Facts have proved that such a thing as the protagonist's halo still exists.
Kyogoku Hidetsuna didn't make any substantial progress when he went to Mino. It's not that Toki Yoritake was unwilling, but Kyogoku Hidetsuna didn't see Toki Yoritake at all!
Several consecutive civil strifes turned the entire Meinong into chaos.
Although Toki Yaitake defeated Toki Yaiun, he was unable to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the family. There were many people who supported Toki Yaiun among his retainers. Two years ago, Toki Noriyun once again captured Fukukokan to confront Toki Noritake, but Toki Noritake had no way to do anything about it.
This time when Kyogoku Hidetsuna went to Mino, it happened that Toki Yoritake sent troops to fight against Toki Yoriun, so he was in vain and had to return in frustration.
Kyogoku Hidetsuna's unsuccessful return made some people happy and others worried.
Kyogoku Takamasa was secretly glad that he had not fallen into the pit dug by Kyogoku Takahiro, but Kyogoku Takahiro was worried about which force he should marry!
Today, the Kyogoku family only controls half of the territory of Sakata County, and Shi Gao can only survive with about 20,000 koku. Among the surrounding forces, none of Asai, Rokkaku, and Toki could afford to be offended by the Kyogoku family.
In other words, the Kyogoku family would not be able to survive in such troubled times if they did not find an ally to support them.
Just when Kyogoku Takahiro had a headache, a servant came over and said, "My lord, there is a messenger asking to see you."
Kashiwahara Castle, inside the Kyogoku Annex.
Kyogoku Takahiro and Kyogoku Takamasa stared at the envoy in the palace without saying a word. Kyogoku Hidetsuna and Kyogoku Takasho did not dare to make a sound. The atmosphere in the palace was a bit depressing.
"Kyogoku-don, this letter is personally written by my lord, please take a look at it!" The messenger is a thin man in his thirties, wearing a decent hunting suit, giving people a very capable impression.
Kyogoku Takahiro took the letter with a solemn expression.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Kyogoku Takahiro said, "Is Ukyo Daifu-don finally going to fight back! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Hearing Kyogoku Takahiro's words, the messenger smiled softly, "Musashi Mamoru did not disappoint my lord!"
"Yes, since the Battle of Katsuragigahara two years ago, the lord and the shogun retreated to Omi and have been looking for opportunities to re-enter Kyoto!"
"And now, the opportunity has finally come!" The messenger clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Miyoshi Chikuzenmori and Yanagimoto Danmasadasa are at odds with each other and have retreated to Awa!"
"With the loss of the Miyoshi family, the strength of Hosokawa Rokuro's side has been greatly reduced. This is a great opportunity for us to counterattack!"
"My lord has received the support of Asakura Danshozaemon, the head of the Echizen Asakura family, and is scheduled to go out to Kyoto next year! I came to your place this time to convey my lord's intention and ask Kyogoku-don to go out with him. of!"
The visitor's name was Nakamura Saburo, a retainer in charge of Hosokawa Takaguo.
Hosokawa Takakuni originally dominated recent times and enjoyed great success. However, because he listened to the slander of his younger brother Hosokawa Yinxian, he killed the important minister Konishi Motomori, which triggered a civil strife.
Two of Konishi Motomori's brothers were powerful retainers within the Hosokawa family. One was Hatano Aizomichi of Tamba, and the other was Kenji Yanagimoto.
Hatano Inemichi and Yanagimoto Kenji directly started a rebellion in the Hosokawa family and defeated Hosokawa Takakuni's pursuit army at Kamioyama Castle. For a moment, Hosokawa Takakuni was unable to do anything against Hatano Aimichi and the others.
And after seeing that the overlord who controlled Kinei, Hosokawa Takakuni, was actually a powerful foreigner and a powerful internal leader, Miyoshi Motonaga, the head of Awa's Miyoshi family, couldn't sit still. He immediately sent troops to respond to Hatano Inemichi and the two, and joined forces with them to support Hosokawa Rokuro, the son of Hosokawa Sumitomo.
Rokuro Hosokawa is Harumoto Hosokawa.
At that time, Hosokawa Sumitomo and Hosokawa Takakuni fought and were defeated and killed. Rokuro Hosokawa, who was only seven years old, succeeded to the throne and has been living in Awa.
Hosokawa Takakuni and Hosokawa Rokuro had a grudge for killing their father, and with the support of Miyoshi Gencho and others, Hosokawa Rokuro did not give Hosokawa Takakuni any chance at all, and a joint battle broke out between the two sides in Katsuragigahara.
In the end, Hosokawa Takakuni was defeated and fled to Omi along with Ashikaga Yoshiharu. Rokuro Hosokawa, Gencho Miyoshi and others established Ashikaga Yoshimi, known as "Sakai Lord" in Sakai, and began to exercise the power of the general in place of Ashikaga Yoshiharu.
After defeating Hosokawa Takakuni and taking control of several nearby areas, Hosokawa Rokuro's group had a dispute over the distribution of benefits.
And Rokuro Hosokawa was only fourteen or fifteen years old at this time, and he was at an ignorant age. He believed Kenji Yanagimoto's slander and made his "friend in need" Miyoshi Motocho run away in anger!
Miyoshi Motocho is an important force in Hosokawa Rokuro's side. Without the resistance of Miyoshi's family, the strength of Hosokawa Rokuro's side naturally plummeted. This also allowed Hosokawa Takakuni, who was determined to make a comeback, to see an opportunity, so he prepared to start a coup. Wave thing!
Saburo Nakamura came to the Kyogoku family on the orders of Hosokawa Takakuni. Although the Kyogoku family's strength is really not enough, with the name of the Kyogoku family, it is also very good to come and wave the flag to build a strong momentum. .
The relationship between the Kyogoku family and the Hosokawa family is not bad and they are old friends. During the Yingren Rebellion, everyone belonged to the Eastern Army camp.
Although Kyogoku Takahiro was on the side of the Western Army at the time, Kyogoku Takahiro and Kyogoku HD were in an opposing state at this time, so this did not matter at all.
"I'm already aware of this matter. Please rest assured, Ukyo-dono, my family is naturally on the side of Ukyo-dono!" Kyogoku Takahiro said with determination.
Nakamura Saburo nodded with satisfaction, handed over the gifts he carried to Kyogoku Takahiro, and left Shangheiji Castle.
After Nakamura Saburo left, Kyogoku Takamasa frowned and said to Kyogoku Takahiro, "Father, do we really want to side with Ukyo Daifu-den and fight against Hosokawa Rokuro-den?"
"Alas" Kyogoku Takahiro knew Kyogoku Takamasa would ask this, so he sighed and said helplessly, "What can I do if two strong men are fighting against each other?"
"In fact, Hosokawa Rokuroden sent someone to deliver a petition three days ago, hoping that our family can side with Sakai Kōfōden!"
"I also replied to Hosokawa Rokuro-dono just like I did to Nakamura Saburo."
Kyogoku Takamasa said with a speechless expression, "In other words, in the confrontation between Hosokawa Rokuro-den and Ukyo Daifu-den, my family is actually trying to please both sides?"
"Although the words sound a little harsh, it is indeed the case." Kyogoku Takahiro nodded and said.
"Then if the two sides go to war, how will our family deal with it?" It's okay to please both sides, but if the two sides fight, the Kyogoku family will always have something to say, right?
Kyogoku Takahiro lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then replied, "Just say that I am ill and unable to go out. Let's wait until the situation becomes clear before making any plans!"
I wipe it!
Kyogoku Takamasa really wants to take a look at Kyogoku Takahiro's brain. How much dregs must be contained in it to be so mentally retarded?
Is this Shi Lezhi?
Even if you want to be a wallflower, even if you want to ride on the wall, you can't ride like this!
The end result of trying to please both sides is often the result of not trying to please both sides!
When the fight really breaks out, if you, the Kyogoku family, show no sign, then you are equivalent to breaking the trust of both Hosokawa Rokuro and Hosokawa Takakuni at the same time. No matter which side wins, it will have nothing to do with your Kyogoku family. !
Since you, the Kyogoku family, did not contribute, why should I share the fruits of victory with you afterwards?
