Chapter 531: Get Started
Although Ishikawa Goemon said it very well, but the clan couldn't hear it, the enemy has more than doubled compared to history, and this is entirely his own responsibility, and if Oda Nobunaga had nearly 10,000 monks as enemies, I'm afraid he wouldn't have just sent 1,000 people.
Even if there is a father-in-law who supports himself in Minami Omi, this military strength is still far from good, and the samurai of Minami Omi have just begun to implement the separation of soldiers and peasants, how can such an army be the opponent of the monks and soldiers, and their role is probably only to annihilate the temples that support the Ashikaga family in Minami Omi before the war, which can be regarded as supporting themselves.
Thinking of this, he only heard the clan say: "Ishikawa Goemon, you immediately send someone to Chokoji Castle to inform Shibata-sama, and inform Shibata-sama of those temples involved in this matter, so that he can lead the army to annihilate, even if it cannot be annihilated for a while, you must hold them back, and you can't let them lead the army to support the Ashikaga family." ”
"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it."
Ishikawa Goemon was about to leave after answering, but the clan stopped him again and said, "Wait, you can send someone to Gifu Castle to report the situation here to the lord, and let the lord send reinforcements to come." ”
The clan wanted to transfer the troops under his command to come, although the Takayama army was relieved and easy to use, but when I thought of the level of its training, I was afraid that it would be to meet its own requirements, and it would not be long before the Hida strategy would be launched, if the loss was large, I didn't know when I would be able to occupy it, so after thinking about it, I still gave up.
After Ishikawa Goemon left, the clan looked through the codex again, but the content on it was based on himself everywhere, it can be said that no matter what activities the Ashikaga family has, they must be allowed by themselves, and the clan can see that all this is for the sake of Murai Sadakatsu, and he does this just to maximize his credit, but he doesn't just want to, his mind is not in the mountain castle at all. Instead, he completely pounced on Hida.
Although it is true that he was appointed as the lord of Hida Country, Hida is not the land of his own family, and this resignation is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of others, except that it is valid in the Oda family.
In this era where strength is the most respected. There is no corresponding respect for the people who are in name only. If you want to change, then the only way to do it is to take Hida down.
Originally, I had a good plan.,This Kyoto office will only work for a year at most.,After going back, I'll go all out to carry out the Hida strategy.,Only in this way.,When the world is in turmoil.,Let yourself gain the strength to fight the world.。 But now it's good, in this codex, basically every article has his own name, and now even if he wants to withdraw, he is not in a hurry, but the only thing worth celebrating is that he is the main general of this war, and even his father-in-law is only cooperating, so he can take advantage of this credit to get more benefits. Now, the clan has to think about the benefits.
Early the next morning, the newly arrived 1,000 troops of the Oda family were already neatly arranged in the training center. In addition to them, the three hundred troops of the Gao Shan family are already waiting here.
After the meeting ended yesterday, several samurai gave down the task they were going to carry out tomorrow, although the Oda family did not expect that the person he was going to deal with was the shogun, but the Oda family was extremely strict in governing the army, even if they were surprised in their hearts, but they could only bury this feeling deep in their hearts.
Surrounded by several samurai and more than a thousand troops, the Takayama clan finally began to march towards Nijo Castle.
It seems simple, just throw the codex in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. It's basically done, but if you actually implement it, it's not an easy task.
The first hurdle in front of him is how to enter these two cities, and the clan knows that there are nearly a thousand troops defending the two cities. It wouldn't be good if he only brought a few followers, but this time he brought thousands of troops, and it would be strange if the other party could let himself in happily. …,
And Matsunaga Hide-and others just murdered Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but it was a recent incident, and now the Ashikaga family has been bitten by a snake for ten years, and they are afraid of the well rope for ten years, so it is not easy to enter the city, and it is indeed not an easy thing to lead a large army into the city.
Breaking into the city? It's not that the clan hasn't thought about it, but this method is absolutely unusable, Nobunaga's move is to force the Ashikaga family to do it first, to minimize the impact, if he leads the army to break through the city, this is equivalent to the Oda family to do it first, in this way, the behavior of the family and Matsunaga Show, what is the difference between the three of Miyoshi, even if you don't think about the Oda family, you have to think for yourself.
Lao Tzu's reputation is not good, and it has just improved recently, if he is arrested as the culprit for the murder of the general because of this matter, I am afraid that he will never want to recruit decent retainers in the future, and there is still a big difference between murdering the general and having to defend himself.
That's why along the way, the clan will keep planning, not only how to enter the city, but also what to do after entering the city, all of which are also being considered.
Rakunaka Castle wasn't too far from Nijo Castle, but since the clan had been thinking about it, the speed of travel wasn't very fast.
"Where is Katsusuke Tanaka!" The clan, who had not spoken all the way, finally spoke when he was still a few miles away from Nijo Castle.
Katsusuke Tanaka came to the clan with his horse in his belly and said, "My subordinates are here, please ask the lord to command." ”
"Well, you immediately lead two hundred spears to show your identity, and go to Nijo Castle as fast as possible, remember that as soon as you enter the city, you must have lightning speed to control the city gate, and you must not hurt people's lives until you don't have to."
"It is the lord, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." After speaking, he only listened to his order, and 200 spearmen followed his footsteps towards Nijo Castle.
If the follow-up army can't keep up, then even if the city gate is temporarily controlled, it won't be long before the enemy will recapture it, so that the bloody battle that he least wants to see has to happen, so the follow-up army must keep up, and only by catching the defenders in the city and controlling the city in one fell swoop after capturing the city can he achieve his goal.
Seeing that Tanaka Katsusuke and his troops were getting farther and farther away, they were about to disappear from sight, only to hear the clan sect order again: "Where is the bee house Yorilong." ”
"Your Majesty is here, please ask Takayama-sama to command."
"You immediately lead a thousand troops under your command, keep this distance from the front army to Nijo Castle, and after entering the city, occupy the city as quickly as possible, and if there is resistance, you can deal with it expediently. After taking control of the castle, he immediately sent someone to assist Omiya Keiren in controlling the castle tower. ”
"Yes, please rest assured that Lord Takayama will live up to the trust of the lord."
"Omiya Keiren, you lead Shigeto Bow Ashigaru directly to control the castle tower, if anyone resists......"
Speaking of this, the clan thought about it carefully, the defenders in the castle tower can be regarded as the most trusted army of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, if it is possible to avoid a war by taking the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid it here......
Grandma's, let's start a war, as long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not die, Lao Tzu still has nothing to scruple about, just take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Ashikaga family, besides, as long as the city is controlled, even if you kill some banners, who knows the way, and who dares to say it.
Thinking of this, I saw that the clan sect's face froze, and he said: "If anyone resists, except for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, there will be no mercy!" If any of his retainers resist, take control of them all, and go. ”
Ogong Jinglian just wanted to leave, but he turned his horse's head again, and said with some anxiety: "Lord, when his subordinates leave, only the lord is left, so how can his subordinates rest assured, it's better to ......"...,
"Lord Omiya is going to lead the army with confidence, there is inferior protection here, and nothing will be lost."
As the words fell, more than twenty ninjas wearing eight ninja helmets and lock-style ninja appeared beside the clan.
After seeing this formation, Omiya Keiren finally put his mind at ease, with Ishikawa Goemon and more than 20 ninjas under his command, no one in this mountain city country can hurt the lord.
In the castle tower of Nijo Castle, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is chatting with Hosokawa Fujitaka and others, this time in a battle with the Miyoshi family, although Katsuryuji Castle is in hand, but only one city, more than 10,000 stones, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki's goal is far from the goal, with the goal of seizing the world, how can he be satisfied.
However, he deeply understands that with the current situation, it is more difficult to get more benefits than ascending to the sky if he relies on his own family alone, so he must rely on external forces, so since the war with the Miyoshi family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has not been idle, and has contacted many temples such as Yamashiro and Omi with Wada Yumasa as an envoy, and wants to use the power of the temple to level the three good ones in one fell swoop.
And through the efforts of Wada Yumasa, those temples also decided to support the shogun and seek greater development, so the two different forces hit it off, and today the important ministers of the Ashikaga family gathered in order to talk about how to make good use of this monk's strength.
The meeting has been held for a long time, but the views of the retainers are completely different, Hosokawa Fujitaka believes that the Miyoshi family should be attacked immediately with the help of the monks' strength, and now the Miyoshi family is weak, and the available monk soldiers have reached 6,000 people, it can be said that they are evenly matched with the Miyoshi family, and it is better to wait for the army not to be sent at this time.
And the retainers led by Akechi Mitsuhide, Isshiki Fujinaga, Kyoyoshi Takaji and other retainers believe that at this time, it is necessary to integrate this potential force first, and only in this way can it burst out with stronger combat power, otherwise it will be scattered and there will be no action.
After hearing the two different opinions, Ashikaga Yoshiaki began to hesitate. Although he really wants to eliminate the Miyoshi family immediately, and now that the Miyoshi family is weakening, such an opportunity is rare, but what Akechi Mitsuhide and others said is not unreasonable, and what he is most worried about is whether the family can play a dominant role once he goes out of the army, if not, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for people and cheapen those temples?
