Just when the Ashikaga Nagao family in Shimono was about to be destroyed, Kenyasu Numata in Ueno was not having a good time. In the end, Numata Kentai, who held out until June 2, could not hold on. With the fall of Ninomaru and Demaru in Numata Castle, he himself could only commit suicide by seppuku in Honmaru.

After the Ueno Numata family was destroyed, the court gave a total of 39,000 koku to Yumitsu Numata Castle (10,000 koku), Numata Castle (20,000 koku), Ishikura Castle (5,000 koku), Ogawa Castle (3,000 koku), Meitokuji Castle (500 koku), and Makuiwa Castle (500 koku). And named Yumitsu Numata as a general.

More than 1,000 people of the Ichijo Party led by Shinbata Chotsu and Shinbata Shigeya also attacked the unsuspecting Tanigawa Mt. Toru and Shimizu Ka with the assistance of the Azuma ninjas, and all the more than 50 defenders in the two places were taken.

The Shinbata army began to enter the territory of the Ueda Nagao family, and they would not be able to receive further assistance from the Kanto region.

However, the previous court decided to send the two brothers Shinbata Chotsu and Shinbata Shigeya to Echigo, which meant that a large number of Ueda Nagao troops were transferred out of their skills to fight in Kamietsu and Sino-Vietnam, and the defense forces on the border were very scarce. In this way, it also gave Xinfa Tian Changdun and others the opportunity to 'attack but not defend'.

Attacking it is not from "The Art of War". The original text is "Those who attack and must take, attack what they do not defend." This means that launching an attack on a vulnerable combat target is a combat strategy that cannot be defended. This is the same as "from the way of not being safe, attacking it without stopping." "Something like that.

The Shimizu Card can go north to reach Sakado Castle, while the Tsutaru Card can only reach Arato Castle, the gateway to the south of Sakado Castle.

After discussing it, the two of them decided not to attack Sakado Castle, the home of the Ueda Nagao family, but to attack the Arato Castle at the foot of Iishi Mountain.

However, the two of Uesugi Keimitsu and the guest general Nagao Keitaka led the headquarters of 3,000 soldiers and horses to capture the Totaru Card and the Shimizu Card after Shinbata Nagatsu and others attacked the Totaru Card and the Shimizu Card, and further captured the Asashi Castle and the fire punch card on the side of Sencang Mountain, and the Asabei Castle guard Toyono Left was captured.

Soon, two days later, the four thousand troops of the two armies converged in the city of Wasteland. Since the city was unguarded, it also caused Xinfada Changdun and others to immediately rush into the city to occupy the curl wheels and surrounding outposts, and completed the occupation of the city.

For the 4,000 reinforcements to Echigo composed of Uesugi Keimitsu, Shinbata Nagatsu, Nagao Keitaka and others, Asadaki was not too optimistic. The first task he gave them was to disrupt the deployment of the long-tail view room as much as possible, and not let them occupy too many cities, checkpoints, and levels.

Nagano Michiyasu and Nagano Kentada withdrew with the Nagano army after the fall of Numata Castle. And the four of Tobira, Tomota, Meio Masakatsu, Shibata Kiyomasa, and Nagai Masami could only lead 1,500 troops to Yanagisawa Castle to garrison.

Since the old collar of the Numata family still needs to be digested by Yumitsu Numata, the old collar of the Shirai Nagao family still needs to be digested by Honjo Shirancho. The court was not prepared to put more troops into Echigo. At this moment, Takeda Shingen has completed the formation of the Nishi-Ueno Ancestors, and he still needs a large number of troops to defend and expel the forces of the Takeda family in Ueno. Therefore, it is not possible to provide more support to Shinbata Chodun.

While Asadachi was still in Guidie's room, carefully looking at the oath of alliance with the Oda family, Ayahime came here with Kenshin with a big belly.

"Should I call you Uesugi Asadashi or Fujiwara Asada? Don't think I don't know anything because I'm recuperating at my sister's! Qianxin sat down with great difficulty and said angrily to Chaoding.

"Uh・・・・・・" Chao Ding put down the oath in his hand first, and walked to the opposite side of Qianxin and sat down.

"Goro, the Uesugi family is at a critical juncture at the moment. The flames of war were ignited in Echichu, Echigo, Okushinano, Ueno, Shimono, Kamiso, Aizu, Dewa, and Mutsu. Why don't you tell Tiger Chiyo about these things? Ayahime knew that it was not easy for Kenshin now, so she asked Chaoding directly for her.

"Could it be that telling the Imperial Palace will alleviate some relief? Murakami was killed in a desperate battle with Katsuwei Castle in both the defense and the Ichichi Castle, and only the last son, Murakami Kunikiyo, fled to Iiyama Castle under the escort of Kiyohide Kiyono, the old man at home. Takeda Shingen has also completed the compilation of the Nishiueno Ancestors, and their number has reached 5,000! Asada paused, "By the way, the Soma family sent a high-quality white horse some time ago, and I named it 'Yanwu', hoping that it will bring peace to the Uesugi family・・・・・・"

"Most of the family's troops have been dragged all over the Kanto region, and they are no longer able to support Echigo・・・・・・," Sanada Masayuki, who was waiting outside the door, said for Asada, but was quickly silenced by Kenshin's glare.

"Yes・・・・・・" Qianxin was still disappointed after hearing this. She knew very well that if her stronghold, Kasugayama Castle, was lost, then the Echigo-Kamietsu area would be undefendable and would soon be occupied by the rebels. At that point, it's really irreparable.

"I'm sorry, but Aizu's Taoo Zhang Mamoru is no longer able to save the Nagao Sabu and other Uesugi retainers of Sushima Castle. It is very likely that they will die in battle. "Before the court was determined, I learned about the master's letter written by Nagao Xianchang. The samurai who delivered the message was seriously wounded during the siege and died in a forest. Fortunately, the ninja who belonged to Deura Shouqing handed over the bloodstained letter layer by layer and reached the hands of Asada.

"This is a letter from the Long Tail Sweep Department!" Sanada Masayuki handed the bloody letter to Kenshin and immediately returned to the door to wait.

"Takeda, Hojo, Date, Mogami, Daihoji... Kenshin quickly looked at it and was very angry, Echigo Heavy Ministers Nagao Hidenaga, Shimayama Zhou Defense, Shento Dewa Mamoru and so on were all in the island castle cage castle, but she was powerless to rescue. This is the most humiliating thing for humility.

"The good news is there. Echichu Kakizaki Izumi Mamoru, Usami Suruga Mamoru and Okuma Bizen Mamoru have annihilated the rebels in Echichu, and the thieves such as Yasuyin Shiina, Keinao Shiina, and Shiina Shigeyin have all been captured. Chao Ding slowly got up and walked to the door of the living room, looking at the gradually withering cherry blossoms in the courtyard and said. These cherry blossoms were transplanted from the vicinity of Edo Castle and are of the Edo Bungean variety. The flower color is mostly light red, but there are also pure white and reddish-purple.

"I hope you, the 'Dongguo Taishou', can stabilize the situation in the next few months." Kenshin didn't plan to say anything more, so he left here with Ayahime's support.

After a while, Asadashi wrote his name as 'Fujiwara Town Shogun Asada' on the oath and stamped it with the seal of 'Kanto Town Guard', and handed the oath to Hirosawa Tadanobu, who needed Hirosawa Tadanobu to run Mino again and give this oath to Oda Nobunaga.

It was also on the afternoon of this day that Futaki Shigetaka, a retainer of Ogasawara Naga, came to Kawagoe Castle to report the good news that Shimono Ashikaga Castle had fallen. The Ashikaga Nagao family such as Nagao Kencho and Nagao Nacho committed suicide in the castle, and the Ashikaga Nagao family was destroyed.

This news is good news for the Asada, once the Ashikaga Castle is occupied by the Ashikaga Nagao family, as well as the surrounding branch cities of Itakura Castle, Komata Castle, Yaba Castle, Nakazato Castle, Birazaki Castle, Iwaiyama Castle, Mono Castle, Akami Castle, etc., then it is equivalent to completely opening the west gate of Shimono.

The court can't be happy too soon. Only the three counties of Ashikaga-gun, Nasu-gun, and Ryota-gun in Shimono Ichigoku were under the control of the Uesugi family, and the remaining Anso-gun, Kawachi-gun, Kankawa-gun, Toga-gun, Hoga-gun, and Shiotani-gun were under the control of the Sano family, the Mibu Hatta family, the Minagawa Koyama family, the Mashiko family, the Kanuma Mibu family, and the Motegi Hatta family, respectively. In addition, remnants of the Furukawa shogunate such as the Ashikaga Fuji clan also roamed in the above-mentioned prefectures.

On June 3, before Nobutsuna Sano, Ogasawara Nagatoki, Nishiritashi, and Momoi Yoshitaka had been resting in Ashikaga Castle for a long time, the Shimono Kuniashikaga Commandery and Ryoda Commandery Akiyama Setsuna sent by the Asadatsuna arrived early in the morning. He was appointed by the court to possess Ashikaga Castle (10,000 koku), Iwaiyama Castle (500 koku), Nakazato Castle (500 koku), Komata Castle (500 koku), Yaba Castle (500 koku), and Maono Castle (500 koku) and 12,500 koku Chiyukichi.

Sano Nobutsuna can only return to his ability to standby, and Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki, who is a guest general, and Momoi Yoshitaka, a retainer of the Uesugi family, and Momoi Yoshitaka, a member of the clan, also need to immediately lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to Nishiueno to support. If the Takeda clan in Ueno is not eliminated, then the rear of the Uesugi clan will not be stable.

The demise of the Ueno Numata family and the Ashikaga Nagao family finally gave Asadachi the idea of going out in person.

At present, the only troops that the court can use are 8,000 'Shangzhou soldiers' and the Heyue Knights and Bayonet Iron Artillery Corps that he has set up, with a total strength of more than 10,000.

However, in order not to let the Takeda and Hojo families be too 'idle', he imitated Takeda Shingen and began to form his own ancestors. The Hakka generals of Suruga and Enoe, such as Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, and Asahina Shinji, were organized as "Tokaido Pioneers", with Imagawa Shinma at the head and Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Shinji, and Asahina Taichao as the deputy commanders. The military service line is on the mountain and the road.

The mission of the "Tokaido Pioneers" is to conquer the lands of Sagami, Izu, Suruga, and Enoe, and to restore the name of the Suruga Imagawa family. As long as they and the Saito Michizo and others in the area of the Boso launched an attack on the Hojo family at the same time, then the Hojo clan will be exhausted. In the end, Takeda Shingen also had to divide his forces to support Suruga, Izu and other places and enter the Hojo Territory to support the Hojo family. This is the strategy of 'braking with motion' formulated by the DPRK.
