Chapter 90: Satomi Comes

Although Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, and Asahina Shinji changed from the Imagawa family to the Uesugi family, Asadachi still didn't dare to take it lightly, and it would still be easy for the Hojo family to let the Imagawa clan really come to sleep against them. Therefore, the court will not seal their territory to the first line, but it is not a big rear.

Okabe Motoshin was sealed in Ishito Castle by the court and received 6,750 koku. Okabe Motonobu's new territory is near Ota's territory, so if something happens, he can react quickly. Moreover, Okabe Motomasa, the second son of Okabe Motonobu, became the side of the Asada. Probably because he was still obsessed with the Imagawa family, Okabe Motonobu did not let his eldest son, Okabe Mayao, abandon the partiality that the Imagawa clan gave him.

The Chaobinai Tai Dynasty was sealed in the city of Ghana by the court, and received 5,000 stone Zhixing. Although the territory of the Asahina Tai Dynasty is close to that of Okabe Motonobu, it is also close to the territory of Ota Shimasa, and Asadato has greeted Ota Shimasa and asked him to keep an eye on them. Asahina Taiki, the eldest son of Asahina Taichao, was also taken hostage to Asada's side as a side.

Asahina Shinji's new territory was sealed in Beppu Castle, and he received 6,300 koku Zhixing. His eldest son, Asahina Nobuna, stayed with him, but his second son, Asahina Motonaga, was about to become a close to Asaha as a hostage. Asahina Shinoki is the Suruga Asahina family, while Asahina Tai is the Enami Asahina family. Although the two families are branched, they have spared no effort to serve the Imagawa family.

It can be said that although Chaoding appreciates their abilities, he still doesn't worry about them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sandwiched their new territories between Honjo and Ota.

Ii Naotora got his wish and became the new side room of the court, and moved into Koshi Castle. Due to the news of the armistice between Takeda Shingen and Hojo Shiyasu, Tsunagen Oishi, Kiyoshi Kiyocho and others in Ueno are actively preparing for the war. Even Ogasawara Chotoki, Soga Yushige and others in Tamabashi Castle and Ohu Castle began to prepare and train Ashigaru. Although the forces of the Takeda family have been cleared out of Ueno, it is impossible not to prevent the Takeda Shingen army from invading Ueno.

After August, Hojo began to instruct the Izu Navy to provoke and friction with the Okamoto Navy everywhere. At this moment, Ayahime, Guidie and others set off from Wakamatsu Castle, and they were escorted by a hundred members of the Muyama Hanji team of the retainers left behind in Aizu Wakamatsu Castle.

At this moment, Satomi Yoshiyao's father and son probably also smelled the smell of gunsmoke, and they noticed that Toki Weilai and others were unusual, and some of the wealthy families in the general government began to move. Satomi Yoshihiro even moved his residence to Sakan Castle, and Kururi Castle was led by Satomi Yoshiyao.

In order to allow the Satomi family to have reinforcements after the war, Satomi Yoshiyao sent his henchman Ichikawa Gentosai as an envoy to the Uesugi family. As the guardian of Anbo, and as a daimyo under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Prefecture, he could only ask the Uesugi family to serve as reinforcements, and the closest was Uesugi Asada. The Satake family is still fighting with the wealthy clan of the South 33rd Pavilion, and it is completely impossible to send troops to the general, and if they die, they can only transport military rations and other materials by sea.

The Uesugi family's powerful retainer Yamamoto Temple is in Koganeshiro, as long as the Uesugi family can send troops to Taicheng, the capital of the general state, and after taking it, it can completely deter the Chiba family and make them dare not act rashly.

When Ichikawa Gentosai entered Kawaseki Castle on August 2, Asadachi met with him, but only with him alone in Kohiroma.

"Uesugi repairs the doctor's hall, and the foreign minister Ichikawa Gentosai comes to state the benefits and disadvantages with the Uesugi family!" Ichikawa Gentosai didn't say anything else, so he accentuated the tone of the four words that stated the benefits and harms.

"State the stakes? The Kanto Prefecture has now occupied most of Musashi Ichikoku, as well as a part of Ueno, Nasu Prefecture of Shimono, Mutsu Aizu, and a part of Shimoso. It doesn't seem like the family is in a crisis yet. He knew the current situation on the Boso Peninsula, which was about to become a powder keg, and if the Uesugi family blindly mixed it, it was very likely that they would steal chickens and rice.

"The foreign minister knows that the Kanto Governor and the Kanto Governor have combined to dominate Hokuriku Province and the Kanto and Okuwa lands, but now the Ise family is not dead, if they try in vain to capture the security of their own family, the upper domain, and the Chiba family are all ready to move, as long as Hojo Yasuichi sends troops, then they will respond immediately." Ichikawa Gentosai did not dare to speak out about the instability within the Satomi family, and if he did, it was likely that Uesugi Asadashi would refuse to send troops to help.

"The Chiba family will clean it up, but the Hojo clan is about to send troops, and if the Satomi family is not united, it is very likely that they will be defeated by the Hojo army who are united in their hearts, and it is more likely to perish." Asada knew that the Satomi family had retainers such as Toki Ryori who had been repeatedly defecting, so it was not unity at all.

"But the family has always been subordinate to the Kanto family, and if the Uesugi family doesn't help at this time, once the family is destroyed, the Uesugi family will be counterattacked by the Ise family. At that time, the Uesugi family was lonely! Ichikawa Gentosai is quite right, and this is indeed the form in which it is realized. As long as the Satomi family is finished, there will be no reliable allies and reinforcements, except for Echigo. But even after the Kanto Governor sent troops, it would take time.

"The Satomi family means that I hope that the family will come to the rescue at the moment when the Satomi family is at stake. But the family still needs a period of recuperation and strategy, and the general Chiba family may not be able to arrive in time. Asadachi could only answer Ichikawa Gentosai like this.

"Asadako, can't you defeat the Ise family again? The current strength of this family is really very limited, it is impossible to completely block their naval army at sea, there will always be some landing. "Ichikawa Gentosai really hopes that Asahi will agree immediately, and the Musashi Domain, which is currently occupied by the Uesugi family, separates Hojo and Satomi from the land, and if it weren't for that, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Do you think I don't want to?! The family lost a large number of standing troops in the Battle of Isaguma and the Battle of Namba Ta Castle, and now they haven't had time to complete replenishment and training, so how can they fight the Hojo Army head-on? Hojo Phantom Nunnery is building a castle on the outskirts of Hachioji Castle and other places, and the family doesn't have the energy to stop it, let alone destroy the Chiba family first! "Asada's person is also unprofitable, and the Satomi family's navy can completely suppress the Izu navy, so why do you want to ask for help when the Hojo army hasn't moved yet?

"Uh······" Ichikawa Gentosai was really yelled at by the court and couldn't say a word for a long time. Ichikawa Gentosai did not expect that the Uesugi family would suffer a lot of losses after the two wars, not at all that the rumored losses were very small. Although compared to the losses of the Hojo Army, the losses of the Uesugi family were indeed very small, but they were not the losses of a few hundred people but the losses of thousands.

"Although this family has a large number of territories on the surface, it does not mean that there are a large number of elite soldiers. Jingguang, send off! Chaoding left the small wide room directly, and after shouting to the gross Jing Guang who was sitting outside the door, the gross Li Jing Guang entered the small wide room.

"Chao Dinggong!" Ichikawa Gentosai felt that the Satomi family was likely to be really finished, and if the Uesugi family didn't help, the Satomi family would not be able to compete with the Hojo family as a whole with the water army. However, Asadachi did not completely refuse the Satomi family's request for help. He soon summoned Yamamoto Temple Dingcho, Ota Shimasa, Omori Fujiyori, and Ogasawara Sadaso the next day.

"My lord, why are you summoning your ministers and others at this moment?" The head of Yamamoto Temple didn't understand why Asadaki had to rush to Kawagoe Castle by himself. Ota Shigemasa, Ogasawara Sada, and Omori Fujiyori rushed to Kawagoe Castle, and it was just right to say that they were not fast or slow, and there was no need to be in a hurry.

"I came to you for only one purpose, you gather all the troops in your headquarters, defeat Yinji, the high city that is firmly in the national capital Taicheng, and take the national capital Taicheng. The Hojo family will soon make a move against the Satomi family, and this operation of yours will be the opening, and I will gather forces to make peace with you and destroy the Chiba family when necessary. "Chaoding only wants to take down the national capital Taicheng now, and as soon as the Gaocheng family is destroyed, the Chiba family will definitely be knocked on the mountain by the Uesugi family. Although the Chiba family is not much of a tiger.

"Gaocheng Yinji and others in Taicheng, the national capital, only have more than 1,000 people in the city from top to bottom, and the original family may still support." Ota Zimasa knows the truth of the cold lips and teeth, if the Chiba family sits idly by, after the Ren Takajo family is destroyed by the Uesugi family, then the next step is the original family, and finally the Chiba family itself.

"Then with your ability, you should be able to defeat them, Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, and Asahina Shinshiki I will then arrange for them to lead the army into Shimoso to assist you, and now the family needs to capture most of the Shimoso country before and after the battle between the Hojo family and the Satomi family, and only in this way can we deal with the Hojo family's invasion of the Boso Peninsula." Asadaki knows very well that the Uesugi family can only take the road of attacking Shimo Soo now, and if they attack the Hachioji Domain, they will still fall into a bitter battle, so it is better to let Honjo Shigenaga, Anazawa Toshimitsu and others sit on the side to monitor their movements, and the Hojo family does not dare to act rashly in Musashi.

"Lord, did the Satomi family ask for help? Isn't it just a verbal request for help? Ogasawara seems to have guessed something.

"That's good, but the family can use them to ask for help to make a fuss, especially if you can start a war with the Chiba family openly, as long as the Chiba family, which has been entrenched in the next group for many years, is destroyed, then the family can depend on the situation, whether to send troops to help." The court is very realistic, and it is completely impossible for the Satomi family to send troops without giving any benefits.

"The lord is wise!"

Asadaku really needed an excuse to go to war, and although he had been recuperating for a few months, the Chiba family was after all the main family of the Takashiro family, the Hara family, the Umi family, etc., so it naturally became a hostile target for the Uesugi family.
