Chapter 1757 Hideyoshi Hashiba wants to save himself(2/2)
As the bridge between the Shiba Oda family, the two of them will definitely come forward to mediate and calm the war between the Oda family and the Uesugi family.
The Sibo family also has enough bargaining chips to make the main hall bear this tone.
If you can get the help of Maeda Toshiie and Akechi Mitsuhide and help you speak a few words of justice during their mediation, with the wisdom of the main hall, you will naturally understand Shibata Katsuie's sinister intentions.
Even if you are punished in the future, you and Shibata Katsuie will each have to fight 30 times, and you will not be allowed to shoulder all the responsibilities alone, so that you will not be so injured that you will never be able to stand out."
Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded fiercely, her strong point was being humane and worldly. With a little guidance from Takenaka Shigeharu, she understood what she should do.
"What Takenaka-hime said makes sense.
Toshiie-senpai is a kind person. She must have seen through Shibata Katsuie's intention to harm me, so she secretly sent someone to report to me.
Since she was willing to tip off the news to me, she would naturally defend me in the main hall.
Senior Li Jia is one of the frontline generals, and she is fair. The palace will believe her words. As long as she is impartial and answers truthfully, she has done me a great favor.
As soon as I returned to the city, I wrote to senior Toshiya to thank her for sending someone to report the message. I, Hideyoshi Hashiba, will definitely be grateful for her kindness in the future."
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled and nodded, Hideyoshi Hashiba really knows how to behave, but just a false promise that he will be grateful in the future can win over Maeda Toshiie.
Maeda Toshiie took the risk of offending Shibata Katsuie and specially reported the news to Hashiba Hideyoshi. Naturally, he wanted to sell a huge favor.
Hashiba Hideyoshi accepted this favor. If Maeda Toshiie didn't want his investment to go to waste, he would have to pull Hashiba Hideyoshi out again.
There will be a big thank you in the future. The key lies in the word "future". If Hideyoshi Hashiba cannot pass this hurdle, there will be no future. Maeda Toshiie's favor will be sold for nothing.
Therefore, Hashiba Hideyoshi made it clear in just a few words that she accepted this favor, but if Maeda Toshiie wanted to thank her again in the future, he had to help her get through this first.
Hideyoshi Hashiba gave just one word and didn't give any benefit at all. He asked Toshiie Maeda to help for a future promise. It was really easy to calculate and he was so understanding of people and the world.
Having such a master with perfect communication skills, Takenaka Shigeharu saved a lot of effort.
Takenaka Shigeharu said softly.
"Also, Mitsuhide Akechi."
Hashiba Hideyoshi narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Takenaka-hime, there are rumors that Akechi Mitsuhide is obedient to the palace and is called Shiba's retainer, but in reality he is an Oda hawk.
But I can’t always see through this person. Do you think Akechi Mitsuhide is really helping the main hall?"
Takenaka Shigeharu sighed.
“There is a cloud in the sky: haste makes waste.
Akechi Mitsuhide showed his courtesy for nothing and helped the Oda family expand rapidly, but he was afraid that he would be either an adulterer or a thief."
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded.
"I think so.
So I prepared to express my anger towards Shibata Katsuie in front of her, even with a hint of disappointment towards the main hall.
Akechi Mitsuhide would be happy to see the discord in the Oda family, right?"
Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"Too much is not enough, so please keep it in check, so that the best effect can be achieved."
Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled.
"When it comes to dealing with people, you have to have confidence in me.
When Kanazaki retreated, Akechi Mitsuhide wrote a letter for me, asking Asakura Keiki to protect me in Tsuruga Port and saved my life.
I will run to Fushimi Castle and ask for help. Mitsuhide Akechi has saved me once, and I believe she won’t mind saving me a second time.”
Takenaka Shigeharu nodded.
Human nature is actually very counter-intuitive. You think that if you treat people well, they will be grateful, but this is not the case.
It is possible that people are used to your efforts and take them for granted, and may even be angry because you are unwilling to continue to contribute.
Don't think that there are very few such white-eyed wolves. In fact, this is the embodiment of human nature. If you get used to it, you will think that you should have it. If you lose it, you will naturally feel angry.
And if you have helped someone once, it is easy to help them again.
Because you have paid for the other party and left a sunk cost on the other party, you will expect future returns, and the probability of being willing to do it again will increase.
Mitsuhide Akechi saved Hideyoshi Hashiba once and was his savior.
Hideyoshi Hashiba came to ask her to save him one more time, but Akechi Mitsuhide was unlikely to refuse her.
Because the two life-saving graces will make Mitsuhide Akechi look forward to more profits in the future, but if Hideyoshi Hideyoshi dies, the previous life-saving grace will not be repaid.
After Hashiba Hideyoshi thought carefully, he sent a letter to Maeda Toshiie, who was close to him, and then personally came to ask Mitsuhide Akechi for help.
