The loss of Kashiwa Castle and the death of the castle lord Tanibai Naoya made Mogami Yoshimitsu, who originally thought that the Mogami family would still be able to fight Uesugi, begin to realize the weakness of the Mogami family. So he began to plan to repel the Uesugi army that came to attack the surrounding area of Yamagata Castle as much as possible.

After Mogami Yoshimitsu led the main force out of Emata, Takemata Kinzuna of Yamano Border Castle did not realize that the crisis was coming. And Mogami Yoshimitsu asked Wada Masamori, who had escaped from Gubai Castle, to secretly go to the castle to transfer the former Mogami family's retainer Hino Bichu and Goto Shogun before sending troops to Yamanobian Castle. He intends to minimize his own casualties as much as possible.

Under the persuasion of the important minister of the Mogami family, Wada Masamori, Hino Bichu and Goto Shogun agreed to become the internal response of the Mogami family. The reason why the two of them agreed to assist Mogami Yoshimitsu when the Uesugi army gained a great advantage was that when Takemata Keitsuna transferred to this place, he used them to no longer reuse the land for himself after he finished picking it up, and even cut their territory again and again, and now the two of them have been reduced to guarding the castle gates.

Subsequently, Hino Bichu and Goto Shogun and the two of them led their headquarters to attack Otemon and let the Mogami army enter after the 1,300 troops under the command of Mogami Yoshimitsu under the castle.

After learning the news that Hino Bichu and Goto Shogun were rebelled by the Mogami family, Takemata immediately shrank the defenders to Ninomaru for defense, and as for Sannomaru and Demaru who were lost, they could only be lost, and he couldn't do anything at all, so he could only quickly send someone out of the city to Tao Qingxian for help.

Takemata was well aware of the importance of the mountain and field border castles, and he deployed 200 city soldiers in Ninomaru, and he himself led 50 ashigaru troops to take care of various places in Honmaru. Fortunately, after the mountain and wild border castle became part of the fiefdom of the Takemata family, Takemata Qinxiu has been renovating it. Originally, Honmaru had only one imperial hall, but now it has a two-story castle tower and four small castle towers, and Ninomaru has as many as 10 arrow towers, which is comparable in size to Mogami Honkoyama Castle. Thanks to Takemata Kinhide's early preparations, Mogami Yoshimitsu led his army to capture Sannomaru and Demaru and could not capture Ninomaru with the advantage of troops.

In just three days, Mogami Yoshimitsu launched six fierce attacks on Ninomaru in the border castle of Yamano, but each time it was in vain, and hundreds of casualties were inflicted. Just when Mogami Yoshimitsu was about to use his flag book as a precursor to attack Ninomaru again, he arrived outside Yamano Castle by Sakashigenai, who had rushed from Yamagata Castle. It was a coincidence that Sakashigenai was able to find the location of Mogami Yoshimitsu, but this time he came to meet Mogami Yoshimitsu with no good news.

"What's the matter? I'm leading an army to attack the old territory occupied by the Uesugi family, unless Yamagata Castle is attacked by the Uesugi army, I'll go back quickly! Yoshimitsu Mogami said impatiently.

"Report to the lord, Yamagata Castle was attacked by the enemy's Shinbata Inaba Mori Department not long after you went out into battle! The defenders were only 300 strong, and they could not withstand the onslaught of the Uesugi army. The four pills in the southeast and northwest are lost! As soon as Sakashige's voice fell, Yoshimitsu Mogami couldn't stand still.

"Didn't the Shinbata Inaba Moribe Department besiege Sakagaoka Castle with Sebe, Enzawa and others?! How could it suddenly appear under Yamagata Castle?! Mogami Yoshimitsu even suspected that Mitsushihiro Kazuoka was either collaborating with the enemy or had already died in battle, otherwise how could the Uesugi army attack his own stronghold Yamagata Castle so quickly?

However, what Mogami Yoshimitsu didn't expect was that the Sakaoka Castle guarded by Mitsushige Nakaoka was not able to contain Katsunaga Sebe, Shigeya Shinbata and others. Shigeya Shinbata threw the task of capturing Kazuoka Castle directly to Katsucho Sebe and Mitsunobu Yanzawa and others, and he himself led an army of 900 to the hinterland of Murayama County alone.

In addition, Mogami Yoshimitsu almost poured out, resulting in a serious shortage of defenders in Yamagata Castle, and it was impossible to defend every part of the castle. The Shigeta family only divided the headquarters into four parts, and launched an attack on Yamagata Castle at the same time, but the result was that the four Izumaru of Yamagata Castle were easily occupied. If it weren't for the lack of troops at hand of the Shibata Shigeka, then the Sannomaru and Ninomaru of Yamagata Castle would have also been replaced with the Uesugi family's bamboo finch flag at this moment.

At this moment, there are two options in front of Mogami Yoshimitsu: first, he can withdraw his troops and return to Yamagata Castle to repel the Shibata Shigeya; 2. After capturing the border castle of Yamano, he marched westward, controlled the empty garrison of Hatakeya Castle and Asahi Castle, and cut off the rear road of the Uesugi army. However, before Mogami Yoshimitsu could make a decision, Tao Qingxian led an army of 16,000 troops to Numagi Castle, and the guard general Shimura Mitsukiyoshi hurriedly sent Saito Hiromori and others to ask for help.

"My lord, you can't hesitate any longer! Once the Swamp Castle is lost, the Yamagata Castle will lose its barrier! The small country of Settsumori then spoke.

"Yes, my lord, it's only a matter of time before Aogang City is lost now, and if Swamp City is lost, it's all over!" Satomi Genemon immediately chimed in.

"Date Huizong's shaft is not to move troops, if the 1,000 troops in his hand are stationed in the small Shirakawa in the east of Yamagata Castle, will the Shinbata Shigejia dare to lead 900 people to attack Yamagata Castle so arrogantly?!" Mogami Yoshimitsu's military advisor Horiki said helplessly.

"Is the tide turning? The martial arts of the most senior family has come to an end? Just give up the struggle and submit the Uesugi family? Mogami Yoshimitsu kept asking himself, but Date Terumun also had a hard time not sending troops.

A few days ago, Yushanka, the Date army was in the main formation.

"Uesugi Army Envoy Ikeda Morishu See Date Family's Young Master Teizune." Ikeda Morishu slowly walked into the base of the Date Army, and said weakly to Date Terumune, who was sitting on the main seat.

"What? How did the Uesugi army come up with the idea of sending an emissary? Could it be that the attack on Murayama County was too difficult, and he wanted the Date army to watch from the wall? The old Takajo Sotsuna of the Date family (the left-behind family) first sneered and said.

"It's not as the lord said, but the Uesugi army is invincible and invincible. Successively the Hanhee family, the Shiratori family, the Yoshikawa family, the Shiraiwa family and other Nishimurayama County people were destroyed, the small country Hosokawa family in the north of Mogami County and the Mogami family of Higashimurayama County were even more precarious, the old Shimizu family retainers were exterminated, Shonai and Aizu four counties, Sendo seven counties are coming in a steady stream, there are currently nearly 30,000 troops in Murayama County, I don't know what happened to the Date army coming to Murayama County? Ikeda Morishu first glanced at Takashiro Sotsuna, and then said slowly in a calm tone.

"I'm here to keep the name of the Mogami family." Date Terumune said after smiling.

"The top family is a famous family in Yuzhou, and my lord knows it well. This time it will not destroy the Mogami family, so that the Mogami family will cut off the family name. Don't bother with the Zokyo Hall of Royda. Ikeda Morikuni smiled at Date Terumune.

"Won't you destroy Mogami House? Could it be that the Hanhejiang family, the Shiraiwa family, and the Yoshikawa family in Nishimurayama County were not the work of the Uesugi army? The Mogami family lost their castles and lost their land one after another, and most of the genealogies were killed in battle, and even their original stronghold, Yamagata Castle, was about to be surrounded by the Uesugi army. What the Uesugi Army has done has already scared the generals of Oshu and other Oshu! Munemitsu Tamate roared at Ikeda Morishu.

"Most of the countrymen lords of Nishimurayama County are headed by the Hanhejiang family, and since the establishment of the shogunate by the self-respecting clan, they have repeatedly opposed the shogunate, and they have also fought against the shogunate! It is only natural that these chaotic parties will be defeated, but it will be a little later. However, the Mogami family had agreed to keep Yamagata Castle after negotiating a truce with the main family, but Mogami Ukyo colluded with Hiyama Ando, Minato Anto, Yuri Twelve, and Tozawa to go south not long after the oath was submitted, and on the other hand, they also incited the Sarakoshi family in Shonai to rebel. All of the above has led to my lord having to send troops to teach Mogami a lesson. If the Date family doesn't know each other, the next person to be taught a lesson is the Date family. Ikeda burst out laughing.

"What?! Aren't you afraid of being in a different place here?! Takashiro angrily drew his saber and placed it around Ikeda's neck.

"Of course I'm not afraid, but if I'm afraid, will I come next? And I would like to remind you that when Taoo Zhang Mamoru left the Uesugi army's main camp, he had already led 20,000 troops to gather under Numagi Castle, and there were still 5,000 troops surrounded by Sakagaoka Castle, and there were still 2,000 Uesugi troops in Hasedo Castle and other places, do you think you can fight with the Uesugi army? If you don't dare, put your sword away! Ikeda reprimanded on Monday, and Takashiro Munetsuna wilted and quickly put away the saber.

"Your envoy's eloquence is amazing, and he is full of confidence! The Date family and the Mogami family are an alliance of in-laws, so they have to send troops to help. Date Terumune admired Ikeda Morishu very much.

"I advise Zuojing Hall below, if the Date family is involved, the family will have the pretext to attack the Date family. At that time, Soma and Tamura in the south, Honke in the west, Kasai in the east, and Onodera in the northwest. I'm afraid that the two fists of the Date family will be invincible to the four hands. Ikeda said in an arrogant tone.

"You!" As soon as Takajo Sotsuna wanted to draw his sword, he was stopped by Tamate Somitsu on the side.

"The Spo family has agreed to send troops south to assist the Honke family and the Osaki clan in defending against the enemy, and then the Honke family only needs to face the attack of the Uesugi family." Tamate said disapprovingly.

"The Soma family is not the Soma family that was pressed and beaten by the Date family before. Whether it is weapons and armor or iron cannons and bows, they are all supplied by the main family, and the Tamura family is the same. I'm afraid that when the Date family is embattled, I will think of bowing my head and making amends to my lord! Ikeda said in an arrogant tone.

"I understand that as long as the Date family withdraws, then they can be safe for a while. If the Date family and the Uesugi family are fighting each other, then the next one after the Mogami family is defeated? Date Terumune seems to understand the purpose of Ikeda's visit.

"Not bad. I came here on this trip to dissuade Zuojing Hall from thinking about the survival of the Date family's family name, and don't be impulsive and hateful! Ikeda nodded.
