different warring states of japan

Chapter 1150

The situation of Liujiao's family is just as Miyoshi Changyi expected.Hearing that tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in Sawa Mountain City, Yoshiharu Rokaku was frightened out of his wits.

Sawayama Castle is an important town in the central part of the Omi Kingdom. No matter if you attack from the south to the north or from the north to the south, you cannot bypass this city.

The soldiers of the Shangluo coalition army pointed directly at the near river, Liujiao Yizhi was like a light on his back, and he was in a state of panic all day long.

Therefore, when the three members of Sanhao arrived at Guanyin Temple City, they hoped that the Sanhao and Liujiao families could join hands to defeat the enemy. This matter was taken seriously by Liujiao Yizhi.

After negotiating with the Miyoshi trio, Liujiao Yizhi called a group of retainers to Guanyin Temple City to discuss the matter.

At this time, it was the new year, and all the places had already started to prepare for spring plowing, and the retainers were quite critical of the lord's call.

The Oda family's Nobi Plain is fertile and fertile for thousands of miles, with millions of stones high, which is enough to support Oda Nobunaga's anti-seasonal battle against the season, and there is no shortage of supplies.

Minami Omi's Liujiao family's territory is also a rich place, but it's a pity that the years are not good.Over the past few years, foreign wars have resulted in the loss of soldiers and generals, and his family has already been wiped out, so spring plowing is extremely important.

But in the face of the great enemy, even if the retainers were unwilling, they could only arrange the spring plowing of the territory and go to Guanyin Temple City to participate in the evaluation.

---

Guanyin Temple City, Tianshou Pavilion.

The atmosphere of the deliberation was quite dull, Yoshiharu Rokkaku frowned tightly on the main seat, and glanced at the important ministers sitting there.

Finally, she fixed her gaze on Gamo Hyun-soo and asked.

"Master Gamo, what do you think of Miyoshi's willingness to join forces with my family?"

Kamo Hyun-soo was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Rokkaku Yoshiharu to call her name.She is in a rather embarrassing situation now, and she doesn't want to say anything.

Her daughter, Gamo Shigo, is now serving under Shiba Yoshigin's command. It is said that she has achieved the same writing, and she is the head of the close confidants.

The Gamo family married Kwan Shinmori of Kita Ise and Kobe Komori, and had already abandoned the Rokkaku family and surrendered to the Oda family.

There are a lot of gossip in Liujiao's family, and everyone thinks that her position is unstable and unreliable.

Pusheng Xianxiu felt wronged.

Back then, the Rokkaku family had fierce internal fighting, and in order to keep the heir of the Gamo clan, she had no choice but to send her to Shiba Yoshihiro as a minor surname.

Who would have thought that the child would be so promising, not relying on the family's help, but relying on his own ability, to climb to the position of Shiba Yoshiyin's guard leader, which made her both gratified and embarrassed.

The departure of the two sisters-in-law of Kita Ise was due to the stupidity of Rokkaku Yoshiharu.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu is busy with internal fighting, and has no time to take into account the rescue appeals of the samurai affiliated to the Northern Ise Land, allowing the Oda family to attack the Northern Ise Land.

Oda Nobunaga beat the Kita Ise samurai to nowhere, of course he had to surrender and find another way to go to the new master. What's wrong with that?

Now it's good, the lord's incompetence has become his own fault, Pu Sheng Xianxiu is also heartbroken to be afraid of himself as a loyal minister.

The Liujiao family has been in turmoil in the past few years, and she has always stood by the main family's side, helping Liujiao Yixian and Yizhi's mother and daughter to stabilize the situation and mediate disputes.

But what about the host?But because of various reasons, he became more and more wary of her. She was thankless, and it was really hard to be a loyal minister.

Seeing Pusheng Xianxiu was stunned and silent, Liujiao Yizhi asked a question.

"Does Gamo-sama have any ideas?"

Pusheng Xianxiu couldn't help laughing bitterly, what can she say?The lord has a grudge, and everything she says will be misinterpreted.That being the case, why should she open her mouth to offer suggestions, and she would fall into the shoes of others for nothing.

Pu Sheng Xianxiu's embarrassment fell into the eyes of others, and he had other thoughts.

Goto Koji gloated over her misfortune. She was the daughter of Kentoyo Goto. Because her mother and sister were killed by Rokkaku Yoshiharu, she became the governor of the Goto family.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu was afraid of Goto Kentoyo's prestige and strength, and murdered her innocently.Unexpectedly, this action caused panic and commotion among the retainers, and Liujiao Yixian Yizhi's mother and daughter were driven out of Guanyin Temple City.

After Goto Takaharu inherited the position of family governor, he has always maintained a tough stance.As a result, under the mediation of Kamo Hyun-soo, the Liujia vassal group still chose to welcome back Liujia mother and daughter.

Although the main family and the vassals set a Liujiao style, they made concessions to the vassals.But the Goto family suffered heavy losses. Without the respected Goto Xianfeng, the family business declined.

For Rokkaku Yoshiharu and Kamo Kenhide, Goto Takaharu didn't have a good impression of them. Seeing Gamo Kenhide in a difficult situation, she was of course happy to see a joke.

On the other side, Shinto Kenmori had a different feeling.

Shinto Kenmori is an important minister of the Rokkaku family who is as famous as Goto Kentoyo. At the beginning, she and Kamo Kenhide were on the side of the main family.

It's just that Rokkaku Yoshihide defeated Norada Hezhan, retired behind the scenes, and manipulated his daughter Rokkaku Yoshiharu to continue in power.

Shinto Kenmori was disgusted with the master's hypocrisy, and began to alienate the master's family and keep a distance.

Sure enough, the Northern Expedition led by Yoshiken Rokkaku failed again. She was forced by Kento Goto to abdicate power, and Yoshiharu Rokkaku became the real family governor.

In the conflict between Rokkaku Yoshiharu and Goto Kentoyo, Shinto Kenmori also remained neutral, unlike Gamo Kenhide who worried about his family, but was deeply involved in it.

The results of it?
The neutral Jindo Kenmori is respected by all parties and is invincible.However, Hyun-soo Gamo, who sincerely planned for the master, was disheartened, and today he was even more embarrassed by Yoshiharu Rokkaku's interrogation.

At this time, Shinto Kenmori didn't feel any complacency in his heart, but instead felt a kind of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

The hearts of the Liujiao family have been dissipated, the head of the family is not benevolent, and the retainers are not righteous.It is really chilling to see a small number of loyal ministers being harshly criticized.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu didn't know that the Rokkaku retainers were undercurrents and the family business was in danger of falling apart. She was still asking Kamo Hyun-hide who was speechless.

Pusheng Xianxiu was forced to help, and finally decided to offer advice with loyalty, she said.

"Your Highness, Miyoshi's family went to Luo to kill the king, this is a stain that cannot be washed away.

We should stay away from Miyoshi's family at this time and not be implicated.If we form an alliance with Miyoshi's family, it will actually prove my family's crime of participating in the Great Rebellion.

In my opinion, it is better to send envoys to Sawa Mountain City to meet the Imperial Palace.

It is an act of righteousness for Luo on the imperial platform to avenge the general.We can only follow the trend, and we cannot stop the rebel army, which will cause disaster for nothing. "

Rokkaku Yoshiharu narrowed his eyes and said.

"According to what you said, I should go to United Oda's house, Asai's house?

The Oda family attacked Kita Ise and took away my vassal, and the Asai family was even more at odds with my Rokkaku family.to beg them?Isn't it like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?
Do I still want to offer my family property with both hands, and ask them to be merciful and give me a few stones of land to preserve my family name? "

Rokkaku Yoshiharu became more and more angry, and in the end he almost pointed at Hyun Soo Gamo and scolded her, as if he had already expected her to eat inside and out.

Pu Sheng Xianxiu smiled wryly, and kowtowed to the ground, she already knew this would be the result.

Because his daughter and brother-in-law were in Shiba Yoshigin's camp, Rokkaku Yoshiharu decided from the beginning that she was unreliable.That being the case, why ask her countermeasures?Isn't this deliberately disgusting?
And her suggestions are indeed old-fashioned words for seeking the country.

Miyoshi's family killed General Ashikaga, and the crime of regicide and treason has made her family stink.All the samurai wish to cut off from Miyoshi's family so as not to be implicated by her family.

Fortunately, Rokkaku Yoshiharu received the Miyoshi trio who killed Ashikaga Yoshiki, and wanted to join hands with the Miyoshi family to fight Shiba Yoshigin.

Kamo Kenhide really wanted to lift Rokkaku Yoshiharu's head to see if there was any brain inside.

Sibo Yiyin Shangluo is the cause of justice, and everyone expects it.He is brave and good at fighting. Back then, when he was short of major generals, he was able to beat Liujiao Sanhao and the two families.

Now that he has righteousness in his hands and has tens of thousands of female soldiers in Shangluo, the Liujiao family still wants to be an enemy of him?Among the hexagonal vassals, who dares to confront Ashikaga Army God head-on?
Pu Sheng Xianxiu sighed, still trying to persuade, said.

"Your Highness, the host of Shangluo is the Imperial Palace, not the Oda family, nor the Asai family.

Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa can raise the flag for righteousness, and so can we.

Even if the Oda family and the Asai family want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, we just need to take strict precautions and ask the Imperial Household to uphold justice. "

Liujiao Yizhi sneered.

"Nobunaga Oda mobilized [-] million koku, and Nagamasa Asai mobilized [-] koku. They spent so much manpower and material resources just to help the imperial court go to Luo?

They came to my Liujiao family, Shangluo was just an excuse for them!Going to Luo this time is a conspiracy to attack Guo with a fake way! "

Pu Sheng Xianxiu smiled wryly.

"The imperial platform has assembled various families, mobilized over two million stones, and tens of thousands of soldiers, we cannot fight against him.

That being the case, it is better to participate in it and become a part of Shangluo.Even if there are some losses, it is always less than the cost of confrontation.

As long as my family is cautious, with the justice and strictness of the Royal Platform, we will definitely balance all parties.

The shogunate has always used the method of checks and balances to adjudicate disputes among samurai families all over the world.Letting the Asai family and the Oda family grow bigger is not good for the shogunate or the Imperial Palace.

As long as we respond to the call to action and sincerely serve the public, I believe the Imperial Palace will understand our difficulties. "

Liujiao Yizhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed a fierce look, and pointed at Pusheng Xianxiu and cursed.

"It can be said that you have spoken your heart!

You grow up other people's ambitions and destroy my family's prestige, don't you already have the intention of surrendering?Anyway, your daughter is working next to the Imperial Palace, why don't you ask her to reserve a place for you first? "

Pu Sheng Xianxiu bowed his head in silence, gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation.Her heart is desolate, it is obvious that the lord is forcing her to give advice, but her earnest words have become evidence of infidelity.

Shinto Kenmori couldn't bear to see it, so he stepped out and bowed.

"Your Highness, the Odaisho's wisdom and martial arts cannot be manipulated by the Oda Asai family.

I think Mr. Gamo is right. There is no loss if we send people to Sawayama Castle to test the attitude of the Imperial Palace. "

Seeing Shinto Kenmori come forward to ease, Rokkaku Yoshiharu took a deep breath and said.

"Okay, it's okay to try.

Mr. Gamo, since you came up with this idea, please go to Sawayama Castle once to express my respect to the Royal Tower. "

Pu Sheng Xianxiu's heart felt cold, and he looked up to see Liu Jiao Yizhi's cold face.

She went to see the Imperial Palace?It was suspected of being run on in the first place, but if I go there, it will be even more unclear when I come back.

Pusheng Xianxiu knew that Liujiao Yizhi already had an idea in his heart, and he must join forces with Miyoshi.Let her go to Sawa Yamashiro purely to disgust her, and buy some time by the way.

Not only her, but the other samurai present could also see that Liujiao Yizhi's determination to resist the rebels was determined.

Pu Sheng Xianxiu was silent for a while, kowtowed to the ground and said.

"As ordered."

From this moment on, Pusheng Xianxiu really began to plan for himself, and no longer had illusions about Liujiao Yizhi.

At the same time, Goto Takaji sneered secretly, and Shinto Kenmori watched coldly.The most loyal minister of the retainer group, Liujiao Yizhi can't stand it, what else can the others say?

The hearts of the Liujiao family were completely scattered.

---

After the deliberation was over, Liujiao Yizhi hurried back to the inner room, where her mother Liujiao Yixian was waiting for her.

Seeing her coming in, Liujiao Yixian hurriedly asked.

"How's it going?"

Liujiao Yizhi nodded.

"Just as my mother expected, Gamo Hyun-soo did intend to let me join the rebel army."

Liujiao Yixian sighed.

"She is also kind, but we have no way to serve the Imperial Palace.

Since you succumbed to the retainer group and set the six-corner style, the hearts of the family have been scattered.

Goto Takaji hated you to the bone, Shinto Kenmori cleaned up the door, only Gamo Kenhide remembered the kindness of the master and was somewhat loyal.It's a pity that you can't grasp this loyalty.

Her daughter Gamo's village is serving under Shiba Yoshigin, and her brother-in-law has taken refuge in Oda Nobunaga, so how can we use her with peace of mind?
If we vote for the Imperial Palace, with the current situation in the family, Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa can use coercion and lure to guide the scattered retainers to join them.

You can't control the retainer group, and leading rebels into the country is tantamount to leading wolves into the house.If you want to keep your family business, the only way to survive is to reject the rebels at the imperial platform and fight against them. "

Liujiao Yixian slowly explained the truth to his daughter, and the grudge between mother and daughter gradually dissipated with the decline of Liujiao's family.

The last time there was a commotion in Guanyin Temple, the two fled together, and they had already reconciled.The family business is almost gone, is there any unspeakable grievance between mother and daughter?Let's keep the family business first.

Yoshiharu Rokkaku nodded, knowing that he was in a difficult situation.It's not that she doesn't want to listen to Gamo Hyun-soo's advice, it's just that the Liujiao family doesn't have that condition now.

The establishment of Liujiao's purpose has greatly increased the constraints on Liujia Yizhi's exercise of power. Without the consent of the retainer group, she can't do anything.

At this time, I would rather push Shiba Yoshiyin to the opposite side than let the rebels in.

The two sides are in a hostile relationship, and the retainer group can still be used to fight wars.If the two sides are allied forces, if someone visits to make connections, I am afraid that the Liujiao vassal group will abandon the old master and find another high branch.

As a last resort, they had no choice but to belong to both ends of the battlefield, forcing the Liujiao vassal group to abandon other thoughts.

Liujiao Yizhi sighed.

"Mother, can we really stop the army of the Imperial Palace?"

Liujiao Yizhi is afraid, and Liujiao Yixian is also uncertain.

Shiba Yoshigin's strength, Rokkaku Yoshiken had experienced it personally in the Norada battle, and his team was directly swept away by a wave, and he was even stabbed.

She forced herself to be calm and said.

"Miyoshi's family stone is as high as a million stones, and my family also has a mobilization force of half a million stones, and it is also a defensive battle. Our strength is comparable to that of the rebel army.

As long as you hold your ground and defend the city, the rebel army will come from afar, and it won't take long to attack.Tens of thousands of soldiers, eating horse chews is not a small number.

When we stick to our defenses and defeat the morale of the rebel army, each family in the rebel army has different ideas. Over time, internal conflicts will inevitably arise.

This battle is not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, we will have a chance. "

Yoshiharu Rokagon nodded and said nothing.

Liujiao Yixian was rejected by the retainer group and was not allowed to attend the family deliberation.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu thought about it, but he still didn't tell his mother about sending him to Sawa Yamashiro.

In order to show her determination to fight against the Imperial Palace, she deliberately used Gamo Hyun-hide as a show to the retainers.The attitude during the review was too bad, and it seemed to be sulking on Kamo Hyun-soo.

It's not good to tell my mother clearly about this, lest I be nagged and make loyal ministers chill or something.

Rokkaku Yoshiharu thought about it, next time he would find a chance to appease Gamo Hyun-soo, and then settle the matter.
