In a blink of an eye, the Hongji Rebellion, which had been vigorously caused in the third year of Hongzhi at the beginning, was almost to the end in the first year of Yongroku.

In addition to Ueno, the lord of Kohata Castle, Kohata Keisune, and the lord of Minowa Castle, Nagano Yoshimasa, and some of Nagano Yoshimasa's sons-in-law still exist, the rest such as the Anaka family, the Wada family, the Kurakano family, the Shirai Nagao family, the head office Nagao family, the Azuma Saito family, and the Umino family were defeated and destroyed by the crusading army. Numata Castle is also about to fall, and Ueno Kazukuni will be firmly in the hands of the Uesugi family again. The Ashikaga Nagao family in Shimono also went through civil strife, and after being stormed by the Sano family, who wanted to atone for their sins, there was only one residential castle left, Ashikaga Castle.

All the wealthy clans of Hitachi Province submitted to the Uesugi family's military sect, and cut off contact with the Ashikaga Fuji clan, Ryoda Harsuke, and others. Even Iwaki Shigetaka, who was still in Hitachi, was attacked by the previous 'friendly forces', and when the Iwaki army returned to the Iwaki Domain, there were less than fifty people left. Iwaki Shigetaka also had three broken arrows standing on his large armor.

Although the Ashikaga Fuji clan and Harusuke Ryoda and Mosuke Ryoda escaped from Yuki Castle, no one in Shimono was willing to take them in. Not to mention that Tao Qingxian, who was in Aizu, had already led an army of 3,000 to the south to prepare to merge with the wise people, and the Ota Shimosho stationed near the Furukawa Imperial Palace alone had already made the wealthy clans in Shimono dare not act rashly. Ashikaga Fuji and Ryoda Harsuke, father and son, are like hot potatoes that no one touches.

Compared with Ashikaga Fuji and others, Hojo Masa had a harder time. His father, Hojo Shiyasu, finally handed over all the military and political power of the family to him when he was seriously ill. However, the Hojo family, who had experienced the 'Fuchu collapse', suffered a great blow, and he not only needed to be busy with the post-war disposal and find ways to make the Hojo family pretend to be strong. However, due to the large number of retainers who died in battle, there was already a shortage of talents who could serve as the city representatives, city lords, and commissioners, and the dilemma that the successor could not be determined. The Hojo clan could only promote local samurai and low-ranking retainers on a large scale. After the death of the banner leader of the Jade Rope Clan, the general of the Huang Bei clan, the Hojo clan had no way to identify who would serve as the banner head of the Jade Rope and the general of the Huang Bei clan for a while. After the death of the Hojo clan, his son was still two years old, and he could not succeed the Hojo clan. The Takiyama people, the Tsukui people, and the Jade Rope people were almost all wiped out after the collapse of Fuchu, and the barrier in the northern part of Odawara Castle completely disappeared, and the barrier in the east will now be lost.

Of the Boso Peninsula's territories that had been surrendered to Hojo, the Hojo clan had no choice but to send his retainers to take over the nine castles of Sano Castle, Senbon Castle, Ono Castle, Ichinomiya Castle, Kohama Castle, Nadinan Castle, Shiizu Castle, Tateyama Castle, and Inamura Castle. It's not that the Hojo clan doesn't want to take over more castles, but after the collapse of Fuchu, a large number of Odawara and Oma Daishi died, and it was completely impossible to transfer many retainers to the Boso Peninsula within the Sagami country.

Shiizu Castle was the closest to Hideharu Kano's domain, and the Hojo clan handed over this important place to Tominaga Masatsu, who had escaped death and returned to the Hojo domain, while at the same time giving him the succession of his father, Shogun Seibei. The rest of the castle was owned by nine people: Yasuhiro Ogasawara (Ono Castle), Yasumori Okusa (Ichinomiya Castle), Shigetake Kamata (Senbon Castle), Kuwashima Mankisai (Sano Castle), Takahashi Shuryo (Hall Minami Castle), Najo Shoji (Kohama Castle), Hidenobu Oto (Tateyama Castle), and Kondo Sukemi (Inamura Castle). Even so, there were still a large number of castles in the territory of Kamiso that belonged to the 'empty castle' (the flag was hung on the Hojo family's Sandai Ling, and there were almost no defenders).

Even the military advisor Ise Sadaun, who accompanied Hojo Shiyasu out of Musashi, is nowhere to be found. However, Ise's body was eventually found in Tsukui Prefecture at the end of March, where he committed suicide by seppuku in an abandoned temple outside Tsukui Castle.

Although the Hojo clan sent his own flanks and horses to various places to serve as the castle generation and castle lord, Takeda Shingen, who had been watching and watching, finally left. Takeda Shingen will not sit back and wait for the Hojo family to regain their strength, he has always been thinking about the gold mountains and seaports in Izu. As long as there are more outlets to the sea and gold mountains, the economy of the Takeda family can be revitalized.

On March 3rd, this **** must finally be able to rest in the city. Since October of the third year of Koji, he has been fighting outside. Now that the overall situation has been decided, he will be able to accompany her by the side of the dragon girl.

"Tell the palace and the hall of the town hall that the Takeda army has invaded Izu today." Sanada Masayuki ran into the tearoom in a hurry early in the morning, and said to Chaoding and the dragon girl who were still drinking tea and chatting.

"The timing of the Takeda family's troops is really good, I defeated the Hojo family on the front foot, and he Takeda Shingen attacked Izu on the back foot." Chao Ding smiled. This can be regarded as a favor from the Uesugi family to the Takeda family, and Izu Country is not a rich place, so it is not impossible to give it to the Takeda family.

"Doctor Daizen's move can allow the Takeda Army to reduce its losses. In the first battle of Fuchu, the casualties of the Uesugi army reached 3,000, and the total number of miscellaneous soldiers, ashigaru, and samurai of the Hojo army was about 6,000. More than 2,000 people were captured, and more miscellaneous soldiers and ashigaru fled. "Although the dragon girl can't go to watch the battle in person, she is still concerned about the battle ahead.

Asadachi motioned for Sanada Masayuki to step back, and he fell into deep thought. If the Uesugi army took advantage of the victory and continued to attack the Hojo clan branch castles in various parts of the country, although they could achieve certain results, after all, the country of Sagami was managed by the Hojo family for several generations, and it was not possible to eat it in one bite. In both Shimono and Kamiso, the Uesugi army had to choose one as the main point of attack, and it was not possible to put a large number of troops into it at the same time.

"Gorou, what are you worried about, tell me about it." Qianxin, who was holding a big belly on the side, saw Chao Ding's thoughtful look.

"I'm worried that if the army of my family is attacking both Shimono and Kamiso, it is inevitable that the people of Tokichi Kunicai's surrender will continue to fall to the Furukawa Ashikaga family and the Hojo family, but these two countries will also have to be conquered. Shimono is the territory that connects the main family in Mutsu Aizu and Dewa Yonezawa, and Kamiso is a battleground for the military family that can enter Musashi by water and Shimoso and Anbo by land······" Chao Ding is entangled.

"Shimono will be handed over to the Aizu Army and the Echigo Army, and the Kamiso will be attacked by the army led by Saitoyama Castle Mori, and the defenders in all parts of Shimoso do not need to be moved, and they can monitor every move of the people of Hitachi Province." Qianxin said very carelessly. She thinks that there is nothing to worry about in the court, after all, there are still a large number of troops that can be mobilized in Echigo, and there is no need to worry about an enemy attack. In addition, Echichu, Hida, Okushinano, and Dewa are all guarded by the retainers of the Tokan clan, and unless the surrounding daimyo and countrymen attack it in groups, it is impossible to easily threaten Echigo.

"That being said, the Iwaki family's punishment is necessary. Although Tao Qingxian is still in Aizu, if he doesn't pull out the nail of the Iwaki family, the Soma family and the Satake family will be attacked again in the future. What's more, Date Harumi's eldest son is now the adopted son of Iwaki Shigetaka, and these two families, one south and one north, can completely defeat the poor and weak Soma family again. "Asadachi is not worried about his territory in Aizu, Yonezawa and other places, but he has to care about his barrier Soma family, even if the Soma family is weak, they can still attract the attention of the Date family.

"I don't like to use tactics and strategies, and to fight is to defeat the enemy in the open." Although Kenshin said it with such righteous words, if it weren't for the court, she would have fallen into the quagmire of fighting on the two fronts of Hojo and Takeda. Even the Jinbo of Echichu and Ashina of Aizu could attack and harass the Uesugi family at will, making it impossible to concentrate on fighting Takeda and Hojo.

"Because of this, the former long-tail family will feel difficult about the war in various places. Not to mention that Neng Jinggong was defeated and died in Vietnam, even Ling Zun was mired in the quagmire of rebellion by the people of Yuego. The continuous rebellion and harassment of the Echigo guardian family and his lineage retainers such as Jokan Kamijo and Joken and his lineage retainers caused Ling Zun to spend almost his entire life in joint battles. Chao Ding couldn't help but think of the two of them, Long Tail Nengjing and Long Tail Weijing, which are living examples. Nagao Nokei sent troops to Echichu in order to rescue the Shiina family and the Jimboo family, but was suddenly rebelled by the Jimbo family, who had asked for help before, causing the road back to Echigo to be cut off and the soldiers were defeated and died. Nagao is also a military commander who has fought more than 100 times, and most of the areas where he fought are in Echigo.

“······” Qianxin really knows this past, how could she, as a descendant of the Nagao family in Fuchu, forget that history? It was because the Echigo generals were exploited by the guardians and had been burdened with military service in various parts of the Kanto region, that Nagao took the lead in raising troops. After that, the 'friendly forces' who were able to kill the Echigo guard Uesugino were able to kill with the Fuchu Nagao family in concert with the Fuchu Nagao family before they worked together to defeat them, and even raised troops to rebel.

"It is also possible to appropriately use some strategies and strategies, and to lead troops to fight a war is to adapt measures to local conditions, and to teach people according to their aptitude." It is true that there were times when the court decided to use strategies and strategies by himself, but there is no need for these when there is a difference in strength that overwhelms the other party! As long as there is strength, there will naturally be people in the opposing camp who will take the initiative to take refuge and even assist themselves.

However, what Asadari and Ryunu did not know was that the Hojo clan had sent a retainer Ando Ryosei to Kyoto as early as February 29, the purpose of which was to mediate the war with the Uesugi family. Although the main force of the Uesugi army was withdrawn, Kenji Namba remained in Tsukui-gun, Sagami Province. He, along with Toshimitsu Anazawa, attacked Kamakura County, Aijia County, and Takaza County in three days. It made the Hojo family tired up and down. They finally understood why the Uesugi family didn't take the initiative to attack Sagami before, it was because they didn't have enough strength, and now the Uesugi family has the time and energy to attack and disturb Hojo.

Even if the Hojo clan asked Ryosei Ando to succeed in Kyoto, it would be at most for the Uesugi family to stop their offensive against the Hojo family for a while. The Hojo clan also needed to continue the battle with the Takeda Army, that is, the two-front battle was temporarily eliminated.

Since the war in Kanto was not completely over, except for the small fights between Kamiso and Sagami, most of the wealthy clans of Shimono continued to be hostile to Uesugi. Numata Castle was captured on March 4.

Watanabe Sakonyoshi and others, among the Numata people, opened the castle gate as agreed with Saito Michizo and let the Uesugi army enter the castle. And before the Uesugi army entered the castle, they arrested all the Numata clans such as Numata Kentai and took them outside the castle. They have only one end - to participate in the rebellion and kill without mercy.

The Numata family has been entrenched in Numata Castle for a long time, and if their people continue to exist, then one day they will still be hostile to the Uesugi family. Rather than kill them all. And Numata Kentai, who was omitted by Numata Yumitsu, was forgiven and continued to receive the Meitokuji Temple. After that, Numata Kentai had to continue to participate in the battle against the Furukawa shogunate. After Saito Michizo settled Ueno, the number of the crusading army had risen to 30,000. Asahi ordered Kato Danzo to go to Ueno to inform Saito Michizo and order him to lead his army into Shimono.

Asadachi knew very well that the Sano family had a few catties and a few taels, and if the Sano family alone could not destroy the Ashikaga Nagao family. And the current Sano family is also fighting on two fronts. On the one hand, the Sano family needs to surround Ashikaga Castle, and on the other hand, they also need to defend themselves so that they can't let the Mibu family and other wealthy clans attack. The Ashikaga Fuji clan and Ryoda Harsuke and others were taken in by the Utsunomiya family's traitor Mashiko Katsumune in Shimono, which was very unexpected. Many wealthy families in Shimono were ostensibly hostile and at war with the Uesugi family, but they did not dare to take the initiative to accept the Ashikaga Fuji clan and Ryoda Harsuke and Ryoda Mochisuke, but this Mashiko Katsumune was a 'wonderful'.

School has started recently, and there may not be much spare time to update, so I hope you will forgive me.
