"Chapter 162: The Rules"
In a deep relationship, there will be passion, but more importantly there will be confidence, respect, and understanding that a man's loyalty is not in the physical sense, but that he will be there when you need it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info That's more important than simple loyalty.

As the head of the three elders of the Tsugaru family, Kanehira Tsunade naturally revered his position in the Tsugaru family, and when the Tsugaru family only had Ishikawa Castle and Fukushima Castle, Kanehira Tsunade was trusted by Tsugaru to be the lord of Fukushima Castle.
Since becoming the lord of Fukushima Castle, Kanehei Tsunori, who is accustomed to Taoguang's obscurity, has regarded the governance of Fukushima Castle as his only platform to display his ambitions, and many of the affairs of the Tsugaru family have gradually been taken over by the military advisor Numata Yumitsu.
So much so that when the Tsugaru family conquered the Nangang Imperial Palace, Numata Yumitsu became the biggest hero of the Tsugaru family, and Kanehei Tsunada, who worked hard for the Tsugaru family in the past, was still an unknown Fukushima Castle.
There is an old Chinese saying that gold shines wherever it is, and the conscientious Kanepei Tsunade worked hard for the strength of the Tsugaru family in Fukushima Castle, and everything about him was seen by Tsugaru Noshin until a serious existential crisis broke out in the Tsugaru family.
A rebellion broke out at the Nanoka Imperial Palace, the military advisor Yumitsu Numata and one of the three elders of Oura Nobumoto Morioka were placed under house arrest, and the armies of Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobukishi were left alone.
At this time, Tsugaru Noshin, who was the governor of the Tsugaru family, naturally had to take measures to deal with the crisis as soon as possible, and as a result, Kanehei Tsunori, who was still the lord of Fukushima Castle, became the last straw in Tsugaru's hands.
Everyone in the entire Mutsu country knows that the three elders of Oura were the key retainers of the Tsugaru family, and in particular, the head of the three elders of Oura, Kanehei Tsunori, was far superior to the other two elders in his talent and ability, and could be called the first retainer of the Tsugaru family.
If it weren't for Kaneheita Tsunari, who was trusted by Tsugaru to become the lord of Fukushima Castle, I am afraid that the position of the old man of the Tsugaru family would not have been vacant forever;
Tsugaru Noshin, who was unavailable, remembered the Kenpei Tsuna, whom he had once feared, and Kanehira Tsunade also showed the responsibility of a loyal servant in the face of Tsugaru Noshin's call, and he did not hesitate to let go of everything in Fukushima Castle and take on the heavy responsibility of countering the rebellion.
The army composed of 5,000 standing troops and 10,000 peasant soldiers was the counterinsurgency army that Tsugaru personally handed over to Kanehei Tsunano by Tsugaru Weixin, and it was also the last new force of the Tsugaru family.
In order to quell the rebellion of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace as soon as possible, Kanehirsuna divided his army into two parts, among which the most elite 5,000 standing troops and the carefully selected 3,000 peasant soldiers were ordered by Kanheita to rush to the Nangaoka Imperial Palace at full speed.
The remaining 7,000 peasant soldiers, who really had no combat effectiveness to speak of, were responsible for escorting the grain and grass supplies to slowly advance behind, so that the march of the counterinsurgency army was indeed faster, and it was getting closer and closer to the Langgang Imperial Palace.
In fact, the 8,000 soldiers of Kanehei Tsunori's vanguard arrived at the Nangang Imperial Palace half a day earlier than the battlefield ghosts predicted, and their attacks were even more fierce than the battlefield ghosts predicted, even to the point of not sparing death.
Kanehira is not an optimist, and he doesn't think that the Yanhuang family is so easy to deal with, and the choice of Fukushima Castle is Kanehira Tsunori, but that doesn't mean that Kanehira will no longer pay attention to the situation in Mutsunoku.
As early as when Kaneheita learned that the southern family had been replaced by the Yanhuang family, he focused on the study of this newly emerged Yanhuang family, and it was this research that made Kanehira Tsunade the person who knew the Yanhuang family best.
If Tsugaru had been able to negotiate this matter with Kaneheita before deciding to send an army to attack the Yanhuang family, perhaps the Tsugaru family would not have come to this point, because Kanehirsuna knew the Yanhuang family better than the others, and also understood the strength of the opponent.
The current situation has reached the point of deterioration, and Kanehira does not think that the Yanhuang family will let the Tsugaru family go after the conquest of the Spo family, and as for how long the Spo family can hold out, Kanehira speculates that it will not last more than a month, and only a little.
At such a critical juncture, if the Tsugaru family wants to gain the initiative in the war, they must first put down the rebellion of the Langoka Imperial Palace, then withdraw the army attacking the Yanhuang family to the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, and finally use the Nangaoka Imperial Palace as a support point to engage in a protracted war with the Yanhuang family.
Once the war between the Tsugaru family and the Yanhuang family is fought into a protracted war that consumes strength, the Tsugaru family will have more autonomy, and at that time, even if the Tsugaru family loses to the Yanhuang family, they can fight for a better result through other means.
The so-called better result can be that the Tsugaru family surrenders to the Yanhuang family on the premise of maintaining its independence, or that the Tsugaru family uses the power of the Uesugi family to deal with the Yanhuang family; in short, it is definitely a better result than being completely conquered by the Yanhuang family.
Prepared and decisive actions eventually gave Kanehira a glimmer of hope of victory, and his army arrived at the Nangaoka Imperial Palace earlier than Hakumine had expected, depriving Nangaoka of the opportunity to mobilize the peasants.
The counterinsurgency army of the Yachichitsugaru clan only rested for less than an hour after arriving at the Nangang Imperial Palace, and then launched a fierce siege battle against the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, while the fierce Kanehira Tsunade led the army to launch the main attack on the Nangaoka Imperial Palace without even a tentative attack.
At the beginning of the attack, Kaneheita was fully engaged in the attack on the eastern, southern, and western walls of the Nangang Imperial Palace, and the only northern wall that did not have an elite standing army to attack was also faced by 3,000 elite peasant soldiers.
There were only 3,000 soldiers in the Langoka Imperial Palace, and on average there were less than 800 soldiers on each wall, so they could not resist the attack of Kaneheita Tsunade at the expense of casualties.
Powerful shadow killers, they were deployed by Ivan on the four walls, and were specifically responsible for attacking and killing the samurai and ashigaru group leaders who rushed to the city walls of the Tsugaru family;
The flukely victory could not alleviate the crisis faced by the Langoka Imperial Palace, and in this half-day battle alone, 800 of the 3,000 defenders of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace were killed, and more than 1,000 soldiers were wounded.
Originally, Ivan was still very confident in defending the Nangang Imperial Palace, but the Tsugaru family's half-day onslaught made him understand that it was not easy to defend the Nangaoka Imperial Palace;
From the moment the Tsugaru family army came to the castle, Nangaoka Xianfan hid in the castle tower, and the performance of the 3,000 soldiers under his command was also extremely poor.
