Warring States Eagle

In Yoshihisa Shimadzu's heart, his second brother Yoshihiro Shimadzu has made great contributions to the Shimadzu family. ?. .Back then, in order to avoid being threatened by the Luo family whose influence had penetrated into the Nanhizen area, and to focus the family's energy on dealing with the hostile noble families in Satsuma, the eight-year-old second brother was taken as a hostage to the Luo family village. Midtown.

Since then, for a full 12 years, he has not seen his second brother Yoshihiro Shimadzu in person again, and his father, mother and others only kept in touch with his second brother through letters.Although my father used to scold the second brother for being incompetent at home during the period, and being with the supervisor of the Luo family, every time he wrote a letter, he could only report to the family that he was safe, but he did not send some secrets of the Luo family to the family. There are many strange methods and techniques of the Roche family that the surrounding daimyo care about.

Even though the second younger brother has not been able to do what his father expected, he used his opportunity to be with the governor of the Luo family to secretly send useful information to the family, but only by virtue of his being a hostage by staying with the Kyushu eagle Luo Shi Masamurai. The credit for gaining time for the family to develop and bringing temporary security is enough to make the Shimadzu family feel grateful to him.For so many years, Shimadzu Yoshihisa has been looking forward to the day when he will meet his second brother again, and now he finally has such an opportunity.In the end, it turned out that he had a conflict with his father, which is really unpredictable. "Hizen Eagle Roshi Masara, how did you influence my brother?" Facing his second brother Yoshihiro Shimadzu's changes.Shimadzu Yoshihisa couldn't help but ponder.

In fact.Yoshihiro Shimadzu was not the only one who was influenced by Zhengliang, at least in Kyoto at this time.There are also two people whose life trajectories have changed because of the Luo family and the family governor of the Luo family.

In the square courtyard of a private house in Kyoto, Viper Saito Michizo, who escaped from Mino country a month ago, was slowly putting away a letter.

The letter paper of the letter is very exquisite, and it can be seen at a glance that it is the unique paper of the Luo family, because at this time in the entire Wa Kingdom, only the territory of this overlord daimyo can produce such exquisite paper.Moreover, this kind of paper is rarely spread outside the Luo family's territory, so this kind of paper has become a favorite and treasured item of many famous officials. "Oh, it seems that I am old!"

Gently wipe the eyelids with your hands.Saito Michizo said to himself mockingly.It's no wonder that Saito Dosan was so touched. After all, he was attacked by his own son. In addition to losing everything he had managed in Mino country all his life, he also lost two of his own sons there.Afterwards, he brought several family members under the protection of the few remaining retainers.He lived and slept in the open air, sneaked from Mino country to Kyoto with extreme difficulty, and along the way, he even experienced greater hardships than when he gradually rose from a small oil merchant.

Fortunately, in the Kyoto area, he and his group were warmly entertained by Yi Shenglong, a retainer of the Luo family, and finally settled down in this private house. There were even some warriors of the Luo family nearby secretly protecting his family. Son, but in Saito Dosan's view, this is considered surveillance.

During this period, he also communicated several letters with his son-in-law Masaragi. During this process, the news of the Luo family's battle in Itsukushima had already spread to the capital.

"You really deserve to be the son-in-law of Saito Dosan!" Daosan, who heard the news, praised him even more in front of his retainers.Of course, it's just a rumor from the people of Kyoto, and it can't be believed. Therefore, in the previous letter, Daozan tried to test his mysterious son-in-law by congratulating his son-in-law.What made Dao San praise the mysterious son-in-law again was that the other party didn't answer his spying directly, but just told him in the letter that he didn't need to worry too much, and that he could live in Kyoto with peace of mind.

"Hehe, what an interesting son-in-law!" Saito Dozo found that he suddenly liked this kind of thing of fighting against his son-in-law in the letter.And in the letter, he found that this son-in-law seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and he didn't mention whether he was going to the Luo family's territory.

Yes, Daozan suffered a lot of hardships, and even at this time he still needs the help of his son-in-law Zheng Liang to settle down in Kyoto, but he has no plans to go to join his son-in-law Zheng Liang for the time being.Of course, he also admitted that he did not take Zheng Liang's reminder to him seriously, and he did make a big mistake.But he doesn't regret it.

In his eyes, the son-in-law Zhengliang must not be underestimated. Everything this son-in-law does has a purpose, otherwise this son-in-law would not have sent people all the way from Kyushu Hizen to the general of the Mino Kingdom in the central part of the Wa Kingdom. His own pearl was kidnapped and taken away.

All the actions of this son-in-law must not be underestimated.Although, from a geographical point of view, the distance between Meinong Kingdom and the territory of the Luo family is still far away for the time being.But many things can't be avoided just because of the geographical distance. With Daosan's own style, he naturally tries to push these uncontrollable things away from his side as much as possible.

What's more, Daosan never liked to be passive. If he followed Zheng Liang's advice, Daosan would feel a little led by the nose by Zheng Liang's son-in-law, which made him resist a little.Because of this, Dao San would not go to the Luo family's territory to join the Luo family.Once he goes there, he will become a bird in a cage, and even become a tool for the Luo family to seize the Meinong country in the future.

"Have you thought too much? Hehe, don't underestimate the ambition of this son-in-law!"

Saito said to himself in his heart.As for how he saw Zhengliang's son-in-law's ambition?very simple.Take a look at the personnel arrangement of Luo's family in Kyoto, as well as the arrangement in Mino Country.If this son-in-law has no ambitions, with his name far away in the Kyushu region, why would he make so many arrangements so far away from the territory?Dao San can even be sure that the Luo family has arrangements in places other than Kyoto and Mino.There are some arrangements in other places that he doesn't know yet.

Such an ambitious son-in-law.As Dao San who also has a lot of ambitions, can he not be on guard?This is also the real reason why he was unwilling to completely trust Zhengliang, the son-in-law, when he was in Mino Country.Is there no threat from a long distance?This is actually very difficult to determine, you know.He said that San became the overlord of Meinong Kingdom from a person with nothing.With such a powerful name as the Luo family, it is absolutely possible to make a storm in the Meinong country from a long distance, and even seize the Meinong country.Daosan had to guard against this.

I don't plan to go to the Luo family's territory to join Zhengliang's son-in-law.Daosan had a good reason, but this son-in-law deliberately did not mention inviting him to the Luo family's territory to reunite with his daughter. In Daosan's view, Zhengliang, the son-in-law, was afraid.

Is this really true?Of course not, in fact, Zhengliang is too lazy to cause trouble.Once Saito Dosan, a guy known for his conspiracies and tricks, entered Luo's house, there was no guarantee that something would happen, and then he would have to spend some time to deal with these matters.This is really unnecessary.Moreover, Zheng Liang could tell from the several letters he had with this father-in-law that this father-in-law had no intention of taking refuge in him, so he simply pushed the boat along and thanked this extraordinary father-in-law outside the door.

It may appear to others.Masaragi seemed to be overly cautious. Even if Saito Dozo was a viper, after losing Mino country, he was just a toothless viper, and he couldn't cause too much trouble.

Is this the case again?Then you're obviously going to be disappointed.After settling down in the Kyoto area, Saito Michizo immediately showed his broken fangs.He let a few loyal subordinates who followed him to Kyoto lurk back to Mino Country again, and then started to spread rumors everywhere in Mino Country.

So, what is the content of the rumors?It probably means: I, Saito Dosan, is not dead yet, and I do not recognize the legitimacy of Saito Yoshiryu’s rule over his Mino country, and finally warned the people of Mino country severely, saying clearly that he is Saito Daosan will come back, the day when he returns to Meinong Kingdom will be the day when those traitors who betrayed him will suffer.

These rumors are very ruthless. First of all, Saito Dosan's remarks that did not recognize the legitimacy of Saito Yoshitaka's rule caused Saito Yoshitaka a lot of trouble, and he had to send more guards at various borders. Army, in order to prevent the surrounding forces from playing the idea of ​​Mino country.Moreover, the rumor that Saito Dosan was not dead also made some of his previous actions after the Nagaragawa World War I look ridiculous, which affected his prestige among the wealthy families of Mino country to a certain extent. .

But this is not the biggest headache, what scares everyone in Mino Country the most is the rumor that Saito Dosan is coming back for restoration and revenge.You must know that Saito Dozo has ruled the Mino country for a long time, and during this period Saito Dozo has left these people with a deep sense of fear.Now I suddenly find that there is a viper staring at you all the time in the dark, ready to bite you at any time.Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that these wealthy families are not frightened.

What surprised Zheng Liang was that during this process, Saito Dosan did not avoid any samurai of the Luo family who was responsible for "protecting" him. It seemed that he deliberately told Zheng Liang behind these people that he, Saito Dosan, There is no need for my son-in-law to avoid him, nor is there any secret to hide.Of course, Zheng Liang would never believe this. Regarding Saito Dosan, a viper, Zheng Liang never regarded him as a simple father-in-law.

Sure enough, the real purpose of Saito Dosan came out very soon. After letting Masatoshi clearly understand the plan against the Mino country, he really asked the Luo family to provide some information such as information and even in the process. It is supported by coins and the like.

Out of the same hope that the local area of ​​Mino Country will be chaotic, and the Luo family can also take the opportunity to deepen their influence in the Mino region through Saito Dosan's methods, Masahiro naturally responded directly to Saito Dosan's request allowed.

But this also made Zheng Liang vigilant.Obviously, Saito Dosan knew that Luo's family had arranged a lot of eyeliners in Mino Country.Now Saito Dosan also realized that the Luo family's eyeliner was powerful, and he began to pay attention to it.This is not a good thing, no one knows that Saito Dozo will be able to return to Mino Country in the future, but once he returns, he may immediately attack these eyeliners of the Luo family.Mino Country, Owari Country and other places are where important historical events will take place in the future. It took the Luo family more than ten years of planning and a lot of manpower and material resources to establish an intelligence system in the local area. , in order to more thoroughly monitor all movements in these areas.Zheng Liang didn't want the intelligence system established with great difficulty to be destroyed by Dao San, which would affect some future plans of the Luo family.

Therefore, in Zheng Liang's view, the request made by Saito Dozo this time was obviously for the purpose of spying on the details of the Luo family's local intelligence system, so Zheng Liang immediately ordered that the intelligence personnel of the Luo family would never allow any contact with Saito Dozo The Luo family will only provide relevant information to Saito Dosan through people who are already familiar with Dosan in Kyoto.As for whether the information will be biased due to time delays and thus affect Saito Dosan's strategy, that is not the Luo's family's consideration. After all, the Luo's family has done their best to provide information.

After this incident, Zheng Liang fully realized that this father-in-law will never make people worry-free, and anyone will be bitten by him if he is not careful.As expected, the viper is still a viper, and even in the end of living under the fence today, it can still stretch out its broken fangs in another way, and then spray out the venom.A toothless viper is still poisonous.Naturally, Zheng Liang couldn't ask for trouble to invite such a father-in-law back. )
