"Brother, you are responsible for all this!"
At this time, Yamagata Shengxin did not know when he appeared behind Takeda Nobuntoyo.
"Hikorokuro, why are you here?"
"Wait...could it be you..." Takeda Nobuntoyo was still thinking about how Yamagata Shinobu could stand beside him so well, but soon Takeda Nobuntoyo Then I thought of a terrible possibility.
"That's right!" Shanxian Shengxin nodded slowly, "Before the city fell, I had surrendered to the Kyogoku family."
"I also opened the gate of Goze Mountain Castle for the Kyogoku family!"
"Hahahaha! Let me tell you why Gozeyama Castle was captured by the Kyogoku family. It turns out there is a traitor among us!"
"But Hikorokuro, what good will this do to you?"
"You are a member of the Takeda family, and you share the prosperity and loss of this family! If the Takeda family dies, you will become a catkin in the wind and a rootless person!"
"Without the Takeda family, you are nothing!" Takeda Nobutoyo seemed to pour all the fear and anger in his heart into these few words, shouting hysterically at Yamagata Shengxin.
Yamagata Shengxin stepped forward and pulled up Takeda Nobutoyo who was lying on the ground, and then said calmly: "Brother, you are wrong."
"The Takeda family will not perish, on the contrary, it will regain its glory!"
"In the near future, I will assume the position of head of the Takeda family! I believe that the Takeda family will get better and better in the future!"
Takeda Nobutoyo suddenly shook his head like a rattle, "I don't believe it, but the Kyogoku family would be so kind as to spit out the things in their mouths!"
"You lied to me, right?"
"In fact, this is not only Sakyo's intention to enter the palace, but also the general's decision!"
"Sir General? Are you kidding me? My Lord General and my Takeda family are like brothers, so how can I care about you?"
"Yesterday at noon, when the Kyogoku family and the Kuriya family were plundering the castle town, the shogun's envoy arrived to see the Kyogoku family's main formation and conveyed the shogun's attitude to Sakyo entering the palace."
"The Takeda family has become an abandoned son! Not only did the shogun give up on the family, but Minami Omi's Rokkaku Shobutei also gave up on his brother!"
"Everything I say below is true. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."
If the news of the fall of Gozeyama Castle only shattered Takeda Nobuyo's hope, then the words spoken by Yamagata Shinobu completely trampled Takeda Nobuyo's faith.
It turns out that this world is so complicated?
"puff!"
The blood surged in Takeda Nobuto's chest, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and then he fainted and fell to the ground.
In these few quarters of an hour, the amount of information received was so great that Takeda Nobuntoyo could not accept it for a while.
...........
"how so?"
"Sakyo enters the palace, this is different from what we agreed in advance!" In the palace of Gozeyama Castle, Kuriya Mototaka looked at the imperial book in front of him with an eager face.
Kuriya Gentaka is indeed confused.
When Kyogoku Gaomasa came to Wakasa, the agreement between the two was that the Kyogoku family would assist Kuriya Mototaka in the rebellion. In other words, the Kyogoku family is just a guest army, and the real protagonist should be the Kuriya family, or the puppet Nobutaka Takeda who is supported by the Kuriya family.
Even if Takeda Nobutaka dies, he still has to decide on the new puppet candidate, Kuriya Mototaka.
Even if your Kyogoku family has a suitable candidate, at least discuss it with yourself.
It's better now that the Kyogoku family is directly turning against the guests, leaving aside Kuriya Mototaka and preparing to support Tateyama Prefecture Shengxin. However, Kuriya Gentaka has no friendship with Yamagata Morinobu, and Yamagata Morinobu was supported by the Kyogoku family. In the future, will Yamagata Morinobu listen to the Kyogoku family or the Kuriya family?
Even at this time, Kuriya Mototaka has come to his senses. Did the Kyogoku family have this idea from the beginning?
The Kyogoku family has been gaining momentum in recent years and is in urgent need of external expansion. The Kyogoku family is surrounded by powerful enemies, but Wakasa is the only one who is a bit easier to chew.
Are you trying to lure a wolf into your house?
Kuriya Mototaka suddenly wanted to slap himself. Why didn't he consider the Kyogoku family's motivation for agreeing to send troops to Wakasa?
Alas, when a person's eyes are blinded by ambition, he is often so irrational.
Naturally, Kyogoku Takamasa would not explain everything directly, but just explained: "Ukyo Ryo also saw it. This is a royal letter issued by the shogun himself. It states that Shimonosuke of Yamagata should succeed to the throne."
"Since the chief chef is dead and this is the general's intention, we can't refute it, right?"
Show your face!
Shameless!
The Kyogoku family is an ally of the Hosokawa family. You Kyogoku Takamasa and Hosokawa Rokuro wear the same pants. Rokuro Hosokawa supported Ashikaga Yoshiki. When did he admit that Ashikaga Yoshiharu was a shogun?
Will you obey Ashikaga Yoshiharu's orders?
What a liar!
MMP, you bad old man is so bad!
But even if he knew these things, what could Mototaka Kuriya do?
Now the situation is stronger than people!
The Kyogoku family has nearly 20,000 troops in Wakasa, and many old Takeda family officials such as Yamagata Shinobu have been instigated by the Kyogoku family to rebel, while Kuriya Mototaka only has a few thousand troops under his command.
The most important thing is that Kyogoku Takamasa now supports Tateyama Prefecture Shengnobu, which will at least bring back the old ministers of the Takeda family.
Yamagata Shengxin is the son of Takeda Motomitsu and the younger brother of Takeda Nobuntoyo. This is changing the soup without changing the medicine.
The Takeda family is still the Takeda family, and a group of old ministers are still the Takeda family's retainers. If Kuriya Mototaka jumps out to sing the opposite at this time, he will suddenly become the target of public criticism.
Could it be that Kuriya Mototaka will start another rebellion by then?
Stop making trouble, the person he wants to rebel against now is not the Takeda family, it is the Kyogoku family!
"Sakyo is right about entering the palace. Since it is the general's wish, then let's leave it like this."
"I just don't know how to deal with the Yoshimi and Muto families, and what to do with the surrendered Takeda family retainers?" Kuriya Mototaka asked anxiously.
Kuriya Mototaka asked because he actually wanted to hear how Kyogoku Gaomasa would arrange for him.
The Muto family and the Yoshimi family were defeated, so the Kuriya family became the most powerful wealthy family in the entire Wakasa country.
If the Kyogoku family wanted to control Wakasa, they would definitely not be able to tolerate him. Kuriya Mototaka knew this very well.
In fact, even if Kyogoku Gaozheng tolerates him, the newly succeeded Yamagata Morinobu will still not worry about Kuriya Mototaka.
After all, no one would be at ease with such a rebellious retainer.
"Don't worry, Ukyo Ryo. We can successfully defeat Takeda Nobutoyo this time, and Ukyo Ryo deserves the most credit!"
"I have proposed to my father that a territory be set aside for Ukyo Ryo in Omi! As for Ukyo Ryo-den's old territory in Wakasa, I believe Ukyo Ryo himself knows that the Kuriya family's situation in Wakasa will be very embarrassing after this incident. "
"So, I think it's better to transfer the title of Ukyo Ryōden to Omi?"
MMP, I knew this would be the result!
Transfer seal to Omi?
Let’s not talk about the fact that the old leader of the Kuriya family is extremely rich, and the poor place in Omi is a poor place that Kuriya Mototaka despises.
After being transferred to Omi, his every move will definitely be monitored by the Kyogoku family.
It means that Kuriya Gentaka spent a long time, the Kyogoku family got the benefit, and the one who got the advantage was Yamagata Shengxin, but Kuriya Gentaka not only got no benefit, but also made a mess?
