Chapter 346 The General's Last Entrustment
Miyoshi Changyi, Miyoshi Masayasu, and Iwanari Tomotsu, who were completely blinded by the desire for power, seemed to have been crowned generals because of their delusion, and they couldn't wait to get rid of Yoshiki and then had a good time.So after Bao'er, Luo Lang and the other four strong (bēi) assistant (guō) aid (xiá) took their positions, before they even had time to meet them, they sent troops to the capital with the four of them.

And the first meeting between the four of Luo Lang and the three of Miyoshi was actually done in the military tent.In Bao'er's view, the three guys are nothing more than a generation of poor people, not even the three good brothers who were killed by Bao'er before.But what surprised Bao'er the most was that he actually saw Song Yongxiu outside the tent!

Bao'er did not expect that this conspirator, who in his eyes was always greedy for life and afraid of death, would take the initiative to get to the forefront of danger this time.It's just that this guy's current situation seems to be very miserable. As the son-in-law of Sanhao Changqing, he can't even get in the main account of the military camp.

After Song Yongxiu saw Baoer and the others, he took the initiative to greet them with an interpreter.After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides naturally played charades tacitly!

"I don't know, how many people did General Matsunaga bring here this time?"

Song Yongxiu said to Bao'er modestly: "There are only a few major generals in the army, but only a thousand people. It is not as powerful as the Patriarch's [-] troops!"

"Hey! General Matsunaga really underestimated himself too much. Sometimes there are too many people and things don't necessarily work well!"

"But when there are more people, it really makes people feel at ease."

"That's right!" Bao'er nodded and sneered, "Then Imakawa Yoshimoto died in the narrow space of the barrel."

"Oh?" Song Yongxiu asked Bao'er slightly surprised: "This little general still knows about this?"

Bao'er nodded, and said, "I know more about the fact that the Kujo family slaughtered thousands of people from the Miyoshi family in Sakai Port!"

Song Yongxiu was mentioned by Baoer to the pain point of the Miyoshi family, not only did not get angry, but asked Baoer and Luo Lang with a smile: "Do those generals have the same ability and confidence?"

"I don't know if I have this confidence, but..." Bao'er smiled slightly, and asked Matsunaga: "Are you ready, or what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Song Yongxiu suddenly noticed Miyoshi Changyi's subordinates coming out of the tent, and immediately replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, Matsunaga will fully cooperate with you! And the actions of the Patriarch."

"Let's be sure, we can't cheat and play tricks then!"

"That's natural!"

After speaking, Matsunaga Hideo took the interpreter and left here.

It is completely impossible to secretly mobilize an army of more than a thousand people in the Kinki area to avoid everyone's eyes and ears.Therefore, Miyoshi's family did not make any cover-ups for this abnormal troop mobilization, but went north generously.However, the destination they announced was not the Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto, but Akutagawa Castle, which is less than 30 miles away from Kyoto.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshiki is not a fool, how could he believe the poor excuse of the Miyoshi family.But our general has his own troubles - no soldiers!The entire General's Mansion plus the entire force of the Hosokawa family failed to reach 500 people.Even though his senior brother is still assisting him, Bao'er, who can ride a thousand horses, can't get in touch anyway.Even in the dark, Yihui always felt that Bao'er would definitely appear at the most critical moment, but even so, Yihui didn't want to let his subordinates who had followed him for so many years die under the butcher's knife of Miyoshi's family for nothing.

Therefore, Yoshiki issued a death order to the Hosokawa family, requiring the Hosokawa family to move out of Kyoto unconditionally within 2 days.For this reason, the head of the Hosokawa family did not hesitate to offend the general and brought Fujitaka to confront the general in person.

"Because Miyoshi's family is going to be reversed!"

"Impossible!" Patriarch Hosokawa retorted loudly, "Unless Miyoshi's family is crazy, otherwise..."

As for the words after that, Patriarch Hosokawa did not continue, because in his opinion, the Miyoshi Trio has always been a group of lunatics who are brave and foolhardy, but love to fight for power and profit.

"Is their [-] troops coming for you, General?"

Yoshiki nodded helplessly and replied: "I'm afraid it is. Listen to me, take Hosokawa out of the capital, and find a daimyo who can only serve you. You don't have to condescend to be angry in the general's house anymore."

But the two members of Hosokawa's family knelt heavily in front of Yoshiki and told him to withdraw his orders.

"There is no need to hang on the tree of my General's Mansion. After this incident with Miyoshi's family, I will order the permanent dissolution of the Ashikaga General's Mansion no matter whether I live or die!"

"What!" Patriarch Hosokawa was completely shocked by Yihui's words, and he asked Yihui, "Do you know that once your will is spread across the world, then..."

"Then there will be chaos in the world, and a real Warring States chaos!" Yoshiki said without hesitation: "Without the nominal shackles of the Ashikaga Shogunate, daimyos from all over the world will definitely set off a new round of tragic attacks. But I don't want to To hinder the reunification of the world, I even hope to see more and more daimyos and families destroyed in the war, because only in this way, the obstacles to the unification of the world will become smaller and smaller!"

When Hosokawa Fujitaka heard this, he finally realized that the general was influenced by Kujo Yui, but why wasn't he influenced by his unification thoughts?A unified Japan without wars and invasions is indeed desirable.So Hosokawa Fujitaka no longer forced the general, but asked him:

"General, what instructions do you have after my Hosokawa family moves out of Kyoto?"

"Go and serve the Oda family in Owari!" Yoshiki said with a sudden smile.

"Oda Nobunaga?"

"Not bad!" Yoshiki said frankly: "There is a guy who promised me that as long as he supports him, the big fool in Owari will eventually unify Japan and create a brand new country. Not like my ancestors , can only maintain the stability among the various daimyos. Therefore, I choose to trust his judgment, and believe that even if Nobunaga can’t do it, he will force him to do it!”

Hearing what the general said, Hosokawa Fujitaka thought of what Baoer had done in the past. I'm afraid he could really do the thing of driving Nobunaga to work with a whip in his hand.

"Also, I need Mrs. Hosokawa to deliver another letter to Oda Nobunaga!" Saying this, Yoshiki returned to the case, and wrote a few words on the fine washi paper. A big character, and sealed in the heart.Then Yoshiki changed his mind and said: "Give this letter to Nobunaga first. If Nobunaga accepts the conditions in the letter, you can stay at Oda's house. But if he doesn't accept it, then you immediately leave for Kasuga in Musashi country, but the road ahead can only depend on the Hosokawa family themselves."

Hosokawa Fujitaka took the letter from Yoshiki's hand respectfully, and stuffed it into his jacket as if he had found a treasure.After that, he assured Yoshiki: "Fujitaka will definitely hand over the letter to Oda Nobunaga himself." After speaking, he followed Patriarch Hosokawa and left the general's mansion.

"Fujitaka, you..." Patriarch Qingyuan Hosokawa hesitated to speak, and finally asked after hesitating for a long time: "Do you really believe in the general and the 'he' the general is talking about?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka replied with a smile: "Fujitaka has to believe it! Because the hypothesis he put forward is indeed too tempting, too beautiful, and so desirable!"

"Then..." Hosokawa Harumoto breathed a sigh of relief, and explained in a relieved way: "From now on, the rise and fall of Hosokawa's lineage will be left to you, a young man!"

"Master, you!"

"Old man is no longer. From now on, you will be the new governor of my Hosokawa family! After my Hosokawa family safely moves out of the capital, I will hold a handover ceremony for you."

On the second day after Yoshiki confessed to the Hosokawa family, the whole family of Hosokawa began to leave Kyoto in batches, and the female family members took their gold and silver treasures and embarked on the journey under the personal supervision of Harumoto Hosokawa.And Hosokawa Fujitaka took the initiative to invite the Empress, and sold the Hosokawa family's land and mansion to Sakamoto Ryoma in a package, and in such a haste, they sold it at a relatively fair price.

At the same time, Ryoma also provided the Hosokawa family with unexpected logistics services. Although the logistics costs are not cheap, compared to those expensive and large items, they are just a drop in the bucket.It was with Ryoma's assistance that Hosokawa Fujitaka was finally able to take the rest of his men on the road lightly, and quickly caught up with Qingyuan's team and walked towards Owari together.
