Toki and Tsukahara Heiji are both traditional samurai, escorting the captured Hao samurai all the way steadily and methodically; Sasaki Nagahide still continued his tactics of fierce attack, often leading thousands of people to besiege a small city defended by only one hundred and ten people, so frightened that the defenders hurriedly came out to surrender, and after a little hesitation, they directly slaughtered the whole city, and the murderous reputation of the red dragon Sasaki became more and more feared as the war unfolded. And the most leisurely fight is Zhou Dashuai, Zhou Dashuai asked the samurai to watch the governors of those wealthy families in advance, and asked them to write to the family to persuade them to surrender, and the bright sword was on the neck, who dared not write? Then the army drove down the city, and there was no need to stop, the vanguard sent the letter into the city, and soon all the men in the city came out to join the army of Zhou Dashuai. Because Zhou Dashuai is different from Sasaki Nagahide, he can use eight points of strength to do things well, and he will never use nine points of strength, so although he is tied with Sasaki Nagahide as the Sun and Moon Double Dragon General, the name of killing is far inferior to the other party. Zhou Dashuai was at ease with this, but in order to eliminate the hidden danger of his lack of prestige, when he came to a place, he swept away all the ashigaru samurai in the place, and anyone who dared to escape or was unwilling was directly killed by his whole family. As a result, a large number of young and middle-aged people filled into Zhou Dashuai's legion, and the size of the legion became larger and larger, reaching almost 20,000 people.

Looking at the battle reports sent from the front line in the past few days, the corners of Tsukahara Molong's mouth raised a weird smile again: In this way, Changlu Country has been fully captured by me, and most of the Shimono Country has been captured, and the guys around him should also react! It's time to take the next step!

At this time, under Musashi Matsuyama Castle, a huge dispute broke out between the three coalition forces of Hojo, Takeda, and Imagawa. After the Battle of Fuchu Castle, the three coalition forces launched a fierce attack on Musashi Province, and although Kohata Kenshige and the Musashi Seven Communists resisted vigorously, and Nagano Yoshimasa also led the Ueno samurai to support, they were defeated in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the coalition forces. Not long ago, the two sides once again engaged in a fierce siege battle under Kawagoe Castle, but the defeat of Fuchu Castle had a serious impact on the morale of the Uesugi army, and Nagano Yemasa finally had to choose to withdraw from Kawagoe Castle. The defense line around Ninja Castle, which Kohata Kenshige was responsible for, was also broken through by Takeda Nobuyoshige's army, and the three allied forces approached Musashi Matsuyama Castle, the last stronghold of the Uesugi family in Musashi Province.

Just when the excitement of the Hojo clan was about to reach its highest point, a thunderbolt suddenly came from the sky: Tsukahara Ink Dragon came back from the dead, annihilated 38,000 allied troops at the foot of Shomon Mountain, and formed four major armies to attack the land of Shimono and Hitachi!! Compared with Tsukahara Moryū, it took a lot of effort to capture Musashi by uniting the Takeda family and the Imagawa family, and it was a joke!

After verifying and verifying the information many times, the Hojo clan only then informed Takeda Nobuyhiro and Asahina Taino of this information, so that the two who had been in a high position for a long time and were insensitive and moody were not calm in an instant! Tsukahara Moryū didn't die? Then let's make a yarn! It also swept the Shimono country and the Hitachi country, how can this be played? As one of the core figures in their respective families, Takeda Nobuyhiro and Asahina Taino are naturally very aware of the current dilemma. I'm afraid that there is no way to stop Tsukahara Molong except to immediately withdraw the troops and mobilize the main forces of the Takeda family and the Imagawa family...... himself, and even the people of the world, were calculated by Tsukahara Molong!

The Hojo clan waited until the two of them calmed down a little, and said resolutely: "For today's plan, we have to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tsukahara family to come out of the nest and attack the Hitachi country and the Shimono country, and we will go straight to the main city of the Tsukahara family: Xiaojin Castle, and force Tsukahara Molong to retreat!" ”

"You can also contact the Ashina clan in Aizu immediately, and let them put pressure on the Tsukahara army in Shimono Province!" Hojo Tsunari on the side also spoke.

But Nobuyoshi Takeda and Asakata thought for a moment, and finally shook their heads. Although the Hojo clan's strategy is good, the army is approaching Koganeshiro, and there is a great possibility that the main force of Tsukahara will be forced back, but did Tsukahara Moryū expect this and make arrangements? If this is also a trap, and the main force of the Hojo Army will be wiped out in the Battle of Mt. Monyama again, then both the Uesugi family and the Hojo family will completely lose the power to counterbalance Tsukahara Molong! And the respective strategies of the Takeda family and the Imagawa family can be said to have reached a critical moment, whether it is Takeda Harunobu or Imagawa Yoshimoto, they never want to mobilize the main force and personally fight Tsukahara Molong in a ring. Even if it wasn't a trap, if Tsukahara Molong transferred the four legions he had formed back to fight with himself and the others, the two of them asked themselves that even if they added Hojo Tsunari, they wouldn't necessarily be Tsukahara Molong's opponent, and the result was estimated to be similar to the trap. More importantly, if the First World War could not solve the problem of Tsukahara Molong and instead fought with him, the Takeda family and the Imagawa family would also not be able to get rid of it, and the Hojo family had long been exhausted after years of war, and as far as the two knew, the Hojo family's money and food had almost run out, so in the later period, or even in the middle period, they would have to rely on the Takeda family and the Imagawa family to carry the beams, which the two would never want to see at this time.

Thinking of this, Takeda Nobu Shihiro spoke first: "It's better to think about this matter in the long run, after all, if we lead the army to attack Koganeshiro, not only will the Musashi Kingdom that we just captured may be taken away by Nagano Yesamao and others, but there is also a standing garrison of the Tsukahara Army in Edo Castle to threaten our flank." ”

Asahina Taichao also said: "Even if we want to fight, we must control the intensity and scope of the conflict with Tsukahara Molong. According to the information obtained by the family, Uesugi Kenmasa has sent someone to the Echigo Nagao family for help, and although Tsukahara Molong is not dead, the Hojo family still has no way to prove their innocence in the assassination of Ueno Province, if we fight with Tsukahara Molong, Echigo Nagao Keihu will never sit idly by! ”

The Hojo clan's face turned pale when he heard this, and since the Battle of Fuchu Castle, his prestige has skyrocketed, and it is those veterans left over from his grandfather's time who have become respectful and respectful when they see him, and even in their correspondence with Takeda Harunobu and Imagawa Yoshimoto, both of them use honorific titles for themselves. It's just that Takeda Nobuyoshi and Asahina Taino are so ignorant! Even he didn't realize that after the first battle of Fuzhong City, he didn't become so easy to listen to. In fact, this is also the common character of most people, when the end of the emergency, Corporal Lixian, it is easy to listen to the opinions and criticisms of others, but when the spring breeze is proud, especially after a hearty victory and fame move the world, people will become more inclined to listen to the words rather than the contrary.

Hojo Tsunari on the side didn't look surprised, but seemed to be relieved, and looked at the Hojo clan with a faint worry: "My lord, my subordinates have received information that part of the Uesugi army has retreated into Edo Castle, and we just have enough excuses to attack Edo Castle, you see?" ”

The Hojo clan struggled for a long time, but under the pressure of Takeda Nobuyoshi, Asahina Taino, and Hojo Tsunari, he finally spoke: "So...... Let's take back Edo Castle first......"
