In August, news came from the north that Takeda Harunobu sent people to build a new castle on the west side of Hanihara Castle, called Murai Castle, and to the north of Hanihara Castle was Hayashijo, which was Ogasawara's long-term residence.

This was Takeda Harunobu preparing for the attack on the Ogasawara family, and the people who learned the news were greatly excited.

As for Ogasawara who confronted Nishimaki Nobuchi and the three village chiefs, he was very uncomfortable, and a village castle imprisoned his forces in Kitatsukuma County.

As for Minamitsukumo-gun, it was the Kiso family, but now even Ina County has been cut off by Takeda Harunobu, and the family is panicking.

Compared to his retainers, Ogasawara didn't feel good for a long time, but now that he was being attacked back and forth, if he couldn't think of a way, he had to run away in a gray way.

He originally wanted to help him from his father-in-law, Nishina Moriaki, in Anyun-gun, but there has not been much movement on Anyun-gun's side, which made Ogasawara know for a long time that his father-in-law also wanted to betray him.

Just when Ogasawara was anxious for a long time, the Murakami family was already arguing.

In the Ohiroma of the Murakami Residence in Katsumao Castle, Murakami Yoshikiyoshi is holding a military meeting, and he can't sit still after learning the news that Takeda Harunobu is building Murai Castle in Chikuma County.

He immediately summoned his courtiers to discuss the matter, but the problem was that the Takanashi family was still threatening the northern side of the Murakami family, which made Murakami Yoshikiyo very distressed.

But Murakami Yoshikiyo had to intervene on Ogasawara's side, mainly because Yazaki Heizou's persuasion worked.

Ueda Nobukata got the news in advance, so he discussed it with Yazaki Heizou, and then sent him to persuade Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Murakami Yoshikiyo was said to be moved, so there was today's scene.

Yadai Masakuni was a little angry and said: "My lord, just relying on our Yadai family, there is no way to contain the Takanashi family!" Such a thing is really difficult for the minister to accept.

Besides, is there any benefit for us to help the Ogasawara Guardian Temple? Helped the Ogasawara Guardian Hall drive away Harunobu Takeda, but what happened after that? We'll be kicked out too! ”

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi frowned and said: "I know these circumstances, but I must not watch Takeda Harunobu take Kitazukima County, if the Ogasawara family is defeated, most of Shinano will be Takeda Harunobu's!"

So, how much longer can we last? Do you want to watch your family surrounded by the Takeda family?

Of course, the family helped Ogasawara to protect the temple, it was not for free, his situation was more dangerous than ours, and the Nishina family in Anyun County had not moved, so it can be seen that the Nishina family had already turned their hearts to Takeda Haruno.

The only one who can help the Ogasawara Guardian Hall is our Murakami family, and when the time comes, we put forward some conditions, and the Ogasawara Guardian Hall will also agree! ”

The old foxes in the field are all unprofitable people who can't afford to be early, and now Murakami Yoshikiyo has moved out the cake, and everyone wants to eat a bite on it.

Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at Yashiro Masakuni and said, "You have a very difficult task to contain the Takanashi family, and I will not treat you badly." ”

Yashiro Masakoku looked at the others and found that the eyes in them were hot, of course, it was not liking, but his answer was about their vital interests.

Yadai Masakuni was a little angry, but he didn't want to make something angry at home, so he immediately agreed to Murakami's request.

After all, if he was unlucky enough to attract the attention of Takanashi Masayo, others could eat a handful of fat at Ogasawara Naga.

Yashiro Masakuni got it done, and Murakami Yoshikiyo said, "The next thing is to talk to the Ogasawara family." This matter is very important, so it will be handed over to the Hikari clan. ”

The Leyanji Hikari didn't expect this task to be handed over to him, which made him a little surprised.

In fact, this was all what Yazaki Heizou secretly told Murakami Yoshikiyo, and first asked Murakami Yoshikiyoshi to propose that the Yayo family drag Takanashi Masayori.

Once Yashiro Masakuni opposes it, then throw Ogasawara's long-term cake, and in this way, Yashiro Masakuni will have to die down.

The next thing is to negotiate with the Ogasawara family, among the three big guys, Kiyono Kiyohide already has signs of betrayal, so naturally he can't be allowed to go.

Of course, Yazaki Heizou didn't know about Kiyono Kiyohide's problem, he just proposed to let Rakuyanji Mitsushi go.

So the task came to the Leyan Temple Hikari clan.

In this way, not only did the Murakami family help the Ogasawara family, but also achieved the goal of Ueda Nobukata to divide the three major bosses.

Now, both Masaoku Yashiro and Kiyohide Kiyono are dissatisfied with Yoshikiyo Murakami, and Mitsushi Rakuwaji is only a little conflicted with Ueda Nobukata, which is not a big problem.

In this way, the alliance of the three big guys is gone, Yashiro Masakuni and Kiyono Kiyohide are a group, and Murakami Yoshikiyo and Rakuyanji Hikari are a group.

Yazaki Heizou returned to Toishi Castle with news of his family's arrangements.

After listening to Yazaki Heizou's story, Ueda Nobukata was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Heizo did a good job!" ”

Yazaki Heizou was embarrassed and said: "Ueda Maki is joking, I just passed on a word in the next place, this should have been Ueda's honor." ”

Ueda Nobukata waved his hand and said, "Hahaha, it's all for the sake of the family's martial arts, and this little thing is not worth mentioning." ”

Iwashita Kiyoshi looked at Ueda Nobukata with great respect and said, "Ueda Kiyoshi is a role model to learn from!" ”

Iwashita said, "Shinkata, what should we do next?" ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded and said, "Actually, our situation here still depends on the situation in Kitazukima County. ”

"How?" As soon as Iwasita Nakata heard that Ueda Nobukata was not rehashing old things, but was about to come up with new ideas, he immediately became interested.

Ueda Nobukata said with a smile: "The matter of Kitazukimo-gun is related to the current situation in Shinano, and Takeda Harunobu had a large-scale turmoil before because of the defeat of the Uedawara battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the family was pinned down by Takanashi Masayori and the defeat of the Ogasawara Guardian Hall in the Shiojiri Battle, Takeda Harunobu would not have stabilized the situation so quickly and quickly pacified Saku-gun.

Therefore, if Takeda Harunobu takes Kitazukimo-gun and defeats the Ogasawara Guardian Temple, then Takeda Harunobu will occupy most of Shinano.

At that time, I am afraid that only the main family and the Takanashi family will remain, as well as the wealthy family of Kamitakai County, which is backed by Echigo.

I might as well tell you that recently, a ninja from the Takeda family has been in contact with the important ministers of the family. A lot of people are waiting and watching.

Once Takeda Harunobu wins, these retainers who are watching may be returned by the Takeda family. ”

"Ahh It's so damning! Iwashita Kiyoshi was still young, and when he heard such a thing, he instantly scolded.

As for Iwasita Middle School, he is old and has never seen anything, but he is also uncomfortable with the appearance of traitors to important ministers in his family.

As for Yazaki Heizou, he asked, "Does Ueda know who will be returned?" ”

Of course, Ueda Nobukata would not say it arrogantly, he said very vaguely: "Such a thing may not be said, and it is difficult to draw conclusions in the future, and it will not be fruitful until the dust settles in the matter of Kitazukimo-gun."

It's enough for only the four of us to know about today's matter, don't leak it out, otherwise those people will target it. ”

The other three nodded hurriedly, and they also knew very well that what they said today was very serious.
