Not for a long time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki under the protection of several retainers and more than ten banners, trembling into the assessment room, and when he saw that the clan was sitting on the main seat that belonged to him, he was already angry, and he was almost fainted, only to see him pointing at the Takayama clan with his hand trembling, and he didn't know what to say.

"You... You... How dare you ......"

Clan Zong looked down and said with a smile: "The general can't even keep the world, so why care about this one seat, haluha, but since the general wants to sit, then it's up to you to sit down." ”

"You... Traitor, today is your death, come, kill me. ”

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshiaki's voice fell, before his retainers could pull out their swords, Banner Ashigaru raised his spear, and nearly thirty spears under the command of Katsusuke Tanaka had already surrounded him at the first time.

After hesitating, the other dozen or so Oda soldiers also followed, under the leadership of Beehouse Yoritaka.

This move by the Takayama clan is nothing more than an attempt to completely provoke Ashikaga Yoshiaki and use this simple method to humiliate him, so as to speed up his move.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the clan doesn't want to make trouble, so it's important to get down to business.

Thinking of this, I only heard him say, "Okay! This clan clan led the army to come, not to be an enemy of the general's family, but to protect, such as the world chaos, my lord of the family knows that the Ashikaga family is weak, in order to avoid the murder of the former general, so my lord sent troops into Nijo Castle to help the public defense, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, so the clan can only make this decision, first enter the city and then explain. I also ask for forgiveness from the Shogun and all of you. ”

When the clan said this, he didn't want to make things irreconcilable, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki was on top of his anger at the moment, so how could he appreciate it.

"Hmph, there's a lot of nonsense. What the hell do you want to dare. The clan did not speak, but glanced at the bee house Ryū, and the bee house Ryū immediately understood, and hurriedly ordered Ashigaru. forced the remaining ten Yu Ming banners of the Ashikaga family out of the country.

After Ashikaga Yoshiaki sat on the throne after only the samurai were left in the assessment room, he saw the codex written by Murai Sadakatsu, the commander of the clan, out of his arms, and presented it respectfully in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and said: "Lord General, this is what my lord of the family asks for the government, and I also ask the Lord General to take a look." ”

It's coming. Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki was full of anger, however, the form was stronger than the human being, and he had to bow his head.

And the reason why he dared to fight with the Gaoshan Clan Sect at such a time just now was not because he was confused by anger, but now when he calmed down a little, in addition to anger, he was somewhat afraid. So he reluctantly took the humiliating codex, and kept silently reciting in his heart: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

But when he opened it, he just read one. He threw the codex to the ground and scolded: "I am a dignified shogun, Oda Nobunaga dares to do this, and I am inseparable from the Oda family." ”

Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki still had illusions in his heart, the clan couldn't help but feel very sympathetic to him, the situation had reached such a point, he couldn't even see the situation clearly, and the destruction of the Ashikaga family was really not unjust.

The clan clan smiled slightly, and said, "General, the matter has come to this point, and you can't help it. "Speaking of which, the clan doesn't look at Ashikaga Yoshiaki at all. Instead, he ordered to himself: "Bee House Lailong, you lead five hundred troops to take over this city." ”

"Yes, your command will definitely live up to the trust of Lord Takayama."

"Lord Wise, all the affairs of the city and the safety of the general will be entrusted to you." Originally, the content of the codex was to let the clan take full responsibility for this matter, but according to the clan sect, although it would be a great achievement if this matter was done. And it must be done in the face of absolute strength, but this matter has too much impact on reputation, so the clan does not plan to show up, just operate it behind the scenes, and let Wise Guangxiu toss them in front of the stage. …,

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't expect Takayama-sama to be so generous, he originally thought that he could be a deputy, and he would be content with Takayama-sama, but he didn't expect that Takayama-sama would let himself be fully responsible for this matter, which... Doesn't that mean that all the credit is given to oneself?

"Thank you Takayama for your cultivation, this matter will definitely live up to Takayama-sama's expectations."

"Akechi Mitsuhide, you ......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but shout when he saw that Akechi Mitsuhide dared to unite with outsiders to deal with him.

"By the way, Lord Shogun, I forgot to inform you that Lord Wise thought that he had returned to the Oda family before, and the lord of my family appreciated Lord Wise very much, and in addition to accepting his fate as a general, he gave him 4,500 stones."

After listening to this, Akechi Mitsuhide felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although not a single word that Takayama said was false, but in front of the former lord, saying it with so many colleagues still made him feel very uncomfortable, after all, no one was embarrassed to admit that he was a traitor.

However, Akechi Mitsuhide blushes and blushes, and resentment returns resentment, but if it were changed to a Takayama clan, he would do the same, and this is a good opportunity to divide the retainers of the Ashikaga family, and I am afraid that after that, the retainers of the Ashikaga family will have to think about their future.

There were Akechi Mitsuhide, Bee House Yoryu and 500 troops in Nijo Castle, so it could be said that they didn't have to worry about it at all, so after making some arrangements, the clan led the rest of the army back to Najung Castle.

In the Nijo Castle assessment room, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was making a big fuss, and he had been scolding the Oda family and the Takayama clan, but he didn't mention the matter of the monks, not because he didn't want to say it, but because Akechi Mitsuhide was present.

When sending the Takayama clan to leave, Akechi Mitsuhide had already heard from his mouth what the lord meant, that is, to break the Ashikaga family to do it first, so he knew that Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't take Ashikaga Yoshiaki too closely, otherwise, I don't know when Ashikaga would be able to achieve this goal.

Since the departure of the Takayama clan, the assessment meeting has been going on for more than an hour, and Akechi Mitsuhide saw that he had no intention of ending, so he didn't need to excuse what was going on, so he got up and said goodbye, giving Ashikaga Yoshiaki a full opportunity to conspire with his subordinates.

As for the content of their conspiracy, he was not worried that he would not know about the Oda family, and after returning to the Oda family, he began to actively woo him, hinting that the samurai of the Ashikaga family, Isshiki Fujinaga, under the persuasion of Akechi Mitsuhide, decided to return to Oda, so even if he left, he could clearly know the full content of the Oda family.

"You all see, this is the unreasonable request of the traitor Oda Nobunaga." As soon as Akechi Mitsuhide left, after making sure that there was no Oda Army outside the assessment room, Ashikaga Yoshiaki got down to business.

The retainers present took the codex and saw the contents of it, but they were not shocked, after all, the Takayama clan dared to lead the army to take the city, and even if it was announced that the Ashikaga family was destroyed, they would not be surprised. After all the retainers saw it, Ashikaga Yoshiaki said indignantly: "This matter is related to the survival of the family, so it must not be compromised, Oda Nobunaga really thinks that the family only has this strength, well, since he dares to rebel, then let him see the real strength of the family." ”

Speaking of this, I only heard Ashikaga Yoshiaki instruct again: "Wada Yumasa, you immediately send people to the temples to ask them to send troops to come to the rescue." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it."

Wada Yumasa just wanted to leave, but he heard Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly say: "The lord must not move lightly. ”

"Fart, if you don't move now, you're just waiting to perish."

"The lord is angry, his subordinates don't mean this, please think about it calmly, even if the monks and soldiers of the temples pour out, the army is only a few thousand, although it should be enough to wipe out the Oda army in the leadership with these military momentum, but once the Oda army counterattacks, then only a few thousand monks and soldiers can't resist the attack of the Oda family, if it really comes to this time, then the family will really be doomed. Please also think twice, think twice, my lord. ”…,

Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally calmed down after hearing this, and asked urgently, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”

"The lord can secretly send people to the various forces and order them to send troops to attack Oda, and the lord can take advantage of the fact that the Oda family can't take care of each other, and then send an army to seize the mountain castle, which is the perfect strategy. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki could speak, he only heard Wada Yumasa ask: "Hosokawa-sama, what if the forces are not strong. ”

"No army?" Hosokawa Fujitaka thought for a while, and then said confidently: "Don't be afraid if you don't go out of the army, as long as you spread rumors and confuse Oda Nobunaga, it is expected that he will not dare to use all his strength to deal with his own family." But this time is only for the hard work. ”

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, although the Ashikaga family was very calm on the surface, but after the end of the day's evaluation meeting, several ashigaru took the opportunity of being dismissed, went out of the city, and ran in all directions, but they didn't know what to do, and there were already ninjas secretly monitoring their every move.

In the following month, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's life was really difficult, and Akechi Mitsuhide meticulously carried out the orders of his subordinates, and wanted to see the shogun? No problem, you need to report to Takayama-sama first, get Takayama-sama's approval, and take the warrant to meet the general, and when you meet, you must have Akechi Mitsuhide or Beehouse Yoritaka present, otherwise you don't want to meet at all.

And the general's family should be in charge of government affairs, and it is also necessary to let Akechi Mitsuhide look at it first, so it can be said that after Ashikaga Yoshiaki knows the way, the result will be. At the beginning, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could swallow his anger for the sake of the overall situation, but within a few days, his true temperament was completely exposed, and he scolded wildly every day since the morning, and the scolding was shocking, even the Oda army in the city could hear it clearly.

However, Akechi Mitsuhide turned a deaf ear to this, and from the joyful expression on his face, it was clear that he seemed to want so. The more you scold, the more you can't hold your breath, the more you can't hold your breath, the more you want to do it faster, and the faster you get credit. (To be continued.)
