Ise Province, Koba Castle.

Takahashi Heimori led dozens of samurai to inspect the city walls. He was twenty-eight years old, but he looked to be forty years old. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of beard, slightly short stature.

After inspecting the city walls, Takahashi Heimori came to a house, asked the little surname to take the wine and food, and began to drink alcohol.

Although Xiaoye City did not face the Han army, it belonged to the front line. He hoarded a lot of grain and grass, and some of the Daimyo's army to help him defend himself.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.

There is no need for expenditure without war. His territory is only 120,000 stones, and the annual tax revenue is limited, and now it is like opening a big hole, constantly consuming money and food.

Moreover, Li Tianbao's navy Wanhu also attacked his territory in the southeast.

I can't live this day.

"Damn. Where is this war? It's clearly a loser. It's all my money. Takahashi Heimori thought of the sadness, picked up the wine urn, and gulped down. The spilled wine soaked his collar.

At this moment, a young man walked in from outside, knelt on one knee on the right side of Takahashi Heimori, and said in his ear, "My lord." Someone claiming to be Hidemori Hasegawa asked to see him. Say it's your relative. ”

Takahashi raised his eyebrows, put the wine urn aside, and showed a solemn look on his face. After bowing his head and muttering for a while, he looked up and said to the little surname, "Bring people in." ”

"Yes."

The little surname answered, turned around and went down.

"Hidemori Hasegawa. This guy has been dead for more than ten years. And I slaughtered it with my own hands. There are very few people who know about this. Takahashi Heimori stretched out his right hand and grabbed the wakasha around his waist.

After a while, the Hojo clan calmly entered the room under the guidance of a small surname.

He shaved his head again, put on a kimono, and wore a wakicha around his waist.

Kosa bowed to Takahashi Heimoriichi, then exited the room and closed the sliding door.

Without waiting for Takahashi Heimori to speak, Hojo Clan Masato smiled and said, "Heisheng-sama." I'm Shimasa. ”

Takahashi Heisheng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he stood up in shock. He hadn't seen the Hojo clan for more than ten years.

Although the Hojo family has perished, the influence still exists.

Perhaps in order to enhance the influence of the Han Dynasty in Fuso, Wu Nian made public the fact that the Hojo clan served the Han Dynasty.

But he never thought that the Hojo clan would appear in front of him in such a way.

Soon, Takahashi Heimori calmed down and did not call anyone. Just waved his hand and said, "Come and sit." ”

"Yes." The Hojo clan was sure in his heart, and after answering, he came to Takahashi Heimori and knelt down.

"Although I am a relative. But the Toyotomi family is by my side, and there are still spies installed in it. Speak quietly. Takahashi Heimori whispered, and then asked, "Masamai-sama." How are you going to convince me? ”

Things are moving in a good direction.

But Hojo is also well aware that the key is the result.

The Hojo clan said with a calm smile: "As a relative, Lord Heisheng only has a territory of 120,000 stones. There are also spies of the Toyotomi family by his side. It's really sad. ”

Takahashi Heimori did not speak, whether it was an external daimyo, a pedigree dai daimyo, or a pro-feudal daimyo, it was a routine operation for the shogunate to send secret agents to the daimyo.

The difference is only in the intensity of the surveillance.

The Toyotomi family was not directed at him. But the territory of 120,000 stones pierced his heart.

It's too small.

Hojo continued, "King Han asked me to bring a thousand taels of gold as a greeting gift. If Lord Pingsheng acted according to the orders of King Han, he could also have nine thousand taels of gold. ”

"Also. The king of Han gave the county marquis a seal, a golden book, and an official uniform. Now it's all outside the city. ”

"The titles of the Han Dynasty, from top to bottom, are Guogong, County Duke, County Marquis, and County Marquis. The county marquis is the fourth class. General Lu Liuliang is still only a county uncle, and he belongs to the fifth class. ”

Takahashi Heisheng didn't know much about the titles of the Han Dynasty, and when he heard that the county marquis was only the fourth class, he wanted to open his mouth to mock, but when he heard that the general Lu Liuliang was a county uncle, he couldn't help but close his mouth.

And. 10,000 taels of gold.

That's an astronomical amount.

When he heard this amount, his breathing immediately became uncontrollably rapid, and his face turned red.

Hojo Masa smiled at Takahashi Heimori, for the insatiable, ten thousand taels of gold is a deadly poison.

It's almost over, but you still have to work harder. Hojo Clan Masai smiled again and whispered, "In Fuso." Under the Toyotomi shogunate. Heimori-sama is under the watchful eye of secret agents. ”

"In the Han Dynasty. The king of Han will not send people to spy on generals and ministers. ”

"Besides. Now the Han king occupies half of Fusang. With this half of the country's national strength, it can be on an equal footing with Toyotomi Daikichi. ”

"What's more, the King of Han still has Goguryeo and Liaodong lands. Toyotomi Daji, why fight with the King of Han? ”

"If Heisheng-sama, you continue to follow Toyotomi Daikichi and become an enemy of King Han. It is indispensable to end up with seppuku. ”

"That being the case. Why not accept the kindness of King Han. After taking these 10,000 taels of gold, what about the county marquis? ”

Takahashi Heimori glanced up at the Hojo clan and admitted that this guy's tone was like a beautiful voice that seduced him to commit a crime, full of seduction.

But the moisture is huge.

Purely from the perspective of national strength, the Toyotomi family is at an absolute disadvantage.

But the problem is that Goguryeo and Liaodong are on the other side of the sea, so they can definitely support, but the extent of support is a question.

At present, Wu Nian and Toyotomi Daikichi are still evenly matched in Fuso.

Wu Nian wants to win, it's not so easy.

But Wu Nian is indeed an advantage, and it is ten thousand taels of gold. County Marquis. After thinking for a while, Takahashi Heimori asked in a low voice, "Can my territory be kept?" ”

For a samurai, nothing is more important than the door.

For the Daimyo, there is nothing more important than territory.

If Wu Nian can keep the territory of the daimyos, Takahashi Heimori believes that there will be more daimyo who are willing to surrender to Wu Nian.

"Nope." The Hojo clan shook his head, raised his head, puffed up his chest, and said to Takahashi Heimori categorically: "Heisheng-sama." The rule of the Takemen in Fuso ended. ”

"The goal of the Han king was to integrate Fusang, Goguryeo, and Liaodong into one great power. The court rules everything. ”

"The territories of the daimyo, all of them are deprived."

Takahashi Heimori fell silent, and Hojo's words shattered his hopes. But at the same time, it also adds credibility to the words.

10,000 taels of gold, county marquis.

Will Wu Nian's promise be fulfilled after the war?

Territorial matters. Hojo Masa could have deceived him, but he refused categorically.

Proof of Wu Nian's commitment is a promise of a thousand gold.

"Masasama. You are also a martial artist. The Hojo family is a famous family among famous families, and a daimyo among daimyos. Don't you want to go back to the territory? ”

Takahashi asked.

Hojo replied with a smile, "If you can." I also want to revive the Hojo family and restore the old territory. But that's not possible. ”

"Just ask Fusang, who can resist the King of Han?"

"Since you can't resist it. Then why not obey the will of the king of Han? ”
