Just a few days after the comfortable days and something bothered him, the turmoil in Kinai for nearly half a year finally settled in the autumn dust, Miyoshi Changqing after all or launched a long-prepared trip to Shangluo, Miyoshi's action is very large, not long after the spring sowing, the military momentum of the Miyoshi family continued to surge to Kinai, by the beginning of May from the Awa country, Sanki country, Settsu country, Izumi country, Hanoi country, Tamba country and Higashi Harima country, gathered more than 60,000 prosperous troops, and suddenly the wind and rain in Kinai was stirred up to make people worried.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa hurriedly ordered the Kinai samurai to enter Luo to defend the shogunate, but the reaction of the people of Kinai was very ambiguous, Asai Hisamasa was forcibly seized power by his sister-in-law Asai Kenmasa and abdicated into seclusion, Asakura Yoshikei was busy taking care of Kaga's war, and Takeda Yoshimasa was troubled by the civil strife set off by the Wakasa double wall.

Hatakeyama Takamasa took the opportunity to escape from Sakai Town with Yasumi Munebo, and ran to Kii to find the support of his retainer Tange Morichi, preparing to bring back the old ministers of Kawachi Province, Kii Province, and Yamato Province, waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of the Miyoshi family's change to recapture Takaya Castle and take the opportunity to recover, and Kinai fell into a new round of turmoil again.

Looking at the entire Kinai, Nakajo Tokihide and Rokkaku Yoshiken are the only two forces in Kinai that can contribute to the shogunate, but the problem is that the combined military strength of the two families is more than 30,000, and these two families also had a big conflict in the battle of Shoushan last year, both sides are unwilling to go out to defend Kyoto, and there is also an anti-Rokkaku clan and anti-Kira clan in Omi There is a shallow Kenmasa who is both anti-Rokkaku and anti-Kira clan, in case he sneaks up from behind, it will be bad, so defending the house is indispensable for the army.

Miyoshi Nagakei's patience was unusually strong, and he sent an envoy to Kyoto to contact the shogunate with the news, saying that the head of the Hosokawa clan had not been in the shogunate for several years. This time, I want to support the Hosokawa clan and be a serious leader. This is a very valid reason, and there is no reason to refute it. It is unreasonable that the steward has been in office for ten years and cannot go to Kyoto to perform his duties, but the truth is that the shogunate, especially Ashikaga Yoshiteru, does not need this obstructive steward.

Ashikaga Yoshiki reprimanded Miyoshi Changqing for plotting misdeeds, Shangluo only needed to ride into Luo from three to five hundred people, Miyoshi Changqing summoned 60,000 prosperous troops with clear bad intentions, and the Miyoshi family was indifferent to the accusations made by His Royal Highness the Gongfang, and what they did themselves was not a good thing for Wei Guangzheng, it was nothing more than a name for leading the army to seize power, how could they sincerely obey the orders of the shogunate. Even if the shogunate really had the heart to invite Miyoshi Iekei to lead three or five hundred horsemen into Jingluo to govern, I'm afraid that Miyoshi Changqing would not dare to respond to this stubble.

After experiencing the blow of Kira Yoshi, Miyoshi Chokei's patience was unexpectedly good, and he waited until late May to be completely sure that there would be no accidents in Kinai before moving to Katoraku, Miyoshi Chokei took his puppet Hosokawa clan and 20,000 troops to cross the Settsu country to attack Katsuryuji Castle, and the Odate Takanbu in Katsuryuji Castle only had 2,000 troops, and even if Katryuji Castle repeatedly strengthened its defenses over the years, it would be difficult to resist the siege of Miyoshi's army.

Nakajo Tokihide led 10,000 troops to Fushimi Mountain to set up formation, and Rokkaku Yoshiken led 20,000 troops to camp on the other side of the Uji River. According to normal rules, it is conservatively estimated that there should be 25,000 troops capable of dispatching out of these 40,000 troops. Be bold, and dispatch 30,000 shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It is always a danger for the 40,000 troops to move still, forcing Nakajo Tokihide not to make much of a move, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru in Kyoto can't wait to order the two to drive away Miyoshi Nagakei's 20,000 besieging troops as soon as possible, and Rokkaku Yoshiken's attempts to cross the river in the past have been forced back by Miyoshi Nagakei's military deterrence, and he has never dared to move for fear that Miyoshi will have a hand behind his back.

I could only watch the siege of Miyoshi Chokei storm the city, and in the end, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't sit still and ordered Rokkaku Yoshiken, Nakajo Tokihide and the shogunate to jointly rescue Katsuryuji Castle with the public's 8,000 troops, Nakajo Tokihide did not approve of such a risky action and dragged it behind and was not active, and Rokkaku Yoshiken was worried that he would not be able to get any credit for falling behind a few more times and responded positively, so he hurriedly led 20,000 troops to respond to Ashikaga Yoshiteru's order.

As a result, the shogunate army nominally had 38,000 troops from the two directions of Yodogawa and Katsuracheon, and launched an attack on the Miyoshi army outside the castle of Saryusi.

These 8,000 troops came from all over the country, the ronin who had never met the talents, and the local people of Yamashiro Province, after several years of careful training, they looked like some elite divisions, but the generals who came from the public were really unqualified, and the order of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who was not familiar with military strategy, destroyed their last hope of victory.

The shogunate's 8,000 public troops were only halfway through the attack, several public leaders were taken on the spot, more than 4,000 dead prisoners of death were defeated without any suspense, and the Rokkaku Yoshiken's river-crossing army also encountered a similar sneak attack on the river, and the Awaji Navy took the opportunity to kill in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the Rokkaku Army.

Fortunately, Rokkaku Yoshiken has always been wary of this kind of trick and did not dare to send too many river-crossing troops at one time, and hired dozens of Kira Sailors to rush away the Awaji Navy, and more than 2,000 troops who crossed the river on their own side desperately fled on the boat to escape, and before they could meet the main force of the Miyoshi Army, they ate a stuffy stick, and Rokkaku Yoshixian's heart was half cold.

Looking back and finding that Nakajo Shixiu still hadn't left the Fushimi Mountain camp, Rokkaku Yoshiken knew that he was deceived by the illusion of victory again, and thought that he was fighting as if he was really going to win, but in fact, the opponent he cared about the most, the Kira Army, didn't move at all, and it was clear that he was not optimistic about the plan to cross the river and rescue.

Rokkaku Yoshiken, who learned his lesson, immediately sent a messenger to contact Nakajo Tokihide to ask him what his plans were, and Nakajo Tokihide did not hide it from this quasi-ally, and bluntly said that the order he received was to try his best to keep Kyoto from losing, and secondly, to keep his own army from losing too much in the war in Kinai, so as not to affect the family business if the foundation was lost, and the Miyoshi family's ambitions for Kyoto were well known, since he came over not just for a Katryuji castle, Rather than wasting time in a branch city that is bound to be lost, it is better to prepare for the next fierce battle in Kyoto.

Rokkaku Yoshiken thought about it carefully, Nakajo Tokihide was just a genealogy general of the Kira family, and neither military strategy nor status could be compared with when Kira Yoshitoki was there, and such a fierce action in the last battle to defend the mountain was nothing more than because of his Rokkaku Yoshiken's covetousness of Sakamoto to the reverse scales, if it weren't for this reason, most of them would still shrink into the two counties to take care of the family and nursing home.

Looking back on the past few years, what he wanted day and night was to seize the two Omi counties, but as a result, his army not only did not seize the two counties, but lost the territory of Kuritai County, not only lost an important territory in vain, but also lost the prestige and family cohesion that he had worked so hard to accumulate, and forced the strategic direction of the Rokkaku family to turn to the northern Omi and southern Iga provinces.

The two armies quickly calmed down, their respective leaders stared at the unhurried siege of the Miyoshi army, this siege battle was fought from the end of April to the end of June, Odate Takanshin cage city for more than 60 days finally because of the food aid was lost, June 29 Katsuryuji Castle Honmaru was breached, with Odate Takan Takanbu and dozens of public samurai self-harm draw an end.

The 2,000 troops in the castle of Katryuji were all killed in the cage battle of more than two months, and the tragic battle situation was transmitted to Kyoto, which caused great shock, and the people of Kyoto have long forgotten the war situation that Kyoto had experienced, recalling the earth that was rampant in Kyoto more than 100 years ago, the Onin Rebellion 90 years ago when the Eastern and Western armies ignited the fire that ravaged most of Kyoto, the blood of the Battle of Funaokama more than 40 years ago, and the shocking reversal of the Battle of Katsura River seven years ago with fewer victories and more.

The war has never been far away from Kyoto, the peaceful and prosperous era is still far away, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who once boasted of reviving the shogunate, can only shrink in Kyoto and sigh, the former court court is full of laughter and laughter, the shogunate who prides itself on the protection of Kyoto is like ants on a hot pot in a hurry, and the people of Kyoto suddenly miss the young man who once saved Kyoto twice, and now the generation of famous generals Kira Yoshishi who is far away in Hokuriku and dominates the eastern country.

It was impossible for Kira Yoshitoshi to take care of the old and young men of Kyoto for a while, and the strong entry of the Miyoshi Army into Katsuryuji Castle was a wake-up call for Kyoto that had not been moved for many years, and the merchants and cultural people who fantasized about the peaceful and prosperous times could take a break, and the townspeople who were eager to pay light taxes had to work harder to cope with the upcoming expropriation and expropriation, and the war could never stop as long as the curtain was opened, which was the correct tune in troubled times.

When Miyoshi Changqing stepped into the castle tower of Katryuji Castle, looking at the endless Yodo River by the railing, and recalled the scene that once stopped here seven years ago, these seven years were like a reincarnation, under the guidance of fate, let him stand in this familiar place again, and he will not miss the opportunity to go to Luo, no one can stop him from moving forward, Miyoshi Changqing looked firmly in the direction of the Katsura River, where there is a city that symbolizes the authority of the world, Kyoto.

Far away in Sakamoto Town, the priests spent a disturbing afternoon, received the news of his father's suicide, Odate Harudada could only sadly lock himself in the house for a whole day and did not come out, Matsui Masayuki did not know that he could only comfort him to see a little, life and death are destined by the gods and Buddhas, and the old man's death is also a joy and mourning.

Odate Takanobu was the brother of Odate Harumitsu, an old samurai in his seventies, just like Hosokawa Mototsune, who died for the shogunate in the Battle of Katsurakawa, the news of his death for the shogunate's loyalty festival in Kyoto attracted many townspeople to pray spontaneously, and it happened that Miyoshi Nagakei also transported the remains of dozens of dead Hokko samurai and the previous war dead to Katsura River to the shogunate for reception.
