Yoshimi Masakune continued: "Previously, the Ichixiang Sect suffered a lot of losses in various places, but there was no large-scale Ichixiang Sect outbreak in Omi, so the Ichixiang Sect's strength in Omi was not damaged!"
"With the help of Nagashima Honganji Temple, you can imagine the scale of this event!"
"I can already foresee the scene where the overwhelming number of people are causing chaos in the Kyogoku family territory. Let's see how Kyogoku Gaozheng will deal with it then!"
"Not bad!" Takeda Nobutoyo, who was on the throne, also praised aloud at this time: "Suruga Mamoru and Uenosuke are my Wakasa twins. This time, I have nothing to worry about since you two are making plans!"
"Having said that, the Rokkaku family and Honganji are still uncertain factors. I think the most important thing for me to do now is to actively encircle Gozeyama Castle to prevent the Kuriya family and Kyogoku family from joining forces to attack!"
"Naitokan can hold off the Kyogoku family for a while, but it won't be able to hold on for a few days after all!" In the imperial palace, Yamagata Shinobu suddenly said.
After hearing what Yamagata Shengxin said, Yoshimi Masakune, Muto Tomoe and others all turned their attention to Yamagata Shengxin.
Yamagata Shengxin, Yoshimi Masakune and Muto Tomoe were not very familiar with each other, but they only knew that Takeda Motomitsu had such a son. However, Yamagata Shengxin inherited the five thousand stone Tomoe from the Yamagata family and was considered a powerful lord of a city in Wakasa country, so the two of them did not look down upon him too much.
"Shimonosuke-den is right, the Cage Castle of Goze Mountain Castle is our top priority!"
"I have already ordered my retainers to transport the military supplies and equipment from Suidaoshan Castle to Gozeyama Castle. If nothing else goes wrong, they will be delivered tomorrow!"
"We will deploy all our troops in Houze Mountain Castle. With the topography of Houze Mountain Castle and sufficient military rations, we can hold on for several years even if tens of thousands of troops besiege the city!"
"No matter how powerful the Kyogoku family is, what can they do?" Masakune Yoshimi and Tomoe Muto looked at each other, and the two smiled at each other.
Due to Takeda Nobutoyo's inaction, the entire assessment became the sole responsibility of Masakune Yoshimi and Tomomi Muto. As for the other retainers, they were the only two who followed suit. Although Takeda Gendo and Yamagata Morinobu and other members of the clan were dissatisfied, they had nothing to do.
After the assessment, Yoshimi Masakune and Muto Tomoe quickly took over the defense of Gozeyama Castle.
Both Otemon and Katemon were replaced by troops from the two families. As for the troops of Yamagata Shengnobu, Takeda Gendo and others, they were placed in Higashikawa Lun and Soimaruchi.
The entire Goze Mountain Castle is completely under the control of Masakune Yoshimi and Tomomi Muto.
.......
Gozeyama Castle, inside the Takeda clan mansion.
Takeda Gendo sat in the house with a glum look on his face, drinking sullen wine. Regarding the current situation of the Takeda family, Takeda Gendo also felt deeply powerless.
Motomitsu Takeda died at the wrong time, leaving behind a lot of mess, and his successor Nobutoyo Takeda was such a loser.
The future of the Takeda family is bleak!
"My lord, I would like to see you at Yama Prefecture's Uenosuke-den!" Just as Takeda Gento finished drinking the sake in the pot, a young man knelt on the porch outside Yashiki and said.
"Let him in!"
Soon, Shanxian Shengxin walked in barefoot from outside.
"It seems that my uncle is also very dissatisfied with today's events!" Yamagata Shengxin sat on the floor opposite Takeda Gento, then picked up an empty wine plate from the table and placed it in front of him, and then picked up an empty wine dish from behind him. He took a pot of wine from a pile of wine bottles and poured it for himself and Takeda Gendo.
Takeda Gento drank the wine in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said: "Suruga Mamoru and Uenosuke are too arrogant. Now that these two have full control over everything in the city, important family ministers like you and me actually interfere. Don’t get started!”
"This is really unreasonable!" Takeda Yuando slammed the wine plate in his hand on the table, venting his anger.
Yamagata Shengxin also sighed and said: "Now our family still needs to rely on the efforts of the Itami clan and the Muto clan. The troops of Muto Uenosuke occupy seventy-eight percent of the troops in Gozeyama Castle. In this matter, we also It’s really impossible to take back the initiative.”
"What I'm worried about is that the Yoshimi family and the Muto family are also people with evil intentions. If I hadn't been in charge of the power in the family now, wouldn't the Lord's character be eaten up by them?"
"Since the death of my brother, there have been many conflicts in the family! With the master's ability, he is really not the one who can integrate the family!"
"Among my brothers, the one I value the most is Uenosuke. Your character is exactly the same as your father!"
"It's a pity that you are just a concubine, otherwise..."
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. The more we talk about it, the more annoying it becomes! Come on, let me get drunk with Nosuke!"
"drink!"
........
Walking out of the Takeda Clan drunkenly, Yamagata Shengnobu came to a samurai longhouse in Higashikawa Lun. This was Yamagata Shengnobu's residence in Goze Mountain Castle.
As soon as he opened the door, Shanxian Shengxin noticed something strange.
It seems like someone has come into his room!
"Who is it?" When he said this, Shanxian Shengxin's hand had already quietly touched the handle of the knife.
"Master Shanxian, don't be nervous. I don't mean any harm. I'm just here to deliver a letter to Master Shanxian!" A man suddenly walked out of the darkness of the room.
"I recognize you, you are from the Kyogoku family!" Yamagata Shengxin looked at the person's appearance carefully and then said, but the hand on the handle of the knife was slowly lowered.
Seeing Yamagata Morinobu's actions, Yamaoka Inuhachiro smiled slightly, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yamagata Morinobu's hand.
"This is the handwriting written by the villain Sakyo Kyogoku when he entered the palace. If Mr. Yamaxian is interested after reading it, you can look for a monk named Shun Lian at the exchange two miles outside the city tomorrow morning!"
"Master Shunlian will tell you the specific things!"
"The letter has been delivered, I say goodbye!" After saying that, Yamaoka Inuhachiro opened the door and quickly disappeared into the night.
Shanxian Shengxin came to the back room and opened the letter. After a brief glance, his expression suddenly changed.
After reading the letter patiently, Shanxian Shengxin quickly placed the letter on the candle and lit it.
After seeing that the letter paper was completely burned, Shanxian Shengxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Outside the city exchange, Shunlian..."
That night, Shanxian Shengxin lay on the tatami, tossing and turning at night and unable to sleep.
Shanxian Shengxin felt particularly agitated when he thought of the contents of the letter.
In such a complicated mood, daybreak came.
With a tired look on his face, Yamagata Shengxin got up from the tatami and went out wearing casual clothes.
Although Goze Yama Castle has been closed, it is still very easy for Yamagata Shengxin to get out of the city.
"Sir Shanxian, what are you doing out of the city at this time?" At Otote Gate, Shanxian Shengxin was just about to walk out of the city gate when he suddenly remembered Yijian Changjing's voice behind him.
Shanxian Shengxin paused, then turned around and said with a smile: "I'm a little bored, let's go out of the city to relax!"
"Master Yamagata is going out of the city alone. I'm afraid it might be a bit dangerous. How about I send a team of Ashigaru to accompany me?"
"Thank you Suruga Mamoru for your kindness. Gozeyama Castle is our family's hinterland, so what's the danger?"
"Besides, I'm just walking around Goze Mountain Castle, nothing will happen to me!" How dare Shanxian Shengxin, who has a guilty conscience, accept Masakune Yoshimi's proposal.
Yijian Changjing didn't think much about it, and Jianshan County Shengxin didn't appreciate it, so he didn't say anything more.
