Hearing his mother-in-law's hesitation, Shigeharu Takenaka sneered and asked.

"Dare to ask my mother, if the lord of the country has succeeded in conquering the Asai family, how much benefit can I get from the Saimino samurai family?

The lord of the country once regarded our and other Western Mino samurai as his own family, and the benefits were not those guys in Higashiminon. ”

Mamoru Ando frowned and remained silent.

After Isshiki Yoshilong ascended to the throne, he balanced the forces of all parties and managed the state affairs with the system of six elders collegial.

Among the three people of Nishiminon, Mamoru Ando and the family are all among them, and the most stubborn character of Inaba Ryotsu is excluded.

There are only two people in Ximino who have the right to speak in national politics, so they are naturally suppressed by Dongminon, their interests are damaged, and they can't say anything.

Mamoru Ando and the others of the older generation of Nishimino samurai were dissatisfied, but Isshiki Yoshilong was strong, and they were helpless to bow their heads.

However, the younger generation of the Nishimino samurai is ambitious, and is unwilling to continue to serve Isshiki Yoshiryu, the lord of Mino who favors Higashiki Mino, and its representative figure is Shigeharu Takenaka.

Faced with Shigeharu Takenaka's questioning, Mamoru Ando looked at her and didn't speak.

Although this daughter-in-law is not physically strong, delicate and weak, she is arrogant in her bones, and she is famous for her resourcefulness.

Her words are not unreasonable.

The east and west are not in harmony, and the basic plate of the Isshiki Yoshilong is in the east of the dragon.

If Kita-Omi gains profits, it will inevitably share the profits to the Higashi Mino samurai, so as to increase its strength and make it easier to suppress the disobedient Nishimino samurai.

But what is infuriating is that the logistical pressure of the North Omi expedition is in the neighboring Nishiminon, especially the Bupo County where the pass is located.

In other words, the Bupo-gun samurai, including Shigeharu Takenaka, paid the most for the Kita-Omi expedition, but did not get any benefits, so of course they would be resentful.

She came to persuade Ando to keep it, which also represented the attitude of the unbroken county samurai. Yishi Yilong is this person, they are not willing to serve anymore.

In fact, most of the Saimino samurai are guarding the old ministers, and Saito Michizo, who usurped the throne in the next Keshang, is not a person all the way, and he doesn't look down on the Isshiki Yoshilong who killed his mother Saito Michizo.

It's just that a bloody heart can't change the balance of strength, the Ximino martial arts are weak, and the Yishi Yilong is strong, and a casual rebellion will not end well.

Mamoru Ando glanced at the indignant Shigeharu Takenaka and asked.

"What do you want to do?"

Shigeharu Takenaka was excited when he heard this, knowing that this mother-in-law had no loyalty to Isshiki Yoshiryu, and she didn't dare to give it a go because she was just concerned about her family business.

She said.

"When Isshiki Yoshilong leaves the country, Inabayama Castle will inevitably be empty.

As long as you take this city and lock the Isshiki Yilong abroad, great things can be done! ”

Mamoru Ando frowned.

"Inabayama Castle is a castle where the governor lives, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When she left, she ordered Hineno Hiroshi to act as the agent of Inabayama Castle and strictly guard the city, which was so easy to take over. ”

Mamoru Ando shook his head.

Hineno Hiroshi is also one of the six elders, and he is deeply trusted by Isshiki Yoshina, this person is not bad at all, and he is not so easy to deal with.

Shigeji Takenaka is confident and said.

"My sister Shigenaka is a hostage girl in Inabayama Castle, and I went to visit her in the name of her illness.

You followed with your army, lurking outside the city.

When I entered the castle, I took the gate with a surprise attack, and then you marched in with a large army, shouting that Hineno Hiroshi would rebel, and you were ordered to retake Inabayama Castle.

The defenders of the city must be frightened, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false and have no intention of blocking it, so we can quickly take the city and occupy the heart of Mino. ”

Mamoru Ando listened to her plan properly, and couldn't help but be tempted, but she still had doubts and asked.

"Do you want to communicate with the family Buquan first, so as not to have a misunderstanding."

The Nishimino samurai family is nominally one, but the three of them still have their own thoughts, and if they don't unify their internal opinions first, I'm afraid that there will be a repetition at that time.

The family Bu Quan is also one of the six elders, if she resents Ando Mamoru to deceive the city, and instead supports Isshiki Yoshiko, it will be a failure.

Shigeharu Takenaka hesitated and shook his head.

"The most important thing in the strategy of deceitful city is secrecy, and the slightest leak will fall short.

At this time, it is not appropriate to prosper, and after the matter is completed, it will be negotiated with the various families of Ximeinon, and the back road of Yishi Yilong will be cut off. ”

Mamoru Ando felt reasonable, so he nodded in agreement, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

If the clan Bu Quan and other Saimino samurai do not approve of this move and let Isshiki Yoshilong return from the country, wouldn't she Ando Mamoru be a villain in vain.

But Inabayama Castle is the first castle in Mino, and the castle town is rich and prosperous, and the temptation is too great, so she can't resist the temptation and decides to gamble.

It's all for the benefit of the Semino samurai, and they will definitely support it, right?

———

In Mino, domestic conspiracies emerged, and the Omi War had begun.

While Asai Nagamasa and Isshiki Yoshiryu confronted each other at the Mikage Temple River, Rokkaku Yoshiken sent troops north and invaded Aichi County.

Behind her, Koga County was harassed by Maeda's interests, and she ordered the Koga people to resist on the spot, using the mountains and hills as a cover to harass and block.

All parties dispatched, and Omi Province instantly became a pot of porridge, and for a while it was impossible to see who took advantage and who suffered.

Along the Omi River to the north, the Hokuriku Road line is also full of wars.

Echizen Asakura sent troops to Kaga, and the fight was bitter.

The chief of the Echichu Divine Protection sent troops across the Baiyan River and besieged the castles of Kadokawa again, and Yasuyin Shiina was so anxious that he had no time to take care of anything else.

Yoshiin and Uesugi Terutora took the opportunity to break through the Shiina territory, and more than 200 horsemen crossed the border with murderous spirit, and no one dared to stop them, and successfully entered Echigo Province.

———

In the spring mountain city, Naoe Jinggang frowned, and the situation was even worse than she thought.

It had been a few days since the spring ploughing ended, and the Yangbei people led by the Honjo family raised an army, intending to cross the Agano River and advance westward, and the target was the castle of Tsuo.

Nakajo Fujishi, who was close to the Nagao family in Yangbei, was angered by the crowd, and had to be coerced into sending troops for the survival of his family, and the rule of the Nagao family in Shimoe collapsed in an instant.

The Ueda Nagao family governor of Central Vietnam Nagao Masakei, and the guardian ministers led by Okuma Asahide also responded.

China and Vietnam are in the trend of sparks burning the prairies, and the Yangbei people are attacking the gateway to Tomei City, the gateway to Vietnam, and the situation is extremely critical.

And the army of Kakizaki Keijia and the troops of Biwa Island of Usami Dingman were united, but they encountered Hojo Castle and could not defend it behind closed doors.

That's embarrassing.

If you ignore Hojo Castle and continue to march, you will be leaving the logistics line to Hojo Takahiro to harass, and the army will be in danger of collapsing.

But if too much time is wasted under Hojo Castle, Honjo of Tochio Castle will definitely not be able to hold on first.

China and Vietnam were originally guarding the territory of the old ministers, the lonely city was trapped, and the army's morale was shaken.

If the Great Bear Chao Hidece rebelled against the city, I am afraid that Honjo would not be able to survive for a few days, and he would be sold by the local samurai who assisted in the defense.

Naoe Jinggang was undecided, and Kasuga Yamashiro still had some mobilized military momentum, but she didn't dare to use it, because the situation was strange in the direction of China.

She sent a messenger to make a sincere deal with Shiina Yasuin, willing to exchange the Nagao family's territory in Echichu for her military support and help the lord return.

But Shiina's reaction was quite strange, not only did he not reply, but he also closed the border.

This gave her an ominous premonition in her heart, and she did not dare to continue to send the army to the east, and she was wary of paying attention to the Shiina family in the west.

Could it be that Yasuyin Shiina wants to rebel against water? Wouldn't the lord be more dangerous?

She was flustered and didn't know what to do. At this time, news came from the castle town that the governor had returned.

Naoe Jinggang was overjoyed and came out to greet him, just in time to meet the cavalry of the Shangyi Huihu who entered the city.

Hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Your Highness, you have finally returned, and the road has been smooth?

Why don't you let someone report first, I'll go out of the city to pick you up. ”

Shangyi Huihu waved his hand and said.

"The cavalry is in a hurry, and the messenger is not fast enough for us, so he will not make these false courtesies."

Naoe Keixuna nodded, eager to report the chaos in the country, but Uesugi Terutora blocked her words and said first.

"I'll introduce you to a big man, and if you can come back this time, it's all up to him to help him with all his might, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be buried in the middle of the road."

Uesugi Huihu said with hatred, this time she planted a big heel, lost face, lost her soldiers, lost her allies, and even lost her sweetheart.

Naoe Jinggang's heart tightened, and he carefully looked at the team.

The governor of the house took thirty horsemen with him, and now he came back and saw that there were two hundred horsemen, and they were dusty, and there were some traces of battle.

Among them, there are only seven or eight Ji warriors who hang the small flag of the Long Tail family, and she suddenly became nervous, her daughter-in-law Naoe Kanxu went to Luo with the lord, is there anything wrong?

In the queue, she found Naoe Kanesu, who gestured to her slightly, and she calmed down and listened to the lord introduce the dignitaries from Kyoto.

"This is His Royal Highness Yoshigin, the governor of the Spo family, sent by the shogunate to read the imperial decree and recognize my position as the consul of the Kanto region."

Uesugi Terutora was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and continued.

"He came to Kanto with Edgeworth."

Hearing the front, Naoe Jinggang was still thinking respectfully, why is the governor of the Sibo family a man? How did the shogunate send a man to Kanto?

When Uesugi Terutora was reluctant to tell about Edgeworth, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly bowed deeply and blurted out.

"The Imperial Observatory is fine!"
