    "I hate it! Of course I hate it!" After crying bitterly, he felt much better. Sanada Yukitaka sighed and said with resentment: "When I am successful and famous, I don't have a high official to support me. I hate it! It's hard for me to have a home, and I hate it even more!"  It is precisely because of this that we have to work harder! In order to regain the hope of the Shiye clan! I will not forget Guan Lingdian¡¯s help. I will always remember it!  ! Just remember!" The old man was a little out of breath after a long rest, "But it's different now! Suwa Yorishige was killed by Takeda Harunobu, and Murakami Yoshikiyo was cornered by Takeda Harunobu.  Fleeing to Echigo, and now Lord Jinfu has defeated Takeda Harunobu, all our enemies have failed, the situation has turned, and now it is my turn to revive the Umino clan again. This is a good opportunity to rebuild our Umino clan, Jiro  Why is Saburo still clinging to a dead city? " Sanada Yukitaka frowned tightly, but he didn't expect that his grandfather still had such a sharp mind at such an old age. His question really hit his mark. He couldn't.  He was worried that saying he was loyal to the Takeda family in front of his grandfather and adoptive father would make the old man angry to death. Yukitaka Sanada knew very well what a strong man his grandfather was, and he was firmly opposed to his joining Takeda Harunobu at the beginning.  Kinship is a threat, and if you really say something unpleasant, the consequences will be disastrous.  After all, Umino Totsuna is an experienced family governor. He has seen many talented people during his more than seventy years of ups and downs. It is very clear that his eldest grandson is thinking about some reasons that he does not want to hear. The old man sighed and said: "  I know that two of your children died on Hachimangahara. Not only did the two children of the Mochizuki family and the Nezumi Masanao of the Nezatsu family also entered the family, but the noble head of the Shino family also made raw silk.  The enemy's loyal ministers still died for them. I wonder how their fathers would feel if Izumi knew "Jiro Saburo! I know you are a good boy, and I also know that you have done a lot in the past ten years in Shinano."  As for the matter, if Echigo had not given birth to a mayor, I would have acquiesced in your surrender to the Takeda family. Although Takeda Harunobu is not a benevolent master, he would not dare to touch your foundation at will. As long as I am here in Ueno, he will save it.  Be very careful. Even if I am gone one day, he will use your identity to attack Nishi Ueno! But it is different now. The appearance of the town master has resolved the dispute between us. Look at Murakami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara!  Nagatoki, Takanashi Masayori and others were not heroes of the generation who dominated Shinano, but they converted to worship under the banner of Lord Jinfu. Do you know that Lord Jinfu does not represent the master of a country, but conquers Kanto on behalf of the Ashikaga Shogun family?  If you are not blind, you can see that this Zhenfu Lord is the first-class hero in the world, and his future achievements are limitless!  Foundation. Are you going to be the sinner who severs the lineage?" "" Sanada Yukitaka's expression changed, knowing that his grandfather still had great expectations for him in his words.  The old man's experience was very rough. He lost his father in his early years, his spouse in his middle age, and his son in his later years. He even suffered the pain of having his family property taken away and a clan member being killed. The pressure in his heart was far greater than if he had only lost two sons.  Umino Totsuna's expectations now are only his own, and he is the only samurai who can inherit the Shino clan and lead the clan. This expectation far exceeds the expectations of his grandfather for his grandson, and exceeds the expectations of his adoptive father for his adopted son. He  It represents the expectations of thousands of struggling clansmen in Shinano and Ueno. Losing this leader will also lose the last hope of the Shino clan. They can only drift along with the chaotic world, hoping to survive in this chaos.  Go down.  The knot that had been simmering for many years was gradually solved with the earnest teachings of his grandfather Umino Totsuna. It can be said that his military strategy and wisdom were learned bit by bit from his grandfather. Yukitaka Sanada truly respects and awes his grandfather.  This strong old man has not been defeated by failure. He is still actively working for the revival of the Shino clan even though he is over seventy years old. He is many times more noble than the feeble Mochizuki clan and Nezu clan.  But Yukitaka Sanada is still a little unwilling. He is not unwilling to cherish Tadake's feathers. After fighting to this point, he feels that he is worthy of Takeda Harunobu's kindness. However, he is still worried about the murder of his two legitimate sons.  There were five sons in total, the two oldest ones died on the battlefield, and the remaining three younger ones were still imprisoned in the Kaiji Uzaki Hall. If he surrendered here and the other three children were killed by the Takeda family,  Isn¡¯t it true that the Sanada clan is going to die out?  He is already forty-six years old. It is very difficult for him to conceive children with his old wife at his age. The only way is to have a few more concubines to continue the clan. This back and forth has consumed all his years of effort.  When he was empty, he really couldn't imagine that he was still trying to cultivate the heir of the family governor when he was sixty years old. What if he couldn't give birth to a son?  The son born is unworthy, not as good as a few dead ones.What should I do with my brother?  Moreover, he was also very worried about Kira Yoshiki's attitude. He was afraid that he would be looked down upon by others, and he still had a little knot in his heart.  It could be seen that Yukitaka Sanada was still hesitating. Umino Totsuna thought for a moment and suddenly thought of an important piece of news. He covered his forehead and said with a bitter smile: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten such important news. The older I get, the more useless it becomes."  Alright I have an important piece of news here. Your main wife, Kyouunin, and your two boys, Gengoro, Genjiro, and Genzaburo, are waiting for you in Isesaki Castle at the foot of the mountain. These three little kids are the town¡¯s  The prince issued a special order to rescue the ninja army from Kai. Also rescued was the legitimate son of the Shinano people, and Sanjuro of the Gennosuke family was also rescued. Do you have any other concerns? " Yukitaka Sanada?  However, when he got up, he said without hesitation: "Seriously!" Umino Totsuna glared at him, his snow-white beard raised angrily: "Could it be that Jiro Saburo suspected that I had deceived you and deceived you into the city, detained you and forced you to do so?"  I can't do anything about your surrender. I have never lied in my life. I taught you military strategy but I never taught you how to deceive the martial arts family. You have harmed so many martial arts families in the past few years. This is not the method I taught you. Mo  I thought I was also the kind of person Takeda Harunobu was!" "Yukitaka made a mistake. Don't be angry!" Sanada Yukitaka paced back and forth in the castle tower, suppressing his excitement.  Pacing is one of his habits. Once he gets excited, he will walk around. This day, the Sanada retainers group and Umino Totsuna are very aware of this.  After thinking for a while, he suddenly stopped. Sanada Yukitaka turned around and said seriously: "I just don't know what kind of treatment the mayor is willing to give me. It's not that Yukitaka is greedy. We have worked hard for more than ten years to protect the two counties of Xiaozhen and Saku."  Foundation, as long as the Lord of the Town is willing to provide us with the security of the Shino clan, I am willing to serve as a front-line soldier of the Ashikaga family!" "Haha I am here for this purpose. I have issued a special letter for this purpose.  The two copies are here! Let Gennosuke read them over!" Umino Totsuna took out two documents with a smile and handed one to Yazawa Yoritsuna who was standing aside.  Taking the document with both hands respectfully and opening it carefully, Yazawa Yoritsuna tried his best to calm down his excitement, took a deep breath and said slowly: "Send a letter to the official monogram of the town, the territory of Saku County and Xiaozhen County, and the Shino clan is the local one."  For those who are superior, there should be no contradictory conditions, but they should be ruled out first, and all can be done with knowledge and action. Mi can be taken out of Zhongjie, and it will still be the same. On May 10th of the first year of Yonglu, Umino Shinano.  "Bring me a pen, I want to sign the monogram!" Sanada Yukitaka sat upright and quickly signed two monograms, and then solemnly announced: "Your Majesty, the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman, I, the Sanada clan, will devote myself to the Ashikaga family forever.  Allegiance! If you violate your oath, the gods and Buddhas will despise you! " Sanada Yukitaka's surrender marked the complete elimination of Shinano's last hidden danger. Those lucky people in the Shinano country also gave up their resistance when they saw Yukitaka Sanada joining the Kira family. For a time, Saku County,  The Xiaozhen County Revolution's political orders were clear, which saved Murakami Yoshikiyo and Miyabe Jijun a lot of trouble.  What¡¯s even more interesting is that the people of Chushinano were frightened when they heard that Yukitaka Sanada had surrendered. Many people gave up their determination to resist and defected to the Kira family. Half of Chikuma County turned against them, and the sporadic rebellion in Azum County suddenly disappeared. Ogasawara  For a long time, the military strength rolled like a snowball from three thousand to six thousand, and then further to eight thousand, and they rushed to Shenzhi City with an unstoppable momentum.  Kaiji and Uzakikan were shocked three times in one day. Takeda Shingen had no choice but to order Sone Masashi to lead 3,000 troops to urgently reinforce Fukashi Castle. At least, the Ogasawara army, which was in full strength, was forced back.  A confrontation started between Shenzhi City.  Yukitaka Sanada's service made Yoshitoki Kira overjoyed, and he specially invited his family to Kasugayama Castle for an audience. Yoshitoki was very happy to receive them, and greatly praised Yukitaka Sanada's strategy as having the power of ghosts and gods. He also praised him as the number one samurai in Shinano.  His three sons, Zhong Lingyuxiu, expressed regret for the loss of his two outstanding sons.  Hearing that his new master didn't mean anything disdainful to him, Yukitaka Sanada could finally relax and serve his father with peace of mind. He proposed to leave his heir in Kasugayama Castle for training. Kira Yoshi thought about it and agreed readily, telling him  Don't be burdened, his three sons will bear his surname and receive the best training, and in the future they will become direct samurai of the Ashikaga clan.  Later, it was announced that Yukitaka Sanada was promoted to the head of Higashi-Shinano, and he was listed on the Ashikaga family tree as the elder of the family. His status was even higher than Watanabe Takatsuna and Naito Masashige, and he was ordered to go to Shinano to serve as the general in the battle against Shinano, assisting Ogasawara Nagatsuki to capture it as soon as possible  Throughout Shinano, Murakami Yoshikiyo and Miyabe Tsugujun will provide corresponding cooperation.  No matter how optimistic Yukitaka Sanada was, he never expected that he would be greatly promoted and reused by the new owner. In excitement, he led a family of five to make a permanent announcement on the spot.He betrayed his oath of betrayal, and then happily rushed to Xiaozhen County with military orders. He had to summon three thousand troops to attack Shinano within a month. Fortunately, he had a strong foundation in Shinano's avant-garde, including Murakami Yoshikiyo,  The people of the country who could not be moved by Miyabe Tsurujun all obeyed his command. In the blink of an eye, three thousand soldiers and horses gathered together, and Yukitaka Sanada became an important general in Shinano.  In early June, Murakami Yoshikiyo led an army of 6,000 people to cross the Hofukuji Pass and raid Kirihara Castle. The defenders in the city were taken prisoner without any response. Sanada Yukitaka also took the opportunity to cross the Takeishi Pass and seize Niihara Castle. Then the two armies joined forces to capture Ogasawara.  Lincheng, the former fortress of the Jinhua clan, overlooks Shenzhi Castle at the foot of the mountain directly from Jinhua Mountain.  At Inugama Castle, less than a mile northwest of Fukashi Castle, the Ogasawara family guarded eight thousand troops and stared at them. Hirain Castle, Kirihara Castle, and Naihara Castle in the southeast of Fukashi Castle were defeated by Sanada Yukitaka and Murakami Yoshikiyo with a total of nine thousand troops.  After occupying the city, the people in Chikuma County changed their flags to join the Kira family one after another. This was not the first time that the king's flag was changed at the top of the city.  The people of Shinano Province, who were familiar with the situation, decisively sold their former masters.  The weather is not there, the geographical advantage has been lost, and the people and people are falling apart.  Nobuharu Baba and Masayo Sone, who were guarding Fukashi Castle, could not save themselves even with their heads and six arms.  After a short discussion, they decided to retreat to Suwa County and defend again. Both of them were action men. In the morning, they received news of the fall of three mountain castles. In the afternoon, they heard that the Japanese in Chikuma County were rebelling. In the evening, they led 6,000 troops and disappeared.  They retreated back to Suwa County, so that Ogasawara didn't react for a long time. Even when he had time to chase after him, he ate ashes for a long time and still couldn't catch anyone.  Fortunately, after the Takeda Army withdrew, all the remaining Chikuma people gave up resistance.  Ogasawara chased him all the way to Kumagai Castle in front of Shiojiri Pass before stopping. Shiojiri Pass was of great significance to him. It was here ten years ago that he led an army of five thousand and was caught off guard by Takeda Harunobu.  The Takeda army, who had captured more than a thousand men and was being pursued, burned Lin City to the ground. This battle was the Battle of Shiojiri Pass that brought him endless humiliation.  Ten years later, when he once again led his army to Shiojiri Pass, Takeda Shingen only dared to hide in the Tsugasaki Hall and did not dare to come out. He could be sure that he had really found the right master, and he had not been so proud in many years.  At any rate, it was worthwhile for me to grovel and see the trembling expressions of my retainers and old friends from ten years ago.  The bad energy that had accumulated in my chest for ten years was dissipated.  Ogasawara led his army to show off his power in Chikuma County for a long time, telling his old ministers that he had found a big backer this time. This was a serious return to his hometown, and the people of Shinano were as afraid of the power of the Takeda army ten years ago.  Just like the army surrendered without a fight, this time it was intimidated by the force of the Kira Legion and surrendered. I wonder if Takeda Harunobu would be so angry that he couldn't sleep if he knew the news.  In Minzhi Castle, Sanada Yukitaka and Murakami Yoshikiyo walked side by side. The samurai on both sides were either at war with each other or looking at each other coldly. The deep-seated hatred was far from dissipating as easily as imagined. Murakami Yoshikiyo naturally knew all this and smiled bitterly.  Sanada Yukitaka said: "Do you still remember the hatred of the past in the main hall?" Sanada Yukitaka twitched his eyebrows and responded seriously: "Of course, I believe that Nojiro's grudges must be avenged. My uncle Umino Yukiyoshi died in the Battle of Kamikawa.  Yukitaka Sanada never forgets, and the memory of my Umino clan leaving home is something I can¡¯t forget.¡± Since he was freed from the shackles of the Takeda family, he no longer cares about military achievements, knowledge, conduct, and promotion of titles, and no longer thinks about keeping his power and not falling. Only then can Yukitaka Sanada really do it for himself!  Living for the Shino clan, when seeing Murakami Yoshikiyo again, there will always be a heated scene of tit-for-tat. Murakami Yoshikiyo was the most active participant in the battle of Uminohira and the most ruthless person in killing the Shino clan.  Murakami Yoshikiyo disapproved of his attitude, shook his head and said with a smile: "Didn't I suffer from you too? You robbed Toishi Castle, you attacked Kuzuo Castle, and my clan was beaten to pieces.  We should be even if we don¡¯t go far away to avoid disaster.¡± Sanada Yukitaka hesitated and said, ¡°My two sons, Genta and Tokujiro, died in the Battle of Kawanakajima last year¡­¡± ¡°  It turns out that my son is deadcan you be more miserable than me?" Murakami Yoshikiyo's face showed sadness. General Shinano is now nearly sixty years old, and his gray hair and tired expression look particularly tired.  He sighed and said: "I have five sons in total. Gentaro Yoshikatsu died in the Uedahara battle, Genjiro Yoshitoshi died in the Takeda invasion, Gensaburo Yoshiteru and Genshiro Yoshikuni also died in the battle of Kaizuron Castle.  Only Gengoro managed to escape by staying in Kasugayama Castle. If we take a closer look, three of my four dead sons are related to Tansheng! If this feud continues, should we fight with each other?  "Is this a grudge?" "This" Yukitaka Sanada never expected to bring so many tragic stories to the Shinano hero. He bowed apologetically and said, "Habayashi-don, I'm sorry!"  I didn¡¯t expect to bring you such great harm. I, Yukitaka, am really sorry" Murakami Yoshikiyo smiled, "I don't blame those who play the main hall. You and I have a life-and-death feud, and each has his own master. It's no wonder that the main hall As the years go by, my ambitions have long since disappeared with the wind. It's just bitter.  These children, but who calls them warriors?  To be a samurai, you must always be prepared to die. I just want to protect my youngest son and train him to inherit the Murakami family name. As for the rest, I will do my best!  " "That's exactly what I mean. We have worked hard for our family business for decades and have grown old. We can work for the town government to earn some family name and pass on our family business to young people.  "The two old enemies smiled at each other, and the blood feud of the past melted away. Ogasawara didn't know what happened to the two of them for a long time. They were glaring at each other just now. Now they seemed like best friends. He patted his head inexplicably.  He said with a smile: "Habayashi and Danzheng can see the people from Chikuma County, right?  What a disappointing group of warriors!  My long-standing reputation was ruined in their hands, a bunch of bastards who can't hold up the wall" Sanada Yukitaka shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "Noshu's mood is understandable, but now he is not relaxed.  At that time, the Lord issued an order to unify Shinano. I don¡¯t know what you two think of the remaining two counties. How can we, with more than 17,000 troops, capture Suwa and Ina counties?  " Ogasawara frowned deeply for a long time, and then said after a while: "This I'm afraid it won't be easy.  Unless the lord personally leads the army to attack Shinano, our heavenly army will easily conquer the two counties once they arrive. However, this will inevitably lead to the suspicion of killing a chicken with a bull's-eye. The agreement between the lord and Imagawajibuden is that he does not plan to dye his nails for the time being.  If I was asked to wait for the slow guide, it would take more time.  " Murakami Yoshikiyo nodded in agreement and said: "I'm not familiar with Suwa and Ijun counties, so I can't say anything about it. But I, Yoshikiyo, still remember that Suwa County was captured immediately after Takeda Shingen ascended the throne.  At the same time, he did not hesitate to imprison his sister Nami and his brother-in-law Suwa Yorishige. The family business of the Suwa family, the largest power in Suwa County, was inherited by Takeda Shingen's fourth son Suwa Katsuyori, and the Suwa people were very united.  I'm afraid it won't be easy to capture.  " "I'm not familiar with the specific situation of Central Shinano and Minami Shinano, since it's not that simple to talk about Ogasawara Noshuden.  Then let¡¯s take a long-term view!  Take this opportunity to appease the people in Chikuma County and reorganize the army. We can't let the newly formed Shinano Army become too scattered!  "Sanada Yukitaka made the final decision. "The Kira family's Shinano reserve has been stationed in Kaijin Castle and has not followed the strategy. The 17,000 newly formed Shinano regiments all come from Shinano locals, nearly half of whom are traitors.  As a new member of the Kira family, Yoshitoki Kira doesn't like these rebellious Nakashinano people very much, and he especially hates the people in Chikuma County. After all, this group of Japanese people who are ignorant of current affairs have brought him a lot of trouble.  . It was such a newly formed Shinano army that successfully captured Chikuma County with the cooperation of Yukitaka Murakami, Yoshikiyo Ogasawara, and Nagatoki Ogasawara. The brilliant achievements of the Kira family shocked the people of Shinano, and the people of Minami-Shinano once again shocked the people of Shinano.  Shaken, the attitude of Kiso Yoshiyasu of Kiso Valley Fukushima Castle became increasingly ambiguous, and Akiyama Nobutaki tried hard to suppress it but had little effect. The Takeda family had a certain foundation in Suwa County after more than ten years of operation, and Suwa County absorbed and retreated.  The total number of more than 6,000 defenders and the Shinano people who fled south one after another, plus the military strength in Suwa County, totaled more than 10,000, and there were sufficient reinforcements to support Kai. If the Takeda army insisted on holding on,  It is not easy to break through Suwa County. The situation of Ogasawara Nagatoki and others is inappropriate. It is impossible to bite this dog. Suwa County is a hedgehog covered with barbs, and it is easy to eat it.  The Shinano Army is not invulnerable, and there are almost no reinforcements behind them. The closest distance has to be dispatched from Kaizu Castle on Kawanaka Island, or Uchiyama Castle in Saku County across a mountain.  The logistics of the Qianda Army were under great pressure. Three-thirds of the food and fodder used by the army was collected from Shinano, but seventy-one percent was transported through several mountain passes across Shinano. This not only stretched the logistics supply very long, but also added an extra layer to the logistics transportation.  Ogasawara Nagato put forward his own opinion. He felt that after reaching this level, he could stop and recuperate for a year and a half before making a decision. However, the order from Kasugayama Castle was very clear that he must go all out, no matter the cost when necessary.  To conquer Saku County, there will be a key task next year. How far the Shinano Army can go depends on the judgment and skill of the three generals. Kira Yoshitsune was the guardian of Shinano, but he neither established a castle in Shinano nor planned to stay there.  The plan to station in Shinano sent a strong signal to the people of Shinano. The Lord's attention to Shinano was limited to this. His goal was obviously not to appease the stability of Shinano but to have a more ambitious goal.  Ambition, if the Shinano people cannot actively cooperate with the king's strategy, it may have unimaginable effects on themselves. Kirara Yoshito's attitude towards the people of Shinano is still somewhat different, and the security of the people of Northern Shinano has basically failed.In terms of security, the situation of the Chinese people in CITIC is more complicated. The Chinese people who are newly attached to the Kira family are just slick speculators in the eyes of the Kira family. It is not easy for them to obtain security from the Kira family.  Many of these speculators used to be staunch anti-Kira faction, but now the situation has become very bad. Now that the Kira family is in a good situation, they are even more daring to suppress the people of the country. Ogasawara Nagatoki once wrote a letter saying that if he does not give peace, what will happen?  To buy people's hearts, Yoshitoki Kira's reply to this was: "It doesn't matter, just let them make trouble. I want the world to know the cost of fighting against me. The people of Zhongxinon and the two counties must pay for it with their blood and loyalty."  Kira Yoshitsune was the official guardian of Shinano appointed by the shogunate. He had tens of thousands of strong soldiers and horses and a powerful reputation. The Takeda family who had the ability to intervene in Shinano was beaten to a crawl. The people who had taken refuge in Takeda in the past lost the reliance to persist in resistance.  The only way to take refuge in the Kira family is to be self-reliant. It goes without saying what a tragic result it would be to fight against the great master of the Three Kingdoms. Not everyone is as capable and lucky as Yukitaka Sanada. The only way to rebel in Cage City is to unite the whole family.  Extinction is a dead end.  The old way of pretending to surrender and then disobeying the enemy has long been dead. You didn't see the people of Saku County who were disobeying the orders, but they were seized by the prefecture's Miyabe Tsukijun and hunted down in the name of collaborating with the enemy. Nearly half of the people in Saku County were massacred. Chikuma County once  It is the most resolute area against Kira. The numerous wars in the past few years have left the county in a state of blood loss. Last year, many people died in the battle on Kawanaka Island. Many people in the country are facing the crisis of annihilation. Who dares to jump out and stir up trouble?  Don¡¯t you think you are exterminating the clan too quickly?  When everyone thought that the Kira family would treat the surrendered Nakashinano people kindly, just like Takeda Haruto did, the result was far beyond the expectations of the Nakashinano people. The security order did not fall from the sky but had to be earned with life.  , we need to use practical actions to test the loyalty and bravery of the Shinano people. Giving land to those who are timid and afraid of war is a waste of land. The dissatisfied people can raise the flag of rebellion again, and they can try whether the Kira family's tachi is sharp.  As the saying goes, it is better to use people who have made merit than to use people who have made mistakes. People who have made contributions always feel that they have made great contributions and will inevitably become proud. Samurai who make mistakes will only become more cautious. Kira Yoshitoki's security order is this  The noose tied around the Shinano people's necks and they didn't dare to let go, forcing the Zhongshinano people to feel uneasy, for fear that if they didn't perform well, they would be settled again.  The lord has his thoughts, and the generals at the front also have worries about the front. No matter how much the lord dislikes the people in the county, the general must appease the newly attached people in the county. At the very least, the etiquette must be in place to save face. According to Kasuga  Yamashiro's order hopes that they will try their best to use the Nakashinano people as the vanguard in the war, reward money for meritorious deeds and reduce seals, and try their best to eliminate this group of rat-like people.  Murakami Yoshikiyo and Sanada Yukitaka didn't know much about Shinano, so they wanted to take advantage of this peaceful confrontation period to make some preparations, such as Echigo's standard armor and weapons, rich meals, and various military merit rewards to inspire the people of the country.  We must use our enthusiasm and strive to use two to three months to build this army into a main force capable of fighting well.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
