After Ogasawara arranged the envoy here, Nagao Keitora also arranged for someone to follow, allowing him to enter the territory of the Murakami family directly from Kita-Shinano.

Murakami Yoshikiyo has been very unhappy recently, and his retainer Ueda Nobukata, who has high hopes, already has the idea of self-reliance, but he is not thin on Ueda Nobukata.

At the beginning, Ueda Nobukata was just a small ashigaru, and he may have been an ashigaru all his life, and it was he, with his discerning eyes, that felt that Ueda Nobukata was a talent, so he was promoted from ashigaru to samurai.

In order to protect Ueda Nobukata, he had a dislike for the three bosses, he paid such a big sacrifice and gave money and food to Ueda Nobukata to attack Saku-gun, but in the end, Ueda Nobukata betrayed him.

Murakami Yoshikiyo thought this because he sent an envoy to Ueda Nobukata to come to Katsuo Castle to report on his work, and handed over half of the territory of Saku County, as well as the territory of the small prefecture.

Ueda Nobukata was going to ignore Murakami Yoshikiyo, so he only let people entertain the messenger, and there was a female concubine who ate and drank, but the envoy just couldn't see Ueda Nobukata, and as for going to Katsuro Castle, it was not enough.

Ueda Nobukata arranged for Hosaku to be in Katsumi Castle, which he bought at a great price, after all, the Murakami family has a Rice Gang Public, and the one in charge of the Rice Gang is in charge, and he guesses that it is the Deura Morikiyo family.

Deura Morikiyo was born in Deura, Sakajo Town, Shinano Kunishina County. The Deura clan is from the Murakami clan and the Murakami clan is a higher level county. The first generation, the second son of Saemon Captain Kiyozen, and the lord of the castle of Kamihira (Deura) in the more senior county.

Now Izuura Morikiyo is still young, and the one who works in front of Murakami Yoshikiyo is Deura Kiyoshi, and the official position is the chief accountant. Commonly known as Saemon Lieutenant.

In 1536, Takeda Shintora besieged Kaijiri Castle, but Izuura Kiyotane and Muroga Mitsushi went to the rescue and repelled the Takeda army outside Kaijiri Castle. In 1538, Nagao Harukei also participated in the battle during the attack of Kita-Shinano. In 1540, when he was not at Kaijiri Castle, the castle was conquered by the army of Takeda Harunobu, who mobilized the people of the country to retake it.

Deura Morikiyo is his second son, the eldest boy is named Deura Kiyomasa, Deura Kiyomasa is now nine years old, and Deura Morikiyo is only five years old now.

The official rank of Depu Shengqing is to defend the horse. After Murakami Yoshikiyo, he served Takeda Harunobu and said that Echigo's decline would continue. Together with Yokotani Yukishige, he is known as the leader of the Azuma-gun ninja group, and he commands the ninjas under his command to achieve battle exploits.

After the "Honnoji Incident" in 1582, he served Sanada Masayuki and guarded Takeyama Castle. Serving Sanada Masayuki and Sanada Nobuyuki, he lived in Iwaki Castle and was appointed as the governor of Iwaki Castle and Azuma-gun. In 1590, he won the Battle of Odawara and the Battle of Ninja Castle.

Ueda Nobukata had come into contact with this Izuura family, which was a typical wealthy family, and he had not recruited it for the time being, and he did not plan to recruit the Deura family until the decline of Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Ueda Nobukata arranged a fine work in Katsumi Castle, and naturally knew that there were many people in Katsumao Castle who wanted to do it to him, so for the sake of his own life, he didn't want to go to Katsumao Castle, anyway, the relationship with Murakami Yoshikiyo was difficult to repair.

Murakami Yoshikiyo was angry here, but as a result, his samurai came together, and the envoys of the Echigo Nagao family and the Ogasawara family came together.

He was angry when he thought of Ogasawara Naga, but he had to meet them when he was accompanied by an envoy from the Nagao family.

Futaki Shigeyoshi walked into Ohiroma proudly, took out a letter and said, "Murakami, this time I came down to convey the order of the guardian lord.

Ueda Nobukata is no longer a retainer of the Murakami family, but a direct minister of Shinano's protection, and he is temporarily Murakami's strength and strength, fighting against the invasion of the Takeda family together. ”

As soon as Shigekichi finished speaking, Kiyono Nobuhide was the first to object: "Shinano guard? Ogasawara Hall has run out of Shinano, do you still want to take care of Shinano's affairs?

Besides, Ueda Nobukata is a traitor of his own family and should be killed, this is a family matter of his own family, and you don't need to take care of it yet! ”

Ermu Shigekichi suddenly said angrily: "Bastard, this is an order to protect the temple, do you dare to disobey!" ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo only felt a burst of fire, and said coldly: "I will handle the family affairs of my own family, and I don't need Ogasawara Hall to worry about it!" ”

Futaki Shigekichi was indignant and said, "Murakami, are you going to be a rebellious minister and thief?" ”

During the banquet, most of the people snorted coldly and glared at Ermu Shigekichi.

At this time, the Echigo envoy spoke: "Murakami, after all, Ogasawara is the guardian of Shinano, and as Shinano's courtier, you should obey the orders of the guardian of the temple."

This is not only the proper etiquette between the monarch and the minister, but also the fact that my lord agreed to Ogasawara Teno's request to help him restore Shinano. ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo's color suddenly changed, and he asked, "What's the matter, is Nagaoden going to meddle in Shinano's affairs?" ”

The envoy did not answer directly, but said: "My lord has a great righteousness in his heart, and he can't see the rebellious ministers and thieves, and he didn't send troops to Shinano to help Ogasawara Deen expel Takeda, and he didn't get Ogasawara En's permission.

Now, Ogasawara Hall has come to my house and asked the lord to send troops to help, and it is reasonable, and the lord of my family will not refuse. ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo is very annoyed, he is now facing both the Takeda family and the traitor Ueda Nobukata, if he adds the Nagao family, he will be finished immediately.

He was silent, his face dark and terrible.

Futaki Shigeyoshi said coldly: "Murakami, hurry up, otherwise the new and old accounts will be settled together!" ”

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi said expressionlessly: "Rong Ben's family will discuss it." ”

Futaki Shigekichi snorted very arrogantly, looked around, and then left with his head held high.

The Echigo envoy did not say much, and went out.

As soon as they left, Kiyono Nobuhide was the first to say, "Lord, you can't agree to such a thing!" His Ogasawara is just a lost dog.

It's just a tiger skin with a long tail of Echigo, a fox and a fake tiger, it's really not good, the lord also took refuge in the Takeda family, and first destroyed the traitor Ueda Nobukata! ”

The Leyan Temple Light Clan frowned and said, "Shin Xiuyu, what nonsense are you talking about, how can the lord surrender to Takeda!" ”

Yashiro Masakoku answered: "What about cooperation? Temporarily united, presumably the Takeda family will be happy. ”

Cooperate? Murakami Yoshikiyo suddenly came to his senses, and he cooperated with Takeda Shintora to invade Oyama and Saku.

He said: "Yes, you can cooperate with the Takeda family, the family will take the small county and Saku county to Takeda, and the kid will definitely agree to it." ”

Kiyono Nobuhide glanced at Yashiro Masakuni suspiciously, and then lowered his head helplessly.

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi immediately asked Yashiro Masakuni to secretly send an envoy to Takeda's house to contact, and at the same time sent someone to drag Futaki Shigekichi and others.

However, this matter was heard by the details arranged by Ueda Nobukata, and he sent someone to Saku-gun that night.

The letter soon reached Ueda Nobukata's hands, and after he read it, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and secretly scolded Ogasawara for being a pig teammate for actually forcing Murakami Yoshikiyo to Takeda's side.

He's fine in Echigo, but he's miserable, and in the face of Murakami's Takeda team-up attack, he's sure to lose.

Ueda Nobukata stood up in a hurry and walked around the room, and Sanada Yukitaka, a counselor beside him, went to Echigo, and he had no subordinates to discuss.

He could only write a letter first, let people speed up the delivery to Echigo, and on the other side, he also sent people to keep an eye on Takeda's side, and the most important thing was to get evidence of Murakami's connection with Takeda.

Although Ueda Nobukata panicked at first, after calming down, he thought that this was an opportunity, a great opportunity to kill Murakami Yoshikiyo, and there was no negative impact.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately sent Ryu Iwasita to lead a reserve team to secretly infiltrate Matsuo Castle, which was still in the hands of Ueda Nobukata and was making paper.

And across from Matsuo Castle is Toishi Castle, where Yamada Kunimasa is the castle and is assisted by my wife Kiyotsuna.

He decided to learn Sanada Yutaka's methods, buy the people in Toishi Castle, and then the old routine, opening the city gate in the middle of the night to raid.

But before that, I had to convince Takanaga Tsuneta that with his assistance, it would be easier to break through Toishi Castle. But this has to be done by Sanada Yutaka, after all, he is an older brother.
