Chapter 359: Spo is poor

In the third year of Yonglu, April 26. Southern Harimasa launched a long-planned southward campaign. Taking advantage of the military strength of the Chutsu generals such as Mori Keihiro, Saito Toshi, Kanhee Hirotoshi, and Kankawae Mitsutoshi, Nanbu Harimasa ordered more than 7,000 troops of the Iwate and Kuhe clans that had been assembled, and launched an invasion of Takasui Temple Spo under the leadership of Ishikawa Takanobu and Kunohe Masashi. And the reason why Southern Harumasa sent troops turned out to be that the people of the Gaoshui Temple Sipo Territory killed the people of the Southern Territory.

Ishikawa Takanobu and Kunohe Masashi led more than 7,000 troops of the Iwate and Kuhe clans to attack the Mizen area of Takasuiji Temple in a short period of time. Because Kawamura Hidemi, the owner of the Great Xuansheng Pavilion, and his son Hidemata Washunai (the brave general of the Spo family of Takasui Temple, Spo Quanzhen gave the Washauchi Miao character to Kawamura Hideta) and the head of the Sabi Inner Pavilion of the same clan, Kawamura Hidemasa (the Kawamura clan, Kawamura Hideding's brother), and others had long heard that the Iwate people under the command of the southern family were gathering troops and renovating the armor, and they had long been on strict precautions against the southern family, so Ishikawa Takanobu, Kunohe Masashi and others could not attack the castle soldiers such as the Great Xuanseikan and Sabi Inner Pavilion for a while.

Previously, Kawamura Hidemi had already sent his retainers to Takamizu Temple Castle to suggest to his lord Spo Quanzhen to take strict precautions against the southern family, but Spo Quanma thought that Nanbu Haruma needed to guard against the invasion of Anton Aiji, and felt that he would not be so quick to free up his hands to invade his territory, so he did not pay special attention to Kawamura Hidemi's suggestions and reports. This also led to the rapid fall of the sub-forts around Tamaizuji Castle, Ishimizu Castle (Iwashimizu Castle), Sengan, Takada Castle, Spo Castle, Tokutan Castle, Nagaoka Castle, and Iioka Castle, as well as the death of powerful retainers Iioka Yukani (Lord of Iioka Castle), Nagaoka Kanyin (Lord of Nagaoka Castle), Tamai Shobei (Lord of Tamayama Castle), Shimizu Zenshichiro, Yasumasa Nakajima, Hoshikawa Saomasuke, Miyate Hidekiyo, Nakamura Sakuemon, and Yoshicho Sashikiki.

However, what Si Po Quanzhen didn't expect was that Nanbu Qing Zheng had long taken a fancy to the resources of Dasheng Jinshan and Morioka Mu in the territory of Gaoshui Temple Sipo, as well as the territory of more than 50,000 stones in the Sibo Territory of Gaoshui Temple. In order to have the 'righteous name' of the invasion of the Sipo Territory of the Gaoshui Temple, the Southern Harimasa specially sent people to the Sipo Territory of the Upper Gaoshui Temple to provoke an incident, and finally quickly attacked the Sipo Territory of the Gaoshui Temple on the grounds that 'the people of the Sipo Territory of the Gaoshui Temple killed the people of the Southern Domain'.

However, the retainers of the Takamizuji Spo family, the owner of the Ogama Okama Okama, the lord of Tochiuchi Castle, the lord of Tochiuchi Castle, the head of the Eshankan, the head of the Egaku Castle, the lord of Kuriya Castle, Kuritani River Mitsuju, the head of the Chugawa Castle Chef Kawa Mitsukatsu, the head of the Otobe Castle, the head of the Otobe Pavilion, and the Iioka Sho Uemon (Iioka clan) and others had already secretly communicated with the southern family, and they only waited for the southern army to enter the Takasui Temple Spo Territory before surrendering to the southern army and volunteering to serve as the vanguard for them.

At the same time, the Azenuma family, which occupied Tono Jushigo in the southwest of Shoi County, also severed their alliance with the Takasuiji Spo family after the Southern Army attacked the Takasuiji Spo Domain. The Sibo family of Gaoshui Temple is really a disaster at the moment.

On April 29, Ishikawa Takan and Kunohe Masashi divided their troops, and Ishikawa Takan led 5,000 troops to attack the two important towns of Inogokan and Shizukuishikan, which were in the northern part of Takasuiji Temple's Spo Domain, to frighten Shimoshi and others who were entrenched in Takasuiji Castle. And Kunohe Masashi led more than 2,000 troops to continue to harass and surround the Daxuansheng Pavilion and the owner of the Sabinai Pavilion who were still in Cage City.

Pig to the Interpretation of the Righteousness (Ashikaga clan, Takasui Temple Spo clan Shuliu, Spo to the third male of the high school, Spo to interpret the scriptures, Shizukuishi to the younger brother, Pig to the Imperial Palace), Pig to Yoshikata father and son in the pig to the pavilion cage castle for five days, the pig to the pavilion fell. The owner of the hall, Pig, went to interpret Yi Yu Honmaru to commit suicide, and his son Pig went to Yifang to lead the remnants of more than ten people to break through to the Tozawa Collar and seek the protection of Tozawa Michimori. After the owner of the Shizukuikan, Shizukuishi Hisaka (Ashikaga clan, Takamizuji Spo clan, Spo Tsukio Tsuki, Shizukuishi Imperial Palace) was killed in the battle of Shizukuishikan Kagojo, and his son Shizukuishi Kukan Kaejo surrendered to the Southern Army.

With the fall of the Shizukuishi Pavilion and the Pig Pavilion guarded by the relatives of the Gaoshuiji Sibo family, the people in the castle began to panic all day long.

Although Asadaki was angry when he learned that the Southern Army had invaded the Takasui Temple Spo Domain in the south, since the Chumura Olympus had only been pacified for a short time, there were still a large number of nationalist lords under the Daimyo banners such as the former Osaki family, the Kasai family, the Waga family, the Barnyard family, and the Eishu family, and once they echoed the southern family when the Uesugi army sent troops north, the consequences would be extremely serious, and even the old lords of the Osaki family and the Kasai family that they had captured earlier would be lost.

"The territory of the southern family has expanded rapidly in recent times, and most of the areas such as Hiraga, Nosewa, Farmhouse, and Yamabe in Tsugaru Prefecture have been conquered by him, and now they have repeatedly attacked the Takasuidaji Spo family in Iwate County." Chaoding began to feel a headache.

"General Fujiwara, do you need reinforcements from the northern people? If necessary, I can immediately send someone to order Kaji Yasumoru, Kurokawa Bizen, Yasuda Jibu Shosuke and other generals of the northern part of the country to fire and rate the army to Iwate County. "At the moment, there is only the Echigo-Shimo-Viet region that can be mobilized.

"That's very good, half a month later, it's time for the Nanbu family to spit out Iwate County." Chaoding doesn't care about temporary gains and losses. Because at the moment, he needs to first secure the new territories such as Shuyi County, Waga County, Barnyard County, Danzawa County, Jiangthorn County, and Iwai County, and the territories ceded by the Gaoshui Temple Sibo family, such as Takada Castle and Ishishimizu Castle, which were formerly led by the Takasui Temple Spo family, have to be given up for the time being.

"General Fujiwara, you still have to order the three daimyos of the Onodera family, the Tozawa family, and the Anto family to prepare for the battle, and it is best to let the Ando family send troops to Antler County again, so as to force the southern army to withdraw to its territory." Qianxin first proposed a more compromise plan.

"The Andong family was newly defeated in Antler County before, and they still need to recuperate, otherwise it is very likely to become the next Gaoshui Temple Sibo family; The Tozawa family has been invaded by the Ando family and the Onodera family, and it needs enough time to recover now; The Onodera family has repeatedly fought in the two countries of Ou, and their military strength needs enough time to recuperate. Chao Ding shook his head after listening to Qianxin's suggestion.

"At the moment, the southern family is no different from the Takeda family, but Takasuiji Castle is the last castle of the Takasuiji Spo family in Spo County. As soon as the castle of Gaoshuiji is broken, the southern army will definitely pour into the barnyard county, the county of Shuyi, and the county of Hega. Kenshin felt that Harimasa Minami and Shingen Takeda were the same thing.

At this moment, Nanbu Harumasa is moving like a mulberry leaf, and he is stubbornly devouring the territory of Iwate and Spo Prefecture, and the greedy mouth is finally approaching Takasuidaji Castle.

"Today, there are only a few castles left in the territory of the Takasuidaji Spo family, such as the Great Xuanseikan, Takasuidaji Castle, and Sabi Inner Hall, and once the southern family continues to increase troops in Iwate County and Spo County (Purple Wave County), it will only be a matter of time before these isolated cities that are still holding on will fall." Chao Ding sighed and said helplessly.

"In this case, I will send a letter to reprimand the southern right horse to see if he has relented." Kenshin wanted to ask Nanbu Harumasa as the Kanto Governor to see if he would withdraw his troops and return.

"Then Dr. Lao Uesugi Goshi will personally come forward to mediate and intermediate." At present, Asadachi has to take one step at a time, after all, the rule of the Uesugi family in the country of Mutsu is not so deep-rooted. At present, Chao Ding can only ensure that Guanyi County does not fall into the hands of the southern family, and then find the southern family to settle the account.

At this time, Oura Castle, the lord of Oura Castle in the Nose and Yamawa districts of Tsugaru Prefecture, actively opened gambling houses and wineries in the areas of Hiraga, Nose and Yamabe in Tsugaru Prefecture to accumulate money, and also took the initiative to accept unemployed young and middle-aged people to become the same people and ashigaru, and secretly incited the people in Tsugaru County to be dissatisfied with the policy of the southern sunny government, and then made it easier for him to raise troops.

Oura Weixin knew that after these things were done, the gap between the strength of the southern family and the southern family was too large, and it would be difficult to continue for a long time without the support and assistance of external forces. Therefore, Oura secretly sent his close retainer Nobumoto Morioka as an envoy to Asadachi and Kenshin to actively offer the eagle, a specialty of the north, in exchange for the support of the Uesugi family.
