Since Hosokawa Fujitaka said this idea, he already had a full consideration, and only heard him speak: "Don't worry about the lord, my subordinates have thought of this a long time ago, the Oda family moved thousands of people from their own territory before, and now there are many vacant houses in the various villages in the territory, as long as those civilians are scattered to live in various villages, in this way, it doesn't cost too much money at all, and when they arrive, it is just the season to cultivate, and now that someone has land, there is no need to worry about the harvest."

As long as the family can persist through this most difficult year, then when the soldiers are sufficient, it will be the day when the family is strong. ”

After hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki felt quite excited, only to see him stand up and say excitedly: "Okay, okay, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible." ”

"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After saying that, he was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

He knew that although the lord was very anxious, he didn't know much about the battle situation ahead, and the lord was responsible for the battle, but after all, this was a big deal, and it was better not to make your own decisions.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Lord, my subordinates think that if the family continues to fight with Miyoshi like now, then the remaining three cities will definitely not be protected." According to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to give up the two cities except for Shenglong Temple City and transfer all the troops of his family into Shenglong Temple City.

Now that it is about to be the busy season of farming, as long as you stick to that moment, the subordinates think that the Miyoshi family will inevitably return to the army in order not to delay the harvest, in this way, at least the family still has some gains in this battle, and the stone height controlled by the two small cities outside the Shenglong Temple City is limited, and it is not easy to control, rather than being taken away by the Miyoshi family. It's better to take the initiative to retreat, so that the certainty of holding the Shenglong Temple City will be greater, I don't know what the lord thinks. ”

Voluntarily relinquishing territory? Ashikaga Yoshiaki is really a little difficult to choose, if the family has a huge territory. It's nothing to let him give up a few thousand stone territory, but now there are only so many territories in the Ashikaga family, how can he not feel distressed if he gives up so much at once?

However, when he thought that even if he didn't give up, he couldn't keep the city, so he could only compromise, so that at least there was hope to keep the castle.

The city of Thanh Long Temple stands on the border between the mountain city and Hanoi. The height of the controlled stone reaches ten thousand stones, as long as the Shenglong Temple City can be in his hands, these few months will not be in vain.

Moreover, the location of Shenglong Temple Castle is very important, and it is also the gateway between Yamashiro Province and Hanoi Province, so if you want to attack Wanai in the future, it will be much more convenient, and as long as you have this castle in hand, you can also ensure the safety of the territory. At least not when his brother Yoshiki is in power, the enemy can easily enter and exit the Yamashiro country.

Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could only say helplessly: "Okay." Just do as you say. ”

After Hosokawa Fujitaka received the order, he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

It is not difficult to make the ashigaru of the two cities retreat to Katsuryuji Castle, although the enemy has a lot of troops, but it is necessary to attack the three cities, and if it is divided equally, it is not enough to surround the city, and this retreat was chosen at night, and there was no warning, so the evacuation of the ashigaru in the city did not alarm the Miyoshi army outside the city. It wasn't until the next day, when they attacked again, that they realized that the city in front of them had already become empty.

The retreat of the Ashikaga family began only four days after Hosokawa Fujitaka met Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and during those four days. Every night, there will be a foot light sneaking out of the city, responsible for moving the civilians in the village, but in order not to alarm the Miyoshi army, the population they moved is basically a relatively remote village, or the population of the village under the rule of the Miyoshi army. …,

The reason why Hosokawa Fujitaka dared to make such a bold arrangement was because he knew that the territory that was recaptured by the Miyoshi family was now the time when the defense was the emptiest, and if he didn't go at this time, he would wait when.

However, under the attack of the enemy, it is not easy to move the population away, first, for fear of making too much noise and attracting the Miyoshi Army, and secondly, even if the civilians are willing to go to the Yamashiro Country, it is not easy to leave under the nose of the Miyoshi Army.

Therefore, in four days, the population that moved away was only a few hundred, and even if the population of the villages around Shenglongsi Castle was added, it was only about 1,000 households.

As soon as the four days passed, Hosokawa Fujitaka could only give up temporarily, of course, this was only temporary, he had to wait for the Miyoshi army to retreat, and wait for the enemy to retreat, so take advantage of the fact that the Miyoshi family was not stable here, and migrate.

Although the clan has been staying in the sparrow house in Kyoto, he is very concerned about the war between the Miyoshi family and the Ashikaga family.

When he learned about the Ashikaga family's approach, he couldn't help but nod secretly, if it were his own, he would definitely do it, like this, in the Ashikaga family, I'm afraid only Hosokawa Fujitaka can come up with it.

Irijin Akechi Mitsuhide has secretly returned to the Oda family, I don't know when Hosokawa Fujitaka will be moved, and now I'm afraid that he is still wholeheartedly supporting Ashikaga Yoshiaki, I'm afraid that even if he tries to persuade him, he can't change his mind for the time being, it seems that only after Oda Nobunaga puts pressure on the Ashikaga family, he will change.

Thinking of this, the clan didn't bother to do anything like Hosokawa Fujitaka, but took Katsusuke Tanaka out of the sparrow house and went straight to the dojo.

Although Hida hasn't arrived yet, he is nominally the lord of a country, and as the lord of the country, a big name, the martial arts are almost nothing, but if you don't know martial arts, then you will be laughed at by others.

Because Kyoto is dilapidated, there are very few samurai and ronin here, so the entrance to the dojo should have been empty, but what people didn't expect is that today it is very different.

As soon as the clan clan turned into this street that was not too wide, he found that many groups of people were talking in low voices, walking in the direction of the dojo, among them were merchants, ronins, and of course, more civilians, and the clan felt very strange about this, so he quickened his march.

"Get out of the way, my lord is coming, don't get out of the way quickly." At this time, the door of the dojo was already full of people, and as far as the eye could see, there were no less than hundreds of people, and Tanaka Katsusuke saw that the door was already blocked by the crowd, so he hurriedly ordered Ashigaru to clear a road for the lord.

Those civilians saw that the clan was dressed luxuriously and had a sword stuck in their waists, and they knew that the other party must be a noble samurai without asking, so as soon as the ashigaru who opened the way in front finished speaking, the people in front of them retreated one after another, making a way for the clan, and even more at this time, they were already kneeling on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

They knew in their hearts that if they made the samurai in front of them unhappy, then what awaited them was a dead end, and in this era, if the samurai wanted to kill them, no one would care.

As soon as I stepped into this dojo, I saw more than a dozen apprentices in military uniforms, lying on the floor, with painful moans coming from their mouths from time to time.

Looking ahead, there were two people standing at the front of the dojo, one of whom was over four years old, and the other looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The man in his forties had met the clan once, and this person was the teacher of this dojo, Yoshioka Constitution, but he had not yet served as a martial arts teacher of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, so now he can only be regarded as a businessman who makes a living by teaching martial arts. …,

And the young man looks very eye-catching, this person looks extremely handsome, it can be said that as a man, with such a look, it can already be described as a demon, his first feeling to the clan is that a talent like him, it is a waste not to be a small surname, but, looking at the situation in this dojo, it is obvious that he is not a small surname, but came to play in the hall.

Kicking in front of Yoshioka's constitution, this young man's courage is really not small, don't look at the sword in the young man's hand, it is much longer than the ordinary, but the clan believes that even so, I'm afraid he must not be the opponent of Yoshioka constitution.

As soon as the clan entered the dojo, although neither Yoshioka nor the boy looked back, they already knew that someone had entered the dojo.

I only heard the young man say lightly: "The museum is closed today, go out!" ”

Before the clan clan could speak, he heard Katsusuke Tanaka say angrily: "Presumptuous! My father-in-law is currently the head of the Kyoto office, and I can't go anywhere in Kyoto. ”

The young man didn't feel anything after hearing it, but after listening to Yoshioka's constitution, he felt a pang in his heart, the current Kyoto Division, isn't that the master of the Takayama clan, and his own dojo is open in Kyoto, so if you offend anyone, you can't offend him.

I saw that Yoshioka Constitution first took two steps back, and then hurriedly put away his momentum, walked quickly to the front of the clan, saluted and said: "I see Lord Takayama below, I don't know that Lord Takayama is coming, I have missed the welcome, and I ask Lord to atone for his sins." ”

As a teacher at the Kyoto Dojo, although Yoshioka Constitution taught many samurai, and even the shogun studied martial arts with him back then, he was not a real samurai, so when he met the Takayama clan, he was very respectful.

And the young man also walked over, just nodding lightly to the clan, his face full of arrogance.

I only heard him say lightly: "Lord Takayama, in Shimosaki Kojiro, today is the day of the martial arts contest with Yoshioka Constitution, if you don't want to leave, then please watch the battle from the sidelines." After saying that, he didn't take a second look at the clan at all, but focused his attention on Yoshioka Constitution again.

Sasaki Kojiro spoke again: "Yoshioka, today's competition has already been decided three months ago, so don't waste time." He was afraid that Yoshioka Constitution would postpone the date when he saw someone coming, so he reminded him. (To be continued.)
