Chapter 370: Covering Your Ears and Stealing the Bell

At the same time as the situation in the Gyeonggi area changed drastically, the court in the far east was not idle. Taking advantage of the fact that the armistice with the Takeda family was still in the stage of armistice, he quickly returned to the castle of Kawagoe after completely pacifying the country of Etsuchu, and discussed with his advisers Yamazaki Hidesen, Jieshan Yunkatsu, Saito Michizo and others about training and storing grain, and consolidating the fortresses of Sagami, Nishibu Sashi, Nishi-Ueno, and other places. It can be said that the Uesugi family is now recruiting troops and horses every day, accumulating grass and grain in the court, and suddenly leading the neestro to be full of horses, and the people's hearts are full of them.

At the same time, the court sat on the twelve kingdoms of the eastern kingdom (Ueno, Shimono, Musashi, Hitachi, Kamiso, Shizoo, Anbo, Sagami Major, Iwashiro, Iwaki, Rikumae, and Ryuchu), and constantly recruited troops and horses, accumulated grass and grain, and sought ministers from warriors, and gathered clouds and fog. Such a prosperous appearance naturally attracts the suspicion of enemies who have always hated each other. Among them, the Takeda family is the most suspicious.

At present, the news of Chaoding's wanton recruitment of troops and horses, accumulation of grass and grain, and general invitation to cities in various places has spread all over Jiaxinjun in three days. Takeda Shinxuan, who had previously failed to rescue the Vietnamese Chinese, began to sit on pins and needles when he heard the news, and he knew very well that the move was aimed at the Takeda family, and immediately summoned the important ministers of the family to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, it happened that the important ministers of the Takeda family, such as Takeda Nobushishi, Takeda Nobuyoru, Murosumi Koto, Kawakubo Nobumi, Takasaka Masanobu, and Iwate Nobumori, had been transferred to Enoe, Suruga, Izu, and other places to stabilize the domain, and after handing over the garrison task to his retainer Lang Party, they hurried to the Takeda Pavilion (Takeda Clan) to participate in the evaluation meeting. Takeda Nobushi, Iwate Nobumori, Kawawa Nobumi and other important ministers of the family praised Takeda Katsuyori for his active attack on Sagami after meeting Takeda Shingen, which caused the Uesugi family to be unable to successfully recapture the entire territory of Sagami, forcing the old Ota Shimasa of the pen head family under the command of Asadachi to shave his home, and also added a buffer area between the Takeda and Uesugi clans.

Takeda Katsuyori was not proud after hearing the words of Takeda Nobuyoshi, Kawawa Nobushimi, Iwate Nobumori and other important ministers of the family, but replied like this: "Several uncles and important ministers are too much, the reason why this junior was able to get away with defeating Ota Saemonsa, Yamamoto Temple Iyomori and other famous generals of the Uesugi family are all the spirits of the ancestors of the Kai Genji clan in the sky, and thanks to the blessing of his father, the prestige of the Takeda family, and the generals under his command charged into battle, risking the arrows and stones, and the younger generations are just doing a little work, why bother?" ”

"I can know the general situation, but I don't take credit, the big tree general of the Han Dynasty in the past, but so, I will definitely be able to become the pillar of the Takeda family in the future!" Takeda Nobuyhiro couldn't help but sigh after listening to Takeda Katsuyori's words.

"The stables say very much." After listening to Takeda Shinshi's words, Takeda Shingen nodded with satisfaction.

"The young master's courage and good fighting are the blessings of the Takeda family!" The important ministers of the Takeda family in the entire large wide room all said in unison. Although Takeda Shingen was very happy on the surface after hearing this, he was quite unhappy in his heart.

"The family and the Uesugi family have been at odds for more than ten years, thanks to the spirit of the ancestors of the Kai Gen clan, the generals cooperated, and Shiro came out, which was a shame for the family's heavy snow, so that the Uesugi family could not occupy the entire territory of Xiangshu, which could not be described as a blessing for the Takeda family. However, because Fujiwara Chaoding repeatedly offended the shogunate and the Kyoto government, and even killed the Furukawa government, established the Kanto government without permission, and destroyed many disobedient people, he was tyrannical and reckless in the eastern country. According to the detailed report: Fujiwara Sadari has divided the original Oshu into five countries: Rikuzen, Rikunaka, Mutsu, Iwaki, and Iwashiro, and a large number of people and wealthy families in the local country have been replaced, and a large number of people have been disposed of in the local people, and a large number of people have been transferred to the Fujiwara Dynasty of the Takeshu Calamus (the former Furukawa Gongfang is served to the public), the security of the Mushu Johoji Temple (the former Yamanuchi Uesugi retainer), the Takeshu Iruma Mamoru Sato Mamoru (the former Yamanuchi Uesugi retainer), and the Soga Mamoru of the Ashijo of Aishu (the former shogunate is served to the public) and others have successively led the clan Lang Party out of the Fujiwara Dynasty, and the new Hirayama Echizen Mamoru and Hirayama Mikawamori, Hirayama Shimono Mamoru, Kaneko Daizo Shaosuke, Okabe Beichu Mamoru and other powerful generals in Xiangzhou, plus the original land and water armies of the Eastern Kingdom, at least more than 100,000 armor! When he succeeded as the governor of the Uesugi family in Ogiga, he had only 10,000 armor, and only two of his retainers were Ota Shimasa and Namba Kenji who were worthy of his trust, and he was still able to defeat the Hojo family who was in full swing at that time. At this time, the Uesugi family was full-fledged, and instead of fighting for Gyeonggi in the west through the Hokuriku Road, they would inevitably fight westward for the land of the family in the Koshin East Sea. At present, Fujiwara Shota has ordered his retainers and generals to consolidate the castle troops in Xiangshu, Seibu Prefecture, Nishijoshu and other places adjacent to my Takeda Command, and they are constantly recruiting troops and horses, accumulating grass and grain, and intending to move the headquarters to Edo Castle, deliberately watching, without asking. If it is too late to wait for its troops to march westward, it is better to take advantage of its undecided situation and march first. What do you think? Takeda Shingen calmed down a little and said to all the important ministers in the Ohiroma.

"What the owner of the pavilion said is very true, but from the courtier's point of view, Fujiwara Asanoshi had lost his old domain and had been in exile for many years, so if it wasn't for the help of the Echigo generals, how could he sit in the land of the Twelve Kingdoms of the Eastern Kingdom? Within a year or two, the minister dared to ensure that he would never dare to launch an invasion of his own family: first, before his new seizure of the land, the foundation of the land was unstable, and there were wealthy people and wealthy families inside who were ready to move, and there were southern families eyeing him, and there were constant wars of all sizes. 2. Among the important ministers of the family, Ota Saemonzo, Nambada and others were successively transferred to distant countries and left their homeland Wushu; In addition, the Moritan Guardian, who had made great achievements in war, was also placed under house arrest in Chomeiji Temple outside Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle on the grounds of 'unauthorized use of swords', and was deprived of the position of bannerman; even the bannermen under his command, such as Hei, Dan, Kiuchi, and Matsudo, were also transferred to the land because they 'did not obey orders', and there were complaints from all levels to the top, and Fujiwara was determined to reorganize his troops and horses to invade his own family, and it would be difficult to carry out without the support of the commanders and ministers. 3. The twelve countries of the eastern kingdom led by Fujiwara Chaoding, the newcomers, the customs and people's customs, are not familiar, and they are not easy to work with. I will not attack the other, and he must not start the war on his own, so as to exhaust the unreplenished forces. Geshan Beizhong Shou and his family lived in Hedong for a long time, sitting in Jundong, Takeda Criminal Department Shaofu, Yokota Juro Guard Captain and other important ministers of the family respectively guarded the important towns of Junzhou, Xingguo Temple Castle, Fukasawa Castle and other places, the prestige is prosperous, enough to deter, but it is good to defend and not conducive to war. The lord wants to take advantage of the victory of the young lord to destroy the enemy of Fang Zhang, not only can not pour the country to fight for the eight countries of Kanto, but also is afraid that Echigo Uesugi Dan Zheng Yin Zhi will follow, it is better for the family to recuperate and wait and see the changes. Uesugi Dan Zheng Yin has always led the army to Shangluo Kuangfu Imperial Court Shogunate, it is better to wait for his army to go to Luo and then send troops to attack the Hokuriku Province, no matter whether the battle of Shangluo of Uesugi Dan Yin is won or lost, the family can profit a lot, I don't know what the owner of the pavilion wants? At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto said to Takeda Shingen.

"At present, the former retainers of the Imagawa family, such as Okabe Tanba Mamoru, Asahina Suruga Mamoru, and Asahina Bichumoru, are sitting in Xiangshu, recruiting rebels and deep ditches, and their ambition is to seize the land of Sunen's three states. Didn't the Oda family take the initiative to pledge allegiance to the Kyoto and Horikoshi principalities? Just let it raise troops in the collar, as long as Fujiwara Asadaki mobilizes troops to invade Oda Domain, then it is the time for the family to eliminate the elbow and armpit troubles. As soon as Kansuke Yamamoto's voice fell, Takeda Shinshihiro had an idea to Takeda Shingen.

"I have been worried about this day and night, and I am relieved to have the help of the survey and the stable. The stables quickly returned to Junzhou to take charge of the generals of Junzhou, ready to attack Xiangzhou at any time, and Kansuke immediately sent a capable person into Oda's territory to let Oda Sanki Shou raise troops as soon as possible. After listening to Takeda Shinshi's words, Takeda Shingen nodded with satisfaction and said.

"The owner is wise!" The rest of the important ministers in the Ohiroma then praised Takeda Shingen in unison.

Subsequently, as soon as the assessment meeting was over, Takeda Shingen ordered the important ministers in Enoe, Suruga, and Izu to secretly recruit troops and prepare to attack Sagami by taking advantage of the situation. Takeda Shingen knew very well that mobilizing a large army to advance eastward would definitely not be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the court, so he ordered the Matsuo Castle lord of Minami Shinano, Ogasawara Shinryo, the lord of Yoshioka Castle, the lord of Yoshiro Shimojo, the lord of Fukushima Castle, Kiso Yoshimasa, and the lord of Ashima Castle, Chihisa Yorimoto, to lead more than 5,000 troops to send troops to Mikawa Province with great fanfare, and went to crusade against the pro-Oda family's Higashi Higase Castle lord Miyake Takasada, Nishihirose Castle lord Miyake HD, Takahashi Nobumasa (Saijo Kira family retainer), Takahashi Masanobu (Saijo Kira family retainer, Takahashi Nobumasa's son).
