When the mother of the small guards just brought people here, Kugi Valley Castle was already ready, the gate of the city was closed, making a cage city, and dozens of relatives of the Kugi Valley family in the city all climbed the city wall, holding weapons in their hands, but they were all very nervous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Where did you come from?" A samurai in the castle who was about forty years old asked, this person was the head of the wealthy clan, Kugi Tani Rokuro.

"Listen to the people of Kugi Valley Castle, we are the army of the Kuroda family, and the army of the Urakami family is now fighting against the main army of the family in Murozu Castle of Harima Province, and as a special force, we are here to attack Bizen Province. We don't want to kill, we want a peaceful acceptance of the country. So give you a pillar of incense time to think about it, I hope you will think about it carefully, don't give up the lives of all the people of a family easily, please be sure to think about it clearly" Now Yamamoto and Rokuro are already familiar with persuasion to surrender, and opening their mouths is a set of rhetoric for surrender.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, no one in the city answered him, but there was a situation where a young man quarreled with his family, and even everyone in the Kuroda family was confused, especially Yamamoto and Rokuro, who were just persuaded to surrender, why did the other party mess up on their own, is this a disagreement between the two factions and infighting? .

In a few moments, the young man jumped off the low wall and ran towards Kuroda's army, shouting "I have no weapons, I'm here to negotiate." ”

If you remember it, before the first battle of Murozu Castle, the striker led by Akashi Keijin once entered the Kugi Valley, and when the Akashi family was reckless, it was this young man, the son-in-law of Kugi Tani Rokuro, who once wanted to kill Akashi Keikin. He was still the one who went out of the city now, and no matter what his actual ability was, at least his courage was enough.

Musato Kobei looked at this bold young man, smiled at everyone and said, "I think this kid is not bad, it's really interesting." ”

When the teenage young man approached, more than a dozen Kuroda soldiers in charge of the guards raised their spears lightly, and their spears were all glowing with cold light, all of which were aimed at the young man.

"Everybody put down their guns, he has no weapons, there's no need to do this, you come closer, I ask you, what's your name?" Musato Kobei pressed his hand, motioned for the ashigaru to put down his gun, and let the teenage young man come to him, and said to him with a smile.

"Report to your lordship, I am the lord of Kugi Valley Castle, the son of Rokuro Kugi Gu and the soldiers of Kugi Tani Rokuro, and I have come to meet the adults of the Kuroda family this time. In the next courage, dare to ask the adult surname and name. Kugiya immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, as if he was a vassal of the Kuroda family, and said respectfully.

"In the Shimokuroda family, the elder of the Shimokuroda family, the surrogate mother of the Sanrong County, you didn't come out of the city just to say hello, you know my name, right?" The mother of the little guard sat on the horse and said condescendingly.

"My lord, please forgive me for being reckless, I came down to surrender to the Kuroda family on behalf of the Kugi Gu family."

"Oh, is Kugiya subservient to my Kuroda family? But you seem to be arguing just now! Can you represent your father, can you represent a people? Musato Kobei said suspiciously.

"My lord, I have just convinced the head of the family that the family is willing to submit to the Kuroda family, and there is absolutely no problem." Kugiya said firmly.

"In that case, why didn't the Kugi Gu family just open the city?" Musato Kobei said playfully.

"My lord, in fact, my Kugiya family is close to Harima Province's Sanrong County, and I have heard a lot about the Kuroda family's actions. The virtue and politics of the five princes and five people of the Kuroda family, the Kugiya family has admired for a long time. But surrendering to the Kuroda family can get 20% of the land, but it needs to be transferred to other places, and the people in this family, including the head of the family, are still undecided, after all, the Kugi Gu family has been recuperating here for more than 300 years, and most of the family is reluctant to leave here, so ......" Speaking of this, the Kugi Valley cultivator showed an indescribable look on his face.

"I already see what you mean." Musato Kobei interrupted Kugiya Shubei's words. He already knows the meaning of the Kugi Valley Soldiers, to put it bluntly, as long as the Kugi Gu family is not allowed to be transferred, it is best to add 20% of the land, and the Kugi Gu family is willing to surrender to the Kuroda family, and is willing to be the leading party.

Musato Kobei is also thinking about whether to do this thing for the Kuroda family, you must know that if you don't agree to their conditions, you may have to fight a bloody battle, especially when the other side has been prepared, although there is no problem in taking this city, but it will cause unnecessary losses, which is what Musato Kobei is unwilling to accept.

But if he accepted his conditions, he was afraid that the wealthy family behind him would think that the Kuroda family was easy to talk to, and put forward various conditions, which was definitely not a situation that the Kuroda family was willing to face, and the wealthy family in the new territory had to replace it with the wealthy family of the original territory of Harima Country in a large area, this is something that Kuroda Vocational Takashi said before the army, and he really can't go against it.

"Mother-sama, there is a word below." Seeing that Musato Kobei was thinking and knowing that he was hesitating, Yamamoto and Rokuro suddenly stepped forward and said at this time.

"Oh! With Rokuro, you can just say what you have! Musato Kobei said,

Yamamoto and Rokuro were assigned to Sanrong County by Koji Vocational High School, and recently they have been helping Muri Kobei to pacify the people of the wealthy clan in the territory, and the 800 troops have been put together, and his credit is not small. In addition, in the strategies of Ako County, Sayo County and Sanrong County that Musato Kobei heard and witnessed with his own eyes, Yamamoto and Rokuro are very active, so he still agrees with Yamamoto and Rokuro's ability. Now that Yamamoto and Rokuro suddenly spoke, they must have his purpose, so they might as well take a look first.

"Kugi Valley is repairing, right?" Yamamoto and Rokuro said with a smile.

"Hey!" Kugiya immediately replied to Yamamoto.

"How big is your Kugi family's territory?" Yamamoto and Rokuro suddenly asked, and the question seemed to have nothing to do with submission. In fact, when Yamamoto persuaded him to surrender in the past, he had already paid attention to the entire valley, although the terrain was dangerous, but the area was very narrow, and he estimated that the Kugi Gu family would not have much land.

"One hundred stones" Kugiya Xiubing said embarrassedly, there is no need for him to tell lies, some things will be known as long as they are checked, and if this kind of thing is faked, it will only outweigh the losses.

"Your family has lasted for three hundred years? Is there only a hundred stone of land? Yamamoto and Rokuro deliberately raised their voices and said mercilessly.

"This ...... My lord, it is exactly, this family only has this 100 stone land. "Speaking of which, the Kugi Valley cultivators themselves are a little embarrassed.

"Do you know why?" Yamamoto and Rokuro suddenly said.

"This, this...... I don't know" may be that Yamamoto's language jumps a little bit, and the Kugiya Shubei is now a little confused.

"Let me ask you, Lord Kugi Tani Shubing, why do you Kugi Gu family keep guarding this valley? Don't you Kugiya family have any ambitions? I, Yamamoto and Rokuro, were just a commoner-born ronin a year ago, and after leaving the Kuroda family, I was loved by the lord, and I now have land of 200 koku. Yamamoto and Rokuro talked eloquently, and when he talked about the last two hundred stones, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and looked straight at the Kugi Valley Cultivator.

"My lord, you got two hundred stones a year?" Kugiya said in surprise.

"I also went to the Kuroda family with him, and now I also have two hundred stones." Sasaki Nagahide and Yamamoto and Rokuro on the side stayed together for a long time, knowing that he would never talk casually, and knowing that he was definitely not here to show off, so they also said.

"This ......" Kugiya Shubing didn't know what he was going to say, did the Kuroda family have too much land? Why are these two Kuroda retainers who look as big as themselves able to get two hundred stone of land, which is twice as much as their own family! Can you easily get your hands on it just for a year?
