In the second year of Eiroku, on December 30, Mutsu Province and Hegun-gun's two sub-castles.

Seeing that the Uesugi army was strong, Waga Yoshikatsu was forced to abandon a large number of castle soldiers in Waga County, and ordered his retainers Coal Sun Jiyoshi, Ohara Toji (Imperial Castle Commandery), Metropolitan Bird Flat Horse Genbo (Imperial Castle Commander), Neko Uchizosuke (Imperial Castle Commandery), Poison Sawa Yoriichi (Waga Family's Kinko), Umezawa Konsuke (Imperial Castle Commander), Iwasaki Shogun, Ota Yoshikatsu (Coal Sun Clan), Yaegashi Genzo (Imperial Castle Commander), Kunto Samori (Imperial Castle Commander) and others each led their troops into the Niko Castle Cage Castle. However, even so, there were only more than 400 city soldiers and more than 600 people in Erzi City to defend the city. At the same time, Kaga Yoshikatsu also sent a young assistant of the Shosuke of the Fishing Tribes of the Heavy Minister to the Barnyard House to ask for reinforcements.

However, at this moment, the important retainer of the Waga family, Oniyanagi Hyogotou (the Imperial Family), suggested to Waga Yoshikatsu that he surrender to the southern family in exchange for reinforcements and protection from the southern family, so that he could protect his family's name and most of the territory. And the suggestion of the head of the ghost willow Hyogo has also been approved by many important ministers of the He family. Rather than being destroyed by the Uesugi army, it is better to fall to the southern family, and still keep the name of the family and most of the territory, so why not.

However, Kazuga Yoshikatsu did not immediately reply to the first class of Oniyanagi Hyogo, he didn't want to rush to the doctor in a hurry. Kazuga Yoshikatsu first dispatched all the former retainers of the Kasai family and the Jiang Thorn family who had defected to him to their old domains, and asked them to immediately incite a beating. Once the former retainers of the Kasai family and the Ezawa family succeeded in inciting a rebellion that affected several counties such as Ezashi-gun, Iwai-gun, and Gashizawa-gun, then coupled with factors such as heavy snow closing the mountains and cutting off the back road, the generals of the Uesugi family, such as Mori Keihiro, had to quickly retreat and return to the old leaders of the Kasai family and the Ezawa family to pacify the rebellion. In this way, the He family has enough time to recuperate and make plans for the next step.

At the same time, in the Uesugi army outside the castle of the second son, Mori Keihiro learned that the Takasuidaji Spo family intended to surrender to the Uesugi family. Immediately, Mori Keihiro ordered Saito Toshishi to lead an army of 1,000 to Takasui Temple Castle to stabilize the situation and assist Spo Quanzhen in guarding the Spo Territory of Takasui Temple. Because Maori Jingguang still has some understanding of the interior of the Gaoshui Temple Sibo family, a considerable number of retainers within the Gaoshui Temple Sibo family are turned to the southern family, and Nanfang Qingzheng is worried about the Gaoshui Temple Sibo Collar is not a day or two. Even Liang Tian Quantai, the elder of the Sibo family of Gaoshui Temple, has been an internal member of the southern family for a long time, not to mention other retainers and the lords of the countrymen under his banner.

On the other hand, in order to ensure the safety of the grain route, Mori Keihiro had the third son of the former Ufu Fang Hiromoto, Ufu Fang Hirohisa, succeed him as the governor of the Ufu Fang family and served as the head of the West Wind Pavilion, and the Tochiuchi Military Department served as the rear commander of Ufu Fang Hirohisa. Subsequently, Maori Jingguang left Maori Gaozheng, Maori Gaoding, and 1,000 troops in Danze County and Jiangthorn County to garrison them, and strictly prevented the former ministers of Kasai and Jiangthorn County from instigating it. After everything was ready, Maori Jingguang led 8,000 troops north to invade Hega County.

He Yoshikatsu sent the former ministers of the Kasai family and the Eji family on the front foot, and when they arrived at their old domain, they were captured by the army led by the two men of Mori Takamasa and Mori Takatsu. Originally, he Yoshikatsu intended to incite a stir in important places such as Iwatani Hall Castle, Maezawa Castle, Renshou Castle, and Shimogawara Castle to attract the attention of Mori Keihiro and other generals, but this plan was bankrupt because the executors were all arrested. The former retainers of the Kasai family and the Ezashi family, Ansu Shu, Shimogawara Genbo, Heitomo Tsune, Kagawa Yorika, Chida Toyogo Mamoru and others were all beheaded for public display.

After that, Mori Keihiro did not intend to give Waga Yoshikatsu a chance to surrender, so he immediately ordered a fierce attack on Erzi Castle.

Kazuka Yoshikatsu, Poison Ze Raiichi, Oniyanagi Hyogotou, Coal Sun Jiyoshi, and Ohara Toji in the Niko Castle did not expect that the Uesugi army would launch a fierce attack on the Niko Castle so quickly, and there was a riot in the city for a while. Mori Keihiro immediately shouted to boost morale, and soon the Uesugi army broke through the warp wheels of Minami no Maru, Nishi no Maru, Higashi no Maru, and Ni no Maru in Futako Castle and marched towards Honmaru. After the exhausted Hehe Yoshisheng had nothing to do, and after the donkey skills were exhausted, he could only commit suicide by cutting his stomach in the pill with a family member.

Although he and the retainers of the He family resisted desperately, they were still unable to resist the attack of the Uesugi army like a tide. In less than two hours, Futako Castle was captured by the Uesugi army. Yoshikatsu Waga and Yorisai Waga (Goimon), Waga Tadashi (Goimon), Waga Harayasu (Goyimen), Kiyanagi Morimasa (Goichi), Onyanagi Hyogotou, Coal Sun Jiyoshi, Ohara Toji, Totori Heima Genbo, Neko Uchizosuke, Tozawa Raiichi, Umezawa Konsuke, Iwasaki Shogun, Ota Yoshikatsu, Yaegashi Genzo and other relatives, genealogy retainers, and foreign retainers were all defeated and killed. As a local daimyo of Mutsu and He-gun, the lord and the He family did not wait for reinforcements from the barnyard family, and the army was wiped out.

In order to deal with the imminent army of the southern family, Mori Keihiro quickly ordered Fukuchi Nobutoshi to enter Poison Castle, Hamada Hirotsuna to enter Iwasaki Castle, and Motoyoshi Shigetsu to enter Ediashi Castle. And Mori Jingguang himself was sitting in the original Waga family's original base of the two sub-castles, and sent people to Onodera's house, hoping that the Onodera family could send troops to support him.

Onodera Yoshimichi was refreshed, and directly agreed, and sent the important minister Hachibai Michi to lead 3,000 troops into Waga County to assist the Uesugi army.

In the third year of Yonglu, on the second day of the first month. It was only when Minami Harumasa managed to gather 4,000 troops and traveled south to Ichikai Castle that he learned that the Uesugi army numbered at least tens of thousands, and that he had also received the assistance of a large number of Chutsu Okutoku lords. At this time, Nanfang Qingzheng began to be embarrassed, and some could not advance or retreat. Although the Uesugi army fought in Hokurichi and was not familiar with the time and geography of Hokurichi, the number of Uesugi troops alone made the southern Harusei dare not act recklessly.

Just when Nanbu Harumasa was hesitating, the important ministers of the Takasui Temple Spo family, Ryoda Kantai, Iwashimizu Yoshiyoshi, and Takada Yasumi (Yagoro Kunohe, Yasumi Nakano, and the son-in-law of Spo Kanma) rebelled in Iwashimizu Castle, Mizenkan, and Tamayama Castle in response to the actions of the Nanbu family.

Nanbu Harumasa once threatened: "Where the crescent moon shines, the territory of the southern family cannot be shaken." "The twenty-four generations of the Southern Clan's Governor, Southern Harusa, boasted to the world about the strength of the Southern Clan. Indeed, since Minami Harumasa succeeded him as the governor of the Mikunohe Nanbu family, with the assistance of his uncle Ishikawa Takanobu and his family member Masashi Kudo, he mediated the civil strife in the eight families, defeated the Nanaoka Kitabatake clan, and oppressed the Takamizuji Spo clan, the governor of Oshu, and ruled almost all of Hokuriku. With such an achievement, it is no wonder that he Nanbu Qingzheng can make such wild words. However, in the first month of the third year of Eiroku, two daimyo have challenged the myth of the new moon, the Uesugi family and the Hiyama Yasuto family.

In January of the third year of Eiroku, Ando Aiji, the governor of the Ando clan of Homadehayama Kitade, took advantage of the southern Harumasa to lead his army southward with the intention of fighting with the Uesugi family for several counties such as Waga-gun, Iwate-gun, Barnyard Kan-gun, and Eko-gun, and began his long-prepared invasion of Antlers County, and thus opened the prelude to the long-standing battle for antlers between the Anto clan and the Nanbu clan.

Of course, Anton Aiji has not forgotten the Uesugi family at this moment, nor has he forgotten the Asada. He immediately sent his retainer Otaka Mitsutaka (a retainer who had negotiated with the southern family) to Kawagoe Castle with gifts including ten swords, one hundred taels of gold, and two famous horses, to congratulate Asadachi on the New Year, and to explain to Asadachi that the previous invasion of the three counties of Shonai by the Minato family had nothing to do with the Hiyama Anto family. Anton Aiki hopes to exchange this for a truce between the Hiyama Andong family and the Uesugi family, even if he terminates the offensive and defensive alliance with the Tozawa family and Yuri's twelve first forces.

Located at the junction of the Southern and Asa Clans, Antlers is an area rich in mining and agricultural resources, and it is also a long-coveted target of the Quartet forces. In desperation, the terrain here is long and narrow and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is the bridgehead of the southern family - Changniucheng to sit in the formation, so that although they have the heart of coveting but have no power to rob, although there are often small forces to attack and disturb, most of them are not painful, but it has fulfilled the reputation of "one city and one museum" here.

However, Anton Aiji doesn't think so. Since Ai Ji succeeded the family governor, the power of the Hiyama Andong family has reached an unprecedented peak. After several generations of governors, Minato Port has become one of the major trading ports in eastern Japan and the center of northern trade. Through trade with Ezo, Mingguo, Joseon, and other countries, the Hiyama Anto family amassed a great deal of wealth. At the same time, through trade with daimyo and Japanese lords such as the Onodera family, the Tozawa family, and the Toshima family in the inland region, he collected a large number of souvenirs and famous horses from the Tohoku region. In addition, he also formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Tozawa family, Yuri Twelve and other forces, and traded with the Uesugi family through water trade. However, the most significant thing was to take advantage of the discord within the Asari family, and at the end of December of the second year of Eiroku, he broke through the last stronghold of Asari Noriyu, Ogio Nagaoka Castle, and supported Asari Noriyu's younger brother Asari Katsuyori as the governor of the Asari family to puppet the Asari family. Asari was forced to flee alone to seek refuge in Onodera's house.
