    At the Furukawa Imperial Palace in the Shimonoseki Kingdom, Ashikaga Fujimasa went crazy in the castle tower. His subordinates and friends who were particularly favored in the past did not dare to get close. The dignified Lord Furukawa was pointed at his nose and threatened by a member of the clan who was lower than himself.  Threatening to bring tens of thousands of troops to the door to destroy him, Lord Furukawa, this humiliation was enough to drive Ashikaga Fujimasa crazy for a while.  He did act like this. For several days in a row, he broke things and cursed people. The people who were attached to the Furukawa Imperial Palace were completely afraid to visit him. Harusuke Kamada disappeared for many days in a row. Ashikaga Fujimasa these days  Tian scolded all the eighteen generations of Kira Yoshi's ancestors, and even dragged his own ancestors into it. In the eyes of the servants, Lord Furukawa was already crazy.  On this day, Ashikaga Fujimasa smashed another pile of lacquerware and roared: "Kirara Yoshitoki! I want to be at odds with you! The Kanto samurai under Yu's wife will tear you to pieces! Yu's sworn brother Hojo Ushimasa will kill you! You  This bastard" Matsunagamichi held two pretty maids in his arms and watched Ashikaga Fujimasa go crazy. The two maids were so frightened by the crazy Furukawa Lord that they were trembling. Even Matsunagamichi put his hands into his clothes and rubbed them.  Dare to move. In his opinion, Mr. Furukawa is going crazy but not completely crazy. Ashikaga Fujimasa goes crazy for a while every day and then returns to normal at night. Is this called crazy?  Definitely Not.  After performing performance art all afternoon, Mr. Furukawa was also very tired. He turned around and found Matsunaga Michi still watching the fun with his arms around him, so he dismissed the two blind maids and complained to him: "  Your Highness, Matsunaga, is so irresponsible! Why didn＊t you try to persuade Yu when he was going crazy for several days? It＊s all money for smashing so many things! Now even the maids don＊t dare to take out the porcelain.  Smash it!" Matsunaga Hide still held the handkerchief of an unknown maid in his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, "It's right for His Highness K身kata to be angry. That Kira Yoshiki didn't know what to do and threatened His Highness.  Safety, if His Highness cannot express the anger of a samurai properly, he will definitely be looked down upon by the Kanto samurai family! " "That's what I think. But what I did seems not to be successful. What went wrong?"  Fujimasa was very confused. The retainers were too frightened by the success to come to see him, but the people of the Kanto Kingdom showed no intention of coming to admonish him. He, the public servant, could not continue to go crazy.  Matsunaga Michi said: "His Royal Highness K身kata has done a good job, but it is not enough! We should write letters to contact the lords of the Kanto countries to fight against the Kira family together. Attacking the Furukawa Imperial Palace is not a trivial matter. If the people of Kanto country can't even understand this truth, it's not a trivial matter."  It's impossible to survive in this troubled world! " "That makes sense, I'll write a letter to ask for help!" Ashikaga Fujimasa was stopped just as he was about to stand up.  Matsunaga has no hope at all for the IQ of this idiot, but if he goes crazy for a few days and then asks for help, he can summon the people of Guandong. I think they have come here a long time ago, so why wait for you to pretend to be crazy?  Come again.  The current situation of the Furukawa Imperial Palace is that there is not even an important minister in charge of the government. Matsunagamichi is just a bitch who uses a tiger skin as a banner. At present, it seems that this tiger skin has a tendency to lose its prestige, mainly Ashikaga Fujimasa.  This good-for-nothing superintendent is incompetent.  Unable to win over the Genedai retainers and the people of Kanto, he turned the short-lived anti-Kira alliance into something completely different and had to end in an anticlimactic manner.  Matsunaga was also very anxious in his heart, and he earnestly persuaded Ashikaga Fujimasa: "His Majesty Kakata wrote a letter asking for help in such a hurry, and there should be no response. Considering the situation of Furukawa Imperial Palace, it is difficult to say how many reinforcements can be invited, and Kira  The army is so powerful that even the Hojo family can't resist it. I think the Kanto lords will carefully consider the risks involved in raising their troops!" "What should I do if I watch Kira Yoshiki come to the door?  " Ashikaga Fujimasa turned pale with fright. He recalled the painful Furukawa Incident more than ten years ago. The crisis that the Furukawa Imperial Palace might be attacked by fire at any time made him tremble. This was a lingering thought from his childhood.  Go to the shadows.  Twelve years ago, his father Ashikaga Haruji died suddenly.  The eldest brother Ashikaga Fuji killed Mrs. Hojo and another brother Umechiyo Omaru with the assistance of his uncle Hajida Harusuke. Then the Hojo family broke into Furukawa Imperial Palace and killed his brother Ashikaga Fuji.  The young Ashikaga Fujimasa was caught. There was a time when his life could not be saved and he was kept in a claustrophobic confinement in Soeiji Temple without seeing the light of day.  During that time, he could not see anyone else. Ashikaga Fujimasa, who was only eight years old, had no idea how to survive. He was restricted to live alone in a small room every day. The door was guarded day and night by samurai from the Hojo family.  The gate, food and clothing were all served by two elderly people. The young Ashikaga Fujimasa huddled in the corner and had nightmares alone every night. This process lasted for a long time.  Later, for some unknown reason, Hojo Ujiyasu released him and arranged for him to be the official official of Furukawa.At this point, his life seems to have suddenly changed in one direction, from a criminal awaiting death to the supreme Lord Furukawa. Not only did he marry the daughter of the Hojo family as his wife, he also won the strong support of many people in the Kanto country. For this reason, he  There was also a time when I went crazy with joy and did many crazy things.  He knows that everything he has is given by the Hojo family, so since he ascended the throne as Lord Furukawa, he has spared no effort to support the expansion of the Hojo family. Several attempts by the Kanto people to organize an anti-Hojo alliance have failed because of obstruction. Maybe he did not  It is possible to encourage the people of Guandong to cause great trouble, but it is still very easy to destroy an alliance that has great hope of success. This is the so-called failure of success and failure.  What Ashikaga Fujimasa fears most is that the Furukawa Imperial Palace will come knocking on his door again. He will do anything to prevent the invasion of the Kira family. He urgently hopes that Matsunagamichi can come up with a way to avoid disaster for him, but Matsunagamichi has no idea.  It's another matter. He is not a vassal of the Furukawa family, and he is not even a guest general. He just came to Kanto to disrupt the Kira family's expansion plan in accordance with his father's instructions.  Different starting points mean that the interests of both parties are completely different. Ashikaga Fujimasa wants to continue his dream of unifying Kanto as Furukawa, while Matsunaga just needs Furukawa to stand.  Just come out and stop the Kira family from invading.  As for whether Furukawa's interests will be damaged or his own safety is not included in the plan.  Thinking of this, Matsunaga's thoughts gradually became clear.  He said with a smile: "This is a plan I have made. I wonder if His Highness can adopt it." "Please tell me, I will definitely agree!" Matsushita Nagashima said unhurriedly: "I think that the difficulties His Highness has encountered are  It is simply that the Furukawa Imperial Palace lacks defense power. The people of the Kanto Kingdom should send troops to assist the Lord Furukawa when he is in trouble. However, the people of each country have their own difficulties and some deep-rooted contradictions, which makes many people of the Kanto Kingdom not help His Highness the Lord even if they intend to.  They will also give up the rescue plan because the external pressure on their own territory is too great" Ashikaga Fujimasa interrupted hurriedly: "That makes sense, but how can I convince these Kanto people who are hostile to each other?  In fact, it is not difficult to say. The name of Koga Furukawa is a golden sign in the eight Kanto countries. The people of Kanto country are willing to recognize you as the co-owner of Kanto. This is largely because of the accumulated experience of His Highness Kogata＊s family over the past hundreds of years.  Prestige, as long as His Highness K身kata finds a way to take this position!" Matsunagamichi gradually showed his fox tail, but Ashikaga Fujimasa didn't realize that this mentor was actually trying to trick him.  After reciting the word "name" several times, Ashikaga Fujimasa sat down depressed and complained: "Last time, I followed Matsunagaden's suggestion to grant the Kanto people the title of House of Houses. As a result, there was collective opposition from the eight houses of Kanto. In the end, I could only  He pinched his nose and swallowed back what he said. The Edo family and the Oda family were very unhappy about this! "Matsu Nagasaki's face darkened, and he secretly cursed Ashikaga Fujimasa for not speaking up.  The superior also had a look of remorse and said with shame: "Last time, I was not familiar with the customs of Kanto. I made a mistake and came up with a way to mislead His Highness Gongfang's judgment. I want to apologize to His Highness Gongfang, my Sanhao family  I definitely didn＊t mean to deceive His Highness K身k身!§ ※I know this very well. Matsunaga-don traveled thousands of miles from Kinai to assist Yu in unifying the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto. I am very grateful!§ Ashikaga Fujimasa seemed very grateful!  I understand Matsunaga's loyalty and courage in coming all the way to help him.  In his opinion, the so-called genealogical elders of the Koga family were not reliable at all, including his uncle Harusuke Kada, who had ulterior motives.  It was just an attempt to fool him, Koga Furukawa.  The corrupt family clan, Harusuke Kada, who has a strong desire for power, the obedient but incompetent fellow friends, and the people of Kanto who have barely shown their faces in front of him.  The circle of Furukawa's retainers that formed Ashikaga Fujimasa, if you include the self-absorbed Hojo Ushimasa, could be called his personal social circle.  Most of these people are of no use in the eyes of Ashikaga Fujimasa. With so many useless retainers, it would be better to have Matsunaga Michichi who can be called a "confidant". It would be great if he could be his face.  Okay, thinking of this, Ashikaga Fujimasa suddenly raised his head and looked at Matsu Nagatomi carefully, staring at him, which sent chills down his spine.  Matsunaga had no idea what weird things this perverted guy was thinking about. He always felt that his eyes were staring at him, so he pretended to cough and said: "I mean that His Highness Gongfang wants to face  The Kira family must do something extraordinary. If the resistance of the Kwantung People's Army cannot be aroused, the Furukawa Imperial Palace will surely suffer disaster, and the fate of His Highness K身kata will not be so good. " "Then how can I be encouraged.  The reaction of the Kanto peopleWhere is your heart!  " "Of course I have to take something from His Highness and give it to the people of Guandong!  "A hint of cruelty and cunning flashed in Matsunagami's eyes.  On July 17, Uesugi Teruhora led an army of 30,000 troops and attacked Sagami Country. This time he targeted the Tamana Castle, an important point in Higashi Sagami.  This city is an important support point for the Hojo family on the north shore of Sagami Bay. The owner of the city is Hojo Hitachiki Shigeshige, the son of the current governor of the Tamana Hojo clan, Hojo Tsusunari. This fortified city is defended and owned by more than 4,000 elite Hojo troops.  With abundant supplies of food and grass, Hojo Ujimasa thought there should be no problem in using this city to defend the city until winter to force the Kira Army to withdraw. His idea was indeed reasonable and in line with the habits of the Kanto samurai family, but the Kira Army's descriptions were always unexpected.  The 30,000-strong army was transformed into three groups, with Kakizaki Keie and Saito Asanobu each leading 10,000 troops, raging in Higashi-Sagami Country. In just a few days, they destroyed the city and killed everyone east of the Sagami River.  The Hojo family was emptied of power, and Tamana Castle was completely isolated from the Sagami country's walled defense circle. Then they slowly started to play the trick of catching turtles in a jar. The Kira Army's tactics may not be suitable for the Hojo Army's samurai.  Familiar. But as a general, Hojo Ushige knows very well that the Kira Army is good at overwhelming people rather than simply fighting head-on. Bad news keeps coming to the defenders in Tamanagi Castle. July 23, Sai.  Fuji Asanobu entered Kamakura to wipe out the remnants of the Hojo clan, and within a few days he further captured Arai Castle, taking advantage of the situation to completely incorporate the Miura Peninsula into the Kira family system. As the war ahead became more and more unfavorable, the atmosphere in Tamanawa Castle became strange.  Changes have had varying degrees of psychological impact on the guarding samurai and ashigaru. Defending the city is not as simple as having enough food and good soldiers. The ultimate goal of defending the city is to completely repel the invaders.  The defenders need not only elite defenders and enough food and water, but also high morale and the hope of persevering. Only when they can see the hope of victory can they be motivated. If the warriors always know that they will die if they cannot defend themselves,  Will they still have the morale to continue to hold on? It＊s not the first day that Hojo Ujishige has been the leader of the city. As a general who has commanded the army for many years, he knows this truth very well. No matter how many troops there are without morale, they will be weak, and even if there are very few troops with strong morale, they will still have the morale to hold on.  It can also win wars, such as the Battle of Fujigawa in the Genpei War, and the slightly closer 100,000 shogunate troops in the late Kamakura period who surrounded Akasaka City with 500 soldiers and could not attack it for a long time. The Central Plains Dynasty also has allusions to soldiers.  From the side, it illustrates the important role of morale and fighting will in an army. The Kira army's morale is high when it captures the city, but its four thousand defenders are sitting in the trapped city without doing anything. The samurai under them are very anxious, and the farmers are even more anxious. The Kira army is attacking.  The walled city was their own, and the villages they robbed were their own. The money and food belonged to them, but it was only in vain that the samurai of the Hojo Army found Hojo.  Ujishige asked the general to take them out of the city to repel Kira's army. This request was rejected by him without hesitation: "I can understand your mood. Not only are you anxious, but I am also anxious, but there are some things that are useless no matter how anxious you are.  ah!  The situation outside the city is completely unclear. We cannot easily lead our troops to leave the city without permission. What if the Kira army uses deception to trick our troops into leaving the city again?  § Everyone understands the truth, but it is not so easy to do it. Hojo Shigeki has the heavy responsibility of guarding the eastern part of Sagami Province and has no choice. If he had followed his original intention, he would have rushed out with four thousand troops to fight the Kira army.  , The heavy burden and the circumstances prevent him from continuing to act like before. As a general, he must have the courage to be honorable and disgraceful. Hojo Ujishige has not done very well, but he has been working hard to learn to do better.  The samurai of the Hojo Army persuaded him to go back. When he turned around, he heard that his lord was about to cross the Sagami River with an army of 20,000 men. He was so frightened that he quickly wrote a letter to dissuade the Hojo family from being emotional. At this time, the Kira Army was very cunning.  Tigers were lurking around Sagami Country looking for opportunities to pounce. At this time, leading the army eastward would definitely fall into the trap of Kira Army. He did not know what changes had taken place in Odawara Castle in just a few months, let alone.  I don＊t know how much pressure the Kira ninjas have put on the Hojo family by sneaking into Nishi Sagami to stir up trouble. Even the townspeople in Odawara Castle have spread many rumors that are not conducive to the Hojo family. For example, the Kira army surrounded Tamana Castle and wanted to kill them.  In the eyes of many lower-level samurai of the Hojo family, the small machine city does not give the Hojo family any chance of survival. The Hojo clan is a very unqualified family governor. The Musashi Kingdom is the Yoshino that the Hojo family has worked hard to defeat for two generations. It has not yet been kept in the pocket.  Rehu is about to be handed over to the Kira family, and now it is even necessary to give away Higashi Sagami, who has belonged to the Hojo family for three generations. The evaluation of the Hojo clan among the Sagami people is almost catching up with the Imagawa clan, "the lord of the country's subjugation".    What is in front of the Hojo Ujimasa is such a mess. Not only is there war on the eastern front, but also the western front is very uneasy. The Three Kingdoms Alliance of Koshigashi Shun was easily torn up by Takeda Shingen. The Takeda Army brazenly invaded Suruga Country and plundered Sunfu Castle in one fell swoop.  , the people of Izu showed varying degrees of vacillation, and the dissent and debate within the group was very intense.  His ally Takeda Shingen brazenly broke the alliance and chose to kill his other ally and in-law, the Imagawa family. Hojo Ushimasa himself was very angry and hated it, but the Kira army was right in front of him and he could not find the strength to support the Imagawa family.  , could only silently endure the accusations from the retainers, and worked hard to discuss strategies with his father, Hojo Ujiyasu.  After a period of sleepless discussions, Hojo Ushimasa was still determined to personally lead the charge against Kira's army. Whether it was for the personal dignity of the family governor or to do what he could for the Hojo family, he had reason to use all his strength for it.  The 20,000-strong army was all the troops raised from Odawara Castle. Once this army came out, Odawara became an empty city.  Hojo Ushimasa led 20,000 troops to quickly march to the west bank of the Sagami River and set up a formation, assuming a posture of wanting to fight to the death with the Kira army. Saito Asanobu was overjoyed when he saw this posture, and immediately joined the Kakizaki Kage family to prepare to forcefully cross the Sagami River.  The Hojo Army launched a massive offensive in an effort to defeat the Hojo Army in one fell swoop.  PS: Kira ninjas are humans, not gods. They can＊t fly or escape, and they don＊t have the ability to see through people＊s hearts. There are a thousand core ninjas, most of them are military ninjas, and a few are ninjas who specialize in gathering intelligence.  There are so many that they can only be used as informants. Their skills are ineffective and they are mainly concentrated in the five major intelligence outlets in the five countries, Kanto and Kinei. Among them, the intelligence collection in the territory is the most comprehensive, followed by Kanto and Kinei. As for Mikawa Nato, there are more than a dozen  In places where I haven't been back in years, there is usually nothing going on and there is basically no management. Similarly, Owari Ise and other countries have not set up intelligence collection points.
