    When Goshiki Bei suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, Nagao Kagetora immediately thought of many possibilities. He didn't know where Goseki Bei was transferred to, but he knew very well that the Hojo Army was making a last ditch effort, whether it was against Nagao.  It is very dangerous whether the Tai army fights for his life or the Ueno army fights for his life. The rabbit bites people when it is anxious. What good will it do to Nagao Kagetora by forcing Hojo Ujiyasu to become anxious?  This year's war is a self-defense counterattack, not a Musashi invasion war. There is no gain in fighting this war. It will not benefit our side to fight against Hojo and kill Hojo Uyasu. Not only will it destroy the wealth of the 15,000-strong army, but it will also offend Hojo.  The worst thing about all the samurai in the family is that the Nagao Army does not have the strength to conquer the Three Kingdoms territory of the Hojo family.  The main force of the Hojo family is dead. The governor is killed and they are not far away from destruction. If you can't get the big benefits of the territories of Musashi, Sagami, and Izu, you will inevitably give them to the people of Kanto. How about working hard to make wedding clothes for others?  A kind of mood, not to mention that Echigo is now surrounded by enemies, and Nagao Kagetora has no time to fight with the Hojo family.  Looking at the flag of the Dihuo Hachiman disappearing gradually, Nagao Kagetora breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Send the order, the whole army will turn around to encircle and suppress the Hojo Rangers It is best to capture Hojo Shige and his subordinates alive. I will keep him for great use."  Saito Asanobu was very dissatisfied. He felt that it was a waste to kill the Hojo Rangers who were attacking from both sides at this time. As soon as he received the general's order, he rushed to the main formation and begged: "The Rangers are just a bunch of babies.  Xue Yong and the sneak attack killed two thousand of us, but now they were killed by the Higashino Ueno countryman. I saw that the formation was scattered and the army had no intention of fighting. Even if the stalemate continued like this, it would not take a moment or three to collapse.  "Naoe Keizuna kindly reminded: "It will be dark in one quarter." "Hey! It's just autumn. It doesn't matter if it's dark. My lord said that it's not difficult to capture him alive. I can capture him alive."  That kid army, please allow me to kill more enemies and capture more enemies!" Saito Asanobu's mouth was very slippery, and when he saw Nagao Kagetora's expression was wrong, he immediately changed the killing to capturing.  .  Nagao Kagetora's face softened slightly, and his tone became calmer: "If you want to capture the enemy, then go ahead, but I have something to say first. Although it is good to capture the enemy, you cannot defeat your son. I don't like to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight.  "Hundreds of tactics." "Okay!" Sait¨­ said, riding away.  The entire Nagatail Army turned around like a whirlwind blowing across the battlefield, turning back to attack the special forces behind the attack. Everyone in the Hojo family seemed very powerless in response to this change. There were 12,000 against 6,000, and there were almost 3,000 Higashino Ueno people behind them to help out.  It seemed that there was no hope. The moment Nagao Kagetora entered the battle, Hojo Ushishige's military deployment was completely disrupted.  "How come there are so many Kagemusha? Which one is the real one? Bastard!" Hojo Shigeba sweated profusely while holding up his big gun. He hesitated for a moment and was spotted by one of the black-armored Kagemusha.  A gun suddenly came from the ground, and he subconsciously raised the gun to block the blow.  The two fought very fiercely, both using deadly moves to deal with each other.  In just a short moment, they fought for twelve or three times, and their movements slowed down in unison.  Sweat flowed down his forehead, soaking in the corners of his eyes and making it sticky between his eyelashes, making it extremely uncomfortable. However, Hojo Shigeki did not dare to be careless at all. He knew that as long as he made one more move, the samurai opposite would take his life.  Sweat dripped down to the corner of his mouth, and a bitter feeling hit his taste buds, and he cursed secretly: "It's really troublesome! How can this warrior of the Nagao Army be so fierce! Is he Nagao Kagetora?" Hojo Ushige suddenly had an extremely dangerous intuition,  It was as if he had been hit by an electric shock, and the cold air went straight to the back of his head, and the hairs all over his body exploded. The next moment, a tall and burly black-armored warrior was seen suddenly shooting out of the diagonal stab, and the powerful momentum instantly made him feel uncomfortable.  His fighting spirit was reduced by half.  "Oops! This man is as brave as my fatheror even more powerful! He is invincible, absolutely invincible!" Hojo Ujishige's right eyelid twitched and he subconsciously wanted to avoid his sharp edge, but he ignored that there was another difficult person in front of him.  The black-armored shadow dancer stared at him, and when he was about to pull out his horse and escape, his retreat was blocked by a big gun.  He knew that the black-armored shadow dancer was at the same level as him. If he forced his way out, he would be seriously injured. This hesitation entangled the black-armored shadow warrior. The black-armored warrior was getting closer and closer to Hojo.  The head of the warrior in the army was separated, and a big black gun seemed to be a life-harvesting scythe that could easily take away a life every time it was shot.  When the black-armored general approached him, Hojo Ujishige suddenly realized: "You are Zhong Kui! Saito Shimono Asanobu!" "Hahaha! Bring it to me!" Saito Asanobu only met him face to face.  , he rounded up Hojo's weapon with a big gun and knocked it out of his hand. Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, his left hand suddenly reached out, grabbed it under his arm, and actually captured the younger generation's top general of the Hojo family alive.  "You bastard! Put me down!" BeiShigeru was so angry that he was dizzy and struggled like crazy. Saito Asanobu thought he was noisy, so he lifted Jinhaori and slammed it on the saddle. His head hit the saddle bridge and he fainted on the spot. He also needed a coma urgently.  To escape this terrible nightmare.  In front of thousands of people, Hojo Ujishige was captured alive by Saito Asanobu. The morale of the Hojo Army Rangers collapsed on the spot. The Nagatail Army, which was surrounded on all sides, had no way to escape and had to raise its weapons and surrender obediently. Hojo Ujishige was captured alive.  Before it was over, Saito Asanobu led the wolf-like Echigo cavalry to turn around and charge towards the main force of the Hojo Army.  The three soy sauce men of the Nagao family, Numata Youtai, Ueno Shichibongun and other Ueno people also gathered with the remaining defeated generals. At this time, the news that Nagano Yasumasa was captured reached the ears of Nagao Kagetora. At the critical moment, the Hojo family  He also made the same decision. Destroying the enemy troops would have no effect. The enemy could only be restrained by having hostages in hand.  "But I still won this time. I have Hojo Ushishige and more than 3,000 Hojo troops in my hands. What can I do about the situation of the Hojo family?" At this point, Nagao Kagetora did not intend to charge into the battle, and led the battle to hold on.  The formation is waiting for the end of the war.  As soon as the Hojo Army saw the long-tailed cavalry coming back, they understood. The Hojo Rangers were either dead or surrendered. The situation at home was extremely dangerous. The reserve units worked hard to shrink their fronts and retreat. Under the setting sun, the Hojo Army's morale and physical strength were almost exhausted.  All.  How dare you tangle with the long-tailed cavalry?  Everyone wished they could grow a pair of wings under their ribs and fly out of the land of right and wrong.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Hojo Uyasu had to order a retreat. He was not a god and could not reverse the crisis of the army's disorganization.  Fortunately, Saito Asanobu did not dare to act rashly. The two thousand cavalrymen cruised past the five-colored soldiers who were waiting for them. They did not touch the difficult persimmons and picked the soft ones. After going around half a circle, he finally found the soft persimmons.  The Chinese People's Army is trying its best to crowd in. The quality of the soldiers is not very good, and their response is even slower.  Everyone was running for their lives and they were left behind.  "I really encountered a big fish, hey! Why are there two Ashikaga two flags?" Saito looked carefully at Nobubu, and saw that there was such a fourteen-year-old boy surrounded by the Shimoguo army.  Their costumes and flags immediately guessed their origins: "What a Furukawa family, this is an incredible big fish! Listen to me, gentlemen! The big fish we want to catch is ahead of us, please pay attention."  Don't be hurt at all!" "Ha!" Two thousand cavalry broke into the Xiahui Army. This group of two thousand people organized by the Qianye people and the Furukawa people was no match for the long-tailed cavalry.  Xin rushed over like a wolf and was scared to death. The long-tailed soldiers relaxed their vigilance when they saw how relaxed they were. Some soldiers began to use sarcastic words to tease them.  I thought that the people of Xiahui would definitely give in.  Unexpectedly, there are always exceptions to everything. Chiba Qinyin, the only seventeen-year-old family governor of the Chiba family, could not bear all kinds of insults.  When the retainer was not paying attention, he rushed out of the heavily guarded army on his own. He drew his sword and killed the long-tailed samurai who had humiliated him with one blow. Then he was stabbed through a bunch of holes by more than a dozen long-tailed cavalry, both man and horse.  When Saito Asanobu learned the news, he was tying up Harusuke Kada, the actual leader of the Furukawa clan. Ashikaga Fujimasa did not dare to get on the rope, so he could only send two capable samurai to drag him back to the main formation. He could only  The old man from the Hodashiro family came to take the punishment on his behalf. Ashikaga Fujimasa shouted angrily: "Don't you bastards know who I am? If you are wise, let me go quickly, otherwise you will be in a dilemma of life and death!" "Oh! The word "dilemma of life and death" is used.  You are so elegant, doesn¡¯t it mean that you can¡¯t live without dying? I¡¯ll follow up on all the moves in Furukawa Hall, please!¡± Saito glanced at the indignant Ashikaga Fujimasa, and saw the trembling movements of his hands and feet.  You can tell that this young master has a fierce look and a very soft heart.  Comparing his adoptive brother Yoshitoki Kira with this idiot, there is a world of difference. In terms of ability, skills and popularity, Yoshitoki Kira is much higher than him. When Yoshitoki Kira was thirteen or fourteen years old,  He has long been famous all over the world, and this thirteen or fourteen-year-old man is only qualified to be the puppet of the Hojo family.  The Chiba family was very interesting and immediately declared that Chiba Shinyin's death was just a small accident. Chiba Yintomi, the uncle of the deceased, immediately said when Saito came over: "My nephew's head is not very good. He just rushed into your army."  I'm really sorry for killing the samurai. We are willing to pay any compensation required." Saito Asanobu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Well, I, Asanobu, like to talk to smart people. The guy who died just now was named Yano Kanno.  My lord's Hatamoto Rider Samurai, do you know what it is? It's the Rider Kaishou of the Hojo family. This boy has a cousin, Yano Tsunao, who is also a Rider Samurai. He is the only one of his generation in his family. He has one son.  The family is getting married next year, and the family has forty steps of land. Because of the impulse of the nephew, the Yano family will be extinct. Did you know? " Chiba Yinfu, who is broad and fat, twitched the corner of his mouth, and he also  Knowing that Echigo Zhong Kui was going to kill people, he quickly made a very sincere apology: "Uhyes! We express our condolences to the Yanoden family for their misfortune."Sorry, please tell us how much the compensation will be, and we will do our best!  " "Well, let me think about it!  Saito said secretly to Nobu: "It's okay to kill him with one sword, but don't go too far. If you are forced to sue the lord, it will be troublesome."  " Thinking about it, he stretched out a finger, which meant that one hundred guan would be enough. Seeing this number, Qianye Yinfu was shocked and said in panic: "One thousand guan!  This is really a bit" "Huh?  " Saito Chao Xin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his brothers, thinking to himself: When did I say a thousand guan? If we get a higher number later, wouldn't it be a hundred guan? "Okay!  A thousand guan is a thousand guan. I will give it to you when I return home after this battle is over.  "Chiba Yinfu had a bitter face, and his fat face was twitching in pain. It was obviously enough to give him a headache for a long time. Qian Guan is not a small number in the Chiba family. It can be imagined that the life of the Chiba family in the second half of the year will definitely be very difficult.  Sad, I had to eat rice bran to get through it. Saito Chaobu used two thousand to catch two thousand, and he caught Ashikaga Fujimasa, who was also a big fish. It was a pity that the kid had the head.  An unconscious person dies at the right time. After emergency consultations, the Chiba family retainers decided to co-opt Chiba Yinfu as the governor of the Chiba family. The deceased Chiba Yinfu did not even have a main wife, and his lineage was extinct.  , I can only take advantage of this timid fat man. Nagao Kagetora didn't expect that he could really catch two big fish, only one unlucky person was injured, and no one was seriously injured. One person died in exchange for one.  Sengan compensates. The life of the Echigo samurai is not too valuable! Nagao retainer Danraku twisted his mouth and hurriedly stopped Saito Asanobu's attempt to catch people. The Hojo family would never give him a second chance after being fooled once.  , besides it was getting late, it was better to withdraw the troops and seize the battle. The high mountain battle finally came to an end before sunset. After a whole day of thrilling battle, the soldiers were exhausted from running around all day. They didn't even bother to put on their armor as soon as they returned to the camp.  He took off his head and went to sleep. He slept until noon the next day before getting up. The samurai on both sides gathered in the Nagao family's military tent to hold a military meeting.  The Higashi Ueno people headed by them suddenly appeared at the critical moment and destroyed the Hojo family's last hope of comeback. These three people were worthy of being the number one contributors, and the other samurai were also convinced by their first effort.  Kiryu Suketsuna and Yamayama Teruhisa seemed very happy. Kiryu Suketsuna suddenly told Yamayama Teruhisa to help the Nagao family. Sooner or later, a countryman who does nothing will be swallowed up by the tide of the times. Kiryu Suketsuna is already over 40 years old and has nothing to do.  Son, Teruji Yamayama has accomplished nothing since he was in his early thirties. If he continues to waste time like this, he might as well give it a try. Compared with those two samurai who dared to fight, Yura Shigeru's honor was a bit tricky. He was not willing to do such stupid things.  What does it have to do with him to beat Nagao and Hojo to death loudly? No matter who wins or loses, he will bow to you when the time comes. Why place a bet to choose sides? He can't defeat two tough-tempered guys and run away alone.  When I went back, I was afraid that my fellow villagers would not be able to raise their heads in the future, so I had to bite the bullet and follow him. You suddenly thought that you got a big deal, and you made a lot of money this time. The second time was Saito Asanobu, who performed very well, and captured him alive in succession.  Hojo Ushige, Ashikaga Fujimasa, Chiba Eutomi, Haden Harusuke and many others. In the next few years, Echigo Zhongkui's reputation was enough to stop children from crying at night, and the other generals were all rewarded, and everyone was happy.  After the military meeting was over, there was a banquet. Saito held up the wine cup and laughed: "Hey!  This battle was so enjoyable!  We Echigo haven't had such a big victory in many years!  " Naoe Keizuna echoed: "Yes!  The last time we won a battle was decades ago, when Jinggong was still alive Not to mention this, considering that the lord's achievements have already caught up with Jinggong, today's victory over the Hojo Army in a battle is a sign of great prosperity!  " Nagao Kagetora waved his hand and said warmly: "You guys are ridiculous. The credit I, Kagetora, have not come from me alone. Without the strong support of Yishitora, I, Kagetora, couldn't have done this. You guys congratulate me and don't mention Yishitora.  But something is terribly wrong.  " As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly seemed very embarrassing. The Ueno people were a little at a loss. Why did this involve Kira Yoshitoki? The Ueno people who couldn't figure out the situation in Echigo collectively misfired. The performance of the Nagao retainers group was very  It¡¯s interesting, some people are convinced, some are indignant, and some are staring blankly at the food and drinks. As a die-hard member of the Kira family, Saito Asanobu decided to do something. ¡°My lord is right!  Without the full support of the shogunate, I would not be where I am today in Echigo. As a member of the Minamoto family, the shogunate is expected by His Highness the Shogunate, and he is responsible for the revitalization of the shogunate. He should be the leader of the samurai family of Echigo and even Hokuriku.  I am waiting to toast you with a glass of wine from afar, wishing the shogunate a rejuvenation and the Minamoto family¡¯s long-lasting military fortune!  " Saito Asanobu clearly jumped out to express his support for Nagao Kagetora. The scene suddenly became different. Nearly half of the Nagao samurai followed Kagetora.During the reign of Yoshiyoshi, there were Nagao Keiren, Nagao Keichika, Nagao Keaki and other clans, as well as Chisaka Keichika, Tairako Fumasa and other retainers of the Echigo-Uesugi faction, and powerful samurai from the Hatamoto Mitakai clan.  Samurai warriors such as Ragan Zaokagemochi, Ishikawa Shigetsu, Ishikawa Nomoto, Karazaki Nomone, and Ozeki Moriken followed later to congratulate him.  The Chinese and Vietnamese Chinese who were slightly slow to respond were Shinzu Katsuki, Hiraga Shigeharu, Katori Yaheita, and Yamagishi Hayatosa, as well as Arakawa Izu Mamoru, Igokono Hiroie, Kachi Harutuna, Yasuda Nagahide, Ayukawa Kiyonaga, Takemata Keizuna and other outstanding leaders.  The Northern Congregation also followed closely behind, and the remaining Shodai Congregation lacked Honjo and could not form an effective resistance at all. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Naoe Keetsuna could only bow his head and submit.  A few days later, the Hojo family sent Hojo Genan as an envoy to Hirai Castle to discuss various matters regarding a truce with Nagao Kagetora.  The first was the exchange of prisoners.  Hojo Ushige and more than 3,000 people under his command exchanged opinions on Nagano Yamasa and his followers.  It basically didn't take much time to reach it smoothly. Both parties understood their respective bottom lines and analyzed the factors before and after these days. There was basically no big problem with this exchange.  The next topic was very difficult. Hojo Genan said unhurriedly: "I, Genan, are ordered by my lord to request the unconditional release of the people of the Shimono Kingdom from Nagao Danzhoden. They are neither samurai of our Hojo family nor have they been hired.  , there is no reason for the Nagao family to capture the people of the Sui Kingdom. What's more, among the prisoners is Furukawa Lord Ashikaga Fujimasa. As a warrior of the East, it is a huge mistake to capture Lord Furukawa. Please think twice about the right and wrong!  That's fine!" Nagao Kagetora secretly smiled, with a look of surprise on his face: "Oh? So the arrival of more than two thousand troops from the Shimo Kingdom has nothing to do with your Hojo family?" Hojo Genan hesitated: "  This" "What the world knows is that Koga Furukawa and the Hojo Sagami Shrine are closely related. At the beginning of the year, Hojo Sagami went out to battle once in Shimonoseki. Today, the Hojo Army led a force of 40,000 people to invade Ueno Country. This Furukawa  The public was the main member that Hojo Sagami came to help. The names of the Furukawa clan and the Chiba clan were included in the "Odawara clan leader's account" established by the Hojo family. Otherwise, how could the people of the Shimonosu country run away for no reason?  Come to Ueno. How could you appear in the main formation of the Hojo army? " "This" Hojo Genan pondered for a long time, seeming to understand that he had fallen into Nagao Kagetora's verbal trap.  He immediately changed his story: "They are indeed guest troops invited by my lord, but they have always followed the rules and did not participate in the war. It is too much to be captured by the Nagao family samurai for no reason!" Nagao Kagetora is not afraid of his tricks at all.  Careful cultivation allowed him to learn many principles of life, and his words influenced by Kira Yoshitoki became sharper than before. He was not panicked when he saw Hojo Genan changing his routine, and calmly said: "On the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate, swords and guns have no eyes, Genan Temple  There should be a full understanding, such as the story of the deaths of Furukawa and Koyumi. Their inaction is not a reason to forgive them. Samurai should have the consciousness to charge and die on the battlefield, such as the murder of two generations of Koyomi and Hojo.  This was the case even when Mr. Furukawa was captured by me, Kagetora. " Danshoden's words are really sharp, which is unusual!" Hojo Genan laughed and said this, which was like telling the other party.  I have already admitted defeat.  It's not that he wants to admit defeat, but reality forces him to negotiate and exchange prisoners as soon as possible, so he can't continue to entangle with Nagao Kagetora calmly. He knows very well that the Hojo family has no confidence to drag on. The Hojo family now tightly blocks Ashikaga Fuji.  As for the news about the capture of the people of Shimono Kingdom, Hojo Ujiyasu pinned all his hopes on Hojo Genan. As for the impact of the news in the future, he could not control it for the time being. It could be postponed for a while.  But there is not much time left to delay. The autumn harvest is approaching and the samurai will definitely have to disarm and return home to participate in the autumn harvest. By then, the news that Ashikaga Fujimasa has been captured will no longer be kept. The longer the delay is, the more damage will be done to Ashikaga Fujimasa's reputation.  The greater the damage, the greater the blow to the prestige of the Hojo family.  No matter how Nagao Kagetora was sarcastic, Hojo Genan always maintained his unflinching diplomat quality while continuing to work hard for the main goal: "Please let me know the conditions you can offer, and we will definitely cooperate as long as we can meet them."  " Nagao Kagetora smiled slightly and said: "My request is very simple. Take it from Musashi Ichikuni and let him go." "His! This is simply" Hojo Genan's face changed and he stood up suddenly.  He was about to get angry, so he waited for a long time before he could squeeze out two words: "Ridiculous!" Hojo Genan was anxious, but Nagao Kagetora calmly persuaded him: "Genan-don, don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly, we have plenty of time.  If you can't negotiate with this condition, let's talk about other conditions!" "No matter what, I can't agree to this condition! Please stop mentioning it in the main hall!" Hojo Genan refused sternly, regardless of whether Nagao Kagetora was true or not.  It is necessary to make a clear statement, and the long tail cannot be allowed to? He thinks that the Hojo family is easy to bully, and some things can be withdrawn while others cannot. As a diplomat, he knows that he cannot give in on important matters such as designing the foundation of the Hojo family.  The two sides are struggling with how much reward the Nagao family should get. The Nagao family retreated from the Musashi country at the beginning, to the Musashi half country, and then to the northern part of the Musashi country including Matsuyama and Kawagoe cities and the territory north of it, but they were still rejected.  Nagao Kagetora dropped Hojo Genan in anger and left him to dry.  Negotiations are temporarily deadlocked.  Both sides clearly know that reaching a peace agreement is not far away.  Soon Hojo Genan proposed.  The proposal was to return Ontake Castle and the surrounding territory in exchange for the people of Shimonoseki and Ashikaga Fujimasa. After repeated negotiations, this proposal was finally adopted by Nagao Kagetora. However, there were some changes in the final agreement. The area of ??territory near Ontake Castle was doubled.  The Hojo family made a promise never to enter the vicinity of Ontake Castle.  At the same time, the Hojo family had to pay the ransom of 30,000 gan Yongle money to redeem the captives, and the war compensation of 20,000 gan Yongle money. To this end, the Nagao retainers specially prepared a compensation list to tell the Hojo family why they wanted so much  money.  Because the 20,000 guan is the cost of the Nagao family sending troops.  When Hojo Genan saw this list, he almost fainted. It included all the soldiers' reward money during the war, food and clothing expenses and even the toilet paper used in the toilet. Hojo Genan was very angry.  I cursed in my heart: "A bunch of rural Ashigaru Deky¨­ still use toilet paper, and they use a hundred sheets a month, who are they trying to coax!" No matter who Nagao Kagetora is coaxing, Hojo Genan has to pinch his nose and give in, and both parties  The delivery of captives, property compensation, and territorial division were delayed until the beginning of the autumn harvest.  Taking this opportunity, Nagao Kagetora invited people from all walks of life in Kanto to come to Hirai Castle to hold a Japanese song gathering, taking the opportunity to show off the achievements of this war and the powerful force of Echigo.  By this time, the main force of the Hojo family had already returned to Odawara.  Everything was left to Hojo Genan to take care of. The old monk also participated in this Waka event and even sang a song on the spot with a very helpless expression. Obviously Hojo Ujiyasu really didn't want to lose face anymore, so he could only let his uncle  He reluctantly took on the position of taking the blame and making a fool of himself.  During this period, war statistics also basically showed that the Nagao family lost more than 3,000 lives, and another 6,000 people were injured. Among them, there were more than 2,000 soldiers who were seriously injured, disabled, and lost combat effectiveness. In other words, in the end  There were less than 10,000 people alive and able to continue fighting here. Two-thirds of these casualties came from losses caused by Hojo Ujishige's surprise attack from the rear, but nearly 70% of the wounded came from the frontal battlefield.  The Ueno Japanese army was even more miserable, with 5,000 killed and 7,000 injured. Almost all of them suffered injuries. The main reason was that the main force was dispersed by a surprise attack by the Hojo army, and then the camp gate was blocked. Many Japanese took the opportunity to disappear.  They were still killed after escaping. Only a thousand people were left in the main force of the Nagano army, and the entire Minawa clan only had more than 3,000 people. Most of them were rescued by the Nagao family.  Judging from the situation on the battlefield, it is basically no problem that the Hojo army suffered losses of more than 8,000 people. One of Hojo Ujishige's Rangers alone suffered more than 2,000 losses, which allowed him to experience the pain of having a knife stabbed in the back. In addition,  More than 5,000 people were captured. In order to redeem the prisoners, they not only had to cede land but also had to pay compensation. This war was really a loss of money.  Nagano Yasumasa and his relatives and subordinates were released, and his prestige was completely shattered with the capture. Only a few of his sons-in-law were left in the so-called Minawa clan to support him, such as Numata Youtai, who was not very close to him.  The son-in-law became more and more eccentric, and Ueno Shichimoto simply expressed his submission to Nagao Kagetora. Nagano Yasumasa knew where he was wrong, but what could he do if he knew?  He had no chance to save it.  After this battle, Nagao Kagetora's prestige greatly increased. Nagao Kenkei of the Shirai Nagao family, Nagao Sokage of the Suisha Nagao family, and Nagao Kagetora, the chief of the Ashikaga Nagao family, successively expressed their submission to him.  Receiving Nagao Kagetora's favor is equivalent to telling the world that he is a member of the Nagao family, so he also expresses his obedience.  Finally, there are the Nishi Ueno people. The surrender of the Ueno Seven Guns completely shattered the close unity of the Nishi Ueno people. Nagano Yamasa's prestige was greatly lost. The Minawa people must always remember Nagao Kagetora's life-saving grace. If the Nagao family  If they are unwilling to exchange, the fate of these three thousand people will definitely be miserable, because Nagao Kagetora has no obligation to come to them. In comparison, Hojo Ushishige is more important to the Hojo family. A comparison between the two will know how much they owe Nagao Kagetora.  mutual affection.  There is a little traitor in the Nagano family, Nagano Yasuo, and among the son-in-law, there is Obata Nobuzada, who is lobbying up and down. Before Nagano Yamasa makes a decision, his family and his sons-in-law have already made their own choices. Finally, Nagano Yasumasa  When he discovered that even his son Nagano Yashimai had made it clear that he would join the Nagao family, he knew that he had only this option.  A few days later, a grand celebration banquet was held in Hirai Castle of Ueno Province. This banquet was nominally a replacement celebration banquet, but in fact it was to force the people of Ueno Province to make a final decision. Nagano Ye was standing in the large room of Hirai Castle with a calm expression.Nothing was wrong, and soon his face turned rosy, and he gave an impassioned speech with his sonorous voice: "Today, the world belongs to Kawachi Genji, and the shogunate belongs to the Ashikaga shogunate, so I, Yemasa, have decided to surrender.  Under the banner of the Kira Jinfu Palace! Being a retainer of the Ashikaga family is our natural duty, and joining the Jinfu Palace is the most correct choice. What do you think?" "" The people of Ueno turned their attention to the silent Naga.  Okatora.  All the ministers thought that he would be very unhappy, but unexpectedly, Echigo no Ryuu, who was sitting in the high seat, suddenly applauded, with a faint smile on his expressionless face: "What Shinano said is exactly what I want.  In the near future, I will urge the Zhenfu Palace to apply to the shogunate for the position of Ueno Guardian You all must remember the duty of our martial family!
