Ueda Nobukata got the Ogasawara Art of War, took a cursory look at it, and said to Ogasawara Nagasa, "Thank you father for your help." He must expel Harumobu Takeda as soon as possible and restore the prestige of the Ogasawara family in Shinano. ”

Ogasawara seemed to breathe a sigh of relief for a long time, and took a long breath and said, "Nobukata, the Ogasawara family will be handed over to you." ”

Nobukata Ueda nodded yes, and then left with a smile on his face.

As soon as he left, Ogasawara Nataka walked out of the compartment with an excited face, along with Futaki Shigekichi and other retainers.

Ogasawara said with a low face for a long time: "Ueda Nobukata is a wolf, but his family has fallen into decay to this point, and he has no choice but to compromise!"

Chitaka, as a father, he may not see the time when the Ogasawara family rises in his life, you must remember that you are the descendant of the Ogasawara family. ”

Ogasawara Nagalong paused, "Ha, father, you just have to rest assured." ”

Futaki Shigekichi said: "My lord, although there are only 5,000 stone territory, as long as His Royal Highness the Prince makes a contribution, I think the Ueda Hall will also reward him." ”

Ogasawara had a cold look in his eyes for a long time, but he nodded and said, "Heh! Hibernate first, and when the time comes, you can take back everything that belongs to your family! ”

The next day, Ogasawara told Nagao Keitori about it, and Nagao Keitori agreed to be a witness to the incident.

So under the surprise of everyone, Ueda Nobukata changed his surname, inherited the name of the Ogasawara family, and changed it to Ogasawara Nobukata.

As for the position of Shinano guardian, he still needs to find Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the approval of the imperial court before he can take over.

It is now the 20th year of astronomy, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru as a shogun is still in Omi Province, and in May of last year, the 12th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu passed away at Sakamoto's Jozaiji Temple.

Today, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has moved to Katata, and the following year he moved to Kuchiki. It will not be until the twenty-first year of Astronomical that Ashikaga Yoshiteru reconciles with Miyoshi Chokei, who controls Gyeonggi, and returns to Kyoto, so Ogasawara Nobukata is still a guardian for the time being.

Of course, the changes in Kyoto, Ogasawara was not clear for a long time, and Nagao Keitora only knew a little about it, and only Ogasawara Nobukata knew best.

But he's not in a hurry, anyway, they're all sons-in-law, and they inherited the name of Ogasawara's family, and they are the guardian generation, and the position of guardian is inevitable.

It just so happened that according to the agreement, if he didn't get the position of guarding, he couldn't give Ogasawara Chiyukichi to Ogasawara Chiyuka.

Ogasawara wanted to put pressure on Ogasawara Nobukata over the Roguemar team, but Nobukata was not easy.

He said bluntly: "I am already the adopted son of the Ogasawara family's son-in-law, and I am qualified to inherit the guardian position, if you don't give it to me, I can also get it." ”

Ogasawara had a secret hatred in his heart for a long time, but he didn't know that it was the Shinfang who secretly retaliated against what he said to his retainers last night.

After a long time of helplessness, he put himself in it, so he could only grit his teeth and do it, and immediately sent his retainers to Shinano to recruit the former Ogasawara retainers.

On Nobukata's side, he met with Katsuzaburo Sakanishi, a retainer who had been with Ogasawara Naga, who had assassinated Ogasawara Nagatoki twenty years later.

After Ogasawara lost his territory for a long time, he first took refuge in Echigo Nagao Keitora, and a few years later left Echigo to Ashikaga Yoshiteru in Yamashiro Province and became the shogun's archer.

Soon, the general was assassinated by Miyoshi, and for a long time he had to become a diner of the Miyoshi clan. Later, the Miyoshi clan's territory in Kinai was seized by Oda Nobunaga, and Ogasawara Nacho then annexed the Ashina clan in Aizu, and continued to try to revive it.

In 1582, Sano Sadakei resumed his status as a daimyo, and the following year, when he was preparing to return for a long time, he and his wife were assassinated by Katsuzaburo Sakanishi, a retainer who did not want to endure hardship anymore, ending his life of exile at the age of sixty-eight.

In a long life, there seems to be nothing to describe except the word "through hardships".

In order to take pity on him, "despite his suffering, his will not change", the Tokugawa shogun sealed his descendants in Bunzen Kokura, far away from his old domain, and received 150,000 koku. And the descendants of the long-term descendants have also multiplied there to this day.

Nobugata saw Sakanishi Katsuzaburo and said, "Katsuzaburo, you did a good job, just continue to stay by the side of the Guardian Palace, and I will remember your merits." ”

Sakanishi Katsuzaburo suddenly said: "Ha! Please rest assured, Your Highness, you will always keep an eye on the lord. ”

The letter rewarded him with a bag of money and told him to leave.

The inheritance of Ogasawara's family name is also Ogasawara Akizuki's crooked hit, of course, it must be rewarded.

Not only did he get the Rokudo horse team, but Nobukatashi, who also became the adopted son of the Ogasawara family's son-in-law, left Echigo with triumph and returned to Shinano.

The first thing he did when he returned to Katsura Castle was to spread the news all over the world, and even the hostile Takeda Harunobu sent letters.

After reading the letter, Harunobu Takeda squinted and said, "It's really interesting, this Ogasawara Nobukata is really not simple." ”

Shinyu Oyamada sat down, and now his face was even worse, and he said, "What did Ogasawara think when he was long?" Kansuke, isn't Nagao Jinghu fighting for his own justice?

Ogasawara was definitely not willing for a long time, why did Nagao Jinghu look at it like this? ”

Kansuke Yamamoto nodded to Oyamada Nobuyu: "Koyamada Maki, we don't know what happened to this, but judging from Jinghugong's reaction, this Ogasawara Nobukata may have some means to make Ogasawara do this willingly for a long time." ”

Yuan Huyin said: "So what! When the lord can drive away Ogasawara Naga, he can drive away Ogasawara Nobukata, and this Shinano must be the lord's. ”

Yamamoto Kansuke paused and said, "Pavilion Master, it seems that this year's war is inevitable, and he can't be left too long to integrate the countrymen of Kita-Shinano." ”

Yuan Changyin said: "Isn't there Shimazu Sun Goro Taitada of Akanuma recently, and there is also a night friend Zuo Jincheng sent someone here?" Let them do the internal response and give Ogasawara Nobukata a fatal blow. ”

Takeda Harunobu looked at Kansuke Yamamoto and asked, "Kansuke, what do you say?" ”

Kansuke Yamamoto said, "Pavilion Master, if you attack Kita-Shinano from Chikuma-gun, Saku-gun and Kai will probably be in danger.

Of course, attacking the enemy must be saved, and the minister thought that because he first figured out where Ogasawara Nobukata was focusing on. ”

Yuan Changyin asked, "Then where is the focus of Ogasawara Nobukata?" ”

Yamamoto Kansuke smiled a little weakly: "Well, I only know about this, but the main reason is that Ogasawara Nobukata is very tightly defended."

The owner of the museum, the minister has already gone to see it in person, the front mountain castle is heavily defended, and also, I heard that Mochizuki Castle, which was destroyed in the war, has also been repaired, and from a distance, it is also a strong city.

In addition, Changwa City is also being strengthened, and with the addition of Toshi City, it can be seen that the arc of these four cities is the focus of his defense against his own attack. ”

Rice Fu Huchang said: "Then isn't he afraid that his family will attack North Shinano?" and more subordinate counties and plant counties. ”

Yamamoto Kansuke heard this, "In this case, Ogasawara Nobukata may attack Suwa-gun and Kai, and in this case, the family will have to divide their forces into two ways."

However, once the troops are divided, they may have fallen into his strategy, and Ogasawara Nobukata knows that his troops are insufficient, but why do you want our army to divide them?

There is a possibility that our army will be divided and then broken separately. Another possibility is that he brought in reinforcements.

As far as I know, the only one who can send troops to help Shinano at this time is Echigo's Nagao Keitora. ”

Takeda Harunobu frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the territory of Echigo has not yet been reunified?" ”

Kansuke Yamamoto nodded and said, "Although there is no unification, but it is not far off, Ogasawara Nobukata only asked for a few reinforcements, and it is still okay." ”

Takeda Harunobu asked, "If our army divides up and attacks North Shinano, where will Ogasawara Nobukata engage our army?" ”

Assistant Yamamoto Kan pointed to the map, moved all the way to the area of Kawanaka Island, and pointed to Zenkoji Castle and said, "I'm afraid it's Zenkoji Castle." ”

Kansuke Yamamoto immediately pointed out the fateful place of Nagao Keitora and Takeda Harunobu.

Takeda Harunobu squinted for a moment, and then said with a blazing gaze: "Okay, it deserves to be Kansuke, and it can be seen at once, if Ogasawara Nobukata's reinforcements and the army of the Kitashinano people hold on to Zenkoji Castle, it will be a trouble for the family."

So, Kansuke, you've also investigated the four castles built by Ogasawara Nobukata, which one do you think you're sure to fight? ”

Iitomi Huchang hurriedly said: "My lord, the former mountain castle built by Ogasawara Nobukata is difficult to conquer, and the other three cities are probably the same. ”

Takeda Harunobu looked sideways at Iitomi Huchang and said with a smile: "I know." ”

Yamamoto Kansuke hurriedly answered: "Pavilion Master, the minister has already seen it, the scale of the former mountain castle, Mochizuki Castle and Nagawa castle is the same, only Toishi Castle is still under construction.

However, there was no need for our army to storm one city, and although Ogasawara Nobukata had built four fortified castles, he divided his forces to defend them, and his forces were so scattered that our army only needed to besiege four castles.

Then send someone to win over the people of Kita-Shinano, and as long as the connection between Ogasawara Nobukata and the people of Kita-Shinano is severed, some neutral people will take refuge in us.

As for the die-hards, we can make up rumors and ask them to send troops to support, and then our army ambushes these reinforcements.

Without the people of Kita-Shinano Province threatening our army in the north, when the time comes, our army can trap Ogasawara Nobukata between Ogasawara and Saku-gun. ”

Takeda Harunobu's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Okay, Kansuke, your method is excellent, but it's best to find a way to break his fortified city." ”

Yamamoto Kansuke was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid this is a little difficult, now that Sanada is on the other side, the appearance of the minister is nowhere to hide, and if you go to spy on it, you will be discovered." ”

Takeda Harunobu nodded and said, "I know, I'll do this." ”

Kansuke Yamamoto hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry! ”

Just as the Takeda family was planning Nobukata, Nobukata was discussing things with Sanada Yutaka at Matsuo Castle.

Sanada Yutaka is congratulating Nobukata on becoming the adopted son of the Ogasawara family, after all, the adopted son can also inherit the position of family governor.

Xin Fang was also very happy, and his excitement hadn't passed in the past few days, and he said directly: "Hahaha, Xinglong, in fact, I didn't expect Qiu Yue to be able to make such a decision by Qiuyue." ”

Sanada Yutaka also nodded: "However, my lord, this Changlongyu has a territory of five thousand stones, will it affect the family in the future?" ”

Xin Fang smiled: "Hahaha, I already knew their thoughts, they thought they were in the dark, I was in the light, but I didn't know that I was in the dark, they were in the light." ”

Sanada Yutaka instantly understood what was going on, and said, "So the minister is relieved." ”

Nobugata nodded and asked, "Has there been any movement in the Takeda family recently?" ”

Sanada Yutaka hurriedly said: "My lord, the Takeda family sends out Hosaku extremely frequently, especially the defense line we have built, Maeyama Castle and several other cities, and there are Hosaku who want to enter the city every day. ”

Xin Fang frowned and said: "These four cities are all listed as important military cities, and they are not the last resort of our own people, and we must not let the Takeda family spy on the defense of our own city." ”

Sanada Yutaka nodded solemnly and said, "Ha, the minister will arrange it immediately." ”

The letter asked, "Kotaka, what do you think they have in mind to find out this?" ”

Sanada Yutaka had already thought about this question, so he said: "I'm afraid that Kansuke sent someone to investigate, if it weren't for the minister's own family, he would definitely pretend to be a foot monk or a ronin to check."

It can be seen that the Takeda family has already planned a military strategy, and if Kansuke discovers the shortcomings of this line of defense, then this is the focus of the attack. ”
