At sunset, the Imagawa family and the Ogasawara family have withdrawn their troops, the Imagawa army has retreated into Ashosuke Castle, and the Ashigaru of the Ogasawara army is cleaning up the battlefields everywhere.

Imagawa Yoshimoto stood on the arrow and watched, his face was pale, he clutched the fan tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "How can this be so, my family's army is defeated!" ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the main force under Ogasawara Yoshicho has outstanding combat power, that is, the nearly 10,000 standing forces to break through the defense line of the family." ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto was puzzled and said: "Where did he come from so many standing guards, and his family is only a few thousand people!" ”

Taiyuan Yukisai shook his head and said: "Although the family also has standing ashigaru, but these are scattered in the hands of retainers and countrymen, but the standing ashigaru of the Ogasawara family is completely under the command of Ogasawara Yoshinaga. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto said with some interest: "Then can the main family be like the Ogasawara family?" ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai frowned, thought about it, shook his head, and said: "The situation of this family is different from that of the Ogasawara family, and Ogasawara Yoshicho has also risen rapidly in a few years.

The background of his family is not as deep as his own family, and those retainers under his command were all subdued by his defeat, and his retainers naturally did not dare to resist his orders.

It is a very expensive thing to train standing ashigaru, and if the family wants to train nearly 10,000 standing ashigaru, the family must have a conflict with the retainers, and at this time, it is not a good thing for the family. ”

After listening to Taiyuan Xuezhai's words, Imagawa Yoshimoto was so angry that he could only open the fan and fan himself hard.

Taiyuan Yukisai said again: "Since the family cannot defeat Ogasawara Yoshicho in the field, they can only rely on diplomacy to control Ogasawara Yoshinaga. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head and said, "Who else in this family can be an ally?" Oda Nobuyasu can't get reinforcements from his own family, and he won't survive this year.

Takeda Harunobu, this kid is still nesting in Kaili, this Takeda is the most unreliable guy, and the family must teach him a lesson! ”

At this moment, a samurai came running and said, "Report! The lord, Owari came to the urgent report, Oda Nobunaga captured the upper four prefectures! ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes widened, and then he covered his mouth with a fan and smiled: "Oh, hehehe, Oda Nobunaga backstabbed Ogasawara Yoshinaga, this is really... Oh hehehe, that's great news.

Now I just want to see what Yoshinaga Ogasawara's expression looks like! Oda Nobunaga backstabbed Ogasawara's family, and Takeda Harunobu will also make a move, right? ”

Taiyuan Yukisai smiled: "Now this situation is interesting, Oda Nobunaga took Owari, it is really a very favorable situation for the family." ”

...

"Bastard!" Ogasawara Yoshinori angrily threw the fan in his hand directly to the ground.

"Oda Nobunaga! Hehe, it's really not a person who surrenders to his family with peace of mind! ”

Kamizu Kenra was very indignant and said: "My lord, take the hostages of the Oda family in front of the battle now, and if Oda Nobunaga does not surrender, kill them!" ”

Yoshicho waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's just two women, Oda Nobunaga dares to seize the upper four prefectures, and he is ready to abandon them." Now it's time to consider Oda Nobunaga's actions. ”

The position of Owari is very important, and it is an important position that cannot be abandoned for both Yoshinaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto.

There were two main reasons why Oda Nobunaga dared to seize the upper four prefectures, one was that he was unwilling to submit to the Ogasawara family.

Second, Oda Nobunaga saw the opportunity for the Imagawa family and the Ogasawara family to go to war before deciding to seize the upper four prefectures.

If the Imagawa family is at a disadvantage and he Nobunaga takes Owari, he will have one more ally for Imagawa Yoshimoto.

If the Ogasawara family is at a disadvantage, then Ogasawara Yoshinaga can only swallow this result with patience even if he learns that he Nobunaga has taken the upper four counties.

The reason why Yoshinaga was so angry with Oda Nobunaga was because Oda Nobunaga's means of seizing the upper four prefectures were with the help of his Yoshinaga's power.

When Inaba Ryotsu and the others fought against Oda Nobuyasu, Oda Nobunaga led thousands of soldiers and horses north to support Inaba Ryotsu.

However, halfway through, Oda Nobunaga's troops captured the most important castle in the four prefectures in several ways, and at the same time took Iwakura Castle, the residence of Oda Nobuyasu.

Oda Nobuyasu, who got the news, was instantly defeated, and his retainers basically fled and surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobuyasu saw that he was gone, so he ran to Kyoto.

Inaba Ryotsu originally wanted to lead his troops into Iwakura Castle, but Oda Nobunaga sent a messenger to tell Inaba Ryotsu that he Nobunaga was the guardian of Owari, and that the turmoil in Owari was over, and he Inaba Ryotsu could lead his troops back.

Inaba Ryotsu immediately understood that Oda Nobunaga had betrayed the Ogasawara family, and he did not force his way in, but led the team to retreat to Sumamata Castle in an orderly manner.

In the hands of Oda Nobunaga, he also holds Spo Yoshigin, who has been killed, and Spo Yoshiin is the rightful guardian.

Now the safety of Wave's entire life is in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, and after Oda Nobunaga took the upper four prefectures, Wavey Yoshiin promised to let Oda Nobunaga serve as the guardian of Owari Province in order to save his life.

Because of Oda Nobunaga's move, Tokaido has become a situation in the Three Kingdoms, and the overall strength of the Ogasawara family is relatively strong, and if Yoshinaga wants to continue the attack, Oda Nobunaga will join forces with Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Yoshinaga was also angry because of this, and at the same time he was jealous of Oda Nobunaga, who could be said to be the son of destiny.

First of all, it was the battle of Tsubashima, and it suddenly rained that day, and Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp stopped marching because of the rain, which also made Nobunaga, who was marching in the rain, meet Imagawa Yoshimoto's main camp. And so the battle of the barrel narrows took place.

Secondly, Oda Nobunaga's strategy for Mino was fruitless for several years, and he was defeated several times by Saito Yoshiryu, but within a few years, Saito Yoshimyu died of a sudden illness.

Then when Oda Nobunaga fought fiercely with Asakura and Asai, Takeda Harunobu sent troops to beat Tokugawa, and when he was about to go to Lota Oda, he fell ill and died.

In the end, it was Uesugi Kenshin, when Oda Nobunaga destroyed Asakura Asai and captured Hokuriku to stop the Uesugi family's road to Kamiraku.

As a result, Uesugi Kenshin sent troops against Oda Nobunaga, and the Oda army suffered defeat, but Uesugi Kenshin died suddenly and violently shortly after.

This luck made Yoshinaga's back chill, and he was afraid that his fate would be killed by Oda Nobunaga like Liu Xiu, the son of destiny, like Wang Mang.

Don't believe in these providences, gods and ghosts, this is a bit difficult for Yichang, after all, he has crossed over, who knows if God arranged it.

Yoshinaga, who was angry, had already calmed down, and he immediately said, "Send someone back to Shinano to see, what are the actions of the Takeda family?" ”

Izura Qingzhong stepped forward and said, "Ha, my subordinates will go back to find out the news." ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "The matter of Owari has affected this campaign, and the flanks of the family are no longer safe, so stop the attack for the time being, and go to the side of the castle." ”

Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "Ha! Subordinates receive orders. ”

Yoshicho waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "Let's stop here today, let's disperse." So saying, he got up and left.

...

Hahaha, Takeda Harunobu got the latest news, and laughed excitedly: "Hahaha, Owari's Oda Kamisuke backstabbed Ogasawara Yoshinaga, the family has waited for the time!" ”

All the retainers in the Ohiro room were excited and smiled.

Komai Takahakusai said: "My lord, although Oda Kamisuke backstabbed Ogasawara Yoshinaga, Oda Kamisuke only has the ability to protect Owari for the time being, and does not participate in the battle between Imagawa and Ogasawara.

Moreover, Ogasawara Yoshinaga suppressed Osagawa Osabe Daisuke in the field battle, and now Tokaido is afraid that Oda Kamisuke and Imagawa Osabe Daisuke will be able to confront Ogasawara Yoshinaga. ”

Takeda Harunobu touched his beard and said: "That's true, but for the main family, the enemy of the enemy is the ally, with the Imagawa family and the Oda family, plus the main family, Ogasawara Yoshinaga is also tired of coping."

Hahaha, he still has enemies in the north, well... We also need to find more enemies for Yoshicho and surround him! ”

Iitomi Huchang wondered: "Where did you find an enemy for him, the Uesugi family?" ”

Takeda Harunobu shook his head and said, "Hehehe, Ogasawara Yoshicho definitely didn't think that he would perish because he got Mino!"

The Gyeonggi Miyoshi family hated Yoshicho very much, and if Miyoshi Chokei could be allowed to enter, Ogasawara Yoshicho would be finished. ”

Komai Takahakusai shook his head and said, "If the Miyoshi family wants to enter the Tokaido, in addition to taking the Minami Omi of the Rokkaku family, it is Kitaise.

Unless Ogasawara Yoshinaga had a bad relationship with the shogunate, the Miyoshi family could pass through the Rokkaku family's territory.

The other is Kita-Ise, and I heard that it's very chaotic over there, and the Miyoshi family will definitely not choose this path. ”

Takeda Harunobu smiled: "It's easy, let the army of the Miyoshi family come by boat, whether it is the Oda family or the Imagawa family, there is a port." ”

Komai Takahakusai smiled: "Oh, yes, there is also shipping, in this case, the Miyoshi family can also enter." ”

Takeda Harunobu said confidently: "Hehehe, Ogasawara Yoshicho is about to finish." ”

Iitomi Huchang on the side said: "Lord, this Ogasawara family's ally is the Kanto governor, and now the Uesugi family is pressing the anti-Uesugi army in the Kanto, if the Uesugi family makes a move..."

Takeda Harunobu nodded and said, "I've already passed this exam, so I've already sent someone to contact the retainers of the Uesugi family, how can I watch Uesugi Masato pacify the Kanto region?" ”

Iitomi Huchang was surprised: "It turns out that the lord has already thought about it, and Ogasawara Yoshicho must be finished." ”

For a time, the monarchs and ministers of the Takeda family were overjoyed.

...

Kanto, outside the Ninja Castle, in the Uesugi family's main camp, the retainers of the Uesugi family only finished discussing tomorrow's siege, although Uesugi Masato quickly defeated the anti-Uesugi army in the field battle, but still suffered a loss in the attack and defense of Ninja City.

Hojo Takahiro frowned and returned to his tent. The retainers hurriedly came up and said mysteriously: "My lord, the Takeda family of Kai has sent an envoy to see you." ”

Hojo Takahiro hesitated for a moment and said, "Let him come to see me." ”

The messenger was Kasuga Torano, and when he saw Hojo Takahiro, he said, "Down there is Kasuga Toratsuna, a retainer of the Kai Takeda family, and I want to see Hojoden, and your demeanor on the battlefield today is really desirable." ”

Hojo Takahiro said expressionlessly: "Kai Mamoru asked you to come, didn't you come to talk about this nonsense?" ”

Kasuga Torzuna nodded and said: "The lord of this family really didn't let Zai say these words, but he saw the demeanor of Hojo Hall in Xia today, and he really admired it in his heart." ”

Hojo Takahiro smiled: "Okay, then why did you come to me?" ”

Kasuga Torsuna replied: "Today, I came down to visit the Hojo Hall, and it was really because the lord of the family was upset about the Hojo Hall.

Shinano's Ogasawara Yoshicho always bewitches Uesugi Daiden to follow some great righteousness, but in fact, he asks Uesugi Daiden to help him pacify the territories around Shinano, this person is really hateful! ”

When Hojo Takahiro heard Ogasawara Yoshicho's name, he snorted coldly: "Hmph, he Yoshicho is a flattering villain, and he has been bewitching the public in front of the lord since a few years ago!" It's disgusting! ”

Kasuga Toranotsuna nodded and said, "That's true, now that he Ogasawara Yoshinaga is at war with the Imagawa family, Oda Kamisuke, who was originally subordinate to him, has broken away from him.

Together with the main family, Ogasawara Yoshinaga is surrounded by enemies, and even the Miyoshi family will send troops from the sea to attack Ogasawara Yoshinaga.

The most important thing now is that I'm afraid that Uesugi Daiden will come to the game, Hojo Hall, which is not a good thing for Uesugi Daiden. ”

Hojo Takahiro was surprised: "What, does Ogasawara Yoshinaga have so many enemies?" This family must not be involved! ”

Kasuga Tora Tsunade paused: "Yes, Hojo Hall is really wise, you must persuade Uesugi Hall not to get involved." ”

Hojo Takahiro waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely prevent the lord from interfering in this matter." ”

Hojo Takahiro immediately got up and left his tent to meet Uesugi Masato.

Uesugi Masata was chanting the scriptures, and when he heard the news from the attendants outside that Hojo Takahiro had come to pay a visit, he had to stop and go out to meet Hojo Takahiro.

At this time, Uesugi Masato had already changed into a dark red monk's robe, which shone brightly under the illumination of the light.

In addition, he spread his hair out, and suddenly there was an inviolable majesty.

Uesugi Masahiro looked at Hojo Takahiro and wondered, "Takahiro, why do you still want to come to see me at night?" ”

Hojo Takahiro paused: "My lord, I got the news that Ogasawara Yoshinaga was besieged by Imagawa, Takeda, Oda, and Miyoshi in Tokaido. ”

When Uesugi Masahu heard this, he was shocked and said: "How can this be, that Yi Changshu is in danger, no, this family must help Yi Changyu!" ”

Hojo Takahiro said urgently: "My lord, now that the Kanto region has not been pacified, where does the family still have the strength to help the Ogasawara family, and please take your own family first!" ”

Uesugi Masahu waved his hand and said, "What are these little guys in Kanto in front of me?" If something happens to Yoshinaga, it will be a big loss for the world and for the shogunate! ”

Hojo Takahiro said angrily: "My lord, Ogasawara Yoshicho is a flattering villain!" ”

"Shut up!" Uesugi Masatora was furious, "Get out!" ”

Hojo Takahiro was so angry that his face turned red and purple, and he got up angrily and left in a huff. He said angrily in his heart: I will not stop humiliating me like this!
