And Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't even look at it, but said to Wada Yumasa, who was seated, "What can you do about it?" ”

Wada Weizheng secretly shouted bad luck in his heart at the moment, now he is the only one in the assessment room, and there is not even a person to help, how can he answer, he is not a Takayama clan, if he can command the thousand Oda army, there is still time to waste here.

At present, except for a few flags, the rest of the army has been transferred to the front, how can there be any excess military strength available, there is no military strength and everything is wild, thinking of this, Hetian Weizheng just wanted to persuade the lord to be calm and not dry, but when he raised his head, he found that the lord was staring at him intently, and he knew that if he couldn't say a reason this time, he would not be able to run away if he was scolded for a while, so he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

Said cautiously: "Lord, I haven't thought of a way for a while......

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was about to have a seizure, so he didn't dare to continue, but the tone of his words changed, and he hurriedly said: "Please stay for a while, my subordinates will definitely be able to figure out a way." ”

After he finished, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's attitude improved somewhat, and he only heard him say, "Don't think about it yet." ”

"Yes, yes." Now Hetian Weizheng can only drag on for a while, but for a while.

However, although it was dragging out time, he was still actively thinking of a way, and it didn't take long, after he went through the ins and outs of this matter in his mind, he had some ideas, and only heard him ask: "I don't know who the lord sent to inform the Oda army the day before yesterday." Let it help the army? ”

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki was a little puzzled after hearing this, he still spoke: "I sent my subordinate Qimoto to inform, hmph, the hateful Oda family." There is also the Gaoshan Clan, after I control the world, I will definitely make you look good. "Since the Takayama clan seemed to disappear out of thin air at a time of crisis, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also hated him directly.

Hetian Weizheng didn't pick up, only heard him speak: "Sure enough, my lord, my subordinates think." Although the flag belongs to the public family, no matter how it is said, the status is still low, and the subordinates think that if the lord is willing to go in person. Then the 1,000 Oda army and the 300 Takayama army will inevitably be at the disposal of the lord. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but nod after hearing this, this is right with Tian Yumasa, although the military strength is true of the Oda family, but as a shogunate, he is the co-master of the world, if Oda Nobunaga is here. It is not good for him to directly mobilize the troops under his command, and now that he is not there, what is there to say, is it not possible that those ashigaru still dare to defy the authority of the general.

Come to think of it. Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't care about praising Wada Yumasa, but said, "Okay." You go with me to Los Angeles at once. ”

Rakunaka Castle is not far from Nijo Castle, so it didn't take long. Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Wada Yumasa had already arrived at the city, and the defending army saw that the general was coming, so they did not dare to stop it.

In the training ground, since it was not training time, most of the ashigaru were resting, but there were still a few people sitting around in an open space talking and laughing.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki urged the reins and went straight for them. "Who is in charge of the city at the moment?"

Seeing that it was the general who arrived, I saw several ashigaru hurriedly kneeling on the ground, and respectfully said: "Lord Hui, the current samurai in the city are Lord Omiya Keiren, and Lord Muto Shunxiu." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was very pleased with their fear, and only heard him speak, "Well, call him and me at once." ”

The arrival of the shogun had to make the two samurai pay great attention to it, and after receiving the report from Ashigaru, the two trotted all the way to the training ground.

"Under the command of Omiya Keiren (Muto Shunhide) see the general." …,

I only heard Ashikaga Yoshiaki say in an unquestionable tone: "You two immediately lead your troops to Katsuryuji Castle to resist the attack of the Miyoshi army, there must be no mistake." ”

Seeing that Muto Shunxiu was about to receive his order, Omiya Jinglian turned his heart sideways, preemptively said: "This... Back to the general, before leaving, my lord strictly ordered his subordinates to wait in the city to guard the city, and not to lead the army into battle, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy, and please... I ask for your forgiveness, Shogun. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, he was a dignified shogun, and this unknown samurai in front of him dared to contradict him, so he only heard him scold: "Bastard, I'm the shogun, what are you two about, and you still want to disobey?" ”

"Also... Please also ask the general to calm his anger, command... Now let's prepare. "Muto Shunhide is just a ashigaru general in the Oda family, and how can he withstand the general's anger, so after finishing speaking, he stood up and went to gather troops.

However, before he could take a step, he was pulled by Omiya Jinglian, although he didn't know why the lord of Lu Dao did not let the army help the general's family, but he knew that Lu Dao, as a samurai, then he had to absolutely obey the orders of the lord, even if the other party was the shogun, if there was no lord's approval, then don't want to transfer a soldier from this Luozhong City.

Thinking of this, Ogong Jing even let go of it, only to hear him say with a tough attitude: "General, if there is no order from my lord, then my command will never send a single soldier." ”

"You ......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but be angry when he saw this, and he stretched out his hand to draw his knife.

Seeing that the lord was angry, Wada Yumasa hurriedly stepped forward and held down the lord, he knew in his heart that if this samurai was killed, the Oda family and the Takayama clan would definitely not give up, even if they didn't dare to attack the land of their own family, but it was not easy to cause chaos to the family with the mind of the Takayama clan? In this way, the main family will be in danger, so it is absolutely impossible to get into trouble with the Oda army now.

Thinking of this, I only heard him ask, "May I ask this lord, I don't know where Lord Takayama is now?" ”

Seeing that the attitude of the general's family finally softened, Omiya Keiren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they no longer fought the idea of more than a thousand Oda troops, then they could rest assured.

However, where the lord is going now, he really doesn't know what to do, so he has to say helplessly: "Back to my lord, my lord didn't tell me where he was going when he left, and I ask your forgiveness." ”

"This lord, now the battle ahead is tight, if the lord does not lead the army forward, the family will not be able to stop the attack of the Miyoshi family, if there is a ...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult for adults to explain to Takayama-sama at that time. ”

Wada Weizheng saw that the lord's toughness was useless to him, so he had to change his way.

"Lord General, please rest assured, in Shimochi Ludo, the head of my family is the duty of the representative of Kyoto, so once the Miyoshi family attacks the original territory of the Ashikaga family, or attacks Kyoto, then the next will definitely not sit idly by."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki lost his temper after hearing this, the samurai in front of him said well, to put it mildly, the duty of the Takayama clan as the representative of Kyoto is only to ensure the safety of Kyoto and his family's territory, and he has no obligation to help him open up the territory, and he helped himself to seize the territory of more than 50,000 stones, and it is more of a favor, alas, he is really enough as a shogun, and he finally saw hope, but he didn't expect it to be dashed so quickly.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki had already figured it out, he didn't show it on his face, and he still said indignantly: "Okay, then you remember your duty." With that, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran out.

Now that he only has the bottom line of the Oda family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is not too worried, no matter what, his territory is worry-free, as for the newly seized land...... One day, when the Ashikaga family becomes stronger, not to mention the land of 50,000 stones, even if the whole world is his own, and the most important thing to do now is how to maximize the benefits, so as soon as he returned to Nijo Castle, he sent someone to recruit Hosokawa Fujitaka back from the front line. …,

"Subordinates, see the lord." After receiving the news that the lord had summoned him, Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly arranged the time for the city defense, and returned to Nijo Castle non-stop.

"Well, I have personally gone to Luozhong Castle just now, although I have not been able to move the Oda army to help, but I have received their promise, as long as the Miyoshi army dares to attack the mountain city, then they will definitely spare no effort to repel the enemy, so that at least the territory of the family is worry-free.

Now how can we make this family more profitable in this battle, I would like to hear your advice. ”

After listening to this, Hosokawa Fujitaka pondered for a while, only to hear him speak: "Lord, the most lacking thing in the family at present is the population, although more than 2,000 ashigaru have been recruited, but these ashigaru families are not in the territory of the family, if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that as soon as the war stops, there will be a phenomenon of escape, even if Ashigaru does not escape, but morale will inevitably be affected."

Therefore, the subordinates believe that the most important thing to do now is to take advantage of the fact that the newly seized land has not been completely lost, and move all the family members under his command to the territory, so that even if this time fails, the lord has obtained more than 2,000 troops at once, as long as he trains strictly for a while, if he wants to go out to Hanoi again, he should not return in vain as this time. ”

After hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, but soon he thought that having said that, how to settle the more than 2,000 ashigaru family members, this has become the biggest problem, although at present, relying on Kyoto's taxes, the family will not have no money to use, but thousands of people came at once, and the family has no savings, and it is far from enough to rely on the taxes just collected.

Thinking of this, I saw Ashikaga Yoshiaki frowning, and said: "Have you ever thought about how to resettle after the migration of the population, the money of this family is limited now, if you fail to settle these civilians, in case of a rebellion, ......" At this point, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is no longer in the mood to continue, in his opinion, this problem is really not easy to solve. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
