Hearing his mother-in-law's hesitation, Takenaka Shigeharu sneered and asked.
"I dare to ask my mother, if the king succeeds in conquering the Asai family, how much benefit will we, the warrior families of Simeon, get?
The king of the country has never considered me and the West Meinong warriors as his own family. The benefits do not belong to those guys in the East Meinong. "
Ando Mamoru frowned and remained silent.
After Isshiki Yoshiryu came to power, he used the system of six elders to balance the forces of all parties and manage national affairs.
Among the three people in Simino, Ando Mamoru and Ujie Fuzen were among them, while Inaba Yoshichichi, the most stubborn character, was excluded.
Only two people from West Merion had a say in national affairs, so they were naturally suppressed by East Merion, and their interests were harmed, causing unspeakable anger.
Even though Ando Mamoru and other senior Nishimeno samurai were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to bow their heads due to Isshiki Yoshiryu's powerful force.
However, the younger generation of Nishi-Mino samurai were ambitious and unwilling to continue to serve Isshiki Yoshiryu, the lord of Mino who favored Higashi-Mino. Their representative was Takenaka Shigeharu.
Facing Takenaka Shigeharu's questioning, Ando Mamoru looked at her without speaking.
Although this daughter-in-law was not physically strong and was delicate and delicate, she was very arrogant at heart, and she was famous for her resourcefulness in Simeon.
What she said made sense.
East and West Meino are at odds, and Isshiki Yoshiryu's base is in East Meino.
If Kitanomi gains a profit, it will definitely share the profits with the Higashi Mino samurai family to enhance its strength and make it easier to suppress the disobedient Nishi Mino samurai family.
But what is infuriating is that the logistical pressure of Kitaomi's expedition is all on Nishi Mino, which is close to it, especially Fuwa County where Fupa Pass is located.
In other words, the Fuwa-gun samurai family, including Takenaka Shigeharu, contributed the most to the Kitanomi conquest but received no benefits, so they would naturally feel resentful.
She came to persuade Ando to stay, which also represents the attitude of the Bupo County warrior family. They were no longer willing to serve Isshiki Yoshiryu.
In fact, most of the Nishimino samurai family were guardians of their old ministers, and they were not the same people as Saito Douzan who had conquered the throne and usurped the throne, let alone Isshiki Yoshiryu who had killed his mother Saito Douzan and came to power.
Only passion can't change the balance of strength. The Simeon samurai family is weak, while Isshiki Yoshiryu is strong. Any rebellion will not end well.
Mamoru Ando glanced at the indignant Takenaka Shigeharu and asked.
"how do you want to do it?"
Takenaka Shigeharu felt excited after hearing this, knowing that his mother-in-law had no loyalty to Isshiki Yoshiryu, and was only worried about the family fortune, so she did not dare to give it a try.
she said.
"When Isshiki Yoshiryu leaves the country, Inabayama City will inevitably be empty.
As long as we capture this city and lock Isshiki Yilong abroad, great things can be accomplished! "
Ando Mamoru frowned.
"Inabayama Castle is the residence of the governor, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
When she left, she ordered Hinano Hiroshi to act as Inabayama Castle and strictly guard the city, which was not so easy to capture. "
Ando Mamoru shook his head.
Hinano Hiroshi is also one of the Rokujuku elders, and is deeply trusted by Isshiki Yoshiryu. This man's army is not that bad, and he is not that easy to deal with.
Takenaka Shigeharu said confidently.
"My sister Takenaka Shigekuri was kept as a hostage in Inabayama Castle, and I went to visit her on the pretext of her illness.
You lead the army to follow closely and lurk outside the city.
When I enter the city, I will attack and seize the city gate with my personal followers. Then you will march in with a large army and shout Hineno Hiroshi to rebel. You are ordered to recapture Inabayama Castle.
The defenders in the city must be frightened, unable to tell the truth from the false and have no intention of blocking. We can capture the city at lightning speed and occupy the heart of Meinong. "
Ando Mamoru heard that her plan was good, and he couldn't help but be tempted, but she still had doubts and asked.
"Would you like to communicate with the clan divination first to avoid misunderstandings?"
The Simeon samurai family is nominally one, but the three of them still have their own ideas. If they don't unify their internal opinions first, there will be a backlash.
Ujie Fuquan is also one of the six elders. If she resents Ando Mamoru's deception and instead supports Isshiki Yoshiryu, she will be in vain.
Takenaka Shigeharu hesitated and shook his head.
"The most important thing about the strategy of defrauding the city is to keep it secret. If there is any leakage, the success will be ruined.
It is not appropriate to take action at this time. After the matter is completed, we can discuss with the various companies in Simeron to cut off Isshiki Yoshiryu's escape path. "
Mamoru Ando thought it made sense, so he nodded in agreement, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
If the Uji family Fu Zhen and other Nishimeno warriors do not approve of this move and let Isshiki Yoshiryu enter and return, wouldn't she, Ando Mamoru, be called a villain in vain?
But Inabayama Castle was the largest city in Mino, and the castle town was prosperous and prosperous. The temptation was too great, so she couldn't resist the temptation and decided to take a gamble.
It's all for the benefit of the Simino family, and they will definitely support it, right?
———
Conspiracies emerge in Mino, and the war in Omi has begun.
While Asai Nagamasa and Isshiki Yoshiryu were confronting each other at Miikageji River, Rokkaku Yoshihide sent troops north to invade Aichi County.
After her death, Koga County was harassed by Maeda's interests. She ordered the Koga people to resist on the spot, using the mountains and hills as cover to harass and block them.
All parties took action, and the Omi Kingdom instantly became a mess. For a while, it was hard to tell who took advantage and who suffered the loss.
Going north along Omi, war broke out along the Hokuriku Road.
Echizen sent troops to the Cang family to congratulate him, and the attack made Xiang Zong complain incessantly.
The chief priest of Yuezhong sent troops to cross the Baiyan River and once again besieged the Kadokawa cities. Shiina Yasuyin was so anxious that he had no time to think about anything else.
Yoshigan and Terutora Uesugi took the opportunity to break through Shiina's territory. More than two hundred horsemen crossed the border in a murderous manner. No one dared to stop them, and they successfully entered Echigo country.
———
In Kasugayama Castle, Naoe Keizuna was frowning. The situation was worse than she thought.
The spring plowing had been over for a few days, and the Yangbei people led by the Honzhu family raised troops with the intention of crossing the Agano River and advancing westward, with the goal of attacking the Hirao Castle.
Nakajo Toshi, who was close to the Nagao family among the Yangbei people, was indignant and had no choice but to send troops for the survival of his family. The rule of the Nagao family in the mansion collapsed in an instant.
Nagao Masaki, the governor of the Ueda Nagao family in Central Vietnam, and the old guardian ministers headed by Ohuma Chaohide also responded.
The situation between China and Vietnam was extremely critical, as they and the Yangbei army attacked Tonglewei City, the gateway to Shangyue.
However, the Kakizaki Kei family's army was united with Usami Sada's Biwa Island troops, but they encountered Hojo Castle behind closed doors and could not get out.
This is embarrassing.
If we ignore Hojo Castle and continue to march, we will leave the logistics line to Hojo Takahiro to harass, and the army will be in danger of collapse.
But if too much time is wasted under Hojo Castle, the main village of Tomi Castle will definitely not be able to hold on.
China and Vietnam were originally the territory of the old ministers. The isolated city was trapped and the morale of the army was shaken.
If Da Xiong Chao Xiu Ce rebels against the city, I am afraid that our village will not be able to survive for a few days and will be sold out by the local martial arts who are assisting in the defense.
Naoe Keizuna was undecided. Kasugayama Castle still had some mobilized military strength, but she did not dare to use it because the situation in the cross-China direction was strange.
She sent a messenger to earnestly make a deal with Shiina Yasuin, willing to exchange the Nagao family's territory in Ezhong for her to send troops to support her lord in returning.
But Shiina's reaction was quite strange. Not only did he not reply, but he also closed the border.
This gave her an ominous premonition, and she did not dare to continue sending her troops eastward, and was wary of paying attention to the Shiina family in the west.
Is Shiina Yasuyin going to rebel? Wouldn't the Lord be more dangerous?
She was confused and didn't know what to do. At this time, news came from the castle town that the family governor was back.
Naoe Keizuna was overjoyed and came out to greet him. He happened to meet Shangshan Huihu and his cavalry entering the city.
He quickly bowed and greeted.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. Did you have a smooth journey?
Why don't you send someone to report the news first, so that I can go out of the city to pick you up. "
Shangshan Huihu waved his hand and said.
"The cavalry is moving in a hurry, and the messenger can't run faster than us, so we won't use these false courtesy."
Naoe Keizuna nodded, eager to report the domestic chaos, but Uesugi Terutora blocked her words and spoke first.
"I'll introduce you to a big shot. I can only come back this time because of his full help. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be buried alive."
There was hatred in Teru Uesugi's words. This time she suffered a huge loss. She lost face, soldiers, allies, and even her sweetheart.
Naoe Keizuna's heart tightened and he looked at the team carefully.
The family governor brought 30 cavalry with him when he went out. Now he came back and saw that there were 200 cavalry. They were also dusty and had some traces of battle.
Among them, the warrior Hime who was flying the flag of the Nagao family was no more than seven or eight years old. She suddenly became nervous. Her daughter-in-law, Naoe Kanetsugu, came to Luo with her lord. Is there anything wrong?
She found Naoe Kanetsugu in the queue, who was slightly gesturing towards her, and then she calmed down and listened to her master introducing the dignitaries from Kyoto.
"This is His Highness Yoshigan, the governor of the Shiba family. The shogunate sent me to read out the imperial edict and recognize my position as the Kanto Governor."
Terutora Uesugi was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued.
"He came to Kanto with his sword."
Listening to the front, Naoe Keizuna was still thinking while being respectful, why is the Shiba family governor a man? Why did the shogunate send a man to Kanto?
When Terutora Uesugi reluctantly told her about the sword, her eyes widened, she quickly bowed deeply and blurted out.
"The Imperial Palace is safe!"
