In the second year of Yonglu, on the night of the eighteenth day of the seventh month. The main hall of Ueno Johoji Temple.

"The criminal minister Nagano Shinano Shouye is seeing the town government. The criminal ministers were incompetent and failed to persuade the people of Nishiueno Province, such as Urano and Takada, to remain loyal to the Uesugi family. Among the rebellious countrymen, there are also the sons-in-law of the guilty ministers, and the guilty ministers cannot escape the involvement. I also hope that the town government will forgive the sins. As soon as Nagano Yemasa walked into the main hall of the Pure Law Temple, he immediately knelt down in front of the Asada.

"Nagano Shinano Shouden, what do you mean by this? Hurry up, please! Asada hesitated for a moment, then immediately walked to Nagano Yemasa's side and said.

"During this time, Ueno was the first to raise a counter-flag against you and the Guanling Palace, and it would be fine if there were only one or two people, but now there are several big body lords involved in the rebellion, and the criminal ministers have no shame to face the town government and the Guanling Palace." Nagano said helplessly.

"The country of Ueno is already full of Chinese lords, and the forces of all parties are mixed. Nagano Shinano Mamoru has been able to stabilize Nishi-Umino for the family and the Yamanuchi Temple over the years. The reason for the rebellion of the people in Nishiueno is nothing more than the fact that the Takeda family has invested heavily in the strategy and the Takeda stables have tens of thousands of soldiers in Saku and Koxian, and secretly sent them military rations and materials. These are not the faults of Nagano Shinano Shouden. Asadachi said after helping Nagano Yemasa up.

"Chen Xiaohat's book helps Jing Ding, see the town government." At this moment, Kohata Jingding walked in.

"Well, it came just in time. The two of you sent 6,000 troops, and Nagano Shinano Moriden served as the commander-in-chief. You lead your army into Kitashinsaku. When I merge with Honjo Musashisuke, Soga Sagamimoru and others, I will merge with you and others. As soon as Asada's words fell, Nagano Yesamasa and Kohata Jingding both looked at Asadaki dumbfounded.

"Dispatch to Saku······" Nagano was silent, and Kohata Keisai on the side began to talk to himself. They all knew how many Takeda troops there were in Saku-gun, and the number was exactly twice as large as theirs. The military strength of the wealthy clans in various places, the Shinano ancestors, ronin, wild samurai, etc., have not yet been counted. Once you are not careful to enter Saku-gun, then it is very likely that the 6,000-strong army will be wiped out in Saku-gun.

"The town government and the ministers and Nagano Shinano Shouden only have 6,000 troops, and the Takeda family has 10,000 troops from the Takeda stables and Shinano ancestors in the two counties of Kita-Shin-Saku and Ko-prefecture, do you want to reconsider?" Kohata Jingding was reluctant to send troops to Hokushin, in his opinion, it was tantamount to death.

"Reconsider? Then you can put down the rebellion of the people of Nishiueno with all your heart? They are related to you by marriage! As soon as Chaoding heard Kohata Jingding's words, he became angry, and finally thought of a way to let the two of them avoid fighting with the people of the country who had an in-law relationship with him, but he didn't expect them to be a little unhappy.

"Zhenfu Gong, that's not what books help him. He just wanted to say why only 6,000 troops entered Saku County first, and the 10,000 troops of Takeda's stable had already been deployed in various parts of Saku and Kooxian, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for Saku to send troops with 6,000 troops. Nagano Ye immediately stepped forward to play the round, and he could see that the court did not intend to change the order.

"It's true that the enemy army is strong, as long as Kohata Shosuke doesn't exchange letters with Takeda's family, you shouldn't have much resistance to sending troops to Saku." After Chaoding finished speaking, he motioned to Mori Katsuhiro to close the door of the main hall.

"The town government ······ Why do you say that all of a sudden······ The minister is loyal to the Uesugi family! Kohata Jingding immediately panicked and trembled.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's an eventful time, and the ninjas of the Azuma clan recently got the news that Kohata Books helped the Takeda family." Chao Ding said after sneering.

"The minister has always been loyal to his official duties, and he doesn't dare to have anything to do with the Takeda family!" Xiaohata Jingding immediately ran to Chaoding's front and knelt down with a thud.

"Kohata Shosuke's performance in recent years has been decent, but people are terrible, I don't know if Kohata Shosuke has proven himself ······" Before Asahi finished speaking, Kohata Jingding couldn't wait to speak.

"Minister······ There are still two daughters under the courtier's knees, if the town government does not dislike it, the minister will immediately dedicate it to the town government! Kohata then thought of a way to show his loyalty.

Kohata Keitei knew very well why Asadaki didn't question Nagano Yoshimasa, even if Nagano Fujikuro and Nagano Hikoshichiro of one of his sects and the people of Nishiueno raised troops to rebel, Asadachi would not be investigated. The reason is simple, Nagano Ye is sending his son Nagano Yesori to Asada's side as a hostage, but he has never sent a hostage.

Moreover, Kohata Keitari did have correspondence with the Takeda family before, but he had always done it very secretively, and he didn't know how Asadaki knew about it. Although Kohata Keedadi had no intention of rebelling, in order to keep his family name and the position of the head of the Ueno Kohata family, he had to send his two daughters, Yumi and Yusada, to Johoji Temple. If he doesn't do this, then it is very likely that the former Shuliu Kohata Keizong will replace him as the head of the Ueno Kohata family.

"Then I'll take care of Ling Ai for you for a while." Chao Ding nodded with satisfaction. In this way, the Kohata family, the largest countryman lord in the southern part of Nishi-Ueno, will not betray him.

After that, Kohata Keitasa and Nagano Yoshimasa led an army of 6,000 into Kitashinano Saku-gun. They will fight against an army of tens of thousands led by Takeda Nobuyoshige. The battle-hardened Nagano was worried about the trip.

However, the ensuing battle was not what Nagano and Kohata Keijo had in mind. Although the armies of Suruga and Enoe under the command of Takeda Nobushihiro were numerous, they did not unite with Takeda Nobuyoshi. Only the former Kokokuji Castle Lord Takeda Nobuyo, Tokura Castle Lord Kawawa Nobutomi, Katsuyama Castle Lord Katsuyama Shimoto (who accepted Takeda Shingenroku as his adopted son), Fukasawa Castle Lord Yokota Tsunama, Kawara Castle Lord Murosumi Koto, Maruko Castle Lord Ganli Masadada, Asahayama Castle Lord Kato Nobukuni, Koyama Castle Lord Hinata Masanari and other Takeda family relatives and retainers were reluctant to accept the command of Takeda Nobushige.

Since the Imagawa clan was proclaimed as the new Kanto prince by the daimyo of the eastern kingdom such as Asada, many former ministers of the Imagawa family knew it in their hearts, and they were well aware of the contrast between the strength of the Uesugi family and the Takeda family. The Uesugi family has now become the number one name in the eastern country, and as far as the eye can see, only Kita-Lu-o, Kitade-U, and Ezo are left in the entire eastern country that have not been captured by the Uesugi family. Asadachi even became the 'first bow in Banto', owning most of the territories of the eight countries of Kanto. The Takeda family, on the other hand, had only half of the Kai, Enoe, Suruga, and Izu Shikoku and Hida and Shinano, and less than one-third of the Uesugi family's national strength.

On July 18, Nagano Yoshimasa and Kohata Keitari marched to Oda Ihara and encountered an army of 10,000 led by Takeda Nobushigeru and 3,000 troops led by Shinano Shokashi Yatsu Motonao (son-in-law Takeda Shingen), Oi Sadakiyo, Maruko Heinai, Yoryotsuki Gomori, Ojuju Shigemasa, and Inamoro Saburo Uemon.

"Shusuke, God is going to make me wait here to meet the Takeda Army." Nagano couldn't help but laugh after speaking.

"Shinano Shouden, what do you mean by that?" Kohata Jingding was a little confused by the second monk.

"Once, the Kensei Gong sent the Sixteen Cavalry of Kurakano as the vanguard, and more than 10,000 troops went out to Saku-gun, just to rescue Shiga Castle, which belonged to the Uesugi family. However, it was attacked by the special forces of the Takeda Army, such as Itagaki Suruga Nobukata and Ganri Bizen Shouhutai, and more than a dozen generals and more than 3,000 soldiers died here. Nagano couldn't help but recall that he had tried hard to persuade him, but Uesugi Kenmasa still decided to send troops to Saku-gun.

"It was in that battle that the retainers of the Kensei Gong and the lords of the country betrayed the Uesugi family one after another." Kohata Jingding said after sighing.

"Yes, since God has chosen the place for the battle, then we can't change it." Then, after taking a few steps forward, Nagano Yemasa shouted at the 6,000 troops behind him: "The time has come to avenge the Uesugi family soldiers who died in the Battle of Oda Ihara!" The old man has regretted that he has not been able to walk with the samurai who have been sleeping here for a long time, and today I will let the Takeda family see the power of the Shangshu samurai! ”

"Oh!"
