Chapter 285: Parting Ways (Today's First Update)

Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but look at the Takayama clan, seeing that his face was calm, and he didn't show a sarcastic look because of Jueqing's gaffe, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the other party didn't care too much about these subsections, otherwise, even if his face was lost, Jueqing could not be faceless, he was not so open-minded, although now Hosokawa Fujitaka has recognized Jueqing as the master, but, in his heart, he still regards Ashikaga Yoshiki as the lord.

Seeing that Jueqing took a step back, the clan sect did not speak, but looked at himself blankly, and couldn't help but repeat again: "I have seen Master Jueqing in the Lower Gaoshan Clan Sect." ”

This time, Jueqing came to his senses, only to hear him stumble and say: "Gao... Takayama-sama's rescue... Saving grace, Jueqing... If Jueqing can take power in the future, he will definitely repay him twice. ”

"In this way, the clan will thank you first." After the clan said solemnly, he opened his mouth and continued: "Master, this is not the place to speak, and according to Hosokawa-sama, Nijo Castle has now been captured by the Miyoshi family, and the territory is full of wind and smoke, which is really not suitable for the master to live, and the master is responsible for the restoration of the Ashikaga shogunate, so it is not suitable to take risks."

And my father-in-law, since he succeeded to the governor, has been bent on helping the family to restore its former prestige, but after a few years of conquest, now, in order to control Owari, Mino, Mikawa and one county, part of the land in Kitaise, Shitaka has reached as much as 1.2 million, if the master is willing to go to the Oda family with him, then I can guarantee that my lord will help the master restore the family name. I wonder what the master thinks? ”

Hearing what the other party said, Jueqing obviously didn't have the idea of leading his subordinates to help him regain the territory now, but if he used the power of the Oda family, it would be a good idea to revive the Ashikaga family.

This Takayama clan is just an insignificant general of the Oda family, but even he has such strength, how strong will the Oda family be, if he is willing to send an army, and after restoring the family name, he will use his military strength to uproot the Miyoshi family in one fell swoop, then the world will really be peaceful.

Thinking of this, Jueqing couldn't help but get excited, and just as he was about to say yes, he immediately swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth.

He suddenly thought that he and Oda Nobunaga were not close to each other, and they had never even met each other, and this Takayama clan was just a small general, how could he dare to be the master of such a big matter, and promise himself so surely?

Will there be fraud in this time, now is not the same as before, but he is responsible for the restoration of the Ashikaga shogunate, in case he arrives at Oda's house, the other party will do everything possible to shirk, then it will delay the big thing.

It seems that if you want to restore your family name, you should also find a famous name who knows the truth and is loyal, and in an instant, Jueqing changed his mind, and he also thought of two candidates.

One is the current head of the Rokkaku family who has been friends with him for many years, Rokkaku Yoshiji, this person has been a monk for many years, basically every month will send people to visit, sometimes he will come in person, and his attitude towards himself is even more good, and he once promised himself that if he encounters difficulties, he must go to him for help, he was not the governor of the Hexagon family back then, and now he has succeeded to the throne, and has mastered the power of the Hexagonal family, if he asks him to help restore the family name, presumably the other party will not refuse.

And, the most important thing is that starting from here, arriving at the hexagonal home city Guanyin Temple City, it is not too far, only about two days away, and the road is also very smooth, if he is willing to send troops to help, within seven days, he will be able to return to Nijo Castle, and when the time comes, he will be rewarded for it, and the other party will be grateful to treat virtue, and then make him deal with the Miyoshi family, even if he can't make the Miyoshi family perish, at least he can ensure that the Miyoshi family has no time to harass himself again. …,

Of course, this is thinking about the good side, but there is a case for everything, in case Rokkaku Yoshiji is afraid of the strength of the Miyoshi family and does not send troops to help, then only the second candidate can be considered.

And this second candidate is the Asakura family, the head of the Asakura family, Asakura Yoshikage, although he has nothing to do with himself, but, everyone in the world knows that the Asakura family is the first to stand up and support the family after receiving the edict from his brother, and after him, there is Maori, the mountain and other forces to support, it can be said that if there is no Asakura family, there will be no scene of the world's heroes supporting the family.

Moreover, when he corresponded with his brother, he mentioned many times that as long as his family was in need, he would send troops to respond at any time, and since he could make such a promise, he must have been willing to send troops to help him if he went to Echizen.

As long as he is willing to lead the army and set an example, then the daimyo who was willing to help his family regain its prestige will definitely send troops to correspond, so it is not easy to gather the combat power of the world's heroes and want to annihilate the three good families? As for the Oda family, it seems that it is better not to go.

Thinking of this, Jueqing had already recovered from the panic just now, and only heard him speak: "Thank you Takayama-sama for your kindness, Jueqing understands it, but I have already thought of a better way, so I won't go to Owari with my lord, of course, if the Oda family can hold high the banner of righteousness and lead the army to help, then I won't look at the credit of the Oda family." ”

After speaking, Jueqing looked at the sky, now the sun is about to set, if he continues to entangle with this Gaoshan clan, then it will be delayed for a day, now Jueqing is full of thoughts about reviving the family name immediately, and succeeding to the position of general, there is no time to delay, even if the clan is a life-saving benefactor, he will not allow him to delay his precious time.

Seeing that he was unwilling to follow him to Oda's house, he had already guessed what he was thinking at the moment, and couldn't help but scold him in his heart for not knowing what to do, if he didn't want to bring Hosokawa Fujitaka into his command earlier, he would be too lazy to care about his life or death.

However, such a great opportunity, the clan was really unwilling to give up, so he only heard him persuade again: "Master, I think that at present, with the strength of the Miyoshi family, there are not too many forces in the world that can compete with it, and Oda is just one of them, if you don't eradicate the root this time, even if the master takes back the territory, it will be unstable, so I think it is better to go to Owari and seek help from my lord." ”

After the clan finished speaking, Hosokawa Fujitaka also echoed: "My lord, my subordinates think that what Takayama-sama said is reasonable, and if the lord can't subdue the Miyoshi family at one time, he will cause trouble in the future."

As far as the subordinates know, the Oda family has accepted the advice of Takayama since the battle between the barrels and narrows, and implemented the separation of soldiers and peasants and the sword hunting order system, and now the Oda family has tens of thousands of elite armor, if the lord goes, when the Oda army goes out, the Miyoshi family will be destroyed invisible, and when the time comes, the land that cannot be conquered, and the land controlled by the family is more than one million stone in, so it can be regarded as the revival of the Shori family. ”

Speaking of this, Hosokawa Fujitaka said again: "If the lord is unwilling to go in person, then the subordinates are willing to do it for him, and ask the lord to decide." ”

Jue Qingnai listened to him finish speaking, and couldn't help but say with a cold face: "You don't have to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, Lord Gao Shan, let's separate." ”

Seeing that his mind had been decided, the clan knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, he could not change the other party's mind, so he did not persuade him, but said: "Since this is the case, the clan sect will say goodbye first." After speaking, he reluctantly glanced at Hosokawa Fujitaka, turned over his horse, led his elite armor to ride, and went straight to the direction of Owari. …,

And Kakukei took Hosokawa Fujitaka to the residence of the Rokkaku family, Kannonji Castle.

Although it was the clan that left first, he didn't have to run far before he ordered the team to stop and stand by in the woods beside the road.

The clan couldn't help but think that this Jueqing only had martial arts around him and was not proficient in Hosokawa Fujitaka was responsible for protection, if the army of the Miyoshi family went and returned, then the lives of this Jueqing and Hosokawa Fujitaka would definitely not be guaranteed.

Even if the army of the Miyoshi family does not come, in this time of chaos and banditry, it is inevitable that accidents will occur, anyway, there is still some wealth from the time specified by Nobunaga, and he happens to be on the way with the two of them, so it is better to send people along the way to protect their safety, at least Hosokawa Fujitaka can't be hurt in the slightest.

After about a meal, after Kakukei and Hosokawa Fujitaka passed through this place, there was no Miyoshi family army chasing after them, and the clan was completely relieved, so he ordered ten elite armor horsemen to protect the safety of the two along the way, and he led the rest of the army to rush to Gifu Castle.

The clan and Kakukei and the others headed west, while Matsunaga Shu and his sons, after gathering the remnants of the army, went around in a circle and headed towards the opposite Ashikaga family's territory.

Matsunaga Xiu silently looked at the hundreds of dejected ashigaru behind him, and couldn't help sighing, since he came out, although there have been times of failure, but it was only a small defeat, and this, but it made his Matsunaga family hurt his muscles and bones, and the most important thing for him to feel helpless, and what made him realize was that the opponent's army was only two percent of his own, but his own Ashigaru had not yet fought with it and all fled, it seems that in the face of strong combat power, the number of people is useless, this is at most just adding casualties.

At this moment, Matsunaga Show has thoroughly thought clearly, and after going back, he must refine the military momentum, rather than feeding two thousand Ashigaru with low combat power, it is better to train five hundred elite troops, before, when he learned that the Oda family was engaged in the separation of soldiers and farmers and the sword hunting order, he also wanted to try, however, he was afraid that there would be too much disarmament, which would lead to a decline in combat power, so he had not been able to make up his mind, and today he saw that the army under the command of the Takayama clan was so strong, Matsunaga Xiu did not have any hesitation, if he didn't have to go to meet with the three of Miyoshi and discuss countermeasures, he has long since returned to the land under his rule.

As for the large amount of money needed to arm the ashigaru, Matsunaga Shu is not at all distracted, although he doesn't have it, but the Miyoshi family has it, and with the financial resources of the Miyoshi family, it is easy to arm a thousand ashigaru.

Moreover, Matsunaga Shu does not intend to be like the clan sect, arming his ashigaru to the teeth, as long as it exceeds the general strength of Ashigaru, in his opinion, Ashigaru is just a consumable, if someone dies, it will be supplemented, anyway, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to fight with the Takayama clan in this life, why do I have to compete with it, thinking of this, Matsunaga Hide's face returned to its previous brilliance.
