Chapter 26: The Dispute between the Family and the Governor
"What if...... What did you just say...... If there's anything that makes me extremely dissatisfied, I'll use this to fight with you! Now that a verbal covenant has been made, this thing is useless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After listening to Mrs. Ju's explanation, Su Le breathed a sigh of relief, and then he carefully examined the body of this dangerous woman before going to Wushan with her.
……
The next day, Su Le signed a written covenant with the Sanjo family on behalf of the Hirata family, and then returned to his home city with Athena and Shiboko. At the same time, Okochi Munehisa retreated to the west with a large army, and the soldiers in the city were waiting for Su Le's next instructions.
"We did a great job in the tough battles and now the most difficult stage is over. I have formed an alliance with the Sanjo family, and the Sanjo family is currently helping us share the pressure on the Okochi side, and we will take this opportunity to kill Asakura Seimasa in one fell swoop and avenge Lord Shinyasu! ”
The morale of the generals under his command was high, and they all expressed their willingness to continue to follow, so Su Le immediately reorganized the team, leaving the wounded and weak soldiers to defend the city, and the others followed Su Le and immediately went to Asakura City.
Izuki Sugiko has already fought a lot of battles in the territory of the Asakura family, and although Asakura Narumasa is not an incompetent person, he is obviously at a disadvantage. So at that time, he defeated the Okochi army and "captured" two cities, eighty percent of which was fake, and it was a scene played by the Asakura family and the Okochi family in collusion for Hirata Nobuyasu.
As for why Asakura Narimasa, who has always been simple and upright, suddenly betrayed Hirata Nobuyasu, it is estimated that he was also instructed by the shogun, although the Shogunate was weakened, but he was still nominally the commander of the samurai.
Su Le led his troops and the Izuki family to join forces, continued to put pressure on the Asakura army, and soon forced Asakura Narumasa to retreat into the city, but the combined forces of the two families in this place could not easily break the city, so Su Le decided to leave the troops to give Mu Sugi unified command, and he returned to Tokaido to gather the army.
"Are you leaving? I haven't slept enough with you in my arms! Izuki Sugiko said with some dissatisfaction.
"Next time, pregnancy is something that can't be rushed, and it's important to stabilize the situation in the region at the moment."
After convincing Kisugiko, Su Le immediately took Athena back to the main city of the Hirata family in Tokaido, and at this time, the elders of the family, led by the Shibata Kei, were still arguing.
Su Le first visited Weaving Ji, and Weaving Ji apologized for not being able to help Su Le: "I'm sorry, I didn't help anything, woo woo woo~ After I came back, not only did those people not avenge my brother, but they came to propose to me one after another, and I closed the door in a fit of anger and didn't see anyone." ”
"It's okay if you're okay, and I'll take care of the rest."
Su Le comforted Orihime, and then found Lady Kaede to discuss the establishment of Kaede Yoshimaru as the family governor, and Lady Kaede also wanted her son to ascend to a high position, but few of the important ministers of the Hirata family supported her.
At this time, the war with the Asakura family must be ended as soon as possible, and Su Le racked his brains to think of a good way - he decided to act in a play with Madame Kaede.
On this day, at the castle tower, the bosses of the Sule and Hirata families were still discussing who would inherit the position of governor and who would gather the Hirata family's army to defeat the Asakura family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the people that your husband relied on the most during his lifetime, and now his husband is dead in the western country, and he has not even left a corpse...... Woowoo...... Not only did you not avenge him, but you discussed the distribution of benefits here and even appointed another person as the governor of the family, so bullying our orphans and widows and being helpless, are you worthy of the spirit of Xinkang in heaven? ”
Madame Kaede complained bitterly with tears in her eyes, and the men present were silent.
Su Le took advantage of the situation and said loudly: "Yes, although Lord Xinkang is gone, but the sister-in-law Fengji Pill is still there, what else do you have to hesitate about, support Fengji Pill to avenge Lord Xinkang, isn't this what you should do as a courtier?" ”
The double reed performances of Lady Kaede and Su Le worked, and most of the people present expressed their support for Lady Kaede and Kaedeyoshimaru, and only a few people such as Shibata Keika remained silent.
"Asakura Castle has been surrounded by me, but it is difficult to break the city if you don't have enough troops, there are people who are willing to help Kaedehimaru avenge his father, come with me, let's take down the head of Asakura Naruma to pay tribute to Lord Shinyasu's spirit in the sky!"
Su Le's words made the retainers present even more enthusiastic, so Su Le took advantage of the situation and got up and walked out, and many people also got up and expressed their willingness to follow.
Just as he was about to complete his work, Shizugozen suddenly entered the castle tower with Hirata Nobuyuki.
"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Jing Yuqian said: "Kaedehimaru is still too young, and it is more appropriate for Nobuyuki to inherit the position of family governor at this time. Although it is common sense for a father to die and a son to succeed, it is sometimes more appropriate for a brother to die and a brother, such as during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Western Han Dynasty on the mainland, Sun Ce was assassinated and poisoned before he died, and Sun Quan was designated as his successor. If any of you want to support this ignorant child, you want to take the opportunity to dictate power or even usurp power! ”
The sudden appearance of Jing Yuqian disrupted Su Le's plan, and this woman suddenly stabbed herself in the back, which made Su Le very angry, "When Xinxing rebelled against Lord Xinkang back then, he should have let him apologize with death!" If Nobuyuki becomes the family governor, I'll take Lady Kaede and Lady Kaedeyoshimaru away! lest the blood of Lord Shinyasu be harmed by those who will take revenge in the future! ”
Su Le's words made Jing Yuzen and Hirata Nobuyuki very frightened, and they didn't dare to continue talking, at this time Shibata Jingjia said: "Let's put the position of family governor first, let's integrate the forces first and destroy the Asakura family." ”
On the surface, the Shibata Jingjia seems to be neutral, but in fact, he is still on the side of Hirata Nobuyuki, but if he continues to fight, it will inevitably cause a split in the Hirata family, and it is more likely that Su Le will lead people to capture Asakura Narumasa Castle, which is very unfavorable to himself and Nobuyuki's side.
Su Le also did not want to see the Hirata family split at this time, and at the same time hoped to eliminate the Asakura family's abdominal problem as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in. Because after all, the ally of the Sanjo family is weaker than the powerful Hanoi family in the western country, if something happens to the Sanjo family, not only will the battle situation be very passive, but Su Le will also feel uncomfortable.
"Let's avenge Lord Shinyasu first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Su Le agreed with the Shibata Keike family, and after the two of them reached an agreement, the others did not dare to raise any more objections, and the army of the Hirata family drove to Asakura Castle one after another.
However, Su Le can't leave immediately, and Orihime is currently neutral, so it's not too much of a problem. Lady Kaede and Kaedeyoshimaru are more dangerous, and the mother and son may be assassinated, so Su Le specially leaves some cronies to protect their mother and son.
At present, the army is constantly going to the residence of Asakura Chengzheng, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, and it is not a matter of too long, so it is not too much of a problem for Su Le to leave some people.
In addition, Su Le also took out a lot of money to let Athena hire Koga's ninjas to monitor the bigwigs of the Hirata family and keep track of the movements of these people. After making sure that nothing went wrong, Su Le went to Jing Yuqian's room alone to settle accounts with her......
