And when the ninja army went, the clan sect was not worried about the defense in the territory, after all, the Hojo family at this moment had no extra troops to send, and it had no spare strength to invade Kai, so what else did he have to worry about. And with these three thousand ninja troops, the clan believes that this time not only will they be able to eat the Jinghu in Kasuga Mountain Castle, but as long as the white bei of the Hojo family dares to go to Echigo, it will definitely be in trouble.

After arranging all this, the clan once again paid attention to the Satake family, which was not his own volition, it was completely the Satake family who sent someone again, and this time, the clan was not in a hurry at all, so he really planned to have a good talk with the Satake family, after all, one more friend is better than one more enemy.

This time, the envoy sent by the Satake family was no longer Wada Akiwei, but the little-known, but capable Eoka Shige. For this person, I have heard of it in my previous life, but I don't care at all, after all, if it is really a cow, how can the reputation be so bad, so the understanding of the Eoka Shigeshi is still after he won Kai and increased the collection of intelligence in the Kanto region, and he only learned from the intelligence, and when he saw the introduction of the Satake family Eoka Shige, the clan immediately knew that this should be a talent buried in history, and his reputation is definitely not worthy of his contribution to the Satake family, It can be said that at least a small part of the reason why the Satake family was able to have the current situation was due to the credit of the Eoka Shigeclan, although the other party failed to achieve anything on the battlefield, but diplomatically. Definitely the best in the world. Look at the Uchijima clan under his command, who is in charge of foreign affairs. Although it is quite able to say, but it is a wild road, and there is still a big gap with a samurai like the other party who is good at diplomacy, so when he heard that it was this person who came, the clan immediately began to be vigilant, so as not to recruit anything, of course, if he can dig the other party over, it is also a good choice.

Just when the clan was thinking nonsense. The Eoka Shige, who had already received the message, walked in quickly, and immediately saluted and said, "In the Shimosatake family, the Eoka Shigeshi will meet with Hida Mamoru for the foreign affairs of the Shimosatake family. ”

"No courtesy." After seeing the other party salute, the clan also came back to his senses, the person in front of him was very different from the appearance imagined by the clan sect, he thought that the samurai in charge of diplomacy should be very sleek in appearance, white and fat, and having a big belly would be more in line with it, but this Eoka Shige clan was not such an honor at all, only to see his square face and sword eyebrows. The mouth and nose are straight, especially the pair of glasses that are not big or small reveal a sense of righteousness. In addition to the slightly darker complexion, it gives people a sense of stability and trustworthiness, without a trace of oiliness.

And at the same time that the clan is looking at the Eoka Shige, the other party is also looking at him, out of professional habits, whenever he goes out to negotiate, he has to observe the other party first, after all, from a person's face, there are still some people who can see some of the other party's character, such as some people look snarky, then such people must be very interested in interests, and some people have long eyes and wide mouths, and they must be like steel needles, so such people must be easy to fool.

But when he looked up and saw the clan, he suddenly felt that his previous summary was all in vain, he was the first time to see such a complex appearance, handsome but not weak, handsome but not strong, neither unforgettable at first sight, but also not difficult to approach, the world said that the clan was shrewd, but from its face saw sincerity, the world said that it was vicious, but from its face saw peace. After not finding the answer from his face, Eoka Shigeshi looked at him like a clan's eyes, but he still felt a little disappointed, he didn't see anything in the other party's eyes, only calm.

Seeing that the other party had been staring at him for a long time, the clan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, what is going on with this Satake family, how can the people sent one more unreliable than the other, Wada Zhaowei who came for the first time is an arrogant maniac, and this Eoka Shige clan in front of him looks like a stupid goose? But if that's the case, is the information you got fake?

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect say with some displeasure: "Could it be that the envoys of the Satake family are so rude?" ”

After listening to this, Eoka Shigeshi changed his senses, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that now he can only say useless nonsense such as asking the other party for forgiveness, but he did not do this, but said respectfully: "Hui Takayama-sama, this practice is deliberate, I think that if you want to see a person's heart, you must first look at a person's face, and to see a person's face, you need to look at a person's eyes first, and then you can talk to you before you can be sure." ”

The other party's rhetoric is not reasonable, but it makes the clan feel a little novel, he has been ready to forgive the other party after the other party admits his mistakes, so that in the negotiation process, he is equivalent to taking the lead, but the other party not only did not admit his mistake, but also dragged a lot of money, and after this big pass, it also made the clan feel that there was some reason, and it was not easy to do this in front of the clan.

And the clan sect immediately corrected his mentality, and no longer had any contempt, this person looked much more powerful than what was said in the intelligence.

Of course, it is impossible for the clan to be bluffed by the other party's words, since you have dragged out such a lot of truths, if you can't say why, then don't blame me for being unreasonable. So I only heard the clan said: "Since this is the case, I don't know if Lord Eoka can see anything from my face." ”

Jiang Oka Shige's heart was happy at first, he was happy not that the clan did not pursue the matter, but that he had already realized the other party's bearing from this matter, the other party is not a person with a narrow temperament, which will undoubtedly make the next negotiation easier, after all, if the other party is a person who grabs it because of a little thing, then the negotiation cannot go on at all, although before he came, he also felt that the clan would not be the kind of narrow-minded person, otherwise he would not have achieved today's achievements, but after all, these things have not been seen in person, and they cannot be true.

Of course, the other party didn't care about it last time, but if he still can't answer this time, then I'm afraid it will be difficult to fool it, although Eoka Shigeshi really didn't see anything. But even if it's nonsense, something has to be said. It's not that hard for him at all. If the other party is a small wealthy family, then it is definitely right to keep the family business, and if it is a famous name like the Takayama family with millions of stones, then there will definitely be no problems in the world and the region, and opening up the river is the most basic ability of every person who is proficient in diplomacy.

The Eoka Shigeshi wanted to say that they saw the determination of the clan to dominate the Kanto region, but after thinking about it, if so. Wouldn't it be that even Satake's family brought it in, so let's talk about the world first, anyway, I just said it casually, don't care about right or wrong, he can't do anything to himself.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Back to Gaoshan, although I didn't see anything from the adult's face, I could see from the adult's eyes the determination of the adult to create a peaceful and prosperous world. If what you said below is not right, then please forgive Lord Takayama for being reckless. ”

After hearing this, the Gaoshan clan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Does the other party really have the ability to see faces? Since the last time I met Nobunaga in Azuchijo, the clan clan that had been hesitating whether to be a capable minister or a person of the world finally made a decision. That is to replace Nobunaga and create a prosperous era, but this idea has only been hidden deep in his heart, and he will never let others know if the time comes, but did the Eoka Shigeshi in front of him find any flaws in his eyes? There shouldn't be this possibility, because when I faced him, I wasn't thinking about these things in my heart at all, and even at that time, I was just thinking about the person in front of me, and there was no possibility of any flaws at all.

Thinking of this, the clan calmed down a little, and had a plan in his heart, whether the other party really saw it or blindfolded it, but he absolutely couldn't admit it, and he couldn't go on like this, otherwise if he had a few words, maybe he would be led by the other party, and this kind of thing would never be allowed to happen.

I only heard and said: "Lord Jianggang laughed, creating a peaceful and prosperous era is what my lord has to do, and I am just assisting the lord to complete this goal, as a retainer, you should abide by the duty of a retainer, not only did the clan not think about it, but also did not dare to think about it, it seems that the lord is wrong." ”

"Since this is the case, then I still ask Lord Gao Shan to forgive my sin, it is in Xia Menglang." And this topic, after Eoka Shige's involuntary admission of mistakes, can be regarded as over. And the next thing to talk about is the purpose of his coming to Kofu this time.

Before the clan clan could speak, he heard him speak again: "Takayama-sama's understanding of the spirit of bushido, let me admire it very much, but even if the adults want to assist Nobunaga to complete this grand wish, they must have considerable strength to do it, and now in front of the adults is the Hojo family, as we all know, Kanto is located in the plains, and the knowledge is millions of stones, this is still due to the perennial war, and it has not been developed, if the adults want to assist Nobunaga to rule the world, then the Hojo family is the biggest obstacle, Destroying him has become a hurdle that must be crossed in front of adults, and this time I came down to do it, not for the survival of my family, but for the sake of adults to eliminate Hojo and offer advice. ”

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and offered me advice? Lao Tzu has three major military divisions, four great kings, sixteen generals, seven ministers, and the rest of the retainers are also heroes in the world, and you are a messenger of the Satake family who dares to speak out, under the guise of planning for yourself, for the benefit of the Satake family, is it really a fool for my Gaoshan clan.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say sarcastically: "Just now the adult said that the topic of viewing the face and mind, the clan also observed the adult, although I didn't see anything, but from the adult's words, I heard that the adult is clever and tonguey, sharp teeth, black and white upside down, the adult is called the family's plan, but it is really for Satake, if the adult looks down on my clan so much, this is really not a good thing for the Satake family." ”

"Lord Takayama, there is a question below, if it is convenient for adults, I hope that adults can solve their doubts below." Seeing that the clan sect didn't mean to interrupt, he only listened to the Eoka Shigeshi continue: "May I ask your lord, do you think it is important for the Takayama family to destroy Hojo, or is it also important for the Satake family to preserve the family?" ”

"Naturally, it is more important for the family to eliminate Hojo, but does this have anything to do with the clever words of the adults?" The clan said without thinking about it, from his own point of view, there is nothing more important than the elimination of Hojo at this stage, as for Satake, in front of the Hojo family, it is just a trivial matter for him. But what he didn't expect was that the other party was playing word games with him, and he was waiting for him.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem with what I just said, since Takayama-sama thinks that the elimination of Hojo is a big deal, so what's wrong with saying that it's the main thing to do for the lord, and it's the right to protect the name of the Satake family?"

After listening to the other party, the clan not only did not get angry, but smiled and said: "Haha, yes, Lord Eoka's eloquence is really unparalleled in the world, whether the adult is offering advice to me, or to save the Satake family business, but at least let me see the ability of the Satake family's retainers, if the Satake family has the ability of adults, in the matter of Hojo, I am willing to listen to the strategies of adults." ”

"Takayama-sama praised it falsely, with the ability to be in the Satake family but the last stream, this time to be able to make the Takayama family, thanks to the trust of the lord, as for the strategy just mentioned below, in fact, even if you don't say it below, with the wisdom of Takayama-sama, you have already guessed, that is, the two are united, once the two are united, then the Hojo army will form an east-west flank trend, so that Hojo can only be beaten passively, if it wants to attack, it has to consider the stability behind it, which is a win-win situation for Takayama and the family."

"That's what Wada-sama said when he came, do you know how I answered at the beginning?" The clan sect didn't answer anything, because he had already said it very clearly last time, although he had the desire of the Satake family to unite, but it was absolutely not allowed to allow such cooperation to be built on the basis of equality between the two sides, especially the territory of the Shigao clan sect did not intend to make concessions, otherwise once he used troops to the west in the future, there was a Satake with hundreds of thousands of hours behind his back, it was really not reassuring, and the battle ahead would be smooth and unhindered, once it was in trouble, then who knows if this Satake clan would have any other ideas, Even if he doesn't, it doesn't mean that others won't send people to lobby, rather than that, it's better to nip the danger in the bud, and these are things that the clan will not change, whether it's Wada Akira, or the Eoka Shige, even if Satake Yoshishige comes in person, it's useless, and the interests of the family can't be violated by anyone.
