Iimoriyama Castle changed overnight, but Yoshigan sat firmly in the castle tower, with Mitsuhide Akechi assisting him.
The Third Taifu of Baidi led his people to arrest various rebellious families, and killed more than ten families successively, staining the mountain city with blood.
The sky was getting slightly brighter, and the envoy sent by Yiyin had already reported back.
After hearing that Iimori Mountain Castle had arrived, follow-up supplies were rushed here quickly. The first batch of baggage will arrive at noon today.
Yoshihiro looked at the generals and named Maeda's interests.
"Ji Li, you and the remaining troops under your command will stay here. Guard the city carefully and take care of the logistics and supplies, and make sure there are no mistakes."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After thinking about it, it is Maeda's interests that Yiyin trusts the most.
Now that he's in the shogunate's army, according to Akechi Mitsuhide's wishes, he probably won't be able to fight.
Then there will be no danger of dividing the army into a weak one by leaving the three reserve armies in Iga.
On the contrary, guarding logistics and protecting supply lines will be the top priority in the subsequent battle.
In addition, he glanced at Suzuki Shigehide.
Although the war is going smoothly these days, this mercenary leader with a ladylike temperament is in a state of despair.
Shiga Icun defeated Yamato, and Miyoshi Yoshihiro died because of her. Miyoshi Changqing recovered and will never let Zahezhong go.
She followed Yiyin out of desperation. But she was also worried about what to do after the war.
"Suzuki Hime, please take the Zahe Party back to Kinoki Country."
Suzuki Shigehide was stunned and even forgot to say hi.
Before the battle is over, Sibo Yiyin is going to kill the donkey? What about the military achievements he promised?
Feeling dejected and unable to resist, he had no choice but to answer.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Seeing her melancholy, Yiyin knew that she had misunderstood and shook his head.
These mercenaries just have no sense of security. They have been sold to others too many times, and if there is any change, they will think of the worst outcome.
He had no intention of throwing Suzuki Shigehide away after use, but wanted to support the Zaga Party lineage.
The territory of the Zaga people is in the eastern part of Kii country.
Nishi can keep an eye on the Negrazhong and help the Izumi-Hosokawa family stabilize the south, so that they will no longer be threatened by attacks from two sides.
Dong can intimidate Yamato Nanbu, Junkei Tsutsui's territory, and make her be more honest.
To the north is Nan Hanoi. The current governor of the Yuzuo family, Yuzuo Xinjiao, probably killed his mother and came to power. This man is very ambitious.
When you get to the south, you must look north. If the Youzuo family is safe, there will be no peace in Beihe.
Yiyin captured Beihanoui and gave it to the Sanyuan family, so he had to finish it beautifully to impress the martial arts family.
Only in this way can we do well and become stronger. This golden brand of the Sibo family can build its good reputation in the subsequent alliances between the Wu family.
Therefore, Suzuki Shigehide must be treated with enough sweetness, otherwise these mercenaries will turn to serve others. In recent years, the situation in the south has been full of fog, and there is no check and balance.
“Suzuki shows off again!
When we do things at Sibo Yiyin, we always do what we say and what we do will achieve results.
Fight for me, and I will give you what is due to you.
From the look on your face, you might think that I am going to burn the bridge!"
When it comes to acting, Yi Yin is almost perfect. Playing the strong and upright Shiba Gozen is really easy.
Suzuki Shigehide was scolded by Yoshigan, but he also woke up, with hope in his heart, and he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Suzuki Shigehide is so stupid, I'm really sorry!
Please also ask the emperor to tell you how Zahe Dang will behave after returning to China."
Yiyin nodded with satisfaction.
"After you go back, you send troops to threaten Genlai Temple.
I don’t need you to do anything, just lead the Genlai people back from Kishiwada Castle.”
Suzuki Shigehide was stunned. This was not difficult, on the contrary, it was very simple.
The Zahe people believe in the Ichijo sect, which is fundamentally at odds with the Shingon sect of the Genlai Temple.
Now that most of the people are not in the country, it would be reasonable to provoke them in the past.
This is a simple matter for Zahe people, and it can even be said that they do it several times a year.
Yoshigan's concern is how long the Izumi-Hosokawa family can hold on.
If the Miyoshi negotiations with the shogunate had not concluded, the Izumi-Hosokawa family themselves would have collapsed, and Akechi Mitsuhide's plan would have been useless.
The Wu family are all realistic and will not stand up for a dead person unless the dead person's name can be used to gain more benefits.
To ensure the success of Mitsuhide Akechi's postwar layout of the shogunate, we must first ensure that the Izumi-Hosokawa family will not perish in this battle.
Now Hosokawa Motonsune and Hosokawa Fujitaka are both trapped in Kishiwada Castle. If the castle is broken and they die, everything will be over.
Therefore, Yiyin arranged for Suzuki Shigehide to persuade the Genrai Temple and ask the Genrai people to withdraw their troops.
If the Izumi-Hosokawa family couldn't resist the naval forces that came ashore along the way, including Anzai Toyasu, they might as well be destroyed.
This kind of trash will die in troubled times sooner or later, and is not worth the Spo family's help.
As for the benefits for Suzuki Juhide, Yoshigami said.
"Do your best, and after the war, I will grant you Kii the position of acting guardian."
Suzuki Shigehide suddenly raised his head, in disbelief.
She comes from a humble background and is not qualified to serve as an acting official for a country.
Moreover, it was she who single-handedly arranged for the Hatakeyama family to be kicked out of Kii by Kunichi.
Hatakeyama Takamasa hates her to the core and will definitely hinder her, making it difficult for her to protect Dai.
Yiyin glanced at her and said displeased.
"You do not trust me?"
"Suzuki Shigehide is scared, I believe it. Thanks to the emperor for his great kindness, the Suzuki family is willing to serve as the emperor's driver and willing to be the lackeys of the Shiba family."
Suzuki Shigehide was so excited that he kowtowed to the ground.
What is a huge difficulty for her is not difficult for Yiyin.
The Suzuki family were Chinese and had a low status, so they had no chance of becoming a guardian.
But according to the rules of the guardianship, it is a guardianship nomination and the shogun's approval, which does not actually involve bloodline.
At the beginning, Yoshigan sought the title of Owari guardian for Oda Nobunaga based on the title of hereditary Owari guardian of the Shiba clan.
Therefore, as long as Hatakeyama Takamasa lets loose his mouth.
Using her position as Kii's guardian, she can ask Ashikaga Yoshiteru to become Suzuki Shigehide's guardian, and this will happen.
The problem is two.
1. Hatakeyama Takamasa hates Suzuki Shugexiu to the core, how can he come forward?
Second, will Ashikaga Yoshiteru agree?
This is all thanks to Youzuo Xinjiao.
Had she not overthrown the rule of the Hatakeyama family in Hanoi, Hatakeyama Takayama would never have been so easy to talk to.
Nowadays, the Hatakeyama family has lost its territory and is like a phoenix that has fallen on the ground. No matter how arrogant Hatakeyama Gaozheng is, he cannot be stubborn.
Although the Hatakeyama family declined over the years, the Yusa family gained real power in Minamihanoi.
But the Hatakeyama family still had tens of thousands of direct officials in Hanoi, and they also had a group of direct officials to support.
No matter how stubborn a person is, he can't force his stomach to eat.
Nowadays, part of her direct leadership is in the hands of Kitakawachi Yoshiin, and part is in the hands of Minamikawachi Yusa family.
Whether these direct leaders will be swallowed up by other martial arts families after the war depends on whether she understands the situation or not.
The general was actually well aware of Yu Zuoxin's mother-killing and independence issue, but he had to compromise due to formality.
Ashikaga Yoshiki is as strong as fire, how could he tolerate Yusa Shinji playing tricks on her, but he just can't care about it for the time being.
As long as Hatakeyama Takamasa Matsuguchi agrees to Suzuki Shigehide as the guardian of Kii.
Yiyin will use military force to oppress Yuzuo Xinjiao from annexing her Nanhei direct territory.
The direct leadership of Kitakogenchi will also be given to Hatakeyama Takamasa, at least to give this nobleman, one of the three leaders, some dignity.
The general will definitely approve of this matter.
The third lord of the shogunate is the highest-ranking nobleman below the Ashikaga family, and they are all members of the Ashikaga clan.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru had no reason to slap himself in the face and let his family be bullied by traitors like the Yusa family.
In this way, as long as Hatakeyama Takamasa is willing to face reality, he will definitely give in.
Even if she refuses, her family's direct ministers will force her to submit.
After all, everyone has to eat. Without direct collar, what will everyone eat?
As for the Suzuki family, the Chinese blood is too low, so being appointed as the guardian is despised by all samurai families.
Anyway, it’s the Hatakeyama family who are being laughed at, and Yoshigan doesn’t care.
Hatakeyama Takamasa is already known as a prodigal daughter, so don't worry about being accused of being indifferent to superiors and inferiors.
The top priority is to keep the direct leadership of the Hatakeyama family. Why do you want to save face when you are hungry?
