Chapter Seventy-Six: Persuasion
The news of Mochizuki Castle's attack on Murakami's family spread within a day, and the roads of Saku-gun were full of cavalry carrying messages, and wealthy clans from all over the country gathered their own troops to defend the castle.
Of course, they also have to detach a part of their forces to respond to the call of the Takeda family and go to Mochizuki Castle to rescue Mochizuki Nobuya and Trust.
Ueda Nobukata and the others saw a large number of teams of various banners moving towards Mochizuki Castle at the head of Komori Castle.
Motoren sent a message, and Iwao Castle also dispatched an army to Mochizuki Castle, and at the same time, several people were heading towards Komori Castle.
Now the outside of the castle is loose and tight, and the night attack last night was too fast, and the people in the city didn't know what was going on, and then they were recruited into the castle tower to be controlled.
However, the messenger of the Takeda family also sent a letter, asking Oi Tadanari to send troops to support Mochizuki Castle.
Oi Tadanari originally thought that Ueda Nobukata would refuse, so he wanted to excuse himself from the beginning.
Ueda Nobukata, disguised as a retainer of the Oi family, proposed to send troops to support Mochizuki Castle, and Oi Tadanari was a little surprised, but in front of the Takeda family messenger, he remained silent.
After the messenger left, Sanada Yutaka, who was also puzzled, immediately asked, "My lord, what does this mean?" ”
Ueda Nobukata smiled: "Just insert a nail in the coalition army, and when the time comes, give the coalition a fatal blow." ”
Oi Tadanari was shocked, at first he just didn't dare to underestimate Ueda Nobukata, but now he felt that Ueda Nobukata had reached the same level as Takeda Harunobu.
Sanada Yutaka nodded and said, "In this case, there are many more means that can be operated, and even the movements of the coalition forces are under our control, and the lord is really far-sighted." ”
Ueda Nobukata smiled reservedly, he ordered Yazaki Heizou next to him to be the general, leading fifty shiki out of battle, and at the same time, there was also a conscription order issued by Oi Tadanari, and he got a team of twenty ashigaru, one hundred and fifty peasants, and more than twenty people to leave Komorijo.
When Oi Yukiyori arrived at Omori Castle, Yazaki Heizo was leading the team of the Omori Oi family to leave, and the banner was also the family crest of the Oi family.
Oi Xingyori looked at the team out of the city and couldn't help but underestimate: "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" What exactly does Chungseong want to do? ”
With such doubts, Oi Yukiyori led his men into Kojuju City.
Guided by a retainer, Oi entered the castle tower, and as soon as he entered, he saw that he was surrounded by dozens of archers.
When the warrior behind him saw this, he immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Lord, go quickly!" The ministers are here for your majesty! ”
"The damn little Zhudajing is so despicable!" Oi Xinglai is also a dead soul, and he can't help but scold.
At the end of the corridor, Oi Tadanari walked out and said, "Okay, Lai Yu, please forgive me for my actions, I was forced to be helpless below." ”
Oi Yukiyori was protected in the middle by several of his subordinates, his face was already much paler, and he roared angrily: "Oi Tadada, is this your hospitality? You villain! ”
Oi Tadashi hurriedly said: "Please forgive me, I will not hurt you in the future, I just hope you put down your weapons and we will have a good talk." ”
When Oi Xinglai heard this, he was really angry and vomited blood, and he was calculated by his relatives that it was like sprinkling salt on his wound, and he was heartbroken.
Oi Yukiyori was furious and scolded: "Oi Tadadari, there is nothing to talk about, even if you kill me, you won't be able to get Iwao Castle!" ”
Ueda Nobukata, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that it was impossible for the angry Oi Yukiyori to have a good conversation with Oi Tadanari, and decided to take matters into his own hands.
However, Sanada Yutaka said: "My lord, if you cause such a misunderstanding now, I'm afraid it's easy to get out of control, so let the minister try it." ”
Ueda Nobukata nodded and handed over the matter of convincing Yukiyori Oi to Sanada Yukitaka.
Sanada Yutaka walked out of the corner of the corridor and shouted, "Okay, please calm down." ”
When Oi Yukiyori heard the voice, he looked at it fixedly, and wondered, "Is Sanada Masada?" Is the Takeda family going to do something to my Iwao Oi family? Why!
I, Oi Yukiyori, have not had any other dissenting intentions since I subdued the Takeda family! Who harmed me? ”
Ueda Nobukata, who was hiding around the corner, couldn't help but be irritable in his heart, for such a drama spirit, he could embarrassingly deduct a three-bedroom house under his feet. He's really going out and explaining.
At this moment, Sanada Yutaka's voice sounded: "I'm afraid that Yoritsuki has misunderstood, and now he is not a retainer of the Takeda family, but actually a retainer of the Murakami family, the lord of Matsuo Castle, Ueda Nobukata." ”
"What?" Oi Yukiyori was so surprised by this information that he couldn't speak, such a thing was too magical, Sanada Yutaka actually took refuge in Murakami, the big enemy.
Of course, strictly speaking, Takeda Harunobu's father, Takeda Shintora, is also an enemy of Sanada Yutaka.
Oi Yukiyori was stunned for a long time, and then he thought of today's letter, and the information that Sanada Yutaka was supposed to be in Matsuo Castle and so on, and he came to a general conclusion.
That is, the Murakami family attacked Oyama and Saku and other places in a big way, and Matsuo Castle had already been breached, and Sanada Yutaka surrendered.
So now these people with bows and arrows are neither the people of Oi Tadanari nor the Takeda family, but the people of the Murakami family.
Oi Yukiyori calmed down before he said, "So what do you want to do?" Want to kill under here? ”
Sanada Yutaka shook his head and said, "Of course not, in fact, we want to take back Saku-gun from the Takeda family, and of course the original territory will still be returned to you."
Only those territories that have been cut off by the countrymen will be collected by my lord and managed on his behalf. ”
Manage on your behalf? It's just a nice thing to say, but Oi Yukiyori doesn't believe that the Murakami family has such a kind heart.
Oi Yukiyori asked, "Now that the Takeda family is powerful, even the Ogasawara Guardian Hall has been driven out of the mansion. Even if Murakami captured Sajiu for a while, he would have been driven away by Takeda. The events of the past two years are still vivid. ”
What Oi Yukiyori said is that after the battle of Uedawara, Murakami took advantage of the situation to enter Saku, but returned with a big defeat.
Sanada Yutaka said: "Okay, it's different now, although the last time the Takeda family was defeated in Uedawara, the loss was not big.
However, the Takeda family suffered a lot of losses in the battle of Toishi Castle, and now they are fighting in Nishishinano and Ogasawara Guardian Hall and Murakami Hall, so they have no time to take care of Higashi Shinano.
This time, my father-in-law is fully prepared to deal with Takeda Harunobu, and I hope that Xing Yoriki can join us.
Of course, my lord will not be embarrassed to do Lai Ji, even if Lai Ji is now in refuge with my lord, the lord will declare to the people outside that you have been defeated by our army and have been captured.
In this way, Yukiyoshi does not have to worry about liquidating Iwao Castle after the Takeda family recaptures Saku. How is it? ”
