In the fourth year of Yonglu, March 5. The court sent important ministers Momoi Yoshitaka, Soga Yushige, Hirosawa Tadanobu, Omori Fujiyori, Omori Minori and others to lead 10,000 troops to stay in Kasugayama Castle, Takada Castle and other important towns in the eastern neck of the county; The other 10,000 troops were led by Shibata Kiyomasa, Meio Masakatsu, Tobiro Tomodada, Nagai Masami, Itaya Mitsuyin, Toshima Takuyori and others, and were stationed in Nechi Castle, Fudoyama Castle and other important towns in the western neck of the city and county to strictly prevent the Takeda army from sneak attack. And Chao Ding himself led more than 8,000 troops and 10,000 conscripted troops to enter Oshinano.

At this time, there was no trace of the Takeda Army in the area of Okushino Kawanakajima and Zenko-terei, only in Kaizu Castle on the bank of the Chikuma River in the southeast of Kawanakajima, there were Koyamada Torami (Kaizu Castle Castle Dai, the elders of the spectrum family, formerly known as Uehara Igamaru Mamoru), Kohata Toramori (Kohata Torama, Koyamada Toramitsu Deputy General), Kohata Masamori (Kaizu Castle Castle, son of Kohata Toramori), Kohata Mitsumori (Kohata Toramori's brother, Kohata Torama, Kohata Sadacho, Kohata Shotora, Kaizu Castle Castle), Koyamada Masatsu (Koyamada Toramitsu's son), Ichikawa Shocho (Shogun Ashigaru), Ichikawa Iemitsu (son of Ichikawa Shocho), Hara and Sozaemon (in charge of guarding Kaizu Castle Ninomaru), Tarogawa Kinmasa (Tarokawa Masakin, Tarokawa Masamoto, Wakanomiya Castle Lord, Okushino Wealthy Family, Former Takanashi Masanori's Wealthy Family) and others were stationed.

On March 10, after converging with the 40,000-strong army led by Kenshin, a military council was held in Iiyama Castle.

"Imperial House Palace, Fujiwara Town General Hall Mingjian, now the Takeda Army only has more than 1,000 defenders in Haijin City, this is a godsend for the family, I will first capture Haijin City, and give Takeda Shingen a dismount!" Saito Asanobu, who had guarded Okushinano for many years, took the lead in speaking to Kenshin and Asada.

"If Takeda Shingen would have done this, but I wouldn't. If our army had taken Kaizu Castle before the Takeda army had reached the area around Kawanaka Island, it would have been a despicable tactic, and I was prepared to wait until the Takeda army had merged with the defenders in Kaizu Castle before fighting a decisive battle with the Takeda army. Kenshin shook his head after listening to Saito's words.

It was precisely because he saw that Goya Xingden would not take the initiative to attack Kaizu Castle, so he left thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people such as Oyamada Beichu Mamoru, Koyamada Suga Emon Captain, Ohattakeyama Castle Mamoru Ichikawa, Ichikawa Shichiro Uemon Lieutenant, Taro Kawa Uemon Lieutenant, Hara and Sozaemon and other thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people stationed in the isolated city of Kaizu Castle. Don't you think Takeda Shingen is cunning and hateful?! Naoe Keixuna followed Saito Asanobu and said to Kenshin.

"I'm not going to do that anyway. I want to fight to the death with Takeda Shingen to see who kills the deer. If I'm not acting right, even if I win, Takeda Shingen will just leave someone to talk to, and I don't like that. What's more, the generals of Kaizu Castle such as Oyamada Bichumoru, Ohattakeyama Castle Mori, and Kohata Shimono Mamoru are old after all, and they are still trapped in a lonely city, and in the face of their own army, wouldn't they be able to show their courage? I want to let them go and fulfill their ambitions. "Kenshin doesn't intend to take advantage of the fact that he has the right side of the army to attack Haijin Castle.

"What Goya Xingden said is extremely true, and I, the Bandong warriors, also very much agree with the approach of Goya Xingden." At this time, Chao Ding spoke in favor of the practice of humility. He felt that Haijin Castle was strong, even if there were only more than a thousand defenders in the city and some old, weak, sick and disabled people, it was still not possible to capture it overnight, if when Takeda Shingen's reinforcements arrived, then the siege troops sent would inevitably be attacked from both sides, and finally lose their troops in vain.

"Takeda Shingen, this person is insidious and cunning, and the relationship between the family and the shogunate is provoked by this person! So that the service of the Imperial House is now completely deprived! Kakizaki Keike was furious at the thought of what Takeda Shingen had done.

"That's it, isn't it a service? Kakizaki and Izumi Shouden don't have to worry too much, but now looking at the entire Eastern Province, which of the daimyo are truly loyal to the shogunate? Serving is not the most important thing for a samurai. "Usami Dingmi, however, sees it very lightly, and doesn't care whether he has the shogunate or not.

"Usami Suruga Mamoru said that although the position we are waiting for is gone, it doesn't have much impact on the family. If you are too impetuous, how can you accomplish anything? Chao Ding nodded and said.

"It's a shame for us!" Kakizaki Keike and Uesugi Keimitsu were very dissatisfied with what the shogunate had done, and not only was they deprived of the guardian position granted by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but they were also deprived of their own sovereign duties.

"If a man does not disgrace himself, who can disgrace himself?" Chao Ding said calmly.

"What General Fujiwara said is very true, Izumi Mamoru and Shiro, you should take fame and fortune lightly." Qian Xin nodded after listening to Chao Ding's words.

"Since Sanzhu first controlled the Gyeonggi Kingdom and became the people of the world, the world has been staggered with thunder and lightning, the valleys are staggered, and the ups and downs of the daimyo in various places are like carp crossing the river, and there is no one who has really established a foundation and is as stable as a rock. Why? The reason is that too much attention is paid to false fame and underestimation of strength. Let's imagine that if the late Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the late Kyoshi Gongfang, was not in a hurry to make enemies with the Miyoshi Sanzhong, Matsunaga Danmasa and other powerful ministers of the Miyoshi family, but vigorously purged the powerful daimyo in the territory and secretly contacted various parts of Gyeonggi, and called on the world to join forces to crusade against the Miyoshi family with the daimyo such as Wakasa Takeda and Isshiki, then if the connivance could not immediately destroy the Miyoshi family, how could he die quickly and die without a place to be buried? Although Oda Danmasa and Asai Bizen Mamoru and other generals sent troops to Sannaku, after the new Kyoshi Gongfang succeeded to the position of general, the powerful daimyo in all parts of Gyeonggi did not devote themselves to purging the territory and accumulating strength, but instead devoted themselves to fighting for power and fame, so that the Miyoshi Sanzhong and others were still able to enter and exit the land of Gyeonggi several countries smoothly. At this point, the generals of Gyeonggi still did not change their ways, and they were still only committed to drumming up the momentum. The general trend of the world, the retreat is defeated, and the pragmatic is prosperous. Seeing that Kakizaki Keika and the others had not yet understood their intentions, Asadaki further persuaded him.

"The meaning of the Fujiwara Town General Hall is that we are not pragmatic?" Kakizaki Keike and Uesugi Keimitsu asked in unison.

"Not bad. The so-called prestige is originally more virtual and less real. At present, we cannot blindly indulge in the division of power between officials and lords, and try to fight. At this time, it is the right way to gain insight into the key points, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity. Just like Oda Danmasa. "Towards the fixed point.

"Want to learn from him?!" Kakizaki Keijia and others were all surprised.

"The ruler is short, and the inch is long. His father, Oda Mikawa Nobuhide, is the identity of a master of the family, Oda Danmasa is more in the ancestral industry is narrow, born under the situation of meritocracy, ninjas, ronin, etc., as long as there is a skill, can become the lord of a city under his command, and its main force is mostly based on the two wealthy families of Ono as the axis. However, it is this kind of person who can gradually occupy a place when the swarm of heroes rises, and his name is becoming more and more prominent, and now he can occupy several countries and become a powerful name, shouldn't we pay attention to it? Chao Ding said meaningfully.

"Taking advantage of the chaos in Nongzhou, taking advantage of the weakness to occupy most of Nongzhou, bullying the weak and small countrymen of Shizhou, and the daimyo to seize a place in Shizhou, how is such a person different from Takeda Shingen?" Kakizaki Keijia looked down on Oda Nobunaga's way of seizing the surrounding area.

The fundamental reason for this is that the Oda family has always been committed to expanding their strength, rather than competing for the current name, which is why Oda Danmasa refused to accept the important positions of deputy general, governor, deputy governor, and guardian of the Gyeonggi countries granted by the new Kyogong Minister. Although the strength of the Oda family is not strong compared to the powerful daimyo such as Takeda, Asakura, and Mori, it has been able to hold out in dozens of battles, large and small, and instead of collapsing, its strength is increasing day by day. This is not something that just a treacherous and cunning person can do. Chao Ding said after a sigh.

"The meaning of the Fujiwara Town General Hall is that the Oda family has secretly accumulated strength before sending troops to Shangluo?" Uesugi Keimitsu asked, as if he didn't understand.

"Not bad. If Oda Danmasa really wants to compete with the powerful daimyo for false fame, then the prestige and fame of the new Kyogong Kamiraku as the general of the Zhengyi is the greatest. However, after Oda Danmasa completed this, he quickly withdrew his troops from Gyeonggi and returned to the land of Ono. It is called to crusade against the wealthy clan of the Kitabatake clan of Seshu Taishou, but it is really to seize the time to accumulate strength. Oda Dan is retreating eastward, why not join forces with the Ebei Asai clan to station in Jiangnan, but return to Ono Land? The root of this is undoubtedly the accumulation of strength in secret, without being noticed by all parties. Oda's heart is correct, you can't ignore it! "In the heart of the Asada, the biggest enemy is still Oda Nobunaga, not Takeda Shingen.

"Listening to the words of Fujiwara Town Shogun, it is better than reading decades of books! I've forgotten my roots! Kakizaki Keijia said ashamedly.

"Kakizaki and Izumi Mori have a good understanding, and the country of California is extremely important to the Uesugi family, which is related to whether the Uesugi family can smoothly send troops from Hokuriku Province to Shangluo to assist the Jinggong Qingjun side in the future." Chao Ding nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes! At that time, I hope that the Imperial House and the Fujiwara Town Shoden will be able to hand over the position of pioneer to my Kakizaki family. "Kakizaki Keijia intends to build up more exploits when the Uesugi family sends troops to Kamiluo.

"Yes, that's inevitable." Chao Ding said with a smile.
