Chapter 43: Omitting Shinano
After Ueda Nobukata knew that Sanada Yutaka had sent someone to transfer Kiyono Kiyohide, the whole person became active again, and he began to recall all the things about the Toishi collapse.
At this time, I remembered that the Kiyono family was a pioneer when Takeda Harunobu attacked Toishi Castle, which shows that Kiyono Kiyohide betrayed Murakami Yoshikiyo.
Secondly, during the Battle of Toishi Castle, because Murakami Yoshikiyoshi was dragged in the Kawanakashima area by Takanashi Masayori and could not return to help, Sanada Yutaka once again omitted Suda Mankoku.
The Suda family, like the Kiyono family, betrayed Murakami Yoshikiyo, and there was still a Yayo family left, and the Yayo family was safe and sound this time because they listened to orders under Murakami Yoshikiyo.
However, this time you can get rid of a Kiyono Kiyohide, and at the same time come with a Suda Mankuni, which is really killing three birds with one stone.
If he kills Suda Mankuni, then Yazaki Heizou is still unwilling to die for him?
Ueda Nobukata was a little excited, and he had to think carefully about how to get the most out of it.
The first thing is to grasp the timing, the Kiyono family was returned by Sanada Yutaka before the Battle of Toishi Castle, and the Suda family was returned by the Suda family in the middle of the battle.
The next thing is to figure out why they were successfully tuned by Yutaka Sanada?
This has to talk about the crippled Ogasawara Nagashi, and Takeda Harunobu attacked Toishi Castle only after destroying Ogasawara Nagashi.
At this time, most of Shinano fell into the hands of Takeda Harunobu, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Takeda Harunobu would unify Shinano sooner or later, so some people planned to stand in line early.
The Kiyono family wanted to keep their own territory, so they stood in line in advance and bet the treasure on Takeda Harunobu, as for Suda Mankoku, it was estimated that he saw that Kiyono Kiyohide had been returned to bed, so he didn't insist.
Moreover, Suda Mankoku thought that Haruhara's Sozaemon was not his own work, so he suggested that Murakami Yoshikiyo send troops to capture Matsuo Castle, but as a result, he lost his troops.
Especially after comparing with Ueda Nobukata, Murakami Yoshikiyo doesn't have a good face for Suda Mankuni.
So Suda Mankoku agreed to rebel, which was one of the reasons.
The only one who really rejected Sanada Yutaka's strategy was the Rakuyanji family, who were more supportive of Murakami Yoshikiyo and Takeda Harunobu in the ring.
The Rakuyanji family is divided into small counties and Saku counties, and part of the Zhixing land of small counties and Saku counties was seized by Takeda Harunobu, and many relatives died, which deepened the hatred between the two families.
As for the Yayo family, right under the nose of Murakami Yoshikiyo, he didn't dare to make any big moves.
The Murakami family is about to undergo a big change, and Ueda Nobukata wants to make a fortune in this chaotic situation.
Now he doesn't know how to do it, and he doesn't want to be a city lord in a war, at least he has to be a local samurai.
Ueda Nobukata immediately said to Yuanren: "Go and see the retainers of the family, and all those who have received strangers recently must focus on probing."
Now focus on monitoring the Kiyono family and the Suda family, and be sure to find evidence of their fornication with the Sanada family. ”
Yuan Lian nodded, and soon disappeared into the night.
It was already late at night, and Ueda Nobukata was very hot and dry, and he didn't know if it was because of the hot weather in August or because of the heat in his heart.
At this moment, in Matsuo Castle, Ye Yue once again reported to Sanada Yutaka about the work of some of the Murakami's retainers.
After hearing this, Sanada Yutaka asked her to retreat.
Xiangmu Masachao said: "This Kiyono Kiyohide seems to be hesitating? ”
Sanada Yutaka smiled: "Fortunately, everything was difficult at the beginning, and now this beginning is about to be solved."
Kiyono Kiyohide is one of the three big bosses of the Murakami family, and he has a very high status in the Murakami family, once he takes refuge in us, other people are afraid that their minds will also fluctuate. ”
Xiangmu Changchao said with some regret: "It's a pity, this time we can't follow the lord out of the battle, so we can only stay here and watch." ”
Sanada Yutaka also said with a little pity: "It's a pity, now that Takanashi Masayori is sending troops to Kawanakajima, Murakami Yoshikiyo's energy is involved in Takai-gun."
As for Ogasawara's long side, there aren't many opportunities for him to intervene. I heard that Ogasawara's father-in-law, Nishina Shengneng, has secretly communicated with his family.
The defeat of the Ogasawara family is inevitable, as long as the lord takes Ogasawara for a long time, Kiyono Kiyohide will no longer hesitate and immediately throw himself to us! ”
Soki Masachao asked, "Lucky Takatsu, after returning to the retainers of the Murakami family, don't you need to attack Toishi Castle?" ”
Sanada Yutaka frowned and said: "No, these people, as long as Murakami Yoshikiyo is not defeated, they will not surrender easily, and Toishi Castle must be taken."
However, our last plan failed, and this time, we can only rely on those retainers of the Murakami family who have been returned to sleep to deceive Shicheng into opening an account.
Or the inside should be combined with the outside, or the false command is given, in short, the means are a little more varied. ”
Xiangmu Masachao picked up his wine glass and said, "Haha, with the means of Yutaka Matsuki, the day of capturing Toishi City is not too far away." ”
Sanada Yutaka was not excited, since the last defeat, he calmed down a lot, and he said seriously: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple, that Ueda Nobukata is a person who can't be ignored."
Sogi also remembers, he was the murderer of Sakagaki Temple, and he clearly knew our plan before, so it can be seen that this person is not an ordinary person.
Such a famous general will definitely be reused in the family, but in the Murakami family, he was sent to guard Toishi Castle, and the meaning of this is elusive. ”
Xiangmu Masachao wondered, "Is there any difference in this?" ”
Sanada Yutaka nodded and said, "First, Murakami Yoshikiyo knows the importance of Toishi Castle, so he sent Ueda Nobukata, whom he likes very much, to guard the castle.
The second is that Ueda Nobukata was forced to rush to Toishi Castle, and it is very likely.
According to Ye Yue's careful investigation, Ueda Nobukata did not have much power in Toishi Castle, and most of the decisions were remade by Azuma Kiyotsuna and Yazawa Tsuna.
It can be seen that Ueda Nobukata was probably forced to Toishi Castle by road. ”
Soki Masachao suddenly realized: "I see, since Ueda Nobukata is not doing well at Murakami's house, why don't we go to bed and return him?" ”
Sanada Yutaka shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, there are reasons why it is impossible for Ueda Nobukata and the lord to forgive each other, and a smart person like Ueda Nobukata will definitely be afraid of the lord settling accounts after the autumn."
So it is thankless to convince such a person, so Ueda Nobukata will only go one way to the dark and fight us to the end.
It's a pity that such a famous general with both wisdom and courage finally ended up in defeat and death, which is really sighing! ”
Sanada Yutaka lamented that he was scheming against him, and then began to list his previous connections in Shinano.
He was going to find these people, and when the Takeda family took Nishishinano, these relatives and friends who were attached to the Murakami family would definitely be able to get in touch and become a big help.
Not to mention, Sanada Yukitaka's network is very large, and in Komai Shiraishisai's notes, it is recorded that a year after the Toishi collapse, Sanada Yukitaka captured Toishi Castle in one day without blood. Among them, it is speculated that it was Sanada Yutaka who transferred relatives in the castle and joined forces with him to seize Toishi Castle.
