After the defeat of Hosokawa Takaguo, Hosokawa Harumoto quickly took control of the Hosokawa family.
First, he naturally inherited the position of head of the Hosokawa family, and then supported Ashikaga Yoshivi to form the ???jiaojiaojiajiaojiaojiajiaojiaojiajiaojiaojiaojiaojiajiaojiajiaojiaojiajiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiu Family
However, it is the opinion of Miyoshi Motocho and others to support Ashikaga Yoshiki. From the bottom of his heart, Hosokawa Harumoto prefers the "orthodox" Ashikaga Yoshiharu.
Hosokawa Harumoto wanted to restore peace with Ashikaga Yoshiharu, but Miyoshi Genchang refused to do so, and the two sides were in a stalemate for this reason.
However, these disputes were not enough to cause chaos in the Hosokawa family at this time.
At the same time, Hosokawa Harumoto's reputation in Kinnei was rising day by day, and people from all walks of life began to pay allegiance to Hosokawa Harumoto, including one person-Kizawa Nagamasa.
This guy was originally a retainer of the Shan family, but he always wanted to work alone. As early as when Hosokawa Harumoto and Hosokawa Takakuni were fighting, they clearly sided with Hosokawa Harumoto.
However, Hosokawa Takakuni's side was at an advantage at first, and Kizawa Nagamasa saw that the situation was not going well, so he simply abandoned his stall and ran away. When Hosokawa Harumoto won the battle, he ran back licking his face.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between Kizawa Nagamasa and Hosokawa Harumoto is against the law, because Kizawa Nagamasa is a retainer of Kayama, and the relationship between Kizawa Nagamasa and Hosokawa Harumoto is already considered "internal and external".
Because Kizawa Nagamasa was very powerful at home, even surpassing the head of the family, the Yama clan (Iyama Giyao), this aroused the dissatisfaction of Yamagi Yao.
So Shan Yiyao found Sanhao Yuanchang, hoping that Sanhao Yuanchang could provide help.
Miyoshi Motocho was also extremely dissatisfied with Kizawa Nagamasa's actions, and he also wanted to let Hosokawa Harumoto know "Who is the near? Zuke Misaki? Naomei Shubao?? Mi? ち⒖tanayekomasa ふ?⑵鹆斯ナ beer
Kizawa Nagamasa was no match for Miyoshi Gencho, and he was soon beaten to a bruised face.
However, the Miyoshi family is not monolithic. At least Miyoshi Genchang's uncle, Miyoshi Masinaga, is extremely dissatisfied with the authoritarian Miyoshi Genchang. As a result, Prime Minister Miyoshi secretly slandered Hosokawa Harumoto, causing the relationship between Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Prime Minister to continue to deteriorate until it is irreconcilable today.
In addition, Miyoshi Genchang himself was a bit "arrogant" and ignored Hosokawa Harumoto's wishes in various ways. He even sent troops to attack Yanagimoto's home city Sanjo Castle and captured Yanagimoto Kenjiro's son Yanagimoto Shinjiro.
If Hosokawa Mototaka hadn't made peace with him, the two of them would have started fighting.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Miyoshi Gencho and even wanted to get rid of him quickly, Hosokawa Harumoto had very few troops at his disposal and was no match for Miyoshi Gencho. This was why Hosokawa Harumoto could not tolerate it. The reason for today.
"If we want to attack Miyoshi Chikuzenshu, who can give me ten victory and ten defeats?" Hosokawa Harumoto looked at the retainers in the palace with a disappointed look. At this time, he suddenly missed Kyogoku Takamasa. .
The Hosokawa family has been discussing within the Hosokawa family for almost half a month about using troops against Miyoshi Genchang, but they still have no clue. Whenever Hosokawa Harumoto asked his retainers for specific methods and measures, everyone would blame each other and could not come up with any practical solutions at all.
If Kyogoku Takamasa were here, he would surely give me a useful suggestion, right?
"Kimori, you have always been mature and prudent. Do you have any good ideas?" Hosokawa Harumoto set his sights on Hosokawa Mototaka, who was sitting in the first place.
Hosokawa Mochitaka lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Hosokawa Harumoto.
Hosokawa Harumoto turned his head and looked at Kōnishi Motosada on the other side, "Echigomori has long been here? Qi, you should know something about Miyoshi Chikuzenmori. Is there anything you can teach me?"
Xiangxi Yuanding was the head of the Xiangxi family. He took over the position of head of the family after Xiangxi Yuansheng was killed.
Seeing that Hosokawa Harumoto posed the question to him, Konishi Motosada could only continue to remain silent.
In fact, this is a manifestation of the weakness of Hosokawa Harumoto's regime.
Hosokawa Harumoto dominated Kinai in history, initially relying on the support of the Miyoshi family, and then relying on the remaining power of the Hosokawa family. But after the rise of Miyoshi Nagakei, Hosokawa Harumoto was completely unable to resist.
The reason is that Hosokawa Harumoto doesn't have any trump cards.
Just like now, we are watching Miyoshi Motonaga doing something, but a group of people from the Hosokawa family can only sit here, helpless.
I want to fight, but how to fight and who will fight are all issues that need to be solved.
"Lord, I may have a plan!"
Suddenly, a voice broke the original silence. Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who spoke was Ibaraki Shitaka from Settsu Kingdom.
Ibaraki Nagataka has now become a leader within the Hosokawa family. After the death of Kenji Yanagimoto, he gradually became the flag-bearer of the Settsu people, and dominated the Settsu people as the official of the Hosokawa family.
"It's okay to say it, Iga Mamoru!"
"Ha!" Ibaraki Shigaraki organized his words, and then said, "Most of our capable soldiers are supported by Miyoshi Chikuzenshu. If we only use our own strength, we may not be able to eliminate Miyoshi Chikuzenshu."
"There is only one person in Kinkinai who has the same strength as Miyoshi Chikuzenmori!"
"who?"
"people!"
"People?" Hosokawa Harumoto suddenly felt confused.
Ibaraki Shitaka did not sell out, and continued to explain, "The people I am talking about are the Ichikui. In recent years, the Ichiko sect has become more and more influential in the Kinai, and it has a tendency to overshadow other sects."
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get the help of Xiang Zongxiang to instigate Yikui with various places in the Kinei, and then use Yikui to attack Sanhao Jianqian?"
Ibaraki Shitaka's words seemed to have opened a new door for Hosokawa Harumoto. It turned out that it was still possible to play like this?
"But how can we persuade Yixiang Zong to take action?"
"There is a serious conflict between the Yixiang Sect and the Hokage Sect. This is a well-known fact in the prefecture. Miyoshi Chikuzenshou has protected the Fahua Sect and suppressed the Yixiang Sect many times before. It is impossible for the Yixiang Sect to be unaware of it."
"This time Yi Xiang Zong and our family join forces, it is a win-win situation."
"As far as our family is concerned, we need to rely on the power of the Ichigo clan to fight against the Miyoshi Chikuzen garrison in order to break the siege of Iimori Mountain Castle."
"For Yi Xiangzong, this incident can be used to weaken the influence and strength of the Fahua Sect in the region."
"So, this is a proposal that Ichigo-song cannot refuse!" Ibaraki Shitaka said confidently.
After hearing this, Hosokawa Harumoto had a rough idea. He quickly straightened his posture and looked around at the retainers in the palace, "What do you think of Iga Mamoru's words?"
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then there was a burst of echoing voices.
Just kidding, I can’t come up with any feasible suggestions. Now Ibaraki Shigaraka has come out to be the leader, and he doesn't have to take the blame if something goes wrong. How can anyone object...
"Well!"
Seeing that there was no objection, Hosokawa Harumoto began to give the order, "Then Iga Mamoru will go to Yamashina Honganji Temple to negotiate with the Ichikou Sect."
"As for the others, be ready to go out! Once the momentum comes together, immediately send troops to Iimori Mountain Castle!" Hosokawa Harumoto said excitedly with his hands clenched in fists.
