"Master Sanlang, are you joking with me again? This box is obviously empty!"
After saying this, Mitamura Tamasa half-squinted his eyes and looked at Master Saburo with a slightly different look. In Mitamura Tadamasa's view, at this juncture Master Saburo personally came to Mitamura City to ask for a meeting with him, just for one thing, that is, the war in Uesaka City.
Kyogoku Takahiro and Asai Ryomasa were defeated in the battle, and Uesaka Castle was trapped. Among the nearby wealthy families, only the Mitamura family is the most suitable in terms of distance and strength, which means Master Saburo is here to ask for help.
This is intriguing.
The most important thing is that the gift box given by Master Saburo is empty, which seems a bit rude. This is what makes Mitamura Tamasa unhappy.
From the first time he heard that Master Saburo was coming in person, Mitamura Tamasa had roughly "guessed" Master Saburo's intention. Letting Master Saburo in was also out of Mitamura Tamasa's selfish motives, because he wanted to see what kind of conditions the Kyogoku family was willing to give in order to persuade him to send troops.
However, Mitamura Tamasa miscalculated.
Master Saburo did come to ask the Mitamura family to send troops, but he did not intend to give Mitamura Tadamasa any benefits. After all, the Kyogoku family was already extremely poor. Except for a nominal guardian of Kitaomi, there was nothing at all that could Impressed Mitamura Tamasa.
Therefore, we can only find another way.
"Does the Mitamura Palace know the origin of this box?" Master Saburo looked at Mitamura Tamasa with a calm face and pointed at the box that Mitamura Tamasa placed on the ground.
Mitamura Tadamasa picked up the box again suspiciously, looked at it carefully for a long time and then shook his head, "Isn't this just an ordinary box? If there is anything special about it, this box seems to be used to store letters."
"But what's the point? Boxes like this can be found everywhere. Could it be that the gift Master Saburo wants to give you is something like this?" At this point, Mitamura Tamasa couldn't help but feel insulted.
Master Sanlang waved his hand and motioned for Mitamura Tadamasa to listen, "Yes, this is indeed a box used to hold letters."
"But before I came here, I accidentally dropped the letter inside somewhere. Now that I think about it, it seems that I dropped it somewhere on the south bank of the Anesawa River when I was crossing the Anesawa River."
"As for the content of the letter, Mita Murato should be very clear. This is an oath of allegiance to the family by Mita Murato. The general content seems to be that Mita Murato promised to send troops to raid when the war between the family and Asai Ryomasa is stalemate. Asai Ryomasa’s main formation.”
"I am really moved by this. The loyalty of Santian Village Palace is astonishing!" Master Sanlang said with admiration.
"Touch!" However, as soon as Master Sanlang finished speaking, Mitamura Tamasa stood up from the ground with an angry face and yelled, "Yellow-mouthed kid, how dare you bully me like this!"
"Do you think this will allow me to send troops? That's ridiculous!" Mitamura Tamasa said with an uncertain face.
Master Saburo looked like he was convinced of you, and said slowly, "Why should Mita Murato deceive himself? If Mita Murato was determined to fall to the Asai family, he should have followed Asai Ryomasa long ago."
"When I came down again, I saw farmers and soldiers everywhere in Santian Village. It was obvious that Santian Village Palace had already mobilized them. As for what purpose they had, I don't need to say more."
"Asai Ryomasa's main formation is on the south bank of Anegawa. There are no more than 500 troops guarding this formation, and the rest of the troops are near Uesaka Castle."
"As long as the Mitamura Palace is willing to join me in a surprise attack on the Asai family's main formation, we will definitely win in one battle. After the war, we will return all the territory that the Asai family occupied before the Mitamura family, and personally submit a memorial to the Mitamura Palace. Please invite six officials from , how about it?" Master Sanlang was acting with emotion and reason.
Mitamura Tadamasa is still hesitant. Although Master Saburo's conditions are full of temptation, it is not enough for Mitamura Tadamasa and Asai Ryomasa to completely quarrel. After all, if they fail, the Mitamura family will be completely ruined.
Master Sanlang obviously thought of this, so he continued, "Actually, the moment I appeared in Mita Village City, Mita Village Hall had no other choice."
"If the Mitamura Palace has not decided to join our side to fight against Asai Ryomasa within an hour, then I will arrange for people near the Asai family's main formation to deliver an internal communication letter with the Mitamura family's and my family's monograms to Ryo Asai. In the hands of politics."
"With Asai Ryomasa's paranoia and the various anomalies in Mitamura City, I believe Asai Ryomasa will not mind taking advantage of the situation to capture Mitamura City as well. Are you right about Mitamura Palace?" Master Saburo said with a smile.
Mitamura Tadamasa was completely convinced, because everything Master Saburo said hit the key points of the Mitamura family.
In the final analysis, it was Mitamura Tamasa who wanted to die himself. Instead of sending troops to join the war, he mobilized troops in the rear to prepare for trouble. As for the "internal communications" mentioned by Master Saburo, Mitamura Tadamasa was extremely pained, because whether Asai Ryomasa believed it or not, this was a piece of information about the Mitamura family that fell into the hands of the Asai family.
Asai Ryomasa has long coveted the Mitamura family's territory. He had to accept the surrender of the Mitamura family for various reasons before, but even so, he also took part of the Mitamura family's territory.
And once Asai Ryomasa finds an excuse, the Mitamura family will once again face the threat of Asai Ryomasa. The internal communication letter mentioned by Master Saburo happens to be an excellent excuse.
This is where Mitamura Tadamasa is really threatened.
"This trick is really a poisonous trick. I am very curious. Who in the Kyogoku family can come up with such a trick?" Mitamura Tadamasa has decided to give in, promising that Master Saburo can still gain a chance of survival, but following Asai Ryomasa will lead to death. .
Master Saburo smiled, "The clumsy plan is indeed a bit disrespectful, but in order to rescue my father who is trapped in Uesaka City, Master Saburo has no choice but to make this move!"
"I didn't expect it to be Master Saburo's strategy. It's really surprising!" Mitamura Tadamasa was not being polite, but he was really surprised, because Master Saburo was only in his teens, and such a strategy was unlikely even for an adult. Think about it.
When he thought that he had capsized in such a "gutter", Mitamura Tamasa even had the illusion that he was old for a moment.
"I have to say that Saburo Master Hall has successfully convinced me! For the sake of justice, please let me, the Mitamura family, contribute to Kyogoku Hall!" Mitamura Tadayama suddenly said with a serious face.
Master Sanlang also quickly returned the greeting and said, "Thank you Mita Village Hall for your understanding of the righteousness of the matter. Please do so!"
"Ha~ha!"
"Don't tell Lieutenant Heaiemon (Satamura Sadayori) about this matter yet, prepare the troops in the city, and follow our family to the battle in a quarter of an hour!" Mitamura Tamasa said to Mitamura Naomasa beside him.
"ha!"
