"Yamashiro Mamoru said that very well!"
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly stepped forward and took Shindo Sadaharu's hand, and then said with excitement, "The Asai traitor is trying to conquer Omi, causing trouble for Omi, and this family has suffered greatly!"
"Although I have long wanted to attack Qianjing, the bandits are powerful and my family is not strong enough, so I have not been able to do so! Now that the Hexagonal Bullets and Zheng Shaobi Palace have sent troops to help, how can I not follow suit?"
Kyogoku Takamasa spoke sincerely, and his eyes even showed his hatred for the Asai family without reservation.
Seeing this, Shindo Sadaharu quickly expressed a few words of relief, but felt happy in his heart.
"Hmph! Even if I was lucky enough to defeat Ryomasa Asai, he is still just a child after all. He was moved by me in just a few words! Kyogoku? It's nothing to worry about!" Shindo Sadaharu suddenly felt contemptuous, but he hid it very well. Well, it doesn't show on the face.
Kyogoku Gaozhengnori was still chattering on the side, "Please ask the guardian of the mountain city to report back to Danzheng Shaobi Hall. Our Kyogoku family will do our best in this battle! I only hope that after the war, Danzheng Shaobi Hall can help our family regain the old territory, so as to protect the whole country." Rokkaku and Kyogoku are from the same clan!"
"In this case, I should be very grateful!"
"It's easy to talk!" Shindo Sadaharu naturally responded, "There's just one more thing that I need Sakyou Shin's help with!"
"But there's no harm in talking!"
Shindo Sadaharu nodded, and then said, "The Imai family seems to have the intention to fight against me this time at Jucheng Cage Castle! Minigaura Castle is the strategic point between the north and the south. If I want to attack Asai, I must pass through Minigaura Castle!"
"Although the Imai family is weak, Minigaura Castle is a fortified city. I fear that it will not be captured for a long time! If Asai Ryomasa comes with his army, there will be many variables in the war!"
"I wonder if Sakyo can come into the palace to negotiate with the Imai family and persuade them to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, instead of assisting the tyrants in their evil deeds?"
According to Shindo Sadaharu, the Imai family is the retainer of the Kyogoku family, and they have recently been closely associated with the Kyogoku family. If the Kyogoku family comes to mediate, it will naturally happen.
"You should do your best for small things!" Kyogoku Gaomasa was about to beat his chest loudly, "I will send a letter of resignation to Minega Castle. The results will be available tomorrow at the latest. Yamashiro Shou may as well wait here for a while! "
"That's not necessary. Our troops will arrive at Sakata County around tomorrow! My lord is still waiting for your reply. If there is no objection here, can Sakyo enter the palace and write an oath, so that we can become allies and attack Asai together? "Sadaharu Shindo is a veteran. Although Takamasa Kyogoku talks beautifully, it's better to write down the evidence.
In today's era, oaths between samurai are still very effective. In this era of "righteousness", breaking covenants and oaths will have extremely serious consequences.
At the very least, it may reduce personal credibility and make surrounding forces hostile; at worst, it may even cause siege by other forces.
Kyogoku Takamasa obviously knew this, so he still had some doubts about the oath submitted by Shindo Sadaharu. But then I thought about it and quickly came up with an idea!
Having said that, Kyogoku Takamasa immediately returned to the case and started writing furiously.
Not long after, a chapter of the oath was drafted before the handwriting was dry.
"Rebellious Asai, arrogant and arrogant, committing crimes below and ignoring authority, this family has suffered greatly!"
"Fortunately, the Rokkaku clan of the same clan is now the leader of the Shobi Palace to raise the rebel army to support our family in the fight against the rebels. The Asai clan will naturally fall apart! And my Omi land has no distinction between north and south. All the people who lead the land, young and old, are there to fight against the traitor Asai. Responsibility for bright governance!”
"Write this oath to attack the enemy quickly!"
"The fourth year of Xianglu's reign, the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month (November 7, the beginning of winter)." A monogram is attached at the end.
A fresh oath to defeat the enemy was immediately released, and the words in the article are so thought-provoking that every word is so precious! Even Shindo Sadaharu, who was hiding evil intentions on the side, felt his blood boiling with excitement and wanted to immediately draw his sword and go into battle to kill the enemy.
Just kidding, the words in the oath were plagiarized by Kyogoku Gaozheng's famous sayings from later generations of "outstanding communist underground workers", "founding fathers" and famous micro-manipulation master Chang Kaishen who "went deep behind enemy lines". If it doesn't even have this effect, is it an insult to Chang?
"Omi is so indifferent to north and south. I didn't expect Sakyo Susumu to have such literary talent! As soon as I get this oath, I will reply to my master's orders! When the time comes for the battle with Asai, I will wait for good news!"
"good!"
People in this era are so easy to fool!
Touching the halo of the protagonist on his head, Kyogoku Takamasa felt proud for a moment!
"Oh, by the way, Dohi Mashun hasn't left yet, I almost forgot about him!" When he remembered that Dohi Mashun still hadn't left, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly asked someone to bring Dohi Mashun in again.
"Don't worry, Young Assistant of the Criminal Department, the Rokkaku family has been dismissed by me with just a few words!" Seeing the worried look on Dohi Mashun's face, Kyogoku Gaomasa quickly spoke out to comfort him.
Doi Mashun felt a little relieved. After all, Shindo Sadaharu entered the city less than a quarter of an hour ago, so he couldn't have reached anything, right?
"Young Master of the Criminal Department, if you are at ease, you can return to the defensive position. We, the Kyogoku family, should fight the enemy together with Asai in this battle! The land of Omi belongs to me, Kyogoku, how can we allow Rokkaku to interfere with it?"
"Even if the Asai people did betray our family before, as they are our retainers, even if they want to attack, it is not the Rokkaku family's turn to overthrow them!" Kyogoku Takamasa said with a look in his eyes, very arrogantly.
Even though he was disdainful, Dohi Mashun still pretended to be grateful and saluted Kyogoku Takamasa, "Thank you Sakyou Susumu, I will naturally tell you what to say!"
As for the Asai family, there is no need for Kyogoku Takamasa to write any oath. Because once the oath is written, it is equivalent to putting the Asai family on the same status as the Kyogoku family, and it is equivalent to recognizing the "independence" of the Asai family, so it is impossible to write any written evidence.
Similarly, for the Asai family, without the constraints of the oath, it is questionable whether the promises made by the Kyogoku family to send troops were actually fulfilled afterwards.
In short, no matter what, Doi Mashun and Shindo Sadaharu returned home satisfied with the results they wanted.
As for Kyogoku Takamasa, he had more important things to do at this time.
"Pass my order to immediately mobilize the troops in your territory to assemble in Shangping Temple City!"
"Shin'emon-den (Asami Kokusuke) is responsible for military food supply and is fully responsible for allocating the food and grass needed for the battle. Uncle-sama sits at the headquarters and strictly guards the city. The war will not stop day by day, and the city must not be lost!"
"Also send this letter to the Kamisaka Minbubu, Anyangji Saburozaemon, Shimosaka Shirozaemon, and Mita Muraemon!"
"As for the Imai family's request for me to send troops, Mitsui-sama will personally go to Minigaura Castle to explain the interests to Imai Bichu and ask the Imai family to abandon Minigaura Castle!"
Inside the castle, the high-ranking generals and retainers of Kyogoku announced orders.
"Young Master, Minai City is the stronghold of the Imai family, I'm afraid they won't abandon it!" Mitsui Chengzuna hesitated.
"Although Minigaura Castle is strong, it cannot be used as a force for Rokkaku's army. The castle is just a useless sacrifice. Only by surrendering Miga Castle to the Rokkaku family will Rokkaku Sadayori continue to send troops north to fight against the Asai family without any scruples. In this way Only I can watch the fire from the other side!"
"Won't my family participate in this battle?" Asami Sadatsuki said in confusion.
Kyogoku Gaozheng mobilized troops in such a vigorous manner, and looked like he was going to fight a big war. But now he had to stand by and watch, Qian Jian Zhensuke didn't quite understand.
Kyogoku Takamasa smiled, "Asai and Rokkaku are our enemies, and helping either of them is beneficial to our family! I have my own plans for this battle, so you can just act according to the plan!"
"ha!"
