Sekigahara.
After the first few waves of offensive, both warring parties temporarily stopped and adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
Toki Yorii is still urging Rokkaku Sadayori to come out, and the Asakura family is also constantly asking what the Kyogoku family means.
Although it is not impossible to wave the flag and shout something, you can't always be in a "fishing" state, right?
"My lord, the Nagato Shouden is back."
Early the next morning, Yamaoka Inuhachiro came to take over the work. This time he escorted Kyogoku Takayoshi to Kyoto. Although nothing thrilling happened along the way, Yamaoka Inuhachiro was still worried.
Now that he has successfully returned with Kyogoku Takayoshi, Yamaoka Inuhachiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Please!"
Not long after, Kyogoku Takayoshi entered the main formation with small steps.
"Uncle, how is the situation?"
"Fortunately, I have lived up to my mission!" Kyogoku Takayoshi said with a smile, "This is a letter personally written by the Guanling Palace, and I would like to ask Saburo to read it."
Taking the letter from Kyogoku Takamasa, Kyogoku Takamasa read it leisurely.
After a long time, Kyogoku Gaozhengcai slowly closed the letter and fell into deep thought.
The meaning of Hosokawa Harumoto's letter was very simple, and he agreed with Kyogoku Takamasa's views on the situation in Mino. Hosokawa Harumoto believes that this four-party war between Asakura, Toki, Rokkaku, and Kyogoku has had a great destabilizing effect on the situation in Kinai. It would be good if a truce could be achieved.
As for the Rokkaku family, Hosokawa Harumoto also offered to recognize Toki Yorii's guardianship of Mino, but at the same time, he also hoped that the Rokkaku family could recognize his position as the leader and oppose the Hosokawa family's rule over the Kinai area. Be supportive and supportive.
But Kyogoku Takamasa is not optimistic about this matter, because Kyogoku Takamasa knows that Rokkaku Sadayori's ambition is not just as simple as letting Toki Yorii serve as the guardian of Mino.
To put it bluntly, Rokkaku Sadeyori has been working hard for a long time, just to enhance the reputation of the Rokkaku family, and then show the strength and momentum of the Rokkaku family to the world, and then enter the core of power of the shogunate.
However, what Hosokawa Harumoto said in his letter was far from what Rokkaku Sadayori had planned.
Seeing the silence on Kyogoku Takamasa's face, Kyogoku Takamasa quickly asked: "How is it?"
"But the Guanling Palace didn't agree?"
"That's not true." Kyogoku Takamasa slowly shook his head, "It's just that the governor's view on this matter is too optimistic. He actually thinks that just by letting Toki Yorii serve as the guardian of Mino, Rokkaku can be defeated." Home contentment.”
"Oh? Is that what the governor's letter said?" Kyogoku Takayoshi nodded, and then continued to ask, "So in Saburo's opinion, what does the Rokkaku family really want?"
"Guan Lingdai!" Kyogoku Gaozheng said three words without thinking.
"Guan Lingdai???!!!" Kyogoku Takayoshi's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.
As we all know, in the shogunate, the most powerful person is of course the shogun (at least in name), and then the leader is the leader. Guan Ling Dai means "Deputy Guan Ling", and many times when Guan Ling Dai is very strong, the setting is nb better than Guan Ling (in history, when Sanhao Changqing was at its peak, it was Guan Ling Dai, which is called "Vice King of rb" - a certain game)
"Does the Rokkaku family want to be like the Ouchi family?" Kyogoku Takayoshi still looked shocked.
You must know that just over ten years ago, there was a famous leader in Kyoto who dominated the scene here. This man was Ouchi Yoshihiro, the head of the Ouchi family, the overlord of the Western Kingdom. There are still many "legends" about Ouchi Yoshihiro in the Kinai area to this day.
Because of the breakup among the heirs of the Ashikaga family, Ouchi Yoshihiro sent troops from the Western Kingdom and supported Ashikaga Yoshie to go to Luo. He successively defeated Miyoshi Nagaki, Hosokawa Sumimoto, Rokkaku Takayori and others, and worked together with Hosokawa Takakuni Taking charge of the shogunate directly eliminated the general.
If it weren't for Nizi, Otomo and others causing trouble in the rear, Ouchi Yoshihiro would not even return to the territory because he was worried that his basic position would be unstable. But even so, Ouchi Yoshihiro did whatever he wanted in Kyoto for 11 years.
The leadership of the last nb is still fresh in my mind, but now Rokkaku Sadayori actually wants to be the second Ouchi Yoshihiro?
The Rokkaku family wants to follow the example of Yoshihiro Ouchi and Takakuni Hosokawa who worked together to sideline Ashikaga Yoshie, and together with Hosokawa Harumoto, they want to continue to sideline Ashikaga Yoshiharu!
"Because of this concern, I am worried that if the Rokkaku family really has such big intentions, the leaders may not dare to agree!" Kyogoku Takamasa said worriedly.
In fact, what Kyogoku Takamasa is really worried about is that if someone in the Hosokawa family causes trouble, and Hosokawa Harumoto is fooled into agreeing to the Rokkaku family's request, then the Kyogoku family will have three acres of land in Omi and Kinai. There's no way to mess around.
When the Rokkaku family becomes more prestigious and they can casually set up a "Kyogoku siege net", the Kyogoku family will feel uncomfortable. After all, the Rokkaku family has quite a few younger brothers in the Kinai area.
"In that case, let me go to Rokkaku's house to find out Rokkaku's true intentions."
"That will help my uncle."
After seeing off Kyogoku Takamasa, Kyogoku Takamasa walked back and forth in the formation and could not sit down. This letter from Hosokawa Harumoto made Kyogoku Takamasa unable to calm down for a long time.
Kyogoku Takamasa knew that Hosokawa Harumoto was a little anxious, which was inevitable. After all, Hosokawa Harumoto was too young and was very embarrassed by the messy Kinai situation. If there were powerful daimyo like the Rokkaku family to help Hosokawa Harumoto, it would be easy for Hosokawa Harumoto to stabilize the situation in Kinai.
But Kyogoku Gaomasa did not dare to let Rokkaku Sadayori's wishful thinking come true.
The Kyogoku family's base is located in Omi, which is in the Kinai whirlpool. If you want to develop, you must seize every good opportunity.
The previous civil strife in the Hosokawa family and the confrontation between Hosokawa Takakuni and Hosokawa Harumoto was an opportunity, and now is the second opportunity. In an instant, a bold idea came to Kyogoku Takamasa's mind!
Since the Rokkaku family has already set their sights on the position of Guan Lingdai, there is no reason for him to just want to interfere in the situation in Meinong, right?
If we don't take a chance, how can the Kyogoku family turn their bicycles into motorcycles?
Although the Kyogoku family now has more than 100,000 or 200,000 koku including Kitaomi, Wakasa, and Kitaise, they are still far from a real rise.
Moreover, Kyogoku Takamasa knew very well that Hosokawa Harumoto's good days were only for a few years, and in the near future, the man from the Miyoshi family would rise to power.
If the Kyogoku family is not strong enough to take a share of the pie before this, will they continue to be lickers after the Miyoshi family rises? !
"Command, all Ashigaru have a good meal and be ready for battle at any time!" Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly shouted outside the tent.
Hatayama opened the curtain towards Nobu Nenman and walked in, "My lord, are you preparing for war?"
With his hands behind his back, Kyogoku Takamasa slowly walked out of the formation under Hatayama Asanobu's expectant eyes.
Looking at the smoky mountains and forests outside, Kyogoku Takamasa said something unhurriedly that Hatayama Nobubu could not understand.
"Since there is no other way, we can only turn over the table..."
