A lamentation song was sung repeatedly, the sad and mournful tune was like crying, and when I saw and heard that all the soldiers were sad and wept, Takeda Shingen suddenly smiled: "Listen! That's the sound of Ninomaru being attacked, and my life is coming to an end! ”

Takasaka Masanobu cried: "My lord! Let your subordinates take a step ahead of the lord and explore the Huangquan Road for the lord! When this body goes, it is still there, crossing the breeze and crossing the water, but the bright moon is still in the sky......"

After the resignation sentence was sung, Takasaka Masanobu pulled out the ribs and stabbed into the lower abdomen, and suddenly the blood was spilled on the spot, and the beautiful dancer fell softly, and the horse farm Shinbo walked to Takasaka Masanobu's body and knelt down, and said quietly: "The lord's kindness to my letter house cannot be repaid in this life, so please let your subordinates follow the lord and go to the Yellow Spring to continue to be the lord's loyal minister!" Swallowing the sword and abandoning the famous bow, I can only watch this gust of wind. ”

At the moment when the death song ended, Baba Shinbo also committed suicide by raising his ribs and cutting his abdomen, and the blood splashed everywhere to witness the disappearance of an excellent samurai, Takeda Shingen sighed: "It's okay, I'm not alone with you after all...... At the end of the day, you can't leave a sentence, so I'll have a paragraph too! ”

Slowly pulled out the ribs to come to Guojun, holding the familiar blade in both hands, and whispered: "This body and this bone return to heaven and earth, do not get red dust, and be alone ......"

When Takeda Shinhiro walked into the courtyard, he saw Takeda Shingen's body kneeling under the porch, still holding his hands and stabbing Lai Guojun into the lower abdomen, his face was full of relief without the slightest regret, and a famous general who had been in the limelight for nearly 30 years disappeared.

Takeda Nobuyhiro slowly walked to the corpse and knelt down and sighed, "Brother farewell......"

Just three days after Takeda Shingen killed himself, Takeda Katsuyori failed at the key mountain castle cage castle. More than 300 people under his subordinate department all killed themselves in the city. Nobuyoshi Takeda announced the pacification of Kai Province in the Kusaki Pavilion. On the same day, he served as the governor of the Takeda family, and his son Takeda Nobutoshi became the heir to the governor of the Takeda family.

In the next few days, according to the edict of Sanada Yutakaka, Takeda Nobuyoshi, and Satake Yoshishige, the three of them rewarded Kai for many merits and demerits of the countrymen who surrendered to Kai, and there were dozens of Kai samurai families who were wiped out. Most of them were samurai raised by Takeda Shingen, and the above samurai were sentenced to change the sentence, and the captives who insisted on resisting until the last moment were also punished according to this example, and their leaders were taken away, and the family was transferred to the Mutsu Province to open the mountain and dig stones.

If you have a meritorious service, Oyamada Nobushige and Anayama Nobuyo, who served as the leading party, were rewarded, and the two families were increased to 50,000 stones, and Oyamada Nobushige was assigned to the first class of the Sakato Hachihei clan, and was transferred to the northern part of Shimono Province as a general of the imperial family, and Anayama Nobujun was transferred to Minami Shinano Kiso Valley. As the new lord of Kiso Valley, the rest of the generals were rewarded with skills and a small amount of additional seals according to their merits.

It is the end of May when the matter in the Kai Kingdom is to be dealt with. In addition to Takeda Shingen, who attacked Kai Province, the 100,000 army led by him galloped all the way to Suruga Province, Enoe Province, and Mikawa Province, and with the assistance of servant troops along the way, captured Owari Province, the old nest of the Oda family, Owari Province.

The early betrayal of the Suruga ancestors led by Asahina Shinji and Miura Yoshikagami, the Takeda family, which was already weak, stabbed a fatal knife in the back, as early as a few years ago in the Kanto Shogunate's era, was transferred by Yamamoto Kansuke to become an internal response, and in recent years, on the surface, the Kanto Shogun's Mansion has not moved, and he has been bent on dealing with the rebellion of Oshu and Kanto, but in fact, he has already hollowed out the foundation of Suruga Province in private.

The same is true of the Enoe Kingdom, where the Chiefs of Toe such as Horikoshi Sadanobu, Iio Renryu, and Amano Keikun also became the internal response of the Kanto region early, and the Mikawa Ancestors do not need to be repeated, just by virtue of the dominance of the Kanto generals from Mikawa in the Eastern Kingdom, it is enough to kill all the excellent lords in seconds, such as Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and the like, there is no way to gain their sincere allegiance.

This is equivalent to the Takeda family's hard work for a few years to lay down Junyuansan, just to make wedding clothes for Yuanyi, the more effort invested in Junyuansan, the heavier the loss of Kai, these years Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga have always been difficult to do their best to fight for the Mikawa country, which is the reason why the three ancestors of Junyuan are dragging behind.

Such a delay allowed the Takeda family to fight a tug-of-war in Mikawa Province for four years, which of course had the reason for the superiority of the Oda family's power, but after all, the Kai samurai were not comparable to the weak soldiers of Owari, even if many strong soldiers were trained during the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Nono, it still could not change the basic characteristics of the relatively weak military strength of the Tokaido.

Takeda Shingen was very confident in seizing Mikawa Country, and even captured Owari Country in one go, but it was a waste of four years in such a good situation, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no problem, three or five months may not be aware of internal problems, and after a long time, I can still feel that there is something wrong with Junyuan San, Kinoshita Hideyoshi used this to persuade Takeda Shingen, which is also the main reason why Takeda Shingen finally agreed to Oda Nobunaga's agreement not to fight.

The so-called bystander Qing authorities are fascinated, when Takeda Shingen found that even his opponent found that he had hidden dangers inside, only to realize that the domination system of the four countries was far more fragile than imagined, for the many contradictions within Junyuan San, Takeda Shingen could not use many methods for a while, too radical means could not be used, and the conventional Huairou methods were used for four years, and the effect was not satisfactory depending on the situation.

Then the only way to use the simplest and rude method is to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, but this chicken is not easy to find, it is not possible to find a powerful countryman in the Junyuan three system, I am worried that this will further stimulate the three kingdoms to fight against the chaos, not to mention that the Suruga country is only separated from the Sagami country by a foot handle mountain, in case the monster of Genyishi is recruited, then isn't it Takeda Shingen sucking his mouth, this kind of stupid thing can't be done.

Since you can't move the ancestors, you can only move your own people, and at the same time when Oda Nobunaga solved his worries and led the army to support the general Kamiraku, Takeda Shingen also thought hard for a long time after meditating. Make an amazing decision. Captured and defended Suruga Province for a long time in Sunfu Castle. And the far-reaching influence of his younger brother Takeda Nobuyoshi in Suruga Province started.

From claustrophobia to attempted killing, it fully shows Takeda Shingen's true thoughts, as long as he forces Takeda Shinfan to death, even if he dies in the end, the descendants of the Takeda family can inherit the family after all, and it doesn't matter if Takeda Shingen is too useless, Takeda Shingen has many sons, and it's a big deal that he will exchange his death for the opportunity for one of his sons to inherit the Takeda family business. As long as Takeda Nobuyoshi dies, there is a great chance.

It's a pity that Takeda Shingen finally reaped only failure, Takeda Shinshihiro is no longer the loyal brother of the past, the relationship between the brothers has been estranged for more than ten years, and the most valued nephew Takeda Yoshinobu was wrongfully imprisoned, which indirectly led to the estrangement between the two brothers getting deeper and deeper, and he also hesitated in the few months he was imprisoned in Shandeji Temple, until the appearance of his father Takeda Shinhu shattered his last hesitation.

So when Takeda Shingen took back his ribs from Mieda Moritomo and learned that Takeda Nobuyoshi was with his father Takeda Shintora and said something like that, he already knew very clearly that his retreat was over. There is only one dead end in front of him, counting on the so-called Western Army to be like a fool's dream. Yuan Yishi clearly laid out the early layout for him to drill into his pocket, how could he let him escape calmly.

Owari Province Kiyoshu Castle Ohiroma, Oda Nobunaga in the main office of the Owari period, Ashikaga Yoshiyasu quietly listened to the discussion of the retainers, his father Genyoshitoki personally supervised the war in Komaki Mountain Castle, the young governor of Motofu has the qualifications to participate in government affairs, and his progress is also very fast these days.

Honda Shimasa said with a smile: "Takeda Shingen must have had deep regret in his heart until the moment he died!" The bet that came close to success came back with a dismal losing outfit. ”

Glancing at Takeda Nobuyoshi, who had just joined the Imperial Judgment Public, Kitabatake said: "I overestimate my own strength, you must know that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will eventually fail, since my Ashikaga family unified the eastern country, the samurai family of Tokaido have secretly turned their hearts to Kanto, Takeda Shingen knows this very well, but he always doesn't want to believe that the family business he has worked hard for many years is just a flash in the pan." ”

On the surface, it seems that Takeda Nobuyoshi is unmoved by the evaluation of his new colleagues and his brother, but in fact, no one can say whether he will be unhappy, at least Takeda Shintora who accompanies everyone is not very happy, no matter how ugly his son is, he doesn't like to be said by others, but it is not easy to argue, and the old man who is over seventy years old can only sulk.

Sanada Yutaka made a round and said: "The deceased is gone, and the death is great, so you should discuss the strategy of the East China Sea!" ”

"Tokaido is like a piece of paper, the so-called Western Army is a plate of scattered sand, the vanguard of 50,000 troops stopped Owari Province and did not advance, and when I saw our army killed, I retreated back to Mino, if it wasn't for Oda Nobunaga coming in time, this joint battle would not have to continue to fight, or I would have pushed all the way into Kyoto."

"The current situation seems to be similar, if it had been launched a few years earlier, maybe I would have been sitting in Kyoto today as an important minister of the shogunate!" The ministers laughed wantonly, completely ignoring the so-called Western Army, they have the confidence to make such a statement, judging from the current performance of the Western Army, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as clumsy.

At the end of March, the troops were raised to Shangluo, and the Hokuriku Province, the Higashiyama Road, and the Tokaido Province were launched at the same time, especially the Tokaido and the Dongshan Road gathered 170,000 troops, which really scared the Kai samurai who had never seen a big scene, but the actual situation was that Junyuan Sanwang surrendered from the wind, and in less than a month's effort, he bulldozed the three territories of the Tokaido, during which there was almost no decent battle broke out and entered the stage of sweeping and cleaning up the remnants.

After that, the 70,000 army besieged Kai for nearly a month, it was just that Yuan Yishi hoped to reduce casualties, borrowed the general trend of the army to crush the territory, fully adjusted the Takeda family tree to represent the people, and used the way to disintegrate the last trace of the Takeda family's hatred and hatred from the inside, this set of strategies was very successful, and advanced all the way to almost zero casualties to kill the Kai country.

The whole process went smoothly, as if it was just a routine task of the Kwantung Army to pacify the civil strife in the eastern country, but in fact, many of the preparations behind this were complicated and lasted for many years, such as the Chichibu clan of the Banto Yahei clan, Koyamada Nobushige, as one of the two mountains of Takeda, it was not so simple to pull together, and Hojo Tokimasa took great pains to tone his tongue for nearly two years, and it was not until Takeda Nobuyoshi was imprisoned that he made up his mind to cut it.

There is also another branch of the Takeda two-mountain system, Anayama Nobuyo, this clan often has the ambition to rebel against the clan Takeda clan, and it is not wrong for several generations of family governors to be Imagawa Shu Takeda. But if he is easily betrayed, it is not so easy. The cunning Anayama Nobukun expressed his willingness to be the leading party. But he didn't want to be cannon fodder to die before dawn.

The former can ensure the safety of himself and his family when he is in Riche, and is eligible to enjoy the speculative dividends brought by Riche, while the latter is just a meaningless outcast, and the extinction of the human race is not in any interest at all.

I have to say that Takeda Shingen did a very stupid job of imprisoning his sister-in-law Takeda Yoshinobu, not only personally abolishing the heir of the family governor who had worked hard for 20 years. In the further purge, hidden dangers were planted, many pro-Takeda Yoshinobu genealogy retainers were implicated one after another, many people who disobeyed Takeda Katsuyori were dissatisfied, and in many influences, they happened to encounter Genyoshi's large-scale invasion, and the Takeda family was so easily finished.

It seems very simple, but in fact, behind the simplicity is countless efforts and plans, you must know that this Kai country was a place that blocked the footsteps of Hojo Sakumo, Imagawa clan, and Hojo clan, and once made Genyoshi hesitate in the process of going south to Shinano, if it was so simple, how could it stop the pace of these heroes again and again.

The Tokaido Army had a total of 120,000 troops, and in order to speed up the attack, Satake Yoshishige was specially dispatched. He led an army of 20,000 troops to attack Kai Kunichu from the mountains of eastern Fuji with Nobushige Oyamada as the vanguard, and did not wait for the gap when the overall situation had been decided. Minamoto Yoshitoki personally led an army of 100,000 into Suruga Province, and joined Miyabe Jijun in Enoe Province and Ogasawara Nagasaki in Mikawa Province with a total of 20,000 troops, and crossed the Yasakugawa River to attack Owari Province.

When entering Owari, it happened to be the most intense moment of the Sakamoto battle, Oda Nobunaga did not have time to withdraw back to his lair, but in the name of the deputy marshal of the Western Army, he ordered in advance the 80,000 troops of the Western Army to go to Tokaido to support the Takeda family, at first glance, 80,000 reinforcements with 40,000 Takeda Army, even if they can't defeat the Eastern Army, they can stabilize the situation, just need to wait for a month or two at the pass, Oda Nobunaga can return with 150,000 troops victorious, and the victory or defeat is not yet known.

But the actual situation is that Oda Nobunaga is taking it for granted that the Western Coalition Army that relied on the new emperor's decree to convene is simply a plate of scattered sand, not counting the total strength of Takeda Shingen's total strength of more than 200,000, including 25,000 Kyushu soldiers, 30,000 Western country soldiers, 30,000 Shikoku soldiers, and the rest are all troops near.

The Otomo family sent only 15,000 soldiers with no less than 50,000 people, Ryuzoji Temple only sent 3,000 soldiers with 8,000 troops, and the Shimazu family only sent 2,000 soy sauce people, and the other Kyushu people together were only a few thousand, adding up to only 25,000 people, if compared to the Northern and Southern Dynasties era more than 200 years ago, the Ashikaga clan brought 200,000 troops from Kyushu to send food, the total population of the entire Kyushu era was less than 2 million, and the total population of Kyushu today is less than twice as much as it was back then.

The situation in the western country is similar, in the Onin Rebellion, the Ouchi family took out a lot of strength, and got more than a thousand warships to transport 35,000 elite western army in one go, almost changing the strength pattern of the eastern and western armies, and the harmful Hosokawa Katsumoto ran to the countryside to find allies, and was once so hungry that even Asakura Toshikage, a guy who was not eye-catching before, was appointed as the guardian of Echizen.

On the contrary, the Western Overlord Maori family only took out 20,000 troops, and other Western samurai such as the Nizi Fuguo Army and Urakami Sojing had a total of 10,000 troops, and then thought of the collapse of the big things back then, Urakami Muneng took out 20,000 troops in one go to help Hosokawa Takakoku, and no matter how poor the Western Samurai family was, they could always make up 70,000 or 80,000 troops, after all, the silver mountain buried in the mountain nest was not fake, and the Maori family got the mantle of the Ouchi family, and inherited the inheritance of Nizinian, and only 20,000 people were taken out with the strength of the two families, which would not be much better than sending food away.

I have to say that the samurai of the four countries have made a lot of efforts, mastering the declining overlord of the three kingdoms of Awa, Sanuki, and Awaji, the Miyoshi clan, the Iyo veteran guardian daimyo Kono clan, the Tosa Kuniji Ichijo clan, the Tosa Ichiba Chozong Ibe clan and other Shikoku samurai have made a lot of efforts, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu rushed to Shangluo with an army of 20,000 people, anyway, the distance was close and prepared, and he ran to the Kenai camp in less than ten days, and the other families scraped together 10,000 people.

The so-called Western Army contributed the most to the Kinai samurai, among which the Oda family, the overlord of Kinai, took out 60,000 troops, almost all of which were poured out without leaving any money, and more than 30,000 people from Asakura, Asai, Wakasa Takeda, and Tango of the Northern Coalition Army, as well as the hodgepodge of Kawachi Hatakeyama, Yamato and Harima, Tanba and other miscellaneous people, adding up to more than 100,000 people.

This is why every samurai who occupies Kinai can become the overlord. The five countries of Kinai were called Wuki in ancient times. They are the five countries of Settsu, Yamashiro, Kawachi, Izumi, and Yamato. The division of is much more general, and Omi, Tanba, Tango, Harima, and Kii can all be included, and in some cases, Ise, Wakasa, Echizen, Shima, and Iga can also be included.

Even if these fifteen countries are added together, it will be around 4.5 million stones, but you can easily take out more than 100,000 troops to help, this ability is not something that can be done anywhere casually, the only thing that can be compared is probably that the eight countries of Kwantung can easily take out 100,000 troops, so there have been thousands of years of disputes since the peace of Jiangmen. The reason why it has always revolved around and Kanto is that the vast plains and abundant products of these two places can be used as the basis for hegemony.

Oda Nobunaga thought that he could lead the Western Army by occupying most of the Tokaido and the core area of Kinai, in fact, he was indeed working in this direction, but unfortunately the Western Army was just a plate of loose sand after all, and the Shikoku samurai were still respectful and obedient, and the Western samurai could barely give him some face, and the people of Kyushu would not give him face at all, how old are you Oda Nobunaga? He also dictated to us.

At the time when the battle of Sakamoto was fierce, Oda Nobunaga ordered 80,000 allied troops to go to Tokaido to aid the Takeda family, and Shimazu returned to his hometown with his 2,000 troops without even leaving a reason. Seeing this posture, Otomo Qinzhen also left a sentence that his family was still at war, and returned to Kyushu with an army of 15,000. The Ryuzoji family went faster, and the other Kyushu people also went home, and in the blink of an eye, the 25,000 troops in Kyushu disappeared, but Oda Nobunaga was busy besieging Sakamoto and searching for the emperor and had no choice.

When he reacted, the Kyushu samurai couldn't even see a single hair, and it happened that at this time, Yoshikawa Motoharu also ran over out of breath and said that he was going back to see the lair, and was caught by Oda Nobunaga, saying that he would not let the Maori family take the opportunity to escape, and strictly ordered the armies of various countries not to leave without permission, and to take care of all the several noisy samurai.

Such a fuss really made the atmosphere very unpleasant, Yoshikawa Motoharu thinks that you Oda Nobunaga something, but a nouveau riche in Tokaido, a small priest family from Owari, our Maori family ancestor is Oehiromoto, that is the powerful imperial family of the Kamakura shogunate, a famous wise general and cultural person who served as a deacon of the political office, where is the descendant of the little priest can be compared.

From 80,000 to more than 55,000 people of the Western Army, with full of resentment and complaints, came to Owari and stopped advancing, many samurai felt that Oda Nobunaga was too domineering to be trusted, and more than 50,000 people inside and outside did not want to touch the main force of the Eastern Army at all, so when Minamoto Yoshitoki led 120,000 troops into Owari Province, the first reaction of these samurai was not to fight, but to retreat desperately to Mino Province with their own military strength.

This retreat sold the Oda family, and the vast plains south of Nagara River Sumamata Castle all fell into the hands of the Eastern Army, and the Oda family's Longxing Land changed its surname to Yuan, fortunately, at this time, Oda Nobunaga still remembered that the Western Army was unreliable, and hurriedly rushed to Gifu City with his own army to rescue, and saw that half of his own territory had been lost, and his heart was really cool and cool.

If resentment is useful, there is no need for samurai to exist, and drawing circles and cursing every day can solve all troubles, Oda Nobunaga was furious but helpless, and he couldn't take the generals of the allied forces to ask for the right military law, so the consequence of doing so was that the next day the Western Army would completely disperse and go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

However, Oda Nobunaga was not willing to fail so much, so he led more than 150,000 troops of the Western Army in Gifu Castle, across the Nagara River and confronted the 120,000 troops of the Eastern Army, this confrontation was almost half a month, and the 10,000 troops of the Numata Yumitsu Division of the Hida Army succeeded in attacking Higashimino and converging the main force into more than 130,000 people, and today, the 80,000 troops of the Kai raiders joined Owari Province again, so that the army increased to more than 210,000 people.

However, the main force of the front line is not so much, at the same moment when the confrontation between Owari and Oda Nobunaga was captured, Genyoshi ordered Saito Asanobu to serve as a general, leading 30,000 troops to launch a strategy against Ise country, and the current intelligence feedback received is that Ise country has been basically pacified, and the reason is that the elite soldiers in Ise country are similar to other countries in Tokaido, and they are basically transferred by Oda Nobunaga to Kinai to participate in the ceremony of raising troops in the western army, and the emptiness in the territory is not Saito Asanobu at all. (To be continued......)
