Satake Yoshige is only thirty-two years old this year, but his reputation for being brave and good at fighting is already powerful in Kanto.
During this time, Takeda joined forces with the Kanto heroes to fight against the Hojo family. The Satake family captured the Sakura Castle of the Hojo family, which made great contributions to the Kanto Allied Forces.
In terms of origin, Satake is closest to the Takeda family.
The first generation of the Satake family was Minamoto Yoshie, the eldest son of Minamoto's Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, and inherited Silla Saburo's family business in Hitachi.
At that time, Minamoto Yoshimitsu's forces controlled the seven counties of Lu'ao and the northern part of Hitachi.
It was the second son of Minamoto Yoshimitsu who founded the Kai Takeda First Class. He was granted a title in Takeda Township, Naka County, Hitachi Province, so he took the name Takeda as his Miao name. Later, he left the clan and came to Kai to found the Takeda First Class and became the commander-in-chief of the Kai Gen clan.
So this time, the Takeda family announced their intention to go to Luo, and Satake Yishige, the overlord of Hitachi, was also the first to respond.
Satake Yoshige led 5,000 elite troops from the Hitachi Kingdom and rushed to Kai to join the battle. Among the Kanto daimyo, he became the earliest to arrive and also had the largest number of troops.
Satake Yoshitaka immediately said to Takeda Nobushige: "Mr. Chaozuki, I have been in Kanto for a long time, and I have long wanted to see the strength of the Oda Army. Now let us be the vanguard of the Tokaido."
Hearing what Satake Yoshitaka said, Takeda Nobushige smiled and said: "I have made up my mind about Tokaido with Onishi coming out. In this case, let Mr. Baba and His Highness Satake go to Tokaido."
After Satake Yoshige and Baba Nobuka retired, Takeda Nobushige looked at Yasukina Tadashi and said: "How is the Nakasendo strategy going?"
Hoshina said honestly: "Our army has captured Kiso Fukushima Castle and regained the lost ground. However, the general of Oda Nakasando Army, Kawajiri Hidetaka, led the army to guard Iwamura Castle and other dangerous places, hindering the advancement of our army."
Takeda Nobushige nodded and said: "My Lord Akiyama fell into the hands of Hidetaka Kawajiri. Whoever is the vanguard of our army will defeat Hidetaka Kawajiri's momentum as soon as possible and break through the Nakasendo."
The generals looked over and saw Masayuki Sanada standing up and saying, "My Ueno Army Corps is willing to give it a try."
Takeda Nobushige nodded. He said: "Iwamura Castle is naturally dangerous, but your father-in-law was known as the best in attacking and was the best general in our family who was good at attacking cities. It seems that I can only leave this matter to you, and Mr. Hoko will assist you. "
Sanada Masayuki and Hosuke Honesty both said with an ooh, "My lord, Mr. Chaoyuki. I will do my best."
With Takeda Nobushige's arrangements, the order of sending troops this time has been decided.
Li Xiao led the Hida Echu Army's 20,000 troops and set out from the Hokurikudo.
On the Tokaido side, the 5,000-strong army of Satake Yoshitaka was the vanguard, and the Mikawa Army of Tokugawa Ieyasu was the vanguard. Baba Nobuka's Suruga Corps drove back with 10,000 troops each.
And Takeda Nobukatsu, Takeda Nobushige's main army will climb over the mountains and penetrate directly into the hinterland of Mino from Nakayama Road.
The lineup is Masayuki Sanada and Masatsuki Naito. Obata Nobuzada has eight thousand Ueno power.
??????????????????????????????????????????? Baoke is a pioneer with two thousand southern followers.
Kosaka Masanobu's Northern Shinano Army has a strength of 10,000.
The big bear showed 10,000.
Takeda Nobushige's main force has ten thousand troops.
After that comes the military strength of the major names in Kanto.
The leader of the Hojo clan is Matsuda Kenhide, the elder of the clan, with a force of three thousand.
The Date family¡¯s military strength is led by the veteran Onite Zuoyue, who also has a strength of three thousand.
Mogami Yoshimitsu Mogami dispatched two thousand troops.
The Utsunomiya family and the Yuki family each dispatched two thousand troops.
The top, Utsunomiya. The Yuuki family sent out troops. Although there were not many troops, the family governor personally led the troops. Therefore, there were many banner warriors in the formation, and their combat power should not be underestimated.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? At the rear are the newly formed Musashi Legion.
Since Musashi has just been pacified, Takeda Nobutoyo himself is still stationed in Musashi and is based in Kanto.
So the Musashi Legion. Led by the deputy general of the legion, Masayuki Oyamada, the number of troops was eight thousand.
The main force taking Zhongshan Road totaled 60,000 troops.
??And here, in order to echo the Takeda family's move to Luo, the Mouri family, the hegemon of Sanin Sanyo Road, also mobilized the domestic army.
Mori Terumoto and Kobayakawa Takakage personally led an army of 50,000 land and sea troops, attacked Bizen from Sanyo Road, and fought against the Bizen daimyo Ukita Nao family.
??And the top general of the Maori family, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and the Tajima Kingdom's Dai Mingyu Toyoko, led an allied force of 30,000, invaded the Harima Kingdom from the direction of Tajima Kingdom, and attacked with Hashiba Hideyoshi.
Li Xiao¡¯s generals Kano Hideharu, Yuzuo Xuguang, Naito Ruan, and Muto Tomoe also led an army of 10,000 troops to set up formations in Tanba Kingdom.
While threatening the flanks of Harima Kingdom, they also monitored the movements of the Oda Kinki Army.
The Murakami navy, affiliated with the Mori family, also blocked the entire Seto Inland Sea.
In an instant, the two hundred thousand troops from Takeda, Mori, and the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked the Oda family from the east and west.
North Omi, Azuchi Castle.
Autumn rain splashes on Lake Bipa.
Dark clouds hang low, pressing down on the castle tower.
The blue-grey city walls and the pink-white castle were bathed in heavy rain and looked extremely haggard.
The news of Takeda Nobunaga's army marching to Luo has reached Azuchi Castle.
It can be said that the Oda family was shocked overnight.
On the castle tower, Oda Nobutada convened his retainers for a military meeting, which had been going on all day and night.
"Hmph, can Takeda Sozuki be stronger than Imagawa Yoshimoto back then?"
"Back then, my Oda family only had half of the Owari family. Lord Youfu stabbed Hazama and destroyed it overnight. Today, Takeda Chaoyue is just making the same mistake again."
"Today, I, Oda, own nearly half of the world, and I cannot be treated like a clown."
"The Maori family is just a rabble, so don't be afraid of them."
"Zhongshan Road is a natural danger and can be defended!"
During the military discussion, several young retainers spoke impassionedly, and their voices were very loud and full of energy.
But among the vast majority of the retainers who had been following the Oda family for a long time, they remained silent.
Oda Nobutada's action is very similar to Nobunaga's.
However, the retainers did not regard this governor as the Oda Nobunaga who defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto in the narrow sword.
Oda Nobutada waved his hand, and several retainers fell silent.
"Hyugamoru-sama, what do you think of the war situation?"
Oda Nobutada immediately looked at Mitsuhide Akechi, the chief retainer.
Facing Oda Nobutada's inquiry, Akechi Mitsuhide leaned down slightly, and then replied in a deep voice: "Hashiba Chizenmori-sama alone is enough to deal with the Mori family. I think our strategy is to concentrate our forces for a decisive battle with the Takeda family. The world will be determined by fighting!"
Hearing Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Oda Nobutada was shocked and said: "Oh! Is this a decisive battle?"
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said: "The decisive battle is where the two generals have a tacit understanding"
Before Mitsuhide Akechi finished speaking, Nobuo Oda, the general of the Ise Army on the side, questioned: "Hyugamori-sama, I think the Takeda family is advancing in three directions. Nakasen Road is a natural danger. You can order Kawajiri-sama to hold it, and the main force of our army We can use various strategies to defeat the Hokuriku Road and Tokaido Road one by one, and then finally have a decisive battle with the main force of the Takeda family in Nakasen Road. Isn¡¯t the chance of winning this way even greater!¡±
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said: "You are wrong, the Takeda family is not three-way, but one."
Oda Nobuo was surprised and said: "How can it be the same way? Li Xiao is obviously on Hokuriku Road, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is on Tokaido"
Akechi Mitsuhide shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be stupid, how could Takeda Chaoyue make such a low-level mistake and let our army defeat them one by one. Bring me the map!"
Weishan Castle, Castle Tower.
Xiaoban Yumei and Xiaoban Yuzhen are serving Li Xiao to put on their armor.
For the Wu family, it is normal for the husband to go to war, and it is also the right thing for the wife to put on armor for her husband before going into battle.
When they saw Li Xiao, they were about to go into battle. Naturally, the two Xiaoban sisters had endless things to say and warned them again and again.
In addition to asking Li Xiao to take care of himself, the two sisters also urged Li Xiao to take good care of Li Zheng and Li Yong.
Even Li Xiao¡¯s son-in-law, Nobuyuki Sanada, also asked Li Xiao to take care of him.
Li Xiao felt slightly amused after hearing this. Since the battlefield is constantly changing, sometimes even he, as the general, may not be protected. This matter of life and death only depends on destiny.
But it was all just his wife¡¯s thoughts, so he could only smile and nod in agreement.
After finishing dressing, Li Xiao nodded slowly and was about to speak, when the Xiaoban sisters threw themselves in front of Li Xiao, one on the left and the other on the right, and the two sisters shed tears together.
Li Xiao smiled slightly, rubbing each person's shoulders with both hands, and coaxed them with kind words.
Li Xiao thought to himself, if his retainers and tens of thousands of soldiers saw him like this, they would definitely lose face.
Waiting for the two Xiaoban sisters to lie on Li Xiao¡¯s shouldersWhen I woke up, there were footsteps outside the room.
Sister Xiaoban also stood up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Immediately, the paper sliding door was pushed open with a clang, and only Li Zheng and Li Yong were seen holding their headbands in their hands.
Li Zhengyan said: "Father, the army has been gathered and can go out into battle."
However, as soon as Li Zheng and Li Yong entered the room, the Xiaofan sisters each stepped forward, pulled them over, and gave them repeated instructions.
Li Zheng is now the governor of the Li family. At that time, in front of Xiaobata Yumei, he was still like a child, being given orders from ear to ear.
Li Yong didn¡¯t need to say much, because Xiaoban Youzhen was rubbing Li Yong and crying again.
Li Xiao shook his head slightly and said to Xiaoban Youzhen: "Forget it, when I come back from this battle, I will find a suitable woman for Yong'er, so that after you have a family, you can distract him. "
After hearing this, Xiaoban Youzhen looked at Li Xiao, wiped her tears and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago."
The five members of this family parted after another conversation.
The father and son walked down the castle tower together. Behind Li Xiao, Li Yongyan said: "Father, my family is attacking Oda in three ways this time. Our army is closest to Azuchi Castle. If we march too fast along the Hokuriku Road, How about encountering the main force of the Oda family?"
After hearing what Li Yongzhi said, Li Xiao smiled slightly and said nothing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
