Since the powerful ministers of the Hatakeyama family, such as Onkai and Miyake, were not prepared to support the Uesugi army to enter Noto, then the court did not plan to sit back and wait for them to take the initiative to come and surrender.

On the one hand, the three of the defenders of Toriyakan and Arayama Castle, Kazuchi, Hatakeyama Shogun, and Yuyama Seshi, successively opened the castle and surrendered to the Uesugi army. In this way, after Arrayama Castle, Fukusuikan, Ishidoyama, Toriyakan, Kanamaru Castle and other places fell into the hands of the Uesugi army, the gateway to the southern part of Noto Province was opened.

Chaoding climbed to the top of Shidong Mountain, and looked into the distance - in the embrace of overlapping mountains, the Seven Tails Castle stood majestically. In the vast sea of Nanao Bay in the distance, the shadow of the island looms. To the right, you can see the coastline of Toyama Bay, which stretches like a bow.

At this time, however, the majestic posture of the mountains was still shrouded in a thick lead-gray cloud, which could not be seen in most parts of the Shidong Mountains arranged by the Imperial Palace.

Mt. Ishido, located about a kilometer south of Kiyomi, has long been a unique religion in Japan that combines ancient mountain beliefs, Shinto, Buddhism, Taoism, and Onmyodo. Emphasis is placed on assiduously practicing in the mountains in order to gain various experiences and thus attain enlightenment. Practitioners of the path of meditation are generally referred to as the great spiritual mountain of Yamabushi.

The main formation of the court was stationed in the area of Omiyafang, one of the more than 360 temples in Shidong Mountain. When Usami Joshimitsu learned that Asada was going to the top of the mountain, he immediately sent someone to ask Asada to return to his main camp.

"Your Highness, the matter is now expensive, not long. It's better to make a decision as soon as possible. Usami Dingman looked at Asada, who was standing outside the Omiya Bodo, and said.

"Mamoru Suruga, for some reason, is it too smooth for our army to break through to Noto? This worries me a little. "Chao Ding always felt that something was not quite right.

"Are you scrupling about the Suemori Tohi family or the Matsuba Hatakeyama family in Okunoto?" Usami Joman guessed something.

"Since Suruga Mamoru has seen it, then tell me about it, if it were you, what would you decide?"

"There is no other way to deal with a countryman lord like the Suemori Tohi family, and there is no other way to send troops to capture his territory. And let them take hostage. "Usami couldn't come up with any other solution.

"And what about the Matsuba Hatakeyama family in Okunoto?" Chao Ding asked again.

"Go north and sweep through the cities and defeat all the lords who resist."

After listening to Usami Dingman's plan, he thought about it and said, "It's easy to send troops west, but I don't know who to send." "Chao Ding can't make up his mind. Because he doesn't want to transfer many generals of the Uesugi Army at present, especially the troops like Kurokawa Kiyomi, Nagao Fujikei, Naoe Keixuna and others who have not yet suffered losses.

"Uesugi Toyomae guards the temple!" As soon as Asada's words fell, Usami Dingman said a name that surprised Asada's most unexpectedly.

"Suruga Mamoru is saying that the family is a public pen on the head of Sugi Toyomae Shoujingxin?!" Chao Ding was so surprised that he was about to lose his footing.

"Yes, it's that Suyoshi's Fengzen Guardian Palace. The Qiji people under his command are famous for their good fighting, and they are all over Vietnam, Vietnam and China. Since the beginning of Jing Gong, Qi Jizhong followed Jing Gong to conquer the east and west. Their combat power is not inferior to that of the Yangbei and Tochio. Usami Dingman slowly pulled the map open and handed it to Asada.

"I've also heard of the good fighting of the Qi Ji people, but the Fengqian Shou Palace, as a member of the family, should not let him lead a small wealthy family like the Suemori Tufei family. Isn't that right? ”

"Your Highness can just try to see if Fengqian guards the palace with the intention of making meritorious contributions, after all, just participating in the battle can't wash away the shame of his rebellion." After Usami Dingmitsu finished speaking, he pointed to Ida Castle in the northwest of Suemori Castle.

"Mamoru Suruga, with your wisdom and guts, if you become a Sengoku daimyo, I'm afraid it will be easy to take the capital of the territory of a million stones." It was only at this moment that Asadaki wondered why Kenshin didn't want to reuse Usami too much.

"How dare you, how dare you ······" Usami smiled.

On October 3, it became clear that the court decided to divide the forces at hand into three parts, and prepared to launch an invasion of Noto in three directions.

The Western Route Army was the general of Kaesugi Keishin, and a total of 4,000 troops from Yusa Soen, Nagasawa Mitsukuni, and Koura Ichimori marched to Ida Castle through Arayama Castle; The Eastern Route Army, with Usami Dingmitsu as the general general, marched to Tokuda Castle through the Toriya Pavilion. The court led the Uesugi army with 14,000 troops to attack the branch soldiers around Kanamaru Castle.

After hearing the news of the Uesugi army's attack, Onkai Keitaka, who was in Nanao Castle, began to feel afraid. He immediately sent his retainers to guard the soldiers around his own Wenjing Pavilion. He arranged for Shinsuke Fururaya to be stationed in Hongo, Higashibaba to be settled by the Sanso Supervisor, and Kotake to be settled by Narita Takeyasu.

In order to allow Uesugi Keishinobu to successfully take Ida Castle, Chaoding still led his team to follow closely after the Western Route Army, and after marching to the Zhixiong Pavilion, the two armies parted ways. Because the Zhixiong Pavilion has not yet fallen into the city, it is still a nail, nailed to the throat of the Western Route Army. Therefore, the court cannot sit idly by.

After learning that Asada's army had turned to Shiokan, the lord of Sueyoshi Castle, Hei Zongzhi, led his clan Lang to send troops to prepare to attack Kanamaru Castle and Barren Mountain Castle. Mr. Ping did not expect that the court would be able to capture the Shiokan in an instant, and the defenders killed all the two hundred people below Kuribu Shichiro in the battle. In addition, the lord of Yoneyama Castle, Iino Kamisuke, who came to help, was ambushed by the Saito Asanobu of the Uesugi army in Iiyama. Soon, all the 200 troops of the Iino General Agency's headquarters were killed from him.

Of course, these messages have not been blocked. Therefore, the soil and fat relatives of Momori City can still be known. When Uesugi Keishinobu led 4,000 troops to attack Ida Castle, Dohi Jishige (Dohi Kinma's brother), who was in charge of guarding it, knew that he was invincible, so he immediately abandoned the castle with his trusted samurai and fled to Suemori Castle.

Since Ida Castle, a branch of Suemori Castle in the northwest, was successfully captured by the Uesugi army, the lord of Suemori Castle, Tohi Kinma, knew that he was unable to resist the menacing Uesugi army, so he took his younger brother Tohi Jishige as a hostage and sent him to Ida Castle.

Originally, Uesugi Keishinobu planned to send the hostages to the court, but the court did not plan to take the hostages to the east and west, so he handed over the soil and fertilizer to Uesugi Keishinobu to take care of. Once the Suemori Tohi family falls to Kaga Ichikashi or to the craftsman Hatakeyama family, then the hostages will also be disposed of by Uesugi Keishinobu.

When Mr. Hei learned of the loss of Ida Castle and Shiokan and the subjugation of the Suemori Tohi family, he rushed back non-stop and gave up the attack on Kanamaru Castle and Arrayama Castle.

On October 4, the Uesugi army had successively captured the two places of Hazakan and Shigakan, which were garrisoned by the Naga's retainers, and killed the Naga's retainers Yamada Juro, Nakamura Sama, and Ota Tibetan.

Asadaki thought that it would be a simple matter to capture Fulai (Tomigi) Castle, so he divided the three divisions of Nagao Fujikei, Naoe Keizuna, and Yasuda Nagashige with 3,000 troops, and asked them to attack the Taira Governor of Sueyoshi Castle. And at this time, Chaoding didn't know that a large net against him and more than 20,000 Uesugi troops was weaving······

Sugiura Genren's son, Sugiura Matagoro, Kawai Torozen, and Tsubsaka Hoaki integrated more than 5,000 believers, Yamanbushi, and monks from northern Kaga and southern Noto, and they gathered at Kaga Takamatsu Castle. Suemori Castle's Tohi Shinya also sent his retainers, Yamada Uchizo and Yamaso Fujibei, as guides for the Ichisai army, offering to assist Kaga Ichizo.

Just when Kaga was about to overwhelm the army, Yusa Soen, who originally belonged to the control of Uesugi Keishin, the general of the Western Route Army, led his 1,000 troops to leave Ida Castle without authorization, and hurried back to Kanamaru Castle and Fukusuikan on the grounds that "the military rations in Ida Castle were insufficient to support our army's use for half a month".
