Chapter 899 Changes in Kyoto
"How dare people from Miyoshi's family!?" Yoshimoto Imagawa said with an incredulous expression after listening to his subordinates' report.
"Probably because of Miyoshi Changqing's relationship. Without his restraint, it's not surprising that the three of them would do anything. But I didn't expect that they would dare to lead troops straight into Beijing to lay siege to the General's Mansion. "Because of his outstanding performance, Mitsuhide Akechi was promoted by Yoshimoto Imagawa to be the Lord of Akechi Castle after the battle of Mino.
"What's the general situation now?" Oda Nobuna asked Imagawa's subordinates.
"It is said that with the help of Juggernaut Tsukahara Buden, he has led people to escape from Beijing, heading towards Tanba and Wakasa, and seems to have plans to go to sea." Imagawa's subordinates replied.
"Going to sea? Is the general going to give up his identity and spend his life as a commoner from now on?" Shibata Katsuie was surprised.
This kind of practice of abandoning all the prosperity of the past and directly choosing to fall into the quagmire, Shibata Katsuie can't understand it anyway, and can't do it.
"It's not impossible." Akechi Mitsuhide said thoughtfully.
After all, from the very beginning, Ashikaga Yoshiki was the puppet general supported by Miyoshi Changqing. Miyoshi Changqing had to follow Miyoshi Changqing's orders for affairs such as state affairs or other country's guardian arrangements, and if he intervened more, he might be reprimanded by Miyoshi Changqing.
In this way, coupled with the containment of the nobles in Beijing, Guan Bai and other civil officials, his life as a general is really better than that of the guardian of the country.
So it is not impossible to have this kind of broken jar, to give up all the glory directly.
"Then what about us? What should we do now?" the retainer of the Imagawa family asked.
Why are they here now? Is it really to hear information about the changes in Kyoto? No, they were discussing the upcoming arrangements for Shangluo, the arrangement of various vassal states, and the exchange of troops.
After all, Tokimi's last blow hurt too much. Even if Ayukawa helped them afterwards, they could only make them look healthy on the surface. I really want to recover completely, but I can't do without enough nutrition!
However, it just so happens that what the island country lacks the most at this time is all kinds of materials and nutritious food, so even with the current power of the Imagawa family, there is no way to gather enough supplies to restore all these soldiers, and they can only watch their efforts. Lifespan loss, in exchange for current health by losing the upper limit of lifespan.
And this is only a superficial problem, deeper-level psychological problems such as fear of war cannot be solved by Ayukawa's superpowers, so in order to ensure the combat power of the soldiers and the success of the Shangluo plan, Imagawa Yoshimoto also had to slow down his pace of action, and changed the composition of the army in his hands by dispatching troops, so that the soldiers in the rear who had not experienced the Mino battle would replace the soldiers in his hands who were frightened by magic. , to complete the overall defense change.
That's why there are so many things now.
"Don't worry about it, continue to complete your tasks, and wait until all the soldiers have been replaced, then it's not too late to discuss Shangluo." Qin Heqing glanced at Imagawa Yoshimoto who was frowning and meditating, then looked at the others, and spoke on behalf of Imagawa Yoshimoto declared.
Anyway, his identity is not a secret, coupled with various performances in the Battle of Mino, even the most unfamiliar retainers of the Imagawa Army recognized his existence and special identity, so there was no objection or question , nodded, accepted Qin Heqing's arrangement, and continued to complete his task.
"You don't have to worry about things in Kyoto, it will be fine." After the retainers and the Oda family left, Qin Heqing walked up to the back of Imakawa Yoshimoto and sat down, hugging Imagawa Yoshimoto into his arms In his arms, he put one hand from the lapel of the kimono into the clothes, and whispered in Imagawa Yoshimoto's ear.
"How could you do this! It's broad daylight, what if someone sees you?" Yoshimoto Imagawa, who felt something abnormal in his chest, came back to his senses, and looked to the left and right in a panic and said in a false voice.
"Don't worry, I did this after paying attention to the surroundings and confirming that no one was there. Otherwise, I would not have done such a thing. After all, you also want to be majestic." Qin Heqing said with a smile.
"You're smart." After a pause, he said strangely, "However, how can you be sure that there is nothing wrong with the capital?"
"Haven't I told you?"
"What?"
"Matsu Yongxiu among the three good people is also mine, so as long as you act step by step, the positions of Kyoto and the general will be yours sooner or later, I promise." Qin He said calmly.
"What? Song Yongxiu is also yours!" Imakawa Yoshimoto said in shock.
"Of course. Otherwise, why did I run around all over the island?" Qin Heqing said proudly.
"Tell me, besides Matsunaga Hideo, which female daimyo and Jiwu general are yours!" Imakawa Yoshimoto changed his expression twice, then grabbed Qin Heqing's vitals, and asked with a tigerish face.
"That's too much." Qin Heqing said with a smile.
And then there is no concealment, not to mention the moment when the position of the general is about to be decided, there is no need to conceal it again, and slowly dispose of those who have gained or not, whether they have been contracted with a ceremony, or are like Shimadzu Yoshitoshi. Hisashi and Kuroda Kanbei recounted the list of subordinates who had directly agreed verbally.
"You really don't let anyone go." Imakawa Yoshimoto said dissatisfied.
After all, she is also a woman with her own self-esteem and possessiveness, so even if she knows what Qin Heqing's actions are for, she will inevitably feel unhappy and unhappy.
She's not the kind of optimist woman who would let me stay by her side as long as a man still wants me, no matter how many women a man has outside...
"Where is it, I haven't touched Kanosuke Yamanaka from the nun's house in Izumo, the two daughters from the Mori family, and Matsudaira Motoyasu next to you? You know, I also have a bottom line." Qin Heqing Call Qu Dao.
"Hmph, that's only temporary. When they grow up, I don't believe you will remain indifferent to them." Yoshimoto Imakawa snorted coldly, expressing doubts.
"That is also a matter of the future. As for now, I just want to accompany you well." Qin Heqing said softly.
"I'll pick the good ones to say." Imakawa Yoshimoto glanced at his mouth and said.
But having said that, the pressure on Qin Heqing was still relaxed, which made Qin Heqing secretly heave a sigh of relief.
"But there's one more problem."
"What?" Qin Heqing asked in confusion.
"What if your women refuse to accept me as a general, and plan to join forces to attack me after I ascend the throne? At least Shingen of the Takeda family will definitely not approve of me becoming a general, and will definitely trouble me afterwards "Imakawa Yoshimoto said with self-knowledge and worry.
"Simple, then use a duel to solve it."
