Hai Beigang is a counselor himself, so naturally he is not easy to get rid of, so he retorted.
"Akaao-sama's statement is somewhat biased. I am only concerned about Shiba-sama's safety and do not mean any disrespect.
All the Rokkaku family wants is the Ashikaga White Flag in exchange for the shogunate's face. As for Lord Shiba himself, to be honest, it's not important.
Now besides staying at my Asai house, where else can Master Shiba go?"
Tsunachika Uboku is not worried at all about Yoshihiro Shiba turning his back and leaving. The Asai family needs the royal flag and Yoshihiro Shiba as a witness.
But the Rokkaku family did not. They had denied Rokkaku Yoshihide who attacked the envoy from the beginning, and now all they wanted was the imperial flag. With the imperial flag, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who had a decent reputation, could be persuaded to retreat by the shogunate, and would no longer hold on to him.
Step down.
As for Yoshihiro Shiba, the one who wants him dead the most is probably Yoshihide Rokkaku. In this case, Yoshihiro Shiba will leave the Asai family?
Looking for death?
"Kaibei-sama, ordinary men may be like you said. But this Shiba emperor raised the Ashikaga white flag and counterattacked the ambushed Hime samurai, beheading him five times.
How can you be sure that he will do what you said? The life and death of our Asai family depends on this battle, are you going to bet the survival of my Asai family on Shiba's fear of death?"
When Akao Kiyosuna spoke at this point, he was already speaking harshly. Even people as resourceful and eloquent as Tsunayaki Kaiboku and Sasaki Aguki would not be able to argue back.
Nothing is 100% certain in the world. If Yoshihiro Shiba is really not afraid of death and leaves, what will the Asai family do? Detain him or let him go?
This responsibility is too big, even if you commit seppuku, you can't get it back. Who can guarantee it?
Aguan Zadazheng was speechless when he met Haibei Tsuna, so he had no choice but to go on stage.
"What both adults said makes sense. However, our military strength is already weaker than that of the Rokkaku family. Every bit of military strength in this battle is an important combat force. We need to calculate the gains and losses when using it. How can we squeeze out some of it for Master Shiba?"
Independent control. Even if he only wants the people of the country, we will still be short of money for our own use."
Masaru Isono, who was listening in the audience, interrupted.
"There really is a suitable army."
The girls' eyes turned to her. Asai Nagamasa, who was already having a headache from the big bosses in the family, asked hurriedly.
"Where are the men and horses? Sir Isono, please tell me."
"The envoy from Zuohe Mountain City sent word that a group of people from Inugami County came to pledge their allegiance to the army."
Sawayama Castle is on the front line of the conflict between the two families. As the lord of the castle, Masaru Isono is busy with military affairs and holds discussions in Otani Castle. Envoys still come on horseback every day to deliver important messages.
"Inugami County? It has been occupied by the Rokkaku family for some time. It is rare that there is a loyal samurai family who remembers my Asai family."
Asai Nagamasa sighed. Her mother Asai Hisamasa was incompetent and was overthrown by Rokkaku Sadayori and thrown into Inugami County several years ago.
Now that the two sides are fighting again, the people of Inugami County are still willing to side with the Asai family, which has to make her a little touched.
"It should be that the Rokkaku family usually presses too hard, and the recruitment for this war is harsh. These people can't stand it anymore, so they come to the Asai family to speculate."
Haibei Tsuna is a veteran in the world, and he can see these things clearly at a glance and explain them clearly.
Isono Yuanmao nodded, agreed with her judgment, and said.
"Master Haibei is right. The question now is how to arrange these people."
I understand the logic. But people are already here, should they rush back?
The people of Inugami County are all old samurai families from Kitaomi. At first, the Asai family could not defeat the Rokkaku family and lost their territory, so the people had no choice but to surrender.
Now that the two families are fighting again, the Kitaomi family is still willing to unite to fight the bastards in the south.
The people of Inugami County have this awareness, and you, the Asai family, must also express a clear attitude. Otherwise, the retainers and people under your command are also from the Kitaomi samurai family, and morale will be unstable.
"Are there any spies from the Rokkaku family among them?"
"I have no idea."
As for Tsunachika Uboku's question, Masa Isono really couldn't answer it.
The people of the country are originally a complicated alliance of rural samurai families. They say that all of them are spies of the Rokkaku family, even if they beat Isono Yuan Masaru to death, they would not believe it.
The samurai family in Kitaomi are closely related, and those who are familiar with each other have already patted their chests to guarantee that there is no room for betrayal. However, there is no guarantee that one or two of them will not be bribed by the Rokkaku family.
There are so many shameless people these days, who can guarantee that.
Therefore, this military force coming from the enemy's territory is a hot potato. Use it, because you are afraid that the enemy may be involved. Don't use it, it will chill the hearts of the Kitanomi samurai.
"Isono-sama, do you mean to give the command of this army to Shiba-sama?"
Asai Nagamasa understood Isono Umasa's plan. Since this army was not easy to use, he might as well find a nook and corner place to keep it cold.
Giving Sibo Yiyin command authority is tantamount to tying him up with this army and throwing him in a corner.
It's all trouble. Let's just put it in a safe place together and wait until the battle is over.
"This is a way."
Both Tsunachika Kaiboku and Sadazaki Aguan think this method is feasible. Since Yoshihiro Shiba wants the command of an army of people, then give it to him.
Then arrange it in a safe place and wait for the end of the war. This is a compromise strategy acceptable to all parties.
The retainers reached a consensus, and Asai Nagamasa also agreed happily. The war was about to begin, and she had a lot to do.
As long as it's solved, send someone to notify Shiba Yoshigan. It's just that it will take some time to take over. We have to wait for Asai Nagamasa's main formation to move forward to the Sawayama Castle line.
Yoshigan was overjoyed when he received the news in his guest house and immediately found Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Already agreed? It was unexpectedly fast. I thought the Asai family would need to struggle for a while."
Akechi Mitsuhide was surprised by Asai Nagamasa's frankness and asked Yoshigan.
"How many people are there in this country? How many of them are Ji warriors? Where are they now?"
Yiyin was confused by the question and answered awkwardly.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask the envoy. I just heard that it can only be received at the front line of Zuohe Mountain Castle. I guess the troops are already on the front line."
"Something's wrong. How can the people of this country assemble faster than the master's family? One extra day is a share of money and food. Which family is not picking at the ropes and dragging them to the master's family to go on the road first, and then keep up with the pace."
After hearing what Akechi Mitsuhide said, Yoshihiro couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Is there any fraud involved?"
Akechi Mitsuhide thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Probably not. The Asai family is now in a weak position, and they are trying to unite all the forces that can be united. Even if they are unwilling to squeeze out the military strength, they will not deceive you and anger you for the sake of several people. It is not worth it."
Suddenly, Akechi Mitsuhide reacted.
"Could this army come from an enemy county? No wonder the Asai family is so happy to give troops."
Yiyin doesn't know why.
"Enemy county? Isn't this a joke that all the people from the Rokkaku County are coming to join the Asai family? Now that the Rokkaku family is strong, how can the people of the country abandon the strong and join the weak?"
Akechi Mitsuhide said.
"This is true on weekdays, but it's hard to tell this time. A few years ago, the Asai family lost a lot of land in Kitaomia, and the Rokkaku family occupied it not long ago. The Kitaomia and Minamimi samurai families have been fighting for hundreds of years, and their hatred is as deep as the sea.
"
"So, the people in these counties have been persecuted under the rule of the enemy and have suffered terribly. Why don't they just surrender to this war?"
Yiyin was also convinced.
The military strength is really falling from the sky. No wonder the Asai family is so generous. It turns out they are not from her family. It is so generous.
