Chapter 611: The Desperate Imagawa Family
Suruga, Yokoyama Castle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Eleven days have passed since Takeda Shingen led his army to attack Yokoyama Castle, and in these eleven days, Takeda Shingen has exhausted all means to gradually wipe out the defenses of Yokoyama Castle little by little. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before Yokoyama Castle will definitely be attacked by Takeda Shingen.
Speaking of which, Takeda Shingen has never been a good sieger, as if a castle in the past kept him out of Ueno for several years. But this attack attacked Yokoyama Castle again, but Takeda Shingen was already well prepared, and even brought Sanada Yutakaka, who was guarding Shinano, with him. Although there is an agreement between him and Uesugi Kenshin, it can also be seen that Takeda Shingen is determined to capture Suruga.
At this time, it was late at night, but the lights were still on in Abe Motoma's room in Yokoyama Castle. Obviously, the current situation makes Abe Genzhen unable to sleep at all.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by a tired voice, "Abe-sama, are you looking for me?" As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared at the door, but it was towards Binai Taichao.
At this time, the samurai, who had just turned thirty, had a tired look on his face, and like Abe Motojine, the fierce offensive of the Takeda family left him with little time to rest.
"It's coming......" Abe Motojin looked at Asahina Taichao and whispered, then waved his hand to signal him to take a seat, and then said lightly, "What do you think of the current situation?" ”
Hearing this, Asahina Taichao suddenly smiled bitterly, "What else can you see?" Let's keep it for a day. ”
Well, a word that borders on despair, but it's also something that can't be helped. Although they lost contact with the outside world after the Takeda family besieged Yokoyama Castle, they had already learned the news before the Takeda army besieged the castle, and Uesugi Kenshin and the Kanto group attacked the Hojo family.
No matter how you think about it, Asahina Taichao can't think of a reason why the Hojo family can turn around, of course, it's not that Asahina Taichao has any feelings for the Hojo family, it's just because of this, the Hojo family has no way to support the Imagawa family.
And in addition to losing such a powerful reinforcement as the Hojo family, what made him even more desperate was that not long ago, the Imagawa clan gathered 8,000 troops to support Yokoyama Castle, but was ambushed by the army led by Takeda Shingen, who had been prepared for a long time, and the Imagawa clan was almost captured. Although he finally fled back to Sunfu Castle, this battle shattered the last glimmer of hope for the Imagawa family.
So, in the face of such a situation, what hope can the Asahinai Tai Dynasty see?
Hearing this, Abe Motojin sighed, although Asahina's words sounded quite harsh, but if this was the case, what could he do? At this time, there were only more than 3,000 people left in Yokoyama Castle, and all of them were fatigued divisions, so how could they resist the offensive of the Takeda army?
However, he recovered quickly, after all, he called the Asahinai Tai Dynasty this time, and he didn't really want to get any strategy from him to break the enemy.
"Tai Chao, I want to give you a task, but I don't know if you dare to take it." Abe Motojin asked lightly.
"Please rest assured! For the sake of the Imagawa family, I am not afraid of life and death! Hearing this, Asahina Taichao immediately stood up excitedly and said loudly.
"Good!" Abe Motojin looked at Asahina Taichao and nodded, and then said with a solemn expression, "I want you to rush back to Junfu City overnight to protect the lord and go to Yuanjiang!" ”
"What?!"
Sunpu Castle.
Imagawa sat casually under the pillars in the corridor, his head tilted, and his eyes stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky. He held a jug of wine in his hand and kept pouring it into his mouth, and beside him, several empty bottles were scattered around, apparently he had drunk a lot just now.
"Father, grandmother, can you tell the child what to do?" Imagawa muttered to himself. It's not that he can't afford to lose, but after losing that battle, he has already crushed all the hopes of the Imagawa family. The doubts of the local wealthy clans, the vacillation of the retainers, and the low morale made the Imagawa clan really understand that the Imagawa family was over.
Since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto in 1560, the Imagawa clan has been in the position of Imagawa family governor for 8 years, and for 8 years, he has been dreaming about how to revive the Imagawa family. It's just that in the end, he still failed, and the Imagawa family, who lost almost all the outstanding samurai, how could he recover in just 8 years?
At this moment, a pair of white little hands appeared behind Imagawa Shin, holding a cloak in both hands, and gently draped it on Imagawa's shoulders, "Your Highness, it's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold." Hayakawa looked at Imagawa Clan and said gently.
Hayakawa knows why Imagawa is like this, but it's a pity that she is as smart as her, but she doesn't know how to comfort Imagawa at this time. In other words, any consolation at this time had no effect, because everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before Yokoyama Castle was breached, and once Yokoyama Castle was breached, the Takeda Army would sweep the entire Suruga like a storm. In this regard, the Imagawa family now has no way.
"Hayakawa, do you think I'm a very failed governor?" Imagawa Shin asked softly in a rather self-deprecating tone, looking at the sky.
"Your Highness, under the circumstances of the time, no one could have done better than you." Hayakawa whispered comforting.
"Haha, huh?" The Imagawa clan laughed when he heard this, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Hayakawa, you don't need to say these nice things to comfort me, the family is in this situation today, all because of my incompetence!" ”
"I've read the information about the Oda family, and it can be said that when Oda Nobunaga succeeded to the family governor, the situation was many times worse than I don't know, but now? The Oda family has become the overlord of and is ready to begin to unify the world. Imagawa Shin said with a wry smile while pouring wine, "There is a saying in the Ming Kingdom, the general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and I feel as if he is talking about me." ”
When Hayakawa heard this, he wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then he saw a young surname running in in a hurry, "Your Highness, I'm back with Lord Bina." ”
Hearing this, the Imagawa clan stood up suddenly, "Why did he come back?!" Just finished speaking, he sat down a little dejectedly, "Hehe, wasn't it expected that Hengshan City would be breached?" ”
At this moment, Asahina Taichao walked in quickly, "Lord, Lord Abe ordered his subordinates to come and protect the lord to go to Yuanjiang!" Asahina said in a low tone.
"Yuanjiang?!" Imagawa Shinma turned his head to look at Asahina Taichao.
"It's okay......" Imagawa nodded slightly, and for a moment, he seemed to be ten years older.
