After a night's rest in the dormitory, I finally regained some energy.
Early the next morning, Kyogoku Takamasa immediately called Hatayama Nobunobu and others.
"The purpose of our visit to Shinano this time is very clear, that is to find a few talents who are good at cavalry combat! Shinano produces horses, and there must be no shortage of samurai who are good at horses, so our top priority now is to find these talents, and then To win over!”
"But the situation in Shinano is too unfamiliar to us. If we rush around like headless flies, we don't know how much time we will waste."
"So I have decided that in the next few days, you guys will collect information about various wealthy families in Shinano. Any wealthy families who have ranches and horse riding teams in their territories, pay more attention to the leaders of their riding teams. who is it."
"In addition, pay attention to the warriors in each family's territory who do not have good horses."
"In five days, we will meet here and decide where to go!"
The domestic situation in Shinano was chaotic. Although Kyogoku Takamasa had several general candidates for the cavalry in his mind, the details were not yet clear.
Therefore, the top priority for Kyogoku Takamasa and others is to find out the situation in Shinano as soon as possible, see if there are talents in the wealthy families, and then choose one or two suitable ones to contact.
Now, the Kyogoku family is no longer the salty fish it was when Kyogoku Takamasa just traveled through time.
With the power of the Kyogoku family now sitting on Kitaomi, and having taken over more than 200,000 koku of Shigao, plus the name of the fourth family member of the Kyogoku family, Kyogoku Takamasa still doesn't believe that he can't fool a few country bumpkins from Shinano. .
After formulating a plan, Kyogoku Takamasa and others quickly took action separately.
Hatayama Asanobu went to Northern Shinano, Hayashi Masanobu inquired about information in Southern Shinano, Onoki Kunishige and Nagasaka Nobumasa followed Kyogoku Takamasa, while Yamaoka Inuhachiro and two other ninjas began to contact Shinano locals In terms of intelligence, the local ninja organization in Shinano is naturally the most knowledgeable.
...
Kai, Uzakikan.
Looking at this famous city in history, Kyogoku Takamasa also had no confidence in his trip.
Before going to Shinano, Kyogoku Takamasa also had many candidates for the general of the cavalry, among which Iito Toromasa was definitely at the top of the list.
In addition to Fanfu Huchang himself being a talented general, the most important thing is that after kidnapping Fanfu Huchang, Shanxian Changjing will naturally fall into the trap. Such a buy-one-get-one-free deal is simply not a good deal.
So after leaving Takato Castle, Kyogoku Takamasa immediately took Nagasaka Nobumasa and others to Ugasakikan.
"My lord, I have found out about the residence of Iitomi Hōbu-shaosuke. It is in the yard on the street in front." Nagasaka Nobumasa, wearing a hat made of woven straw, quietly came to Kyogoku Takamasa and said. .
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded, then turned to Onoki Kunishige beside him and said, "Isesuke, are you ready with your gifts?"
Onoki Kunishige quickly raised several bags of gifts in his hands and nodded.
"In that case, then go and knock on the door!"
Kyogoku Takamasa seemed to have good luck, as Iito Toromasa was at home at this time.
Under the leadership of a maid, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly met a middle-aged samurai in his thirties.
Looking at the three strangers Kyogoku Takamasa, Iito Homasa's face was full of doubts.
"Your Excellency is not a retainer of my family, and I have never seen you in the land of Jiaxin. I wonder what the purpose of your visit today is?" The vigilance and defensiveness on Iito Huchang's face were very obvious. For a person of unknown origin, Rich and prosperous people don't dare to be careless.
He had just rebelled and returned to the Takeda family. At this time, there might be someone from Takeda Nobutora outside who was monitoring his every move. If this person was someone sent by the Shinano wealthy family, Iitomi Toramasa would probably draw his sword directly. Killed Kyogoku Takamasa and others.
"I don't tell lies in front of the real person. I'm here this time for the sake of the Young Assistant Palace of the Ministry of War!"
"For my sake?" Iitomi Komasa narrowed his eyes, and then said tentatively: "Are you from Shinano?"
Kyogoku Takamasa shook his head.
"So, are you from Suruga, or are you from the Hojo family?"
"None of them!" Kyogoku Takamasa didn't want to hide anything, so he quickly announced his identity and said: "I am Omi Kyogoku's retainer. I am here to persuade Iito-sama to become an official in our family!"
Although he retained his identity, Kyogoku Takamasa still hid his true identity and only said that he was a retainer of the Kyogoku family.
"The Omi Kyogoku family?"
At this time, Iitomi Takamasa looked at Kyogoku Takamasa in confusion. He had never thought why someone from the Omi Kyogoku family would come to him, and judging from the other party's words, was he trying to poach him?
"Excuse me for being presumptuous. Even though you are a retainer of the Kyogoku family, I have never had any contact with the Kyogoku family. Why did you come to Kai to poach me?"
"I am just an ordinary samurai. How can you know my name when you are in Omi?" Iito Takamasa thought Kyogoku Takamasa was lying.
In fact, it is easy to understand. At this time, Iito Homasa was not the Four Heavenly Kings of Takeda in history. At this time, Iito Toramasa was just a slightly famous samurai in Kai, Shinano and other places.
From Itomi Tomasa's point of view, it was a fantasy that his name could be known to the Kyogoku family far away in Omi, and that their retainers were sent to poach him.
Kyogoku Takamasa was not surprised by Iitomi Tomasa's attitude, but continued: "To be honest, my family has recently acquired a new batch of war horses and intends to form a riding team."
"However, the land of Omi does not produce horses, and there are no suitable candidates, so I came to the land of Jiashin on the order of my lord to search for talents!"
"After I came to Shinano, I asked around, and I heard Iitomi-sama's name mentioned many times in the past few days. I think Iitomi-sama must have something special, so I came to Kai to meet Iitomi. grown ups!"
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Iito Toramasa nodded doubtfully, and then continued: "My abilities are mediocre, and I'm afraid I've failed to live up to your expectations."
"So, Iitomo-sama has no intention of joining the family?"
"My family is willing to pay Zhixingdi five thousand stones to recruit him. I wonder what Mr. Fanfu wants?"
Five thousand stones to know and do?
Iito Huchang's breathing suddenly became rapid.
This is not a salary of five thousand stones, but a place of knowledge and practice! In other words, as long as Iito Toromasa agrees to Kyogoku Takamasa's request, he will have a hereditary knowledge and practice place, and it will still be five thousand koku.
And what is Iito Homasa's status in the Takeda family now?
A person who surrendered and then rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again, is now just an ordinary warrior in the family. He has neither the right to lead troops nor the slightest authority. It can be said that he is a dispensable person in the family.
To be honest, Iito Homasa was already tempted at this moment.
However, Iitomi Takamasa shook his head firmly, and then looked at Kyogoku Takamasa with a calm face and said: "My abilities are mediocre, and I have betrayed the Takeda family twice before."
"Fortunately, my lord has not given up and has forgiven me twice for my sins!"
"If I accept your invitation and switch to Kyogoku this time, I will betray my master again! As the saying goes, "Three things can only be done," how can there be any reason to betray the master three times?"
"Although I, Fan Fuhu Chang, am not a world-famous warrior, I am not willing to do such a despicable thing!"
"So I accept your kindness with all my heart!"
Kyogoku Takamasa's eyes dimmed. Sure enough, such a talent cannot be successfully recruited by just a few words.
Madhu, everything in time travel is all a lie!
It's all fake when the tiger's body is shocked and the king's domineering spirit leaks out, and all the heroes from all walks of life worship him!
Fake!
