Minami Omi, Rokkaku Governor's Residence Castle Kannonji Castle, Castle Tower.

Rokkaku Yoshiji was at a loss for a rare look at the tough retainers in front of him.

"Goto-sama, this mobilization after spring plowing is a strategy that has been set at home, and you are determined to change it now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

The majestic old woman in front of her is Goto Kento, an important minister of the Rokkaku family.

I saw her shake her head and said resolutely.

"I also ask Your Highness to restart the deliberation and discuss the matter of the shallow wells of the Northern Expedition.

My family has been fighting all year round since the Lord Lai, and the territories of each family have long been exhausted, and there are many people in the country who are in turmoil.

The Asai family has already reacted, and the news must have leaked, and the opportunity for my family and the Mino Isshiki family to join forces to raid has been missed.

If it is forced, it will be another meaningless attrition.

The Asai family is backed by the Asakura family, but behind my family is the Spo family, and the shogunate will definitely stand on the side of the Asai family to suppress my family.

Knowingly committing a crime, the wise man does not take it, and hopes that the lord will think twice. ”

Goto Ken bowed his head to the ground, and Rokkaku Yoshiji was silent.

After a while, she said.

"Goto-sama, please go back first, and I'll think about it later."

Goto Kento's lowered eyes flashed a hint of dissatisfaction, but he still reluctantly saluted and retreated.

As soon as she left, a person flashed behind the conference hall with a gloomy face, it was the mother of Yoshiji, Rokkaku Yoshixian.

She snorted coldly and said.

"Goto Kentoyo is becoming more and more arrogant."

Rokkaku Yoshiji replied.

"Mother, what Goto-sama said is not unreasonable."

Hexagonal Yixian's pupils shrank, but he didn't expect his daughter to refute him.

Because of the defeat of Norada in the battle, she was forced to abdicate as an explanation, who knew that Goto Kentoyo was aggressive and had no intention of stopping at all.

And his own grip on controlling the hexagonal family, his daughter Rokkaku Yoshiji seems to be becoming more and more disobedient.

She faintly regretted it, she knew that today, she shouldn't have backed down at that time, the strength of the hexagonal lord was still there, and the retainers didn't dare to go too far.

Now step by step, step by step, the retainers of the Goto family are becoming more and more tough because of her concessions.

Within the Hexagonal Family, Yoshiji also had his own political demands after sitting in the position of the family governor, but instead dispersed the power of the main family.

As the other goes by, her life becomes more and more difficult.

Rokkaku Yixian shook his head, shook off the decadent meaning in his mind, and explained to his daughter.

"The strategy of the Northern Expedition to the Asai family cannot be shaken, this is a war planned by you and me.

You have not been able to take charge of the battle since you succeeded to the governor, and the retainers are suspicious.

If this matter is stopped, you will be regarded as a weak and bullying lord whose prestige has been severely damaged, so you must not change it.

Goto Kentoyo wanted to weaken the authority of the main family and win over the hesitant retainers to support her in charge of the housekeeping. ”

Rokkaku nodded.

Although she was dissatisfied with her mother's refusal to relinquish power after her abdication, the two had the same interests in dealing with the Goto family.

Rokkaku Yoshi-hyun sneered and continued.

"Goto Kentoyo is in the Rokkaku family, such as Miyoshi Chokei in the Hosokawa family, and Yuzo is religious in the Hatakeyama family.

The defeat of the high gate, which family did not start from the loss of authority and the seizure of power by the retainers.

Once Goto Kentoyo gets the support of the retainers and takes charge of all affairs inside and outside the family, the power of the head of the family will inevitably weaken.

When my family is insignificant, it should be her Goto family who will become the head of Minami Omi and become the master of a country. ”

The trouble faced by the Rokkaku family is a problem that all daimyo will encounter.

The main family was weakened because of the defeat, and the attitude of the retainers became more and more tough, once a situation was formed in which the main family was weak and the ministers were strong, the family business would have to be handed over sooner or later.

If the daimyo is guarded, he is still under the protection of the shogunate, and the retainers are afraid of the shogunate's reaction, and they will be restrained in doing things, such as Hatakeyama Takamasa.

But the Rokkaku family has always been dissatisfied with the shogunate and independent. There was a change of civil strife in the family, and the general clapped his hands and said that it was too late, where would he support her family.

Besides, the prestige of the shogunate has fallen now, and how much of the guardian system is left to bluff people?

The Ashikaga family itself is difficult to protect, and in the troubled times, which family is not panicked, afraid of their own demise, and has no shame to see their ancestors.

Rokkaku Yoshiji pondered for a while and asked.

"But my family's plan has been known by the Asai family, and with precautions, I am afraid that the results of the battle will not be satisfactory to the retainers.

If things are not done, the dissatisfied retainers will still move closer to Goto Kentoyo, and the situation of the main family will still not improve. ”

But Hekkaku Yoshi-hyun didn't think so and said.

"It's not the same time it used to be.

When I was in power, my family had already occupied the nine prefectures of Omi, and the shogunate was also an ally, so I had the heart to destroy the Asai family and unify Omi.

Who knows when you meet the humble and faithful, alas. ”

Hexagonal Yixian's heart hurt, and Si Yiyin was about to become her magic barrier.

Every few days, I would dream back to the wild field, and the wound he cut was faintly painful, and I was drenched in cold sweat. In addition to gritting his teeth, he was even more afraid.

She shook her head, gathered her thoughts, and continued.

"This time, my family is not trying to destroy the Asai family, but just the three counties of North Omi that are plotting to be taken away by the Asai family.

The Mino Isshiki family sent troops, and the army had to go through Sakata County when entering Omi Province, and the rest of the mountain roads were rugged, which was not enough to support logistics and difficult to supply the large army.

Sakata County is one of the three old counties of the Asai family, and there is no room for mistakes, and Asai Nagamasa must deal with it with all his might.

And until the Asai family is destroyed, the Asakura family will never send troops to help.

Her family is counting on the constant trade routes of the North Omi, and as long as the Asai family is still there, her family will not consume their own strength to complete Asai Nagamasa.

The Asai family is weaker, so maybe it's good for the two alliances.

Not to mention the Spo family, they will not be sincere to the Asai family.

You have to remember that Omi is the henchman of the world, and if you get it, you can win the world.

Neither the Asakura family nor the Spo family will allow the Asai family to sit on the throne, and what they hope is that the two of us will be in constant war, and neither will be able to destroy the other. ”

Rokkaku Yoshiji pondered his thoughts and said.

"What do you mean, let the Mino Isshiki family gnaw the hard bones of Kita-Omi.

My family's Northern Expedition is plotting to take away the land of the three counties that was taken away by the Asai family? ”

Hexagonal Yoshixian also denied it.

"Impossible.

If my family eats the three counties, Omi will restore the imbalance between my family's nine counties and the three counties of the Asai family, and the battle of Norada will be in vain.

The Asakura family may not react, and the Spo family will definitely intervene.

The shogunate and the Spo family will never let my family rise again.

Therefore, the only thing my family can plot is Aichi-gun, so as not to cause a strong reaction from the Spo family.

After all, Inugami County has the territory of the Spo family, and once you enter Inugami County, it will inevitably get out of control, so you must try your best to avoid territorial disputes with the Spo family.

If you have a county, you will first accept the buyer's courtiers, suppress Goto Xianfeng, and then slowly figure it out. ”

Yoshiharu Rokkaku nodded, agreeing with his mother's strategy.

Rokkaku Yoshi-hyun smiled, thinking he was proud, but he didn't know that his daughter's heart was already cold.

Rokkaku Yoshiji just came to the throne and vowed to go north to the Asai family and recapture the three counties for the family.

If things are done hastily, Goto Xianfeng will be suppressed, and her prestige will be damaged, and she will not feel good.

Only Rokkaku Yoshixian benefited from this matter, and she led the process of the Northern Expedition, and the distribution of a county was naturally in her hands.

She is proud alone, but it is Rokkaku Yoshiharu and Goto Kentoyo who are damaged, which is really easy to calculate.

Rokkaku Yoshiji saw through his mother's intentions, but he didn't have the strength to turn his face, so he could only pretend not to know.

Under the calm, there is already a different heart.
