Chapter 1657 The Sick Beauty of the Date Family

In the meeting hall of Dahu City, Date Masamune tremblingly held ginger soup and sipped sips, while Yamanaka Yukimori sat at the head of the main seat, closed his eyes and meditated.

When he heard the sound of the sliding door opening behind him, Date Masamune immediately put down the soup bowl, kowtowed to the ground and greeted Shiba Yoshigin who entered the venue, and shouted.

"Criminal Masamune Date, I have seen a saint!"

Date Masamune, bowing his head respectfully, saw Yoshigin's feet stop in front of his eyes.

"You are Date Masamune?"

"Hi!"

"Head up."

Date Masamune slowly raised his head, looked at the giant in front of him, and was shocked.

I have long heard that Shiba Yoshigin has a majestic figure, far surpassing ordinary men, but kneeling at his feet now makes Date Masamune feel extremely small.

Date Masamune is 159 centimeters tall. Among the Ji warriors, he can only be said to be ordinary, not too short.

But in front of Yiyin's huge height difference of 183 centimeters, she is just a dwarf, not to mention standing and kneeling, the gap seems even bigger.

This is. .gods. .

The huge gap made Date Masamune, who had knelt in the snow for a long time just now, loosen his already weak will and became more and more frightened.

From her point of view, this giant male with the most gorgeous appearance in front of him, who looks to be no more than sixteen years old, cannot be a mortal no matter how he looks at it.

How can a man be so tall. .And Yiyin is already 23 this year. .

While Date Masamune was carefully sizing up Yoshiyin and thinking wildly, Yoshiyin was also observing her.

The girl in front of her was delicate, her face was still a bit immature and delicate, one eye was blinded by an eyepatch, she looked quite sick, like a weak and sick beauty.

But Yiyin did not dare to underestimate this little girl who is not yet twenty. She is the most vicious and ambitious local daimyo in the Ou region, not one of them.

It is said that Date Masamune suffered from smallpox when he was a child, and was blind in one eye. He was disgusted by his father Yoshikun.

His mother was honest and loved, and this incident caused Date Masamune to be criticized by all parties, and his father hated his daughter even more, and even returned to his father's house.

Her father, Yoshikun, is the son of the Mogami family, and the dispute between Date Masamune and the Mogami family made her father resent her, and the relationship between father and daughter is extremely bad.

Looking at the sick beauty in front of him, Yoshihiro thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that Date Masamune was very similar to Oda Nobunaga.

The same was neglected by his father, the same was not seen by the retainers after his mother died, and the same was desperately trying to prove his excellence.

Yiyin couldn't help letting out a breath.

He is most afraid of dealing with these paranoids. Bribery and compromise are useless to these people. Their whole life is to burn themselves and prove themselves. They are too obsessed and difficult to deal with.

The Ou samurai called Date Masamune a one-eyed dragon, and her name was taken from Li Keyong of the later Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that this woman is by no means weak and sick on the surface, but strong and brave in her temperament, and she is not an easy-going generation.

It is not an easy task to convince this evil dragon.But if you want to cut the weeds and root out at this time, but it is too late, the wise man will not take it.

Yiyin sat on the main seat, pointed at Jiang Tang and said.

"After drinking it, it's freezing cold, so don't fall into the root of the disease."

Date Masamune thanked the sage, picked up the soup bowl, ignored the scorching heat of the ginger soup, and swallowed it in one gulp without changing his face.Then, she respectfully knelt down in front of Yiyin, and the saint waited for her punishment.

Yi Yin asked lightly.

"His Highness Yida came all the way to Dahu City, and knelt outside my courtyard, why?"

Date Masamune kowtowed to the ground again.

"The guilty minister knows that he has committed a serious crime, so he implores the saint to punish him for his crime."

Yiyin glanced at the solemn white clothes on her body, and sneered.

"The Date family is entrenched in Yonezawa, Sendai and other places, and their momentum is not small. I heard that the height of the stone is over a million stones, so it can be called a big name.

The lady does not stand under the dangerous wall, His Royal Highness Yida abandons the territory of a million stones, and goes south to show off to me alone. Do you really think that I dare not kill you? "

Date Masamune smiled bitterly.

"The Date family is famous for its millions of stones, and it fell in a great chaos many years ago. I just inherited the legacy of my ancestors and tried my best to protect one side of the shogunate.

Now that a saint came into the world, Date Masamune was confused for a while, disobeying the will of heaven and resisting the heavenly soldiers, it is an unforgivable crime.

The guilty minister begged the sage to surrender, no matter whether it was killing or cutting, the Yida family would never hold any grudges. "

Date Masamune stopped talking, Yiyin reached out to pick up a knife on the knife holder beside him, and pulled it out with a snap.

This time, Yamanaka Yukimori looked up in fright. He really thought that the saint was provoked by Date Masamune to kill him.

Date Masamune closed his eyes and listened to the sound of breaking wind, but what hit him was not a knife, but a scabbard.

Yiyin hit her shoulder with the sheath stick and sighed.

"The Date family has been obedient to the shogunate for many years, guarding the land of Ou, there is no credit, but also hard work.

Although His Royal Highness Date was wrong, but in view of the dedication of the ancestors of the Date family to the shogunate, I will replace the sword with a battle, and punish the small and the big.

As the old saying goes, there are only three things.

I hope you don't make the same mistakes again and again. Yu Zeende, who failed his ancestors, will not have a third chance. "

The two times Yoshigin refers to, one is the time when the Osaki Mogami two asked for help, and the Kanto Office sent troops to mediate, and the other is that Date Masamune took advantage of the Shiba Oda War to make another disturbance in Ou.

Date Masamune has repeated it twice, playing tricks on the Kanto servants and making things difficult for the saint.

Seeing that she went south alone this time and came to beg for mercy in person, and her ancestors were from the famous Ou family of the shogunate, Yiyin reluctantly let her go.

If there is a next time, then Yoshigin will be benevolent and righteous, and there are enough reasons to crusade against him. When the Date family is defeated, the Ou Takeshi family has nothing to say.

Date Masamune's heart relaxed, and he kowtowed heavily.

"The sinful minister thanked the saint for not killing! In the future, I will definitely form a grass ring to repay the king's kindness!"

Yiyin returned the saber to its sheath and threw it aside.

"The Aizu Rebellion started because of you. The Date family must withdraw from the four counties of Aizu immediately and unconditionally. Do you understand?"

"Hey, follow the will of the saint."

"The Supreme Master treats me disrespectfully, but this matter has nothing to do with you. I will find the Supreme Master to reason with me. You are so honest that you don't want to provoke trouble."

"Hey, my servant understands."

Yiyin glanced at Xingsheng Yamanaka and said.

"The Guandong Servant wants to crusade against the unrighteous people in the east, and there must be no chaos in the Ou region.

I will send Yamanaka Yukimori's troops to frighten the frontiers, in case Xiaoxiao takes the opportunity to cause chaos. All the Ou samurai have the obligation to cooperate with Yamanaka Yukimori. "

Date Masamune bowed to Yamanaka Komori.

"The Date family will definitely cooperate wholeheartedly, and I respectfully ask Master Yamanaka for instructions."

Yi Yin shook his head.

"Spring plowing is just around the corner. I think I still have a lot of work to do at Ida's house, so I won't keep you here any longer. Take a rest overnight and go back tomorrow."

Date Masamune was taken aback for a moment, and then ecstasy erupted in his heart.

Although Yoshigin asked her to withdraw from Aizu and forbid her to have any more conflicts with the Mogami family, he didn't say a word about the Osaki family that had already been conquered.

You must know that after the collapse of the Osaki family, the entire Southern Sendai has fallen into the hands of Date Masamune. As long as this piece of fat does not spit out, Date Masamune will not lose money in this military adventure and make a lot of money.

Of course Yoshihiro knew this, but even if he really scolded Date Masamune for withdrawing from the old Osaki clan, the territory would not fall into Yoshihiro's hands.

In the northern part of Dewa country, Yoshigin planted the nail of Tozawa Shengan.

The Shonai area at the mouth of the sea in the southern part of Dewa country, and the Aizu area at the gateway to Ou are all within the range of Yukimori Yamanaka.

But the South Sendai Plain, located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, is too far away from Yiyin's influence circle, so he can't control it at all.

In the past, Yoshigin also considered supporting the Mogami family and the Osaki family as an extension of his influence in the in-depth development of the Ou region.

But the fact that Yoshihiro was slapped two ears, the two Shibo relatives who were a family 200 years ago are unreliable, they are all white-eyed wolves.

So when the Osaki family dies, they die. Yoshigin has no plans to stand up for the Osaki family. If Date Masamune can be more honest in the future, Yoshigin will not see the issue of the ownership of the Southern Sendai Plain for the time being.

Giving Date Masamune a little sweetness can also be used as a reason to turn his face in the future, it depends on how Date Masamune chooses.

Date Masamune is obviously a smart person, of course she understands that the saint didn't mention it today because she Date Masamune has a good attitude.

If she dares to mess around again in the future, Nanxiantai's old account will be revealed and become a bargaining chip against her.

Regarding this, Masamune Date didn't take it seriously, at least today's hurdle has passed, as for the future, it depends on whether the sage, Yiyin, can sit firmly in the world.

If Shiba's regime is stable and Date Masamune's aspirations in this life are difficult to carry out, she will definitely recognize current affairs as a hero and become the loyal lackey of Shiba's family in the Ou area.

But if there is a disturbance in the Shiba family and the Kanto is once again torn apart, then don't blame Date Masamune for his ambition again.

However, at this juncture, Date Masamune is very satisfied with the handling of money.

Although the Date family was asked to assist Yamanaka Yukimori in the expansion of the Ou area, she at least kept the Southern Sendai Plain she had.

Holding the Southern Sendai Plain, the Yonezawa Basin, and the Fukushima Basin, the Date House, whose tentacles have extended to Nihonmatsu, can indeed stop for a while and digest new areas.

Date Masamune was about to lie down and take a closer look to see if the Shiba family was a long-term and powerful new master of the world, or a short-lived Kanto overlord.

Regarding Date Masamune's petty thoughts, Yoshihiro didn't bother to guess and didn't care.

He spared Date Masamune with high regard. On the one hand, he really didn't have the energy to do anything about the bordering Date family territory.

On the other hand, it is also selling a favor to Yamanaka Yukimori to support the infiltration and development of a group of people in Yamanaka to the Ou area.

First take Aizu away from Date Masamune, and later pacify the people in the east, use Hitachi as a base, and then block the gates of Fukushima to the north.

As long as you resist Aizu and Fukushima, plot Yonezawa again, and hold all the Ou gates in your own hands, as for the semi-frozen soil in the northeast, Date Masamune can do whatever he wants.

Of course, the premise is that Masamune Date is obedient enough to the Shiba family, otherwise, he will just hit the rabbit and push the matter away.
