Higashiminong, under the city of Seedling City.

Akiyama Nobuyo's Minami Shinano Army, with more than 3,000 troops, was besieging Naoki Castle and attacking it with all its might.

After the disastrous defeat to Nobutomo Akiyama in the Battle of Uemura, the Higashimino clan lost the confidence to fight the Takeda family, and now they are all in their own cages, sitting on the sidelines between the Oda and Takeda families.

Therefore, the lord of Naoki Castle, Toyama Tomatada, also knew that there would not be any reinforcements coming, and now the situation in Higashimino Toyama is that after Toyama Keiren died of illness, Akiyama Nobuyo captured Iwamura Castle and married his wife, preparing to inherit the name of the Toyama family in this capacity.

As for Yuanshan Youzhong, who is a side branch of the Yuanshan clan, he will definitely not let this happen and let the Yuanshan clan become a puppet in the hands of others, so he is determined to resist to the end.

Danshi now has only a few hundred defenders in the city, and under the attack of the superior forces of the Akiyama Army, the city of seedlings is already crumbling.

At this moment, Akiyama Nobutomo was sitting on top of the maza, looking at the castle and setting fire to the tiger's mouth.

Akiyama Nobutomo looked at the castle soldiers, who only had the strength to defend under the Takeda army besieging everywhere, and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Finally, Otemon was burned by Takeda's arms, and there was a roaring sound of collapse.

"Hold off the siege, and then send someone to the front, persuade Yuanshan Yuzhong to surrender, and tell him that as long as he surrenders to my faithful friend, I will keep his family name, and as an auxiliary in the capacity of the Yuanshan tribe, second only to me under Qiushan. Otherwise, if the city is broken, the whole city will not be left. ”

Nobuyo Akiyama stood up from his mazar and spoke confidently.

Immediately, the Takeda army sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender and told him what Akiyama believers had said.

The city was silent for a while, and then there were loud shouts and scolding from several men, and Akiyama Nobuyo's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but he just said a mocking word.

Immediately, Akiyama Nobutomo continued to order his troops to attack the city, and he re-seated himself on the Maza, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

Higashimino was as important to the Takeda family as it was to the Oda family, and for both Shinano and Nishimino Higashimino was the watershed between the two sides, separated by high mountains and mountains, with a difficult Nakasendo trail running through it.

The high mountains and mountains have always been where the Ping Domain is, and in terms of Mino, most of the stone heights are concentrated on the West Mino, where the Nonwei Plain is located, while the East Mino Mountains are relatively barren, but because of the mountain barrier, they can be relied on as a barrier and become a battleground for soldiers.

Therefore, the Oda and Takeda families have always done their best to win over the Toyama family, the largest wealthy family in Higashimino.

Since Nobunaga married his uncle to Naoru Toyama in exchange for the support of the Toyama clan, the Toyama family gave him a great help when Nobunaga captured Mino.

And then Takeda Shingen ordered Takeda Katsuyori to marry the daughter of Toyama Naoru, on the one hand, it was an alliance with the Oda family, and in fact, it was also eyeing the Toyama family of Higashimino.

Later, because the Toyama clan of Iwamura Castle had no children, Nobunaga passed his fifth son, Mibo Maru (i.e., Oda Katsunaga), to the Toyama family, as the adopted son of Toyama Renkei, and inherited the Toyama clan in the future.

At present, Nobunaga's son, Mibo Maru, has been sent to Kai by Akiyama Nobutomo as Shingen's hostage with the fall of Iwamura Castle.

As soon as Naolin Toyama died, the castle fell into the hands of Toyama Totadashi of the same clan, and the Takeda family took this as an excuse to intervene in the internal affairs of the Toyama family.

And now Toyama Tomotaka is the number two person of the Toyama family, if this person is willing to surrender, Akiyama Nobuyo can at least subdue most of the eighteen cities in Toyama in his name, otherwise if it is a city by city, I don't know what year and month I will have to wait.

With Akiyama Nobutomo's current strength, it is absolutely impossible to do so.

Akiyama Nobuyo's thinking is also considered to be old-fashioned, others listen to his nickname Takeda family's fierce bull, thinking that he is just a fierce general who kills on the battlefield, but in fact he is thoughtful, otherwise he would not marry the wife of Toyama Renjing, as a step to strengthen the relationship between Takeda Toyama, and enter the East Mino.

Just when Akiyama Nobuyo was thinking about how to persuade Akiyama Tomotaka to surrender, at this time, his adopted son Akiyama Masatsu came and said, "Father, Li Danma Shou sent Changheng to meet you. ”

"Li Xiao? Changheng? Akiyama Nobuyo was slightly surprised, he didn't have too deep a friendship with Li Xiao, since Shenglai became the concubine recognized by Shinxuan, he became the city lord of Gaoyuan City again.

At the Meikoku ramen restaurant in Joshita Town, Takato Castle, I just ate ramen a few more times. …,

As for the rest, the two only met a few times during the annual evaluation.

That's all there is to the relationship between the two.

As for his impression of Li Xiaozhi, it is neither good nor bad, Danshi feels that he is the last, and with his own strength, he has now become the commander of the army who controls the power of 400,000 stones, and his power ranks first among the retainers of the Takeda family.

And Akiyama Nobutomo has fought for the Takeda family for many years, has been born and died many times, and is only the commander of a hundred thousand stone-level legions.

Because of this, he was a little unconvinced by Li Xiao, and it was normal for Danshi Akiyama Nobuyo to have this thought.

In the Takeda family, however, there were many people who shared the same thoughts as the faithful.

When Danshi Akiyama Nobuyo heard that it was Tsuchiya Masatsune who came, he knew that this matter was not simple, because Tsuchiya Masatsune, his son Akiyama Masatsune, and another son, Akiyama Kyohisa, who served as the side leader of Takeda Katsuyori, were also the sons of Takeda Shuryu Kanamaru Kanamaru Kinarishi.

Later, Kanamaru Toyoshi took his sons to succeed Akiyama and Tsuchiya respectively.

Li Xiao sent Akiyama Masatsune's younger brother Tsuchiya Masahiro to meet him, his intention was obvious, it must be a relationship, and he definitely had something to ask for.

Nobuyo Akiyama understood this in an instant.

Akiyama Nobuyo Xiangdao here, smiled slightly, and said to Akiyama Chang: "Let him come to see me." ”

Guarding the three Akiyama Nobuyo's side, Tsuchiya Masatsune appeared very calm on the surface, even after learning that Akiyama Nobuyo had allowed him to meet in person, his face did not change much.

Danshi: Actually, Tsuchiya Masatsune is extremely nervous at the moment.

When the envoy came here to meet with Akiyama Nobuno, Li Xiao had already made the content of the mission very clear, and now Nobunaga was ready to gather the army of the Oda family, which had more than 20,000 troops, and marched into Kajida Castle.

With the current city defense of Kaji Tiancheng and Li Xiao's tired army, there is no power to stop Nobunaga's army.

And the strategic position of Kaji Tiancheng is very critical, and Li Xiao is not ready to give up.

Therefore, Li Xiao asked him to go and meet with Akiyama Nobuyo, Xiwang could get his support, and the other party could lead the Minami Shinano Army and rush to Kajida Castle to join the division, otherwise the situation of the Hida Echichu Army would be very dangerous.

Tsuchiya Masahiro suddenly understood that he had a heavy responsibility this time, and if he wanted him to kill people and capture the flag on weekdays, he would never frown, Danshi as a negotiation, he was not too sure.

After all, Akiyama Nobuyo, although Li Xiao both belong to Shingen, the two major armies of Danshi are not subordinate to each other, if it is directly reported to Shingen for ruling, the battle record has been lost, so he has to rely on his own ability to convince this brave and warlike Akiyama Nobuyo.
