Chapter 80: Stalemate

Asai Nagamasa took Yoshiyin and his entourage, quickly whipped up, and rushed back to Kotani Castle, the home city of Asai Hisasa, in a few days.

Otani Castle is located on Mt. Otani, near the Yogawa River basin. The land is fertile and commerce is developed. In the castle town, a large number of retainers moved in, and wealth and popularity were gathered, and the Asai family replaced the Kyogoku family as the center of Kita-Omi.

On this day, Asai Nagamasa held a letter from Hosokawa Fujitaka and Spo Yoshiin raised the Ashikaga white flag and entered Kotani Castle.

With the support of powerful retainers Akao Kiyotsuna, Isono Membermasa and others, the governor of the Asai family, Hisasa, was forced to retire and passed on to the young lord Asai Nagamasa.

The first thing Asai Nagamasa did after taking over the family governor was to spread the word that Rokkaku Yoshiken had robbed and killed the envoys of the shogunate to mediate the war between the two countries, and spread it throughout Omi Province.

That's right, Yiyin has been transformed. The envoy sent from the shogunate to help the Rokkaku family became an envoy to mediate the war. It's really gratifying, it's gratifying.

For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, and the retainers of the Hexagon family questioned the matter of the master's family, and of course the Hexagonal Yixian would not admit it.

I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.

But the news from the west directly stunned Rokkaku Yoshixian.

General Ashikaga Yoshiteru mobilized the Ashikaga Ma crowd, pointed out that Rokkaku Yoshiken was the enemy of the samurai, and said that he would personally conquer Omi to ask for an explanation.

This series of changes stunned the Miyoshi family.

Miyoshi Changqing was undecided. She holds the huge power of seven or eight countries, strong or strong, but it is not so easy to coordinate and mobilize these forces.

On the one hand, the various factions in the family need to be coordinated and impartial, and on the other hand, the long distance of armaments also needs time to be raised.

Thinking about it, the good thing of taking advantage of the enemy's internal strife and attacking is not to catch up. I can only cheer on 666 from a distance, and I hope you dogs have all your brains.

The Miyoshi family liked to hear about it, but the shogunate and the Rokkaku retainers were reluctant to fight.

Fighting a war is to kill people, and it also consumes a lot of money, food, and materials. The samurai are not stupid, they know how to cut people all day long.

Someone will do what is out of their head, but who will do what is not beneficial?

The shogunate fought with the Miyoshi family because the Miyoshi family invaded several times and took Sakai Port not to mention, and now they still want to peep into the affairs of Izumi Province, Hanoi Province, and even the Yamashiro Shogun's family.

The shogunate shogunate either had territories in these places, or they ate with the shogun's money, so naturally they had to fight the Miyoshi family to the end.

But it's different on the Omi side. The land of Minami Omi, the Ashikaga general, fought the Rokkaku family for a hundred years and couldn't digest it, so he didn't want to think about it for a long time. The commercial interests of Lake Biwa were again given a large share of Kyoto through the Seda River.

What else is this fighting? Just to export gas?

The Rokkaku retainers also did not want to be enemies of the shogunate. In recent years, Rokkaku has been in harmony with the shogunate, and it is a rare good day for the Rokkaku family in a hundred years. engaged in business, beat shallow wells, and lived a good life.

Rokkaku and Asai are going to fight.

The hexagonal warriors have made great profits by fighting the shallow well family over the years, and now they occupy the land of the nine counties of Omijiang, and they want to eat more in Longwangshu.

The Asai samurai were beaten by Rokkaku to the point that only three counties remained, and they also wanted to try their courage and one day get back their land and shomachi.

Both sides are staring at the food in each other's bowls, so they naturally want to break the bloodstream.

But why did Hekkaku Yixian make the general unhappy, is he sick? The hexagonal retainer also muttered in his heart.

Therefore, both Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Rokkaku Yoshiken were under pressure.

The Hexagonal Retainers are known for their toughness in recent years. This strength is not only external, but also to the family governor, forcing the hexagonal Yixian to bow to the general.

Rokkaku Yoshiken followed a team of money, food, and armaments to Beijing one after another, giving the shogunate enough face.

The shogunate also pulled the angry Ashikaga Yoshiki and persuaded him repeatedly.

Big brother, forget it.

Hosokawa Mototsune specially wrote a letter to reproach his daughter for being troublesome. She's not a good old person like Mibuchi Haruhin, so foolish.

The Izumi Hosokawa family bore the brunt of the struggle against the Miyoshi family, and it was the time of tension. Hosokawa Fujitaka instead drew Ashikaga Yoshiteru's attention to Omi, and he was really not a woman.

In addition, he also wrote a letter to scold his sister Mibuchi Haruhin, what kind of red face and misfortune is that Naspo Yoshiyin is so confused that Hosokawa Fujitaka, who has always been wise, is not allowed to enter the door of Hosokawa's house.

Haruto Mibuchi and Fujitaka Hosokawa were both scolded and withered, one is my sister and the other is my mother. Speaking of which, the governor of the Izumi Hosokawa family is in power, and he is majestic.

Mibuchi Haru also agreed to go, but Hosokawa Fujitaka was unconvinced.

The shogunate is also decaying, only thinking about maintaining the status quo, and has no spirit to go out and do something. Today you can appease the hexagonal family, and tomorrow it can also be a three-good family.

If this continues, will there be a day of revival for the Ashikaga family? Not to mention the Ashikaga family, where does the Hosokawa family go?

Although she was resentful in her heart, she was only a small young master of the Izumi Hosokawa family for the time being, and it was not her turn to call the shots.

I just want to rebel against Yin's perseverance and determination, and I can't help but feel melancholy. After Hosokawa Mototsune vetoed, the two also lost their fate, thinking of the strange man's face, he had angina, couldn't sleep, and was helpless.

Since both sides want to compromise, things will be easy, and the most troublesome thing now is the Ashikaga white flag in the hand of Spo Yoshigin.

Hosokawa Fujitaka's letter, Hosokawa Mototsu can often say false, nonsense, there is no thing.

But the significance of this imperial flag is too great, and it is the face of the Ashikaga family that cannot be discarded. Even if Ashikaga Yoshiki cleans up his family and cuts his abdomen to harm himself, he will not say that it is false in his conscience.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's temperament is already strong, and in order to maintain the family business over the years, he has been a grandson for too long.

Although she was persuaded by the ministers to agree not to mobilize to attack the hexagon, she really would flip the table if she asked her to say that the imperial flag sent out was fake.

Haruto Mibuchi has been scolded as shit by a group of shogunes. If it weren't for her kindness and kindness, she had made friends over the years, and she was the bloodline of the Hosokawa family, she would have been hacked to death by someone indiscriminately.

Didn't you send the Ashikaga White Flag eventfully, as for being so passive! Now that the Asai family flag is in hand, how can the shogunate deny it?

Mibuchi Qingren, lose your father!

In the meeting room of the Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at the persuasive courtiers with cold eyes.

The shogunate shogunate was Ashikaga's wings and shackles. They have their own interests, their own demands, and they are not unconditional obedience and allegiance to Ashikaga shoguns.

For example, now, they want to force the general to stop the crusade against the Hexagons.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru had seen through this a long time ago, and after venting, she felt her powerlessness sadly again.

The mobilization of the Ashikaga family has stopped, and she has no way to bypass the retainers to attack Rokkaku Yoshiken.

But she also has her own dignity and bottom line as a general. Never claim that the imperial flag is fake, and never take back the enemy of the samurai of the hexagonal Yoshixian.

The gritted teeth and insistence of the princess overwhelmed the shogunates. They are all vested interests of the shogunate for many generations, and it is already a shame to persecute the shogun like this, so do you want to go further? I'm afraid that I won't be able to die well when the time comes.

The situation was stalemate, and for a moment there was an awkward silence between Kyoto and Minami-Omi.
