As soon as they approached, they heard Isshiki Fujicho take the lead in introducing the clan: "Takayama-sama, this is Katsumasa-sama Ikeda, and this is Takayoshi-sama Kyogoku. [Literature]"

Since Kazumi Mitsuken is by the side of the clan at the moment, I am afraid that he has already known that the two of them have returned to the Ashikaga family, so he will not introduce much, but after reporting the names of the two, he will not say more.

"I have admired the two daimyo for a long time, and I have seen two of them in the Lower Gaoshan Clan."

Ikeda Katsumasa and Kyogoku Takayoshi originally thought that a samurai like the Takayama clan who was famous and capable must be a little proud, although the land under their rule was not much different from him, and this reputation was much worse, the other party should not be so polite, but who knew that the other party was so respectful, and did not look down on himself in the slightest, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Originally, they were somewhat reluctant to lead their troops to help, but now they no longer have any emotions.

I heard the two of them hurriedly say: "Lord Gao Shan, this time the three of you came to the lower three, because I thought that Lord Gao Shan would have to face the reinforcements of the Miyoshi family independently, if there is a case, I am afraid it will be a little unbeautiful, so after the three of me discussed, I decided to send the army to help, hoping to help the adults." ”

Although these words are beautiful, they are not because they know that the mountain army of the Dao Dao is strong, and the 1,000 reinforcements of the Miyoshi family are not opponents, so they want to take this opportunity to make some merits.

Moreover, they also thought of one point, that is, this time the lord Shangluo crusaded against the Miyoshi family, although it was with the power of the Oda family, but if the whole strategy, if even the shadow of the Ashikaga family could not be seen, even if the Miyoshi family was successfully driven out of the mountain city, it would not be able to show the power of the shogun's family. [Literature]

So. They will definitely be laughed at by the other daimyo, and if so, how will they control them in the future, so even if the lord does not give any orders to them, they have to send troops to help in the war, which is better than waiting for the lord's order to come before sending troops, which can win the trust of the lord.

However, when they first thought of this, the next words of the clan sect. But it undoubtedly poured cold water on them.

I only heard the clan sect speak: "Thank you for your kindness, but before the arrival of the three adults, more than 1,000 troops of the Miyoshi family have been repulsed, and the main general Nakagawa Qingxiu has also abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the family." Speaking of this, the clan couldn't help but look at Nakagawa Kiyohide.

I saw Nakagawa Qingxiu with the reins, stepped forward, and saluted the three of them. "I have seen three adults in Shimonakagawa Kiyohide, and now I have returned to the Takayama family in Xia, and I am grateful to the lord for not giving up. He was appointed as the general of the ashigaru and led the post of deputy commander of the elite armored cavalry of the personal guard. ”

The three of them, including Isshiki Fujinag, had seen Nakagawa Kiyohide, and when they saw that it was really him, how could they still have half a suspicion. It seems that the Takayama clan has indeed repelled the Miyoshi army, but he has already come here, and if he doesn't even see the shadow of the enemy, he just goes back, it really can't be said. If so. It's better not to come.

However, the Miyoshi family's reinforcements have retreated, and I'm afraid that the Miyoshi family and the Oda family will have a decisive battle imminently, so they shouldn't send reinforcements to come, so where should they go?

Thinking of this, the three of them, including Isshiki Fujinag, had no idea.

But soon they thought about who Takayama-sama was, it was the famous Owari no Kitsune. As long as you can follow him in this battle, then you can not only minimize the loss of your own army. And I'm afraid it's not difficult to make some contributions.

And now the only thing they are worried about is whether the Gaoshan Clan Sect can look at the hundreds of troops under their command. Would you like to take yourself to play?

If Kyogoku Takayoshi and Katsumasa Ikeda don't know much about the Takayama Army, then Isshiki Fujinaga knows it very well. …,

Two days ago, in Takasaki Castle, even if the Takayama army was at an absolute disadvantage in front of Matsunaga's army, they were unwilling to let their own army help in the battle, but only let them make arrows, from this point it can be seen that the Takayama clan did not look down on the military strength of the family at all, and if compared with the military strength of Ikeda and Kyogoku, the military strength of the main family was slightly superior, and the Takayama clan did not even look down on the military strength of the family, so it was even less optimistic about the military strength brought by the other two.

However, if they didn't try, the three of them were a little unwilling, so after the three of them glanced at each other, the head of the Isshiki Fuji, who was most familiar with the Takayama clan, said: "Lord Takayama, you are willing to lead and follow in the lower ranks, and do your best to do your best."

Now that the two families are at war, the Oda family contributes to my lord, and if you don't do your best in the lower ranks, how can you still have the face to stand between heaven and earth, so the three of us are willing to lead the army to help, and everything is subject to the arrangement of the adults, and please make a decision. ”

"Lord Takayama, what Ichishiki-sama said is exactly what the two of us said, and please decide."

The clan first looked at the three of them, and then at the six or seven hundred ashigaru behind the three of them, these hundreds of clan sects couldn't look down on them at all, even if the two hundred banners behind them were much worse than the spear ashigaru under Tanaka Katsusuke's command, not to mention the remaining peasant soldiers who didn't even have armor.

If the banner under his command could barely be used, then the remaining peasant soldiers could be said to be of no use at all, and not only were they useless, but they would only cause trouble to the army, so no matter how sincere they said, the clan would never agree to bring these peasant soldiers to cause trouble.

However, it is not convenient to say it directly, after all, they are also out of good intentions, thinking of this, only to listen to the clan sect Wan Zhuan said: "The land under the rule of the three adults is behind the enemy, if a large number of troops are suddenly dispatched to fight below, in case the territory is unstable, this is all the fault of the clan, so it is not that I disagree, but for the sake of the three adults, and ask the three adults to think twice." ”

Ichishiki Fuji Nagato saw that the clan sect really rejected the request of himself and the other three as he thought, and he knew that the other party was just making excuses, and since he had already guessed what the clan was thinking, he had already thought of countermeasures.

After hearing this, Ichishiki Fujicho did not break it, but said: "What Takayama-sama said is reasonable, in this case, you can let your subordinate Ashigaru return to the territory to guard, and only bring the family flag to follow in the next, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

The clan saw that the three of them must follow him, and they only led two hundred banners, which was barely acceptable, so he didn't shirk anymore, but only heard him speak: "So the clan will thank the three adults first." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
