Thanks to the efforts of Ashikaga Molong, the world spent more than two years in a basically peaceful environment. It's still a great sense of accomplishment to come to Ashikaga Molong, but if you want to go to Luo, you must have a stable rear. Ashikaga Molong once again set his sights on Mutsu and Dewa, a place like the western part of the country that was not long after the founding of the United States, with fertile land and a relatively small population, although the people were fierce, but they were not able to rise any particularly powerful forces from beginning to end. At present, the Date family is working in this direction, but the Date family has always had an excellent tradition of marriage and infighting, and Date Zhimune vigorously promoted the marriage diplomacy and heir policy, and actively used diplomacy to integrate the various forces of Mutsu, but this move caused the dissatisfaction of the eldest son Date Harumune, who was in the prime of life, and finally civil strife broke out between the two sides. The Date's Astronomical Rebellion, which lasted for six years, greatly consumed Date's national strength, and the Date family, which had begun to show the hegemony of Mutsu during the Date Ōemune period, suddenly returned to the level of twenty years ago. Ironically, due to the great decline in national power, Date Harumune, who was originally opposed to marriage diplomacy, began to marry his daughter in shame. The Date family has rubbed shoulders with the overlord again and again in the internal strife of generations, and has never succeeded in integrating the forces of Mutsu from beginning to end, but it is also a strange existence.

At this time, the infighting of the Ashina family has reached a white-hot level, and the Ashina Mori clan was originally worried about Ashikaga Molong's opinion, but more than two years have passed, Ashikaga Molong still has no reaction, and finally he can't wait to start operating. First of all, the family governor Lu Ming Shengshun died violently, and then in the assessment, the Ashina Mori clan ambushed the samurai, and under the supervision of Taidao, forcibly passed the resolution of his successor to the family governor, and then the first thing was to forcibly enter the hut next to the Ashina on the grounds that the Ashina clan was unwell, and directly strangled to prevent future troubles. I have to say that the Ashina Mori clan is still very strong, and his own brother will be strangled when he says he will be strangled, and then he will force the lord of Shiosheng City, Hirata Shunfan, to surrender to him, and the rest is Tomita Yoshimi, who said that he was sick and did not come. Yoshimi Tomita is the guardian of the Ashina clan, but his feelings for this guardian are obviously not so deep, in fact, since the defeat of the Ashina clan in the Kawasaki battle, Tomita Yoshimi has begun to find another way. He had sent someone to secretly contact Ashikaga Molong a long time ago, and was willing to serve as an internal response in the Ashina family, but this move was rejected by Ashikaga Molong. In desperation, Yoshimi Tomita had to secretly take refuge in the Date family. When he heard the news of Ashina Morijun's violent death, Tomita Yoshimi immediately asked the shadow warrior to call him sick, and he disguised himself as a dung picker and fled back to his home overnight, and hurriedly asked Date Harumune for help. Sure enough, within a few days, Tomita Yoshimi learned the news of the death of the Ashina clan's illness and the Ashina Mori clan's crusading army. Fortunately, Tomita Yoshimi had already prepared, and most of those crusading armies were wealthy families, and they were also not so enthusiastic about things like siege warfare that were prone to large casualties, and both sides were happy to play Tai Chi. After the arrival of the descendants of the Ashina Sheng clan, he repeatedly urged the Hao clan to attack but was perfunctory, after all, the Ashina Sheng clan was not in the right position, and he had just succeeded as the family governor and did not have so much power, if he really dared to take a few Hao clans to establish authority, these Hao clans would not mind discussing with the Ashina Sheng clan how his father and his brother died. It's a big deal to bring in the Ashikaga family or the Date family, who is afraid of whom.

In desperation, the Ashina Sheng clan could only transfer troops to attack by himself, but these were all his descendants, and the casualties were more or less cut from him, and naturally it didn't last long, and in the end he could only adopt the most popular tactics of this era: encirclement.

The Ashina Mori clan was not idle, first hurriedly sent an envoy to Edo Castle to report to Ashikaga Molong about his becoming the governor of the family, and expressed his willingness to follow Ashikaga Molong Kamiraku, as long as he was recognized by Ashikaga Molong, then he was not afraid of anyone opposing his rule. On the other hand, he sent troops to Date's house to seek support, and he was able to get the approval of the leader of the Date family, and his position as the governor of the family was relatively stable.

But what made him stunned was that the Date family actually asked Tomita Yoshimi to transfer to the Date family before he would recognize his rule, the problem is that Tomita Yoshimi's residence is in the Aizu Basin, and if the Date family sticks his hand in, he will still be a fart governor. Ashikaga Molong was even more ruthless, directly cut down the messenger, and raised troops to fight on the charge of killing his father and brother by the Ashina Mori clan, and the Ashikaga family had 50,000 standing troops, when he knew the news, the 30,000 troops of the Ashikaga family were almost at his doorstep!

However, Ashikaga Molong sent troops so quickly not only made the Ashina Mori clan tremble, but the Date family was also dumbfounded, not to mention anything else, if Aizu was taken, Ashikaga Molong's hand would be stretched into Mutsu. The Date family itself is a big alliance leader of a loose alliance, once someone in this alliance is destroyed by a stronger person, but the alliance leader doesn't say anything, then no one will support this alliance leader, but the war with Ashikaga Molong is still too bottomless. Just when Date Harumune was in a dilemma, Oda Nobunaga's envoy came at the right time.

Oda Nobunaga also didn't know about the turmoil within the Ashina family, and he sent envoys purely to weave an Ashikaga encirclement network, pulling forces such as Mutsu Dewa to contain the rear of Ashikaga Molong, and Nagao Masaki also began to centrifuge with Ashikaga Molong with the development of Sado Kanayama, and the Nagao family and the Takeda family were just able to surround Ashikaga Molong in a semicircle. But this is more of a diversion effect, and the real killer move is still in the land of: Oda Nobunaga single-handedly facilitates a new alliance: the Oda Asakura Asai Miyoshi Alliance, and the target is the overlord of Minami Omi: the Rokkaku.

After the last Battle of Nagashima, Oda Nobunaga learned from the pain, and after careful study, he still felt that the Rokkaku family seemed to be powerful, but it was the farthest away from Ashikaga Molong, and it was difficult to get direct help from other allies, which can be said to be the key to breaking the game, and he promised the Asai family to help deal with the Rokkaku family, and now he is fulfilling his promise. After two years of recuperation, the Oda family also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, so they dispatched 20,000 troops, and the Asai Asakura army of Kotani Castle 30,000 troops, a total of 50,000 troops, stormed the eastern part of the Rokkaku family, and Miyoshi Nagakei alone dispatched 30,000 troops to storm the western part of the Rokkaku family, a total of 80,000 troops, with the intention of destroying the Rokkaku family in one go.

The frightened Rokkaku family also found a bunch of helpers, but it was difficult to count on the reinforcements of the Imagawa family, after all, the distance was too far, but the Imagawa family was really interesting, after all, he also knew that if Oda Nobunaga cleaned up the Rokkaku family, it was estimated that it would be his turn soon, so he still ordered Ohno Shinzaemon to lead the Imagawa family to 5,000 standing reserves to go to reinforcements. The wealthy clans of Northern Ise and the Kitabatake family of Southern Ise all got together, and squeezed out an army of 20,000 and the ninjas of Iga Province to enter Minami-Omi, but even so, the Rokkaku family could only make up less than 60,000 people with more than 30,000 people by themselves. These people who are missing can only rely on the masters. Fortunately, the masters have a tendency to form a joint force under the contact of Ashikaga Molong, of course, it may also be because they beat Oda Nobunaga and them too hard last time, and they are afraid that after the Rokkaku family is destroyed, they will be retaliated against, so they still support the Rokkaku family very much. A large number of monks joined the Rokkaku Army's defense of the castle, while Ishiyama Honganji Temple and the Hatano family in the north also sent troops to harass the rear of the Miyoshi family. A new big war is about to begin.
