Chapter 499 58. Nagano Yesheng Begs for Mercy
Yamamoto Kansuke held a Takeda water chestnut, rode on his horse, and slowly crossed the pontoon bridge. Along the Tone River, there are all the Yamauchi military handymen harvesting lotus grass, and occasionally there are people carrying water and carrying reeds.
"Excuse me, what are you harvesting?"
"I don't know!"
Although Yamamoto Kansuke asked kindly, the Yamauchi samurai who led him into the camp did not look good. He knew clearly that he was cutting lotus grass for eating, but he didn't want to pay attention to them at all.
After hearing such an angry reply, Yamamoto Kansuke's face remained as usual, without changing color. It was still calm as before, and all the scenes in front of and inside the camp were caught in his eyes.
When you see someone cutting lotus grass and cooking it in a big pot, everything is self-explanatory. It must have been picked and eaten, there is no other possibility.
With a secret smile in his heart, Yamamoto Kansuke dismounted and entered the shogunate.
"I asked who this old friend was, but I didn't expect him to come in person with a knife."
In fact, after a little calculation, Xiaoheita knew that it was Kansuke Yamamoto who came. There are many people from the Takeda Army and the Hojo Army who are qualified to cross the river to negotiate, but there are not many people who can talk to both sides, and at the same time, there are not many people who are equally courageous and clever.
Takeda Nobushige's status was too high, and Koheta was only the designated leader of the Yamauchi family, and had not yet become the family's elder. Takeda Nobushige's arrival was due to an imbalance of status. Baba Nobharu and Naito Masayo were okay, but these two would definitely not be able to trick Koheita with their talk, and in the end only Yamamoto Kansuke came.
"Dan Zheng is doing well these days. We haven't seen each other for a while, but Tan Zheng is still as glorious as ever!"
"It's been about a year since we last saw each other through Yuekou, and the sword hasn't changed at all."
The two old Yinbi, you invited me, I let you, they kept pushing and shoving, it took a while before they finally sat down.
“The rice in Danzhengying is so delicious!”
"Go get a bowl for the knife."
Kansuke Yamamoto looked at the vegetable rice mixed with half of the lotus root in the bowl, smiled, and started to devour it hungrily. As expected, wild vegetables are being harvested for cooking in the Xiaoping Taiying camp. There must be some problems with military rations.
"This vegetable rice is so delicious. Thank you for making it right." After licking the last grain of rice clean, Yamamoto Kansuke handed the bowl to Aji.
"Aji, bring another bowl of tea."
"If you are only bringing a knife here to eat, then no matter how many bowls you have, there is no problem. As for the rest, there is no need to ask."
He went to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. At this moment, after witnessing the power of the large tube and the people of Koshibata breaking out, Takeda Harunobu must have wanted to retreat. There was no point for him to stay any longer, so it was better to negotiate a contract while he still had the advantage in strength.
"Why bother? He is a smart man. There is no doubt that this battle will continue. It is better to negotiate a peace and let everyone be safe."
Yamamoto Kansuke smiled, Xiaoping Tai had run out of food, and yet he was still talking about fighting here. But he doesn't want to expose it, nor does he want to expose it. The key to the peace talks is not here.
"Now there are 26,000 heroes in our mountains here. Why do we want peace? If I want to fight, I will fight. If I want to make peace, I will make peace. This belongs to me, not to Takeda or Hojo."
"It's natural to be fearless, but what about Nagano Shinshu?" Kansuke Yamamoto laughed for no reason.
"His Royal Highness Ji Lun has broken out of the siege. Father and son are reunited. Everything is fine and there is nothing wrong!"
"Nagano Shinshu is in peace, but his Minunzu are in dire straits!"
"Huh?" Xiao Pingtai suddenly reacted!
"Let's talk about it." Yamamoto smiled helpfully.
……………
With no other choice, Xiaopingtai asked the commanders of various armies to come forward as soon as they arrived. Including Uesugi Teruhora, Takanashi Masayori, Nagano Yamasa and others gathered in front of Koheita's shogunate, and everyone listened to Yamamoto Kansuke's peace terms.
Although Koheta was still capable of fighting, more than two thousand Uesugi Teruhora died and all the supplies were lost. Nagano Yamasa came out with more than a thousand, which is even more exaggerated. Both of the two corps with more than 10,000 men were severely defeated, and Yamauchi was actually still at a disadvantage.
But the Takeda-Hojo Allied Forces have one of the biggest weights, so big that Koheita must sit down and talk.
The lives of the 7,500 captured soldiers of the Jilun clan!
The most urgent ones are naturally the father and son Nagano Yamasa and Nagano Yamori. These 7,500 lives are more important than their two lives. Only with these people can they defend Nishi Ueno. Without these 7,500 people, the two of them will definitely die, and their death will be ugly, 100%.
Don't think that the Takeda family dare not kill people, not to mention that the three thousand heads of Odawara Well are vividly visible. Even the grass and trees in Saku County were stained with the blood of the people killed by Takeda Harunobu, and all the resisters were slaughtered by him.
Now that Haruka Takeda is threatening the coalition forces with these 7,500 lives, he is certain that Koheita will sit down and talk.
On the Uesugi military camp, Uesugi Teruhu, Takanashi Masayori, Nagano Yamasa, and the Yamauchi family formed a solid semicircle, firmly resisting Takeda and Hojo's attacks. In fact, it is a situation where both gain and lose.
No one can live without the other, and if anyone is doomed, they will all be in danger of dying. Therefore, no matter what, these four parties are watching and helping each other, advancing and retreating simultaneously.
In order to get these 7,500 people back, Nagano and his son would definitely agree to all the conditions they could agree to, even ceding land and paying compensation.
The other three parties cannot ignore the feelings of the Nagano family and cannot fight even if they want to. If these 7,500 people were killed by Takeda Harunobu, then in the future, don’t prepare to do anything, just come to save Nagano Yamasa every year. Nothing can be done but running around.
Everyone came together, and as usual, Uesugi Terutora sat in the main seat in the middle, but everyone repeatedly asked Koyata to sit to the side of Uesugi Terutora, above the generals. Koyata declined, but everyone repeatedly requested, so Koyata had no choice but to sit down.
"Daidao, please tell us your master's conditions."
"It's very simple, there are only three.
First, the Uesugi army will withdraw from Matsuyama and hand over the city to the Hojo clan. With the Tone River as the boundary, they will sign a one-year truce agreement with the Hojo clan.
Second, we will guarantee the lives of the Matsuyama and Minowa people and send them safely to the north bank of the Tone River. But the Nagano clan must cede the Kuragano area to our Takeda clan and pay a ransom of 2,000 kan.
Third, the Yamauchi clan will also sign a one-year truce agreement with our Takeda and Hojo clan, and transfer the Nanban Otsutsu to us."
The content of the third clause is too much. The Yamauchi army has already withdrawn, and the Takeda family has no place to threaten the Yamauchi in a short time. They are so arrogant.
Not only will Kobayata not agree to this clause, but the Yamauchi family will definitely not agree to it.
Seeing Kobayata's embarrassed expression, Nagano Yoshimori has seen the power of the Portuguese gun. Knowing such a sharp weapon, the Yamanouchi family would definitely not give it up, but if the Yamanouchi family did not give it up, 7,500 soldiers of the Nagano family would die.
"Tanzheng, please save my Minowa people!" After saying this, Nagano Yoshimori knelt down in front of Kobayata.
