In December of the 12th year of Yonglu (1569), the war between Ise and Iyu gradually settled.

In Ise, Oda Nobunaga's troops had been fighting for nearly half a year, and did not withdraw even the autumn harvest during this period. They finally took over Okanuchi City, the main city of the Kitaga family, and completed the pacification of Ise.

The Hokage Church originally thought that as long as it was delayed to the autumn harvest, Oda Nobunaga would have to withdraw its troops. Who would have thought that the proportion of permanent troops in Oda Nobunaga's troops was astonishingly high, so they could tolerate the losses caused by the autumn harvest and not withdrawal. However, the troops of the Hokage family did not expect this and did not reserve enough food, wood, rolling stones, and feather arrows in the front line cities, were captured one after another by the Oda army. Starting from October, the Oda family troops began to besiege Okanoi Castle.

However, Okanuchi Castle was strictly guarded, and the Kita-Kei-Kei family, as a kendo master, took the lead, greatly boosting the morale of the defender and making the siege extremely difficult. The Oda family suffered huge casualties in the battle, including Ikeda Hokkaido and Ichitei, and many other high-level samurai. The Oda army had been fighting abroad for half a year, and its morale was sluggish, and its war-weariness began to spread in the army. The Sino-Ise family, who were originally suppressed by Oda Nobunaga, saw that Okanuchi Castle could not be captured for a long time, and their minds gradually became active.

In desperation, Oda Nobunaga began to use diplomatic measures. He proposed that Kitakoto's son, Kitakoto's son, adopt Oda Nobunaga's second son, Oda Nobunaga as adopted son, and then Oda Nobuo's daughter Chiyo Omaeki, then let Oda Nobuo inherit the Kitakoto's family as a member of the Kitakoto's family. If Kotakoto's disciples have to retire and become the position of the monk.

The important officials of the Kitao family protested against such peacekeeping conditions. They pointed out that Oda Nobunaga would compromise only when he saw that Otanoka Castle was difficult to capture. At this time, as long as he insisted on resisting, Oda Nobunaga would have to withdraw his troops. When the war in Kinki broke out again in the next year, Oda Nobunaga had no time to look south, and the Kitao family would have the opportunity to recover Ise's lost territory.

However, Kitaki's son, Kitaki's son, did not dare to take risks. He urged his father to surrender at this time and could save his life. If he refused to negotiate peace, after the castle was broken, according to Oda Nobunaga's temper, the Kitaki clan might have suffered a catastrophe.

The Kōōōōōōō has always been a tough person, and it is such a person who can resist the tens of thousands of troops of the Oda family for more than half a year. However, in the past six months, the relatives of the Kōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōō

On the other hand, the war on Shikoku Island and the progress of Miyoshi's family was also very smooth.

After surrounding the siege of the siege, the Miyo family began to surround the camp and attack. Because the geographical location of Luyo City was important, it was the east gate of Iyu, and the Kono family and many small families of Iyu Country were unwilling to give up easily. Therefore, the Kono family relied on its few prestiges to organize a coalition force that included many small families such as the Utsunomiya family, the Nishinoji family, and went to assist Luyo City in a mighty manner.

Although the coalition was formed, the mobs were all unsure. Over the years, the Miyo family dominated Kinki and had accumulated a lot of reputation. The troops under their command were also known for fighting, and they could be said to be in the sky and underground with the powerful troops. However, to their surprise, after they traveled thousands of miles and crossed mountains and ridges, the Miyo family still failed to take the city. The overjoyed Yiyu coalition immediately launched an attack, but was defeated in one fell swoop by the Miyo family who had been waiting for for a long time in the field.

Afterwards, the Miyo family gave up the city of Lumori Castle and led the army to march straight in, chasing the defeated troops of the coalition forces all the way westward, crossing the mountains, rivers and rivers that were spread throughout the territory of Iyu, and captured the Iyu country's main castle Yuji Castle. The Kono family lost the city and fled to the Maori family in a boat in a hurry to seek shelter.

However, the Kono family itself does not have much control over the small tyrants in the territory of Iyu, and the evacuation of the Kono family will not have much impact on these small tyrants. Since the Iyu country is mountainous and difficult to march, these small tyrants defend their own defense after withdrawing their territory, which makes the Sanhao family quite troubled.

As the time came to autumn harvest, the uncaptured Lu Sen City strangled the food route of the Sanhao family. After leaving Sanhao Yixian to defend Tang Zhucheng, the army withdrew back to Sanqii Kingdom. On the way back, Sanhao army besieged Lu Sen City again. Seeing that there was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, Lu Sen City had to open the city to surrender. The entire Dong Yiyu and most of Zhong Yiyu fell into the hands of the Sanhao family.

After the autumn harvest, the Miyo family immediately rushed west again to attack the remaining territory of Iyu country. However, the Maori family, who had completed the autumn harvest, rushed across the sea at this moment to help the Nishienji family and other Nishio family resisted the Miyo family. At the same time, he brought Kono Dori Nao and Kono Dori back to Iyu, asking him to call on the small families of Higashio family to cooperate with the Maori army and drive away the invaders. The Maori army was led by the famous general Yoshikawa Motoharu, and it was strong and occupied the territory, which made the Miyo family's army unable to start for a while.

At the same time, in order to compete for the sea control power, the Mishima Navy led by Takake Kozakikawa also fought with Toshiyasu Akagi's Awaji Navy Army in the Seto Inland Sea. Toshiyasu Akake and Takakekoko Kozakikawa are both famous naval warfare experts. The two sides fought for more than ten days, but they still had no choice. At the most critical moment of the battle, Yoshikikawa Mirakami sent lobbyists and used a lot of money and territory to lure them to rebel against Bukit Murakami, one of the Noshima Navy Army. Bukit Murakami resolutely led his fleet back to Noshima, despite all the orders of the Maori clan and his fellow tribes.

Murakami Bukit's withdrawal made the Mishima naval army turbulent and his morale was sluggish. Yoshikazu Tomoyasu took the opportunity to make a move and defeated Kozakigawa Takake in one fell swoop. Yoshikawa Motoharu saw the defeat of the navy and was worried that the Maori army was trapped on Shikoku Island by the Miko family because of losing the sea power, and could not return to China, so he had to retreat in a hurry. Kozakigawa's naval army fell into a hard battle to cover the evacuation of the transport fleet, and finally escaped by relying on the changes in the ocean currents. However, because the island's naval army's capable general, Nomizo Katsuka, personally cut off the rear in order to cover the evacuation of the fleet, and was finally defeated and captured.

After the Maori army withdrew, the rich families of Iyu Kingdom completely lost their desire to resist. The rich families of Nishimianji family, including the Nishimianji family, offered affidavits to surrender one after another. Miyoshi Yoshiki Yoshiki took Nomizomi and the captured Maori family as bargaining chips to exchange Kono Tomori's dependence on it, and announced that they would support Kono Tomori to be the governor of the family. Miyoshi Yoshiki brought Kono Tomori back to Yuzuki and put them under house arrest, controlling Iyu Kingdom in his name, and the power actually fell into the hands of the Miyoshi family.

As the 360,000-stone territory of Iyu Kingdom fell into the hands of the Miyo family, due to the Kyoto War, Shiki Ho War lost a large number of territory and regained its momentum. In addition to the Miyo Nagaki Nagaki and Anzai Tokuyao, the four countries were in charge of digesting their territory and guarding against the counterattack of the Mori and Kono families, Tokawa Ichizumi and Miyo Yoshinoya led their troops back to Katsujin, Bomo, and joined forces of Arakimura Shige, Kamiyoshi Raiding and others, with a total force of 25,000 people, with unknown intentions.

There is such a huge army of Sanhao family in the west of Kyoto, so Oda Nobunaga naturally could not ignore it. He once again led 30,000 troops to Luo, gathering 18,000 people left by Minami Omi and Kyoto, with a total force of nearly 50,000.

During this period, Ashikaga Yoshiki was also working tirelessly to revitalize the authority of the shogunate. He first sent people to mediate the war between the Otomo family and the Mori family, the Miyo family and the Mori family, and then persuaded the Hatano family of Tanba and the Iso family of Tango to join the Anti-Sanyo Alliance. The Miyo family was already notorious among the martial families in the world because of the previous burning of the palace and disturbing the emperor's evil deeds. These little families naturally turned to the other side.

In order to show the world that the Oda family's control over Kyoto is as stable as Mount Tai, Oda Nobunaga resisted the opposition and held three large-scale events in Kyoto for the first time. The first was a Go competition, the second was a tea party, and the third was a wrestling competition held last year: the Worship Children's Wrestling Competition. Oda Nobunaga sent a invitation from the major names of Kinai and Kinki in the name of Ashikaga Yoshihiro, asking them to participate in the activities organized by the Oda family.

After learning the news, Yu Qiushang's heart was itchy. However, he also understood that as a hostage, he could not leave Ruojiang City and participate in the wrestling competition. He was simply addicted to words and would not be noticed by the guards even if he was in a bad mood. Tian Shen Kentaro knew his disciple's worries, but he did not say them out.

On the night of November 29, Takamatsu Yoshimatsu suddenly asked Yu Qiushang to his study. Yu Qiushang was not clear and went with a few guards. Takamatsu Yoshimatsu was not a person who liked to go around in circles. After seeing Yu Qiushang coming, he asked straight to the point:

"Yu Qiushang, do you want to participate in your Oda family's wrestling competition this year?"

"Report to Your Highness, yes." Yu Qiushang didn't understand why Takamasato Katsuyama asked like this, but he did not pretend to behave, but answered honestly.

"Then I allow you to go, but I'll come back immediately after the competition." Takamasa Katsuyama sat at the table, flipping through the copywriting under the candlelight, while talking casually, as if talking about something insignificant.

"What? Your Highness?" When Morita Etsuo heard Takamasa Katsuyama's words, he screamed in surprise: "Your Highness, Mr. Yuqiu is our hostage! What is your Highness going to put him back to Yuqiu's house?"

"I didn't want to let him go back, I just let him participate in the competition." Takamasa Katsuyama replied lightly, "This is out of the minimum respect for a martial family who is eager to make achievements."

"What if he took the opportunity to run back? We have no hostages on our hands, how could Yu Qiuping let us go?" In desperation, Morita Exiang didn't care about etiquette, and even though Yu Qiushang was still beside him, he spoke directly.

"I respect Yuqiuji's army. Although his actions are rebellious, he is an amazing samurai and will never do anything traitorous." Takamasa Katsuyama still did not let his eyes leave the copywriting, "and I also believe Yuqiu Shang, he will not take the opportunity to escape."

"How can Your Highness entrust the life and death of the Hoyama family to other people's character?" Morita Exiang looked around a few times while saying, as if he wanted to find a few nearby people to persuade Takamasa Kazumasa to join him, but the other guards looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

"In the period of peace, the promises among samurai are more important than life. Respect and trust are the glory of our martial family." Takamasa Katsuyama slowly stopped his hand turning the book, raised his eyes and glared at Morita Exiang, "It is because of you who are the more people in the world, and laws and regulations will be corrupted."

"Your Highness, sir, I am willing to swear that I will never escape privately." Yu Qiushang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Why should I believe you? What guarantee do you have?" Morita Exiang, who was arguing with Takamasa Katsuyama, muttered impatiently, turned his head and glanced at Yu Qiushang, but found that the latter took out a hand-shaped doll embroidered with cloth from his arms and handed it to him.
