PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

As soon as he said this, everyone agreed with his statement, they all thought that with the Takayama family's ability to gather intelligence, they had already known that the Hojo clan would send reinforcements to rescue themselves, in this case, how could the enemy outside the city not respond, since the Takayama clan was able to send 3,000 ninja troops, then why couldn't the Shibata family send 5,000 troops, most of them had heard of the relationship between Shibata and the Takayama family, so there was nothing to doubt about the strength of the other party's army.

At this moment, their thinking has been completely fixed, of course, even if they are sober-minded, but with their intelligence, how can they think of the source of this army, it is not that they can't think of it, it is completely that they dare not think about it, they definitely don't think that Honda Masanobu dares to do this, so they automatically ignore this.

And Uesugi Keitora still agrees more with Utsunomiya Kunizuna's words, after all, he is only in his early twenties now, and he has not been on the battlefield a few times in total, and he is far worse than Uesugi Kenshin in terms of experience and courage, but he agrees, but he knows that he is not relying on the Hojo coalition army, but the retainers under his command, which side to go, he is still clear, especially he also wants to find out the enemy's situation.

So before the two sides could get into a stalemate, he immediately said: "Everyone, it is very simple to find out about this matter, although it has become an enemy army and has blocked the city gate, it is still possible to send some people out of the city to find out the truth, instead of arguing here, it is better to go out of the city to investigate." And so it goes. It can be seen that this army is real and false. "Speaking of which. Uesugi Keitora immediately ordered the junior samurai who came to report to immediately send someone out of the city to investigate.

Since the enemy outside the city was only a few hundred meters away from the city, it didn't take long to send people out of the city to find out the enemy's situation, so the assessment room did not leave in advance, and they were all waiting for news here silently, and the atmosphere in the assessment room was very dull for a while.

After a short time, the junior warrior ran in again, this time with a more panicked look on his face. He even forgot to salute, and as soon as he ran into the room, he said loudly: "My lord, the big thing is not good, the subordinates have just sent people out of the city, and they have not yet approached the enemy's camp, so they ...... was killed by the ninjas of the Takayama family, and there was no survivorship, and he was still ...... Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

Hearing this, the current No. 1 general of the Uesugi family, Yamamoto Temple Dingcho, not only did not show any panic, but said with excitement on his face: "Haha." Sure enough, as Hojo-sama said, this must be the Honta's false faith. That's why I sent the ninja army to stop our exploration, so that I saw that the enemy not only did not have any reinforcements, but I am afraid that a large number of troops had been transferred to prevent Kasahara Yasukatsu from coming, the lord, for the family, this is definitely a golden opportunity, with the strength of the army in the city, not only can break through the encirclement, but also destroy the enemy, so please also ask the lord to order, immediately launch an attack on the enemy outside the city. Although Yamamoto Temple is not known for his resourcefulness, it is not surprising that he can think of this because of his rich experience and his previous analysis by Hojo Takahiro, so I just listened to him.

"No, no, I think that the reason why the enemy sent the ninja army to blockade this city is because he wants to cut off our contact with reinforcements, and he is looking for an opportunity to steal the city, not because of the lack of troops. Therefore, I think that not only should we not go to war at this moment, but we should strengthen our vigilance to prevent the Takayama ninja army from sneaking into the city. ”

"Lord, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it wins, then not only can you destroy the enemy army, but also take advantage of this to control the Echigo, so the subordinates think it is better to go out of the city immediately to fight."

"Uesugi-sama, you must not go out of the city at this moment, now the situation of the enemy outside the city is unknown, if there are really 5,000 Shibata troops to help, once our army goes out of the city, then it is likely to fall into siege, so our army must not take risks, I think it is better to hold on and wait for reinforcements." Yuki Haruma said hurriedly. Now that the situation is unknown, he doesn't dare to take risks, especially after knowing the attitude of the Hojo clan towards his own people, he can't take risks, once the loss here is too great, then maybe the Hojo clan will use the excuse of the unfavorable situation to eliminate himself, and at that time, the family will not even have the strength to resist, and they have the strength in their hands, and they can still make them fearful, and their own strength is exhausted, so there is only a dead end.

And it's not that Yuki Haruhuna alone has such thoughts, all the Hojo families present think so, they came to help Uesugi as a last resort, Uesugi is defeated or not, they don't care, they only care about whether their family can be saved. So when Yuki Haruhuna finished speaking, the other wealthy clans also opened their mouths to refuse, anyway, they put on an attitude, that is, we will not stop us from sending troops, and you can go if you want the Uesugi family to go, but if you want us to work hard together, there is not even a door.

Uesugi Jinghu still wants to give it a try to the proposals of his retainers, but he can't help but consider the thoughts of these Yuki in front of him, the Utsunomiya family and others, after all, although the combat power of the other party is not strong, there are nearly 20,000 people, and the number is more than the army under his command, once it is contrary to the desire of Hojo Takahiro and Yamamoto Temple Dingchang, then the Uesugi army will inevitably have a lot of losses, not to mention breaking the enemy army outside the city, I am afraid that even if there will be any changes in this city, he still knows these wealthy families very well, These people are simply unreliable, and once the family can't suppress them, then he is not far from the end, so he knows that he can't take risks.

With this idea, no matter how much the retainers asked for war, he did not agree.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed, early the next morning, Uesugi Jinghu received a report again, Zuo Zuo and Bu Po 3,000 troops have come from the west, of course, this news can't be hidden from other wealthy families, after they heard the news, including Uesugi Jinghu, they all felt a little afraid, and those who were still shouting to go to war Uesugi retainers also closed their mouths, if yesterday's may be the suspicious soldiers arranged by Honda Masanobu, then this time I'm afraid it's true, since this time it's true, Then yesterday's Shibata Army is probably not fake. Because they felt that if it was fake, then there was no need for the other party to act like this again and again, and after the meeting ended yesterday, many people went to the city to watch it in person. It was found that the smoke from the other party's fortifications had been significantly longer. And although it is not clear to see. I can also vaguely see that the opponent's army has increased, which makes everyone have no intention of going to battle. In the face of the Jingsheng and Takayama coalition forces, they can't win, and now with the Takayama ninja army and the Shibata army, there is no possibility of victory.

If this is the case, then the people in the city can still maintain a trace of composure, then on the third day, with the arrival of the five thousand Asai troops with the Asai family pattern on their backs, everyone in the city, including Jinghu, has reached the verge of collapse. Even, they knew that even if eight thousand Bai Bei came, it would probably be useless, and such thoughts quickly spread among the various armies in the city.

Although Uesugi Jinghu made his best efforts to encourage the military strength of various families with various means, it was to no avail, that is, because those Hojo family families were all in Kanto and could not take refuge in the Takayama family, otherwise they would definitely open the city gate at this moment and let the enemy outside the city enter the city.

But they didn't dare. It doesn't mean that Utsunomiya and Yuki don't dare, his two families were forced to join the Hojo family out of desperation. Moreover, the territory controlled by the two of them was still in their own hands, and it only bordered Hojo, not in their territory, and the current situation could not help but give them some ideas.

Especially Utsunomiya Kunitsuna, now in the city, it can be said that his strength is second only to the Uesugi family, after several wars, the Uesugi army has suffered the greatest losses, and now Ashigaru is less than 10,000 people, and Utsunomiya Kunitsuna himself has no losses, when he came, it was nine thousand, and now there are eight thousand five hundred people, and he can retain so much military momentum, completely because his current identity is the chief general of the Hojo Army in the city, and there are good things for himself, and the bad thing is of course for other wealthy families to die, so the Utsunomiya army can minimize the loss.

He didn't dare to have any ideas before, that was because although the strength of the army under his command was about the same as that of the Uesugi army, but the combat power was far from the same, once he made any moves, then he was not the opponent of the Uesugi army at all, so why did he want to send him to death, but now it is different, with Shibata, Asai, and Sasa, the unbroken reinforcements are coming one after another, and the grain and grass in the city is only enough to hold out for a few days, so the morale of the current Uesugi army has fallen to the extreme, and it can be said that they have completely lost the will to fight, This is no different from the strength of the army under his command, the only thing that the other party is stronger than himself is that he is better equipped, but if he is under a surprise attack, the probability of success is not low.

Yes, Utsunomiya Kunitsuna had the idea of turning his back on Hojo and turning his head to Takayama after seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements outside the city, for him, as long as he kept his family name, there was nothing he couldn't do, and the reason why he didn't start it was entirely because he was worried about how Takayama-sama would think of himself once he did it, especially before he took refuge in Hojo, the Satake family went to Kofu to negotiate with Takayama on his behalf, and as a result, Takayama-sama only agreed that his family would keep 100,000 koku of land, and he would also be subordinate to Takayama, Such conditions are too harsh, the subordinates are nothing, the problem is that the height of the stone is reduced by sixty percent, how can he accept this, so in the end, after hesitation, he still voted for Hojo, but the approach of the Hojo clan is not as good as he thought, as soon as he took refuge, the other party planned to weaken his strength by the hand of Takayama, and even wanted to borrow the hand of Uesugi Keimasa and Takayama to achieve the goal of destroying himself, which could not help but make him feel regretful, surrendering to Takayama could at least retain 100,000 stone Zhixing, and took refuge in Hojo, Sooner or later, even the bones will be swallowed up.

But now the question is whether Takayama-sama will accept his family after he has taken refuge in Hojo, but he knows that Takayama-sama's attitude towards the Shun forces is not very good, and he is really a little worried about his previous move to give up Takayama.

And just when Utsunomiya Kunitsuna was undecided, suddenly a close attendant reported outside the door: "Report, lord, lord Yuki is visiting, and please make a decision." ”

If it's someone else, Utsunomiya Kunitsuna doesn't plan to meet at all, after all, what can the other party do when they come to find themselves, instead of delaying work with them, it's better to think about where the family's way out is, but Yuki Haruhuna is different, this person has a close relationship with the family, especially after taking refuge in Hojo, the relationship between the two families is not only not estranged, but closer, and the other party comes to find him at this time, I'm afraid it's also to save the family name, and it just so happens that he can have a good discussion with him.

Thinking of this, I only heard Utsunomiya Kunitsuna say: "I know, please come to Yuki immediately." As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door, although the Yuki family was not as strong as his own family, but with the relationship between the two families, he still had to go out to greet him personally.

After a short time, the two returned to the front hall again, and after sitting down, Yuki Haruhuza did not directly say the purpose of his trip, after all, he still doesn't know what Utsunomiya Kunisuna thinks, if the idea is contrary to himself, then there is no need to say the words in his heart, so he didn't mention it at first, but said with a little tentativeness: "Hey, Utsunomiya-sama, now you and I are trapped in this city because of this to save this Uesugi, this time I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape." ”

Although the relationship between the two families is good, Utsunomiya Kunitsuna will not tell the whole plan just because of this, so he just listened to him and said: "Yuuki-sama is not more worried, although we are trapped, don't forget that there is also Hojo Yachihan Shirabi is coming, as long as it lasts for a few days, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

"Turnaround? The idea of the adults seems to be too ideal, if Shibata Asai and the other troops do not come, there is still a chance, but now the other party has an additional army of 13,000 troops, even if they are not as elite as the Hojo Goseki, but in the case of the superiority in numbers, it is possible to block the rescue of reinforcements, so I have reached a dead end. ”

"Then I don't know what Yuuki-sama thinks, there are no outsiders here, don't be afraid to say it bluntly, with the relationship between you and me, do you have anything to worry about." Since the other party had already said it so clearly, Utsunomiya Kunisuna didn't want to continue to go around in circles with him, so he asked directly.

Yuki Haruma first subconsciously looked around, and then said in a low voice: "My lord, there is an idea in the next place, you and I might as well take advantage of Jinghu's unpreparedness to open the city gate and let the Gaoshan army enter the city, so that only Jinghu and those wealthy armies can't resist at all, we can not only return to the high mountains, but also save the family name, I don't know what the adults think." ”

"My lord's thoughts coincide with mine, and I also have this intention, but I am worried about Lord Takayama's attitude towards us, and my lord should also know that Lord Takayama seems to be very disgusted with the wealthy family and external forces, which is also what I am most worried about, in case we return to the Takayama family, but the other party deprives us of our family business, wouldn't it be a chicken and egg fight."
