Just as Kenshin's invasion of Kita-Shinano Saku and O-prefecture was in full swing, Asada's invasion of Hitachi, central Dewa, and central Mutsu also began.

And now (June of the second year of Eiroku), the situation in the entire Dongguo region is as follows:

North: Since Kenshin completely stabilized his rear and sea routes after pacifying the three counties of Yangbuk and Sado, shipping was safer and more stable. Vietnam, China and Noto have also been almost digested after transferring a large number of important ministers and cronies, and they could completely launch an invasion of Kaga; Kanto Plain: Except for Hitachi, the rest were occupied by the Imperial Court. The Edo family in Hitachi was persuaded by Yamazaki Hidesen to fall to the court. The Oda family and the Kashima family are about to be attacked by Miyagi Masayi and Nambada Hiroyoshi;

Tohoku Ou and two countries: Shinbata Shigeie and other Shonai generals sent troops to the Northern Expedition to the Yuri Party, while the Onodera family was divided into two routes, half led by the Shigetomi Rokugo family and Hachibai Michiwei in the Northern Expedition to the Tozawa family, and the other half led by Onodera Keido to attack the Osaki family. And because Kasai's cronies were hostages on the side of the court, the Kasai family did not dare to immediately face the court;

Michinoku: Tao Qingxian and Naito Masatoyo joined forces with the Soma family and Tamura family Ichitsu to lead an army south to attack the Satake family.

Since the Edosaki Toki family was a branch of the Mino-toki family, when the current governor of the Edosaki Toki family, Toki Jiei, learned that Saito Michizo was living in Koshi Castle under the protection of the Asada, and he was determined to stand on the opposite side of the Asada. Knowing that the strength of the Edozaki Toki family was not enough to compete with the Asada, Toki took the initiative to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Oda family.

After Asada learned that the Edozaki Toki family was unwilling to be lonely, he made some noise, so he asked Saito Michizo to come out again. After all, the father of the current head of the Edozaki Toki family, Toki Jiei, is the younger brother of Mino to protect Toki Yoriyi. Therefore, Asadaku plans to let Saito Michizo settle his grievances with the Toki family by himself. And Saito Michizo didn't go empty-handed, and Asadachi knew that the wealthy family of the 33rd Pavilion of Minami Changlu was not a good stubble, so he let Saito Michizo serve as the general general of the Minami Changlu strategy, and controlled the general generals such as Yamamoto Temple Dingchang, Nambada Hiroyoshi, Miyagi Masaye, Miyagi Weiye, Shinbata Chodun, Gomi Takashige, Kibe Fan Hu and other generals.

In order to achieve a surprise effect, Saito Michizo planned to attack Minami Tsunachi in multiple ways. Generals Miyagi Masayu, Miyagi Yoshi, and Namba Hiroyoshi led 6,000 troops to Kashima Jingu in the southeast of Hitachi Province, while the two of them, Shinbata Nagatsu, the lord of Saigo Tsukai Castle, and Gomi Takashige, the lord of Morokawa Castle, were arranged by Saito Michizo to lead 4,000 troops to attack Oda Castle, the home of the Nishihichi Oda family.

Just after the offensive of the Sugi army on the west and south roads began, the lord of Koyama Castle, Asayuki Koyama, and the lord of Mabe Castle, Mabe Sogan, attacked the Kasama family. When Yoshiaki Satake in Ota Castle learned about it, he immediately asked the Ashikaga Fuji clan to come forward and ask the Edo family to send troops to help the Kasama family.

Edo Tadamichi is not a fool, Yamazaki Hidesen had come to Mito Castle once before and reminded him that if Asadashi really wanted to pacify Hitachi Ichikoku, he would not attack from one direction. Moreover, Edo Tadamichi also learned from Hosaku, who later returned from the seven counties of Sendo, that Tao Qingxian, Naito Masatoyo, Soma Yoshiyin, Tamura Takaaki and others would lead an army of 15,000 to the south, and if you count Oyama Asayayuki, Akiyama Dingzuna, Akechi Mitsutada and others, then the Uesugi army will not be less than 20,000. After weighing it up repeatedly, Edo Tadamichi mobilized 2,000 troops to support the Kasama family, and actually prepared to go north to attack the Satake family's Ishizuka Castle.

On June 23, after learning that Shinbata Nagatsu and Gomi Takashige had led 4,000 troops into Nishi-Changriku, Oda immediately dispatched 2,500 troops from Shinta Hyogo, Shinta Notomori, and Tadobe Danmasa to garrison Ebijima Castle. As long as Ebishima Castle is still in the hands of the Oda family, then even if the two of Shinbata Chotsu and Gomi Takashige seize the Oda family's original base, Oda Castle, their own back roads will be cut off.

When Saito Michizo learned that Oda Clan had sent nearly half of his troops to garrison Ebijima Castle, he immediately led 2,000 troops from his headquarters and 4,000 troops from Yamamoto Temple and Kibe Fantora from Takai Castle north into Minamitsukiriku. The lord of Itabashi Castle, Okami Yorihisa, saw nearly 10,000 Uesugi soldiers approaching the castle and immediately abandoned the castle and fled, and informed Odami Jizi of Ushikujo Castle of the news. Before Okami Jiji could gather his troops, Saito Michizo led his army to Ushiku Castle non-stop.

At the same time, Nambada Hiroyoshi and Miyagi Masayi and Miyagi Weiye annihilated the 2,000 Kashima Army outside Kashima Castle and won the Kashima family's head Kashima Jitoki, Yanda Tadashikan and other generals. Namba Hiroyoshi and others took advantage of the victory to seize Kashima-gun.

The Shimazaki family, the Kitaura Takeda family, the Tega family, the Tamazuma family, and the Serizawa family in Gyukata County, west of Kashima County, were all horrified when they heard the news of the destruction of the Kashima family and the capture of Kashima County. However, horror to horror, the wealthy clans of Gyokata County still planned to take advantage of the difficulty of Hakuda Hiroyoshi and others to capture Kashima County and gain a firm foothold to drive them out of Minami Changriku. However, the idea is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. The allied forces of the Hao clan in Gyokata County were attacked head-on by Hiroyoshi Nambada and Miyagi Masayi outside Yantian Castle, and the coalition army fled back to Gyokata County in disarray after suffering 1,000 casualties.

The 500 troops led by Tokihiro Kasama, Kasama Mitsuna, and Tadashi Mitsukawa to rescue Hashimoto Castle were ambushed by Akechi Mitsutada north of Mt. Tsukuba, and less than 100 of the Kasama army retreated to Kasama Castle.

With the frequent emergencies on the western and southern fronts, not only Yoshiaki Satake, but even Ashikaga Fuji and Harsuke Ryoda began to sit still. They knew very well that if they didn't hold the south and west of Hitachi, even if they held Okutachi, it would be in vain. Satake Yoshiaki and Ashikaga Fuji began to send envoys to the Edo family to rescue the Kasama family. Edo Tadamichi knew very well that if the situation was not urgent, Satake Yoshishowa and Ashikaga Fuji would not have sent envoys to Mito Castle so diligently. This strengthened his idea of sending troops north.

On June 25, an army of 15,000 led by Tao Haru-ken, Naito Masatyo, Soma Yoshiyin, Tamura Takaaki and others marched south into Oku-Changriku and captured the Imperial Castle Hall of the Satake family and the governor of the eastern family, Satake Yoshiken, who was captured and beheaded.

That night, Yoshiaki Satake convened an evaluation meeting of important ministers in Ota Castle.

"My lord, the Imperial Castle Pavilion has been attacked, the Zuo Jian Hall has been killed, and there is almost no danger to defend the north of Ota Castle!" Yoshitada Koba knew that speaking out about this would cause panic among the important ministers in the family, but he still said it after all.

"Akiyama, Soga, Takai and others in Shimono haven't led their troops to Changlu yet, and now the family is already so passive!" Satake Yoshiirao said unwillingly.

"Father, something is wrong! Edoke ······ The Edo family has sent troops! Satake Yoshishige hurriedly ran into the big wide room and said intermittently.

"Isn't it good that the Edo family sends troops? Why is it a big deal? "Yoshiaki Satake hasn't figured out what's going on yet.

"Edo's family cut! The 2,000 Edo troops attacked the family's Ishizuka Castle under the banner of supporting the Kasama family! Yoshishige Satake said after calming down.

"What?! Edo Tajima Mamoru! Satake Yoshiaki almost fainted after hearing this, and he used most of the military forces recruited by his family to defend against the Uesugi army from Minamichinoku and Shimono, and he didn't expect Edo Tadamichi to stab himself at this time.

"There are still more than 5,000 enemy troops in Kashima County, and the Hao clan alliance army in Xingfang County has been completely defeated. I am afraid that the Oda family and the Edosaki Toki family will soon be attacked by the enemy as well. Satake Yoshiren said helplessly.

"If I knew this, my family shouldn't have accepted Ashikaga Fuji and other traitors!" Okamoto said angrily.

"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more. Just let the Fujiwara town government see the strength of our and other Banto warriors! "Yoshiaki Satake is going to fight a fish and the net is broken.

It was only after Odami Jiji of Ushikujo Castle was besieged by Saito Michizo that Oda suddenly realized that he had been deceived. Just when Oda ordered Katsusada Sugatani and Masada Sugatani of Tsuchiura Castle to send troops to the rescue, he received the news that the Kasama family and the Kashima family had been destroyed, and Oda was shaken. When Katsusada Sugatani and Masada Sugatani led their troops to Kuno, they learned that Ushikujo Castle had been breached and all the Okami clan had been killed, so they had to return with their army.
