Yuan turtle three years.

After Oda Nobunaga burned Mt. Hiei, Prince Kakushubo, the abbot of Mt. Hiei, fled to Kai.

Takeda Shingen provided protection for Kakushu, and Kakushu appointed Shingen as the official of the Quan Monk.

The matter of the monkhood is the continuation of the Chinese monk system in the Middle Ages in Japan.

From top to bottom, it is divided into three levels and ten classes, and among the monks, it is divided into three classes, such as the big monk, the monk, and the right monk.

In addition to thanking Xinxuan for his protection, he also gave Xinxuan the status of protector of Buddhism.

Jue Shu took this opportunity to implore Takeda Shingen to revive Buddhism.

Takeda Shingen agreed to Jueshu's request and wrote a letter to Nobunaga, asking Nobunaga to stop fighting and stop obstructing Buddhism, and signed the letter as 'Tendai Quan Monk Shoshamen Shingen'.

After Nobunaga saw the letter, he smiled at the end of the letter and signed it as 'Nobunaga, the sixth heavenly demon king', the sixth heavenly demon king is the demon who lives in the sixth heaven in Buddhism, also known as he is the god of freedom, not only has the strongest mana, but also destroys the practitioner's Buddhahood.

Nobunaga's move was an expression of his determination to continue to oppose Buddhism.

At this point, the alliance between the two Takeda and Oda families was completely broken.

And Kikuhime's marriage to Nobunaga's sister-in-law, Oda Nobutada, was also canceled.

The news of the breakdown of the Takeda-Oda Alliance soon spread to the ears of the daimyo with a heart.

All of a sudden, the news that Xinxuan would go to Luo spread widely.

In the third year of Motokame, in April, Takeda Shingen sent troops from the Tsugasaki Pavilion.

However, Shingen's destination was not to go west, but to the north.

After the Hojo family broke the alliance with the Uesugi family and re-allied with the Takeda family, and the death of the Hojo clan, Uesugi Kenshin re-entered the stable bridge castle and united with the eight famous Kanto Daidai Daiyama, Satomi, Satake, Yuuki, Oda, Nasu, Utsunomiya, and Chiba to jointly wage war against the Hojo family.

Preparing to attack the Hojo family, a foothold is unstable.

The head of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan, was worried about the unstable situation, so he asked his father-in-law, Shingen, for help.

In order to show his support for the alliance, Takeda Shingen was invited by the Hojo clan to personally lead a large army out of Nishi-Ueno to fight against Uesugi Kenshin.

This is the last year after the battle of Kawanakajima, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin faced off again, and it was also the last time in history that the two faced off.

PS: In fact, the time of the confrontation between the two is January of the third year of the Yuan Turtle in history.

On both sides of the Tone River in the middle of Ueno Province, the two armies of Takeda and Uesugi faced each other across the river.

Under the banner of the battle of the characters.

On both sides of Kenshin's white silk hood, gray-white sideburns are faintly exposed, and several wrinkles have climbed on his former high-spirited face.

Although Uesugi Kenshin, who swept through the Kanto region that year, was still strong in his hand holding the reins and still had a steady momentum, after years of fighting on horseback, he inevitably showed a bit of old age.

Uesugi Kenshin is 44 years old this year, while his opponent, Kai Tiger, Takeda Shingen, is 2 out of 50.

Uesugi Kenshin looked at the Takeda Army's main camp under the banner of the 'Wind Forest Volcano', the man riding on the shoulder.

After looking at it for a long time, Uesugi Kenshin waved his hand and said, "Retire."

Kamishi Jingsheng and other Uesugi generals were shocked when they heard this.

Jingsheng was the first to speak: "Father, but we have not yet fought with the Takeda Army. ”

Uesugi Kenshin put his horsewhip under his ribs, turned his horse's head and said to the generals, "You are worried that if we avoid fighting in front of the Takeda army, people will think that I am humble and cowardly. ”

"Of course not, six battles in the middle of the river, who dares to underestimate me in the Takeda army." Uesugi Keikatsu replied proudly......

Uesugi Kenshin nodded and said, "Exactly, but what about the result, after the six battles of Kawanakajima, Shingen has taken the land of Shinano, Ueno, Hida, Echichu, Suruga, and Enoe, and I, Kenshin, am still trapped in the land of Echigo, and in terms of the general trend, I still lost to Shingen." ”

Uesugi Ken believed in the sky and sighed, and said: "Naoe, Kakisaki, and Murakami are all famous generals for a while, but it's a pity that I am humble and incompetent, and I am tired of you losing the battlefield." ”

"The Lord"

The Uesugi generals hurriedly persuaded.

Uesugi Ken paused and said, "It's just a moment of sadness, now that Shingen is sitting in the land of the Eight Kingdoms, there is no one in the world except Nobunaga who is resisting him." If this continues, Xinxuan will be able to succeed in Shangluo, complete the hegemony, and dominate the world, and even I can only hope that he will breathe at that time. ”

The generals listened to Kenshin Uesugi's words, but they were all silent.

Perhaps some people think that Nobunaga can hinder Shingen from going to Luo, but more people are optimistic about Shingen's success in Shangluo this time. …,

This is not because the Takeda family's power is better than the Oda family, but purely because of Shingen, the world's first military artist, and the incomparable cohesion of the Takeda family's retainers under the banner of his wind forest volcano.

"Let's watch, in less than three years, Shingen will be able to complete the hegemony, and then Nobunaga's son will lead the horse for Shingen."

In the end, as an opponent of Takeda Shingen I, Uesugi Kenshin made this assertion.

Various expressions appeared on the faces of the Uesugi generals.

"My lord, the Takeda family has also withdrawn"

As the Uesugi army retreated, a general pointed to the other side of the river.

The two armies actually tacitly understood and retreated together.

Uesugi Kenshin sat on his horse, looked at the slowly retreating army of the Takeda family, and said silently in his heart: "Shingen, I'm in Kasuga Mountain Castle, see how you complete the Kamiro hegemony, don't disappoint me." ”

On the banks of the Tone River, the two armies retreated, leaving only the river empty.

Yuan turtle three years, April.

Nobunaga led Sakuma Nobumori, Shibata Katsuie, Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka generals, and more than 20,000 troops to Yamato Province to aid the Hatakeyama family, which was besieged by Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi three.

The Buddhist capital of Nara is the center of Yamato Province, with Buddhist temples and Buddhist temples all practiced by local daimyo and wealthy families.

Although Oda Nobunaga, who burned Mt. Hiei, was regarded by the local wealthy clan as 'the world's first-class person without Buddhism', Todai-ji Temple and Kofukuji Temple, which were guarded by monks and supported by many wealthy believers, were afraid of Nobunaga's might and surrendered to the Oda family, cooperating with them to lead the way.

Besieged by the Oda army and the Yamato clan, Matsunaga Hide, and the Miyoshi trio were defeated.

Nobunaga then ordered a part of his army, along with the newly subdued Yamato daimyo Tsutsui Shunkei, to besiege Tamonyama Castle in Matsunaga Shu, and in May, Nobunaga himself returned to Gifu with a large army.

In July, Oda Nobunaga again sent troops from Gifu, this time targeting Kita-Omi.

This time, the Oda family was extremely strong, and besieged the main castle of the Asai family, Kotani Castle, and cut off all transportation.

Omi Eagle Asai Nagamasa fought unfavorably, did not break through the encirclement of the Oda family, and immediately asked the Asakura family for help.

The Asakura family was afraid of Nobunaga's military strength and refused to send troops, so Asai Nagamasa had to order someone to send false news to the Asakura family, claiming that Nagashima's Issemune had made a big move to block the passage of Mino-Owari, and that if Asakura sent troops to Omi, he could easily wipe out Nobunaga at this time.

Asakura Yoshikage, the head of the Asakura family, was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led an army of 15,000 troops, but after arriving, Asakura Yoshikage found that he had been fooled by the Asai family.

The morale of the Asakura family was greatly reduced, and they immediately retreated to defend themselves.

In August, and at this time, the powerful retainer in front of the Asakura family, Maebo Yoshiki, Tomita Nagashige was returned by the Oda army.

The Asakura army was in chaos without a fight, and the situation of the Asai family was even worse, so the Oda family took the opportunity to build a branch city on all sides of Kotani Castle, Toramae Mountain Castle, which was located in Kinoshita Hideyoshi's Yokoyama Castle and Miyabe Jijun's Miyabe Castle to form a large defensive branch city group, completely blocking the passage in and out of the Oda family.

In the face of the powerful Oda army, and the fall of Asakura and Asai was imminent, the heads of the two families wrote together to Takeda Shingen of Kai for help, hoping that the other party could send troops at this moment to save them from fire and water.

Otherwise, Asakura and Asai will be defeated, and the Oda family will no longer have to worry about the west, and they can rest assured that they will use troops to the east.

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could not sit still, and the encirclement net he provoked against Nobunaga was about to be torn apart, if so, Nobunaga would be able to play him with impunity, and at this time, there was only one person in the world who could stop Nobunaga.

So Ashikaga Yoshiaki wrote a secret letter to Shingen again, begging Takeda Shingen to take this opportunity to go to Luo, and they promised that if the Takeda family sent troops, he would mobilize all his forces and stand on the opposite side of the Oda family.

At the same time, Matsunaga Shu, who was heavily surrounded by the Oda family's army in Tamonyama Castle, also wrote a letter begging Shingen to send troops.

The Venerable Master of Ishiyama Honganji wrote a letter to Shingen, begging him to come forward to protect the Dharma and eradicate the Buddha's enemy, Oda Nobunaga, in order to repay the burning of Mt. Hiei.

For a while, Takeda Shingen was burdened with the hope of the world, and everyone looked at Kai, hoping that Takeda Shingen could go to Luo at this moment, and fight with Oda Nobunaga, who was raging at this time, to completely eradicate this Buddha enemy.

On the other hand, Kai was calm at the moment.

Takeda Shingen, who returned from Ueno Province, was still unmoved, and this scene made many people anxious and unable to sleep at night. …,

Yuan turtle three years, September.

At the time of the Oda Army and Asai Army, the Asakura Army was still in the Battle of Kita-Omi.

In the Hojo family's Odawara Castle in the Kanto region, it is peaceful at the moment, and the climate is approaching autumn.

Pedestrians in the town have already added a layer of clothing to protect against the cold of early autumn.

At this time, a fast horse coming from the east galloped into the castle town.

In a temple in the castle town, there is a diplomatic monk who lives in Odawara Town, where Takeda's head lives and is in charge of communicating information between the two families.

Bengo was a Rinzai monk and a proud disciple of the abbot of Keirin Temple, Kuaikawa Shaoxi.

Before the horse galloped to the temple gate, the horse man was also an acquaintance of the temple, and the other party directly kept the horse by the monk without reporting to the monk at the door, and he entered the door to see Benwu.

As soon as the other party saw this, he immediately took out a letter and handed it to the other party.

When he saw the surface of the envelope, he was taken aback.

The seal of the envelope was covered with fire paint and was intact, while the letter read, 'Opened by Dr. Zuojing'.

Dr. Sakyo is the official position of the current head of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan, which means that this is a handwritten letter to the Hojo clan.

And the person who wrote the letter was none other than Takeda Daizen Shingen.

Seeing this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he changed into a monk's robe and walked out directly to Odawara Castle.

Immediately after this enlightenment, he was received by the Hojo clan. Hongo handed the letter to the Hojo clan on the spot, and when the other party pulled out the letter, he couldn't help but shake his hand.

After a long time, the Hojo clan said slowly: "Father-in-law, I really want to send troops to Shangluo" ......,
