In July of the 10th year of Astronomy, when the Tsugawa family sent troops to rescue the Togo family, the Tozawa family, the overlord of Senhoku County, and the Onodera family, the overlord of Yukatsu County in the south, suddenly sent troops to participate in the battle between the Hondo family and the Rokugo family, the wealthy clan of Senhoku County.

Due to the intricate connection between the two families and the surrounding forces. The surrounding forces are either allies, in-laws, or subordinates of one side and join the fight of one side against the other. Either the enemy of one side and the army to join the other.

For a time, the entire Xianbei County was shrouded in the clouds of war.

The Rokugo family is in the city of Takane.

Onodera Uemichi stood inside the castle tower of Takane Castle and looked at the blue sky as if he was thinking about something.

The Onodera family is the biggest force in Buckstag-gun and Hira-shika-gun. He has been in the country of Dewa for many years, and now he is the twelfth generation of Onodera Uedo. However, because Onodera Uemichi has lived in Kyoto for a long time, under the influence of the long-term life of the minister, although he has made a difference in politics, he is not very good at managing the army and fighting wars.

Because of their proximity to the Onodera family, the Rokugo family actively launched diplomatic contacts with the Onodera family, and the Onodera family also tried to use the Rokugo family as a pedal to slowly infiltrate the power into Senhoku County. When the battle between the Rokugo family and the Hondo family could not be decided, Onodera Uemichi took the initiative to send someone to ask Rokugo Rokugo Katsutake if he needed reinforcements.

Rokugo Katsutake, who was worried about the war, heard that the Onodera family was willing to send troops to help, so he agreed to the Onodera family's request without thinking about it.

As a local tyrant in Xianbei County, the Tozawa family has always regarded Xianbei County as their bag. Seeing that the Onodera family intended to invade Senhoku County, the Tozawa family certainly couldn't let the Onodera family get their wish. Immediately, the head of the Tozawa family, Tozawa Michimori, also sent reinforcements to support the Hondo family.

The Tozawa family is not a native of Senhoku County. At first, the Tozawa family lived in Shizukuishi-so Tozawa Township, Iwate County, Mutsu Province, and at that time it was not Tozawa with the surname, but with the surname Dropishi. Later, under the oppression of the southern family of the overlord of Mutsu, a part of the Ripishi family migrated and came to Senhoku County in Dewa Province through the vast Ou Mountains.

Missing his homeland, he changed his surname to Tozawa in his hometown of Tozawa Township, and it is still used today.

The current head of the Tozawa family is Tozawa Michimori, who succeeded to the throne when his father died when he was in his teens. With the help of Yodogawa Castle lord Masashige Tozawa, he gradually grew. He successively won over the Maeda clan, a wealthy clan near Komatsuyama Castle. And maintained a good relationship with the Hondo family, and gradually expanded the influence of the Tozawa family.

.......

Inside the Takane Castle Castle Castle Tower, Onodera Uedo and Rokugo Katsutake sit opposite each other.

"Lord Onodera, for your dispatch to rescue my family. On behalf of the Rokugo family, I would like to express my gratitude to the adults," Katsutake Rokugo said to Onodera Uemichi.

Onodera Uemichi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Rokugo family and the family have always been good friends, since the Rokugo family is in trouble, how can the family not help?" ”

"His Royal Highness Zhidao is right," Rokugo Katsutake said in agreement.

"It's a pity that the children of the Hondo family and the Tozawa family actually have a cavalry team of 100 people, which really makes people have to be cautious."

Rokugo Shengwu, who had just suffered a big loss, also chimed in: "Yes." The enemy cavalry is indeed tricky. However, several nearby counties did not produce war horses except for the territory of the Hondo family, so that the Hondo family and the Tozawa family were dominant. After speaking, Liuxiang Shengwu slapped his thigh angrily.

"Now that our side has been newly defeated, the morale of the enemy army is high. We can only avoid it for the time being," said Onodera Uemichi.

"But, Your Highness Uedo. If you are not reconciled, the Hondo family and the Tozawa family can only slightly outperform us in the field battle by relying on the horseback team. Although the other party is helpless if the family cages the city, but in the long run, it will also be a great blow to the morale of the family," Rokugo Katsutake said.

"But you can't fight out of the city, so what's the point?" Onodera Uedo said helplessly.

"Perhaps, we can weaken this cavalry team! At that time, we will send troops to fight the enemy in the field, and we will certainly be able to turn the tide in one fell swoop. Rokugo Katsutake said with a smile.

Onodera Uedo asked; "We don't have a cavalry team, how can we weaken the enemy's cavalry team?"

Rokugo Katsutake said, "The enemy's cavalry team, except for the 50 people owned by the Hondo family, the remaining 50 people are all soldiers of the Maeda family, which is a vassal of the Tozawa family. And the Maeda clan and the Yuri Twelve Party of Yuri County have always had a grudge. The former head of the Maeda family, Michinobu Maeda, was killed in battle with the Hanekawa family in the first year of Astronomy. Perhaps we can send someone to Yuri-gun and persuade some of them to send troops to harass the rear of the Maeda family. At that time, the Maeda family will inevitably lead the army back. In this way, only 50 cavalry of the main family remained. ”

"Okay" Onodera Uemichi slapped his thigh and said excitedly. "In that case, I immediately leave a letter to the Hanekawa family in Yuri Prefecture. The head of the Hanekawa family, the Hanekawa clan, has a good relationship with me, and he will definitely send troops after receiving my letter."

"So there is a labor planting hall, Liuxiang Shengwu said." In addition, I don't know if I've heard of the Tsugawa family? ，”

Onodera Uemichi thought for a moment and shook his head. "The family hasn't heard of anything about the Tsugawa family. Please also ask Lord Rokugo to solve your doubts. ”

Rokugo Katsutake said with a smile: "Speaking of the Tsugawa family, it has a lot of roots with the main family. ”

"Let's put it this way, the old leader of the family before is in the six township leaders of the Jiaojian River basin in the southwest of Xianbei County. Later, Rokugo was given to the Tsugawa family. ”

"Then I don't know what the Lord of Rokugo Titsugawa family means?" Onodera Uemichi asked, "If you want to ask for reinforcements, it seems that a wealthy family in the countryside will not play much role in this battle."

"Haha, I don't know anything about the Planting Dao Temple." Rokugo Katsutake said unhurriedly, "The current head of the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji, has captured the Yamada family and the Osawa family in Senbei and other wealthy families, and integrated the Kakujian River Valley. The strength has improved. ”

"Oh? Was even the Osawa family wiped out by the Tsugawa family? Onodera Uemichi said, "I still know about the Osawa family, although it is only about 1,000 koku, but the Tsugawa family can defeat them." The explanation is indeed not to be underestimated. ”

"Exactly. In addition, the Tsugawa family's current sphere of influence is to the west of the Hondo family, and all the forces of the Hondo family and the Tozawa family are now concentrated in the area of Iwamatsu Castle to confront us, and the rear is empty. So maybe we can also have the Tsugawa family send troops to attack the rear of the Hondo family. Rokugo Katsutake said with a smile.

"Yes, although the strength of the Tsugawa family is not half that of the Tozawa family and the Hondo family, it is still possible to harass the rear of the enemy army. Since Lord Rokugo has a lot of connections with the Tsugawa family, let's ask the Tsugawa family to send troops from Lord Rokugo. Onodera Uemichi said.

"Then it was decided. The Uedo Hall gave a letter to the Hanegawa family and asked the Hanekawa family to attack the Maeda family's territory. And by asking the Tsugawa family to send troops to attack the rear of the Hondo family. In this way, the Tozawa family and the Hondo family could not take care of each other, and they took advantage of the enemy's return to support. If we take advantage of the situation, we will be able to win a big victory. ”

"Haha" "Hahahaha" After speaking, both of them burst out laughing.
