Komai Takahakusai faced Ueda Nobukata's tough attitude, and was sent away from Maeyama Castle by Ueda Nobukata without even saying a few words.

Originally, he wanted to go to see how Fanfu Huchang was doing, but now he can only go back to recover first.

Komai Takahakusai came to Kosaka Kannonji Temple, where Takeda Harunobu stayed for the time being, and Suwa Oryōto and Katsuyori also lived here.

When he arrived outside the temple, he was soon led in by Flag to meet Takeda Harunobu.

Harunobu Takeda was chatting with Mrs. Suwa and Shiro when he saw that Komai Takahakusai had returned, so he used this as an excuse to get them to step down.

Because Mrs. Suwa was asking Harunobu Takeda for news about Kansuke Yamamoto, Kansuke Yamamoto would generally come to visit Mrs. Suwa whenever he was free and teach Katsuyori Suwa.

Harunobu Takeda also had the idea of making Kansuke Yamamoto a teacher of Katsuyori Suwa.

So the relationship between Kansuke Yamamoto and Mrs. Suwa is still very good.

There is still no news about Kansuke Yamamoto, and Iitomi Toramasa and others did not pass the news to Takeda Harunobu, resulting in Takeda Harunobu being unable to explain to Mrs. Suwa, so he could only speak vaguely.

The appearance of Komai Takahakusai made Takeda Harunobu find an excuse to get rid of Mrs. Suwa's inquiry, and simply said: "Kansuke still has something to do in Chikumo-gun, and he will be back in a while." ”

Then he let her and Shiro step down.

Takeda Harunobu turned to Komai Takahakusai and asked, "Komai, how are the negotiations with Ueda Nobukata?" ”

Komai Takahakusai bowed his head and said, "Please forgive the lord, the minister was kicked out by Ueda Nobukata before he could say a few more words." ”

Takeda Harunobu's eyes widened, and he sneered: "Hehe, what does he mean by this?" Is he going to blackmail his family with the lives of Iitomi and others? ”

Komai Takahakusai shook his head and said, "My lord, Ueda Nobukata promised to exchange with us, but we must hand over Nagawa Castle before we can bring it back to Oyamada Hall and Genshiro." ”

Takeda Harunobu groaned and said, "Oh, okay, then do as he says, as long as you can let them come back safely."

As for the territory of the small prefecture, what if it was given to Ueda Nobukata, now Murakami is very dissatisfied with his subordinates, maybe we can find an opportunity to unify Shinano! ”

Komai Takahakusai smiled and said, "What the lord said is reasonable! ”

Takeda Harunobu didn't have any ink here, and an order was issued on the same day, preparing to exchange with Ueda Nobukata.

He immediately led 2,000 troops north and reached Changwa City.

The next day, he exchanged with Ueda Nobukata, took the lead in leading the army to withdraw from Nagawa Castle, and put up a position to prevent Ueda Nobukata from raiding.

Ueda Nobukata was also afraid that Takeda Harunobu would play a trick, so he immediately sent Kamizu Kenra into the city to investigate, and secretly Motoren and others also checked it.

Mainly the dark compartment in the room, the tunnel, etc., as well as the water source, etc., were checked one by one.

After determining that Nagawa Castle was in no danger, Ueda Nobukata asked Kenyoshi Kamizu to be the castle representative and lead 500 ashigaru garrisons. Then he sent someone to send Nobuyari Oyamada and Shiro Itomi to the front of the Takeda family.

Nobuyi Koyamada was weak and had been in a coma. Because of the anger and urgency of defeat, coupled with old injuries and palpitations in the melee, he is now in a coma, and if he is not treated, he is estimated to die.

As for Iitomi Genshiro's legs, arms, and shoulders, he was wounded by arrows, and his whole person was tied up, and when he was sent to the front of the battle by the Ashigaru of the Ueda family, he only felt that he was sad and indignant.

Takeda Harunobu came out in person and saw Genichiro Iitomi and Koyamada Shinyu, and saw that Koyamada Shinyu was unconscious, his face was pale, and his expression was cloudy.

Koyamada Nobuyu's attitude towards the Takeda family has always been uncertain, and Takeda Harunobu is very jealous of this, and now Koyamada Shinyu has become like this, and he can't live for a few years.

And his son is only a few years old now, very young, so there is one less factor that affects the stability of the Takeda family.

Takeda Harunobu asked Koyamada Shinyu to be carried in, and asked a doctor to treat him, and at the same time, he also asked people to untie the rope on Iitomi Genshiro's body.

Iitomi Genshiro struggled to kneel on the ground, completely ignoring the wound and bleeding, he paused and said, "Lord, please let your subordinates apologize!" ”

Takeda Harunobu took a fancy to Iitomi Genshiro, he squatted down, patted Iitomi Genshiro's shoulder and said: "Genshiro, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, learn a lesson, and come again."

If a soldier like you is like you and apologizes for the defeat, then wouldn't I have to apologize for the fiasco in Toishi Castle? Genshiro, cheer up. ”

Iitogen Shiro choked up and said, "Lord! The subordinates will definitely take revenge! ”

Takeda Harunobu patted Iitomi Genshiro on the back and nodded: "Well, I'm looking forward to this day, okay, let's go down and recuperate." ”

The two samurai immediately picked up Inatomi Genshiro and sent him to heal.

Subsequently, Komai Takahakusai took 10,000 kan and went to the front of Nagawa Castle accompanied by two samurai and several ashigaru.

On behalf of Ueda Nobukata was Captain Genta Sanada, who had already returned to Echigo with Kakizaki Keiya.

Komai Takahakusai was in a trance for a while when he saw Captain Sanada Gentazaemon, but he quickly recovered his mentality and said, "Here is 10,000 kan money, where is Iitomi?" ”

Captain Sanada Gentazaemon nodded and said, "Komai, please wait." With a wave of his hand, several samurai came over and took the bag of money and counted it.

After several Samurai Banners confirmed, Captain Sanada Gentazaemon turned around and shouted, "Bring Iitomiki out." ”

Soon, several ashichi pushed Iitomi Huchang out and sent it to Komai Takahakusai, and then they quickly retreated into the city with the money and closed the city gate.

Komai Takahakusai and the others did not stay, and immediately returned to the main camp with Iitomi Huchang.

As soon as Iitomi Hushoi saw Takeda Harunobu, he said, "My lord, the minister is ashamed!" ”

Takeda Harunobu waved his hand and said, "This matter has happened, how can we hold you accountable?" It's not a good place to stay for a long time, so let's go back to Suwa first and then make a plan. ”

Takeda Harunobu saw that Ueda Nobukata was holding Nagawa Castle tightly, there was no sign of sending troops, and the surrounding situation had been investigated and cleared, so he slowly withdrew his troops and returned to Suwa.

Ueda Nobukata also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Takeda Harunobu withdrawing his troops.

He didn't let go of Takeda Harunobu for not attacking the small county, he knew that Takeda Harunobu was like a tiger lying on the ground, lowering his body and hiding in the grass to stare at it.

As soon as he showed a flaw, he would pounce on him and take a bite, and then he would retreat and look at him with fierce eyes.

He only asked Kamizu Kenra to hold on to Nagawa Castle, and asked him to send many envoys to investigate the situation on Suwa's side, and once he found out that the Takeda family was attacking in a big way, he immediately burned Nagawa Castle and retreated to Saku-gun.

For Ueda Nobukata, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place now, as long as he keeps his army and money and food, then there is still hope for dealing with the Takeda family.

If he really couldn't do it, he ran to Kitashinano, and then took refuge in Nagao Jinghu to fight the battle of Kawanakajima.

Nagao Keitora stabilized the situation in Kita-Shinano in the first two major wars, but Nagao Keitora had no intention of capturing Kita-Shinano, and withdrew his troops after defeating Takeda.

The wealthy clans of Kita-Shinano, who had lost the protection of the Nagao Jinghu, would be violently beaten by the Takeda family in the days after the heavy snow closed the mountain.

Therefore, the third battle of Kawanakajima was also Takeda Harunobu took advantage of the heavy snow to cover the mountain, and the Echigo reinforcements could not arrive in time to attack Kita-Shinano, and Takeda Harunobu also instigated Nagao Keitor's retainers to rebel.

That is, the rebellion of the retainers caused Nagao Jinghu's heart to collapse, and he ran away alone in anger, but Naoe Jingzuna, Usami Dingman and other old ministers persuaded him to come back, and fought the third battle of Kawanakajima.

The situation is difficult, and Ueda Nobukata has no choice but to make such a plan, as long as he stays useful, he can still turn the tables.

After arranging the affairs of Nagawa Castle, Ueda Nobukata returned to Maeyama Castle, where he prepared to inspect the land in Saku-gun, and then issue his own new policy to collect money and grain at the time of the autumn harvest.

At the same time, the population must be counted, even those sluts such as hunters must be compiled, and as for the music of the city, and the sword hunting order must be suspended.

Anyway, Saku-gun is a war zone, and those merchants who have made war money don't need to look for it themselves, they are like vultures, and they come when they smell it.

Especially those grain merchants, who sell expensive grain, and they have a background of the same sect, Ueda Nobukata does not dare to offend them.

He had no choice but to tell the people of Saku County in advance that he would collect grain at the usual price of 0500 wen and 1 stone.

This is already the price in normal times, and where there is a lot of grain production, it is generally the same stone.

As for the opinions of the temple and the grain merchants, Ueda Nobukata directly ignored them at that time, if they used their power to suppress people, he would break the jar and slaughter this group of bald donkeys, and he could also express his goodwill to Nagao Jinghu, who hated Yizong very much.

After all, there is a version of Longtail Jinghu's father, Changwei Weijing, who is rumored to have died in Yuezhong's Yiyi, which is the revenge of killing his father.

Ueda Nobukata was making preparations here, while Takeda Harunobu asked Iitomi Toramasa about the battle.

After the Takeda army returned to Suwa Uehara Castle, in the evening, Takeda Harunobu took Komai Takahakusai to visit Iitomi Toramasa.

Takeda Harunobu asked, "Iitomi Army, you and I will tell me carefully about the course of this battle." ”

Iitomi Husho immediately talked in detail about the reconnaissance and siege of the castle after he arrived at Nozawa Castle, and talked about it until they transferred Sanada Yutaka here.

And Sanada Yutaka won their trust, mainly two things, one is the news of Kansuke Yamamoto in Echigo, and the other thing is the defense map of the former mountain castle.

Takeda Harunobu looked a little happy, after all, after so long, he finally knew where Kansuke Yamamoto was.

Iitomi Toramasa said a guess from Sanada Yutaka, that is, as long as a hundred iron cannons were sent to Echigo, Kansuke Yamamoto could return.

Takeda Harunobu listened to it and did not say anything.
