Or... Thinking of this, the Ashina Mori clan suddenly had a very risky idea, the reason why the Takayama army did not attack, it must be waiting for themselves or waiting for the decision of the Mutsu forces, so he will do it according to the other party's wishes, while sending someone to spread the other party's words, while taking advantage of the other party's not attacking, he personally went to Odawara Castle, maybe the Takayama clan will let Ashina go for the sake of the sincerity of the family...

The more the Ashina Mori clan thought about it, the more reasonable it became, the other party obviously didn't look down on the land of Mutsu, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now to send troops to attack, since this is the case, then everything is still negotiable, even if it is to reduce the seal, at least it is better than being destroyed, after having this idea, the Ashina Mori clan did not dare to trust it again, so one sent someone to inform Date that Mogami, Nanbu and other forces only brought his retainer Kinakami Moribei, and then bypassed the army of the Takayama family and went straight to Odawara Castle.

"Report! Lord, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the head of the Ashina family, and the Ashina Sheng family asks to see him outside, and he also asks the lord to decide. ”

After hearing such a report, the clan felt very strange, didn't Shinkatsu's army have already gone out of the field, why did the Ashina Sheng clan not prepare for the battle in Kurokawa City at this time, but ran to himself?

For a while, the clan didn't even think of the other party's intention to come here, but since the person is here, and he is also the family governor of Aizu 100,000 stones, anyway, he has nothing to do now, so it's better to see him.

"Got it, please wait for Ashina-sama at the teahouse."

Ashina Sheng sat nervously in the tea room, this tea room is not big, and there is nothing in the room except for a low tea table, although there are rockeries and ponds outside the door, the scenery is good, but at this moment he has no heart to appreciate these, but keeps his head down and ponders for a while what he should say.

"The lord has arrived."

Hearing that the Takayama clan was coming, the Ashina Mori clan hurriedly stood up and waited respectfully by the door.

After entering the teahouse, the clan sat on the cushion facing the door, and then said to the Ashina Mori who looked nervous: "Presumably this is Lord Ashina, please take a seat." ”

"Your Excellency General Xie." Originally, he had thought about a lot of things to say just now, but after sitting down, he couldn't say a word of the words he had just thought in his heart, although the mountain lord in front of him felt very peaceful, but he always felt that behind this peace was a rolling murderous aura.

For this title, after hearing it, the clan was obviously stunned for a moment, because he hadn't seen people from other forces for a long time, so even his position as a shogunate had been forgotten, but this general was sealed by Nobunaga, and after Nobunaga sealed it, Honnoji Temple didn't happen, so whether it was him or the retainers in the family, they obviously didn't take this position too seriously. And the people of the Takayama family can not take it seriously, but the Ashina Mori clan does not dare to take it seriously, and now he wants to use this identity to tell the Takayama clan that you are not only the governor of the Takayama family, but also the general who manages the samurai of the world, and you can't do things too casually.

The clan did not refute this title, but asked: "I don't know what Lord Ashina came to this time, but now when the two families are fighting, the Lord came in person, which is really unexpected." ”

"Shogun, this family joined the Mutsu Alliance this time, not to oppose the Lord, but... It's caused by greed for profit.,And Takayama-sama doesn't know.,This Mutsu alliance is not to be an enemy of the Takayama family.,It's just to be able to unite and ask for more benefits when you return to the Takayama family.,In the meantime.,And ask Takayama-sama for forgiveness.。 The Ashina Sheng clan can't take care of other forces now, and knelt directly on the ground, and directly repeated what the best family said that day in front of the Takayama clan, he thinks that as long as he doesn't have the heart to go to war, and he should not be too embarrassed after he has the intention of surrendering.

"Don't you want to be an enemy of your own family, just to ask for more benefits?" This is the first time that the clan has heard of it, because he really doesn't look at Mutsu very much, and he doesn't even pay much attention to the information about this place, for him, it is enough to know the big things, and it doesn't matter if he knows these details or not, after all, those forces of Mutsu can be destroyed in a snap of a finger, just like he doesn't care about whether the ants on the ground are male or female.

And he only knows that those forces of Mutsu have formed an alliance, but he doesn't know what the specific alliance is for, and after listening to what the Ashina Mori clan said, he doesn't think that the other party is deceiving himself, after all, even if the news is too closed, Mutsu should know the gap between them and his own family, if he just wants more benefits, then it makes sense.

It's just that why should I give them more benefits? Give them more benefits, wouldn't that harm the interests of the Gao Shan family.

"Yes, Shogun, that's what they said at the time, and if you don't join this alliance, then the Takayama family will be on the west side, and the Mutsu forces will be on the east, and you will be helpless in the next place."

Seeing the old man in front of him, he almost cried, but he heard the clan say: "Then you came to see me in Odawara this time just to tell me this?" ”

"The general doesn't know, the day before yesterday, he sent his retainers to the Takayama Army to meet the general general, although he didn't see anyone, but your command sent a sentence, saying that it was either to go to war, or give up the territory and let the subordinates come to Odawara Castle in person, and wait for the adults to fall."

The clan couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, his son is really not worry-free, if you see that they are not pleasing to the eye, just eliminate them directly, why insult the other party so much, this is really to find something to do for yourself.

"Since you want more benefits, I want to hear what kind of benefits you want?"

"This..." Ashina Mori pondered for a while, if this is not said well, I am afraid that the Ashina family will really be lost, so after thinking about it for a while, I only heard him answer: "General, the forces of Mutsu and Oku, I just want to... I just want to keep the territory of each family as I do now, and there are no other requirements. ”

"Hmph, in that case, why don't you come here and explain it? Now that I have sent a large army, they still haven't sent anyone to come, so it's hard to think that my mountain army is not a good arrangement? ”

Seeing that the clan was angry, the Ashina Mori clan, who had just sat up and spoke well, quickly knelt down and cried: "Lord General, you are ignorant, please forgive the General, and please forgive the General." ”

"Okay, you don't have to be like this, so let's do it, if you want to spare the Ashina family yourself, it's not impossible, you can send your son to hostage." For the Ashina family, this is already a special kindness, let it send a son as a hostage, this is not too much, really not too much, in this era, this is the most common means to establish a subordinate relationship, if it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't look at Mutsu, then he would definitely not let it go so lightly, but that broken place is simply used for distribution, let his retainers go? It is estimated that no one wants to go, so let's just let them toss by themselves, as long as they don't delay their big things.
