    Takeda Nobushige looked up at the red banner of Takeda Shikori Ryoshi. With the strong wind blowing from the Wife and Daughter Mountain, the hunting sound was like a red fire cloud floating in the sky. Another attack by the Takeda army was repulsed.  As the sound of the roar of the iron cannon gradually disappeared, and the fierce attack for a day still achieved nothing, Takeda Nobushige decisively ordered the troops to be restrained and slowly retreated backwards.  The sky is getting dark, and there are still a few flames burning tenaciously under the city. A burned battering ram is parked in front of the Oshou Gate, with dozens of burnt remains scattered around. The pungent smell of tung oil burning has not yet disappeared.  Dissipated, the billowing smoke rising from the pit appeared in the city.  No one expected that the Jin Diggers would miss unexpectedly. As soon as they dug a secret tunnel, they were forcibly blocked by the defenders in the city with tung oil poisonous smoke. The lives of seventy or eighty Jin Diggers were left in the tunnel.  The people of the country hurriedly demolished their houses and asked the citizens in the city to use stones to re-block the tunnel leading into the city from the sinkhole. Seeing that the tunnel that had been dug out for more than half a month was abandoned.  On the top of the city, Murakami Yoshikiyo is always on the front line. He must adopt a positive attitude, not only to show off to the defenders in the city, but also to encourage himself. The task assigned to him by Kira Yoshiki was to defend the city.  This city is the last chance given to him by the Kira family. If Kaijin City is destroyed, the Murakami family will also be destroyed.  Murakami Yoshikiyo knew that he did not take the initiative to join the Kira family, and it would be difficult for him to get the special care of Shinano Guardian. From then on, guarding Kaijin Castle was a difficult task. If he guarded this small town, the restoration of the Murakami family's old territory of Kuzuo Castle would be just around the corner.  He won't be punished if he can't defend Kaijin Castle, but he won't be able to get back the old territory of Kuzuo Castle.  The Kira family does not raise idlers.  Outside Haijin City.  Takeda Nobushige looked deeply at the Marukami flag flying on the top of the city and immediately retreated.  The last ray of afterglow on the horizon also dissipated. Murakami Yoshiki took a deep breath, cheered up and shouted: "Send the wounded soldiers to medical treatment quickly, the civilians go out to clean the battlefield and repair the Otemon gate, and the most important thing is,  Make a pot of rice so that the soldiers can have a full meal, they are almost hungry!" The exhausted warriors were amused by the captain's humorous tone, and the depressing and dull atmosphere was swept away in just a moment.  The people of Shinano relaxed and chatted in low voices. After a while, they started talking about who killed more people today and which whale house's wandering girls were more interesting. They huddled in a group and muttered, and occasionally burst into strange laughter.  .  When he returned to the castle tower, several young men hurriedly took off the heavy armor for him. Murakami Yoshikiyo took a bowl of warm tea and poured it into his stomach in one breath. Several Yubi came in and waited for instructions.  "The Takeda army's attacks are becoming more and more fierce. They will not retreat until dark in the past few days. The city defense still needs to be repaired urgently. Everyone should keep their eyes open. Our success depends on whether we can defend this city  In addition, if you tell me to go down, I, Yiqing, have made up my mind that everyone will die in the city. Anyone who dares not to try his best will be blamed for the ruthless military law!" You Bi responded in a low voice and quickly wrote it down, and it took only a moment to listen.  He arranged seven or eight things marked "urgent", from city defense and military affairs to people's affairs and civil affairs. Even small things such as water sources, food, and medical care must be clearly arranged. No matter how small things are at this moment, they must be handled carefully and properly.  After talking for a while and drinking a cup of tea, I heard the "thump thump thump" footsteps outside the house getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, an unfamiliar samurai broke in. This man's name was Murakami Higo Mamoru, and he was a concubine of the Murakami family.  As Murakami Yoshikiyo's confidant samurai who was in charge of intelligence rarely showed up, he raised his eyes and saw that there were several other people with minor surnames in the room and hurriedly bowed down. Murakami Yoshikiyo waved his hands and sent them all away before asking:  "Why are you so worried about something important?" "My lord, the news from Asahiyama Castle is that the Long Tail Bullet is winning a big victory in Ueno Country. They killed the main force of the Hojo Army in a fierce fight and claimed more than 8,000 lives of the Hojo Army.  "We won!" "What! What did you say!" Murakami Yoshiki stood up and lifted him up excitedly, "Tell me exactly what happened."  "Tell me slowly." Murakami Higomori did not panic, and patiently told the news about how the Nagao Army defeated the main force of the Hojo Army in a high-mountain battle. After hearing this, Murakami Yoshikiyo sighed: "An attack against an attack."  What a great example of our samurai! Long tail bomb is still so powerful Wait! Did you say that the news came from Asahiyama Castle? Hey, I asked!  What nonsense. The Zhenfu Palace must know that the impact of the defeat of the Hojo Army is not trivial. It seems that the Zhenfu Palace will take action! But I don¡¯t know how the Zhenfu Palace will act. " Murakami Yoshikiyo expected it well.  After Kira Yoshitoki received the information about Ueno's defeat of Hojo Ujiyasu, he immediately started to turn this information into a deadly weapon. With Kira's outstanding ninja abilities, he quickly spread this information to every city in Shinano.  In the villages, Mount Chausu, Hachimangahara and even Fukashi Castle in the rear, there are rumors that the Hojo army was defeated, Ashikaga Fujimasa and Hojo Ujishige were captured, and Hojo?Forced to give up all of Ueno in exchange for news of ransoming prisoners.  The Takeda Army on Chasu Mountain suddenly stopped laughing. Takeda Harunobu's face was as listless as an eggplant beaten by frost. In the end, Shinano, who might have had problems, was not killed by the Kira Army all the way, but Ueno, who was least likely to have problems.  He actually lost all the way, and Hojo Ujiyasu was beaten so hard that he couldn't fight back. Do you dare to believe this?  If someone had told Takeda Harunobu this yesterday, he would have laughed and regarded this person as a lunatic.  The news that the Hojo Army was defeated and almost lost its pants spread like wildfire in the Chasu Mountain camp. The Takeda retainers quickly jumped out to refute the rumors and stated that there was no such thing. The samurai were skeptical of the elders' refutations, and everyone was not such a fool.  As long as you are willing to inquire about big news, you will know the truth sooner or later. The elders will quickly come to a conclusion whether what they say is true or false.  One wave after another, the aftermath of the Hojo family's defeat has not yet dissipated, and another rumor has stirred up the morale of the army. After the Nagao Army won a great victory in Ueno Country, the goal of reorganizing the army turned to Nobu.  General Nagao Kagetora of Saku County in No Province will personally lead an army of 15,000 troops into Shinano Saku County via Ueno Azuma County in half a month.  The Chinese people in Saku County were first panicked. Nishi Ueno is just a mountain ridge away from Saku County, which is not much more difficult than going over the mountains from Northern Shinano to Chushinano. Many Chinese people in the two places are related by marriage.  Therefore, Saku County, as the bridgehead for the Takeda Army's attack on Ueno, directly participated in all operations to attack Nishi Ueno.  Therefore, every move of Nishi Ueno will have a profound impact on the people of Saku County.  The people of Saku County don¡¯t know whether the rumors are true or false.  He hurriedly sent people to Ueno to inquire about the news. As a result, he found out that it was not a rumor. Nagao Kagetora's 10,000 troops guarded Hirai Castle for a full half month to recover. Hirai Castle had just held a big tea party to celebrate Echigo's victory over the Echigo Alliance.  It cannot be faked.  The intelligence was fed back to Shinano and quickly back to the main battlefield of Kawanaka Island. This time, not only the people of Shinano could not calm down, but the samurai of the Takeda family could not sit still. They collectively approached Takeda Harunobu and hoped that the family governor would give an explanation.  Whether the Hojo family was defeated or not, and why the elders of the Shodai family said it was a rumor, Takeda Harunobu was speechless when asked. For a while, the crowd was full of emotions and voices scolding and deceiving one after another.  Seeing that the situation was not right, the clan members of the clan quickly stood up to take the blame and managed to stabilize the out-of-control situation. However, the morale of the army was already unavoidable. Atobe Nobuaki complained with a sad face: "I said it was not good to do this at the beginning.  If you can't hold it back for a while, it will leak out sooner or later." Fanfu Huchang was angry, and he was the one who made this suggestion.  It was okay to disgrace him in front of all the officials, but how could he bring his younger brother to hang out with the Takeda family in the future.  Unable to bear it, Iito Homasa loudly rebuked: "Iga Mori, don't say those useless words. We will lose if we don't cover it up. Tell the samurai that our ally, the Hojo Army, has been defeated. There is an army behind us that can defeat the Hojo Army."  What will happen if the powerful army is sharpening their swords and staring at us? If we follow this statement, all the Shinano people will be gone in less than three days. How can we fight in a joint battle? How can we hold on to the regained land? That's why I insisted at the beginning!  Let¡¯s frighten them first. We only need to hear about the temporary danger, and we will talk about the future later.¡± Seeing his allies being attacked by name, Nagasaka Mitsuken retorted unhappily: ¡°It¡¯s still very inappropriate to do this!¡±  People are cities, people are walls, people are friends, and hatred is an enemy. What can we do to win the trust of others in the future? "Hmph!" "You are reckless!"  After a few words, they broke into a quarrel, which made Takeda Harunobu dizzy. It was a good thing that the retainers could never maintain a unified voice, but it would be too bad to turn against each other and become enemies. If it weren't for the samurai on both sides who were still dedicated to the public good.  With their own thoughts, just playing tricks on each other can disturb the Takeda family forever.  In his boyhood, Takeda Harunobu was served as assistants by Ogiwara Masakatsu, Komai Masatake, Itagaki Nobukata, and Amari Torayasu. He witnessed with his own eyes how Takeda Nobutora acted arbitrarily and forced the retainers to form a group to fight against the family governor. His  The four teachers often criticized his father's reckless decisions, thus shaping his rebellious temperament, and even joined forces to exile his father who was unwilling to compromise.  After becoming the governor, Takeda Harunobu's character changed a lot. The embarrassing situation of being the governor of the house in the past returned to him. Of the four teachers, Ogiwara Masakatsu died young, Komai Masaru was good at strategy and deep-minded, Itagaki Nobukata, Amari  One is domineering, the other is reckless. He often interferes in government affairs decisions in the name of his teacher. He even disrespects orders many times and suffers several unforeseen failures. He still did not repent until Tahara died.  Several teachers died of old age, leaving Takeda Harunobu to take care of the remnants of their family. For example, the equally arrogant and domineering Itagaki Nobunori was executed by him at the wrong time. As he got older, his methods became more and more powerful.  retainer group??It is also in line with his original intention to dismantle them and make them hostile to each other.  It's just that this happy thing has now turned into an unpleasant bad thing. This group of retainers usually quarrels, forget it, but now the situation is so bad and they keep quarreling. They hold back their breath and can't help but yell: "Shut up!"  ! Look at what you look like. The retainers are the face of my Takeda family. How do you behave like the shrews in the town?" The retainers were so frightened that they didn't dare to argue anymore. Takeda Harunobu was so worried.  After letting out his anger, he slowly said: "Everyone understands the current situation. The Long-tail Army is lurking in Nishi Ueno and can give us a fatal blow at any time. If our army is entangled by the Kira Army on the front battlefield, the Long-tail Army will  They will definitely leave Saku County and sweep all the way north to Kawanaka Island to attack our army from both front and rear. You guys should know what the consequences will be. This war is unwinnable. " "My lord said it is true. It seems that I am right.  If you can't wait any longer! Then let's negotiate peace!" Takeda Noburen is his brother and is not as tabooed as Takeda Nobutora. He was still a child when Takeda Harunobu exiled Takeda Nobutora.  He has gained special trust from Takeda Harunobu since he was a child, and he speaks more casually.  Others dare not say what he dares to say.  He wasn't afraid of Takeda Harunobu blowing his beard and glaring at him.  In his opinion, there is no point in continuing this war. Ten months ago, Nagao Kagetora fought a battle on the border of Ueno and defeated the powerful Sagami Lion in Kanto. The Kanto samurai were shocked by such power.  Fear, even the Takeda army deep in Shinano is afraid of it.  "This battle cannot be fought. Echigo has the ability to overturn the dead end we have worked so hard to design. If such a turbulent method is used against us, who of the Gongun gentlemen in the tent today can be alone?"  Spared? All we want is to expand the territory and revive the family business. If we can't get it, we might as well stop. It's just the land of the four counties on Kawanaka Island, so what can we do if we don't get it anyway?  "As soon as Takeda Xinren opened his mouth, many members of the clan in the tent shut their mouths.  The reason for going to war is to make achievements. To put it more clearly, it is money, population and food. In the final analysis, it still comes down to the word land. Japan¡¯s land is small and its resources are limited. Not to mention the famous fertile land in the world, even in the remote mountains and hills.  The samurai fought for a little bit of land.  Since you can¡¯t beat him, why bother to resist? It¡¯s not easy for two generations of the Takeda family to accumulate this little wealth.  Instead of fighting the monster behind Echichi, it would be better to manage Hida's new territory. After all, Hida still has access to Echichu to the north.  It is reasonable for him to think so about the opportunity to go south to Meinong.  It¡¯s not that the Takeda retainers don¡¯t understand this truth. The problem is who dares to say this except Takeda Nobuyoshi. The twenty-year-old Takeda Yoshinobu is still a child in front of these uncles and teachers and has no right to speak. Takeda Nobushige is far away.  Outside Kaijin City, Takeda Harunobu's concubine brothers couldn't even get a word in. There were a few old men in the clan who couldn't do anything but show off their seniority. The clan members who were foreign ministers didn't even dare to talk.  As long as he can tell.  "And Ezhong's consistent perseverance may bring about miracles." Masaru Komai said something that even he himself did not believe. A natural danger that he didn't know about his children has blocked many heroes.  It can swallow up the Echichu nation, which basically has nothing to do with the overall situation. The role of Echichu and Hao in the anti-Echigo alliance is only to disperse and delay the forces. The main forces are Shinano's Takeda and Ueno's Hojo.  Hojo was destroyed all the way and was so completely destroyed that there was no chance of turning around in the short term. The collapse of a corner of the Hojo family led to the collapse of the entire Ueno, and the eastern part of Shinano was also very unsafe. All the main forces of the Takeda family were betting on Kawanakajima.  Once there is a change in the rear, what will they do to rescue them? The Kira navy burned several castles and disturbed the peace in the rear. What would happen if Nagao Kagetora led an army of 15,000 or even 20,000 into Shinano?  Sample?  "We can't expect Nagao to make mistakes at a critical moment. With his military strategy, he will never make a fatal mistake at this time. Once the Nagao army sends troops to attack Saku County, it will be terrible. Nagao Kagetora leads the army to attack Kawanakajima.  A better option. The other option is to lead the army from Saku County over the Shinshu Pass, all the way to Kaifuchu Uzakikan, seize the Takeda family's foundation in one fell swoop, and then detain our family members and elders. How should we deal with this?  ? What should we do in response? " As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the leaders of other countries such as Kiso Yoshiyasu and Ema Tokimori changed, and even the members of the Takeda family were a little uneasy.  , the hundred and ten people in the tent all looked at Takeda Harunobu. The face of Kai no Tiger kept changing. After a long time, he sighed: "For now we have to negotiate peace! You, Sun Liu, will be the envoy.  I grant you the right to act on your own terms and go to Asahiyama Castle to discuss all matters concerning the peace!" Takeda Nobuyan responded enthusiastically: "Yes! I, Xinlian, will go through fire and water for my lord, and I will live up to your lord's trust this time!"bsp; In the Hirai Castle of Ueno Province, Nagao Kagetora got the latest information about Shinano, and he was planning to send troops to Saku County to support the Kira Legion. The Takeda retainers¡¯ regiment expected it correctly, and the Dragon of Echigo did have the intention to capture Shinano.  , the ten thousand elites under his command were very successful in the high mountain battle, eating meat and drinking soup. Now they are full of energy and watch Saku County sharpening their swords.  One of the two biggest troubles in Ueno Country, the Minawa clan in Nishi Ueno fell apart in a round of internal strife. Whether it was Ueshu Huangma Nagano Yamasa, or he changed his name to Kamiizumi Hidetsuna after taking the Miao character from his home city Kamiizumi Castle.  As well as the other six brothers in their Ueno Seven Guns, they all expressed their willingness to join the Kira family.  My lord was unable to get out of the quagmire Shinano was sinking into in Kawanakajima.  It would be a failure for these new retainers not to quickly come forward and take a positive stance.  Nagao Kagetora deliberately forced the samurai to make the choice to surrender to Kiragi, which was also a helpless decision.  Today's Echigo family has a great cause and is getting bigger and stronger. The disadvantages of the dual-headed politics that were not obvious in the early stage are gradually exposed. The two top leaders are always freaks with congenital abnormalities. The Echigo political system cannot always be a monster.  fetal.  Echigo is the Echigo of the Nagao family, and will soon become the Echigo of the Kira family. No matter how unwilling the Echigo people are, they cannot refuse this change. Nagao Kagetora is a fanatical Buddhist and a former severe alcoholic.  A strict ascetic who swore a solemn vow not to marry a woman or have children in this life, and to dedicate his body and mind to his family business, gods and Buddhas.  If Kiragi hadn't been there and a samurai from Echigo had been replaced to marry Nagao Kagetora, Nagao Kagetora would have adopted his sister's son as an adopted son at most, or as in history, he would have adopted a few more sons, including the sons from his sister's family.  Come here and adopt a few adopted sons from powerful daimyo from other territories to consolidate your political territory.  But the Kira family is different. The Ashikaga family is the royal family of the shogunate. His prestige and influence are obvious to all and cannot be ignored. According to the name designated by the Ming Empire, it is authentic for the Ashikaga family to hold the gold seal of the Japanese king.  Royalty.  At the very least, the Ashikaga family was a prince's family, and even the former Kira family had to be a grand duke.  There are too many ruined nobles and they are not worth much.  For example, in history, monkeys and turtles liked to raise canaries from noble families to show off their military power, and use facts to tell others that noble families were nothing, as long as they smashed the old order with a big fist, but in their bones  I still envy and admire these run-down nobles who look down on them.  Those people in the world are like this, especially Nagao Kagetora, who extremely worships the authority and status of the shogunate. Having a famous brother-in-law is tantamount to raising his family status and status, so he took Uesugi Kenmasa Baba to Echichi and sent him to Kanto  As for the leader's hat, if it were other martial arts names, even if they didn't dare to accept it, they would still be polite.  There was no need for Kira Yoshitsune. When Kenmasa Uesugi saw him, he had to salute and call himself a subordinate, because the Ashikaga family of Uesugi exercised part of the power of the shogunate on behalf of the shogunate, and the signed letter was equivalent to the imperial letter written by the shogun himself, even if it was Echigo in another time and space.  The dragon also has this power, but the effect will vary greatly depending on the person who uses it.  Echigo Kingdom is also located in the Eastern Kingdom, and is relatively more conservative than the samurai ideology of Kinai. Nagao Kagetora's ambition is only to become a new generation of famous samurai family. It is basically impossible to say what he can do.  There is only one big devil in this world, and he is the only one who does not want to lead the world but wants to destroy all the old order.  Nagao Kagetora is quite aware of Kira Yoshitoki's ambitions. Maybe the Ashikaga family can go higher. Maybe the whole Kanto is under the control of the shogunate again. Maybe there are more things waiting for Kira Yoshitoki to create. In short, Nagao Kagetora  There are many things that Kira Yoshitoki cannot do, but Kira Yoshitoki can do them openly. He cannot suppress the arrogant and domineering people of Echigo, but Kira Yoshitoki can. He cannot order the Ueno people, but Kira Yoshitoki can.  Seeing that he had been staring at the white clouds in the sky, Saito Asanobu, who had been sitting in a daze for a while, came back to his senses, coughed and reminded: "My lord, how long do I have to rest before I can go out into battle? Speaking of which,  I, Chao Xin, can't hold back any longer!" Nagao Kagetora frowned and said, "We may not be able to go. We just fought with the Hojo Army and we have to take a good rest, and we may not be able to go to Shinano, War Horse.  After a whole day of fighting, the lost fat can only be replenished in a dozen days, not to mention that soon after the autumn harvest, the Sanguo Pass will be snowed and the mountains will be closed. We, a man of ten thousand men, are still waiting to go home for the New Year.  , You can¡¯t just celebrate New Year¡¯s Day in the mountains of Shinano.¡± ¡°Then just stay in Hirai Castle and watch the Zhenfu Palace motionless?¡± Saito rolled his eyes at Nobu and smiled: ¡°Or let me do that.  Chaoxin takes three thousand elites to Saku County to have a try!"
