Chapter 1614 Zhao Liuliang digs a hole

A day and a half later, envoys sent by several southern lords were escorted to Susa Castle.

Yun Zheng only met with those envoys and left the specific negotiation matters to Takeshi Sanada and Nobuyuki Tanaka.

Before the negotiations, Yun Zheng had already drawn a red line for the two.

Their army must enter the south, take over the south, and reorganize the armies of several southern lords.

As for the rewards, he actually didn't care at all.

It doesn't matter what kind of reward Sanada Takeshi gives, as long as he can justify it.

After half a day of negotiations, Takeshi Sanada and the envoys of the lords finalized the details of the surrender.

As long as there are no problems with those lords, they can start taking over the defense of the south.

After seeing off several lords' envoys, Takeshi Sanada went to find Zhao Liuliang for a drink.

"I say, have you recruited all your soldiers? Are you still in the mood to drink with me?"

Zhao Liuliang teased Takeshi Sanada.

"It's okay. Someone is taking care of this matter."

Sanada Takeshi waved his hand casually, "I guess His Highness will be returning to the capital soon. By then, we may not have a chance to drink."

"Not really."

Zhao Liuliang laughed, "When you finish the work in the south, His Highness will reward you for your merits! We will have plenty of opportunities to drink then."

"You're fine anyway, drink something!"

Takeshi Sanada placed the jar of wine in front of Zhao Liuliang.

"Why do I feel like you have something on your mind?" Zhao Liuliang looked at Sanada Takeshi suspiciously, "You will soon become Yu Wangle, why do I feel like you are still unhappy?"

Sanada Takeshi waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this, let's drink!"

He really had something on his mind.

He wanted Zhao Liuliang to give him some advice, but he didn't know how to start.

The key is that Zhao Liuliang is loyal to Yun Zheng.

He was afraid that once he spoke out what was in his heart, Yun Zheng would hear it.

Seeing that Sanada Takeshi didn't say anything, Zhao Liuliang didn't ask any more questions, but simply agreed readily: "Since you are in this mood, then I will drink a few glasses with you! Wait a moment, I will ask someone to prepare two side dishes."

Sanada Takeshi shook his head: "Don't bother, just drink it like this."

"also!"

Zhao Liuliang agreed and went to get two wine bowls himself.

Soon, the two of them started drinking, taking turns to drink.

The wine of Yu Country was rather bland, and even after drinking several bowls, the two of them did not feel tipsy.

However, Zhao Liuliang and Takeshi Sanada were already quite familiar with each other, and after a few bowls of wine, the two gradually opened up.

"What happened to you?"

Zhao Liuliang looked at Sanada Takeshi in confusion, "Just tell me what's going on. I treat you as a brother and half-master, so don't hide anything from me."

Takeshi Sanada said nothing, but just picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip of wine.

"If you do that, you won't be able to drink this wine."

Zhao Liuliang looked at Takeshi Sanada with displeasure.

Sanada Takeshi hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I'm just worried!"

"What are you worried about?"

Zhao Liuliang smiled, "Are you afraid that you can't manage this land well, or..."

Sanada Takeshi shook his head: "I am afraid that some people here will be ready to make a move as soon as His Highness returns to the capital..."

As he spoke, Takeshi Sanada began to tell Zhao Liuliang in detail what he was worried about.

Before this, he had already decided to kill those lords in the south together, and Yun Zheng also agreed to his plan.

But now, these lords have surrendered and will receive greater rewards.

He was worried that these lords would become restless after Yun Zheng and his men returned from the expedition.

Moreover, there is the ambitious man named Nobuyuki Tanaka.

Once these people unite to deal with him, this land will inevitably fall into war again.

If Yun Zheng got the news, he would definitely think that it was his lack of ability that caused all these messes.

By that time, his role as the Feather King would probably be over.

Moreover, he really wanted to establish his prestige on the battlefield.

Otherwise, his prestige would be insufficient, and even without Tanaka Nobuhiro and those lords, his position as the Feather King would not be secure!

But now, those lords in the south have all surrendered!

He probably has no chance to establish his prestige on the battlefield.

"Are you thinking too far ahead?"

Zhao Liuliang looked at Takeshi Sanada in astonishment.

"Your Highness always says that if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries."

Sanada Takeshi sighed with a worried look on his face: "I am walking on thin ice now, I have to look at the long term!"

"This...is true."

Zhao Liuliang nodded slightly, thought silently for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually..."

Zhao Liuliang suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words.

Seeing him hesitate to speak, Sanada Takeshi immediately asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Forget it, let's drink!"

Zhao Liuliang waved his hand and picked up the wine bowl to pour wine into his mouth.

The more he did this, the more Sanada Takeshi asked.

"You just said I was unhappy, why are you unhappy again?"

Takeshi Sanada looked at Zhao Liuliang with dissatisfaction.

"I don't dare to say it!"

Zhao Liuliang looked around like a thief and said in a low voice, "You'd better not ask. Although this matter can solve your troubles, if His Highness finds out, I'm afraid neither you nor I will have a good ending!"

Solve his problems?

When Sanada Takeshi heard what Zhao Liuliang said, he felt like he was being scratched by a cat.

It would be great if Zhao Liuliang could find a way to solve his troubles!

"Don't worry, no matter what you say, only the two of us know it!"

Sanada Takeshi made a solemn promise and pleaded in a low voice: "If you can help me, I will reward you handsomely in the future."

“This is not a question of whether to help you or not!”

Zhao Liuliang looked embarrassed. "We all have bright futures now. There is really no need to ruin our futures for this matter! As for your troubles, we can slowly solve them after you become the Feather King."

"You don't trust me!"

Takeshi Sanada was dissatisfied.

"I……"

Zhao Liuliang was speechless for a while and seemed to want to punch Sanada Takeshi.

But he finally endured it.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Liuliang lowered his voice and said, "Don't send someone to inform those lords after the army enters Shigao City, saying that you want to lead them to Shigao City and poison them together!"

"what?"

Takeshi Sanada was stunned.

I don’t have this idea at all!

How could this happen...

Ok?

As he was thinking about it, Takeshi Sanada suddenly had an idea.

Soon, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Takeshi Sanada's eyes.

If those lords in the south refuse to surrender and the war reignites in the south, Your Highness will definitely investigate the reasons.

It's impossible for me to send someone to inform those lords, right?

Since it’s not someone sent by me, then it can only be Tanaka Nobuyuki!

This is a great opportunity to get rid of Tanaka Nobuhiro and those lords!

Without these threats, he can secure his position as the Feather King!

wonderful!

Wonderful!

"Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

Takeshi Sanada was overjoyed and quickly thanked Zhao Liuliang.

"I didn't say anything."

Zhao Liuliang quickly shook his head, "You are a smart person, I believe you won't do anything stupid! Think twice before doing anything. As I said before, you and I both have a bright future, don't do anything that will make you regret."

"understand!"

Sanada Takeshi laughed, "Come on, drink, drink!"

As he spoke, Sanada Takeshi picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Zhao Liuliang...
