After the surrender of Hojo Castle and the seppuku of Hojo Takahiro, Nagao Keitora led 3,000 troops south, crossed the Chikuma River, and merged with the belated Nagao Masaki army, and a total of 4,000 men marched along the east bank of the Chikuma River to Kitashinano.

In the afternoon of the third day, Nagao Jinghu arrived on the east side of Kawanaka Island.

The Rhinogawa River and the Chikuma River meet here, and this narrow stretch of land south of the estuary is called Kawanakajima.

The northernmost part of the battlefield, on the north bank of the Xichuan River, was the Nagao Jinghu army, with about 5,000 men.

Kawanaka Island on the south bank of the Rhino River and the west bank of the Chikuma River was the Takeda Shingen army, with about 8,000 men.

To the southeast of the battlefield, the Nagao Jinghu army on the east bank of the Chikuma River was about 4,000 people.

The Takeda side's superiority in strength no longer existed, and due to the separate deployment of the Long Tail Army, the Takeda Army fell into a situation of being attacked on its back.

This made Kansuke Yamamoto puzzled.

What made Takeda Fang even more mad was that they once again couldn't tell which long-tailed Jinghu was real.

The long-tailed Jinghu on the north bank of the Xichuan River is the real body, which is the result they confirmed a few days ago.

What about the east bank of the Chikuma River?

Although there was no direct contact, through the intelligence of the ninja and the results of the battle of Hojo Castle, it is enough to deduce that this level of combat was only possible in the entire Echigo.

So, once again, they were confused.

In the camp of Kawanakajima, Shingen once again held a military assessment.

"Now that Hojo Takahiro has been defeated, will our army continue to fight with the Nagao family, or will it retreat?"

Led by the lord Shingen, the military discussion discussed by the important ministers was carried out vigorously, in fact, the more intelligent generals of the Takeda family had already heard a hint of a tendency to withdraw from Shingen's words......

Essentially, they planned to take advantage of Hojo Takahiro's rebellion to contain Echigo's army, and then attack Kita-Shinano in an attempt to control all of Kita-Shinano's territory.

But it backfired, and Hojo Takahiro was too weak, and he was defeated in just over ten days......

In this way, their advantage is gone, and the morale of the Nagao family is high because of the victory in counterinsurgency.

…… Coupled with the effect of "two long-tailed Jinghu", let Takeda Army Alexander.

In the end, under Shingen's intentional or unintentional hints, as well as the verbal offensive of Kansuke Yamamoto and Yukitaka Sanada, the retainers reached a consensus and decided to withdraw their troops.

Correspondingly, the Nagao Keihu army on the east bank of the Chikuma River crossed the Chikuma River and came to Zenko-ji Temple to join the Nagao Keihu army.

At this point, the "two long-tailed tigers" became a long-tailed tiger, and the long-tailed army held a banquet at Zenko-ji Temple to celebrate the victory in this battle.

There is a good saying that Japanese Noh scares people to death.

Wearing a hideous mask with severely distorted proportions, a person holding a prop moves stiffly like a zombie......

"Yo ↗...... Yo ↘ ......"

also had a weird singing voice, which made Cheng Zheng yawn N in a row, but he didn't expect that the generals of the Long Tail family watched it with relish.

Just when Cheng Zheng yawned N+1, Sister Jinghu left the table, and then an unknown Ji warrior also came to Cheng Zheng's side, and respectfully invited him to Building M, Room 401 - in fact, it was Sister Jinghu's special chanting Buddha hall in Zenko Temple.

As soon as Cheng Zheng entered the chanting room, he saw Sister Jinghu with her back to him, if it weren't for the long hair on the back of her head, I'm afraid that Cheng Zheng would be difficult to find out that she was actually a woman, right?

Before Cheng Zheng sat down, Sister Jinghu suddenly threw something over, and Cheng Zheng was caught off guard and was beaten.

"Smack!"

It hurts!

It turned out to be a rosary...... And it's a big rosary...... The big rosary of chanting was given to Cheng Zheng by Sister Jinghu's flying props on the spot...... Cheng Zheng wanted to cry.

When Cheng Zheng rubbed his eyes and wiped back his tears, he found that Sister Jinghu didn't know when she was already standing in front of her and looking down at herself.

"Give me a reason, or you won't want to get out of here."

This sentence was squeezed out of Sister Jinghu's mouth, and Cheng Zheng already felt very cold just by listening to it...... He raised his eyelids and saw the Taidao on Sister Jinghu's waist and a hand pressed on the handle of the Taidao...... Sister Jinghu's petite, delicate right hand.

"What does the lord mean, the ministers don't quite understand."

Suddenly, there was a short and piercing friction sound, and the knife in Sister Jinghu's hand pulled out half a foot out.

Xiaodou's long and bright knife light made Cheng Zheng lose his mind for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the half-foot blade was already across his neck.

"Give me a reason, or you won't want to get out of here."

Sister Jinghu's expression has not changed, her eyes have not changed, and the coercion like a mountain has not changed.

Then, a sarcastic smile rose at the corner of Chengzheng's mouth.

He raised his head to look at Longtail Jinghu and met her eyes.

With just a glance, Cheng Zheng understood that Long-tailed Jinghu wanted to kill himself now, and he wanted to do it very specially.

"I did this in accordance with the instructions of my lord...... In addition, Naoe-sama, who was the main commander of Hojo Castle in the First World War, also agreed to my proposal...... Echigo has no shortage of fierce generals, and what Echigo lacks is a samurai like Naoe-sama who is both military and political and understands righteousness. ”

Looking at Nagao Jinghu's pretty face that was trembling a little with anger, Sasa Narumasa smiled happily and raised his neck, bringing Xiaodou Changguang's blade closer to ......

"This is the reason for your majesty, please ask the lord to decide."

The extreme anger made Longtail Jinghu's cheeks twitch...... Why is this man so hateful?

Why does this man make her so disgusting?

Why does this man bore her so much?

Why did this man do all the things that were so excessive, and she couldn't find a reason to kill him?

The last one especially made Sister Jinghu feel frustrated.

According to the agreement reached between the two after the Kasuga Yamashiro Evaluation Meeting, Sasa Narimasa, Nagao Keinobu and "Nagao Keitor" went to Kashiwazaki Port to join the Naoe Keixuna army. After that, the ostensible leader of this counterinsurgency army was "Nagao Keiho", but the actual commander was Naoe Keitsuna, and his deputy was Sasa Naimasa.

Sister Jinghu just can't trust Zuo Chengzheng, so she let Naoe Jinggang be the main general, but according to Chengzheng's statement...... The decision to order Hojo Takahiro seppuku was also approved by Naoe Keixuna's nod......

How so?

Naoe Yamato Shoujinggang is one of her most trusted retainers, why would even he betray him?

Is it possible that Sasa Seimasa deceived her?

As soon as she thought of this possibility, Sister Jinghu immediately denied it, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng had no reason to lie to her, this villain must have felt very happy when he saw his deflated appearance, how could he lie to her?

If you want to lie to her, you just need to be like Levi.

But Sasa Naruma is obviously not.

After repeated hesitation, Sister Jinghu finally snorted coldly, put the knife into the sheath, turned around and sat under the statue of Bishamentian again.

Takeda Shingen...... You must have a way, tell me. ”

"Strength! In the face of absolute power, any plan will pale in comparison. ”

"Power...... ......" Sister Jinghu looked up at Bishamentian, but her thoughts drifted into the distance with the snowflakes outside the window.

"But...... I don't have enough strength...... Middleman...... I...... Very useless......"

The military goddess muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear.
