From this point on, the purge of the Yixiangzong temple in Xinchuan County can be regarded as a counterattack by the Yixiangzong in Yuezhong to raid the old territory of Shenbao, and the Wu family had to eliminate hidden dangers.
Takaoka Castle has clearly not been beaten yet, and the Ichigo clan in Xinchuan County has clearly been wiped out, and the time does not match up. But that's not important. We'll talk about it after the war.
Yoshigan doesn't want to get entangled with the Hokurikudo Ichikazu clan. This is a protracted quagmire that he doesn't want to fall into.
Yiyin's strategic goal has always been the Kanto Plain. Although he has no choice but to start the war, he has already begun to think about how to end this war.
Therefore, the moral high ground must be firmly established, and it must be the Yuezhong Yixiangzong who makes the first move! This is related to whether he can reach negotiations with Master Xianru and end the war he was forced to participate in.
Yiyin will not underestimate Yixiang Zong. He is not as optimistic as the martial arts families below him. After so many years of quarrels, have the martial arts families from all over the world suffered enough?
This troop dispatch went so smoothly. Under the insight mode, it was unbelievable that Zong Zongjun was so distracted. Yiyin felt uneasy if he didn't figure things out.
Only by finding out what is going on within the Yixiang Sect can he weigh his attitudes toward Ishiyama, Kaga, and Etsuchu to achieve the best results.
Sango, who was captured, had nothing to say to Yoshiyin's questioning. Because Yuezhong Yixiang Zongzhen came for the old leader of Jinbao and Shiba Yiyin.
My hands are already stained with charcoal, and the more I explain, the darker it becomes. Besides, as a prisoner, although she received preferential treatment, she had to be careful about what she said.
Shiba Yiyin was really annoyed. Now that she was a guest, she could be dragged out and beheaded just by turning her head. She didn’t want to die!
To save her life, she said.
"The reputation of the Imperial Palace is far-reaching, and Shengxing Temple has no intention of being your enemy. You may not believe it, but Shengxing Temple has lost its interest in exploring the outside world in recent years."
Yiyin smiled.
"Master Shixuan moved the Tushan Gobo to Anyangji Village downstream of the Yamada River. He built Shengxingji Temple and became the leader of Anyangji Temple. He is also a powerful figure."
Sanigo shook his head and said.
"Odaisuo, that was in the past. In recent years, the master of the temple has grown older, and his thoughts have been focused on the continuation of the inheritance of Shengxing Temple.
Sheshui County is the old territory of Shenbao, and the local martial arts are strictly guarding against deadlock. Anyangji Temple can occupy the lower reaches of the Yamada River, but the lower reaches of the Shougawa River, which is only a dozen miles away, are hard to come by.
After so many years of persistence, the owner of the workshop was tired. He focused most of his energy on internal management and no longer had the enterprising spirit of the early years. "
Yiyin nodded, understandable.
The same is true for Zuisen Temple in Tonami County. It expanded rapidly in the early years, but then gradually reached a balance with local samurai families and became much quieter. Yiyin is not surprised by the changes in the leadership of Anyang Temple.
he asked.
"When you say that, I become more and more confused.
Shengxing Temple has no intention of offending me, so who is planning this cross-border raid by the Yue-China Yixiang Sect? "
Shigo was stunned for a moment. She did know the inside story, but if she said it now, wouldn't it reveal Yixiang Zong's trump card to the Wu family?
Sibo Yiyin treated her very politely and had been waiting for this moment. Instead of using severe torture to extract confessions, it is better to use gentle inducements. With his status as the imperial office, he has already given him enough face.
Now let's see how this enlightenment responds, whether it's a matter of understanding, or it's shameless. Shiwu was also aware of Yiyin's purpose. He felt like it was stuck in his throat and his face turned red. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
The Wu family members all looked at her, and Chang Lianlong pointed at her and cursed.
"The thief didn't even reply to what the imperial office said, he's too arrogant!
I didn’t bring you back to defy the imperial office! I am so angry!
Otaisuo, let me kill this guy! "
As she said that, she stood up and drew her sword, her face deliberately fierce, which made Shi Wu tremble in fear.
Shiwu bowed to Yiyin and said.
"The poor nun didn't mean to offend the imperial office, but the matter is complicated. I was just thinking about how to reply. I can explain it clearly."
Chang Lianlong drew his sword and stepped forward. The knife was already pointing at Shixuan's neck, and he yelled.
"Don't listen to this thief's lies, I see the way her eyes are rolling around, just to deceive you.
It's better for me to chop off this head in two parts for peace. Lest she talk nonsense and mess up the mood of the imperial office. "
Shixuan, already crying, said to Yiyin.
"Otai Suo, I don't dare to deceive you!"
Yiyin glanced at Chang Lianlong with satisfaction.
How could this guy with an upright face be so cunning? She looks honest, but her white face matches Yiyin's red face, and her acting is really good.
Yiyin frowned and pretended to reprimand.
"Chang Lianlong! Stand down! Master Shiwu is a master of enlightenment. How can I allow you to insult me so recklessly?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Lianlong muttered and put down his knife, turned around and sat back in his seat.
Yiyin cursed again.
"Sit upright! Apologize to Master Shiwu!"
Chang Lianlong looked at Yiyin's aggrieved face, and when he saw the emperor's cold expression on his face, he had no choice but to lower his head and bow to Shiwu.
"I'm very sorry. I'm rude."
But when she stood up, she gave him a fierce look, which made Shigo tremble.
It's not that Shiwu doesn't understand the combination of kindness and power, but she is under the roof and has to bow her head.
Sibo Yiyin and Yan Yuese played with her for a long time. If he didn't speak up at this point, he would really be disrespectful and deserved to be stabbed.
She sighed and said.
"Upon the imperial platform, it is not only my Etsuchu Ichiko clan who has invaded the old territory of Jinbo this time, but also the Kaga Ichiko clan."
"What!"
Yiyin's pupils shrank and his expression was solemn.
"The Hokurikudo clan and I do not interfere with each other. It is unbelievable that the two clans join forces to attack."
Sango looked at the Noto girls sitting there, and was speechless about Shiba Yoshigan.
Kaga Ichimumu is conquering Noto Kingdom. You are here full of leaders and heirs of various Noto families. How dare you say it is incredible? Are you just a little white rabbit with no bad intentions?
But she still flattered her bravely.
"Those nuns and followers of Kaga are fanatical and rude, and Shengxing Temple is not willing to have much contact with them.
This joint dispatch was led by the newly arrived general Yoriteru Shimoma. In the beginning of the spring, he went to Oyama Gobo in Kanazawa and negotiated the matter with Kaga General Yori Shu Nanali.
We and other local nuns only have the duty to obey orders, but there is nothing we can do about it. "
Yiyin nodded, squinting his eyes and thinking.
Yi Yin does not believe that the nuns in these places in Yuezhong are pure and innocent. Yuezhong has always been a good person.
But Shiwu has one sentence that should be sincere. These local nuns may not necessarily be willing to obey the decisions of the generals of the two countries.
Renjoshouren, the eighth-generation Buddhist master of Honganji Temple, revolutionized the teaching affairs, and subsequent generations of Buddhist masters perfected the monastic system. The organizational power of Yixiang Sect is much stronger than that of other sects, but it also leaves many hidden dangers.
There have always been conflicts between Ishiyama Honganji Temple and local temples. In the Fangguan system, Shishan dispatches Fangguan to local areas, and they always have command authority over each place.
But the grass-roots organization of the sect has always been controlled by local temples. A temple has at least one lecture, and large temples have four or five lectures. These lectures are gathered in the temple and are controlled by the abbot and head of the temple.
The three forces at the bottom of Yixiang Sect are the Ni Corps, the Yi Kui Public, and the Believers.
The Nepali Corps is an armed force maintained by the temple to look after the house and the courtyard. The soldiers are the ground servants, the wild warriors and other warriors come to join them, most of them have their own agenda.
The devout believers are simple villagers organized by Taoism. Their combat power is low, but the village is the economic foundation of the Yixiang Sect and is very important.
The Dharma master of this mountain formed an effective management system by dispatching village officials to control the local village masters and nuns.
However, the interests of the mountain and the local area may not always be consistent, which leads to many conflicts.
The greater the interests, the greater the contradictions.
