different warring states of japan

Chapter 1161 Panicked Miyoshi

The Shangluo coalition army was so powerful that it swept across the entire Nanjin River in dozens of days.

Shiba Yoshiyin was drinking and watching arrows under the city of Guanyin Temple, and the situation changed suddenly, like a god-man.The defenders in the city were so frightened that they surrendered without a fight, and the mother and daughter of Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiharu fled to Ishibe City, Koga County in embarrassment.

So far, the Liujiao retainers from all over the place have no more fighting spirit, and surrendered one after another.Oda Nobunaga took the opportunity to send troops to reorganize the southern Omi area, and the coalition forces temporarily stopped.

The spring plowing has not yet ended, and Nanjinjiang has changed hands.In Kyoto, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who was still hesitating whether to send troops, was dumbfounded.At this moment, even if she wanted to send troops to rescue her, she couldn't be saved.

Before the Shangluo Allied Forces entered the Shancheng Kingdom, commotion had already begun in Kyoto.

Facing the rapidly deteriorating situation, Ise Zhenjiao became anxious, his fake illness became a real illness, and he could no longer manage affairs while lying at home.

Seeing that Miyoshi's family was about to leave, the vassals left Kyoto one after another and returned to their own territories.Prepare to welcome Master Wang and lead the way for Shangluo on the imperial platform.

Miyoshi's army has been away from the territory for several months since it went to Luoyang last fall.I don't know how to do spring plowing at home, and I feel homesick in the army.

Shinohara Nagabou, the leader of the Awa people, proposed to plunder Kyoto and return to Shikoku, but was opposed by the Miyoshi Trio and Matsunaga Hideo.

There is no way for the Miyoshi trio to retreat, and the Settsu lair is taken over by the main family, Shiba Yoshiyin will definitely ask the Miyoshi family to hand over their heads.Sooner or later, this walk will be a death, it is better to stay and fight.

Matsunaga Hide objected because he was afraid that Miyoshi Yoshitsumatsu would send troops to plunder Kyoto and destroy this prosperous central city of the shogunate.

She still expects that when she betrays the water, Jingjing can become her vote, how can she just sit idly by?
---

In the southern suburbs of Kyoto, Fushimi Castle.

In the conference hall of the residence hall, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's face was livid, watching Miyoshi Changyi and Shinohara Nagabura at loggerheads, arguing endlessly.

Miyoshi Yoshitsuji originally thought that after successfully going to Luo, his position as the governor of the family would be stabilized.Unexpectedly, an accident of rebellion and regicide completely pushed Miyoshi's family into a desperate situation.

As the governor of Miyoshi's family who caused all this to happen, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's prestige became more and more sluggish.The important ministers were arguing in front of her, completely ignoring her feelings.

Awazhong, headed by Shinohara Nagabo, wanted to grab something and run away, and was unwilling to confront the Shangluo coalition forces head-on.

Back then, Shinohara Nagabo could clearly see how badly Settsu and Awa were beaten by Shiba Yoshin in Kokoji Village.

Miyoshi and the trio had no choice but to resist stubbornly, but Shinohara Changfang didn't care.Even if the shogunate in Kyoto is established, it will not be able to take revenge on the Awa country on Shikoku Island. What is she afraid of?
Although the Miyoshi family claimed to occupy Shikoku Island, the Tosa and Iyo samurai families were only suppressed by force.Because of the decline of the Miyoshi family, the samurai families of the two countries are already ready to move.

The core strength that the Miyoshi family can rely on is the Sanuki and Awa samurai families, as well as the Awaji people who are dominated by the navy.

The Miyoshi, Awa, and Sanuki members of Miyoshi's main family don't want to go to war.

Especially the Sanuki people, who followed Shihe Yicun into the Yamato Kingdom, were beaten by Yiyin and wiped out, and even the leader Shihe Yicun was beheaded.

Through negotiations after the war, the Sanuki people were able to return to China by luck, and the fear of Shiba Yoshiyin went deep into the bone marrow.

Miyoshi Yoshinori is the daughter of Shihe Yicun. After she became Miyoshi's family governor, Sanuki people are her most important supporters.

Awa Country is the place where the Miyoshi family started and the foundation lies.Shinohara Nagabo opposed the war on behalf of Awazhong, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was also very embarrassed.

Sanuki and Awa are both the core samurai group of the Miyoshi family, and their opposition has a great impact, making the Miyoshi trio full of despair.

No one expected that the Shangluo Allied Forces would go to war during the spring plowing season, let alone that Liujiao Yizhi would be so careless.

Seeing the Rokkaku family being beaten to the ground, Miyoshi's vassals seemed to recall how Yoshinshi Shiba beat them to the ground.

Morale is low, and the army is afraid of fighting. What's the point?

That is to say, Miyoshi and the three of them had nowhere to go, so they forced Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to prevent her from running away.Otherwise, the Miyoshi army has already begun to retreat.

Matsunaga Hideo watched coldly, while Miyoshi Changyi and Shinohara Changfang were fighting with each other.She didn't care if Miyoshi's family left or not, Miyoshi and the three of them survived, she wanted to protect the Matsunaga family.

Miyoshi's family left as soon as they wanted to, but Shinohara Nagabo proposed to rob Kyoto to subsidize the deficit, which was unbearable.

The territory of Matsunaga Hideo is Yodo Castle, which is stuck next to the Yodogawa Waterway between Settsu and Yamashiro.

If she does not turn her back, the shogunate will retaliate in the future, and the first target of attacking Miyoshi's family will be her Diancheng.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu obviously doesn't want to stay in the capital anymore, if she can sell Miyoshi and the trio today, she will be able to see death in Diancheng someday.

This family governor is far less wise than Miyoshi Changqing. He doesn't care about the capital or the shogunate at all.She is a rich man from the four kingdoms, clinging to her rotten possessions, she is short-sighted!

In order not to follow in the footsteps of the Miyoshi trio and be betrayed in the future, Matsunaga Hideo decided to betray Miyoshi Yoshitsugu first.

Therefore, she must keep the capital from being plundered, so as not to tear herself apart with the shogunate, even if she seeks refuge in the past in the future, it will not end well.

Song Yongxiu knew in his heart that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu already had the heart to retreat.It's just because I made a promise to the three good people, and I don't want to break my promise and hurt my prestige, so I don't speak.

At this time, as long as someone handed Miyoshi Yoshitsugu a suitable step, she would happily step down and run away.

Song Yongxiu rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said.

"My lords are all important ministers in the family. This is a discussion in front of the governor's seat. Please save some dignity for Miyoshi's family. How can you be so noisy?"

Miyoshi Changyi and Shinohara Changfang were spitting on each other's faces, and they were about to fight.At this time, hearing Matsunaga Hideo's sarcastic remarks, the two hummed at the same time, bowing and apologizing to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

Miyoshi Changyi's fondness for Song Yongxiu at the beginning has completely dissipated after Shangluo was stabbed this time.

But at this time, the three of Miyoshi were isolated and helpless, and only Matsunaga Hideo in Miyoshi's family objected to Shinohara's long house, so he had to give her a little face.

Miyoshi Changyi felt miserable, how did the three of them muddle through this, and have been reduced to want to see Matsu Yongxiu's face?

Compared to Miyoshi Changyi, Shinohara Nagabu didn't care, she teased with disdain.

"There is no room for concessions in family and country affairs, so naturally we have to argue clearly. If Mr. Matsunaga has a good opinion, I will listen to it."

Song Yongxiu smiled slightly, scolding his father in his heart.High opinion?My old lady's best opinion is that you fucking get out early, don't bring disaster to Kyoto!
She said to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"Your Highness, the army has been away for a long time, and the army's impetuous mind cannot be shaken.

If the army is allowed to plunder the capital, the people below will be jealous and unwilling to obey the military order, so what should we do? "

What Matsunaga Hide said was reasonable, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu nodded silently.

The ancient army is not the citizen soldiers of modern society, and military discipline is not armed by systems and ideology, and its violence is like a wild beast.It is more appropriate to describe bandits as combs and soldiers as grates.

These beasts are usually kept in the army, relying on military law to control them, and the severe punishment of beheading at every turn makes it difficult for them to be prohibited by law.

Putting them in Kyoto is like putting a pack of hungry wolves into a sheepfold.By then, who cares about military discipline?It is impossible to restore order if we don't grab enough books and don't grass enough books.

The Shangluo Allied Forces are coming fiercely, and they have already reached the edge of Shancheng Kingdom.At this time, if the army is dispersed, what if the enemy takes the opportunity to fight over?Reorganizing the military is not a matter of a day or two.

Nagao Shinohara couldn't help snorting, wanting to refute a few words.But after thinking about it, she still didn't speak.

Everyone knows what kind of virtue the army is.The hungry wolves released would not return to their nests until they were full. If they wanted to forcefully restore order, the only way to enforce military discipline was with iron and blood.

As for the disciplined looting of the city, it's all fucking looting, and there is still a p discipline?Every family will only hate themselves for robbing less and others robbing more.Don't expect them to be courteous and courteous to each other.

Matsunaga's rhetoric frustrated Shinohara Nagabo's idea of ​​robbing Kyoto, and made Miyoshi Changyi's face look a little better.

However, Matsunaga Hideo's next words made Miyoshi Changyi's complexion change drastically.

Song Yongxiu said.

"Your Highness, Ise Sadako is seriously ill, and the vassals of Kyoto are full of hostility towards us, so we can no longer rely on them for the supply of the army.

If we want to face off against the Royal Tower without defeat, we must first ensure that the army is supplied outside without any problems.

I heard that Hosokawa Fujitaka is in the Shangluo Allied Forces, following the army to Shangluo, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family will definitely make some moves.

Our army relies on the Yodo River water transport for supplies, and the Katsuryuji Castle of the Izumi Hosokawa family and the Beihanoi territory of the Mibuchi family are all threatening our food roads.

What if we are cut off by them when we are fighting in the front?
Therefore, I asked the family governor to move to Akutagawa City, and I asked myself to guard Yodo City to protect the supply line first. "

The Miyoshi trio headed by Miyoshi Changyi glared at Matsunaga Hide, this bastard was more insidious than Shinohara Nagabo.

Shinohara Changfang said clearly that he wanted to leave. Although everyone was arguing fiercely, at least they were still within the scope of the military discussion, expressing their opinions.

However, Matsunaga Hide played the bottom line, directly providing a high-sounding excuse for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to retreat.

The Yodo River runs through the Settsu country and connects to the south of Kyoto, which is the logistics supply line of the Miyoshi family.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Miyoshi's family to complete this visit to Luo.The Hosokawa family in Izumi and the Sanbuchi family in North Hanoi are all staring at the south of the Yodo River.

In Yamashiro, there are many shogunate territories, and the Izumi Hosokawa family's Katsuryuji Castle is even near Yodo Castle, and they have been watching it all the time.

Ashikaga Yoshiki turned around and went to Higashijin to hit the Rokkaku family's idea. It's not that she was stupid and forgot the threat of Miyoshi's family.It's because Xijin is almost the passage to enter Kyoto, and there are layers of defenses, which are foolproof.

But it was this foolproof thing that went wrong.

Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family watched coldly, Ise Sadakyo hinted that the vassals remained silent, Akechi Mitsuhide abandoned Fushimi Castle, and Ninagawa evacuated Nijo Castle without authorization.

This series of accidents made Miyoshi's family's journey to Luoyang feel like a no-man's land.Before Ashikaga Yoshiki could react, he was besieged in Nijo Castle and suffered a brutal rebellion against the king.

That's why Yoshigin said that Ashikaga Yoshiki died unjustly.

In this series of accidents, Ashikaga Yoshiki will not die if anyone finds out with conscience.It's a pity that the Wu family's conscience has long been fed to the dog.

But now, the situation is different.

Shibo Yiyin contacted several strong families in Shangluo, and the powerful Liujiao family was like paper, and was smashed by the coalition forces.

The front of the Shangluo coalition army is about to enter the Shancheng Kingdom.The various families of the shogunate who had committed disgraceful acts during the Kyoto Incident must save themselves.

Not to mention threats from other directions, the most terrible trouble for the Miyoshi family is behind them.

The Hosokawa and Mibuchi families have a combined territory of more than [-] shi. Once the two of them start fighting, there will be problems with the Yodogawa supply line.

It is a taboo for military strategists to have food roads cut off. Matsu Yongxiu used this excuse to give Miyoshi a step up so that she could leave Kyoto logically, and no one had anything to say.

Although the Miyoshi trio were angry, this excuse was almost perfect. They could no longer use morality to kidnap Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and force her to stay in Kyoto.

According to Hideo Matsunaga, only part of the troops were withdrawn, and they retreated to Yodo Castle in Yamashiro and Akutagawa Castle in Settsu to protect the Yodo River supply line from threats.

But it's really a retreat, who knows if Miyoshi Yoshitsugu will retreat all the way to Sakai Port and Shikoku Island?
In troubled times, it is rare to see a fool like Shiba Yoshiyin who is particular about his life and keeps his promises.Breaking one's word is the normal state of the Wu family.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was a little confused at first, but when the three of Miyoshi's faces showed anger, she realized that Matsu Nagashihide was helping herself out!
She glanced at Song Yongxiu with admiration, and said approvingly.

"Matsunaga-sama is right.

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.The threat to the Yodo River waterway is our top priority.Otherwise, the army would not be able to confront the Royal Tower with peace of mind. "

Miyoshi Changyi looked at Miyoshi Yoshitsugu hesitantly, she opened her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't know what to say.

Miyoshi Zhengyasu frowned at her, as the eldest sister of the Miyoshi trio, how could Miyoshi Changyi hesitate at this moment?This hesitation cost all three of them their lives.

After thinking about it carefully, Miyoshi Masayasu bowed and said.

"Sir Matsunaga is right. The road to food is very important. But you can't just think about eating in war, and the pursuit of victory is more important.

Dare to ask, according to Matsunaga-sama's intention, how should the domestic arrangements be made in Yamashiro? "

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu will definitely run away, and Miyoshi Masayasu does not expect to keep this incompetent family governor.But how much the Sanhao family's army has withdrawn, and whether the battle will be fought or not, will have to be understood by the death of the Sanhao family.

Miyoshi Changyi came to his senses, nodded and said.

"That's right, I'd like to ask Mr. Matsunaga for advice."

She was talking about giving advice, staring at Song Yongxiu with her eyes, wishing she could stab her to death with a knife.

Song Yongxiu said calmly.

"Our army deploys defenses along the Yodo River waterway, advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, echoing each other from a distance.

Please ask Miyoshi Changyi and Miyoshi Masayasu to be stationed in Fushimi Castle and guard the southern town of Kyoto.

Please Iwanari Tomotsu-sama follow me back to Yodo Castle, take care of the Hosokawa family's Katsuryuji Castle, and guard the gates to and from the Yamashiro Kingdom.

Please retreat to Akutagawa Castle in Settsu Kingdom with Lord Nagabou Shinohara, beware of the Mibuchi family in Kitakawachi, and be ready to enter Yamashiro Kingdom at any time to support the front line.

Is my strategy, Mr. Miyoshi Changyi, satisfied? "
