Chapter 404: If there is no profit, there will be no war

"Kaga has always had an abnormality, and the Chaosheng Temple ordered the Guangde Temple to lead the army to rescue the Echichu Sect, and the banner was to punish the most brutal and unscrupulous Kira in the world for the gods and Buddhas...... Righteous time! This time, the number of Kaga's Ichikon army was no less than 50,000, and his troops, with the chief of the god as the vanguard, had already taken out the battle in Kaga's Kanazawa Imperial Workshop...... Fifty thousand! It's such a big deal, it's really a respite at all! Do you want to punish Yu? It's so much fun! ”

Kira Yoshitoki's expression was very relaxed, as if he was still in the mood to ridicule Kaga Ichijomune's saliva, but Uesugi Masatora, Hosokawa Fujitaka and others, who were familiar with his character, knew very well that the flames of anger were constantly bursting in his heart, and he would only show this expression when he was extremely angry, and they were very worried that Kira Yoshitoki, who was annoyed and angry, would take an outrageous revenge.

Hattori Masaaki frowned and thought for a while, then said: "This reminds His Majesty of a rumor he received a few months ago, it is reported that the Chaokatsuji Temple Miteru once sent an envoy to contact Ishiyama Honganji, and there is a rumor circulating in Beijing about my Ashikaga family, it seems that Honganji Temple is interested in inviting a decree from Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, the purpose is to refer to the Lord as the enemy of the Buddha, and he called on the Buddhas of the world to resist against my Ashikaga family, and then this message suddenly disappeared without a trace, because no more accurate evidence was found and was abandoned by us. ”

Fortunately, Kira Yoshishi was not so impulsive, and forced to press the anger in his chest and said coldly: "I see, Honganji Xianru wanted to move Yu but was rejected by Enryakuji Temple in Hiei Mountain, it was really a ruthless scheming and vicious scheme, but Yu was treated like this by never showing hostility to Honganji, this sect is really full of vicious demons!" Thanks to the monks of Enryakuji Temple, Yu's influence in Jinai is not comparable to that of the Yizong that everyone shouts and beats! ”

"That has always been a group of despicable people. I'm afraid we won't have a name to use this banner to attack, right? Someone who wants to be an outsider wants to punish me and other famous martial artists. What a ridiculous thing in the world! ”

"If he is not clean, he thinks that everyone in the world is like him and dirty. This group of monks is hopeless! ”

A group of genealogy retainers were arguing, Kira Yoshishi raised a folding fan to beat the desk, coldly glanced at the dark samurai in the large wide room, and said lightly: "Since Echigo went downward, Yu has always been close and far away from this Hokuriku sect, and Yu and Honganji have no deep hatred, if it weren't for them coming to the door several times, how could Yu abandon Kanto." Why do you arrange heavy troops to guard Vietnam? It is necessary to know that if the general is not profitable, he will not fight, he will not fight angrily, he will fight hard but he will not be warlike, he will move if he is in line with his interests, and he will stop if he is not in line with his interests.

The remaining three times of restraint and forbearance are not because Yu can't bear to use his troops in vain, but because this Hokuriku has always been the focus of Yu's strategy, but there are always people who are self-righteous to challenge Yu, challenge me to the prestige of the Ashikaga family, and I must not give him the slightest chance to hope for this kind of jumping clown! He must be completely defeated and let them understand what a martial artist is. Monks should go back to the monastery to pray for the blessings of the world, instead of learning how to dance with swords and guns as samurai! ”

Kira's attitude is clear. That is to punish the clown who repeatedly provokes his authority, and he can't be allowed to jump out again and again to find trouble, but his statement does not mean that the strategic goal is to turn to the west to expand along the Hokuriku Province, whether it is him personally or Uesugi Masatora, Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Sanada Yukitaka and a kind of genealogy retainers are actively preparing for the south to Kanto, where is there the effort to entangle with the Ichikozong of the Hokuriku Kaga country.

Nakaga Province is not a country of order at all, but a gathering place for the demon monks who have always been in Hokuriku, their nature is similar to those cults that have been exterminated, instigating the poor people to go crazy for an illusory name, overthrowing the shogunate appointed Kaga's guardian daimyo, and establishing a chaotic area of Sanir, the Asakura family was dragged by this Kaga Ichikozong for sixty years and was unable to move, even if there was a generation of Ming Emperor Asakura Toshikage, the Northern Army God Dynasty Kurakura Zongdi could not tell the winner.

The best way to deal with it is to learn from the Great Demon King to carry out a massacre in Kaga, and together with Echigo Uesugi to attack the Kaga country, burn and loot, throw the believers of the Kaga Ichikozong into the cauldron and boil them to death, massacre more than 100,000 people in the entire Kaga and then scare the remaining remnants.

However, the unilateral slaughter is meaningless, Ishiyama Honganji stands on the south bank of the Yodo River, and Asakura Yoshikei is not the powerful and disgusted Uesugi Kenshin in history, and the Asakura family has been like a plagued chicken since the death of the Asakura family, wilting and hugging in the listless mess of the castle in Ichijo Valley, even Echizen has always been a fool.

Without the active cooperation of the Asakura family, there is no two-headed strategy, even if you win a war or two wars, invade Kaga Province, and it is meaningless to retreat for a while, and kill the backbone who has always been one to let them flee to the Echizen Ichisho Sect to take refuge, just like cutting grass without eradicating the roots, waiting for a year and a half will give Kaga a sudden spring breeze and a thousand trees and pear blossoms.

The rear of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple does not fall, and it is a bamboo basket to fight Kaga Yixiangzong, and they can follow the front foot to retreat and the back foot can follow to recover, you send 10,000 or 8,000 defenders to suppress the scene at all, and you can't prevent the small actions of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, if you send an army of 20,000 or 30,000 to guard in Kaga Town for three years and five years, then you really don't have to do anything, staring at Kaga's every move all day long!

Even if all the natives of Kaga Province were to be relocated with great difficulty, it would not be a work that could be completed in a year or two, and it would be a long-lasting war to fight with the Tsunekoji sect completely, and Ishiyama Honganji Temple might find an opportunity to come to the Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei to get a crusade against the enemies of the Buddha, and when the time comes, they will go to the Ashikaga family to make a fuss about eating mutton.

In the next few days, the size of the Kasuga Mountain Castle will continue, and the retainers of the spectrum will shift the topic from the south to Kanto to discuss the plan to rescue Yuezhong, and one sunny afternoon, a small meeting was held at home in the assessment room of the Kasuga Mountain Castle, and a group of important ministers of the spectrum sat together to discuss how to send troops to aid Yuezhong.

After many days of tormented meetings, the faces of many samurai showed tiredness, Hosokawa Fujitaka rubbed his temples to relieve fatigue, and asked hesitantly: "The strategy set by the Lord is to move troops south to Kanto this year, but I don't know if this has always delayed this year's strategic plan, and if the plan to enter Kanto is delayed, then when will it be implemented?" ”

The light in Uesugi Masato's eyes flashed, and he slowly closed his eyes and pinched the rosary and said softly: "It depends on the speed of Kaga's formation, if calculated according to the normal recruitment rate, Kaga will most likely have to wait for two months to enter Vietnam, and there is still plenty of time to prepare!" In addition, the war in Vietnam and China is only a local war, and it is enough to send 8,000 elite troops to help, and it is only necessary to wait for Kaga to attack Vietnam and Central and then defeat the invading enemy in one go, which should not affect this year's military deployment. ”

Nanoka shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "The Lord's intention should be to hurt Kaga Ichishomune, so that they realize that they are not our opponents, and then it is convenient to negotiate peace without a fight, it is enough to have Echichu as the flank of the Western Front to defend Echigo, and it will be bad to rashly get involved in Kaga's quagmire, just as the Lord does not want to involve Kai's quagmire, he would rather use 19,000 troops to nail the Takeda clan and not let the Takeda Daizenden have any room to move, rather than easily get involved in the quagmire of Kai." ”

Honda was thinking for a while and answered: "Actually, it is not difficult to take Minami Shinano's Suwa County and Ina County, but we are worried that the persecution is too urgent, and the combined forces of Hojo and Imagawa are recruited, and the loss of the two Shinano counties means that the Takeda clan has been defeated on all fronts of Shinano's warp strategy, and if Takeda Shingen is ruthless and waits for us to the death, but puts Shinano's safety at risk, it is better to give him a little false hope, so that he has the heart to maintain Shinano's last flame of hope, and does not dare to force the Lord to take out a large army to take these two counties." ”

"This is the same as the release of 6,000 captives, giving Takeda Daizen a hope to persevere, false hope with hidden hopes, so that he can find a way to continue to expand and maintain the family business, instead of staring at me like a wounded lone wolf and biting at the Ashikaga family, the Lord's goal is always to go south to Kanto, not to settle personal grievances with Takeda Daizenden.

Didn't the Lord have said that military affairs are the most realistic things in the world, but there is no room for warmth and affection, let alone naΓ―ve delusions, but the most important thing above the battle array is the word interest, and the war that does more harm than good cannot be fought, and the enclave that cannot be maintained cannot be seized, and the joint war that does not have no interests is not fought. ”

The Ashikaga family is on the rise of the family business, a series of victories have brought countless glory, but it also puts the family governor and the family retainers of the spectrum under tremendous pressure, and if they do not fight one or two key battles, they will lose their troops and return to the embarrassment before liberation overnight, which is not covered by the shogunate in Kyoto, or the influence of the country in his hometown Mikawa for three hundred years, his personal prestige is piled up by military merits, resulting in the lack of accumulation of the Ashikaga family in the upper Ashikaga family.

Because of this, the strategy of Kira Yoshitoshi is extremely cautious, and the selection of generals is also to be as calm and solid as possible, just like Takigawa Tokiyoshi and other young generals who jumped out of the army are bound to the Kasuga Mountain City early garrison is the same reason, maintaining a huge family is like running your own life, and it is not possible to hide the edge without grinding the edges and corners.

Although Fengrui Zhengsheng is good, but after all, there is a rigid and easy to break the problem, the thing is too sharp and one day hurts himself after all, and for example, as the general of Ma Hui Yamaoka Zenjiro for a long time, he was bound by Ji Liang Yoshitoki for ten years, a stunned blue head is grinding into a mature and stable Ma Hui general, if he was not surveyed to find out the effect, Ji Liang Yoshishi did not dare to let him stay by his side to be this Ma Hui general.
