Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 298 Meinong Power

In Yingdong City.

In the Tibetan Chang'an, Masuda Changsheng is reporting to Li Xiaozhen the situation of this time the salt is shipped to Shinano.

After hearing the report of the two, Li Xiao said with a smile on his face, saying: "Very well, that is to say, before the salt arrived at Shenshi Castle by Kuroda Gorozaemon, you have removed everything from Hida. , The salt that was shipped to Shinano is almost sold out, right?".

Masuda Nagasaki uttered a loud voice and said, "Exactly, lord, only two or three tenths are left, and the rest are sold out. There have been rumors in the market that Imakawa Hojo cuts off salt from my Takeda family, so I don’t care. The amount of salt sold was more than three times higher than that in Hida, but when it was put on the market, it was swept away by various merchants. In the end, even four times the price of salt was collected."

Daizo Changan also added a sentence on the side, saying: “Because we sold a lot, the price of salt in Shinano has fallen compared with that before Imakawa’s Hojo cut off the salt. So when Kuroda Gorozaemon and other Echigo salt merchants When they arrive, they can only sell it at a par with the local salt price."

Li Xiao couldn’t help laughing after hearing it, and said: “Very well, Uesugi Kenshin named it, and I take advantage of Li Xiao. Of course, I can’t let Uesugi Kenshin take advantage of all these good things. The military expenses of the dispatching county Hachiman Castle should be enough."

Da Zang Changan uttered aloud, and said, "It is enough, but please use it as you please."

Li Xiao nodded, and he was not surprised at all replaying the old tune of Tibetan Chang'an.

The three were discussing, when Yokotani Yukiki walked in to report to Li Xiaomi, saying that Yokotani Yukishige, who had been inquiring about Omi Mino, had returned to Hida.

This is the first time since Yokotani Yukoshige was sent to Mino by Li Xiao to collect information on Oda and Kinki six months ago.

Li Xiao was also anxious to know the information of the Oda family and Mino at the moment, so he immediately stopped the conversation with Dazo Changan and Masuda Changsheng, and immediately ordered Yokotani to return to the secret room to see him.

In the secret room.

Yokotani Xingzhong was still decorated as a vain monk. He knelt on the ground and said to Li Xiaoyan: "Meet the lord."

Li Xiao nodded, and said: "Fortunately, this trip has been hard. How about Dong Changyao's contact with the old county in the county, right? Few words"

Yukiya Yokotani reiterated: "Returning to the lord, Mr. Dong Changyao, has contacted the old ministry of more than two hundred people, and has also contacted several Endo's retainers. They have all served in the Dong clan before."

"Very good," Li Xiao looked happy, and then asked, "Then can these Endo's retainers go to bed? I want them to act as an internal response when I attack the city."

Yokotani Yukiju replied: "Return to the lord, because he kept the secret, Dong Changyao is only collecting the old ministry in his own name, so these retainers are still watching. I think if these people see it, I will take the Takeda army when the county is under Hachiman Castle. , Someone will inevitably be shaken."

Li Xiao nodded, and Dong Changyao was really useful.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in opposing the enemy's retainers, he has already played a role in weakening the power of the Endo family.

"However, the situation of the Endo family has changed, Lord Nagaido has now moved his residence to Toden Mountain Castle. Toden Mountain Castle and Gujo Hachiman Castle are horns to each other. If we attack Gujo Hachiman Castle, we will inevitably encounter Nagai Road. Li's flanking."

"Why Changjing Daoli moved Jucheng to Dongdian Mountain City? This is a bit of a surprise." Li Xiao frowned slightly and said. He had planned to attack Gushang Hachiman City first before returning to repel enemy reinforcements.

But Nagai Daori's staying in Dongdian Mountain City meant that Li Xiao could not ignore the pressure behind Dongdian Mountain City and calmly attack Gujo Hachiman Castle.

"Exactly," Yokotani explained.

Li Xiaocai understood the reason. The original Seki Castle where Daori Nagai was located was defeated by the Oda Army in the Battle of Kajida. Although it was later recovered, the city was too dilapidated and the Oda family was gaining power in Mino.

That's why Nagai Daori gave up the main castle gate and came to live here temporarily with his cheap son, Endo Kei Takataka.

The arrival of Nagai Daori added a few more variables for Li Xiao to capture the prefecture Hachiman Castle.

After Li Xiao had a good idea, he asked Yokotani Yukiko about the Oda family's movements. This is what Li Xiao pays more attention to.

Because if Li Xiao sent troops to Mino, he would have to cooperate with the time when the Oda family captured Inabayama Castle.

If Li Xiao enters Mino early, it is likely to be attacked by the Saito family of Mino's guardian generation, as well as by the tycoons of Mino. With Li Xiao's current power, it is far from being able to fight the entire Mino.

Therefore, Li Xiaocai must use the Oda family to attack Inabayama Castle, sending troops when the situation in Mino is turbulent.

Yokotani Yukishige first told Oda's movements. It turned out that Nobunaga did not continue to attack Mino since the construction of Sumata, and instead began to buy and divide the local tycoons in Nishi Mino.

Confidently attacked Mino for a long time, and after many battles, Higashi Mino Toyama Family and Kaji Tanzo returned to the Oda Family one after another, while Doto Castle Lord Sushin Kishin resisted the Oda Army, and the clan was destroyed. End.

Now the hearts of the rich and powerful people in Mino have been shaken. In order to keep their family names, many small and powerful families have secretly contacted the Oda family or moved closer.

At this time, Mino spread the rumor that the Oda Army seemed to be entering and leaving at will on the clan's territory.

The clan, even the clan Naomoto, is one of the three of Nishimeino.

The three of Nishimino are Mino, the three most authoritative retainers from Saito Ryuko, and the documents signed by these three can pass in Nishimino.

The family Naomoto is the strongest among the three of Nishimeno, and he is also good friends with another Nishimeno San Ando Mamoru.

Naomoto of the clan might be connected with the Oda family, and it became a rumor that spread in Mino.

Li Xiao knew that this 80% was Oda Nobunaga's rumors about walking, and it was precisely for Saito Ryuko to suspect the Mino trio, so he pushed them against them.

After all, Saito Ryuxing had imprisoned Ando in Inaba Mountain Castle before, triggering the case of the sixteen Takenaka Hanbei who captured the city.

Li Xiao knows that in history, Oda Nobunaga's strategy finally succeeded. It was the defection of the three Mino people that led to the destruction of the Saito family.

After Nobunaga ruled Mino, the trio of Mino became a powerful army under Nobunaga's command.

Li Xiao listened to Yokotani's explanation of the perfect situation, and asked, "What is Nobunaga doing?"

Yokotani returned to the report and said that the current Oda Nobunaga, apart from splitting and buying the Mino tycoons and holding on to the Mino front, turned around and launched an offensive from Owari to Ise.

Li Xiao's eyes flashed upon hearing the news.

He knew that if Nobunaga wanted to go to Los Angeles, he could only take the two major routes from Mino to Omi, or from Owari to Ise. The former takes the Higashiyama Road and the latter takes the Tokaido.

If you attack Ise from Owari, although the route is short and the shortcut is taken, even if Shangluo succeeds, the foundation is unstable and it is easy to be counterattacked by the forces of Omi and Mino.

Moreover, the situation of Ise is complicated, with many rich and powerful families, and the difficulty of attacking Ise is not inferior to that of Mino.

Therefore, the strategy that Oda Nobunaga pursues has always been to attack Mino first, and let Nouo become one, so that when the momentum has been established, the move of Shangluo will be carried out.

At present, Oda Nobunaga has attacked Mino for nearly seven years after the battle of Saman. When Mino gradually entered his hands, he made the general Takikawa Kazuyuki, who is familiar with the situation of Ise, attack the home of Kita-Ise Jinbo.

In addition to the three largest families of the Nagano family, the Kobe family, and the Guan family, North Ise also has the "Forty-eight North Ise family".

If a small force like this is to conquer one city, one city, one city, one city, one city, one city, one city, one city, no one knows how long and how long, so after Nobunaga chose to capture Mino, after the power has increased greatly, he will use the general trend to suppress these small and powerful people, and achieve the goal of succumbing to the people without fighting. The effect of soldiers, this is the best choice.

Li Xiao knew that the Oda clan’s attack on Northern Ise in history was only a tentative one. In the second year, Nobunaga preliminarily quelled the forces of Northern Ise with a sweeping force.

In the third year, Nobunaga succeeded in Shangluo, and Nobunaga assembled another 70,000 troops to attack Minami Ise, and Hida Sister Koji, Tosa Ichi family, and was also called the Kitada family of Ise Kuni, one of the Three Kingdoms Division of the Warring States Period.

Finally, the head of the Hojo family, the disciple of Nobuzuna Uizumi, and the brother of Ashikaga Yoshiki Kitada, was forced to accept Nobunaga's second son, Oda Nobuo, as an adopted son. He would inherit the Kita family in the future, and finally the Kita family surrendered to the Oda family.

So far Nobunaga has completed the unification of Ise.

But for Nobunaga, the right way is to take the route of Mino and Omi Shangrao.

As for Omi, Nobunaga has already reached an alliance with Kita Omi Asai's family, faintly forming Oda Asai against Hexagon Saito, the two military alliances.

However, this military alliance has great disparity in power, and the Hexagon family of Nanmi River has long since declined.

In the fourth year of Yongluo, the Rokkaku family fought together before Norada and was defeated by the young leader of the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa. After allowing the other party to become independent, after the turmoil of Kannon Temple in Yongluo for six years, the power of the Rokkaku as a daimyo was greatly reduced. In other words, such powerful retainers as Gyuto Dingxiu raised their heads.

In April of this year, the Rokkaku family united more than 20 retainers in Kasao Tingxiu, together with Rokkaku Yoshiken, the father and son of Rokkaku Yoshiki, to formulate the Hexagon-style objective division law.

The Hexagon-style mee was a uniquely innovative national law during the Warring States period. For example, Takeda Shingen formulated the Koshu law order, as well as the Asakura and Imagawa clan law, which are all based on the identity of the warring states, and set the rules for the rich and common people within the country. The rules are constrained.

On the other hand, the Hexagon-style order was the opposite. It was drafted by the retainers to restrict the power of the main family and guarantee the self-interest of the rich.

The Hexagonal style has also become one of the great wonders of the Warring States Period~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This shows the end of the Hexagonal Family.

If it is Rokkaku Dinglai, the superintendent of the Rokkaku family who once had the greatest power in the world, Quanxia knows that he will definitely curse his children and grandchildren for incompetence when he hears the news, and it will affect the famous name of the Rokkaku family.

After Yokotani Yukishige finished talking about the situation of Omi, Ise, and Mino, Li Xiao had a clearer grasp of the situation in Gujo Hachiman Castle.

It is precisely those who do not seek the overall situation can not find a city. Now that Mino country is about to fall, the declining Hexagon family of Nanomi and the chaos of Ise have given the Oda family a chance to rise.

With Nobunaga's long-term vision, he will inevitably set his first goal in Luo within a short period of time. Therefore, even if Li Xiao captures Gushang Hachiman Castle, he will not be entangled with Li Xiao because of his smallness and losing his big.

After listening to this, Li Xiao ordered Yokotani Yukiko to return to Mino quickly to find out the news. Once Nobunaga entered Mino, Li Xiao sent troops from Hida to attack Kamahachiman Castle in Mino County.
