"Damn! Damn it! This is betrayal! This is a naked betrayal! "The current head of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan, learned that the Takeda family had accepted the Uesugi family's land reparations, and he was so angry that he roared like thunder and thundered in the main hall, scolding Takeda Katsuyori, a despicable villain who forgot his righteousness.

The Takeda family was also not at peace at this time, and due to the slander of Nagasaki Nagakan and Katsuji Kebe, two close ministers, Takeda Katsuyori ordered the withdrawal of troops. This made Takeda Nobutoshi and Takasaka Masanobu, who were the chief and deputy envoys, very dissatisfied, this is not playing with the two of them.

Hosokawa Nobumoto secretly reached an alliance agreement with Uesugi Keikatsu, so the army withdrew from Vietnam. At this time, he already knew that Sado Island was completely occupied by the Tsugawa family, Sasa Narumasa and Miyata Koji were martyred, and there were heavy losses in Nengbei, and there was not one out of ten people who fled back.

"Troops! I'm going to send troops at once! How is the ashigaru mobilized? "The Hojo clan decided to personally send troops to help the seventh brother Uesugi Keitor.

"My lord! Huang Bei is assembled! The Hojo clan shouted loudly, he was the son-in-law of the Hojo clan's ancestor Hojo clan Yasu, and his father was the famous Hojo Tsunashi who was the commander of the famous Huang Bei.

In fact, Hojo Goshibei can be simply understood as the five front armies, Huang Bei sits in the northeast of Musashi Province and fights against the Kamisho family; Akabi sits in the eastern part of Sagami Province against the Satomi family; Seibei sits in the southeastern part of Musashi Province against the Satake family; Hakubei sat in Suruga and Izu and played against the Takeda family; Kurobi sits in Ueno Province against the Kamishi family.

However, the most glorious time of the five-color preparation was the period of the Hojo clan, when the Hojo Tsunari (yellow), Hojo Tsunataka (red), Kasahara Yasukatsu (white), Tamu Mototada (black), Tominaga Naokaka (green) led the troops to gallop across the field, and the prestige spread far and wide, laying the largest territory of the Hojo family.

Now, decades have passed, and many veterans have either retired or died of illness, such as Huang Bei Hojo Tsusunari after the death of the clan Yasuko, who lived in seclusion and passed on the family leadership and all positions to the Hojo clan. After the death of Yasukatsu Shirakusahara, he was succeeded by the fifth male of Yasuko, Hojo Clan. After the death of Naokaka in battle, he was succeeded by the third son of Yasuko, Hojo Clan.

"Lord, the red preparation is assembled!" Hojo Tsunataka has a strong voice, he has been serving the Hojo family since the early cloud period of Hojo, and now he is the fourth generation of the Hojo clan, and he can be described as a veteran.

"Heibei is also assembled." Tamu Mototada also bowed his head, he was the military advisor of the Hojo family and the commander of the Konoe Kurobei. The Tamu family was one of the first seven samurai to follow Hojo Sakumo, and was one of the retainers of the early Hojo family, the "Grass Creation Seven Hand Family Elders".

"Lord, Qingbei and Baibei have also been assembled!" The Hojo clan and the clan rules brothers also arrived, and they and the second brother of the head of the family, the Hojo clan, were brothers of the same mother.

"Excellent! I decide! The Hojo clan nodded with satisfaction, and was just about to give the order to go out of the battle, when he was interrupted by an old monk.

"The lord is slow, and his subordinates think it's not easy to move the sword now." Everyone looked at the old monk who spoke, it was the Hojo Phantom An, who was known as the "black-clothed prime minister" of the Hojo family, and he was the third male of Hojo Sakumo.

"Does Uncle Phantom have any suggestions?" In the face of this god-like third grandfather, the elder of the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan as the head of the family, did not dare to make a mistake.

"Hmm... His subordinates received information that Uesugi Keikatsu ceded Kita-Ueno to the Takeda family, which was equivalent to cutting off the road of the family's Northern Expedition. If the lord wants to go on a northern expedition, it is best to communicate with the Takeda family first, after all, the north is now considered the territory of the Takeda family. "Hojo Phantom has in his hands one of the "Three Great Ninjas of the Warring States", the Wind Demon Ninja, and the information from all over the world is gathered in him.

"But Uncle Phantom, his Takeda family ignored the 'Kosami Covenant' and openly received the benefits of Uesugi Keikatsu! Withdraw troops without authorization, causing my seventh brother to be in a desperate situation! Did he have the consent of my Hojo family? "Hojo Clan Masa's face was full of anger when he talked about this, but the help he said was good has become such a situation, how can he swallow this evil breath.

"The lord is angry, at this time and at that time, since his Takeda family only cares about interests and despises the covenant? Then let's give him benefits! Didn't Uesugi Keikatsu promise him Kita-Ueno and 10,000 taels of gold? Then let Jing Hu also agree that he has Kitakamino, and give him 10,000 more gold than Jing Sheng! It can still be pulled back into the front line of the family. Hojo Phantom said unhurriedly, for this kind of political trick, he is very handy. During his ordination, he traveled extensively and learned many skills, not only proficient in tea ceremony and singing, but also a famous shakuhachi and a drummer, and a great talent in politics.

Although Hojo Mirage has not returned to the world, he actually got rid of the identity of a monk and operated as the Hojo clan, taking the position of chief housekeeper, unifying the castle town, directing the Wind Demon Party to collect intelligence for the Hojo family, and unifying the religious forces such as Nishisagami, Higashi Suruga, and Izu for the Hojo family.

The most interesting thing is that he also vigorously ran the hot spring business, which may be the secret of his longevity.

"What? Let the family come up with the money to feed this white-eyed wolf! No way! This is absolutely not a no-go! "When the Hojo clan heard that he was going to dedicate it to the Takeda family, he said that he would not do anything! Oh, his grandfather, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather are all well-known Sagami lions, and they have never grovelled. When you come to him, not only do you have to go to the gold and silver with a shy face, but you also have to admit that Kita-Ueno belongs to the Takeda family? Dream!

"My lord, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems. In this regard, the Hosokawa family did the best, and he never skimped on money. Hojo Phantom was still trying his best to persuade this little ancestor, secretly scolding in his heart that he was spoiled by his father.

"Nonsense! This family is not stingy with money! This donation is really a loss of the majesty of the family! I think... He, the Hosokawa family, would never do this! "Hojo clan Masa's guess was wrong this time, all of them didn't know that Hosokawa Nobumoto had already reached a secret agreement with Uesugi Keikatsu, and the Hosokawa family was really willing to make this contribution.

"But..."

"That's it! Uncle Huan, don't persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind! His Takeda family is a white-eyed wolf that can't be fed, starting with Xin Xuangong! Betraying the alliance is like playing the family, saying that if you turn your face, you will turn your face, have you forgotten the fate of the Imagawa family! Hojo remembered the Imagawa clan who was cheated by the Takeda family, his unlucky brother-in-law.

So the Hojo clan decided to raise troops and immediately went north to Uesugi Keikatsu.

"Ahh Imagawa really rubbed his nose, just now someone was talking to him again.

"Your Highness, it's cold, pay attention to keeping warm, do you want to go out today?" His wife, Hayakawaden, gently clothed him in a cloak that was now winter.

"Of course! Today I made an appointment with Yagata Adult! You can't miss the appointment! "Imagawa Shin seems to be in high spirits, and he is going to rush to play football with Hosokawa Nobumoto.

After the demise of the Imagawa family, Shin took refuge in Hojo Ieyasu and lived in Izu, and later to Tokugawa Ieyasu and served as the lord of Makino Castle, and then he became a monk, and began to study the art of waka without caring about the world.

On the occasion of this year's New Year, he left for Kyoto and gave Hosokawa Nobumoto's incense burner "Chidori" to Hosokawa as a gift, and also showed his powerful ball skills in front of Nobumoto, which increased entertainment and made Nobumoto much praised.

After Hosokawa Nobumoto saw the talent of this Warring States "Adou", he was no longer afraid of Shizhen and allowed him to live in Kyoto.
