Chapter 231: The Counterattack of the Yuan Family (14)

Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, the sky is full of stars, and tomorrow is another good weather. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Changzong Yuanqin's face was solemn, a little pale, and he muttered in a low voice: "An Yi Guohu is still alive, and what I didn't expect is that he still has the strength to come to take revenge, so Gangfeng City is in danger." "Yes, he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to block the attack of the two major groups of the east and the west with Gangfeng City.

However, Changzong was unwilling in his heart, he thought about it, walked out of the master bedroom, and saw that the defenders along the way were all full of frustration and despair, looking desperate, he didn't step forward to reprimand them, it was none of their business.

The head of Changzong and my department found Yoshida Takayori, and saw Yoshida Takayori clasping his arms, spreading his legs, looking up at the sky, and caught a glimpse of Changzong and my head relatives coming in, and hurriedly came up and saluted, and said, "I heard that there is news coming from outside the city, what is it?" ”

The head of Changzong and my department sighed: "Bad news, An Yi Guohu is here." ”

In the past few days, there has been a lot of bad news, and Yoshida Takayori is no longer as excited as he was at the beginning, oh said that he knows, for the people of Gangfeng City, there is not much difference between having an Aki National Tiger outside the city and having one less Aki Tiger.

The head of the Changzong and my department sighed gloomily and said: "Now that we are surrounded in Gangfeng City, what can we do except hold on to the city and wait for the ethereal hope?" Even if we had the heart to surrender, but that Tuju Zongshan had the advantage, and with his strength, it would be easy to capture Gangfeng Castle, how could he accept our surrender? ”

Yoshida Takayori's expression suddenly became solemn, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the head relatives of the Changzong and my department, and asked in a low voice: "Lord, your intention is to surrender?" ”

Changzong and my head were held without speaking, and after a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "What the situation is now, you and I both know it, but this Gangfeng City was built by my father brick by brick, and it has been lost once, I don't want to, I don't want to lose it again from my hands." If I exchange my life for Okayama Castle and it still belongs to the Chozong clan, am I willing to surrender to Doi Sozan in Kaejo? ”

Yoshida Takayori stared at the head of the Chozong clan in amazement, and he didn't catch his breath for a long time. Although he still hadn't completely calmed down, he tried his best to control himself and try not to show it. If you calm down and think about it carefully, the words of the head of the Changzong department are not unreasonable. It is true that now that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and us, since the rapid defeat of the Changzong and our department, no one is sure whether Gangfeng City can hold on. Muneyama Doi was a brave warrior who was both civil and military, and almost all of the Tosa people were on their side. In this cage battle, the defeat has been decided.

Then, the life of the head of the Changzong clan and the fate of the Changzong I clan have to make a choice, from a personal point of view, life is important, but from the overall situation, it is obvious that the fate of the family is more important, as long as the Changzong and my clan can continue to exist, who can guarantee that there will not be the next master of Zhongxing. As long as there is a family to survive, there is hope.

The head of the Changzong clan suddenly bowed deeply to Yoshida Takayori and said: "I think about it, I can only ask you to go to an army for a trip, as long as you can protect the survival of the Changzong and my clan, you can talk about any conditions, and you can talk about it at any price?" ”

Yoshida Takayori had already guessed the purpose of his coming when the first sentence of the head of the sect of Chozong said his first words, he was silent, hesitated for a long time, nodded slightly, knelt on the ground, and said, "The minister understands!" ”

Early the next morning, Yoshida Takayoshi went out of the castle under a white flag, and soon received it in front of Doi Muneyama.

Yoshida Takayori told Doi Sozan his intention, because of the siege of Okatoyo Castle, there is no way back, and the shortage of food in the city, morale and military morale are low, panic, Nagamune and my relatives have the heart to surrender, but because it is difficult to gain the trust of Doi Sozan, worried that the coalition will settle accounts after the fall, Nagamune's personal life and death are small, and the survival of the family is big, so he is hesitant. For this reason, Yoshida Takayori asked Doi Sozan whether he could agree to accept the surrender of the head relatives of Chosamune, and if so, what were the conditions, and whether he could guarantee the survival of the Chosho Ibu clan.

Tui Zongshan heard Doi Zongshan's cry, and saw that victory was within reach, and his mood was very good, and he did not have the slightest doubt that the head of Changzong and my department wanted to surrender, because he learned the news of the arrival of An Yi Guohu. If they don't surrender again, Aki Kunihu, Motoyama Shigeru, and Xiangzong Ibu Taiji, who have a long-standing grudge against the Chozong Ibu clan, will launch a strong attack, and with the morale of the army of Gangfeng Castle, I am afraid that the city will soon be broken. This expedition to Chosamune's first family, the Ichijo clan naturally has his purpose, one is to insert the sphere of influence into Higashi-Tosa, to govern Higashi-Tosa, and the other is to hand over the name to the Date family. Seeing the convergence of Yasui Kunihu, Motoyama Shigeru, Kamune Ibu Taiji and others, Doi Soyama naturally did not want to give them the credit for breaking the castle again, if Okatoyo Castle surrendered to him, then he would have a nail to insert into Higashitosa, and the question of the survival of the Chozong Ibu clan would not be a problem.

Doi Soyama thought about it for a while, and asked Yoshida Takayori to tell the head of Chozong with his thoughts and views that he could not only ensure the survival of the Chozong and I clan, but also ensure the ownership of Okayo Feng Castle, as long as the head of the head of the Chozong and my department apologized in front of the castle.

Doi Soyama believes that Chosō Ibu Genko can still accept his point of view after hearing his opinion, for the Sengoku people, the survival of the family is always the first priority, and the concept of the largest family is also an ordinary samurai. After the defeat, the head of the family is responsible for the defeat and apologizes, and the victor does not rush to kill them all, so that the family name of the losing side will survive.

The head of Changzong's department received the approval of Toi Zongshan, and he did not mention any more conditions, but only asked for two days to leave the city at noon on the 22nd and commit suicide by cutting his stomach in front of the public, and his request was not excessive at all.

Nagamune's head relatives surrendered to Doi Soyama, Tsuno Dingkatsu, Kataoka Shigemitsu, Satake Yoshiyuki and others looked at this matter with an indifferent attitude, and there was a faint sense of joy, at least there was no need to die, if you still want to fight, the first to attack will be their servants.

Kokubunji's Aki Kunito, Motoyama Shigeru, and Komun's Taiji were extremely resentful, especially the first two, because they knew that Doi Sozan's acceptance of the surrender of the head relatives of Chosō and my tribe meant that Gangtoyojo Castle would be subordinate to Ichijo in the future.

However, they had no choice but to listen to Doi Zongshan's words and suspend the attack, but they still went to watch the ceremony with their retinues, and the main purpose was naturally to fight for the ownership of the spoils. (To be continued.) )
