Chapter 659: The Web Formed Again (2)
Muto Masayuki was very confused about Takeda Shingen's sudden mobilization of 10,000 troops, because he didn't understand what Takeda Shingen was planning to do. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Because if you want to attack Yuanjiang, it is impossible for a force of 10,000 people to get any dismissal. After all, it's not ten years ago, and the current war, without tens of thousands of people, has nothing to fight at all.
And when Takeda Shingen personally led the army to Odawara, Muto Masayuki was immediately stunned, because he didn't understand what Takeda Shingen wanted to do at all. Support the Hojo family? How can it be! And with only those 10,000 people, they used to deliver food. Can you support the Uesugi family? The Uesugi family doesn't need the support of the Takeda family.
However, Takeda Shingen didn't explain much about this, but just left a sentence "It has to be over quickly." This kind of somewhat inexplicable words.
And the actions of the Takeda family were quickly sent to the Imagawa clan's case. "What exactly does Shingen Takeda want to do?" Imagawa muttered to himself in a strange way. Regarding the fact that the Takeda family sent troops to Sagami Province, the Imagawa clan really didn't understand it at all.
"Could it be that you want to take advantage of the Uesugi family's siege of Odawara to take the castle in the western part of Odawara?" Hayakawa also muttered to herself in confusion, but as soon as she finished speaking, she denied it herself, "The alliance between the Uesugi family and the Takeda family is already unstable, if the Takeda family really does this, I'm afraid Uesugi Kenshin will immediately turn around and attack the Takeda family." ”
After half a ring, the two of them didn't come up with a reason, "Just hand it over to the lord and see what he does." Imagawa said helplessly, and then continued to deal with government affairs. In addition to government affairs, the Imagawa clan invested all the surplus financial resources and the resources of Oda Nobunaga's assistance in the defense of the Takeda family. With Kakegawa Castle as the center, five fortified castles were built around it, and the Asahinatai Dynasty was transferred to Takatenjin Castle. The Imagawa clan really hoped that when the Takeda family attacked, he would have enough time to wait for Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements.
Just when the Imagawa clan really didn't understand what Takeda Shingen was going to do, Takeda Shingen's army ushered in Uesugi Kenshin and his army of 10,000. Uesugi Kenshin was also puzzled by the sudden action of the Takeda family, but just in case, he still personally led the army to come. At this time, it was the most critical time to besiege Odawara Castle, and Uesugi Kenshin did not want anything to go wrong.
The two armies stopped at a distance of less than 200 meters, and Uesugi Kenshin was about to send someone to inquire, when he saw a horse in the Takeda army walking out, it was Takeda Shingen.
"......" Uesugi Kenshin was silent when he saw this, and after thinking about it, he still came out of the formation and faced Takeda Shingen, after all, people came out in person, if he didn't come forward, wouldn't he be looked down upon?
"Tiger, let's talk about your intentions, don't say that you brought someone for a walk." Uesugi Kenshin sneered.
Hearing this, Takeda Shingen didn't speak, and directly threw a letter on the ground, and then turned around and returned to the formation.
"Tsk, this dead tiger." Uesugi Kenshin looked at Takeda Shingen's back and thought unhappily, if he could, he definitely wouldn't recommend slashing Takeda Shingen with one sword. It's just a pity that the distance between the two is more than 50 meters, and they both ride famous horses, Takeda Shingen wants to go, and Uesugi Kenshin can't catch up at all.
After thinking about it, Uesugi Kenshin stepped forward to pick up the letter, and with that casual appearance, he didn't seem to be worried about the Takeda family taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Just opened it and looked at it, Uesugi Kenshin's face suddenly changed, it was the information that the Oda family had eliminated the Asakura and Asai families. "......I see," Uesugi thought confidently, and through this information, he already knew Takeda Shingen's intentions.
"Lord!" When Uesugi Kenshin returned to the army, Kawada Naga immediately came up.
"Let's go, go back to Odawara." Uesugi Kenshin said directly, with no intention of explaining at all. And although Kawada Changqin looked puzzled, he didn't dare to ask more. And when the Uesugi army left, Takeda Shingen also led the army to follow.
In the afternoon of the same day, the flag of the Takeda family fluttered among the Kwantung coalition forces. And when Takeda Shingen appeared in the coalition main camp, whether it was Yoshishige Satake or Yoshiyao Satomi, they were all shocked. After all, the relationship between Uesugi and Takeda is well known to the world, and now, the two are sitting not far away and talking happily?
The governors of the Kwantung Coalition looked up at the sky, "It doesn't seem like the end of the world...... but they were just shocked by this, and they didn't think too much about it. Because they believed that it was impossible for Uesugi Kenshin to let Takeda Shingen extend his influence into the Kanto region.
Odawara Castle.
Hojo Shikang was lying on the bed weakly, last month, Hojo Shikang suddenly became ill, and he didn't care much about it at the time, and he never thought that in less than a month, Hojo Shiyasu's health was getting worse and worse. During this time, I was almost always lying in bed and couldn't get up at all.
In this regard, the doctors of the Hojo family could not give any specific explanation, and there were not many drugs in the city, so that Hojo's family could not be truly diagnosed and treated at all. It is conceivable that if this continues, it will not be long before this lion from Sagami will pass away.
During this time, the affairs of the entire Hojo family were all pressed on the Hojo clan's body, and fortunately, at this time, the Hojo family was completely surrounded in Odawara Castle, and there were not many things that needed to be dealt with by the Hojo clan. And at this time, the Hojo clan was already 30 years old, and he had worked in the position of the governor for 9 years, so he was also handy in handling affairs.
However, obviously, Hojo Shiyasu's illness made the morale of the entire Hojo Army extremely low, and if it weren't for the Kwantung Coalition Army, no one wanted to attack it, I'm afraid Odawara Castle would have been taken long ago.
At this time, Hojo Masamasu was listening to Hojo's advice in front of Hojo's bed, perhaps knowing his illness, and during this time, Hojo Clan always took time to continue to pass on his experience over the years.
After a while, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, but it was the wind demon Kojiro, "Your Highness, my lord, the envoy of the Uesugi family is here." ”
"What?! How dare they send emissaries?! Pull me out and cut it! Hojo said angrily, but his voice was very slight, for fear of disturbing Hojo Yasu.
It's just that when he heard Hojo Clan's words, Wind Demon Kotaro hesitated, and seeing this, Hojo Clan Masa was immediately dissatisfied, "What? Afraid of offending the Uesugi family?! When he said this, Hojo Masa's eyes became very dangerous, during this time, because Hojo Clan Kang was seriously ill, there were already many retainers who wanted to secretly communicate with the Uesugi family, so Hojo Clan Masato really killed a lot of people.
Hearing this, Wind Demon Kotaro hurriedly responded, "The villain has no such intention, but ......" hesitated for a moment, and Wind Demon Kojiro seemed to be thinking about how to speak, and only after a long time before he said slowly under the gaze of the Hojo clan, "But that messenger is Sanada Yutaka of the Takeda family." ”
