Pillars of the Wu family

"There was a change in the Kaga Ichimuzong, and Chaoshoji Temple ordered Chengxian of Kotokuji Temple to lead the army to rescue the Etchu Ichimuzong. The banner was to punish Kira, the most cruel way in the world for the gods and Buddhas... Yoshitoki! This time! The number of Kaga Ichikui's army is no less than [-], and its troops have taken the post of Jinbao Chief as the vanguard and have already marched in Kaga Kanazawa Gobo... [-]! It's really a big hand, and I really don't have a chance to breathe! Punish me? It's really interesting!"

Yoshitoki Kira's expression was very relaxed, as if he was still in the mood to ridicule Kaga Iskomune's statement, but Uesugi Masatora, Hosokawa Fujitaka and others who knew his character well knew that the flames of anger were constantly bursting out in his heart, and only the extremely angry Only when he showed this expression, they were very worried that Ji Liangyi, who became angry, would take extraordinary revenge.

Hattori Masaki frowned and thought for a while, then said: "This reminds me of a rumor I received a few months ago. It is said that Chaoshoji Misho once sent an envoy to contact Ishiyama Honganji. According to the rumors in my family, it seems that Honganji Temple deliberately invited a decree from Enryaku Temple in Mount Hiei. The purpose is to point out that the Lord is the enemy of the Buddha. Missing, because we did not find more accurate evidence, we discarded it."

Fortunately, Kirayoshi was not so impulsive at the time, he forced down the anger in his chest and said in a cold voice: "It turns out that Honganji Temple seemed to want to move but was rejected by Hieizan Enryakuji Temple. It is really a ruthless scheming and a vicious conspiracy." Anyway, Yu has never shown any hostility towards Honganji Temple and has been treated like this. This sect is indeed a vicious and evil generation! Thanks to the fact that the monks of Enli Temple did not fall for it, Yu's influence in Jinai is huge. It is not comparable to the Yixiangzong that everyone shouts and beats!"

"That Yixiangzong is really a bunch of despicable people. I'm afraid it's useless to use this banner to attack us. Is it worthless? Trying to be an outsider but thinking of punishing us and other famous martial arts. What a joke!"

"If I'm not clean, I think everyone in the world is as dirty as him. These monks are truly hopeless!"

A group of genealogy retainers started arguing, Kira Yoshishi raised his folding fan and beat the table, coldly glanced at the warriors with different dark colors in the large room, and said lightly: "Since Echigo Xiaxiang, Yu is close to the Hokuriku Ichigo Sect, but Yu and Honganji do not have a deep hatred. If they hadn't called the door several times, how could Yu have abandoned Kanto? Why did he deploy heavy troops to guard Yuezhong? You must know that it is for the benefit of the generals If you want to fight, don't fight, if you want to fight, you don't want to fight, if you want to fight, you don't want to fight.

Yu's restraint and tolerance several times is not because Yu can't bear to fight rashly, but because the Hokuriku sect has always been not Yu's strategic focus, but there are always people who think they are righteous and want to challenge Yu and challenge the prestige of the Kami Ashikaga family. He expects the slightest chance!We must completely defeat him and let them understand what a Wu family is.Monks should return to the monastery to pray for the world, instead of imitating samurai wielding swords and guns! "

Kira Yoshitoki's attitude is very clear.That is to punish the clown who has repeatedly provoked his authority, so that he can no longer be allowed to come out again and again to find trouble, but his statement does not mean that the strategic goal is shifting to the west and expanding along the Hokuriku Road, whether it is him personally Masatora Uesugi, Tokiyuki Yamamoto, Yukitaka Sanada, and a kind of genealogy retainer are all making active preparations for going south to Kanto, so they don't have the time to entangle with the Ichiko clan of Hokuriku Kaga Kingdom. [

Nakaga country is not a commanding country at all, but a gathering place for Hokuriku's usual demon monks. Their nature is similar to those cult organizations that have been exterminated, inciting poor people to go crazy for a illusory name, turning over The shogunate appointed the guardian daimyo of Kaga and established a chaotic area where no one cares. Win or lose.

You can't use conventional methods to deal with Ichikui. The best way is to follow the example of the big devil and carry out a massacre in Kaga. Together with Echigo Uesugi, they will break through the Kaga country, burn, kill and loot, and throw the followers of Kaga Ichikui into a cauldron and boil them to death. , massacred 10,000+ people in the entire Kaga and then frightened the remaining remnants.

However, unilateral massacre is meaningless. Ishiyama Honganji Temple stands perfectly on the south bank of the Yodo River. Yoshikage Asakura is not the powerful Uesugi Kenshin who hated the Ichiko sect in history. A plague-stricken chicken, wilted and huddled around in Yichenggu City, idling around, not even caring about Echizen's Ichikui.

Without the active cooperation of the Asakura family, there would be no strategy of blocking both ends. Even if we win one or two wars, attacking Kaga country and killing them indiscriminately, and then retreating, it would be meaningless. They cannot kill the backbone of Ichikui and let them escape to Echizen Taking refuge in Ichimune's imperial workshop is like cutting grass without rooting out its roots. After waiting for a year or so, Kaga will be greeted with a sudden spring breeze overnight, and thousands of pear trees will bloom.

The rear of Ishiyama Honganji Temple will not fall. Going to fight the Kaga Issouzong is nothing but a bamboo basket. If you hit the front foot and retreat, they will follow and recover. You can send [-] to [-] defenders to stop the situation. What's more, I can't guard against Shishan Honganji's small actions. If an army of [-] to [-] is sent to guard Kaga for three to five years, then there is really no need to do anything, just watch Kaga's every move all day long!

Even if it takes a lot of effort to relocate all the natives of the Kaga Kingdom, it will not be completed in one or two years. It will be a long-term war to completely fight with Yixiangzong. Maybe Ishiyama Honganji will find an opportunity to relocate Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei is going to send a decree to crusade against the Buddhist enemies. When they go to the Ashikaga house, they will really cause a commotion for eating mutton.

In the next few days, the size of Kasuga Mountain City will continue to grow, and the family members of the Pu Dynasty will change the topic from going south to Kanto to discussing the plan to rescue Yuezhong. The important ministers of Pu Dai sat together to discuss how to send troops to aid Vietnam.

After many days of meeting torture, the faces of many samurai were exhausted. Hosokawa Fujitaka rubbed his temples to relieve fatigue, and asked hesitantly: "The strategy set by the Lord is to send troops south to Kanto this year, but I don't know Will this always hold back this year's strategic plan, if the plan to enter Kanto is delayed, when will it be implemented?"

The light in Uesugi Masatora's eyes flashed, he slowly closed his eyes and squeezed his rosary and said softly: "It depends on the speed of Kaga's deployment, if calculated according to the normal recruitment rate, Kaga's speed is probably We still have to wait two months to enter Yuezhong, so there is plenty of time to prepare! In addition, the war in Yuezhong is only a local war, and we can send [-] elite troops to help. China's efforts to defeat the invading enemy should not affect this year's military deployment."

Namioka Tanbo shook his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile: "My lord's intention should be to hurt Kaga Izumomune, and let them realize that they are not our opponents, so that we can discuss the non-war and peace, and have Etsuchu as an opponent." It is enough to defend Echigo's flank on the western front, but it would be worse to rashly get involved in the quagmire of Kaga. Takeda Daizenden has room to move, and is not willing to easily get involved in the quagmire of Kai."

For a long time, Ben was thinking for a while and answered the wrong question: "Actually, the Suwa and Ina counties in southern Shinano are not difficult to obtain, but we are worried that the persecution will be too urgent and the coalition forces of Hojo and Imagawa will be recruited. The two counties of Shinano will be lost. It means that Takeda's business strategy in Shinano has been defeated across the board. If Takeda Shingen is determined to fight me to death, he will put the safety of Shinano out of the way. It is better to give him a little false hope and let him maintain his faith. Concentrate the last spark of hope, and dare not force the lord too much to take out the army and take these two counties."

"This is the same as the release of six thousand captives. Give Takeda Dazenden a hope to persevere. False hope with hidden dangers will allow him to find ways to continue to expand and maintain his family business, instead of being like a wounded orphan. The wolves stared at my Kamiso Ashikaga house and kept biting. The goal of the master is always to go south to Kanto, not to settle personal grievances with Takeda Daizenden.

Didn't the Lord once say that military and state affairs are the most realistic things in the world, but there is no room for tenderness, let alone naive delusions, but the most important thing in battle is the word benefit, and the harm outweighs the benefit You can't fight wars that cannot be sustained, don't seize unsustainable enclaves, don't fight joint battles that have no benefits. Now fighting Kai will do more harm than good, and fighting Kaga will do more harm than good. Easy to handle. "

The Kami-Ashikaga family is in the rising period of the family business. A series of victories has brought countless glory, but it also puts great pressure on the family governor and the pedigree family. , Maybe it will be reduced to the embarrassing situation of returning to the pre-liberation overnight. This is not because of the shogunate in Kyoto, or the 300-year influence of the middle school in his hometown of Sanhe. His personal prestige is accumulated by military exploits. The Ashikaga family has insufficient accumulation and lack of foundation.

Because of this, Kira Yoshishi's military strategy was extra cautious, and the selection of generals should be as calm and solid as possible, just like Takikawa Tokimasa, who was young and escaped generals, but was bound early in Kasugayama Castle The same is true for guarding. Maintaining a huge family is like managing one's own life. It is impossible not to sharpen the edges and corners to hide the edge. [

Although Fengrui Masamori is good, there is a problem of rigidity and fragility after all. It is not good to hurt yourself one day if you are too sharp. Another example is that Yamaoka Zenjiro was bound by Yoshitoki Kira for ten years when he was the general of Maguire. In [-], a stupefied stupefied young man was hardened into a mature and stable Mahui general. If he hadn't been buffed to the effect, Kira Yoshishi would not have dared to let him stay by his side all the time to be this Mahui general. (to be continued...)
