Warring States Eagle

In fact, Masarai only mentioned two points in the brief he wrote to Kunatsu regarding the Kono family's request for an armistice.

First, if there is a truce, at least the Kono family must be forced to hand over the remaining half of Ochi County. In this way, the Luo family will completely control the two counties of Ochi and Noma to the north of the Kono family, and they will be able to attack Kono from the east and west respectively. Moreover, it also controlled the import and export of Suitan into the Seto Inland Sea and the West Country area, which completely guaranteed the interests of the Luo family in the First World War in Yandao, and prevented the Miyoshi family from taking the opportunity to take a share of the pie. possible.

Second, regarding how to deal with Huna Tongzhuo's younger brother Huna Tonggong, whether to accept it or not is up to Huna Tongzhuo himself to decide.

Generally speaking, since the lord Masaragi said so, then Kunatsu will naturally ask the Kono family to hand over Kunatsugong, and then Kunatsu will take revenge on himself.Indeed, if Hunatong was still the stubborn and dead-hearted Hunatong in history, then he would definitely do so.

It's just that in this life, after studying with the lord Zhengliang for a period of time, Hu Natong didn't think so, because he had already seen the result the lord hoped for from the lord Zhengliang's reply, which was to pretend to be righteous and forgiving. Huna Tonggong let Huna Tonggong stay at Kono's house.Moreover, it is also necessary to make it clear to the Kono family that they must make sure not to defeat the ideas of the Huna Tonggong clan.I believe that after this incident of being abandoned and betrayed, Kuna Tonggong will definitely hold grudges against everyone in the Kono family, including the daimyo Kono Tsunao. This is tantamount to planting a time bomb inside the Kono family.What's more, even if he was let go.I believe that Kuna Tonggong is still worried every day that he will be persecuted by Kuna Tong.People who are able to watch themselves hate are haunted by fear every day.Isn't that better revenge?

"What? You want to hand over the remaining half of Ochi County?" Just as Kunatsu was scheming about the Kono family and his younger brother Kunatsugong.In the meeting hall of Kono's home town, Tang Zhucheng, there was an exclamation loud enough to travel several miles.And the owner of this voice is Kono Tsunao.

"Yes... yes." Amid Kono Tsunao's almost roaring voice, the Kono family envoy who was covered in scars reported tremblingly.Ever since he was kicked out of the Luo family's camp by Hu Natong, in order to avoid being angered by his own family name, this emissary simply asked his servants to beat him severely. Afterwards, he killed the two servants who did it with hatred, and then Pretending to be beaten up by the head of the Luo family in order to protect the interests of the Kono family, he returned to Tangzhu Castle.He also reported the Luo family's request for a truce to the daimyo Kono Tsunao, and that's how the scene happened just now. "Too much deception, really too much deception!" Tsunao Kono, who was over 50 years old above the main seat, shouted with a ferocious expression at this time.

All the retainers of the Kono family in the meeting hall lowered their heads at this time, and carefully counted the wooden patterns on the floor.Some of the retainers even murmured in their hearts: "Too much bullying? It seems that a few years ago, you Kono Tongzhi was often bullied by the Hosokawa family in the Sanuki country, right? A lot of words, let alone not long ago , My family was beaten dizzy by the Luo family. Anyway, now the Luo family wants to cut off all the territory directly under your clan, so I beg you, Kono Tongzhi, to send it out quickly, so as not to provoke the nemesis of the Luo family to invade everywhere. At that time, if you accidentally set your sights on our territory, then you will be in bad luck."

While these retainers were muttering to themselves, Kono Tongzhi, who was above the main seat, was furiously shouting.While blindfolded, he secretly glanced at the expressions of the retainers below, taking their expressions into his eyes one by one.

Seeing the expressions of these retainers who have nothing to do with him, Kono Tongzhi was secretly annoyed, but when he thought about the current situation at home, he couldn't help feeling discouraged.Back when he was young, the Kono family was the veritable guardian of the Yiyu country, controlling the military and political power of the country. When the local wealthy families took the opportunity to become independent, the Kono family, which was very prosperous for a while, could only be forced to stick to the northern Yiyu area in the end.Thinking of this, Kono Tsunao, who was originally furious, could not help but gradually calm down.

Seeing that Kono Tongzhi finally calmed down, the important minister of the family, Hiraoka Fumi, immediately said: "My lord, the Luo family is in full swing at this time, and even the Ouchi family and the Mori family are not his opponents. To ensure the stability of the family, the family can only meet the requirements of the other party."

"Hmph!" After Kono Tsuna heard the words, he stared at Fumi Hiraoka, and then snorted coldly, acquiescing to Fumi Hiraoka's suggestion.

Seeing that his lord did not continue to argue about the conditions of the Roche family's truce request, Hiraoka Fangumi felt relieved (after all, he was also afraid that his lord would be too paranoid and attract greater attacks from the Roche family), and at the same time Continued to speak:

"My lord, although the other party will cease fighting after agreeing to the conditions of the Luo family, the Luo family is ambitious. If the Luo family launches an attack on the family after obtaining the territory, then the family will inevitably be too passive. Just in case, my lord , I think that I can contact the Utsunomiya family and the Ono family in the central region, so as to jointly resist the invasion of the Luo family."

The reason why Hiraoka Fangshi did not mention the Xitusi family in Nanyiyu is mainly because the Xitusi family has formed an alliance with the Luo family, and has sent troops to cooperate with the Luo family to harass the border of the Kono family, so naturally it was not considered It's inside.

"Oh?"

Kono Tsunade heard the words but frowned.Obviously he was a bit reluctant, after all, both the Utsunomiya family and the Ono family used to be his retainers, and now he is asked to send people to contact these wealthy families who betrayed him, and even take the initiative to join hands with these wealthy families, so the Kono family has treated these wealthy families for so many years. What is going on with the family strategy?Doesn't this mean that his great name bows to his former retainer and current enemy?This is simply a humiliation to oneself, and it is another great blow to one's prestige.Besides, even if I am willing to bow my head, are those guys willing to accept it?

The Hiraoka Fangshi below obviously also saw the reason for his lord's hesitation, so he continued to advise: "My lord, at this time, our family is facing the danger of the continued invasion of the overlord Luo's family. If you hesitate a little, your family will be destroyed Ah! Please be careful, my lord. In addition, the navy of the Utsunomiya family in Iyu Beach was also captured by the Luo family's navy. The Yiyu family will definitely agree to the request. As for the Ohno family, as the Ming Guoyu said, if the family and the Utsunomiya family are both destroyed by the Luo family, then the Ohno family will also be doomed. Therefore, the Ohno family will definitely agree to this invitation from our family."

"Well, if that's the case, I agree to the Luo family's request for a truce, and temporarily stabilize the Luo family. As for the contact with the Utsunomiya family and the Ono family, you, Fang Mi, will be in charge." Said Hiraoka Fang Shi After finishing, Kono Tongzhi closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally said.

As the Kono family agreed to hand over the remaining half of Ochi County, while the Luo family stopped harassing the coastal territory of the Kono family, they also quickly dispatched the county and successfully took over the county, especially the Xiangsen City in the county.

The city is located at the southern end of Ochi County, very close to Jianshan Castle in neighboring Zhoubu County. If the Luo family intends to continue to attack the territory of the Kono family, it is this Jianshan Castle that they will seize first.The reason was that the city was right at the junction of the East and West Yiyu Kingdom. As long as the city was captured, the connection between the western area of ​​the Kono family and the eastern area could be completely cut off, making the eastern area an isolated island.The Kono family also seemed to have guessed the Luo family's plan, and understood the importance of the fortress here, so they also sent heavy troops to guard the city, and sent farmers to build and strengthen the city, preparing to make the city It was transformed into Xiongguan to the east of Kono's house.
