Chapter 362 Undecided

At the evaluation meeting, each retainer was speaking one by one, reporting on the territory's income and expenditure during this period, the promotion of subordinates, the handling of major affairs, border disputes and many other issues. After the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the position originally reserved for Taiyuan Xuezai

It was vacant, replaced by Sena Ujitoshi sitting beside him. He was quickly writing down the matters that required Imagawa Yoshimoto's ruling, leaving it to Imagawa Yoshimoto and the clerks to deal with afterwards.

However, now Imagawa Yoshimoto can no longer close his eyes and turn a blind eye like he did when he attended the evaluation meeting before. Behind him, there is no teacher who silently helps him take care of everything. He can only listen attentively.

Comment on the reports of the retainers from time to time, and at the same time silently record everyone's emotions and demands in his heart.

Since most of the family's important ministers were delayed for more than half a year on the way to Luo and at sea, there were a lot of omissions and gaps in the governance of the territory. Some retainers who stayed behind even began to operate their own forces and emptied their own family governors in many areas. In order to

deal with this

It took a lot of effort to solve the problems left over from the series of expeditions. In the past few months, if it had not been for Sena Jijun, Furunoji Yutaka, Hayasaka Nao and others to help him, Imagawa Yoshimoto would have gone crazy from exhaustion——

It was only then that he realized the hard work of Taiyuan Xuezhai.

Now, the troubles in the territory have finally been dealt with. The warriors at home who are eager to make achievements naturally turn their attention to the battlefield again.

"Your Highness, it has been more than half a year since the Shangluo Army returned. Coupled with the food and supplies seized from Kyoto, each family has already recovered its strength." Asahina Yasuno, as the elder of the writing family, took the lead in asking Imagawa Yoshimoto for a battle and said: "Then Ouchi Xiaoxiao took advantage of the opportunity earlier.

We were unprepared and tore up the armistice agreement and provoked provocations. Now that our army has returned, we should naturally conquer Mikawa again and punish the treacherous Oda family."

"Foreign ministers also implore the Administrative Hall to send troops!" After Asahina Taino, the elder Abe Sadaikichi of the writing family who attended as a representative of the Matsudaira family also bowed in a deep voice and said: "The Oda family kidnapped the young master and coerced us into dividing the family and establishing a new clan.

Several years have passed since that day, and the Matsudaira family has yet to be unified. Foreign Minister and others

I worry day and night, fearing that if the division lasts for a long time, the relatives will become increasingly alienated and estranged, and there will be no day for unity. Last year, we just won the victory in Sanhe against the enemy, and our morale was high. The retainers petitioned one after another to recapture Xisanhe and Shao in one fell swoop.

Lord, the foreign ministers are here to convey the family's wishes to the main hall of the administration."

"Your Highness, in my opinion, we might as well conquer Hojo." Okabe Otsuna, as always, had strong hostility towards the Hojo family because of the death of Imagawa Ujiteru. "Since the New Year, there have been many rebellions in Kanto. The Hojo family is struggling to cope with it. The main force

The troops are suppressing the rebellion in Musashi, and this is a great opportunity for us to enter Izu. If we can capture Nirayama Castle, Jundong will no longer have to worry about enemy attacks."

"Sakyo Susumu is a little too hasty, isn't it?" Asahina Asahina coughed twice and decided to come out in person to refute Okabe Okatsuna, who was not willing to deal with him. "We have an armistice agreement with the Hojo family. If we tear up the agreement and march, what will happen?

Isn’t it the same as the Oda army? I’m afraid it’s not about losing the support of those wealthy families in the Kadong area who have old ties to the Hojo family.”

"You shouldn't keep a wealthy family that has an old relationship with the Hojo family." Okabe Otsuna snorted, "What kind of trust can we have with the insidious and cunning Hojo family?"

"Even if we don't pay attention to these things, it would be better to attack the Oda family." Asahina Yasunou continued, "We march to Nishi Mikawa, and our division is famous. His Highness Matsudaira is the guardian of Mikawa, and His Highness himself is the guardian of Mikawa. But to attack Izu

, there is no status at all. Izu itself has been the territory of the Hojo family for three generations, and it is difficult to accept it. On the other hand, in Mikawa, many Matsudaira branch families and local wealthy families are waiting to see the situation. Our army will kill them. If they have an advantage, they

I will definitely respond anyway.”

After the dispute between Asahina Yasuno and Okabe Matsuna, other retainers also joined in the discussion. Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to have some feeling - there was a faint tension in the family around the two important ministers of the Asahina family and the Okabe family.

The rivalry between gangs. When Taiyuan Yuzhai was dealing with housekeeping, he would also deliberately maintain the friction between the Asahina family and the Okabe family - of course, Asahina Yasuno and Okabe Chitsuna, Asahina Yasutomo and Okabe family

Be it Motobu, they were not at odds with each other to begin with - but the friction never seemed to rise to the level of a confrontation at the evaluation meeting.

Imagawa Yoshimoto asked himself that in the more than half a year since he had been in power, he had done nothing that would aggravate the conflicts between them, or force the retainers to form cliques. This can only mean one thing: fight without breaking up, but obey orders.

The family's retainers group is not something that the family governor can pick up for nothing without making mistakes, but it requires persistent and small actions that are not on the table - Taiyuan Xue Zhai must have worked hard to maintain the stability of the Imagawa family.

.

Imagawa Yoshimoto tried to observe it - it seems that one family is closer to the Asahina family, such as the Sena family, the Sekiguchi family, etc. This is understandable, after all, there is a genetic relationship between the Asahina family and Shouguini.

It can be regarded as half a sect.

On the other hand, the foreign retainers of the Imagawa family are more supportive of the Okabe family's opinions. This is understandable. Most of the existing retainers of the Imagawa family are located in Togae. They have fought with the Asahina family and the Sena family in many years of rebellion and confrontation.

These Imagawa family members who are stationed in the far river have formed a lot of quantum relationships. They will naturally tend to support the Okabe family, whose territory is far away in Suruga and they are out of reach of them. After all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Of course.

, the aloof Okabe Otsuna seems to have no intention of paying attention to these potential allies.

Although he discovered the problem by asking himself, Imagawa Yoshimoto also asked himself that he had no solution. He could only wait until he went to visit Taiyuan Xuezhai in the evening and ask him for advice.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just when Imagawa Yoshimoto was thinking wildly, the arguments among the retainers gradually stopped, and everyone turned their attention to Imagawa Yoshimoto, waiting for him to come.

The final decision - Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't do it even if he asked himself. Although Imagawa Yoshimoto had already begun to participate in politics after the last large-scale rebellion in Mikawa-Toe, the work he undertook was basically the same as that of the current Sena Ujitoshi.

What he was doing was helping Taiyuan Xuezhai. Taiyuan Xuezhai assigned him a specific government task, so he did it. Taiyuan Xuezhai arranged a military operation, and he went to carry it out.

It can be said that after several years of training, Imagawa Yoshimoto is already a qualified thug. But if he is asked to handle various government affairs and plan the direction of a large military operation, he is really struggling to cope with it.

Not coming - I have to admit that he really can't take on the heavy responsibility of the family governor for the time being.

"Let me think twice." Imagawa Yoshimoto then stood up and gave instructions to break up the meeting. Everyone knew what Imagawa Yoshimoto meant. He said "let me think twice." In fact, he asked me to ask at night.

My teacher.

In the evening, inside the Imagawakan library.

"Why, you came back in despair with your tail between your legs?"

After hearing the knock on the door, Taiyuan Xuezhai laughed and cursed.

"Yes, old man, when will your sick tail be completely cured?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto also responded with a smile and curse.

Opening the door, Taiyuan Xuezhai's house was as dirty and messy as ever. Imagawa Yoshimoto came to clean it personally in the morning, and Xiaokui and Kinoshita Tokichiro should have also come to clean it. Why did it become like this again at night? Imagawa Yoshimoto

Yuan couldn't figure it out. How many paper balls could be thrown around? How many books could be placed around? How many times had the kitchen been asked to deliver food, only to have it placed on the tatami?

"It's not healed yet, it's not healed yet." Taiyuan Xuezhai leaned on the mattress with a smile, reading a book by the light of the fire, deliberately pretending to be lazy. But Imagawa Yoshimoto knew that this look was also true.

Pretended ingredients.

He took a special look before going upstairs just now. There were no lights in the room at all. Presumably after hearing the footsteps of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Taiyuan Xuezhai temporarily lit the oil lamp, then sat up and started reading - wanting Imagawa to

Yiyuan felt that his health was almost the same and he was just being lazy on purpose.

But this cannot be hidden from Imagawa Yoshimoto. He would ask the maids and his nicknames about Taiyuan Xuezhai's situation every day. According to the servants, although Taiyuan Xuezhai's body has begun to recover, his daily energy is still very limited and he can only squeeze out

Check it out in 1-2 hours

Briefings and the most important things, he basically spent the rest of the time resting in bed, and his appetite was not very good. However, in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto and Imagawa Goro, Taiyuan Xuezai always pretended to have time - this must be what he does every day

The most tiring time.

"How much do you need to train me?" Of course, since Taiyuan Xuezhai insisted on this, Imagawa Yoshimoto would not expose the teacher's little thoughts, but cooperated with his performance, "When will I come out to help?"

Me cleaning up the mess?”

"I want to train you so that you can manage the Imagawa family well even if you are no longer a teacher." Taiyuan Xuezhai suddenly gave his instructions seriously.

"Don't come." But Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't hear these unlucky words, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Old man, if you go to the west, I will live in seclusion and play, who will care about the Imagawa family?"

"Come on, Goro, can you let go? Can you let go of your father-in-law? Can you let go of so many loyal retainers who risk their lives for you?" Taiyuan Xuezhai was also moved by Imagawa Yoshimoto's awkward words for a moment.

, but then smiled and exposed his apprentice’s

Lie: "You are no longer the cheap superintendent you were ten years ago. You are a nostalgic child. After these ten years, you can no longer let go of the Imagawa family. Do you think you can still be the same as you were ten years ago? Don't think so.

Just give up and stop doing it? You don’t even have the heart to do it.”

"After all, I have been trapped by the secular martial arts that I hate the most." Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed helplessly, then leaned his back against the wall and slowly sat down, "Let's be honest, teacher and retainers are all here.

I want to fight and want us to go on an expedition, but I really don’t know what to do. What do you think?"
