In the second year of Yonglu, August 3rd. At the same time as the fall of Minowa Castle, Asadachi and Tokugawa Ieyasu's famous generation Sakai Tadaji signed the 'Takesan Alliance' in Hirai Castle, and Asadachi and Tokugawa Ieyasu formed an offensive and defensive alliance against the Takeda family.

Today, the situation in Ueno is not improving. Higashi-Ueno has not been completely pacified by Ota Shimasa, but Nishi-Umino has almost become the sphere of influence of the Takeda family. Even Nagano Yetsu asked his son Nagano Yeren to marry Takeda Shingen's adopted daughter (the daughter of a Shinryu), which was not a good start.

On August 4, Tomotashi Fujii, the commander of Akema Castle and the elder of the Minowa Nagano family, abandoned the castle and left Ueno with his family to join Nagano Yoshimori, the lord of Sagami Misaki Castle. Subsequently, Akema Castle was taken over by the troops led by the retainer of the Takaru Nagano family, Tonegi Neizosuke.

At the same time, Shibata Yukimori and Sumii Youma Ryo, a retainer of the Shibata family lurking in Fujioka Castle, led some of the castle soldiers to open the Otemen Gate of Fujioka Castle, and served as the vanguard of the Uesugi army to enter Fujioka Castle Honmaru. Yukimori Ashida, Shinroku Nagao, Shinsuke Nagao and others heard the shouts of killing in Honmaru and thought that the Uesugi army had invaded Fujioka Castle, so they immediately committed suicide by seppuku in the Ohiroma, and the ronin who were unwilling to surrender were then all killed, and Fujioka Castle was captured by the Uesugi army in a short time. And the court also kept his promise, arranged for the former lord of the castle, Shibata Yukinari, to be stationed in Fujioka Castle, and wrote him a letter of inability to block.

Tamamura Castle, not far from Fujioka Castle, was soon captured by an army of 13,000 led by Ota Shikomasa, and the defenders Asakura Eitoki, Nagane Masaki and others and hundreds of castle soldiers were killed.

At this moment, Takeda Shingen, who was in Kai, didn't have time to rescue the countrymen lords in Ueno who were in Cage Castle. Because he needed to soak in the hot springs on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to wait for Kyoto Ashikaga Yoshiteru to agree to re-delegate the post of Kanto governor to Uesugi Kenmasa. Until then, Takeda Shingen did not plan to move troops easily.

In order to mobilize more troops into Ueno, he immediately sent a letter to Hitachi's generals such as Saito Michizo, Tao Haruxian, Oyama Asakyuki, and Naito Masatyo, asking them to arrange for the division of the territory of the Oda family and the Edo family as soon as possible, and then let the 30,000 troops leave Hitachi and march to Ueno as soon as possible.

However, no one expected at this time that after the division of the territory by generals such as Saito Michizo, Tao Haruxian, Koyama Asayaki, and Naito Masatoyo, it finally led to the result of a fierce battle between the Oda family and the Edo family. The reason for this was that the 35,000 koku territories of Mimura Castle, Ogawa Castle, and Fuchu Castle under the Okai clan were owned by the Oda family, while the 10,000 koku of Anado Castle and the 7,000 koku of Yantian Castle belonged to the Edo family. In this way, the Edo family had five times less territory than the Oda family on the books.

At this time, Kenji Namba touched a nose when Kita-Musashi attacked Honjo Castle. Not to mention that Honjo Castle itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, just the defenders of Honjo Castle and the southern branch city of Fiftyko Castle have gone out of the castle from time to time to attack and harass the Uesugi army, which has already made Namba Kenji have enough. If it weren't for the fact that the Asada's transfer of the main board of Shiizu Castle Castle to assist Namba Kenji in the siege of Namba Ta, it is unknown whether Namba Kenji would be able to besiege Honjo Castle.

However, Honjo Castle and the southern branch city of Goshiko Castle still caused great trouble for the Uesugi army. At this time, the Uesugi army in Higashi-Ueno was unable to cross the surging Tone River and went south to support Namba Tian Kenji and others. As a result, Honjo Minoru held back the 4,000 Uesugi army for a period of time, and also effectively supported the countrymen lords who were in Cage Castle in Nishiueno.

But fortunately, after Qianxin led his army of 6,000 south to Kanto, the pressure on Chaoding was instantly reduced a lot. Kenshin first united with Numata Yumitsu and Uesugi Keemitsu to attack Higashi-Azuma County, and destroyed the countrymen lords who were entrenched in Nakayama Castle, Nakajo Castle, and Shiri Takajo Castle, as well as the former retainers of the Shiritaka family, the former retainers of the Shirai Nagao family, and the former retainers of the Azuma Saito family, and successively captured more than 100 people, including the lord of Nakajo Castle, Yukunao Shika, the lord of Nakayama Castle, and the former retainers of the Shiri Takagawa family, Shiri Takazo Masuke, Jiri Takagen Jiro, Shiri Taka, Mikawamori, and Shiri Takatsumori.

Two days later, Yokoo Hachiman Castle was attacked by Kenshin, and the lord of the castle was begged to death by Chozaemon. Azuma Castle's Saito Yasuru Mamoru immediately fled from Azuma Castle, intending to flee to Takeda to seek refuge in the Takeda family. However, Saito Yasuki was assassinated by the Uesugi ninja Tang Ze Genbo while passing outside Senzo Castle. After that, only the Urano family of Oto Castle, Tomizawa Iyomori of Iwasa Castle, and the Takeda family of more than a dozen castles were left in Azuma-gun.

As Kenshin led his army south, Nagano Yetsu began to sit on pins and needles. Although he united the lords around Minowa Castle with Uesugi Kenmasa's close ministers and brought Uesugi Kenmasa back to Ueno, Kenshin had quickly pacified Higashi-Azuma Prefecture and began to prepare for an attack on Shibukawa Castle, where Nagano Yoshikuni was stationed. For this reason, Nagano Yedori can be described as having trouble sleeping.

"Brother, make a careful return to Baodu Tiancheng and Taojing City are empty! Shall I take over immediately? At this moment, Nagano Katsuye walked quickly into Nagano Yetsu's room.

"Take over? The 6,000 Echigo army has already attacked Ueno, and they are going to divide their troops to take over?! Whether I can keep my old collar after waiting is thank God, Amaterasu blesses! Nagano said with a wry smile.

"So should the Constitutional Government be moved to Eagle City? After all, it has only been a few days since the family captured Minowa Castle, and the people's hearts are undecided, not to mention that the Echigo army is in full swing, so it is not appropriate for us to confront it head-on. Nagano Katsuyo then made a statement to Nagano to transfer Uesugi Kenmasa to the headquarters of the Takaru Nagano family, and to Takaru Castle.

"As long as the constitutional government is here, Minowa Castle will still be in the hands of his family. It's just that I'm most worried about the branch cities in the south that are guarded by the lords of the countrymen. Not long ago, Kiryu Castle, Takayama Castle, Fujioka Castle, Tamamura Castle and other places were successively captured by the Uesugi army, and the Zen clan of Ueno in the Middle East was even more active in the Uesugi side. If we continue like this, we will be defeated and killed in less than half a month. Nagano said helplessly.

"So what were you doing with your troops at that time?! Knowing that your family will be defeated, you are still the spearman of the Takeda family, Dingqing Palace, Jingye Hall and others! "Nagano Katsuye is a little puzzled, why Nagano Yetsu knows this is the case and still does such a thing.

"If the Eagle Stay Nagano family does not raise troops, then the two old things Ueda Dingqing and Nagano Keizai will also raise troops to attack Minowa Castle. They've been waiting years to increase their territory. Rather than one of them becoming the guardian of Ueno, the head of the Nagano clan, and the lord of Minowa Castle, then it would be better for the main family to serve as the one. Nagano shook his head and said.

"In this case, it is better to hand over Baodu Tiancheng and Momoi Castle to Ueda Dingqing and Nagano Jingye to cut them freely. Let's get ready to go to Eagle Stay City first. "Katsuye Nagano came up with an idea.

"Yes, that's great! This will not only allow them to gain more territory, but also allow them to act as a gateway to Minowa Castle! Nagano was very happy when he heard this.

Just when Nagano Yetsu gave Ueda Dingqing and Nagano Jingye the order to attack Baodu Tiancheng and Momoi Castle, Ueda Dingqing and Nagano Jingye couldn't wait to send troops to occupy the unguarded Baodu Tiancheng and Momoi Castle. However, Ueda Dingqing had to look at Shu, and he was not satisfied with getting Baodu Tiancheng, and he fell in love with the unguarded Shicang City. However, in the process of sending troops to Ishikura Castle, Ueda was hindered by Toshima Tairai, the lord of Sosha Castle, the Kibe people, and Daihu Hidetsuna, and others, but to no avail. Ueda Dingqing still didn't give up, and it didn't count if he failed to send troops to Ishokura City, and he fell in love with Canghai City again. The result was still the same, Ueda was ambushed by the Kibe people in the process of sending troops to Canghai Castle, and once again in vain.

After learning that Higashi-Azuma-gun had been quickly pacified, Asada planned to 'close the door and beat the dogs'. On the one hand, he ordered Kohata Keisei, Oishi Tsunamoto, Ayukawa Kiyocho and others to join forces with Matsui Da Castle's Meio Masakatsu and Shibata Kiyomasa of Anzhong Castle to launch a fierce attack on the Anaka family and the Hou Xian family entrenched in Gokan Castle, Dansheng Castle, Tennoyama Castle and other places, and it was necessary to cut them down and eradicate them in order to prevent future troubles. On the other hand, the court ordered the three men of Honjo Shiranaga, Soga Yushige and Omori Minori, who had only recently captured Fujioka Castle, to march north and join forces with the lord of Kurakano Castle, Nagai Masashi, to defeat the former retainers of Yarokuro Oko and the Kurakano family who were entrenched in Okari Castle. The three of them, Akiyama Dingzuna, Takai Ukin, and Asahina Shinji, who were stationed at Akigi Castle, ordered them to attack Captain Fukaya Sabei, Nakamura Isemori, and Kuwaki Hachiro of Shimana Castle, who were entrenched in Iwabi Castle. Even Nagao Keitaka, who was stationed at Nagano Hall, was arranged by the court to attack Wada Castle and Yatsu Castle, making it impossible for the Wada family to send troops to rescue Daiko Castle, Shimana Castle, and Iwabi Castle.
