When Du Fei listened to Choso Gabu Motochin's thorough description of the current situation of the four countries, he began to make calculations in his mind:
From what he said, it seems that there are no strong daimyo in Shikoku at this stage. Western and Northern Shikoku are ruled by the Ichijo family and the Kono family who surrendered to Mori, while Southern Shikoku is dominated by the Chosogabe family.
The vast areas of Eastern Shikoku and Southern Shikoku were occupied by the Miyoshi family.
According to the information provided by Obata, the Ichijo family had no basis at all, but he didn't expect that the power of the Miyoshi family could extend so far. Du Fei thought to himself: If Oda Nobunaga wants to enter the capital, he will definitely fight with the Miyoshi family! Because Nijo Castle is far away
Kyoto is too close, too close to tolerate. If it is not captured, the generals supported by Oda Nobunaga will always be under the surveillance and coercion of the Miyoshi family.
Therefore, the Miyoshi family is about to face a fierce battle! At that time, they will definitely dispatch garrison troops from various places to fight near Nijo Castle. By that time
Du Fei had already sorted out his thoughts. He smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, why don't you try to expand your territory? With all due respect, the Ichijo family is really not a big problem. If we deal with it seriously, they will be wiped out in an instant.
Listening to what you said, a large part of the territory of the four countries is under the control of the Miyoshi family, why don’t we?”
"Are you talking about snatching meat from the mouths of the Mihaoshi family?" Changzong's Yuanqin was shocked: "You can't do it! The power of the Mihaoshi family is too huge! They claim to have an army of 50,000! He won't touch us.
Thank God we are destroying ourselves by touching them!"
"Don't you know the news that Oda Nobunaga wants to come to Beijing?" Du Fei felt a little disgusted when he saw that he was so timid and fearful: "You must know that the Miyoshi family will soon fight with the Oda family and Oda Nobunaga.
He is my good friend and I will definitely find a way to help him secretly when the time comes. After hearing what you said just now, I feel that opening up the Four Kingdoms battlefield is the best way to support him!"
Chosogabu Motochin was shocked, looked around and said: "How could such a thing happen if you didn't drink too much, sir?"
"Your Excellency, I, Chosou! I, Du Fei, have never been a sloppy person! I have already guessed that your Majesty wants to use my power to suppress the Ichijo family to prevent him from eyeing you, right?"
Changsong Gabe Motochin's face suddenly turned red, and he nodded with a hidden movement.
"This is not the solution. I will warn him today. When I have time to look around, he will still plot your territory. If you want to completely eliminate the threat to the Ichijo family, then you have to eradicate him completely!" Du Fei said as he spoke.
At the same time, he made a motion of raising and lowering the knife with his hand.
The head of the clan suddenly fell silent, and several close relatives and retainers around them also looked at each other. They didn't expect Du Fei to be so straightforward!
"If you can really help us wipe out the Ichijo family, how should we express our gratitude?" Chang Zongga knew that the sky would not fall into pieces, and Du Fei must have his own purpose for helping him like this.
"Haha! Come on!" Du Fei was very excited when he saw that the conversation had finally made progress: "Your family members, as long as you help me land from Tosa Country, provide the rations and materials needed by our army, and also serve as backup!
"
He suddenly stopped here, and after a pause he said: "After the matter is completed, the territory of the Ichijo family will be yours."
Chosong Gabu Yuanqin felt a little unbelievable: "Your Excellency! If you want to surrender the territory to others, what is the purpose of your trip?"
"I have said that my goal is the Miyoshi family! The territory of the Ichijo family is not enough to satisfy my appetite." Du Fei deliberately spoke wildly, so that the Changsong family would have more confidence in him.
Sure enough, Chang Zonggabu Yuan saw Du Fei's generosity in person, and immediately agreed to serve as a base for Du Fei's four-nation crusade, and proposed to send a force to cooperate with him in the battle.
"Okay! With the help of your army, my plan to conquer the four countries will definitely go more smoothly. I wonder which general will lead the army?" Du Fei did not expect that Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin was willing to send troops to help. He thought to himself,
It would be good to have a unit of archers to provide cover for an army of archers like Changzong's army. At least it can reduce the casualties of one's own army.
He then asked: "Which general will you send to assist me?"
"I have decided to send my brother-in-law Qin Tai to personally lead seven hundred archers to assist you. Please don't dislike our meager abilities." Motochika Nagasou Gabe was also beaming with joy at this time, feeling ashamed that he had climbed up the big tree of the Shimazu family.
happiness.
When it comes to the rapid bow soldiers of the Changzong Gabu family, everyone among the famous people in the Four Kingdoms changes their expressions!
This is a terrifying and incredible army. The Chosogabe family has always been at the bottom of the Shikoku in terms of strength, and there are often provocations from big names with strong foundations such as the Ichijo family and the Kono family. However, the armies they lead are often
Each time, they were defeated by the few Xun Bow soldiers from Chang Zong's tribe.
According to the description of Kanesada Ichijo who fought against the Swift Archers, they are an army that looks like ghosts and has an extremely tough fighting style. As soon as you spot their shadow, their arrows have already reached your camp!
In fact, in addition to their superb archery skills, they are also proficient in foot combat and phalanx formation skills. They can often beat opponents several times their size to tears with their good tactical literacy, combat skills and high morale.
It is precisely because of their existence that the weak Chosougabu family was able to gain a foothold in the Shikoku and was not annexed by the powerful enemies surrounding it.
On that day, the Changzong family lifted the taboo against Du Fei's troops. Du Fei's troops moved into the city of the Changzong family openly, and were entertained by the Changzong family with delicious food and drinks.
He seemed quite happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
Du Fei felt that troops would be mobilized soon anyway, so he simply left Xiaobata to manage the monk troops in Shikoku, while he returned to Kyushu by speedboat.
As soon as he arrived in Kyushu, he was shocked by the refugees fleeing in all directions: What trouble is happening here again?
It turned out that during his absence, Shimazu Yoshitora finally broke his skin and took the opportunity to attack the re-elected Shimazu Yoshihisa, claiming to the outside world that he was not Shimazu Takahisa's biological son and was not qualified to inherit at all.
Shimadzu family business.
This statement is just looking for trouble. Let’s not say whether Yoshihisa is Takahisa’s biological son. Even if he is not, at that time, it had become a very normal phenomenon for adopted sons to inherit the family’s property, and not many people would realize it.
There is nothing wrong with it, so what he wants to say is actually one sentence: "I want to rebel!"
