Three days passed quickly, and Naoto Ii also brought her reply, agreeing to the marriage, and proposing to form a new riding team for her.

Hosokawa Nobumoto was overjoyed to hear the news of the agreement, but frowned when he heard that a new horse team had been formed. Now his territory is only about 5,000 koku in total, and his own armament is already over-established, which has also caused a lot of criticism from his colleagues in the Oda family.

Seeing Hosokawa Nobumoto's unhappy expression, Naoka Ii knew that her request was too much, but she didn't want to take it back. After all, now that their mother and son (Husong's adopted son) are helpless, they can't marry him without evidence, in case they regret it halfway, but they really don't regret taking medicine, so they can only admit it.

"Hmm~~ Otherwise, I'll also think about it for three days, after all, I'm serious, not someone who gives promises casually." Hosokawa Nobugen couldn't help it, so he came to a procrastination trick first.

"Then I'll wait for news from the adults." Jing Yi Naohu nodded approvingly, and half of the worry in his heart was gone, after all, people who attach so much importance to their promises should not break their promises.

Coincidentally, news came from Kyoto that General Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Nagakei broke up again and summoned the world to ask for it. The cause of this incident is also slightly related to Hosokawa Nobumoto, since the last time Hosokawa Nobumoto's fanfare Kamiraku visited General Yoshiteru and sought the post of Owari Guardian for Oda Nobunaga, General Yoshiki began to buy people's hearts on a large scale, first expanding Mori Motosa, Otomo Yoshizhen, Saito Yoshiryu, Imagawa Shinma, Takeda Shintora, etc., into the accompanying public, and then giving them at will as if they didn't want money.

These things had seriously violated the interests of the Miyoshi family, and in order to contain the shogun's family, they first began to intercept a large amount of money obtained by Ashikaga Yoshiteru from the Kanai trade, and then imprisoned Hosokawa Harumoto in Fumenji Temple, intending to isolate the Hosokawa family's support for the shogun's family.

This made Ashikaga Yoshiteru also anxious, and directly appointed Hosokawa Haruki as the general general, and Rokkaku Yoshiken and Tayama Takamasa assisted him, and sent troops to attack Miyoshi Chokei. Oda Nobunaga also received an edict to fight, and after thinking for a while, he decided to invade Mino Province on the pretext of opening up Mino Province and rushing to the aid of the Shogun's house. and ordered Hosokawa Nobumoto to be the vanguard to pass through Mino Province first and go to the Rokkaku Family Alliance to listen to the order, which can be regarded as a gesture for himself.

In order to maneuver quickly, Hosokawa Nobumoto only led a hundred Netherworld Iron Cavalry and set off for Omi Province, and by the way, he incorporated Ii Naotora into the riding team and served as the head of the horseback riding team.

Hosokawa Nobumoto and his entourage traveled for several days in a row, and they arrived at the Rokkaku family main camp outside the 'Shogunyama Castle'.

In this joint battle, the Rokkaku family and the Tayama family sent troops at the same time, and Tayama Takamasa led the important ministers Yasumi Sobo, Yuzo Nobukyo, and Yukawa Naomitsu to lead 10,000 troops to approach the Miyoshi family's important stronghold in Gyeonggi and Tada Castle, and it happened that the original garrison Shihe Ichicun had just died inexplicably.

Rokkaku Yoshiken also led 20,000 Omi people out of battle, stationed in Shogun Mountain Castle, peeking into Kyoto, and the Wada Mountain family echoed from afar, forming a flanking attack.

Miyoshi Chokei of Iimoriyama Castle also reacted quickly, and ordered his sister-in-law, Miyoshi Yoshiko, the lord of Akutagawa Mountain Castle, to lead 7,000 Settsu people to enter Umezu Castle, and ordered Shin Guishan Castle Lord Matsunaga to lead 7,000 Yamato people to enter Koizumi Castle in Kyosaiin and fight against the Rokkaku family.

He also ordered his younger brother, Miyoshi Yoshiken, the lord of Takaya Castle, to reinforce Kishiwa Tada Castle as the general general, and led Miyoshi Yasunaga, Miyoshi Masayasu, Shinohara Nagabo and other important ministers of the Miyoshi family, and controlled the armies of Awaji, Awa, and Kawachi to fight against the Tayama family.

"Brother! Since you're here, I'll leave the position of general to you. "In the big tent of the Hosokawa family's army, the brothers Hosokawa Nobumoto and Hosokawa Haruyuki talked together.

"Hehe, my stupid brother, your position as a general is just a false hat, just with the prestige of our Hosokawa family. Look, we're a soy sauce fighter in this joint battle. Hosokawa Nobumoto yawned and looked at his thirteen-year-old brother.

"Hosokawa-sama is right." Two men in their thirties came in from outside the account.

"Hehe, it's with Ichiro and Yashiro, come and sit. What Hosokawa-sama is not a big person, it seems that our brothers have more children, call me Rokuro. Hosokawa Nobugen beckoned Hosokawa Fujitaka (with Ichiro) and Mibuchi Fujiei (Yashiro) to sit down, don't look at their two seedlings, but they are half-brothers, both tributaries of the Hosokawa family. Look at the two of them have a rattan character, that is, the original general Yoshiki gave the bias, it can be seen how prestigious the Hosokawa family is, even General Yoshiki wants to envelop the Hosokawa family and appoint Hosokawa Haruyuki, the doll of the Hosokawa clan, as the chief general.

"Then in this case, I won't be polite, Rokuro, can things go smoothly?" Hosokawa Fujitaka was the first to speak, and now he and his brother Mibuchi Fujiei were both shogunates of the shogunate family.

The so-called shogunate, who sounds very bullish, is actually a samurai directly under the general's family, who serves the general in peacetime and goes out with the general in wartime. In fact, it is the same type as Hosokawa Nobumoto's side, but the title is good, similar to the difference between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

"Is it going to go well?" Nobumoto Hosokawa didn't understand why Fujitaka Hosokawa asked this.

"Don't you know? So why are you here? Mibuchi Fujiei also asked in surprise.

"Didn't the Gongfang Palace give the Oda family an edict to crusade against the Miyoshi family? Is there any other meaning to be ordered to beg for thieves? "Hosokawa Nobumoto became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Huh? Rokuro, don't you know that the secret order of the Gongfang Palace to attack the Miyoshi family this time was not only issued to the Oda family, but also the Mori family, the Asakura family, the Otomo family, the Uesugi family, the Kitada family, the Takeda family, and even the Imagawa family. In fact, it is to test the reactions of each family and see if it can solve the three good homes at one time. Hosokawa Fujitaka explained in surprise, strange about the plan of this matter, and the Gongfang Hall did not inform Hosokawa Nobumoto in advance.

Recently, General Yoshiki has been constantly starting to inflate himself, and he is almost impatient to destroy the Miyoshi family. If it weren't for some resourceful people like Hosokawa Fujitaka to check for him and suppress his unrealistic ambitions, I'm afraid that General Yoshiki would have died many times.

"Yes, didn't the Gongfang Palace order you to coordinate from outside?" Mibuchi Fujiei also echoed on the side, they all knew that Hosokawa Nobumoto had wandered away from the eastern country in his early years, and his relationship with the Uesugi and Takeda families was very harmonious.

"What! The Gongfang Palace, this is going to engage in a three-good encirclement network. Hosokawa Nobumoto was very impressed by General Yoshiki's generosity, but unfortunately it was unrealistic.

"Miyoshi siege network? Rokuro's metaphor is very apt, this time because of your arrival, we thought everything was ready, as long as the protection of the eastern kingdom began to respond, the other western kingdoms should also respond, and eventually the shogunate will be revitalized. Hosokawa Fujitaka did not shy away from his family, and said his plans, they followed General Yoshiki since childhood, and naturally they were loyal to the sun and the moon.

"That's it~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "It's a pity that you miscalculated, I came this time, just to simply deal with the edict, my lord's primary direction now is the Mino strategy, and he will not come." And I don't think the other princes will come, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time. ”
