Chapter Eighty-Seven: Yamamoto Who Doesn't Know Life and Death
Although Takeda Harunobu was furious, the surrounding retainers had not lost their minds, and sending troops in cold weather had a painful memory for the Takeda family.
Iitomi Huchang was the first to say: "My lord, even if Sajiu's situation is critical now, we have no way to send troops, besides, Ogasawara and Murakami Yoshikiyo are still thinking about attacking Fukashi Castle." ”
Yuan Changyin said: "My lord, only the northern city of Saku County is lost for the time being, and the Aiki family and Kurosawa family in the south are still there, and our army can still recapture North Saku."
The biggest problem now is to expel Ogasawara for a long time, and I can't let him stay in Shinano anymore, and there are still wealthy families in Anyun County who support Ogasawara for a long time.
After all, the Ogasawara family is the guardian of Shinano, and he still has a lot of influence in Shinano.
Moreover, when our army drove Ogasawara Naga the previous year, and when Sanada Yutaka went to investigate, many people defected. This means that Ogasawara can't stay in Shinano for a long time! ”
Koyamada Nobuyari, who was seriously injured in the battle of Ishishiro Ishiro, also participated in the family meeting, and although his face was pale and his expression was sluggish, he still said, "The lord still organizes the army and takes Ogasawara Nagasashi first." ”
Takeda Harunobu heard that his retainers were almost unanimous in wanting to take action against Ogasawara for a long time, and he had no choice but to back down.
He said: "I understand what everyone means, I will deal with Ogasawara as soon as possible, tell the Nishina family, let them do something, it is best to stop Murakami's support." ”
"My lord, what about the military advisor? He hasn't been seen since last summer. Shinari Oyamada asked suddenly.
Takeda Harunobu was also puzzled: "He told me that he wanted to go to Echigo as an iron cannon merchant to find out what kind of person Nagao Jinghu was."
I also sent someone to look for him, but so far there is no news, and I don't know if he is alive or dead. ”
Kansuke Yamamoto? He underestimated Nagao Keiho, and after he arrived in Echigo, he talked to Nagao Keihu as a root and was a monk.
Of course, the long-tailed Jinghu believed in Bishamen, and he didn't really deal with the Genlaizhong, and when he heard that the monks were doing business, the long-tailed Jinghu instinctively hated it.
After the initial exchange, Nagao Keitora asked Yamamoto Kansuke to go down, but out of knee-jerk action, he sent someone to investigate Yamamoto Kansuke.
Because Yamamoto Kansuke himself is one-eyed and walks lame, it is really easy to recognize, and Nagao Keitora knows that the monk who came to sell the iron cannon is Yamamoto Kansuke.
Nagao Keitora did not outrage and kill, and he couldn't help but wonder about the purpose of Yamamoto Kansuke's coming to Echigo.
Now the Takeda family is attacking Shinano, and once the Takeda family takes Kita-Shinano, they can then fight Kasugayama Castle, and at the same time they can attack Ueno.
Nagao Keitora sensed that Harunobu Takeda might have the intention of attacking Echigo or Echichu.
This is an unforgivable ambition, and Nagao Keiho will definitely not allow Takeda Harunobu to do this, but Echigo and Yohokuzhong and Usami Dingman in Echichu did not submit.
However, the appearance of Kansuke Yamamoto is the one who came to deliver the pillow in a sleepy way.
Nagao Keitora took Kansuke Yamamoto to meet Usami Dingmi, and talked to him about Toishi Castle, and during the discussion, Kansuke Yamamoto unconsciously revealed some flaws.
After that, Nagao Jinghu complained about Takeda Harunobu's insatiable greed and continuous invasion of other people's territories, and then left Yamamoto Kansuke to Usami Dingman.
Usami's family has been wise from generation to generation, and Usami Dingman is known as the first wise general of Echigo country. In order to subdue Usami Dingman, Nagao Jinghu came to visit the road three times.
After the third time, Usami agreed to become a retainer of Nagao Keitora.
Usami Jomitsu died in 1564, and his death was mysterious, but after his death, Usami's family was ruined, and Biwa Castle was deserted.
There are three versions of his death, version 1: Eiroku 5th year (1562), Musashi Ueohara was killed in battle with the Go-Hojo clan.
Version 2: In the seventh year of Eiroku (1564), Usami saw through Nagao Masaki's intention to rebel, and set up a bureau with Lake to kill Nagao Masaki, but accidentally missed and both of them drowned in the lake.
Version 3: In the 8th year of Eiroku (1565), after the death of Nagao Masaki, Usami Seimitsu rebelled on Biwa Island and died in a decisive battle with Uesugi Kenshin. (In the movie "Heaven and Earth", when the two fought a decisive battle in the play, Usami Dingman deliberately lost to his apprentice Kenshin, perhaps because of the screenwriter's deliberate beautification.) )
After the death of Usami Dingmitsu, the entire clan was exiled by Uesugi Kenshin, so more and more people were willing to accept the claim that he had rebelled and died in defeat.
Whether he is loyal or treacherous, no matter which version he dies from, he is a wise master of war and a tragic figure at the same time. After the death of Usami Dingmi, the Usami clan declined, and the Usami clan was exiled by the Uesugi family and was never allowed to return to Echigo.
However, the current Usami Dingmitsu is still loyal, and he found Kansuke Yamamoto and said, "Should I call you Dao Yasu, or Kansuke Yamamoto?" ”
Yamamoto Kansuke was a little surprised, but he still said: "Usamiki said that he laughed, the poor monk is Dao'an, Yamamoto Kansuke has never heard of it." ”
Usami Dingman just smiled and said, "Why do you want to hide it anymore? I heard that there is a one-eyed and lame wise general in the Kai Takeda family, isn't that you?
Hehe, it's useless for you to refute, do you know what the lord means by bringing you to me? ”
Kansuke Yamamoto neither denied his identity as a monk, nor did he admit what Usami Joman said, but simply asked, "I don't know what Nagao Den means?" ”
Usami Dingman just smiled and said, "This is telling me that if Echigo is not unified, then the Takeda family, which is invading Shinano, will soon set its sights on Echigo." ”
Kansuke Yamamoto looked at the smiling Usami Dingman, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, his IQ was suppressed, and he was pulled by the nose of Nagao Keihu the whole time.
He said, "The Long Tail Hall is really unusual. ”
The next day, Nagao Keitori issued an ultimatum to Kansuke Yamamoto, saying that before he went out to deal with the enemy, Kansuke Yamamoto, as a businessman, said that if the hundred iron cannons to be sold to Echigo were not in place, he would be held responsible.
Kansuke Yamamoto only replied that Nagao Keihoo would definitely have a hundred iron cannons delivered, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and when he left, he swore to Takeda Harunobu that he would never sell iron cannons to Nagao Keito.
However, Kansuke Yamamoto soon began to ponder the actions that Nagao Keitora said about going out to fight the enemy.
According to what Usami Dingmitsu said, Nagao Keiho has begun to be afraid of the Takeda family, and Echigo and Yohoku have not surrendered, etc., he has to think about who Nagao Keiho is going to attack, and what is the situation in Shinano after the defeat of Takeda Ishishijo?
