Only half an hour after Yasutomi Mori subdued the Kuroda family, Kankawa Motokuma, the head of another influential and veteran wealthy family in the Sanki country, and the owner of the Hiragon Castle Lord, also came to Katsuga Castle and expressed his desire to submit to the Kuroda family.

Speaking of the Hanchuan family, there is a lot of hatred with the An Fu clan who has just surrendered. In that year, after the rise of the Tokawa clan, a branch of the Ueda family, he began to compete with the Yasutomi clan for the Sanuki country. As the head of the Hankawa family at that time, Hankawa Motomasa's father, Hankawa Motomasa, did not hesitate to take the Hankawa family and join the side of the Shikawa family. It dealt a heavy blow to the Yasutomi clan, which had already sunset, and indirectly led to the battle between the Tokawa clan and the Yasutomi clan, which ended with the defeat of the Yasutomi clan and the Tokawa clan's nominal domination of Sanuki Province.

In the third year of Daei (1523), Yasufu Shengfang was defeated by the Shihe family and was forced to submit to the Shihe family. In the 6th year of Daiei (1526), with the assistance of reinforcements from Miyoshi Gencho, Keiji Tokawa began to purge the territory of Sanki Province, and at the same time defeated the Kagawa clan, the Kosai clan, and the Kankawa clan of the great clans in the country, and gained the control of Sanki Province as a whole.

In the ninth year of Astronomy (1541), the Hankawa family and the Yasutomi clan were two difficult brothers, and the conflict intensified because of the problem of territory. Hankawa Motomasa moved the castle from Ikenai Castle to the Castle of the Dawn. After that, both families existed as subordinates of the Ten Rivers family, and there were still conflicts from time to time. After all, the two have been fighting each other for nearly a hundred years, and it is still difficult to resolve it simply.

Around the tenth year of Astronomy (1542), because the Kankawa clan did not obey the control of the Shikawa family, the Kankawa family's residence in Ikeuchi Castle was attacked by Shikawa Ichicun, and Kankawa Motomasa and his subordinates resisted desperately. During the battle, Kamogawa Motomasa's retainer Kamobe Kamanai Saemon and his brother Genji led a man to break into the Ichikun main camp and pierce the left wrist of the then young Tokawa Ichiku. After Shihe Yicun killed the two brothers, he won the nickname of "Ghost Ten Rivers" (also known as "Ghost Ten Rivers" and "Yaksha Ten Rivers") because of his bravery.

Kankawa Motomasa, who was in an embarrassment because of this defeat in the field, asked the shogunate to mediate, or Hosokawa Harumoto mediated between him, so that the Tokawa family and the Kankawa family could reach peace. It's just that as a result of this harmony, Shihe Ichicun withdrew his troops and returned, and the Hanchuan clan surrendered.

This time, the Kankawa family surrendered to the Kuroda family, and as a sign of respect, they also presented the famous sword "Snake Cutting Maru" and dedicated this knife to Kuroda Zhitaka.

For this knife, Kuroda still likes it very much, and after testing it on the spot, it turned out that it is indeed a good knife. The reason why Kuroda was happy was that he could take this knife and give it to Dansheng Iwa Sezo for them to study.

If Kankawa Motokai knew, the Kuroda family would use their family treasure as experimental materials, and I don't know how he would feel. Of course, this is also a famous sword, and the technicians of the Kuroda family will not do anything about it, but just study the process.

Regarding the historical grievances between the Anfu clan and the Hankawa clan, Kuroda didn't want to care about it, after all, after the battle, it would be good to keep the two families far apart and not get along with each other.

What I didn't expect was that there was a coincidence that the two families of the Azumi clan and the Hankawa clan actually met in Katsuga Castle, and it was the kind of enemy who met. Seeing each other with hundreds of years of grievances, the people of the two families didn't care where this was, and immediately wanted to fight in the city.

Fortunately, at this time, Mu Guoxin and Mu Xinzheng, father and son, passed by with a team from here to maintain law and order in the city. Seeing that more than a dozen people from both sides were about to make a move in the city, how could Mu Guoxin let them fight. Two hundred people rushed up and surrounded the two families in the center.

The two families of the Yasutomi clan and the Hanchuan clan, who were surrounded by the team, finally remembered where this was. This is Katsuga Castle, where the Kuroda family is currently based in Sanuki Province, not their own domain, nor is it a wilderness that no one wants. On the land of the Kuroda family, the two families who have clearly surrendered to the Kuroda family cannot use force here.

Knowing that they were surrounded, the two families finally knew that they were afraid. Especially seeing the complete armor of the Kuroda family's soldiers, as well as the spear head glowing with cold light, I am afraid that the low-level samurai of the two families may not have such weapons and armor.

The people of the two families were silent at this time, but fortunately, Mu Guoxin also knew that the two families had surrendered to the Kuroda family, so he didn't do anything to the two families, so he immediately sent someone to send the two families away.

After that, Maki Guoxin reported the matter to Kuroda Zhitaka, and Kuroda still attached more importance to this, because the decisive battle with the Miyoshi family had not yet begun, and he did not want two forces under his command to be in harmony with each other.

Fortunately, this time Kuroda brought Yamamoto Takatsu, so Kuroda immediately found Yamamoto Takatsu and handed over the matter to him.

That night, the Kuroda family hosted the Yasutomi clan and the Kankawa clan at a banquet, but when the two families came to the Imperial Pavilion and met again, it turned out that it was not Kuroda Yotaka who sat on the main seat, but Yamamoto Takatsu, the head of the Kuroda family, who hosted the banquet in the side hall.

The people of the Anfu clan and the Hanchuan clan did not dare to use force in front of Yamamoto Takaquan in the Imperial Pavilion, after all, there were nearly 500 elites of the Kuroda family guarding the safety of the Imperial Pavilion, and if they made a slight move, they might become minced meat on the ground. However, if you don't use force, it doesn't mean that the two families can get along harmoniously, at least the two families sitting on both sides of the house, either they are glaring angrily, or they are pretending not to see it, the corners of Yamamoto Takashi's mouth curled, and he shook his head with a smile.

An Fu Shengding here, in addition to the eldest son An Fu Shengmao brought, there are also Shihe Sheng Gong and Liuche Zong Zhan.

Hankawa Motokumi took his younger brother Kankawa Mitsunaga, as well as his subordinates Oishi Motonobu and Heda Daikaisuke.

There are four people on both sides, and eight people are facing each other in pairs, and when they have their own performances, it seems interesting in the eyes of Yamamoto Takaquan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a big day for the two families to join the Kuroda family, and I think the two families have had a hatred for many generations before! Therefore, the lord specially asked me to invite the people of the two families to come to the banquet on his behalf because he wanted to tell you something. ”

"If there's anything going on, please tell me about it." An Fu Shengding said respectfully, but after finishing speaking, he squinted at Hanchuan Yuangai, as if to say, old boy, do you see it, I first answered the words of Lord Yamamoto Ryuquan, you have already lost.

"Lord Yamamoto, if you have any orders, as long as you can do it, my Hanchuan family will definitely do it." The corners of Hanchuan Yuan's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at An Fu Shengding, how is it? If you're good, I'll be more ruthless than you. (To be continued.) )
