    Tokudaiji Temple's words awakened the dreamer, and the strange movements of Etchu immediately attracted the Kira family's great attention. In the past, the Kira Ninja Army mostly ignored the information on Etchu, mainly because the Genzaru Ninja had been responsible for this area for a long time.  , Crossing over and wasting intelligence resources can also easily cause some misunderstandings.  The strange movements from Tonami County in central and western Vietnam were not noticed by the Genzaru ninjas at the first time. If it were not for the fact that Tokudaiji Koji lived in Etchu in his early years and stayed at his uncle's house in Noto for many days before defecting to Echigo, he accidentally learned about Tonami.  As soon as there was any change in the county, he immediately fled to Echigo to report the news.  Kira Yoshitomo immediately realized how terrible this information was, and held an evaluation meeting overnight to discuss. While thinking about countermeasures, secret reports from Koshinobu and Kanto were like pebbles dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples in the Kira family.  , inadvertently, mountain-like dark clouds covered the land of Echigo, and a violent storm was quietly brewing in the dark clouds.  As the chief general of the Kira family's internal reserve force, Watanabe Takatsuna frowned tightly: "Tens of thousands of Ichikuichi troops have gathered in Tonami County, and an unknown number of Kaga Ichikuichi troops are gathering towards Echichu. The intention is  "Where is it?" "War! It's just war." Yamamoto Tokiyuki seemed to wake up from the memories and smiled calmly: "Old minister, I thought of some old things again. I'm afraid it won't be that simple for many days."  The emergency meeting lasted from morning to midnight, which made the samurai physically and mentally exhausted. From the beginning of the meeting until now, Namiogaoka has been uncharacteristically silent. He was either holding information and comparing the map in a daze, or pacing back and forth as if thinking.  What a vexing question.  At this moment, when he heard Yamamoto Tokiyuki's words, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred and he jumped up in shock: "Oops! Sado-dono is right. There is only war! But it is not a war between Vietnam and China. It is a bigger war.  The conference was beyond our expectations! " "A bigger war could it be?" Honda's face turned pale, thinking of a possibility, he grabbed the information and kept searching, saying: "Vietnam in early May.  There was a sudden movement at Ichikui, a sudden movement at Kaga Ichikui on May 25th, a sudden movement at Kai on May 28th, a sudden movement at Izu, Sagami, and Musashi on June 3rd, as well as a sudden movement at Aizu two days ago. The military situation is unknown"  Shocked and incoherent.  Several people murmured to themselves: "Could it be thatcould it be said that it is?" "The encirclement, the anti-Etsuchi alliance, is it aimed at my family or my brother?" Kira Yoshishi closed his eyes tightly, his expression changing, and the person who was standing by his side  Iwakuru looked at his master worriedly. He could clearly feel how angry the invincible governor was, and every word he uttered seemed to be filled with anger in his chest.  The atmosphere in the room was stagnant. Takigawa Tokimasu, who had just deserted, was also woken up by the neighboring Shima Tokikatsu. He looked at the stagnant atmosphere in the evaluation room with confusion and asked: "What's going on?" Nagasaka Nobumasa left  He curled his lips: "Why don't we have to fight together? What's there to be afraid of?" "Kuroro said it well, there's nothing to be afraid of. Isn't it just a joint battle! My Jizhu Spear is already thirsty and unbearable!" Taki  Chuan Shiyi laughed heartlessly, attracting many eyes in the evaluation room.  Honjo Noganaga, Hojo Takahiro and Kurokawa Kiyomito looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.  Think about it, the person who was besieged last time was Hojo Ujiyasu. For the first time in the night battle of Nagotsu, he single-handedly defeated the 80,000 Kanto coalition forces and gained a great reputation. In the Tianbun Rebellion in the past few years, he defeated the many with less.  Several wonderful comebacks were staged.  In the earlier Nagasho Rebellion, Nagao Mikake defeated Echigo Uesugi's army and killed Echigo's guard Uesugi Fusano, attracting the army of Kant¨­ Commander Uesugi Gosada. In a desperate battle, Nagao, who was outnumbered,  At the battle of Nagamorihara, he won over the Kanto commander Uesugi Yoshisada and became a powerful figure in the Etsuki Empire.  As for the more ancient history, there is no need to talk about it. These histories all have a distinctive feature. The enemy forces pressed forward in large numbers with light troops. They took the lead to gain an advantage and relaxed their vigilance. Only then were they defeated with fewer and more, and the weak defeated the strong, and the situation collapsed.  A disastrous defeat, but no one can tell what the situation will be this time.  There was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the assessment room, the closed door was opened, and a small surname outside the door was heard singing: "Nagao Danzenmai has arrived! Nagao Yuzengamaru, Honjo Mimasaku, Nagao Echizenmama  Naoe Yamato is here!" The long-tailed Kagetora, wearing fish skin and white silk hanging down, strode into the evaluation room. He looked particularly majestic with his beard, and his bright eyes burst out with a strong fighting spirit: "Yi Toki, we must do it.  Ready to go into battle!" "Brother, have you noticed it yet?" Ji Liangyi smiled helplessly: "Yes, how can such an obvious move be deceived? This alliance must have been brewing for a long time!"  Abnormal behavior is enough to alert knowledgeable people. Echigo is no longer the Echigo it used to be. It has transformed from a poor country into the most powerful state in the world today.The prosperous and powerful Echigo exerted invisible pressure on the surrounding lords. Even if Echigo had no intention of getting involved, they would have trouble sleeping and eating.  Especially in the past few years, Echigo has successively issued government decrees that are beneficial to farmers. There are more and more cases of farmers in nearby states abandoning their fields and moving their families. For these local lords, Echigo means a terrible disaster, because they  They are willing to accept the peasants unconditionally, but they will not accept them, the national lords, and refuse to recognize their lordship status, because the land in Echigo is owned by the owner and will not give them a penny.  In the past few years, Echigo has used troops abroad year after year, successfully defeating the arrogant Takeda family and Hojo family time and time again, forcing the losers to unite with each other to fight back against Echigo. This change is far beyond their expectations, but if you think about it, it seems  It makes sense.  It is conceivable that the Kira family's boiling frog strategy against the Shinano country is exhausting the last trace of the Takeda family's trust in Shinano. Nagao Kagetora, who is destined to accept the post of Kanto governor, must regain the old territory of Uesugi.  Taking action against Ueno and Musashi will inevitably lead to a direct conflict between the Nagao family and the Hojo family.  Rather than sit back and fight in a corner, it is better to fight together. It is not surprising that they made such a decision. The strategies of Takeda Harunobu and Hojo Ujiyasu are enough to preside over this alliance. The appeal of the two together is greater than that of the two.  .  Nagao Kagetora strode into the evaluation room and sat next to Kira Yoshitoki. His firm eyes scanned the samurai in the room: "No matter how many conspiracies there are, we will never change our loyalty to the shogunate. We will conquer Shinano and calm Ueno."  It was at the invitation of the Kanto Governor and the former Shinano Guardian, and those despicable people have evil intentions and intend to destroy my great momentum of Echigo. I, Kagetora, will never tolerate them." Honjo Minoru nodded in agreement: "I'll wait.  Sending troops to Shinano and aiding Ueno out of righteousness is morally blameless, so why should we be afraid! If he wants to fight, then fight!" The addition of the Nagao retainers made the atmosphere lively, and they greeted each other and gave up their seats.  The atmosphere dissipated, and Honda Tokimasa smiled at the right time and said: "My lord is the governor of the Ashikaga family, the garrison general, and the guardian of Shinano. So far, the troops sent to Shinano have followed the laws of the shogunate, such as Takeda, Hojo and other tigers and wolves, and they have vain plans.  It would be a big mistake to threaten me with such an evil alliance! We will never admit defeat!" Namigaoka Tokimasa was even more confused and worried about the intelligence for a long time: "I am more concerned about what they will do!  How to fight? What preparations should we make! Now that mid-June is only three months away from autumn, it seems that they will send troops in ten months. It seems that there is not much time left for us. " "We can only divide our troops!  Let's fight!" Nagao Kagetora raised his eyebrows and pointed at the large map hanging on the wall: "The enemy's movements are coming from all directions, and the main force is the Kahi Takeda clan in the south of Echigo and the Sagami Hojo clan in the west.  It¡¯s unclear how many troops there are. The Ashina clan in the northeast and the Mogami clan in the north are also moving. The only solution is to divide the troops! " "Absolute military disadvantage!" Nagao Masakai stared at several blue arrows and surrounded Echigo from all directions.  , smiled bitterly: "It is good to divide the troops, but how many troops can be divided in Echigo? No matter how the troops are divided, the direction of the formation is fixed, there must be a focus!" The samurai present frowned at the same time, if not counting the Kira Legion  , just looking at the "Echigo Military Service Account" established last year, it is well known that the entire Nagao family has a military service of 15,000. Although this does not mean that there are only so many professional soldiers in Echigo, the absolute gap in numbers cannot be reversed.  of.  Namioka Totobo rubbed his sour eyes and said: "It seems that Kai Takeda and Sagami Hojo should be the main messengers. These two families will definitely attack with all their strength. According to the information at hand, the Takeda family's mobilization force is between 18,000 and 2,000  The mobilization force of the Hojo family is between 35,000 and 42,000, while the mobilization force of the Hojo family is between 35,000 and 42,000. The current situation of the Ashina family and the Mogami family is unknown, and they must not be easy to deal with. There is also Etsuchu, who has always been polite. Overall,  Judging from the total siege, it is likely that there will be more than 100,000 people!" The generals in the field quickly expressed different opinions: "Isn't it alarmist to use all the troops to stay in the city?  Isn't it going to end if there is a rebellion? I don't believe they will come out in full force!" "Maybe, maybe not, but what difference does it make? We are planning for the worst, and we will fight with 100,000 people.  As fighting a war with 50,000 men is a way to get killed, I believe that the enemy should not be overestimated or underestimated in war. To fight a war with 100,000 men, be prepared for 100,000 men. Even if there are more of them, they will not be seen.  "We have to win." "What do you mean by this?" Nangang Toutang smiled and said: "The other party has different intentions and orders, but our army is united and has strict military discipline. This way, the farmers and soldiers will win!"  The morale of the mixed army is low, but our army is well-equipped and has high morale. This soldier wins! He who goes against the trend and repeatedly violates the border is unjust, and our Lord respects the curtain.According to the law, if you practice the righteousness of the martial arts and attack those who are disobedient, this righteousness will win!  He showed off his military might in response to the invasion of Echigo and used his troops to plunder each other, which was unpopular. Our Lord managed the army well enough to bring enough food and supplies to calm the people's hearts. This is the victory of benevolence!  He is capricious and treacherous, and it is unethical to harm the government to pursue and kill the governor. Our Lord has made laws and decrees and must do so with the respect of the people at home. This virtue is victorious!  He wantonly killed the lord and repeatedly ignored the shogunate's orders, which was disloyal. Our lord respected the shogunate and obeyed the official orders to suppress the chaos in the Eastern Kingdom. This loyalty wins!  The alliance was defeated repeatedly but still rebelled against it. Our lord showed mercy several times but still failed to kill them all. This is a victory!  There are endless conspiracies and assassinations. Our army is an upright division and makes all its plans upright. This is how we will win!  Their land is barren and their people are poor, but our fields are fertile and rich in products. This is a victory!  If the ministers of the shogunate fail to obey the orders of the shogunate, my lord is the superior of the Ashikaga family and has been granted seven exemptions from the Ashikaga. He writes a letter on behalf of the general to attack the disobedient disciples. This is the way to win!  Our army has won ten victories. Although their alliance has many people and strength, there is nothing to fear!  " "What a win and ten defeats!  With these ten victories, how can our army not be victorious!  Ji Liangyi immediately stood up and slapped the table, shouting: "Everyone, listen to the order!"  I have written the order in this letter.  From now on.  All Echigo mobilized.  The farmers and townspeople who are idle take up arms and receive training. I will pay for the food and medical expenses during the training. It is the duty of the Dobo family to protect the family!  Gentlemen, take up arms and fight!  "    "ha!  "The warriors nodded in agreement excitedly. ""Three Kingdoms" is not in vain, and it actually comes up with ten victories and ten defeats. It seems to be a bit of a strategic contempt for the enemy, and a tactical emphasis on the enemy It's really interesting.  " Kira Yoshih cast an approving look at the Namioka Tower. On June 12, Echigo issued an emergency mobilization order. It required everyone from the towns and villages to the lords to take up arms and organize themselves.  They must shoulder heavy responsibilities, and each village must ensure that no traitors will appear. While the united front is at the village level, Shinano and Ueno have also received mobilization orders one after another. As a neighbor of the Kira family, Shinano was unconditionally ordered.  Military service was called for, and in an instant, six thousand troops gathered in the Northern Shinano area north of Kozun County, including Murakami Yoshikiyo, Takanashi Masayori, Kakizaki Kageie, Yasuda Keimoto, and Yoshie.  Keizi, Usami Sadamitsu and others were also incorporated into the Kira Legion. On the other hand, the Ueno people responded differently to Echigo's emergency mobilization. Most of them were raised.  O Kagetora was frightened, at least because of Nagao Kagetora's invincible momentum. For example, the Ueno Numada family and others took on the role of leading the party early and spared no effort in waving the flag and shouting, patching up more than 3,000 people.  The reaction of Nishi Ueno was slightly delayed, as if they were here to prepare for the military service of the Nagao family. Perhaps they did not understand what medicine was being sold in Echigo's gourd, and the people of the country lacked strong intelligence sources.  They didn't know yet that there was a big chaos coming from Kira in Kanto, but they only had two days to hesitate. In just two days, new changes occurred in Kanto, Hokuriku and even Yuao, Kai Takeda, Sagami Hojo, Etsu.  Nakajinbo, Dewa Mogami, Aizu Ashina, and Iwashiro Date successively announced their intention to join Echigo. A huge encirclement network was formed, and the nominal leader turned out to be Furukawa Lord Ashikaga Fujimasa. The reasons for these companies to join Echigo were different.  They are all the same, Kai Takeda is for Shinano, Sagami Hojo is for Ueno, Echu Jinbo and Ichigo are for revenge. The reason proposed by Dewa Mogami is more bizarre. To avenge the main dealer, Honjo Shigenaga was almost angry to death when he heard the news. Aizu Ashina  The reaction of the Iwashiro Date family was vague, saying that they were supporting the Mogami family as allies. In short, these two families were the least confident. As the leader of the alliance, Ashikaga Fujimasa, the leader of the Furukawa family, gave high-sounding reasons. Echigo Kira and Naga.  The last two families bullied neighboring countries, robbed good people, massacred people and persecuted wealthy families. Therefore, he ordered a crusade in the name of Lord Furukawa, but it sounds good to say that all the people of Kanto should send troops to participate, but in fact the effect is almost the same.  No, the people of Kanto should fight wars and fight within themselves. For example, the new ally of the Hojo family, the Oda family, said that they have Satake inside and Yuki outside, so they cannot join the formation. Please understand me. The Chiba family will follow suit.  He defined himself as a soy sauce player, and other members of the same formation, such as Ohta Shimasa from Iwafu Castle, Narita Chotae from Ninja Castle, and others also came to play soy sauce. Kanto used various reasons to send troops to Echigo as a defender.  The Kira family could not let them take advantage of it in vain. When Echigo issued an emergency mobilization order, Kira Yoshitsune sent a secret envoy to Kinai by boat overnight with a letter. Their task was to safely carry the letter to Sakamoto and hand it over to the boss.  Tate Harutada, who would then forward it to His Highness the Shogun of the Shogunate.  The imperial court also made a corresponding decision, and letters were also sent to Kyoto to his uncle Nakain Michio, his sworn brother and brother-in-law Konoe's predecessor, "Kuseyou Minister" Kuga Haremichi, and Kikuttei Haruyuki. They have been operating in Kyoto for many years.The connections must be activated at this moment. Nearly half of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have close relationships with the Kira family. This is his confidence.  Of course, he can't just count on the shogunate and the court to help him much. The reputation of Dayi and the support of the court and shogunate can only be relied on. In the end, he still has to rely on his own fists and hard skills to suppress the menacing enemy army. Before that, he  Published a series of righteous rebuttals, leaving no trace of face in the criticism by Furukawa K¨­k¨­ and other party members.  Numerous notices were posted overnight in the streets and alleys of major towns in Ueno Province, Shimono Province, Musashi Province, Sagami Province, Shimosu Province, Uamisu Province, Anbo Province, and Izu Province. When the townspeople woke up in the morning, they saw  When making these announcements, everyone had an incredibly big mouth.  The elders gathered in the town carefully stared at the notice and recited in a low voice: "Mr. Furukawa is a noble nobleman of the Genji family and cannot respect the shogunate. He cannot appease the people and lead the people. In order to survive in the world, he married his former enemy and had a son-in-law in a grand manner.  Son-in-law, this kind of behavior is really a shame for the samurai family! The modern Furukawa family has five sons. The eldest son, Fuji and Umechiyo Omaru, died in infancy. The two younger brothers of the current Ashikaga Fujimasa were not sick, but they were married.  They died violently at the same time less than ten months later. I don¡¯t know the reason for this. Such capricious and shameless people should be despised by the world and despised by the ancestors.  After the general's order came out of Echigo, Soe was guarded by Shinano, and the general in charge of the garrison has always adhered to his duty to expel Shinano's invading enemies. The Sagami Hojo clan repeatedly attacked Ueno, forcing the Kanto governor Kensei Uesugi to flee to Echigo.  What's wrong with us for going out to defend the shogunate and go out to attack the rebels? Just like Kai Takeda's assassination plan last year, which led to Ichigo burning and attacking Echigo, what's the point of executing the criminals after the plan was discovered?  Is it your fault? Echigo suffered a calamity for no reason. It is unrighteous to besieged by Xiaoxiao! Those who are unfaithful, unfilial, trustworthy and unjust should be punished by the heroes of the world. I will uphold the great justice of the shogunate!  , respecting the order of the Ashikaga Right Admiral to attack the disobedient members of the Eastern Kingdom, the Ashikaga Shichimonsurishu ordered the people of the country, and those who take it as their own duty to uphold the justice of the world and the laws of the shogunate, take up arms and rush to the Echigo camp, and swear an oath in the name of the Ashikaga family, to be loyal and brave  Those who abide by the law will be rewarded generously!" As the chanting became louder and louder, people's expressions gradually changed. They swallowed quietly and stammered: "This this is a declaration of war.  "Come on!" People were surprised by this majestic letter and murmured to themselves: "What a powerful letter!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster updates!
