Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Calm Before the Storm

The big tent of the Hosokawa Chinese army was silent, and Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujiei looked lost and listless. Hosokawa Haruyuki didn't quite understand the reason for this, and his big eyes flickered and he didn't dare to interject, while Hosokawa Nobuyoto looked at the two cousins, not knowing what he was thinking.

For a long time, it was Hosokawa Fujitaka who interrupted the tranquility: "How can this be? Aren't all families willing to revive the shogunate? Shouldn't it be a call for a hundred calls, King Shangluoqin? "After being a shogunate for so many years, it is difficult to accept this cruel reality.

[It seems that if you are as smart as Hosokawa Fujitaka, you will inevitably be confused by the authorities.] Hosokawa Nobumoto thought to himself for a moment and said, "Yoichiro, I have traveled to various countries since I was a child, and I know this very well. Now that the shogunate is weak and has lost its authority for many years, the princes everywhere are fighting for the one-third of an acre of land in front of them. Let's take it for now, Uesugi and the Takeda family have been fighting for Kawanakajima for nearly ten years at this time, and they are still fighting; Maori and Otomo have just secretly fornicated and scraped the Ouchi family business, and now they have become enemies because of the uneven distribution of spoils, and it is even more impossible to go to Luo under each other's defense; The Imagawa family is now the new head of the family, internal and external troubles, and even my Oda family is taking the opportunity to expand the territory. Besides, I'm afraid that the world is watching the excitement now, you must know that there is also a name outside the Gongfang Palace, called the Runaway General, so ~"

"Shut up! How dare you be disrespectful to the Gongfang Palace! Mibuchi Fuji Hideho stood up and reprimanded.

Hosokawa Nobumoto spread his hands and said that it was none of my business, and Hosokawa Fujitaka also got up to make a round, and the two sides sat down again to continue the discussion.

"It's better to be like this, the two brothers might as well stay outside for a while this time, just from the perspective of a bystander, to see the essence of things, and after going back, they can also take medicine according to the prescription and readjust the strategy." In the end, it was Hosokawa Nobugen who put forward a feasible opinion, and Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujiei also agreed, preparing to see the specific reactions of each family from the perspective of a bystander.

In this way, the boring campaign began, and Rokkaku Yoshiken waited for a few days to find that there was no army to respond except for Hosokawa Nobumoto. So he ordered his retainer Nagahara Shigesumi to lead 3,000 troops to garrison Shogunyama Castle, and then led the rest of the army to advance to Kaguraoka, and set up camp to continue to oppress Kyoto, and then, there was no more.

"Bump! In the red! "Three of a kind!" "Haha! Hoo! Give money! Give money! "In the Hosokawa family military tent on Kaguraoka, Hosokawa Nobumoto, Hosokawa Haruyuki, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujiei are playing "Hosokawa Mahjong" in a circle.

"Hey~~ I'm really lucky today, Rokuro, you can't do this, you also know that the shogunate family's finances are tight now, and the exploration income that was originally enshrined by you was forcibly intercepted by the Miyoshi family a while ago, and we haven't paid for several months. You can't win what little money we have. Hosokawa Fujitaka muttered, but the shuffling of the cards in his hand did not stop.

"Haha, willing to gamble and lose, willing to gamble and lose, this yard is one yard. Besides, when did you lose barely, didn't I give you money again? "Hosokawa Nobumoto has a lot of fun, this time and again, it is equivalent to winning all their money, and after he finishes it, he pays them a salary again, and earns a big favor.

"Zephyr! But then again, this thing invented by Rokuro is really attractive, we can all play all night long, and we don't get tired of it. I heard that there is a special casino in Devon City in Rokuro? There are even more ways to play in it? "Mibuchi Fujiei is now addicted and plans to recommend it to his friends when he goes back.

"Yes, brother, eat! Nijo! Take me with you when this battle is over, it's boring enough to be here all day, it's been four months, what are you waiting for here. "The worst of the scourge is this thirteen-year-old Haruyuki Hosokawa, who is now a standard addict.

"Come on, I don't know." Hosokawa Nobumoto subconsciously looked at the south bank of Kita-Shirakawa, where Miyoshi Yoshiko and Matsunaga were located. Since it was a guest this time, I didn't bring the Hosokawa family's monomiban, and I felt like a blind man, stupidly waiting for an unknown fate here, which was very uncomfortable.

"Two brothers, it's been more than four months, am I right?" Hosokawa Nobugen looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujiei on both sides, after such a long period of contact, they already admired the head of the Hosokawa family.

"Three cylinders! Rokuro is so insightful, Fujitaka admires, he is worthy of being the head of the Hosokawa family, and I, the Hosokawa and Izumi families, will also help the clan in the shogunate. Hosokawa Fujitaka first stated that he belonged to the figure who would stand in line.

Mibuchi Fujiei glanced at his younger brother, thought for a while and agreed, he knew very well how vicious his brother's eyes were.

"My lord! Lord! A person rushed in from outside the tent, so scared that Hosokawa Nobumoto almost pushed the mahjong in front of him, and the deception was going to be doubled.

No one needs to think about it to know that it's Sanada Masayuki again, but this time he seems to have reacted, and he gave a proper salute first, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Lord Qi, the general mountain castle is being attacked by the Matsunaga family. ”

"Oh? General Mountain Castle? Matsunaga Show? "Hosokawa Nobumoto played a good card leisurely, he is a guest army, and he bothered to bother with this kind of thing.

"Yes, because of this incident, Lord Zuojing has sent 10,000 troops to reinforce it." Masayuki Sanada continued respectfully, looking at Haruyuki Hosokawa out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, Hosokawa Haruki, whose face was not very good, and he was still humming, was very dissatisfied, after all, he was still the nominal general in chief.

"Well, those who achieve great things are not informal. Besides, you're a nominee. "Hosokawa Nobumoto has now unceremoniously lectured his younger brother.

"But brother, I'm still uncomfortable in my heart, why don't I send someone over to ask, I will send troops without saying a word, I don't want to take me, oh no, take you in my eyes, right?" Haruyuki Hosokawa is now very in awe of his brother, but he still has a little childish temper.

"It's already like this, so be it, it's all the military strength of his hexagonal family anyway, and it has nothing to do with us. In addition, the order is passed down and strict precautions are taken. At night, it is also necessary to strengthen night patrols to prevent enemy attacks. Hosokawa Nobumoto mahjong stopped playing, stood up and ordered, the opposite is the "world's most evil" Matsunaga show, he must not be careless, always feel that there is a smell of conspiracy, as if something evil is coming.
