"There was Asami Sadatori before, but" at this point, Master Saburo raised his head and looked at Kyogoku Takahiro's face, and then continued, "but my father destroyed the Great Wall and exiled Asami Sadatori."
"At this point, Asai Ryomasa no longer has any constraints, and he is aggressively integrating the territory of Kitaomi to eliminate dissidents. Now he is also showing a tendency to be invincible, which is even more serious than that of Asami Sada."
"If you want to resist Asai Ryomasa's aggressive momentum without relying on the power of the Rokkaku family, in my opinion there is only one way."
"What solution?" Kyogoku Takahiro was a little uncomfortable when he first heard about the banishment of Asami Sadatori. However, when Master Saburo said there was a solution later, Kyogoku Takahiro couldn't help but interjected and asked.
Master Saburo stretched out his palm and raised a finger, "Support another nation to compete with Asai Ryomasa!"
"Support another member of the nation?" Kyogoku Takahiro hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Then who should I support to fight against the Asai family?"
"Mitamura family?" Kyogoku Takahiro took the lead in naming a candidate.
Master Sanlang shook his head, "The Mitamura family may have been okay in the past, but after this defeat, the Mitamura family's strength has been greatly damaged. Even if the Mitamura city can be saved, it will still be too damaged to fight against the Asai family."
"Among the Omi people, except for the Mitamura family and the Hori family, the Umori family among the four families in Jiangbei has always been close to the Asai family. The Akao family and the Isono family are too weak and far from being a match for the Asai family, so there is only one Iguchi family left!" Kyogoku Takahiro continued.
Master Saburo nodded, "The Iguchi family is located on the right bank of the Takatoki River and controls the irrigation of the Takatoki River. Even the Asai family does not dare to offend easily. This is called Tianshi!"
"The Takatoki River is a tributary of the Anesikawa River, and is known as the Sister River. Two-thirds of the Asai family's territory needs water from the Takatoki River for irrigation. It can be said that the Iguchi family controls the lifeblood of the Asai family and occupies a geographical advantage!"
"And if my father gives the Iguchi family the honor of being the head of the Kyogoku family and the guardian of Kitaomi, then the Iguchi family will have harmony again."
"The right time, the right place, and the right people are all there. In this way, even if the Iguchi family is not as powerful as the Asai family, they are still able to compete with them. When the two families are at war, my father takes advantage of the situation when both sides are hurt, and then joins forces with the Imai, Mitamura and other families. , if we can unite a few more people, we will be able to turn the tide and defeat Asai Ryomasa in one fell swoop. In this way, the power of Kitaomi will return to the hands of our family again!" As he said that, Master Saburo looked at Kyogoku Gao with excitement. wide.
Kyogoku Takahiro was immediately stunned.
The retainers of the Kyogoku family have never given such constructive advice to Kyogoku Takahiro, and Kyogoku Takahiro never thought that he could do such an operation after defeating Asai Ryomasa.
In Kyogoku Takahiro's understanding, if he wanted to defeat Asai Ryomasa, he would either directly rely on force to confront the Asai family, or rely on foreign aid to bow to the Rokkaku family.
The former has no chance of winning, while the latter cannot lose face, so Kyogoku Takahiro has always been torn between the two. And now Master Saburo has proposed a new strategy. The key sounds very reliable, and it suddenly opens the door to a new world for Kyogoku Takahiro!
"My son really has the style of our ancestors, and the Kyogoku family is expected to revitalize! There is hope for revitalization!" Kyogoku Takahiro said that Mochikiyo is the leader of the Kyogoku family, and monopolizes the position of head of the shogunate. Kyogoku Mochikiyo for 20 years.
After the death of Kyogoku Chikiyo, internal strife broke out between Kyogoku Kiyo and Kyogoku Politics. The Kyogoku family declined until it became a salted fish in Omi. If Kyogoku Mochizumi had any knowledge, he might not be able to help but get out of the coffin!
Facts have proved that Master Saburo's proposal is very far-sighted, because Asai Ryomasa is not an easy person to talk to. The envoys sent by Kyogoku Takahiro were unable to mediate the war between the Mitamura family and the Asai family. Asai Ryomasa still went his own way and attacked Mitamura City.
Five days later, Uesaka Castle, a branch of the Mitamura family, was captured by Aguchi Sadashige, the lord of Yamamotoyama Castle, and Mitamura Castle became an isolated city. At the same time, the Kyogoku family reinforcements that Mitamura Tamasa expected were not even seen, and the morale of the Mitamura family fell to the bottom for a while.
At this time, an envoy from the Asai family suddenly appeared in the castle keep of Mita Village.
"Etsuchu Asai, if you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I don't want to entertain the retainers of the Asai family!" Inside the castle, the head of the Mitamura family, Tadayamasa Mitamura, said with disdain.
Sitting in the center of the hall is Asai Ryomasa's younger brother, Asai Etsuchu Moriien, the son of his real father Asai Naoge. Since Asai Ryomasa inherited the clan as the son-in-law of Asai Naomasa, Asai, even though Asai and Asai are related by blood, Liangzheng is a biological brother, but from a family perspective, they are only distant cousins.
The father of Mitamura Tamasa, Mitamura Sadamasa, and Asai Naomasa are brothers, so Mitamura Tamasa and Asai Ryomasa are also real cousins.
However, the relationship between the two cousins has always been average, and now that they are at war with each other, there is naturally no friendship to talk about.
Hearing such an impatient answer from Mitamura Tadayamasa, Asai Ien was not discouraged, but said in a calm tone, "Mitamura-dono, the head of our family, Mr. Ryomasa, and Mitamura-dono are close relatives. We should never meet with swordsmen. Now, I came here to save the life of Mitamura-dono, why did Mitamura-dono treat me like this?"
Mitamura Tadamasa snorted coldly, "What? Asai Ryomasa wants to make peace with my family? That's good, you ask Asai Ryomasa to withdraw his troops, and my family will naturally make a truce with them."
"Is it possible that the Mita Village Palace still can't see clearly the current situation in Kitaomi?" Ien Asai continued, "The lord's reputation is at its peak, and even the Kyogoku family must avoid his influence. And the Kyogoku family is declining day by day. It can be said that Kitaomi has become the main family. The treasure in the Lord’s pocket!”
"If we fight against my family at this time, wouldn't it be like striking an egg against a stone?"
Eren Asai obviously has a good eloquence, and every sentence hits the key points of Mitamura Tamasa.
His heart has moved, and Mitamura Tamasa's original toughness has weakened a bit, "A ceasefire is not impossible, but I believe that Asai Ryomasa will not be so kind and directly withdraw the troops, tell me your conditions!"
Asai Yan calmly took out a document from his arms and handed it to Mitamura Tadamasa, and then said with a smile, "It is said that the son of Mitamura Palace has already entered the Yuan Dynasty. He is about the same age as the second daughter of the family, Osomatsu. It is convenient for both of us to be so valuable." How about getting married?"
"The other condition is to transfer the second city of Uesaka to the family. As compensation, the family is willing to pay an additional 200 kuan to the Mitamura Palace. I wonder what the Mitamura Palace wants?" Ien Asai continued.
"Absolutely impossible!" Mitamura Tamasa refused straight away, joking that Uesaka Castle was the barrier behind Mitamura Castle. If it were handed over to the Asai family like this, then Mitamura Castle would be "favored" by the Asai family as if it had taken off all its clothes. .
As for getting married, that's fine, but his eldest son, Naomasa Mitamura, has already made an engagement. It seems that the only option is to adopt an adopted son from one clan to marry Asai Ryomasa's daughter.
Of course, Mitamura Tamasa's little thoughts are not missing here. After all, surrendering the Asai family was just a temporary measure, and Mitamura Tadamasa would not accept his fate so easily.
