    As soon as he returned to Honmaru, he met Kansuke Yamamoto. He walked over to him looking worried and said to him: "There is news from Suruga Country. A few days ago, the Imagawa family issued a mobilization order to Suruga and Toe. The Imagawa family will not  Japan will once again go to Mikawa Kingdom. This will be the second time Mikawa has gone out since the beginning of this year. "Imagawa Harubu is really anxious! He wants to calm down the civil strife in the Matsudaira family!" Kira Manshomaru sighed.  Of course he knows common sense. As a member of the Mikawa Kingdom who is pro-Imagawa, the role of the Matsudaira family is self-evident. Whether it is the Battle of Shozuzaka or the several battles of Anxiang Castle, the Matsudaira family has served as the vanguard of the Imagawa army and served as the basis for the Imagawa family.  Of course, charging into battle can also be understood as a high-level cannon fodder unit. At least until the Imagawa family completely pacifies Mikawa, the status of the Matsudaira family can be guaranteed, and the internal strife of the Matsudaira family must also be eliminated.  "Yes! The chaos of the Matsudaira family will not help the rule of the Imagawa family. His Highness Imagawa Jibu should be planning to force the Oda family to hand over Matsudaira Takechiyo." Yamamoto Kansuke mentioned it, which reminded him of the Matsudaira family and the tanuki.  Known as Takechiyo, this kid is more than a year younger than him but has good luck. His grandfather has built a legacy that has been worked hard for generations, has the support of a group of his own clan, and has several loyal and powerful lineage members.  Retainer base.  "The Matsudaira family doesn't seem to be doing well now. The people of Mikawa don't take their family seriously yet. Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, a reckless man who only knows how to fight, even offended his own people, let alone the people of the country who don't like him. Sure enough,  As soon as Matsudaira Kiyoyasu died, the entire Matsudaira family declined. " Kira Manshomaru was still in the mood to complain about the situation of the Matsudaira family, but unfortunately his good mood only lasted for a while. Yamamoto Kansuke narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This time Taiyuan Snow.  General Sai will serve as the military agent and lead the Imagawa family's army to enter Okazaki Castle. Asahina Yasuno has been selected as the deputy general, and Okabe Motonobu will serve as the leader of the Suruga main formation. He will command the Matsudaira army that lacks a family governor to participate in the battle.  That is to say, the Imagawa family has already made a plan, right? No matter how the family responds, the result has been determined, and it depends on whether the family will be toasted or punished." Kira Mansomaru sighed again, and he realized that he had been sighing recently.  The frequency is a bit too high. Is this a sign of premature aging?  "Master, please make a decision as soon as possible!" "What decision? Surrender or fight, is there a third way?" Kira Manshomaru smiled bitterly. He, as a lord, is really unlucky. He has not stepped out since he was a child.  Xi Sanhe never causes trouble. On every festival, he goes to his Bodhi Temple, Mixiang Anguo Zen Temple, to sing incense and pray for blessings. He prays that his parents in heaven will be happy and peaceful, that the people of his country will live a prosperous life, that their family business will be smooth, and that his officials will work together, etc., etc.  He did everything the house governor was supposed to do, but he still encountered a military disaster.  "Master, if I leave all our military forces under your command, how sure are you of defeating Taiyuan Xuezhai?" Kira Wansongmaru looked at him with hope.  It's a pity that the latter didn't seem to have much confidence. He smacked his lips and shook his head and said: "Based on pure battle, my Kira family, excluding the eight hundred ashigaru trained by my subordinates and the master's two hundred horsebacks, are comparable."  Outside of the war, the military strength of the retainers could not cause trouble to the Imagawa family at all. Three thousand five versus twenty thousand, the retainers had no way to save the day!" "There are also strategies. Suruga has always been wealthy, and the Imagawa family's financial resources are far better than mine.  There is a proverb in the Ming Dynasty: There must be a brave man under a heavy reward! If the Imagawa family lures them with benefits and threatens them with threats, what can I do to stop them?" Kira Manshomaru is not the only one thinking about it. As his assistant and servant,  The trusted general, Yamamoto Kansuke, was also thinking hard.  "His Royal Highness Imagawa Harubu has reached peace with His Highness Hojo Sagamimomoru, and reached a preliminary peace agreement at Zentokuji Temple where he served as the abbot of Taiyuan Xuezai last year. There is no longer any need to worry about the two directions of Kai and Sagami, and the south bordering the Toe River  Shinano is in the hands of His Highness Takeda Daisen. If we, the Kira family, want to fight against the Imagawa family, we can only rely on the strength of the Oda family, but does Oda Nobuhide have the ability and courage? " "That Owari rich man has been defeated in the battle of Azukizaka last year.  After a while, he has now become a toothless tiger. It is said that more than half of the people died in that battle, but every household in the four counties under Owari mourned. In the battle of Anxiang Castle at the beginning of the year, the Oda family only sent two thousand reinforcements, which was different from last year's majesty.  Compared with Hachimon's appearance at Okazaki Castle, Kira Manshomaru is very disdainful of Owari's military strength. The soldiers of Owari Province in Tokaido are known as weak soldiers, which is not an empty derogation.  All came out because Owari protected the Shiba family. For the benefit of the river crossing, the Shiba family joined forces with the Mikawa Kira family and fought several battles against the Imagawa family.  Every time, the Owari Shiba family was beaten to disgrace, and the Kira family's Mikawa military force was also defeated. Owari country is a representative of experts in civil war and outsiders in foreign wars. In the past two years, Owari's rich locals have been killed in Imagawa.  , in the hands of Saito, not only has his arrogance gone, but his status is no longer as stable as before, and he is almost like a phoenix that only sheds its hair.    "It's true that good people are bullied. It seems that there is no future for running the territory honestly. However, our Kira family does not have much military strength. If we impose military service without caring about hard work, not only will we not be able to win the Imagawa family, but we will also lose the rule of the West for generations."  Mikawa has accumulated a lot of love, but he can't beat him, and he is unwilling to surrender. What should he do?" Kira Manshomaru said goodbye to Yamamoto Kansuke in distress. When he returned to the castle tower, the sky was getting dark, and he was alone.  Sitting on the terrace looking at the moon in a daze.  "Look carefully, there seems to be a big aperture! It seems that the moon halo is a bad omen in legend, and I don't know what bad things happened somewhere." Kira Mansumaru was lying on the terrace looking at the round moon.  He fell asleep unknowingly, and was pushed awake again after an unknown amount of time. Aju's gentle voice came to his ears: "Your Highness, don't sleep here, it's easy to catch a cold. Your Highness, you should pay more attention to take care of yourself, for the sake of the Kira family  "It's also for the sake of the princess." "Well, I remember it! Did I fall asleep just now?" Kira Mansomaru rubbed his head and stood up unsteadily with Kikuji's help.  When he entered the tung tree, it turned out that Aju had already folded the bedding for him and thoughtfully placed a glass of water on the corner of the tatami. Because Kira Mansongwan's yang energy was very strong and he was prone to thirst at night, Aju would prepare it every night.  Such a glass of cold boiled water.  Kikuji took off her clothes for him, covered him with the quilt and walked out of the room with small steps. When she knelt down and was about to close the door, Kira Mansomaru whispered: "Thank you, Aku!" "This is all.  Aju should do it!" Aju's soft and reserved smile evoked his memories. In his memory, his mother also had such a beautiful smile. It seemed that all women in Kyoto were made of water. His mother was such a gentle and kind person.  A melancholy woman, Aju is like this too. Apart from being busy taking care of him all day long, she just stares at the flowers and plants in the small garden quietly in a daze. Those are the flower seedlings that her mother planted in Himemaru when she was alive. It's a pity that she didn't wait until  He passed away the day he admired it.  The paper door finally closed. After the sound of Aju's light footsteps gradually disappeared, Kira Mansomaru suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if there were some things he didn't want to say. He murmured to the moon: "Aju, I will definitely go to Kyoto.  Yes! Definitely!"
