After beating the three of them, Yoshigami glanced at the remaining minor characters and was too lazy to use them to establish his power. He turned to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said in a pleasant tone.

"Your Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki, you are the sister of our ancestors. The Ashikaga Shogun family suffered a misfortune, and now only you and me are left.

We should unite as one and go to Luo to avenge our ancestors, do you think this is the truth?"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was ecstatic, and Shiba Yoshigan directly recognized her identity as a descendant of the Ashikaga Shogun family. As soon as he said this, outsiders were speechless.

She nodded respectfully.

"That's what Yutai said."

Yiyin shook his head and said.

"Don't be so polite. After all, I can be considered your brother-in-law, and you and I are not outsiders.

You are the only one left in the Ashikaga Shogun family's immediate family. After going to Luo, the shogunate will inevitably be reorganized.

Are you willing to take on more important responsibilities and contribute your strength to the continuation of the Ashikaga Shogun family?"

"Of course I do, Otaisho, it's my honor."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was overjoyed. She was so happy that her scalp was numb. How could things go so smoothly?

Yoshigan had originally planned to unite with Ashikaga Yoshiaki to resist the rise of Oda Nobunaga's power.

When he saw Ashikaga Yoshiaki's appearance resembling Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he thought of the kindness of the deceased and made up his mind to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

But he didn't know how deep Ashikaga Yoshiaki's resentment towards him was.

In the view of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Yoshigan Shiba, who has the great righteousness of being the direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, is far more dangerous than Oda Nobunaga.

Shiba Yiyin was temporarily unaware of the hostility in her heart, and still wished to help her rise to the top. He will suffer in the future.

Oda Nobunaga also sneered in his heart when he saw how majestic Yoshigoshi Shiba was and how he managed to keep the ministers and ministers in submission with just a few words.

In troubled times, the last word is to have a big fist.

Her patience today is all for the smooth progress of the climb to Luo. When the Oda family completes the climb to Luo and takes over the land of Minami Omi, she will take a step further.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga each had their own agendas, but at this time neither of them was willing to challenge Yoshihiro Shiba's dominance.

Therefore, the three of them successfully reached an agreement when they first met, and decided to send troops to Luo to avenge Ashikaga Yoshiki.

———

At the beginning of the new year, Shiba Yoshigan ascended the heights of Gifu Castle in the Mino Country and shouted to spread the word throughout the world.

The memorial scolded the Mihaoshi family for their betrayal of faith, tore up the peace agreement with the shogunate, and went to Luo to kill the general. The Mihaoshi family was unfaithful and unjust, and people and gods were indignant, and the martial arts families of the world punished them.

In the name of the direct surviving member of the Genji family in Kawachi, he carried the golden seal of his sword as a seal, accompanied Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the daughter of the Ashikaga shogun family, and called on loyal men to go to Luo to kill the thieves as a royal servant.

The four generals, Shiba, Ashikaga, Oda, and Tokugawa, formed a coalition, passed through Mino Country, and entered Kitaomi River.

The governor of the Asai family, Kitanomi Asai, and Nagamasa Asai responded to the great cause and raised the flag to join the coalition camp. In recent years, the door has been opened.

There are tens of thousands of coalition soldiers, and it is impossible to enter nearby areas at the same time. Mobilization and marching along the way will take a lot of time.

Five people, Yoshigan Shiba, Yoshiaki Ashikaga, Nobunaga Oda, Nagamasa Asai, and Ieyasu Tokugawa, met to gather their troops at the Sawa Mountain Castle in Omi Province, and the troops were directed towards the Omi Rokkaku family.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu of Kyoto was panicked when he heard the appeal, and quickly summoned the Miyoshi concubines in Kyoto to discuss the matter.

———

Fushimi Castle is located in the southern suburbs of Kyoto. It monitors the Katsura River basin that runs through the Seta River and Yodogawa River. It is an important gateway town that protects Kyoto.

Last year, Ashikaga Yoshiteru temporarily entrusted Fushimi Castle to Akechi Mitsuhide due to lack of troops.

Who would have expected that when Miyoshi went to Luo, Akechi Mitsuhide actually abandoned the city, resulting in the fall of Kyoto without a fight and the death of the general.

After the Miyoshi family occupied Kyoto, this became the temporary residence of the family governor Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

The situation in Kyoto was complicated, and the ministers had evil intentions. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and the ministers headed by Ise Sakyo did not get along happily.

Ninagawa, the second most powerful person in the shogunate, was born, and the general was killed because he stood still, so he felt hesitant.

As a last resort, she accepted Mitsuhide Akechi's suggestion and came forward to righteously accuse the Ise Sakyo of being disloyal, hoping to exonerate the Ninagawa family from their responsibility in the Kyoto Incident.

The Ninagawa family's territory is in Tamba country. Ever since the Miyoshi family was driven out of Tamba country by the Hatano family, the guardian of Tamba, the relationship between the Miyoshi family and the Hatano family has been very bad.

The Hatano family was also dissatisfied with the Miyoshi family occupying Kyoto. The Ninagawa family was willing to stand in front of the stage and cause trouble to the Miyoshi family. The Hatano family would of course take care of the safety of her people and territory.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu could not catch Ninagawa himself who was hiding in Tamba country, and the Ise Sadakyo could not unify the opinions among the shogunate.

After one winter, not only did the interior of the shogunate not return to calm, but it became increasingly chaotic. Even the funeral of Ashikaga Yoshiteru was hasty and was buried at Shokokuji Temple.

The ministers were careless and allowed the Rinzai Sect of Xiangguo Temple to succeed. This made the Tiantai Sect very dissatisfied and no longer paid attention to this false shogunate, which was arrogant and unqualified and was coerced by the Miyoshi family.

The Ise Sadato Sect was suffering from internal and external troubles, and it could not even take into account the military strength of the Miyoshi family stationed outside Kyoto.

In winter, when there was a shortage of food and clothing, the army took matters into its own hands to provide enough food and clothing, ruining the prosperous castle town of Kyoto.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu asked for supplies several times, but Ise Sadakyu prevaricated him. When the army began to rob, Ise Sadakō was eager to coordinate with her, but he was too happy to pay attention to it.

As a result, the barbarians from the four countries burned, killed, and looted the castle towns of Kyoto, committing all kinds of evil, and even made the Ise Sada sect passive.

The shogunate has been standing in Kyoto for more than 200 years. The shogunate's ministers rely on mountains and water, and most of their wealth is in the castle towns of Kyoto.

This plunder caused heavy losses to the shogunate's faction, and they deeply hated the Miyoshi family. Together with the Ise Sadakyō, they became known to the concubines as bad people who associate with bandits.

After a winter, the Ise Sadaect was so busy that they couldn't keep their feet on the ground, but they made a lot of noise inside and outside. The Ise family, which was a member of the political office and a well-known minister, was now a rat on the street, and everyone wanted to beat it.

She was almost physically and mentally exhausted, and she aged more than twenty years in one winter. If she had known this earlier, she would have been better off returning power to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and how could she have ended up in such a miserable state now.

When Ise Sadakyo received Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's request for her to go to Fushimi Castle for discussion, she simply ignored it.

She finally saw through that Sanhao's family was in a mountain city and had no support and no supplies.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also wants to fight against the coalition forces of Ashikaga Army God Shiba Yoshigan to prevent him from going to Luo with his great cause. Stop dreaming!

Ise Sadakyo has already begun to consider his family's retreat, and does not care at all about a Miyoshi family governor who is about to leave.

———

In the Fushimi Castle Council Hall, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sat in the chief seat.

When the messenger reported the news that Ise Sadakyo was ill and unable to come, Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's face instantly turned ugly.

She sneered.

"It was she who begged us to go to Luo earlier, and it was she who ignored my request later.

Now that there are foreign enemies, she is ill? I think she wants me to cut off the relationship, right? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!

Send me troops to surround Ise's residence, I want to see if she is sick!"

Matsunaga Hide was shocked and hurriedly stopped him.

"Not allowed, Your Highness!"

Matsunaga Hide has been depressed and unhappy this winter. She was cheated to death by her precious daughter.

When his daughter Matsunagamichi was instigated by Honda Masanobu to open the passage to Yodo Castle without telling Matsunagahide and lead the Miyoshi army to attack Luo, Matsunagahide in Kyoto was still chatting with Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

As a result, Miyoshi's army rushed into Kyoto, and the Matsunaga family's troops burned, killed, and looted the palace of the Ashikaga Shogun's family. Some of the warriors even killed Ashikaga Teru-kun, a noble son, in spite of his life.

In order to cover up the facts, Matsunaga Hide had no choice but to burn down the imperial palace, causing the Odaisho and Ashikaga Teru-kun to perish in the flames.

But this is still not enough.

In order to prevent Ashikaga Yoshiki from being traced later, she did everything she could to borrow the letter signed by Miyoshi Yoshitsugu in Matsunaga's hands, forcing the three Miyoshis to attack Nijo Castle and kill Ashikaga General.

Although this confused account was no longer clear, she had also completely reached a dead end.

No one can bear the blame for the Miyoshi family's Luo Regicide, and Matsunaga Hide has already made plans to jump off the Miyoshi family's broken ship.

On the one hand, she established a good relationship with the ministers in Kyoto, put all the blame on the three good people, and cleared her name. On the other hand, she was also waiting for the rebels in Shangluo.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was not the Miyoshi Nagakei of that year. She had no political strategy to control the Kyoto shogunate, she only went to Luoyang for the sake of going to Luoyang.

A wise lord, when the war begins, he must think about how to end it.

As for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, this idiot, she just wanted to secure her position as the governor of the Miyoshi family, but she dragged the entire Miyoshi family into the abyss.

Honda Masanobu left, ran away from the Matsunaga family, and went to Akechi Mitsuhide.

Matsunaga hated her old friend Mitsuhide Akechi deeply, but at this moment, she wanted to get in touch with Mitsuhide Akechi.

If he could get away with his crime and make a counterattack, Yoshihiro Shiba would be willing to accept it. Can Akechi Mitsuhide mediate for him?

Because of this dissatisfaction, Matsunagahide wished that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu would mess around in Kyoto and get out as soon as possible, but Ise Sakyo couldn't kill him.

Ise Sadakyo is a partner of the Miyoshi family in Kyoto. If she is removed, the business will be completely ruined. If Kyoto is destroyed by war, this will be a serious crime.

Matsushita Nagahide also wanted to use Kyoto as a proxy so that he could seek a new future. Of course, he hoped that Ise Sadakyo would help stabilize the situation first.

She stepped out of the queue, bowed, and said.

"Your Highness, although Ise Sakyo is hateful, she is one of the few ministers who is close to us. If we attack her, what will the ministers think of us?

Although the Kyoto shogunate is now very hostile to us, Ise Sadakyo still controls the situation.

Our military strength stranded in Kyoto relies solely on supplies transported by the Yodogawa River, which is simply not enough.

We need Ise Sadakyo to help us raise supplies, and we need her to stabilize the local power in Yamashiro Country.
