"What do you say?! Why didn't Fujiwara Asadachi send troops to the rescue?! "After all, Uesugi Keishin is Kenshin's uncle, and he is also the current head of the Uesugi family.

"The town palace was surrounded and intercepted by nearly 20,000 enemy troops before, and only recently led 14,000 troops to withdraw to the area of Jinmaru, Fushui, and Shidongshan." Honjo Hideki then explained.

"I can't count on him anymore, so I immediately ordered Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru and Okuma to prepare for the front of the army to send troops!" Kenshin thought that it was already very difficult for Asadaki to stabilize the southern part of Noto, and it was impossible to have the spare strength to send troops to rescue Uesugi Keishinobu.

"Yes!" Honjo Hidekei also stayed for a short time and immediately withdrew.

However, the news of Kenshin's arrival in Vietaka did not hide it from everyone. Takeda Katsuyori learned of Kenshin's entry into Echichu from Yamabushi, and immediately began to withdraw Koshin one after another.

And when the wealthy clans around Okuhida learned that the Takeda family's army had withdrawn from Koshin, they immediately contacted the Uesugi family's Ueno Kubei, Kakizaki Yasuke and others stationed in Okutomi. At present, in addition to the power of the Uesugi family in the Okushima area, there are only four wealthy families in Kojima Time, Hirose Sonari, Kawagami Tominobu, and Renyoshinobu.

On October 17, when most of the Uesugi army was retreating to the area around Ishitayama for recuperation, more and more enemy forces were gathering outside Ida Castle. Kaga Kazuku's follow-up reinforcements, led by Matsuhito Hikosho, were joined by 2,000 men. In total, Ida Castle was surrounded by more than 9,000 enemy troops.

Uesugi Keishinobu in Ida Castle knew that he could not wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the court, and that the entire Western Route Army was likely to be wiped out. Therefore, he immediately ordered the beheading of the Suemori Tohi family, Tohi Jishige, and hung his head on the arrow of Honmaru. Afterwards, Uesugi Keishinobu gathered his retainers and Nagasawa Mitsukuni, Koura Kazumori and others who came with him.

"Nagasawa built the front guarded the hall, and Kourashi saw the guarded hall. Both of you are Chinese lords of Vietnam. I have not been with you for long. At this moment, there are more and more enemy troops outside the city, and our army still does not have any news of reinforcements. Moreover, the fact that the enemy forces outside the city surrounded us without fighting us already showed that our reinforcements were most likely stopped or repulsed. You two should prepare to lead your troops to break through······" Uesugi Keishinobu said helplessly.

"And what about you?!" After listening to it, Mitsukuni Nagasawa felt that something was not quite right, and Uesugi Keishinobu did not say where he was going.

"Continue to defend the cage city below, and buy enough time for you to break through." Uesugi Keishinobu now has the consciousness of dying on the battlefield.

"Bunzen Shouden! We are well aware of the temperament and will of the Echigo samurai, but don't be obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one pond! As the saying goes: 'Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!' 'Why fight the enemy here?' As a member of the Uesugi family, your status is one person below ten thousand people, so why bother? "Kazumori Koura didn't understand Uesugi Keinobu at all.

"I have made up my mind to defend this cage city, even if I die for my country, only in this way can I live up to the name of a samurai!" Uesugi Keinobu has no intention of changing his decision.

"Fengzen Shoudian, why do you bother?! Both the Leader Hall and the Town Hall want you to be safe. Our status and fame are less than one-ten-thousandth of yours, even if you die in battle, it is not a pity, you are different!" As one of the first few countrymen lords to submit to the Nagao clan in Fuchu, Nagasawa Mitsukuni at least knew which lords had high status and which low status in Echigo country.

"No!" Uesugi Keishun frowned and shook his head, and said categorically: "Rather than succumbing to the enemy and withdrawing in shame, dying on the battlefield is the way of a samurai!" ”

The expression in Uesugi Keishin's eyes seemed to be no longer a thing of this world, and his expression did not waver in the slightest. Mitsukuni Nagasawa and Kazumori Koura also gave up on continuing to persuade.

After a while, Mitsukuni Nagasawa and Kazumori Koura left Ohiroma. Uesugi Keishinobu is determined to live and die with Ida Castle.

Soon, not long after Mitsukuni Nagasawa and Ichimori Koura left, Uesugi Keishinobu summoned the retainers of the Koshi Nagao family and a group of people to hold a final evaluation meeting in Ohiroma. There were Maruta Takatoshi, Maruda Shunji, Zaodo Shikibu and other ordinary retainers, as well as Nagao Hidetada, Nagao Genzo, Nagao Kontada, Nagao Konshi, Nagao Shoyin and other relatives.

"Maruda Zhou Defense, Zao Tang Shikibu, you and others have been dedicated to their family for a long time as the genealogy retainers of the Koshi Nagao family, and I won't say much about some things. Inuko Keimitsu is my name and serves as the guardian of Ueno, and I hope that you can serve him as if you were serving me after breaking through with Nagasawa Chikuzen Mamoru and Kourashi Imori. Uesugi Keishinobu pondered for a long time and then said to the retainers of the spectrum.

"Your Highness! We will be faithful! Knowing that they were powerless to persuade Uesugi Keishin, Maruta Takatoshi and the others took on this important task with tears in their eyes.

"Yes." Uesugi nodded in satisfaction.

"Report to your lord! Nagasawa built the front guard hall and Koura Ishimi guarded the hall insisted on leaving a part of the troops to help defend Ida Castle! Just as Maruda Takatoshi and the others were about to leave, a samurai ran into the Ohiroma at a rapid pace.

"Reply to them, I already understand their intentions. Just ask the two of them to break through with the genealogy of their own family, I have nothing else to ask for. Uesugi Keishinobu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Yes."

In the early morning of the next day, more than 2,000 people from Mitsukuni Nagasawa, Kazumori Koura, and the genealogical retainers of the Koshi Nagao family left Ida Castle. Nagasawa Mitsukuni thought that it would be easy to be besieged by the Takusaku Hatakeyama army to the north, so he chose to break through Suemori Castle to the east. Although Nagasawa Mitsukuni and the others were not blocked too much by Kaga Kazukuri and the Hatakeyama army, their march was still unfast, and the military rations were only carried for two days.

Just as Sugiura Matagoro and Tohi Ki really noticed that the Uesugi army in Ida Castle had broken through two-thirds of the siege, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Ida Castle. Since the enemy forces were nine times larger than the defenders of the castle, Ninomaru did not last long before falling. The enemy was firing iron cannon fire at the remaining Honmaru day and night.

On the other hand, after receiving Kenshin's order, Kakizaki Keike immediately led his army of 3,000 to take a shortcut - enter Ogarga and turn north. A day later, Kakizaki Keike joined forces with Mitsukuni Nagasawa and others, and the Yamabushi and Hosaku sent to report at this time that Ida Castle had been captured, and that Uesugi Keishinobu and Furushi Nagao's family had all been killed in battle.

Kakizaki Keike immediately led his army to Arayama Castle and sent an envoy to inform Kenshin and Asadachi that Uesugi Keishinobu had been killed in battle. However, Sugiura Matagoro and Tohi Kinma and others were afraid of the martial arts of the Kakizaki Keike and did not pursue, and only recovered Ida Castle, Senrihama and other places.

"Don't you know the importance of yourself and the people of Qiji?!" After Asadaki saw Kakizaki Keiya in Ishidoyama, he couldn't help but feel the stupidity of Uesugi Keishin.

"It's come to this, so let's think about how to explain it to the Imperial Palace. She was very angry that you burned the stone and moved the mountain, and that Fengzen guarded the temple and did not save him when he saw death. "Kakizaki Jingjia is sweating for Chaoding.

"It's okay, the death of the Fengzen Shoudian does have a lot to do with me, I won't deny it." Chao Ding smiled bitterly.

"Zhenfu Palace, there are already several wealthy families in Kaga Ichikuro who have sent oaths to their subordinates, as long as Sugiura Matagoro and others are defeated, Kaga Ichikuro will have no one to fight." Kakizaki Keike can also see that Kaga Kazuki is dying and struggling.

"Ignore them for now, Owari Mamoru you will be my name to rule the generals, and the Noto strategy will be handed over to you for the time being. I'm going to Toyama Castle. Chao Ding felt that he had exhausted Jiang Lang.

"Your Highness? Why are you doing that? "Tao Qingxian has rarely commanded tens of thousands of troops since he was rescued by Kato Denzo, and he is a little uncomfortable.

"The palace is a general leader, and the Fengqian palace is a public pen. He and Qi Jizhong have a great relationship with me in Jingtian Castle. I don't want the Yamauchi and Ogiya families to oppose each other again, the internal friction of the Uesugi family has caused many surrounding forces to develop. "Asadaki doesn't want the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the Ogiya Uesugi family to be hostile again, and once the two families renew the war, then there will be a second, or even a third, Gohojo family.

"Understood, you go early and come back early." Tao Qingxian gritted his teeth and took on this arduous task.
