Chapter 340 Strategy

 Having set enough pressure on the general, Yiyin only needs to wait for the result.

The Miyoshi and Rokkaku families have been the shogunate's biggest thorn in the east and west in recent times. Any changes in any of them would be enough to trigger a stress response from the shogunate.

What's more, now that both sides are launching at the same time, there is no need to worry that the shogunate will not be shaken and the general will not compromise.

The situation of the Miyoshi family is false, but the situation of the Rokkaku family is real.

The Rokkaku family and the Shiba family were not in harmony. Noragada joined forces to fight, and Yoshigami defeated the Rokkaku family's ambition to dominate Omi country. Her family hated him to the core.

Today's Rokkaku family no longer has the arrogance of Rokkaku Noyori's era, and is surrounded from the north and south by the Asai Shiba family, making it difficult for them to display their power.

The Shiba family is a branch of the third-in-chief family and has a very high status in the guardian system. The Rokkaku family does not have the confidence to take the initiative.

Attacking the Shiba family is a serious provocation to the shogunate and the shogunate, and the consequences will not be bearable by the Rokkaku family today.

Therefore, if Rokkaku Yoshihide and his daughter want to break the situation, they will still choose the Asai family.

After the Battle of Noragada, the Asai family nominally took back the three Kitaomi counties that had been occupied by the Rokkaku family.

He also participated in the Kinkin War, was rewarded by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and became the guardian of Kitaomi River.

In this way, he cleared his reputation of expelling and guarding the Kyogoku family, and gained the right to rule Kitaomi.

However, the three counties of Kitaomi only surrendered in name, and the military and food services were not recognized at all.

He participated in the Nora field one after another. In the past two battles, the Asai family gained a lot, but the family suffered a lot of losses.

The Wu family fears power but not virtue.

The samurai family of the three northern Omi counties refused the Asai family's military and food services on the grounds that they had been exploited by the Rokkaku family for many years and were unable to serve.

Although Asai Nagamasa was angry, he was unable to use weapons anymore, so he had to hold his nose and admit it.

Rokkaku Yoshiken Yoshiharu and his daughter spotted the point where the power of the Asai family was in decline and contacted the Mino Isshiki family to take action together.

They wanted to overthrow the Asai family in one fell swoop and break the bad situation of being flanked by the Asai Shiba family from the north and the south, with the shogunate eyeing the west side.

Meino Isshiki never breaks through the barrier and goes straight into the Yamashina Basin.

At the top, it can attack Asai County, where the Asai family was founded, and at the bottom, it can invade Sakata County, which is controlled by the Asai family, directly tearing the connection between the three Kitaomi counties and the Asai family.

The Rokkaku family launched efforts from both the east and west sides of Lake Biwa at the same time.

Aichi County, Inugami County on the east coast, and Takashima County on the west coast are the three northern Omi counties that have superficially surrendered to the Asai family. They are all in disarray and can be conquered in one fell swoop.

The Asai family has not digested the three northern counties, and the military is exhausted due to continuous wars.

It seems that the family fortune is strong, but in fact it is weak and unable to withstand attacks from both sides.

Without foreign aid, we will probably suffer big losses this time.

Since Yoshigan knew that Minami Omi and Mino were going to join forces to attack Kitaomi, there was no reason to sit idly by.

The shogunate is decayed, and the Ashikaga family likes to play with balance when doing things, which is really unreliable.

Facing the powerful Rokkaku family, the Shiba family and the Asai family are at odds with each other and help each other.

Regardless of whether the shogunate and the Oda family take any action, the Shiba family must help the Asai family.

Helping her family is helping yourself.

Regarding how to help the Asai family, Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide have had several discussions over the past few days and have come up with a general strategy.

He looked at the concubines under his command and began to give orders.

"Maeda Yoshi, you will prepare secretly after you return. As expected, the Rokkaku family will take action after the spring plowing.

You need to mobilize the army after the spring plowing and put pressure on Koga so that the Rokkaku family does not dare to invade the north with all their strength."

"Hi!"

"Otani Yoshitsugi, the same goes for you. After the spring plowing, you mobilized troops into the remaining fields to support Maeda's interest operations as a reserve force.

In addition, use your samurai family from Minami Omi to influence the villages in the Rokkaku family's territory, and try to make the local samurai passively respond to the Rokkaku family's recruitment."

"Hi!"

"The Todo family contacted the samurai families in Inugami County and expressed their attitude that everyone loses. They asked the samurai families in Inugami County and even the three counties to mobilize to help the Asai family overcome this crisis.

I think they don’t want the Rokkaku family to come back, right? Her family’s military ration service sucks the marrow out of their bones.”

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide.

"You contact Katsuhisa Niko of Yamato and ask her to ensure that there is no shortage of logistics for Maeda's interests.

In addition, after the Asai family reported military information to the shogunate, you were responsible for communicating with the shogunate and transporting military supplies to the Todo family through the Setagawa Lake Biwa waterway.

You must ensure that the shogunate supports my family's mobilization. By helping the Asai family, my family is also doing things for the shogunate.

We will never tolerate such bad incidents as fighting in the front and being stabbed by our own people in the rear.

In addition, you should also inform the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and seek their understanding and support to help you clear your joints.

Remember, the Asai family must report the Rokkaku family’s changes before taking action, so as not to let me break my trust.”

Yoshigan believes in Akechi Mitsuhide's loyalty to him, but this girl is too ruthless in what she does. If you leave a hole for her, she will tear it out.

It's hard to say that she took the opportunity to sell the Pu Sheng family and cause civil strife in the Rokkaku family.

We must guard against deadlocks and speak so that she has no room to make her own decisions.

Akechi Mitsuhide naturally knew what Yoshiyin meant, nodded gracefully, and smiled innocently.

Yiyin was too lazy to pay attention to her pretense and lowered his head to think about whether there was anything missing in his order.

This support was led by Iga leader, and the main force was Maeda Yoshino's troops.

The Iga Basin connects Yamashiro, Omi, Yamato, and Ise Shikoku. Surrounded by mountains, each of the four countries has an entrance and exit.

Kitaiga, where Akechi Mitsuhide's territory is located, dealt with the mountain town Shigarakiguchi, communicated with the mountain town, and transported materials via waterways to support the Todo family.

Yuno, who is responsible for Maeda's interests, borders the Minami-Omi Rokkaku family, and going out from the Kokaguchi is Minami-Omi-Koka County.

The Kataikou leading to Ise is also within Yuye territory. Although it is unlikely, we must be careful of interference from Ise.

The pressure from Maeda's interests was so great that it was difficult for Yu Yezhong to take into account the overall situation.

Therefore, it was necessary for Otani Yoshitsugi to send troops to help, and the Minami Iga people to guard Kataikou and serve as her back-up reserve.

The Minami-Iga Yamato Port leads to the Yamato Territory of the Shiba family, and Katsuhisa Niko transports materials and supplies to the front from this logistics line.

Otani Yoshitsugi recruited many people from the country in Minamiomi who had been oppressed for many years, and they were full of disgust for the Rokkaku family.

Using these Ji warriors to send messages to influence the people of the Rokkaku family's territory, I wonder if it can disrupt the recruitment of the Rokkaku family and the stability of the territory. It is worth a try.

Inugami County, where the Todo family is located, is on the east bank of Lake Biwa, which is convenient for receiving water-borne supplies.

Inugami County is surrounded by Sakata County and Aichi County, and neither the Rokkaku Family nor the Mino Isshiki Family can directly attack here.

Once the local samurai family was convinced by the Todo family, they mobilized to become the reserve force of the Asai family.

If there is a problem in any direction on the north or south, troops can be sent in time to support and prevent the front from completely collapsing.

Moreover, Inugami County's attitude will affect the samurai families of the three northern Omi counties, triggering them to mobilize to support the Asai family.

In the long run, this is actually bad news for Asai Nagamasa's integration of the three counties.

The samurai family of the three counties supported the Asai family, providing help in times of need. From now on, Asai Nagamasa would have no reason to use strong methods against them and carry out territorialization.

Yoshihiro Shiba also hopes that things will develop like this. Whether the Rokkaku family or the Asai family are strong, it will not be a good thing for the Shiba family.

The Shiba family's attitude towards the Asai family is both practical and defensive.
