Matsunaga Nagayori and Hatayama Nobubu came to Xinzhuang City on the orders of Kyoto High Lord.
The purpose of the two people's trip is very simple, that is to anger Takashima Takamochi and let him continue to use troops against the new dealers.
The new banker has a new defeat, and Ashigaru does not have much morale and fighting power. Kyogoku Takamasa knew very well that with the help of the new banker and himself, it was not impossible to stop Tanaya Akimasa, but it was too difficult.
The only way is to beat the Takashima family and let them continue to march north, making the muddy waters of Takashima County as chaotic as possible. It would be best to let the Takashima family and the Tagaya family fight, so that Kyogoku Takamasa can fish in troubled waters.
Kyogoku Takamasa and others entered Takashima County secretly this time. Except for a few people in the new village, no one else knew about it at all. The apparent strength of the new banker family is only three to four hundred old and weak soldiers, and they pose no threat to either the Takashima family or the Takaya family.
Under such circumstances, it is easy to be ignored by the enemy.
And once the Takashima family and the Tagaya family start fighting, Kyogoku Takamasa himself can serve as a surprise force. This is what the saying goes that a gentleman hides his weapons in his body and waits for the time to move.
Nowadays, the Kyogoku family's reputation in Omi is deteriorating. It is slightly better in Sakata County and other areas east of Omi, but it is a joke in the west area of Omi. Therefore, any wealthy people with a little bit of strength want to challenge the authority of the Kyogoku family.
Therefore, Kyogoku Takashimasa asked Hatayama Chonobu and two others to go to Xinzhuang Castle as envoys of the Kyogoku family. While "reprimanding" Takashima Takamochi for sending troops wantonly, they also "tried their best" to mediate the war in Takashima County.
It is conceivable that even if Takashima Takamochi did not have this idea at first, he would probably change his mind after being lobbied by Hatayama Chonobu.
The most important thing is that among the people sent by Kyogoku Takamasa there is such a funny figure as Matsunaga Nagayori.
"How presumptuous! Who are you, a dog-like thing, how dare you humiliate my lord like this!" Seeing Matsunaga Nagayori start to curse, Takashima Takano who was standing beside him couldn't sit still anymore, jumped out and began to spray.
"Asshole, I am the envoy of the Kyogoku family. Are you trying to despise the authority of the Kyogoku family by saying this!"
"Hmph! The Kyogoku family is about to be driven out of Omi by the Asai family. Do you still think this was decades ago? Let alone you, what if Kyogoku Takahiro is standing here?" After listening to Matsunaga According to Lai's words, instead of worrying, Takashima Takano became even more unscrupulous.
Hearing this, Takashima Gaochi also frowned, feeling unhappy.
No matter what, the Kyogoku family is still the head of the Takashima family. It is indeed a bit unpleasant for his son to humiliate his "lord" like this. Of course, this feeling only lasted for a second, because many times Takashima Takamochi actually thought so in his heart, but today Takashima Takanochi said it for him.
"I have already said that the Asai family of the Shinjo family intends to rebel, and I am sending troops to suppress the rebellion for the Kyogoku family! If your envoy cannot do it, then forget it, that is the fact anyway."
"If there is nothing else, please come back, please!" After saying that, Takashima Gaochi put on a posture of seeing off guests.
Hatayama Asanobu grabbed Matsunaga Nagayori who was about to go berserk, and then said calmly, "Since Echu Shoden insists on doing this, I can only report back to the Lord truthfully. I just hope that Echu Shoden will not regret it in the future!" "
"Jinsuke, let's go!"
"No!"
"Hahahaha! Lord Hatayama, let's see how you perform. Have you reached the level of the movie star that my lord said?" Except for Xinzhuang City, Matsunaga Nagayori couldn't help it and immediately laughed loudly.
Hatayama Chaoxin also laughed twice, then put his arm around Matsunaga Nagayori's shoulders and said with a smile, "Ms. Matsunaga stole the show just now. I was really frightened on the side, fearing that the Takashima family couldn't help but rush up. "
"What are you afraid of if I'm blocking you?"
"I have just counted, and there are only Takashima Takamochi and his son in the hall. If you hadn't held me back, I would have just gone up and chopped these two bastards over!" Matsunaga Nagarai raised his fist and turned the page. He rolled his eyes.
Hatayama covered his head and said helplessly, "Lord Matsunaga, there were several Takashima family members approaching the entrance of the hall just now, and there were people behind the screens on both sides of the hall. If nothing else, let's talk about Takashima Takamochi. There are also several close men hiding behind the scenes, so it’s not easy for just the two of us to kill Takashima Takamochi and his son!"
Hatayama Asanobu seemed to know the reason why Kyogoku Takamasa asked him to come with Matsunaga Nagayori. Matsunaga Nagayori was naturally very good at irritating the Takashima family. He just acted in the castle by himself. I'm just afraid that Matsunaga Nagayori will be impulsive and really go up to kill Takashima Takamochi. I'm afraid he will lose his life when the time comes, which would be more than worth the gain.
"Um, are there so many people in the hall? Why didn't I see it?" Matsunaga Nagayori looked at Hatayama and asked for the letter with an expression like "I don't study well, don't lie to me."
"Nonsense, when our lord is meeting guests, we are also ambushing around."
"So that's it. Then don't I have to thank Mr. Hatayama for saving my life? Well, I have a girl named Ah Rong. Well, you should know her. How about you, how about you be my brother-in-law?"
Hatayama Morning Letter ""
Kumagawa Township is a remote territory in the southeastern part of Wakasa Country. It is located in the middle of the Senshi Mountains and the Sanjukan Mountains. If it were not connected to Omi in the south, it could almost be said to be isolated from the world.
It took nearly two hours for Yamazaki Hiroyie, Matsunagahide and others to arrive here. Before Yamazaki Hiroshi and others could take a breath, they found themselves surrounded.
"Master Zuohei, are these bandits?"
"Why don't they have knives?"
"There are so many of them. It would be great if Shisuke was here."
"How about it? Can you run away?"
Looking at the dozen or so people who suddenly rushed out to surround him, and feeling the cannibalistic eyes of these people, Matsuzaki Nagahide leaned against Yamazaki Hiroshi with his legs trembling.
"Lord Matsunaga, calm down, now is not the time to show weakness!" Hirotaka Yamazaki glared at a bandit with a sword in his hand, and then scolded him in a low voice.
Matsunaga managed to stand up straight, but he could not pull out the sword from his waist. Seeing this, Matsunaga almost cried.
"I don't know if this Yamazaki Hiroshi is reliable or not. What if he can't defeat these people? I still have some belongings on me, but I hope these people are just asking for money! After all, I have lost a lot now, and my lord's mission has not been completed. If I didn’t say anything, my wife would have to pay for it.”
"Jinsuke, where are you? Come and save me!" At this moment, Matsunaga Nagahide suddenly felt that in the face of such a situation, only Matsunaga Nagayori could give him a sense of security. Because the Yamazaki Hiroyuki next to him didn't look like a fierce man who could fight dozens of people at a time.
Matsunaga's intuition proved to be correct.
In just the blink of an eye, Yamazaki Hiroyuki was thrown to the ground by seven or eight bandits before he even had time to swing his sword. At this moment, the remaining bandits were approaching Matsu Nagahide with green eyes glowing.
"Please forgive me, I still have some money here. For the sake of money, please let me wait!" Matsuzuki Nagahide quickly took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, so fast that even the bandits in front of him were stunned. They were all dazzled and froze on the spot.
At this time, as long as Matsunaga Hide is willing to draw his sword, he might be able to kill two or three people directly.
But this is obviously impossible. First, he doesn't dare, but because he can't pull out the knife.
