    Under the secret orders of Yoshitoki Kira, Yoshie Keizi and Yasuda Keigen, who were stationed at Yashiro Castle and Shiozaki Castle respectively, insisted on holding on to the castle. Those Shinano people who seemed unstable were arranged to monitor the Kaizu Castle controlled by Murakami Yoshikiyo.  Their mission was to delay the Takeda Army's attack as much as possible before Echigo's attack on Kawanakajima, and to allow the burned city to retreat when they could no longer hold on.  On July 27, 13,500 troops under the leadership of Kira Yoshitoki set out for Kawanaka Island. As Kasugayama Castle's remaining guards, Nagao Masakage, Nagao Fujikage, Yasuda Nagahide, Chisaka Keichika, and Ishikawa were captured again.  He stayed in Kasugayama Castle to assist Nagao Torahime in guarding Kasugayama Castle. At the same time, the police in Kasugayama Castle and Naoetsu raised the alert level, and farmers also volunteered to organize to guard Echigo for the Kira family.  The so-called Kawanaka Island is the curved river zone formed by the confluence of the Saikawa River, a tributary of the Chikuma River. It is one of the few plain areas in Northern Shinano and is also an important grain production area. It is only about 70 kilometers away from Echigo Kasugayama Castle and 100 kilometers away from Kaizuoka.  Sakidate is far more than 150 kilometers away. The distance between Kasugayama Castle and Kasugayama Castle is roughly the same as the distance from Fukashi Castle to Kawanakajima Island.  From Iiyama Castle, go all the way north along the Echigo Street, passing through Murei, Furuma, Togakushi, Kashiwara, and Nojiri, and entering the Echigo Sekikawa area, you can go all the way to the Echigo Fuchu Naoetsu area. The terrain of this road is relatively flat, and it is better than other roads.  It is easier to enter Echigo from several directions, and this road is also the direction in which the Kira family is heading today.  The gathering of 13,500 troops in the blink of an eye in the direction of Echigo was greatly beyond Takeda Harunobu's expectations. Especially this time, the leader was not Nagao Kagetora, whom he had known for several years, but Kira Yoshitoki, a famous samurai from Kyoto.  .  Listening to the bizarre rumors about him in Kyoto.  Takeda Harunobu suddenly smiled.  Takeda Harunobu¡¯s first reaction was that it was funny.  Then he said sternly: "Guardian Kira Sahei is only thirteen years old this year! Who is commanding behind him?" "My lord, you mean there is an expert behind him commanding the battle?" The Takeda retainers hesitated and thought about it carefully.  It is indeed possible.  "It's not that it's possible, but it's very possible!" Masaru Komai's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "You must know that my lord has been in the army for more than ten years since he was young. He has experienced so many battles that it is rare for the samurai family to do so. He has never done so before.  I have heard of people who are invincible in battle. Even if there is such a warrior, it is definitely not something that a thirteen-year-old boy can do!" Iito Huchang laughed and said: "This warrior was only ten years old when he served.  Right? Have you ever heard of the story of a famous ten-year-old general who wanted to die? This is simply the most ridiculous story in the world. What happened to Kyoto in recent years? It¡¯s better to watch Sarurula.  "It's so interesting!" "Hahaha" Takeda's retainer laughed. What does a ten-year-old child know? Let alone go into battle, he is a talented person who can ride a horse steadily without falling off. This has been done since ancient times.  I have never heard of the story of a famous general who sought death at the age of ten.  ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how powerful Gui Shihe from the Mihaoshi family is, but in my opinion, Huyin is probably at my level, right? Hahaha!¡± Yuan Huyin also joined in the fun.  "It is said that he was a very powerful samurai, but he was shot by a bow and arrow." Atobe Nobuaki thought about it carefully, and replied uncertainly: "Maybe it was because of Liu Ya or something like that!" "Yu Ya? Hahaha  " Seeing how happy they were smiling, Komai Masaru was worried that he might underestimate the enemy too much, so he quickly poured cold water on him and said, "You guys should not underestimate the Duke of Takeru. It's still unclear who the master behind the Kira family is.  Who, we should be careful when dealing with them." "Isn't Gao Baizhai too cautious? What if there are experts behind us? Are we still afraid of them? We are not those soft-footed shrimps in Kinki"  Iitomi Komasa seemed to be laughing at the Kinai samurai family for being weak and incompetent, and he seemed to be laughing at Komai Masatake for being timid. In short, a group of samurai laughed along with him, making his face look ugly.  "That person should be Yamamoto Sado Moriyuki! His original name was Yamamoto Kansuke, a ronin from Mikawa. Our family had heard of his deeds back then. He was a lame, one-eyed samurai who wandered around the countries for more than ten years. At that time, our family wanted to recruit him.  It's just a pity that it's a retainer!" Takeda Harunobu recalled the story of those years in the Gogen server. At that time, he heard that there was a strange samurai from Suruga wandering near Kai. Out of curiosity, he wanted to visit him, but it was a coincidence.  Unfortunately, Kansuke Yamamoto returned to Suruga very quickly, thus missing a great opportunity.  "My lord, don't worry. Even if Yamamoto Sado Mamoru is as powerful as the legend says, we are still confident of defeating him. It's up to me, Tomasa, to capture him and become my lord's retainer!" Iito Tomasa was full of confidence.  said.  "I hope so"  On August 12, Yashiro Castle and Shiozaki Castle fell successively under the fierce attack of the Takeda Army. Yoshie Keizi and Yasuda Keimoto led the army to retreat to Kaizu Castle, and at this time  Thirteen thousand and five?The Kira Army had already entered Asahiyama Castle. Seeing that there was no hope of pursuit, the Takeda Army stopped at the foot of Chasu Mountain and closely watched the movements of Asahiyama Castle across the Saikawa River.  In the evening, unknown leaves were thrown into the bonfire, and the smoke drove away annoying mosquitoes. The warriors of the Takeda family gathered in the military tent and meditated silently. They picked up the candlestick and stared at the land for a long time on a sunny day before raising their heads and asking:  "What do you think of the situation in this battle?" "Fifteen thousand versus thirteen thousand five hundred, I'm afraid this battle won't be easy!" Fanfu Changjing, the shortest man, had a loud voice.  Everyone looked gloomy and couldn't help shouting: "No matter how difficult it is, we must defeat them!" "Genshiro said well! My son, the Takeda family, must have this kind of courage, no matter how famous he is as a shogunate general,  I'm not afraid of them!" Iito Homasa was the first to stand up to support his brother, and then more and more warriors joined in, gradually suppressing their worried voices.  "It would be great if all of you can agree on the same opinion!" Takeda Harunobu's face brightened slightly. He was under a lot of pressure when he said it. Kira Yoshitoki's resume was so dazzling. He started fighting for the shogunate at the age of ten. In the past few years, he had fought several major and minor wars.  It¡¯s unbelievable that he has never lost before. Whose child becomes a famous general just after starting the server?  Anyway, he couldn't think of anyone who could do it.  Komai Masatake suggested: "Kaizu Castle is a disaster. There are 2,800 troops gathered here. Once they interact with the Kira Army on the other side, it will be unimaginable. I think that the first priority is to remove this city first." Takeda Harunobu nodded.  head.  Glancing at the middle-aged man who was bowing his head and saying nothing, he said, "Sure. How is the mobilization of the people of Northern Shinano?" "I would like to report to my lord, the descendants of Kiyono have been contacted by my ministers. They are willing to be loyal to my Takeda family. I kindly ask my lord to do this for me."  They regained the lost territory and killed Murakami Yoshikiyo to avenge the beauty! The Yashiro, Shiozaki, Amamiya, Suda, Takasaka and other clans expressed their support for the lord openly or covertly. Most of the wealthy families in Northern Shinano turned to my Takeda family, and their army  The force exceeds two thousand people." Looking at this silent man, Takeda Harunobu took a deep breath, knowing that this man was no less capable than himself.  However, due to the status gap between the two parties, they did not have the opportunity to achieve greater achievements. After only a few years in the army, he had made numerous achievements and gained three thousand territories in Xiaozhen County. He was a warrior who made him both happy and afraid.  "In my opinion, what would happen if I, the Takeda clan, led a force to join this coalition force to besiege Kaijin Castle?" "I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to attack the city, but it should be easier to coordinate with the strategy." "Then if Danmasa is the general,  How should we plan to unite this coalition with a thousand troops? " Sanada Yukitaka was shocked. His eyes moved to see Takeda Harunobu's expression of expectation and encouragement. He hesitated for a moment and sighed: "If I take this as my responsibility,  The general put up many flags and bluffed, claiming that he would attack Haijin City with an army of 6,000 people. Beating drums during the day and setting fire to it would cause unrest day and night. "What a plan!" Komai Masashi said with admiration.  "I think so too" Takeda Harunobu listened to the admiration of the retainers with a smile. When faced with the praises of his colleagues, Sanada Yukitaka kept being humble and said that he was inspired by his lord.  In this way, a military discussion ended in a heated atmosphere.   In Asahiyama Castle, the former lord of Asahiyama Castle and Zenkoji Betsu when Kurita Kanyasu explained the form of Hokushinano to Kiragi. The master of Zenkoji Daimid¨­ was in a very good mood. Since Zenkoji moved to Naoetsu, the popularity of Echigo Oiko has immediately  Tens of thousands of believers gathered.  There are also businessmen traveling to and from the Hokuriku Sea Route here to pray for success in their careers. Every year, just the donations from believers are enough to get it, which is many times better than the traffic jam in the Shinano mountains.  This time when he returned to his hometown, it felt like he was revisiting his old place after becoming prosperous. He could see his old friends living a miserable life and comfort him a few words. Not to mention how happy this life was.  "Kawanakajima, Kawanakajima, I really let my family meet you." Kira Yoshitoki put up a huge map behind him. The map accurately depicted the locations of all the mountain castles near Kawanakajima. On the map, there was a  A small red and blue flag is placed on the map, which is the dynamics of various wealthy families.  "How do you think our Kira Army should respond?" "The Takeda Army is located at the foot of Chasu Mountain. It seems that they are going to confront our army. It's hard to say." "For the current plan, the only way to deal with it is to continue the confrontation, right?" Yue  The samurai in the back talked about all kinds of reliable and unreliable plans. Honjo Sano felt that none of them were right. He stared at the map carefully for a long time before pointing to Kaijin Castle on the south bank of the Chikuma River: "This is the only place.  That's the key to the joint war." The people in Northern Shinano shook their heads in disbelief. Kurita Kanan said with a smile: "Haijin???  There are 2,800 troops stationed in that city, and it has become very strong after several years of reinforcements!  Even if the Takeda family attacks the city with all their strength, they can't get any benefits. Is Mimasaku the guardian of the palace too worried?  "    "No!  Mei Zuoshou is by no means careless.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki explained for him: "With the wisdom of Takeda Daisen, we can't fail to see the importance of this city. Once Kaijin Castle is taken away, there will be no danger to the south of Saikawa, and all the people of the country will be instigated by the Takeda family to rebel one by one."  , then it will be difficult for me to cross Xichuan again!  "    "So this is ah!  "Kurita Kanan's branch family is divided into many branches. Kurita Tsuruhisa, who is the Komidou Beitou of Zenkoji Temple, nodded thoughtfully. There are two branches of Zenkoji Temple, Omidou and Komidou, and both families are from the same sect.  Therefore, the Big Mido side is called Sato-Kurita, and the Little Mido side is called Yamakurita. The relationship between the Big Mido and Little Mido has always been unharmonious, and there has always been a dispute over the power of Zenkoji Temple, because Kurita Kanyasu of the Big Mido side surrendered.  Under the Nagao family, the original Zenkoji Temple became the territory of Komidou. Looking at Kurita Tsuruhisa's shining eyes, Kira Yoshi felt a little funny, but for Nagao, he had been making small moves in the past few years.  Kagetora's strict layout makes it impossible for him to start, and he may have already betrayed the Takeda family. Moreover, he has always been obsessed with this Asahiyama Castle. "What do you think of Xingbu Cheng?"  "    "No no!  I have nothing to say.  "Kurita Tsuruhisa evadedly concealed his abnormal mood. Fortunately, most people in the military tent were deep in thought, and few people noticed his little movements. After teasing this Kitano Shinano bug, Kira Yoshiki stood up and yawned  , rubbed his eyes and walked out slowly: "Speaking of which, I am a little tired too!  So let¡¯s do this for now!  Let¡¯s discuss it tomorrow.  "    "yes!  "As soon as the general left, they had no need to stay, so they got up and left one after another. After the retainers left one after another, only a few people remained with their heads down and busy with what they were doing. After a while, Kira Yoshiki left in high spirits again.  When I came in, I saw several important officials of the Kira family there, and they showed a surprised expression and said: "Huh?  Why didn't everyone go to rest?  It must be hard to stay up all day!  " "Didn't the owner of the museum not have any rest?  " Yamamoto Tokiyuki smiled, and was helpless about the little tricks played by this apprentice. The evaluation meeting would be held twice, and the military meeting would be held twice. Secretly, they, the disciples, also had to serve as the staff group, and the multiple responsibilities made it even more difficult.  It¡¯s really not easy at all. ¡°Tell me what you think.  " Honda Tokimasa was the first to speak: "The Takeda family will attack Kaijin Castle.  " "And the attack will be mainly conducted by Shinano people.  " Hosokawa Fujitaka added. Namioka Soufang was not to be outdone. He broke a shocking news: "I suspect that this general is most likely Sanada Yukitaka.  " "Where does this basis come from?  "Yamamoto Tokiyuki stared at him with great interest. Behind him, his young apprentice Numata Yumitsu sat obediently. Since his brother died in the war, he has been studying military strategies day and night in the past two years, following his master.  Learning the practical application of formation strategies can be considered as a small achievement over time. ¡°The Takeda family¡¯s system is mainly based on Kai¡¯s local military strength, and consists of a mixture of multiple layers of forces such as the Ichimen, the Shodai, the direct ministers, and the public.  In Shinano, Kai's retainers serve as the county and castle lords, and are supplemented by Shinano's avant-garde tribes to form small samurai groups. Since the attack on Kaizu Castle is mainly based on the Shinano people, it is best to choose Shinano.  The samurai of the Shinano sect were the chief generals, and Yukitaka Sanada was the leader of the Shinano sect.  "    "that's right!  Honda Toki was applauding his new colleague with admiration, and then took over the topic and said, "What's more important is that Yukitaka Sanada's past experience is very miraculous. In the past few years, he has joined the Takeda family from being an unknown samurai who lost his land to suddenly breaking out."  , assisted the Takeda family to defeat all the powerful enemies in Shinano, including the Northern Shinano National Alliance, which was also destroyed in his hands. It can be said that the Takeda family's success in Shinano is inseparable from Yukitaka Sanada. This scheming and strategy alone is a  A feared and powerful opponent may be stronger than imagined!  " "The stronger he is, the more interesting he is, isn't it?  Hahaha!  "Kirarayoshi didn't seem to care. He walked to the map and pulled out the flags belonging to the red side one by one, and planted blue flags on those awkward spots. Among the piles of red flags gathered in Asahiyama Castle, there were several eye-catching ones.  Blue flags mixed in. ¡°How about that?  There is blue in the red, isn¡¯t it beautiful?  " He always has more praise for things made by his own hands. This time he greatly praised his hands-on talent. He carefully placed each small flag in a straight position and said with a smile: "What a wonderful arrangement.  Ah, why don¡¯t I have this ability?  Could it be said that some people are born with stubbornness?  " "Is this a secret report obtained by the owner?  " Yamamoto Tokiyuki's face darkened and he stared at several faces.The name on the small flag snorted coldly: "You are so audacious. You dare to do these things under the noses of my Kira family. They have never seen the methods of my Kira family!" "A group of people who don't know whether to live or die!" Ben  Duoshizheng characterized this group of people, held the rosary in his hand and asked, "I wonder what the owner is going to do with them?" "No hurry no rush!" Kira Yoshishi was still lowering his head and playing with the small flags,  After a while, everyone sat down after everything was arranged. At this time, several young people walked in with big hot bowls. Ji Liangyoshi greeted the ministers: "It's not easy for everyone to work hard all day, come and try something new."  The crucian carp soup is very nourishing! It is especially good for Master's sleep problems!" "Is that so? I will drink more crucian carp soup in the future!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki took it with a smile.  A large bowl of crucian carp soup contains a palm-long crucian carp. The fried and stewed crucian carp soup is different from the previous method.  Both the fish soup and the fish meat must be of a higher quality.  Life with soybean oil is different.  Heat the oil pan and fry the fish until golden brown.  After taking it out, add onion, ginger, garlic and pepper and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the fried crucian carp, chicken stock, a little sake, and black pepper until it boils and skims off the foam.  At Yamamoto Tokiyuki's age, he didn't care about the rules against eating meat, and the fact that the Kira family had been adding some pork, beef, and mutton to the young samurai could not be hidden from his ears. Kira Yoshitoki once said in private that samurai are not tall.  , the fundamental reason for low strength is too much dietary problems.  And there is one of the most shocking reasons, that is beriberi.  "Can this treat athlete's foot?" Tokiyuki Yamamoto's weather-beaten face couldn't help but be moved. The so-called athlete's foot is not true athlete's foot, but a complex disease caused by foot disease, which can cause the inability to walk, asthma, general edema, and heartbeat.  Many complications such as overspeeding are caused by the lack of a reasonable diet. The treatment method is nothing more than eating rice bran or eating more meat and eggs.  Perhaps many people have never imagined that the most terrifying disease for Japan is the little-known beriberi. The word "beriberi" first appeared in Japanese history books in the "Postscript of Japan" in the third year of Datong, AD 808.  In December, Fujiwara's court minister Otsusugu said: "I am not very old. My eyes are a little dark, and I am suffering from athlete's foot again, and it will not develop in time." In addition, there are many records, such as the "Nihon Shoki" Preface to the Succession of Emperor Yunk¨­  There is "I am not the best, I have been suffering from chronic illness for a long time, and I can't walk." In the records of the third year of Huangji, 644 AD, it appears that "the prince suffered from a foot and did not go to court." "Kojiki" Keixing Emperor's Chronicles  "But now I can't stop." "Continued Nihonki" recorded in the 16th year of Tianhei, 744 AD, "Prince Anzu returned from Sakurai Ton Palace due to foot disease, and Ding Chou died at the age of seventeen." including  The late former shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu was also "unable to walk" and had edema all over his body in the later period. He was thought to have died of athlete's foot. Doctors in Kyoto debated this issue for a long time, and finally it was Nause Michichi who finally made the final decision.  , because Ashikaga Yoshiharu's symptoms include "asthma", "collapse" and "not eating".  This statement is a bit sensational. Anyway, no one knows whether it is true or not. Let's just assume it is true. This is how the Kira family warriors see it. It doesn't matter what other people think. Who can say anything about it being done secretly?  It's not a big deal even if someone accuses me of it. It doesn't matter if I'm thick-skinned and say that I ate mountain whales, mountain fish, mountain kelp, etc.  From Kamakura to the Warring States Period, why do so many samurai love eagle hunting?  Don't look at their high-sounding words about how to hone the art of bow and horse without forgetting the roots. In fact, they are all for eating some game and beating teeth as a sacrifice. This kind of thing has not stopped for hundreds of years, but it has been spread among noble families.  It's just a tacit understanding, only those servants of wealthy families can stupidly abide by the rules.  "Can it cure athlete's foot?" We know what surprises them. The number one disease killer of this era has been a terrible disease that has plagued them for more than a thousand years. Several generations of Tokugawa shogunate including a certain turtle died of mysterious illness, including Tokugawa Iemitsu, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and Tokugawa Iemitsu.  Kawa Ietsuna, Tokugawa Iedada, and Tokugawa Iemo. It can be said that this disease caused the Tokugawa family to fight for unification for hundreds of years, and everything was ruined by the existence of Mito Clan, a cheating teammate.  "It's not wrong. If you don't believe it, go and check Ma Hui, Chi Bei and the rest of the family. Absolutely no one has beriberi." Yamamoto Tokiyuki tugged on his beard and thought: "In this case, it is indeed necessary to treat  You're used to eating!" "That's not right!" Several voices came out at the same time. Hosokawa Fujitaka, Honda Tokimasa, and Namioka Sofou all shook their heads. The three of them looked at each other and let Hosokawa Fujitaka say first: "This is not appropriate.  After the Kira family entered Echiko, it was better to adjust the dietary structure slowly rather than hastily. " "Yes, the warlord is right, the old minister was too hasty." Yamamoto Tokiyuki did not explain, but said casually.He smiled ecstatically, how could he not know whether it was better to take it slow than to rush?  This family elder is proficient in admonishment, so he naturally knows how to use other people's words to achieve his own goals.  Hosokawa Fujitaka relied on his adoptive father to die fighting for the shogunate and his own merits as the Kira family appointee. At the beginning of the year, he successfully promoted the fifth rank of the military department to the rank of Daisuke. Yamamoto Tokiyuki also promoted his rank to the sixth rank of Sado Mamoru at the beginning of the year.  The difference in official ranks between the two is still due to their origins.  Of course, this impact is very small. There is no habit of comparing family status in the Kira family, because everyone is a retainer of the Kira family. There are no land disputes or military power entanglements. They are all direct ministers of Kira Yoshitoki, and the relationship is far more harmonious than other samurai families.  Much.  "Ah, I know, don't look at me like that!" Kira Yoshi was pretending to be stupid again. He lowered his head and wiped out a large bowl of fish soup, then rubbed his eyes and waved to the retainers and walked away.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
