"Husband-kun, if Takayama-sama is really that kind of affectionate person, then he will not help Sakuma-sama-sama to capture Tanba and Tango. After all, at that time, Takayama-sama didn't know that his brother would agree to Tokugawa-sama's request to transfer the two territories, so Takayama-sama's help to Sakuma-sama was not purposeful. ”

"Ashi ......"

"What's the matter, husband, could it be that Ah Shi said something wrong."

"No, I just thought that if Aichi was a man, he would be a great samurai." I saw Asai Nagamasa say with a serious face.

"Husband, you're joking again, if Ah Shi is a man, how can he marry an adult." Mayor Ah covered his sleeves and said with a smile.

"Then Mrs. Ashi means that I want to meet the messenger of the Tayama family." Asai Nagamasa continued to laugh and said.

But what he didn't expect was that Ah Shi not only put away the smile on his face, but sighed and said: "Although the husband is afraid that Ah Shi is worried and has not said anything, but Ah Shi can't see the current situation of his family, adults should really think about the future of the two of us and our children." After speaking, Ah Shi didn't say anything, just made a shallow bow and withdrew.

Asai Nagamasa saw endless sorrow on Aichi's face.

And he finally made a decision, Takayama-sama is probably the only person in the Oda family who is willing to speak for himself, if he misses it, then the future of the Asai family ...... As for the character of the Gaoshan Clan, it's not something that I can think about now.

Thinking of this, Asai Nagamasa immediately ordered someone to ask Hosokawa Fujitaka to wait in the assessment room, while he changed his clothes and sat in meditation. Adjust the state to the best.

This time, Asai Nagamasa did not let his retainers accompany him to attend. Because even if an agreement is reached with the Takayama family. It is impossible to put it on the surface, the Takayama clan has Nobunaga's trust, and they form gangs, Nobunaga just turns a blind eye, and the family is too sensitive, once the news leaks, it touches Nobunaga's nerves, which is equivalent to giving Nobunaga an excuse. So he thinks it's better not to make a big show.

"See Asai-sama in Shimohosokawa Fujitaka." As soon as Asai Nagamasa appeared, he said while seeing Hosokawa Fujitaka saluting.

"There's no need to be polite for Hosokawa-sama to come from afar, but I don't know what I'm doing this time." Asai Nagamasa didn't plan to go around in circles, so he asked directly.

"Back to Lord Asai, I came here this time, not for the sake of the main family, but for the Shibata family's business." Speaking of this, Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at Asai Nagamasa, only to see that the other party frowned inadvertently, and it seemed that Shibata-sama really didn't like it very well in his heart. But since he didn't speak. Then he can go on, and it's not a bad start for him. Along the way, at the beginning, he thought of at least five possibilities, and even the possibility of mentioning Shibata-sama to arouse the anger of the other party came up with a countermeasure. But now the other party only frowned slightly, this was already the best result he could think of. As long as the other party can let himself continue, then he has the confidence to move the other party, and he is afraid that the other party will not even give him a chance to speak.

Seeing that Asai Nagamasa did not interrupt, Hosokawa Fujitaka continued: "I can't hide it, this time I came down on the orders of the lord to ask Asai to send troops to help the Shibata family......"

"Hmph, help the Shibata family? You're not kidding, after saving the Shibata Katsu family, is it to let him ease up and continue to deal with the family? Do you think that with just one word from the Takayama clan, you can mobilize my Asai family's army to fight? It's so naïve. Although Asai Nagamasa was very angry on the surface, he had another idea in his heart, at least now he had figured out one thing, that is, as Aichi said, the Takayama clan was not that kind of person. As long as this is confirmed, then everything will return to the original point, at least he is no longer in a low place in his heart, but before the problem of Shibata Katsuya is solved, he will not act rashly, of course, he knows that the matter about Shibata Katsuya may be solved today, otherwise this Hosokawa Fujitaka will never mention it rashly in front of him.

If the key was bluffed by Asai Nagamasa, then he would not be Hosokawa Fujitaka, so when Asai Nagamasa finished speaking with an angry expression, Hosokawa Fujitaka did not flinch, but continued: "Lord Asai, please calm your anger, since my lord can be sent down, he has already considered it all, how can he embarrass Lord Asai." ”

Asai Nagamasa had already had the heart to join the Takayama faction, so he also got off the donkey, and even his attitude changed, only to hear him ask: "Since Takayama-sama has thought about it so thoroughly, then I can listen to it." ”

"In that case, then I'll continue to analyze for Lord Asai below.,It's a well-known thing that my lord and Lord Shibata are friends.,And it's also close to the adult.,But the contradiction between the two adults has been around for a long time.,And now there's an opportunity to improve the relationship between the two families.,That is, the adults help the Shibata family resist Uesugi.,Once the adults help the Shibata family at the most critical moment.,Then Shibata-sama can't be grateful to the adults.,In this way,The contradictions between them can be resolved., And the name of righteousness will also spread throughout the world. Hosokawa Fujitaka never mentioned the purpose of wanting to pull him into the Takayama camp, because he knew that once this word came out of his mouth, it would fall into the inferiority, of course, even if he didn't say it, with the intelligence of Asai Nagamasa, he could guess it.

Of course, Asai Nagamasa would not readily agree just because Hosokawa Fujitaka said it casually, and then let the army under his command spill blood, if this was the case, the Asai family would have been wiped out countless times.

So I only heard Asai Nagamasa say: "Having said that, I think that if it is just to gain the gratitude of the Shibata family, then the price that the family will have to pay is too great, and the reward is pitiful, such an unequal thing, do you think I will do it?" As far as I know, this time the Uesugi family invaded the army of 25,000 people in Vietnam, and Kenshin Gong is personally out of the battle, looking at the Shibata family, due to this defeat, coupled with the fact that the Shibata Katsuya is nowhere to be found, the Shibata defenders must be demoralized, and there are 10,000 troops, but how can they block the attack of the Uesugi army, so that once the family comes to the aid of the army, it is equivalent to facing Uesugi independently, and the strategy of Kenshin Gong must be clear to you, even if the family can get away with the offensive of the Uesugi army, it will inevitably cause heavy losses, Maybe there is still the possibility of the entire army being wiped out, and at such a big price, may I ask Hosokawa-sama, what can my Asai family get? ”

Although Asai Nagamasa's words were questioning himself, Hosokawa Fujitaka not only did not feel anxious, but further deepened the message of success. In his opinion, the other party's words are not to refuse, but to talk about conditions, and if he can do this, it shows that he still has plans to go to the army, and he is not afraid that you will put forward conditions, but he is afraid that you will refuse directly, as long as he does not refuse everything, it will be easy to do.

"Lord Asai is right, not only you, even if you are any samurai, you will never do this, but my lord, do you really think that the family has nothing to do, will make this decision, since you say this, then it will be clear below, this time my lord really wants to alleviate the conflict between you and the Shibata family, but he will definitely not let the Asai family fight alone, and even the adult led the army into Yuezhong is just a show, and the army under your command has no possibility of contacting the Uesugi army at all, I am afraid that not long before the adult army left, Uesugi will return to Echigo. ”

Hearing this, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but be interested, if he could relieve the current tense relationship with the Shibata family without loss or little loss, then he had no reason to refuse, after all, Shibata Katsuya was also able to speak in front of Oda Nobunaga, but the question was, how could Uesugi Kenshin obediently listen to the words of the clan and retreat to Echigo.

He knew that this time the 16,000 troops sent by the Takayama family had been completely dispersed by the Uesugi family, and although the Takayama family still had more than 10,000 troops, these troops still had to guard against the Kantojo region, and it was impossible to draw troops for the northern front, so the other party said it so easily, which made him a little puzzled.

Hosokawa Fujitaka saw that Asai Nagamasa was attracted by what he said, and his heart was settled, only to hear him speak again: "Lord Asai, you won't forget your family, right? As long as there is the Takayama family, then the Uesugi family is doomed to be in vain this time. Before the subordination, the lord had ordered the commander of the ninja army to lead hundreds of shinobi to infiltrate Echigo, and now that the Uesugi family army is outside, Echigo must be underdefended, once these ninjas arrive in Echigo, then how can Uesugi Kenshin not retreat. "Hosokawa Fujitaka said that the number of ninjas sent more than doubled, in order to strengthen Asai Nagamasa's heart.

"Although the Takayama family ninja army is elite, but if there are only a few hundred people, I think that this time the Takayama family is very meritorious, although Uesugi Kenshin led the army out, but he must have made arrangements, so I am not optimistic about this assistance." The reason why he said this was entirely because his thoughts had fallen into a misunderstanding, and he also thought that the Takayama clan wanted to use these hundreds of ninjas to take advantage of the Uesugi army to sneak attack Kasuga Mountain Castle, if this was the case, then he believed that it would definitely be the Takayama family who failed, after all, it was the residence of Uesugi Kenshin, and when he was not there, it was definitely the focus of Echigo's defense, and there was almost no possibility of being sneak attacked.

And once the sneak attack fails, just a few hundred ninjas can make a lot of waves, and when the time comes, the goal will not be achieved, it is not necessary for the family to fight with the Uesugi family independently, once it is out of control, then not only the Shibata family is finished, even the Asai family will not have a good time in the future, and more importantly, once defeated, it is equivalent to giving Oda Nobunaga an excuse to reduce the seal.
