It's normal for the people of the Takanashi family to have this idea, Takanashi Masayori's sister is married to Nagao for Jing, and speaking of which, Takanashi Masayori is Nagao Keiho's uncle.

The relationship between the two families is in-law, and before the Takanashi family and the Murakami family made peace, there was also a long-tail family matchmaking.

Takanashi Masayori also tends to hug the thighs of the long-tailed Jinghu, as for the newly rising Ueda Nobukata to maintain a general relationship, now there is a Takeda Harunobu in the south eyeing the tiger, so let Ueda Nobukata block Takeda.

So the Takanashi family sent an envoy, and the messenger told Ueda Nobukata that the Takanashi family knew about the Murakami family, and the Takanashi family didn't want to pay attention to these things.

In the future, the Takanashi family is the Takanashi family, and the Ueda family is the Ueda family.

As for Echigo's reinforcements, when they arrived, he would send someone to inform Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata did not personally come forward to receive the envoy, and it was Ryu Iwasita who received the envoy.

The messenger left after delivering the message, and Ryu Iwasita gave these words to Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata said indifferently: "The Takanashi family is really whimsical, it is estimated that he wants to hug Echigo's thighs, and he is afraid that he will be disappointed." "At this stage, the long-tailed Jinghu abides by his heart and does not like to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, of course you have to be righteous.

At this moment, the 2,000 reinforcements arranged by Nagao Keitora followed the Shinano River to the Shinano border, and Ogasawara accompanied him with his own retainers for a long time, and the leading general was Usami Jomitsu.

This is Usami Dingman's own self-recommendation, and asked Nagao Keitora to see what kind of person Ueda Nobukata is, and what kind of threat he will have to Echigo.

The army went further on, and it was Iiyama Castle, and a few miles past Iiyama Castle was Nakano Township, which was the territory of the in-laws Takanashi family.

At this moment, several cavalrymen appeared in the distance, carrying Ogasawara's flag and Ueda family's flag fingers.

Usami Chosamitsu immediately sent someone to lead them forward.

The leader is Sanada Nobutsuna (the previous text is wrong, the messenger is Iwasita Ryu), Sanada Nobutsuna because of the accumulation of military achievements, Ueda Nobutsuna gave him a letter word, changed to Sanada Nobutsuna.

Usami Joshimitsu saw Sanada Nobutsuna, saw the Rokubun money family crest on his body, and asked, "What is your relationship with Shinano's Sanada Matsune?" ”

Sanada Nobutsuna replied, "If you have seen a Sanada in Kasugayama Castle, that is my father. ”

Usami Dingman looked at Sanada Nobutsuna, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, it's really a tiger father without a dog." You're coming on behalf of Ueda this time? ”

Sanada Nobutsuna handed the box he was carrying to Usami Jomitsu, and Ogasawara arrived just in time.

Usami Dingman is actually sitting opposite Sanada Nobutsuna, the main seat is empty, Ogasawara has arrived for a long time, Usami Dingman pointed to the main seat and said: "Ogasawara Hall has also arrived, just to see together, what Ueda has sent." ”

Ogasawara sat on the throne with a big grin, looked at Sanada Nobutsuna and said, "Oh, then let's see what Ueda sent?" ”

Sanada Yutaka opened the box, revealing the head inside, and said, "A few days ago, the traitor Murakami Yoshikiyoshi stormed Toishi Castle, which was captured by our army.

Suda Mankoku was killed under the castle by our iron cannon general, Yazaki Maki, who shot Echigo's envoy and seriously injured Futaki Futaki. ”

Ogasawara held a fan in his hand for a long time, pointed to the head of Suda Mankoku, and said, "Okay, such a rebellious minister and thief deserve to die." ”

Usami said with a smile: "It's hard work, please put away the head, and I'll send someone to send it to the lord."

By the way, what is the situation of the Murakami family now? Can Ueda still hold on? ”

Sanada Nobutsuna paused and said: "When I came down, Murakami's army had just been defeated, and Murakami Yoshikiyo's whereabouts were unknown. ”

When Ogasawara heard the news for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, hehe! Has Yoshikiyo Murakami fallen to such a point? It's really exciting.

I can't wait to meet Murakami Yoshikiyo, Usami Suruga Mamoru and march quickly, I want to rush to Katsuo Castle now. ”

Usami said with a smile: "Ogasawara Palace, now that the Murakami family has been defeated, our army doesn't have to rush to the road, just to win over the surrounding wealthy families and integrate them, so that they can face the invasion of the Takeda family in the future." ”

Ogasawara frowned slightly for a long time, but fortunately, Usami's attitude was acceptable, and he couldn't say anything.

He could only say: "These countrymen didn't listen to their family's orders before, but now they will listen?" ”

Usami said with a smile: "It's different now, after all, with my father-in-law, I will let them cooperate." ”

Ogasawara has been unhappy for a long time.,What does this mean.,I'm not as good as your Echigo guard? Slap in the face!

Ogasawara's expression stiffened a little for a long time, and he said, "That's it, Usami Suruga Mamoru will summon those wealthy families here, and I'll go to Katsuro Castle to deal with the affairs of the Murakami family." ”

After speaking, he left quickly.

Usami smiled with a smile, did she find that this Shinano guardian heart eye is so small?

Sanada Nobutsuna hurriedly nodded and said, "Retire below." After saying that, he followed the direction that Ogasawara left for a long time.

Usami fumbled his chin and began to think about Ogasawara's long-term attitude, and he remembered that Ogasawara's long-term attitude was very humble at first.

Perhaps it was the rise of Ueda Nobukata in Shinano that caused Ogasawara to change his attitude for a long time? The more Usami Dingmitsu thought about it, the more he felt that the water was very deep.

In this way, Ogasawara led his retainers under the leadership of Sanada Nobutsuna for a long time and went straight to Katsuo Castle, but when he arrived in the area of Zenkoji Temple, he met a ninja sent by Iizuna Nobumoto.

The ninjas immediately rushed to Shallow City with these people.

When Ueda Nobukata received the news, he immediately led a large number of retainers to greet Ogasawara Chotoki.

Ogasawara came to the gate of Asahiyama Castle for a long time, and saw the clean road, the open gate, and the samurai who were kneeling on both sides of the road waiting for him.

His eyes were full of tears, his mood was agitated, and the momentary depression dissipated, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Ueda Nobukata and said, "Nobukata, thanks to you!" ”

Ueda Nobukata replied: "This is all a military fortune entrusted to the lord, and the minister is just at the right time." ”

Ogasawara patted Ueda Nobukata on the shoulder for a long time and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, where is Yoshikiyo Murakami?" I want to see him. ”

Ueda Nobukata replied, "I'm very sorry, my lord, I'm afraid you won't see Murakami Yoshikiyo." ”

"Huh?" Ogasawara was a little puzzled for a while, and looked at the serious Ueda Nobukata, "Why can't you see Murakami Yoshikiyo?" ”

Ueda Nobukata said apologetically: "The minister knows that the lord wants to see the living Murakami Yoshikiyo, but unfortunately Murakami Yoshikiyo died at the hands of the fallen warriors. ”

Ogasawara opened the fan for a long time, blocked his mouth and smiled: "Oh, roar, roar... Murakami Yoshikiyo is so pitiful? It's so pathetic.

It's a good death, if it weren't for him, how could I have fallen to the point of fleeing to Echigo! He actually wanted to collude with Takeda Harunobu, it was really a pity to die, and none of his family members could let go and all of them were executed. ”

Ogasawara's words for a long time made many former ministers of the Murakami family behind Ueda Nobukata raise their heads, and they looked down on this Shinano guardian who could only run away.

Ueda Nobukata said: "My lord, the eldest and second sons of Murakami Yoshikiyo have been killed in battle, and the third man is only three years old now, as for the female dependents..."

Ogasawara waved his hand for a long time and said, "Nobukata, I can promise you everything else, but this matter can't work, the Murakami family must die." After that, let my second son inherit the name of the Murakami family. ”

Ueda Nobukata is unhappy in his heart, what do you mean? Let your son pick peaches? Picked up my Ueda Nobukata letter with you!

He hurriedly said: "The lord still needs to take care of the feelings of the old ministers of the Murakami family." After all, this area is deeply favored by Murakami, and it is not appropriate to kill them all. ”

Ogasawara was a little annoyed and asked, "Could it be that my words of guardianship don't work for you?" ”

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly replied: "How dare you, the lord is angry, and the minister will do it." He was happy in his heart, and this time the matter of killing Murakami's family was pushed to Ogasawara Nagasaki, and he didn't need to do it.

And then what? The old ministers of the Murakami family will definitely resent Ogasawara Nagatoki, even if Ogasawara's son inherits the name of the Murakami family, it is completely an empty shell, and Ueda Nobukata can just set it up directly.

Even if this puppet wants to make trouble, then assassinate it directly, and then push it to the remnants of the Murakami family.

Ogasawara's long-term divine assistance came in time, which made Ueda Nobukata absorb the former ministers of the Murakami family much faster.

Ogasawara was comfortable for a long time because Ueda Nobukata promised to kill the Murakami family, and his attitude towards Ueda Nobukata became pleasant again.

He said: "Xinfang, you have done a good job, and you will also be the county secretary of the small county, I hope you will continue to work hard." ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded and said, "Ha!" The lord and the minister will definitely continue to work hard.

It's just that the lord, the Murakami family and the ministers are fighting, and the inheritance of the Murakami family by Sadaji is still in ruins, and I'm afraid I don't even have the strength to defend Katsumi Castle. ”

Ogasawara frowned for a long time and said, "How can this be? "Although Ogasawara let his son inherit the Murakami family for a long time, he actually wanted to use Murakami's original territory and then counterattack Chikumo-gun.

Ueda Nobukata saw Ogasawara's long-term thoughts, but so what?

He said: "Murakami Yoshikiyo gathered 4,000 troops to attack Toishi Castle, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and was attacked by the ministers at night, and the whole army was annihilated.

Now in the territory of the Murakami family, there will not be many military services to be summoned this year, and if it is forcibly convened, the minister is worried that there will be an outbreak of earth. ”

When Ogasawara heard it for a long time, his face suddenly darkened, and suddenly he looked at Ueda Nobukata just unpleasantly, you will win the battle, what are you doing when you are annihilated? But he also knew that he couldn't say it, so he could only say sullenly: "I know, let's go in first." ”

Ueda Nobukata lowered his head and sneered, and took Ogasawara Nagasaki and his party in.
