A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

As soon as Leyanji Shaobi retreated, Yamauchi Yoshiharu and his army were only two or three days away from Kawanaka Island.

Murakami Yoshikiyo finally became anxious and asked Takeda Harunobu of Matsuo Castle for help six times in one day.

The next day, the news came that there were more than 23,000 Yoshiji troops in the mountain, and the generals above the village were so shocked that they could not hold themselves back. Dai Masakuni, the ancestral home of the Murakami family, was ordered to go to Takeda Harunobu himself to ask for help. He must convince Takeda Harunobu to come to the rescue.

On the other hand, Rakuganji Masakata and Kiyono Kiyohide also rushed to the camps of Uesugi Terutora and Yamauchi Yoshiharu respectively, and they were willing to accept the consequences.

"Zhou Feng sent you here now, what's the matter?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu smiled warmly, full of warmth.

"I heard that the daughter of His Highness the Prime Minister is smart, demure, and has the appearance of a human being. I would like to seek marriage for my young master (Murakami Yoshiri)." Kiyono Qingxiu is actually a bachelor.

"Hahahahahahaha, why would the daughter of my Kawachi Genji clan, the most powerful family in the world, marry the son of a traitor?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu laughed, and the Yamauchi samurai in the shogunate also laughed very loudly, as if they heard What a big joke.

"My princess is no longer concerned about her defense, so please invite your envoy back." Isshiki Miyauchi spoke.

"Your Highness the Prime Minister, my Lord is willing to marry His Highness the Princess at the rank of one more county. After the marriage is completed, my Lord will immediately live in seclusion and hand over the family property to the young master to keep His Highness the Prime Minister's tail."

Once this condition is exported, it is worth considering.

Most of Shinano Province's Saku County and Suwa County are in the hands of Takeda Harunobu, and now he has won over half of the smaller counties, including Ueke No. 40 Village.

Ina County, Uchida County (this is the basic base given to the Yamauchi family, 90,000 koku.), and a small part of Suwa County have long been in the hands of the Yamauchi family. Later, the Kiso clan of Minami-Chikuma County surrendered, the Ogasawara clan of Hita-Chikuma County was now trapped in the army, and Azumi County also ostensibly surrendered.

Minuchi and Takai counties, which were originally under the command of Murakami Yoshikiyo, are now in rebellion and relying on Uesugi Teruhora's thigh.

What else does Murakami Yoshikiyo have? There are only two counties, Gengji County and Zhike County.

He ceded the Geng-level county to the Yamauchi family, leaving an unsatisfactory Uchiko County, and he was still willing to surrender to the Yamauchi family. Become the son-in-law of Yamauchi Yoshiharu and become a foreign member of the Yamauchi family.

This condition is indeed very tempting. After all, the Yamauchi family has not fought a single battle so far, and not a single soldier has died. If such a big result can be obtained, it is indeed in line with the superior military art of subduing the enemy without fighting.

Of course, the daughter of Yamauchi Yoshinori was from a high-ranking family of the samurai family, and it didn't matter who his last son-in-law was. She was the Mibuchi clan, a close minister of the shogunate, and Mibuchi Fujitaka, a close relative of the Hosokawa clan.

But if you can exchange your daughter for a county and a strong son-in-law, this business can still be done.

Even Motori Moto would not marry his daughter to the Nabuto Takashi family, Takeda Harunobu also married his daughter to Kiso Yoshimasa, Miyoshi Nagakei married his daughter to Matsunagahide, and Uesugi Teruhu married his sister to Nagao Masakei.

If the samurai corps accumulated by the Murakami clan for hundreds of years could be integrated into the Yamauchi clan's retainers, this business would be profitable.

For a moment, even Xiao Pingtai was blinded by such a huge benefit. The important officials of the Yamauchi clan in the shogunate also talked about it. If such a result could be achieved, it would be really great.

Qingye Qingxiu also had a victorious smile on his face, and it seemed that this meeting would end here.

Hosokawa Harumiya, who had already come down from the side seat of Yamauchi Yoshinori and was sitting on the second seat of retainers, did not speak. He never participated in the discussion in the tent, closed his eyes and meditated, as quiet as a clay-embodied Bodhisattva.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Of course, there was no sparkle, and he seemed to be a little drowsy.

"I have watched Her Royal Highness grow up. Her Royal Highness has a somewhat quiet temperament. She may be frightened if she suddenly sees an outsider."

"I also ask Zhou Fengfeng to send your young master here to get close to my princess for a few days. After my princess is happy, we can talk about the marriage."

Hosokawa Harumiya smiled as if she was talking about her own granddaughter. She was afraid of being bullied by her grandson-in-law, looking like a kind old man.

Straight bitch!

Murakami Yoshikiyo is such a thief!

The old boy actually played with nothing but a white wolf!

Hosokawa Harugong is right, the Azuma-gun is already in the hands of the Yamauchi family, and the Yamauchi family has not even touched a hair of the higher-ranking county.

Qingye Qingxiu's mouth touched, and he opened his mouth to cede a county, which had no guarantee and no facts. Isn't this just a joke?

Yamauchi Yoshiharu also reacted, but he couldn't express his emotions or anger. Although he was temporarily blinded by the huge benefits, now that someone reminded him, he immediately understood.

"Yes, I have heard that Zhou is brave in defense and good at fighting. I guess the tiger father has no dog son. I really like heroic warriors. Please bring your young master to meet him as soon as possible."

Let the old boy Yoshiki Murakami send his legitimate son and young master Yoshitoshi Murakami as a hostage to show the sincerity of your Murakami family.

As long as Murakami Yoshitoshi comes, I believe you are really asking for peace. Anyway, there are so many people from the Northern Shinnobu here, and some of them have met Murakami Yoshitoshi. Don't think of just finding a fool to come over and deal with us.

Koheita saw the expression on Qingye Qingxiu's face change, but he still calmed down. He didn't look angry or scared, and kept smiling.

"This is because I have an intention. I will report it to my lord as soon as possible. The young lord will definitely come to the camp of His Highness the Prime Minister in two days."

After saying this, Qingye Qingxiu bowed down to Yamauchi Yoshiji and waited for Yamauchi Yoshiji's answer.

But Yamauchi Yoshiharu has been deceived a lot, and he still can't tell.

"Two days later? Coming in two days? Then our army will wait here for two days? Yes or no?"

"This is natural. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"

"Oh, you are so brave, you deceive me into not even being able to spot such a shallow delaying tactic!" After saying that, Yamauchi Yoshiji suddenly stood up and glared at Kiyono Qingxiu.

All the warriors in the mountain stood up one after another, their swords unsheathed and their spears like a forest.

"I think you want to try the blade of my Yamauchi samurai!" Yamauchi Yoshiharu pointed angrily at Kiyono Qingxiu.

"Since His Highness the Prime Minister does not believe it, there is nothing I can do." Qingye Qingxiu's lie was exposed. But he didn't panic or be afraid.

"I have no choice but to say goodbye!" "You still want to leave?"

Yamauchi Yoshiharu laughed out loud.

"How could His Highness the Prime Minister kill the envoy!" Qingye Qingxiu finally showed a hint of panic.

"Your envoy is overly worried. It is better to set off with our army and take a good look at our army's appearance."

Two Yamauchi warriors stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, to flank Qingye Qingxiu.

"In the palace, send someone to inform Zhou Defeng that Lord Qingye has stayed in our army as a guest."

"Your Highness, Prime Minister, why don't you kill me! Your knife kills without showing blood!"

The sound became distant and quieter.
