Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 316 Three-way Attack

At the head of Chengshengcheng.

Li Xiao used a single-eyed telescope to look at the Uesugi Army's army a few miles outside the city, and waited until he saw Uesugi Kenshin's flag.

Li Xiao's pupils shrank coldly, and then there was a panic in his heart. Kenshin Uesugi's flashing speed was too fast, and after a while, Ranwen Novel.com, he was wrapped up outside the city by the other party.

Li Xiao has another understanding of the horror of Uesugi Ken's credibility soldier.

However, seeing Uesugi's army lingering outside the city, Li Xiao couldn't help but speculate. If Uesugi Qianxin launched a ruthless army and mobilized Echigo's army to attack his city-born city, he would be uncomfortable for a while.

Just as Li Xiao was worried, Yokotani Yukiki hurriedly boarded the tower and submitted a secret letter to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao opened the letter and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Honjo Fanchang finally rebelled.

Li Xiao looked at the Echigo army outside the city, thinking that if the village was prosperous, then Uesugi Kenshin would not dare to attack the city, I am afraid that even Yuezhong could not stay for long.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile.

Ken Uesugi believes that I will see what you do.

Yonglu eleven years.

In order to prepare for the decisive battle with the Imagawa family, the Takeda family began to look for a strategic alliance.

First of all, the Takeda family made a final effort to restore the alliance relationship with the Hojo family. Shingen discussed with the head of the Hojo family and his son-in-law, the Hojo family's politics, and jointly took the proposal of Imagawa to divide Suruga and Toe.

But this proposal was rejected by the Hojo family.

The reason given by the Hojo family is that they will never break the alliance with perfidy.

The relationship between the Hojo Imagawa family is very deep. From the time Hojo Soun was renamed Ise Shinkuro, his sister Kitagawa-den married the guardian of Suruga at the time, Imagawa Yoshitada, as the main family.

At that time, Ise Shinkuro’s father, Ise Morita, was already the shogunate Shinji, so his daughter was married to the guardian daimyo Imagawa Yoshitada, and this marriage was considered a good match.

Soon after Beichuan Hall married into the Imagawa family, he gave birth to the Imagawa family, who was later the seventh-generation head of the Imagawa family, and the governor of the Imagawa family who has done a lot in history.

When Hojo Soun established the foundation, he took the lead in capturing the Izu country. The history is called Izu Sujin. Hojo Soun once borrowed soldiers from his nephew, Imagawa, and finally took possession of the Izu country.

Thus, it created the foundation of the Hojo family after Kanto for nearly a hundred years.

In the following decades, although the Hojo family and the Imagawa family turned their faces and met each other in battle, in general, the kinship between the two families must be more advanced than that of Takeda.

When the Three Kingdoms Alliance was reached, Hojo clan Yasushi married his daughter Hayakawa Den to Imagawa clan head Madam Imakawa.

After the Hojo clan rejected the Takeda clan's suggestion to divide the Imagawa clan, Takeda Shingen's final efforts to the Hojo clan failed.

So Shingen Takeda turned to the Tokugawa family, who had completed the unification of the three rivers, and discussed the division of the Imagawa family.

Shingen Takeda dispatched Nobun-kun Anyama as an emissary to discuss with the Tokugawa family chief Taduji Sakai, and the two finally reached an agreement.

With Oigawa in the Far River as the boundary, Oigawa returned to the Tokugawa family from the west, and Oigawa returned to the Takeda family from the east, the two reached an agreement to divide the Imagawa family.

In addition to actively conspiring to attack Imagawa's home in the south, Shingen Takeda is not merciful to his mortal enemy Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda in the north.

In the eleventh year of Yonglu, in May, Shingen Takeda succeeded in instigating a rebellion against Shingen.

Honjo Shige-cho sent a letter to Fujisuke Nakajo and Katsura Ikube, hoping that the other party would follow him and betray the Uesugi family, but was rejected.

However, the Honjo Prosperity is already iron-hearted at this moment, and decided to walk to the dark one by one. Honjo Prosperity combined with the lord of Dewa Country Oura, and Daiho Temple Yoshizusa became independent from the Uesugi family together.

After Shingen Takeda succeeded in overcoming the prosperous Honjo, he immediately ordered Masanobu Takasaka of the North Shinano Army to send troops from Kaizu Castle to attack the Iiyama Castle of Masarai Takanashi, the retainer of the Uesugi family.

Iiyama Castle was captured once by the Takeda family in 1557, and in 1564, out of consideration of the threat to the Takasaka Masanobu Corps on Chuanaka Island, Uesugi Kenshin ordered Takanashi to rebuild it again. city.

Iiyama Castle used this as a support point for Oshinano's defense.

This offensive lasted for July. Although Masanobu Takasaka failed to conquer Iiyama Castle in history, he also took his branch, Upper Tibet City.

In addition to Takasaka Masanobu's support, Takeda Shingen also ordered Li Xiao's Hida Yuezhong Army to attack Yuezhong with all its strength in response to Honjo's prosperous uprising in Yangbei.

Historically, this task was completed by the horse farm letter room, and Jiangma Shisheng attacked Yuezhong to complete it. After that, the Shiina family joined one after another, forming a situation where the four forces besieged the Jinbao family.

However, because of the rivalry between the Takeda family and the Hojo family, Hojo and Uesugi are also secretly communicating with each other, causing the Nishi-Ueno Army to guard against the Hojo family's forces in the Musashi country and guard Minowa Castle, so it was temporarily unable to move.

Therefore, the right-wing offensive can only be executed by the prosperous village.

After Honjo prosperously erected the anti-flag, he did not hesitate to take advantage of Uesugi Kenshin's body to attack Yixiangzong in Yuezhong, and he led an army to attack Ayukawa Castle, shaking Uesugi Kenshin's foundation in Echigo.

However, the West Ueno Army's failure to participate in the war, and the control of Imagawa's family in the south, made Xinxuan's three-way fight in this move a little eclipsed.

This is also the first and only time in history that Takeda Shingen has completed his grand strategy to encircle Echigo on three sides, attacking on three sides, and killing the dragon.

After that, Shingen spent his entire life and never had such a large-scale battle with the Uesugi family.

From 1553 in the 22nd year of Astronomy, Shingen and Kenshin met for the first time on Chuanzhong Island. These two well-matched opponents have been fighting for 16 years.

Therefore, in history, everyone only remembers the five Kawanakajima duels, one dragon and one tiger, and Takeda Shingen's exquisite strategy to win by strategy was not realized because it was not realized.

But even so, the eleventh year of Yongluo is by no means a good year for Uesugi Kenshin.

Had it not been for the easing of relations with the Hojo family, Uesugi Kenshin faced a worsening situation in this year than in the ten years of Yongluo.

Li Xiao knows very well about Uesugi Kenshin’s current dilemma ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Li Xiao knows that this year is the best time for him to attack the middle school, otherwise let Uesugi Kenshin take his breath and calm down Echigo Honjo. Long rebellion, calmly freed up.

At that time, not only Yuezhong, but even Nohtoguk, would be flattened by Uesugi Kenshin as in history, and won in one fell swoop. At that time, no one can resist Uesugi Kenshin's forward.

In this way, not only did Li Xiao never make her head out, but in the future, in Hida Etsuzhong, facing Uesugi Kenshin independently, it is also difficult for herself to protect herself.

Whether you can get ahead in Yuezhong depends on this year.

Li Xiao thought so, and was thinking about how to attack Yuezhong Shi.

At this time, outside the city of Chengsheng, Uesugi Kenshin had camped in place.

As the generals such as Keizuna Naoe led the main force from the rear, only a few trusted generals such as Uesugi Kenshin were in the camp.

In the face of Kawada Nagao, Nagao Keizao, and Tang dynasty, Kenshin Uesugi considered for a while and resolutely said: "I decided not to return to Echigo immediately to rebel." ..
