In the face of Maori Teruki, who didn't have much of his own thoughts at all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's careful thinking was obviously in vain, and when Maori Terugen put forward the request of the Maori family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could only agree more helplessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Speaking of which, the request of the Mori family is very simple, let Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the name of the shogunate, seal the dragon temple family to protect the three kingdoms of Hizen, Higo, and Chikugo. At the same time, he helped the Mori family persuade the Yamana family of Inaba and Tajima and their allies to become a member of the siege network.

Speaking of the Yamana family, it is quite remarkable, and it is one of the four professional families of the Muromachi shogunate. The so-called four clans were Akamatsu, Yamana, Isshiki, and Kyogoku, and they together with the three clans, Shibo, Hosokawa, and Tayama, formed the core of power of the Muromachi shogunate.

But...... Take a look at the above names, and basically at a glance, you can guess the current predicament of the Yamana family. Honestly, God knows why these high-ranking and powerful names have fallen to this point, haven't they ever produced a single talent? Or are demons like Niko all staring at these daimyos?

Well...... But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable to say this, after all, these seven have almost divided up the whole of Japan, and those demons who want to get ahead, who can they find if they don't aim at them?

At its peak, the Yamana family owned two provinces of San'in and Sanyo plus a total of 11 territories in, and although it was calculated by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in 1437, most of the domains were confiscated after the defeat of the Meitoku Rebellion, but thanks to the efforts of future generations, especially the efforts of Yamana Chitoyo, he once again became the guardian daimyo of the eight countries.

But it is a pity that this is the last glory of the Yamana family, with the rise of the Niko family, the current Yamana family, the country is only left Tajima, Inaba more than 200,000 stones. What is even more tragic is that the Yamana family today has the Mori family who had just taken over the Otomo family to the west, and the powerful Oda family to the east. Surrounded by these two families, you can imagine how anxious life is.

And this is a good opportunity for Maori Yuan, although the strength of the Yamana family is not strong, but no matter how weak it is, it can be used as cannon fodder~ And as a territory next to the Oda family, it can also play a buffer role. At the very least, if the Oda family wants to attack the Mori family, in addition to the waterway, they must first take down the Yamana family that occupies Inaba and Tajima or the Urakami family who occupy Bizen Province.

Well? In this case, Maori Yuan still has to win over the Urakami family? In fact, Ashikaga Yoshiaki thinks the same way. Over the years, he has not made any progress, although he still does not know anything about the marching formation, but in terms of strategy, he knows a little bit about it.

But to his surprise, Mori Terumoto did not mention the words Urakami or even Bizen from beginning to end, as if Sanyo Road had been forgotten by him. But in fact, Maori Huiyuan is also very confused.

"Grandfather, do you want to win over the Uki family?" Mori Terumoto asked in surprise.

"Yes, now the Uki family, under the leadership of its family governor Ukita Naoya, has the momentum to surpass the main Urakami family. And I've read the information about him, and I feel like it's quite like when I was young~" Mao Liyuan explained with a smile.

But if you do that, I'm afraid it will attract the wrath of the Mimura family. As you know, the Mimura family's former governor, Mimura Kinkin, was assassinated by the Ukita family five years ago, and since his son Mimura Motoko succeeded the family governor, he has always hoped that the family would send troops to help him get revenge. In particular, three years ago, Mimura Motokin's defeat to the Ukita Naoya family at Mingzenji Temple made him hate him even more...... "Mori Terumoto said worriedly when he heard this.

He didn't have much thought about uniting Urakami or Ukiga, because the strength of these two was the same thing in his opinion. The only function is the same as that of the Yamana family, which is just a buffer zone. But if it causes the displeasure of the Mimura family for this reason, it will be troublesome. You must know that although the Mimura family was defeated by the Uki family at Mingzen Temple, it is still the most powerful force in China.

If they become dissatisfied or even rebel outright, the Maori family will completely lose control of China.

However, hearing Maori Huiyuan's words, Maori Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "It is precisely because of this that I plan to win over the Yuki family." ”

"This ......" Mori Terumoto looked at his grandfather a little confused, obviously not quite understanding what he meant.

Seeing this, Mori Moto shook his head again, "Terumoto, since the main family defeated Ouchi and Niko, the Mimura family has always been our affiliated family. In the past, we would support him and help him win most of the Bizhong, except that the family did not have the energy to focus on Bizhong for the time being, but also because he was very obedient. But now, the newly succeeded family governor Mimura is no longer so obedient. ”

Throughout the ages, no monarch would like a disobedient and uncontrollable retainer, no matter how many exploits the retainer has created. It's like Oda Yoshinobu, it seems that he seems to be the most detached master of the Oda family, and his prestige is very high, but Oda Nobunaga has never had any bad thoughts.

In addition to the reason of childhood playmates, it is more because of every task that Oda Nobunaga gave to Oda Yoshinobu, and Oda Yoshinobu can complete it very beautifully. And nonsense is nonsense, but in any moment of crisis, Oda Yoshinobu will always stand by Oda Nobunaga's side at the first time.

And after experiencing the incident of the Inoue family, and seeing with his own eyes the two examples of the Shingu Party of the Niko family and Tao Qingxian of the Ouchi family, how could Mori Mototo, let go of the increasingly inflated Mimura Motokin?

Hawkers, of course, Mori Yuan knew that Mimura Moto's relatives and Ukita Nao's family had a grudge against killing their father, but obviously, for Mori Moto, the most important thing now is to defeat the Oda family, which has the momentum to dominate the world, not to help his subordinates go down to take revenge. That's why he ordered Mimura Motojin and Shimizu Soji to prepare for the garrison, and at the same time secretly wooed the Ukita Naoya.

If Mimura Motoko didn't do anything, maybe after defeating the Oda family, Mori Mototo would let Mimura Motoko go to Ukita Naoya to take revenge. But when Mimura Moto-pro secretly tried to sabotage Mori Moto's wooing of the Ukita Naoka, Mori Moto's natural intoleration couldn't bear it.

Hearing Maori Yuan's words, Maori Huiyuan immediately understood, "I see, my grandson understands." He didn't think there was anything wrong with Maori Yuan doing this, in fact, when his father was assassinated, he already understood how to survive in this era.

And Mao Li Huiyuan's calm attitude obviously made Mao Li Yuan very satisfied, and it almost didn't matter if there was a woman's kindness, it would only lead the family to extinction.
