Three days later, Hosokawa launched another attack on Kogie Castle, still focusing on reducing losses and training.

Hosokawa Nobumoto is not in a hurry, his own threat has been solved, and Kiikoku, under the auspices of Tayama Takamasa, has fought with the rebels of Koyasan.

On the other hand, Sakuma Nobumori and Takigawa Kazuki actually took the city at any cost, as if they vowed to compare Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"My lord, at present, the Eastern Route Army is making the fastest progress, having already broken through Ichijiang Castle and Sugaura Castle, and the army has advanced to Shinohashi Castle, and has also surrounded Garuto Castle. The Western Route Army also captured Katori Castle and is currently storming Otorii Castle. "Honda Masanobu reported to Hosokawa Nobumoto on the progress of the various armies.

"In addition, His Royal Highness Kitada and His Royal Highness Kobe, the brothers, succeeded Murakami-sama and launched a fierce attack on Kuwana Castle." In the end, Honda Masanobu peeked at Hosokawa Nobumoto.

Sure enough, Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, Kitada Nobuo and Kobe Nobutaka didn't respect the order and came to the southern front to attack the city, but they didn't know what their intentions were.

"Yahachiro, what do you think about this?" This is the first time that someone has challenged Hosokawa Nobumoto's authority.

"Back to the lord, your majesty has seen His Royal Highness Kitada in the Tsushima meeting, although he is arrogant, but he can see that he is still very in awe of you. It's just that this adult lacks political sensitivity and is easily swayed by others, so... His Majesty thought that someone was instigating him behind his back. "Honda Masanobu is very sensitive to people and things, and he is also very good at political analysis.

"Who could that be?" Hosokawa Nobumoto is now more and more inseparable from Honda Masanobu, and looking at the person in front of him who was rated as "Tokugawa's Wisdom Bag" by later generations, it is now necessary to change his name to "Hosokawa's Wisdom Bag", and it is said that he is now writing books to record his political ideas.

"Now the two important ministers that His Royal Highness Kitada relies on, namely Master Kizoku and Master Fujikata Chaosari, must be one of these two, or even both of them are involved."

"Newspaper... Lord! The Fujikata Asanoru of the Kitada family asks to see you! As he spoke, the guards outside the tent entered the tent and reported it.

"Hehe... Lord, it seems that the person who instigated His Royal Highness Kitada is undoubtedly a wooden lord. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Hosokawa Nobumoto asked with interest.

"Lord Fujikata must have come here to seek forgiveness for the head of the family, and a person like him must be the kind of person who has tried hard to persuade him to no avail, and he has come to make amends." Honda Masanobu pinched his mustache and said confidently.

"Well, let him in. I'd like to hear what the Kitada family has to say. "Hosokawa Nobumoto has never given a good face to those who don't obey the rules, even if it's the second son of the lord. This really talks about seniority, and he is still Nobuo Kitata's uncle.

"In Shimoto Fang Chaosei, meet His Highness Hosokawa!" A middle-aged man came in from outside the tent, with a thin face and dressed in plain clothes.

"Lord Fujikata, please, just now we were still talking about it, His Royal Highness Kitada suddenly sent troops to Sangming City, I don't know what the intention is. It's just so that you're here, I wonder if you can help us solve your doubts? As soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto came up, he questioned about disrespecting the order, and there was no greeting at all.

"That's the case..."Fujikata Chaocheng felt the temperature around him plummet, and not only shivered: "My lord is also a thief, and it is indeed wrong for my family to temporarily send troops to besiege the city before I apply to you." Therefore, I came to ask you for my guilt, and I also looked at His Royal Highness Hosokawa Haihan. ”

"Oh? Eager to suppress thieves? Temporarily? Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Fujikata Asanori, probably just wanted to use these few words to prevaricate the past.

"Exactly. The head of my family took on a great responsibility at the beginning, and his prestige was still insufficient, and it was inevitable that others would not obey him. In addition, as the heir of the main hall, the lord cannot fall into the prestige of the main hall at a critical moment, so he decided to take on the role of a party raider, and asked His Royal Highness Hosokawa to be considerate and supportive. Fujikata bowed to the end, and his tone was very sincere.

"Huh?" When Hosokawa Nobumoto heard "the heir of the main hall", he thought that he was holding out the name of Oda Nobunaga to suppress himself. But when I thought about it, I understood what he was trying to say.

Kitada Nobuo is the heir of Oda Nobunaga who forcibly gave the Kitada family, and its main purpose is to annex the Kitada family. Therefore, the struggle for power and profit within the Beitian family has not stopped, and Beitian Gujiao is unwilling, and has been contacting the old department behind his back, waiting for the opportunity to rebuild the Beitian family.

In order to secure his position as the head of the family, Nobuo Kitada had to be tough on some things. And his assistant servant Kizo Shomasa, in order to quickly raise his prestige, often made dangerous moves, and the failure of the forced conquest of Iga came from the advice of Kizoku Masa.

"In other words, this attack on Kuwana Castle without my permission is also to indirectly raise the prestige of Kitada Nobuo." Hosokawa Nobumoto closed his eyes and thought silently, and the Fujigata Asagi below did not dare to make a sound.

"I see... It was my fault not to take into account the situation of His Highness Kitada. This time, the command of the Southern Route Army will be handed over to His Highness Kitada, and the Navy Army will also be under his command. Hosokawa decided to take a step back and salvage Kitada Nobuo's prestige. After all, only the emotions of Takigawa Kazuki and Sakuma Nobumori were considered at the beginning, so the soldiers were divided into three ways and performed their own duties.

didn't think about it, but it indirectly reduced the prestige of Kitada Nobuo, but he inherited the position of the national secretary of the Kitada family, but there was no place for him in the three-way army, which made him how to deal with himself at home. That's why he followed the advice of Mu Zao Guzheng and forcibly took down the strategy of the Southern Route Army.

"Thank you for your understanding! Thank you for your support! Fujigata kowtowed again and again, grateful. Originally, he was against Kitada Nobuo cutting first and then playing, but the young and vigorous Nobuo still insisted on going his own way. Therefore, he hurried over to save the lord.

Seeing off Fujikata Chaocheng, Honda Masanobu said with a little concern: "Lord, hand over the south road to His Royal Highness Kitada for strategy, and His Majesty has no objection." It's just that this naval army was also handed over to him to command, and his subordinates knew that this was helping him boost his prestige, but would there be something wrong? ”

"Hahaha, Yahachiro, you're too worried, hand over the water army to him, I do have the intention of redeeming. But the navy is a navy after all, and he can't use it as a foot army, so don't worry, there will be no problem. Even if he is really brain-dead to such an extent, I'm afraid that Fujigata Asanori and other important ministers will stop him. Hosokawa Nobugen laughed, he thought that Honda Masanobu was worried that Kitada Nobuo would be brain-dead enough to fight with the water army.

"Yes, that may be the minister's overthinking. In addition, Kogijiang Castle's resistance is getting weaker and weaker. In addition to the hardliners, what will happen to the ordinary people in the city is also for the Lord to announce! ”

"Hey... Let them convert and let them live..."Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but think of the scene at Mt. Hiei again, and couldn't bear that kind of tragedy to happen again. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
