Chapter 331: Shin Xuan's counterattack

Twelfth year of Yonglu, June.

Higasaki Pavilion.

Takeda Shingen was standing with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy face on the side of the stacked table, while sitting on the side of the lower head was his wife, Mrs. Sanjo.

Right now, Mrs. Sanjo is bowing her head slightly, wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief.

Mrs. Sanjo's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was sad, but it seemed to be extremely numb.

Mrs. Sanjo glanced at Takeda Shingen deeply, sighed resentfully, and then stood up, pinched the corners of the Wu suit with both hands, and half-turned around and slowly left.

Even in the most sad and angry moments, the princess's daughter should have the bearing that she should have, and she did not make unreasonable trouble, nor did she let outsiders easily see her sadness.

Seeing Mrs. Sanjo and several of his maids who had been following him since coming from Kyoto leaving, Takeda Shingen's lips moved slightly, but he did not speak.

"Is there any cure for the little girl's illness?"

Shingen Takeda turned around, and then asked again in a deep voice.

Nagata Tokumoto, a famous physician known as 'Koshu Tokumoto', said: "Returning to the Imperial Palace, the villain has indeed done his best, and the illness of love has arisen because of worry, and now he is entangled in his heart, which is really not a good medicine. Please forgive the sins, the villain has done his best. ”

Takeda Shingen took a deep breath and said, "I know, it's hard work." Go get your medical money. ”

"Oh, the villain has not completed his duty, and he does not dare to receive it."

In this regard, Takeda Shingen just waved his hand in the mood.

After Tokumoto Nagata left, Shingen Takeda took a few steps between the rooms, and his face was fierce.

Immediately, Takeda Shingen took a few big steps, drew his katana from the knife holder, turned around, and slashed the shoulder rest with a heavy slash.

The side of the inner room heard the noise outside the room and ran out together, but when they saw that Takeda Shingen was fine, they immediately took a complaint and retreated.

Takeda Shingen looked at the shoulder rest that was cut in two by the knife, and shouted angrily: "Hojo Shiyasu!"

Takeda Shingen and Mrs. Sanjo's eldest daughter, Huangmeiin, married the sister-in-law of the Hojo clan Yasuyuki due to the agreement of the Triple Alliance, and is currently the head of the Hojo clan.

Takeda Shingen is very fond of his eldest daughter, when he married the Hojo family, he greeted and sent off Koyamada Shinshige as the wedding envoy, and the entourage of the wedding alone sent more than 10,000 people, and its pomp and circumstance can be called unprecedented in the Takeda family.

After Huangmeiin married into the Hojo family, Wenzhi's beloved daughter became pregnant.

On several occasions, Takeda Shingen personally wrote a prayer to the Asama Shrine, the god of safety, Fuji Gomuro, to pray for the safety of Huangmei-in.

After the marriage of Huangmeiyuan, the relationship between the Hojo clan and the government was also very harmonious, and he successively gave birth to the Hojo clan (the future head of the Hojo family for five generations), and later the clan house, Naoshige, and Naoding.

However, due to the breaking of the Triple Alliance this time, the Hojo Takeda family went to war.

The Hojo clan ordered his son, the Hojo clan, to divorce Huangmeiin.

Although the Hojo clan is the head of the family, he does not dare to disobey his father, who actually holds the power, and can only tearfully send Huangmeiin back to Kai.

After returning to Jiafei, Huangmei Yuan immediately became a nun, but he missed Sagami's husband and son day and night, and finally became ill and terminally ill.

(Historically, Huangmei Yuan was the twelfth year of Yonglu, and died of illness on June 17 at the age of 27)

At present, Nagata Tokumoto has asserted to Takeda Shingen that Huangmeiin is on the verge of dying, and there are only a few days to live, and Mrs. Sanjo just lost her eldest son Yoshinobu last year, and this year her eldest daughter Huangmeiin died of illness.

Takeda Shingen also knew that he owed a lot to Mrs. Sanjo, as well as the eldest son and eldest daughter, and he was also guilty.

And now he puts all his anger on the culprit who killed his daughter, Hojo Shiyasu.

"Immediately let Baba, Naito, and Katsuri come to see me." Takeda Shingen said categorically to the little surname.

After walking to the main hall, Takeda Shingen's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he sat on the main seat, and the three of Baba, Naito, and Katsuyori had all arrived.

Takeda Shingen said in a deep voice: "It has been a month since we returned from the Imagawa family, and the Hojo family stole our strategy for Suruga, and on the contrary, in Enoe, Suruga garrisoned. How can I give up the territory I have worked so hard to give up to Shi Kang. So I decided to send troops again and fight the Hojo family. ”

After hearing this, Baba Shinbo said: "My lord, before the Hojo clan retreated back to Sagami, he had already arranged in the Imagawa family's territory, and there were heavy troops in Suruga and Enoe, and if we attack these two places, our army may have a hard battle. ”

Takeda Katsuyori said: "Father, right now, Uesugi Teruhu has gathered 20,000 troops and stormed Yuezhong. The front line of Yuezhong is tight, with Li Xiao's current strength, it is absolutely impossible to support it, whether we first reinforce Yuezhong, force back the Uesugi army, and then return to clean up the Hojo family. ”,

"No," said Takeda Shingen flatly, "I admit that Vietnam and China are very important to our family, but they are far inferior to Suruga and Yuanjiang. Li Xiao's battle in Yuezhong just happened to contain the Uesugi army, and the strategic goal of his family is Tokaido, which is absolutely not easy."

Hearing Takeda Shingen say this, Takeda Katsuyori could only agree.

Takeda Shingen turned to look at the Baba Shinbo and said, "I have a plan for the attack on the Hojo family, doesn't Shiyasu want to occupy Suruga and Enoe?" I'll give it to him. His army is stationed outside, and the mainland must be empty, so this time I will go directly to the Mt. Fuji mountain road and attack Izu, Sagami country, the Hojo family's skills, if the Hojo clan Yasu does not transfer the troops of Suruga back to help, then I will take Odawara in one breath."

Takeda Shingen said this, and the three of Baba, Naito, and Katsuyori looked at each other for a while.

Racecourse Shinfang showed admiration, and said in advance: "My lord, whether this plan can succeed or not, my subordinates don't know, but it will definitely catch Hojo Shiyasu off guard." The Hojo family is in trouble. ”

Takeda Shingen nodded slowly, and said, "Hojo Shiyasu would never have expected it, and we also have an advantage, which is the location of Kai. Kai is the place where my Takeda family started, and after I mobilized my troops in the main building, after I went abroad, Suruga, Enoe, Izu, and any other country in Sagami were all under the front of my Shingen's troops, and they were at my fingertips. In this way, Hojo Shiyasu could not guess the movement of our army in advance, and made arrangements in advance. ”

"The strategy of the Uesugi family is different, from the Ashigasakikan to Kawanakajima, it takes a long time, and the turnover of grain and grass is inconvenient, so it is easy to become a tired soldier. My Takeda family is not the Oda family, and unless I have the courage of Nobunaga to bring the castle from Kai to Shinano and shorten the attack distance, it will be quite unfavorable for Kai to mobilize to fight in the north. That's why, this time I'm focused on attacking Tokaido, the Imagawa family was too strong to start, but now it's vulnerable, and it's become a place for me to take advantage of. ”

After listening to Takeda Shingen's analysis, the three of them all nodded.

In the same way, if you want Shin Xuan to reinforce Vietnam, the distance is long and the turnover is inconvenient, which is indeed disadvantageous. Moreover, even Xinxuan himself did not expect that Li Xiao alone would be able to gain a firm foothold in Yuezhong without any help from his family.

Viet China is too far away from Kai for the Takeda family's grand strategy, and it is only used as a containment of the Uesugi family.

On the other hand, it was much more convenient to attack Tokaido, and the Takeda family could mobilize forces from Kai on the spot, and then Shingen went directly out from the Uzakikan, and Toe, Suruga, Sagami, and Izu Shikoku were also under the Takeda family's troops.

After Xinxuan's analysis, the three of them were convinced, and immediately discussed the matter of attacking the Hojo family.

At this time, a report from outside the door said: "Report to the lord, Lord Li Xiao, send someone from Vietnam to deliver an urgent letter." ”

"Oh? It's Li Xiao. Takeda Shinxuan frowned, obviously he had just talked about him, and now Li Xiao sent someone to deliver an urgent letter.

After hearing the arrival of Li Xiao's messenger, the chief of the horse farm shone and said: "Now that Yuezhong is being attacked by the Uesugi family, Li Xiao must be unable to fight against Echigo, he should send a letter to ask for help from his family." ”

After hearing the words of the Baba Nobubo, Katsuyori and Naito both nodded, and they both had the same opinion as the Baba Nobubo.

But for Li Xiao's request for help, Fang Cai Takeda Shingen has made it very clear, the Takeda family is currently focused on the Tokaido strategy, and he is simply unable to support Li Xiao who is far away in Vietnam.

These three people are friends with Li Xiao, and they can't help but worry about Li Xiao at the moment.

At this time, Naito Masaho said loudly: "Maybe you don't need to send troops to Echichu, you can order Takasaka and Asari to lead the North Shinano and Nishi-Ueno Corps to put pressure on Echigo, so that Li Xiao's crisis in Echichu can be solved to some extent." ”

Takeda Shingen was silent about this, and just let the messenger Li Xiao come in.

Immediately, Li Xiao's messenger presented Li Xiao's letter to Takeda Shingen.

After Takeda Shingen drew the letter, he looked at it at a glance, and the three people present all looked worried, and at the same time wanted to know how the war between Vietnam and China was going now.

After reading the letter, Takeda Shingen put the letter paper in his hand and closed it, crossed his knees and closed his eyes and pondered for a while, his fingers on his knees and slowly flicked, but a smile appeared on his face.

The three of them didn't understand the meaning of Takeda Shingen's smile, and they speculated even more.

At this time, Takeda Xinxuan opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's really worthy of Li Xiao, it's really rare to be able to find another way to do things, I Xinxuan didn't see the wrong person." ”,

Speaking of this, Takeda Shingen looked at the messenger and said, "Go back and report to your lord, say that the matter on the letter, I will handle it for him, and let him support him for at least another three months, and defend Vietnam for my Takeda family." ”

"Oh" the messenger bowed down and then withdrew.

And the three of Baba, Naito, and Katsuyori are even more curious about what Li Xiao wrote to Shin Xuan.

In the twelfth year of Yonglu, June 2.

Takeda Shingen went out from the Heshisakikan and led an army of 18,000 to attack Suruga for the second time.

The Takeda family's army came out of Gotemba next to Mt. Fuji and entered Suruga before turning back into Izu Province.

Under the personal leadership of Takeda Shingen, the army of the Takeda family took the lead in conquering Omiyagi Castle, which had been defeated twice before.

After that, the Takeda army attacked like fire, conquering the fifteen castles of the Hojo family all the way, and defeated the Hojo clan, the fourth son of the Hojo clan, at Nirayama Castle.

The entire Izu country was swept away under the offensive of Takeda Shingen for a while.

And the Hojo family heard that Takeda Shingen did not go to Suruga, but instead entered the Hojo family's skills, which shocked for a while.

Hojo Clan Yasu hurriedly assembled his troops from Odawara and prepared to fight to the death in Shingen.

At the same time, the war between Vietnam and China was about to break out.
