Imai Nobumoto glanced at Iitomi Huchang in surprise, and the latter also nodded slightly, indicating that what Jingzhen said was true, so that he couldn't help but look at Jingzhen carefully.

"Isn't there anyone in the Takeda clan, how to make a yellow-mouthed child a messenger?"

Jingzhen was not annoyed, and said with a smile:

"I, the Takeda clan, are guarded by Kai, and the talents of a country are innumerable, so they can only be ranked. For example, the one who is superior in talent should be sent to a strong country, a large clan, or a friendly nation, and a person who is humble and knowledgeable is to be sent to a weak country, a small clan, or an enemy. Counting the envoys in the family, only the lowest status and the worst learning, the special order came to His Royal Highness Xinyuan. ”

"As for the young assistant of the military department (Iitomi Huchang), it is a companion who visits His Royal Highness Xinyuan, and with the last friendship, it has nothing to do with the envoy under him."

"Hmph, boy, you have sharp teeth, and tell me your truth!"

"I can't talk about the reason, but I have some feelings about following Dr. Zuojing to conquer this place."

"When you come here, the regulations are different in various parts of this Nakao Castle, and the stones used are even more obviously different, so it should be the result of several generations of construction by the Imai family, right?"

"Not bad" Listening to what Jingzhen said, Imai Nobumoto's mood became even more depressed, and he responded sullenly.

Seeing that Imai Nobumoto was depressed, Jingzhen continued to put on a reason to suppress his fighting spirit, and said:

"There is a cloud in "Mencius", 'the city is not high, the pool is not deep, the rice is not much, and the place is not as good as the people', which is exactly the current situation. His Royal Highness Xinyuan has been operating for several generations, and it can be said that he has taken advantage of the location, but it is difficult to hold on for even three days, why not? Lost to people and also! ”

"Below His Royal Highness Confident Yuan, everyone in the city has lived in Jiafei for generations, and the tombs of the ancestors Kundi are also in Jiafei. And last year, His Royal Highness betrayed his local interests with his own selfish interests, opened the door to thieves, and colluded with Shinano's foreign enemies, and he has lost the hearts of the local people. How can you still hold on? ”

"And the husband of the former letter rope Gong (Takeda Xinsheng, the former Kai guardian, the father of Takeda Xinhu) died suddenly, and external and internal troubles arose, but the owner of the museum (Takeda Xinhu) worked hard for his father and ancestor Yu Lie, and fought in the south and north to fight and whip the world. In the past ten years, the territory has been peaceful, the people are healthy, and he has become the indisputable lord of Kai and the king of all people. ”

"His Royal Highness Xinyuan only talked about the old things of His Royal Highness Oi, His Highness Cave Mountain, and Lord Shaofu of the Military Department. In the next opinion, although His Royal Highness Oi and His Royal Highness Cave Mountain were unreasonable and obsessed, they finally confronted each other head-to-head and fell on the battlefield, and they were also recognized by the owner of the museum and buried in peace; The young assistant of the military department has changed his mind and changed his face, and he has been entrusted with a heavy task. ”

"Only His Royal Highness Nobumoto, relying on the sacrifices of His Highness Oi and His Highness Cave Mountain, was able to escape from the battlefield alone, and relied on the young assistant of the military department to remember the feelings of comrades-in-arms that he had a chance to live. It's really disgusting to pretend to be righteous and unwilling to die, even though he doesn't dare to die, and he doesn't want to surrender! ”

"You stinky boy, how dare you talk to me like this, it's really presumptuous!"

Seeing that Imai Nobumoto was uncovered with his inner scars, his emotions almost collapsed under repeated suppression, and Jingzhen also turned from rigid to soft, and continued in a slow tone.

"But ah, His Royal Highness Xinyuan was originally a hero who was brave and brave in the three armies, and only came out of the world, why did he become a captive who heard Mingdi and fought together?"

"In my opinion, it's not for him, it's just because His Royal Highness Xinyuan can't judge himself internally, and he is rumored and obsessed with it, so that's it."

"However, the hall master cherishes the life of a city, and cherishes the talents of His Royal Highness Shinmoto. is willing to forgive sins and blame, abandon flaws and hire, and follow the example of the past'Zhu Kun is involved in blood and friends, and the Han lord does not doubt it; Zhang Xiu slashed at his beloved son, and Wei Jun treated him as before' (Note 1), and then gave His Highness a chance. ”

"Now His Royal Highness does not cut the pines and cypresses, his relatives live in peace, the high platform is not tilted, and the concubine is still there (Note 2), and it has not yet reached an uncontrollable situation. It's better to take a good look at the young assistant of the military department, encounter the master, make meritorious deeds, praise the strategy, and serve the task of the frontier, rather than be happy! ”

"Winter is going to spring, and it's time to sow seeds again. His Royal Highness Xinyuan has lived for himself all his life, abandoning his fellow villagers and clans, and letting them be poor and displaced with you; Can we now plan to return to the north and face north, so that they can farm with peace of mind and have a good harvest in the year? ”

During Jingzhen's words, Imai Nobumoto had regained his composure, and when he finished listening to the last sentence. He took a deep breath, as if he was much more relaxed, and then walked in front of Jingzhen and Fan Fu Huchang, and bowed down respectfully:

"Alas, I can see that His Royal Highness Jingzhen is obviously the number one lobbyist under the command of Dr. Zuojing. To be able to lobby in person with such a great talent, I feel honored in the future, and it is not a humiliation to surrender here. ”

"Then, everything is up to the two highnesses."

"We should do our best!"

Under the mediation of Keizhen and Iitomi Toramasa, Imai Nobumoto finally chose to surrender in Kaejo, and Takeda Nobuta was overjoyed to follow the previous agreement, only confiscating the Imai clan and ordering him to move to the Kusakikan to live in a centralized manner, and then re-grant the territory after he made meritorious deeds. The head snake of a county that had plagued Takeda Shinhu for ten years officially died out.

When the goal of this battle is achieved, the next step is to discuss merit and reward. Dividing Suwa reinforcements, persuading Imai Nobumoto and other several skills, Jingzhen undoubtedly got a lot of work, got the first feeling in his life, just like the first little red flower in kindergarten, the mood is quite wonderful.

Meritorious service is just a formality, and reward is the real meat. The generals and wealthy families who had nothing to do and were drowsy for the past few days all cheered up, staring closely at Takeda Nobuta, who was sitting on the main seat, and Itagaki Nobukata, who was reading the imperial decree on the side, hoping that they would get a share of the cake vacated by the Imai clan.

Kai consists of four counties with a total stone height of 220,000 stones, and Jumo County is the largest county among them, with nearly 100,000 stones, which is almost equivalent to the sum of the remaining three counties. The current Jing clan has been entrenched in Zhongjumo County for decades, and there are as many as 20,000 koku including the ancestral Anduan and self-reclaimed land, which is also the capital that dares to fight against the Takeda clan all year round.

"The order of the master of the hall, His Royal Highness Anayama Izu Shou (Anayama Shinyu), seal 15,000 stone in Zhongjumo County, and please work hard to dedicate loyalty to your family!"

"Yes, the Cave Mountain Clan will do their best to be loyal!"

Not surprisingly, the largest piece of cake was taken by the Anayama clan, another powerful clan near the Imai clan. As a powerful countryman who has been entrenched in the Hanoi area of Nanjumo County for generations, the Anayama clan and the Takeda clan are from the same family, and their ancestor Anayama Yoshitake is the younger brother of Takeda Shintake, and the Anayama clan after Yoshitake has welcomed men from the Takeda family as adopted heirs.

But the bloodline can not be used as a guarantee of loyalty, over the years, the Anayama clan has been sandwiched between Imagawa and Takeda repeatedly sideways, the former head of the family Anayama Trade Wind is particularly prominent, he was at first under the control of the Imagawa clan, and then was transferred by Takeda Nobuto, and finally played with Imai Nobumoto, and jointly set off the "Xianglu Kingdom Rebellion". But this old brother was not as lucky as Imai Nobumoto, and died directly in the battle between the two armies last year, and his son Anayama Nobuyari inherited the family governor, adhering to the principle of "joining if you can't fight", and actively approached the killer of his father's enemy, Takeda Shintora, and married Takeda Shintora's daughter Nanmatsuin Temple.

In order to reward the good son-in-law for getting closer, and in order to enhance the strength of the Anayama clan in advance and strengthen its heart to resist the Imagawa clan, no matter how painful Takeda Shintora is, he has to give up the biggest gain in this battle. It's so hard to be the lord of the country!

"The Lord of the Pavilion ordered, Southern Zhou defended His Royal Highness (Southern Guanghu), sealed the three thousand stones of Zhongju Mo County, and please work hard to dedicate loyalty to the family!"

"Thank you very much!"

The second piece of cake unsurprisingly fell into the hands of the representative of the local forces in Zhongju Mojun, the southern clan of Bomujing. The Namui Nanbu clan, like the Oushu Nanbu clan (i.e., the southern family in the northern part of Shinno), originated from the branch of the Kai Takeda clan, and was derived from the Miaozi Nanbu clan because the fifth grandson of the ancestor Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu ------ the third son of Enmitsu, Mitsuyuki, lived in the southern part of Kokai Province's southern Jumo County. Later, one of them was given to the five counties of the northern chaff of Mutsu for his military exploits and moved to Oshu, while the other line stayed in the ancestral land of Minamijumo County for generations.

In order to appease the local forces, Takeda Nobuta had no choice but to pull out the general among the short men, and gave the second largest cake to his own distant relatives who were relatively close and loyal.

"The master of the hall ordered that Nizi Jingzhen, since joining the family, he first had the merit of dedication and outstanding performance in this battle, so he was promoted to the general of the service, and he was awarded two thousand stones in Jumo County!"

"His Royal Highness Jingzhen, come up and get the security block, please continue to serve wholeheartedly in the future!"

"Ah, that's two thousand stones? Although Takeda Shintora, no, the owner of the pavilion is irritable and difficult to serve, but he gives too much! ”

"Also, what should the lord do, wait online, hurry!"
