Chapter 271: Yonglu Ueno Rebellion

Since Ashida Shinnori learned that the Uesugi army had annihilated the main force of the Ita army, he did not want to go to Ashida Castle to succeed him as the lord of Ashida Castle. This position of castle lord is a very hot potato for Ashida Shinnori.

Just when Ashida Nobunori hesitated, Gan Yakei led his army to annihilate the remnants of the Ita army and captured Ashida Castle. And Kenshin did not intend to entangle with Oi Sadakiyo and others in Odai Castle, and directly led the army into Ashida Castle.

Just as the good news of Humility is spreading, danger is also quietly coming.

In the second year of Yonglu, June 27th. Kawagoe Castle Honmaru Ohiroma.

"My lord, something is wrong! The Azuma people have already detected signs of bad intentions among the people of Nishiueno Province! Just as the court convened a military meeting to prepare for the increase of troops to Hitachi, Kato Danzo hurriedly walked into the Ohiroma and said a news that shocked everyone present.

"How is that possible?! Aren't the countrymen lords of Nishiueno all the sons-in-law of Nagano Shinano Moriden? How could they possibly cut in the midst of the victory of the Ruler Temple? There's no reason for that at all! "Ota Shimasa couldn't believe it after hearing the news from Kato Duanzo.

"It's true, Nishi-Ueno, except for Kohata Shosuke in Kohata Castle and Nagano Shinano Mamoru in Minowa Castle, all have dealings with the Takeda family." Kanzo Kato added.

"If this is the case, then the palace will become a turtle in an urn and a rat in a bag. It seems that the military advisor around Dr. Takeda Daizen is not simple. Yamazaki Hidesen said thoughtfully.

"The Takada family and the Urano family in Nishiueno can completely cut off the back road and supply line of the Guanling Palace, and at that time, the Guanling Hall will really be unable to escape." Tadanobu Hirosawa immediately thought of the two wealthy families of the Takada family and the Urano family.

"The palace is too anxious. If it hadn't been for the transfer of Oishi and Ayukawa into Sajiu County, it would have been good now, and now only the three generals of the main family, Shibata, Meio, and Tobira, would have been left in Nishiueno. They are merely self-sufficient. Ota said helplessly.

"Since the palace is in trouble, I can't help it. Once the family sends troops to rescue each other, then the palace owes the family a favor. As for the Jinggong side, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and he can't control the affairs of the Eastern Kingdom. Chao Ding felt that this was a good opportunity.

"The lord is right, the family still needs a strong ally to back it up." Hidesen Yamazaki immediately supported Asada's decision.

"Or send Nagano Yoshimori to inform Nagano Shinano Shouden and let him deal with the matter. If he can't solve it, then his own family can only send troops to quell the rebellion. Asada thinks that it is better to give Nagano a little face, after all, it is his son-in-law who is plotting against him.

"Lord, this family is still Chen Bingdong in the wilderness just in case. If Nagano Shinano guards the temple alone, I'm afraid that he will ······" Tadanobu Hirosawa did not believe that Nagano would be able to pacify the people of Nishiueno who were trying to rebel.

"Now that the people of the country have not raised the anti-flag, if Chen Bingdong goes to the field at this moment, it will undoubtedly force them to take risks." Chao Ding shook his head and said.

"Lord, if the family does not send troops, then once the palace is wiped out in Sakugun, it is difficult to guarantee that the retainers of the palace will not fall to the Takeda family or the sword soldiers of the family." Ota Shimasa said with a long sigh.

"Shillings of Higashi-Ueno, Ogasawara, Numata, Honjo, Momoi, Toshima, Soga, Omori, Hosoya, and Sato will be conscripted to be on standby, and Ueno will guard Uesugi Juro Keimitsu and control it." Chao Dingxian did not plan to send troops directly into Ueno, and he did not want to intensify the conflict now.

Although the court did not want to force the people of the West Ueno to raise the anti-flag too early, it backfired. The people of the country who heard the slightest rumor immediately took action, for fear of being suddenly attacked by Asadachi or Nagano Yoshimasa.

On June 28, Urano Shigenari, the lord of Oto Castle, united with the lord of Itabi Hawk's Nest Castle, the lord of Itala Mitsukei, the lord of Takada Castle, the lord of Iwasa Castle, Tomizawa Iyomori, the lord of Nakajo Castle, Yukinao Kano, the lord of Tansheng Castle Gokan Nobujun (Shinta Nobujun), and the lord of Takayama Castle, Takayama Yukishige, and others raised troops at the same time on this day. Even the Eda Castle lord of Higashi-Ueno, Yauchi Shiro Saemon, the lord of Hikobe Castle, the lord of Hikobe Nobukatsu, the lord of Miki Castle, Negishi Sukekuni, the lord of Akahori Castle, the lord of Akahori Castle, Shibukawa Yoshikatsu, the lord of Iwamatsu Castle, and the lord of Iwamatsu Castle, Jun Iwamatsu and others immediately responded to the raising of troops by Urano Shigenari and others, and for a while, only the four lords of Nishi-Ueno, Kohata Keimasa, Shibata Kiyomasa, Meio Masakatsu, and Tobiro Tomodai did not rebel.

Nagano Michigen's sons Nagano Fujikuro and Nagano Hikoshichiro led the 'Homecoming Group' composed of ronin, wild samurai and thieves with the intention of seizing the Stable Bridge Castle, which originally belonged to the Nagano family. In desperation, the brothers Nagano Fujikuro and Nagano Hikoshichiro could only lead 500 troops to capture Shangquan Castle between Meanhashi Castle and Dahu Castle.

As the rebellion of the lords of the countrymen in various parts of Ueno intensified, it even became a spark of fire. After the retainers in various parts of Ueno were unable to suppress the rebellion, the court had no choice but to send Ota Shimasa to lead the headquarters and the Shangshu soldiers into Ueno.

Since many of the rebellious lords were still Nagano Yoshimasa's sons-in-law, Nagano Yoshimasa was extremely ashamed. Even after he said something bad, Nagano Fujikuro, Ita Mitsukei, Urano Shigenari and others still went their own way, and they were determined to break with the Uesugi family. Fujii Tomodada, the lord of Hamagawa Castle, and Nagano Yoshigu, the lord of Takaru Castle, who are also the sons-in-law of Nagano Yoshimasa, chose to remain neutral and neither responded to the rebellion nor sent troops to assist Nagano Yoshimasa.

When Takeda Shingen of Shiota Castle learned that the countrymen and lords of Ueno had rebelled, he immediately led an army of 10,000 troops into Ita Castle, northwest of Ashida Castle. Takeda Nobuyoshi, who came to the aid of the starry night, led the 10,000 troops of the Suruga Toe Army into Komori Castle, and 3,000 troops were also stationed in Mochizuki Castle to the east of Ashida Castle. It can be said that Takeda Shingen intends to eat the 6,000 troops led by Kenshin in one bite.

Realizing that the situation was critical, Kenshin immediately convened a military meeting in Ashida Castle.

"Goya Xingden, let's make peace with Fujiwara Town Hall as soon as possible! Otherwise, it will be difficult for our army to break out of the encirclement. "Ayukawa Kiyocho originally thought that after staying in Kunifeng City for so long, he would finally have a chance to gain military exploits, but he never imagined that things would develop like this.

"Harmony? The Duke of Kyoto has sent an order from me to crusade against him, and if it weren't for the Takeda Army's invasion of Okushinano, you would have been outside Kawagoe Castle long ago. "Although Qianxin said this, he really wanted to reconcile with Chaoding in his heart, but he couldn't find a step down.

"Why didn't the Imperial Palace give an order to His Royal Highness the Fujiwara Town Mansion at this moment, ordering him to immediately send troops to help. If he comes with troops, then you will forgive the Fujiwara town government for its mistakes. After all, Yamauchi and Ogiya can only stabilize the eastern country if they work together. Besides, didn't the imperial court refer to Fujiwara Town as an enemy of the court? "The old minister Fuwang Temple filial piety gave Qianxin an idea.

"Yes. If the Fujiwara town government really had a disobedient heart, it would not have sent troops to come. But we can't fully count on his assistance, after all, our army is in the hinterland of the Takeda Domain. In order to annihilate our army, Takeda Daizen even transferred the troops of Suruga and Toe. Qianxin said with a smile.

"However, the road leading to Pingyuan Castle and Hirodo Castle has been blocked by the Takeda Army, and it is difficult for our army's envoys to reach Kawagoe Castle. It is reported that most of the countrymen and lords in Ueno have been subdued by the Takeda family, and many of them have raised their anti-flags······" Before Yasuda Keigen could finish speaking, Kenshin interrupted.

"Yashichiro! You led 500 troops to immediately break through to Heyue City. Kenshin immediately ordered Biwajima Hiroto to lead his army to Kawagoe Castle.

"Yes!" Hiroto Biwajima immediately left Ashida Castle Ohiroma.

"All the troops are out of battle!" Kenshin didn't intend to trap Ashida Castle, she didn't like to fight to defend the castle.

"Imperial Palace, our army's target is ······" Nagao Fujikei looked at Kenshin with a puzzled expression.

"Celestial Forest City." After Kenshin finished speaking, he walked out of the big wide room quickly.

Subsequently, Kenshin led his army to capture Tenjin Forest Castle, Kasuga Castle, Hyuga Castle, Maeyama Castle, Imai Castle, Domoto Castle, Oi Castle, Shiraiwa Castle and other places, directly bypassing the heavily defended area of the Takeda Army.

On June 30, Kenshin led his army into Hirodo Castle. And at this moment, Biwajima Hiroto led the army into Nishiueno.
