At the end of May, the third year of Yonglu (1560), Junfucheng City, at night. The top point of the small talk, 2+3wx

"The fire is ready and you can act."

Matsusaburo threw away the note in his hand, took out the fire from his arms and blew it twice, threw it on the hay piled in the corner, and the hay that had been sprinkled with sulfur powder quickly ignited.

At the same time, thirteen places in the town of Junfu City were ignited. Matsusaburo guarded the fire and fainted several people who came to put out the fire. Then when the residents around him began to be in chaos, he took a few subordinates and other people who set fire everywhere to hibernate into the moat of Junfu City, and finally escaped from Junfu City along the secret waterway.

Matsusaburo knew that this was their last time lurking near Junfu City. With the occurrence of this fire, their secret passages will be exposed, and their lurking personnel will be completely evacuated tonight. With the level of protection of Junfu City at this time, they will be unable to return to the local area for a long time in the future.

Since the last time, with the help of Ichiku's wife and Sena Hime, she took the families of Sena Hime and the families of the Imakawa family from Shinbu City overnight, Matsusaburo handed the hostages to the Luo family members on the beach, and then lurked back to the vicinity of Shinbu City.

The sudden disappearance of the family members of the retainers did indeed cause great shock to the entire Junfu City. The city lord Imakawa was furious and killed dozens of people in a row, and at the same time sent a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of the hostages.

Since the hostages had been sent to the sea by Matsusaburo and were secretly placed by the Luo family members, the Imakawa family naturally could not find them. As for those killed, these people were known to Matsusaburo before. But after that night, all the lurkers of the Luo family members were evacuated. Now the people killed by Matsusaburo are actually loyal to the Imakawa family.

Shortly after this bizarre hostage disappearance incident, Matsusaburo and others lurked into the vicinity of Junfu City through a secret waterway on the bank of the moat, and set a fire tonight in several places that had been resettled before robbing the hostages.

The fire burned for three days and three nights. Half of the Shimocho Castle in the Suruga City was burned, and the rumors that the Imakawa family was the master of the desecration of his ancestors and were furious were circulated. At the same time, the rumor that the previous one, which wrote the will of the Imakawa Yoshimoto's blood letter, rose again. Originally, the rumor that had been gradually suppressed after the return of the Imakawa family's army, had not disappeared. Now, no matter how it was suppressed, it became more and more intense.

"Fake, fake, all fake, they must be planned in advance. I am the heir of the Imakawa family." In the Junfu City, after hearing this rumor again, the Imakawa family no longer cared about the burning of the castle town. Instead, he shouted and declared that the blood letter Imakawa Yoshimoto decided to use his second son Imakawa Jungawa as his heir was false.

When the generals of Imakawa saw their lord so panicked, they all shook their heads and thought that "The Imakawa family is over."

Looking back, the series of events that happened in the Junfu Castle before seemed to have a huge conspiracy. In fact, after the families of the Imakawa family members suddenly disappeared, the Imakawa family members who stayed in the Junfu Castle realized that something was wrong. If these families were controlled by forces with ulterior motives and used them to threaten the Imakawa family, then the Imakawa family would be in trouble. And even if the hostages were eventually released and returned to their respective homes, this would not be a good thing for the Imakawa family. After all, the Imakawa family had previously controlled the families of these retainers in the Junfu Castle in order to avoid abnormal movements in the special period when the wealthy families of the Suruga, Toei and Sankawa countries were in charge of the death of Imakawa Yoshimoto at home. Now that these hostages returned to their respective homes, it would be equivalent to the wealthy families losing control, and then the problem would be great.

It seems as if these retainers had expected, on the second day after the hostages disappeared, not only did the news of the sudden disappearance of the hostages suddenly spread widely in various places, but there were even rumors that this was a rescue act made by many wealthy families. Some wealthy families seemed to be ready to be independent, and the particular focus was pointed out that the Matsuhira family in Sanhe was.

Residents who realized the serious problem immediately suggested that the new Imakawa family governor Ma, on the one hand, completely suppress the rumors, and on the other hand, they sent people to ask all the wealthy families in various places to come to Junfu Castle within the designated time.

However, their actions were still a bit late. When many wealthy families received this request, they extended the Imakawa family's request for various reasons. As for the Toei and Sankawa countries, before the Imakawa family members arrived at the homes of the wealthy families in those areas, in the western part of the Toei and the eastern part of the Sankawa country, the second son of Imakawa Yoshimoto, suddenly appeared.

In the name of "Imakawa Yoshimoto's blood-written will, he decided to inherit the position of the family governor", Imakawa Junichi began to gather people in the western region of the E Kingdom and the eastern region of the Sankawa Kingdom, attempting to seize the position of the family governor of the Imakawa family.

The sudden appearance of Imakawa Zaner did scare the Imakawa family. After all, Imakawa Zaner has not been at home for a long time. Now no one knows when he returned to his home. So everyone quickly thought of Mrs. Imakawa Zaner, who is the biological mother of Imakawa Zaner, but at this time everyone realized that Mrs. Imakawa and her personal maid Achun seemed to have disappeared together on the night the hostage disappeared. Thinking about this, the conscript behind the hostages were most likely to be the sudden appearance of Imakawa Zaner.

Just as the Imakawa family suddenly realized, the rumors of Imakawa Yoshimoto's blood letter will specify Imakawa's Burial Zero's rumors seemed to have been lurking for a long time, and it was spreading in various parts of the Imakawa family at an unimaginable speed. Originally, the people in various parts of the Imakawa family had different hearts, but now there was a sudden incident of the Imakawa family's supervision. Therefore, the Imakawa family's wealthy families were even more disturbed. Some wealthy families near the Imakawa family had to accept the orders of the Imakawa family to go to the Imakawa family because they were closer to the Imakawa City, but now they simply turned back to their territory and waited and watched.

With such huge rumors, the Imakawa family could only issue a negative statement immediately, and on the other hand, they tried to suppress the rumors to continue to spread. Fortunately, at this time, the main force of the Imakawa family army in the first place was gradually withdrawn from all over the Suruga Kingdom, so the Imakawa family immediately used this force to gradually suppress the rumors. Of course, this was an improvement in the Suruga Kingdom, and the Tomeng Kingdom and Mikawa Kingdom were still becoming more and more intense.

As the situation improved, such a fire suddenly occurred in the Shima Town of Junfucheng, so the rumors that had gradually subsided in the local area flourished again. Until now, the Kawa clan was really not qualified to inherit the position of the family governor, and the wealthy families in various places had also experienced abnormal movements.

Imakawa Shima was also a family governor who was born at the wrong time. When his father Imakawa Yoshimoto was alive, Taiping was mostly just educating him about handling political affairs (Imakawa Yoshimoto’s ideas were similar to those of later parents. Dad, I work hard, son, you can achieve success). Who would have thought that as soon as he was the head of the family governor, he encountered these difficult things, so for a while, he could only keep declaring that the will of Imakawa Jung’s inheritance was fake, but he still couldn’t respond.

Seeing that the new governor of the Imakawa clan is so decadent, Okabe Motonobu, who had just retreated, was still quite steady, so he suggested to the Imakawa clan: "Now, regardless of the truth or falsehood of the rumors, if Imakawa Cang Zero can be solved quickly, then everything will naturally be solved."

"Ah? Then, what do you think you should do?"

"My subordinates think it's better to raise troops to attack."

"Then I will leave it to you. Well, I will appoint you as the general of the siege army of our family, and you will be the one who will control each army." Imakawa Masaki felt relieved when he saw that the general of Shige came out to preside over the presidency.

"Oppose!" Guankou Qinyong said firmly at this time: "I just encountered a fire in my family's city, and the wealthy families in various places have changed again. In order to ensure the safety of the city of Junfu, we must also leave some military power. In this way, our family has no more military power to attack. Why don't you ask the lord to stabilize the other wealthy families first and wait for the various parties in the territory to stabilize, and then attack Imakawa Zaini with all his strength?"

"Well. It's okay to do this." After hearing what Quenguchi said, Imakawa's son Shin-shi changed his mind immediately after thinking for a while.

"Master! How can I change the orders every day?" Okabe Motonobu said angrily immediately.

"Master, you can't beat me!"

"Lord..." The important officials in the family had different opinions. Imakawa didn't know what to do, so he simply asked the retainers to retreat first. He himself went to ask his grandmother Shouguini's opinion.

The strong woman, Kanei, also proposed to the Imakawa clan Mama's policy of "responding to Tonori, Sanhe territory, and strengthening friendly and supportive relations with Go Hojo" (Hojo Chiya is the father-in-law of the Imakawa clan). Then he taught some countermeasures in detail to Imakawa clan Mama. So on the second day, the Imakawa clan's response strategy was finally introduced. As the general of Okabe Motonori went to Tonori, Sanhe area, first dealing with Imakawa Cang Zero, and then taking action against those rich families with abnormal movements.

However, before Okabe's Motonobu's army had gathered, new news came from Sankawa Country. It turned out that Matsuhei Motoyashi actually made a name for not admitting that Imakawa's family was really the governor of the Imakawa family, and became independent in Okazaki Castle in the Nishisankawa region.

After the Matsue family declared independence, the city lord of Noda Castle, Suganuma Tatsuei, who was also a neighbor of Matsue family, took this opportunity to raise an army and become independent.

As a result, the trend of independence in various places became more and more intense.
