When Yoshinaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki arrived outside Kannonji Castle, Rokkaku Yoshiken and his retainers were waiting outside the castle town.

Of course, Rokkaku Yoshiken didn't come to greet Yoshinaga, he came to greet Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the princess of Horikoshi.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki rode a war horse half a head more than Yoshinaga, and Rokkaku Yoshiken saw the banner of the Ashikaga family from a distance, so he took several retainers to go up to greet him.

As soon as the two sides met, Rokkaku Yoshiken bowed to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said, "I will meet His Highness Horikoshi in the next place, His Highness has worked hard from afar, and the banquet has been prepared in the next, please move Your Highness." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki said with a smile: "Hexagonal Dan Zhengzhong is polite, I have been riding a war horse for a few days, this leg and foot are really not very adaptable, Dan Zhengzhong is really empathetic." ”

Rokkaku Yoshiken smiled and said, "It's good that His Highness Horikoshi is satisfied, and this one next to him is Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru, right?" ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "In the next place, I've seen the hexagonal bullet Zhengzhongyu." ”

Rokkaku Yoshiken nodded and said, "Thank you Ogasawara for your help, and my brother-in-law Lai Yi will ask Ogasawara for help." ”

Yoshicho smiled, "Everyone is a famous family, and it is also appropriate to help each other, but I just hope that Tokiki will not mind taking his place as a guardian." It is also for His Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Of course, Rokkaku Yoshiken will not dismantle Yoshicho's platform, and he still has to accept this favor, and said: "Haha, Ogasawara is laughing, Lai Yi is too late to be happy, the previous days were frightened, Ogasawara took revenge for him, and he will thank you later." ”

Yoshicho glanced at it and saw that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was a little impatient, so he smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Horikoshi will enter the city with Danmasa Tadashi first, and then arrange the army with Fujitaka first." ”

Rokkaku Yoshiken asked Urayu Hideken to lead Yoshicho and Hosokawa Fujitaka to the previously arranged camp.

After arriving at the station, Yoshinaga stood with Hosokawa Fujitaka and walked together.

Yoshicho said softly to Hosokawa Fujitaka, "Fujitaka, did He Horikoshi have any difficulties after arriving in Izu?" If you have a problem, tell me, and I'll talk to Uesugiden. ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka said first: "There is no problem for the time being, this time everyone is very cooperative." ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka's attitude towards Yoshicho is not very close.

Yoshicho had to chat with Hosokawa Fujitaka hastily, and then went to chat with Urayu Hidexian.

After arranging the army, they returned to the city for a banquet.

The next day, Rokkaku Yoshiken took 5,000 men and horses to follow Yoshicho and Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Luo.

At this moment, outside the Nijo Castle Imperial Palace, Matsunaga Shu ran over alone.

At the head of the castle, Mibuchi Fujiei looked at Matsunaga and said, "Isn't this Matsunaga?" Kicked out by your father-in-law? ”

Matsunaga said with a smile: "I came here to find Ogasawara Shinano to guard the temple, and my lord has important matters to discuss with Ogasawara Palace." ”

Mibuchi Fujiei looked at Matsunaga Xiu, his eyes full of doubt, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If you have anything to tell me directly, the shogunate will convey it." ”

Matsunaga said with a smile: "Well, my lord hopes to talk to Ogasawara Palace, Ogasawara Palace's labor expedition, just for the sake of the shogunate's export, it is better to talk to the family." ”

After hearing this, Mibuchi Fujiei sneered: "It's too late to say this today, His Royal Highness will definitely not forgive you and the Miyoshi family." ”

Matsunaga Shu shook his head and said: "What the family is afraid of is not the shogunate, but the famous Ogasawara Palace, and now he is a million-stone famous man with strong martial arts, and the family does not want to fight with the Ogasawara Palace."

As for whether the shogunate can make a decision on Ogasawara Hall, I think it would be better for Mibuchi to ask Ogasawara Hall. ”

Mibuchi Fujiei frowned, he listened to Matsunaga Xiu's words, and he also underestimated in his heart, after all, they have less than 10,000 troops here, but Yoshinaga is only the vanguard force and already has an army of nearly 30,000.

However, Mibuchi Fujiei didn't want to show his cowardice in front of Matsunaga Xiu, and shouted angrily: "Do you think Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru will be like you?" He was a pillar of the samurai family, loyal to the imperial court and the shogunate! If you say something, I will tell Mamoru Ogasawara Shinano, and his answer will definitely disappoint you. ”

Matsunaga Shu smiled: "Hahaha, then I'll bother Mibuchi, I just hope that Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru won't disappoint Mibuchi." Then he turned his horse's head and left.

Mibuchi Fujiei was uneasy, and he returned with some worries to see Ashikaga Yoshito.

Ashikaga Yoshito saw Mibuchi Fujiei coming back and asked, "What did Matsunaga Shu do when he came alone?" ”

Mibuchi Fuji Hidein first said: "Your Highness, Matsunaga Shu came with the intention of Miyoshi Chokei, and Miyoshi Chokei wants to negotiate with Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru. ”

Ashikaga Yoshito was also puzzled: "What? Why negotiate with Ogasawara Shinanomori instead of the shogunate? ”

Mibuchi Fujiei paused, but still said: "Probably because the number of King Qin's army is larger than that of the shogunate army, he thinks that Ogasawara Shinano has the final say." ”

After hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshito was very ashamed in his heart, and angrily stuck a fan on the treading rice, shouting, "What a gut! Thief Ann dares to insult me like this! ”

Mibuchi Fujiying hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is the other party's trick, Your Highness should be calm." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito looked at Mibuchi Fujiei and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Mibuchi Fujiei said: "I'm afraid that the other party just wants the shogunate to be suspicious of Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru or Uesugi Guan Ling, so His Highness must be calm and don't fall into the scheme, if His Royal Highness is suspicious of Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru or Uesugi Guan Ling, causing them to withdraw their troops and strike the war, it will not be easy for the shogunate to win the Miyoshi family." ”

Ashikaga Yoshito said angrily: "Sure enough, Tengying, it's good to have you." ”

Mibuchi Fujiei thinks about the reason, but not everyone who serves the public has such an awareness as Mibuchi Fujiying.

Matsunaga was in front of the shogunate and wanted to negotiate with Ogasawara Shinanomoru in front of him, which did not take the shogunate seriously at all.

When Mibuchi Fujiei and Ashikaga Yoshito were discussing, Kyogoku Takayoshi, Kira Nobuyi and others couldn't sit still.

A group of them were the ones who encouraged Ashikaga Yoshito to fight against the Miyoshi family, and now if Ogasawara Yoshinaga becomes the successor of the Miyoshi family, what is the use of their efforts?

So they have to hold this situation down in advance.

Kira Xuanjing said loudly: "Everyone, we must come up with a charter for today's affairs, otherwise if Ogasawara becomes today's three good in the future, then our efforts will be in vain." ”

Kyogoku Takayoshi sighed and said, "I heard that Ogasawara Shinano has more than 10,000 people under his command, plus a number of followers, his power is no worse than that of the Miyoshi family.

If His Highness doesn't allow it, what can we do? ”

Isshiki Yoshiyuki said angrily: "We are loyal ministers of the shogunate, and we are only dedicated to Your Highness, Your Highness should understand our thoughts, and everyone should work together to advise His Highness the Princess, and we must let His Highness guard against the wolf ambitions of Mamoru Ogasawara Shinano." ”

Kira Xuanjing said: "Now His Highness's most trusted person is Mibuchi, if we persuade him together, we will definitely be able to convince His Highness." ”

Isshiki Yoshiki clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then go find Mibuchi." ”

The group of them immediately got up and went to look for Mibuchi Fujiei, and happened to meet Mibuchi Fujiei who had returned from Ashikaga Yoshito.

Isshiki Yoshiki saw Mibuchi Fujiei and hurriedly greeted, "Mibuchi! I'm looking for you just in time. ”

When Mibuchi Fujiying saw that so many people were looking for him, he stepped up a few steps and hurriedly said, "Do you have anything to do here?" ”

Yoshiyuki Isshiki immediately said something about Matsunaga Shu and Ogasawara Yoshinaga.

Mibuchi Fujiei immediately sensed that something was wrong, he waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru is just the pioneer general of the Qin Wang Army, and the general general is His Royal Highness Uesugi, you have misunderstood." ”

Kira Xuanjing stepped forward and said, "Why did Namatsunaga Shu ask Ogasawara Shinano to negotiate and not His Royal Highness Uesugi?" ”

Mibuchi Fujiei explained: "Don't be deceived by Matsunaga Shu, it's all his trick, Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru is a loyal minister of the shogunate, and he is loyal to His Highness, don't doubt it." ”

Isshiki Yoshiyuki's face is not very good-looking, and Mibuchi Fujiei will not admonish the general with them.

He said in a deep voice: "Does Sanyuanshu think that these foreign daimyo Shangluo are really for the prosperity of the shogunate? What's in it for them? ”

Mibuchi Fujiei reprimanded categorically: "Isshiki is cautious, His Royal Highness Uesugi is really for the shogunate, after he pacified the eight kingdoms of Kanto, he restored the local shogunate and the imperial court's imperial food, and the same is true of Ogasawara Shinanomori, how can you forget their exploits." ”

The group of people couldn't talk all of a sudden, and Isshiki Yoshiki said with a little embarrassment: "Don't be angry, Mibuchi, it's me who is abrupt, and we are not questioning Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru and His Royal Highness Uesugi, but mainly to prevent it from happening." ”

Mibuchi Fujiei snorted coldly: "Now that everyone is clear, then so be it, Ogasawara Shinanomori's army will arrive soon, and I will have to go to work next." ”

After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

Isshiki Yoshiki looked at the back of Mibuchi Fujiei leaving, and the hands in his sleeves were clenched.

Kyogoku Takayoshi persuaded on the side: "You should take a look at the situation first, if it is really Matsunaga Hide's plan, then we will become sinners." ”

Isshiki Yoshiki snorted coldly: "No matter what, you still have to plan early." With that, he left.

The rest also left first.

Kyogoku Takayoshi also left with a worried face.

He didn't want to offend the shogunate and powerful daimyos, like his Kyogoku family, who was one of the "three leaders and four positions".

It's a pity that since his father Kyogoku HD and his uncle Kyogoku Politics and Economics competed for the family governor, the Kyogoku family has declined.

Subsequently, Kyogoku HD and his son Kyogoku Nobumitsu were expelled from Kita-Omi by the countrymen led by Asai Ryomasa, and Kita-Omi was mastered by the Asai family, and Kyogoku Takayoshi had to flee to the shogunate as a shogunate.

Now he wanted to curry favor with the shogunate, Ogasawara Yoshinaga and Uesugi Masatora, so that he could ask their two powerful daimyo to help him retake Kita-Omi.

Kyogoku Takayoshi thought of the anecdote he had heard, and Yoshinaga Ogasawara was a little lustful... Kyogoku Takayoshi sighed, it seems that he needs to find his own daughter or niece to build a bridge.

Because of the arrival of Ogasawara Yoshinaga and others the next day, the voice of talking about Matsunaga was suppressed.

It was Mibuchi Fujiei who came forward to greet Ogasawara Yoshicho and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and as for Ashikaga Yoshito, he was waiting in the main hall.

Sitting on the left near Ashikaga Yoshito is Hosokawa Harumoto.

Mibuchi Fujiei led Yoshinaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki and others to the main hall, and then sat down according to their official positions.

First of all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ashikaga Yoshito played against each other, followed by Yoshinaga.

After some greetings and awards, Ashikaga Yoshito entered the topic and said: "Shinano Mamoru has an army of 30,000 just as the first army, so how many people did Uesugi Guan tie?" ”

Yichang paused and said: "This time in Shangluo, the original army was only more than 10,000, but after subduing Minong, plus the hexagonal bullet Zheng Zhongyu sent troops together, the first army had 30,000.

His Highness Uesugi mobilized the eight countries of the Kanto region to form a coalition army, and now His Highness Uesugi still has 40,000 horses in his hands. ”

When Ashikaga Yoshito heard this, he was overjoyed, and after a rough calculation, plus his and Hosokawa Harumoto's team, it could be called 100,000 horses to the outside world.

As for the Miyoshi family, it is already the limit that they can gather an army of 50,000, how can this be the opponent of the shogunate army.

Ashikaga Yoshito smiled: "Well, you are loyal, and the shogunate will not forget your achievements!" ”

Yoshicho had heard that Matsunaga was going to negotiate with him before, and he immediately realized that Matsunaga was cheating on him.

But with the conspiracy on the table, there is nothing to fool people.

Yoshicho said bluntly: "Your Royal Highness, I heard that Matsunaga Shu was going to negotiate with him, and I felt that I could talk about it, and I could send someone to inform the Quartet that the Miyoshi family was already afraid of the shogunate army and had the intention of surrendering, so as to hit the morale of the Miyoshi family."

As for the negotiation, they said that they would negotiate with him, and it would be okay to negotiate under the witness of His Highness. ”

After listening to Yoshinaga's words, Ashikaga Yoshito's heart also relaxed a lot, and he smiled: "Okay, Matsunaga Hide's treacherous plan was suddenly broken by Shinano Mamoru.

Tengying has actually reminded me that since Shinano Mamoru has a countermeasure, then do what Shinano Mamoru said. ”

"Hah!"

Soon, the shogunate sent an envoy for Matsunaga Hideto to enter Nijo Castle to meet Ogasawara Yoshinaga.

Matsunaga Hideki also thought that Yoshinaga and the shogunate had fallen for a plan, so he swaggered into the castle alone.

Matsunaga Shu was taken to the main hall, and at a glance he saw the arrival of the shogunate, as well as a young samurai dressed in the Ogasawara family crest.

He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yoshicho to talk in front of so many people, could it be that Yoshicho was really a loyal minister of the shogunate? Now he can only take one step at a time.

Yoshicho smiled and looked at Matsunaga Xiu, this great villain of the Warring States period was actually very handsome and had a decent appearance.

He said: "Matsunaga wants to negotiate with Zai Xia, and Zai Xia is really flattered, since Matsunaga wants to negotiate with Zai Xia on behalf of the Miyoshi family, then Zai Xia will say bluntly, the Miyoshi family must withdraw from the area of Yamashiro Province, as for Settsu, Hanoi, etc., it will not matter for the time being." ”

Matsunaga raised the corners of his eyes, he didn't expect Yoshicho to hit seven inches as soon as he came up, how could he delay time if he talked like this? It's a big deal.
