"Father, do you really want to go to war? Didn't you say before that you should accumulate strength and wait and see what happens?"

In the castle of Shangheiji Temple, Master Saburo looked confused as he saw the retainers and warriors busy everywhere. Master Saburo looked confused. Master Saburo really didn't understand what his cheap father was thinking. He had nothing to do to go here.

What are you doing wading in muddy water?

Are Ryomasa Asai or the people of Kitaomi easy to mess with?

Kyogoku Takahiro sighed and said slowly, "I thought about it for four or five days, and finally felt that I shouldn't just sit back and watch, otherwise Omi would only know the name Kyogoku Takayoshi, but not me, Kyogoku Takahiro!"

After all, Kyogoku Takahiro is still a person who cherishes his reputation. If he is indifferent to this matter, what will the dead think of him? And how will the people of Omi think of him? As the head of the Kyogoku family, what else will he do?

What majesty can we talk about?

This year's autumn harvest did not have any impact on the Kyogoku family. On the contrary, due to poor harvests in Asai County and Ika County next door, food prices in Kitaomi soared, and the Kyogoku family took the opportunity to make a small profit.

Therefore, the Kyogoku family is qualified to send troops, and although the retainers of the Kyogoku family are not very supportive of this, since Kyogoku Takahiro has orders, they can only obey.

At this time, the Kyogoku family, except for those disobedient members of the country, Kyogoku Takahiro's direct ministers were still very loyal. Historically, after the Asai family was destroyed by the Oda family, many of the former Kyogoku family's former ministers

He still chose to join the Kyogoku family, which can be seen from this.

Seeing what Kyogoku Takahiro said, Master Saburo didn't know what to do. After thinking for a long time, Master Saburo had to say: "Asai Ryomasa is not a mediocre person. If our family is at war with the Asai family, we should try our best to stay safe."

.The situation of the Asai family cannot be sustained for long, as long as it can be delayed!"

"I understand!" Kyogoku Takahiro nodded, but although he agreed with his mouth, whether he really took it seriously in his heart has to be said separately.

For some reason, Master Saburo always had a bad premonition in his heart. He shook his head to get rid of the uneasiness in his mind, and Master Saburo came to the backyard to pay his respects to his mother, Mrs. Qinchuan.

"Mother." Master Saburo, who is already ten years old, has a figure that is far superior to his peers, and is much stronger. Standing next to Mrs. Qingtongawa, Master Saburo's height is almost the same as Mrs. Qingtongawa's.

"Master Sanlang, come and pray for your father with your mother and grandmother!" Mrs. Qinchuan held a string of Buddhist beads in her right hand and stretched out her left hand to pull Master Sanlang to her side.

On the side, Chang Shandian was still kneeling on a futon and reciting unknown Buddhist scriptures.

Master Saburo didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his mother and grandmother, so he had to kneel down beside Mrs. Kotokawa. At this time, Mrs. Kotokawa took out a copy of Myoho Renge Sutra and placed it in front of Master Saburo. The Kyogoku family

He is a devout disciple of the Lotus Sect, which Master Saburo has long been accustomed to.

"Mother, father, you will be safe and sound, don't worry!" Feeling the slight tremor of Mrs. Qintukawa's body beside him, Master Saburo quickly comforted her.

"Aqin, worship the Buddha sincerely and don't think too much!" A slightly majestic voice sounded from the side, frightening Mrs. Qinchuan to sit up straight and start reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Master Saburo was sometimes very afraid of his old grandmother. It was said that she had killed someone with a knife back then. Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, Master Saburo didn't want to verify it himself.

.......

Uesaka Castle, a small Hirayama Castle, is currently surrounded by more than two thousand Asai family troops, and the number of troops in the city is only seven or eight hundred at full strength.

Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, it was still possible to defend the city in such a cold wind. The Asai family launched three waves of offensives in two days, and they were all easily repelled.

It’s not that the Asai family’s troops are too weak, the main reason is that the combat effectiveness of the peasant soldiers is mediocre, and since they are still attacking the city, their effectiveness is naturally very low. In fact, General Asai Ryo Masakata and the leader of the Amomori family, Umori Suma Sukesada

He had already led the Yumori family's troops to the top of Uesaka Castle, but because the follow-up troops could not keep up, they were finally repelled by Nobumitsu Uesaka in the city.

The Amomori family has always been the most powerful among the people of Kitaomi.

The Yumori family's territory is located in the mountains in the eastern part of Ixiang County. It is mostly barren land. Ordinary farmers usually cannot support themselves just by farming.

Therefore, the farmers of the Yusen family are extremely keen on fighting, because they can get rewards by fighting, and they can also clean the battlefield and pick up some weapons to sell.

Even some farmers would quietly run around the battlefield even if they did not participate in the war. Once they found deserters, they would immediately surround them and kill them.

The folk customs are so fierce, so the fighting strength of the Yusen family's troops is naturally impressive.

However, the Amamori family was poor. One-third of the peasant soldiers did not even have turbans, and the rest of the ashigaru wore tattered belly wraps and turbans. From a distance, they looked no different than beggars.

"Bizen Guards (Asai Ryomasa), I have just led the troops to the Uesaka Castle Tower. Why haven't the follow-up troops followed?" As soon as he returned to the main formation, Amamori Sadji put the pocket on his head.

He stood on the table, looking like he was asking questions.

Despite the fact that Asai Ryomasa has a high reputation in Kitaomi, in fact, Asai Ryomasa is only the leader of Kitaomi's "Kokujin Ikaku", and his subordinates are all independent kokumin, not retainers of the Asai family.

Therefore, in the face of Yumori Teji's question, Asai Ryomasa could only smile and said, "Umori-dono, there is nothing I can do about this matter. The Aguan family's troops in the third formation failed to arrive in time and missed the opportunity to capture the upper level.

I feel very sorry for this good opportunity in Bancheng."

"But today Amomori-den was able to attack Kamisaka Castle Tower, and I believe I can do it tomorrow. How about calming down?" Asai Ryomasa is very prestigious among the people of the country, so I still have to give him this face.

"Since the Bizen Wardian has said so, let's let this matter go. It's just that our military strength just suffered a lot, and I'm afraid we won't be able to participate in the battle tomorrow!"

"Of course, Yusendian is tired..."

Before Asai Ryomasa finished speaking, a detective with the Asai family's three-sheng tortoise-shell flower water chestnut behind his back quickly broke into the formation.

"Report! The Kyogoku family's troops in Kamiheiji City are out!"

"What?" Asai Ryomasa suddenly stood up from his position, then kicked the stool in front of him and threw the military equipment in his hand heavily on the table, "Kyogoku Takahiro actually came out, how brave he is.

Commendable!"

"Has it ever been found out how many troops Kyogoku Takahiro dispatched?" Ryomasa Asai asked loudly through gritted teeth.

The detective replied tremblingly, "Sir... Sir, the exact number of people is unknown, but the preliminary estimate should be more than 1,500!"

"Very good!" Asai Ryomasa said with an angry smile, "It seems that Omi has been stable for too long, and some people have forgotten my existence!"

"Let the front line withdraw, and the Asai training team and Asai Kiyomasa team give up encircling the right side of Uesaka Castle and join the Asai Nomasa team on the left."

"Akanden, you lead the Akan family troops to station in Imahama City as a special force. Once our army engages in battle with Kyogoku Takahiro, you will wait for an opportunity to attack the flanks of the Kyogoku family!"
