The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Pan Yun never saw him at all.

He was not worthy of Pan Yun giving up his healing to come out to see him, so Xue Shao rejected him: "Since Shan Mingjun has no intention of continuing the attack, we will go back first. Many of our people are injured and we need to go back for treatment."

Takeda Hisasuna quickly stopped him: "If you go back like this, you will lose the chance of revenge."

Xue Shao said solemnly: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. We cannot disregard the lives of the heroes just for the sake of revenge."

The heroes all stood by with swords in their arms and watched coldly.

Takeda Hisasuna realized that he could not persuade them, and that the head of the family had to step in, and Pan Yun might agree;
Only after Pan Jun agreed did these heroes take action.

He said nothing more. After retreating, he asked his men to stay where they were. Then he grabbed a horse and left urgently with the retainer to go back and persuade Yamana Mochitoyo.

Xue Shao watched him leave coldly, and did not leave immediately with the knights as he had shown.

Chen Liutao and Qu Zhixing stood behind him on his left and right without him noticing, and watched Takeda Hisasuna leave in silence.

Xue Shao turned around and said, "Ask Tao Yanbai to take out all the medicine from the Wulin League to heal everyone. We will have to stay here for at least two more days."

Chen Liutao and Qu Zhixing looked at each other and agreed.

Xue Shao guessed correctly, they did stay here for two days.

First, in the evening, Yamana Mochitoyo and Takeda Hisatana came quietly and asked Pan Yun to take action against Yamaguchikan.

Pan Jun's face was rosy and she didn't look hurt at all.

Facing Yamana Motoyo's invitation, Pan Yun smiled slightly and asked in return: "I want 5,000 soldiers and horses, are you willing to give them to me, Mr. Yamana?"

Yamana Mochitoyo froze for a moment, and said with a forced smile, "I've heard from Takeda that Miss Pan can summon thunderbolts to the world. I think with Miss Pan's ability, even if she leads 500 soldiers, it would be as easy as turning her hand over to attack Yamaguchi Pavilion."

"It's not easy to communicate with the heaven and earth and make deals with the gods. You have to pay a huge price every time," Pan Yun asked, "If it was just revenge, I could have taken it slow. Now one of the culprits, Ouchi Masako, is dead, and only Ouchi Kyohiro is left. I have plenty of time to assassinate him. Why should I waste my life to attract thunder?"

Yamana Mochitoyo was unhappy: "Ms. Pan promised to cooperate..."

Pan Yun's face darkened. "I agreed to cooperate, and I did it, but Yamana-kun didn't even show the sincerity of an ally. Why should we take risks for you?"

Yamana Mochitoyo suddenly came to his senses. He concealed the combat strength of the Ouchi clan.

He swallowed and explained guiltily: "I, I thought Zhutian told Miss Pan, but I didn't expect him to be so bold..."

Pan Yun sneered and said, "Because of the miscalculation, my people fell into the trap of the Ouchi clan, and many were injured. One was seriously injured and is still unconscious. Do you know who the seriously injured person is?"

Pan Yun said with a sad face: "His surname is Zhang. He is the nephew of my Great Ming Master and an outstanding disciple of Longhu Mountain Academy. Before I left, our teachers and elders repeatedly told me to take good care of him. As a result, he is now seriously injured."

Yamana Mochitoyo didn't expect Zhang Weiliang to be so important, and hurriedly said, "I'll ask the doctor to come over immediately. Just tell me what medicine you need."

He said that all this was an accident, but Pan Yun couldn't give up this great opportunity.

Pan Yun stood still as a mountain and said, "If you want me to take action, Shan Mingjun must give me 5,000 soldiers and horses."

She stared at him with a stern look in her eyes, "Mr. Yamana, if you can't even get 5,000 soldiers, even if I take down Yamaguchi-kan, can you hold it?

Beyond Yamaguchikan, the Ouchi clan still has half of their territory. The Mori clan and the Yoshikawa clan will not sit idly by. Can you snatch it from them and hold it after snatching it?" Pan Yun sneered: "What's the point of snatching it if you can't hold it?"

Yamana Mochitoyo was silent for a while, then he sat up straight on his toes, bowed his head and asked respectfully, "In your opinion, Miss Pan, with 5,000 soldiers, what are the chances of taking Yamaguchi-kan? And what are the chances of keeping Yamaguchi-kan?"

Pan Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Sixty percent. I don't know how close the relationship between the Ouchi clan and the Izumo Taisha is. Yamaguchi-kan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we take it, the chance of keeping it is 80 percent."

Pan Yun's eyes flashed darkly. "However, it is impossible for Mr. Yamana to completely take over the land behind Yamaguchi-kan. As far as I know, the Mori family has a good relationship with Izumo Taisha Shrine and Ichibata Temple. The head of the family has been recuperating in Ichibata Temple for many years, and his health has improved recently."

Pan Yun pointedly said, "If he asks Izumo Taisha and Ichibata Temple to help, I, a Taoist priest from outside, can't trouble the mountain gods here too much."

The little flame in Yamana Mochitoyo's heart was extinguished with a puff.

He was reluctant to give so many people to Pan Yun. There was only a 60% chance that he would not be able to destroy the Ouchi clan. He might also attract revenge from the Izumo Taisha and the powerful enemy the Mori clan...

Yamana Mochitoyo's mind completely tilted towards peace. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "If we make peace, how much territory can we keep?"

Pan Yun smiled: "How much do you want to keep, Mr. Yamana?"

Yamana Mochitoyo: "I want to stay too. We fought so hard to get this place. Why shouldn't I stay?"

Pan Yun smiled and said, "You have great ambition. Mr. Yamana can give it a try."

Yamana Mochitoyo tried it, and the negotiations almost broke down.

The negotiation field is also a battlefield. At first, you are strong, then you weaken, and finally you are exhausted. Yamana Mochitoyo was suppressed, and it was difficult for him to turn the situation around with his intelligence.

But continuing the stalemate was not a solution. Although Yamana Mochitoyo was stupid, his army was stationed outside Yamaguchi-kan, and Otagaki Ike was not stupid.

He seemed to realize that the Ouchi clan was also wary, and after a little thought he realized that they were wary of Pan Yun, so Otagaki Ieka personally came to ask Pan Yun to come forward.

Pan Yun smiled and said to Xue Shao: "He's finally here. If he doesn't come, I will really go directly to Da Nei Jiaohong to ask for things and leave."

Xue Shao smiled and went to see Otagaki Ieka on her behalf.

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Shao came in with a stack of lists to see Pan Yun.

Pan Jun reached out to take it and glanced at it. In addition to the two prescriptions, there were also thank-you gifts from Yamana to the heroes, including silver, gold, pearls, and various fine irons and weapons.

Pan Yun's name was listed last, and she even had a family of craftsmen under her name.

Pan Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Shao.

Xue Shao said: "I said you wanted to make a sword by yourself, but you don't know how to do it, so he picked a master craftsman from the Yamana clan to give you. In order to let him follow you with peace of mind, Otagaki Jiage sent his whole family over."

Pan Yun closed the list with satisfaction: "See, there are still smart people in this world."

The Otagaki family is intelligent, and the Ouchi family is no less intelligent.

As soon as Naito Hironori saw Pan Yun appear behind Yamana Mochitoyo, he knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and the family head's plan to simply return the occupied territory would ultimately fail.

He glanced indifferently at Otagi Jiage who was following Pan Yun, knowing that this was his plan. (End of this chapter)
