After leaving Tatsuki Tennoji, Ueda Nobukata went to take over his house first.

Like him, who has just become a samurai, that is, a low-level samurai, naturally lives in a samurai longhouse in Joshita Town, and when he becomes the head of the Ashigaru group, he will have his own hut.

Of course, Ueda Nobukata felt that he could become one soon, after all, Takeda Harunobu lost to Murakami Yoshikiyo again in Toishi Castle.

Next he had to recruit servants, after all, he couldn't do his own laundry and cooking, these were small things, he still had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't waste time on these things.

For example, a few years later, Murakami Yoshikiyo will go to work under Kenshin Uesugi in a gloomy manner.

So during this time, he must do something to change the outcome of Murakami's defeat, at least to make Murakami Yoshikiyo hold on a little longer.

He thought about it carefully, and now Murakami Yoshikiyo defeated Takeda Shingen, and in history, after that, there were many countrymen and wealthy clans in Shinano who rebelled against Takeda Shingen, and then there was a Toshi collapse!

After that, Takeda Harunobu was much more cautious in dealing with Murakami Yoshikiyo, and sent the "Attack Bomb Zheng" Sanada Yukitaka, and then Murakami Yoshikiyoshi lost.

He sorted out the whole thing, Takeda Harunobu lost both attacks on Murakami Yoshikiyo, and the pacification of Ogasawara and Shinano Westerners, as well as the rebellion of Saku-gun, were victorious.

Perhaps it was the victory in quelling the rebellion that allowed Takeda Harunobu to regain confidence and attack Murakami Yoshikiyoshi again.

At this time, he felt that what he had to do was to sabotage Takeda Harunobu to quell these two rebellions.

However, the Murakami family is not without troubles, the Takanashi family in Takai County and the Murakami family are enemies, but they temporarily formed an alliance because Takeda Harunobu attacked the Murakami family.

Now it is estimated that they are ready to go to war with each other again, which is why Murakami Yoshikiyo did not send troops when the Takeda Army put down the rebellion.

He had to figure out a way to solve it.

Thinking of this, Ueda Nobukata strode out of his house to meet Yoshikiyo Murakami.

Koheirajiro met with Murakami Yoshikiyo on the pretext of offering Itagaki Nobukata's saber.

Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at the sword and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a good sword, Shinkata, are you willing to give it?" ”

Ueda Nobukata bowed his head and said, "Ha, my lord, the minister is willing to sacrifice this treasure sword, only a famous general like the lord is the most suitable to have a treasure sword." ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo has been very happy lately, and he smiled: "So what kind of reward do you want?" ”

Ueda Nobukata was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I hope the lord can send his ministers to Takanashi's house." ”

When Murakami Yoshikiyo heard this request, he didn't understand what Ueda Nobukata meant, and he asked, "Go to Takanashi's house, what are you going to do there?" ”

Ueda Nobukata cheered up and said, "My lord, the Takeda family has defeated Uedawara, and many of the newly subdued people of Minami Shinano and the people of Saku-gun must be unstable, and the people of Saku-gun are also very dissatisfied with the Takeda family and will definitely rebel.

In the next time, the Takeda family will definitely be exhausted in order to quell the civil strife, and the family must not let go of this opportunity!

And the Takanashi family formed an alliance with the Takanashi family because of the invasion of the Takeda family, and then I am afraid that it will be hostile to the Takanashi family, and at this time, the Takanashi family must not be dragged down!

So, my lord, please let your subordinates go to the Takanashi family and convince the head of the Takanashi family! ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo listened to Ueda Nobukata's analysis, nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, yes, you have some insight."

But have you thought about it, the war between the Takanashi family and the main family has been going on for decades, what kind of conditions do you have to say before the Takanashi family agrees? ”

Ueda Nobukata paused: "Therefore, the minister automatically asked Ying to go to the Takanashi family, and the minister was completely sure to persuade the Takanashi family!"

Lord, this is only a temporary alliance, but it will take a long time, and when the main family has repelled the Takeda family, it is not too late to take the Takanashi family with all his might.

After repelling the Takeda family, the lord's reputation will definitely be able to convince those countrymen, so how can the Takanashi family resist the army of their own family? ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at Ueda Nobukata with a determined look, and he felt that he would not lose anything by letting Ueda Nobukata go, so he said, "Okay, then you can go with your family's documents."

Nobukata, I didn't expect you to have such insight, if only you showed up earlier, so that the family would not sit idly by and watch the Takeda family enter Shinano. ”

"Hah!" Ueda Nobukata nodded and said, "My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates have absolute confidence to stop the Takeda family from invading Shinano!" ”

It didn't take long for Ueda Nobukata to get the paperwork from Yoshikiyo Murakami, so that he would at least not be hacked to death when he went to Takanashi's house.

Early the next morning, Ueda Nobukata bought a few rice balls, a few sour plums and dried radish, and then set out on the road.

The Takanashi family lives in Nakanokan (Takanashi Castle) in Nakano Township, Takai-gun, just to the northeast of Zenko-ji Temple.

The distance from Katsumi Castle to Nakanokan is about sixty miles away, and you can walk back and forth in two or three days, not to mention that this time Murakami Yoshikiyo specially gave a horse, which is faster.

Of course, Ueda Nobukata's predecessor didn't ride much of a horse, and he rode carefully all the way, after all, he wasn't very skilled.

After the death of Takanashi Masamori, the Takanashi family fell into civil strife, and the Murakami family also attacked the Takanashi family at this time.

However, with the help of the Zenkoji family, the big benefactor of Zenkoji Temple, and the help of the Echigo Nagao family, the Takanashi family also survived with difficulty.

In the afternoon, Ueda Nobukata arrived in Nakano Township, and when he arrived at Takanashi Castle, he informed his family's name.

At this time, the Takanashi family was ready to make a move after the weather warmed up, and at this time, I heard that Murakami Yoshikiyoshi had sent someone to come, and Takanashi Masayori still had to meet him.

Ueda Nobukata was led by a samurai to the Nakanokan of the Takanashi family and met with Takanashi Masayori.

When Ueda Nobukata saw Takanashi Masayo, he bowed his head and said, "In Shimoda Nobukata, I came to meet His Highness Takanashi on the order of the lord." ”

Takanashi Masayori frowned and said, "I don't know what His Highness Murakami sent you to do?" ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled: "Naturally, it is a continuation of the previous alliance, does His Royal Highness Takanashi think that the family will be at ease after defeating the Takeda family?"

Now that the Takeda family has been defeated, Minami Shinano's side will definitely rebel, and the newly surrendered Saku-gun, as well as the Western Clan and the Ina Ogasawara family, will all oppose the Takeda family. ”

Takanashi sneered, "What else do you want to say?" The Takeda family is now busy quelling the rebellion, what does it have to do with the family? ”

Ueda Nobukata said with a serious expression: "Your Highness Takanashi, do you think that the Takeda Daizen Doctor Hall can't handle them?"

This group of people had already lost to Takeda Daizen once before, and His Highness Takanashi thought they would lose a second time?

His Royal Highness Takanashi, once the Takeda Daizen Daifu Hall quells these rebellions, it will definitely attack Kita-Shinano again at that time, and His Highness thinks that the family can hold out a few attacks?

This time to resist the attack of the Takeda family, the loss is not light, right? If there are many losses, will those countrymen surrender? After all, no one wants to fight a strong enemy. ”
