Chapter 200: History Changed
The current daimyo of the Imagawa family is purely a son inheriting his father's business, and his ability and prestige are much worse than Imagawa Yoshimoto, in order to survive for himself, he doesn't care about any strategic issues at all, he just keeps running away, and if there is an army that is still loyal to the Imagawa family, let them stay behind and block the attack of the Takeda family's army for themselves.

Although the Imagawa family suffered a great loss of vitality due to the Great War of Barrel Saga, they have been operating on this land for decades, and their ruling roots are still very deep. If the current daimyo of the Imagawa family can concentrate their remaining forces, even if they can't defeat Takeda Shingen and regain the lost land, they can at least hold on to the castle and wait for time to change.
But if he did this, it was equivalent to taking his precious power to Takeda Shingen to eat, and finally let Takeda Shingen win consecutive battles, and it took only 11 days to occupy the two regions of Suruga and Enoe, and the once famous Imagawa family withdrew from the stage of the Warring States Struggle.
Yang Guang continued to live in Gifu Castle after observing the ceremony, and only after he learned the details of Takeda Shingen's battle through various channels, did he bid farewell to Oda Nobunaga and returned to Nagashima Port.
During his stay in Gifu Castle, Yang Guang often heard the private discussions of many of the Oda family's retainers, and he found that most people thought that this was a gambling military adventure, but Takeda Shin Xuanwu Yun Changlong actually succeeded.
But Yang Guang doesn't think so, in his opinion, Takeda Shingen is indeed a famous master of the art of war in Japan, and he is really good at seizing fleeting opportunities.
The Takeda family is very strong, but the daimyo around them are not weak, but at this point in time, everyone is firmly held back by other things, and there is no time or spare energy to cause trouble for Takeda Shingen.
Nagao Keitora, an old enemy in the northeast of the territory, is besieging the Hojo family in the southeast with a group of newly recruited younger brothers, and the Tokugawa family in the southwest is affected by the rebellion of the followers of the Honganji Ichijo sect.
As for Oda Nobunaga, who is rising rapidly in the west of the territory, on the one hand, he has just eaten Mino and has to digest it well, and on the other hand, the territory from Mino to Takeda Shingen is all winding and rugged mountain roads, even if he really has the heart to make trouble, when he goes to the local side, the war is almost over, it is absolutely futile, and Oda Nobunaga's wisdom will not do such a stupid thing.
Of course, in addition to these external factors, the appearance of the new class of troops of the Takeda family also shocked the whole of Japan. After obtaining Yang Guang's Five Peaks, Takeda Shingen and his retainers came up with a brilliant way to use it, they were originally good at using cavalry to fight, so they combined firearms with horseback to create a cavalry iron artillery unit that used firearms to enhance attack power and war horses to enhance mobility.
Takeda Shingen was able to attack the outside of Sunfu Castle in a few days, and caught the Imagawa family by surprise, all relying on the marching speed of this "iron-ridden" army. In the ensuing frontal battle, the power of the Goho gun also made the Imagawa family soldiers suffer, even if the Takeda family army was outnumbered, they could defeat the enemy repeatedly, creating a winning streak one after another.
In the history of modern time and space, Oda Nobunaga tossed for ten years to get Mino, and Takeda Shingen broke the alliance to take advantage of the Imagawa family after the Tokugawa family was dying for a long time, and only got a place in Suruga, and Enoe had long been eaten in the stomach by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Now because of Yang Guang's strong intervention, the history of this plane has changed, Oda Nobunaga does not have to waste 10 years in the quagmire of Mino, and Takeda Shingen has finally gotten rid of the passive situation brought by the territorial position.
Whether it is "Oda Heavy Rain" or "Takeda Riding Iron", anyway, the core is the five-peak gun brought by Yang Guang, and under the premise that it cannot be imitated, and there is no way to use force, these Japanese daimyo have no other choice.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang suddenly felt that he was very much like the new forces added by the version of the patch in "World of Warcraft", and if these Japanese daimyos still want to continue to play happily, they can only honestly pay to recharge to brush up their reputation.
"You treacherous one-eyed old man, at least half of the Takeda family's unspeakable evil deeds are your ideas!" Just as Yang Guang was laughing at himself, a young man's voice came from outside, his voice was a little sharp, and it sounded weird.
"Hehe, who should I be, it turned out to be His Royal Highness Aya." An old man's voice that Yang Guang was somewhat familiar with remembered, and he thought about it and remembered that the one he spoke had seen him before, it should be Yamamoto Kansuke, a retainer of Takeda Shingen, an old man who was blind in one eye and lame in one leg.
The sound of drawing the sword sounded, and the young man who was called "His Highness Aya" before said with anger: "Kansuke Yamamoto, I'm Uesugi Aya to challenge you, and we won't die!" ”
"Is this the tradition of the Uesugi family? Specifically bullied me, an old blind man who couldn't even walk? Kansuke Yamamoto replied, "If that's the case, please cut off my head and give it to Uesugi Kenshin-sama!" ”
"His Royal Highness Aya" hesitated for a long time, and finally put the katana back, if Yamamoto Kansuke resolutely refused to fight back and let it be slaughtered, he really couldn't go against his beliefs and kill people.
Yang Guang pushed open the door and walked out, he looked at the handsome young man standing in the courtyard, and said: "The one who can say such a thing as a bamboo book and hate the Takeda family must be from the Nagao family." But now that the name has been changed to Uesugi, presumably Lord Nagao Keitora has already taken the position of Kanto Governor! ”
The young man named Aya Uesugi looked at Yang Guang, not quite sure if he had guessed it himself or had received the news. After failing to find a useful clue, Aya Uesugi replied, "That's right, my brother has taken Uesugi Kenmasa as his father-in-law, changed his name to Uesugi Kenshin, and on the way back from Odawara Castle, he officially assumed the post of Kanto Governor at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura!" ”
During the Warring States period in Japan, it is not surprising that there were too many things to change names, especially in order to inherit family names, territories, etc. Yang Guang was not surprised to know this tradition, he nodded and then said to Yamamoto Kansuke, "Congratulations to Shingen-sama for me, the Takeda family has finally obtained a plain that can be cultivated, as well as a precious outlet to the sea. ”
Kansuke Yamamoto seemed to have guessed that Yang Guang would say this, so he agreed with a smile, and then took out a letter written by Takeda Shingen with both hands and presented it. Aya Uesugi, who saw this scene, also took out a letter, which was actually written by Kenshin Uesugi himself.
These two daimyo seem to be born rivals, and their views on everything seem to be just opposites, but I didn't expect their minds to think of one at this moment, which is really a rare thing. (To be continued.) )
