"Father, Kakizaki and Izumi Moriden have agreed to assist us." At this time, Tao Changfang quickly walked into the large wide room of Honmaru in Kanamaru City, and reported to Tao Qingxian, who was holding a military meeting.

"Great! As long as Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru contain Kaga, then we will be able to defeat the main force of the Takusaku Hatakeyama army in the Shiga and Onkai areas, and surround Nanao Castle. Peace and stability are just around the corner. Tao Qingxian was very happy when he heard that Kakizaki Keijia was willing to help.

"Owari Shouden, the enemy Kumaki Sukazu has reoccupied Sueyoshi Castle, and Furai and Fukuura have also erected enemy flags. If we don't retake these cities, we'll be in the back of the enemy. Kurokawa Kiyomi was a little worried about Tao Qingxian's plan.

"Kurokawa Suruga Mamoru rest assured, that Usamiden has already transferred several craftsmen to the important ministers of the Hatakeyama family, and there will be good news soon." Tao Qingxian sold it first.

After a while, Yanoda Yoshimasa of the Aizu people ran into the Ohiroma.

"Good news, ladies and gentlemen! The general who can land on the island is long to be able to climb the guard, and the Izumo is guarding the second cave castle, and the Noto Island Pavilion is erecting a bamboo finch flag! The news brought by Yoshimasa Yanoda instantly made the generals sitting in the Ohiroma full of confidence in the Noto strategy.

"Don't be too happy, the Shinano servants who surrendered to the Takeda family, such as Hasuke Muroga, Kiyono Hitarusuke, and Mochizuki Ishimimori, have begun to harass all parts of Okushinano. Probably the reason why I saw Saito Shimono Mamoru and Takanashi Hall follow our army's strategy to Noto. Although Tao Qingxian's face showed joy for a moment, he immediately restrained himself and faced the generals with a serious expression.

“······”

"It is reported that at this time, there were only more than 1,000 defenders of Qiwei City, and most of the troops went out of the city to occupy the city that we had captured. Our opportunity will come soon. Tao Qingxian has already seen that the craftsman Hatakeyama family has taken a wrong step.

Soon, December 22nd.

As Kakizaki Keike led 4,000 troops to break into Kaga, he attacked Kamiyamada Castle, Takamatsu Castle, and Riki Castle and other castles close to the Vietnamese-Chinese border, and even the villages around Oyama Gobo were set on fire by the Uesugi army. This made Yorikiyo Shimoma and others in the Oyama Imperial Workshop think that the defense of Kaga's 'Buddha Kingdom' was more important than supporting the Takusaku Hatakeyama family, so they ordered more than 7,000 troops led by Sugiura Matagoro and others to withdraw to Kaga.

With the withdrawal of Kaga's power, the followers of the Oku-Noto sect lost their backbone and backstage, and they returned home one after another. This made Chang Lianlian anxious in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Otsu, the port around Nanao Castle, was also attacked by Nagano Noboru and others on Noto Island, and all the grain, grass and baggage on the shore were burned. By the time Nagajiren led his army out of the city and arrived at Otsu, Nagano Noboru and the others had already boarded a ship and returned to the island. Everything they did was instructed by Usami Dingmi.

At the same time, Suemori Castle's Tohi Kinma used the power of Kaga Ichikwa to regain Ida Castle and Chirihama, and the back foot Kurokawa Kiyomi and Yoshie Munobu led 3,000 Uesugi soldiers to Ida Castle.

Due to the fact that most of the castle defenses were damaged after the previous assault on Ida Castle, it was impossible to cage the castle. Therefore, Tohi and his son Tohi Jiaji once again took the initiative to abandon the two places of Ida and Chirihama and enter the Suemori City Cage City. However, this time Kiyomi Kurokawa and Munenobu Yoshie will not give Tsuchihi kinshin a chance to surrender. Although Suemori Castle has a structure of double curved wheels, it is a flat castle and does not have a large number of arrowheads.

Kurokawa Kiyomi deliberately did not lead his army past the castle town, and suddenly rushed to the south of Otemon and ordered the iron artillery team to shoot in unison. The defenders immediately opened the door to meet them, but it was not long before they heard the astonishing shouts from behind, and they showed a slight sign of wavering.

Yoshie Munenobu set fire to the castle on the other side at the same time as the sound of the iron cannon, causing the longhouses and panels in the castle to burn.

"The enemy has already retreated! Follow me! After Kurokawa Kiyomi finished speaking, he personally led his troops to gallop forward, and slashed several enemy soldiers with his sword.

Immediately, the Suemori soil fertilizer army was in chaos and hurriedly hid back in the city. Kurokawa Kiyomi led the army to chase after him and took advantage of the chaos to enter the city. Demaru and Ninomaru were successively captured by the Uesugi army. When Honmaru asked to surrender, he was rejected by Kiyomi Kurokawa and Yoshie Munobu, and then he and his son Tsuchihi Ieji committed suicide by seppuku in Ohiroma. The Suemori Tohi clan was later slaughtered by Kurokawa Kiyomi. Kaga Kazukuru lost his bridgehead to Noto in this way.

Just after Kurokawa Kiyomi and Yoshie Munenobu captured Ida Castle, Senrihama and Suemori Castle one after another, Usami Dingman took the initiative to arrive at Hatoba with 2,000 troops and made it look like he was preparing to attack the castle. The Uesugi family in the castle should immediately send an envoy to seek help from the Tatsusaku Hatakeyama military lord in the Shiga and Onkai areas. Tao Qingxian also led his army to the vicinity of Onjingkan when Usami Dingman was out of the battle of Hatoba, and arranged an ambush near Wakura.

The next day, Shigakan Honmaru Ohiroma.

"The Uesugi army has only a few thousand troops outside Nanao Castle, how can they take the initiative to attack the city?" Naga-junren was shocked when he heard the news of Nanao Castle's request for help in Shiga Pavilion.

"Tsushima Mori, since there are enemy troops outside Nanao Castle, they should go to the rescue immediately, how can they be delayed? The lord is still in the city! You're left with an afterthought. "Kumaki Sukan was originally opposed to Chang Sulian leading his army out of Nanwei City to join him, and he just found an excuse to drive him away.

"Usami of Tokuda Castle has a maximum of more than 2,000 troops, and the rebels on Noto Island only have 500 troops, how can they take the initiative to attack the city? The Seven Tails City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the enemy army has tens of thousands, it may not be able to take it! "Chang Lian obviously saw some of the tricks in it.

"Greetings! The city of Momori is lost! The soil is fat, but the horse guards the temple and dies in battle! "A Yamabushi was brought into the Honmaru of Shigakan by the samurai of the Kasaku Hatakeyama family, and reported the bad news to the important ministers of the Hatakeyama family in Ohiroma.

"First Kaga withdrew his troops, and then Suemori Castle was lost. Now that Noto Island has also raised the anti-flag, what is next? "I don't think it's any accident.

"Matsuba Temple, do you think Nagatsushima Mamoru should return to Nanao Castle and repel the Uesugi army outside the castle?" At this time, Taira Yaozhi, a member of the Ping clan, stood up and walked in front of Hatakeyama Yoshito and asked.

"It is reasonable to be reasonable, Nanao Castle is the basis of the craftsman Hatakeyama family, and there must not be a little sloppiness. Besides, wasn't Otsu attacked by traitors such as Nagano Nobuyo before? Grain, grass and baggage were burned! Hatakeyama Yoshito was angry when he thought of this, and his hard-earned family fortune arrived in Otsu in order to show his loyalty, but he didn't expect that Nagano Noboru and Izumo Mamoru who were stationed on Noto Island were omitted by the Uesugi family. In addition, Chang continued to go to the rescue of Ojin and took care of this and that, but as a result, his little family wealth was burned clean.

"Hitarusukeen! Fujiwara Asama has left Noto! As long as we work hard to drive the Uesugi army out of Noto, they won't be able to attack Noto again! Besides, the Echigo country is covered with heavy snow, and they can't afford to raise nearly 20,000 troops just by relying on the country of Vietnam! Chang Xulian was not reconciled, he wanted to finish his work in one battle.

"If the lord has three long and two short, can you afford it?!" After Hatakeyama Yoshito finished speaking, he threw the folding fan in his hand on Naga's face.

“······” Chang Lian slowly picked up Hatakeyama Yoshito's folding fan and handed it to Hatakeyama Yoshito's side, and then said, "I'll lead the army back next." ”

In this way, Nagatsuren took his sons Nagasuna Ren, Sugiyama Norinao, Naga Renlong, Iikawa Yoshimi, and 3,000 troops on the way back to Nanao Castle.

However, at this moment, the court is still in the living room of Ninomaru in Toyama Castle.

"Fujiwara Town, after the completion of the Noto Raider, I will give you half a year to pacify Sado. After that, Yamauchi and Ogiya should not come and go again. Qianxin came to Chaoding's room alone and said coldly to him.

"Isn't there room for redemption?" Chao Ding asked unwillingly.

"Nope. When my uncle dies in battle, there is no room for us to be harmonious. "Although Uesugi Keishinobu is not Kenshin's most effective assistant, the contribution he and Suyoshishi have made is huge.

"I will go to the shogunate and beg the Kyogong Shrine to let him succeed him as the guardian of Ueno." Chao Ding was also aware of his mistakes, so he proposed a way to compensate.

"That's it? Can I exchange it for my uncle and Qi Jizhong? How many people have survived so far? Qianxin asked, grabbing the collar of the suit and staring into his eyes.

"In that case, it is useless to say more. After the alliance between the two families is severed, the family will never invade the territory of your palace. Chao Ding knew that he was at a loss, since Qianxin had made this decision, and he was powerless to persuade him, he could only take one step at a time.
