The Seta River is the only river flowing out of Lake Biwa and runs along the south bank of Lake Biwa.
Heading to Kyoto in a small U-shaped arc, crossing the countryside of Kyoto, Toba Fushimi.
Further east is Yodogawa.
The Seta River and Yodogawa waterways south of Kyoto are important waterway transportation and logistics guarantees for the Kyoto Basin to become a commercial center in recent years.
Shima Katsuo sent troops from Kitadawa and headed north along the Kizu River, crossing Mount Kasagi and entering Yamashiro Province. After breaking away from the river and heading north for a while, he reached the south bank of the Seta River.
At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide had been waiting in Toba on the north coast for a long time.
The two of them had no time to chat, so Akechi Mitsuhide said directly.
"Governor Asai has agreed to provide you with supplies on the north shore of Lake Biwa, and the ships are ready. We can set off immediately.
Lord Echizen Asakura Sotechi intends to get close to his lord, so he can seek her support after entering Echizen Kingdom. "
Shima Sheng nodded fiercely.
"This time I am coming with one person and two horses to supply supplies for five days in Kitaomia River. I will quickly head north to Echizen.
As long as Lord Zongdi is as powerful and powerful as the rumors say and can help me cross the border, I will cross the border quickly.
As for Kaga Ichimuzu. . "
Akechi Mitsuhide said.
"Suzuki Shigehide has convinced Honganji Kianru that he will not make it difficult for my family to cross the Hokuriku Expressway.
If you encounter difficulties in getting to Kaga, you can contact the owner of Oyama Gobobo, Shimo Yorijun.
Ishiyama Honganji Temple has rushed to report that you have arrived, and she should also know about it. "
Shima Sheng nodded fiercely.
"In this way, I can reach Yuezhong in six days."
One day's journey by water, and three to four hundred miles after landing, there were many martial arts families along the way.
Negotiating and traveling at the same time, six days was already the limit, and Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't ask for more.
She turned back and took the two items from the attendant's hands, carefully handed them to Dao Shengmeng with both hands, and said.
"The imperial edict is proof of your transit, proving that you are the rear group of the envoy's subsequent departure.
Be careful in your negotiations along the way, and don't be impatient and cause trouble. The strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snake, and there is no time to argue with them.
Time is of the essence, so as long as we are given clearance and allowed to cross the border, all things must be tolerated. "
"I see."
"General, bring your sword to the Lord. This is a treasure given by Lord Gongfang for personal protection."
Shima Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Yu Jian with a complicated expression, with so many thoughts rolling around in his heart that he even forgot to pick it up for a moment.
Is Your Highness still going to marry into the Imperial Palace? My affection is ultimately just a dream, like a mirror and a mirror.
Seeing her hesitation, Akechi Mitsuhide felt angry in his heart and scolded regardless of the equal status of both parties.
"Shima Shengmeng! You haven't picked up the sword yet!
The king is humiliated and his ministers die, the king is in danger and his ministers are worried. When has this happened? There are other messy things in mind! "
Dao Shengmeng's face turned red.
When Akechi Mitsuhide approached her to join forces, she agreed in order to have a chance of getting married.
Now his thoughts were naturally seen through by Akechi Mitsuhide, and he suddenly felt ashamed.
She had always thought of herself as a Ji warrior who understood righteousness and valued justice, but her thoughts at this time were so dirty that she couldn't stand up to the publicity.
Feeling ashamed, he resolutely took the sword and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.
"The days are long and there will be opportunities."
She also didn't want to extinguish Dao Shengmeng's fantasy. It was the right time for her to be used in the master's attack on Guandong.
Why break her dream and add unnecessary hidden dangers to the master.
Akechi Mitsuhide shouted out one person.
"Kamo clan township."
"Hi!"
A young girl walked out from among the attendants behind her, also leading two horses, fully equipped.
"Lord Dao, this is the village of Pusheng clan, and the people of the same mind who came from Yuezhong in three days to report the letter.
She is familiar with the route and can be a guide. She has also met Zongdi and his daughter, so she can introduce you to them. "
Shima Shengmeng looked at Kamao Clan's childish face and praised.
"Three days? You are truly a loyal and brave man!
Follow me, and we will go to the Lord together to lead his horse and hold his stool, and we will be clothed in sharp swords. "
"Hi!"
Time was running out, so the two principals thought silently, thinking over whether there were any flaws in the matter.
For a moment, there was no objection.
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed deeply and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, please be sure to take the Lord out of danger."
Dao Shengmeng also responded as a gift.
"Thank you for everything you have done. I will definitely protect Your Highness."
Having said that, there is no point in talking more, Shima Sheng turned around and shouted.
"Get aboard! Let's go!"
"Hi!"
More than one hundred and seventy Ji warriors responded together, like spring thunder.
———
In the Echizen Kingdom, there is a castle tower in Ichijo Valley Castle.
Asakura Yoshikage said strangely when he saw his younger sister Asakura Kagegage coming.
"Why are you not watching the spring plowing in Daye County? What are you doing in Ichijo Valley City?"
Asakura Jingjing smiled bitterly.
"I have to come, not only am I here, but all the family governors in Chaocang are on their way.
I work hard without stopping, just to come here early so that you can be prepared. "
Asakura Yoshikage said angrily.
"what happened!
Who allowed them to leave their territory and come to Yicheng Valley City regardless of the important spring plowing event? What a nonsense! "
Asakura Jingjing became more and more disappointed with this sister who had no self-awareness. Don't you know what you did?
she said.
"It was Sotechigong who sent envoys to inform all the families to come and convene a military review to deal with the strange Kaga Ichikou clan in the feudal state."
Asakura Yoshikage stood up from his seat and said angrily.
"How could she do this! Why didn't I know about this!
She is transgressing, she is going to rebel! "
Chaocang Jingjing lowered his head and sneered, "Zongdi's adopted daughter came to visit you, but you didn't even show your face and just dismissed her on the way."
Now she is summoning each family to imitate her example and give you a showdown.
Sister, do you dare to scold her in front of everyone? Do you dare to cancel this review?
You do not dare.
On the scene, Asakura Jingjing answered calmly.
"Gong Zongdi is not overstepping his bounds. As a member of the Asakura Army, she is in charge of military affairs. As long as it is a military council, she is qualified to convene it."
Of course Asakura Yoshikage knew this, she was just venting her fear.
The Asakura family's military executive has great power, and it is almost a position tailor-made for Asakura Sotetsu.
Unlike the military service that Yiyin granted Nizi Shengjiu in recent battles, it was just a temporary assignment.
Assist the general to manage logistics, provide strategies, and participate in military discussions.
Asakura Sotechi was in charge of the Asakura family's military power and was himself the general in charge of foreign campaigns.
Although after Asakura Yoshikage succeeded to the throne, Asakura Sotechi kept a low profile for a long time in order not to irritate the fifth-generation family governor and avoid the trouble of his great achievements.
But as long as she gets angry, all Asakura branches will follow her lead. This is the prestige she has accumulated over three generations and has won every battle.
Asakura Yoshikage's contempt for Asakura Kageki angered the old woman who was protecting the calf, and slapped Asakura Yoshikage so hard that he became dizzy.
Compared with the furious sister in front of him, Asakura Jingjing was more curious about why Somichigong suddenly showed strength?
Although Asakura Sotechi could step on Asakura Yoshikage and rub him under her feet, she could not abolish the family governor.
The Asakura family has been passed down for five generations, with nearly every generation of British masters, and has been blessed with profound blessings.
Even if Asakura's righteousness was unsatisfactory and his family management was mediocre, the group of retainers who were grateful for the rewards of the past generations was still there, and Asakura Zongdi could not change the world.
After all, she is old and won't live much longer.
When she passes away, her adopted daughter Asakura Kageki will also have a hard time with Asakura Yoshikage's temperament.
Asakura Sotechi understands this truth, so he endured it again and again in order to leave some lasting memories after his death.
But this time, why couldn't she bear it anymore?
Asakura Jingjing's heart moved, thinking of the shogunate envoy who just passed through the border, the man who refused to show off his beauty to Kenshin Nobukoshi Shiba.
When the mission passed through the border, it was reported that Zong Fengguo had been enfeoffed, and Zong Digong proposed a military proposal. .
She suddenly had a ridiculous idea. Was Zong Digong standing up for Duke Qianxin to attract Xiang Zong's attention?
For the sake of the Sibo family, he did not hesitate to offend the master's family governor and start a war. Is Zongdi Gong crazy?
Or she valued that young man and decided to give him a huge favor in exchange for protecting Asakura Kageki in the future.
Is that young man really so capable?
Asakura Jingjing regretted that he did not persuade his sister to meet him when he was crossing the border, so that he could have a reference for assessing the situation.
Her eyes were deep, and she became more and more disappointed with the irritable sister in front of her. Her mind was deep and she didn't know what she was thinking.
