Rokkaku Yoshiken doesn't care who the Ashikaga family sends. Even if they send a pig, as long as they stand clearly on the side of the Rokkaku family, it will be convenient for the Rokkaku family to annex the entire Omi country.
But Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't take the bait, and even the Rokkaku family didn't get a pig.
Although Ashikaga Shogun's authority has been mixed with praise among senior samurai, he is the common master of the world after all, and low-level Hime samurai are still respected by the servants in the countryside.
As long as they have the support of the general, the newly captured territory can be pacified with much less effort, and even the fools in the countryside can be fooled.
The name is not justified, Rokkaku Yoshiken is looking forward to the position of guardian of Omi, and wants to restore the glory of the Sasaki family and rule the entire Omi.
The alliance between the two families is still in place. Since the Ashikaga family is not kind in the first place, Rokkaku Yoshihide is not afraid of using underhanded methods. For this reason, killing a legitimate son of Shiba is nothing. As long as it is profitable, killing an Ashikaga shogun is not out of the question.
"Go ahead and ask the Otani family, the servant of Otani Village, to send troops to accompany the Spo family master to fight as the Spo family's military strength for this battle."
Rokkaku Yixian rolled his eyes and said to his daughter again.
"The Otani family... is the Otani who only has one seriously ill family governor left and is on the verge of extermination?"
Rokkaku Yoshiharu thought about it again and again, and finally found this family of people in his mind.
Speaking of the Otani family, they are also an old martial arts family near Guanyin Temple City. Many family members have died in wars in these generations. In this generation, there is only an only daughter left.
Poor, this only daughter has some strange disease. She can't see the wind, her skin is itchy and ulcerated, and she hides in the house with her head wrapped all day long. It is said that she is dying, and the Rokkaku family is just waiting for her to die and take over the territory.
"Master Gongfang has asked the young master of the Shiba family to fight. How can there be no men and horses accompanying him? I, Rokkaku Yoshihide, am deeply grateful for the favor of the shogunate and would like to send my general... Well, what is the name of the governor of the Otani family?"
"Otani Yoshitsugi."
"I would like to send my general Otani Yoshitsugi and his troops to close the military situation for the Shiba family. I will send this message to the Ashikaga family. After Otani Yoshitsugi and the master of the Shiba family reunite, do whatever you want.
."
Mother, this is to clear away the suspicion of the Rokkaku family and throw away an abandoned son. Rokkaku Yoshiharu nodded in agreement, resigned and went to work.
Rokkaku Yoshiken looked at the map of Omi Kingdom hanging on the wall and thought about the details of this battle. This battle was her first battle as the governor of the house. She could win but not lose, so she had to be extremely careful.
At Mibuchi Residence in Kyoto, Yoshigan couldn't put it down while holding the Ashikaga White Flag.
After Haru Mibuchi cried to the shogunate, the Imperial Palace issued a white flag within a few days. It seemed that the Shiba family still had some respect among the Ashikaga family.
Yiyin thought happily.
This Ashikaga White Flag, also known as the imperial flag, is a square white flag with the Ashikaga family's two-letter flag embroidered on it.
Compared with long flags such as horse seals and formation flags, they are smaller, but they are easy to carry out of the formation and can also be hung on the horse seal formation flags in a row.
Once the imperial flag is given, it can be used for life and will not be taken back unless a serious crime of treason is committed, but it cannot be passed down to future generations.
The only use for future generations is to hang it at home, point to the battle scars and arrow holes on the flag, tell the story of the ancestors' brilliance, and remember the glorious past.
With this white flag, as long as Yoshigan does not start a war with the Muromachi shogunate, he will conquer Fuchen on behalf of the general. The samurai who are enemies of him will first weaken the three principles without fighting.
If it weren't for the fact that Yoshigami was a man, Ashikaga Yoshiteru would never have given him the white flag. The power given was too great for the samurai family.
Seeing Yi Gin holding the white flag like a child, Mibuchi Haru who stood beside him smiled kindly.
"Chier, these are all your things. Don't take them out to look at someday. Put them down for now. I have something to tell you."
"Yes, aunt."
This shout of aunt Yiyin was done willingly, and it was so sweet and so sweet that it was shameless. If a man acts cute, what does it matter to a woman?
"You kid."
Mibuchi Haru's face was full of smiles. She was a beautiful woman who still had charm, but now she looked even more radiant.
"I was worried about you going to Omi this time, so I called my second daughter back. She has been smart since she was a child, has strong martial arts skills, and looks brave and brave..."
At first, Yiyin was still nodding. He was praising his daughter. What does it have to do with me going to Omi?
"Oh, look at my brain."
Pretending to be talking too much, Mibuchi Haru gave her own head a light blow, and without leaving any trace, she ended her remarks in favor of the second daughter.
"This is not because I am afraid that it will be dangerous for you to go to Omi. I asked my second daughter to take a Rikiji warrior with you so that you can take care of her when the time comes."
Yiyin's eyes lit up, there is such a good thing. Just as Haru Mibuchi said, her second daughter is a good player, and she will definitely not bring someone with weak skills into the war.
Then coupled with Maeda's interests, he has three powerful Hime Samurai at his disposal, which is pretty good.
"I heard that the Rokkaku family has also sent a troop to pick you up at the border of Yamashiro Kingdom as a side force for this battle."
"This is great, thank you, aunt. I will live up to my aunt's trust and will not fall into the shogunate's prestige."
Yiyin was overjoyed, thinking that Sanyuan had adjusted the men and horses given by the Rokkaku family. Now that Samurai Ji had military strength, he could go into battle and try to make some meritorious deeds.
"You kid just likes to talk nonsense. Be careful on the road and come back early after the war. Your aunt has good things waiting for you."
Mibuchi Haru didn't know that Yoshiyin was already determined to make a meritorious service. Seeing the excitement on his face, he couldn't help but shake his head. This young man just loves to talk nonsense.
I thought that if my second daughter fell in love with Yoshigami, she would go to her sister Hosokawa Motosune to finalize the marriage when she came back, and I felt very happy.
Speaking of the second daughter, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide set off the next day after receiving the letter. This small mountain country had already arrived in Kyoto.
Hosokawa Fujitaka did not immediately go back to meet his biological mother, but he found some fair-weather friends in Beijing and asked about Shiba Yoshigan.
"The direct son of the Sibo family? Which family? I have no impression?"
"Yes, is this a famous person in Kyoto?"
"You are stupid. Fujitaka, I know this. Their family is not qualified to participate in the shogunate's affairs, so I don't know."
"Bah, your Matsuda family is amazing. Do you dare to compare your family background with Fujitaka?"
Before a group of dandy girls from Kyoto could say anything, they started to quarrel. Hosokawa Fujitaka touched his forehead and smiled sheepishly at Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide just sat elegantly on the side, smiling and listening to the quarrels of the dandies, as if he was hearing something interesting. This city alone was completely different from these descendants of famous families in Kyoto.
When they were tired from arguing, Hosokawa Fujitaka coughed lightly and pushed them down.
The Hosokawa family was the top noble family in the shogunate, and even the branch of the Izumi Hosokawa family was close to the general. These women did not have the guts to make Hosokawa Fujitaka angry.
"A few days ago, a son-in-law of the Shiba clan came to Owari Countryside, and he caused a joke."
When the woman from the Matsuda family saw Hosokawa Fujitaka looking at her, she quickly told her what she knew.
"I didn't follow the rules and went to various houses. I went directly to the general's door to ask for an audience and donate money to the Owari Oda family. On that day, Mr. Kokata happened to be gathering to discuss matters. My family was also sitting there and looked at the whole thing."
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded. It was an open secret of the shogunate to donate money to apply for jobs. This was nothing. It was just that the young master of the Shiba family was too stupid.
General, don't you want to save face? There are rules for everything, and I'm afraid it won't do any good to be so reckless.
"The general was furious and did not say whether he would keep the donation or not. The young master became anxious and quarreled with the general on the spot. He even took off his clothes to show the general, which frightened all the ministers."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's frown deepened. This unruly and arrogant man was simply unreasonable. If any woman marries him in the future, it will bring trouble to the family.
Hearing a chuckle behind him, he turned around and glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi, and saw that she was looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He suddenly realized, my mother.
