Warring States Eagle

Chapter 63 A Complicated Man

Oda's house is located in a traffic artery.To the east of it are the Sashi family, the Nagoshi family, and the Taiku family, while to the south and west are the Chongliang family and the current Luo family.If the tyrants in the east intend to invade the south and west lands, they must pass through the territory of the Oda family, and vice versa.

Such an important strategic point, why has no one tried to occupy it, but has always tolerated the Oda family, a small local tyrant who can be crushed at any time, to occupy it?The reason is simple, no one wants another company to occupy this place, or no one has enough strength to occupy this place for a long time.In the past few decades, once a certain family tried to annex the Oda family, the Oda family would immediately receive support from another family or even several families (except the Chongliang family), and this situation has continued until now.The only Sashi family who had the strength to occupy this place for a long time did not take any action because there were still more famous territories in the middle of it.

Masara was shocked when he received the news from Onishi Kuniji about the visit of the Oda family alliance envoy.I didn't expect that within two days after my family occupied the territories of several local tyrants, someone would come to form an alliance. Is it because of my excellent character?After getting Zhengliang's approval, soon a thin man who looked less than 30 years old walked in under the leadership of Onishi Kuniji.

"Taiko Oda, the son of Hidemitsu Oda, the successor of the Fujiwara family, has seen you." The visitor bowed slightly to Masara, and then confidently reported his family background.

"Huh?" Zheng Liang couldn't help being taken aback.Onishi Guozhi behind him immediately pulled out the Tairen, and at the same time exclaimed, "What? Damn it!".It is a great crime to bring the leader of the enemy to the head of the family without knowing it.The two cloaked people outside the door heard the exclamation from inside, and quickly walked in.For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became tense like never before.

Zhengliang waved his hand, motioned the two warriors to retreat, then smiled slightly, and said to the man in front of him, "Your Excellency's courage is really admirable. As the head of the family, you came to the enemy's camp alone at this time." In the camp."

"Hahaha, my lord is overrepresented," Oda Taiguang laughed, then bowed again and said, "Compared with my lord's achievements at such a young age, it's really not worth mentioning."

"Hehehe, I don't know why your Excellency came here in person this time?" Zheng Liang decided to get straight to the point and directly understand the other party's intentions.

Oda Taiguang immediately bowed solemnly when he heard the words, and said, "For the sake of the alliance between the two families."

"Alliance?" Zhengliang smiled slightly, "Will the alliance between you and me bring any benefits to our family? Your Excellency, you must understand that as long as I kill you immediately, the Oda family can be easily annexed by our family. .”

"Hahaha", Oda Taiguang looked directly at Masara, and laughed, "No, my lord is very clear, killing me, the one who benefits is definitely not my lord."

"Oh?" Masara was noncommittal to Oda Tako's answer.

"My lord, the Oda family can guard the east for you and resist the powerful attacks from the east. This is the best way for your lord's current predicament." Seeing Masara's expression, Oda Taiguang said immediately.

"Hehe, as far as I know, you and Taijiu's family are in-laws?" Zheng Liang jokingly said.Guard the east?What would you do if your father-in-law planned to attack our family?

"Hmph, that old guy Okuboyoshi is just trying to indirectly control the family, how can I let him do what he wants?" Oda Taiguang seemed to have expected Masara to ask this question, and immediately said through gritted teeth, "In order to express The sincerity of this alliance, I have already brought my wife, Taiku Baoyi’s daughter here, as well as my son, Mu Niwan. Please dispose of it as you please.”

"Hiss", Zheng Liang let out a deep breath of air.What a ruthless guy!What is his intention? Is he really making an alliance with his wife and son as hostages, or is he taking the opportunity to paralyze the family, and even use the family to eradicate the nails that the Taikubo family buried in the Oda family.But it's not right, if it's the last goal, there's absolutely no need for Oda Taiko to make a fuss, not to mention that the Oda family is still relying on the support of the Taiku family.

"What do you want?" Zheng Liang continued after he settled his thoughts.There is no love for no reason, since the other party is willing to resist the enemy from the east for the family, then there must be a plan.

"The head of Chongliang Zhizong", Oda Taiguang said without thinking, "I think the adults already know the grievances between the Chongliang family and the Chongliang family. The main family only needs the head of Chongliang Zhizong. As for the territory of the Chongliang family, the family will not take any."The air in the meeting hall suddenly became a little dignified because of the anger emanating from Oda Taiguang's whole body.

"No, Chongliang Zhizong's head family will be handed over to you. At the same time, the Chongliang family's territory will be divided equally between you and me," Zheng Liang said.An alliance between the two, and one side gains too much, it will not be a long-term alliance.

"So, does your lord agree to the alliance between our two families?" Oda Taiguang asked tentatively.

Zhengliang nodded slightly.

"Hahaha", Oda Tako looked up to the sky and smiled, "My lord is really brave, I admire it very much. My family will fulfill the covenant and guard the east side for your lord."

"The main family will also abide by the covenant, send the head of Chongliang Zhizong, and share the territory of the Chongliang family with the Oda family equally," Zheng Liang also said.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.In this way, under the direct interview of the two patriarchs, the covenant between the two families targeting the Chongliang family was established.Looking at the man in front of him who was still laughing, Zheng Liang was surprised.After the death of the old official in the family, he did not hesitate to dissolve the original marriage contract with the old minister's daughter. This person can be said to be extremely ruthless; It is said that this person is shameless; facing several local tyrants who are much stronger than his own family at the same time, he was able to keep the Oda family alive to this day. Trapped in the enemy's camp, taking his wife and son as hostages, all he wants is a head of the sworn enemy. It can be said that this person is crazy, or even a lunatic.What kind of person is this? So many complex and contradictory personalities appear on him, making it impossible for you to judge his true inner thoughts.Such a person made Zheng Liang feel terrible for the first time.No, he will definitely be the mortal enemy of the family, and must be wiped out before he is full-fledged, Zheng Liang made up his mind.

After sending Oda Taiguang away, Onishi Kuniji knelt down in front of Masara with a shameful face and pleaded guilty, "Your Highness, I was negligent for a moment and almost put His Highness in danger. Please forgive me."

"Hehe, national governance, there is no need to be like this, just be careful next time." Zheng Liang waved his hand and said, "Besides, do you think the other party has a chance to hurt me?"

Onishi Guozhi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that his Patriarch was still a swordsman with outstanding records, and immediately reminded, "Your Highness, although His Highness is very powerful in force, as the Patriarch of the Luo family, please don't put yourself in danger easily." In the midst of the environment. It is the duty of the minister to protect His Highness, please forgive me."

"Okay, state governance, stop here," Zheng Liang finally said, "In this way, next time such a problem occurs, I will be severely punished."

"Yes, Your Highness," Onishi Kuniji bowed to accept the order, and then said hesitatingly, "Your Highness, is it too early to make a decision about forming an alliance with the Oda family?"

"Are you worried that I will be paralyzed by this?" Zhengliang said slowly, "No, you and Guangzong must strengthen the defenses along the shores of Lake Fujihira and Komagawa, and must not relax."

"Then why does His Highness still form an alliance with the other party? At present, the Oda family can be said to be useless to the main family." Onishi Kuniji was very puzzled.

"Hehehe, you don't know that the Oda family and the Chongliang family are sworn enemies. If necessary, the Oda family can help the Chongliang family to hold back the Chongliang family." There is going to be a decision, and Taiko Oda must have made a decision in his heart." As for the territory of the Oda family, Masara is determined to take it, as a strategic point, once occupied there, it can be connected with the defense line along the shore of Lake Fujihira into a slash.Then station the ashigaru squad led by Onishi Kuniji there, and a line of defense consisting of 100 standing ashigaru can be formed with Tsuda Hiromune to support each other. At the same time, the territory behind the line of defense is also tightly protected. .Through the close cooperation of Tsuda Hiromune, who is brave but not witty, and Onishi Kuni, who is cautious but not aggressive, it is no problem to ensure that Fangxiang is foolproof.

"Your Highness is wise," Onishi Guozhi flattered without losing the opportunity.

"How many people did Taiguang Oda bring this time?" Masara asked.

"Only brought two samurai and a woman with a child," Onishi Kuniji said.

"Well, it seems that Taiguang Oda doesn't want to reveal the alliance between the two families for the time being, which is in line with the intention of the main family." Masara thought for a while, and then said, "Bring the mother and son who are hostages here first. Zheng Liang suddenly wanted to see the mother and son who had been taken as hostages.

Soon a woman holding a baby in her arms, who looked less than 20 years old, came in front of Zheng Liang, "My concubine greets the adults", the woman didn't seem to be frightened at all, and saluted Zheng Liang calmly.

"You should know your current situation?" Zheng Liang said slowly, looking at the surprisingly calm woman in front of him.

The woman held the baby in her arms, her head was slightly lowered, and she did not respond to Zheng Liang's question.

Is it numb?Looking at the woman's expression, Zheng Liang couldn't help thinking.

Just when Zhengliang was about to let the woman go down, the woman suddenly raised her head, looked straight at Zhengliang, and said, "Please show mercy to the female family members when the Oda family and the Taiku family are destroyed in the future." Zhengliang bowed slightly to salute.

"Huh?" Zhengliang was a little confused by the woman's thoughtless words. After realizing it, he immediately laughed heartily, "Hahaha, why are you so sure that the Oda family and the Taiku family will perish? What's more, these two families are your husband's family and your mother's family respectively?"

"Your Excellency must have just become the owner of this place not long ago, but in a short period of time, the townspeople came along the road, and the townspeople are safe; the soldiers are well-disciplined, compared to the Oda family and the Taiku family, it is a world of difference," the woman said calmly, "As for home? Do I still have a home? I'm just a tool, and I'm constantly being sent from one family to another. If your lord needs my concubine to serve you tonight, I will serve you wholeheartedly." The woman said with a miserable expression.

"Hiss", a woman who observes carefully?Women are really underestimated.Especially the last sentence, which is actually a self-deprecating word for fear of being insulted by the other party.Masara thought for a while, and suddenly realized that the fate of the women who had a relationship with Oda Taiguang was very miserable.One was Yu Nami, who was abandoned and robbed, and finally became a mother and retainer with the person she fell in love with; and the one in front of her became a bully.

"What's your name?" Zheng Liang finally asked.

"It's been too long," the woman said with a slight bow.For fear of waking up the baby in his arms, he acted a little cautiously.

"Okay, too long, I solemnly agree, I will let the female relatives of these two families go," Zheng Liang said, "Go down, no one will come to harass you."In fact, according to Zhengliang's consistent practice, women's family members will not be harassed, but men must be eradicated.Zhengliang didn't intend to become the Hosokawa family. After killing Miyoshi Changqing's father, he kept Miyoshi Changqing as a retainer, and was finally destroyed by the Miyoshi family.

"Thank you, sir," Tai Jiuling bowed again.I also breathed out a little in my heart, so that the younger sister in the family can escape in the future.
