Chapter 487: Dan Bō Situation

"Why was Seyama Castle attacked?"

In the castle tower of Kuniyoshi Castle in Wakasa Province, Masatei said in surprise. [Updated]

Wakasa guarded Takeda Motomei, and there were four great ministers, and compared to the four ministers of Takeda in Kai, they were also known as the four elders of Takeda.

They are Masatsune Yoshimi, Tomoyoshi Muto, Katsuhisa Awaya, and Masahide Yamayama.

Compared with the loyal four ministers of Takeda, the contribution of the four elders of Takeda to the family can only be said to be the ministers of the world.

If it weren't for these four people, Wakasa Takeda would not have declined to this point, causing even the family governor to be looted by the Asakura family.

After the Wakasa country was owned by the Oda family, except for Muto Tomoyoshi who was banished from Wakasa by Nobunaga at both ends of the snake and rat, the other three elders all returned to the Oda family and were assigned to Niwa Nagahide's subordinates, becoming Yoritsu.

In the previous Battle of Nagashino, Niwa Nagahide and Awaya Katsuhisa were killed by Li Xiao's army, and Takeda Motoaki was also captured by Li Xiao.

So in Wakasa Province, among the four elders of Takeda, only Masashi Yoshimi remained, and Masahide Yamayama was able to speak.

By the time Niwa Nagahide died, they had become Shibata Katsuie's match.

Hearing that Goseyama Castle was attacked, Masakane Itami's first reaction was the Ichisè family of Tango, who had a feud with Takeda Wakasa.

The Ichisè family is one of the four positions of the shogunate, it is Mikawa, Wakasa, and the guardian daimyo of the Three Kingdoms of Tango, and after the head of the family, Ichi Sè Yoshikani was killed by Ashikaga Yoshitsu Takeda Nobuyei, the family business plummeted, and Mikawa and Wakasa were lost.

After that, the Isse family revived, and the Isse and Takeda families have been surrounding the Tango guardian and fighting endlessly.

In the làn of Ying Ren, this by Hosokawa Katsumoto, Yamana Soquan two bad old men, caused a fierce fight in the whole of Japan, a sè family stood in the Western Army, and the Eastern Army's Wakasa Takeda family, the two old enemies are a big fight

Yimi Changjing frowned slightly, and said: "It's impossible, the Bō Tano family, the Naito family, and the Ichisè family of Tango are being attacked by the army of the only Hinata Mamoru . How could the Ichi family have the spare strength to attack Wakasa, is it a sè righteous way, I don't want to live, dare to provoke my Oda family. ”

"It's not a sè family, it's a Takeda family!" The messenger hurriedly explained.

"Which Takeda? An Yun's family? The joke has long been extinguished by the Máo family, is it? ”

Yi saw that Changjing was taken aback, looked at the map, pointed to a large area of red sè forces in the direction of Hokuriku above, slapped a big tǐ, and said: "By the way, it's Kai Takeda's Hida Echichu Legion!" I didn't expect that Shibata Shushu would lead an army of 35,000 out of Kaga, and his commander-in-chief would send a naval army to bypass Kaga and attack the rear of our army in order to interfere with the determination of the army at the front. ”

"That's exactly what you do, Shoube-sama, so is what you deduce. At present, the Ninomaru and Outer Maru of Goseyama Castle have fallen, and there are less than fifty samurai and one hundred ashigaru around Shoube-sama, and now they are retreating to Honmaru to defend it, please send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

The messenger almost burst into tears, and pleaded with Yi Jianchang.

Seeing that Changjing was in the castle tower, he walked around anxiously, pondered for a while, and said, "This is very difficult! ”

The envoy said: "Please don't worry, Lord Yimi, although the Takeda army is powerful, but under the Goseyama Castle, they are all naval troops, they are not good at land warfare, as long as the lord's army is mighty, it will definitely succeed." ”

Hearing this envoy's pleading, Yi saw that Changjing God moved, but then shook his head and said: "No, although the Takeda Army's naval army is not worthy of land warfare, it has at least more than 2,000 troops, not to mention that there is an old guy Muto Yuyi who is there to preside, this person is a brave general of my Wakasa country, how can he just be affected by Takeda Yuanming, the waste family governor." ”…,

"Now that the main forces of my Wakakusa people have been requisitioned and transferred by Lord Shibata, and they are all on the Kaga front now, even if I issue a mobilization order, I can gather only three or five hundred Ashigaru, as well as fifty samurai."

"It would be nice if the Yama Prefecture Lord was here, but it's a pity that he led the army to Kaga, and I really can't support it alone! It seems that this Tase mountain castle will not be able to be saved. Ay! ”

Yi Jian Changjing sighed and said.

"But my lord!"

Yi Jian Changjing waved his hand and said: "However, what I will do my best is that I understand that Tase Mountain Castle is the key point of Wakasa Country, and if the Takeda Army takes the opportunity to disturb it, it will inevitably affect the overall situation." ”

"So now I have to ask Shibata to repair and return from the front line, but now Lord Shibata is facing off against Takeda and the main force of the Sect, and if you want to retreat, you will inevitably be hit hard by the enemy! I don't know if Shibata-sama will make this decision, but it's really worrying. But you have to report it first. ”

The envoy said: "But the main hall is in Kaga, even if you return to Wakasa, it is too far away, and the far water cannot dissolve the near fire, and if the Takeda army rises up during this period, it will inevitably endanger Wakasa." ”

Hearing this, Yi Jian Changjing smiled slightly, and said: "In addition to asking Shibata to repair and return, there is actually another way to try." ”

When the envoy heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is the way to dare to ask Lord Yijian?" ”

Yi Mi Changjing said: "You have forgotten, but the Army of Ren Hinata Mamoru is attacking the Bō Tano family in Tango Province, and its Nagaoka military department (i.e., Hosokawa Fujitaka, now known as Nagaoka Fujitaka) is close to Wakasa, so we just need to ask Hinata Mamoru to help him send the army of Lord Nagaoka to aid Wakasa." ”

The messenger heard the words of great joy and said, "That's right, Lord Yijian, it is wise!" ”

Yi Jian Changjing smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "I have an old relationship with Ren Hinata Shou, I will write a letter to him, and at the same time report the matter of this place to Lord Shibata, you can rest assured, if I Yi Jian Changjing is here, it will not be a big deal!" ”

Hearing what Yi saw Changjing say, the messenger was suddenly full of confidence.

However, at this moment, a samurai hurriedly broke into the castle tower and reported to Itami Masakatsuri, "Lord Izumi, it's not good, the Takeda army has broken through Taseyama Castle, and the lord has been martyred. ”

After hearing this, Yi Jian Changjing only felt that his steps were unsteady, and the whole person took a step back, then calmed down and shouted: "Ún account, didn't you say, Lord Jianbu, are you still holding on to Honmaru?" How so. ”

The samurai wept and said, "Report to your lord, the Takeda family's navy, unloaded the large cylinder from the ship and directly took it to attack the Honmaru, but the big mén was broken and the Takeda army swarmed in." After the lord beheaded nine people in a row, he was finally outnumbered and was captured by the Takeda army. Now the head is hung on the top of the city, and under the order of the lord, he escaped at the risk of death and came to report to the lord, otherwise he will be martyred. ”

After hearing this, Yi Jian Changjing sighed and said, "Lord Kenbe, you are really a brave man of the Oda family, you are really like a cherry blossom, so you know to retreat." I will give Shibata to repair, but let Hinata Mamoru and the two adults let them avenge your lord. ”

"This revenge cannot be avenged!"

In the sixth year of Tensho, in August, Dan bō country.

As the starting point of the mountain, Dan bō Province is also the entrance to the northwest of Kyoto, and it has always been an important place for military families.

As can be seen from the map, Dan Bō Province, Tango Kingdom, and Wakasa Kingdom are in the shape of an inverted ping, and the three-legged stand is located in the northern part of Gyeonggi.

Since entering the Muromachi Shogunate, the Dan bō country has been under the jurisdiction of the Hosokawa family, and the current guardian of the Dan bō country is Hosokawa Nobuna, the head of the Keizhao Hosokawa family, who married Nobunaga's sister.

However, at present, the actual control of the Dan Bō Kingdom is not in the hands of the Hosokawa family, but in the hands of the Naito family and the county generation Bō Tano family. …,

And now, the army of Akechi Mitsuhide, in the name of protecting Hosokawa Nobuya, dispatched a large army and began to storm the Bō Tanoya.

After the third year of Tensho, Akechi Mitsuhide made a temporary peace with Honganji Temple in the name of the imperial court, and began to attack the province of Danbō north of, and the war has been going on for two years.

As the largest force in Tango Province, the Bō Tano family struggled to support the attack of two generals under Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Nobuyo, who commanded the Settsu country, and Hosokawa Fujitaka.

In the sixth year of Tensho, Akechi Mitsuhide led the main force out of the Tango Province and surrounded the main castle of the Bō Tano family.

For a moment, the Bō Tano family was in danger.

And the Naito family, who were also the great forces of Dan Bō Country, also felt precarious at this time.

Yagi Castle is located in the central part of Tango Province, near the Wakasa Country side.

This castle is the home of the Naito family.

Inside the castle tower, a samurai dressed in gillishitan is making a cross in front of the xiōng and praying sincerely.

"Lord Almighty, please tell me how you can help my Naito family survive this calamity!"

After half a ring, someone said, "My lord, Lord Araki of the Bō Tano family asks to see you!" ”

The samurai opened his eyes, lightly lowered the cross in front of Xiōng, and said to Mén, "Please come in, Lord Araki!" ”

Sumeru, a burly and well-dressed samurai, stepped into the room, and when he saw this Kichishitan samurai, he knelt down with a puff and said, "I beg Naito Hida Mamoru to beg us to bō Tanoya!" ”

This is called Naito Hida Mamoru, the head of the Naito family, and it is none other than the historical Gichishitan daimyo Naito Ruan, who is the match of Konishi Yuki, with whom he embraces Catholicism.

The one who came to plead was also the general of the Bō Tano family, Araki Tsuna, who had a slight set of tactics and repelled the Hosokawa family's army many times during the two years of war with the Oda family.

After Naito Ruan heard this, he sighed and said: "I already knew the situation of the Bō Tano family, but Ren Hinata Mamoru is one of the most famous generals in the world, with him personally in charge, and the Oda family army assisted, I am afraid that I will fight with the full strength of the Naito family, and I am not an opponent!" ”

Listening to the words of the Araki clan, Naito Ruan said: "Do you think I am entangled, and the Naito family and the Bō Tano family have been hated for many years? Wrong, the truth of cún's death and coldness is well known, after Nobunaga's absence, the four major armies of the Oda family fought separately and attacked on all sides, and Akechi Mitsuhide's intention to annex the Tango country and include it in the direct leadership and expand the ambition of power is well known. ”

"In this case, how could I not do my best! But I'm just afraid that the mantis arm will be used as a car. ”

Araki Tsunade said, "It turns out that Lord Naito is beware of the lack of power, so we can unite with the Tango family and stand together." ”

Naito Ruan pinched the cross in his hand and said with a wry smile: "What is the power of the Ichisè family, you and I both know, back then, just one Wakasa Takeda cleaned up his subordinates, do you still expect him to resist the army of the Oda family?" ”

Hearing this, the Araki clan was anxious and angry, and said, "Hearing Naito Hida say this, is there no other way to watch the Oda family annex my Dan bō country?" ”

Naito Ruan said: "It's not all out of the question, I heard that yesterday the Takeda Hida Army captured Wakasa's Tase Mountain Castle, maybe this will be a way for us to survive." ”
