86. Suspicious Signs (I)
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's mood is very bad, and it can even be said that it is extremely bad. According to the past practice, even if he was unhappy in his heart, as long as he drank and then found a concubine or maid to vent, he would have nothing to do when he got up the next morning. But this time it was different, such a depressed feeling had been bothering him for a long time. To this day, he didn't understand how his dignified and good Zuojing doctor Yoshitsugu ended up in today's field?
When he first succeeded to the throne, the Miyoshi family was not what it was in front of them, and at that time they really held the hegemony of. What about the sword hero Ashikaga Shogun Yoshiteru, it didn't become history overnight!
But since the guy named Ashikaga Yoshiaki or some kind of Yoshiaki ran away, to be exact, since that hillbilly Oda Nobunaga entered Beijing, everything has changed! I thought that how could the Rokkaku Yoshixian, who had been fighting with the Miyoshi family for many years, be able to stop him for some time, but I didn't want to end up with tens of thousands of troops in less than half a month, such a waste actually dominated Omi for so many years, God is really blind!
Matsunaga Shu rebelled, Araki Murashige also rebelled, and many people who had been "wagging their tails" at the Miyoshi family turned to Oda's side, and the situation in became out of control. The Miyoshi family retreated to such a remote place as Shikoku, and there was a Nagazong who came out of nowhere and the head of my department made trouble on the side all day long, and several counterattacks on not only did not result in results, but caused a loss of troops. The Miyoshi family, whose strength has been greatly damaged, can no longer maintain the prestige of the past, and now anyone can come to him and step on his head, but this can't and can't blame him! He didn't make any mistakes all the time!
"Hey!" He sighed as he looked at the dark roof, and everything around him made him breathless. I simply sat up and put on a dress, and by this time the window paper around me had been reflected in white. He looked down at his favorite concubine Jingji sleeping beside him, and she was still immersed in sleep in the haze.
Yoshitsugu Miyoshi stood up gently, tightened the robe he was wearing and tied it up, came to the window and opened it, and immediately a ray of sunlight shone in.
It was a window facing east, facing the sun that had just risen. The morning sun doesn't have much temperature, but it has a hint of coolness. Fortunately, it was already the height of summer, so even if there was a cool air, it was not biting.
Yoshitsugu Miyoshi tightened his clothes a little and sat on the windowsill looking into the distance. A little further south, there was a mountain range, and he knew that an army of tens of thousands of men was waiting there, waiting for a final battle with him. Once upon a time, less than a month ago, he led a large army to attack others, but now he has people blocking the door, which is a little too fast!
"Zhuxing Qing Clan, you despicable and shameless nouveau riche!" As soon as he thought of this name, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was a nameless fire, and he almost bit a mouthful of steel teeth.
The Zhuxing Qing clan is just a small merchant who doesn't know where he came from, and even within the Oda family, there are probably few who can tell what kind of origin he is. But who are you! The son of the famous general "Ghost Ten Rivers", the orthodox heir of the Miyoshi family, was defeated repeatedly in the hands of this small businessman, only to be driven to the sky and no way to enter the earth, what is all this for!
"Your Highness......" Two gentle jade arms wrapped around his neck from behind, and then he felt a warmth in his back. It's still early, why don't you take a little rest? A soft voice with wisps of fragrance blew into his ears.
"Everyone is ready to start fighting, how can I still be idle!" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu pointed his hand downward, and sure enough, there were already large groups of soldiers busy in the city and in the city.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu used to take it very easy to lead troops to fight, thinking that as long as he waved the military fan in his hand, everything would be fine. But since that humiliating capture ten years ago, he has really carried out a painstaking study, but unfortunately there are still not many opportunities for him to practice, but he has trained the guards of more than 100 people around him into an elite army.
"Your Highness need not worry! As long as we are all united, the repulsion of the Oda army is just around the corner! The voice said softly.
"Just around the corner? That's so easy for you to say! Miyoshi Yoshiji turned around and hugged his favorite concubine Jingji in his arms. Strange to say, the official wives and concubines around him are no less than double digits, but only this woman in his arms can bring him peace of mind. "If you talk about origin, the Zhuxing Qing clan is really nothing; But when it comes to ability, it is absolutely not to be underestimated! Although he can't be said to be invincible in the past 20 years, the people who can make him die are only a few people like Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. Do you really think I can win in front of him? ”
"The Zhuxing Qing clan is just a mortal, Your Highness, you can't worry too much!" Jing Ji's tone is very big, although she is a woman, she has a very good posture of treating the heroes of the world as nothing. "Even when Takeda Shingen fought the first battle, I'm afraid no one was very sure about him. Although Your Highness has been the governor of the Three Good Families for a long time, how many government decrees and military orders have been issued according to your will? In the past, there was the dictatorship and chaos of the 'three people', and then there was the reckless and arbitrary behavior of the Shinohara, and the wisdom and wisdom of His Highness could not be brought into play, which caused the situation of the Miyoshi family today. Your Highness, now that you have finally mastered the overall situation, victory is to be expected! ”
"Oh, really? You really see it that way! Miyoshi Yoshitsugu seemed to regain his confidence, and tightened the delicate body in his arms again.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this, the Zhuxing Qing Clan really has nothing to fear!" Kagahime stared closely at Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, and there was a flame burning in her eyes that was usually reserved for men. "The Zhuxing Qing clan has won some battles over the years, and that's just luck. In fact, the entire Oda family has been lucky all these years, and how much of it is based on ironclad strength? The Zhuxing Qing clan has taken advantage of the light of this 'big tree' to make a profit in some places, and when it comes to real materials, how can it compare to Your Highness! ”
"But the current situation makes it a desperate scene for anyone!" I had already mustered up some courage, but I couldn't help but be a little discouraged when I saw the soldiers in the city all soldiers. "Now most of the Hao clans of Apo and Zanqi have fled to the side of the stars, and my remaining troops are less than 10,000. The time, the place, and the people have all been lost, what strength do I have to fight the stars? ”
"What do your Highnesses do with those wall grasses?" Kagami Ji's snow-white and pink little hand stroked Miyoshi Yoshiji's chest, sliding up and down as if to calm the depression in his heart. "When Imagawa Yoshimoto raised troops to go to Luo, I don't know how many castle lords and wealthy families on the Tokaido competed to serve. Oda Nobunaga's protest is seen as the most stupid act, and how many people think of the storm of the night in Tsukasasa? When the Imagawa family hulalaru mansion collapsed, they all wagged their tails and hurriedly licked Oda Nobunaga's shoes. The Oda family developed from a small wealthy family of three or four thousand people to a tyrant who controlled Kyoto, but it was only a situation of five or six years in a hurry. Although His Highness has encountered some temporary difficulties today, do you know that he will not return to the court in Kyoto? What is it that these grass-like people turn away from His Highness today, and in the future, even important ministers like Seguan may also become Qingke under His Highness! ”
"You're very confident!" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's mood seems to be much better, and the difficulties in front of him are not so insurmountable. He's a man anyway, so he can't let a woman look down on him! "According to you, the tens of thousands of troops of the stars are not enough to fear, but where are our chances of victory?" He asked half-truthfully, and in his heart this favorite concubine seemed to be more knowledgeable than many retainers.
"It's very difficult to win, of course, but it's not completely impossible for us to win!" Kagamihime curled her face slightly, as if she was in the court rather than on a man's lap. "Although the Oda family seems to be proud of the scenery now, there are Takeda, Uesugi, Mori, Hojo, and Honganji Temple watching outside, and Matsunaga and Araki are often rebellious inside, and the important ministers such as Honshi and Hashiba are getting bigger and bigger, so it can be said that the undercurrent is turbulent and windy. If there is nothing to do, it is a situation that is a thousand miles away! ”
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu looked at his favorite concubine with some surprise, as if he couldn't believe that she said it all for a while.
"Let's talk about the Zhuxing Qing Clan, does Your Highness think that his life is better now?" A light smile hung on the corner of Kagaji's mouth, as if she was contemptuous of the opponent in the distance and like she was mocking the man in front of her. "Not bad! The Zhuxing Qing clan is indeed the number one martial arts leader of the Oda family, but because of this, he has to be even more cautious. It is necessary to dispel the suspicion of the sovereign and beware of the slander of colleagues, so to speak, every step is dancing on the tip of a knife. For the war in Shikoku, he did not dare to get too involved in arousing Oda Nobunaga's greater suspicions, but he did want to leave his troops and horses to guard the territory of and Western Province. Therefore, Your Highness, don't look at him as menacing now, but as long as it drags on for a year and a half, he will naturally retreat! ”
"Ahhma! If you were born a man, you would be ashamed of us! After staring at it for a long time, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sighed, and there was really a trace of indescribable shame in his expression. Now the old guys who are in charge of housekeeping are all gone, but this three-good family has also been defeated by them. Only your brother, Tokawa, and Hosokawa are still willing to follow me, and even those other families avoid me like a plague god. Where are the pillars of the world! ”
"It's naturally a good thing for His Highness to be thirsty for talent, but you don't have to be arrogant!" Kagamihime seems to have something to say to him.
"Your Highness, His Highness Shihe and Lord Jinshan are already waiting for you in the hall!" The handmaiden had already come to the door to report.
"Got it, let them wait a little longer!" Yoshitsugu Miyoshi stood up and pointed to the coat that was on the suitcase.
"Your Highness, take care!" Jing Ji took the clothes and put them on for him, and instructed: "Your Highness has finally taken back power, you must be careful about what others covet!" ”
"Got it!" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu took the rib difference on his belt, opened the door and walked out.
