Chapter 101: Breaking Point
Ueda Nobukata felt that Nagao Keiho was really overjoyed to be able to send such a heavyweight to him, and he hurriedly said to Kakizaki Keijia: "Kakizaki Kazuki, I didn't expect Nagao Dianhu to send an important minister like you to come to support.
I'm really grateful for this.,Now Saku-gun will be saved.,You can get rid of the cruel rule of the Takeda family.,Nagao Dianshu is really kind-hearted! ”
Ueda Nobukata directly praised the Kakizaki Keijia general Nagao Keihu, saying that the Kakizaki Keijia was in a good mood, and it was not in vain that he rushed all the way to support.
Kakizaki Keijia waved his hand and said: "Hahaha, my Royal Highness believes in Bishamentian, and he has never liked ambitious people like Takeda, so Ueda doesn't have to be polite." ”
Ueda Nobukata said with a smile: "Although I am here in Shinano, I have also heard of some of the ambitions of Nagao Tenako, and I deeply admire Nagao Tenako's ambition to become a pillar of the samurai family and set things right for the shogunate."
The world has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years since the Onin Rebellion, and the shogunate has been in turmoil throughout the country, and the people have been displaced and suffering from war.
In this world, like Nagao Tena, there are not many people who are loyal to the shogunate, and Nagao Tenako's ambition is really admired and willing to follow suit! ”
Kakizaki Keijia is not interested in Nagao Jinghu's ambitions, but the beautiful words that Ueda Nobukata said also made his face light and feel honored.
Kakizaki Jingjia smiled: "Ueda said it well, I think my Royal Highness will take you as a confidant." ”
Of course, Ueda Nobukata is very happy to be Nagao Jinghu's confidant, and when Nagao Jinghu becomes the Kanto Governor, he can command 100,000 soldiers and horses when his power is strong.
In Shinano's land of the four wars, it is better to have a backer.
Later, Sanada Yutaka introduced Takamasa Kawahara, and Ueda Nobukata talked to him, declaring that he would definitely let Yuki reinvigorate the Umino family.
Takamasa Kawahara and others were greatly encouraged, and everyone was very happy.
The last introduction is Musashi Hidetsuna, at the beginning of the name, Ueda Nobukata thought it was a lonely and unknown young general, but Sanada Yutaka mentioned that Musashi Hidetsuna is a master of the new Yin Stream, Ueda Nobukata thought for a while, and then remembered that this is the sword saint Umiizumi Nobutsuna.
Fortunately, Ueda Nobukata has always been enthusiastic and did not let Musashi Hidetsuna have any dissatisfied attitudes.
Ueda Nobukata praised Musashi Hidetsuna: "I didn't expect that the Kanto Governor Hall and Nagano Hall would still be able to send troops to support you, so it's really a trouble for the two Highnesses."
I wonder what happened to the Hojo family? Such a chaotic minister and thief will definitely not end well. ”
Musashi Hidetsuna replied: "Don't talk about the situation in Ueno. ”
When Ueda Nobukata saw this situation, he hurriedly said: "Haha, it's all negligence, this place is not a place to chat, everyone go into the city with you."
I have already prepared a sumptuous meal for you to wash the dust! ”
The group entered the castle under the leadership of Ueda Nobukata, and a thousand horses were also properly placed by Ueda Nobukata.
And a mile away, Hanfu Huchang took a few people to watch the team leave, frowned, and said, "Is Echigo's cavalry so majestic?" It doesn't look worse than my own family. It seems that this battle is going to be considered in the long run. ”
He immediately returned to Nozawa Castle with his men.
Ueda Nobukata gave a banquet to Kakizaki Keijia, Musashi Hidetsuna, and Kawahara Takamasa, and then sent them to rest, and also found a female concubine to send them to entertain.
Then, Ueda Nobukata and Sanada Yutaka found a room alone to communicate.
Ueda Nobukata spat out a mouthful of wine and said, "Kotaka, you've been to see Nagao Jinghugong, how is this person?" ”
Sanada Yutaka said: "Jinghu Gong is really a strange person in the world, the lord Bai Ri said that the house is kind and kind, and Jinghu Gong has a neutral personality and is a very good person." ”
Ueda Nobukata just nodded and didn't give an evaluation, Nagao Jinghu was still very young at this time, and he was still very simple before he was educated by Takeda Harunobu.
Later, he fought twice with Takeda Harunobu, and his retainers rebelled twice and three times, causing Nagao Jinghu to be exhausted, and he was disheartened for a while and left his burden and ran to become a monk alone.
It's not just that the long-tailed Jinghu has a whim, but he also woke up once, and the long-tailed Jinghu after this time can be regarded as a little politically conscious, and after he went back, he asked his retainers to send hostages and strengthened his rule in Echigo.
However, Nagao Keitora made another principled mistake in dealing with Shinano, that is, he took down Shinano's castle, drove away the Takeda family and left it alone, and then was taken back by Takeda, so the Shinano people lost confidence in Echigo, and the wealthy families chose Takeda.
For example, the Takeda family will have a fief after it is laid, or it will be given to the wealthy family who has taken refuge in him, or his own retainers, so that the Takeda family can take root in Shinano.
Ueda Nobukata said with a smile: "This time, the Nagao Hall sent Kakizaki Hall to come, which can be regarded as solving the defect that our side does not have a fierce general. ”
Sanada Yutaka nodded and said, "The lord is planning to fight the enemy in the field?" ”
Ueda Nobukata shook his head and said, "I prefer to defend the city, so the casualties are minimal, but in fact, our army should not confront the Takeda army for too long." ”
Sanada Yutaka nodded and said, "My lord, I met my old friend Kansuke Yamamoto in Kasuga Mountain Castle, who is the military advisor of the Takeda family. When the minister went to Ueno, there was an old friend from the Takeda family, Prime Minister Masatoaki, who sent a letter to the minister, hoping to talk to the minister. After he finished speaking, he looked at Nobukata Amida.
Ueda Nobukata digested it and said in surprise: "Okay, it seems that the breakthrough point of this battle is on you."
The Takeda family felt that Maeyama Castle was difficult to attack, so they wanted you to become an internal response, so they asked Soki Masato to tease you.
Well, so we can take them into our trap and lead them into our trap. Kotaka, what are you going to do? ”
Sanada Yutaka said first: "The minister plans to go to see Aiki on the pretext of delivering the message of Kansuke in Echigo. ”
Ueda Nobukata nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Okay, and then deliberately discovered by me and alienated by me?" Help? ”
Sanada Yutaka raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said, "Lord, if you have a bitter plan, Aiki will be aware of it." ”
As soon as he reminded him like this, Ueda Nobukata remembered that it was they who used a bitter trick to trick Murakami Yoshikiyo into sending troops to Matsuo Castle, and hundreds of people died.
Sanada Yutaka said: "At that time, the minister has his own way to convince Aiki that the minister has been omitted. ”
Ueda Nobukata nodded and didn't ask more, after all, Aiki is a good friend of Sanada Yutaka and must know how to do it, after all, a person like Sanada Yutaka can quickly see the character of others, and then prescribe the right medicine.
The two then discussed more details, such as how to ambush and so on.
The next day, Sanada Yutaka secretly went out of the city, while Ueda Nobukata continued to entertain Kakizaki Keike and others.
Koyamada Shinyu and a few others who were trapped in Nozawa Castle heard that Sanada Yukitaka had come to visit secretly, and their hearts were suddenly happy, but Iitomi Huchang was a little puzzled, but they still had to meet Sanada Yukitaka before making plans.
