Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide's move was feasible, Yoshigami felt a little flustered. He really didn't want to go to war.
At this time, Nizi Shengjiu, who had been bowing his head in deep thought, raised his head and asked.
"Lord Akechi, the Niki family also has several villages on the border of Iga country. Her family has made a lot of money in recent years, right?
How can you make Niki Yoshimasa give up these benefits and be willing to be the guardian of Shiba Gozen?"
"yes!"
Yiyin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and immediately agreed.
Akechi Mitsuhide said confidently.
"Since the Niki family lost Iga country, the family fortune has been greatly reduced. The head of the family, Niki Yoshimasa, is now a close official of the shogun, and both the Ashikaga family and the Ashikaga family are in harm's way.
Moreover, her family is weak, so it is not her turn to enjoy this large sum of benefits. It is nothing more than a leak to her.
Nowadays, the three good things are very powerful. If the Ashikaga family cannot resist it, how can the Hitomi family keep their family business?
She does not have the background of the Ise family. Without the big tree of Ashikaga, the Niki family can only be at the mercy of others."
This world is full of cannibalism. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
The Niki family had no choice. Either throw away the benefits of Iga's feudal state, or gamble that the general would collapse and their family would not be implicated.
The latter is almost like a dream. Without a backstage or a background, who knows what your Renmu family is?
Iga Guardian? Can I eat it?
As a close minister of Ashikaga, her family could only help Ashikaga Yoshiteru to pass this test as much as possible.
If Shiba Yoshigami wins the Guardianship and really blocks Tokawa Issun's offensive, then she, Hitoshi Yoshimasa, will be a meritorious minister.
On the one hand, if a guardian is not given, there will be some benefits but the family fortune cannot be saved. On the other hand, if a guardian is given, there will be great benefits after forming a good relationship.
Tell me, how do you choose Niki Yoshimasa?
Yoshihiro is a little desperate. Is there really no escape and he has to fight this battle for the shogunate?
I felt very angry and said.
"Then let's go and try. If it's true as you say, and Iga's military power is gained, I will go to Yamato to meet that Oni Juga."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said.
"Fuji Takahime and Niki Yoshimasa have a very good personal relationship. I want to talk to Fuji Takahime and ask her to come forward and persuade Niki Yoshimasa."
"Hosokawa-sama? I haven't seen her since I came back. Is she okay?"
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Yoshiyin with a strange look in his eyes.
"It's not very good. In order to speak for you, she was imprisoned in the Hosokawa Mansion by Lord Hosokawa Motonsune.
Later, because I couldn’t help, I felt embarrassed to come to see you and felt tangled.”
Yiyin smiled.
"She has tried her best, how can I blame her. Go see her this time, say hello for me, and ask her to come and sit down when you have time. They are all comrades who have been on the battlefield together, so there is nothing to worry about."
Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile on his lips.
"I'll pass it on."
Without further ado, she was going to the Hosokawa Mansion.
After she left, Nizi Shengjiu asked Yiyin.
"My lord, will all the Ji warriors here go to this battle?"
She had just seen Takada Harano and Yukino sisters, and felt that the two did not look like Samurai Hime, which was a bit strange.
"Sisters Takada will not go. Takada Yono is a businessman in the family and will go to Sakai Port. Takada Yukino will join the shogunate as a swordsmanship professor."
Nizi Shengjiu nodded.
Yiyin suddenly thought of it and said.
"Yano, there's going to be a war now. I'm afraid the road to Sakai Port will be uneven. Do you want someone to escort you there?"
As he said that, he glanced at his subordinates.
Nizi Shengjiu and Shanzhong Xingsheng were guest generals, and they came to serve the public as a reward, so naturally they would not protect them.
Maeda Yoshida and Toudo Takatora averted their eyes. He didn't want to send these two troublemakers out, and he didn't dare to send them out. Who knew how much trouble they would cause Harano.
Finally, his eyes stopped on Otani Yoshitsugi.
"Otani-hime, could you please accompany Harano to Sakai Port?"
Otani Yoshitsugi was stunned.
"Lord, I am your flag guard."
Otani Yoshitsugi is now the flag guard guarding the Ashikaga White Flag. This position requires not only force but also loyalty, which cannot be replaced by ordinary people.
Yang Na also interjected.
"Lord Yiyin, if you want to go to war, the more Ji warriors you can use, the better. You can't distract the family's strength for trivial matters like mine."
Yiyin said.
"But on the line from Kyoto to Sakai Port, there will be a military rebellion this time. Otherwise, don't go there yet."
Yang Na shook his head and answered gratefully.
"Yukino will accompany me once. The general has to deal with the Miyoshi family now, and he has no time to practice sword practice for the time being. Yukino can take leave to accompany me, and then let her come back after the war is over."
Yiyin thought about it, this was fine, and agreed. He looked around and saw that no one wanted to talk, so he dismissed the meeting.
He thought to himself that if Akechi Mitsuhide could really convince Hitoshi Yoshimasa to give up Iga country, he would accept his fate and meet the fierce general Juga Ichin.
Anyway, under the plug-in, there is no difference between a fierce general and a salted fish, it is just a probability of one sword or two swords.
Hosokawa Residence, Hosokawa Fujitaka greeted Akechi Mitsuhide in the tea room.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become a companion of the shogunate, equivalent to me in status. It seems that Imperial Majesty Shiba thinks highly of you."
The status of companion is generally given to the young master of the daimyo family, or to the retired daimyo. This status can indeed be said to be on an equal footing with the young master of the Izumi-Hosokawa family.
However, the Izumi-Hosokawa family has a noble status and is a relative of the Ashikaga family. Hosokawa Fujitaka's words are somewhat sarcastic.
Akechi Mitsuhide replied calmly.
"The Lord is so kind to me, Mitsuhide is grateful."
"Oh, it is indeed a good fortune to climb a high branch. No wonder you wanted to follow him to Kitaomi River so that you could make a good plan."
Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't stand Mitsuhide Akechi today. He didn't know whether he was jealous of her for being with Yoshigan, or whether she had originally wanted to abandon him and follow Yoshigan Shiba.
Akechi Mitsuhide was not a good person either. The two were close friends, so they naturally knew where to hit Hosokawa Fujitaka in pain.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I just have some courage. It's better than some people who don't even dare to meet their fiancés."
Hosokawa Fujitaka suddenly blushed. This matter was the shame of her life. Why did she misunderstand it at that time, and let Mitsuhide Akechi, a sinister bitch, know about it.
"Don't talk nonsense! Do you know that the Odaisho has fallen in love with Shiba Gozen? Maybe he will be the Godaisho in the future. Aren't you afraid that you will die without a burial place in the future if you talk nonsense?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka had no choice but to use his mother's speculation to scare Akechi Mitsuhide. As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Akechi Mitsuhide said contemptuously.
"This is the Fujitaka Hosokawa I know? How did you become like this now? How did you accomplish great things despite being timid and timid?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka was angry.
"What do you know? The Izumi-Hosokawa family seems to be noble, but in fact they are in great danger. How can they do whatever they want."
Hosokawa Fujitaka felt deeply aggrieved for a long time. He did not dare to see the man he loved and was ridiculed repeatedly by his friends.
Akechi Mitsuhide sneered.
"I slept with the Lord."
"What did you say!"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at his close friend's face and spoke word by word.
"I used the coercion of public favors to trick the Sibo Yiyin you have been thinking about into your bed."
