On June 5 of the first year of Eiroku, Toshimitsu Anazawa led an army to raid Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachimangu Palace by sea, and the Kamakura Gongfang Ashikaga Yoshiji and his main room Jokoin Temple, as well as the Kamakura Ashikaga retainers Toyozen Mori and Matsuda Yajiro were killed. Kamakura Mansion was burned down by the samurai and ashigaru under the command of Toshimitsu Anazawa. In particular, it includes the reconstruction and renovation of Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine, which has not been around for more than 30 years.

The last Furukawa Gongkata and the new Kamakura Duke's Ashikaga Yoshiji was killed, and he had no sons-in-law, which means that the Kanto Gongkata officially disappeared after his death. On the other hand, the centuries-old hatred between the Kanto Governor and the Kanto Princes also died out. The Eight Kingdoms of the Kwantung region are now left with the Kanto Domain, and the nominal master, the Kanto Prince, has been lost.

However, there is one son of the Furukawa Gongkata Ashikaga Haru clan that is still alive, and that is the Ashikaga Fuji clan. However, the Ashikaga Fuji clan opened the Furukawa Imperial Palace without authorization, and it has become a complicity. It is impossible for him to recover his status as a public official.

The Hojo family's royal ninjas, the Wind Demon Clan, have been lacking financial support and have been hit hard, and they have become useless. When Toshimitsu Anazawa and the others led their troops to march in the hinterland of the Hojo family, many lords were not notified.

It wasn't until the Hojo family samurai who stayed behind in Jade Rope Castle went to Kamakura that they learned a little about what had happened. In addition, the house in charge of the left-behind house took people into the Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachiman Palace, collected more than 40 corpses, and placed them side by side at the main entrance of the Hachiman Palace.

"My lord, I didn't find the head of the Gongfang Hall, probably I was taken away by the Uesugi army." A samurai ran to the back of the mansion standing in front of a headless corpse in a white hunting suit.

"Who is the general of the Uesugi army who attacked Kamakura?" Fang Fan of the Mansion moved his gaze to a female corpse next to the headless corpse, which he had seen once. Otakuma knows that she is the daughter of Hojo Shiyasu and the sister of Hojo Shimasa.

"Toshimitsu Uemon Anazawa! This person repeatedly invaded Kamakura-gun, Miura-gun, and other places and plundered the population. The warrior said through gritted teeth.

"Is that him? The garrison here in Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine could no longer continue, and even the castle town was destroyed. Move all the wounded defenders to Jade Rope Castle. "The house is really complicated, and I can't see the future of the Hojo family anymore. He once dreamed that one day he would be able to bring back his father-in-law's body from Musashi, but this dream gradually turned into a fantasy. Even after the death of the lord Hojo clan in battle, he could not take back his body or head. There are times when I feel like I'm really incompetent.

"Yes. The subordinates will go and prepare. ”

"Father-in-law, Tsunasari, and Shifangong, I can't see the future clearly, and I can't see what will happen to the Hojo family in the future. If you have the opportunity, you want to lead the troops to fight to the death with the Uesugi army! When all the subordinates around him left, he walked to the ruined Hachiman Shrine and said sadly to the remaining Buddha statue - Hachiman Bodhisattva. Over the years, his status has been continuously improved, but the burden on him has become heavier and heavier. Although the house was able to evacuate Musashi by escorting the Hojo clan, his lord Hojo clan was killed in the Musashi Plain, a foreign land. Whenever he thought of this, he felt that he should not have saved Hojo Shiyasu in the first place, and was willing to let Hojo Shigeru survive. At the very least, the Hojo clan would not have easily invaded Kamakura Prefecture if the Uesugi army was alive.

Just when Toshimitsu Anazawa led the department to turn around and clean up the Kamakura Pavilion, Asadachi was sitting leisurely in the Guidie bedroom.

"It seems that the Kanto government is finished, and in the future, whether it is the shogunate or the imperial court, they will no longer be able to directly intervene in the affairs of the Kanto." Gui Die handed a cup of tea to Chao Ding.

"yes. Ashikaga Left Horse Head Yoshishi means, the next step is to only move the Ashikaga Left Guard Governor Fuji who is still wandering around Shimono. Chao Ding calmly drank a cup of tea and remembered something, "After killing all the heirs of the Kanto Princess, the family still has to think about how to deal with the questioning of the Imperial Sect of the Kyoto Prince." ”

Although the Asadachi is still relatively optimistic about the prospects of the Kanto region at present, the encirclement network that was like an iron bucket not long ago has begun to collapse in various places. In fact, it is not worth considering how to deal with the envoys sent to Kanto by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but to find a way to sweep away all the enemies in Kanto.

"Isn't that easy? Fortunately, the Kanto Governor has not been able to deal with political affairs for a long time, which gives us the best opportunity. Guidie walked to Asada's side and sat down and continued, "The Kyo Principals are jealous and hateful, and once we concoct a letter about the collusion between Ashikaga Sama Tou and Ashikaga Sabei Governor and the intention to raise troops again in Kanto, then Kyo Shobe will not be on their side. ”

"You mean, since people die, there will be no chance to defend themselves." Asada feels that Guidie is really unfathomable, fortunately she lives in Kawagoe Castle, if she is the main room for the big fool of Owari, then he will have to be more careful with the Oda family in the future.

"Yes, people cannot be resurrected after death. We have to rush the envoy sent by the Kyoto Princesses to Kawagoe Castle before the Ashikaga Left Guard will supervise the Dharma, so that it will be even more perfect. By the way, the Ashikaga Nagao family, the Numata family, the Hojo family, and even the Takeda family were also added to the list of intentions to respond. Only in this way can the Kyo-gong side let the Uesugi family do what they did in the eastern country. After a pause, Gui Die continued, "You also have a 'Sagami Guardian' position, and the Hojo family is equivalent to a larger wealthy family, and you didn't give them the privilege of 'guarding in'. The Uesugi family's actions to enter Sagami were all reasonable, and they responded to the envoys of the Kyoto government on the grounds of 'land seizure' and 'anti-theft'. ”

After Guidie finished speaking, she couldn't help but hide her face with her sleeves and began to laugh, she didn't have to care about anything else at all. She calculated that the humble letter who hated strategy and strategy could not be a director, so she took advantage of this time period to make suggestions.

"It's a pity that you're not a man, Ling Zun's wisdom and methods have been inherited by you." Chao Ding felt that it was a pity that Gui Die was not a man, otherwise he would have been the lord of a city and a country a long time ago.

"What if it's not a man? The wars, status, and territorial disputes between your men are too tiresome, at least now the concubine is still living happily in the city, and there is no intrigue in Mino. After Guidie finished speaking, she put away her smile, and she thought of her brother Saito Yoshiryu beheading his two younger brothers who were not yet in the Yuan costume for the position of the lord of the country, and almost took his father Saito Michizo.

"Yes, speaking of Mino, one day I will let Ling Zun and you go back in style." Chao Ding poked Gui Die's forehead, but he didn't care about the dawn and pressed Gui Die under him. Gui Die did not resist, and the two had a yin and yang intercourse and a joy of fish and water in the morning.

At the same time, Hojo Yasumoto, who had just entered Huaidao Castle, had not yet warmed up Maza, and a samurai under his command came to report.

"My lord! Big things are not good! Uesugi ... Uesugi Army is here! A samurai dressed in black lacquer stumbling into the Ohiro room.

"I've expected this for a long time, the Uesugi Army is from Okazaki Castle." Hojo Yasumoto was very confident in his opinion, and he felt that except for the attack from Okazaki Castle in the northwest, unless the Uesugi army was a divine soldier, it would be impossible for it to appear from other places.

"The Uesugi army is not coming from Okazaki Castle, but from the direction of Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine!" The samurai immediately shook his head.

"What do you say?! From Kamakura? Hojo Yasumoto couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes!"

"Kamakura Tsuruoka Hachimangu Palace? Are you sure you read that right? Hojo Yasumoto immediately left Maza, ran directly to the samurai, grabbed him by the collar and asked.

"Yes, the villain read that right! Ashikaga Left Horse Head Hall has been killed in battle! The samurai told a message about the explosion by the way. This made the originally quiet Dahiroma boil instantly.

"Ashikaga Left Horse Head Hall is in trouble!"

"If the Uesugi army is from Kamakura-gun, then our army will be surrounded!"

"There are thousands of Uesugi troops in the northwest, and there are still an unknown number of Uesugi troops in the east at the moment・・・・・・"

The samurai who sat in the large room whispered. This is not a joke after all, whether it is the Shanjun army along the way, there are more than the jade rope armies in the city. If a decision had not been made earlier, the more than 900 people in the city would have been unable to escape.

"Be quiet!" Hojo Yasumoto immediately returned to the main seat and sat down, and picked up his folding fan and knocked the support table beside him.

"My lord, the difference between the strength of the enemy and me is too great!"

"Yes! Now the only way to do this is to immediately break through to Odawara Castle! ”

"My lord, retreat! There are only more than 100 defenders in Jade Rope Castle, and if it is broken by the Uesugi army, then the Saemon Daifuden Hall will be in danger! ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency, please decide!"

・・・・・・

Hojo Yasumoto originally wanted to make the samurai of the Jade Rope crowd quiet, but he didn't expect the crowd to be so excited that he couldn't stop them immediately. And the jade rope warriors sitting in the large room are more excited than the other, but their age is younger than the other.

Most of the ancestors, fathers, and brothers of these jade rope clans were killed in the battle with the Uesugi family or committed suicide on the spot, and only a few returned to Sagami. Most of the surviving warriors of the older generation of jade ropes were reluctant to leave the Hojo family, and preferred to return to the countryside to farm. The samurai who are still in the Jade Rope Hojo family know very well that the current Uesugi family is no longer the Uesugi family that was slaughtered by others. The sleeping tiger will eventually wake up.

"・・・・・・" Hojo Yasumoto suddenly ran out of ideas, he looked at the samurai below who did not have a single person to fight, and he couldn't help but have doubts about his future. That wasn't what he was supposed to think about right now, though.

At this moment, there are only two options in front of Hojo Yasumoto: first, abandon the city and break through; 2. Cage Castle is holding on to the ground and waiting for reinforcements from Odawara Castle.
