Chapter eight hundred and seventy-ninth three good invasion again
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Saito Rizo and Fujibayashi Anzu, knowing that they were worried.
Saito Toshizo accepted Saito Yoshiryu's will and brought Saito Ryuuki to seek refuge. Fujibayashi Anzu's mother was killed by a monster sent by Momochi Sattafu, so she counted on Mitsuhide Akechi to avenge her.
What these two people fear most is that Mitsuhide Akechi will lose power and their hopes will be disappointed, so they worry about gains and losses.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide can use them, he must prevent them from knowing his trump card for killing the general, which may cause complications.
She sneered.
"Maeda's interests are nothing more than the courage of an ordinary man, and Takada Haruno is a businessman who is very willing to spend every penny. How do they want to attack me with their empty heads? They really don't know how to live or die.
I have my own way of dealing with it, so you don’t have to worry."
The tension on Saito Rizo's face eased, and Fujibayashi An's kneeling posture also relaxed slightly.
After stabilizing the two of them, Akechi Mitsuhide said.
"How is the situation over there at the Rokkaku family?"
Fujibayashi Xing said.
“Since Maeda Yoshida-sama relaxed the border defenses, the Koga clan’s attitude towards the Rokkaku retainers has become increasingly tough, causing strong dissatisfaction among the Rokkaku family.
Under pressure from the retainers to borrow the Rokkaku style, Rokkaku Yoshiharu had no choice but to issue orders to the two leaders of the Koga clan in Mochizuki Mountain.
Starting this autumn at the latest, the two families must pay the relevant military and food services in accordance with the customs of the six-corner retainers.
The people within the Koga clan are panicking, worried that with this start, their own family will be targeted sooner or later. However, there is no movement from the two families in Mochizuki Mountain for the time being.
As for the Rokkaku family, the Kamao family is holding back. Kenhide Kamao is still trying to persuade all parties to calm down, hoping that they will pay attention to the new threat from Kitaise.
The retainers groups headed by the Gotou family and the Shinto family began to connect with each other. They are preparing to mobilize the army after the autumn harvest and go south to force the two families in Mochizuki Mountain to supply military supplies."
Saito Rizo sighed.
"Once the pressure from Maeda Yoshida is gone, the Koga people will not give in so easily.
Koka County is mountainous and forested, and is the home ground of Koka-ryu ninjas. When the shogunate attacked the Rokkaku family, all the governors of the Rokkaku family fled to Koka County and were protected by these ninjas.
It is for this reason that the Koga clan has a semi-independent status beyond the Rokkaku retainers group, and it is also worthy of being looked down upon by successive Rokkaku clan governors.
No one has the unlucky time to drink water and stuff his teeth. Koka County is the mountain forest refuge left to him by the Rokkaku family governor.
It’s not that easy for the Rokkaku Retainers Group to subdue the Koga Fifty-three Families.”
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"Of course it's not that easy, because the general already knows the news.
As soon as there was any movement from the Rokkaku family, the two families in Mochizuki Mountain had already asked the general for help through Wada Weimasa.
Rokkaku Yoshiji can't protect them, so they can't sit still and wait for death, so they naturally have to find another way out.
The general knew about this, but he was very happy. The generals of the past generations failed to subdue the Rokkaku family, which had a lot to do with the fact that the governor of the Rokkaku family was able to flee to Koka County for refuge.
Now, because Rokkaku Yoshiharu could not withstand the pressure from the retainers, he abandoned the Koga clan. This gave the general an excellent opportunity to win over the Koga clan and cut off the Rokkaku family's retreat.
Our strong-willed public servant is already preparing to mobilize more Ashikaga warriors to head to Sakamoto Castle to intimidate the Minami Omi Rokkaku territory.
The Rokkaku Retainers Group is going to be in trouble. To the east is the invasion of the Oda family of Kita Ise, to the south is the estranged Koka clan, and to the west is the peeping army of the Ashikaga Shogun.
I wonder if the Asai family in the north will have any ideas. Her family has just been recuperating for a while, so she shouldn't be interested in taking a dip in this muddy water, right?"
Saito Rizo didn't quite understand and asked.
"My lord, there is internal strife in the Rokkaku family. The general will further subdue the overlord of Minami Omi and his power will become even greater.
If there is no action from the Sanhao family, wouldn't we really be building bridges and paving the way for the general to expand his power even more?"
Saito Rizo never understood how Mitsuhide Akechi could believe that the Miyoshi family would invade the shogunate again.
Last time, the Miyoshi and the four sisters were all here, and the Miyoshi family was at its peak, but they failed to go to Luo and capture Kyoto.
Now that the Miyoshi family is in constant trouble at home and abroad, it is still unreasonable to dare to fight to the death against the increasingly powerful Ashikaga Shogun?
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.
"The Sanhao family will definitely come.
The female protagonist of Sanhao Changqing's first generation, plans and then takes action, and once she takes action, the world will collapse.
It's a pity that I met my master, otherwise I would have taken over the shogunate and tortured the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru to death.
It's such a pity that there are three good sisters and four.
Nowadays, the Miyoshi family is in civil strife in Shiki, and the samurai families of Tosa Iyu and the two countries are disobedient to orders. In recent times, the Miyoshi family and the three people have also become self-reliant and seem to be separated from each other.
If it hadn't been for the chaos in Tanbo, which contained Miyoshi and the other three people, I'm afraid Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, the new family governor, would have had a more difficult time.
But it was because of this that the newly appointed family governor was eager to prove himself.
I gave Honda Masanobu so much information, and she gradually gained Matsunaga's trust and introduced her to Miyoshi Yoshitsugi.
Now if Honda Masanobu wants to get rid of my control, both of them must be willing.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Matsunaga Michichi are both young people who are overwhelmed by the halo of their mothers and are most eager to prove themselves.
Honda Masanobu used my information to plan a big plan for them, but now they are in deep trouble.
She can either give up my information and become a useless person who has lost value in Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's eyes. Or she can continue to use my information to let them discover the great opportunity that Kyoto is empty of.
Matsu Nagasaki's mother, Matsunaga Hide, is the lord of Yodo Castle. This place is located in the mountain castle. Along the Yodo River, you can go down to see Toba in one day and open the southern gate of Kyoto.
Honda Masanobu could not bear the temptation of a high official and a generous salary, while Miyoshi Yoshitsugi could not suppress his desire to surpass his adoptive mother Miyoshi Chokei and achieve success in Luo.
Matsunaga may be a little simpler, just wanting to prove to her mother that she can take charge of her own business.
These young people who can't control their desires are much easier to deal with than those old foxes who are too suspicious.
I'm really looking forward to Matsunaga's expression after knowing that his daughter secretly went to Luo without telling him.
She has always wanted to play both sides of the aisle between Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Miyoshi's trio. Then she would use her special status as a liaison with the shogunate to become a loyal minister who would stand firm in Miyoshi's family.
Interesting. I want to see if she, a loyal minister who is surrounded by beautiful people, can still do it?"
Saito Rizo frowned.
"Matsuhisa Nagahide's Yodo Castle has insufficient troops, and the Miyoshi family's military strength is far away in Awa Country in Shikoku. Even if they know that Kyoto is empty, they have no route to invade?
What's more, the Ashikama Hui clan is not in Kyoto, and there is the Hosokawa Mibuchi territory in the western Konki to protect the frontier, and there is the Hokkaido and Iga Shiba family territories in the southern Konki.
The powerful local faction in the shogunate will not watch the Miyoshi family wreak havoc in Kyoto and intimidate the general."
The two pillars of the shogunate, the shogunate, were cut to death by the shogun himself, unable to stop the Miyoshi family from wreaking havoc.
But the local powerful factions are still there, and the Hosokawa, Mibuchi and Shibahatayama families will not react to the chaos in Kyoto.
