Chapter 280 leaves no trouble

Seeing that Hosokawa Fujitaka was a shogunate, he actually knelt down and saluted himself, where did he dare to accept it, only to see him first lean to the side, and then hurriedly stepped forward and helped Hosokawa Fujitaka up, and then ordered someone to take Matsui Yasuyuki to treat his injuries first, so as not to cause Hosokawa Fujitaka to lose a retainer with good ability due to excessive blood loss.

The name of Matsui Yasuyuki, the clan has still heard of it, he was first loyal to Mibuchi Haruto, the father of Hosokawa Fujitaka, and after the Eiroku rebellion, Mibuchi Haruto was killed, and he began to become Hosokawa Fujitaka's retainer from then on.

And his ability is considered to be at the middle level of a second-rate samurai, otherwise, the clan will not bother to care whether he is dead or alive.

After the clan looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka with a resolute face, he said solemnly to Maeda Keiji: "Pass the order, the whole army will set off to rescue Master Juekei." ”

In Nijo Castle, Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi led two thousand ashigaru to kill all the people in the city mercilessly after capturing the castle, including the samurai who had not yet breathed, Ashigaru, and the family members in the city, and even the infant who was still in infancy.

Due to the tight schedule, Matsunaga Shu and the other four did not enter the assessment room, but began to discuss their next move by the city gate.

Although the castle of the Ashikaga family has been captured, and Ashikaga Yoshiki has committed suicide, however, under the rule of the Ashikaga family, there are still three castles, and the remaining strength of the Ashikaga family is also deployed in these three castles.

If the attack on Nijo Castle is not smooth, Matsunaga Shu will not want to fight them, but from the launch of the attack to the present, it has only taken less than an hour, which makes Matsunaga Hide's confidence extremely inflated, he can't help but think that even Ashikaga Yoshiki's castle defense is so lax, then other cities, wouldn't it be almost the same as not defending, such an opportunity, if you don't grasp it, you will regret it in the future, if you can seize all the territory of the Ashikaga family, then the Ashikaga family will have no life.

I only heard Matsunaga Shu speak: "Three adults, now that Nijo Castle has been captured by our army, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has been given the head, and the Ashikaga family has no leader, this is a good time for the family to grow, so I think that I should take advantage of this time to include the 100,000 stone land of the Ashikaga family into the territory of the Miyoshi family, I don't know what the three adults think?" ”

After hearing this, the three of Miyoshi no longer hesitated as they did before they left the army, and they even dared to kill the shogun, so what else did they dare not do.

Therefore, I heard them say in unison, "I would like to listen to my lord's command." ”

Seeing that the three of them agreed without hesitation, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, only to hear him speak: "Three adults, the Ashikaga family's most powerful military strength is now being guarded in the other three castles, and these three castles are, Kotaka Castle led by 80 ashigaru guards led by Isshiki Fujinag, Nakao Castle led by Kumune 80 ashigaru guards, and Ozu Castle led by Yanagisawa Motomasa. ”

After the introduction, I only heard Matsunaga Xiu speak again: "There are not many defenders in each castle, and the other party probably doesn't know that Nijo Castle is in danger of being attacked by the main family, and the defense is not tight, so I think that the current 2,000 troops should be divided into four parts: Lord Miyoshi Nagayi led 500 ashigaru under his command to attack Dataka Castle." Miyoshi Masayasu led 500 ashigaru to attack Nakao Castle.

Iwaki-sama Yumitsu-sama led his command of 500 ashigaru and divided into two parts. The lord led 300 men to attack Ozu, leaving 200 men to defend the castle. In the next, he personally led 500 troops to the Yicheng Temple and killed Jueqing. I don't know what you think. ”

Everyone saw that Matsunaga Xiu offered to lead his own command to attack the Ichishimona Temple, and couldn't help but be very moved, compared with the castle of the Ashikaga family, this Chengji Temple has 200 monks, and the combat power of the monks is already high and ashilight, even if Matsunaga Xiu can lead 500 Ashigaru to kill Jueqing, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. …,

But he stopped such a difficult task, and the three of them felt a little uncomfortable.

However, they didn't know that although this attack on Ichishiji Temple looked dangerous, but in fact it was not dangerous at all, long before the army, Matsunaga Shu had reached an agreement with the abbot of the temple, that is, after the Miyoshi family raised troops, Ichijoji Temple remained neutral, and after the battle, Ichijoji Temple could obtain the original Ashikaga family control of the temple around the 5,000 stone land, Ichijoji Temple and Ashikaga Shogunate are not subordinate to each other, and they are lured by thick profits, how can the monks of Ichijoji Temple not be tempted?

Besides, if you can really get the land of five thousand stones, then the strength of the temple will increase by three percent, and there are not many opportunities to greatly improve the strength like this, so the monks in the temple only discussed for a while, and then agreed to Matsunaga Xiu's proposal, as long as the Miyoshi family led the army to attack, then they would expel Jueqing from the temple and let them go outside the temple dog-eat-dog, which is also the wisdom of the monks of the temple, the reason why they expelled Jueqing from the temple, instead of letting the Sanyoshi army enter the temple, That's because they were afraid that the Miyoshi Army would take this opportunity to break through the Ichicheng Temple by the way.

And Matsunaga Xiu did have this idea before, but when he saw that the monks of Ichicheng Temple were resolute, he had no choice but to give up, so as not to delay the other party's suspicions.

The Miyoshi trio didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, so they only heard Iwaki Tomome, who had the most straightforward personality among them, say: "It's too dangerous for Matsunaga-sama to attack Ichijoji Temple alone, and there are only forty defenders in Ozu, so there is no problem in leading 200 troops to attack, so I am willing to divide another 100 troops to help my lord." ”

After he finished speaking, Miyoshi Changyi and Miyoshi Masaysu also spoke: "What Lord Iwaki said is reasonable, what I am going to attack is just a small city, and I don't need these horses at all, and the next two are also willing to allocate a hundred troops each to help, and please don't shirk." ”

I saw Matsunaga Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "The hearts of the three adults are in the heart, but the matter of attacking the castle of the Ashikaga family is also equally important, and the next attack on the Ichitsura Temple is strategic, the three adults don't have to bother, now the time is pressing, let's wait and act separately, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

The three of them saw that Matsunaga Xiu was resolute and not pretending to shirk, so they didn't persuade anymore, but only listened to them and said: "Then please take care of Matsunaga-sama, and you will take the first step in the inferior." ”

After speaking, the three of them commanded their subordinates to do their own thing. And Matsunaga Xiu first sent a retainer to inform the monks of Ichishira Temple, telling them to abide by the previous agreement, and he himself did not continue to stay, and hurriedly straightened out his subordinates and set off in the direction of Ichishiro Temple.
