If it had been placed half a year ago, the Ashina Mori clan would definitely be grateful to Dade, but unfortunately it was a pity that Ashina Mori had just passed away, although he intended to inherit the Ashina family by inheriting the heirs of the Nikaido family, but the question was whether the Takayama clan would recognize it.

Seeing that the other party hadn't agreed for a long time, the Gaoshan Clan Sect couldn't help frowning, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What, it's so difficult that you don't want to?" ”

"General, if you don't want to, it's really that there is no one in the Ashina family to be a proton. So... Speaking of this, Ashina Sheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, only to hear him hurriedly say: "General, the old man has no children under his knees, if the general agrees, he can let a son inherit... ”

The clan didn't wait for him to finish, he waved his hand directly, he didn't even want to send his retainers to that place, let alone his own children, but when he thought that if he controlled Aizu, it would be equivalent to blocking the passage of Muao's westward advance, this position is extremely important, as long as Aizu is in hand, then no matter how the forces of Muzu are tossing, they can only fight by themselves in that one acre and three points, and if they want to come out, they can't get out.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Where is Nakagawa Hidemasa?" ”

"The subordinates are here, and I ask the lord to give orders." Nakagawa Hidemasa, as a close attendant, naturally would not be too far away from Zongqing, and as soon as the clan said something, he immediately flashed in from outside the door, and then saluted and said.

"Your father fought with me for many years, and made a lot of contributions, but he unfortunately died, when the Shinano Maruko City of the Nakagawa family was really not much of my territory, and now Lord Ashina really hopes that the family will send the Ashina family business, and you have followed me for a long time, are you willing to inherit this Ashina family?" Speaking of this, the clan was afraid that he would not know about the Ashina family, so he continued: "The Ashina family has 100,000 stone in Aizu, are you willing?" ”

"It's all up to the Lord."

"What does Ashina-sama think?"

Although the Ashina Mori clan doesn't know this Nakagawa Hidemasa, but since he can become the close attendant of the Takayama clan, it must be stronger than the Nikaido family himself to succeed the Nikaido Shenglong, anyway, no matter who succeeds, as long as he keeps the family business of the Ashina family, his trip will not be in vain, the only fly in the ointment is that the Takayama clan is unwilling to send a son to inherit the Ashina family, otherwise the family can rely on this big tree, and there will be no need to worry about it, the close servant is worse after all, but this is also a helpless thing, but the more the Takayama clan is like this, the more relieved he is, this at least shows that the Takayama family really has no idea about Mutsu, as for whether to tell the news to the other forces of Mutsu? Ashina Sheng thought about it, and finally felt that it was better to forget it, it was already a surprise that he was able to keep the Ashina family, and as for the other families, they would have to go.

Because of the inheritance of the Ashina family, then Takayama Nobukatsu will naturally no longer be embarrassed by him, and the Ashina Mori family is also a smart person, since he returned to Kurokawa Castle, without any delay, directly gathered the retainers, and passed the position of the governor to Nakagawa Hidemasa, and Nakagawa Hidemasa also changed his name to Ashina Hidemasa.

Not only that, after Ashina Hidemasa succeeded him as the governor of the family, he immediately opened the gate of Kurokawa Castle to welcome the army of the Takayama family into the city to rest.

Takayama Nobukatsu asked Inawashiro Shengqing to bring a message to Ashina at that time, just to find an excuse, he expected that the other party would not just watch the Ashina family be destroyed, so he would definitely unite the forces of Mutsu and fight with the Takayama family, but who knew that the other party actually took advantage of this time to go to Odawara Castle to meet his father in person, and couldn't help but feel very admired for his courage, and when he saw that it was not his brother who inherited the position of Ashina's governor, but his father's close attendants, he immediately thought that it seemed that his father did not plan to take Mutsu into his pocket. In that case, after the first battle, the opponent will be subdued.

With this idea in mind, Takayama Nobukatsu stayed in Kurokawa Castle safely and waited for news of the forces of the land and Okuku.

It's just that the road of Mutsu is really much worse than that of Kinai or Kanto, so at this time, those forces of Mutsu have just received the news that the Ashina Mori clan sent someone to Odawara Castle, and if it weren't for these people to send them a letter, then at this moment they wouldn't even know that the Takayama Army had set out from Shimono and attacked Mutsu.

When the Nanbu family, which was the farthest part of the Michinoku, received this news, Nanbu Harumasa, who was already over sixty years old, immediately relinquished the position of family governor to his son, Nanbu Haruji, so that the Nanbu family would not be destroyed in his hands.

Nanfang Qingji was reluctant to take over at this time, but what if he didn't take over? Someone from the southern family eventually had to sit in this seat, so in desperation, he could only go to Yamagata Castle to discuss important matters the day after picking up the governor.

If it had been placed in previous years, or even last year, how could the governors of the various forces of the Mutsu have appeared in one city, but now such a thing happened in the home of the Mogami family, Yamagata Castle, because the initiators of the Mutsu Alliance this time are the Mogami family and the Date family, and the Yonezawa Castle of the Date family is located in the deep mountains, so the traffic is really unchanged, so Yamagata Castle has become the best place for them to discuss this time.

Although Yamagata Castle is the main castle of the Yamagata family, it is also the residence of Yoshimitsu Mogami, although this is definitely a big castle in the Mutsu area, but it is just in Mutsu, and its real scale is about the same as the scale of Owari Inuyama Castle when the clan became the castle dynasty, and it is such a castle that is not only not large, but also not gorgeous, but at the moment in one of its inner rooms is sitting in the homes of the various families of Mutsu, of course, because everyone has the same identity, so Mogami Yoshimitsu is also embarrassed to sit on the main seat, but moved to sit with them below.

There are a lot of people in the room, sitting opposite Mogami Yoshimitsu, is the Date family's governor Date Teizune, this person compared with Mogami Yoshimitsu, although a little less imposing, but a little more elegant, and the other person is the southern Haruki who has just inherited the position of the family governor, the three of them sit in the front, and after that, it is Kasai Harunobu, Osaki Yoshitaka, Tsugaru is a small force that is weaker, but can not be ignored, all in all, there are more than a dozen people in this room at the moment, almost crowding this place.

When everyone sat down, no one spoke, because at this time, they really didn't know what to say, especially when they learned that the other party was going to let them give up their territory and go to Odawara, their minds were already blank.

The alliance was not intended to be an enemy of the Gao Shan family, but when they found out that this idea was only recognized by themselves, and was not recognized by the Gao Shan family, they felt a little regretful, if they didn't participate in this alliance, wouldn't it mean that they could also borrow the position of monk governor and protect the family business.
