Chapter 342: Tozawa Sues for Peace

At the same time that Takeda Shingen Chen soldiers were touching the border between the two countries, the court was not to be outdone, and immediately mobilized more than 6,000 Chen soldiers stationed around Kawayue Castle to the border of Musashi and Kai, and was ready to attack Kai at any time.

At this moment, in Echigo, Echichu, Kanto Eight Kingdoms, Ou and other places, there are enemies of humility and determination in all directions. In the west, there are Shiina families, former retainers of the Jimbo family, and Kaga has always been a monk; To the north, there are the former retainers of the Sado Honma family; To the east, there are rival daimyo who are at war, such as the Nanbu family and the Tozawa family; To the south, there were also hostile forces such as Takeda Shingen and Odawara's former retainers of the Ise family, and Kenshin and Asadachi were in a network of encirclement and were embattled.

Being in Kyoto, he didn't know much about the situation in the eastern country, and he was on the side of the Takeda family, and the secretary even said that Kenshin and Asadachi were fighting the world with two castles (Kasugayama Castle and Kawagoe Castle), and the hostile forces around them couldn't wait to prepare to use force. Previously, Nagao Fujikei occupied Takajo and other places after Central Echisu to cause rebellion, and the daimyo such as Takeda Shingen, Anton Aiji, and Nanbu Harumasa who were close to the Uesugi family were inclined to reinforcements (wind news). At the same time, Takeda Shingen sent troops to attack Iiyama Castle in Kita-Shinano, and even divided his troops to attack Sekiyama New Town in Echigo; The Shiina family and the former retainers of the Jimbo family all joined forces with Shingen to raise troops to rebel, waiting for the opportunity to prepare to attack Echigo; Sanada Yutaka, Yashiro Masakuni, Suda Nobumasa (Suda's son of Nobuyo, who followed the Uesugi family from his brother Suda Mitsukin) and other Okushinano ancestors wanted to attack Iiyama Castle's branch cities Kawashinji Castle and Echigo Uedanoso (wind news); Shotomo Soki of Kitashinano and Shimazu Nitada (120 lords of the Yamato Kunitines, lord of Naganuma Castle, and Shimazu Tadashi of one gate followed the Uesugi family) and other generals also prepared to attack Kamaharara Castle and Haneoo Castle in Nishi-Ueno (wind rumors); With the support of the Takeda family, the former retainers of the Odawara Ise family also raised troops in various parts of the country and attacked the castle soldiers of the Uesugi side in the country, intending to assist Takeda Shingen in the operation.

In the Gyeonggi and Seoguni areas, due to the fact that the ninjas of the Takeda family added fuel and vinegar, it is said that these forces almost all acted at the same time, completely surrounding Kenshin and Asada, and rushed up to prepare to act at the same time, and the Uesugi family was in a storm. In this way, many ministers in the imperial court are ready to send letters to congratulate Takeda Shingen.

However, even Takeda Shingen himself did not expect that the originally perfect encirclement would collapse due to the collapse of Anton Aiji in order to annex the Maidon family and the ability to block the Uesugi family. Subsequently, the situation in the two countries of Tohoku and Ou developed like dominoes, and the situation turned in favor of the Uesugi family.

The Tozawa family began to be overwhelmed by the Onodera family and the Ando family, and sent an envoy to Kawagoe Castle to ask for surrender and preservation of the family's name. However, due to the exhaustion of the previous war with Anton Aiji over Antler County, Nanbu Harumasa was no longer able to effectively annex the Gaoshuiji Sibo family, and only sent feelings, grain and grass and other items to the high-ranking Sibo family ministers who raised troops to respond to him, and encouraged them to persevere.

However, the court did not care at all about the movements of the Western Kingdom and Gyeonggi. Because what he needs now is to gain a foothold in the eastern country and eliminate Shangluo's worries. At the moment, his first task is to defeat the hostile forces of the two countries in the northeast, and try to win support for his daimyo or countrymen lord as much as possible, so as to reduce his own casualties and shorten the time to pacify the two countries in the northeast and kuwa.

Since Koyama Asakuki took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the edict, the court decided to allow him to make meritorious contributions when the enemy was present, and ordered him to lead 3,000 troops of Koyama to quickly enter the small machine castle in Minami Musashi to stand by.

At the same time, Chaoding also began to make adjustments to the Rokugo family, one of the seven people of Xianbei, and the Oi family, one of the twelve heads of Yuri. The purpose is to further divide and weaken the Onodera family, which is growing in power, and prevent it from becoming a major problem for the Uesugi family in Dewa.

And the governor of the Rokugo family, Rokugo Michiyuki (Rokugo Masaki, Nikaido Masaki, Nikaido Daoxing, the son of Rokugo Masato) is now following Onodera Jingdao out of Tozawa Ling. Rokusato Michiyuki and Oi Mitsuyasu (Oi Mitsuyasu, Yajima Mitsuyasu, Yajima Mitsuyasu) served as the vanguard of the Onodera army, and the main towns of the Tozawa family, such as Okoji Castle, Jinguji Castle, and Juzasawa Castle, were all captured by the Rokugo Army and the Oi Army, and the main army of Onodera Keido quickly received the castle soldiers that had been captured by the Rokugo Army and the Oi Army all the way to the rear. Onodera Keido was extremely dissatisfied with Rokugo Michiyuki and Oi Mitsuyasu, and then the two of them invariably slowed down the momentum of the attack, stopped the attack on Kakunodate Castle on the grounds that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and surrounded Kakunodate Castle in a pretended manner.

With Rokugo Michiyuki and Oi Mitsuyasu suspending their assault on Kakunokan Castle, the Tozawa family was given a little respite.

In the third year of Yonglu, March 12. Tozawa Masashige, a major retainer of the Tozawa family, first got in touch with Kawada Naga of Zhishi Prefecture, and then arrived at Kawagoe Castle with a large number of gifts, escorted by more than 100 Uesugi troops.

However, at this moment, Asadashi is discussing with his important ministers how to deal with the attack of Takeda Shingen and the people of the country in peace.

"My lord, according to the careful investigation, the ninjas of the Takeda family have entered the country of Hitachi, and they have made contact with the former retainers of the Edo family, once you mobilize the generals of Hitachi to send troops to touch each other, I am afraid it will be ······." Although Ota Shimasa has only recently been transferred to Kita-Hitachi, he still knows a little about the current form of Hitachi.

"The family needs to fortify the three kingdoms of Ueno, Musashi, and Xiangfu, and it is difficult to take care of the heads and ends with the Ueshu soldiers, Ueno generals, and Musashi generals alone. At present, we can only mobilize the military strength of Anfang, Kamizong, Shimojio, Shimono, and Hitachi generals, otherwise they will not be able to deal with the invasion of the Takeda family. Once the touch is captured by the Takeda family, then the family will never have peace. "Although Chaoding has not been too concerned about the gains and losses of one city and one pond before, but touching each other is a barrier for Musashi, and his lips are cold and his teeth are cold. Once the country is captured by Takeda Shingen, the Shinagawa Minato, which Asadachi has managed with great difficulty, will be destroyed, and the sea route will also be destroyed.

"My lord, in fact, you can besiege Wei to save Zhao, and order a brigade to attack the country of Kai, so that Dr. Takeda Dashan has to lead his army back to Kai. In this way, the family can easily pacify Sagami and Hitachi. "Yamazaki Hidesen has put forward a practical plan, after all, at this moment, the Ogiya Uesugi family simply can't transfer so many troops to garrison the three kingdoms of Musashi, Ueno, and Sagami, not to mention leaving a partial division to prepare for the invasion of Kai.

"Yamazaki Yanagisai's words are reasonable, if you don't make a decision as soon as possible, the Takeda army will invade Shangshu again." As soon as Yamazaki Hidesen's words fell, Numata Yumitsu immediately supported Yamazaki Hidesen's opinion. Because Ueno Ichikoku barely had time to recuperate, it has been invaded by the Takeda Army and often rebelled by the countrymen lords, so it can be said that there is constant gunsmoke.

"Well, Kamishu will be guarded by Numata Uenosuke and other generals, and as for the invasion of Koshu, I will order Saito Uchizosuke, Mikami Hyogo Suke, Ishimao Youmayo, Yamagami and other generals to go, and after you each return to the territory, you will strictly guard against the Takeda family's transfer of the surrounding samurai and the lords of the countrymen." Asadaki wants to take one step at a time, after all, he thinks that it is impossible for Takeda Shingen to start a decisive battle with him in Sagami.

Just as the front foot of the court ended the military discussion, the back foot Mori Katsuhiro took Tozawa Masashi to the Ohiro room. Mori Katsuhiro then handed the Tozawa family's list of gifts to Asada, allowing him to check it out. The contents of the gift list are: a horse and a white sparrow, and 30 forgings, 30 shrinks, 50 catties of red, three tiger skins, two leopards, and one red and one white orangutan skin.

"The Tozawa family is really generous, and these gifts must have taken a lot of thought from Tozawa Missile." Chao Ding said after smiling. After all, the Tozawa family is just a small daimyo, and it can be said that it took a lot of money and energy to make up these things.

"If we can keep the name of the Tozawa family, none of this is a big deal." Tozawa was lying on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

"The Tozawa family is still from the Hengwu Ping clan, and it is also one of the famous families in Yuzhou, why has it repeatedly been against the family before? Why did you think of bowing to your family now after being approached by the Onodera army? Isn't it a little late? Chao Ding said after sneering.

Due to the current busy work, there is no fixed time to rest, so I have not been able to update it in time, I hope that readers can greatly understand.
