"Since Dr. Satake Ukyo has ceded the land of Hitachi Ichi, then the family should also give the Satake family some face. The culprit behind the instigation of the Seven Counties of Xiandao was determined to be the former Lion City Lord Aramaki Sweeping Assistant, and the accomplices were the generals of Iwaki City, and this matter had nothing to do with the Satake family. After reading the picture on the oath, Asadachi said to Satake Yoshiren in a milder tone.

"The town government is clear, and the criminals are grateful! The assistant of the barren sweeping department has long been dissatisfied with the orders of his own family, and has repeatedly colluded with the remnants of the major famous families in the seven counties of Xiandao. Turning a blind eye to the orders of the Doctor's Hall near the right, if it weren't for the help of the town government, the family really couldn't do anything about this cancer. After listening to Asada's words, Satake Yoshiren immediately made a look of staying out of the matter.

"Onozaki Yoshimasa is also one of the accomplices, after all, he is the younger brother of Dr. Satake Ukyo, and it is more reasonable for the Satake family to punish him." Chao Ding is not interested in this kind of wine bag and rice bag, and he is afraid that he will dirty the place if he kills him in his own territory.

"Yes." Satake Yoshiren then nodded. He wished that the Satake family had nothing to do with this incident.

"Over there in Taga-gun, I will order Akechi Jiemon to enter with 3,000 troops, and I hope that the Satake family will be ready for the handover soon." Asada would not believe that Yoshiaki Satake would take the initiative to hand over the land of a county.

"Obey the order, the criminal will retire first." Yoshihiro Satake then walked away quickly.

"Zhuanliuzhai, if it weren't for the Yamamoto Temple to write a letter to inform me, I really didn't know that the Satake family still had a person like you." Chao Ding looked at the figure of Yoshiren Satake who was gradually moving away and said.

"My lord, Dr. Satake Ukyo is stubborn and self-serving, and his retainers are all short-sighted. Instead of burying your talents there, it is better for good birds to choose trees to perch! Yamazaki sneered.

"Having said that, the former 'Hitachi Nokio' is old, and he is no longer the young and daring teenager he was then." Chao Ding couldn't help but sigh.

"The power in the family is almost controlled by the Nakabu Daisuke, Saemon Lieutenant, etc., and it is difficult for even the young master to participate in decision-making." Yamazaki Hidesen said helplessly.

"It's good that Dr. Satake Ukyo didn't adopt your strategy, otherwise the family would be very passive at the moment." Chao Ding laughed after speaking.

"The Seven Counties of Sendo are the throat of the Satake family, and the same is true for the Uesugi family. If there is no immortal road, the seven counties will not be Ao Chang Lu, and this family will be in trouble. Therefore, sooner or later, the Uesugi and Satake families will start a war because of the seven counties of Sendo. "Hidesen Yamazaki sees the situation around him very clearly.

"That's a good point." Chao Ding nodded.

"At present, most of Satake's exit from the Seven Prefectures of Sendo is now, so as long as the Iwaki Domain in the southern part of Kaido is suppressed, Uesugi will be able to form a three-sided encirclement of Satake." Hidesen Yamazaki walked over to the large map erected and pointed to the location of the Iwaki Lord.

"Even if the Seven Counties of the Immortal Road are calmed down, the strength of the Tamura family is not as good as before. In this way, the Soma family, which has only recently recovered, will have to fight on two fronts······" Chaoding was a little worried about his 'neighbors' to the east.

"With the current strength of the Soma family, it can still compete with the Date family. After all, in the wars between the Uesugi family and the Date family over the years, the Date family has always lost more than they won. Its family, kinship, and genealogy are almost completely lost. In addition, the Kasai family is still unstable, so there is no need to worry too much about the central Oshu region. The lord only needs to focus on the direction of Nanyuzhou. If the Hashu Exploration Mogami family is restored to its vitality and old collar, then it will be difficult for the Uesugi family to attack Nan Yushu again. Yamazaki Hidesen pointed to the top collar and said.

"Mr. Takami, I just got the news that the Onodera Hall has firmly nailed the Tozawa and Ando coalition forces to the Rokugo Territory, and the Mogami family will not get any reinforcements for a while." The court has already calculated that at this moment, the three families of Date, Osaki, and Kasai still have to guard against the Mori Keihiro and Soma families, so they will not distribute the few troops to Mogami Yoshimitsu.

"That's for the best. It's just that the lord needs to speed up his steps to form an alliance with the Kasai family, and only in this way can the relationship between the Oshu daimyo be rift and cause them to separate from each other. Hidesen Yamazaki pointed to Kasai and said.

"Well, for now, it's important to seize the southern part of the Kaido. After that, he marched into Minami Hashu and allied with the Kasai family. Asadaki still agrees with Yamazaki Hidesen's strategy.

"After the capture of the sea route, half of Hitachi will draw a line with the Satake family. Soon, the palace was a hot potato. Yamazaki Hidesen couldn't help but laugh after speaking.

"What the gentleman said is very true. The name of righteousness is on the side of the family, and even if the Satake family takes in the pseudo-general, it will have no effect. Chao Ding nodded.

In the second year of Yonglu, on the ninth day of the first month. Not long after the Iwaki generals raised the anti-banner, the court ordered Toshihiro Anazawa, Kawada Nagakin, Kawada Shigekin, and Mori Hidehiro to lead 5,000 troops from Koma Castle to go out to attack.

At this time, because Konoe's former heir could not spare time to leave Kyoto, he sent his retainer Nishitoin Tokihide to Aizu to prepare to give Asada's "Song of Songs" a copy of the waka book "Three Wisdom Copy", and congratulated Asada's successful strategy to Nogaku.

After Asada accepted these two books, he understood what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Konoe's former heir. He intended to unite himself in this Far East to establish a new order that did not belong to the shogunate, the Kanto government, and the imperial court.

Originally, Konoe's former heir had planned to come to Aizu himself to congratulate the court, but his parents, the emperor, and even a group of courtiers and ministers were shocked.

Uejia, the father of Konoe's former heir, directly reprimanded him: "Although it is common for the incumbent regent Guan Bai to go to a nearby country for a while, there has never been a precedent for going to another country. Besides, you've already been to Kanto without permission, what do you think Guanbai is?! Why don't you dismiss this idea as soon as possible?! ”

However, Konoe's former heir didn't listen to his father's words at all, and directly retorted: "Yu can resign from the position of regent Guan Bai, Yu has already agreed with Uesugi Danmasa and Fujiwara Town, and he must not go back on his word!" ”

In desperation, the Ueke family turned to Ashikaga Yoshiki for help. Ashikaga Yoshiteru also personally dissuaded Konoe's former heir, but he couldn't stop it. He then turned to a letter to Ken, asking her to come forward and write a letter warning Konoe's former heir not to leave Kyoto for the time being.

In this way, Konoe's former heir lost his reason to go to Dongkoku, and he could only continue to stay in Kyoto to pass the time with his retainers, relatives and friends every day.

Because Kikuta Iwazen's generals were all in harmony, they passed the buck to each other and preserved their strength, so they didn't want to fight the Uesugi army first. In response to this situation, Kawada decided to adopt the tactics of avoiding the real and defeating each of them to pacify the two counties.

The Uesugi army marched to the area of Heijo (Iino Taira Castle) and Odate Castle with four divisions, including Toshihiro Anazawa, Shigekina Kawada, Mori Hidehiro, and Hiromune Ishiguchi, while Kawada Nagakin himself sent mounted samurai and the army of the headquarters to find another way to directly cross Mt. Ichitsu House and prepare to raid Otsuka Castle and Hariji Castle, which were loosely defended.

Two days later, Kawada Nagaqin took advantage of the unpreparedness of Takashi Otsuka, the lord of Otsuka Castle, and suddenly launched an attack on Otsuka Castle. Takasei Otsuka was defenseless and was taken by surprise, completely unaware of how many troops the Uesugi army was attacking. In a hurry, Otsuka Takasei immediately fled from the city in a hurry with more than a dozen of his cronies and headed south.

Immediately, Otsuka Castle was easily captured by Kawada Nagakin, and then Kawada Nagajin took advantage of the victory to pursue and further expand the results of the battle, and captured the branch city of Hariji Castle on the east side of Otsuka Castle. When Hinano Takakura Castle to the north of Hariji Castle learned about it, he immediately sent a hundred Ashigaru south to assist in the defense.

At the same time, Kamitono Castle was breached by 4,000 Uesugi troops, and the lord of the castle, Kamitono Hidetaka committed suicide by seppuku in Honmaru. With the fall of Kamitono Castle, the gates of Kikuta and Iwazen counties were wide open. In the days that followed, the Uesugi army captured the castles of Wanseiji Castle, Onahama Castle, and Ogawa Castle. And the defender of Yokura Castle, Nikaido Moriyoshi, found that the Uesugi army was approaching the castle like a divine soldier descending from heaven, so he hurriedly began to cage the castle and sent people to Heijo, Odate Castle and other places to ask for help.

On the twelfth day of the first month, due to the pressure of the Uesugi army, Satake Yoshiaki had to withdraw most of the retainers of Taga Prefecture, and only the lords of Che Castle Yoshihide, the lord of Ryukoyama Castle, Otsuka Masanari, the lord of Koyamakan, the head of the Oyamakan Funato Shomoru (the elder of the Otsuka family), and the head of the Yasagawa Pavilion Usami Owari Mamoru (the retainer of the Otsuka family) refused to leave the old domain. When Akechi Mitsutada crossed the Hanazono Mountain, he first attacked Cha Yoshixiu, who was defending the castle, and separated the two counties of Kikuta and Banzen from Taga, so that the rebels of the three counties could not communicate with each other.
