of twenty-five
If Jiang Yifan came to Yamaguchi last time with a warm welcome that he had never expected, then what he had come this time was a cold reception beyond his expectations.
From Xiang Liang and Wu Ren in the literary class to Tao Long's room in the martial class, everyone did not hide their suspicion of Jiang Yifan, nor did they hide their suspicion of Li Xiaolian behind Jiang Yifan!
What exactly did he come to Japan this time?
Is he really just here to find his brother?
Or is he representing the Ming Dynasty?
Is he still carrying any secret mission that cannot be told?
"Scholar Jiang! What's going on with Satsuma and Osumi!" At this moment, Yoshitaka Ouchi also cheered up, as if he had recovered his momentum before defeating the Yu Nizi family. "What's happening now is nothing like the promise you promised me at the beginning!"
"What's the difference?" Jiang Yifan asked.
"You said you will go back as long as you take revenge on the Shimazu family!"
"That's right." Jiang Yifan said: "But Guijiu is still running!"
"This is not the point!" Takeru Saira stood up: "The problem now is: your army has actually reached Osumi, and I heard that it has entered Hinata! What explanation do you have for this?"
"Explanation? It's very simple." Jiang Yifan seemed to be getting more and more sophisticated: "That's not our army at all!"
"Isn't your army?" Tao Longfang sneered. It's really rare. He and Xiang Liang Wu Ren actually had the same caliber: "But they are all under the banner of the Li family!"
"Just just a banner, everyone here is well-informed. You should have seen many things that are not worthy of their name on the battlefield." Jiang Yifan said: "In fact, before I set out, our Li family had only entered Osuji, with only one hundred maneuvers led by our second son! And these hundred people did not enter Osuji to invade or attack, but were just guards of the second son, because the second son wanted to negotiate with the Ganfu family, and the Itong family asked them to hand over the Takajiu, and they needed to protect their safety along the way. That's all."
He pushed it cleanly, but angered Tao Longfang: "There are only one hundred people, what about the others?"
"The other people have complicated ingredients. Some really want to help, and some take advantage of the situation to rob, but it is not the wish of our third son, and these people are not burning, killing and looting under the command of the third son." What Jiang Yifan said was the truth, but unfortunately the Japanese warriors were unwilling to believe it.
"You just said that before you set off, your Li family didn't have many soldiers entering Osumi, Hyuga," Saori Takeru said, "What about now?"
"The army should have set out now," said Jiang Yifan.
"Then what else is there to say!" Tao Longfang shouted: "Actually, you just let the thieves open the way for you first, and then follow the receiving territory behind. That's it! We have seen through you a long time ago!"
Speaking of this, it seemed that it was going to froze, but Jiang Yifan was not in a hurry because he knew that it was not him who was afraid of. Before coming, Li Yanzhi said to him: "Now the monsoon is about to turn. If the agreement cannot be reached, at most we will pat our butt and walk, let them go randomly!"
Of course, this is just a not bad result, not the best result. However, with this point at the bottom, Jiang Yifan was not panicked. He smiled slightly and said, "I am here today, not a quarrel with you." Jiang Yifan said, "Arguing can't solve the problem. If you want to quarrel with me, then I will leave now. But if you really want to solve this problem and don't want this big change to spread to the mountain pass, can you say a few useful words calmly?"
"I don't want this big change to spread to Yamaguchi" this sentence is very intimidating. Osumi and Hinata's chaos are actually not completely unaware of the reason for the chaos in Osumi and Hinata, so when he heard this, he immediately stopped Tao Longfang and Aoray Takeru and said to Jiang Yifan: "Okay, what do you Li Xiaolian want? Is he going to be the King of Kyushu?"
When Yoshitaka Ouchi said this, all the generals felt a little nervous - this was exactly what he was most worried about! It was also what they couldn't accept the most! If giving up everything and leaving Japan immediately was Li Yanzhi's "worst" plan, then letting the Li family make up their feet in Kyushu and dominate the country would be the "worst" result in the "worst" thoughts of the people.
Jiang Yifan heard this but laughed to the sky, laughing wildly. His crazy attitude made everyone in the family feel dissatisfied. Yoshitaka Ouchi was particularly displeased and said calmly: "Why are you laughing at!"
"I remembered a story." Jiang Yifan said: "Once upon a time, there was a crow pecking at a piece of rotten meat. When I saw a phoenix flying near in the distance, the crow was so nervous that it spread its wings to protect the rotten meat, and shouted to the phoenix: 'Du! Go away! This is mine!' Just now, Lord Yilong said that we Master Xiaolian wanted to be the King of Jiuzhou, so I couldn't help but think of this story. Please forgive me for your loss of composure."
Among the great servants, Xiang Liangwu Ren heard that this was a fable in "Zhuangzi". Most generals did not know how to write a scripture, but they also heard what Jiang Yifan meant. Tao Longfang said angrily: "In Li Xiaolian's eyes, is Jiuzhou just a piece of rotten meat?"
"Maybe it's not a piece of rotten meat," Jiang Yifan said: "But it is definitely not the sycamore that the phoenix is willing to live for a long time! You all judge others by yourself, do you think that our three young masters will abandon China's great future and compete for the overseas wasteland of Jiuzhou? Hehe, this is only a difference of fifty steps and one hundred steps compared to the crow in the fable!"
The family generals who were almost cultivated were angry, but Xiangliang Wu Ren and Tao Longfang were moved in their hearts and thought: "Although his words were unpleasant, if they were true, it would be a good thing for us!"
Yoshitaka Ouchi also asked: "Does Li Xiaolian really have no intention of staying for a long time?"
"Of course!" Li Yan said directly: "As long as we catch Shimazu Takaha, we will go back together with the monsoon."
Yoshitaka Ouchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Then why did he still lead his troops into Osumi?"
Jiang Yifan sighed and said, "It's because the third young master is too compassionate! Although he is a good man in war, he is a pity that his heart is too soft."
Everyone was puzzled, Jiang Yifan said, "Think about it, we don't want to stay in Japan for a long time. When we enter Osumi, most of the Hyuga's troops are not from the Li family, so if we want to save trouble, we can just stay in Sakurajima. When the monsoon is together, we will slap our hands home! Osumi, what problems will happen to Hinaga in the future, and what will have to do with us?"
Yoshitaka Ouchi and Takeru Saira looked at each other and thought to himself: "If Li Yanzhi really doesn't want to stay for a long time, that's true."
"But, after hearing about Osumi, the people of Hinata's two vassals, they couldn't bear it." Jiang Yifan said: "That's why he led his troops into Osumi. Hinata was not to continue this war, but to resolve this disaster. However, this matter initiated by Takahisa Shimazu has already started! To calm down, it is no longer possible for us to solve it in just one word."
Tao Longfang asked: "What do he want?"
"It's not what the third young master wants to do!" Jiang Yifan said: "But to solve this matter, everyone must work together! The third young master wants to join forces with the princes of Kitakyushu to calm this disaster! Only when we join forces can we calm the disaster so that it will not continue to spread!"
Yoshitaka Ouchi asked: "Then how does he want to join forces?"
Jiang Yifan said: "First, please Lord Yitaka and the princes of Kitakyushu to uphold justice and hand over Shimazu Takaha - this person is the culprit of this disaster. All the uprisings of the chaos are under this banner. If this person is handed over and the unrelief of the unrequited army loses its name, it will be impossible to call on other conquered citizens of Kyushu."
Ouchi Yoshitaka snorted coldly, "It sounds so nice, but you don't want this Shimazu Takaha!"
Jiang Yifan smiled slightly and said, "Since it is cooperation, it is naturally beneficial to both sides. Giving Guijiu can not only make the chaos army lose its name, but also make our second son avenge avenge. It is a matter that both families have benefits. Besides, if we can't catch Guijiu, our second son can't swallow our breath. Even if the third son wants to calm down, the second son will not do it. So it is imperative to hand over Guijiu!"
Yoshitaka Ouchi said: "We have been handing over the hottest for a long time, but what are you doing for us?"
"This is the second one." Jiang Yifan said: "As long as Guijiu takes it, our army will immediately withdraw from Samo and persuade all the chaos to disband. If the matter has subsided and he is unwilling to disband, then it is not for help, but for causing chaos. At that time, we are willing to help the princes of Jiuzhou to deal with them!"
The conditions were expressed, and the great Nei family nodded secretly and thought to themselves: "If he could do this, at least we would not have any trouble. If a group of mobs did not have the Li family as the backbone and the Ming court as the backing, what would it be difficult to suppress the enemy?"
Yoshitaka Ouchi said: "If so, then after the chaos has subsided..."
"That's the third one." Jiang Yifan bowed and said, "After the chaos was quelled, the third young master wanted to gather with Lord Yilong and the princes of the Beijiuzhou before leaving to discuss the reconstruction of the Nanjiuzhou and the trade in the East China Sea."
Yoshitaka Ouchi was moved: "If he followed his approach, not only would the misfortune of Nan Kyushu be stopped until the end of the day, and our Nan Kyushu will not be affected at all, but we also have the opportunity to take the opportunity to enter Nan Kyushu and establish a long-term trade relationship with them. This matter will be blessed but not bad!" But he was not in a hurry to reply to Jiang Yifan, and temporarily suspend the meeting and discuss with his close retainers.
Takeru Sarara said: "It seems that he really wants to solve this problem with sincerity. But if he does exactly what he said and hand over it, our Japanese face will be lost!"
Tao Longfang sneered: "It's not us who are embarrassed! As long as the big family is not embarrassed!"
Yoshitaka Ouchi said, "But I'm afraid he has any tricks!"
"I'm not afraid of this!" Tao Longfang said: "We can do a two-pronged approach! While agreeing to join forces, we arrange troops and join forces to meet Qi Kikyushu and Otomo's army. I'm afraid there will be no 20,000 or 30,000 people! Even if the Li family wanted to do something random, we would be able to control him! In fact, what we are worried about is that the group of chaotic troops ran to the territory to seduce people's hearts. If the farmers were all disturbed, it would be bad!"
Xiangliang Wu Ren also agreed with his statement in his heart, but refused to say it. He insisted on finding some different opinions and said, "Although that's the case, if we agree to their proposals in full, it would be too weak."
Tao Longfang snorted and said, "What else do you want?"
Xiangliangwu Ren said: "We have to ask him to withdraw his troops first, and then we will hand over Guijiu."
"I'm afraid that others will not agree!" said Tao Longfang.
"Then you have to say it!" said Takeru Suga, "If you don't agree, just talk until you agree! In short, you can't follow them too much."
Yoshitaka Ouchi nodded and said yes, and then decided.
Diplomacy is just a quarrel! Although a decision has been made, Yoshitaka Ouchi waited until the next day to invite Jiang Yifan again, but this time only Tao Longfang and Takeru Sarara were present.
Yoshitaka Ouchi said that all three things can be cooperated, but the order of the first and second things must be dropped. Li Yanzhi first helped solve the chaos. They were responsible for taking Shimazu Takaku, waiting for the Shuangchao Alliance to discuss how to deal with Mitsukuzhou, and then the public agreed on Shimazu Takaku's crime. In this way, the Li family's grievances and humiliation can be avenged, and Japan is not too embarrassed.
Jiang Yifan frowned and said, "How can we change these two things? No, no! You must hand over Guijiu first, and then the group of chaotic troops will lose their reputation! If the order is adjusted, how can we start doing things?"
Xiangliang Wu Ren said: "We can claim to have already handed over someone to the outside world, isn't that enough?"
Jiang Yifan asked back, "But what if you agree but don't hand over the person?"
Xiangliang Wuren smiled and said, "What is Guijiu's thing to our home family? Why do we offend the Li family for a betrayal dog?"
Jiang Yifan smiled knowingly when he heard this and said, "The words are reasonable, but things in the world are hard to say. When our Li family goes to Japan to do business, they all have to ensure a principle: money needs cash, and people need to show off! We don't accept the business of guaranteed guarantees. Because we don't want to stay here for a long time and can't afford it."
Xiangliang Wuren took two steps, sat next to him, and took his hand and said, "We still hope that the Li family can trust each other with us! After all, our inner family is not a despicable family. In the future, we still want to do long-term business with the Li family and will not destroy the bridge."
Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "We are not afraid of destroying the bridges when crossing the river. Didn't Shimazu Takaku come to us once to cross the river and destroy the bridges when crossing the river? What's the result?"
When Ouchi Yoshitaka and Tao Longfang heard this, their faces changed slightly. Tao Longfang said angrily: "What do you mean!"
Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "It's not interesting, just telling the truth."
"My family is willing to talk to Li Xiaolian, not because we are afraid of him!" Yoshitaka Ouchi felt that he should have a tough attitude to maintain his majesty: "It's just that we think this disaster should end soon, so we tolerate the envoy so much! I also hope that the envoy will not be more aggressive!"
"We are also very sincere." Jiang Yifan said: "Takahashimazu. As long as we continue to follow the gang of chaotic troops, we will catch it sooner or later, but our third young master didn't plan to do this. Why? Isn't it just for you? As a result, you have to mess around when you get a cheaper one and refuse to agree readily! To be honest, even if this matter is done completely according to the third young master's plan, we really have no benefit!"
When Sarara Takeru heard the word "benefit", he looked at Ouchi Yoshitaka. Ouchi Yoshitaka nodded. Sarara Takeru said in a low voice: "If the third son is willing to establish a mutual trust relationship with us, our two families will have benefits in the reconstruction of Nan Kyushu in the future."
Jiang Yifan did not ask "what is the benefit", but smiled and said, "We don't want any benefits either. However, this time we came to Japan and made some friends, but these friends could not be brought back to the Ming Dynasty. But the third young master hopes that after we leave in the future, the homeland will take care of them and give them a foothold in Japan."
Xiang Liangwu Ren asked, "Is these friends of Li Xiaolian's right name?"
Jiang Yifan said: "As long as the support of the great internal family, it will be legitimate! If these people receive the favor of the great internal family, they will definitely be grateful to the great internal family in the future. I wonder what Lord Yilong has for Nan Kyushu?"
Takeru Saei smiled and said, "We Kitakyushu have not taken it yet! The enclave is so far away and the edges are so despicable. What are we going to do!"
When Tao Longfang heard this, he felt a little unhappy! Sora Goren advocated calming down Ganges and committed to internal affairs. He even disagreed with the local tyrants around him, such as Maori Moto, waiting for troops to be moved, let alone fighting for Satsuma and Osumi, who were separated by several vassals? But Tao Longfang advocated toughness on the outside! The two had different political views, so it was difficult to be harmonious. However, in this matter, Yoshitaka Ouchi obviously favored Sora Goren. Tao Longfang was alone and could not speak.
Jiang Yifan's eyes turned around the faces of the three of them, and he smiled and said, "It seems that our two families have a tacit understanding and they both thought of going together! If this is the case, it would be easy."
