Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Qingzhou Society

On the fourteenth day of the second month of the fourth year of Yonglu, Takigawa Sakon, as the envoy of the Oda clan, arrived at Okazaki Castle.Only four or five bodyguards and some veterans knew about it. "As the lord of a city, frequent visits to Sandao City may attract criticism. It is better to welcome her into the city." Sakai Galesuke once suggested privately, but was rejected by Yuan Kang. "You don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter if the retainers know, I'm worried that this matter will reach Junfu." "Just kidding. My wife is not around, so what's the point of finding one or two girls."

"Deliberately provoke Sena? It's more interesting to be sneaky about love affairs." In fact, Yuan Kang really enjoyed it and never tired of it.The woman he was secretly in love with turned out to be an undercover agent sent by the enemy Oda, but gradually forgot his mission and fell in love with the enemy, Yuan Kang felt very interesting; moreover, when he left the city and entered the maid's room in Sandao City Sometimes, I always feel that I look funny, and sometimes I even want to laugh out loud.What is it that makes the relationship between a man and a woman so tempting?

Although Mrs. Huaqingyuan knew this well, she pretended not to know.No matter how late Yuan Kang went, as long as he knocked on the window a few times, you would come out immediately. The heart of a woman is really incredible. He will be late on purpose. At that time, although his hands and feet are cold, you are always so enthusiastic.It is not the "loyalty" between the master and the retainers that manipulates Ke Ni and makes Yuan Kang sneak in and out of the maid's room, but another force.Because of this, Yuan Kang was able to reflect on himself calmly, and became more and more aware of the strength and fragility of people.

This morning, when Yuan Kang woke up, he found that you had also woken up.She put her right hand beside Yuankang's pillow, her eyes wide open, motionless, her hands and feet were as hot as fire. "Are you awake?" The soft greeting sounded very sad. "Oh, the windows are white. Overslept." Thinking of Ah Xiao who was sleeping in the next room, Yuan Kang gently took Ke Ni's hand away from the pillow.But you immediately grabbed Yuan Kang's skirt tightly and snuggled up to him. "Come again tonight..." "Oh." "Today we may see an envoy from the Oda family."

"Today? Got it." Yuan Kang nodded lightly and took the clothes.But you stood up and opened the window.It was not yet bright.The white morning mist rising from the Sugo River wraps softly around the branches of old pine trees.Yuan Kang quickly walked towards the door. "gone." When the important minister Sakai General Jian Zhongshang entered the city early in the morning to serve the public, the city became lively. "The Oda clan's envoy is here." "What? Oda's? What's the matter?" "I don't know, probably to persuade him to surrender."

After Ishikawa Iecheng finished his report, General Inspector Tadaka responded and stared at the roof.Zhongshang is of the same clan as Matsudaira, and he often despises Yuankang, and proclaims himself the assistant officer and supervisor "Da Mufu". "The city lord should know, why haven't you come to the hall yet?" "He hasn't gotten up yet." "Not up? That's outrageous. Wake him up immediately!" A retainer was about to get up, but was stopped by Zhongshang: "Wait!" Xuan swept the crowd, "Before the city lord arrives, I want to hear everyone's opinions. Chuji, what do you think?"

"I obey the decision of the city lord." "The city lord said to surrender to the Oda clan, do you agree?" "There is no choice." "Then what about the young master who stayed in Junfu? What about your wives and children?" Chuji didn't answer, but just concentrated on looking at the samurai creed posted on the wall.Tadasaka smacked his lips, turned around to Uemura Ietsu, and before he could speak, Iecun was more straightforward than Tadaji: "I fully respect the opinion of the castellan." Things are clear.Ishikawa Shuzheng didn't want to listen to Zhongshang's words at all, he got up suddenly to go to the toilet; Jiacheng sat solemnly, expressionless.

"Ugh!" Zhongshang sighed in disappointment, "I would like to speak, please kill the messenger. If the lord does not want to kill him, he will not be allowed to enter the city, and he will be expelled. If they attack again, it will be the second battle of Xiaodouban." Zhong Shang is still chattering.At about six o'clock in the morning, the envoys arrived, and the atmosphere in the city was very tense, and the people were clearly divided into two factions.Neither of the two factions knew what Yuan Kang meant, but they agreed on the point of obeying Yuan Kang's decision.

When Takikawa Kazuyoshi led two followers into the hall, Yuan Yasushi who just got up came out of the bedroom coldly.When Yiyi sat in front of him, Yuan Kang opened his mouth very naturally, sneezed, and asked lightly, "Is the journey going smoothly?" Yiyi's expression was also light. "This world is full of vigorous young men. When my lord arrives in Qingzhou City, I'm afraid there will be rude people causing trouble. Please bear with me then." Judging from his meaning, the first condition seems to be from Okazaki A trip to Qingzhou is a must. "How is Nobunaga-kun?"

"Energetic, scolding us every day." "Oh. I miss him so much. When I was in Retian, he used to visit me and take care of me..." Yuan Kang held back a sneeze, and lightly touched the key topic, "So, this time you come..." "The purpose is simple." Takigawa Kazumashi twisted his beard with a very serious expression.All the generals in the seat were suddenly silent, "Since Yoshimoto Chuan died, the Oda and Matsudaira families have no reason to confront each other. Your side is in the east, and my lord is in the west. We will go our own way and not interfere with each other. It is better to form an alliance and reconcile. It is the purpose of my trip." Yuan Kang nodded solemnly.He didn't care about the nervous expressions of his retainers at all. "That would be a strategy, but I'm sorry to accept it, please go back and tell Nobunada-sama like this."

"Oh." "The Imagawa clan has been kind to me. Nobunaga-sama can expand to the west, south, and north, but the east is all the territory of the Imagawa clan, and I can't conquer it." "As said." "You probably don't understand that in the affairs of the world, righteousness comes first." "Yes Yes." "Moto Yasushi is not a perfidious person, but there is absolutely no reason to provoke Owari." Takigawa Kazumashi twirled his beard and nodded. "So, please go back and tell Nobunaga-kun that I agree to form an alliance with him." "Oh?" Yiyi tilted his head slightly, "Didn't your lord say that for Jin Chuan's sake, you can't break your faith without getting a clear indication?" Yuan Kang said slowly: "That's not necessary. After all, I am not Imagawa's retainer. Takikawa Kazuyoshi, you know that there are two kinds of people in this world, one kind of people very much desire to have a master, and the other kind of people don't have such a desire Oda-kun probably belongs to the latter group like me, and would rather die than be someone else's vassal. Even the righteousness owed to the Imagawa family is not the righteousness of the master and minister, but the samurai friendship. My childhood friend Oda-kun and I There is also this kind of 'righteousness'." Yuan Kang stopped and sneezed, "So, I will go to Qingzhou City on standby to reminisce about the past with Oda-kun...Can you tell him this?" Takigawa Kazuyoshi couldn't help but look at Motoyasu again.Just now I said it was hard to accept, but didn't I accept all of them?Moreover, when he sneezed, he expressed his determination, that is, no matter under what circumstances, no matter what happened, he Yuanyasu would never be a retainer of the Oda clan. What an extraordinary general!With such a general, there is no need to talk about surrender.Yiyi immediately felt relieved. "I fully understand." "Great, righteousness was achieved without any preconditions, and the two families shook hands to make peace. It's so rare! Come and bring the gift." Yiyi suddenly thought that when Nobunaga ordered Yuan Kang to go to Qingzhou City, such an important condition was actually changed by Yuan Kang to "go on standby".However, the matter has come to this point, and I am afraid that I will not be able to mention this again. If I repeat it, I am afraid that Yuan Kang will laugh at me. Yiyi had no choice but to accept the gift, pretending to be flattered, and bowed deeply to Yuan Kang: "My lord must be very happy too. Because I need to make some preparations to welcome you, so I dare to ask my lord, when do you plan to go to Qingzhou? That's it." , I can go back and return to my life." Yuan Kang glanced at the retainers, and said softly: "I really don't have time to think about this recently, and it will not be too late to let you know. I can't just set a date casually, and Oda-kun is also very busy. Go back and ask him why?" When you have free time, discuss it with me again, how about that?" Yiyi fell to the ground submissively.Everything in front of me is like a dream.Although he was obsessed with Nobunaga and hoped to follow him for the rest of his life, seeing Yuan Kang's words and deeds, he was a little moved and wondered whether he should vote for Mingzhu again.It's really beyond heaven!If Nobunaga is like a raging fire, Motoyasu in front of him is reminiscent of the moon, radiating light quietly above the flames. The retainers were relieved.Naturally, some people were afraid, thinking that Yuan Kang should not easily agree to go to Qingzhou City; but after all, it is a matter of the future, and the unconditional alliance has been realized in front of him, and this result is absolutely impeccable. Next, Yuan Kang took Yiyi to inspect Okazaki Castle leisurely, and they didn't come back until the banquet in the hall to welcome the envoys was ready. The two visited the city, Erdao city, Jiancang, rice warehouse, and armory. This arrangement can have two meanings.One meaning is that Moto Yasushi didn't take the Oda clan seriously at all; the other meaning was that Moto Yasushi had nothing to hide from Nobunaga, and wanted to show Nobunaga through Kazuchi that the Okazaki people had no second thoughts about him. After passing through the three gates, Yuan Kang pointed with a fan, "That's the residence of my stepmother, Mrs. Hua Qingyuan." Yiyi said "Oh" and stopped. How Mrs. Huaqingin's family sold Moto Yasushi, who was supposed to be sent to Shunfu, to Owari as a hostage, everything is clear. "I want Mrs. Huaqingyuan to spend a quiet and peaceful old age. She is very important to me." "Aren't your lords going to punish their family for their injustice?" "I was once annoyed by this. But if this hadn't happened, how would I have met Oda-kun. The gods have their own arrangements in the dark, which is beyond the reach of human wisdom." His expression was serious and serious , and then pointed to the courtyard opposite the bamboo fence, where a figure was shaking. "That's Madam's maid, Kane. Look, she's cutting daffodils. I heard she was born in Owari, and she's a really nice girl." Yiyi stared intently in surprise, a delicate and charming woman was walking in the courtyard in early spring.Yuan Kang kept smiling, and Yi Yi suddenly wondered whether the person in front of him was really only twenty years old. In the second year, the first month of the fifth year of Yonglu, Yuan Kang visited Qingzhou City.Some retainers worried about Yuan Kang's safety and advised him not to go, but he turned a deaf ear.It has been almost a year since Kazuyoshi Takikawa left Okazaki.The impatient Nobunaga must be eagerly looking forward to Yuan Kang's visit. If there is any further delay, the visit will lose its meaning. Besides, Shizhen of Junfu has already embarked on the road of extinction.Although the fierce and violent Nobunaga held back his temper and did not take action, Shi Zhen still did not dare to avenge his father.He hated Yuankang for not going to Junfu, and drove more than a dozen family members of Yuankang's clan, Matsudaira Iehiro, outside Yoshida City, and beheaded them in public.What would happen between Owari and Mikawa if Motoyasu went to Sumfu because he was afraid that more hostages would be killed? With Nobunaga's violent temperament, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Okazaki.So Yuan Kang repeatedly stated that he could not leave Okazaki Castle, but his true suspicions did not diminish in the slightest.Yuan Yasushi had to concentrate on dealing with the Oda clan. This state lasted from the third year of Yonglu when Yoshimoto was killed to February of the fourth year of Yonglu when Kazuyoshi Takikawa came to form an alliance. It seems that he is avenging Yoshimoto. Yuan Kang avoided Nobunaga's main force during the battle, and successively surrendered Jumu, Hirose, Yibao, Meiping and other places that have a relationship with Matsudaira, and then he and his uncle Mizuno Nobumoto Eighteen towns and Ishigase areas fought.Therefore, since the clan is really not as good as his father, Yiyuan, Yuankang's "loyalty" should be recognized.After the Ishise Battle with Mizuno Nobumoto, Moto Yasushi and Nobunaga formed an alliance.Now that they have become allies, no matter how small the city is, Yuan Kang should not invade the Oda family's sphere of influence. Yuan Kang's actions aroused Shi Zhen's suspicion even more, and he ordered Itakura Shigesei, Yoshiaki Kira, and Zenbei Suoya who were stationed in Nakajima City to try their best to resist Yuan Yasu.Yuan Kang had no choice but to suppress in order to strengthen the defense of Okazaki Castle.As a result, another hostage was pushed out of Yoshida City and executed. Among those killed were Iehiro Matsudaira's youngest son Ukon, Masakatsu Saigo's grandson Shirojo, Shinhachiro Suganuma's wife and sister, Heemon Otake's daughter, Sadano Okuheira, Fujibei Mizuno, and Santa Asaba. , Okuyama Xiu and others' wives and children.These people were all military generals who felt the old kindness of the Matsudaira clan after Yuan Yasu returned to Okazaki Castle. It was summer, and the place of execution was Longnian Temple under the city.The level of cruelty made all bystanders look pale, even the retainers of the supervisor Yoshida Jojoro Dai Ohara Hizen Morita could not bear to witness it. After the massacre, Shi Shin said: "If Yuan Kang dares to betray us, then Mrs. Sekiguchi, Takechiyo and Agui will all end up in the same way." This extremely clumsy threat only prompted Yuan Kang to make up his mind to visit Qingzhou City early. Twenty-two followers, from the 16-year-old Honda Heihachiro to the nearly 60-year-old Shinrokuro Shiyoshi Uemura, all followed Yuan Kang to Qingzhou City with the determination to die that the strong man would never return. The group met at Guye Castle and the team sent by Takikawa Kazuyoshi, and then entered Qingzhou under their protection.People from the city flocked to the gate of Honcho to watch, making it difficult for them to move. Moto Yasushi, a Tibetan from Matsudaira in Okazaki, came to visit Oda Owari Shounobunaga, who became famous for beheading Imagawa Yoshimoto. Hearing this news, the people in the castle certainly thought that Moto Yasu was a good friend of Laigui Shun. "Is he the Takechiyo who came to Atsuta as a hostage when he was six years old? Probably he agreed at that time that he would be the retainer of my general." "Yes. I heard that Lord Nobunaga often played with him. At that time, Lord Nobunaga had such great insight. It's really admirable." "That said, Motoyasu Matsudaira on horseback is very impressive." "He will definitely bow his knees when he enters the city. Now let him show his prestige." This is a victorious country, and even the leaders don't care about other people's reactions.Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, who was walking in the front, heard these contemptuous whispers, and kept yelling: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Although Honda Heihachiro was only sixteen years old, he was handsome and majestic.From time to time, he waved the three-foot long naginata in his hand. "Get out of the way! Mr. Sanhe Matsudaira Yuanyasu is here, whoever dares to be rude, I will cut off his head with one knife!" Yuan Kang did not reprimand, nor did he stop Zhong Sheng.He calmly looked at Mount Atago outside the castle, and stopped his horse in front of the Honmachi Gate. "I am Tadakashi Honda Heihachiro, a retainer of Yuan Yasushi from Matsudaira Tibetan. If anyone is rude, he will be executed without mercy." Even in front of Kazuyoshi, Heihachiro still spoke loudly like a bell and swung his naginata. Yiyi smiled and replied: "It's been a hard journey. You can rest assured that I, Yiyi, are here." "How can I rest assured, I heard that there are the most foxes in Owari." Heihachiro wanted people to understand his firm determination: if anyone dared to attack Yuan Kang, he would kill him without mercy.Of course Yiyi knew that, so when Yuan Kang dismounted from his horse, he bowed his head respectfully. Everyone was dumbfounded.They believed that the Oda family was too cautious about this team that came to surrender. Entering the city, near the Kamitomi Shrine, important ministers such as Hayashi Sado, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Chohide, Sugaya Kuroemon, and others lined up to greet him.Even the people of Sanhe were extremely satisfied with this kind of treatment. Arriving at Erdao City, where Yuan Kang was scheduled to stay, Nobunaga was already standing in front of the gate.As soon as he saw Yuan Kang, he shouted: "Oh, it's finally here. I still remember, I still remember you!" His voice was no longer violent and impatient, as if he welcomed this long-awaited man from the bottom of his heart. VIP. Yuan Kang gave a respectful salute.For him, stepping into this door has already put his family and life as a bet.If this matter got to Shunfu, then the despicable Ushi might really have killed Sena Hime and Takechiyo.Thinking of this, even if Yuan Kang wanted to laugh, he couldn't. Nobunaga's sincere kindness made Sanhe people feel warm in their hearts.But is this Nobunaga's sincerity?Oda and Matsudaira have been enemies for three generations!This proud general who took the rank of Yiyuan leader in Tianlewa actually took Yuan Kang's hand with red eyes and welcomed him in. Don't be careless, he may have done this on purpose to let the Okazaki people relax their vigilance, maybe they have secretly prepared to destroy Okazaki.These ups and downs have long been seen in history.In the eyes of the Mikawa people, it was already very strange that the victor Nobunaga took the initiative to send envoys to Okazaki Castle to ask for an alliance. They did not believe that Nobunaga would treat them equally today.They hold their heads high, just to try to dilute the humiliation of being a convert as much as possible. When they entered the academy in Erdaocheng, Takikawa Kazuyoshi said: "This is the place to stay, everyone can rest assured here." As early as before everyone set off, Torii Motochu reminded everyone: "Don't be careless, those foxes want to paralyze us." "Go ahead and calculate. I will never step away from the castellan. Even if my lord meets them face to face, I will never let go of this big naginata in my hand." Honda Heihachiro said. "Of course you can't take the naginata in. You'll have to hand it over when the time comes..." Hiraiwa Chikichi folded his hands on his chest, frowning worriedly. Yuan Kang had already sat down at the head of the academy.He asked his entourage to open the windows a little, and stared at the tall turrets standing beside the Wujo River. Yuan Kang was not afraid of Nobunaga, but the dark clouds in the winter sky in the afternoon cast heavy shadows on his heart.Whether Nobunaga has some tricks or not is no longer a question.Whether you trust Nobunaga or not is another matter. Yuan Yasushi did this for the long-term plan of Okazaki Castle and for the peace and tranquility of the Kaido Three Kingdoms.But how can Shi really understand his true meaning?Had he not made an effort to gain his true understanding?All kinds of introspection constantly prick Yuan Kang's heart. "Songping Yuankang disregarded the life and death of his wife and children in order to realize his ambition!" If he was so abused by the world, he would not be as good as his mother Yu Da. Today, he was able to meet and form an alliance with Nobunaga smoothly, and it was also due to the efforts of his mother. Yuan Kang knew this very well.The mother's efforts to influence Mizuno Nobumoto and Hisamatsu Sado are nothing more than to create a harmonious atmosphere between Matsudaira and Oda.The cruel scene of Shi Zhen crucifying someone and then hanging him up for public display reappeared before Yuan Kang's eyes. "Leave everything to me. Young children, don't talk, and leave everything to me!" At this moment, the voice of Shinrokuro Uemura reprimanding his grandson Heihachiro Honda came from the next room. "Why don't we guard the lord?" Heihachiro thought it was extremely absurd, and he showed no mercy to his grandfather Shinrokuro Uemura. "We'll just wait here, in case something happens, what should we do?" "We will call you loudly at that time, how can you all follow the lord? That will shame the lord's reputation and be ridiculed as a coward." Uemura Shinrokuro said. Yuan Kang was about to prick up his ears to listen carefully when his envoy came. "Master Oda Owari Morishinaga is waiting in the main hall of the city. Please come with me, sir." "Thank you." Yuan Kang stood up and straightened his clothes.Uemura Shinrokuro held his sword and stood up immediately.Yuan Kangchao's restless followers smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm going." After speaking, he took Xin Liulang away proudly.Nobunaga probably won't put forward any harsh conditions, but as long as it can be avoided, Yuan Yasu doesn't want to irritate Junfu's Shizhen. When Yuan Kang led Xin Rokuro to the city, a samurai shouted from a distance: "Those with swords retreat." He blocks Shinrokuro.Yuan Kang deliberately didn't look back.Shinrokuro didn't seem to hear, he still followed Yuan Kang with his head held high.Someone shouted again: "Don't be rude in front of the lord!" When they were about to enter the hall, the Oda ministers standing side by side turned their heads to the two master ministers at the same time. "According to Qingzhou's rules, you can't bring a knife in front of the lord. Take the knife and step back!" "No!" Shinrokuro suddenly snapped back, "Shinrokuro Uemura, the famous Matsudaira family, is righteous, holding the master's sword and following the master, what's wrong?" "Shut up!" shouted Oda Brewery, who was sitting at the top, "This is not Okazaki, it's Kiyosu Castle!" "No matter which city you are in, even on the battlefield. Wherever Songping Yuanyasu goes, there must be guards with swords following him. Why are you so afraid of those with swords? As long as I have breath, I will never leave my lord for half a step. " Yuan Kang stood silently, and the wine maker was about to get up, but Nobunaga who was sitting in front of him reached out to stop him. "Is it Mikawa's veteran Uemura?" "Yes." Yuan Kang replied. "Uemura's bravery is well known to the world. The three generations of Matsudaira's veterans are loyal. It's okay, let him come in together." Nobunaga said. Uemura was a little dazed for a moment, but immediately closed his lips tightly and followed Moto Yasushi into the hall.He still couldn't trust Nobunaga, if he attacked Yuan Kang, he immediately handed the sword to Yuan Kang, and he would gladly die. "There are rare warriors in Mikawa. The one who killed Iwamatsu Yaya on the spot was Shinrokuro Uemura." Yuan Yasushi said.Hearing this, Nobunaga looked at him, smiled heartily, and pointed to the seat prepared for him. "It's been thirteen years since I left, I really miss it!" Yuan Kang sat down and bowed his head respectfully.He didn't feel humiliated, but sincerely expressed his miss to Nobunaga.Back then, Nobunaga took good care of him and gave him his beloved war horse, as if it was right in front of his eyes. Nobunaga, who has never bowed his head to others, also bowed his head to signal: "The things about my childhood are really nostalgic, I really want to see you!" Needless to say, when his father-in-law Saito Dozo passed away, Nobunaga did not bow his head even in front of his father's memorial tablet, but threw the joss stick in his hand.Today, here, he actually bowed his head to Yuan Kang. All the Owari generals couldn't help but look at each other: our lord actually bowed his head, how on earth is he going to treat the Sanhe people? "Thinking of your long hostage career in Junfu, I also feel pain from time to time." "Yuan Kang often dreams of you." "Now it's time for us to make our own decisions. You advance and you retreat, and you retreat and I advance. This is our childhood agreement." "I've always kept it in my heart. It's just Yuankang..." Nobunaga waved his hand, "You probably want to say that there are still people you care about in Junfu. I know, don't say it." Yuan Kang felt relieved and looked at Nobunaga again.That eccentric boy Master Ji is no longer there, and Nobunaga in front of him makes Yuankang feel a kind of closeness and trust. Shizhen is handsome, but like a doll, while Nobunaga has a cold and calm air, like a cold sword blade, with awe-inspiring character.Probably no general can be found more heroic than him.His cold eyes are also unforgettable.Is there anyone in the world who has changed more than Nobunaga?He is undoubtedly the person sent by heaven to replace Imagawa, who combines calmness, bravery and wisdom. Nobunaga's feelings are completely opposite.Yuan Kang didn't look as heroic and awe-inspiring as Nobunaga imagined.His cheeks are round and plump, and his lines are simple, but there is a firm confidence hidden under his supple appearance.At this age, he can win the war beautifully!Not only that, since returning to Okazaki Castle, Yuan Kang's mediation and all directions have left everyone in the world dumbfounded. Nobunaga asked the bodyguard to hold the gift.He gave Yuan Yasushi a long sword Changguang and a short sword Jiguang, and Uemura Shinrokuro a sword Xingguang. "The treasure of Mikawa is also my Nobunaga's treasure, Uemura, I give you the Xingguang." Shinrokuro raised his head and looked at Yuan Yasushi in bewilderment.He has always been convinced that Nobunaga is the enemy of the Okazaki people. This well-behaved veteran obviously did not expect Nobunaga to call him Mikawa Treasure, and he didn't know what to do for a while. "This is a reward for your loyalty, thank you quickly." Yuan Kang said. Shinrokuro's eyes immediately became moist. The wine and dishes were served, and the richly dressed servants poured wine for Nobunaga and Yuan Yasu courteously from time to time. Contrary to what the Okazaki people had imagined in advance, Nobunaga treated Motoyasu with gentleness, without the arrogance of a victor at all.Yuan Kang couldn't help feeling terrified.Since the other party treats him like this, he can't be careless.Yuan Kang never planned to be a minister to Nobunaga, and Nobunaga might not let him perform the ceremony of a monarch and minister.But Yuan Kang still felt heavy on his shoulders. The two sides seemed to be equal, but Yuan Kang felt that he was suppressed by the other party's fierce temperament.But apart from Nobunaga, how many people are worth relying on? The Imagawa family really can't count on it at all.Takeda of Kai and Hojo of Odawara are like two fierce tigers, they never stop coveting the territory of the Imagawa clan, and it is impossible for other close neighbors to help him. "Takechiyo, I'll dance for you, and you can stop drinking." Drunken, Nobunaga called Yuan Yasushi by his baby name.He stood up and proudly danced his best "Dun Sheng" 〖Fifty years of life are like dreams and illusions. As long as there is life, there is death. What regrets for a strong man? 〗 Nobunaga's dancing posture does not match the song. He is obviously not lamenting the impermanence of life, but cheering for everyone.Not long after, Yuan Kang also stood up and danced. Misty paradise, misty journey, I only hope that this life will be sent to the Buddha... Yuan Kang's voice and posture formed a sharp contrast with Nobunaga's.If it is said that Nobunaga's singing and dancing are open and close, which is exciting, Yuan Kang's singing and dancing are remote and quiet, making people feel like still water. "well!" Nobunaga gulped down his wine happily.He has a habit of forcibly persuading him to drink when he is drunk.At this time, he drank a large glass of wine and persuaded Yuan Kang: "Take Chiyo, this is the wine that strengthens our friendship!" Everyone looked at Yuan Kang anxiously.They knew that if they refused, the irascible Nobunaga would explode on the spot. Yuan Kang took the wine glass with a smile. "I'm very happy..." With a natural expression, he gulped down his drink. Nobunaga laughed heartily.He was very happy that what he lacked was exactly what Yuan Kang possessed. "Takechiyo, tomorrow we will play as we did when we were young. Let's ride horses to Atsuta together. The post house you lived in at that time is still there." People finally felt relieved.They had never seen Nobunaga so forthright, drinking so much.While everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but develop a good impression of Yuan Kang. Although it is said that "things of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups", Nobunaga and Yuan Kang not only have opposite temperaments, but also have completely different appearances.Nobunaga was tall and slender, while Yuan Yasushi was broad and fat.Nobunaga's eyebrows were tight and raised, while Yuan Kang's eyebrows were parted and the tails of his eyebrows drooped.Nobunaga's nose is straight, while Yuan Kang's is thick and fleshy.But the two are so close, far beyond the level of Fan Ke. When the two galloped out of Qingzhou City, the personal guards of the two families no longer suspected each other. Nobunaga led Iwamuro Shigekyu and Hasegawa Hashisuke, Motoyasu followed Torii Mototada and Honda Heihachiro, and rushed towards Atsuta excitedly. "I hope you and I can get along alone." Nobunaga ordered his entourage to slow down, get rid of everyone, and smiled; Yuan Kang also nodded with a smile. "About the boundary between Mikawa and Owari..." "It has to be clearly laid down." "I'll send Takikawa Kazumashi and Hayashi Sado. What about you?" "Ishikawa Suzumasa and Gao Liqing grow up." "Place?" "How is Narumi Castle?" "it is good." In a short while, the two had gently put an end to decades of disputes and wars. The turrets of Furuno Castle looked particularly tall and straight under the blue sky in winter, and Tennoji Temple was shining brightly against the sun. "There's something I've been meaning to ask." "What's the matter? Please don't be polite." "After the battle of Tianlewa, in what order will you reward your retainers?" "Hehehe." Nobunaga smiled, "You, you want to find out about my old background through this matter. But I don't need to hide it. The first thing I reward is Liang Tian Zhenggang." "Why?" "If he hadn't seized the opportunity in time, the victory would not have been possible." "Secondly?" "It was Koheita Hattori who was the first to stab Yoshimoto." "Then what about the new Maori assistant who took the head of the Giyuan?" "third." "Oh." That's the end of the conversation.Yuan Kang has fully understood Nobunaga's method of controlling his subordinates.Whether you can get the head is luck, and the warrior who rushes to the front should be rewarded greatly. After a while, the two arrived in Retian.Arriving in front of the gate of the shrine they were familiar with, when Yuan Yasu saw the gray-haired Kato Shusuke from a distance, the corners of his eyes immediately became moist. There was a woman standing side by side with the book assistant.When Yuan Kang saw that she was the biological mother Yuda who was invited from Aguju City by Nobunaga in the name of visiting Atsuta Shrine, he was deeply moved by Nobunaga. Yuan Kang jumped off the horse steadily and walked towards his mother Yu Da.
