"In your heart, which one is more important, the Lord or Iimori Mountain Castle?"
Akechi Mitsuhide spoke with a smile, but the coldness in his tone made people shudder.
Fujibayashi was shocked and grabbed his sister to bow her head and apologize.
"Lord Akechi, calm down, my sister didn't mean that."
Akechi Mitsuhide sneered, ignored her, and spoke to Otani Yoshitsugi and Toudo Takatora.
"Otani-hime, Todo-hime, we are old acquaintances of Omi. I won't say much, just ask you.
The Lord is in trouble, what should I do?"
Otani Yoshitsugi and Toudo Takatora looked at each other and shouted in unison.
"Loyalty to the king will result in death!"
Both of them were born as domestic servants, and had experienced the pain of being inferior to others in Omi.
Since following Yoshiun, he has been making steady progress, and with the end of this war, the Shiba family will be revived, and he will be able to become an important minister of the Shiba family.
The family honors the status and the lintel shines.
Now that Shiba Yiyin is in danger, he dies in battle, and the Shiba family is declared destroyed.
The Otani family and the Todo family will return to the ranks of lowly Chinese people, how can they bear it!
As long as they can save their lord, they will not hesitate even if their army is completely destroyed.
Without the Shiba Yiyin, without the golden brand name of the Shiba family, their status in the martial arts family would be nothing!
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded with satisfaction and turned back to look at the third husband of Momochi and the twin girls Fujibayashi.
"My lord is invincible, and the Sanhao family shamelessly planned to kill him.
Once the Miyoshi family's conspiracy succeeds, all the efforts and sacrifices of the Iga people will be in vain.
What do you think if what I say is true or false?"
Bai Di San Taifu immediately answered.
"Lord Akechi clearly sees it! Bai Di San Taifu agrees!"
She couldn't help but secretly scold Teng Linxing for being mentally ill.
The Iga clan has sacrificed so many people and made so many military exploits. They are about to follow the Shiba family and become popular in the shogunate. Of course, they must fight to save Yoshigan Shiba.
Without Shiba Yiyin, who can honor the military merits? Didn’t everyone in Iga die in vain?
Moreover, the founding of the country requires him to negotiate with the general as the guardian of Iga. How can the Iga people be qualified to speak in front of the general.
What’s even more terrifying is that the Iga clan followed Yoshigoshi Shiba in Yamato and killed Yoshihiro Miyoshi! They also killed Ichikawa Tokawa!
Once Miyoshi Nagakei takes over the shogunate, the people of Iga will shed their skin even if they don't die.
At this time, there was no choice. He had to support Shiba Yigen. Even if the Iga army was crippled, he had to be rescued.
Fujibayashi Xing felt aggrieved. It was not that she didn't understand these truths. She just mentioned it because Iimori Yamashiro had to take care of it.
Who would have thought that Akechi Mitsuhide turned into a hedgehog because of Yoshinobu's danger, pricking anyone he saw, which was completely unreasonable.
Now she doesn't care about anything but her Lord!
After receiving everyone's approval, Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said.
"Otani-hime and Toudou-hime, please organize your troops immediately. No matter how many there are, we will set off directly after a meal.
You need to attract the attention of the Miyoshi army blocking the attack in the south, giving Maeda Hime's cavalry a chance to rush over and move south to support the Lord.
The follow-up troops will continue to assemble the army with Momojihime and the Fujibayashi sisters, and set off as soon as possible to support the front."
"Hi!"
The princess warriors quickly left the tent, Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and thought about something.
It's not enough. The total number of Iga troops is only more than 2,000, which is not enough to see in the big battlefield of Hanoi.
Since Sanhao Changqing is determined to take action, it must go all out and make no mistakes.
Just as he was thinking about it, the general summoned all the families to discuss the situation, and there was something strange happening in Sanhao Changqing.
After a while, Ashikaga Yoshiteru launched a review in the shogunate.
"Miyoshi Changqing is moving. She leads her family of Miyoshi to approach the Yodo River, seemingly preparing to cross the river.
In addition, the Miyoshi family has detained Wada Weimasa, and the circumstances are unknown."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru had a bad look on his face. He looked down and saw Mitsuhide Akechi but not Yoshigan Shiba.
"Mingzhiji, where is Mr. Yiyin?"
Mitsuhide Akechi connected Miyoshi's gesture with Yoshihiro Shiba's experience, and his heart felt chilly.
This is to contain the shogunate army and not give the Lord a chance to survive.
After hearing the general's question, she immediately went out to kneel down and kowtow.
"Please General, please save my master's life!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her in surprise, not knowing why.
"What's wrong with Yiyin-kun?"
"Sanhao Changqing wants to kill the Lord!
Earlier, a small group of cavalry troops harassed the logistics line of Iimoriyama Castle, and the Lord led his horses back to drive them away.
After independently moving southward, three good military forces appeared in the south, blocking the road southward.
Now Sanhao Changqing is bluffing on the other side again, and its intention is obvious.
She wanted to ambush the Lord to avenge her murder of her daughter and sister!
I beg the Lord to send troops south quickly to rescue our lord.
Be quick, Lord Gongfang!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki's face looked uncertain after hearing this.
Everything Akechi Mitsuhide said made sense, and she was convinced. It was just a major military matter, and she couldn't act arbitrarily.
If Sanhao Changqing really wants to cross the river, she will send troops south. It is a taboo to split the troops before the battle.
Before he could think clearly, Ise Sadakyo who was sitting next to him snorted coldly.
“It’s ridiculous to be so far-fetched.
Sanhao Changqing obviously couldn't stand the general sending Tian Weizheng to ask about the battle, so he sent troops to fight.
How can we have anything to do with Spo Yiyin’s private move south?
The troops in the south should be a partial division sent by Miyoshi Changqing to distract our army's attention and reduce difficulties for the main force in the front to cross the river."
Ise Sakyo also agreed with Akechi Mitsuhide's statement, but she just wanted Shiba Yigen to die!
Among the shogunate troops today, most are silent, and only two people have loud voices.
Ise Sadakyo, who advocated peace, and Shiba Yoshigan, who advocated war.
Ise Sakyo insisted on compromise in the peace talks, but the result was hated by the general. If the Miyoshi family does not have an advantage in this battle, the fate of the Ise family is unpredictable.
So she hated Shiba Yiyin who was disrupting the situation, and wished that the Miyoshi family would kill him.
Although the shogun was concerned about the interests of the shogunate and wanted to negotiate, it was not the peace negotiation that Ise Sadakyo wanted.
The Ise Sakyo peace talks were about making concessions to the Miyoshi family and exchanging the rights of the general in exchange for the favor of the Miyoshi family.
This is the generosity of the general to protect the interests of the ministers.
The negotiation that the general wants is for both sides to cease the war and return to the army to find their respective mothers. The Sanhao family should not try to push the envelope further.
Spo Yiyin insisted on being strong at the beginning.
After understanding the vital interests of the shogunate, he knew that the general also wanted to negotiate as soon as possible in order to safeguard the foundation of the shogunate.
He immediately softened his figure and began to move closer to the general's will, so he gained the general's favor.
The shogun, Ise Sadakyo, and Shiba Yoshigan all have their own demands. Originally, these were still playing games in secret.
But Miyoshi Nagakei's beheading operation brought the secret struggle within the shogunate army to the surface.
Because Shiba Yiyin was in danger, Akechi Mitsuhide had made up his mind to give way to all plans.
Anyone who stops me from going to the Savior will die!
With a smile on her lips, she silently approached Ise Sadaji.
All the concubines thought that she wanted to exchange benefits and persuade with words.
Who knows, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly drew his sword and put it on Ise Sakyo's neck.
"Don't be rude!"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is going crazy, what on earth is Akechi Mitsuhide going to do!
For so many years, no matter how fierce the struggle was, no one has ever used a knife in front of the general's throne. This is the bottom line of political struggle.
You can kill your opponents outside, but in front of the general's seat is the place where benefits are exchanged.
The disputes between the Wu family cannot be endless, right? There is always a need for a safe place to make compromises and deals, right?
Who knew that Akechi Mitsuhide was not going to waste any more time? My Lord's life was in danger at any time, so why the hell do I still have time to argue with you?
