Guo Xin was really capable, so he arranged for the four of them to board a merchant ship at night. That night, he knocked out the three girls and had a feast with Yi Yin in the cabin.
I don’t know if she did it on purpose or if she really lacked a cabin, so she just put four people into one cabin.
Maeda was already staring at Yi Gin like a hamster, and Guo Xin did not board the ship. But who knew that she would be able to enter the cabin that night, and the three girls would sleep soundly, and no one would wake up.
Seeing Guo Xin's excited look, Yiyin was also speechless. Is she so happy?
Well...it seems there is...
The next morning, the fruit core disappeared, and no smell was left in the cabin. If Yiyin hadn't known that he had squeezed everything out, he would have thought it was an erotic dream.
After resting for another day, we arrived at the north shore of Lake Biwa.
Among the twelve counties of Omi Kingdom, the Asai family occupies the three northern counties. Just listening to it makes you realize how miserable they have been suppressed by the Rokkaku family in recent years.
The Asai family is a retainer of the Kyogoku family. After the decline of the Kyogoku family, a figure emerged. She is also the mother of the current family governor Asai Hisamasa, Asai Ryomasa.
Ryomasa struggled all his life, knocked the Kyogoku family to the ground and stepped on it countless times, completely losing their vitality, and has been domineering in Kitaomi ever since.
After the death of Asai Ryomasa, her daughter Asai Hisamasa succeeded to the throne.
At this time, the Rokkaku family also had a figure, Rokkaku Sadayori. He had Asai on his head and kicked Miyoshi. He also got close to Ashikaga General, who had been suppressing the Rokkaku family. From then on, the Rokkaku family became prosperous.
Asai Hisamasa was continuously beaten by Rokkaku Sadayori, and his territory shrank to the area of Hokusan County.
If the Rokkaku family hadn't been wary of the Asai family's allies, the Echizen Asakura family, they might have been wiped out by this time.
The Asakura family is somewhat related to Shiba Yoshigan. The Asakura family is the acting official of the Shiba clan in Echizen country. Their official position is the same as that of the Oda family, and their experience is the same.
It's a pity that the two fertile territories of the Shiba clan were replaced by two acting officials. Time and fate.
The attitude of the Asakura family in Echizen is clear. It is okay for you Rokkaku Sadayori to suppress the Asai family. But if you intend to destroy the Asai family, sorry, I will be your opponent.
The Asakura family is an extension of Hokuriku to Konki, controlling the trade routes from Hokuriku to Konki, with huge benefits. The Asakura family is also very powerful and should not be underestimated.
Her family will not watch the Rokkaku family dominate Omi country. From now on, won't the trade routes be completely controlled by the Rokkaku family? Those who play monopoly are all bastards. The Asai family is weak, so it's okay. Death, no.
The Asakura family was eyeing him, so Rokkaku Sadayori had no choice but to compromise. The Asai family was nominally affiliated with the Rokkaku family and escaped the genocide.
Asai Hisamasa was a mediocre person who could just get by. In this way, Omi finally settled down. But now that Rokkaku Sadayori is dead, everything has changed again.
Rokkaku Sadayori's daughter Rokkaku Yoshiken succeeded to the throne. She was not satisfied with the nominal submission of the Asai family and needed some more benefits. For example, military and food services, such as tax revenue.
Anyway, I, Liujia Yixian, am making money.
On the other hand, Asai Nagamasa, the young master of the Asai family, has grown up. She has a proud temper and cannot tolerate her family being affiliated with the Rokkaku family.
The retainers of the Asai family who had long been dissatisfied with Asai Hisamasa's humiliation rallied around her and aspired to force Kumasa into the palace.
The two sides have completely different ideas. Isn't it just that the spring plowing is over and they are ready to start a war?
The commercial port where the four Yoshigan people landed is close to Akao Castle, which is the important town of Ika County, one of the three counties of Kitaomi.
Ika County and Asai County are the foundation of the Asai family. The relationship between the Akao family and the Asai family here is similar to the relationship between the Shiba family and the Ashikaga family.
The relationship between monarch and minister, composed of blood ties, is the most stable type of loyalty among warriors.
The lord of Akao Castle, Akao Kiyozuna, has been an important minister since his predecessor Asai Ryomasa. He has assisted two generations of lords. He has high prestige in the family and is also one of the leaders of the main war faction.
Yoshigan chose to land here on the recommendation of Hosokawa. It was because of Akao Kiyosuna's closeness to the Asai family that he could easily contact Asai Nagamasa.
Considering her militant position, she was also willing to use the attack on Yiyin to strengthen her family's willingness to fight against the Rokkaku family.
Spring plowing has ended, and in this slack time before the summer harvest, the Rokkaku family is sharpening their knives and preparing to attack the Asai family.
However, the Asai family was still hesitant about the governor and could not form a joint force. They were already weaker than their opponents and could not unite as one, so the important officials in the family were worried.
These days, Young Master Asai Nagamasa is in Akao City, discussing the increasingly critical situation with the main war faction.
On this day, the envoy outside the city urgently reported that someone had landed in Ixiang County with the Ashikaga White Flag and asked to enter Akao Castle to meet the city lord. The leader of the Hime Warriors in the commercial port did not dare to delay and hurriedly reported back.
In Akao Castle, there are not only the young master of the Asai family, Nagamasa, the castle lord Akao Kiyozuna, but also the lord of Sawayama Castle, Masaru Isono, who is on the front line and under the hexagonal soldiers.
The three of them were the leaders of the main war faction. They were discussing matters at this time. They looked at each other in confusion from behind.
The shogunate and the Rokkaku family are allies. If an envoy is sent here, there are still some guesses. What is the meaning of the imperial flag landing?
Although I don't know the authenticity, I still invited people here. I dared to pretend to be an imperial flag and cut him off with a knife. If there is anything else, I am also curious.
So, the four Yoshigan rode into Akao Castle and met three Rikihime warriors from the Asai family in the castle tower meeting hall.
Akao Kiyotsuna and Isogata Masaru were middle-aged women who served two generations of Asai family governors. They were both brave generals who went into battle to kill enemies. Naturally, they had outstanding figures, heroic looks, and sinister features.
Asai Nagamasa was fifteen just now, the same age as Yoshigan. The girl in Yuanfu last year had a hint of loli milk fragrance. It was cute to see her sitting upright and pretending to be majestic.
At this time, the girl was blinking her big eyes and looking at Yiyin in confusion. This group of four people was actually led by a young man, which was unheard of.
In this world, women are valued over men, and the Wu family regards men as goods to carry on the family line. Men's high status is only based on blood and does not leave the boudoir.
Yiyin entered the room and saw a childish girl sitting in the main seat, with a woman sitting on the left and right, and he suddenly understood.
"I am Yoshigan, the legitimate son of the Ashikaga Ichimen Shiba clan. May I ask who I am?"
"Kitaomiya Asai's young master Nagamasa."
Sure enough, Yoshigan took out the letter from Hosokawa Fujitaka and handed it to Asai Nagamasa.
"This is a letter written to you by Fujitaka, the young master of the Izumi Hosokawa family. It can prove my identity."
"Letter from Sister Fujitaka!"
Asai Nagamasa showed a happy expression.
Kyoto is the economic center of Japan, and it is also the cultural center.
In recent years, these wealthy families have a tradition of sending their juniors to Kyoto to be gilded, not only to learn culture, but also to make friends. Some of them have good connections and can become a big help in the future.
For example, Mibuchi Haruka, whom Shiba Yoshito befriended, gave the Shiba family a good friend to talk to in the shogunate. Another example is Asai Ryomasa's friendship with Asakura Soutei, who gave the Asai family an alliance with the Asakura family during the most difficult time.
When Asai Nagamasa was in Kyoto, his best handkerchief friend was Hosokawa Fujitaka. No, this was a great help to Yoshigan.
"May I ask, Mr. Shiba, why you came to the Asai family here?"
Asai Nagamasa asked while happily opening the letter.
"Yi Gin is bold and wants to borrow troops from the Asai family to attack the treacherous Rokkaku family!"
"ah?"
The three girls of the Asai family looked up in surprise. The letter in Nagamasa's hand fell to the ground without realizing it.
