Having been pointed out by Taiyuan Xuezhai, Miyoshi Changqing, Miyoshi Yixian, Anzhai Fuyasu and Matsunagahide all realized that they could no longer pretend. After exchanging a few glances with each other, Miyoshi Changqing fell into deep thought.

Although the specific details of Taiyuan Xuezhai are unknown, the general plan of the Sanhao family has been anticipated. He didn't understand what kind of mentality Taiyuan Xuezhai had to think of digging the grave of Ashikaga Yoshiharu in the chaos of war - it was not something a normal person could think of, right? Or did he just happen to want to try his luck, but he happened to run into the lifeblood of the Miyoshi family? Either there was a daughter-in-law of the Imagawa family in the Miyoshi family who was still in a key position and disclosed this information to him.

Whether it was inevitable or accidental, Sanhao Changqing had no intention of thinking about it. But if, as Taiyuan Xuezai said, he had conclusive evidence to prove Hosokawa Harumoto's innocence, then the Miyoshi family's plan would be completely in vain.

The two key chess pieces in this plan are Ashikaga Yoshito, the general supported by the Miyoshi family, and Mibuchi Haru, Ashikaga Yoshiharu's close friend. Although Miyoshi Haru came from the Izumi Hosokawa family, the Miyoshi family had already bribed and placed an informant around Ashikaga Yoshiharu. After Ashikaga Yoshiharu died suddenly, they asked him to defect to Hosokawa Harumoto to report the news, and won Hosokawa's favor. Qingyuan's trust.

The original plan of the Miyoshi family was to pretend to withdraw from Kyoto, even leaving the Ashikaga Yoshitō they supported in Nijo Castle, handing it over to the Confederate Army to take over, and allowing the Confederate Army to occupy Shokokuji Temple. But when the great names of the Confederate Army met Ashikaga Yoshitō, Ashikaga Yoshitō would attack on the spot, threatening that Ashikaga Yoshitō had told him before his death that the murderer was a member of the Hosokawa family. This triggered a controversy and forced Hosokawa Harumoto to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy - and then he would be unable to argue in front of the traces of the poisoned bones. If Hosokawa Harumoto is unwilling, Mibuchi Harumoto, who is on the sidelines, can persuade him and come out at the last moment to take the lead in questioning Hosokawa Harumoto and turn against him to guide public opinion to the greatest extent.

Of course, the plan itself carries high risks. Miyoshi Haru is okay, but the Miyoshi family completely lacks the ability to restrain the general Ashikaga Yoshitō, so they can only persuade him based on their interests. If Ashikaga Yoshito does nothing and the Confederate Army really wins, there is a high probability that Hosokawa Harumoto will make Ashikaga Yoshiaki, whom he supports, ascend to the position of the new general. The only thing waiting for Ashikaga Yoshito is to become a monk and become a general. The ending of house arrest.

And if Ashikaga Yoshito steps forward to assist the Miyoshi family, if they win, the Miyoshi family will undoubtedly continue to support Ashikaga Yoshito as the general. And Ashikaga Yoshitō's overthrow of the leader Hosokawa Harumoto in public will also gain him great prestige. He may even directly gain supporters from the daimyo of the Southern Army, which will be very beneficial to his own power. He may even have the opportunity to win over Miyoshi. Get a certain amount of freedom in your hands. If you lose, the most you can do is become a monk or be placed under house arrest. There is no difference.

The Miyoshi family can only hope that Ashikaga Yoshitō can figure out the interests and risks on his own, and that he is not willing to be a puppet on strings and is willing to risk the prestige of the shogunate.

But if at this critical moment, the Imagawa family really releases the secret evidence they possess to clear up Hosokawa Harumoto - then all the plans of the Miyoshi family will come to nothing. Although Miyoshi Changqing thought about it for a long time, he could not imagine what form the Imakawa family would leave evidence in. But since Taiyuan Xue Zhai had already come to this point - he needed to be vigilant anyway.

"What do the Imagawas want?"

After a while, Miyoshi Changqing raised his head again and finally chose to compromise.

"Help us kill Oda Nobunaga and Saito Douzan." Taiyuan Xuezhai gave the offer very directly: "After all, they are friendly forces, it is inconvenient to do it, and the Oda family and Saito family are not worthy of our Imagawa family's reputation. To destroy him at the cost. So when you fight back with your carbine, give priority to destroying him."

"Okay." Miyoshi Nagakei readily agreed, "Then what will the Imagawa family do for us?"

"Help you shake the prestige of Commander Hosokawa." Taiyuan Xuezai replied simply, "If you have an internal agent responsible for identifying Hosokawa Harumoto, we will also help you protect their safety."

"What if the inner palace is the Gongfang Hall?" Miyoshi Changqing's voice suddenly rose and he stared at Taiyuan Xuezhai.

Taiyuan Xue Zhai calmly squinted his eyes and smiled, "Those are our hostages. Wait until you help us deal with the Oda Army and Saito Army, and then

The Gongfang Palace is returned to you. "

"When that time comes, I'm afraid Master Seksai will not accept his debt." Miyoshi Yixian frowned and whispered, "The Imagawa family also needs to give us hostages."

"This is absolutely impossible." Taiyuan Xuezhai shook his head without hesitation, "His Royal Highness Shixiu, you are all businessmen. Please find out who is begging and who is doing the work."

"Why are you so verbose?" Shihe Yicun, who stood behind and remained silent, finally couldn't help but snorted, "Isn't it enough to just fight? Why bother?"

"Fourth brother." Anzhai Dongkang glanced at Shihe Yicun and pulled his sleeves. Shihe Yicun stopped talking.

"Master Xue Zhai is right. We are indeed under the control of others at this moment." Mihao Changqing became more honest, but his words contained unexplainable determination: "But we also have a bottom line. We will never get it if Gongfang Palace can't get it. They will start a war with the Oda Army and the Saito Army. Once they lose the general they support, how can the Miyoshi family gain a foothold in Kinki? This is our lifeblood, and we must not tolerate being pinched by the Imagawa family. I hope Master Yusei understands. "

"No problem." Taiyuan Xuezhai agreed without thinking, which made Miyoshi Changqing and others feel frustrated that they had been calculated in advance. The former confidently added: "But our Imagawa family will be there when the time comes." The one who led the Oda Army and Saito Army to you, whether to start a war or not may not be your decision."

"So..." Seeing that Miyoshi Changqing and others stopped talking, Taiyuan Xuezhai smiled and extended his hand, "Happy cooperation?"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Miyoshi Changqing held Taiyuan Xuezhai's calloused hand, "I just hope that Master Xuezhai will keep his promise."

"Monks don't lie, don't worry." Taiyuan Xuezhai laughed when he heard this. "Besides, this is not the first time our two families have cooperated, so please rest assured."

Miyoshi Changqing snorted. It felt really bad to be led by someone's nose from beginning to end.

"Happy cooperation, Your Highness." Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has been watching the show from the beginning until now, and even talks less than Tokawa Ichino, did not forget to pay tribute to Miyoshi Nagakei at this time, but Miyoshi Nagakei felt But there is only humiliation. But Miyoshi Nagakei, who didn't want to lose his composure in front of Matsunagahide and other brothers, still nodded to Imagawa Yoshimoto with a smile, then leaned into Imagawa Yoshimoto's ear and whispered sarcastically in an inaudible voice:

"Your Highness Jibu is just a good student of Master Xuezai. Without Master Xuezai, you are nothing."

"So what?" Unexpectedly, Imagawa Yoshimoto was not angry, but showed a complacent look on his face, "I just have a good teacher and a good life. Isn't your Highness envious?"

But these words unexpectedly relieved Miyoshi Changqing. After being silent for a long while, he turned around to say goodbye and left a message to Imagawa Yoshimoto:

"You have changed a lot. From resisting the world that is different from your own ideas, you have now learned to compromise with the world. When you learn to actively cater to and exploit the world, you will truly become my enemy."

"I don't know why." Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't know what Miyoshi Nagakei was referring to specifically, "But I still thank you, Your Highness. I wish you good luck."

With the advance planning of the Miyoshi family and the Imagawa family, the ending of the Kyoto war was also logical. Under the joint efforts of Ashikaga Yoshito, Miyoshi family, and Imagawa family, the Confederate army collapsed and almost started fighting among themselves. The returning Miyoshi Army retook Kyoto and welcomed back Ashikaga Yoshito, while the Imagawa Army and the Takeda Army took advantage of the situation and took over the baggage in the Confederate camp, as well as another "Conquering General" Ashikaga Yoshiaki. The Oda Army and Saito Army, who were enemies of the Imagawa family, also suffered heavy losses from the Miyoshi Army. Only the Hojo Army was not able to participate in any party's plan because it was not trusted and escaped by chance.

After the war, various daimyo's propaganda wars began immediately, claiming that they were the victors in the Kyoto War. The Northern Army was of course justified, and it could just make its experience of going back and forth and turning defeat into victory public. Relatively speaking, the Nanjun's explanation requires the daimyo to waste their efforts.

The Imagawa family, the Takeda family, the Asakura family and the Asai family, all of whom were enemies of the Hosokawa family, all claimed to have discovered that Hosokawa Harumoto was the real culprit who poisoned Ashikaga Yoshiharu.

And in cooperation with the Miyoshi family, they successfully defeated Hosokawa Harumoto. The Hosokawa family and the Rokkaku family accused these Eastern kingdom daimyo of rebellion and threatened to target these daimyo who colluded with the rebellion as targets of conquest by the shogunate.

However, Ashikaga Yoshito and Kyoto were under the control of Miyoshi Nagakei, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki had been taken away by Imagawa Yoshimoto. Hosokawa Harumoto, the leader of the shogunate, has now become a completely empty promise. He can't even pull the banner of the shogunate. Naturally, there are only a few candidates. Many of the Kinki daimyo who had surrendered to the Kinki area had a tendency to "fall down trees and scatter" when they saw this, and they ignored the instructions from the Hosokawa family. The once prosperous Hosokawa family seemed to be in a straight line after the war. It fell to an ordinary daimyo occupying only hundreds of thousands of koku scattered territories.

The people who are most at home in the propaganda war are naturally the Oda family who shined in the Kyoto War. Relying on the achievement of being the first to break into Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace, the Oda family started to boast. But compared to the publicity on the surface, Oda Nobuhide, who stayed behind in Owari, had already begun to plan a more realistic action-the invasion of Mikawa.

Because he received news from Kyoto that Oda Nobunaga had led the Oda army to escape and escaped from the surveillance of the Imagawa family and the Takeda family. Although they still don't know how to return to the Owari territory, they have left the Imagawa family far away. The Oda family will no longer dare to use force against the empty and leaderless Imagawa family in the territory because of the hostages. As for the Imagawa Army, they are marching towards Wakasa northeast of Kyoto - they seem to want to take a boat around half a circle around Japan and then return to Suruga. This left plenty of time for Oda Nobuhide to invade the Imagawa family.

The time, place, and people are both favorable, so how can the Owari Tiger remain immobile?

Oda Nobuhide, who had already assembled his troops, ordered his troops to attack Mikawa on June 24, the 14th year of Tenmon (1546), the day after the end of the Battle of Kyoto....
