"Your Excellency. www.biquge.info The shouts from outside the tent pulled Ao Xingfeng back from his contemplation.

"What's the matter?" Ao Xingfeng asked.

"Yoshifuko Ito, the head of the Ito family, would like to talk to you personally. ”

"Hmm, what trick does he want to play?" Ao Xingfeng thought to himself.

"Well, let him come to the big tent. ”

"Yes!" the footsteps grew farther and farther away.

After a while, the retainers of the Shimazu family gathered outside the big tent.

"Lord, don't go, it's the Longtan Tiger's Den. The retainers knelt down in front of Yoshisuke Ito and said.

Yoshisuke Ito glanced at the retainer who was prostrate in front of him, and his heart was irritated for no reason.

"My mind has been decided, and you should not persuade me. After Yoshisuke Ito finished speaking, he walked out of Honmaru single-handedly, and the retainers wanted to keep up, but they were stopped by Yoshisuke Ito's look.

Ito Yoshisuke thought a lot, if it were other daimyo who encountered the current situation, they might rather die than give in, right? But Ito Yoshisuke is different, he values his relatives more than all the Sengoku daimyos, so he does not hesitate to throw away the title of daimyo and give up the so-called honor, he does not want his wife and daughter to die for his own reasons, but he also does not want to wait for the Shimazu family's army to attack Honmaru to be the wrong person for his wife and daughter.

Maybe I'm really not the material for being a big name, Ito Yoshisuke shook his head and thought, with a wave of the horsewhip in his right hand, the pony under his crotch galloped out.

The soldiers of the Shimazu family hurriedly gave way, no matter what kind of disadvantage the Ito family fell into, being a daimyo was not something they could offend ashigaru.

After entering the Shimazu family's camp, Yoshisuke Ito jumped off the pony, and several Shimazu family retainers came over.

"Yoshifuko, please. The retainers said respectfully.

Ito Yoshisuke frowned slightly, does this Shimazu family still want to give himself a horse? Then he seemed to have figured out something, shook his head, and followed the Shimazu retainer into the big tent with a calm face.

"Yoshifu, don't come unharmed. Ao Xingfeng did not get up to greet him, and he did not have the slightest etiquette as a daimyo.

casually pointed to a place and said, "Yoshifuko, please take a seat first, right?"

Ito didn't say a word, and sat down on the improvised stool.

"Say, are you thinking about surrendering?" asked Ao Xingfeng, leaning back in his chair.

"You.... Alas... Yes, as long as the Lord is willing to promise me to protect my wife and daughter from unwarranted disasters in the future, I am willing to sacrifice Hyuga Castle. Yoshisuke Ito was angry for a while, and then gave up.

"It's a small matter, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will grant your request. Ao Xingfeng said.

Yoshisuke Ito glanced at Ao Xingfeng deeply, hoping that he was not looking at the wrong person, right?

"Please give me a little time, tomorrow morning, Hyuga Castle will be in the hands of your lords. Yoshisuke Ito stood up and bowed.

"Go, but you have to remember that you must not use this to delay time, or the day I break the city will be the time when Hyuga Castle slaughters the city. Ao Xingfeng said with a murderous aura, even Ito Yoshisuke, who lived in the Warring States Period, had never seen such a powerful killing intent, and his legs trembled a little for a while.

"Don't worry. Yoshisuke Ito bowed again and walked out of the tent.

After leaving the Shimazu station, Ito Yoshisuke was even more convinced of his decision, and only by personally facing Ao Xingfeng could he know that such a person was a fish in the pond? How could these daimyo be his opponents? At most, he could only be regarded as an ant standing in front of him, and Ito Yoshisuke believed that one day, the Shimazu family would compete with each other.

"Your Excellency, you're getting more and more hands-on. The adjutant complimented.

"The Ito family has surrendered, so what should we do next? Attack the Sagara family?" asked Ao Xingfeng.

"By all means, if you want to attack the Sagara family, please get rid of the other daimyo in Kyushu first, and finally deal with Sagara, of course, this is not because the Sagara family is difficult to deal with, but because the two are currently in an alliance, if you break the treaty between the two families so early and start a war, I'm afraid that the other daimyo in Kyushu will unite against you, so until then, I hope that the lord will maintain an image of a promise." The adjutant explained.

"Well, the next target after the Ito family is the Otomo family in Bungo Castle?" asked Ao Xingfeng.

"Yes, the Otomo family is a threat, and it must be strangled in the cradle, and it cannot be allowed to take the lead in trading with foreigners. The adjutant said.

"By the way, adjutant, do you think anyone of my subordinates can take my place?" Ao Xingfeng asked, he didn't know how long it would take for him to escort this time, so he hoped to find a commander to replace him temporarily.

"I haven't met such a talent yet, and adults can look for it in the jurisdiction. The adjutant replied.

Ao Xingfeng nodded, and had no choice but to do so.

Walking out of the big tent and seeing that all the retainers were gathered here, Ao Xingfeng asked.

"What are you doing here?"

"My lord, what did the head of the Ito family choose in the end?" asked a retainer on his knees.

"Surrender, but don't take this lightly, always pay attention to the situation in Hyuga Castle, and remember to inform me if there are characters coming and going. Ao Xingfeng said solemnly, even if he is completely dominant now, Ao Xingfeng has not forgotten that he is currently in the Warring States Period, and this kind of troubled times can't tell what kind of way your opponent will use to deal with you, so before the results come out, the changes are very big, and Ao Xingfeng doesn't want to capsize in this gutter.

"Yes!" replied the retainers.

Under the close watchful eye of the Shimazu family, Hyuga Castle ushered in the sunrise of the next day.

Ito Yoshisuke ordered the people to open the gates of Hyuga Castle, and Ao Xingfeng entered it with a group of troops.

"Well, you won't regret your choice. Ao Xingfeng said as he stood in front of Yoshisuke Ito.

The retainers of the Ito family turned their heads away, they would not admit such rudeness.

Under the leadership of Yoshisuke Ito, Ao Xingfeng and his retainers entered the museum, while the army repaired in the square outside the museum.

In the main hall of the Hyugakan, there is a pair of samurai armor, next to these samurai swords, some Japanese paintings are hung on the wall, and outside the door of the main hall is a rockery, and there is a clear spring flowing on the rockery, and the sound caused by adding water (a bamboo tube that is very common in Japanese dramas and Japanese comics) from time to time sounds very pleasant.

After admiring the surrounding scenery, Ao Xingfeng couldn't help but nodded, compared to Satsuma Castle and Osumi Castle, the pavilion of Hyuga Castle is much more beautiful, and this Yoshisuke Ito seems to be a person of taste.

"My lord, are you still satisfied?" asked Ito Yoshisuke as he followed behind Ao Xingfeng, as if Ao Xingfeng was the master of this place, and he, the original master, was like a servant. This is mainly due to the culture of advocating the strong in Japan.

"Pleasant environment, fresh air and very meaningful. Ao Xingfeng made a few simple comments, and Yoshisuke Ito nodded hurriedly behind him.

"I know you called me to give you an account, but what I want to tell you is that if I were like everyone else in this world, you would probably be the same fate. Ao Xingfeng entered the hall and sat on the floor, Ito Yoshisuke knelt in front of Ao Xingfeng, and the retainers waited outside the house.

"In the final analysis, they are all a group of people with very little energy, and the reason why they want to do that is nothing more than the fear that the original owner will do it behind their backs. Ao Xingfeng said lightly, and Ito Yoshisuke listened quietly and carefully like a student.

"But I'm different, if you are sincere and obedient to me, this Hyuga City is still your lord of the city, if you are not sincere, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to spend more effort, and settle accounts after the autumn. ”

"So what I'm going to say is, Yoshisuke Ito, would you like to call me my retainer and enjoy the glory of conquering Japan with me?" asked Ao Xingfeng with a squint.

At this time, Ito Yoshisuke hadn't reflected it, he didn't expect that in the end, he still underestimated this strange person (generally referring to strange people who are different from ordinary people), it turns out that when their group of daimyo was still busy expanding their territory or protecting their territory, people's hearts were already drifting away from conquering all of Japan, and their so-called ambition was simply a piece of shit.

The reason why Ao Xingfeng is willing to talk to Ito Yoshisuke like this is mainly because he asked the adjutant to check whether Ito Yoshisuke's heart is sincere and convinced, and the result is of course sincerely convinced, otherwise Ao Xingfeng would not have the idle time to say so many things to the dying person, mainly because Ao Xingfeng's own power is still too thin, and more people who have seen the world are needed to govern his territory.
