Kira Yoshitoki didn't intend to give the Hojo family a chance to beg for peace, and pretended to ponder for a moment, but in fact he was secretly laughing at the Hojo family's delaying tactics, all the Hojo family wanted was a temporary truce in order to deal with the contradictions within the Triple Alliance, but he didn't need to cooperate with the Hojo family's strategy at all.

Musashi Province and Sagami Province have never been the hereditary domain of the Hojo family, and the destruction of the Uesugi family by the Ogiya family means that these two countries have no lord in name, and it is impossible for the Hojo family to go to the shogunate to protect it, this is the first move of Kira Yoshishi to deal with the Hojo family, and if the invasion without legal power is not recognized by the shogunate, he can take the opportunity to use means to take it and use it for his own use.

Previously, his ambitions for Musashi were almost undisguised, so he did not hesitate to kill as a threat and immigrated as a means to make a big move within Musashi, and he didn't even worry about whether these scattered villagers would make a fuss in Echigo, and he didn't care how much public security harm and bad impact it would cause to Echigo, the only thing he wanted to do was to swallow Musashi Country in one bite and digest it in the fastest way, and it seems that the best way to do it is to migrate immigrants to complete a big blood exchange.

The significance of the annexation of Musashi is self-evident, and if he wants to establish the core position of the Kanto region as the center of the government, it is a radiation zone centered on Musashi, and if you look back at the Kanto region with this political purpose, you will find that the Sagami Province and the Hojo clan across the Tokaido are very eye-catching.

As a young man with ambition, ambition, strategy and means, Kira Yoshitoki also has the dream of dominating the Kanto region, but the interpretation of the former and the latter is different. The former governor of the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu, aimed at the Kanto governor. And Kira Yoshitoki aimed at the Kanto Prince.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and they are stronger than the head and the head are all on the Ashikaga family, even if the Hojo clan Yasu is extraordinary, there is a group of genealogical retainers who are conscientious and meticulous, and they have the excellent ability to completely destroy all the people of the Kanto region in internal affairs, and the perfection of the law is even more than the eighteen streets of the people of the Kanto country, but it is still much worse than the rapid development of Kira Yoshishi in Echigo.

This gap is not something that can be made up by a few more famous generals or tens of thousands of troops, and due to the lack of a broader vision due to the limitations of the times, the Sagami Hojo clan is completely backward from the Ashikaga family in many aspects such as politics, economy, military and even system. As a result, the Hojo clan suddenly discovered that the enemy who was originally only stronger than himself was actually an illusion, and the gap between the two sides had gradually widened to the extent that it was enough to crush in the changes over the years.

Kira Yoshitoki must not let the Hojo clan be the lord of Sagami happily, which is very different from treating the Kai Takeda clan, after all, Sagami has Kamakura, the capital of samurai, and the Miura Peninsula is still the only way to pass through Tokaido, and Kai is just a poor ravine and a group of poor samurai with a bad temper and a hard temper.

Trying his best to deal with a difficult Takeda family, the final spoils of war were only Kai in a poor ravine, and the effort and gain were completely disproportionate, and the purpose of sending troops to the Kanto to fight the Hojo clan was to fight for the dominance of the Kanto region, and to seize the ownership of Musashi Province and more territories. In this process, it was inevitable that there would be a violent conflict with the Hojo clan, and since it was already a hostile relationship, there was no question of secondary offense.

Therefore, Kira Yoshitoki can let go for the time being, and has completely abandoned the interests of Shinano Province. At present, there is only a potential conflict of interests between the Kai Takeda clan, but he can't easily let go of the Sagami Hojo clan, which is currently a serious conflict of interests, because he doesn't want to commit the stupid thing of fighting a snake and not dying without causing endless trouble, of course, this article can also be substituted for Kai Takeda clan, Settsu Miyoshi clan and other samurai.

"The meaning of His Royal Highness Yu is probably already clear, but Yu's recent schedule is relatively tight......" Ji Liangyi looked a little embarrassed.

Chaoshan Richeng immediately realized: "Then let the poor monk take His Royal Highness to convey it!" ”

Honda Shimasa said: "His Majesty thinks that the Sagami Hojo clan was originally the elder of the Imagawa clan, and he was a loyal minister of the shogunate when he entered Izu Province to quell the chaos decades ago, but the world is in turmoil, and the Hojo clan has left the control of the shogunate like a wild horse, and in recent years, he has repeatedly violated the orders of the shogunate and invaded the Sagami country and destroyed the Kanto samurai, and his behavior should be punished for seriously violating the shogunate's edicts." ”

"His Royal Highness the Shogunate has been ordered by the Shogunate to enter the Eastern Province to control the troubles and chaos that have arisen in various places, with the aim of restoring peace and stability in the Kanto region, and urging all the people of the country to respect the Shogunate and unite under the banner of the Ashikaga family to fight against the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the Hojo clan is precisely the samurai who have committed the most crimes among them, and it should also be within the crusade sequence......"

Nangangkafang paused for a moment and said: "However, after all, this Hojo family is a minister promoted by the shogunate, and there is still a certain particularity, it is better to let it quit Sagami and return to the Izu country, and His Royal Highness can give the Hojo clan Izu the ability to block it." ”

"That's a great idea! Let's do it with this strategy! Kira Yoshitoki said with a smile: "Yu believes that Hojo Sagami Shouden will be able to understand Yu's hard work." ”

The Kwantung samurai here all understand that this extremely harsh opinion is absolutely impossible for the Hojo clan to accept, Kira Yoshitoki has shown with his actions that he will never accept the Hojo clan's compromise attitude, I just want to beat you to death with a stick and never give you any respite, if you are unwilling, you can come and beat me!

……

In June, the Kai climate is humid and muggy, and the Kambashi River and Fuebuki River, which have not changed for thousands of years, will step on time to break out floods on time in the summer, and the pressure of survival forces the farmers of Kai to keep watch on the embankment day and night and continue to pile up earth and rocks, and the frequent flooding is the biggest enemy of Kai, and every time the embankment bursts, it will cause heavy losses to the Kai Basin, and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters is also the reason why the Kai samurai are eager to get rid of it.

Since the successive failures of the Kai Takeda clan in Shinano to the Kamiki Ashikaga family, the momentum of the Takeda family has taken a sharp turn in the past few years, and the family genealogy retainers have become more and more resentful of the successive failures, although no one has dared to challenge the authority of Takeda Shingen, the family governor, in private, but in private, the discord between the genealogy and retainers has become deeper and deeper, and all Takeda Shingen's hardcore pedigrees have been questioned. The indirect pressure on Takeda Shingen made him very uncomfortable.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is not difficult to understand the truth that it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. But most people are mortals who eat grains after all. Neither sages nor eminent monks always have to face many unavoidable problems, in the actual distribution of interests inevitably have to fall into the problems encountered by the mundane, such as the original 10,000 stones, but now reduced to 5,000 stones, in the past can be fed and clothed, often have to eat a meal but not a meal, let their genealogy retainers suffer is not to highlight whether this family governor is very unlevel.

Under this pressure, Takeda Shingen was forced to make a change, and when he suffered losses in Shinano Province to the north, he couldn't defeat the arrogant and domineering Kira Yoshi, so he forced Takeda Shingen to go south to bully his in-laws, the Suruga Imagawa clan, but the problem was that his baby son Takeda Yoshinobu was opposed to both north and south. Takeda Shingen gradually realized that his sister-in-law who had worked so hard to cultivate had become a stumbling block to him, and you can imagine his complicated and annoyed mood at that time.

In particular, Takeda Yoshinobu's wife is the daughter of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the relationship between Takeda Yoshinobu and Imagawa Shin is still a brother-in-law and eldest brother, and the in-law relationship between the two families is also one of the two mountains of Takeda, Anayama Nobuyoshi as an intermediary threading the needle, such a complex relationship network has penetrated into the Takeda family, causing great psychological pressure on Takeda Shingen.

Imprisoning Takeda Yoshinobu to deal with the "remnants of the party" is only the first step, dealing with these people is just a preliminary unification of voices at home, and more importantly, suppressing the Anayama clan of the Takeda Liangshan system, Takeda Shingen successively sent several messengers to investigate whether the Anayama clan was involved in the Takeda Yoshinobu rebellion incident, and then Takeda Yoshinobu rebelled and strictly ordered Koyamada and Anayama to immediately hand over the affidavit.

At a glance, Anayama Nobuyuki knew that the governor was dissatisfied with the attitude of both ends of his head and rat. He was not wrong in what he expected, and at the beginning of June, the investigating samurai of the Takeda family suddenly said that Nobuka Anayama had a major suspicion. It is very likely that it is the conspiracy involved in the rebellion of Takeda Yoshinobu, and this Anayama Hikohachiro Nobuka is not the existence of a cat and a dog, but the younger brother of the leader of the Hanoi people, Anayama Mutsu Nobuyokun.

The samurai of the Takeda family suddenly accused the Anayama family of being involved in the rebellion, and immediately ordered the Anayama family to hand over the rebel Anayama Hikohachiro Nobuka, and Anayama Nobuyan also knew that his younger brother was not involved in the so-called rebellion at all, and even the rebellion itself did not exist at all.

The reason for dealing with the Anayama family is nothing more than that their clan has been close to Imagawa for a long time, because the Kawachi clan is located in the southwest of Kai Province and the border with Suruga Province, and a few decades ago, the Kamiyama clan personally served as the leader of the Imagawa clan to invade Kai, although it was quickly retaliated by Takeda Shintora and came back to kill the governor of the Anayama family, but this Liangzi inevitably became deeper and deeper, so that the name of the kinship was actually an old grudge and old enemy.

For a period of time after the Takeda Yoshinobu rebellion, Anayama Nobuyoshi always maintained an ambiguous wait-and-see posture or angered Takeda Shingen, and at this time, Takeda Shingen was not at all something that Anayama Shingen could fight, especially when Takeda Shingen had sent the vanguard troops into Suruga Province, and Anayama Shinjun was very worried that he would be exterminated by the Takeda army passing by if he didn't open his eyes.

The genealogies of the Takeda family are anxious to have no place to grab land and goods, and if Nobuyan really dares to rebel, it will definitely attract the siege of the Kai samurai, anyway, these genealogies are basically involved in the handling of the "Takeda Yoshinobu" rebellion, as the accomplices of the conspiracy, they naturally exclude all the vassals who did not participate in the rebellion, and Takeda Shingen took the opportunity of the success of this conspiracy to hijack the opportunity of the entire genealogy retainers to regain the throne of the family governor.

The so-called unity is a high sense of identity of a common experience, whether it is a common interest, a common experience or a common ambition are the same, complicity or accomplice is also the resonance of similar experiences in a sense, there is this resonance to have a sense of identity and the so-called unity foundation, and then give more benefits to the conspiracy in order to maintain this unity for a long time, twenty years ago Takeda Shingen did this to establish nearly twenty years of stable rule, and now he is just sitting on the side again.

Anayama Nobuyuki is afraid of Takeda Shingen from the bottom of his heart, so he can only reluctantly hand over his brother Anayama Shinka, Anayama Hikohachiro Shinka is claustrophobic in the Yanshan Jiuyuan Temple and soon killed himself, Anayama Shinjun was scared and couldn't sleep at night, and hurriedly wrote many oaths and sent them to the Kushizaki Pavilion on a fast horse, repeatedly saying that his loyalty to Takeda Shingen can be seen by the sun and the moon, and in order to save his life, he did not hesitate to say a bunch of sycophants who would never be mentioned in the past to keep him safe.

There is a lesson from the past of Anayama Nobuyo-kun. Nobushige Koyamada, who was also shot while lying down, was also forced to bow his head and write affidavits one by one. And after Anayama Nobuyojun expressed his enthusiasm for sending troops and food. He expressed his willingness to take the lead in the invasion of Suruga by the Takeda Army's main camp, and with the guarantee of these two people, he further consolidated Takeda Shingen's control over Kai.

You must know that in the past, these two families have been wandering outside, relying on the fact that when the territory is large, they often use the county division to make it difficult for the Takeda family, and they want money and food, and they don't want enough soldiers, in short, they don't want to push three or forty points unpleasantly, this Takeda Yoshinobu rebellion incident not only cleaned up the two big problems, but also incidentally achieved the purpose of improving the centripetal force within the Kai country in the short term, of course, how much hidden danger it will bring in the long term is not manageable for the time being.

An even more bizarre thing soon appeared, the day after Nobuya Anayama of Kuyuan Temple killed himself. Takeda Yoshinobu, who was claustrophobic in Tokoji Temple, also suddenly killed himself, and ended his short life journey of only twenty-four years with one death, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks existed, it meant that the Kai Takeda clan was about to completely change the sky.

The impact of Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion did not end there, and Takeda Yoshinobu's wife, Imagawa Ryo Matsuin, was sent back to Suruga, representing the breaking of the alliance between the Takeda clan and the Imagawa clan.

Takeda Nobuyoshi, who was stationed in Hanoi County, received an official order to go into battle, and the 5,000 troops invaded Suruga Province with lightning speed, and Takeda Shingen, as the commander-in-chief, also led 11,000 troops to follow into Suruga Province at this time. For a time, the main force of the Takeda Army gathered more than 16,000 people.

Takeda Shingen's strategy is not inferior to Maori Yuan, and his scheming is inferior to Matsunaga Shu. The Imperial Majesty's wrist is even more difficult for these two to beat, so at the same time that Takeda Shingen's main formation was set up in the inner room, a penetrating ninja army composed of more than 100 people easily bypassed the surveillance of the Imagawa army and successfully crossed the border of the armor army and entered the heart of Suruga Province.

They were given the first task of fanning the flames to create panic and chaos in the Sunhouse, and through the fact that the ninjas gradually explored a more mature and stealthy intelligence tactic after several reorganizations, this team of more than 100 people was soon scattered in the castle towns of the main cities of Suruga Province, creating all kinds of rumors about the crisis encountered by the Imagawa family.

It is rumored that Takeda Shingen's plan to go out this time is to get the support of Kira Yoshitoki, and will lead all the troops in Kai Province to invade Suruga Province with about 30,000 main forces, and it is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the Takeda family will act on the Imagawa family at the same time when the Kira army invades Kanto, and there are some good people who say vividly how the Takeda army is approaching the city, and the vanguard they encounter is still the main force of the famous Takeda Stable Hall.

Within a few days, these rumors fermented into even more terrible rumors, and even most of the low-ranking samurai in Sunfu believed that they were true, and the townspeople at the lower levels became even more agitated, and then a terrible rumor spread that the samurai of Kai lived in the mountains and fields for a long time, and that if they were allowed to enter Sunpu Castle, they would inevitably take the townspeople under heavy raids according to the old practice, and even capture and sell the rebels to the mountains to mine.

Stimulated by this rumor, on July 8, the townspeople began to take refuge in Sunfu with their families and belongings on flatbed carts.

The next morning, the speed of the rumor walk suddenly increased by a few notches, and gradually more and more residents fled with their families, many townspeople helped the old and the young to move out of Sunpu Castle, and the merchants were also affected by the war, selling goods cheaply, closing their shops, and even pawning their own houses to prepare to run away.

At this time, the Imagawa clan also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the concentric people of the Jun Mansion to immediately go around to catch the rumor spreaders, spending a lot of effort to catch a group of small fish and shrimp It was not much use at all, and the big fish that was really hidden behind it had already hidden in an unknown place to secretly observe the situation.

After a surprise interrogation, it was discovered that he was doing useless work, and the Imagawa clan ordered the samurai to post notices in the most conspicuous places in each town: "Kai Takeda Shingen is greedy for the abundant water and soil of the East China Sea, and killed his retainers in vain by killing his son-in-law with his own selfishness, and now he has torn up the Triple Alliance oath and invaded our Suruga without permission, and his evil heart is known to the world." The rumors that have been circulating recently are all chasing after the wind, and they should not be credulous, let alone spread without authorization. From now on, there will be people who leave Junfu without permission. He will be punished by the congregation. ”

The townspeople of Sunfu were blocked from leaving, but this paper document could not help him get out of the predicament of the Imagawa family, let alone deter the crumbling panic like a strong wind blowing, and the purpose of breaking through the rumors released by the ninjas had basically been achieved, after all, they were just ninjas who did intelligence work, and as long as the townspeople of Sunfu Town fell into a state of panic, the primary purpose of the operation had been completed.

After the Imagawa clan issued a blockade order restricting the exit of the country, on July 10, the townspeople in Sunfu Town, who had not had time to escape, began to complain about the unreasonable lord, and although the rumors were forbidden to circulate, their influence was not cut by half. Gradually, the townspeople began to believe that these rumors were true, and some voices of distrust of the Imagawa clan and the Imagawa clan gradually spread among the townspeople, and this adverse effect gradually penetrated into the samurai class in Sunpu Castle, and many lower-ranking samurai were confused and shaken to varying degrees.

Although this small fire was quickly extinguished, it was probably a minor accident in itself, but as the rumors fermented and soon turned into a terrible hint, the panicked hearts of the people fell into a deeper falter, and soon some good people walked around the Takeda family and secretly sneaked into the Sunfu to wait for the opportunity to destroy it, and claimed that there would be a fire tonight. The main force of the Takeda Army has appeared within the borders of Suruga Province.

Rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are more and more participants, and the reason why the law does not hold the public accountable is that there are many participants to a certain extent. Punishment has become a complete departure from a certain class, which forces the Imagawa clan to dare not use strong means to punish again, and always hesitate to know what to do better.

The weakness of the lord of the country proved from the side that the Imagawa family was incompetent, which made the rumors soar at a geometric speed, and at this time the Imagawa clan was really shocked to receive the news, at this time he was angry that Matsudaira Ieyasu, the rebel of Mikawa Province, killed his good brother-in-law Yoshiyasu, so he sent an order to Okabe Motonobu to lead a 5,000-strong army against Mikawa Matsudaira Ieyasu, and before the army left Suruga Province, he found that the relationship was becoming more and more sinister Takeda Shingen and brought 16,000 troops to the door.

This can make the Imagawa clan really anxious, seeing the sister Ryomatsuin who was sent back at the same time crying and complaining to him, saying that her father-in-law Takeda Shingen had all kinds of vicious actions towards his sister-in-law Takeda Yoshinobu, and the angry Imagawa clan trembled and kept cursing Takeda Shingen, a vicious samurai who attacked his son, could not die well.

At the same time, two brothers-in-law in the west and north were killed at the same time, the brother-in-law of Mikawa Province Kira Yoshiyasu was killed by Matsudaira Ieyasu, the rebel of the Imagawa family, and the brother-in-law of Kai Province, Takeda Yoshinobu, was killed by the vicious tiger Takeda Shingen.

The lesser of two evils, the Imagawa clan really first had to weigh which of the two hatreds had the greatest impact on him, and finally weighed the pros and cons and felt that the invasion of the Takeda army in front of him was more dangerous, so he immediately stopped Okabe Motonobu's military momentum in the Mikawa country, and turned around and went north to assist the main force of Suruga to flank the main force of the Takeda army.

And the Imagawa family of Junfu sent 10,000 troops by the genealogy of the family elders, Anyuan Anfang Shou Zhongyin served as the general to meet the invading Takeda army, this Anyuan Tadashi is a fellow clan of Taiyuan Xuezhai, on the relationship also to call the late Taiyuan Xuezhai an uncle, its own ability can only be described as ordinary, high is not low, there is not too much outstanding performance, Imagawa really used him more is to strust the trust of the Taiyuan Xuezhai clan.

This kind of behavior can still be said from a reasonable point of view, but as the governor of the Suruga Imagawa clan, he blindly acted emotionally in the appointment of the commander of the first army, and decided the choice of the general who was crucial to the prosperity and decline of fortune based on personal preferences, and it was a very dangerous move to choose a samurai who did not have the talent of the general or even the talent of an excellent general, so that he could neither convince the talented samurai nor lead the Imagawa army to win the war.

The dissent within the Imagawa army was not really highly valued by the Imagawa clan, and he didn't even know that there had been a group of samurai who were ready to defect in the Imagawa retainers' regiment, just like the Takeda family would always have rebellious ministers like Anayama and Koyamada.

In the midst of this invisible crisis, the main force of the Takeda Army had already arrived at the inner room of Iguchi in Anwara County, Suruga Province, just before his departure, and Anwara Tadashi, as the commander-in-chief, hurriedly gathered the 5,000 troops of Okabe Motoshin and assembled them into a 15,000-strong army to set up a formation in Satado Pass, putting on a confrontational posture that I would never take the initiative to attack whether you rushed over or not.
