Chapter 303: Ota Falls Out of Favor
"The country of Meinong is located in the land of the four wars, and it is the country of the four wars. It is bounded by Feiju to the north, Shinju to the east, Gangju to the west, and Weiju to the south. It is very close to Kyoto, and the streets of Japan are well connected. Neighboring Owari has a direct connection to the Tokaido Road, and from the vicinity of Sekigahara, it connects Hokkoku Kaido, Higashiyama-do, and Ise Kaido, making it a hub for transportation around the world and a good place to use troops. However, you can win the world. Now that the Oda family and the Takeda family have not been able to fully occupy Mino Province, this just shows that neither of them can do much, and it will not last long. Saito Michizo immediately found himself a staircase to go down.
"Yamashiro Mamoru has a point. However, back then, the Toki family occupied the Mino Kingdom for so long and failed to seize the world, and the once invincible family governor Lai Yuangong was only a daimyo under the banner of the Kyoto Gong Fang Zun Clan, and Yamashiro Shou Don't talk about others. Toki Lai Yi shook his head and said. He doesn't think the rumor that 'whoever gets the beauty gets the world' is true.
"What the lord said is very true." Saito Michizo nodded. Although he once occupied the entire Mino Province, he did not fulfill his youthful dream of replacing the shogun Ashikaga clan and establishing a new shogunate.
"Mamoru Yamashiro, since you came to Kanto, the Toki family of the Upper President and the Toki family of Edozaki have cut off their family names one after another, and none of the clansmen have left. It seems that you, the oil seller, are really the disaster star of my Toki clan. Toki Laiyi said helplessly.
"Lord······ The same cannot be said for that. Life and death are fateful, and since the two of them have chosen the path of destruction, they can't blame others. "Michizo Saito doesn't have a good impression of the Toki family and the Edozaki Toki family.
"You're right. At present, you can only rely on your son-in-law to get the land and the territory. If you insisted on marrying your daughter to Owari Tiger's sister-in-law, Oda Kamisuke, then I'm afraid you wouldn't be in front of me at this moment. Toki Yorigi was much happier at the thought of Saito Michizo being rebelled against by his own son and losing the country of Mino.
“······” Saito Michizo was silent, and he himself didn't know how to answer Toki Yorii.
At the same time, Kawagoe Castle Honmaru Ohiro room.
"See the town of Fugong, Koyamaden only has 18,000 troops at the moment, and there are not enough troops to fight the Edo family, please be sure to send reinforcements to Hitachi to support!" As soon as Mr. Deura entered the Ohiro room of Kawagoe Castle, he said straight to the point.
"Oh? Kibei: It seems that he has a problem. So does he want me to send Shangshu soldiers or Iwafu to Changlu to support? "Chao Ding currently has only these two armies at hand to mobilize, and he doesn't want Xiaoshan to open his mouth to the lion at this time.
"Koyamaden, I hope you can dispatch Iwafu to Hitachi. It is better for the Shangzhou soldiers to continue to stay in Musashi Gongwei River and Yuecheng. "Sosuke Deura immediately said the wishes of Asaki Koyama.
"Iwafuzhong? Kibei is really good at picking people. On the one hand, it is not a day or two that Iwatsuke has been idle in Musashi, and on the other hand, Iwatsuke will enter Hitachi faster than the Kamishu soldiers. Chao Ding nodded and said. He felt that Koyama Asakyuki must have sent someone after careful consideration, and if it was someone else, he would definitely ask him to send Shangzhou soldiers there.
"Koyamaden is now unable to receive the support of the generals of Minami Changriku, such as Kiuchi, Matsudo, Taira, and Dan, and the troops are not enough to complete the battle. Even if the Edo family is defeated, it will not be able to quickly attack the Edo domain. Even the captured cities need to leave a considerable number of troops behind. "Sosuke Deura informed Asadachi of the situation.
"Yes. I also had a general understanding of the situation in Hitachi. Kasama Castle's Shioya Chikuzen Mamoru also urgently needs reinforcements to defend Kasama Castle, and Kibei also needs a considerable number of troops to guard the grain route and the small lotus team. Katsuhiro, you immediately go to Iwatsuke Castle to inform Ota Saemonzo, and ask him to make Iwatsuke people ready to go into battle! In addition, the general of Iwatsuki this time will not be Ota Saemonsa, but his brother-in-law Mitsunohe Suruga Mamoru will be in charge. In order not to increase the pressure on Koyama Asayaki, Asada's brother-in-law Miho Keido (formerly known as Miho Koyoshi, the son of the Sagami Miura clan and the retainer of the Ogiya Uesugi family, Miho Yoshinobu) was going to be the general of Iwatsuko.
"That's great! The hill hall will not disappoint you. "Izuura was very happy when he heard this decision of the Asada. In this way, Ota, who has a high prestige in the family, will not point fingers and interfere with Koyama Asakyuki's decision. And Koyama Asayaki can also let go of his hands and feet to fight with the Edo family.
Shortly after Ueura's Sosuke left Kawagoe Castle, Mori Katsuhiro, the envoy of the Asada, came to the outside of Iwatsuke Castle to convey the orders of the Asada. As soon as Shimasasa Ota in Iwasuke Castle learned that the envoy sent by the court, Mori Katsuhiro, had arrived outside Iwatsuke Castle, he immediately brought his brother-in-law Minohe Keichi and his family's important ministers Fukushima Boshige, Kasuga Hachiro, Honma Kogoro, Kawaguchi Shogun and others to greet him.
"Ota Saemon Saden and Minohe Suruga Guardian Hall, the lord ordered me to come and convey the order to Iwatoko to go out of battle, and I will not enter the castle." Mori Katsuhiro rode on his horse and said to Ota Shimasa, Minohe Keido and others who were standing outside the gate of Iwatsuke Castle.
"Since the lord ordered Yan Fuzhong to go out into battle, then I immediately ordered someone to prepare." Ota Shimasa immediately turned around and ordered Fukushima Boshige, Kasuga Hachiro, Honma Kogoro, Kawaguchi Shogun and others who were standing behind him to go to their respective fiefdoms to transfer troops.
"By the way, the lord ordered that the commander-in-chief of this battle will be Minohe Suruga Guardian Temple, and Ota Saemon Saden will stay behind Iwafu Castle, and there must be no mistake." Mori Katsuhiro said to Ota Shimasa after seeing that Ota's retainers had left.
"What?! Why? As soon as Mori Katsuhiro's words fell, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Ota Shimasa.
"As for the reason, you should go to Heyue City in person and ask the lord, I'm just in charge of passing the word." After Mori Katsuhiro finished speaking, he walked away.
"Brother, doesn't your lord trust you?" Minohe Jingdao looked at the dull-eyed Ota Zimasao beside him and said.
"Heishiro, as the general general, you will lead the generals of Iwa to join the battle of Hitachi and Koyamaden······" Ota said tremblingly.
"Brother······ Minohe Jingdao looked at Ota Zimasa like this, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Now that the lord is very important to the relatives and the family, the lord will not necessarily reuse the ······ in the future." Ota Shimasa sighed and slowly walked into Iwatsuke Castle.
"Uncle, what's wrong with my father?" Ota Gengoro (son of Ota Shimasa) looked at Minohe Keido suspiciously.
"Alas, don't mention it, the Iwatsuki Ota family may never be reused again, and although your father is still the head of the family at the moment, he may soon be replaced by a family member or a family member." Minohe Jingdao looked at Ota Gengoro and said helplessly.
Subsequently, Minohe Jingdao led the Iwatsuki Ota family's retainers Fukushima Boshige, Kasuga Hachiro, Honma Kogoro, Kawaguchi Shogun and others, as well as the former Edo Ota family retainers and the former Odawara Ise family retainers who had defected to the Iwatsuki Ota family to the Hitachi family, and only a dozen or so Ashigaru who remained in Iwatsuke Castle and Ota Shimasa were left.
In the second year of Yonglu, October 9th. When Shigeie Shinbata, Mitsuki Suda, Dingyoshi Fujita, Usami Tadatsukatsu, Kohata Keizune, Shimazu Tadanao, Tosabayashi Zento, Takasaka Masakatsu, Abe Yoshiki, Ikeda Morikuni and others joined forces with Echigo to raise the northern people, Yasuda Yushige and Kurokawa Kiyomi and others will capture Thunder Castle with 12,000 troops, kill more than 200 people of Nagao Fujikei's army, and the castle general Ueda Fujiemon Captain was captured.
"You're Captain Ueda Fujiemon, the defender of Thunder City?" Shigeta Shigeya said after glancing contemptuously at Captain Ueda Fujiemon.
"Yes······" Captain Ueda Fujiemon said tremblingly.
Nagao Toe Mamoru didn't want to think about where his own territory was located, so he raised an army to rebel. If it weren't for us waiting for Yurigun, I'm afraid he would have been in a different place by now. Suda said after sneering.
"Well, if you don't go out of battle, we won't have to worry about defensive skills." Kurokawa Kiyoshi said helplessly. During this time, Nagao Fujikei's army constantly attacked his territory, making him anxious.
"The Lord has an order, we are just acting on orders, and you don't complain about Suruga guarding the temple. When the time comes, the Lord will suggest to the Imperial Palace that you be given more territory when you are transferred. Fujita Dingyoshi immediately walked over to Kurokawa Kiyoshi's side and said.
"Really? I haven't been transferred until now after the last time the town government was able to go out, and it is estimated that this is also the reason for the rebellion of Nagao Yuanjiang. Kurokawa Kiyomi said after smiling.
"Also, now there are only two big body lords left in this northern place, you and me. Even the family members and relatives of the Imperial House Imperial Palace have been given a lot of territory, but the oldest and most meritorious Nagao Enoe Mamoru has no reward, and he didn't even mention the matter of the transfer of the Imperial House. Yasuda nodded heavily.
