Sekigahara.
At the foot of Matsuo Mountain.
Kyogoku Takayoshi swallowed, feeling a little panicked at this moment.
As Kyogoku Takahiro's younger brother, Kyogoku Takayoshi sometimes feels gratified for the achievements of the Kyogoku family at this time, but when he thinks that he and Kyogoku Takahiro are still in conflict, he can't help but feel sorry for his own situation. Awkward.
The situation of the Kyogoku family in the first two years was similar to that of the current Mino Toki clan. They had experienced civil strife as early as the Kyogoku HD era and before, and the same was true for Kyogoku Takahiro's generation.
At that time, Kyogoku Takayoshi's doting family elder, Nobumitsu Uesaka, alienated his retainers, so he supported Kyogoku Takahiro and Katsukami to seize the position of family governor. At this time, Kyogoku Takayoshi, who was deeply loved by Kyogoku Takahiro, openly opposed Kyogoku Takahiro. , and even got the support of the Uesaka family to oppose Kyogoku Takahiro, but failed.
Unwilling to fail like this, Kyogoku Takayoshi turned to Rokkaku Sadeyori and attempted to regain control of the Kyogoku family with the support of Rokkaku Sadeyori, but failed.
In the end, Kyogoku Takayoshi considered whether to defect to the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu, hoping to obtain the position of governor with the support of the general, but still failed.
When Ashikaga Yoshiharu was exiled to Omi and was trapped in Kuchiki Valley in Takashima County, Kyogoku Takahiro sent Kyogoku Takamasa to Kuchiki Valley to express his "loyalty" to the shogun.
At that time, Kyogoku Takamasa said "Measure Omi's material resources and win the general's favor", which made Ashikaga Yoshiharu very happy. What's more, Ashikaga Yoshiharu can now return to Kyoto in harmony with Hosokawa Harumoto. Kyogoku Takahiro The father and son also played a great role in this.
As for the status of Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Kyogoku Takamasa's "friends", they have established a deep friendship, although Ashikaga Yoshiharu does not know this relationship.
But in any case, Ashikaga Yoshiharu has a close relationship with Kyoto Takahiro and his son. What's more, Ashikaga Yoshiharu wants to gain a foothold in Kyoto and cannot do without these daimyo who support him.
Therefore, as long as Ashikaga Yoshiharu's brain is not broken, it is impossible to support a polished commander Kyogoku Takayoshi and lose a powerful daimyo like Kyogoku Takahiro.
So Kyogoku Takayoshi's plan failed.
After several consecutive failures, Kyogoku Takayoshi, who was originally very ambitious, became disheartened. At this moment, he couldn't help but miss the "sweet time" he spent with Kyogoku Takahiro when he was a child. During that time, he could also be called " A kind father and a filial son."
But Kyogoku Takayoshi knew that what he had done before was a bit excessive, and his relationship with Kyogoku Takahiro was also quite bad. How easy would it be to return to the Kyogoku family?
But when Rokkaku Sadayori approached Kyogoku Takayoshi and hoped that Kyogoku Takayoshi would come forward to adjust Kyogoku Takayoshi, Kyogoku Takayoshi was still moved. This was a good relationship with Kyogoku Takayoshi. A chance for families to reconnect.
So Kyogoku Takayoshi came without any hesitation.
But Kyogoku Takayoshi did not go directly to Kyogoku Takamasa. After all, although the two were uncles and nephews, the last time Kyogoku Takayoshi met Kyogoku Takamasa was still an infant.
So Kyogoku Takayoshi, under the guidance of the Rokkaku family ninja, found an old acquaintance - Aguchi Sadashige, the lord of Yamamotoyama Castle.
The arrival of Kyogoku Takayoshi shocked Seki Sadashige. At that time, Seki Sadashige's first reaction was to kidnap Kyogoku Takayoshi and hand him over to Kyogoku Takamasa because he felt Kyogoku Takayoshi was here to molest him. Ignore your own.
Aguan Sadashige didn't dare to betray the Kyogoku family. His whole family, including young and old, was in Imahama City. If he rebelled, I'm afraid the Aguan family would be extinct.
However, when Kyogoku Takayoshi expressed his intention to come, Aguan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his willingness to introduce him.
The troops of the Aki family were stationed near the Black Blood River at the foot of Mount Matsuo, just a few steps away from Kyogoku Takamasa's main formation, so Aki Sadashige quickly took Kyogoku Takayoshi to find Kyogoku Takamasa. .
Kyogoku Takamasa was having a meal at the moment. When he heard Hatayama said to Shinju that Aguki Sadashige had brought Kyogoku Takayoshi to see him, Kyogoku Takamasa spat out a mouthful of soup and rice.
But Kyogoku Takamasa soon realized what he was doing, and quickly asked Hatayama Chaobu to pack the food, then put his clothes in order and came to the main formation.
As soon as he entered the main formation, Kyogoku Takamasa saw Seki Sadashige, and there was a middle-aged samurai next to him. He was dressed very formally, but the anxiety on his face was still clearly visible.
To be honest, this is the first time Kyogoku Takamasa has met Kyogoku Takayoshi.
"Why are you here, uncle?"
After exchanging greetings with Kyogoku Takayoshi, Kyogoku Takamasa curiously asked, according to conventional history, Kyogoku Takayoshi should have followed Ashikaga Yoshiharu to Luo at this moment.
Kyogoku Takayoshi shook his head helplessly, "Well, what I did before was actually helpless, and the confrontation with my brother was also coerced by the Uesaka family and others."
"Now I heard that my father has made peace with my brother and is now in Imahama City, so I have long wanted to return home, but I am just worried...I am worried that my brother will not accept it."
Kyogoku Takamasa also heard what Kyogoku Takayoshi wanted to express from these words: Everything I did before was involuntary, and everything was not my intention. Now that his father Kyogoku Takahiro has reconciled with his brother Kyogoku Takahiro, he, as his younger brother, is also willing to hang out with his elder brother.
It's just that what I did before was too clumsy, and I was afraid that my brother wouldn't forgive me, so I don't know what to do now.
"Don't worry, uncle. My father often secretly laments the discord between the brothers. If my uncle really has this intention, I would like to write a letter of divorce to my father. I think my father will also be happy to see my uncle change his mind!"
"I've always known Sakyo Shin's abilities, and I also know that my brother will discuss every major matter with Sakyo Shin, so I'm here to make trouble!"
"Why did your uncle say this? How can one family speak two different languages?"
"Yes, yes, we are a family!" Kyogoku Takayoshi's mood suddenly improved, and a smile appeared on his face.
Kyogoku Takamasa stared at Kyogoku Takayoshi for a while, and then suddenly said: "Uncle, is this not just for this matter?"
Kyogoku Takayoshi smiled awkwardly, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Sakyo Susumu. To be honest, the head of the Rokkaku clan, Rokkaku Danshoden, wants to be in harmony with this clan, so he asked me to express his goodwill."
After Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, Kyogoku Takamasa fell into silence.
To be honest, Kyogoku Takamasa had already guessed something from the moment he heard that Kyogoku Takamasa was coming. Kyogoku Takamasa actually has no objection to the reconciliation with Rokkaku Sadayori.
First of all, the Rokkaku family and the Kyogoku family are of the same origin. Both families are based in Omi, one in the north and the other in the south.
Secondly, Rokkaku Sadayori's ambition is to dominate the Kinai region, while the Kyogoku family or Kyogoku Takamasa's goal is to temporarily bypass recent areas and develop towards the surrounding areas. Because Kyogoku Takamasa knows that in the next ten years, recent areas will be in chaos, and whoever provokes it will be unlucky (Hosokawa, Miyoshi, Honganji, Ashikaga Shogun, Rokkaku, Hatakeyama and other forces have complicated relationships)
Therefore, Kyogoku Takamasa is not willing to let the Kyogoku family go through this muddy water.
Because of this, in the long run there is actually no threat between the Kyogoku family and the Rokkaku family. After all, there is no direct conflict between the two families.
Kyogoku Takamasa reluctantly supported Kyogoku Takahiro's proposal to participate in the civil strife in Mino. His original intention was just to find a few allies, and temporarily set his target on the Asakura family. After all, regardless of their family name, Kyogoku Takamasa Still quite appropriate in terms of strength.
But at this moment, the Rokkaku family took the initiative to jump out, which made Kyogoku Takamasa a little excited.
