Chapter 107: The Situation Takes a Sharp Turn (Seeking the First Order)
Murakami Yoshikiyo took his own army to run away for such a big thing, of course, the ninjas arranged by Takeda Harunobu also found out, although the Murakami family also has the service of the Rice Gang, but he doesn't pay much attention to it, Murakami Yoshikiyo is a typical samurai, and he doesn't pay much attention to the first-class ninjas.
When Takeda Harunobu learned that Murakami Yoshikiyo had left suddenly, he immediately noticed that something was wrong inside, and immediately asked the ninjas to investigate.
And Ogasawara has been sitting on wax here for a long time, they got rid of it, and they wanted to just give Murakami Yoshikiyo some eye medicine, but Murakami Yoshikiyo's violent temper directly put the burden on him and stopped doing it.
Ogasawara immediately consulted with his retainers, and finally the retainers decided to send an envoy to canonize Murakami Yoshikiyo as the head of Saku-gun.
Of course, the final decision was made by Ogasawara for a long time, but Ogasawara said for a long time: "At this time, if my guardian still goes back on his word, what prestige is there?"
Even if I run away from Shinano, I won't compromise with Murakami, without my Ogasawara, Takeda's power in Shinano will only become stronger, and then he Murakami Yoshikiyo will flee from Shinano like me! ”
Ogasawara was very resolute for a long time, still admitting that Ueda Nobukata was the county secretary of Saku-gun, and this order was passed on to Takeda Harunobu's desk.
After reading this official document, Takeda Harunobu learned that Oyamada Nobuyi and Iitomi Toramasa were defeated in Saku-gun.
Fortunately, his face was only a little abnormal for a moment, and then he put away the official document and asked the ninjas under his command to hide the matter.
Now that Saku-gun has fallen, and the defense of Kuwajo, the governor of the small prefecture, is not strong, and the defense of Suwa County is acceptable, he understands that he must conquer Nakata Castle as soon as possible.
So Takeda Harunobu mobilized a large army and besieged Zhongta Castle, which had less than a thousand defenders in the city, and was almost broken several times.
The retainers advised Ogasawara to leave, and Ogasawara said at the time that he wanted to live and die with Nakata Castle, but after most of the destruction of Waimaru, he fled to Echigo with his family under the cover of his retainers.
After Takeda Harunobu conquered Nakata Castle, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he only let the army rest for one night, and then hurried to Suwa Prefecture.
As for some of the remnants of Ogasawara, he had no time to deal with it, and then handed it over to Baba Nobubo (Nobuharu) to deal with.
It was only at this time that the retainers learned of the defeat of Shinyu Oyamada in Saku-gun, and the whereabouts of several of them are now unknown.
When the Takeda army arrived in the Shiojiri area, the envoys of Saku-gun happened to meet Takeda Harunobu, and they learned that Oyamada Nobuyumi, Iitomi Toramasa, and Iitomi Genshiro had all been captured.
Ueda Nobukata sent a messenger to tell them that if they wanted to get these three people back, they had to give up the territory of the small county and send a ransom of 10,000 kan.
The retainers all looked at Takeda Harunobu, and Takeda Harunobu did not hesitate at all, and said: "Hahaha, this Ueda Nobufang is nothing more than that, the place in the small county and county, our army can take it if it wants to."
As for what the 10,000 guan money is, compared to Koyamada and Iifu, this is just a trace of floating wealth. And they are rich in food, they are endless wealth. ”
The retainers said, "The lord is so right! ”
"My lord, the minister is willing to be the first to attack Saku-gun!"
"The lord gives the order!"
Although the retainers were very excited, Takeda Harunobu was calm, and he was now rushing back not to attack Saku-gun, but to defend Suwa-gun.
He went back in such a hurry, the soldiers were exhausted, how could he win the Ueda army that was waiting for work.
The more times like this, the more you have to be steady, and once you make a mistake and are defeated by Ueda Nobukata again in Saku-gun, then Ueda Nobukata will completely control Saku-gun.
Takeda Harunobu disregarded the public opinion and immediately asked the army to return to Uehara Castle. He left only part of the army, and the rest of the peasant soldiers were disbanded and went home.
And Ueda Nobukata's side, when he returned to Maeyama Castle at Minamihiro Nin'an, told Ueda Nobukata about the Saku-gun Division, and blurted out on the spot: "It's a bad thing!" ”
Nanguang Ren'an immediately admitted his mistake and said: "Lord, it is his subordinates who failed to handle this matter, please let his subordinates apologize!" ”
Ueda Nobukata calmed down for a moment and said, "Forget it, the lord shouldn't be unfavorable to me because of this matter, but I didn't expect the Ogasawara family to make such a move." ”
He turned to Sanada Yutaka and said, "Let the various departments going south quickly deal with the matter and turn back to the former mountain castle and deal with it." ”
Then he knocked on the floor, and Yuan Lian appeared from the compartment.
He immediately said: "Yuan Lian, immediately send ninjas to Chikuma County and the lord to inquire about the news, and report back immediately if something happens."
When you get there, you can do it cheaply and don't miss any clues! ”
Sanada Yutaka saw that Ueda Nobukata was a little flustered, and said: "Lord, this matter is not all bad, now that the guardian hall has sent all the seals of the county division, it is better to take advantage of this time to subdue the wealthy family of Saku County." ”
Ueda Nobukata thought for a while and said, "The matter has happened, there will always be a way to solve it, and this loss cannot be in vain."
As you said, it just happened that the wealthy clan of Saku County was subdued in the past few days, so it was not a waste of the heart of the guardian temple. ”
The overall situation in Saku-gun has stabilized, and Kakizaki Keijia is still concerned about Echigo, so he found Ueda Nobukata in the hope that he can return to Echigo as soon as possible.
Ueda Nobukata was a little embarrassed: "Kakizaki Palace, I won't tell you the truth, I will never stop you from going before, but now the situation has changed." ”
Kakizaki Keijia frowned and said, "What change, could it be that Takeda Harunobu has defeated Shinano Guardian and Murakami's army?" ”
Ueda Nobukata shook his head and said: "This matter is still caused by the following, and after winning the battle with Oyamada and others, he sent an envoy to Chikuma County to report the victory.
The guardian of the palace was happy to give Saku-gun to the next and let him serve as the county secretary, which may cause dissatisfaction among the lord and make this good situation twists and turns, so before the situation is clear, please wait a few more days. ”
Kakizaki Jingjia frowned and said: "This order to protect the palace, your lord will actually be dissatisfied?" Let's hope nothing big happens. ”
Ueda Nobukata also sighed, and in front of everyone, he took the responsibility for this matter on himself, and bluntly said that he would personally go to the lord and Ogasawara to resign this reward.
Then he stopped at the advice of his retainers and waited for new news.
A day and a night later, Yuanlian sent someone to deliver urgent news, that is, Murakami Yoshikiyo ran away in anger, and the guardian temple fell into isolation and helplessness.
At the same time, there is also a secret letter, that is, Yashiro Masakuni, Kiyono Nobuhide and others are instigating Murakami Yoshikiyo to crusade against Saku-gun and kill the traitors.
Ueda Nobukata had a big headache, and he complained a little in his heart about his pig teammate Ogasawara for a long time.
