Chapter 634 Reflection
As Hosokawa Katsumoto himself said, the news soon reached Ashikaga Yoshimasa's ears, and of course, there was Yamaname Shinto who rushed over with a fierce momentum.
However, in advance, the two of them notified Hosokawa Katsumoto.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa's room was now covered with heavy troops. These soldiers and horses were all Hosokawa Katsumoto's soldiers. Of course, these soldiers and horses were sent to the king and then transferred together.
After Yama Nakakito entered the room, he immediately fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "General!"
Ashikaga Yoshimasa waved his hand and signaled him to stand up, then said: "Yamana Daming, how is the situation now?"
Yama Nakaki Shifeng shook his head and said, "The situation is very unoptimistic. The Ming Dynasty's army is now in Kyoto after all. Once an attack is launched, I guess it will be difficult for me to resist them."
Ashikaga Yoshimasa's face couldn't help but sank slightly. After thinking about it, he said, "So what are you going to do now?"
Yamashiro Shifeng was slightly silent. This issue was indeed a very important issue and a very realistic issue. The Ming army was approaching step by step, and the casualties were very heavy. The most important point was that the Ming army now did not look like it was planning to retreat.
After a silence, Yamashiki Chifeng said: "To be honest, I don't have much military force now, and the Ming Dynasty has added another 100,000 troops, which poses a threat in our eyes. I guess we won't be able to resist for long! And I am ready to live and die with the town at that time!"
A trace of determination to die appeared on Yamana Shifeng's face.
Ashikaga Yoshimasa's face tightened. He was somewhat helpless about this situation.
"But before that, I have something to figure out!"
Yamana Shimoto's words showed a hint of firmness and said, "Is our failure because of the collusion between Hosokawa Katsumoto and the Ming Dynasty!"
Ashikaga Yoshimasato's face darkened again, and he sighed slightly, saying, "I understand this situation, but I wonder if it was a rumor deliberately spread by the enemy?"
"A rumor spread on purpose?"
Yamai Shitomoto sneered slightly and said, "I have actually doubted this point for a long time. Two years ago, they had a little unclear war with the Ming Dynasty. I recently sent someone to investigate and found that Hosokawa Katsumoto gave the Ming Dynasty a large amount of silver as a post-war compensation for the reparation!"
"What?"
Ashikaga Yoshimasaki showed a look of surprise.
Yamai Shitotsu nodded vigorously and said, "Your Excellency General, you are right. They gave up the attack two years ago because they compensated the high amount of money. I think they had already agreed on it two years ago."
After hearing what Yamana Shinto said, Ashikaga Yoshimasa couldn't help but look surprised and said, "Then what is he going to do?"
“Is it necessary to say?”
Yamachi Chifeng said coldly, "It must have been discussed with the Ming Dynasty. While destroying me, you will be replaced by your Excellency General!"
If Yamana Shitotsu is so rude, it will definitely be a big impact for Ashikaga Yoshimasa. His face turned very pale. He sat down and then said: "He shouldn't dare."
"There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Yamana Shifeng was already angry. The more than 100,000 elite soldiers he lost on Kyushu Island were actually caused by this person. Moreover, he had never sent anyone to pay attention to his movements for Hosokawa Katsumoto's protection. This led to the current situation. Yamana Shifeng actually knew that under the powerful offensive of the Ming Dynasty, he had no power to turn the world back. However, he was uneasy and just watched his people die in vain. Even if he died, he would have to drag some people into the water.
After pondering for a moment, Yama Nakaki Katsuki continued: "General, you can think about it carefully. There was no sign of the Ming Dynasty's attack this time. Why did they suddenly launch an attack on us, and they knew our troops and the terrain of the country well. If I guess it was not wrong, it was precisely because of his collusion that we ended up in this situation today!"
"But, what's the benefit for him?"
Ashikaga Yoshimasa asked,.
Yama Nakaki Chifeng smiled coldly and said, "This is not simple. As long as the Ming Dynasty eliminates me, no one in the country can check and balance him. At that time, he can replace you and then become king. From the policies adopted by the Ming Dynasty on Kyushu Island, it can be seen that the condition of their cooperation is to give this Kyushu Island completely to the Ming people! General, you can think about it carefully, is this the truth?"
It was not that Ashikaga Yoshimasa didn't want to think, but that he didn't dare to think. If you think about it, you found that Yama Nakaki Tsubaki was completely true. After a moment of silence, he said: "Then now he sent troops to help the king..."
"He won't be kind!"
Yamashiki Shifeng immediately said, then pointed out the window and said, "The people stationed here are all his troops. The general's every move is under his surveillance. If he really has any evil intentions, then you will be in danger. By then, all my troops will be destroyed by the Ming army. Even if I want to protect the general, there is no way. And now his intentions are very obvious. You can't see that General, you want to replace you!"
Ashikaga Yoshimasa's body trembled.
The room suddenly became quiet. Ashikaga Yoshimasato stared blankly outside the door, the muscles on his face trembled continuously, and his hands holding the teacup could not help but tremble slightly. Yamana Shintozu looked at him quietly, waiting for his reply.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there were many changes on Ashikaga Yoshimasa's face. Finally, he showed a firm expression on his face, and then asked, "So what do you think we should do now?"
Hearing Ashikaga Yoshimasato asks him, Yamana Shitotsu showed a difficult smile on his face and said, "First of all, the Supreme Lord should immediately replace the troops behind the mansion with his own soldiers. In this way, even if Hosokawa Katsumoto has any evil intentions, the Supreme Lord will be able to protect himself!"
"But he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers here!"
Ashikaga Yoshimasa said in a trembling voice, because he had his permission, Hosokawa Katsumoto had already stocked up hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, and he had only 20,000 soldiers, how could he fight against them?
"We can also ask for help!"
Yamana Shimoto said lightly, since Ashikaga Yoshimasa has listened to him, then the next step is possible.
“Seeking help?”
Ashikaga Yoshimasa asked strangely, now in the entire country, Yamana Shinto no longer has troops, and only Hosokawa Katsumoto has the power, so where should we start with this request for help?
Shanming Jifeng smiled faintly and said, "We can ask for help from the Ming Dynasty!"
"Ming Dynasty?"
Ashikaga Yoshimasato was surprised and could not hide his surprise. He never expected that the person who asked for help from Yama Nakaki Shimoto turned out to be the Ming Dynasty.
Yamana Shitotsu nodded very seriously and said, "Yes, it's the Ming Dynasty. Hosokawa Katsumoto wants to replace you, General, so he colluded with the people of the Ming Dynasty. Since he can cooperate with the people of the Ming Dynasty? Why can't we? To put it bluntly, the people of the Ming Dynasty attacked us simply to ask us to bow our heads. As long as we bow our heads, the people of the Ming Dynasty could not find a reason to attack us. In this way, the people of the Ming Dynasty could use the people of the Ming Dynasty to deal with Hosokawa Katsumoto."
"Then aren't we going to stolen the enemy?"
Ashikaga Yoshimasa also knew that this was a big deal.
Yama Nakaki Shito shook his head and said, "God General, this is not a traitor. After we surrender to the Ming people, we have developed secretly. In this way, when the time is ripe, we can regain our territory again. Moreover, do you think Hosokawa Katsumoto will think that the Ming people will not be like? After we eliminate us, their next target is Hosokawa Katsumoto. At that time, our forces will be completely eradicated, and we will not even have a chance to counterattack. And the most important thing is that once they occupy this place, they still need the General to stabilize the country. Therefore, in their eyes, the General is much more important than Hosokawa Katsumoto!"
Despite the splendor of Yamana Shinto's words, Ashikaga Yoshimasa still had no idea yet and waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it!"
"Your Excellency General, there is no time!"
Yama Nakakito immediately said, "I guess Hosokawa Katsumoto is thinking about how to deal with you, Your Excellency General. These rumors must have reached his ears. I also know that Your Excellency General will not give up. Therefore, in order to protect himself, he will definitely take action first. By then, we will be done. Your Excellency General, you must be quick!"
After saying that, Yamai Chifeng knelt on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time!
