In the second year of Hongji, July 5th. Asadachi took Ayahime to Echigo Kasuga Yamajo Castle on the pretext of visiting relatives. On this trip, Chao Ding brought his own personal guard, four hundred knights of the Heyue Knights, and the old man of the family, Nan Ha Tian Kenji. To say that the command of the Kawagoe Knights is only owned by the Uesugi family's pen head old Ota Shimasa and Namba Tian Kenji and Namba Tian Hiroyoshi, it can be said that apart from these three people, Chaoding really doesn't know who else can be handed over to command.

For the incident of transferring the Kakizaki Jingjia to send troops without authorization, the dragon girl can be said to be furious. Even in the living room of the castle tower, he scolded the court in front of his sister Ayahime.

"The repair doctor is so bold! You can actually carry me, the governor of the Long Tail family, and mobilize the retainers and troops of the Long Tail family to attack the missile?! The dragon girl looked angry, and Ayahime seemed to feel that the court theorem was wrong, so she had to sit next to the dragon girl first to let her dissipate her anger.

"Tiger Chiyo, if you want to say that the dynasty is not determined, I will admit it. After all, this incident was caused by the civil strife in the Saito family, and it was not easy for Sister Guidie to be alone in Aizu. At that time, when it became a side room, there was not even a maid to dowry. Just take your breath away. Ayahime hurriedly poured a glass of sake for the dragon girl and gave her, although she was very opposed to her drinking, but at this time she had to let her drink.

"Sister! If he doesn't punish the repair doctor for this matter, the retainers of the Nagao family will all become the retainers of the Uesugi family in his Ogiya area! The dragon girl said after drinking the wine glass.

"How to punish? Do you want to make him seppuku? You, who are a sister, really want to watch your sister be widowed? After Ayahime finished speaking, she sat next to Chaoding. And Chaoding didn't say a word since he came in, and stared at the tatami mats and counted the lattices.

"Sister, that's not what I meant." The dragon girl looked at her sister, and if you dared to let me be widowed, I would stare at you to death, and it was not easy to say anything.

"Forget it, since the Fuchu Temple wants me to seppuku, I will first take the Musashi Province occupied by the Hojo family and hand it over to the Uesugi family, and when I have an heir, I will cut my stomach." Chaoding put the co-errand on the tatami mat on his body, although he didn't really want to cut his stomach, he had to act at least a little.

"Enough! You guys...... I can't talk about you! The dragon girl poured another glass of sake and finished drinking, she was also completely defeated by the Chaoding couple. I didn't expect that my sister was really the water spilled by her married daughter, and she kept helping Chao Ding speak, but she became a sinner.

"That's it, as for the reparation, I will join forces with the Satake family and the Utsunomiya family to participate in the battle when the Fuchu Hall sends troops to Kanto." Chaoding can only call these two who have something to do with him, and the other daimyo really haven't been in contact with it.

"Here you go." After putting the wine glass away, the dragon girl took out two letters-like Dongdong from her sleeve and gave them to the court.

"It's!" When Asada opened one of them, he was surprised, and when he looked closely, the content said, "Uesugi Repair Doctor Asadari is a loyal minister of the shogunate, and he is specially appointed as a Sagami guardian"! After reading it, the content is almost the same, but it's the duty of appointing himself to protect Izu!

"Tiger Chiyo, this is?!" Ayahime also took one and looked at it after seeing Asada's surprised expression, and she was also surprised.

"Yes, when I met with the shogun this time, the shogun was also angry that Gohojo had stolen Kanto. When I agreed to inherit the Yamauchi Uesugi family, I also entrusted the guardianship of the two countries to the repair doctor. "The dragon girl is now calm, although she feels angry, but when the Eima family and the Takeda family colluded, they acquiesced to the Kakizaki Jingjia's action to destroy Eima, and gave him the security document taken by Yoshijo-gun, the missile country. Kakizaki Jingjia also picked up a bargain and took 8,000 stone of Andu. As soon as the Ema family was destroyed, Sister Koji Yoshiyori immediately befriended the Nagao family, and also said that the Nagao family watched Shinano and Mino for the Nagao family.

"I'm really grateful to the Fuchu Temple, but when will the Fuchu Temple send troops to Kanto?" Chaoding wants to hurry up, and by the way, when he sends out his troops, he can unite with the Satake family and the Utsunomiya family to destroy Nasu, and then he can divide Nasu with them with peace of mind. No matter how you calculate it, you still have something cheap to earn.

"Let's come to spring this year. When winter arrives, the entire Echigo will be covered in heavy snow. "The dragon girl is too lazy to pay attention to the court, and she is not ready to say a word.

"Tiger Chiyo, when the time comes, Izumi Mamoru will still be used by her husband, that ......" Ayahime saw that her sister's face was better, and she wanted to say that the Kakizaki Jingjia was going to be used as a gunman by the court.

"Forget it, I won't gather the troops in Vietnam and go to Kanto. Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru, Okuma Bizen Mamoru and Usami Suruga Mamoru are all up to you for the time being. "For the dragon maidens who have been nesting in the paradise of Bishamen and chanting scriptures, they are too lazy to take care of them, and if someone can take care of them for her, it will be regarded as lightening her burden. But for the sake of face, it's also necessary to scold.

"Then I'll thank the palace of the house, without further ado, I'm going to take someone to Yuezhong. Ayahime is temporarily placed with you. After Chaoding finished speaking, he left first, and he was still relieved to put Ayahime here.

Yilong after pretending to be sick. On July 20, Yoshilong enlisted his uncle Michitoshi Nagai, who was often by his younger brother's side, to conspire with him. Then Yoshiryu pretended to be critically ill and had something to explain to his younger brothers, so Sun Shiro and Kiheiji were summoned to a private house to meet, and Nagai Michitoshi asked the two to put their blades outside, and after the meeting, the people present deliberately drunk Sun Shiro and Kiheiji, and Hineno Hiroshi, a retainer next to Yoshiryu, took the opportunity to kill the two under the pretext of praising the knife. At this point, Yoshiryu officially broke with Michizo, who was very frightened when he heard the news, and immediately abandoned Inabayama Castle and fled to the Mino Mountains, where Yoshiryu who captured Inabayama Castle began to crusade and hunt down Saito Michizo, which was supported by the powerful people of Nishimino "Mino Three".

Saito Michizo set up a formation to confront Yoshiryu at Tsuruyama, and Michizo's son-in-law, Oda Nobunaga, also led his troops across the Kiso River and Hida River, and set up a formation at Toshima and Higashizobo in Tara (Hashima City, Gifu Prefecture) in an attempt to support his father-in-law. On the 20th, Yoshiryu's troops moved towards the south bank of the Nagara River, and Michizoya led his army down the mountain and moved along the north bank, and the two armies began to face each other. Due to the support of the people, Yilong had more than 17,500 troops at this time, but Daosan could only mobilize more than 2,700 people.

At the beginning of the battle, due to the superiority in troops, the Yilong army decided to strike first, and the retainer Takewaist Michizo launched a surprise attack, but although the opponent was at a disadvantage in strength, the commander was after all Mino Viper, the battle-hardened Saito Michizo, although Michijin reluctantly rushed the Michizo main formation, but in the end, under the calm command of Daosan, the first wave of attack of Daozhen was defeated, and Daozhen himself was killed on the spot.

Seeing the defeat in the first battle, Yilong decided to personally lead his troops across the river. At this time, the Nagaya Jinemon of the Yoshiryu Army launched a heads-up against the three armies of the province, and the scene of the confrontation between the two armies was in a hurry. Dogfights were inevitable, but Michizo's army eventually collapsed due to being outnumbered. On the other hand, Yoshiryu expected that Oda Nobunaga would send troops to support Dozo, so he had already deployed troops to stop the Oda army on the banks of the Kiso River.

While the two sides were still fighting fiercely, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was still neutral, left Mino with his retainers and clan and went to Hida. And Deura Shouqing was on standby near the battlefield with ten shinobi, and his mission was not optional. After being persuaded by Kato Danzo to join the Uesugi family, he knew that the Uesugi family was different from other daimyos, and his attitude towards ninjas could be said to be very important, and even his predecessor Kato Danzo became the lord of a city. Deura Shouqing knew that this was one of his most important opportunities, and if he successfully completed the mission, he would be able to become the lord of a city like Kato Duanzo!

At this moment, the Asadachi had joined forces with Okuma Ashide, Usami Dingmi, Kakizaki Keijia, and Shiina Yasuin to lead 12,400 troops into Yoshijo County, and got in touch with his sister Koji Yoshiyori. And his sister Yoshiyori Koji is also a sensible person, knowing that the Nagao family and the Uesugi family will give him face, so he took 1,500 troops to meet the army of the Nagao family outside Hida Takayama Castle, and went to Gero Castle with them.

Although Oda Nobunaga led an army of 4,000 people, he was still stopped by the army arranged by Saito Yoshiryu. However, Saito Michizo still sent someone to get Oda Nobunaga to withdraw from his army, telling him not to waste time here. As Saito Michizo's army became less and less, he himself was evacuated to the vicinity of Shirakawa Castle under the escort of Hagimoto. But he didn't know that at this moment, the army of the court was waiting for the army in Gero, north of Shirakawa.

"Lord, we are defeated!" A flag was crying behind Michisan.

"It's just that I learned about my betrayal of the two lords. This is the end of the matter, and you all go and flee. "Michizo Saito had never spoken in such a calm tone to the only thirty Samurai Flag Warriors left in front of him.

"Lord!" Although Michizo said to let them go, these samurai are eating the food of the Saito family after all, and it is really not their style to leave while the lord is in danger.

"Lord Saito, let's leave here before Reiro's army arrives." At this moment, Deura Shouqing appeared in front of Saito Michizo and the others.

"Who are you?" Michizo Saito was also hit by an arrow in his right arm, and he stood up with the help of the samurai Hagimoto.

"In the Shimo-Uesugi family, the retainer is out of the Ueduga Morikiyo. The Akechi family, the Saito family (Kosaito), the Tsumaki family, and others all left Mino under the escort of the ninjas. Presumably it's already time to have a round with the lord. Deura Shouqing waved his hand and asked the ninjas under his command to put away the ninja blades.

"Son-in-law? Looks like he's known for a long time. My daughter hasn't seen her for a long time, so I'll live another little longer! Saito Michizo got on his horse with the help of the samurai and left Shirakawa with Morikiyo Deura. However, Saito Yoshiryu would not let him leave peacefully, and immediately chased after him with a thousand horseback warriors, followed by 8,000 troops.

"Good go, lord! Help you stall for time! Along the way, one after another Hachimoto samurai stepped forward to ensure Saito Michizo's survival, and attacked the pursuers. In the end, Saito Michizo still arrived at Gero Castle in fear.

"When the father-in-law arrives, the son-in-law is far away." Asadachi saw Saito Michizo arrive with only five horseback samurai, and then Namba Kenji, Kakizaki Keijia, Okuma Asahide, Usami Dingmi, Shiina Yasuin and others dismounted one after another.

"Hey..." Michizo Saito doesn't want to say anything anymore, as long as he can see his daughter alive. Back then, he forced Guidie to flee to Kitashinano, and he also believed that everything was providential.

"Come on, let my father-in-law have a good rest." Asadachi sent someone to help Saito Michizo enter the city, while he and the Nagao retainers were waiting for Saito Yoshiryu's pursuers.

"Longtail? Why does the Nagao family want to get involved in my Saito family's family affairs?! When Saito Yoshiryu saw that most of the troops blocking him were the Kuyoba banners, and a few of them were bamboo and sparrows, he thought it was the Yamamoto temple family or the Kamijo family.

"It turned out that my brother came in person, and I missed the welcome. This missile doesn't seem to be the territory of the Saito family, right? Chao Ding said on the mountain in a white robe with a red cross tattooed on the front and a black lacquer pill inside.

"Look at the flag of this bamboo and finch to know that it is from the Uesugi family, my brother-in-law came all the way to the missile and led troops to stop it, why is it a brother?" When Saito Yoshiryu looked at the nearby Nagao Army and Uesugi Army, he knew that he was too small to act rashly.

"It's nothing, it's just that Lord Yoshiyori Koji, the sister of the Missilecountry Division, learned that there was a war in Mino and asked for the assistance of the Nagao family in order to prevent the war from spreading." The sister Yoshiyori Koji behind Asadaki didn't dare to appear in Saito Yoshiryu's sight at all, if it weren't for Kakizaki Jingjia and others to cover him, then he would have been discovered.

"What an excuse for the repair doctor! Why let that old immortal live?! "Saito Yoshiryu doesn't want to talk nonsense with Asada.

"Let him live if he deserves to live, let him live if he deserves to die. That's politics. Brother, please go back, the Nagao Army has 12,000 troops this time, and my Uesugi Army also has 400 cavalry. If you want to make trouble with the Nagao family and the Uesugi family, you should know what the result will be. The Sister Road family has become friendly with the Long Tail family, and the Long Tail Army can pass through the Sister Road Territory at any time. "Chaoding will not hand over Saito Michizo, if Guidie knows, then he will cry, make trouble, and hang himself.

"My lord! We're late! Although An Tengshou and the others were late, the nine thousand Saito troops at this moment were still a little scared when they looked at the tens of thousands of long-tailed troops in front of them. The consequences of befriending the million-stone daimyo are very serious, especially the jealous and hateful military god girl. If she knew that the person who chased her father and killed her two younger brothers would dare to take the initiative to fight her, the Saito family would really be dead.

"Retreat!" Saito Yoshiryu knew his strength, even with the support of most of the wealthy families of Mino Province, he still didn't dare to be an enemy of the Nagao family with a million stone daimyo at will, just now the Oda family had become an enemy of the Saito family. He didn't want to have too many enemies.

With the retreat of Saito Yoshiryu, Asahi was relieved. He first asked the military doctor to bandage and treat Michizo Saito, and then left the missile with the army of the Nagao family on the same day. And Sister Koji Yoshiyori knows that he has made a bad relationship with the Saito family, and the only thing to do in the future is to make friends with the Nagao family. To say that although the Takeda family is also on the side, but according to the distance, the Kakizaki Jing family is in Jiangma Ling, but let their sister-in-law Kakizaki Haru family govern it, it can be said that compared to the Takeda Army, which can only be reached by crossing mountains and mountains, the Long Tail Army is more deterrent! And Saito Michizo entered Jobu Castle to rest at night.

"Why do you have to save the old man when repairing the doctor's hall? The entire Meinong Hao clan is either neutral or falls to Yilong, and it is not cost-effective for me to fight Yilong for evil. "Saito Michizo's vision is poisonous, although he now has a right arm hanging on his own, and after thinking about it calmly, he feels that he is also a son-in-law, and Asadaku is more reliable than Nobunaga.

"Father-in-law, Guidie still doesn't know what happened to Mino. If you know it, you will also ask your son-in-law to come to the rescue, and it is better to save it late than to save it early. At this time, Asadaki unloaded the carcass with the help of his own samurai.

"My lord, repair the doctor's hall." Akechi Mitsuhide and others came to visit after learning that Saito Michizo had nothing to do.

"You ......" Saito Michizo didn't know that Akechi Mitsuhide and the others were really rescued, and he really underestimated the strength of the Uesugi family before. This time, even the retainers of the Nagao family in Echizhong could be mobilized, and they could command tens of thousands of troops to hold on to Saito Yoshiryu, and made Saito Yoshimyu take the initiative to retreat.

"I've heard of Mitsuhide-sama's talent for a long time, and it just so happened that this incident rescued Akechi, Tsumiki, Saito and other families to go to Aizu to develop." Asadaki is clear about Akechi Mitsuhide's ability, and it can be said that he is all-powerful.

"Mitsuhide's talent is indeed not bad, although it is not as good as the reputation of Takenaka Hanbei, but he is very good at internal affairs and military training. These aspects are beyond the reach of the semi-guards. Saito Michizo saw that the court was going to poach the corner, but he had to take advantage of the situation to recommend it, so that Akechi Mitsuhide could also increase the strength of the Uesugi family.
