Before Ashikaga Yoshiteru could react, Yusa Nobukyo, who had already put on a good show and had an excuse, led Minamigouchi's army to retreat overnight.
The troops remaining in Takaya Castle were gathered together, and the "truth" about Hatakeyama Takamasa's assassination of Yusa Chokyo was announced, and the Yusa family turned against the Hatakeyama family.
Then, Yasumi Naomasa, who was stationed at Iimoriyama Castle in the north, was filled with indignation and announced that he would leave the Hatakeyama family and establish his own business.
For a time, the shogunate's army was greatly moved.
Fortunately, both families sent messengers to express their continued obedience to the shogunate and to oppose Hatakeyama but not the shogunate.
Only then could the shogunate army's logistics remain stable. Ashikaga Yoshiki could do nothing even if he knew the true truth.
Could it be that for the sake of Hatakeyama Takamasa, who was already in disarray in the shogunate's army, he would offend two wealthy Hanoi families that would affect the victory or defeat of the shogunate's army?
No matter how angry you are at this time, you can only endure it. The general Ashikaga Yoshiki has done too much.
In normal times, the shogunate would definitely criticize such acts of independence from the master's family.
But it was the critical moment of the fierce battle. He was as strong as Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and he also knew that he could not lose the big due to small things, so he endured the situation.
With the general's acquiescence, the one-sided talk between the Anjian family and the Yusa family temporarily passed the test.
This is also a lesson learned from Hatakeyama Takamasa Yukii Kuni, who is so unpopular. Most of the samurai families believed it, which benefited both families and severely wronged Hatakeyama Takamasa.
It was enough that the Yusa family occupied Takaya Castle, but Iimoriyama Castle on the west side of the Ikoma Mountains was stuck at an important node in the logistics line of the shogunate army, which put Ashikaga Yoshiteru in a dilemma.
If two families get into trouble, they must collude with the Sanhao family. If the Sanhao family pays a big price, will they choose to give up their current position and turn to the Sanhao family?
Don't talk nonsense about being deferential to the shogunate. Rebellious ministers who have turned against their masters have no credibility at all, and some are just waiting for a price.
Just when Ashikaga Yoshiki was distressed, worse news came.
The governor of Izumi Hosokawa family, Motonō, defended the northern line of Izumi, and Anzhai Fuyangyasu was unable to attack repeatedly.
Matsunaga Hide brought his troops to sneak into the country from the south and attacked Kishiwada Castle.
Izumi's forces were concentrated in the hands of Hosokawa Motonsune in the north. His daughter Hosokawa Fujitaka barely defended the city and sent envoys to the front line to ask for help.
Hosokawa Motonsune was horrified and sent troops to return for reinforcements. Anzhai Fuyang seized the opportunity and defeated the northern defense line in one go.
Now that Hosokawa and her daughter are besieged in Kishiwada Castle by the Northern and Southern armies, Izumi's threat to Sakai Port has been completely eliminated.
Ashikaga Yoshiki received the news and sighed. Without hesitation, the general retreated to the border of the mountain city of Hanoi.
Relying on the Yodogawa River in the north and the Ikoma Mountains in the south, the defense line was rebuilt.
However, the decline of the shogunate's coalition forces has become apparent. Not only the Rokkaku family and the Asai family in the north and south of Omi have begun to retreat, but the voices of the capitulation faction headed by Ise Sakyo in the shogunate have begun to appear again.
The divisions within the shogunate coalition forces widened, but the Spoken coalition forces were united and had high morale.
After Master Changkaku of Kofukuji Temple issued two Mingfa decrees, Yiyin had achieved a complete moral victory.
The former decree requiring all Yamato nuns and warriors to assist the Shiba Allied Forces was fairly ordinary, but the latter decree naming Miyoshi Chokei as an enemy of Buddha was a bomb that detonated in Yamato.
The aftermath of this bomb has not yet blasted out of Yamato, and Yiyin took advantage of this trend to move south.
Regardless of the matter of Buddha's enemies, Changjue was torn into pieces by various sects afterward.
At least now, Yoshigan has obtained absolute authorization from both the shogunate and the religious level, and has completely killed Shiga Ichibun on the moral level.
Miyoshi Changqing was also awarded the dual status of an enemy of the Wu family and an enemy of the Buddha, and his reputation reached a new level.
Since ancient times, no martial arts family has been accused by the shogunate and Buddhism at the same time as a public enemy. This was a huge blow to the Miyoshi family.
It's a pity that this Buddhist enemy is just the word of the family of the head of Kofukuji Temple. If it is really recognized by all the sects, no matter how powerful the Miyoshi family is, they can only retreat to Shikoku in disgrace.
Not to mention Honganji Temple, Neraiji Temple, Enryakuji Temple and other recent sects and powers, just one drink from the Buddhists in their own territory is enough for the Miyoshi family to drink a pot.
What a pity, what a pity.
However, under the current situation, Yamato has completely isolated Shihe Icun, and no force dares to cooperate with her anymore.
In this way, Yiyin can finally go south with peace of mind and kill Shihe Yicun before other sects react.
The terrain of Tsutsui Castle is low-lying, with plains nearby and a broad view.
With Tsutsui Castle as the core, the Tsutsui family built a series of castle groups, relying on these small towns and castles to resist the Shihe-Icun army in the south.
Not far east of Tsutsui Castle is Toyokawa. Fengchuan floods from time to time and is a fast-flowing river.
Toyokawa flows from north to south, passing through the eastern part of Tsutsui Castle and then winding to the southwest, forming an inverted L shape.
Yiyin went south along the Toyokawa River. The coalition forces moved very quickly and arrived at their destination in a day and a half. They echoed Tsutsui Castle in the east of the river and west of the river.
Shiheyi camped south of Fengchuan, and the positions of the three sides formed an inverted shape.
After setting up camp and surrounding the shogunate, Yiyin summoned all the ladies to discuss matters.
"Matsukura-hime, you should rush back to Tsutsui Castle now. Tell Tsutsui-sama that the master's decree is clear to the world and let her think about it clearly."
"Yes, Yu Qian."
Matsukura Shigenobu said nothing and turned around to leave.
She is an important minister of the Tsutsui family and a die-hard loyalist of Tsutsui Junkei. Everyone knows many things in their hearts, so there is no need to pretend to be stupid and arouse people's disgust.
The most important thing now is to tell Tsutsui Junkei what happened in the north, so that she can understand the causes and consequences and not misjudge the situation and make wrong choices.
Yoshigan watched Matsukura Shigenobu leave coldly.
With the Buddhist enemy's Dharma identified by Kofukuji Temple, Tsutsui Junkei will never be able to side with Miyoshi Nagakei in this battle.
He didn't expect Tsutsui Shunkei to help, as long as he didn't cause trouble.
"Suzuki Shigehide, you gather the remaining available iron cannons into the hands of the Zaga party. The other 600 or so Zaga party members will return to Kii to cut off the supply line of Tokawa Ichin.
As long as they can cut off Shihe Yicun's logistics, I will count it as a great achievement for you. "
Suzuki Shigehide cheered and went down to do some work.
Most of Zahe Zhong's black powder was wasted by a heavy rain in the system. Now they can only concentrate the remaining iron cannons to the elite Zahe Party to play the greatest role in the joint battle.
As for the other miscellaneous people, Yiyin threw them back to Jiyi Country in order to cut off Shihe Icun's logistics and force her to take the initiative to attack.
You must know that this time the troops were sent to Shiga and Yamato from Kii.
Grain and grass supplies were embarked at Sakai Port, disembarked from the Kii coast, and transported by farmers and soldiers of the Kii country.
Passing through the territory of Genlaizhong in the west, then passing through the territory of Zahezhong in the east, and finally entering Yamato.
Now Zahezhong abandons the dark side and joins the Siberian Allied Forces. Then as long as people are sent back to interfere, the food channel of Shiheyicun will naturally be cut off.
The land, peasants and soldiers are all mixed together, and there is no need to talk about logistics and transportation.
There is no way to plan poison without cutting off food.
