More than one hundred and seventy people rode on two horses, heading all the way towards Asakura Sodi's station.
If Asakura Kageki hadn't led the team, there might have been a dispute before they even got close.
Leaving the brigade outside, Shima Shengmeng followed Asakura Kageki into the Chinese shogunate.
The Asakura family mobilized very quickly, spring plowing was still in progress, and many Hime warriors had already arrived from the Tsuruga clan and Ono clan as the backbone.
Coupled with the enthusiastic support of various families in the Northern Fukui Plain, they took the opportunity to cleanse and plunder the temple properties on their own territory, and military supplies were not stingy and have begun to be transported here.
In the Asakura garrison shogunate, Asakura Zongdi sat in the main seat, with Asakura Jingjing below him.
Asakura Jingjing did not dare not to come, and the Ono people were excited because of Asakura Sotechi's promise that the Kaga territory gained from this battle would be secured by the Ono people.
If Asakura Keijing cannot be of one mind with the Ono people, she, the Ono County Sheriff, will either be ignored or die an untimely death in the future.
In desperation, I could only face the angry look in my sister's eyes and come to the front of the battle to obey orders. Doing these two things is not human.
Asakura Sodi didn't care. With her status, she didn't care about Asakura Jingjing's little thoughts.
After fighting for the Asakura family all his life and fighting for decades, there is nothing he can't see through.
Even if Asakura Yoshikage and Asakura Kageyoshi's sisters turned against each other in the future and drew swords against each other, she wouldn't find it strange.
This is the Wu family, where there are only eternal interests, and family ties are nothing.
But Jing Ji is different. She is a lonely old woman, and her only concern in her life is her adopted daughter.
Everything she does now is for her not to die in this increasingly chaotic world.
When Asakura Kageki entered the shogunate, Asakura Sodi couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth and looked at her lovingly.
Then she looked behind her at Dao Shengmeng, who was taller than an ordinary person, with a flash of appreciation in her eyes.
This Shiba family's warrior princess has an extraordinary bearing and dazzling appearance.
The two concubines saluted her and Asakura Jingjing, and the two exchanged a few words before getting down to business.
After Daosheng bowed fiercely, he took out the general's imperial decree and said.
"My lord Gongfang has ordered me to lead a team to Vietnam to protect the shogunate's mission. I sincerely ask Duke Zongdi for your convenience."
Asakura Soudi nodded.
"How many people did you bring?"
"One hundred and seventy Ji warriors, all equipped with two horses."
Asakura Sondi raised his eyebrows.
The young man Shiba Yiyin is really powerful. Even if he is not nearby, he can attract so many people to his family.
The emperor is skillful and his retainers are loyal.
You know, the Shiba family only has a territory of 200,000 shi, and according to the traditional mobilization strength of the Wu family, it is 20 reserve troops.
Based on the algorithm of one reserve team equipped with forty or fifty warriors, it is equivalent to pulling out four reserve teams of warriors. They must all be elites who are skilled in bow and horse.
Not to mention that the supplies consumed by the thousands of miles of rescue were at least ten times greater, and with the two-horse configuration, the family's wealth was probably wiped out.
Being able to allow the retainers to organize such a powerful Ji Samurai Regiment to support Yuezhong, it seems that the status of the retainer is very stable and his methods are not bad.
she said.
"I will give you five days of military supplies, and give you a message for me and Duke Qianxin.
I have given enough of the favors he asked for, and the Hokurikudo Ichigo clan should have no interest in causing trouble for him these days."
Dao Shengmeng didn't know what the secret was between his master and Zongdi Gong, so he lowered his head and let out a cheer.
On the side, Asakura Jingjing's face was a little distorted, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Asakura family in Ichigani City. Asakura Sodi said that he would not shy away from talking about such things even to outsiders. What does this mean?
Is Zongdi Gong so optimistic about Sibo Yiyin?
It is determined that his future is limitless, and he will be able to protect that lucky little girl Asakura Kageki?
When we talk to each other in person, is this deliberately revealing to me?
Asakura Jingjing was torn in her heart, should she tell her sister about this?
If so.
Asakura Yoshikage will inevitably suppress Asakura Kageki with all his strength after Asakura Sotechi's death. She is the villain who spreads the news behind the scenes. She is hated by Asakura Kageki and also offends Shiba Kenshin.
If she didn't tell her, she would be betraying her sister who gave her Ono County, and the trust between the sisters would be gone.
How to choose?
Asakura Zongdi noticed her hesitation and sneered in his heart. The two sisters of the Asakura family were still too young and they could test out the depth in just a few words.
As long as Asakura Kagekage has his own little thoughts, Asakura Yoshikage can't cause anything to happen, and Asakura Kageki's situation will be much better in the future.
In the final analysis, Asakura Yoshikage is too naive and thinks that sisterhood is worth relying on.
How can the Wu family have so many emotions? From the moment Asakura Kejing became Ono County Sheriff, she and the family governor were no longer on the same page.
The Ono family is her bargaining chip, and the Asakura family in Ono County is her foundation. The importance of Asakura Yoshikage, her sister, must be backed up.
Putting aside the scandalous things about the Asakura family, Shima Katsuki was very fond of Asakura Sotechi's cheerfulness, and he was worthy of being the leader of the Asakura family.
Just as she was about to salute and say goodbye, Asakura Mune's sharp eyes saw a piece of something she was carefully protecting, wrapped in silk, and carefully tied in a visible place in front of her.
"What is this?"
Shima Sheng paused suddenly and said truthfully.
"This is the sword given to me by Lord Gongfang."
"What?"x3
The three Asakura concubines in the shogunate were all astonished. Asakura Sotechi and Asakura Kejing could not sit still. They stood up and looked in front of Shima Katsuo with awe on their faces.
There are hundreds of thousands of samurai families in the world, and not all of them may have been beholden to the Kawachi Genji. But if you narrow the scope to the middle and upper class warriors, it must be related.
It has nothing to do with Kawachi Genji, but you are still considered a mid-to-high-level martial artist?
The Wu family did not promote filial piety and integrity, nor did they hold imperial examinations. Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes, so they are all hereditary descendants.
My ancestors have never been with the martial arts heroes, so they are not qualified to stand in the ranks of middle- and high-level martial arts families.
Therefore, an edict can be issued, which is enough to make the Asakura family's three concubines unable to sit still, even with the sword issued by the general's imperial edict.
Asakura Sotetsu had heard that Ashikaga Yoshiteru loved Shiba Yoshigan, but he never expected that the general would do this.
After thinking about it again, it seemed logical.
The Ashikaga family now needs the support of the Shiba family, and Yoshigan Shiba is a man. It is a great deal for the Ashikaga family to marry him and serve as the imperial court.
To put it bluntly, even if Shiba Yoshie is dead, the dead imperial office may be more useful than the living one.
But she still shook her head and sighed for Sibo Yiyin's luck.
The Ashikaga family had their own plans, but this sword was really even more powerful for Yoshigan Shiba, who was determined to open up Kanto.
In this way, she could safely entrust Asakura Kageki to Mr. Kenshin.
Asakura Kageki and Asakura Kagekage didn't see as far as she did, but they were also shocked by Yu Jian.
This is a legendary royal object. Only its name is heard, but its shape is not seen.
Asakura Kageki resisted the urge to see her true appearance and remained silent. Asakura Kageki's heart was filled with turmoil.
She figured it out, and she would not tell her sister about the close connection between the Shiba family and the Tsuruga Asakura family.
I glanced at Asakura Kageki and decided that I would not add insult to injury in the future, and could even help him out and make a good relationship.
Asakura Sotechi silently observed Asakura Kage's transformation. She used her relationship with the Shiba family to intimidate Asakura Kage, and finally achieved her goal when Yuken appeared.
As long as Yoshihiro Shiba's business idea in Hokurikudo comes true, Tsuruga Port will receive huge benefits, enough for Tsuruga people to firmly stand on Keiki's side.
The Ono people watched, and the Tsuruga people supported him. Asakura Yoshikage, the fifth-generation family governor, could not hurt Kageki no matter what.
Shimakatsu tightened the sword around his body tightly and asked Soutei Chaokura.
"How are you going to break through Kaga?"
"My family has reached an agreement with Master Kenjo of Honganji Temple to allow our team to cross the border."
Asakura Sodai was a little surprised, the energy of the Shiba family was beyond her expectation.
Didn't Yoshigan Shiba enter Taoism at Kofukuji Temple? Is that a lineage of the Shingon sect? How did he get related to the Ichiko sect?
she asked again.
"You traveled thousands of miles from Nankon to Echigo and left your hometown. Don't you have any complaints?"
Dao Shengmeng took a closer look at her and saw that her face was serious, indicating that she was genuinely confused rather than trying to stir up trouble, so he replied resolutely.
"My lord has been kind to me for saving my family. He promoted me to me at a very young age. Dao Shengmeng should repay me with death. I will not let him die."
Asakura Soudi nodded.
"You understand the righteousness well, which is admirable, but after all, the Wu family values inheritance and cares about the continuation of the family.
How can you ensure that your subordinates can fight thousands of miles away and still be united as one?"
Asakura Sodi has been leading troops for decades, and he has already learned everything about people and things.
Dao Shengmeng must be loyal, so the Shiba family would entrust so many elites to her to take them to Vietnam for rescue.
But the Wu family is selfish by nature, can all the Ji warriors under her command be as righteous as she is, without any regrets?
I'm afraid not necessarily.
Dao Shengmeng understood what Zong Digong meant. In fact, she had been uneasy for a long time.
But in this rush to rescue the Lord, I couldn't think about the changes in the military's morale and people's hearts.
