Chapter 622: Suruga changes hands
The Imagawa family, in the Muromachi shogunate era, was definitely a real famous family. What do you say about the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info? The Imagawa family is a branch of the Mikawa Kira family, and the Kira family is a branch of the Ashikaga family. So in terms of blood, the Imagawa family is a distant relative of the Ashikaga family.
In addition, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Japan, the contemporary governor of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Fankoku, supported the Northern Dynasty to which the Ashikaga clan belonged, so after the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate, the Imagawa family received fiefs in Suruga and Enoe. Since then, the Imagawa family has taken root in Suruga. By the way, the Sekiguchi family, the former retainer of the Imagawa family, is a branch of the Imagawa family.
And Sunfu Castle, as the residence of the governor of the Imagawa family, has witnessed the development of Imagawa Fanguo and others, witnessed the rise of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and now, has also witnessed the decline of the Imagawa family. Because today, this castle has a new owner, the Kai Takeda family.
However, speaking of which, the Takeda family and the Imagawa family can also be barely regarded as relatives, because the ancestor of the Takeda family is Minamoto Yoshimitsu, and the ancestor of the Imagawa clan is the Kira clan, and the ancestor of the Kira clan is the Ashikaga clan, and the Ashikaga clan is a branch established by the descendants of the Minamoto Yoshiko.
And what is the relationship between the source and the source? Brothers, or brothers, they are all sons of Yuan Laiyi. Well, as the saying goes, a man and a woman can create a nation. Although Japan is not so exaggerated, strictly speaking, all the families of the Warring States period can basically be regarded as the descendants of the three families of Gen, Taira, and Fujiwara.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why in this era, when the family is facing extinction, they always find ways to ensure the family name instead of the bloodline? Anyway, most of them are distant relatives.
Well, off topic.
Takeda Shingen stood quietly on the observation deck of the castle tower of Sunpu Castle, looking around the window at everything, and his mood was so agitated. How so? If Shingen Takeda had seen the Titanic, he would have shouted that famous line, right? Well, even if he has seen it, I'm afraid Takeda Shingen won't show his feelings.
At this time, 7 days have passed since Takeda Shingen led the army to Suruga, and it took 7 days to capture Sunfu Castle, on the one hand, it is true that the Takeda family is too strong, on the other hand, it has to be said that the Imagawa family has been completely defeated. Of course, the real departure of the Imagawa clan made the Imagawa army completely lose the idea of resistance. In fact, when Takeda Shingen attacked Sunfu Castle, he did not receive much resistance at all, only some diehards of the Imagawa family desperately resisted the attack of the Takeda army, but more than 100 people could not stop the attack of the Takeda army at all.
"My lord, according to the information I have received, the Imagawa clan and the Asahina Tai Dynasty have already led people to escape from Suruga and rush to Enoe." Sanada Yutaka's voice sounded behind Shingen Takeda.
"Hehe, he's quite crisp, he's a character." Takeda Shingen said with a chuckle. He wasn't satirizing Imagawa, but he really appreciated Imagawa's approach. Forcing it when you know you can't do it is just a puppet's bravery. Although retreating into Enjiang does not mean that the Imagawa family can turn the tables, at least there is a little more time to breathe.
However, Takeda Shingen obviously didn't intend to give the Imagawa family too much respite, "Pass my order, let Changjing be the vanguard general, and lead an army of 5,000 to attack Yuanjiang." The rest of the people continue to sweep Suruga, and I hope that within three days, Suruga will completely belong to my family!! Takeda Shingen looked at Sanada Yutaka and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Well, besides, the Suruga Navy must be wooed. Didn't Oda Yoshinobu create a navy of what? I don't know how effective they are, but if they have it and the main family doesn't, then once a war with the Oda family starts, the Oda family can easily attack Suruga from the sea! Shingen Takeda said again.
"Yes! This is done by the subordinates themselves! Sanada Yutaka said when he heard this.
"Well, I'll be relieved if you go in person." Takeda Shingen nodded and said.
Then Takeda Shingen gave two more orders, and Sanada Yutaka was about to leave, but at this moment, Takeda Katsuyori hurriedly walked in, "Father, the envoy of the Uesugi family is here!" ”
"Huh?!" Takeda Shingen immediately frowned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect the Uesugi family to suddenly send an envoy. Turning his head to look at Sanada Yukitaka, he found that he was also bowing his head and pondering, thought about it and said lightly, "Let him come in, I want to hear what Uesugi Kenshin wants to say." ”
After a while, I saw Xiao surnamed walking over with a samurai, and as soon as he saw the person, Sanada Yutaka suddenly showed a strange expression.
"The Uesugi family's retainer Naoe Keixuna has seen His Royal Highness Takeda!" Naoe Jinggang said respectfully.
"Naoe Jinggang? I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness Uesugi would send his important ministers here. Takeda Shingen chuckled, "Come to think of it, is there something important?" ”
Hearing this, Naoe Jinggang smiled, "The lord of this family heard that His Royal Highness had captured Yokoyama Castle, and concluded that in a few days, you would be able to completely capture Suruga, so I sent you to come down to Daoxi." ”
"Haha, Your Highness Uesugi is so polite, I don't know how your war is going against the Hojo family? I heard that under your attack, the Kanto lion is like a cat, and he only dares to hide in the cage and tremble~" Takeda Shingen laughed when he heard this.
"Your Highness, you have also attacked Odawara Castle in the past, and you also know that the turtle shell is really difficult to attack." Naoe Jingzuna said with a smile, "But now that Odawara Castle has been completely besieged, every day is either a banquet or watching Odawara Castle in a daze." ”
Well, I wonder how the Hojo clan and his son would react when they heard this conversation? I wonder if I'll be so angry that I'll be killed out of the city? It's just that the Takeda family and the Uesugi family have been attacking each other for so many years, and they are proper old enemies, but looking at the atmosphere between them, it seems like an ally for many years. It can only be said that the old foxes are so moody?
Subsequently, Naoe Keixuna presented a gift, and on behalf of Uesugi Kenshin, he wished the Takeda family an early capture of the Enoe Province and other nonsense, and then got up.
After he left, Takeda Shingen turned his head to look at Takeda Katsuyori, "Katsuyori, do you think Uesugi Kenshin really sent Naoe Keixuna to congratulate the family on winning Suruga?" ”
"Naturally not!" Takeda Katsuyori said directly without thinking about it, "The child thinks that Uesugi Kenshin sent Naoe Keixuna to come, I'm afraid he wants to find out what the family will do next, especially if Kotaka-sama is still in Suruga!" ”
Hearing this, Takeda Shingen suddenly laughed and said, "Not bad! He is worthy of being the heir of his family! "Okay, was this the school Takeda Katsuyori before?
