Pillars of the Wu family

"Hehe, there are three levels of alliances. From the highest-level eternal blood alliance to the lowest-level alliance under the city, the Jiaxiangjun Three Kingdoms Alliance is a higher-level alliance that keeps watch over each other. Yu was still in Kyoto when he drafted the alliance, so The covenant signed by Imagawa Jibu and Yu can only be regarded as an ordinary covenant of mutual benefit. The Imagawa family paid far less attention to this covenant than the Kosojun Three Kingdoms Alliance. I like little Ahu very much, but Yu still has to say that the treatment is still quite poor."

Kira Yoshishi didn't mind his wife knowing the ins and outs of signing the covenant at the time. At that time, the Kira family was not very good at facing the suppression of the Miyoshi family in Kyoto. The three strikes of the ax are very bluffing at first glance, no matter how powerful a master is, if he can't survive the three blows, he will still die.

It is wonderful to win the strong with the weak, but once the trick is seen through, it will be an embarrassing situation. In the last half a year in Kinai, Kirayoshi tried his best to maintain a good appearance, but in fact he has been looking for urgently. A more suitable base for your own development.

Kinai is a big quagmire, without absolute strength or perfect opportunity, stepping into this area at will is to seek death, just like Ouchi Yoshiko after the Battle of Funaokayama, and Hosokawa Takakuni after the collapse of everything , Kizawa Nagamasa during the Taiheiji battle, and Hosokawa Harumoto after the Eguchi battle.

These people are a generation of heroes, and they are first-class masters in terms of scheming, military strategy, and resourcefulness, not even inferior to the dragon, tiger, lion or devil monkey tortoise in Kanto. What they lack is not timing, luck, and wrong choices. Before gaining an absolute dominant position, he blindly pursued Kinai dominance but put his life and even his family business in the muddy quagmire of Kinai.

Since ancient times, Wuji and Qidao have regarded the five prefectures in Guinea as the essence of the world.There is an overripe fruit in Kinai, which exudes a seductive and deadly fragrance. No matter how many scheming methods you have, as long as you break into the one-acre three-point land in Kinai, you will have a way to kill your flesh and blood. Erjing, it is not only a swamp but also a meat grinder.Luck without the Demon King must never be created.

Although the Imagawa family didn't know the real situation of the Kira family at the beginning, they could still see that the Miyoshi family was a giant, and being cheated by the Kira family twice in a row was enough to teach them a lesson. It is impossible to start from Awa's Marunochi and become the overlord of Kinai, so the level of the alliance between the Imagawa family and the Kira family is not high.Even after procrastinating for a while, I told him with actions that I, Imagawa Yoshimoto, don't think much of you.

Later, the covenant was finally concluded, relying on the Kira family to win several beautiful wars with less, ignoring all the weaknesses of the Kira family under the strong aura, but as a bystander, Yoshimoto Imagawa knew very well that the weakness of the Kira family was the territory The small army is small, and the allies are extremely unreliable.

If the Miyoshi family wakes up in time.First step closer to the shogunate to satisfy Ashikaga Yoshiki's vanity, and then block the Kira family from economic, military, and even political aspects. As for the Yokka Yoshihide who is a master behind Kinai, and the Enryakuji Temple that Sakamoto covets, there is still inexplicable hatred Asai Hisamasa of Kamikira's family will also participate. This blockade does not require fighting, but only needs to jointly suppress the trade of Sakamoto, the economic center.In a few years' time, the prestigious Kira family will disappear. [

Seeing this step, Imagawa Yoshimoto has always maintained a close relationship with the Kira family, and even sent his daughter to him. In Echigo, Imagawa Yoshimoto was even more disappointed with the decision of the Kira family, so he simply did not mention the so-called covenant and marriage.

Later, Nagao Jinghu fell ill, and Echigo fell into a huge crisis. He taunted and sneered at him. It can be said that no one in the world was optimistic about the Kira family at that time.The "Ashikaga Sosaburo", who became famous in several battles in Kyoto, was beaten by Echigo and even Koshin's natives, throwing up his helmet and armor and fled back to Kyoto in embarrassment.

As a result, he guessed wrong again. Yoshito Kira defeated the Takeda army in the Battle of Kawanakajima and won a precious victory. However, his brother-in-law Harunobu Takeda, who had always had high expectations, was beaten very miserably. After a turnaround, Imagawa Yoshimoto sent his master Taiyuan Xuezhai there.That's why there is the story of sending Jing Yi Naotora later.

Tiger Hime stuck out her tongue and was surprised that there was a complicated story behind this. No wonder her highness didn't mention the covenant with the Imagawa family at all. In fact, the level of the covenant between the two parties was very low. After Echigo's rapid rise, I will think about it later. To strengthen the covenant, one must face the dissatisfaction of the Takeda family, which is directly hostile to Echigo, and the Hojo family, which is first indirectly hostile and then directly hostile.

Weighing the pros and cons, Imagawa Yoshimoto still chose the stability of the Jiaxiangjun Three Kingdoms Alliance. After all, it was created by his master Taiyuan Xuezhai. Thanks to this, without a stable rear, he did not dare to send [-] to [-] troops to conquer Sanhe Kingdom repeatedly.

When Kira Yoshitoshi and Nagao Toraji were talking about the Suruga Imagawa family in a low voice, far away in Junfu, Tokaido, Imagawa Yoshimoto was holding a tea party. The samurai participating in the meeting came from all the elite samurai of Suenen San, including Including the family governor of Shang Lengquan's family, it is beneficial for the two powers to be Nayan Lengquan.

Asahina Shinoki personally served as the tea head to make a bowl of rich matcha for Imagawa Yoshimoto. After going through complicated steps, all the samurai sitting in the VIP seats tasted the bowl of tea soup one by one. The detained soldiers should be self-sustaining if their national strength is slightly restored. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the town government agreed on the bottom line of both parties. The town government official stated that if there is an accident, the land of the four counties will not be stained. Presumably, you should still trust the town government official's promise Right? For the sake of Achun and Taro, the family will never let that 'accident' happen."

Imagawa Yoshimoto issued a domineering declaration that made the samurai present feel uneasy. Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was sitting at the end of the VIP seat, bowed and said excitedly: "My Imagawa family has [-] tigers, and the lord only needs to order that one. A small 'accident' sweeps away Kai! Princess Achun and His Highness Yixin will not be affected in any way."

Yoshiya Kira turned his face away in disgust, sneered and said with a sneer: "Is Yuan Kangdian trying to intimidate my Kira family? Don't forget that my Imagawa family and my younger brother are both ministers of the shogunate, and even married A close ally! I believe that my father will never sit back and watch my Ashikaga clan fight each other!"

The complexions of the samurai present changed, and some of them showed surprise, and some looked regretfully at Matsudaira Motoyasu. It is really unfortunate that it is really unlucky to speak big words and fall into the hands of Kira Yoshian.Everyone in the world knows that Kira Yoshian and the general of the town guard are brothers. The elder brother is called Wanzhuwan, and the younger is called Wansongwan.When you say Kira Yoshitoshi in front of Kira Yoshian, you are asking for trouble.

Songping Yuanyasu was regretting and blaming himself, but he didn't want a child to jump out of his back and shouted: "What are you talking about! How dare you insult my Highness, I will fight you!"

"Heihachiro! Sit down for me! This is not a place for you to interrupt!" Matsudaira Motoyasu hurriedly grabbed the reckless child, bowed eagerly to Kira Yoshian, and said apologetically, "Please be happy and angry, Tojo-den. Companion is a local child from the country. It is inevitable that I will panic when I see such a big scene for the first time. Speaking of it, I, Takechiyo, was nervous and dropped a tea bowl worth twenty guan when I attended the tea party for the first time. It took a month to slow down..."

Matsudaira Motoyasu's rambling apology should turn around the embarrassing situation. The samurai of the Imagawa family all showed good-natured smiles, and many samurai who participated in the tea party also joked a little.Matsudaira Motoyasu was not angry, so he followed everyone with a silly smile and admitted that he was too young at the time, and he learned it slowly after studying with you for a long time.

Imagawa Yoshimoto admires this son-in-law very much. Although Matsudaira Motoyasu's main wife is his adopted daughter Sekiguchi Sena, it does not affect his respect for Matsudaira Motoyasu. He studied military strategy with Imagawa Yoshimoto for several years and achieved some success. With the unique honesty and sincerity of the samurai in the Mihe countryside, the proud samurai in Imagawa's family disdain to bully him.Rude samurai were happy to tease him, shrewd samurai would chat with him occasionally, and stupid samurai thought he was too stupid to threaten him. In short, he had almost no enemies, except for Kira Yoshian in front of him.

For some unknown reason, Yoshiyasu Kira began to hate Matsudaira Motoyasu. The son of a small country daimyo, Matsudaira Motoyasu, was able to talk to Imagawa Yoshimoto like a fluent speaker, and he was able to chat with the Imagawa family's descendants. Almost no one said anything. His bad words, and in the past few years in Junfu, except for the birth of a son Wanzhuwan.Didn't get anything. [

Perhaps out of jealousy or hostility between competitors, Yoshiyasu Kira and Motoyasu Matsudaira were sent to Sanhe last year to prepare for the Shangluo outpost. The idiot Shibo Yoshihiro turned out to be the best with him.He was so angry that he forgot about the business, and by the time he realized it, he had already returned to Tojo Castle.

Although his father-in-law Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't blame himself, the pimples in his heart are always unavoidable. Looking at everyone's smiles, he always feels that he is mocking his own stupidity and ability, and seeing Matsudaira Motoyasu's simple and honest smile is even more uncomfortable. He subconsciously feels that this The person is simple and honest on the outside and treacherous on the inside, maybe he is a character with the three ways of vipers.

Unfortunately, his reminder was not understood by Imagawa Yoshimoto at all. Tokaido Daiichi Yutori replied to him with "overthinking", "It won't be like this, just manage Mikawa Kira's territory with peace of mind." His father-in-law actually positioned the dignified royal family's legitimate son as a mediocre guard of the door, how could Kira Yoshian bear it?

Imagawa Yoshimoto said with a smile: "It's about Jia Fei, and I can rest assured to prepare the agenda for Shangluo. In the future, you should assist Yan Goro well, and keep the foundation that I have worked hard for generations! Yan Goro should also listen to the elders of the family Opinion, as a father, the Imagawa family is what it is today under the guidance of the master, so the ministers must respect it, understand?"

"Yes! My child understands!" The Imagawa family has really good looks, but at the beginning of the year, he successfully inherited the position of the family governor of the Imagawa family and became the serious master of Junyuan. However, he is still a novice and has retreated behind the scenes. Imagawa Yoshimoto gave corresponding guidance from the side, and in just a few months, the smart and studious Imagawa has really mastered the internal affairs.
