At the same time, Hosokawa Nobumoto was also ready to go to Oshu.

Oshu is another name for Mutsu Okuni, and there are three steep checkpoints to enter Oshu: the Belai Pass, the Shirakawa Pass, and the Nenzhong Pass, collectively known as the "Three Passes of Oshu".

Now these three checkpoints are all in the hands of the Hosokawa family, and it can be said that they completely control the initiative to send troops.

Hosokawa Nobumoto gathered his forces at Odawara Castle, with a total of more than 60,000 troops, and landed in Hitachi Province by water.

Entering Oshu from Belaiguan and attacking South Oshu under the cover of the navy.

Nenzhong Pass and the Uesugi family continued to defend, while Belai Pass and Shirakawa Pass were handed over to Satake, Yuki and other "Oriental People".

The attack went surprisingly well, and with little resistance, South Oshu was taken. But...

"My lord, it seems that the enemy has implemented the tactics of clearing the wall, and there is no one in the place where our army passes." Honda Masanobu looked at the village in front of him, which had been burned to the ground.

"This Tsugawa Soji is really a ruthless character, last time he drove the people to return home, and this time he came to the end of the household again! He's a butcher, right? If you abuse the people so badly, aren't you afraid of losing the hearts of the people? Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, I've seen it ruthless, but I've never seen it so ruthless.

"My lord, it seems that this Tsugawa Soji has the ambition to destroy a country and win the world." Honda Masanobu looked at the sun, and today I am afraid that I will be sleeping in the wilderness again, and the cities everywhere have been destroyed.

"How?" Hosokawa Nobumoto has never heard of this crooked reasoning, he has only heard that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

"My lord, the people have a characteristic, that is, as long as they can eat enough, they will not hear what is going on outside the window. Although he has destroyed the southern Oshu, it is assumed that he wins the battle and takes over the world. At that time, if he implements the benevolent government of the world, he will be able to cover up this crime completely! The so-called history is written by the victors! "Honda Masanobu has extremely high political acumen, and he can see at a glance the Tsukawa family's intentions.

"yes, wasn't that what Nobunaga was like in the first place? Burning Mt. Hiei has become the enemy of the Buddha in the world! But the result? If it is true that the world is seized and the Buddhas are exterminated, then the theory of the enemy of the Buddha will naturally not exist. Maybe... will also make up a nonsense to portray himself as a defender who slays demons and destroys demons! Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, this kind of courage that was born after death is really not something that ordinary people can have.

This Tsugawa Soji is not simple, he is not a murderer, he is a generation of heroes! There is quite a kind of domineering spirit of "I'd rather bear the people of the world, and Hugh let the people of the world bear me".

"I just don't know, what conspiracy this Tsugawa family is going to hold back." Honda Masanobu also remembered the last time in the middle of the ambush, this time out of the battle, cautious and cautious, even the probe horse was released five miles away.

"Hahaha! Whatever! The so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! He is strong, he is strong, the breeze caresses the mountain, he is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river! Hosokawa Nobumoto was full of confidence, with the momentum of seeing the move.

"Huh? The lord's words are incisive! It's quite Zen in mind! After hearing this, Honda's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire.

"Hahaha! Walk! Let's climb over the hill in front of us and set up camp again! I don't believe it, can he give up South O's, can he give up Central O's, give up his hometown? Sooner or later, he will fight. Hosokawa Nobumoto stepped forward, he and Tsugawa Soji had a battle sooner or later, but the location of this decisive battle was only chosen by the other party.

In this way, the Hosokawa army went deep into Oshu and arrived at Nihonmatsu Castle half a month later.

Nihonmatsu Castle is located on the 345-meter-high White Flag Peak and is the residence of the Nihonmatsu clan. And the Nihonmatsu clan is also called the Oshu Hatakeyama clan.

The Hatakeyama clan, one of the famous clans, came from the Kanbu Taira clan, and was wiped out by the Hojo clan during the Kamakura period. When the wife of the lord Hatakeyama Shigetada (the daughter of Shigetada) remarried Ashikaga Yoshisumi (1176~1210), Ashikaga Yoshijun changed his surname to Hatakeyama and inherited the old leader of the Hatakeyama family. The bloodline of the Hatakeyama clan changed from "Taira" to "Genji".

The Genji Hatakeyama family was later divided into the Nihonmatsu Hatakeyama family, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family, and the Noto Hatakeyama family. The Hatakeyama family in Kawachi was one of the three clans of the Muromachi shogunate, and the dispute between the clan and the governor was one of the causes of the "Onin War".

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the head of the Hatakeyama clan was Hatakeyama Takakoku. Gao Guo Ren Oshu explored the problem, went to the Ou area, and established a stronghold of the Northern Dynasty. However, under the influence of the "Kanio Riot", he fought against the Naoyoshi faction Kira Sada, who was also an Oshu probe, and was defeated and died. Subsequently, the Hatakeyama clan evolved into the Nihonmatsu clan, a native of Mutsu Province.

The current head of the Nihonmatsu family is Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni, who was originally the son of Shinjomura Sho of the Nihonmatsu family, and was originally just a salted fish. But coincidentally, the head of the Nihonmatsu family, Nihonmatsu Yoshiji, died young and had no heirs, so he seized the position of the Nihonmatsu family with the help of Tsugawa Soji.

"I didn't expect that even Nibenmatsu Castle was destroyed. This Tsugawa Soji's methods are really extraordinary, he is so wanton to destroy the city and destroy the village, is he not afraid of the rebellion of these local wealthy families? Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the ruins in front of him, and admired his courage in his heart, knowing that even if he could be ruthless, but his local wealthy family was not so easy to settle, after all, these cities and villages were the foundation of their own family.

"Probably... It's a promise of a lot of profits. Honda Masanobu felt that there was only one possibility.

"It seems... The Tsukawa family has a lot of appetite, and if they give up so much, it must be a big picture! Hosokawa Nobumoto knew that the Tsugawa family must be playing a big gamble, and there must be a great predicament ahead of him, waiting for him.

"My lord, the intelligence network here has been destroyed, and the members of the organization cannot be contacted for the time being." Matsunaga Xiu also walked over and whispered, only the three of them knew the meaning of this sentence.

"Well, this is also a reasonable thing, so let's rely on the things in the army to gather intelligence." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, since the last time the Mochizuki organization in Oshu was destroyed, it has been difficult to infiltrate again.

"Let's rest here tonight, and by the way, spill all the ninjas out and let me go far away! It is bound to find out where the main force of the Tsugawa Army is for me! "After traveling for so many days, Hosokawa Nobumoto is also a little anxious, Oshu is too big, and finding the enemy's main force is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Yes! Your Majesty Commanded! "Honda is believing in the orders of the lower chief, and he is still in charge of everything in the army.

At night, the Hosokawa army camped and rested in an orderly manner, and dark and open sentinels were all around. On the outermost periphery, there are ninja armies roaming around irregularly to keep the army safe.

Hosokawa Nobumoto had already fallen asleep, but he always felt that someone was faintly calling him.

"My lord... Lord... Please wake up... I've found the traces of the Tsukawa Army..."Still struggling to find the latest chapter?
