Since Soji Tsugawa has set the tone for the crusade against the Imagawa family, the Oda family, the Matsudaira family and others will naturally have to take action.

Soon, Oda Nobunaga and the others returned to their own territories.

Since the Kanto region was too far away, the Hojo clan had no choice but to take a boat from Owari to Izu.

Oda Nobunaga took the lead in gathering troops in the territory, and in the previous wars, although the Oda family participated in the battle, the loss of troops was not large.

After all, at the beginning, the Oda family only paddled behind the Imagawa family, and only experienced a real battle under the castle of Kannonji Temple, so the situation of the family's troops was relatively stable.

The Matsudaira family was a little miserable.

Since Matsudaira Motonobu's grandfather, the first generation of masters, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, died at the hands of his retainer Masatoyo Abe, the Matsudaira family's control in Mikawa has plummeted.

Although Imagawa Yoshimoto is now dead, the Imagawa family's control over Mikawa has not weakened much.

Matsudaira Motonobu had the intention of sweeping away the remnants of the Imagawa family in Mikawa, but there were many wealthy families in Mikawa, and the forces were complicated. Matsudaira Motoshin is really powerless.

However, this crusade against the Imagawa family gave Matsudaira Motonobu hope.

Matsudaira, Oda, and Hojo joined forces, and they were already strong, plus there was the big Buddha of the Tsugawa family behind them, so it was not too simple to clean up a few disobedient wealthy families.

Soon, the Matsudaira family's 4,000 ashigaru had also been mobilized, and just waiting for the Oda family to dispatch, the two families could join forces and march towards Enoe Province.

The troop movements of Owari and Mikawa were huge, and naturally they could not hide from the Suruga Imagawa family.

Since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, there has been turmoil within the Imagawa family, but fortunately, Shou Gui Ni is still alive, and with his outstanding ability and political skills, the Imagawa family was quickly recovered.

In the Suruga Sunfu Museum, the current head of the Imagawa family, known as a football player, the Imagawa clan really looked at the letter in his hand with a sad face.

"The Matsudaira family and the Oda family are gathering troops at this time, so they are going to attack the main family?"

Imagawa is not as wasteful as people think, and although his success in the field of "football" is far greater than his political and military achievements, this does not mean that he is a wine bag and a rice bag.

"My lord, in addition to the Oda family and the Matsudaira family, the Sagami Hojo clan also has to be careful with their movements!" A retainer said worriedly at this time.

The Imagawa clan was really puzzled, "Isn't there a contract between the Hojo family and the main family?" It's been a long time since the two of us moved to fight, and although the Hojo family has shown signs of mobilizing troops, maybe it's going to go to Kanto? ”

"The Kanto family is now the Tsukawa family's eagle dog, forces such as Satomi, Uesugi, Satake and other forces are allies and in-laws of the Tsugawa family, the Hojo family and the Tsugawa family are now so far away, how can they risk offending the Tsugawa family to attack the Kanto family?"

"And now that the Hojo family, the Oda family, and the Matsudaira family are mobilizing troops at the same time, this is naturally coming for the main family!" The chief of the pelican hall replied with a sigh.

Imagawa Shin realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, "Even if the Oda family and the Matsudaira family join forces, the main family is already like a great enemy, and if there is another Hojo family, then the main family is really powerless." ”

"How many troops can still be mobilized in the family territory now?"

"The preliminary estimate is less than 20,000."

Although they were defeated outside the city of Guanyin Temple, most of the peasant soldiers fled back to the territory. Coupled with the wealth and heritage accumulated by the Imagawa family over the years, if you really want to decide to fight to the death, you can still mobilize 20,000 troops.

"With the Oda family and the Matsudaira family's Ishitaka, their mobilization power will not exceed 10,000 people. But with the addition of the Hojo family, the number of enemy troops is at least about 30,000, and the family is at a disadvantage! "Imagawa really calculated.

"The most important thing is that my family has just experienced a fiasco, and the morale of the family is extremely low, if the enemy army comes to attack at this time, I am afraid the odds of victory are very low!"

The retainers present expressed an extremely pessimistic view of the war.

"Do you have a plan to defend against the enemy?" The Imagawa clan is still young and has just ascended to the throne, and he still lacks experience in encountering such a thing, so he can only ask his retainers for help.

Hearing Imagawa's true words, a person suddenly stood up among the retainers.

"My lord, I think that this family can ask for help from the Takeda family in Kai!"

"The Takeda family and the main family are in-laws, and the mother of the lord, Joein, is the sister of Takeda's Daikai, and the sister of the lord is the wife of the young master of the Takeda family. With the relationship between the Takeda family and the main family, he will definitely send troops to support the family. ”

"Besides, the Takeda family will not sit idly by and watch the Matsudaira family and the Hojo family sit big, and the other party will not sit idly by." Sekiguchi said in a deep voice.

Hearing Sekiguchi Shihiro's words, the retainers in the palace nodded one after another.

The Imagawa clan on the throne was also a little moved, but he turned his head to the side and looked at his grandmother sitting beside him, "What does grandmother think?" ”

Shou Guini, who was holding the Buddha beads with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst with a determination that should not have been at this age, "The old body will send a letter of resignation to Kai, as for whether the Takeda family sends troops, it depends on Takeda Kai." ”

"There is an old lady who comes out, and the Takeda family will naturally not refuse."

Shou Gui Ni is a figure who has experienced the ups and downs of the Imagawa family for several generations, and after the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the Imagawa family was able to continue to rule Suruga and other places thanks to Shou Gui Ni. With her coming forward, the Takeda family naturally wants to give face.

......

Kai, Tsugasaki Pavilion.

Garfield was sitting in the palace at this time, touching his beard, and a group of important ministers of the Takeda family were sitting around him.

Putting down the Imagawa family's request for help in his hand, Garfield raised his head and said with a smile, "Everyone, the Imagawa family sent someone to ask for help, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Lord, this is a great time for my family to capture Suruga in one fell swoop!"

"Suruga is rich, and if we can occupy this place, the strength of our family will be greatly improved. The most important thing is that Suruga is close to the sea, and the land of salt by the sea will no longer be bound by people! ”

"What a godsend!" Takasaka Masanobu said excitedly.

As soon as the words fell, a young samurai immediately stood up, "Father, the Imagawa family and the main family are in-laws, how can they do such a treacherous thing?" ”

"Now that the Imagawa family is in trouble, even if the family doesn't help, they can't fall into the ground!"

Hearing the eldest son's words, Garfield's eyes showed a look of disappointment, "Taro, you have to remember that in addition to being the son-in-law of the Imagawa family, you are also the son of my Takeda Harunobu and the young master of the Takeda family!" ”

"Act yourself and put the interests of the Takeda family first!"

Takeda Yoshinobu obviously didn't listen, and directly turned his face and said, "What Takasaka-sama said, I will definitely not agree to it!" ”

"The family is not dead yet, and the Takeda family is not your turn to call the shots!"

"Come on, bring this rebel down for me, and punish you for not leaving the house for five days!" Garfield was clearly furious.

I've been reading Garfield for more than ten years, why did you give birth to such a thing?
