    "I'm just stating a fact." Kira Yoshishi sat up straight, took out a piece of letter and handed it to Ashikaga Yoshito, and then said: "According to the investigation, the Miyoshi family has 20,000 troops in Shikoku on standby at any time, and they control the Osaka Bay shipping route.  The Anzai family has also become a branch of the Miyoshi family. The Miyoshi family has no worries about sea transportation. In addition, in Kinki, there is the Kawauchi Hatakeyama family controlled by Miyoshi Nagakei's father-in-law Yusa Chokyo. Settsu Province has also just been surrendered, and it has already been controlled.  The Miyoshi family indirectly controls Settsu, Izumi, Kawachi, and Kii, plus the 20,000 troops of the four countries. Sanzhu can raise an army of 40,000 at any time. At this time, we suddenly won a battle and killed ten people.  He Yichen defeated the Miyoshi family's army that captured 18,000 people. What we need more at this time is negotiation, and we can use the momentum of victory to reach peace with the Miyoshi family. " Ashikaga Yoshito looked at this thin piece of paper.  , his face turned green and white for a while, and he clenched the paper in his hand into a ball, "Is there no other way but harmony?" "There is no better way at the moment." Kira Yoshiki replied.  "It's really surprising that the famous general who just defeated the Miyoshi family's 18,000-strong army would say such depressing words!" Hosokawa Harumoto sneered and said: "Since Kira Saheiden doesn't dare to go out, then it's up to me.  Harumoto, please go out for the shogunate! Your Highness, Lord, please wait for the good news about me, Harumoto!" Hosokawa Harumoto got up and left. Before leaving, he also called all the members of the Hosokawa family away. It was said that he was going.  A military meeting was held to discuss the military affairs of sending troops to defeat Ry¨±ji Castle tomorrow. Ashikaga Yoshit¨­ sat motionless with a livid face. There was silence in the Imperial Palace. Everyone was sitting upright and kneeling with solemn expressions. Ashikaga Yoshit¨­ whispered: "  Is it true that Shengryuji Castle cannot be captured? " "Joint warfare is different from siege warfare. The cost of seizing the city by force is too high. Once the city cannot be captured in a short period of time, it will be surrounded by Miyoshi Changqing's army, and it will be too late to retreat by then.  "Yoshitoki Kira is not optimistic about Hosokawa Harumoto's performance at all, and Matsunaga Nagayori is not an idiot. Two thousand elites are guarding Shengryuji Castle, so how can it be possible for Hosokawa Harumoto's three thousand people to take it down.  "Let's wait for news from Ukyo Hosokawa! You've had a hard day, rest early!" Ashikaga Yoshit¨­ stood up and left Ohiroma.  Early the next morning, Hosokawa Harumoto led his 3,000 troops to attack Katsuryuji Castle. Due to the sinister relationship between Hosokawa Harumoto and Kira Yoshiki, the two sides did not share intelligence, so he did not know Matsunaga at all.  Nagarayi once tried to cross the Kamogawa River, but was blocked by the navy and returned without success.  He also didn't know that Ise Sadataka had been escorted to Akutagawa Mountain Castle by Matsunaga Nagayori. The Miyoshi family had clearly learned about the death of Tokawa Ichimoto. Hosokawa Harumoto was going to face the two thousand angry masters of the Miyoshi family.  , what awaits him is definitely not a good result.  Rokkaku Yoshihide gained nothing from this battle, and was content to just watch the epic war as a passer-by without doing anything. By the time he realized what he should do, it was already getting late and the Battle of Nakao Mountain was over. Where could he go?  There were leftovers to share with him, but in the end he could only retreat in despair. All the hard work he had done before was in vain. In the eyes of the world, he was a fool who wasted the opportunity to fight. You can imagine how angry and useless he was.  Not to mention how angry and irritated the two relatives were, Kira Yoshito was already busy here. The two battles resulted in heavy casualties and a large amount of seizures. In order to conduct statistics on combat achievements, a first actual inspection was required, and they were named.  The first contribution of the Fukakusa battle was Naito Masashige. He shot an arrow through the throat of Tokawa Ichino and ended the general of the Miyoshi family. It is not an exaggeration to call it a first contribution.  The second meritorious service was given to Yamazaki Iemasu, the 10th ashigaru general who held on to the end. The second meritorious service was not given to him alone, but to all the Omi samurai who died in the Fukakusa battle. Remember them when representing Kiragi.  merit.  The third level of power is Chujo Tokihide. After the death of Tokawa Ichigo, he immediately organized a large army to defeat several armies of the Miyoshi family. One person beheaded thirty-five levels, including several fierce generals from the Miyoshi family. This time he was the most complete  He defeated the main force of the Miyoshi Army. Without his outstanding performance, the Miyoshi Army would not have surrendered so easily. As a result, he also received the nickname "Oni Nakajo" and his military reputation greatly increased.  According to the calculation of rewards for the above three achievements, Kira Yoshitoki will allocate 5,000 kan at a time as a reward, all as rewards for those who have meritorious service, and another 5,000 kan will be used to compensate the families of the Omi samurai who died in the battle. These samurai fought to the death.  At the last moment, an important foundation was laid for the victory of Fukakusa, and the standard of pension was greatly increased, and no one said much.  Then came the battle of Jishoji Temple and the battle of Nakao Mountain. The Ichiban Shougi was Suzuki Shigeji. He was a member of the temple tribe of the Suzuki Clan of the Mikawa Fengdu. He was famous for his spear skills in the Suzuki Clan. This time he grabbed the Ichiban Shou.  The Mikawa Suzuki family gained a reputation, and the Ichiban gun was Watanabe Takatsuna. He led a charge of 300 men and defeated Miyoshi Choitsu's main formation, forcing him to abandon his plan to defend and escape in embarrassment. It can be said that he made a great contribution.  .  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the way, the 150-man army of Okouchi Zen soldiers delayed Miyoshi's army for half an hour.?Tsunataka, he is the younger brother of Okawachi Motaka. He is twenty-five years old this year. He was often known for his bravery and good fighting skills when he was in Mikawa. He is also a backbone of the Mikawa samurai. As a member of the Okawachi family, he followed Kira Yoshi and on this occasion  Make achievements in battle.  The second effort was given to Kato Kyouaki, who had made great achievements in commanding the grenade corps, and the third effort was to the iron artillery general Takigawa Masushige. The combined power of the two severely shocked the Mikado army, setting the stage for the final victory.  Foundation.  The statistics of the two battles came out, and each person received a reward. Kira Yoshitoki's money bag accumulated from Sakamoto in the past six months was on the verge of bankruptcy. Fortunately, the total number of prisoners captured by the Miyoshi family was 10,000, of whom 10 were  Two thousand people from the Abo tribe led by He Yicun died in the battle, with only a thousand people left.  However, as far as Yoshitoki Kira knew, many of the Shikoku people were killed on the spot by the angry Omi people after they surrendered. Some of them were seriously injured and were mercilessly shot. The actual number of those who sought death was less than 2,000. Settsu  A total of 800 people from the Izumi clan were killed, and 1,200 people were left. The Hatakeyama family's 3,000-strong army was basically fighting without much loss. Except for a few people who escaped with Ise Sadataka, all the Yamashiro clan were captured.  .  In the Battle of Nakao Mountain, Kira's army suffered only a few casualties. In the battle for Jishoji Temple, more than 300 people were killed in the Miyoshi family, and in the Battle of Nakao Mountain, more than 1,500 people were killed, plus one or two killed by Yamasokawa's army.  Hundreds of people, a total of 2,000 people were lost, and nearly 6,000 people were captured, including more than 2,000 people from the four countries and the rest from the Kinki countries.  The most important result of the battle is actually a dead Shihe Yicun and a living Sanhao Changyi. These two kinds of protection are the main gains from these two battles. If done properly, you can get rich rewards. Sanhao Changyi is Sanhao Changqing.  His uncle, his father Nagano Nagano and Miyoshi Nagakei's grandfather Miyoshi Nagahide were the children of the same father. This branch of his family has always followed the Miyoshi clan and made many achievements.  Therefore, after the rise of Miyoshi Changqing, this guy who was much older than Miyoshi Changqing in terms of seniority became a general. However, he was much worse than Shihe Icun, and he did not have the courage to fight to the death.  Thanks to him, the Kira family did not suffer a more serious blow.  After the work was completed, the work was done, the reward was assessed, the captured armor was stored in the treasury, and the Yodogawa people were rewarded. In the evening, the unfortunate news came that Hosokawa Harumoto had forcibly captured two thousand Yamashiro people in the mountain castle.  The 5,000-strong army launched an attack on Shengryuji Castle, but they ran into the Miyoshi family's army, which had nowhere to vent its anger because Shiga Ichitomi was killed in the battle. It is said that it took only a while to defeat the Yamashiro people who had no intention of fighting.  Then, under the fierce attack of Matsunaga Nagayori, the Hosokawa army could no longer maintain its position and began to retreat. Then the retreat turned into a rout. Matsunaga Nagayori chased and killed eight hundred people on the spot.  People, and several members of the Hosokawa family were killed in the battle. According to the information reported by the Hattori family, if Matsunaga Nagayori had not stopped the pursuit for fear that someone would steal the city, I am afraid that all the Hosokawa troops would have been captured, because at that time the Hosokawa troops had been captured.  After catching up to the vicinity of Katsura River, the next step was to swim in the river. ? ¡ª¡ª PS: Thank you to book friends ANDY-zfh, Hell No. 1, Yuwen Xuanfeng, and Heart Floating for your rewards.
