The first thousand and forty-four chapters of the three good things
Sanhao Changyi sighed.
"I was brought back by the envoy."
"What!"
Miyoshi Masayasu's expression completely changed and he said solemnly.
"Lord Changyi, we must not obey this order!
If you don't leave us the seal or seal, you won't give us any room to distinguish. In the future, the crime of attacking the general's garrison will be firmly pinned on our heads!"
Sanhao Changyi smiled bitterly.
"I understand everything you said, but the messenger was very alert. After I confirmed it, she found an excuse to take it back. I was negligent and allowed her to succeed.
There is no proof for the military order. Of course I know there is something wrong with it. But you also know the threat we pose to His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. It is understandable that she would do this.
I'm old and don't want to bother anymore, and the Settsu people don't want to be enemies of the Shikoku clan anymore.
His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugi wants us to taint ourselves, so we should do it more thoroughly so that she has no excuse to continue to cause trouble for us."
Mihao Changyi's unprincipled attitude of compromise made Mihao Zhengyao lose his voice.
Among the three Miyoshi, Tomomichi Iwana was in charge of foreign affairs. Masayasu Miyoshi controlled Sakai Port and had little military strength. Among the three, the one who played the leading role was Changitoshi Miyoshi, who controlled the Settsu clan.
Miyoshi Nagaitsu is obviously disheartened, and she is determined to compromise and just want to return to her family. She can't even hold back a seal letter, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi is even more unscrupulous, and he can manipulate the three of them at will.
Miyoshi Masayasu looked up to the sky and sighed. It was only today that she really thought about quitting. Miyoshi Yoshitsugi had no tolerance for others and only knew how to play tricks. He was far less generous and open-minded than His Highness Miyoshi Nagakei.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Iwanari Tomomichi came forward to smooth things over and said.
"At this point, we have no choice but to do it. Hurry up to break Nijo Castle, capture the general, and let this matter go."
Miyoshi Masayasu glared at her and said.
"How can it be so simple? What if General Ashikaga resists? If she dies in Nijo Castle, we will really be doomed!"
Iwanari Tomomichi was speechless by her, Miyoshi Choitsu frowned and felt that Miyoshi Masayasu was worrying too much and said.
"No way? She only has a few followers under her command, and they can't stop our army at all. Why do they want to block the car with their arms and end up destroying themselves?"
She is the Ashikaga General. Even if Miyoshi Yoshiki succeeds His Highness to Kamikaze, he will respect the Ashikaga family and will not let her lose dignity.
It won’t be a dead end, right?”
Miyoshi Masayasu said uncertainly.
“Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
This general is known as a strong-willed general with a strong temperament. I am worried that if something happens, we will fall into an irreversible situation, so we must be cautious."
Sanhao Changyi said dissatisfied.
"The military order cannot be delayed any longer and we must attack the city immediately. Many people in Settsu saw me receiving the order and were afraid of chaos if it took too long.
Their families are all in Settsu Country, and they are most afraid that I will disobey the family governor at this time and cause damage to their family business, so they are very vigilant.
If you don’t want to do this, then let Iwa Chenghime do it.”
Iwanari Yudong nodded and said.
"It's better for me to do this."
Miyoshi Kangden felt desolate, and she was thinking about the future of the three of them. Unfortunately, others thought she had a grudge and deliberately delayed it.
The three good people have stayed together and supported each other for so many years. Now it's time for them to fly away when disaster strikes. She sighed and nodded.
Seeing that Miyoshi Masayasu no longer objected, Miyoshi Choitsu glanced at Iwanari Tomomichi, who quickly walked out of the formation and gathered troops to attack the city.

It is getting late, but Kyoto under the setting sun is even more lively than during the day. The raging fire shuttles through the old wooden buildings and continues to spread.
At this time, not only the Imperial Palace, but also the surrounding samurai residences were affected. The residence closest to Ashikaga Shogun originally symbolized honor and status, but now it became a disaster.
Not only did the flames target the nearby nobles, but as the rebels became more and more indulgent, the surrounding areas of the imperial palace were also invaded. The Hime warriors, who were fascinated by the wealth and wealth of Kyoto, committed plunder and robbery and committed all kinds of crimes.
The entire Kyoto trembled under their violence, and the former high-ranking ministers were miserable. They all scolded the Miyoshi family for causing trouble, and the Ise family for inviting wolves into the house.
At this time, they did not know that the great rebellion that truly destroyed the majesty of the shogunate and collapsed their rule had already occurred.
In Nijo Castle, the Ashikaga family is waiting for the Miyoshi family of Kamiro to make terms. It is like another reincarnation of the two-hundred-year shogunate's political struggle. Only this time, they are destined to be disappointed.
In the meeting hall, Ashikaga Yoshiteru sat in a depressed state, while the people around him knelt respectfully, waiting for the envoys of the Miyoshi family to come to negotiate.
At this moment, the sliding door of the meeting hall was violently opened, and a Ji warrior rushed in in a panic, shouting.
"Lord Gongfang! The Sanhao family is attacking the city!"
"What!"
All the ladies present were in an uproar, Ashikaga Yoshiki raised his head, his eyes were like fire.
"Noisy! Shut up! Let her speak clearly!"
The public bowed and apologized, and all looked at Warrior Ji who rushed in. The man said urgently.
"The Miyoshi army besieging the city suddenly launched an offensive, climbed onto the city wall, and opened the gate of Sannomaru. We were out of numbers and did not engage in confrontation with them, so we retreated to Ninomaru.
Now, the enemy troops are still advancing, I beg you to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki laughed loudly and glared angrily at Feng Gongguo who had persuaded her before. The Miyoshi family knew how to measure and were trying to gain bargaining chips for negotiations. What a shame!
The Feng Gong public looked in disbelief, stepped forward to pull up the Ji warrior who reported the news, and shouted.
"Impossible! It's impossible for the Sanhao family to attack the city! Mr. Gongfang is here, how dare they attack the city by force! How dare they!"
The man couldn't get away and shouted at Ashikaga Yoshiki.
"Kongkata-sama! What I said is true! The enemy will board the Ninomaru soon, and it will be too late if we delay any longer!"
Nijo Castle is a Rinkaku-style flat castle built with painstaking efforts by Ashikaga Yoshiki. A circle from the outside to the inside is divided into Sannomaru, Ninomaru where the residence hall is located, and the Main Maru where the castle tower is located.
Defending such a military castle requires a lot of military strength. It was originally the responsibility of the Ashikaga Hui clan, but was later handed over to the Ninagawa family and the shogunate to guard it.
But Ninagawa himself was shrinking in his territory, using the busy autumn harvest as an excuse to delay time. Today, in Nijo Castle, there are only about thirty people from Ashikaga Yoshiteru's Hatamoto and the public.
Not to mention the defense of the three-story castle, more than thirty people could not even stand up to the one-story wall. The guards had no choice but to retreat to buy time while coming to ask the general for instructions.
Ashikaga Yoshiki cursed coldly.
"Let her go! Isn't that embarrassing enough? The Miyoshi family has rebelled, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi is so brave.
The smoke in the direction of Kyoto is getting thicker and thicker. She really broke into the imperial palace and killed my relatives. She was so unscrupulous and didn't take the Ashikaga family seriously at all!
Hahaha...it's ridiculous that I'm still here waiting for her to send someone to negotiate and take pity on me...shame...what a shame to the Ashikaga family!"
