Chapter 40: The Kuroda Family's Customs

"Hey!" After receiving Goto Katsuki's order, the samurai of the Goto family immediately turned around and left, and went to inform the retainers and samurai of the family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Goto Katsuki looked at the direction of Kinma Castle, which was smoking, and said to himself worriedly: "Maybe this time my family is in danger, Kuroda Vocational High School, Kirin'er, and the famous general of the Western Kingdom!" I want to know, how capable are you? ”

Because of the urgency of the situation, after receiving the notice, all the important ministers of the Goto family came to the Imperial Pavilion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, smoke has just been lit in the direction of Kanama Castle to warn that the army led by Kuroda Vocational High School should have entered the territory of the family. It's been a long time since the warning smoke came from the direction of Jinma Castle before, but I'm afraid that Jinma City is no longer safe at this time, what do you think this family should do in the face of this invasion of the Kuroda family! Goto Katsuki looked at the people below and said solemnly.

"Father, the child thinks that the family should fight the Kuroda family. Because judging from the process of the rise of the Kuroda family, it has never stopped fighting abroad, and in just a few years, it has risen in the western country, so the Kuroda family is definitely insatiable.

And the child heard that as long as the person who surrendered to the Kuroda family, not only would he have to accept the conditions of being transferred, but he would also be fined nearly half of the land (this is a rumor of the Maori family), and my Goto family has been rooted in the country of Mimasaka for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to have today's foundation, if it is really as the rumors say, the family must not surrender to the Kuroda family! Goto Katsuki's sister-in-law, Goto Motomasa, was the first to stand up at this time and said to Goto Katsuki and the samurai at home.

It's not surprising that Goto Motomasa said this, you must know that he is the current first heir to the Goto family and the only concubine of Goto Katsuki. As long as there is no major incident, the entire Goto family will belong to him Goto Motomasa in the future, so in his eyes, the Goto family is extremely important.

Goto Motomasa felt that if he submitted to the Kuroda family, it was estimated that it would really be like what was rumored to be. The land you own in the future will be reduced by half. He already regards all the land as his own, and if half of it is taken away by the Kuroda family at once, he can't accept it, this is his lifeline! So at this time, he Goto Motomasa was resolutely opposed to surrender, and the land must not be given to the Kuroda family for nothing.

"Brother, please don't jump to conclusions, I've heard some news here, and now I'll tell you about it. It is said that this time the Kuroda family sent troops from two directions, and everyone already knows this. One of the roads is led by Kirin Kuroda Vocational High School himself, and it should be the people who are now attacking the main family Jinma City! On the other hand, it was the famous military master Shigeharu Takenaka who was personally invited by Kuroda Vocational High School from Omi Province, and this person is said to have the reputation of Kusunoki and is also a person who should not be underestimated! This two-way soldier and horse,After entering the country of Misaku, it only took about ten days to occupy the land of Eida、Yoshino、Katsunan、Katsukita four counties.,And the neighboring Yasui family has also been destroyed by the Kuroda family.,Brother,And all the adults.,How is this family compared to the Yasui family? Goto Katsuki's younger brother Goto Fuji immediately said to everyone at this time.

When Goto Fuki asked at this time, everyone was really silent. There is no doubt that in the country of Mimasaka, the Goto family is definitely a relatively large force. But if you really say that compared with the Yasui family, it's actually only a limited strength, even between the best.

The news of the Kuroda family's attack on the Yasui family, they actually already knew about it, but they didn't want to say it deliberately. Moreover, it is said that the Kuroda family's capture of Yasui Castle did not take much effort (these are the messages spread by the Kuroda family's concentric members).

The Yasui family, who were on a par with the Goto family, were easily wiped out by the Kuroda family, so when the Goto family faced the Kuroda family, how sure was it that they could resist the Kuroda family's attack? At least in the eyes of Goto Fuki and some low-level retainers, it should not be possible to be sure even in the cage city, after all, the Yasui family is also on the same side of the cage city! And it seems that the facts have proven that Cage Castle does not seem to have much effect on the Kuroda family.

"Uncle, what do you mean......" Goto Motomasa asked tentatively.

"Brother, and all the adults, I think that the first thing that the family should do is to figure out the Kuroda family's requirements first." Fukuki Goto slowly spoke his thoughts.

"What are the conditions of the Kuroda family?" Katsuki Goto asked.

"Hey! If the conditions of the Kuroda family are not too harsh, I think that the submission of the family is not impossible. You must know that the Kuroda family is developing very rapidly now, as if it is about to become the number one force in the western country, which everyone can see, so there is no need to say more. If you follow the Kuroda family, even if the family is fined some land by the Kuroda family, it will be okay to think it will be okay.

As long as the family keeps its retainers and elite soldiers, and follows the Kuroda family to conquer in the future, there will be a lot of opportunities to get more land through war exploits in the future. But everyone, first of all, we must gather all the soldiers in the domain to come to Shibayama Mountain Castle, and only if we show our strength, or usefulness, will the Kuroda family give our family preferential treatment! If you submit directly, I'm afraid you won't be taken seriously," Goto said.

"What Goto-sama said is true, but will the Kuroda family come over and persuade the family to surrender then?" Ando Katsuhisa, an important minister of the Goto family, said suspiciously at this time.

"Lord Anton, I think there is no need to worry about this at all. If you're worried about this, your home is completely safe. Sitting at home on the other side, the important minister Jiang Jian Shenggao said at this time.

"Oh! Why did Emi-sama say that there was no need to worry? Goto Katsuki asked suspiciously at this time.

"My lord, because I know that the Kuroda family has a convention, that's why I say so." Jiang Jian Shenggao said with a smile at this time.

"What convention?" Katsuki Goto continued to ask.

"That is, no matter what the other party's situation is, as long as the Kuroda family is in an absolutely advantageous situation, they will definitely persuade the other party to surrender. It is said that more than a year ago, before the Kuroda family obtained Tsurushou Castle, he had persuaded Mimura Bichumori, who had clashed with the Kuroda family many times and had been forced to a dead end, but in the end, Mimura Bichumori saved everyone in the city with his own life. Even the Kuroda family of the three villages will still give a chance, let alone the main family? Emi Katsutaka said to Goto Katsuki. (To be continued.) )
