When Kyogoku Takamasa returned to Imahama Castle, Kyogoku Takahiro was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
When he saw Kyogoku Takamasa, Kyogoku Takahiro was so excited that he shed tears.
"Sanlang, you are finally back!"
"Wakasa's overall situation has been decided, but he can't get away at the next moment, which really frightens father!"
"It doesn't matter, just come back!" Kyogoku Takahiro hurriedly said to Kyogoku Hidetsuna beside him: "Songsuke, please quickly explain the latest situation in the area to Saburo."
"Ha!" Kyogoku Hidetsuna also knew that the situation was urgent, so he kept the story short: "Sakyo entered the palace. According to the reports from the city lords, city lords and citizens in the territory, many Ichikō sect temples in the territory are actively planning. One click."
"Although our family has deployed a large number of troops in various strategic locations, there is no trace of the outbreak at all, and the specific time and location cannot be determined!"
"Nowadays, there are countless caravans passing by in our territory. If Yikui breaks out and plunders the caravans, our family will suffer great losses! Moreover, the autumn harvest is about to happen. If Yikui spreads over a large area, our autumn harvest this year will also be affected!"
"Nagashima Enjojiji Temple has begun to send troops to attack our family's Ebener-2 County in Ise. Ishida Mutsu Mamoru, Endo's chief chef and others have sent people several times to request reinforcements! However, Omi's attack is about to break out, and our family really can't do it. Send troops to ask for help!"
"Now, what should I do?" Kyogoku Hidetsuna also looked at Kyogoku Takamasaichi anxiously.
Not only Kyogoku Hidetsuna, Mitsui Setsutsuna, Asami Kuni, Asami Sadatsuki and others also looked at Kyogoku Takamasa with hopeful faces, expecting Kyogoku Takamasa to come up with a solution immediately.
Ever since Kyogoku Takamasa rose to prominence in the Kyogoku family and led the Kyogoku family to "make a fortune", the retainers of the Kyogoku family have regarded Kyogoku Takamasa as a "god-like existence" and have had a strong impression on Kyogoku Takamasa. Big dependencies.
Whenever they encounter something that cannot be decided, almost everyone will place their hope on Kyogoku Takamasa.
Because in their opinion, Kyogoku Gaomasa will always find a way!
And Kyogoku Takamasa did not disappoint them. After hearing Kyogoku Hidetsuna's words, Kyogoku Takamasa just thought for a moment and then immediately said: "A few years ago, there was an outbreak in Omi, just because of our family. We were prepared in advance, so the scale of Ikku is not big! Afterwards, our family also destroyed many temples, so the hidden danger of Ikku in Kitaomi is not big!"
"The only concern is that the outbreak will rob the caravans and affect the autumn harvest."
"This matter is easy to handle!"
"As for the caravan, we can strictly control the access roads from Wakasa to Imahama Castle, and from Imahama Castle to Kannonji Castle, and dispatch ashigaru patrols along the way to protect the safety of the caravan!"
"This way, even if something breaks out, our family can deal with it calmly!"
"As for the autumn harvest, we are all local farmers. This is the food they have grown with their hard work for a year. I guess they won't destroy it, so there is no need to worry about it!"
"On the other hand, in Ise, the strength of Nagashima Gonjoji Temple is second only to Honganji Omotozan and Kaga Ichikuki Sect. If reinforcements are not sent out in time, Endo Masters and the others may not be able to hold on for long!"
"So I believe that the top priority right now is to rescue Ise!"
After listening to Kyogoku Takamasa's analysis, Kyogoku Takahiro hurriedly asked: "What about Omi? Do we just ignore it?"
"Of course we can't ignore Omi, but we can take another approach!"
"In what way?"
"Father, what sect does my family follow?"
"Hokage Sect!" Kyogoku Takahiro replied without thinking.
The heads of the Kyogoku family have worshiped the Lotus Sect for generations, and they practice Buddhism based on the Myoho Renge Sutra. Kyogoku Bodhi Temple Seitakiji Temple is also a temple of the Hokke Sect.
"That's right! During the reigns of the successive heads of our family, we have strongly praised the Hokke Sect, and the Enryaku Temple, the headquarters of the Hokke Sect, is in Omi! Now that the Ichiko Sect is trying to break out in Omi, I can ask for help from Hieizan Enryaku Temple. !”
"If the Ichigo clan wants to do something within Enryakuji's sphere of influence, we have to ask Enryakuji if it will agree!" Kyogoku Takamasa smiled.
yes!
As soon as Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, all the retainers present had expressions of sudden realization.
When Hosokawa Harumoto and the Ichigo clan had a falling out, they relied on the power of the Hokke Sect. Today, the disciples of the Hokke Sect (Nichiren Sect, a branch of the Hokke Sect) are still entrenched in Kyoto.
It can be said that the Lotus Sect and the Ichixiang Sect are mortal enemies.
And now that the Ichiko sect is planning to cause trouble under the nose of Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, the headquarters of the Hokke Sect, there must be objections from Hieizan Enryakuji Temple.
At this time, if the Kyogoku family came to seek support from the Hokke Sect, Mount Hiei would have no reason to refuse.
"Sosuke-san, you have a close relationship with Mount Hiei, so I will leave this matter to you!" Kyogoku Takahiro said quickly to Kyogoku Hidetsuna beside him.
Kyogoku Hidetsuna nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the mission!"
"In addition to asking for help from Mount Hiei, our family must also be fully prepared!"
"Zen'emon, the defense of Imahama Castle is still in your hands. You must always be vigilant about every move in Sakata County. Even if there is an outbreak, you must not let it explode in Sakata County! This matter is within the palace Shaosuke and Zenemon must cooperate with each other!" Kyogoku Takamasa said to Kaiboku Tsunachika and Numata Mitsukane standing aside.
The base of the Kyogoku family is in Sakata County. Once something happens to Sakata County, the Kyogoku family's control over the entire Kitaomi will be greatly reduced. This is not the result Kyogoku Takamasa wants to see.
Kaiboku Tsunayika and Numata Mitsukane quickly took orders.
"Shimotsaka Sashimasuke, Anyoji Saburozaemon, Mitamurazaemon the Great, Ohnoki Kaga, and Mitsuiemon, you guys will assemble the troops you lead and march along Gozeyama Castle, Imahama Castle, We are patrolling the first-line streets of Guanyin Temple City. Once we find any suspected gathering of disciples of the Yixiang Sect, you can destroy them directly without reporting them!"
"Nomura Tajima, Nagasaka Kuro, Ohnoki Haki, and Mitsui Gensuke, the four of you will lead my team and accompany me to support Ise!"
"ha!"
Hearing that Kyogoku Takamasa was only taking his own team to Ise, Kyogoku Takahiro couldn't help but worry, "Saburo, your team only has more than a thousand people, and besides, it's an Ashigaru that has just been training. Why don't you bring more people?" "
Kyogoku Takamasa's team is the more than a thousand regulars that Kaiboku Tsunachika and others were trained in Imahama Castle. They have been training for almost a year now, and Kyogoku Takamasa is ready to take the team out to see the blood.
No matter how good you are in training, it is just training. If you have not experienced the baptism of blood, you will always be garbage!
As for the question of whether more than a thousand people are too few, Kyogoku Takamasa said, I only left Omi with a thousand people, and when I arrived in Ise, there would be more than that!
Changdao Yuanzheng Temple?
If you dare to act wildly against me, the high-ranking official of Kyogoku, if I don't beat you until you cry this time, I will be the protagonist for nothing!
