Inside the Takahashi Castle Castle Tower. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Takahashi Kokoku has seen His Highness Tsugawa." Takahashi Kokoku said to Soharu Tsugawa, who was sitting on the main seat. The Takahashi family on the side also followed Takahashi to salute.
"Lord Takahashi, please. I have heard of Takahashi-sama's martial arts for a long time, and today I have seen the demeanor of adults from afar, and now I can finally have a long talk with my lord. Soji Tsugawa said politely.
"I'm ashamed that I was deceived by others and participated in the battle against Dongxiang City this time, if Your Highness wants to punish me, please punish me alone, and let the rest of the Takahashi family go." Takahashi Xingguo once again fell to the ground to apologize.
"Takahashi-sama is serious." Soji Tsugawa stood up, walked up to Takahashi Xingkoku, and said, "This matter was planned by Tanaka Jinyoshi and Matsumoto Juntaka, and Takahashi-sama was only deceived by the two, so he had to fight with the main family." Now that everything has come to light, the family will never blame the Takahashi family."
"Hi. Thank you, Your Highness," Takahashi said happily.
In addition, although Tanaka Jinyoshi was captured this time, Matsumoto Juntaka escaped. I wonder what Takahashi-sama thinks? Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.
As soon as he heard that Matsumoto Jungao had fled, Takahashi Xingguo stood up with a loud voice, "Your Highness, I am willing to pursue Matsumoto Juntaka and capture Matsumoto Castle and Tanaka Castle instead." ”
"Don't worry, Lord Takahashi, since the Takahashi family has taken refuge in the family, then they are part of the family. Takahashi-sama wants revenge, and of course the family will support it. Just ......"
Tsugawa Soji was halfway through his words, and a detective from the Tsugawa family outside the castle tower ran in and said something in Kuroda's ear.
After a while, Kuroda Iekane's face changed. Said to Tsugawa Soji: "My lord, there is a new situation in Senhoku County"
As soon as he heard that something had happened in Xianbei County, Tsugawa Soji said with a solemn expression: "Zhenbei, what happened to Xianbei County?" ”
"My lord, the war between the Liuxiang family and the Hondo family in Xianbei County has escalated. The Rokugo family asked for reinforcements from the Owada family in Hiraka County in southern Senhoku County and the Onodera family in Yukatsu County. At present, except for the Owada family, who has not yet replied, the head of the Onodera family, Onodera Uemichi, dispatched 1,000 troops to support the Rokugo family. With the 600 people of the Liuxiang family, the total strength is about 1,600 people. Kuroda said excitedly.
"What? How big did it happen? So how is the war going now? Soji Tsugawa exclaimed.
The Hondo family also appealed to the Tozawa family in Kakunodate Castle for help. The head of the Tozawa family, Michimori Tozawa, together with the Maeda family, sent 1,400 troops to support the Hondo family. Now there is a fierce battle between the two sides in the area of Takane Castle and Iwamatsu Castle. Kuroda replied.
"And then? Go on. Soharu Tsugawa said.
"At the beginning the two sides fought in a stalemate. However, the Tozawa family and the Hondo family later sent a cavalry team of 100 people to attack the main camp of the Onodera family and the Rokugo family, and the Onodera family and the Rokugo family were defeated. ”
"So the Tozawa family and the Hondo family won?" Soji Tsugawa asked. If the Tozawa family and the Hondo family win, then the Hondo family in Nansenkita County is bound to rise, and the Tsugawa family will be in danger at that time.
"The war is not over. The forces of the Onodera family retreated to Takane Castle and are now in the cage castle. Kuroda replied.
"Lord, there is such a big war in Xianbei County, will the family withdraw the army and go back?" Yoshikage Komura suggested on the side.
Soji Tsugawa was silent, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. "The battle in Senhoku County is not so much a battle between the Rokugo family and the Hondo family as it is a confrontation between the Tozawa family, the most powerful force in Senhoku County, and the Onodera family in Yukatsu County next door. This battle will determine the direction of Senbei County in the future, and it should not be taken lightly. ”
"Now that the entire Xianbei County has been drawn into the whirlpool of war, I will waste time by staying here, once the two families decide the winner, I will not be able to reap any benefits."
Tsugawa Soji, who was paying attention, said to everyone in the hall: "There is a war in Xianbei County, and the foundation of this family is in Xianbei County, so we must withdraw our troops no matter what." ”
Seeing that Togo Yoshisuke and Takahashi Kokoku seemed to be about to say something, Tsugawa Soji continued: "However, the Tanaka family and the Matsumoto family can't just let it go so easily. ”
"Now, I order...."Soji Tsugawa said loudly. And everyone in the hall also sat upright and listened carefully to the orders given by Tsugawa Soji.
"I appoint Lord Takahashi Xingguo as the general of my family, and give it to the old lord of Takahashi Castle." Soji Tsugawa said loudly to Takahashi Kokoku.
"Ha~ha," Kokoku Takahashi responded. The stone in my heart was also put down.
"In addition, the next attack on the Tanaka family and the Matsumoto family, Takahashi-sama is the general general, control Takahashi Castle and Togo Castle, and take full responsibility for all wars."
"Hi," Takahashi said excitedly. "I didn't expect my new person to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, it seems that the Tsugawa family is indeed worthy of allegiance."
"Where is the Yoshijing of the Village?"
"Yes, Your Highness, please command," Yoshiki Komura replied quickly.
"Temporarily appoint you as the Togo Castle Representative, and assist Takahashi-sama in sending troops to Tanaka Castle and Matsumoto Castle."
"Hi" Komura Yoshikyo said excitedly, "Your Majesty must live up to the trust of the lord", remembering that he was promoted from a homeless person to the position of the current Ashigaru general, and he also served as the representative of the city. This is all a gift from the lord to himself. Thinking about this, Yoshikage Komura almost burst into tears.
Soji Tsugawa continued: "The Ashigaru of the Tanaka family and the Matsumoto family who surrendered today and Takahashi-sama and Yoshikage Omura arranged. Those who are willing to join their own family join their own family, and those who are unwilling are temporarily imprisoned and released when the war is over. ”
"Hi," Kokoku Takahashi and Yoshikaki Komura replied.
"In addition, Tanaka Castle and Takahashi Castle are almost out of the nest this time, presumably neither of them will gather too many troops now, and the two of you can attack the two castles separately and try to wipe out the two families in one fell swoop," Tsugawa Soji instructed.
"Hi"
Seeing that the two of them received the order, Tsugawa Soji nodded. Then he said to Togo Yoshiyu, "Togo Yoshiyu." ”
"Hi"
"You go back to Togo Castle now and take Yukihime to Tsugawa Castle."
"But ....."
"Sooner or later, my father-in-law's revenge will be avenged, and I have already arranged for Takahashi-sama and Komura Yoshikage to deal with these things, so you can rest assured." Soji Tsugawa knew what Togo Yoshisuke was thinking, so he spoke out and said.
"Well, well, so I'll leave it to the two of you." Togo Yoshisuke hurriedly saluted Takahashi Xingguo and the others.
"Don't dare, don't dare, do your best." The two hurriedly replied. Just kidding, of course, the revenge of the gang leader should be taken seriously.
Seeing that Togo Yoshisuke was soft, Soji Tsugawa continued: "After Lord Togo takes Yukihime back to Tsugawa Castle, settle down first. Now that the situation in Xianbei County is unclear, let's put the wedding aside for the time being. ”
"Hi"
Then, Tsugawa Soji turned his head and said to Kuroda Iekane, "Shinbei, you are now going inside to straighten out your troops and prepare to withdraw to Tsugawa Castle." In addition, I sent someone to inform Mizutani-sama and Yoshikawa-sama to wait for me at Tsugawa Castle. ”
"Yes, my lord," the Kuroda family took the order.
After arranging the affairs, Soji Tsugawa said to Takahashi Koke on the side of Takahashi Kokoku: "Takahashi Koko"
Takahashi Xingjia, who was distracted, suddenly heard Tsugawa Soji calling him, and hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Your Majesty is here"
"Yes! It's really extraordinary, and he deserves to be the son of Takahashi-sama. Soji Tsugawa praised the Takahashi family, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness's flag book was previously the commander of Omura Yoshikei. Now that Yoshikyo Komura is the representative of Dongxiang Castle, the commander of Qimoto is vacant. How about appointing you as the commander of the banner of His Highness? ”
"Huh?" Takahashi Xingjia was overwhelmed by Tsugawa Soji's words, and it took a long time before he said excitedly: "Takahashi Xingjia is ordered." Thank you for Your Highness's trust, the Xingjia family will definitely take care of Your Highness's safety in the future. ”
Takahashi Xingguo on the side also looked happy. His Royal Highness did not despise the Takahashi family because it was a new person, but on the contrary, he entrusted the family with a heavy responsibility, which is really a rare master.
Hearing Takahashi Xingjia's words, Soji nodded with satisfaction. This move was not only to win over the Takahashi family, but also to get Takahashi Xingguo's only son, Takahashi Xingguo, to his side from another point of view. In this way, if Takahashi Xingguo has any other ideas, he has to think about his son's safety.
"Your Highness, the ashigaru people have assembled," Kuroda Iekane shouted outside the Taimori
Soji Tsugawa immediately stood up and said to Takahashi Kokoku: "His Royal Highness is about to leave for his return, so please leave the matter here to Takahashi-sama."
"Hi" Takahashi Xingguo promised.
Then, Soji Tsugawa walked out of the castle tower quickly. Takahashi Xingjia also said goodbye to Takahashi Xingguo, and then got up and followed Tsugawa Soji closely.
Riding a horse led by Kuroda Iekane, he came to the outside of Takahashi Castle.
Seeing that the ashigaru people had been assembled, he said loudly, "Let's go"
"Huh"
A **** is coming, can the Tsukawa family seize the opportunity to rise? Soji Tsugawa's heart has always been haunted by such a question.
