    The most embarrassing thing for Yoshitoki Kira is that he feels very uncomfortable as a fake Ashikaga. No matter how many times the name of the Ashikaga family is used in external statements, the world still calls it the Kira family. The anti-Kira alliance highlights the importance of the Ashikaga family.  The Ashikaga family's embarrassing situation of being unable to move up or down. Perhaps this was the little trick played by Ashikaga Yoshiteru at the beginning, deliberately making Kira Yoshitoki swallow the bait thrown at him, forcing him into an embarrassing situation where he could not make progress but could not retreat.  When I looked at Kiragi after clearing his suspicions, I felt that it was really difficult. He was able to get to this point all these years thanks to his outstanding ability and extraordinary skills. He conquered a huge territory of nearly five countries from a remote territory in Echigo.  , to say how much credit the imperial court and shogunate had in this, it is really a bit high to look at them. Kira Yoshitoki's ability to reach this point relied on hard work and countless sweats. After the death of the Furukawa family, it is not necessary to ask for a serious name.  excusable.  "That makes sense, I'll leave this matter to Yu!" Konoe stood up and said to him: "Without any further delay, Yu will set off immediately and try to clear the way for you before summer comes. Then we can clear it for you."  You should hold the enthronement ceremony in Kamakura! " Konoe Maekaku was also very anxious, fearing that the matter could not be negotiated and delayed his important events, so he took the Kira family's speedboat back to Kyoto early the next morning.  I am very grateful for my brother's warm-heartedness, and it can be confirmed that his efforts to make the shogunate powerful were completely selfless. When he accused him, he did not consider the relationship between sworn brothers and in-laws. This kind of impartiality is really rare.  Kira Yoshitsune watched him leave, looking at the blue water extending to the sky in a daze. After a long time, he whispered in a low voice: "I'm sorry, brother! Although I didn't lie to you, I still concealed some facts General Zhengyi is  Yu is determined to win. No one can stop Yu from getting him!" The third day of February.  Mochizuki Yoshino gave birth to a son to Kira Yoshitoki. This was also the first happy event for the Ashikaga family in the fourth year of Eiroku. Kira Yoshino regarded it as a good omen for the beginning of the new year. For this reason, he gave the little son a baby name.  For Yoshichiyo, it symbolizes bringing good luck to him and his family, and he takes advantage of the last few days when the ice and snow melt to spend some quiet days with his wives.  It wasn¡¯t until February 12th that intelligence came from the front, the news that Uesugi Teruhora was coming out of Hirai Castle.  Only then did he leave the soft countryside and gather 5,000 troops to announce the expedition to Kanto. Before leaving, Kiragi also issued orders to the countries in his territory to speed up the reclamation of new fields. Nagao Masakage and Nagao Kagenobu still served as stay-at-home soldiers. This time  Also added a new face Nagao Yoshikage.  These five thousand troops did not choose the time-consuming and labor-intensive Mikuni Pass, but instead took the Shinano street that Uesugi Teruhora walked through, passed through the relatively flat and wide streets of Kita-Shinano and entered Saku-gun, and then turned to Nishi-Ueno and came to Hirai Castle to take charge.  In this military campaign against Kanto, hundreds of thousands of grains and grains were specially mobilized from Echigo to gather in Ueno Country. The entire Hirai Castle looked like a military station in all directions, with civilians and soldiers everywhere maintaining order.  Uesugi Teruhu set out with a force of 45,000 troops.  The Ueno regiment was not taken away together. Nagano Yamasa, Ueizumi Hidetsuna, Numata Soyasu and other Ueno retainers led 15,000 troops to guard Ueno's throat hinterland.  To ensure the safety of grain roads and grain supplies, at this time, coupled with the Kira Army's 5,000 main formation, Ueno Kingdom has another 20,000 troops.  Seeing the seemingly endless Kira Army, even the confident Fuuma ninjas couldn't help but retreat. They couldn't get close to the Kira Army's camp within 500 meters, because the Kira ninjas near the camp could be described as dense. Kira Yi  He was a master of sneak attacks at that time, so he was naturally the most defensive about sneak attacks and the like.  Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Fuma Kotaro immediately retreated with the Fuma ninjas. For him, he had completed the basic task of detecting the strength of the Kira army. If he continued to detect it, he would not only lose manpower but also increase the vigilance of the Kira family. It was enough.  If we are sure that the strength of Kira's army cannot be stopped, there is no need to alert others and cost lives.  There are only two names used by the Kira Army in this Kanto crusade. One is to severely punish Ashikaga Fujimasa, who dared to collude with the Miyoshi family who did evil and harmed the shogunate and brought disaster to Kyoto. The other is to hold an inauguration ceremony for Uesugi Terutora as the Kanto leader. For those with a discerning eye,  Everyone can see that these two are actually one, which is to attack the Sagami Hojo clan.  Hojo Ushimasa was so angry that he quickly notified Takeda Shingen and Imagawa Ujima to ask for support from the Three Kingdoms Alliance. At the same time, he contacted Ashikaga Fujimasa and various Kanto allies to ask them to send troops to fight against the barbaric Kira army. However, the Kanto samurai had another  How many people are willing to side with him to fight against the powerful Kira army?  None, including the former die-hard Chiba Yintomi and Oda Ujiharu who had received many benefits from the Hojo family, all the Kanto warriors pretended that they had not seen his letter for help, and some Chinese lords sent the Hojo family away with a few perfunctory words.  The messenger, while burning the letter, was still cursing in his heart: "This is a joke, let us touch the 60,000-strong Kira army? We have no enmity with him, who would be stupid to touch him!"   Facts have proved that even the slightly mentally disturbed Oda Ujiharu has shown sufficient IQ. At this time, no one will stand up to support the Hojo family, including the Hojo family's true die-hard ally, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but these two families refused  Don't forget to give a reason when you do it. It's better than those heartless Kanto people.  The Imagawa family really wanted to help his father-in-law and uncle, but unfortunately, since he ordered the killing of all the hostages in Suruga, the Imagawa family fell into an unprecedented chaos, and the Imagawa family was addicted to killing.  Zhen pulled out the people of the Toe country to fight again, but accidentally listened to Ono Noichi's slander and executed Ii Naochika, the lord of Toe Iiya.  Imagawa Shima, he just remembered that Naochi Ii seemed to be a relative of Naotora Ii. He unknowingly destroyed the Ii family again and regretted it to death. After thinking about it, he felt that this was all the fault of the treacherous minister Ono Michio.  He simply backhandedly killed Ono Michiyoshi, who offered the slanderous words, and then broke the dirty water to this unlucky guy, saying that it was Ii Naochi who he poisoned.  But no matter how he played, he could not conceal the result of the collapse of the Imagawa family due to his play. At this time, Matsudaira Ieyasu of Mikawa successfully captured Tojo Castle and drove Kira Yoshian away to Saijo Castle. At the same time, he successfully mobilized Higashi Mikawa.  The Chinese joined his team, and took advantage of Imagawa's real play to extend his tentacles to Yuanjiang Kingdom.  This also means that the "Yuanjiang Juju Opera" has officially begun.  Matsudaira Ieyasu received the political guarantee of the Seishu Alliance from Oda Nobunaga.  Then he devoted all his strength to the war to unify the three rivers.  At present, the impact on Far River can only be considered partial and not too great. The one who really puts great pressure on Far River and Suruga is actually Takeda Shingen who is shrinking in Kai.  Takeda Shingen and his son Takeda Yoshinobu were at loggerheads. The reason was that there was serious opposition in the direction of housekeeping. Takeda Yoshinobu was the real brother-in-law of the Imagawa clan, the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he was the pro-Imagawa leader of the Takeda family.  He was very dissatisfied with his father's "kind help" to the Imagawa family. He believed that the Three Kingdoms Alliance was an unbreakable alliance and should not interfere with many of his allies.  But his behavior this time not only angered Takeda Shingen.  It also completely angered the already restless group of Kanadai retainers, who united and appealed to Takeda Shingen, hoping to persuade and educate Takeda Yoshinobu so that he could change his mind as soon as possible. If the Takeda family does not expand, there will be only a dead end.  Takeda Shingen understands that the plea of ??the Genedai retainers is not simple. It can be seen as a plea or a threat. Maybe this time it is a plea, and next time it may be a sword fight. When you see their angry expressions, it is already  This shows that the conflict between the two parties has developed to an irreconcilable point, and from the current point of view, the anger of the Genedai Retainers Group has almost reached a critical point.  As the governor of the family, he did not make a statement on the spot. He still maintained the majesty and secrecy of the family governor. After all the family ministers had left, he sighed alone: ??"You are right. The Takeda family needs to take action as soon as possible.  Staying in Kai will only make the Takeda family fall into decline and turmoil. Only by leaving Kai can we see hope. The family decided to take advantage of the opportunity when the Hojo family was attacked by the Kira army, but in this way, Taro would be sacrificed.  !¡± Takeda Shingen had already made up his mind to take action against his legitimate son, so he suddenly attacked Takeda Yoshinobu during Uesugi Teruhora¡¯s absence in the Musashi Kingdom. He used a seemingly absurd charge of ¡°colluding with the Imagawa clan to plot to exile the family governor.¡±  He sent his legitimate son to Tokoji Temple and put him under house arrest. Takeda Yoshinobu's gang members were also captured, killed and exiled. In just a few days, the pro-Takeda Yoshinobu party was uprooted.  Among them, there is the strong support and active cooperation of the clan retainers, because they know that Takeda Shingen is going to send troops to Suruga. This is also something they have been eagerly looking forward to for a long time. Without expansion, everyone will continue to live a hard life in the mountains.  This is cruel to the Kai samurai who has seen the colorful world outside the mountains, and his own interests are more important than whether the young master is wronged or not.  Takeda Shingen urgently transferred Suwa Shiro Katsuyori back from Suwa County, and changed his name to Takeda Katsuyori to train him as the successor of the family governor. Takeda Nobushige also rushed back from Suwa County and asked Takeda Shingen to let Taro Yoshinobu go, and the legitimate son used a  It was unreasonable to arrest him under house arrest for an inexplicable reason. Takeda Nobushige simply did not believe that his nephew would do something treasonous.  "Brother, please listen to me!" Takeda Nobushige pleaded: "Taro is a good boy. He will never betray his brother and betray the Takeda family. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Please give Taro a chance to explain." "  The family also knows that Taro may have been wrongly accused, but the family members have joined forces to accuse Taro of treason, and the evidence is so conclusive that the family governor is helpless!" Takeda Shingen could only say perfunctory: "Don't worry, Nobushige, Taro is the legitimate son of the family.  It will make him feel wronged!"I have a plan that I want to discuss with you in detail" Of course Takeda Nobushige would not believe Takeda Shingen's words, but he was stopped by heavily guarded samurai outside Tokoji Temple.  He couldn't even see him face to face. In the past few days, he had been running around the Tsuzaki Mansion to appeal and there was no one who was willing to talk to him. His heart was half cold. It was obvious that this was a conspiracy between the family governor and Hodai to betray him.  The person who changed from his father Nobutora Takeda to his nephew Nobutora Takeda has always been famous for his unparalleled loyalty, but he was helpless in the face of another betrayal by his brother. If he was involved in the betrayal of Takeda Nobutora last time,  In this betrayal, he just watched the changes as an outsider. The Takeda family unknowingly lowered their bottom line in betrayals again and again. Takeda Nobushige even had the illusion that his brother would be betrayed sooner or later.  He didn't dare to save his nephew. Takeda Nobushige's frustration was palpable. There was only so much he could do as a member of the Shodai clan. He had already noticed the deep look in his brother's eyes when he proposed to release Takeda Yoshinobu.  The fear of Yukitaka Sanada's reputation for repeatedly blocking him outside the army has given him a lot of prestige in the family. The relationship between the brothers was already very distant, and the relationship between the two brothers became even more obvious because of power and prestige.  It became subtle. Takeda Shingen took the opportunity to introduce to him the plan to invade Suruga, and intended to let him serve as the vanguard general to command five thousand troops to conquer Suruga. Takeda Nobushige had no way of resisting this change of military power.  He could only watch as Baba Nobharu and Sone Masayo dismembered the hundred-war army he had commanded, leaving him with only the original members of the Takegawa clan and some of the Japanese troops who had fled from Shinano.  When he asked for help, Takeda Shingen also took advantage of the situation and reinstated the Sagami Hojo clan, telling him to expose the conspiracy between the Imagawa family and his legitimate son, the Takeda family, and determined to launch a crusade against the foolish and unscrupulous Imagawa clan, and invited the Hojo family to take this opportunity to join him.  Hojo Ushimasa, who was divided into the Suruga Imagawa clan by the Suruga Kingdom, almost fainted from anger when he received the autographed document from Takeda Shingen. He dared to swear to the gods and Buddhas that he had never seen such a shameless family governor, and he blatantly treated another hardcore person.  The allies took action, but they still shyly proposed to share the Suruga Kingdom with their families. This was simply a trampling of the sacred contract of the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Kosogi and Shun, and it was also a blatant provocation to the Suruga Imagawa clan, who have a long history of in-laws.  , This is a slap in the face of the Sagami Hojo clan. Hojo Ushimasa's face was bruised and bloody by this piece of paper. The Hojo clan Yasuyasu, who lived in seclusion in Odawara Castle and did not care about the world, was also very angry. He had long noticed that there was something wrong with the Takeda family.  The situation was unstable, but he always felt that his precious son-in-law, the Imakawa family, could really withstand the pressure. In addition, the intimidation of the Hojo family was enough to hear the Imagawa family's temporary crisis, but he did not expect that Kira Yoshiki would turn on his Hojo family.  How could it be possible to attack when 65,000 troops gathered in Kanto? The members of the Hojo family's lineage were already panicking, and they became even more worried when they heard that Takeda Shingen took advantage of the Hojo family's crisis and betrayed their allies, the Imagawa family.  Panicked, the territory of the Izu 14th family was only a stone's throw away from the east side of Suruga. After Takeda Shingen announced his invasion of Suruga, it caused a mass commotion among the Izu people.  Hojo Shigeki said indignantly: "Takeda Shingen is so ambitious! He must have been coveting the Imagawa family's territory in the past few years. This time, taking advantage of the Kira family's army to go south to Kanto to seize Suruga country, our Hojo family will never let Takeda Shingen go!"  "We can't let go of the evil thieves of the Takeda family! Letting them attack Suruga will mean the complete collapse of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The Takeda family's blood loss from Suruga will pose a great threat to the border security of our Hojo family." Boss  Matsuda Morihide said: "No matter how hard it is, we must send troops to support the Imagawa family!" "But the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Uesugi Dan is entering Ontake Castle with an army of 45,000, and he is invading southward.  Now that it is clear, how can we resist the chaos on both sides?" Daidaiji Masashige said worriedly: "The Kira family is coming with force and its intentions are self-evident. The allies in Kanto are pretending to be deaf and dumb, making our Hojo family fall into unprecedented passivity.  "Ah!" Daidoji Masashige's meaning is very simple. At this time, the Sagami Hojo clan is in an unprecedented crisis. Rushing to help Suruga is likely to fall into a deep quagmire. It is definitely not a good choice to start a war between Suruga and the Takeda family.  , Not to mention that all the interests of the Hojo family are in Kanto, Suruga will be a trouble for them to defeat. If they cannot defeat it, they will face the crisis of Izu being directly threatened by the Takeda family's military.  What's more important is that the main force of the Hojo family does not dare to move for a moment, for fear that the elusive Kira army will attack them from some tricky angle. At this time, assisting the Imagawa family is an act that is not worth the gain.  The governor of the house should focus on the overall situation of Musashi Province's Kira invading army.  Hojo Ushimasa¡¯s face was very ugly. The governorIt was completely different from the position and starting point of the Genedai retainer. He had to admit that what Daidoji Masashige said was very reasonable, but politics was not a static consideration of interests. There were also various factors that needed to be taken into consideration, such as reputation, morale, trust, and hope.  changes in influence.  In his opinion, face is even more important than profit. The Takeda family dared to shamelessly invite him to hunt Suruga together. This is equivalent to grabbing the Hojo family's face and crushing it against the wall. The most outrageous thing than a slap in the face is probably this.  To this extent, if the Hojo family chooses to pinch their noses and give in, how will the governor of the Hojo Ujimasa convince so many family members in the future?  The most important thing for a governor is his personal prestige and the credibility of his retainers. A governor with a high prestige can be arbitrary and still be convinced by his retainers. A governor with insufficient prestige can also be suppressed, puppeted, exiled or even assassinated by other representatives.  There are many tragedies abounding, the distant ones include the two tragedies of Kamakura Shogunate Minamoto no Yoriie and Minamoto Mitoto, and the recent ones include Ashikaga Yoshitsune, Ashikaga Yoshisai, Ashikaga Yoshiharu and many other tragedies.  Even if the shogun's family could not avoid being exiled and killed by retainers and puppets, not to mention that these low-level daimyo people were repeatedly defeated and died in the turmoil at home. What the Hojo family was proud of was nothing more than the unity of retainers in Sagami Izu and the Three Kingdoms of Koso Shun.  The Alliance serves as a model leader for all types of covenants.  When the Three Kingdoms Alliance faced the crisis of breaking up, Hojo Umasagi couldn't even save his brother-in-law and cousin-in-law, the Imagawa clan. It was too embarrassing to have his allies forcibly dismembered in front of others. The reclusive Hojo Ujiyasu attended the evaluation meeting.  He also spoke: "We must warn Takeda Daizen-don not to act rashly. Please ask the Izu clan to send three thousand troops to Kadong County to assist the Imagawa family! Eyuki Saidon will go to Sunfu to communicate with Imagawa Xingbu-den about relevant assistance matters." Itabe Okae Yukssai-don  Standing up to agree to the promise, the Hojo family's retainers were also affected by the proposal of their old family governor and fell into short thinking. Many of the retainers present quickly figured out the key points. Yamato Harutong said thoughtfully: "Da  In front of the enemy, Yakata ordered the Izu people to go rescue Imagawa Xingbuden. Could it be that" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
