Originally, after the Uesugi family crippled the Daimyo Mogami family of Minamide Ha, they also reduced their territory, leaving the Mogami family with only 15,000 koku. Asadaki estimated that the Mogami family would not be able to take care of themselves within three or five years, and it happened that Mogami Yoshimori also had to die of a sudden illness. The new family governor Mogami Yoshimitsu should not take the initiative to make enemies with the Uesugi family, and if the Mogami family is destroyed, there will be no way to contain the surrounding Mogami Eight Shields. Originally, the best ending was to let the most upper house and the most eight shields eat dogs, and the court would be able to rest assured of the strategy everywhere.

However, the most dramatic result came. With the survival of the Mogami family and the intervention of the Ando family in the war in the village, the Mogami family was able to recover extremely quickly. The Mogami family was not only able to take care of themselves in a short period of time, but also to reconcile the surrounding large and small national lords, and colluded with Oshu daimyo such as Date, Osaki, and Kasai. At this time, the Mogami family also went up to the fifth floor in one breath - regained the support of many Chinese lords in Murakami and Mogami Prefectures.

It's just that the Mogami family hasn't moved troops yet, and the surrounding ones who have been transferred to the south to the south of the feather, Katsunaga Seinaga, Tsukiji Shitoyo, and Takemata Keitsuna will not be able to directly send troops to attack the Mogami family. However, Kawada Nagakin, who was guarding Zhishi-gun, immediately entered Echigo and reported the critical situation of Dewa to Asadatsu.

"Since the Mogami family did not mobilize troops, but there is only a suspicion of inciting and inciting the countrymen to rebel, then let the doctor come to the Echigo government to explain." The words of the court were very harsh.

"Understood. The minister will convey it. Kawada then ordered to leave the palace.

For the top family, there are only two - 'repression' and 'national replacement'.

The meaning of the inhibition is that after Mogami Yoshimitsu came to the Echigo government, he put him under house arrest in the palace, and when he wrote his repentance and handed it over to the court to pass the pass, he could regain his freedom in life. And the meaning of the national replacement is to transfer the top house to another place. As for where to transfer, it completely depends on the mood of Chaoding.

For the Date family, the court is also relatively tolerant. He sent Nagano Yoshimori to Minamitsu Oku, and Nagano Yoshimori came to convey his intentions. As long as Date Harumune lived in seclusion, and Date Terumune succeeded him as the governor of the family and withdrew the Date army deployed on Mt. Zao, the Date family would be able to secure the blockage. If not, then when the Uesugi family's army arrives, the Date family will be cut off.

Dewa Kunimurayama-gun, Yamagata Castle Honmaru shooting range.

I saw that after Mogami Yoshimitsu drew his bow, he slammed an arrow and hit the bull's-eye. At this time, one of them hurried to the shooting range.

"Report to the lord, Uesugi retainer Kawada-sama sent someone to ask you to prepare for Echigo." He said breathlessly.

"That town palace seems to be too confident, many countrymen and lords in Murayama and the two counties have raised anti-flags, only Bainiao, Hanhejiang, Baiyan, Yanze, and Tiantong are still obsessed." After Mogami finished speaking, he turned around and aimed at the target and shot the arrow with his bow again, and then a cheerful sound sounded, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye beautifully.

"Uesugi retainers such as Kawada Nagakin and Kawada Shigekine of Zhishi County are gathering troops, and the Soma and Tamura families are even sending troops to attack the Date family's border. Mogami Hachidnun is even more hostile to the family, so you might as well send a retainer to Echigo to find out what the town hall means. At this time, the old family of the Mogami family, who was sitting in the corridor, said straightly.

"Don't, put it away." Yoshimitsu Mogami turned around and handed the bow to Kosaki.

"My lord, at present, the family does not have enough strength to fight against the Uesugi family. It is surrounded by the territory of the Uesugi generals, and if you are not careful, your family will be wiped out. The family said helplessly.

"I know. Both the Date family and the Osaki family were married to the main family, and the Anton family had accepted the invitation of the Satsushi family and sent troops south. The Onodera family was completely pinned down in the middle of the feather, and they couldn't spare it at all to rescue the Uesugi generals and Mogami Hachidun. Mogami Yoshimitsu paused and continued, "The Date family, along with the Osaki family and the Kasai family, have already set up formations in the area of Mt. Zao and Mount Mehaku, and how many troops can Takemata Keitsuna, who has 35,000 koku in Nakano, Yamaga, Yamanobe, and Nagasaki, mobilize?" Katsucho Sebe was even more restrained by the raising of troops and a pinch of the former ministers of the Shimizu family and was unable to move. Tsukiji Zifeng in Shangshan Castle did not dare to act rashly. In this way, the family will definitely be able to quickly restore the old domain and drive the Uesugi family's power out of the Izuwa country! ”

"Having said that, the town palace has already entered Echigo, and the palace has also returned from Shangluo. Noto and Viethorn have been completely pacified, and the Uesugi family will soon be able to send troops to attack Dewa. It is completely inappropriate for this family to raise troops at this time! "The clan is determined to oppose Yoshimitsu Mogami's idea.

"Iyomoru, don't forget that Echigo Ichikoku is snowing heavily in the mountains! Even if Noto and Echichu sent tens of thousands of troops, they would not be able to enter Echigo quickly, not to mention that the Uesugi family had to guard against the Takeda family going north. They couldn't send much troops into Yushu. "Yoshimitsu Mogami is very optimistic about his future.

"My lord, Shimura Izu Mamoru, Sakaki Imori, Tanibai Sagamimori, Wada Echichu Mamoru, Matsune Bizen, Matsuoka Toyomae Mamoru and other adults are waiting for you in Ohiroma." Before the clan could refute directly, a young surname walked quickly to the shooting range to report to Mogami Yoshimitsu.

"Iyomori, Linglang Ozhang Mamoru supports me, why are you so afraid of the Uesugi family?" Mogami Yoshiki didn't forget to drop a word before leaving.

“······” The clan was determined to be the most gastronomic Yoshimitsu who was angry that there was nothing to say.

After a while, Mogami Yoshimitsu entered the Ohiroma. The most important family and the pedigree are all gathered here.

"See the lord!" When everyone saw Mogami Yoshimitsu enter the Great Hiroma, they immediately bowed.

"I think you all know about the entry of Anton's army into the village." Mogami Yoshimitsu said directly to the retainers.

"Well, the Uesugi army in the village can't cope with it at all, and most of the people in the village have followed the town palace to the west. Now the Satsushi family wants to be recognized by their own family and inherit the Miao character of Dabao Temple. After speaking, the clan Shoudong couldn't help laughing.

"At least this family is still a famous family out of the feather, and the hereditary service of Yushu explores the topic. Since the Sagoe family wants it, then the family will give it to him generously! Yoshimitsu Mogami sneered.

"My lord, it is reported that the Soma army has crossed the Abu Kuma River, and the Date army is showing signs of retreating." Nakayama Chaomasa told the bad news.

"What?!" This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Mogami Yoshimitsu was instantly clouded.

"The Yamamoto Temple Keinaga of White Eagle City has sent troops to Zuoze Castle to merge with Baiyan Guanglong, and will soon merge with the Hanhejiang and Yoshida families." At this time, Nari Ze Michitada (the cousin of the clan Shoudong) had another bad news from Nakayama Chaomasa.

"Since the Uesugi family has already mobilized troops, then letting me go to Echigo is a Hongmen feast. It seems that Uesugi has already noticed the family's move. Mogami Yoshimitsu vaguely felt that what he had done was known to the Uesugi family.

"Then let's take the initiative!" Shimura Mitsuyasu has been holding back for a long time, and he has wanted to say this sentence for a long time.

"Zhongshan Xuanfantou, Nagasaki City will be attacked by you, and if you take it, it will be your home city." Mogami Yoshimitsu stood up and walked in front of the retainers and said.

"Yes!"

"The clan Owari Mamoru is up to you to attack the Chitose Pavilion. If this place is taken, it will ensure the safety of Yamagata Castle. "Mogami Yoshimitsu gave a difficult task to the clan Shoudong.

"Yes!"

"Gubai City is defended by Gubai Sagami. After all, it's the old collar of your Gu Bai family. Yoshimitsu Mogami thought for a moment and said.

"Yes!"

"Guys, it's up to you whether you can break the Uesugi family's encirclement of your own family!" Yoshimitsu Mogami wants to take it one step at a time. He was going to take back all the soldiers in the outer circle of Yamagata Castle first, and then think about anything else. Mogami Yoshimitsu plans to take a gamble, as long as he can quickly suppress the surrounding strongholds, then Mogami has a hope of winning.

"Yes!"

At the same time as Mogami Yoshimitsu was deploying troops, Echigo was not idle. Mitsusuke Yamagishi, Ienari Ueno, Takashige Fukuoji, and Keishihiro Matsumoto gathered the forces of the domain in a short period of time and stood by at Hirabayashi Castle. Even the Mizuhara Takashi family, who did not receive the order, ordered his son Mizuhara Minori to bring 500 troops to join the four generals. In this way, the strength of the Echigo side in the battle of Shonai reached 2,500. If you count the 500 troops left behind in Kaji Castle to guard Kaji Hikojiro's command, there are 3,000 people.

Date Harumune, who had originally set up his headquarters on Mt. Zao, received the news that the Soma army had invaded Date Ryō, and immediately led his army to withdraw. With the withdrawal of the Date army, the Osaki army and the Kasai army also returned home one after another. It's just that Date Harumun still has a hand left - sending someone to ask the Iwaki family to send troops to lead the horses.

After the Iwaki family governor Iwaki Shigetaka was defeated by the Satake family, he was disheartened and gave up the family governor and the head of the family to his adopted son, Iwaki Jintaka (the son of Date Harumune). However, his son, Iwaki Tsunetaka, immediately ran to Satake's house to seek the support of the Satake family. After all, even if the Iwaki family is small, it is still a daimyo of 70,000 koku, and it is also a somewhat famous daimyo in the country of Mutsu. With the departure of Iwaki Tsunetaka from Tokoriku, the fate of the Iwaki family was decided at this moment.
