different warring states of japan

Chapter 66
In Ryuji Castle, Yamashiro Kokatsu, Hosokawa Fujitaka received a letter from his biological mother Haruto Mibuchi in his mansion.

The letter urged her to go to Beijing.

The shogunate ordered Yoshigin, the son of the Shiba family, to go to Omi on behalf of the general to participate in the battle of the Rokkaku family against the Asai family.

She will accompany Shibo Yiyin's bodyguard, and the task is to protect Shibo Yiyin's safety.

In the letter, Mibuchi Haruhito faintly expressed his desire to marry Shiba Yoshigin, which made Hosokawa Fujitaka's delicate face wrinkle.

She was in the chess room of the mansion at this time, and an elegant beauty was sitting opposite, and the two had a forehand conversation.

"What? Are you in a bad mood?"

Seeing that Hosokawa Fujitaka was silent after reading the letter, Ji Wushi who was opposite said while playing with the chess pieces.

"Master Sanyuan is really... love to worry."

Although she has already returned to Hosokawa's family by adoption, her biological mother has always loved her very much, and sometimes it is quite a headache to make her own opinions, but this time the matter is a bit serious.

As a high-ranking samurai who came from the third leader of the shogunate, the marriage was destined to be a political marriage, but Mibuchi Haruhito made such a random decision without consulting the Hosokawa family, which would embarrass Hosokawa Fujitaka, and really did not treat himself as an outsider .

Mibuchi Haruyuki was born in the Izumi Hosokawa family, and the current head of the family, Hosokawa Moto, often has a sister relationship with her.

The two sisters are deeply in love, and because Hosokawa Moto often has no daughters under his knees, he adopts Haruhito's second daughter Fujitaka from the Mibuchi family to the Hosokawa family so that he can inherit the Izumi Hosokawa family.

The Hosokawa family is divided into two branches in Jinji, one is the Jingzhao Hosokawa family, Shikoku and Jinji have huge territories, and they are the direct descendants of the Hosokawa clan.

The other branch is the Izumi Hosokawa family, who have served the shogunate for generations, and are trusted by the general.

A few years ago, the Hosokawa family of Kyozhao had the idea of ​​competing with General Ashikaga. The governor of the family, Harumoto Hosokawa, led an army to Luo Jingdu several times to seize power.

As a result, General Guanling's strength was greatly damaged after the shopping. Hosokawa retainer Miyoshi Changqing rose up and seized the foundation of the Hosokawa family in Shikoku, and the Hosokawa Kyozhao family became the puppet of the Miyoshi family.

Over the years, the Ashikaga family has been continuously invaded by the Miyoshi family, and it was only after Rokkaku Sadayori sent troops to help that the Miyoshi family was forced to negotiate.

The final agreement made Ashikaga Yoshiki angry and helpless.Miyoshi's family became the head of the house, and Miyoshi Changqing was the royal companion of the Ashikaga shogunate.

The Hosokawa family lost all their wealth, only their titles remained.The face of the Ashikaga family is gone, and the enemy has become an important minister.

This royal companion has always been a position that only close relatives of the Ashikaga family can take up, and non-virtuous people are not enough to take it.

What is the difference between giving Miyoshi Changqing now and letting Ashikaga Yoshiki kneel down and call her mother.But the situation is stronger than people, there is nothing to do, first linger on.

Even this agreement didn't matter for a few years. After less than two years of signing, Liujiao was definitely dead.Miyoshi's family is ready to move, trying to make a comeback.

The Yamashiro country run by the Izumi Hosokawa family and several important cities in the Izumi country are the targets of the Miyoshi family's attack.

Just at the critical moment, a letter from Mibuchi Haruhito came, how could Hosokawa Fujitaka be happy.I guess in my heart I scolded my biological mother for not caring about the seriousness and not knowing the priorities.

"Master Sanyuan asked me to go back to the capital once, to accompany the son of the Sibo family to the near river for a show."

Hosokawa Fujitaka has been smart since he was a child, and he has seen things in Kyoto these days.She probably guessed the shogunate's thoughts in a few words from the biological mother, and couldn't help sneering, how could it be so simple.

Both the Liujiao family and the Asai family are powerful samurai families who have survived recent fierce battles, so how could they get along so well.

General Ashikaga wanted to show an ambiguous attitude, which might make him feel sick all over again.

Poor little man from the Shiba family, does he know what will happen to him?Men should take good care of their wives and teach their daughters at home, and women's affairs should be mixed.

"The Liujiao family is attacking the Asai family, and Lord Gongfang sent a son to go, is it because he wants to blur his attitude?"

Ji Takeshi, who was opposite Fujitaka Hosokawa, lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Isn't it? Now that Miyoshi's family is going to Luoyang, Mr. Gongfang doesn't want to make new enemies anymore."

Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a slightly teasing tone.

"In order to protect Mr. Shiba from accidents, Master Sanyuan ordered me to go to Beijing to go to guard him, and he also asked me to choose another warrior Ji to accompany him.

Mitsuhide, would you like to visit Omi with me? "

"Alright, just take a look at the recent changes in Omi, so as to avoid misjudgments in the future."

The woman sitting opposite Hosokawa Fujitaka is named Mitsuhide Akechi.

The Akechi family is a branch of the Toki family in the Mino country. After the decline of the Toki family, the Akechi family succumbed to Saito Dozo.This wise Mitsuhide girl Yingjie should have done something.

It's a pity that just after leaving the Saito family, Isshiki Yoshiryu rebelled, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who refused to surrender to the mother killer, was forced to go west.

Later, he met Hosokawa Fujitaka in Yamashiro Country, and the two met each other and became close friends.It's also a lot of fun to just live in Fujitaka Hosokawa's mansion temporarily and talk about current affairs all day long.

South Omi, Guanyin Temple City.

This city is the residence of the Liujiao family for several generations.The city is not far from the south bank of Lake Pipa. The war horses and pig iron from the Northland and the southern barbarians from the Western Kingdom all came from the north bank of Lake Pipa by trade route.

Rice, grain and oil from the Mino country in the east, and sword forgings from the Ise country in the southeast, were continuously transported from Kannonji Castle to the Yamashiro country in the west.

These trade routes are enough for the Jinjiang country to be rich in the world, not to mention the fertile land around Lake Piwa and abundant water sources. The entire Jinjiang country is more than [-] stone high.

The Omi country is also adjacent to the Yamashiro country, and Kyoto is under the nose.Once there is a change, you can go to Luojingdu to seize the world. No wonder the Ashikaga family wants to suppress the Liujiao family for generations.

The Kyogoku family, the minions of the Ashikaga family, has fallen, and the upstart Asai family has lost its vigor after the death of the ancestor Ryomasa Asai.

The current governor Asai Hisamasa has lost to the Rokkaku family many times. If it weren't for the support of the traditional allies Echizen Asakura, they would not be able to survive today.

Now the young head of the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa, is wise and decisive, and has gained a reputation and is supported by his retainers.If the Asai family is not completely subdued, and when Nagamasa comes to power, the Liujia family may not be able to suppress it as easily as it is now.

On the other hand, Liujiao Yixian has newly ascended the position of family governor.Since ancient times, there has been no peace in the upper ranks of the samurai family. In order to suppress powerful retainers and show their abilities.There has always been a battle.

Either externally or internally.The retainers of the Liujiao family are still united and loyal, so Yoshihide Liujiao's goal is naturally placed on the old enemy Asai's family.

The cunning Rokkaku Yoshiken is ready to realize the most precious wealth left by the ancestor Rokkaku Sadayori, the covenant of the Ashikaga Shogun's family.Take this to unify Omi and dominate Omi.

But what she waited for was a joke-like answer from the Ashikaga family.

"Young master of the Shiba family? Could it be that Mr. Gongfang is joking?"

It was her daughter, Liujiao Patriarch Zhizhi, who was invited by Liujiao Yixian to discuss matters.She was a little dumbfounded when she heard that General Ashikaga had sent a man.

"Master Gongfang is treating my Liujiao family as a fool. The covenant between the Ashikaga family and the Liujiao family was obtained by the death of countless Liujiaoji samurai in the previous generation. How can the Ashikaga family be so confused."

Liujiao Yixian smiled coldly and said to his daughter.

"When you spread the news, say that the shogunate sent a military general to help in the battle, and it is the direct descendant of the Shiba family."

"What does mother mean to let Asai's family rob and kill? But Hisamasa Asai isn't that stupid, is he?"

Rokkaku Yoshiji understood his mother's plan, but the Asai family might not be fooled.Asai Hisamasa is notoriously mediocre, but he's not so stupid.Once this kind of thing is leaked, General Ashikaga will be furious, and the situation will only get worse.

"She doesn't have the courage, then you find someone to do it."

Liujiao Yixian glanced at his daughter in dissatisfaction, and a cruel smile flashed across his beautiful and mature face.
