Shortly after Shibukawa Castle was captured by Kenshin's army, Asadachi succeeded in retrieving Miyazaki Castle's defender Takayama Mitsushige (Takayama Yukishige's brother, also known as Nagao Mitsushige) and causing him to defect to Uesugi.

Takayama Mitsushige was originally a hostage sent by Takayama Yushige to Kenshin, so he once called himself Nagao Mitsushige. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and before Takayama Mitsushige could go to Echigo, Takayama Yushige raised troops to respond to the rebellion of Urano Shigenari and other people in Nishi-Kamino Province. After that, Takayama Mitsushige was sent to Dansheng Castle by Takayama Yukishige and became a hostage of Goken Shinjun. Since Goken Nobujun heard the news that more than 20 members of the Takayama clan had killed themselves and that Takayama Castle had been captured by the Uesugi army, he thought that Takayama Mitsushige must have hated the Uesugi family to the core, so he asked Takayama Mitsushige to serve as the guard of Miyazaki Castle, a branch of Dansheng Castle.

Of course, Takayama Mitsushige will not refuse the olive branch extended by Asada, as long as he follows the Uesugi family, then the Takayama family will not cut off the family name, and in the future, he will definitely become the head of the Takayama clan and the governor of the family, and he will also become the 'master of Zhongxing' in the history of the Takayama family. Takayama Mitsushige was very excited when he thought of this, and immediately killed the third son of the lord of Miyazaki Castle, Gokan Nobuhisa, and quickly sent his head to Hirai Castle.

When he learned that his youngest son had been killed by Takayama Mitsushige, he was furious and wanted to lead his army to attack Miyazaki Castle to avenge his son. However, Goken Nobujun led the army out of the city on the front foot, and the back foot was blocked by the army led by the lord of Matsui Tian Castle, the sister of Masakatsu Ao, and could not go to Miyazaki Castle. After idle letters, he had no choice but to give up.

And Shibata Kiyomasa, the lord of Anzhong Castle, also repeatedly sent troops to attack the Anzhong family entrenched in Tennoyama Castle at this time, so that his backers Takada family were all pinned down and unable to support the Hou Xianjia. In this way, the three families of Houxian, Anchu, and Takada were unable to support each other, and they lost their original advantage in Nishiueno. Even the generals of the Takeda family in Nishi-Azuma Prefecture have turned a blind eye to them.

Takayama Mitsushige's defection was undoubtedly a huge blow to the later players. Later Hiroshi's original base, Dansheng Castle, lost its eastern barrier. The three generals, Kohata Keitada, Oishi Tsunamoto, and Ayukawa Kiyonaga, immediately led an army of 1,500 into Miyazaki Castle, ready to attack Dansheng Castle at any time.

At the same time, in order to alleviate the tense and unfavorable situation in Nishiueno, Takeda Shingen made Takeda Katsuyori the commander-in-chief of Nishiueno, and restrained Takeda Nobuyo, Itagaki Nobuyasu, Anayama Nobuyan and other generals and more than 5,000 troops. Even if the Takeda family has suffered heavy losses in Kita-Shinano, Takeda Shingen still has to pretend that the Takeda family still has the strength to send troops to other countries, and he is still a thief to Nishiueno. Takeda Shingen still wanted to establish a bridgehead in Nishi-Ueno and establish a buffer zone between him and Uesugi to facilitate the defense of Kita-Shinano.

In the second year of Eiroku, on August 10, late at night, in the Hirai Castle Honmaru Ohiro room.

At this time, Asadachi was holding a banquet for the former heir of Konoe and celebrating by the way, Kenshin captured Shibukawa Castle, the last enemy stronghold in Higashi-Ueno, and was about to join him. Just when everyone was full of wine and food, Mori Katsuhiro, who was close to Chaoding, suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"My lord, Takeda Jun······ The 1,000 Takeda Army had entered Nishi-Azuma Prefecture under the leadership of Takeda Shiro Katsuyori······ Kato-sama is further probing ······" Mori Katsuhiro said intermittently.

"What do you say?! The Takeda family still dares to continue to increase troops to the west of Kamino?! The Takeda family doesn't seem to have been beaten by the main family and the housekeeper yet! After listening to Mori Katsuhiro's report, Chaoding was so angry that he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and smashed it.

"Fujiwara Town, it seems that the Takeda family will not stop until they occupy Nishi-Ueno-gun." Konoe's former heir didn't react as much as Asada, but he could continue to speak calmly.

It made the former heir smile. It seems that the family's blow to the Takeda family is still not enough, and Takeda Daizen can still transfer 6,000 troops into Nishi-Azuma County one after another. Chao Ding immediately realized that his actions just now were too rude, and said with a smile to the front heir of Konoe.

Although Yu doesn't understand the matter of arranging troops, he can still see the real situation of the Takeda family at the moment. The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. In a series of defeats, Takeda still did not learn his lesson, did not repent, and fought recklessly. If this continues, the members of the Takeda family, the retainers of the lineage, the lords of the country, and the wealthy families will be completely disappointed in Takeda Daizen. Once Tokugawa Mikawamori on the Tokaido side sent troops to Enoe, Takeda Daizen would inevitably send someone to prepare for a peace agreement with the Uesugi family. After Konoe said with a smile on his face, he calmly drank a glass of wine, but he looked like Tarzan had collapsed in front of him and his face did not change.

"The former heir has a point. Once the governor of the Takeda family cannot continue to bring more benefits to the lords of the country, the wealthy clans, and the retainers under his command, then the governor of Takeda Daizen will soon come to an end. At this time, Chaoding felt that Takeda Shingen was following the old path of his father Takeda Shintora.

"The lord, the former heir. Soon Takeda Daizen will withdraw the forces of Nishi-Azuma Prefecture in batches, of course, provided that the Imperial Palace invades Nishi-Azuma Prefecture or the Tokugawa family invades Enoe. At this time, Yamazaki Hidesen supported Konoe's former heir's opinion.

"Zhuanliuzhai, now that the Guan Lingdian has led the army south, Sakai has not returned to Mikawa, and Takeda Dashan will not withdraw the 6,000 troops in a short time. From what I know of Takeda Shiro Katsuyori, this person would not easily withdraw Koshin from Nishiueno. Rather than counting on them to force the Takeda army to withdraw to Koshin, it is better for the family to take the initiative to annihilate the Takeda army or expel it from Ueno. Chao Ding shook his head and said. He didn't think that the Tokugawa family had so much energy that Takeda Shingen could mobilize a large number of troops to Tokaido, and the four prefectures of Higashimino alone bordered Mikawa Province, and the Tokugawa family was now semi-surrounded by the Takeda family, maybe Tokugawa Ieyasu would be unable to protect himself in the future, and it would be completely thankful that he could keep his family name.

"The lord didn't know that since the Takeda family had not been able to capture the entire territory of Kita Shinano and Nishiueno for a long time, then Takeda Daizen could only send troops to attack Mikawa in order to make the countrymen lords, wealthy clans, and retainers under his command gain more benefits. And the perfect excuse for attacking Mikawa is that Tokugawa Mikawa takes the initiative to attack Nishienjiang and form an offensive and defensive alliance with you. Once the Takeda family seized the entire territory of Mikawa, it would be more convenient to go from Tokaido to Rakuro in the future. And the last step of the Takeda family in leading the army to Shangluo must be to break the alliance with the Oda family, and at that time Takeda Daizen will still send an envoy to conclude a peace treaty. Yamazaki Hidesen said endlessly.

"The Takeda family's strategy of expanding their territory to the north and east was no longer possible, so in order to bring benefits to the lords, nobles, and retainers under his command, the Tokugawa family could only destroy the Tokugawa family in Mikawa. However, Oda Kamisuke also maintained an alliance with the Tokugawa family, and the eldest son of Tokugawa Mikawa Mamoru was still the son-in-law of Oda Kamisuke. "Asada, however, felt that Oda Nobunaga would still lend a helping hand to the Tokugawa family at a critical time.

"Lord Akikan, Lord Oda Kamisuke-sama may not necessarily offend the Daimyo of the Takeda family when attacking the people of the Northern Ise Kingdom such as Katayama, Akahori, Chikusa Seki, and Kobe, and according to his temper, it is very likely that he will ignore the Takeda family's attack on the Tokugawa family. Even the Wishing Temple around Nagashima was at odds with him, and he also married his sister Oda City to the Asai family's governor Asai Bizenhou, intending to join forces with the Asai family to attack the Rokkaku family. At this time, the Oda family was in the stage of rapid expansion of its territory, and Lord Oda Kamisuke should not give up the opportunity to expand his influence to Gyeonggi for the sake of the survival of the Tokugawa family. Yamazaki Hidesen immediately analyzed the surrounding situation for Asada.

"Junyanagisai's analysis is good, but I have already sent Kasahara Notomo, Kano Shinsuke, Ichikawa Gentosai and other generals to lead an army of 10,000 Chen soldiers to Sagami, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for Takeda Daizen to transfer troops to attack Mikawa on a large scale." Before the decision of the dynasty, the generals of the house, such as Kasawara Dingkatsu, Kano Hideharu, and Ichikawa Gentosai, led an army of 10,000 to merge with the generals of Sagami, such as Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Shinji, and Asahina Taichao, and once the Takeda family made a rash move, then they would quickly attack Izu and Suruga, and even go all the way north to Kai.

"Lord Mingjian, the Takeda family did not need to quickly destroy the Tokugawa family, Minami Shinano, Higashi Mino, and Enoe all bordered the Mikawa country, and the strength of the Takeda family in these three places did not hurt the muscles and bones, at least it was able to defeat the Tokugawa family and let it retreat to Nishimikawa." Hidesen Yamazaki did not think that Takeda Shingen would transfer troops on a large scale, and would only slowly encroach on Mikawa Province.

"It's okay, soon Toki Minomori will come here, and then the family will have the righteous reputation to attack the Takeda family. Even if the Honke family and the Takeda family conclude a peace agreement, the Honka will be able to pacify Okuba while the Takeda clan is developing westward. "At this time, Asadaki wants to promote peace with war, in exchange for time for his own continued development towards the two countries.
