Oda Nobunaga led his troops to turn their guns from Mount Hiei and fight back to Nanomi and Kita Ise, preparing to solve the trouble in their own territory first.
On the other hand, Asai Nagamasa, who had safely withdrawn from Mount Hiei to Otani Castle, received the news that Isono Tamashiro had been betrayed by Hideyoshi Hashiba, and Sawayama Castle fell into the hands of the Oda family.
The frightened and angry Asai Hisamasa ignored Zhu Ji's dissuasion and insisted on punishing the father of the hostage Isono Masaru left in Otani Castle.
Isono Umasa was devastated after receiving the news. Hideyoshi Hashiba took advantage of the situation and made her determined to write a letter to Aguki Sasaki who rebelled against Yamamotoyama Castle.
Yokoyama Castle and Sawayama Castle have already fallen. If Yamamoto Castle also falls to the Oda family, all the important towns on three sides of Otani Castle will be wiped out, and the Asai family's strategic dilemma will become even more severe.
However, Asai Nagamasa could not blame Oda Nobunaga for breaking the armistice agreement, because Isono Tamashii took refuge in the Oda family on his own initiative, and it was not because the Oda family sent troops to attack.
She could only anxiously doubt every important member of the Asai retainers group, worrying that the next traitor would appear, and the loose Kitaomi samurai alliance was on the verge of collapse.
As for Yoshigan, after lifting the siege of Mount Hiei, he immediately began to deal with the Miyoshi family who invaded Konki again.
Taking advantage of the power of peacefully resolving the crisis on Mount Hiei and mobilizing all his strength, Yoshigan vowed to teach the Miyoshi family an unforgettable lesson and further enhance the extraordinary evaluation of himself by the recent samurai families.
The armor of the Nine Virtues of Light sent by Enryakuji Temple was transported across Kyoto to Tamonyama Castle. The gorgeous armor swaggered through the market and blinded everyone.
Master Tiantai Zong Xianru deliberately revealed the Buddha's armor, implying that Yi Gin was the incarnation of Bishamonten, and this news continued to spread among people.
Bishamonten is the King of Tamon, and the castle where Yoshigan lives is called Tamonzan Castle. These coincidences have caused a lot of discussion and suspicion.
In recent years, there are areas with strong Buddhist traditions, and the Tiantai Sect has a huge influence on traditional Buddhists.
Under the deliberate promotion of Master Jueshu, Yiyin's image in recent years has begun to become deified. Although this is due to the needs of the Tiantai Sect's own interests, Yiyin has also benefited a lot.
The current Yi Gin has a white flag with eight banners and a white flag on its left hand, which represents the patron saint of the orthodox Genji samurai family. The bright nine-color armor on its right hand represents the patron saint of Bishamonten Buddhism.
He became less and less like a human being and more like a living god.
The rumors became more and more bizarre as they spread, and in the end, some foolish men and women even shouted slogans about the coming of the God of Light, which made Yiyin shake his head and smile bitterly.
And Oda Nobunaga, who saw the Nine Virtues of Light Armor with his own eyes, was furious. The 50,000 guan he had just received no longer tasted good. The Tiantai Sect is a bald ass!
Compared with Yoshiyin's harvest, Oda Nobunaga felt that he was dismissed as a beggar by Master Kakushu, which was really too much of a deception.
———
No matter how angry Oda Nobunaga was, at this time she no longer had the energy to turn around and settle the score with the nuns at Mount Hiei, so she could only keep her grudge in her heart.
Yoshigan is also returning to Tamonzan Castle from Mount Hiei, and at the same time, he is sending orders to all directions.
As the saying goes, a leader's words can cause his subordinates to lose their legs. Mitsuhide Akechi, who was in the Shiba Residence in Kyoto, took a letter from Yoshihiro and lamented that his master was really becoming more and more mature in his work.
Yoshigan's order to her was to cut off the shogunate's moral support to the Miyoshi family, and to contact the Oda clan samurai family in the western part of Japan to form a joint force to encircle and suppress the Miyoshi army.
Oda Nobunaga has no spare time to go to Higashion to cause trouble, so she has left this matter to Yoshigan.
Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga reached a tacit understanding, and naturally they wanted to bring powerful local samurai such as Matsunagahide, Mibuchi Fujihide, and Araki Murashige of the Oda faction into the anti-Miyoshi family alliance to strengthen their momentum.
Poor Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, she only participated in Nobunaga's siege network because she obeyed Ashikaga Yoshiaki's imperial letter, and led Miyoshi's army to fight back to Konki again.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki is silenced by Yoshigan and the shogunate rebels and refuses to admit his fault, what is the justice of the Miyoshi family returning to the near future? Will they become rebellious officials and traitors again?
Because of Yoshigan's interference, the siege of Mount Hiei was lifted, and the Asai Asakura family signed an armistice agreement, which was equivalent to temporarily withdrawing from Nobunaga's siege network.
The Ishiyama Honganji Temple will never be an enemy of the Shiba family. It is obvious that the master is an old friend of the Shiba family. He is also the largest shareholder of the Hokurikudo Trading Road in recent aspects. He has made a lot of money with the Shiba family.
There is no need for the Ichigo clan to rebel and help the Shiba family fight against the Miyoshi family. As long as Ishiyama Honganji is willing to remain neutral, the Miyoshi family will be completely isolated.
This is equivalent to the powerful local factions of the shogunate such as Shiba Hosokawa, Mibuchi Hatakeyama Ninagawa, headed by Yoshigan Shiba, plus Matsu Nagahide, Mibuchi Fujihide, and Araki Murashige, besieging the Miyoshi family.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was so depressed that he discovered that this was not Nobunaga's siege, but Miyoshi's siege!
