Rokkaku Yoshiken didn't care who the Ashikaga family sent. Even if they send a pig, as long as they stand clearly on the side of the Rokkaku family, it will be convenient for the Rokkaku family to annex the entire Omi country.
But Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't take the bait and didn't even bring a pig to the Rokkaku family.
Although the authority of the Ashikaga shogun has been mixed among senior samurai, his reputation has been mixed. But after all, he is the common master of the world, a low-level warrior Ji, and the servants in the countryside are still in awe.
As long as they have the support of the general, the newly captured territory can be pacified with much less effort, and even the fools in the countryside can be fooled.
The name is not justified, Rokkaku Yoshiken looks forward to the position of Omi's guardian, wants to restore the glory of the Sasaki clan and rule the entire Omi.
The two covenants still exist. Since the Ashikaga family was unkind, Rokkaku Yoshihide was not afraid of using underhanded tactics. For this reason, killing a legitimate son of Shiba is nothing. As long as it is profitable, killing an Ashikaga shogun is not out of the question.
"Go ahead and ask the Otani family, the servant of Otani Village, to send out troops to accompany the Shiba family master to fight. This will serve as the Shiba family's military strength for this battle."
Rokkaku Yixian rolled his eyes and spoke to his daughter again.
"The Otani family... is the Otani who only has one seriously ill family governor left and is on the verge of extermination?"
Rokkaku Yoshiharu thought about it again and again, and finally found out the people of this family in his mind.
Speaking of the Otani family, they were also the old martial arts family near Guanyin Temple City. Many family members have died in these wars over the past few generations. In this generation, there is only one single daughter left.
The poor, only daughter didn't know what strange disease she had contracted. She couldn't see the wind, her skin was itchy and ulcerated, and she hid in the house with her head covered all day long. It is said that she is almost dying, and the Rokkaku family is just waiting for her to take over the territory.
"Master Gongfang has asked the young master of the Shiba family to fight. How can there be no men and horses to accompany him? I, Rokkaku Yoshihide, am deeply grateful for the favor of the shogunate and would like to send my general... Well, what is the name of the governor of the Otani family?"
"Otani Yoshitsugi."
"I would like to send General Otani Yoshitsugi and his troops to close the military situation for the Shiba family, so that they are safe. Send this message to the Ashikaga family, and when Otani Yoshitsugi and the young master of the Shiba family reunite, do whatever you want. .”
Mother, this is to clear the suspicion of the Rokkaku family, and throw away an abandoned son. Rokkaku Yoshiharu nodded in agreement, excused himself and went to work.
Rokkaku Yoshiken looked at the map of Omi Country hanging on the wall and thought about the details of this war. This battle is her first battle as the family governor. She can win but cannot lose, so she must be extremely careful.
At the Mibuchi Residence in Kyoto, Yoshigami couldn't put it down while holding the Ashikaga White Flag.
After Haru Mibuchi cried to the shogunate, the Imperial Palace issued a white flag within a few days. It seemed that the Shiba family still had some respect among the Ashikaga family.
Yiyin thought happily.
This Ashikaga White Flag, also known as the royal flag, is a square white flag with the Ashikaga family's two-letter embroidered on it.
Compared with the long flags such as horse seals and formation flags, they are smaller, but they are easy to carry out of the formation, and can also be hung on the horse seal formation flags in a row.
Once the royal flag is given, it can be used for life and will not be taken back unless a serious crime of treason is committed, but it cannot be passed down to future generations.
The only use for future generations is to hang it at home, point to the battle scars and arrow holes on the flag, tell the story of the ancestors' brilliance, and remember the glorious past.
With this white flag, as long as Yoshigan does not go to war with the Muromachi shogunate, he will conquer Fuchen on behalf of the general. The martial arts family that is his enemy must weaken first without fighting.
If it weren't for the fact that Yoshigami was a man, Ashikaga Yoshiteru would never have given him the white flag. The power given was too great for the samurai family.
Seeing Yi Gin holding the white flag like a child, Mibuchi Haru who stood beside him smiled kindly.
"Chi'er, this is all your stuff. Don't take it out to look at someday. Put it down first. I have something to tell you."
"Yes, uncle."
This shout of Aunt Yiyin was made with all her heart, and it was so sweet that it was shameless. If a man acts cute, then there is nothing wrong with women.
"You kid."
Mibuchi Haru's face was filled with smiles. She was already a charming and beautiful woman, but now she looked even more radiant.
"I was worried about you going to Omi this time, so I called my second daughter back. She has been smart since she was a child, has strong martial arts skills, and looks brave and brave."
At first, Yiyin was still nodding. He was praising his daughter. What does it have to do with me going to Omi?
"Oh, look at my brain."
Pretending to talk too much, Mibuchi Haru gave her own head a light blow, and finished her words to add points to her second daughter without leaving any trace.
"This is not because I am afraid that it will be dangerous for you to go to Omi. I asked my second daughter to take a Rikiji warrior with you so that you can take care of her when the time comes."
Yiyin's eyes lit up, there was such a good thing. Just as Haru Mibuchi said, her second daughter is a good fighter, and she will definitely not bring someone with weak skills into the fight.
Then coupled with Maeda's interests, he has three powerful Hime Samurai at his disposal, which is good.
"I heard that the Rokkaku family has also sent a troop to pick you up at the border of Yamashiro Kingdom as a side force for this battle."
"This is great, thank you, aunt. I will live up to my aunt's trust and not fall into the shogunate's prestige."
Yiyin was overjoyed, thinking that it was Sanyuan who adjusted the men and horses given by the Rokkaku family. Now that Warrior Ji has military strength, he can go into battle and try to make some meritorious deeds.
"You kid just likes to talk nonsense. Be careful on the road and come back early after the war. Your aunt has good things waiting for you."
How did Sanbuchi Haru know that Yiyin was already determined to make a meritorious service. Seeing the excitement on his face, I couldn't help but shake my head. This boy just loves to talk nonsense.
I thought that if the second daughter and Yoshigage were attracted to each other, she would go to her sister Hosokawa Motonsune to finalize the marriage when she came back, and she felt very happy.
Speaking of the second daughter, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide set off the next day after receiving the letter. This mountain city country is not big, and it has already arrived in Kyoto.
Hosokawa Fujitaka did not immediately go back to meet his biological mother, but he found a few fair-weather friends in Beijing and asked about Shiba Yoshigan.
"The direct son of the Sibo family? Which family? I have no impression?"
"Yes, is this a famous person in Kyoto?"
"You are stupid. Fujitaka, I know this. Her family is not qualified to participate in the shogunate's affairs, so I don't know."
"Bah, your Matsuda family is amazing. Do you dare to compare your family background with Fujitaka?"
Before a group of dandy girls from Kyoto could say anything, they started to quarrel. Hosokawa Fujitaka touched his forehead and smiled sheepishly at Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide just sat elegantly on the side, smiling and listening to the quarrels of the playboys, as if he was hearing something interesting. This city alone is completely different from the descendants of these famous families in Kyoto.
When they were tired from arguing, Hosokawa Fujitaka coughed lightly and pushed them down.
The Hosokawa family is the top noble family in the shogunate. Even the branch of the Izumi Hosokawa family is close to the general. These women have no guts to make Hosokawa Fujitaka angry.
"A few days ago, a son-in-law of the Shiba clan came to Owari Countryside and caused a joke."
When the woman from the Matsuda family saw Hosokawa Fujitaka looking at her, she quickly told her what she knew.
"I didn't follow the rules and went to various houses. I went directly to the general's door to ask for an audience and donate money to the Owari Oda family. On that day, Mr. Kokata happened to be gathering for a meeting. My family was also sitting there and looked at it."
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded. Donating money for job hunting was already an open secret of the shogunate. This was nothing. It's just that this young master of the Sibo family is too stupid.
General, don’t you want to lose face? There are rules for everything, and I'm afraid it won't do any good to be so reckless.
"The general was furious and did not say whether he would keep the donation or not. The young master became anxious and quarreled with the general on the spot. He even took off his clothes to show the general, which frightened all the ministers."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's brows furrowed even more tightly. This unruly and arrogant man was simply unreasonable. If any woman marries him in the future, it will bring trouble to the family.
Hearing a laugh behind him, he looked back at Mitsuhide Akechi and saw that she was looking at him with a half-smile. I suddenly realized, my mother.
