November of the first year of Yongroku. The Hatakeyama family, a famous craftsman in Noto Province, ushered in the biggest crisis in history. Less than half a month after the death of the young family governor Hatakeyama Yoshitaka, Usami Dingman and Tao Qingxian finally launched a general attack on the Hatakeyama family. However, in the woods of Nakajimahara, a young samurai was marching with a dozen samurai.

"Urano Sunemon-sama, what you said is true?!" Long Lianlong didn't believe what the shaman in front of him said at all.

"Not bad. With the death of the Zha Mu Hall and the Onjing Mountain Castle Guard Palace, only Cave Water City and Songba City are still in the hands of the family in the land of Okunoden! Urano Sunemon said unwillingly.

"What about the Kai Zhuang Suruga Shouden?" Chang Lianlong immediately remembered the defender of Yoneyama Castle, Kai Zhuang Jiafan. He is also one of the elders of the Hatakeyama family, and in this time of crisis, he should be able to get through it with the main family.

"The Suruga Guardian Temple has long since abandoned the castle and fled! However, when I passed through the inner castle of Nishiya before coming down to this place, I saw the head of the Suruga Guardian Temple, but it was hung on the head of the castle for public display. After saying that, Urano Sunemon punched the trunk of the tree beside him.

"Suruga Mamoru should be preparing to go to California to ask for reinforcements······" Long Lianlong could only comfort himself with such thoughts.

"My lord, I hope that you can survive as the only remaining bloodline of the Chang and Ping clans. Someday we will be able to make a comeback. As long as the Hatakeyama family in Hanoi is still around, there will always be a suitable candidate to serve as the governor of the Hatakeyama family. It's really not good, and you can still worship the Hatakeyama repair hall as the lord. These are the Lord's original words, so do it yourself. Urano Sunemon said with a sigh.

"Your Excellency! My father's support is you! How so?! The blood of the Chang clan, the Taira clan and other Nengden families has been defeated! After hearing this, Chang Lianlong stomped his feet.

"Don't do that, sir. The owner of the hall asked him to return to the Shimo Shicho clan before leaving Matsuba Castle and become your retainer. Please take care of it in the future! After Urano Sun Youemon finished speaking, he saluted Nagaren Long.

"The trust of Tokirusuke's palace has nothing to repay, and he can only fight for the purpose of his life as a master of recovery!" Chang Lianlong's eyes instantly became firm, and he found a reason to live in his life.

"Then we should return to Cave Water City immediately to prepare. Now that the Uesugi Army's siege of Cave Water City is not tight, I will wait for a chance to break out! Changlianlong immediately decided to return to Cave Water City.

"My lord, are you planning to lead the soldiers of Cave Water City to break through? Our army is numerous, and the goal is too big! Urano Sunemon immediately opposed Nagarenlong's plan.

"Do you want me to abandon them? I really can't do that! "Changlian Long is determined to return to Cave Water City and leave Noto with his retainers and recruited ronin.

In this way, Changlianlong and the others took advantage of their familiarity with the surrounding geography and slipped away with more than 300 people under the nose of Usami Katsuyuki. And Usami Dingman met with Nakajima Toji and Nanshi Mitsuren at the Wajima Pavilion at this moment.

"Lord Nakajima, now only Anasui Castle and Matsuba Castle remain in the Okunoto area and have not been captured by our army. And you didn't really go to the Uesugi family. Usami Joshimitsu motioned to Toshikei Miyake, who was behind him, and handed a letter to Toji Nakajima.

"Nakajima-sama, this!" Nanshi Mitsuri, who was beside Toji Nakajima, glanced at it a little and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Nan Zhimi-sama was surprised? This is just a letter from Nakajima-sama to Ichijo about the deployment of the family's forces in Noto. Usami said indifferently.

"Dingmangong! Your Majesty has been wronged! Wronged! Nakajima Toji had a panicked look on his face.

"If the handwriting can indeed be forged, can the painting be forged? It just so happened that after the Taowei Zhang Shoudian captured Sueji Castle, he found a large number of letters, and there must be a few of yours in them, I will find out later. Usami smiled maliciously.

"Your Majesty······ Your Majesty is guilty! Nakajima Toji listened to Zhihe's admit, "Your Majesty has been acting as the acting official of the Hatakeyama family in the Wajima area for nearly thirty years, and now there is only one Wajima Pavilion and 500 stone Chiyuki. However, it is said that the Uesugi family only retains the skills of the generals who surrender to the city, and will not reward them more. Hence ······"

"So you collude with Hatakeyama Yoshito and Kaga in Matsuba Castle?!" Usami shouted loudly.

“······” Nakajima Toji was already weak-hearted, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"It's not helpful to say more. Come and kill Nakajima Toji and his family. After saying that, Usami Dingmitsu walked outside the Ohiroma, and at the same time as he left, a large number of samurai from the Uesugi family rushed into the Ohiroma, dragged Nakajima Toji away, and escorted his family and Ichimon outside the museum.

"Dingmangong, why do you bother? You've only been in office for a short time, and you need the support of the native lords! Nanshi saw that Hikari immediately walked quickly behind Usami Dingman and said.

"There are many Noto lords who support the Uesugi family, and there is no shortage of him. It's still a scourge to keep! Usami Dingman didn't continue to pay attention to Minami Mitsuri, and slowly walked outside the museum, looking at the endless sea.

Just when Usami Dingman and Tao Qingxian were arguing about the active pacification of Okunoto, Asada felt that his health was better and set off for Moriji Castle, a small town in the eastern part of Seshido Mountain.

"Lord, you're finally here!" Chao Dingcai walked into the large wide room of Sensi City, and Tao Changfang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked quickly to Chao Ding's side.

"What's the matter?" When Asada was recuperating in Toyama Castle, he didn't hear anything urgent, so as soon as he arrived at Moriji Castle, he saw Tao Changfang's anxious face.

"Returning to the lord, the defender of Cave Water Castle, Chang Lian Long, led more than 300 defenders to break through from the encirclement of our army, and escaped from Noto with the support of Nakajima Toji, the representative of Wajima Minato!" After Tao Changfang finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a pop.

"When I didn't come here yet, I heard that there were at least five thousand troops surrounding Cave Water City, and even if Chang Lianlong had thousands of troops, it was impossible to break through, who was the general who attacked Cave Water City?" Chao Ding couldn't believe his ears.

"It's Noto's second son who guards Usami Suruga's Moriden Usami Katsuyuden." Tao Changfang then uttered an incredible name.

"Usami Katsuyuki ······" After listening to the speech, Chaoding was speechless for a while, and said that the tiger father has no dog, and Usami Katsuyuki is too confident in the battle situation?

"My lord, at present, Okunoden only has Songba City left to conquer, and my father is leading tens of thousands of troops to surround it, and it should be able to be captured in a short time. Noto's more than 200,000 stone will be in the Uesugi family's pocket. Tao Changfang said a happy news at this time.

"That's it, even if Changlian Long runs away, it won't have much impact on the battle situation of Noto. However, even if you can conquer a country, it is only in the pocket of the leader. Now that the Leader Hall is disgusted with me, the future of the Yamauchi and Ogiya families is really worrying to me! Chao Ding sighed and said.

"Lord, report urgently!" While Asadachi was still thinking, Ikeda Morishu hurriedly ran into the Ohiroma.

"Why are you so alarmed?!" Asada saw Ikeda Morishu holding a letter in his hand, and he did not know what was happening.

"Returning to the lord, Zhuang Nai······ The Satsushi family in the village colluded with the Andong family and the Tozawa family to raise troops! With that, Ikeda handed the letter to Asada.

"Anton's family? The Tozawa family? After reading it, Asadachi realized that it was the Anto family and the Tozawa family who were preparing to support the Satsushi family and make it a daimyo of 120,000 koku in Shonai.

"The lords of Sebe and other lords were unable to send troops to help because they did not receive orders from the Commander's Palace, and the Onodera Hall has ordered the Sasaki Norizenmasa (Salmon Nozonsada) Hall to send troops to assist the Shinbata Inaba Shonai and other garrisons in the village." Ikeda also added some details.

"It seems that I can't wait for a long time in Noto, so I'll send an order to Taoo Zhangshou in Okunoto, so that he can quickly capture Matsuba Castle and slaughter Hatakeyama Yoshito!"

However, since Kenshin became angry with the Asadachi over the death of Uesugi Keinobu and the fact that Asadachi ordered the burning of the stone to move the mountain, the relationship between the Uesugi family in the Yamauchi and the Uesugi family in Ogiya became delicate, and the two families turned from an alliance to an antagonistic situation again.
