Chapter 54: Seeking Territory
The battle of Toishi Castle made the situation in Shinano extremely chaotic, and originally after the defeat of Takeda Harunobu, he did not let the national nobles of Saku-gun know the news of the defeat.
However, Ueda Nobukata asked the ninja to spread the news of Takeda Harunobu's disastrous defeat at Toishi Castle on the same day, and the people of Saku-gun began to move.
And Ueda Nobukata also married Yuzu Satomi as a concubine, and the news spread to Kai, and the Youzu family lost a lot in the battle of Toishi Castle, and also made war achievements, but if Takeda Harunobu didn't come forward to protect them, they would not be able to stand in the Takeda family.
As for Ogasawara Nagasa, he also got the news later, and immediately returned to Chikuma County with his retainers, co-opted the old department, and seized the castle captured by the Takeda family.
However, when Takeda Harunobu conquered the Ogasawara family's territory, he used Fukashi Castle (Matsumoto Castle) as the main castle in Shinano, with Baba Nobubo as the castle lord.
As one of the famous retainers of the Takeda family, and although the Takeda family was defeated in Toishi Castle, the foundation was still very thick, so Ogasawara couldn't take Fukashi Castle for a long time.
At this time, Ueda Nobukata suggested that Murakami Yoshikiyo send troops to help Ogasawara Nagasagawa get back his old domain, but the Nishina family in Anyun County was watching from the sidelines.
In addition, there are still problems within the Murakami family that have not been solved, and Ogasawara has been on his own for a long time.
Of course, there are also many dangers within the Takeda family, and Kansuke Yamamoto, who is a military advisor, is still nowhere to be found, and Sanada Yutaka, who returns to Matsuo Castle, has to deal not only with Murakami Yoshikiyo, but also with the Kuniren and Hao clans of Kitasaku County, who rebel at any time.
Soki Masatomo couldn't stay in Matsuo Castle either, and he had to go back to preside over his own domain.
Takeda Harunobu was shut up after the Toishi collapse, and when he returned to Suwa, he took refuge in the hot springs and chatted with Komai Takahakusai for only one hour a day.
On the morning of the third day of Suwa, Harumobu Takeda summoned Komai Takahakusai and said to him, "I want you to immediately send a fast horse to the Kofu and ask him to prepare for the next war."
Probably within ten days, General Murakami Yoshikiyo led a large army to attack Shinano, nominally to assist Ogasawara in regaining lost territory for a long time.
If Nakashinano falls into the hands of the enemy at this moment, then the past efforts will be in vain, and by the time the enemy gathers forces and begins to move, it will be too late for us to gather our troops and horses, and if we do not send our reserves to Fukashi Castle before the enemy moves, the situation will be critical.
At the same time, the soldiers who had participated in the campaign were all allowed to recuperate and reassemble new recruits. ”
Of course, the enemy's resistance was to be expected. And Takeda Harunobu also foresaw this and ordered to prepare for an attack.
Takeda Harunobu's prophetic insight impressed Komai Takahakusai, who believed that the thirty-year-old Takeda Harunobu was really a natural god of war.
"I expect to stay in Suwa for two days and return to Kofu on October 6, hoping to complete preparations for sending troops before then. Preferential pensions were given to the families of those who died in this battle. Takeda Harunobu instructed again.
At this time, the gloom of defeat on Takeda Harunobu's face was swept away. He is full of fighting spirit for the new campaign.
He instructed in writing the Baba Minbu of Fukashi Castle to strengthen its defenses, and at the same time sent fast horses to Oprefecture and Saku, instructing them to guard against Murakami's movements.
That night, four days after arriving in Suwa, Harunobu Takeda slept with Koi for the first time.
On Murakami's side, Yoshikiyo Murakami is discussing the betrayal of Kiyohide Kiyono, and of course there are many retainers betraying, all of which have to be dealt with one by one.
Kiyono Kiyohide is not an ordinary retainer, his status in the family is not low, and the strength of Kiyono's family is also good, so there are still many people who intercede for Kiyono Kiyohide.
Ueda Nobukata shouted loudly: "My lord, if you don't pay the price for betraying the family, then as soon as the Takeda family comes, the family will be defeated directly!"
Because betraying my family is nothing at all, and it will be okay to betray next time, this is what everyone thinks in their hearts! Lord, you must strictly put an end to such things! ”
Yashiro Masakuni glared at Ueda Nobukata angrily and scolded, "What are you, is it your turn to discuss this matter?" ”
Ueda Nobukata retorted to the house Daimasa Kokudo: "I am a courtier of the lord below, so I naturally have to think about the Murakami family!" Doesn't Yayo think so as an important minister of the family? ”
"Baba Baba!" Wu Dai Zhengguo was furious and said, "I am an important minister of my family, of course I will think about the lord, it is not your turn to talk nonsense, get out!" ”
"This is the lord to judge!" Ueda Shin headed to Yoshikiyoshi Murakami, who was on the main seat.
Masaoku Yashiro also looked at Yoshikiyo Murakami.
Murakami Yoshikiyo said solemnly: "Betraying the family must pay a price, and it must not be let go easily, if the Kiyono family wants to survive, Kiyono Kiyohide must die."
And the territory of the Kiyono family must be reduced, as the price of betraying the family, this matter does not need to be discussed anymore!
My Murakami family is not thin on them, they actually betrayed their family at this time, and they must not be forgiven! No one can shield them, or they will be punished with the same sin! ”
When Yashiro Masakuni heard Murakami's words, his whole popularity was not light, and he felt that his face was lost.
Murakami Yoshikiyoshi continued: "Shigeyori Terao still occupies Terao Castle now, and the family must send troops to fight and confiscate its territory! There are also Suda Shinzaemon, Takanashi Masaho and others, all of whom will be killed. ”
The Leyan Temple Hikari clan said: "My lord, although the Takeda family is defeated now, it can still organize a large army at any time, and if there is civil strife in the family, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
Murakami Yoshikiyo's face was very ugly, and the Rakuyanji Hikaritsu said his predicament, the situation was so difficult, dealing with these traitors would only miss the fighters brought by the battle of Toishi.
He was very annoyed by this, and immediately let the retainers disperse and left alone.
Ueda Nobukata's eyes lit up, and he felt that the time had come for him to ascend to the sky in one step! He hurriedly went to find Yoshikiyo Murakami.
He immediately said: "Lord, my subordinates don't know whether to say a word or not?" ”
Murakami Yoshikiyo waved his hand and said, "Say it quickly." ”
Ueda Nobukata hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates think that my lord can continue to gather the forces of his family to support Ogasawara Denji.
As for these traitors, they will be left to the ministers of the family, but these cities that have been taken need to be rewarded to those who have taken them. ”
Ueda Nobukata's words surprised everyone present, and of course they were also moved, who didn't want their own territory to be bigger.
Murakami Yoshikiyoshi said: "What is your idea, the retainers don't have any military strength around them, how can you take down those traitors?" ”
Ueda Nobukata smiled: "It's up to the ministers themselves, they will definitely come up with a way." And you can also see how much strength the retainers have hidden. ”
Murakami Yoshikiyo thought about it and felt that it was not a big problem, just as Ueda Nobukata said, look at how much strength the retainers hid.
