Kyogoku Takamasa seems to know the reason why the Kyogoku family has been mixed up and disappeared in history. Kyogoku Takahiro's consecutive operations are completely incomprehensible!
"Saburo seems to have objections to our family's decision?" Noticing that something was wrong with Kyogoku Takamasa's face, Kyogoku Takahiro hurriedly asked.
Kyogoku Takamasa’s performance is seen by Kyogoku Takahiro, and he also relies heavily on his son Kyogoku Takahiro, so in this matter, Kyogoku Takahiro is also prepared to listen to Kyogoku Takamasa’s opinion. .
Kyogoku Takamasa not only has an opinion, but this opinion is even bigger!
"Father, what if the situation is deadlocked?"
"What will be the situation of our family then?"
Kyogoku Takamasa's words put Kyogoku Takahiro in a dilemma and he didn't know how to answer. In other words, Kyogoku Takahiro has never considered such a situation at all.
In Kyogoku Takahiro's expectation, the Kyogoku family would please both sides first, and let Hosokawa Rokuro and Hosokawa Takakuni fight first. When the time comes, we will support whichever side wins, so that the Kyogoku family can be invincible.
However, let’s not put aside whether Kyogoku Takahiro’s idea is feasible or not. Simply put, if the war continues to stalemate, wouldn't the Kyogoku family be in an embarrassing situation?
"Father, once the war reaches a stalemate, my family's situation will become even more difficult!"
"Let me ask, between the Hosokawa Rokuroden and the Hosokawa Ukyo Daifuden, there is a head family that neither belongs to the Hosokawa Rokuroden side nor the Ukyo Daifu house side. What will happen to the forces surrounding the head family?" Kyogoku? Gao Zheng asked.
"But my family has already agreed to send troops in advance!" Kyogoku Takahiro argued.
Kyogoku Takamasa was completely convinced, "Even so, this is just a private promise. As long as my family does not actually send troops for one day, then it does not belong to any party!"
"Once the two sides fight, our family will be caught in the middle, and we will be attacked from both sides! At that time, neither Hosokawa Rokuro-den nor Hosokawa Ukyo-den will be our back-up!"
"How will this family respond?"
Kyogoku Takamasa's words exploded in Kyogoku Takahiro's heart like a bolt from the blue.
Kyogoku Takahiro started to panic, "Then how about we send troops to support Hosokawa Rokuroden?"
"Although Ukyo Daifu-den is supported by the Asakura family, Hosokawa Rokuro-den's side is not weak at all. It seems that Hosokawa Rokuro-den's side has a better chance of winning!"
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Kyogoku Takahiro's decision is still correct. Because in history it was indeed Hosokawa Rokuro's side who won the victory, killing Takakuni Hosokawa and becoming the new overlord of Japan.
"But father, although my family is on the side of Hosokawa Rokuroden, how many of Omi's forces are in the same camp as my family?"
"No!" Before Kyogoku Takahiro could answer, Kyogoku Takamasa said in a deep voice, "The Asai family and the Asakura family are allies. Since the Asakura family supports Dr. Hosokawa Ukyo, then the Asai family will naturally also stand in the hall of Dr. Ukyo." One party!"
"The Rokkaku family of Minami Omi, together with the Ukyo Daifu-den, supported the shogun. The Hosokawa Rokuro-den side supported the Sakai family. The two families are natural enemies, so naturally they cannot stand together!"
"In this way, both the Asai family and the Rokkaku family in Omi belong to the Ukyo Daifu-den side, but this family is the only one who stands on the Hosokawa Rokuro-den side!"
"When the fight breaks out, are you sure that Father will be able to block the attacks from the Rokkaku and Asai families?"
After Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, Kyogoku Takahiro was already sweating profusely.
To be honest, if Kyogoku Takahiro were to participate in some kind of renge party, arty or something like that, he might even become the best among them. But asking Kyogoku Takahiro to consider these important matters of family and country, isn't this just rushing the ducks to the shelves?
"Then I will support Ukyo Daifu-den, how about sending troops to Luo?" Since supporting Hosokawa Rokuro is not feasible, then support Hosokawa Takakuni, Kyogoku Takahiro thought in his mind.
This is true, but Kyogoku Takamasa knew who had the final say in the relationship between Hosokawa Takakuni and Hosokawa Rokuro in history, so how could he still let Kyogoku Takahiro run to support Hosokawa Takakuni? ?
"But as my father said at the beginning, Hosokawa Rokuroden's side is stronger than Ukyo Daifuden in terms of influence and strength!"
"I also think that Hosokawa Rokuro-don has a better chance of winning. If he supports Ukyo-dofu-don, it will be a disaster for our family!"
Come on, I can’t support this, and I can’t support that. Kyogoku Takahiro is about to collapse.
"So in your opinion, how should our family deal with the current problem?" Kyogoku Takahiro simply kicked the ball to Kyogoku Takamasa, went back to drink, and seemed to give up.
Generally speaking, when faced with such a situation, the most common response is to "separate the family."
For example, Kyogoku Takahiro supports Hosokawa Harumoto, and Kyogoku Takayoshi supports Hosokawa Takakuni. In this way, no matter which side is defeated, the Kyogoku family can continue. This was a very common thing at the time.
But Kyogoku Takamasa doesn't want to do this, because Kyogoku Takamasa has a foresight of history, and naturally he will not follow the trend of using such a strategy.
"I think that my family can build the plank road openly and use it secretly!"
"Build the plank road in the open, use the warehouse in secret? It's not interesting, it seems to be a Ming Dynasty saying." Kyogoku Takahiro has heard of this sentence, but only heard it. As for what Kyogoku Takamasa wants to express It's not clear.
Kyogoku Takamasa went on to say, "My family can openly support Ukyo Dafudono, so as to eliminate the hostility between the Asai family and the Rokkaku family, so that my family can have no worries for the time being."
"Then we sent people privately to negotiate with Hosokawa Rokurodon, explaining our family's difficulties and showing our determination to stand firmly on Hosokawa Rokurodon's side!"
"At the same time, I promise that once the two sides start a war, I will definitely switch sides and attack!"
"Only in this way can our family survive the chaos that has swept through Japan." Kyogoku Takamasa said firmly.
After listening to Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Kyogoku Takahiro fell into deep thought, "But, how do we gain the trust of Hosokawa Rokuroden?"
"I am willing to go to Sakai as an envoy to negotiate with Hosokawa Rokuroden. I also ask my grandmother and mother to accompany me!"
Kyogoku Takahiro's eyes suddenly shrank, "Could it be that Saburo wants your mother and grandmother to go to Sakai as hostages?"
"good!"
"But what about the risks? What if, I mean what if, what if Hosokawa Rokuroden is defeated?"
"Then Aqin and mother are not in danger?"
"Don't worry, father, I will be able to protect my mother and grandmother and return them safely!"
""
"Then as you said, I'm tired, you can go down first."
In the annex, Kyogoku Takahiro stared at the cypress fan in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Kyogoku Takamasa walked out of the annex, followed by Kyogoku Hidetsuna and Kyogoku Takasatsu.
"Sanlang-don, do we really want to join the war?" Kyogoku Takasatsu asked worriedly.
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded helplessly, "Our family is weak, so this is a last resort. If you want to protect your family name, you must participate!"
"But don't worry, one day I, the Kyogoku family, will also be able to influence the world's situation, instead of just following the crowd and becoming a participant!"
Under the sun, Kyogoku Takamasa's body seemed to be shrouded in a circle of dazzling light
