different warring states of japan

Chapter 1444 Who is not a mess

The gazes of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, Miyoshi Yasunaga, and Shinohara Nagabo all focused on Ataka Nobuyasu at the same time.

Nobuyasu Anzai said calmly.

"The Genlai people are good at using iron cannons, which is good for city defense. With their help, it is difficult for Hequan Country to make any progress for a while. I have already ordered the attack to stop.

Hosokawa Motochang was also terrified by the front of our army, and temporarily did not have the courage to go north to harass him, so please rest assured.

Even if she really dares to come, with my Awaji people guarding the pass, she will not be allowed to succeed. "

Nobuyasu Anzhai couldn't help sighing in his words.

When Sanhao and Four Sisters teamed up in Shangluo, Sanhao Changqing also distributed a lot of coins and hired Zahezhong to fight against Genlaizhong.

Zahezhong followed Shihe Yicun to Yamato Kingdom, and Genlaizhong went north to Hequan Country to cooperate with Anzhai Dongyasu to attack Izumi Hosokawa's house.

The Awaji country stone is [-] high, and the Izumi country stone is [-] high. The mobilization power of the two sides is very different.

If it weren't for the support of the people with roots, no matter how powerful Toyakushi Anzhai was, he would not have been able to sweep Izumi country in a short time, and almost wiped out Izumi Hosokawa's family.

But this time, Gen Laizhong stood in the opponent's camp.Even though the Izumi Hosokawa family has been terrified by the Miyoshi family, Ataka Nobuyasu still can't do what his mother did in sweeping Izumi country.

In the final analysis, the strategic level of Miyoshi Yoshitsuji is too poor, far inferior to that of Miyoshi Changqing back then.Allies, reinforcements, and mercenaries are all on the other side, so what's the point?

That is to say, Shinohara Nagabo has his own careful thoughts in mind, so he will fight with all his strength, hoping to raise his status and power through the war.

Regardless of the contrast between the old and the new in Anzhai Xinyasu's heart, what she said at this time made Miyoshi Yasunaga both shocked and angry, but Miyoshi Yasunaga's words were too absolute before, so it is not good to say anything against it now.

Shinohara Nagabo glanced at Miyoshi Yasunaga with a livid face, and bewitched Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"As far as I know, this time when Shiba's army was dispatched, the person who came to rescue Mibuchi Haruyuki was not Tsudaden himself, but his general Maeda Yoshitoshi, this is a golden opportunity.

Jin Dadian had defeated our army several times, and even His Highness Miyoshi Yoshiko and His Highness Shihe Yicun died in his hands, and His Highness Miyoshi Changqing was also helpless.

The entire army of our army respected and feared Jinduodian. When the retainers heard that Jinduodian returned, they got soft feet, and their fear went deep into the bone marrow.

Jin Duodian did not go to battle, and the frontline soldiers still had the courage to fight.As long as you can defeat Shiba's army, your prestige will definitely increase.

Not only can you help the retainers get rid of Sporophobia, but also let the nearby samurai know that Miyoshi's family is still female, and your martial bravery is not inferior to Jintaden.

Governor, I am not refusing to negotiate with the Shiba family, but for the future of the Miyoshi family, we must fight the Shiba family.

What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it on the negotiating table.Wu family Mu Qiang, if we blindly seek perfection, it will only make the shogunate think that we are weak and can be bullied, and even worse.

Only by winning the battle can the Miyoshi family have a way out, and we have the capital to negotiate terms with the shogunate.

The minister is willing to fight to the death for Miyoshi's family, and I implore the governor of the family to learn from him! "

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was overwhelmed with emotion, and was already persuaded by Shinohara Nagabo.

Her biggest heart knot is that she has the courage of her mother Shiheyi, but she was defeated several times in the battle, unable to display her military talents, and the loser was very unconvinced.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu always hoped to have the opportunity to prove himself, but the reality was to slap her on the cheek again and again.

Shinohara Changfang was right. Only by defeating Shiba's army can he prove that he is better than his adoptive mother Miyoshi Changqing, and his mother Shihe Yicun is excellent, so that he can secure the position of Miyoshi's family governor.

With Shiba Yoshigin away, Miyoshi Hime Takeshi had the courage to fight the Shiba army led by Maeda Masaki. This is really a good opportunity.

The Miyoshi family is in awe of Shiba Yoshigin, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu himself also respects and admires the Ashikaga military god very much.

Asking her to go to war with Yoshihiro Shiba made her feel apprehensive as well.But this time it wasn't Shiba Yoshigin who came here, it was Maeda Masaki, so why didn't he give it a shot?

As long as he wins, it will be announced that the Miyoshi family has defeated the Shiba family. Although it is a trick to avoid Jinda Temple and take advantage of his popularity, it will be of great benefit to boosting Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's prestige.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu finally made up his mind, she said in a deep voice.

"Master Shinohara, what are your thoughts on this battle?"

Seeing Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's dignified and firm eyes, Shinohara Nagao's spirit was refreshed, she glanced at Miyoshi Yasunaga contemptuously, and said cautiously.

"Iimori Mountain City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a bad idea for us to take the initiative to attack the city. It is better to issue a letter of war and invite Maeda Yili to come down the mountain to join the battle.

The area around Jiubao Temple where our army is located is a plain and open area, which is a good battlefield for a joint battle. "

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu nodded.

In the land of North Hanoi, the north is the Yodo River, the south is the Yamato River, and the east is the Ikoma Mountains that separate Hanoi and Yamato. Iimori Mountain Castle is an important town built on the mountain.

Back then, Shiba Yoshigin captured Iimoriyama Castle by surprise attack, opened up the road to Hanoi Kingdom, and went to Yodo River to join the shogunate army to fight against Miyoshi Changqing's army.

After the war, Yoshihiro Shiba recommended Mibuchi Tohide to the shogunate as the guardian of Kitakanoi, and handed over the land of Kitakanoi and Iimoriyama Castle to the Mibuchi family.

Ruojiang City, where the Miyoshi family occupies, is located in the Bayo area at the junction of North and South Hanoi, not far to the northeast, in the area of ​​Jiubao Temple.

The Osaka Plain is the base area of ​​the Ichigo sect. Because the Ichigo sect cannot help marrying, nuns who become monks have the need to house their family members, so a residential area called Terauchicho appeared.

Terauchi towns can be found all over the Osaka Plain. The famous Terauchi towns include Tomitarin, Yao, Kubaoji, Kaizuka and so on.

The nuns in the temple are rich, and these temple towns are connected to the market. It is a plain living area where residential areas and commercial towns are integrated, rich and prosperous.

Since the Jiubao Temple chosen by Shinohara Changfang is not far from Wakae Castle, it is a little distance from Iimoriyama Castle, which is good for Miyoshi's family to wait for work with leisure.

Miyoshi Yoshitsuki asked.

"Will Maeda benefit agree?"

Nagao Shinohara laughed.

"The weather is getting colder now, and if the war drags on, it will be unfavorable to fight fiercely in winter.

Things in the shogunate are so volatile, and when the two armies are in a stalemate, who knows what will happen in the capital, and Jin Dadian will not be willing to procrastinate for a long time to make changes.

I think Maeda Masaki will definitely take over our challenge, send troops to Kuhoji Temple, and defeat us through a joint battle as soon as possible to secure the victory. "

Miyoshi continued to nod.

"Earlier, Tsudaden wrote a letter to invite me to meet Yodogawa.

Now that I have come, I will write to invite Maeda Mashida to visit Kubo Temple on behalf of Jintaden. I hope she will not disappoint me, let alone lose the reputation of Jintaden. "

Seeing that Yoshitsugu Miyoshi was about to write a letter to provoke Maeda Mitsuki, Shinohara Nagabo was more confident that Maeda Mitsuki would come, and smiled.

"The governor is wise."

The two talked like no one else, and Miyoshi Yasunaga, who was thrown aside, had an ugly expression on his face, and his eyes glanced at the indifferent Azaka Nobuyasu from time to time.

After finally surviving the military meeting, Miyoshi Yasunaga stopped An Zhai Xinkang outside, and angrily pulled her aside to talk.

"Hime Anzhai, what do you mean by that? Why do you go along with Nagao Shinohara? Don't you see her wolfish ambition?"

Faced with Miyoshi Yasunaga's accusation, Nobuyasu Ataka said not to be outdone.

"Master Sanhao Kangchang, did you make a mistake? I should be asking you, what do you mean?
Takada Yoshino-sama has already accepted our surrender on behalf of the Shiba family, why are you still racking your brains to help Miyoshi Yoshitsugu out?
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Shinohara Nagabou want to fight, so let them do it.

You are in Sakai Port, and I am in Izumi. As long as we act righteously together, the overall situation will be settled. What kind of waves can they make? "

Miyoshi Yasunaga was rendered speechless by Nobuyasu Ataka, and could only mutter while frowning.

"This this.."

Nobuyasu Anzai sneered.

"Master Miyoshi Kangda, I have to remind you that you should stop and not suffer from it.

I have been inspired by the Jinda Temple, and I have great righteousness in my heart, and I will stand on the side of the shogunate without hesitation, so I will never be half-hearted and worry about anything.

And you, you have to think carefully, which side are you on?Don't end up making trouble on both sides, why bother. "

Yasunaga Miyoshi was dumbfounded, and Toyasu Antaka smiled slightly, bowed to her, and walked straight past her without looking at her again.

Miyoshi Yasunaga stood alone for a long time, finally sighed and left sadly.

---

Before the war, the Miyoshi family has already seen a crack that must be defeated.

Miyoshi Yasunaga's kindness was misunderstood by Miyoshi Yoshinaga as weakness, Shinohara Nagabo was blinded by the huge war dividends, and Ataka Nobuyasu was determined to make this bowl of dinner.

The Miyoshi family, which once made the shogunate fearful, lost its former glory and became a mess.Although the emerging Spoel Group has all the advantages, it is also facing many internal problems.

Iimori Mountain City, the meeting hall.

Looking at the peaceful Maeda Yoshikazu on the main seat, Mibuchi Fujihide felt unhappy.

Faced with the threat of the Miyoshi family, Hosokawa Mototsuji and Mibuchi Haruhito, who were reminded by the Shiba family, no longer hesitated, deprived Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide of their right to speak at home, and personally directed the battle.

Leaving aside Mototsu Hosokawa, Haruto Mibuchi, who was the main target of Yoshitsugu Miyoshi's attack and who was in charge of defending Kitakanoi, was miserable these days.

Izumi Hosokawa's vassals in Beihanoi have long been in disarray because of the conflict between the two heirs.And because of Sanyuan Haru's mistakes, Ruojiang City, an important town in Hanoi, was easily taken by Miyoshi's family.

Mibuchi Fujihide, who was already emotional, learned that Shiba Yoshiyin did not come to the front line in person, but appointed Maeda Yili to take charge of the overall situation as the general of the anti-Miyoshi coalition forces, and felt even more dissatisfied.

Looking at Maeda Yoshikashi on the main seat, Mibuchi Fujihide was very unconvinced.An upstart from Owari, what right does she have to dictate to her?

Among the Ji warriors who participated in the military meeting, there was also Takamasa Hatakeyama who came to the meeting from Nanhanoi by way of Yamato.

In Mibuchi Fujihide's view, even if he, the guardian of Kitagawachi, is not qualified to be the general, the shogunate should be in charge of the commander-in-chief Hatakeyama Takamasa.

As for Maeda Yili, what qualifications does she have to show off in front of the nobles of the shogunate?
She is not the only one who has this thought, even Haruto Mibuchi and Takamasa Hatakeyama's expressions are a little unnatural at this moment.

Haruyumi Mibuchi originally thought that Shiba Yoshigin must be here this time, and she could really feel at ease with this Ashikaga military god sitting in charge.

Although Maeda Masayoshi is a titan of the Shiba family, but compared to Shiba Yoshigin, who made Miyoshi's family fearful, the gap is not a star and a half.

Hatakeyama Takamasa's thoughts were more pure. She made a detour to come to Iimoriyama Castle in order to lick Shiba Yoshigin. Who knew that it was Maeda Masato who made the decision here.

She is willing to be Shibo Yiyin's loyal dog, because Shibo Yiyin is the top of the famous family regardless of status or ability.

Even if Hatakeyama Takamasaki was in charge of the shogunate, it would not be a shame to be Shiba Yoshiyin's dog.But Maeda benefit, what is she?
Several people secretly thought about it, but Maeda Yili didn't bother to worry about them.

The lord said he wants her to be the chief general, so she must treat him well and live up to the lord's expectations.

As for the descendants of these famous families attached to the Shiba family, apart from the huge ancestral name, which one is more powerful in fighting?Which is reliable?

They looked down on Maeda Yili, and Maeda Yili looked down on them!
Holding the letter of challenge brought by the envoy of the Miyoshi family in his hand, Maeda Mashiro asked.

"Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sent a letter inviting me to fight at Jiubao Temple, what do you think?"

Without waiting for others to respond, Mibuchi Fujihide spoke first.

"This is absolutely unacceptable!
Fansheng mountain city is the most fortified city in Beihanoi, guarded by the mountain, it is extremely dangerous.

Miyoshi's army has invaded Beihanoi for more than a month, and the offensive has reached the end of its force. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is unwilling to take the initiative to attack the city, so he hopes that we will give up the geographical advantage and go down the mountain to join the battle.

We must not fall for her tricks! "

Maeda Masayoshi patted the gauntlet and said.

"Your Majesty wrote to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu before, asking her to meet Yodogawa.

In this letter of war, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also mentioned the matter of hunting, if we turn a blind eye to it, I am afraid that we will lose the prestige of the king, which is not appropriate. "

Mibuchi Haruka said.

"In that case, why don't you invite Jin Daden to come here, which is exactly what Miyoshi Yoshitsugu wanted. I will hunt Yodogawa, and let her be convinced."

Maeda Masayoshi looked at Haruhito Mibuchi, this old guy was really annoying.But she happens to be a family friend of the Shiba family, and she once had a favor with Yoshihiro Shiba, so it's really not easy for Maeda Yoshito to reprimand her face to face.

Shiba Yoshigin had already designated Maeda Mashiro as the general of the anti-Miyoshi coalition forces, but the Mibuchi mother and daughter showed a relentless look.

The daughter looked down on Maeda Yoshinobu, and the mother hoped that Yoshihiro Shiba would come in person, as if the Shiba family owed a lot to the Mibuchi family in their previous life, how much face does this family have?

Just when Maeda Yili was annoyed and didn't know how to refute Haruto Sanbuchi, one of the warriors sitting at the bottom of the conference hall walked out, bowed to the ground, and said.

"I think that Master Sanyuan's words are wrong!
Miyoshi's family tore up the agreement and landed in Xikinji without authorization, which made the shogunate furious, so they invited out of Jinda Hall to unite with all parties to expel Miyoshi.

Your lords are the pillars of the shogunate, and several samurai families in the west are already gearing up and looking forward to it, just waiting for your lords to raise their troops to the west and punish the three good thieves together.

If we eagerly invite Jin Duodian to make decisions because of a word from the enemy, wouldn't we be ridiculed by the world as cowards!
I implore the general to send troops to Jiubao Temple and fight to the end with those three good rebels. I would like to be the vanguard, and I will die soon! "

Hatakeyama Takamasa looked at Takeshi Nahime, seeing her wearing a blue kimono, he was very unfamiliar, and asked.

"Who are you? Which family do you belong to?"

Warrior Na Ji said with his head proudly raised.

"My lord, Yuya, is the representative of the Westward Student Army."

Hatakeyama Takamasa was taken aback.

"Westward Student Army?"

Maeda benefit explained.

"They are all students from Kanto who came to Japan to study in Shiba. When they heard about Miyoshi's evil deeds, they were all filled with righteous indignation and asked Jin Dadian to allow them to participate in this expedition."

Hatakeyama Takamasa immediately understood that they were the children who fled from the Kanto.

Since ancient times, the Kanto and Kansai samurai families have looked down upon each other, and Shiba Yoshiyin's sponsorship for studying abroad in the eyes of the recent samurai families is a charity.

A group of young Ji warriors from the Kanto who were about to starve to death fled famine in the name of studying and came to Jinsibo to eat, commonly known as begging.
