The fighting in Okushinano, Echichu, Echigo, Dewa, and Minami-Michinoku was extremely fierce, but the two countries of Musashi and Shimoso in the Kanto Plain were very peaceful and peaceful.

The court decided to change the original "Asagiji Temple" outside Kawagoe Castle to "Kanzhongji Temple", and he ordered the armor of the retainers who had dedicated their lives to the Uesugi family in Ogiya to be placed here, and a tablet was placed in front of the armor. The main hall of the temple was surrounded by a lot of large armor and carcass, and Uesugi Asanori, Namba Tian Kenshige (the father of Namba Tian Kenji), and Namba da Hiromune (the father of Namba da Hiroyoshi) were the high-ranking retainers of the family during the period when they were the successor of the imperial governor, and their armor was placed in the middle of the main hall, so that people could see it as soon as they entered the door.

The rest of the samurai who came from the Kawagoe Knights, such as Tomoyuki Sannomiya and Udagawa Kihei, were placed in the main hall, and some retainers who died in battle during the reign of the former governor Uesugi Asei were also placed in the main hall. Even the armor of the assassinated Maori Takahiro is above the main hall, and his flag seal (with a white silk background and a male ant strutting on it) is on display. Originally, the court wanted to put Ota Shiriri's armor and tablet into the main hall, but Ota Shimasa refused. The reason for this is that Ota Shiyori once fell to the Hojo family, and with such deeds, Ota Shimasa did not think that he was worthy of the deceased retainer displayed in it.

After worshipping them himself, he sent his old man Hirosawa Tadanobu to Owari by water. In order to break the current predicament, we can only use 'long-distance and close attack', and the object worthy of long-distance friendship is Oda Nobunaga, who is about to take most of Mino into his pocket.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga had further pocketed Mino's Gujo-gun, Yama-gun, and Ono County, and captured Inabayama Castle, Saito Ryuko fled to Ise, and the Saito family perished. At present, only two major forces coexist in Mino Province: the Oda family, which occupies most of Mino Province (Gujo-gun, Buyi-gun, Yama-gun, Kamu-gun, Kamu-gun, Anhachi-gun, Kaisai-gun, Tayun gun, etc.), and the Takeda family, which occupies the four prefectures of Higashi-Mino (Ena-gun, Kamo-gun, Toki-gun, and Kore-gun).

Higashimino is garrisoned by fierce generals of the Takeda family, such as Ichijo, Takasaka, and Akiyama, and I am afraid that even the Oda family will not be able to bargain easily. Now that the main force of the Takeda family is heading north, Oda Nobunaga can also take a risk to drag down the Takeda Shingen strategy for the Uesugi family.

After the death of Maori Takahiro, his children were left with only the eldest son Jingguang, the second son Katsuhiro, the third son Guangbao and two daughters. The court appointed Mori Takatsu and Mori Takamasa to assist Mori Kagehiro (14 years old), who inherited the family business of Mori Takahiro, and his eldest daughter married Kenji Nambata, and his second daughter married Kawada Nagashi. Maori Takahiro's second son Katsuhiro and third son Guangbao were sent to Heyue Castle to replace Maori Jingguang as the small surname of Chaoding-

The situation in Ueno is not optimistic, and Nagao Keibo and Takeda Shingen have reached out to Ueno Province.

Since Numata Kentai raised troops in Numata Castle, many ronins and wild samurai in Ueno have responded. Harakurano retainer Hashiwakasa Mamoru Hashikashi, former Akai retainer Hiro Hidetada, former Yokose retainer Harada Hidemasa, former Iwa cabinet Saito retainer Ueki Anbo Mamoru and former Iwaki Saito retainer Shiri Takakeie led the Lang Party into Numata Castle to assist in the defense. Although Numata Castle was surrounded by nearly 6,300 Fujiwara troops, Numata Kentai had no intention of surrendering at all.

Numata Yumitsu led an army of 900 to cross Mt. Wuzun and raided Sannomaru Castle, took the garrison bridge claw Wakasa Mamoru and repelled the attacks of Watanabe Left Konyoshi, Hiroshi Hidetada and others, and successfully opened the Otemen Gate of Numata Castle. Outside the city, Uesugi Keimitsu, Nagao Keitaka, Tobira Tomodada, Shibata Kiyomasa, Nagai Masashi and others saw that Numata Yumitsu had opened the city gates, so when would they wait if they didn't attack at this time?

In an instant, thousands of Fujiwara troops swarmed in, and even the Nagano army, which assisted in the siege, was not idle, and Nagano Michiyasu and Nagano Kentada captured Nishinomaru in Numata Castle with 1,000 troops, and won over the defender Takakeiji.

Seeing this, Numata Kentai immediately went from Honmaru to Ninomaru to meet the defeated army of Watanabe, Zokinyoshi, Hiroshi Hidetada, and others. After counting, the defenders were left with less than 2,000. And Watanabe Zuo Jinyun, Mao Lu Xiuzhong and others were mostly injured.

The enthusiasm of Kenyasu Numata and others was instantly extinguished at this time. Numata Kentai's original plan was to respond to Nagao Keibo's army first, and then wait for reinforcements from the Takeda family.

However, Numata Kentai miscalculated that Numata Yumitsu, who was of the same clan, had already been put under the command of the dynasty, and the surrounding important towns were all arranged by the genealogy of the Uesugi family, and Numata Castle could be besieged in a short period of time.

At the same time that Numata Castle's Sannomaru and Nishinomaru were lost, the Takeda family also launched a strategy against Ueno.

Sanada Yutaka, who had previously attacked Matsuo Castle and other places, received an order from Takeda Shingen, and he sent ninjas and Lang parties to assist Takayama Shigenari, the former lord of Ueno Takayama Castle, Ueno Ronin Kibe Masashi (Uesugi retainer Kibe Fan Tiger Ichi), former Heiko Maru Castle Lord Urano Shigeji, Ueno Kunito Shirakura Saemonsa, Tomono Juro Saemon (Naito Masatoyo retainer), Ueno Kuniren Fukatani Tadahide, Ueno Kuniren Kobayashi Matsubayashi Sai Seven people each led the Lang Party and more than 2,000 ronins to occupy Okushino and Ueno Country border Tashirokan, Nishiwakan, and Kawara Castle. And they all erected the Takeda family's four-cut scale banner at the head of the city.

Tashirokan is located between Mt. Shia and Mt. Asama, and behind it is the torii card that leads to Okushinano. As long as Tashirokan is still in the hands of the Takeda family, then this place will be like a bridgehead for the Takeda family's march into Ueno, which can be attacked and defended. At the same time that Takayama Shigenari and others occupied the dilapidated Tashirokan, they began to mobilize the local people to begin restoring the Tashirokan.

As for the candidate for the flag leader of the Ueno side, Takeda Shingen did not choose it in time. He now has only one purpose - the head of Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Due to the appearance of Takeda Shingen in Okushinano this time, the battle between the Uesugi army and the Okushinano people and the Takeda army is called the "Third Battle of Kawanakajima"-

In Kyoto, far away from the smoke of war, Ashikaga Yoshiteru accepted the former Uesugi retainer Akechi Mitsuhide as a public servant, and he also paid out of his own pocket to give Akechi Mitsuhide a Hinata official position under the sixth rank.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru dispatched Hosokawa Fujitaka to contact the surrounding forces of the Uesugi family, internal retainers, and the people of the country to attack the Uesugi family, but it was also a helpless move.

In order to continue to expand the territory in the Gyeonggi area, the companion of the Muromachi shogunate and the leader of the management generation, Miyoshi Chokei (who was the fourth under the Tsukuzen Mori at the time), teamed up with the powerful Takeda Shingen. Miyoshi Nagakei had long heard that Ashikaga Yoshiki wanted to ask Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin to lead troops to Kamiraku to assist him in expelling him, and when the Hojo clan sent his retainer Ando Yoshiro to mediate, he first befriended the Hojo family, coerced Ashikaga Yoshiki to agree, and established a relationship with the Takeda family through the Hojo family.

As the guardian of Shinano, Takeda Shingen naturally couldn't tolerate the appearance of Yoshikiyoshi Murakami, the head of the North Shinano banner appointed by the Uesugi family, showing off his might at his doorstep, and he and Miyoshi Nagakei hit it off. In addition, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, as the general of Seiyi, the pillar of Genji, and the leader of the samurai family, did not want to be driven out of Kyoto again by Miyoshi Chokei, so he could only reluctantly agree to contact the daimyo around the Uesugi family.

And Akechi Mitsuhide was inexplicably able to get an official position under the sixth rank, and he was still very happy. He was in charge of attacking the Katata and Sakamoto areas of Minami Omi.

"Hinata Mamoru, I'm afraid that Yu is already reduced to a puppet for Miyoshi and Hojo in the eyes of Uesugi Danmasa and Uesugi Town Mansion." Ashikaga Yoshiteru said to Akechi Mitsuhide after retreating from the dojo in the Nijo Imperial Palace.

"Jinggong Fangdian, the minister can hold the official position of Hinata Shou or you want to come through the imperial court, and there are some things that the minister can't evaluate at will." Akechi Mitsuhide handed Ashikaga Yoshiki a spoonful of water to the side.

"The Uesugi Town Government has now changed the Miao character to Fujihara's surname, probably to express its dissatisfaction with Yu." Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled bitterly.

"Don't say that, the Uesugi family is not united, and the town government is helpless. The raising of troops by the Echigo people such as Nagao Keibo illustrates the internal problems of the Uesugi family now. "Although Akechi Mitsuhide entered the Uesugi family for a short time, he can still see some details with his eyesight.

"And the Fujiwara town government was allowed by the imperial court to use the chrysanthemum pattern, and Yu also acquiesced. Just take it as a little compensation for Yu's efforts. "Originally, the five-seven tung and the two quotations and two patterns could not be used at will, especially the five-seven tung pattern as one of the exemptions.

"It was also a helpless move for the Kyogong Palace, the Town Hall and the Shogunate to be in harmony, and the Kanto, Hokuriku, Koshin, and Okuyu were all dragged into the war, and the Date family, the Mogami family, the Daihoji family, the Takeda family, and the Hojo family all sent troops to attack the Kanto Steward House and the Town Shogun Family. If the Satake family and the Iwaki family in Kanto join the enemy again, then the palace of the leader and the hall of the town hall really have no way to deal with it. Akechi Mitsuhide was also worried about Asada's situation, and Kenshin was hiding in Hayue Castle and didn't know the details.

"It's hard for a good man to be able to defeat four hands, not to mention that this matter is still Yu's fault." Ashikaga Yoshiteru fell into self-blame. Ever since he was coerced by Miyoshi Chokei, he began to blame himself, and he was very afraid of losing the powerful name of the Uesugi family. In normal times, most of the shogunate's expenses came from donations from the Uesugi family, and if the Uesugi family was defeated, then Ashikaga Yoshiteru would have to live by looking at Miyoshi Nagakei's face from now on, although this is also the case now.

"As soon as the ten rivers survived and died, the pillars of the Miyoshi family lost one. As long as the Rokkaku family, the Jinwu Tianshan family, etc. are used to contain the Miyoshi family, then Miyoshi Changqing will definitely continue to make mistakes. "Akechi Mitsuhide seems to see the future of the Miyoshi family.

"Really? If that's the case, Yu is willing to give it a try! "Ashikaga Yoshiteru doesn't want to live like a puppet himself, he also has dignity, he also has faith, no one is born to want to be a puppet.

"It's too risky to do this, so it's better for your subordinates to go and transfer the Kaneda people first, and then invite the daimyo such as the Rokkaku family and the Jinwuda mountain family after the Kanta people become allies of the Kyoto Gongfang Palace." Akechi Mitsuhide didn't want Ashikaga Yoshiteru to rush into the army, and his own strength was not much at the moment. If Ashikaga Yoshiteru fails, then he and he are likely to be kicked out of Kyoto, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not trust him at that time.
