Chapter 499: Distant Friendship and Close Attack
Li Xiao proposed to attack the Tokugawa family first, and first attack the Tokaido Road one of the three attacks, which caused the retainers to ponder.
At this time, Koyamada Nobushige opened his mouth and questioned Li Xiao, and said: "Yagata Gong, at present, Tokaido is not only Tokugawa Ieyasu 1st Road, but also the 10,000 troops of the Oda family's Ise Army, which can not be easily defeated. ”
At this time, the elder of the Takeda family and another son-in-law of Shingen, Kiso Yoshimasa, said: "The Shinano family has been in business for many years, and if the Uesugi family is suddenly allowed to invade, the loss will be great, even if the Tokugawa family is captured, the price will be heavy in exchange for Shinano with a Mikawa, so this opinion is definitely not advisable." ”
Li Xiao looked at Kiso Yoshimasa, this person had been estranged from him, but since Li Xiao became the elder of the family, he had not seen him oppose his opinion.
Then Kiso Yoshimasa's words are that stance determines thinking.
The Kiso Valley, where Kiso Yoshimasa is located, is Shinano's territory, so his interests are the interests of Shinano's local wealthy families.
If Uesugi Kenshin invaded Shinano, it would undoubtedly damage the interests of the Kiso family, so he objected.
After Kiso Yoshimasa spoke, many Shinano generals present also expressed their opposition, feeling that Li Xiao could not introduce the war into Shinano.
Kiso Yoshimasa continued: "Based on the current situation, Oda Nobutada's battle against Southern Shinano and Uesugi Kenshin against Northern Shinano will be too great if they want to resist attacks from both the west and the north with the strength of Shinano as a country, and I am afraid that it will be a collapse situation. ”
"If the Tokugawa family resists to the end and our army's attack is frustrated, then Mikawa will not be able to capture it and Shinano will also be lost, then I am afraid that the family will collapse early."
Li Xiao nodded and said, "What Lord Kiso said makes sense, but if Your Excellency thinks that the only way to do this is to attack Mikawa, then you are wrong. There are many things we can do besides marching into Mikawa. ”
Takeda Nobuyhiro listened and nodded. He said, "Please also ask Yagata to speak up." ”
Li Xiao nodded and said, "Everyone, go to the army to fight, then to fight, then to attack the army, and attack the city." ”
"In the case of Oda, Tokugawa, Uesugi three families attacking together. For the Uesugi family. The family is to defend and contain, and let it siege the city. ”
"Against Tokugawa, the family is strong, so the main force goes to battle head-on, and it is a soldier. As for the Oda family, the means adopted by the main family are to plan and cut the relationship. ”
"How to schem, cut down the soldiers?" Nobuyo Takeda asked.
Li Xiaoshen said: "In the name of the Gongfang Palace, instigate Maoli. Honganji, Saga Iga all sides hit the Oda family. And this hand means. That is, to cut the diplomatic relations, that is, to attack from afar, with the Maori that is entangled with the family's territoryless country, Honganji formed a situation of attacking the Oda family from both sides, in order to force the Oda family to retreat. The Oda family can organize this Takeda siege, and we can also organize the third Oda siege. ”
"That's my double enclosure strategy."
"Double encirclement!"
Takeda Nobuyo, Ichichi Shinlong and others were all shocked.
Just as the Oda family contacted Kenshin Uesugi. Long-distance and close attacks are general.,The Takeda family can also contact Mori.,Honganji out together.。 Treat each other the way of others, and govern the bodies of others.
"How easy is it to say?" "Honganji Temple has been under siege by the Oda family in recent years, and it is a difficult problem to have a strong and incapable army, and the Mori family and the main family are in the east and the west, so how can they easily start a war with the Oda family?" ”
Li Xiao listened to the questioning of the Ministry of Traces, and smiled slightly, he didn't dare to say that he was sure before, but this time the Maori family actually sent the diplomatic monk Ankokuji Huiqiong to Tase Mountain Castle.
Although he didn't know what he meant, Li Xiao also guessed a few points as a crosser. …,
This Ankokuji Huiqiong is a figure in history who has dealt with Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and his departure shows that the Maori family has the intention of taking the initiative to contact the Takeda family.
After connecting the recently collected information of the Maori family and what he knew in history, Li Xiao grasped a few points of the Maori family's intentions.
Historically, after the Mori family placed Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Yasuki, in the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, in the fifth year of Tensho, that is, this year, organized the third siege network against the Oda family.
Associated with Honganji, Uesugi Kenshin in the east, Takeda Katsuyori, and four daimyo cut down Oda.
It's a pity that unlike history, Uesugi Kenshin was blocked by Li Xiao because of the road to Shangluo, so his interests conflicted with Takeda, so he sided with the Oda family.
But Mori Terumoto's ambition to crusade against Oda is absolutely there.
Therefore, he sent Anguo Temple Huiqiong this time, and Li Xiao had a great confidence in judging that it was for the Maori family's large-scale eastward expansion in history this time to prepare for a foreshadowing.
Who said that at this moment, only the Takeda family needs the Mori family, and the Mori family needs the Takeda family's containment of the main force of the Oda army.
If Oda Nobutada and Takigawa Ischiyi were held back by the Takeda family, then the Oda family, who gathered the troops of the Ten Kingdoms of San'in Sanyodo to deal with it, had only Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Kita-Omi Army all the way in this regard.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is not exactly the opportunity to give Mori Terumoto, take advantage of the situation to break through, and enter and Shangluo.
So after Li Xiao thought of this, Honda Masanobu's opinion coincided with his own, and he took the initiative to ask Li Zheng for his life and contact Anguoji Huiqiong to contact the Maori family.
Li Xiao looked at the trace of Katsuzi and said: "I have contacted the Maori family, as for whether the Maori family will send troops, although I am not completely sure, but there is a great possibility, if the Maori family is willing to fight, Honganji will inevitably echo it, and then the Oda family will also fall into the dilemma of being attacked on both sides." ”
"At this point, it's up to who can't hold it first."
Takeda Nobufan, Takeda Nobuyoshi listened to Li Xiao's words, and they all nodded.
Takeda Shin said: "I think the words of Major General Konoe are very reasonable, this can be tried, even if it fails, there is no loss." ”
"But just let Uesugi Kenshin wreak havoc in Shinano?" Kiso Yoshimasa spoke.
Li Xiao saw Kiso Yoshimasa speak, and groaned secretly, thinking that this was just an opportunity to push the boat down the river.
At that moment, Li Xiaoyan said: "Kiso-sama don't worry, Uesugi Kenshin is pouring out of the country, Kasuga Mountain Castle, the direction of Ueno Country is bound to be empty, and the family can mobilize the Hida Echichu Army to send troops from Matsukura Castle and cut off its way back." If the Nishiueno Army can be dispatched to cooperate, then it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"The main force of the Hida Echichu Army is facing the Shibata Army Army. If you send troops to Kasuga Mountain Castle, this is a two-sided battle, can Yagata Gong be so sure? ”
Nobuyhiro Takeda asked.
Li Xiao looked around at the retainers and immediately said, "I'm willing to give it a try myself." ”
Li Xiao's words mean that he intends to take the initiative to make a comeback.
All the retainers of the Takeda family turned their eyes to each other.
Takeda Nobuhiro sighed and said, "Yes, there is no one to take on this matter. This is a time of crisis. Yagata Gong can go out of the mountain again, which shows his loyalty to his family, and I thank Yagata Gong here. ”
Li Xiao immediately said: "Chaoyue Gong can't say that, I am deeply favored by the two hall owners, and I should repay my family with death." These are all things that I can do, and I can only do my best. ”
Takeda Nobuyoshi nodded, looked at the retainers at the moment, and said: "Since this is the case, everything will be according to what was discussed in the military council, and the first army will be sent to attack the Tokugawa family." Do you have any objections? ”
When all the retainers listened to Takeda Shinshi's words, they all bowed to the ground. Suddenly agreed.
At that moment, Takeda Nobushihiro, who was the aftermath of Takeda Nobukatsu, stood up and said: "In this case, this battle will be fought against the Tokugawa family, the owner of the hall will be the general general, Nobulian will be the deputy general, and I will be the military officer, and the maximum mobilization will be carried out according to the military service book after everyone returns." After that, he led the army to gather in Kofu and crusade against the Tokugawa family! ”…,
Oh!
The retainers of the Takeda family were passionate, since the Battle of Nagashino. The banner of the Takeda family's Kazebayashi volcano will once again be raised high, bringing blood and carnage to the Tokugawa family in Mikawa.
Faced with this, Li Xiao was slightly silent and sat in the middle without saying a word.
This time, his comeback, wearing military uniform again, the hustle and bustle of the former battlefield now seems to echo in his ears again.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao seemed to smell a hint of blood.
Since the Onin Rebellion, it has been nearly a hundred years since the Warring States Rebellion.
The overlord of the world is also about to come out.
And where will he lead the Li family? This choice will soon be decided.
Wakasa country, Tase mountain castle.
In the castle tower, negotiations between Honda Masanobu and Ankokuji Keikyo are also underway.
Ankokuji Huiqiong heard Honda Masatin say that he was instructed by Mori Terumoto or Yoshikawa Motoharu, and when he knew that the other party had already guessed his intentions here.
As Li Xiao and Honda Masanobu speculated, the Maori family has begun to lay out for the eastward expansion of the family.
Previously, the Maori family's invasion of Harima Province had not been smooth, and after the Kodera family, the largest force in the Western Harima Kingdom, fell to the Oda family.
Mori Terumoto was furious, and immediately went into battle in person, and with his uncle Kobayakawa Takakei as the general, he advanced by land and water, and stormed Harima Province, but under the active performance of the Kodera family's governor Kodera and the active performance of the family's elder Kuroda Takataka, the Mori family's offensive was repulsed.
After that, Hideyoshi Hashiba led a large army into Moma Province, and with Himeji Castle as a stronghold, he began to take the initiative to attack the Mori family.
Hideyoshi Hashiba is a master of using power, and his consistent art of war is not based on strategy.
After receiving the support of the Kodera family, especially Kuroda Takataka, who was familiar with the situation in the western country, Toyotomi Hideyoshi actively began his strategy, subdued the Akamatsu family, the Harima guardian, and received a hostage from him.
After completing the establishment of the local forces in Nishiharima, Hideyoshi Hashiba sent an army of three thousand Koroku Beesuka to attack Iwasu Castle and Takeda Castle in Tajima Province, and mastered Ikuno Ginzan.
In order to fight against the Maori family, Hashiba Hideyoshi cooperated again, determined to revive the Niko Katsuhisa of the Niko family, and Yamanaka Yukimori captured Kamitsuki Castle.
Kamitsuki Castle is a major city at the junction of Harima, Misaku, and Bizen borders, and it is also the forefront of the eastern line of the Mori family.
Later, Hideyoshi Hashiba captured Fukuhara Castle of the Mori family.
In the face of Hashiba Hideyoshi's repeated provocations, the Maori family was furious, and Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was in charge of the defense of this area, lost face for a while, and immediately mobilized the Daimyo Ukita Naoya, a subordinate of the Maori family, to attack Kamitsuki Castle.
From the current point of view, the Mori family has revealed a strategic situation of advancing eastward and competing with the Oda family for, but the Equestrian guardian Daimyo Yamana Yutoyo rebelled from Oda and fell to the Mori family, but the Itshiki family of Tango Province is indeed unclear and ambiguous.
As for the Ukita Naoka, he had already taken refuge in Maori as a thug for his strategy.
Therefore, on the way to the eastward expansion of the Maori family, the situation is very good, but the reality is that under the strategy of Yushiba Hideyoshi, it is enough to suffer losses again and again.
Mori Terumoto wanted to complete the grand strategic alliance with the Takeda family, and also adopted the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack.
However, Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was the executor of the strategy, held his breath and wanted to seek justice here, so he instructed Ankokuji Huiqiong to test it to see if the Takeda family had materials that could cooperate with his troops.
If not, then the Takeda family is not worthy, in the strategy of the western country, they have more right to speak, and they are not qualified to sit down at the table with the Maori family to share the benefits.
Ankokuji Huiqiong asked tentatively: "At the moment, the Hida Echichu Army is fighting hard with the Shibata Army, and I don't know how sure I am of the offensive in the direction. ”
Of course, Honda Masanobu will not leak the Naito family's already subordinate and Araki Murashige's hole card to the Maori family in advance, in fact, the rebellion against Araki Murashige is also underway. …,
Honda Masanbu also doesn't believe that the Maori family will have no idea about Araki Murashige.
Therefore, Arakimura Shigenow is very popular, and Takeda, Mori, and Honganji all hope that he can make a rebellion and deal a heavy blow to the Oda family's rule near.
Honda Masanobu said with a smile: "Master Huiqiong, although rest assured, the family has long had the intention of attacking, yes, the Shibata Army's use of troops against Kaga has indeed caused trouble to the family, but this is only for a while, not for a long time." ”
"For now, the family has the support of half of the people of Wakasa Province here, and there are hundreds of naval warships, plus the Ming Kingdom and the Nanban people all maintain good relations with the family, and they can mobilize tens of thousands of troops to attack at any time, so please rest assured about this."
Honda's words are of course twice as exaggerated, but they are not all nonsense.
Ankokuji Huiqiong listened to Honda Masanobu's words, and his confidence was greatly boosted, and he said: "Very good, since this is the case, I will tell the truth, my Maori family has long had the ambition to enter the Tango country, but unfortunately the Isshiki family does not know the general trend, and it is vacillating between Oda and the main family, I came to Wakasa this time, it is with the decision of the head of the family and Yoshikawa-sama, hoping to destroy the Isshiki family with the Takeda family, and divide the Tango country equally afterwards, I don't know what Honda-sama wants?" ”
Equally share Tango Province!
Rao is Honda Masanobu is calm, and his wrist can't help but shake at this moment.
Now the Yamana family of Tajima Province is also subordinate to the Mori family, and if the Mori family captures Tango Province again, it will undoubtedly be another step forward for.
And it is possible to form a semi-encirclement of Harima Province, Tanba Province, and Settsu.
In addition, it can prevent the Isshiki family from falling to the Oda family like the Kodera family, so that they can control more powerfully.
Honda Masanobu listened to his eyes narrowed slightly, and said in his heart that this is the strategy of the Maori family, on the surface, it is a big fanfare, and he takes the Sanyo Road to go out of the battle with Harima and the Oda family's North Omi Army, but in fact, he secretly crosses Chencang, goes to the mountains to attack Tango Province, and implements a big roundabout strategy.
The Maori strategy is really far-sighted.
