The most embarrassing thing for Kira Yoshitoki is that he is very uncomfortable with this fake Ashikaga, no matter how many times he uses the name of the Kamiki Ashikaga family in his external statement, the world still calls it the Kira family, and the anti-Kira alliance highlights the embarrassing situation of the Kamiashikaga family, perhaps this is the little trick played by Ashikaga Yoshiki at the beginning, deliberately making Kira Yoshitoki swallow the bait thrown over, forcing him to fall into an embarrassing situation where he can't advance and can't retreat.

When I looked at Kira Yoshishi to clear his suspicions, I felt that he was really difficult, and he was able to get to this point over the years thanks to his excellent ability, and he won a huge territory of nearly five countries from a remote territory in Echigo, which is really a bit high to say how much credit the imperial court and shogunate occupied, and it is hard work and countless sweat to get to this point, and it is understandable that the Furukawa family will ask for a serious name after the heir.

"It makes sense, leave this matter to Yu to handle!" Konoe stood up and said to him, "Without further ado, Yu will set off immediately, and try to clear it for you before the summer comes, and then hold the enthronement ceremony for you in Kamakura!" ”

Konoe was also very anxious for a long time, for fear that things would not be discussed well and delay his big event, so he returned to Kyoto on the Kigara family's express boat early the next morning, and Kira Yoshitoki was very grateful for the enthusiasm of this righteous brother, and it can be confirmed that he was completely selfless to run before and after the prosperity of the shogunate, and he did not consider the relationship between the righteous brothers and his in-laws when he accused him, and this impartiality is really rare.

Kira Yoshishi watched him leave, looking at the blue sea stretching into the sky, a little distracted, and only after a long time did he whisper: "I'm sorry, brother! Yu didn't lie to you though. But some facts are still hidden...... The general of Zhengyi is bound to win. No one can stop Yu from getting him! No one! ”

The third day of February. Mochizuki Yoshino gave birth to a son for Kira Yoshitoki, which was also the first great event of Eiroku's four years on the Ashikaga family, which was regarded as a good omen for the beginning of the year by Kira Yoshitoki, so he named this youngest son Kichiyo, symbolizing the meaning of bringing good luck to him and his family, taking advantage of the last few days of ice and snow melting, accompanying several ladies to live some quiet days.

It wasn't until February 12 that information came from the front of February that Uesugi Terutora had come out of Hirai Castle. Only then did he get out of the gentle countryside and gather 5,000 troops to announce the expedition to Kanto, and before leaving, Kira Yoshishi also arranged an order to accelerate the reclamation of new fields to the countries in the territory, and Nagao Masakai and Nagao Keishinobu still served as the remaining guards, and this time a new face was added Nagao Yoshikage.

The 5,000 troops did not choose the time-consuming and labor-intensive Mikuni Pass, but changed to the Shinano streets that Uesugi Terutora had walked through, passed through the relatively flat and wide streets of Kita-Shinano into Saku-gun, and then turned to Nishi-Ugano to come to Hirai Castle to sit down.

Uesugi Terutora set out with 45,000 troops. The Ueno army was not taken away with them, and Nagano Yoshimasa, Umizumi Hidetsuna, Numata Hoyasu and other Ueno retainers took 15,000 troops to guard Ueno's throat hinterland. To ensure the safety of the grain route and the supply of grain and grass, and at this time, with the addition of the 5,000 main formations of the Kira army, Ueno Province had another 20,000 troops.

Seeing the seemingly endless Kira army, even the wind demon ninjas with strong confidence couldn't help but retreat, they couldn't get close to the Kira army's camp within five hundred meters, because the Kira ninjas near the camp could simply be described as dense, Kira Yoshishi was a sneak attack master, and naturally had the deepest precautions against sneak attacks and the like.

Seeing that things could not be done, the Wind Demon Kotaro immediately retreated with the Wind Demon Ninja, for him, he heard that the number of troops of the Kira Army had already played the whole basic task, and if he continued to probe it, he would not only lose manpower, but also possibly increase the vigilance of the Kira family, and it was already certain that the strength of the Kira Army could not be stopped, so there was no need to fight the grass and scare the snake to kill people.

There are only two names used by the Kira Army in this Kanto crusade, one is to severely punish Ashikaga Fujimasa of the Miyoshi family who dared to collude and mutilate the shogunate to cause trouble in Kyoto, and the other is to hold the inauguration ceremony of the Kanto governor for Uesugi Teruto.

The Hojo clan was in a hurry, and hurriedly informed Takeda Shingen and Imagawa Shin to ask for the support of the Triple Alliance, and at the same time contacted Ashikaga Fujimasa and various Kanto allies to ask them to send troops to fight against the barbaric Kira army, but how many of the Kwantung samurai were willing to stand on his side against the powerful Kira army?

There was no one, including the former hardcore Chiba Yinfu and the Oda clan who took a lot of benefits from the Hojo family, all the Tobu family didn't see his distress letter, and some countrymen sent away the envoy of the Hojo family with a few perfunctory words, and scolded in their hearts while burning the letter: "This is just a joke, let's touch the 60,000 tiger army of Kira?" We have no enmity with him, whoever touches him is stupid! ”

It turns out that Oda Shiji, including those who are slightly mentally abnormal, also shows enough IQ, and no one will stand up to support the Hojo family at this time, including the true hardcore ally of the Hojo family, the Triple Alliance, but these two families do not forget to give a reason when they refuse, which is better than those Kanto people who eat dry and have no conscience.

The Imagawa clan really wanted to help his father-in-law and eldest brother, but helplessly, since he ordered the death of the hostages exposed in Suruga by the people of Mikawa Province, the Imagawa family fell into an unprecedented chaos, and the Imagawa clan, who was addicted to killing, pulled the people of Toe out again to beat him, and as a result, he accidentally listened to Ono's good slander and executed the lord of Toe Iiya.

Imagawa really remembered that this Jing Yi Naoko seemed to be a relative of Jing Yi Naohu, and he unconsciously abolished the Jing Yi family again, and he regretted it to death, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was all the traitor Ono Dao's fault, so he simply didn't do two things and backhanded the slanderous Ono Dao Hao to death, and then broke the dirty water to this unlucky ghost, saying that he poisoned the Jing Yi Nao.

But no matter how he played, he couldn't hide the result of the Imagawa family being collapsed by him, and at this time, Matsudaira Ieyasu of Mikawa successfully captured Tojo Castle and drove Kira Yoshiyasu to Saijo Castle and couldn't shrink out, and at the same time successfully transferred the people of Higashi-Mikawa to join him, and extended his tentacles to Enoe Province by taking advantage of Imagawa Shin's own time to play himself. This also means that the drama of "Yuanjiang Drama" has officially begun.

Matsudaira Ieyasu received political assurances from Oda Nobunaga of the Cheongju League. Then he threw all his forces into the war to unify Mikawa. At present, the impact on Enoe can only be regarded as partial, and it is actually Takeda Shingen, who has shrunk in Kai, who is really putting great pressure on Enoe and Suruga.

Takeda Shingen and his son Takeda Yoshinobu are very stiff, the reason is that there is a serious opposition in the direction of housekeeping, Takeda Yoshinobu is Imagawa Yoshimoto's son-in-law Imagawa clan Shin's brother-in-law, himself is the head of the Takeda family pro-Imagawa, and his father is very dissatisfied with his father's "kind help" to the Imagawa family, he believes that the Triple Alliance is an unbreakable alliance and should not interfere with his own allies.

But his behavior this time not only angered Takeda Shingen. It also completely angered the already restless retainers of the spectrum, and the retainers of the spectrum united together to ask for Takeda Shingen, hoping to persuade and educate Takeda Yoshinobu to make him change his thinking as soon as possible, and the Takeda family would only be a dead end if it did not expand.

Takeda Shingen understands that the plea of the retainers of the spectrum is not simple, this can be seen as both a plea and a threat, maybe this time is a request for the next time it may be a sword and soldier, when you see their angry expressions, it has already shown that the contradictions between the two sides have developed to the point of irreconcilability, and from the current point of view, the anger of the retainers of the spectrum is almost accumulating to a critical point.

As the governor of the family, he did not make a statement on the spot, he still maintained the majesty of the governor and the attitude of secrecy, and only sighed alone when the retainers were gone: "What you said is right. My Takeda family needs to act as soon as possible, and nesting in Kai will only plunge my Takeda family into decline and turmoil. Only by getting out of Kai can we see hope, and the family decided to take advantage of the Hojo family's attack by the Kira army to go out of Suruga, but in this way, Taro will be sacrificed! ”

Takeda Shingen had already made up his mind to do something to his sister-in-law, and suddenly attacked Takeda Yoshinobu on the gap between Uesugi Terutora and Musashi Kingdom, and he used a seemingly absurd charge of "colluding with the Imagawa clan to plot to exile the family governor", so he sent his sister-in-law to Tokoji Temple under house arrest, and Takeda Yoshinobu's Lang party was also captured and killed and exiled, and the pro-Takeda Yoshinobu party was uprooted in just a few days.

Among them, there is the full support and active cooperation of the retainers of the spectrum, because they know that Takeda Shingen is going to send troops to Suruga, which is also something they have been eagerly looking forward to for a long time, and if they don't expand, they will continue to live a hard life in the mountains, which is cruel to the Kai samurai who have seen the world of flowers and flowers outside the mountains, and it is more important than whether the young master is wronged or not.

Takeda Shingen urgently transferred Suwa Shiro Katsuyori back from Suwa Prefecture, and renamed it Takeda Katsuyori as the heir to the family governor, and Takeda Shinshihiro also rushed back from Suwa County to ask Takeda Shingen to let Taro Yoshinobu go, and it was very unreasonable for the sister-in-law to be arrested and placed under house arrest for an inexplicable reason, and Takeda Shinshihiro didn't believe that his nephew would do something rebellious.

"Brother, please listen to me!" Takeda Shinhiro pleaded: "Taro is a good boy, he will never betray his brother and betray the Takeda family, His Majesty thinks that there must be some misunderstanding in this, please give Taro a chance to explain." ”

"The family also knows that Taro may have been wronged, but the retainers of the spectrum have joined forces to report Taro for rebellion, and the evidence is conclusive, so that the governor of the family is helpless!" Takeda Shingen could only say perfunctorily: "Xinfan, rest assured, Taro is the sister-in-law of the family, and he will not let him be wronged!" It just so happens that I have a plan to discuss with you......"

Of course, Takeda Nobuyoshi would not believe Takeda Shingen's words, but he was stopped by the heavily guarded samurai outside Toko Temple, and the powerful people couldn't even see Takeda Yoshinobu's face, and in the past few days, he was running around in the Tsuyamazaki Pavilion to appeal for even a person who was willing to speak, and his heart was half cold, and it was obvious that this was a conspiracy between the family governor and the pedigree to betray, but the betrayer changed from his father Takeda Shintora to his nephew Takeda Yoshinobu.

Takeda Nobuhiro has always been known for his loyalty and righteousness, but he can't do anything in the face of his brother's betrayal again, if he still participated in the betrayal of Takeda Shinhu last time, this betrayal he is just an outsider watching the changes, the Takeda family unknowingly lowered their bottom line in the betrayal again and again, Takeda Nobuyoshi even has a delusion, maybe his brother will be betrayed one day sooner or later.

Can't save his nephew and don't dare to save his nephew, Takeda Nobuyo's frustration is beyond words, there is only so much that a member of the spectrum can do. Just when he smashed the proposal to release Yoshinobu Takeda. He had already noticed that his brother's eyes were filled with deep jealousy. The reputation of the commander of the army who repeatedly blocked Sanada Yutaka had already given him a lot of prestige in his family, and the relationship between the brothers was already very thin, because of the power and prestige, the relationship between the two brothers became more and more delicate.

Takeda Shingen took the opportunity to introduce him to the plan of invasion of Suruga that was being perfected, and intended to let him serve as the first general to lead the army of 5,000 to conquer Suruga, Takeda Nobuyoshi had no way to resist this change of military power deprivation, and could only watch as Baba Nobuharu and Sone Masayo dismembered the hundred battle army he matched, leaving him only with the original team of the Takekawa people and some of the Kuniren army who fled from Shinano.

Just when the Hojo clan sent out a request for help, Takeda Shingen also took the opportunity to restore the Sagami Hojo clan. He was informed that he had exposed the Imagawa family and his sister-in-law's conspiracy against the Takeda family, and was determined to crusade against the mediocre Imagawa clan, and invited the Hojo family to take this opportunity to join him in hunting for the Suruga Imagawa clan in Suruga Province.

The Hojo clan almost fainted when he received the autographed document from Takeda Shingen, he dared to swear to the gods and Buddhas that he had never seen such a brazen family governor, and he even blatantly acted against another hardcore ally, and he could also make a proposal to their family to divide the Suruga country with a shy face, which was simply a violation of the sacred contract of the Triple Alliance of Kokoko, and it was a blatant provocation to the deep-rooted in-law Suruga Imagawa clan, which was slapping the face of the Sagami Hojo clan, and the face of the Hojo clan was blurred by the flesh and blood of this paper document.

Hojo Shiyasu, who lives in seclusion in Odawara Castle and does not care about the world, is also very angry. He had long been aware of the unstable situation in the Takeda family, but he had always felt that his precious son-in-law, the Imagawa clan, could really withstand the pressure. In addition, the deterrent power of the Hojo family is enough to hear about the temporary crisis of the Imagawa family, but he didn't expect Kira Yoshitoki to attack his Hojo family, and how could he get it when the 65,000 troops gathered in Kanto.

The Hojo family's genealogy retainers were already panicked, and when they heard that Takeda Shingen had taken advantage of the Hojo family's crisis, he had treacherously attacked his ally Imagawa family, and the territory of the Izu fourteen family was only a stone's throw away from the east side of Suruga, which caused a mass commotion among the Izu people after Takeda Shingen announced his invasion of Suruga.

The Hojo clan said indignantly: "Takeda Shingen wolf son ambition! In the past few years, I must have coveted the territory of the Imagawa family, and this time I took advantage of the army of the Kira family to go south to Kanto to seize Suruga Province, and my Hojo family must not let go of Takeda Shingen! ”

"I can't let go of the thieves of the Takeda family! Letting them attack Suruga would mean the complete collapse of the Triple Alliance, and the Takeda family's blood loss from Suruga would pose a great threat to the border security of our Hojo family. The old Matsuda Morihide said: "No matter how hard it is, you have to send troops to support the Imagawa family!" ”

"But the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us, Uesugi Bullet is entering the Imperial Castle with an army of 45,000 troops, and its southern invasion has been revealed, how can we resist the great chaos on both sides?" Dadao Temple Masato said worriedly: "The Kira family is menacing, and its meaning is self-evident, and the allies of Kanto pretend to be deaf and dumb have put my Hojo family into unprecedented passivity!" ”

The meaning of the Daido Temple is very simple, at this time it is the moment when the Sagami Hojo clan is in an unprecedented crisis, rashly aiding Suruga is likely to fall into a deep quagmire, and it is definitely not a good choice to start a war with the Takeda family in Suruga, not to mention that all the interests of the Hojo family are in the Kanto, it is a trouble for Suruga to fight down, and if they can't fight, they will face the crisis that Izu is directly threatened by the military threat of the Takeda family.

What's more, the main force of the Hojo family is now afraid to move lightly for a moment, for fear that the elusive Kira army will not know from what tricky angle to kill in front of them, at this time, it is an act that outweighs the losses no matter how you look at it, and as the governor of the family, he should put the overall situation on the Kira invasion army of Musashi Province.

Hojo Masasa's face is very ugly, the position and starting point of the family governor and the genealogy retainers are completely different, and he has to admit that what the Daido Temple Masashi said is very reasonable, but politics is not an immutable consideration of interests, and there are also changes in the influence of various parties such as reputation, morale, and prestige.

In his opinion, face is even more important than interests, and the Takeda family dared to shamelessly invite him to hunt in Suruga together, which is equivalent to pulling the face of the Hojo family against the wall, and the more excessive thing than slapping the face is probably to this extent, if the Hojo family chooses to pinch their noses and admit it, what will the Hojo clan be the governor of the family in the future that makes so many genealogies feel convinced.

The most important thing as a family governor is personal prestige and the convincing degree of the retainers, the prestige of the noble family governor can be arbitrary and still able to feel convinced by the retainers, the prestige of the family governor is not enough to be suppressed, puppeted, exiled and even assassinated by the genealogy of the outside of the family is also everywhere, far away there are Kamakura shogunate Minamoto Yoriya, Minamoto Dynasty two tragedies, close to Ashikaga Yoshikyo, Ashikaga Yoshisai, Ashikaga Yoshiharu and many other tragedies.

The shogun's family could not survive being exiled and killed by the puppets of his retainers, not to mention the fact that these low-level daimyo people were repeatedly defeated and died in the turmoil at home, and the Hojo family was proud of nothing more than the unity of Sagami-Izu's retainers and the exemplary leading role of the Koshojun Triple Alliance comparable to various covenants.

When the Triple Alliance of the First Shogun was facing the crisis of breaking the alliance, the Hojo clan could not even keep his brother-in-law and in-law cousin Imagawa Shin, and it was too humiliating to be forcibly dismembered by others in front of his allies. Jiang Xuezhai went to Junfu to communicate with Imagawa Criminal Department Hall about relevant assistance. ”

Itabe Okae Yukisai got up and agreed, and the Hojo family's genealogy retainers were also affected by the proposal of the old family governor and fell into a short period of thought, and many of the genealogy retainers present quickly figured out the key to it, and Yamato Harunto said thoughtfully: "The enemy is now, and the house is like ordering the Izu people to go to the rescue of the Imagawa Punishment Department, is it ......" (to be continued......
