance is not surprising, the person in front of him is the shogun in the near future, and his status is terrifying.
"Aren't you that little ninja next to Fang Yan? He didn't declare war on Mino recently, he should need you very much at this time, why did you come here......"
Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned, and said again: "Forget it, let's solve it quickly, what is the matter with that guy asking you to come to me?" It's not going to ask you to come to me to borrow soldiers, is it? It's impossible to send troops to help him, and it's not something anyone can do to declare war in my name, and that guy has to suffer a little. ”
"No, you misunderstood, Lord Yoshimoto, Lord Fang Yan asked me to tell you about the attack on Mino and the next plan, not to borrow troops from you." Goemon shook his head strangely and replied.
"Not a borrowed soldier? I don't remember when Kawanami was strong enough to capture Mino, or did that guy have some strange plan to capture all the veterans such as Saito's old guy and Mino's three people alive? Imagawa Yoshimoto said curiously.
"Yes, Lord Fang said that it only takes one day to take down Minono, so don't worry about him, please concentrate on Shangluo." Goemon said so.
"Take Mino in one day?" Imagawa Yoshimoto's pupils shrank slightly, but after a while, he took it for granted, and asked with interest: "Interesting, let's say, what does that guy want to say." ”
"Lord Fang Yan has only one request, that is, to let you add Luo's pace to prevent accidents, when you pass through Mino, you can easily pocket Mino and use the dowry he offers you one by one, presumably the power of the country and the daimyo will become stronger because of this, and your trip to Shangluo will also become a good story five hundred years later."
"What... Trousseau? Did that guy really say that? Imagawa Yoshimoto's face turned red again, as if he had seen the guy's hippie smiling face.
"Yes!" Goemon hurriedly lowered his head, with some pity and sympathy in his heart, the reason why Lord Yoshimoto can have this kind of expression is that he still doesn't know the specific plan of the dialect, so it seems that Lord Yoshimoto, who is kept in the dark, is quite pitiful, and the man he likes is going to cheat openly and stupidly, I really want to remind the other party a little.
But for the sake of the world, this is also a matter of no way, after all, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and I believe that Lord Yiyuan will definitely understand the dialect clan.
"Hmph, it's the monkey's style." Imagawa Yoshimoto opened the folding fan to cover his slightly hot face to prevent him from losing his temper in front of his subordinates, and then asked, "What about the specific plan?" ”
"Since I don't participate in this battle, I don't know, and Lord Dialect didn't ask me to convey it to you, but just asked you to speed up your progress." Goemon shook his head and said.
"Hmph, I know, just let that guy do it, just don't die." Imagawa Yoshimoto snorted dissatisfied.
"I see." Goemon nodded slightly, and the next moment he disappeared from the room in a black shadow.
