Time flies to June of the fifth year of Xianglu.
Kyogoku Takamasa worked hard to develop the territory of Takashima County and had completely controlled the villages in the northern part of Takashima County. The Rokkaku family in Minami Omi and the Asai family in North Omi have calmed down a bit after last year's war. Generally speaking, the situation in Omi is relatively stable.
But Hanoi Country, not far from Omi, can be said to be quite lively at this time.
Under the secret instigation of Hosokawa Harumoto, the Honganji Temple finally took action. The leader of the Honganji Temple, Shinyo, personally led the troops and sent troops from the base camp of the Sanshina Honganji Temple to the Iimori Mountain Castle in Hanoi. During this period, disciples of Honganji Temple in Kawachi, Settsu, Izumi and other places all responded. In just a few days, Honganji Temple gathered an army of 30,000 people.
At this time, Miyoshi Gencho and Yoshiyama Yoshiyao had no idea about this and were still besieging the precarious Iimori Mountain Castle.
When the 30,000 Honganji army suddenly attacked Miyoshi Gencho from behind, the besieging Miyoshi and Yamake forces were immediately defeated.
Many Miyoshi clan generals, including the Miyoshi Katsu clan, sought death. Hundreds of Miyoshi clan were killed or injured. The leader, Miyoshi Gencho, only led a few people to escape from the siege and fled to Izumi. However, Yoshiyama Yoshiyao died in the pursuit of Honganji Temple.
For a time, the siege of Iimori Mountain Castle was easily solved.
The sudden eruption at Honganji Temple caused a tremor in the Kinai. People from all over the country swarmed and hundreds of thousands of Honganji disciples gathered in a short period of time. Of course, excluding women, children, old and young, there are only thirty or forty thousand soldiers available for battle.
At the same time, Miyoshi Yuan Nagamoto wanted to escape to the country, where his uncle, a member of the gang-legged team, led the army to the north.
Knowing that there was no hope of victory, Miyoshi Motocho immediately committed suicide at Xianhonji Temple at the age of thirty-two.
.....
"Hahahahahaha!"
In Iimoriyama Castle, Kizawa Nagamasa, who had endured all the hardships, couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile.
"Miyoshizuki was so proud of himself that he was defeated and died today. This is actually karma. The boulder that was weighing on our family has finally been moved away!" A Kizawa retainer also said with a laugh.
Kizawa Nagamasa shook his head, his smile not diminishing, "It is gratifying that Miyoshi Chikuzen is dead, but what really makes me happy is the death of Sosuke Yamayama."
"When the general manager on the mountain dies, my family will have the final say over the land of Hanoi. My long-cherished wish finally comes true today, hahahaha!"
As a careerist, Kizawa Nagamasa has always wanted to replace the main family, the Yama family, and has been secretly planning for many years. This time, with the help of Honganji Temple, Yamagiu was killed. The Yama family's power in Hanoi was uprooted, and Kizawa Nagamasa was just around the corner to take control of Hanoi.
"I think that our top priority is to quickly go to the ??? arsenal to recover the enemy!
"This is very true, I will set off now!"
Kizawa Nagamasa naturally knew that if he wanted to control Hanoi, he would need the support of Hosokawa Harumoto.
At the same time, the reef?
"My lord, now Miyoshi Chikuzen and Kazuyama are all defeated, and there is no one in the land of Kinai who can oppose my lord! My lord's power is increasing day by day, which is really gratifying!" Ibaraki Shitaka gave him a very appropriate flattery. .
Hosokawa Harumoto sat in the main seat, feeling very excited.
Although Takakuni Hosokawa was killed before to succeed the head of the Hosokawa family, most of the power in the family was in the hands of Miyoshi Motonaga. Now that Miyoshi Motocho is dead and the Miyoshi family is leaderless, Hosokawa Harumoto is finally able to take full control of the family.
For the eighteen-year-old Hosokawa Harumoto, it can be said that he is high-spirited and full of ambition.
However, someone quickly poured cold water on Hosokawa Harumoto.
"My lord, although Miyoshi Chikuzen is dead, the land of Kinai is no longer under my control!"
"What does Harima Mamoru mean by this?" Hosokawa Harumoto, who was in high spirits, was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Hosokawa Motonsune who spoke with confusion.
Hosokawa Motonsune sighed and continued, "My lord, the Kinai Ichikui is out of control. The Honganji Temple now has a hundred thousand people in the Kinai. Now it has become a force that cannot be lost. If the Ichikui continues to plunder, there may be another accident in the Kinai. ah!"
Hosokawa Harumoto's face changed slightly, and he obviously realized something.
In fact, Honganji Temple is undoubtedly a double-edged sword for Hosokawa Harumoto. Although the dissidents Miyoshi Motocho and Yoyama Giyao were eliminated by relying on the power of Honganji Temple, once the Ichikui broke out, it would be difficult to calm down.
Hosokawa Harumoto and others did not expect at all in advance that the explosion would be so terrifying, and a hundred thousand people would gather in such a short period of time.
Now, Miyoshi Motocho is dead, but what should be done with these people?
Hosokawa Harumoto ran out of ideas for a while.
"Lord, it's not good!"
At this moment, a warrior strode in from outside.
The visitor had a solemn look on his face and knelt down in the center of the hall. He first bowed to Hosokawa Harumoto and then said impatiently, "My lord, Ichikui has completely escaped the control of my family. Currently, a large number of Ichikui troops are marching towards Yamato!" "
"There is also a war breaking out in Yamato. Although Tsutsui, Ochi, Jushi and other countries have sent troops to suppress it, the war situation is very corrupt."
"Ikaku looted Yamato. Many buildings at Kofukuji Temple, the headquarters of Hosho Sect, were destroyed. Even the fish in Sarusawa Pond and the deer kept in Kasuga Taisha Shrine were eaten!"
"What!"
After hearing the warrior's words, everyone in the palace suddenly exclaimed.
Although I knew it would be troublesome to keep silent, I didn't expect the trouble would come so quickly.
Yamato is the territory of Kofukuji Temple, and the person who controls Kofukuji Temple (Hosho Sect) is Yamato who protects the Tsutsui family. I have always warned that if I invade Yamato at this time, I will take advantage of the situation to eliminate the Hosho Sect.
If Honganji really succeeds, Honganji's strength in Kinai will be even more terrifying, and the Hosokawa family will be unable to end it.
"Immediately send an order to Kizawa Sakyou Ryo, asking him to quickly lead his troops to Yamato to assist the Tsutsui family in pacifying Ichiku!" Hosokawa Harumoto immediately issued an order to support Yamato.
"My lord, Yamato Ikku is just the tip of the iceberg. Even if Yamato Ikku is calmed down, what should we do with the Ikku in other parts of the territory?"
Although there is only one riot in Yamato, the entire recent history has been affected.
"Lord, here is a letter from Omi."
Just when Hosokawa Harumoto was at a loss, a man walked up to Hosokawa Harumoto and handed him a letter.
"Omi?"
Hosokawa Harumoto's expression was stunned, but after reading the content of the letter, he suddenly became happy again.
"Hahaha, everyone, I already have a solution on how to calm down the constant criticism!"
"Master, are you serious about what you said?"
Hosokawa Harumoto nodded, raised the letter in his hand and said, "I can't believe that Sakyo Shin, who lives far away in Omi, knows so much about the situation in Kinei. In the letter, Sakyo Shin has already explained how to solve the problem. I think it is very feasible. !”
"Sakyo Jin?"
"Which Sakyo enters?"
"Could it be Kyogoku Sakyo Susumu?"
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
"That's right! It's Kyogoku Sakyoujin!" Hosokawa Harumoto couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration at this time, "The military has some clues, strategizing and winning thousands of miles away! The ancients will not deceive me!"
"My lord, I don't know what Sakyo Jin said in his letter?" Seeing Hosokawa Harumoto's betrayal, the retainers below couldn't wait to ask.
Hosokawa Harumoto shook the letter in his hand, and then...
