Historically, the Oda family pursued speed when attacking the Asakura family, and they used methods similar to sneak attacks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info first Oda Nobunaga paralyzed the Asakura family in Kyoto, and then quickly entered Echizen, almost before the Asakura family did not react, the road to Echizen was opened.

But now, Oda Nobunaga did not do this, he first spread the crusade order against the Asakura family to the world, and at the same time sent someone to officially send the war letter to the Asakura family, without any intention of rushing at all.

However, this is also normal, after all, Oda Nobunaga had just taken Ise Province a year before the historical crusade against the Asakura family, and his rule in was not stable. There are not only the Miyoshi family, who have been plotting to counterattack, but also Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who has been completely opposed to it.

And now, the Oda family has been in Rakuro for several years, and with their strong military power, they have completely driven all hostile forces out of, and their comprehensive strength can be regarded as the highest in Japan. So why would he sneak around? As he said, he wanted to use this war to let the whole world know what kind of fate Oda Nobunaga would be if he resisted him.

When this news came out, the world shook, and countless melon-eating people were discussing how long it would take for the Oda family to defeat the Asakura family. Well, no one seems to be optimistic about the Asakura family~ But this is also normal, after all, whether it is economic, demographic, or military, the Asakura family is not the opponent of the Oda family.

For some, though, the matter doesn't get much attention.

The city of the governor of the Western Zhou Defense State.

Mori Yuan stood on the observation deck overlooking the other side of the sea, and on the side, there was a map of Kyushu with many lines and signs drawn on it, and it was obvious that Mori Yuan had been studying this map for a long, long time.

Just when Oda Nobunaga summoned many forces in, Mori Moto was not idle. He first inherited the Kono family through the son of Kurishima Tsuyasu, and completely controlled the strongest power in Iyo Province, and then co-opted another force in Iyo Province, the Saionji family, and at the same time contacted the family governor of the Ryuzoji family, Takanobu Ryuzoji, and many forces in Chikuzen. And not so long ago, having completed the layout, he gave the order to attack Kyushu.

Sixty thousand troops from the seven kingdoms of Izumo, Bingo, Yasu, Iwami, Shubo, Nagato, and Iyo were assembled, and except for a few troops left behind in the territory, only Hakuki and Bichu did not recruit any troops to defend against the Yamana family and the Urakami family in the east. If it weren't for the fact that Oda Nobunaga issued an order for the crusade and began to mobilize troops at about the same time, the Mori family's move would have shocked the world.

However, although almost all of the side was watching the actions of the Oda family, it was obvious that the Otomo family who was attacked could not be described as shocked.

Now, 60,000 troops had landed in Kyushu through the Kanmon Strait, and the two sons of Mori Motosa, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei, were respectively in charge, and in less than a day's effort, they captured Sangaku Castle and headed straight for Hakata. At the same time, Akizuki Taneshi and Takahashi Kan, who had surrendered last year due to the attack of the Otomo family, rebelled again, and the Hizen Ryuzoji family also commanded many wealthy clans in Hizen to send troops totaling 10,000 people to attack Chikugo. And in this form, the outpost of the Otomo family in Hizen, and the governor of the Tsukushi family, who was originally forced to surrender, immediately rebelled to the side of the Maori army.

For a while, the entire Kyushu was shaken, especially the wealthy families of Chikuzen and Bunzen, who were originally subordinate to the Ouchi family, began to quickly judge the strength of the Otomo and Mori families in their hearts, so as to make a choice as soon as possible. But for the Otomo family, there is no choice.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he immediately gathered a total of 30,000 people from the four countries of Bunzen, Bungo, Chikugo, and Higo, who had not yet fallen into the flames of war, and invited 5,000 reinforcements from Higo's ally, the Aso family, and went straight to Hakata.

It's just that all of this seems to have nothing to do with the Maori Yuan. He has done everything he can, and the only thing he can do now is to wait for news from the front and believe in his two sons. For the first time, Mao Liyuan hated himself for being born early, "If I can be 20 years younger...... Mao Liyuan thought to himself.

However, not long after this thought surfaced, it was dispelled by him, "It seems that it is really old, and even such a boring thought will come out." Mao Liyuan sighed softly.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and soon I saw Anguo Temple Huiqiong hurriedly walking in.

"It's Huiqiong, I've worked hard all the way, how are things?" Mao Liyuan turned around and sat down, made a gesture to Huiqiong of Anguoji Temple, and then asked with a chuckle.

"All went well, the Takeda family had united the Satake and Satomi families, and they invited Uesugi Kenshin to fight against the Hojo family, and they sent troops to Suruga. In, Miyoshi, Honganji, Asakura, Asai, and Akai and Hatano in Tanba have also visited their subordinates. Anguo Temple Huiqiong said in a deep voice.

Listening carefully to Anguoji Huiqiong's report, Mao Liyuan did not miss every detail, and after half a ring, Maori Yuan laughed softly, "In this way, it depends on whether Takeda Shingen really lives up to his name." ”

Although this plan was planned by the Mori Yuan, what made him very helpless was that the Mori family and the Oda family did not have any border at this time. In this way, only Honganji Temple and the Takeda family can be the main force. But if the Takeda family doesn't take Suruga quickly, I'm afraid that Honganji won't raise the flag. And if Honganji Temple does not move, I am afraid that Miyoshi, Akai and other forces will not act.

"It's really unthinkable, the little wealthy family of Owari yesterday has become such a powerful force today...... "Mao Liyuan thought, shaking his head slightly and sighing. Well, when people get old, they inevitably like to sigh.

On the other side, after learning that the Oda family had issued a crusade against the Asakura family in the name of the shogun, and at the same time officially declared war on the Asakura family, Takeda Shingen immediately ordered a general mobilization.

"This battle! Be sure to wash away the shame of your family! Takeda Shingen said to his retainers.

At the same time, he again sent envoys to the three houses of Uesugi, Satomi, and Satake to make a final confirmation. Because of this battle, he and the Takeda family really couldn't afford to lose. If Suruga can't be won yet, then in Takeda Shingen's view, the Takeda family will completely lose the opportunity to dominate the world.

Naturally, the movements on Kai's side could not be concealed from the Imagawa family, so the Imagawa clan quickly ordered a mobilization to strengthen the armament defense, and at the same time sent people to the Hojo family for help.

"My lord, the situation doesn't seem to be good, the news from the Hojo family, the Kanto heroes led by Satomi and Satake are all armed, so although His Royal Highness Hojo wants to support the family, he is powerless." The pelican hall chief said in a deep voice.

"Hmm......" Imagawa nodded his head, "In that case, then we can only rely on ourselves!" Hopefully, I can carry it this time! Imagawa sighed helplessly. Eight years have passed since the Battle of Tsubakusama, and it stands to reason that the Imagawa family should not be much worse if they have not fully recovered their original power.

Strictly speaking, it is true, and now the Imagawa family is infinitely close to Imagawa Yoshimoto before Kamiro in terms of economy and other aspects. But the strength of a force obviously cannot be calculated in this way. Although the economy is good, the Imagawa clan's dominance over the Imagawa family is not as strong as his father's, Suruga is fine, and there are quite a lot of unconvinced forces on the Toe side. And the most important thing is that in the battle of Barrel Sasa, most of the famous generals of the Imagawa family were killed, which is not something that can be replenished in just eight years.

Imagawa doesn't seem to be too worried? Hawkers, this is also normal, after all, the Hojo family and the Kanto group have been fighting for decades, which time have they been defeated? In his heart, as long as he can resist the Takeda family for a while, the Hojo family will naturally be able to free up their hands to support him. Because the Hojo family also knows very well how dangerous his situation will be once the Takeda family takes Suruga.

Although it seems that the Takeda family is preparing for Kamiraku, what if they turn around and continue to unite with many daimyo in the Kanto region to attack Hojo? The Uesugi family? Hawkers,Whether it's the Hojo clan Yasu or the Hojo clan,,I never think the Uesugi family is how credible。

Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

"Pass my order to the Qili presiding officer, so that he can immediately strengthen his control over the believers of this sect, and control the believers, so that they will not make trouble for the Asakura family during this time." Honganji Xianru said lightly.

Throughout the beginning of April, the east wind in the western country,, and Seki was surging, and all people of insight understood that the world was about to change greatly. But none of this matters matter to the Asakura family, because at this time, the Asakura family is going crazy to increase troops to the front.

"Send someone to tell Jingji that even if they die, they must guard the gateway to Echizen for me!" Asakura Yoshikage said again.

The so-called gateway to Echizen was the target of the three cities of Tsuruga, Tetsuyama, and Kanegasaki, and it was also officially the target of Oda Nobunaga's first attack. If these three castles were not breached, it would have been impossible for the Oda family to attack Echigo.

"Yes!"

"Jinglong, appoint you as the general of this battle, remember! If the three castles of Tsuruga can't be defended, then retreat to Koya Pass Castle immediately! There must be no loss there! Asakura Yoshikei said again.

If Kanesaki Mijo is the gateway to Echizen, then Kiya Pass is Echizen's last line of defense. Because as long as they crossed the Kiya Pass, then the Oda army could attack any part of Echizen at will. Although Asakura Yoshikei didn't know much about military affairs, he also knew that the Oda family definitely had more troops than his own family. At that time, if the Oda army really attacked from all sides, the Asakura family would not have the strength to block the Oda family's attack.

"Please rest assured!" Asakura Jinglong didn't say much, but answered in a deep voice.

"Jingjing! This time, Ono County will mobilize at least 5,000 people! Asakura Yoshikage turned his head and said in a deep voice to Asakura Jingjing.

"This ......" Asakura Jingjing looked at Asakura Yoshijing in surprise when he heard this, 5000, this is almost the limit mobilization number of Ono County.

It's just that just when he was trying to find some reason, he heard Asakura Yoshikage's voice full of coldness, "This battle! No one is allowed to hold back the family! It doesn't matter who it is! ”

In one sentence, he held back all the words that Asakura Jingjing wanted to say. After all, Asakura Yoshikei had already said so, what else could he say? And Asakura Jingjing can also hear it, this time, Asakura Yoshijing is really planning to work hard.

But it's no wonder, after all, the Oda family is playing so formally this time, it can't just lead the army over and go around. As long as they lose, being able to submit is the best result for the Asakura family.

In, countless troops continued to gather in Kyoto, and with the system of reserve military service, the speed at which the Oda family mobilized troops was definitely the highest in the world, but in just a few days, 20,000 troops had been assembled, and countless troops were on the way. And the retainers of the Oda family are all gearing up, waiting for the arrival of the big war.

Of course, not all places in are so busy, and the Asai family in Omi Ehoku will be as calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if the war between the Oda family and the Asakura family had nothing to do with it.

However, this is only the surface, in fact, within the Asai family, a very serious disagreement is constantly intensifying, and the two sides of the disagreement are none other than the official Asai Nagamasa, the governor of the Asai family and the trifector of Hai Chiyu.

And the thing that caused their disagreement was the war between the Oda family and the Asakura family. Asai Nagamasa chooses to support the Oda family, while Mietomi Umi believes that the Asakura family is the true ally of the Asai family. In their mouths, if the Asai family sits idly by and watches the Asakura family perish, then the next one to perish will definitely be the Asai family.

It's just that Asai Nagamasa is trying his best to refute this argument, because in his opinion, the Oda family is bringing peace to this world, and when peace comes, whether they want it or not, all forces will definitely surrender to the Oda family.

It's a pity that there are too few retainers who support Asai Nagamasa, even Naokyo Endo, who he regards as his right-hand man, is on the side of Hai Chiyu. This made Asai Nagamasa, who was already scattered because of the collegial system, gradually unable to suppress these retainers.

If Asai Nagamasa is Oda Nobunaga's character, I'm afraid that at this time, he will definitely kill and kill these important ministers who oppose him in one fell swoop. Even if he can't do it himself, there is still Oda Nobunaga's brother~ I believe that if Asai Nagamasa does this, Oda Nobunaga will definitely help him, and even give the Asai family a big fief after the incident. It's just a pity that he is not Oda Nobunaga, but Asai Nagamasa.

"Well, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the family will be on the road to destruction......" Asai Nagamasa sighed as he lay on the dog's lap.

"No matter what decision Your Highness makes, Ah Dog will support you!" A dog stroked Asai Nagamasa's hair and said softly.

"Hope...... Elder brother can defeat the Asakura family as soon as possible......" Asai Nagamasa muttered to himself. The only thing he could do now was stall.
