As soon as Kyogoku Takamasa entered Sakata County, he felt an unusual atmosphere in the territory.
When passing through several villages, Kyogoku Takamasa found that the farmers in the villages seemed a little panicked, and some even started to pack up their things and prepare to go out for refuge.
The Rokkaku family's prestige in Omi is at its peak, and their military might is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At least in the eyes of these low-level farmers, Asai Ryomasa, who has been defeated by Rokkaku Sadayori several times, should not be able to defeat the Rokkaku family this time.
In order to avoid being affected by the war, they can only go out for refuge first and then come back after the war is over.
"Young Master, you are finally back!" As soon as they saw Kyogoku Gaozheng, everyone in the palace immediately found their backbone, "This time the Rokkaku family is coming with a menacing attack, and part of my family's leadership will also be affected."
"Besides, the purpose of the Rokkaku family's sending troops is unknown. Although the other party claims that it is to help the main family (Kyogoku Takayoshi) regain lost territory under the banner of Nagato Shou, they are afraid that Rokkaku Sadayori will take advantage of the opportunity after defeating the Asai family. Infiltrate the power into Sakata County. By then the end is done, and there will be nothing we can do to the Rokkaku family!" Seeing the mature and prudent state of the country, the family boss Qian analyzed it to the point.
Kyogoku Takamasa was not panicked at all, because he knew that the Rokkaku family could not win this battle!
This is the advantage of time-travelers. Whenever some big event is going to happen, time-travelers must be unpredictable.
I!
Time traveler!
That’s it!
Not convinced?
Go find the author!
"I already knew that the Rokkaku family sent troops, so I left everything in Takashima County and rushed back all night. Fortunately, the Rokkaku family has not yet entered Sakata County, and our family is not in an absolutely passive situation!" Kyogoku Takamasa said to reassure people, "The Asai family There must be a decisive battle with the Rokkaku family, because the main target of the Rokkaku family's dispatch of troops this time is the Asai family, and there is no possibility of compromise by Asai Ryōsei."
"Now Asai Ryomasa has integrated the wealthy families of Ika and Asai counties. Although the strength is not too strong, it is not without the power to fight!" Kyogoku Takamasa continued, "But if you want to fight against the Rokkaku family, the Asai family is definitely not the best. It will work. At this time, our family must join forces with the Asai family!"
"Join forces?"
"Young master, Asai Ryomasa's generation is so ambitious that he and Asami Tsushimamori (Asami Sadame) jointly launched an attack before, and then repeated it very quickly afterwards! Joining forces with Asai Ryomasa is undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger!" Asami Sadatori's son Asami Sadatune Be the first to speak out.
Although many years have passed, in the eyes of the Asami family, the Asai family is a person with no faith.
While he was talking, a man knelt down on the steps in front of the main hall, "Young Master, someone from the Asai family is coming from Xiaodani City, and they want to see the lord!"
"A member of the Asai family?" Kyogoku Takamasa immediately smiled, "It seems that Asai Ryomasa also knows that the Rokkaku family is definitely not a match for him alone. I want to see what he, Asai Ryomasa, has to say now!"
"Asai's retainer, Dohi Punishment Department's Young Assistant Shinshun, has seen Kyogoku Sakyo enter the palace!"
Dohi Mashun was a little disappointed not to see Kyogoku Takahiro, because the incompetent Kyogoku Takahiro was much easier to deal with than the monster Kyogoku Takamasa in front of him.
"In what capacity did the Young Assistant of the Criminal Department come to Shangheiji Castle this time? As a vassal retainer, or as a traitor to Asai?" Kyogoku Takamasa calmly sat in the main seat and read a book. , without even raising his head.
Doi Zhenshun's mood was a little complicated at this time.
The task assigned to him by Ryomasa Asai was to unite the Kyogoku family against the Rokkaku family. Now that Asai wanted to seek help from Kyogoku, he definitely could not offend the other party.
Forget it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"I come here as a vassal and retainer!" Dohi Shinshun smiled awkwardly but politely. "The land of Omi was originally owned by the Kyogoku family. Many changes occurred in the master's family before, and Asai, Ika and other counties were affected. It fell into chaos. My lord worked tirelessly to manage the territory for his family, which can be said to be hard work and great achievements!"
"This time Rokkaku wants to support Nagato and enter Omi. This is definitely not what Musashi and Daiden (Kyogoku Takahiro) want to see."
"Rokukkaku is strong but Kyoto is extremely weak. Now only the main hall can raise its arms in Omi and we, the people of the country, should respond and unite to fight against Rokkaku! Only in this way can we fight the enemy!"
"If everyone is wise enough to protect themselves, the land of Omi will definitely fall into the hands of Rokkaku!" Tohi Shinshun can be said to be moved by emotion and reason. If Kyogoku Takahiro is here, I am afraid he will be able to hear these words. He immediately mobilized his troops excitedly and ran to fight Rokkaku Sadayori for a fight to the death.
Unfortunately, the person sitting here is Kyogoku Takamasa.
"The Young Assistant of the Ministry of Punishment is very eloquent, but your approach may work for my father, but it won't work for me."
"Neither you nor I are stupid. If I have something to say, I will say it!"
"If you want me to send troops to assist Asai in fighting Rokkaku, you can, but what benefits can I get?"
Dohi Shinshun hesitated for a while, and then said, "Rexagon Bullet Master Bi's plan is very big, and his plan must be the entire Omi area. If the Kyogoku family stands idly by in this battle, then after the defeat of this family, the next step will be We’ve arrived at Kyogoku’s house! Sakyo enters the palace.”
"There is no need to talk about these anymore!" Kyogoku Takamasa interrupted Doi Mashun's words, "My father's duty as guardian of Kitaomi has been recognized by the shogunate and the governor. Are the Rokkaku family willing to risk offending the Hosokawa family and attack the family? "
"Besides, Omi is exhausted, how prosperous it is compared to Kyoto? My father wishes he could leave this place and live in Kyoto forever, being with three or five elegant people every day, and being neighbors with many ministers. Wouldn't he be happy?" Kyogoku Gaomasa said these are his only thoughts. Let me tell Dohi Mashun one thing, that is, the mere Manseki Tomoyuki of Sakata County is completely looked down upon by our Kyogoku family.
The worst thing I can do is give up my territory and go to Kyoto to be at ease!
In the eyes of ordinary martial artists, the ministers of this era were still very high-ranking.
Didn’t you see, Imagawa Yoshimoto, the head of the Imagawa family, the No. 1 bowman of Tokaido, also admires the culture of Kyoto?
I have to say that Kyogoku Takamasa's description was so good that Doi Mashun couldn't help but yearn for such a life. However, for Doi Mashun, these things are a luxury in this life, even if his lord Asai Ryomasa is just trash in Kyoto.
Only famous martial arts families like the Kyogoku family can get along in Kyoto, and the rest of the country bumpkins should forget about it.
However, having said that, the facts put Dohei Shinshun in trouble.
The Kyogoku family's unwillingness to take either soft or hard tactics caught Dohi Shinshun off guard, and Kyogoku's high-ranking and confident appearance also made Dohi Shinshun not dare to take risks easily.
Can we only agree to the other party's request?
Dofei Zhenshun cannot be the master.
It happened to be at this time.
The same person who approached just now appeared in the backyard courtyard again, "Young Master, a messenger from Guanyin Temple City came to ask for an audience with the lord. The person who came claimed to be the guardian of Fujiyama Castle, the foreign affairs officer of the Rokkaku family."
Before Kyogoku Takamasa could reply, Doi Shinshun, who was sitting below, couldn't sit still. He immediately stood up from the ground and looked at Kyogi Takamasa nervously and said, "Sakyo Jin, I don't know what your request is, but you can give it a try!"
Kyogoku Takamasa narrowed his eyes, it seemed that this time his family was going to become the favorite of Asai and Rokkaku.
In this case, if you don't take advantage of the situation, you will be sorry for this amazing assist sent by the Rokkaku family!
