In fact, since the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, the Takeda family has realized that the god of war Uesugi Kenshin is good at fighting. If you want to defeat the dragon of Echigo in the field, with the Kai tiger Takeda Shingen or the Sagamimi lion Hojo Yasuno, the two sides can only say that the victory is five or five.

Therefore, the Takeda family gave up the plan to completely defeat Uesugi Kenshin in a joint battle, and then take advantage of this great victory to wipe out Echigo in one fell swoop.

The Takeda family continued to adhere to the original strategic policy, aiming to attack Ueno and gradually encroach on Uesugi Kenshin's forces. Because Echigo covers the mountain with heavy snow for a third of the time every year, it is not easy for Uesugi Kenshin to use troops in this interval. In this way, the Takeda family and the Hojo family can take turns to send troops to the wilderness, and they don't have to be greedy, and it is enough to attack one or two cities each time, and withdraw their troops in case Uesugi Kenshin leads troops to rescue.

Let the god of war be tired on the way to come, but do not give the other party a chance to fight, and in this way, it is said that over time, Uesugi Kenshin's power in Ueno will gradually disappear.

In essence, since the first battle of Kawanakajima, Takeda Shingen has tried to avoid a decisive battle with Uesugi Kenshin through strategic strategy, and has occupied most of the northern Shinano step by step.

Therefore, in the military discussion, although it was heard that Uesugi Kenshin did not have many troops, no one thought of the plan to fight with Uesugi Kenshin under the command of Takeda Shingenwei.

Since the army was about to withdraw without preparing for war, the Takeda Army was currently arguing over the route of the withdrawal.

The route proposed by Kohata Kenshige was to borrow a road from the Hojo family, from Matsuyama Castle to the Hojo family's Netaniyaya Castle, and then enter Kai Toru-gun, and return to the Takeda family's home base of Tatsuzakikan. Toru Prefecture has the domain of the Takeda family retainer Nobushige Oyamada, and it is here that the Oyamada family can be picked up, and this route is undoubtedly the safest route.

However, what Taro Takeda Yoshinobu insisted on was to turn back the way he came, go north from Matsuyama Castle, pass through Ganraku County and Tahu County in Ueno Province, take the Shiraneyama Mountain Road, and return to Shinano.

This route is not a small risk, because Uesugi Kenshin has been rushing from Echigo to Ueno non-stop, and returning to Ueno from Musashi at this time is likely to encounter Uesugi Kenshin's army.

However, Yoshinobu Takeda has his own reasons for persisting, as last month's heavy rain caused a large avalanche on Mt. Fuji, which caused snow damage in the southern part of Kai Ichikoku, so the road was partially buried by snow, making it very difficult to walk.

In addition, according to the news I just got in the morning, I heard that Uesugi Kenshin had sent troops to Kanto again, and the Saito family, which was originally attached to the Takeda family, had changed its façade and was subordinate to the Uesugi family.

And the Ganle County that the Takeda family had just captured, and some local wealthy families in the wall grass of Tahu County also moved when they heard the wind, and once again saw the wind and the rudder fell to the side of the Uesugi family.

Therefore, according to Takeda Yoshinobu's intention, on the way back from Ganle County and Dohu County, the army can properly teach these local nobles, force them to write an oath and pledge, and hand over hostages to ensure the consolidation of the Takeda family's rule over Ganle County and Dohu County.

Yoshinobu Takeda's proposal was supported by Nobuaki Shibabe, a retainer of the lineage.

And Kohata Kenshige is still resolutely opposed, as a member of the Ueno country, he has dealt with Uesugi Kenshin many times, and he knows the power of this military god, so he refuses to take the risk of fighting with Uesugi Kenshin and goes to Ueno Country again.

But Yoshinobu Takeda was very resolute, and as the son of the Takeda family, he felt it necessary for him to establish his authority in the absence of his father.

In his eyes, the Kohata family, Sanada Nobutsuna's Sanada family, are all outsiders of the Takeda family, and they will belong to his retainers in the future, so their opinions are not to be worried.

And Takeda Katsuyori is his half-brother, although Katsuyori no longer has the word Takeda, but he still belongs to the Takeda family, and his status is higher than that of the outside, and the Shinano Suwa clan is also higher than the other two families. Therefore, whether Katsuyori Takeda supports his opinion is very important.

Although Takeda Katsuyori also longs to fight Uesugi Kenshin in his heart, he is not a person who does not understand consideration. Returning to the route of Nishi-Ueno was extremely dangerous, and if you were not careful, the 3,000-strong Takeda army would be buried here.

What's more, last night, Takeda Katsuyori had discussed with Kansuke Yamamoto and Li Xiaodu, and he felt that it was not easy to fight with Kenshin Uesugi at this moment.

A heroic lord like Hojo Shiyasu, with a brave general like Jihuang Hachiman, and an army of 16,000 Hojo clans around him, would rather choose to retreat than fight with Uesugi Kenshin. Perhaps others seem to be Hojo's cowardly and fearful move, but in essence, it seems that Hojo's Yasushi is a serious move.

What's more, who would dare to say that Hojo Shiyasu, who defeated the 80,000 Kwantung Coalition Army with 10,000 in the Battle of Kogoe, was a timid and fearful person.

From a military point of view, the conflict between the Hojo family and Uesugi Kenshin was unnecessary, and the result of the two families fighting each other could only be cheaply given to the Takeda family. Moreover, Matsuyama Castle is far away in Musashi, and it is far away from Harumiyama Castle, but for the Hojo family, it is a piece of meat on the side of the mouth, and it can be remobilized to attack at any time, so why bother with Uesugi Kenshin for the length of this time.

So Katsuyori Takeda made it clear to Yoshinobu Takeda that he objected to it. The reason is that although the road from Netanya Castle to Kai Toru County is difficult to walk, it is very safe, and it is impossible for Uesugi Kenshin to pursue it deep into the hinterland of the Takeda family.

Takeda Yoshinobu was very angry when he heard that Takeda Katsuyori actually dared to refute him.

Since the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, because he fought without authorization, he was involved in the fierce battle and killed the fierce generals Zhujiao Huding, and the headquarters also lost more than half. This matter Takeda Yoshinobu has already been severely reprimanded by Takeda Shingen. At this critical moment, it was rumored that Takeda Shingen wanted to abolish the heir and pass on the position of family governor to Takeda Katsuyori, who was going to inherit the Suwa family.

Although there is no shadow of this rumor, it is likely that it is a rumor that the hostile forces of the Takeda family are interested in watching the division within the Takeda family, and under the protection of the four ministers of Takeda, the Chuan Gong (Master) Iitomi Toramasa, and a series of Takeda genealogy retainers, Takeda Yoshinobu obtained Takeda Shingen's forgiveness and kept his throne.

But because of this incident, Takeda Shin Xuan Takeda Yoshinobu father and son have already given birth to an estrangement, so Takeda Yoshinobu is eager to establish his own military exploits in this Takeda family's Nishi Ueno strategy, so that his father's impression of himself has changed.

He was worried that if his father heard about it, Ganle County, which was so easy to fight, and Tahu County would be lost again, which would make Takeda Shingen disappointed in him again.

The current opposition to Takeda Katsuyori, coupled with the rumors that his father had established Takeda Katsuyori as his son-in-law, made Takeda Yoshinobu's attitude even more resolute. Therefore, there was a quarrel between the two sides of the military council. Yoshinobu Takeda has the support of Nobuaki Kibe, while Katsuyori Takeda has the support of Kenshige Kohata.

As for Sanada Nobutsuna, he chose to remain silent at this time, and in the end, the opinion of Kiso Yoshimasa became the key to the military discussion. Kiso Yoshimasa's wife is Takeda Shingen's third daughter, Marihime, said to be Takeda Yoshinobu, Takeda Katsuyori's two brothers-in-law, and they are not outsiders, and they are also regarded as a public status in the Takeda family.

Moreover, the Shinano Kiso family is a descendant of Kiso Yoshinaka, and it can be regarded as the queen of the famous family.

Kiso Yoshimasa hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to agree with Takeda Yoshinobu's opinion. Hearing this, Takeda Yoshinobu looked self-satisfied, obviously appreciating Kiso Yoshimasa's performance in understanding current affairs.

In the retainers, the result of the discussion was to return to Ueno Province, then take the Shirane Mountain Road, and return to Shinano.

After hearing this, General General Takeda Nobuyoshi nodded his head to accept this last opinion.
