Chapter 135 Tiger Tortoise Conspiracy

At the same time that the clan received Nobunaga's order to return to the army, Anayama Nobujun carried the covenant and left the car simply, with only two retainers under his command, and had set off from Okazaki Castle to Okazaki Castle, since it was a secret alliance, so he did not dare to swagger, and he actually chose a small road to pass through, in order to avoid accidents, so he did not even enter the castle town outside the Imagawa family castle that he passed by, but camped in the wilderness.

In less than ten days, Nobuyoshi Anayama and the other three finally felt outside Okazaki City.

"Standing on the ground?" The two ashigaru standing guard outside Okazaki Castle, seeing that although the three people in front of them had a sword in their waists, their clothes had long been covered with thorns and tree branches, and they thought they were wild samurai who had come to the Matsudaira family, so they spoke very politely.

Seeing that the little ashigaru of the Matsudaira family dared to salute, Anayama Nobuyan was not angry, what kind of identity is he, and he will be like the two little people in front of him, and he has to wait to report his identity, after the name, how dare these two people treat him like this.

However, although he didn't care too much about it, the two retainers under his command didn't do it, in their eyes, the other party was just the subordinate of the ministers of a small country, and these lowly ashigaru shouted at the lord like this, and if they didn't directly slash him, they were already restrained.

"Bastard, this is a martial ......" Before one of the retainers finished speaking, Anayama Nobuyan immediately waved his hand, interrupted it, and said unhappily Shut up in front of the public, shouting so loudly, do you want our identity to be made public?" There is no mistake.

The retainer immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, but fortunately the lord was alert and stopped in time, otherwise, if there were other ninjas sent by the powerful forces to collect information around, it would cause a big disaster because of carelessness.

Thinking of this, I saw that the warrior hurriedly knelt on the ground and said that his subordinates were guilty, and asked the lord to punish him. ”

This scene attracted the attention of many people not far away, although they did not dare to approach the gate of the castle tower, but when they saw that outside the gate, there was actually a wild warrior in tattered clothes, kneeling down for another wild warrior who was even more badly dressed, and saying that the lord forgave the sin, and it was in front of the castle tower, so they were very curious. Passers-by couldn't help but stop, get a little closer, and wait curiously for the next development of things.

Anayama Nobuyan has already been under this stupid retainer, his face is flushed with anger, if it weren't for the fact that now is not the time to attack, he can't wait to scold him, so that he can get out of this evil breath in his chest.

Anayama Nobuyo's eyes did not look at him, but continued to look forward, he couldn't make any moves, so as not to attract more onlookers, only to hear him lower his voice and say fiercely Bastard, don't you stand up for me quickly, do you want everyone to pay attention to us? "There is no mistake.

As soon as the retainer knelt on the ground, he subconsciously wanted to glance around, and saw that the number of onlookers was increasing, and he had already considered it improper, and now he heard the lord's anger, so he hurriedly stood up, retreated aside, lowered his head and did not dare to make any movement, and did not even dare to say anything to explain.

After he stood up, most of the onlookers around him saw that there was no fighting, so they looked away in disappointment. But there are still a few people who are still paying attention to it. And one of the ninjas under the command of the clan is one of them.

When the two defenders of the castle were bored, they saw Anayama Nobuyun arch his hand, smiled and whispered Anayama Nobuyun, the envoy of the Takeda family, if you want to see Matsudaira-sama, please report it quickly. ”

After the two Ashigaru heard that the person in front of them was actually the envoy of the Takeda family, they couldn't help but be stunned, how could the adults of the Takeda family speak so politely? It's not a dream.

Although they have limited knowledge of things other than the Matsudaira family as Ashigaru, they have heard of the prestige of old brands such as Koshin Takeda, Miyoshi, and Echigo Uesugi are strong. There is only one thought in their minds now, that is, to report to the lord quickly, if it is delayed when entering the city, maybe the lord will be angry and his life will be lost.

One of them was the first to come to his senses, and his face no longer had the arrogance he had just now, replaced by a face full of respect and humility, and he only heard him say in a low voice... Wait, my lord, and the villain will go to the city to report to the lord. ”

After saying that, I was about to run inside, but I was stopped by Anayama Nobukun, and I only heard him say and tell Matsudaira-sama, don't put on a show, don't greet it in person, and after the report, I'll just enter it by myself. ”,

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, the villain will definitely bring it." In front of the envoy of the Takeda family, this ashigaru was embarrassed to say the next two words.

Matsudaira Motoyasu was sitting in the living room at the moment, he was worried about the matter of gold and silver, and now in the territory of Mikawa, except for Bihai County and the Oda family, the other seven counties were tightly held by Matsudaira Motoyasu.

But in this way, it leads to a big problem, in the newly acquired territory, there are many wealthy families and Imagawa family generals who have taken the initiative to return to their own family, and after the outbreak of this time, they have also contributed a lot, and now the power of the Zong in the Mikawa country has been completely eradicated, and it should have been time to reward these meritorious people, however, the problem now is that the Matsudaira family has no money, in addition to the 7000 guan money that was blackened by the Takayama clan, the remaining money of the Matsudaira family is about 10,000 guan, But it costs money to repair the city, it costs money to pacify the people, and it costs money to pay for the family's light expenses, and after doing these things, the Matsudaira family has no money at all.

But those wealthy families, the generals can't help but be rewarded, otherwise it won't be long before these people will still rebel and join the Imagawa clan. Matsudaira Motoyasu knew in his heart that the current Matsudaira family must not continue to suffer internal friction, otherwise there would only be a dead end.

And in the face of such a predicament, it is not without a solution, although the Matsudaira family is now short of funds, but it can solve this problem by sealing Zhixing, but Matsudaira Motoyasu has just basically obtained the seven counties of the three rivers, and if he is allowed to reward a large amount of land, he is really a little reluctant.

Just when he was hesitating, he only heard a servant outside the door and said, "My lord, the city guard is light and has something important to ask to see." ”

When Matsudaira Motoyasu was irritable, he was displeased when he saw someone disturbing him, so he said angrily and called him in."

The castle keeper followed timidly behind the attendants, and walked into the living room with his head bowed, not daring to even take a breath.

After he knelt down and saluted, he only heard Matsudaira Motoyasu ask if there was something important, let's talk about it. ”

The ashigaru immediately fell to his knees and said in a panic... Returning to the lord, there was a messenger from the Takeda family named Nobuyojun Anayama outside the door, who asked to see him outside the castle tower. ”

Takeda family emissary? After listening to Matsudaira Motoyasu, he couldn't care about the gaffe, and exclaimed that the mountain plum snow? It's him? Can he explain the purpose of coming to Okazaki Castle? ”

"Back to the lord, Lord Cave Mountain didn't inform his subordinates, but just said... It's just that if you ask to see the lord. ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu stood up violently, and said hurriedly, quickly inform the retainers, and immediately go to the castle tower to greet him. With that, he walked towards the living room.
