Tozawa Michimori looked at the news in his hand from a public Tozawa Masashige with a solemn face.

"So, the southern family has already attacked the territory of the Hiyama Andong family?" Tozawa Michimori said to Tozawa Masayasu, who was sitting below.

Tozawa Masasu was originally the head of the Tozawa clan in Iwate Prefecture. After the new head of the southern family in the tenth year of the Astronomical family, Nanbu Harumasa took power, he united with the Shiba clan of Shiba to rebel, and was attacked by Ishikawa Takanobu, the uncle of Nanbu Harumasa, and fled to Akita County, and later joined the Senhoku Tozawa family.

Tozawa Masayasu replied, "Your Highness, it is indeed written in the letter written by the political lord himself, and it seems that the Ando clan is indeed at war with the southern family. Moreover, according to the news obtained by the detectives of the family, Anton Yaoji also sent troops to support the Anton family. ”

When Tozawa Michimori heard this, he hurriedly said, "Anton Yaoji also sent troops?" What is the situation in Yodogawa Castle now? "Last year, the Ando family invaded the Tozawa family, and although Tozawa Michimori led the army back in time, Yodogawa Castle was lost. Yodogawa Castle lord Tozawa Masashige escaped with more than 100 remnants of soldiers.

Even though Tozawa Michimori tried his best to recapture Yodogawa Castle, the strength of the Andong family was not underestimated. The two sides fought fiercely outside Yodogawa Castle, and each other won and lost. After a stalemate for nearly half a month, he made peace.

However, Tozawa Michimori has been looking for an opportunity to recapture Yodogawa Castle. As soon as Yodogawa Castle is in the hands of the Anton family, the territory of the Tozawa family will never be at peace. The location of Gain-Yodogawa Castle is too important.

Yodogawa Castle is located in the middle reaches of the Omono River, with the continuous Ou Mountains to the north. Yodogawa Castle controlled the river transportation from the upper reaches to the middle reaches of the Omonogawa River, and once it was occupied by the Anto family, the Tozawa family lost the advantage of the Omonogawa River.

Tozawa replied, "This time, about 2,000 troops were dispatched from the southern part of the country to attack the Binai area of Andong Sunji, and Andong Sunji and Andong Yaoji sent 2,600 troops. Anton Shunji's 1,400 men were stationed at Sakanashi Castle. The troops of the southern family were deployed in the area of Yodoguan 10 miles away from Sakanashi Castle. Anton Yao Ji personally led a force of 1,200 men to support the Flower Wheel City in Antler County. And the Maomane family in Antler County has been subordinate to the southern Haruhei, and the two sides are also in a confrontation posture in Antler County. ”

"In this way, the Anton family doesn't have many troops left?" Tozawa Michimori asked excitedly.

"That's right, there are only about 200 troops in Yodogawa Castle now, and the Kameda clan in Kawabe Prefecture and the Toshima family in Toshima Castle combined are only 300 troops." Tozawa Masayan also replied happily.

When Tozawa Michimori heard this, he said excitedly: "The time has come to recapture Yodogawa Castle." An order was sent to Masashige Tozawa to prepare his troops from now on, and he was bound to recapture Yodogawa Castle. ”

Tozawa Masayan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there are only more than 100 troops under the command of Tozawa Masashi, how can you capture Yodogawa Castle?" Will you send reinforcements from Komatsuyama Castle? ”

Tozawa Michimori shook his head and said, "Reinforcements are to be sent, but you can't send troops from Komatsuyama Castle. In the last battle with the Onodera family, not only did the family not get any benefits, but let Tsugawa Soji seize the opportunity. Now that Hondo Castle has been occupied by the Tsugawa family, it is only half a day's journey from Komatsuyama Castle of the main family, and if we send troops to support Tozawa Masashige, the Tsugawa family will definitely attack our rear when they learn about it, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

"Then don't you send reinforcements?"

Tozawa Michimori smiled: "You can let the Maeda family go, last year the Hanekawa family was defeated by Maeda Nariyi outside Kamimada Castle in one fell swoop, and even the head Hanekawa Yimao was also taken over." This time I sent troops to Yodogawa Castle, and let the Maeda family go to support it. ”

"Hi," Tozawa responded.

"In addition, there are many detectives who pay close attention to the movements of the Tsugawa family in the south, and in addition, the Shizukuishi Kanma and the Pig Go to the Imperial Palace of the Shizukuishi Imperial Palace in Iwate County should also pay attention to the two families. Even the Fuji family, which is affiliated with the southern family, and the Naganiu family of Antler County should be careful. You can send people to build outposts and checkpoints next to Lake Tazawa to prevent Shizukuishi Kanma from sneaking in from the Ou Mountains. ”

"Hi"

Inside the castle of Yukatsu-gunnumakan.

Onodera Uemichi is discussing something with Onodera Quando.

"Brother, the Owada clan doesn't take their own family seriously." Onodera said indignantly, "Yesterday, Owada Mitsumi led an army to attack Iwai Castle, which was affiliated with the Iwai family. Iwai Michitoyo-sama was killed in battle, and the Owada clan had occupied Iwai Castle. ”

Onodera Uemichi replied, "All the way, calm down." Owada Mitsumori has repeatedly opposed his family, and I have long wanted to give him some color. Before, it was due to the constraints of the Ma Yinnei clan, and it was difficult to send troops. Now that the Mainai family is in civil strife, it is a good time for us to send troops to eliminate the Owada family and seize Pinglu County in one fell swoop. ”

"Brother, but now the Tsugawa family has eliminated the Rokugo family and occupied the southern part of Senhoku County. In addition, the area around Shimonoyama in the eastern part of Hirako County also belonged to the Tsugawa family. If the family attacks Pinglu County in a big way, will it force the Tsugawa family to the side of the Owada family? Onodera said worriedly.

"Hehe, if you can think of this, it means that there is still growth." Onodera Uemichi said with a smile, "However, Tsugawa Soji is not stupid, he just had a grudge with the Tozawa clan in the north, and if he interferes with the family's strategy against Pinglu County again, such a flattering thing at both ends, Tsugawa Soji will not do." ”

"Last time, the family and the Tsugawa family also belonged to the same union, and Tsugawa Soji got such a big bargain for nothing, if he offended the family again at this time, wouldn't he be afraid that the things he would get would be gone? Don't worry, Soharu Tsugawa is a smart man. Onodera Uemichi said with a smile.

"Brother, in that case, when are we going to send troops?" Onodera Jeondo then asked.

"Don't worry, wait for the reply from Ma Yinnei's family to come, and then make plans."

......

Michinoku Tsugaru-gun, Nanoka Imperial Palace.

The Nanaoka family is from the Kitabatake clan, a tributary of the Murakami Genji clan, and its ancestors are the Kitabatake clan, the shogun of the Mutsu Town. Later, after the death of the Kitabatake family, the descendants of the Kitabatake family moved to the Tsugaru area under the protection of the Nanbu clan and joined the Namioka family. Later, he inherited the Nanoka family and gradually changed its name to Nanaoka.

The current head of the Nangang family is Nangaoka Guyong, who is known as the "ancestor of Zhongxing".

After learning that the southern family had invaded the Ando family, Nanoka Guyong hurriedly summoned his sons Nanoka Gutong and Kawahara Gushin (Kawahara Gushin inherited the Kawahara family) to discuss the matter.

"Father, the southern family invaded the Yasaki clan of Dewa, and Tako Takanobu (Ishikawa Takanobu) of Tako Castle also suppressed the rebellion in Iwate County. Now is a great opportunity for us to expand into neighboring areas," Nanoka said excitedly.

"Yes, and the southern family is also in turmoil in places such as Suiyi, if the family takes this opportunity to attack the outer coast, the nose and the county, and other places, the southern family will not be able to stop the expansion of the family."

Langoka Guyong listened to the words of his two sons, and his heart was also very excited. The Nangaoka family has always been semi-subordinate to the southern family, and has always been suppressed by the southern family. Later, Nanooka continued to serve as an attendant from the five ranks, and his popularity in the northern region of Mutsu increased.

Nangang Guyong has always wanted to get rid of the suppression of the Nanfang family, and this invasion of the Nanfang family on the Andong family made Nangang Guyong see an opportunity, an opportunity for the Nangang family to rise.
