The reason for Zhengheng's refusal is really untenable. Now everyone can see that the chaotic battle between Niko Haruhisa and the Shingu Party, even if he defeats the Shingu Party, he is greatly injured and unable to fight, and Maori Yuan dies of illness, which directly leads to a great decline in the power of the Maori family.

The details of the battle between the Date family and Mori Motosashi and Niko Haruma have long been spread all over the world, and although most of the news heard by the common people is false, there is really nothing to deceive for those who have a heart. Although it is not enough to fully know the details, the basic casualties can still be found clearly, after the two battles, the Date family suffered less than 1,000 casualties, and the battle dead were less than 300 people, and they were completely defeated by Maori Motoshi and Niko Haruhisa, both of which shocked the world again and again.

After sorting out his mood, Leng Quan Longfeng secretly sighed, gave a deep salute, and said: "This time, my lord sent me and others to come, first, to greet Lord Kibi Taishou, and secondly, to work hard to form a Taolongfang encirclement. As the foreign minister said earlier, in order to consolidate the Nagato and the perimeter defense, it was necessary to meet the various demands of the young people in the two countries, and at least to improve their salaries, so that it was inevitable to launch a war of aggression against foreign countries. Yes, Moji Port is under the blockade of my lord, although my lord is unable to go ashore, but Tao Longfang also does not want to attack Bunzen and Chikuzen, his main direction of attack is only Iwami and Yasui, this time my lord sent me to discuss this matter with the adults in detail. ”

Hearing Leng Quan Takaho say this, Zheng Heng showed a smile, in fact, before they were in the future, he had already pondered the intentions of the two, and Ouchi Yoshitaka obviously wanted to use him to contain most of Ouchi Yoshinaga's energy. Then burst into Nagato. Back in power.

For the cold spring Longfeng. Masahiro still values it a lot, but for Yoshitaka Ouchi in the mouth of Takatoyo Ryozumi, it is obvious that he is a little contemptuous of the head of the family who lost his home and fled to Kitakyushu, in the eyes of Masahiro, Ouchi Yoshitaka is not a qualified head of the family who can survive in the Warring States Period.

Zheng Heng rarely agreed with Lengquan Longfeng's Jianyi, but he didn't care about the expressions of the two at all, and said to himself: "That's not a bad strategy." But forgive me for not accepting it, so please go back and tell Ouchi like this. A few months ago, Owari Mamoru sent an envoy to Hirochu Mikawamori to come and reach a preliminary no-war agreement with our side, if only a few months have passed, he ignores the agreement signed earlier, and wantonly violates it, it is really rude to the extreme. ”、

The no-war agreement between the Date family and Hirochu Takaho is a secret treaty. It is not public, and outsiders do not know. Leng Quan Longfeng only learned from the parties today that the two sides still had such constraints, which obviously caught him off guard.

Masahiro continued: "My family and Owari Mamoru have reached a preliminary no-war agreement, I am not a treacherous person, and this no-war agreement is still valid until Owari Mamoru does not violate the agreement between the two sides, so it is really difficult for us to agree to the encirclement proposed by you, and I would like to convey my apologies to Ouchisuke on my behalf." ”

Leng Quan Longfeng's expression was embarrassed, he was originally a noble person who believed in loyalty and righteousness, and he really couldn't say anything about letting others break his oath, but the eyes of Youtian Longji, who was sitting next to him, lit up, and he heard the loopholes in Zhengheng's words, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Kibi Taishou, if the traitor Tao Longfang violates the no-war agreement first, will he have no scruples, and he can form an encirclement with us to deal with Tao Longfang together." ”

Leng Quan Takatsu's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that the vulgar-looking Youda Ryuji was also a thoughtful person, so he couldn't help but be impressed, and looked at Zhengheng sincerely. Zhengheng listened to Ryuji Youda's question, and said slowly: "I have always taken righteousness as the criterion, if Owari Mori tears up the no-war agreement between the two sides first, then I will mention the righteous army to personally levy it, so that he can understand that only righteousness can straighten out the affairs of the world." ”

People who are familiar with Zhengheng, who can listen to Zhengheng's righteous words, will definitely scoff at it, if he can really do what he says, he will not sit on the Jibei Four Kingdoms today, and can only nest in Tang Song to continue to be his little tyrant. Leng Quan Longfeng listened to Zhengheng's generous statement, and he couldn't help but look at Zhengheng again, what an extraordinary general! With such a general, there is no need to beat around the bush at all, as long as you get straight to the point and indicate your goals. Lengquan Longfeng suddenly put his mind at ease and said, "I completely understand it below." ”

Zhengheng laughed, as if he was very happy for his performance, since he was determined to expand westward, Ouchi Yoshicho was obviously the big tiger on his way forward, killing this big tiger was what he expected to see, the essence of the conflict between the two families was completely a life-and-death contradiction of interests, and it had nothing to do with justice and reason. The politics and balance use the affairs of the world, and the righteousness is nothing more than looking for a righteous and awe-inspiring name, which is much more upright than the "heaven and the Buddha take it, but suffer the blame".

Zheng Heng looked at Leng Quan Longfeng with a smile and asked, "Speaking of encirclement, I want to know which ones are there that make up the encirclement?" ”

Rengquan Takaho heard Zhengheng specifically ask about the encirclement, and knew that Zhengheng was obviously a little tempted, so he hurriedly responded: "This time, I have quite a lot of confidence, and I already have Iwami's Tsuwano Mihonmatsu Castle Lord Yoshimi Shikibu joining our side, and I am willing to do my best to contain the Nagato Naito and Iwami Masuda clans. In addition, although Shirai Takayin, the younger brother of Shirai Fangyin, the leader of the Yashiro Island Naval Army, stayed in Hakkaishan Castle on the orders of Tao Takabo, he had already negotiated with our side, and once Ouchisuke made a move, he would definitely echo each other from afar and raise his flag to vote. At that time, the Shirai clan, the largest force in the Yashiro Island naval army, will be in civil strife, and Iwami will invade from the outside, and then you will contain some of the troops, and we can calmly land on Nagato. All in all, in terms of form and name, we have several times the advantage, and according to the following meaning, if you want to obtain the maximum benefit, you must jointly form an encirclement with us, so I am here to lobby. ”

The more Lengquan Takatoyo spoke, the smoother he became, about his intentions, Zhengheng already knew, he never thought that it would be so thorough and meticulous, and it would not leak, if it was really as he said, Yoshimi Masariri and Shirai Takayin were all launched, and Ouchi Yoshitaka was really likely to land in Nagato, once Ouchi Yoshitaka had a bridgehead in Nagato, it would be really difficult to drive it into the sea.

Zhengheng hesitated a little, I don't know if it is appropriate to bring Ouchi Yoshitra back to the west, but after a little wavering, he made up his mind, in contrast, Ouchi Yoshitaka and Ouchi Yoshicho two, obviously the former is easier to deal with, besides, Ouchi Yoshitaka and Ouchi Yoshicho have been unable to reach harmony between the two, only to fight to the death, which is more beneficial than disadvantageous for Zhengheng, which determines the policy of westward expansion. Of course, Zhengheng has already said before that what he believes in is righteousness, and after listening to Leng Quan's words, although he was moved, he opened his mouth and said: "I know very well what Your Excellency said. Although Owari Mamoru is against the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, it has nothing to do with Ouchisuke below, and besides, I have an appointment with Owari Mamoru first. ”

Leng Quan Longfeng said: "I think that there is no need to worry too much, but there are different positions, and naturally it is not possible to force others." Let the adults think about it carefully, and then make a decision, then I will leave here, in the future, because of the affairs of the world, I am afraid that I will not have time to come again, after the adults decide, please let me know, and also, this matter is very urgent, I hope that the adults will decide as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and said goodbye, and Zhengheng also got up and quietly sent them out of Tomata Hot Springs.

Everyone had already walked to the door, and Ryutoshi Ryoshi Leng Quan and Ryuji Uda turned around and bowed and said, "Say goodbye, please go back!" As he spoke, he took dozens of heavily armed samurai and headed in the direction of Kurashiki Port.

When Ryosen Takatoyo, Uda Ryuji and the others passed through Okayama Castle, Ryosen Takatoyo glanced at Okayama Castle in a busy manner, sighed and said, "What a big city, it seems that the Date family intends to use this place as their new main city, and it seems that the day when the Date family will take off is not far away." ”

As he spoke, Ryosen Takaho wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, obviously he thought of the Yamaguchikan, which the Ouchi family was proud of, since Ouchi Yoshinaga rebelled and drove Ouchi Yoshitaka out of the Yamaguchikan, the once-glorious Yamaguchi culture quickly declined.

Ryuji Uda glanced at the construction site in the castle, snorted coldly, and said, "Second Lieutenant Saemon, what do you mean by Date Ko'er?" ”

Ryutsumi Ryutoshi glanced back at Ryuji Youda, but he didn't blame Ryuji Uda for his unreasonableness, no one could help but be jealous of Date Masahiro's youth and achievements, and he was mostly dissatisfied in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would call him a child behind his back, he stared into the distance and said, "Kibi's heart has been shaken. ”

Zhengheng is only twenty years old, invincible, and has defeated Maori Motoshi and Niko Harumi, which is not to be underestimated. In general, he is a terrible dangerous person. To be honest, a dangerous person like this really shouldn't be drawn into the encirclement.

However, Ryosen Takatoyo also knows that if there is no Masahiro's containment, Ouchi Yoshitaka will not have any chance to break through the blockade and land in Nagato, even Yoshimi Masanori and Shirai Takayin will hesitate and make indecisive, and only by pulling Masahiro into the camp can Yoshimi Masayori and Shirai Takayin and others make up their minds.

Rengquan Takaho smiled bitterly and said: "As long as Ouchisuke quickly defeats the rebels and sits firmly in the three kingdoms of Nagato, Zhoufang, and Iwami, when the time comes, with the power of the five countries and the benefits of exploration and trade, he will definitely be able to defeat Date Shoyo, besides, there is no other good way, besides, Ouchisuke is already forty-eight years old this year." Fifty years in the world is like a dream, how can there be immortals in the world?"

After Ryosen Takaho and Uda Ryuji left, Masahiro obviously didn't have the heart to recuperate, and at this time, Masahiro's heart moved slightly and remembered something, and said to Tsuda Sukegoro, who was following behind him: "Get me Tozawa Baiyunsai." (To be continued......)
