In the second year of Yonglu, August 17. After capturing Shibukawa Castle, Kenshin led his army south non-stop, and along the way, he conquered several important sub-cities to the east of Minowa Castle, such as Arima Castle, Yamazida Castle, and Momoi Castle, and merged with Toshima Taiyori and Daihu Hidetsuna of Sosha Castle.

Just as the Uesugi army was gradually advancing into Minowa Castle, the territory of the Eagle Retention Nagano family was gradually occupied by the Uesugi family, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Nagano Yetsu decided to ask for help from Takeda Shingen in Kofu.

However, because Nagano Yoshitsu did not want to make progress since he sent troops to attack Nagano Yebo and capture Minowa Castle and many surrounding branch cities, he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the surrounding anti-Uesugi forces who did not save him. However, at this time, Yamamoto Kansuke, the military advisor beside Takeda Shingen, thought that the Takeda family should seize the fighter plane, and should not be unhappy about the previous events for the time being, and should send troops to rescue the Takaru Nagano family as soon as possible.

Kansuke Yamamoto analyzed Takeda Shingen as follows: "At present, the world is divided, and the Uesugi family has occupied most of the Hokuriku Province, the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto, and the Tohoku Ou countries, while the people of Ueno occupy nearly half of Ueno, and the main family occupies Kai, Suruga, Enoe, Izu Shikoku and parts of Shinano, Hida, and Mino, and the three parties have become a strong trend in the Eastern Province. The Uesugi family sent troops to attack the Ueno generals such as the Takaru Nagano family, the Takada family, and the Go-Hiroke family, and fought from the end of June until the middle of August. The Uesugi army is increasing day by day, but the territory of the Ueno generals is getting smaller and smaller, the Uesugi family is strong and the Ueno generals are weak, and the Ueno generals will definitely not be able to support it without the help of reinforcements. Once the Ueno clan is defeated, the Takeda family will not be able to survive alone. Otherwise, after resolving differences and dissatisfaction, he quickly sent troops to support the Ueno generals. The main family will attack the outside, and the Ueno generals will attack the inside, and the Uesugi family will definitely be defeated. Wait until the Uesugi family exits Ueno, and then observe the movement and situation in Ueno. If you can take advantage of the situation to capture the country of Ueno, combine the forces of the generals of Ueno, and take advantage of the fatigue of the Uesugi army, the Kanto countries will be at your fingertips! ”

Kansuke Yamamoto's analysis of the situation at this time can be said to be to the point and to the point. And it's practical for the Takeda family. At present, the Uesugi family is prosperous, and neither the Takeda family nor the surrounding daimyo and countryman lords are powerless to confront the Uesugi family, and only by maintaining the power of some countrymen lords in Ueno can the Takeda family continue to survive. After listening to Yamamoto Kansuke's advice, Takeda Shingen immediately sent someone to order Takeda Katsuyori and other generals stationed in Nishi-Azuma Prefecture to lead troops to support Nagano Yoshi-Uetsu, Urano Shigenari, Takada Shigerori and other Nishi-Ueno generals.

At the same time, generals such as Tao Qingxian, Koyama Asayuki, Naito Masatyo, Saito Michizo, Nambada Hiroyoshi, and Miyagi Masayasu had already led an army of 20,000 troops into Higashi-Ueno Nitta-gun, and temporarily rested on the spot, and the situation became favorable for the Uesugi family (which was only advantageous in Ueno).

At the same time that the 20,000 Uesugi army entered Higashi-Ueno Kinta County, bad news reached Hirai Castle - Takeda Shingen was about to lead his army north. The court had no choice but to immediately gather some retainers to discuss the matter.

"My lord, the generals on Okushinano's side, Saito Shimono Mamoru and others only have more than 3,000 troops, how can they resist the army of the Takeda family?" Shirakura Gozaemon was shocked to hear the news announced by the Asada.

"The Takeda family's move is nothing more than a bluff. Takeda Daizen was only to force Guan Lingdian to quickly lead the army to evacuate Ueno and return to Echigo to set up defenses, and he did not really plan to send troops to attack Okushinano again. Yamazaki said after smiling. He knew very well that the current Takeda family did not have so many troops to wear and tear, and Takeda Shingen sent troops to Okushinano just for show.

"Yes, that's good. The family still has an army of 15,000 Chen soldiers in Xiangshu (Sagami country), and no matter how generous Takeda Daishan is, he will not abandon Suruga, Izu, Enoe, and Kai Shikoku. Chao Ding nodded.

"Takeda Daizen's dispatch of troops this time is just to cover Takeda Shiro Katsuyori in Nishi-Azuma Prefecture. Once the Nishi-Ueno clan such as the Takaro Nagano family, the Urano family, the Go-Hiro family, the Takada family, and the Ita family are destroyed by the main family, then the Kita-Shinano Saku-gun, Ko-gun and other places will be invaded by the main family again, and in the long run, the wealthy families of the Northern Shinano family will fall to the main family. These are things that Takeda Daizen doesn't want to see. Hidesen Yamazaki analyzed it further.

"Lord, now that our army has an absolute advantage over the generals of Nishiueno, please order the final attack as soon as possible!" Toshimitsu Anazawa on the side was a little impatient.

"Next, move the camp to the siege. He ordered Nagao Saemon Keitaka to take the lead and immediately launched an attack on the remnants of the Wada clan entrenched in Yatsu Castle. If he achieves amazing results, then I will make him the son-in-law of Naoe Yamatomori. Chao Ding felt that this deal was not a loss. On the one hand, Naoe Keitsuna has two daughters, and on the other hand, Nagao Keitaka is still in command of many ronins of the head office Nagao family and the Shirai Nagao family, and it is just when they show loyalty to the Uesugi family.

"My lord, it's already a great grace for you to let Nagaozaemon commander the head office of the head office and the ronin of the Shirai Nagao family, why do you want him to be the son-in-law of Naoe Yamatomori, an important minister under the command of the Commander's Palace?" Hidesen Yamazaki didn't know that Asadaku was doing this.

"Wouldn't it be nice to use the people of Ueno to attack the people of Ueno who had fallen to the Takeda family? He wants to restore his family name, and I want to pacify Ueno quickly, and everyone takes what they need. Chao Ding said after smiling.

"The lord is wise." Yamazaki Hidesen didn't say anything more after listening to Asada's words.

"Ordered Wada Ishimi Mamoru and Shibata Shibata to assist Nagaozaemon, and Honjo Musashisuke and others went to attack Lima Castle, Uchiko Mori Castle and other southern branch cities of Minowa Castle." Asadachi doesn't want to give Nagano any respite right now.

Before dawn the next day, Nagao Keitaka and Wada Yoshitsune and Shibata Yukinari led 400 troops to the castle of Yatsu.

In order to break the morale and will of the defenders in Yatsu Castle as soon as possible, Wada Yoshitsune took the initiative to walk in front of the Uesugi army and took off his helmet and shouted to Yatsu Castle, "Don't you know me?!" Dare to continue to fight against the Uesugi family! Surrendering the Uesugi family as soon as possible can save their lives, and those who obtain the head of the Wada military department can receive a heavy reward from the town government! ”

With this shout from Wada Yoshitsune, the defenders in Yatsu Castle instantly had no intention of fighting. Many Wada soldiers killed the samurai one after another, opened the city gates and surrendered to the Uesugi army. And Nagao Keitaka and the others immediately seized this good opportunity and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Yatsu Castle. When Wada Captain and Wada Saemon saw that they could not resist it, they immediately abandoned the castle and fled, and in the process of fleeing to Yama Castle, they were captured by Honjo Shigeraga under the command of Honjo Shigeraga and then taken to Hirai Castle by Honjo Shigecho's order. And Wada Nobukatsu, who was sick in bed, was assassinated by his own trusted samurai, and the head was sent to Hirai Castle soon after. In this way, the Ueno famous family and the Drip Stream clan of the Tian clan were completely severed.

In order to break the predicament, Nagano Yetsu, who was in charge of Minowa Castle, had to order the lord of Eagle's Nest Castle, Ita Mitsukei, to attack Anzhong Castle to relieve the pressure on the Anaka family, the Takada family, and the Hou Xian family.

However, before Ida Mitsukei could lead his army to Anchu Castle, Takayama Mitsushige guided Uesugi generals such as Kohata Keitasa, Ayukawa Kiyonaga, and Oishi Tsunagen to bypass Takada Castle's path through Mt. Tenno, and capture Tennoyama Castle in one fell swoop. The Uesugi army fought to kill the governor of the Anzhong family, Anzhong Nagafan (Takada Shigerai's brother-in-law), more than a dozen retainers, and more than 100 city soldiers.

In order to completely isolate the Go-Idle family and the Takada family, the Asadachi will be the defender of the Go-Idle Castle and the Go-Idle Yataro. Asahi Yataro promised that as long as he killed the lord of Goxian Castle, Gokan Zongfan, then he would be the lord of a castle recognized by the Kanto Governor and Ueno Guardian, the head of the Goxian clan and the governor of the Goxian family.

Go-Xian Yataro knows that the current Go-Hiroshi is already in a precarious state, and since Takayama Mitsushige killed Go-Kan Nobuhisa (Go-Kan Nobu-Jun's third son) and took the initiative to sacrifice Miyazaki Castle, it was only a matter of time before Go-Kan was destroyed by the Uesugi army. Rather than ending up in defeat and death in the end, it is better to take the initiative to kill the most powerful martial artist in the Hou Xian family, Hou Xian Zongfan (the lord of the sixty horseed big body city) in exchange for the reward of the Uesugi family.

On August 18, when Matsui Tian Castle Lord Sister Ao Masakatsu led his army to the outside of Gokan Castle, he found that Gokan Yataro had already carried the head of Gokan Sofan and had been waiting outside the gate of Gokan Castle for a long time with hundreds of defenders. Because Hou Xian Zongfan is mean and unkind on weekdays, his retainers are dissatisfied with him. Therefore, Gokan Yataro did not spend much effort to kill Gokan Sofan and took the sixty samurai under his command for his own use.
