"Have Umayun forgotten the Ochi family? The mother of Tochi Omaru-dono is the princess of the Ochi family, and her mother is still alive! The head of the Ochi family, Ochi Dan Masatada, will definitely intervene in the affairs of the family under the pretext of supporting Tochi Omaru's rise, and The people of the ten cities and other countries will also mobilize in groups. When the time comes, won’t our family’s situation be..."
Before the retainer had finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the house.
"My lord, I would like to see you Shunlian!"
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard Tsutsui Shunren's arrival.
Tsutsui Junxing's face was gloomy. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let him in!"
"ha!"
Soon, Tsutsui Shunlian entered the house.
When he saw a group of people sitting in the room, Tsutsui Shunren was startled for a moment, and then he was relieved soon after.
Because he knew most of them as retainers belonging to Tsutsui Shunkei's faction, such as Ido Castle Lord Ido Kakuhiro, Kataoka Castle Lord Kataoka Kuniharu and others.
Obviously, his arrival also caused uneasiness on Tsutsui Shunxing's side. I'm afraid these people were discussing things about him before that.
"Shunlian, you come to me so late and don't know why?"
Tsutsui Shunlian sat down with a calm expression, and then said: "Just to clear up my uncle's doubts!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"About the poor monk's purpose!"
Tsutsui Shunren said bluntly: "The poor monk knows that returning to Yamato this time will bring many uneasy factors to our family. In order to avoid chaos in the family, the poor monk thinks it is necessary to explain to his uncle the reason why the poor monk returned to Yamato this time. .”
"To be honest, the poor monk has now joined the Kyogoku family, and now the young master of the Kyogoku family, Kyogoku Sakyo, has joined the service!"
"Everyone must be aware of the news that our family has sent troops to Ise this time. Because our family has captured the territory of two counties in Ise, we have incurred the hostility of the Kitahata family of Ise country. I am afraid a war is inevitable!"
"As far as the military strength in Ise is concerned, our family is far inferior to the Kitahata family, so my lord hopes that the Tsutsui family can lend a helping hand to the Kyogoku family!"
Tsutsui Shunlian's words made Tsutsui Shunxing gradually feel relieved. It didn't matter what Tsusui Shunxing did when he came back, as long as he didn't come to snatch the position of family governor.
As for helping Kyogoku's family, that's pretty cool. Wait...why should I help Kyogoku?
"The Kyogoku family has no contact with my family. There is no need for me to offend the Kitahata family for the sake of the Kyogoku family?"
"Besides, our family does not have the ability to send troops to Ise now!"
Just kidding, the Tsutsui family is currently in crisis in Yamato. The relationship between the Ochi family and other people and the Tsutsui family can be said to be very bad. If the Tsutsui family sends troops to Ise, their home base may be attacked just halfway.
"Uncle, don't get me wrong. My lord does not mean to ask the Tsutsui family to send troops to Ise. I just need my uncle to gather troops in his territory and spread the news that he will send troops to Ise."
"If the Kitahata family knows about the Tsutsui family's movements, they will definitely take precautions. In this way, the threat our family faces in Ise Country will be much smaller!"
"That's it?" Tsutsui Junxing continued to ask, seeming to be a little unconvinced.
Tsutsui Shunren nodded, "That's all!"
"In return, the poor monk is willing to write an oath that he will never return to Yamato for the rest of his life!"
"Shun Lian, are you serious?" Tsutsui Shunxing couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart. This was simply pie in the sky.
Tsutsui Shunlian nodded firmly.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Tsutsui Junxing was so excited that he coughed several times, and then suddenly looked at Tsutsui Junlian with a gentle expression and said: "In the past, my brother and I had a very tense situation because of our different political opinions."
"Initially, I thought Yamato was the Yamato of the Tsutsui family, and we could never compromise with Ochi and other people!"
"But it was only when I sat in the position of being the master that I realized the difficulties my brother had faced in the past."
"The conflicts in Yamato have been accumulated for hundreds of years. They cannot be solved by one or two wars. If we continue to fight, in addition to losing the strength of our Tsutsui family, it will allow other people to take advantage of it! "
"So over the years, I finally realized my original mistake, and I actively made friends with the Ochi clan, and even married the daughter of Ochi Danzhengzhong (referring to the Ochi family order)."
"It is said that a person's words are good even when he is about to die. Now that we have reached this point, I would like to express my true feelings to Shun Lian! Whether it is your father or my family, their lifelong wish is to revitalize the Tsutsui family. I believe that Shun Lian is in your heart. I think so too, otherwise you wouldn’t just make such a simple request for such a good opportunity.”
"Today's situation is so similar to that of the past. As long as you raise your arms in the city, your father's old ministers will definitely respond, and Yue Zhi and other people will come to help! My son has no chance of winning!"
"Now you treat me with sincerity, and I will repay you with sincerity!"
"My family is aware of your master's proposal. Within ten days, the joint forces of my family and the people will definitely appear at the border of Ise!"
Hearing Tsutsui Junxing's promise, Tsutsui Shunlian finally felt relieved, "In that case, the poor monk will go back to resume his life!"
"Uncle, take care of yourself. It would be good if you can live a little longer. At least, you can support the Tsutsui family for a few more days."
"Farewell!"
After saying that, Tsutsui Shunlian put his hands together and bowed, then opened the door and walked out with a decisive look.
Tsutsui Shunlian left very resolutely, as if the position of governor of the Tsutsui family really had no appeal to him at all.
The governor of the Tsutsui family is nothing, I, Shunren Tsutsui, am the man who wants to follow my lord to conquer the stars and the sea!
After Tsutsui Junlian left, the retainers in the room looked at Tsutsui Junxing in a somewhat different way.
"My lord, do you really believe what Fujioh Maruden said?"
"I have no choice." Tsutsui Shunxing said with a wry smile.
Ido Kakuhiro asked in confusion: "Why don't you just kill Fujioh Maruden with one sword? Wouldn't that be done once and for all?"
"The Ochi family hopes that Mr. Ido will do this, so that the Ochi family will have a reason to send troops to our clan!" Katayama Harukuni on the side said calmly: "The news of Fujioh Maruden's return to Yamato has spread throughout the country. If Fuji is now If Oumarudon dies in Tsutsui Castle, we will become the target of public criticism!"
"In this case, the people of Yuezhi, Gushi, Shishi, Busi and other countries will definitely attack in the name of my family's injustice. Now that the master is ill and our family is weak, how can we incur such a big incident at this juncture? disaster!"
"Even so, why did you agree to Fujiohmaruden's request to mobilize troops to station at the Ise border?"
Tsutsui Junxing rubbed his forehead, and then said slightly weakly: "My health is getting worse day by day, and I'm afraid I will leave you all soon!"
"Before I die, I can take this opportunity to let the people of Yamato see the strength of our Tsutsui family, and also to shock the restless people around me!"
"In this way, even if I die, Yue Zhi and other people will have concerns after seeing our family's combat power, so my son will have nothing to worry about!"
"As expected of my lord, you have really thought everything through!" Ido Kakuhiro finally understood Tsutsui Junxing's painstaking efforts.
Tsutsui Junxing struggled to stand up from the ground, "Pass this order to my family, and all the city lords in the territory will immediately mobilize their troops. The local servants of the subordinate countries of my family must also join the battle!"
"In the name of Kofukuji Temple, we gather all the disciples. Our family has been accumulated for so many years. It's time to show our strength!"
