Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 329 Who belongs to Vietnam?

Sakai Mountain Hachimanhara.

Tens of thousands of troops from the Hojo and Takeda families have been facing each other for nearly a hundred days.

During this period, the two armies sent small-scale military forces and tentatively attacked.

In February, Takeda Shingen once ordered Nobu-kun Anyama, as well as Mr. Kassan, a powerful family of Suruga who had just been subordinate to the Takeda clan, to attack Taimiya Castle on the border of Jiajun.

However, their offensive was resolutely resisted by the lord of Taimiya Castle, Fuji Shintadaka, who received reinforcements from the Hojo clan, and Anyama Shinkun was defeated.

The Hojo Clan guarded the Imperial Palace and faintly threatened the Takeda Clan’s food road.

On the frontal battlefield, Xinxuan and Shi Kang had a tacit understanding with each other and did not initiate a decisive battle without the certainty of a decisive victory.

This long stalemate resembles the five confrontations between Xinxuan and Qianxin on Chuanzhongdao.

On the surface, the turmoil is not enough, but the two companies are secretly planning.

Due to the harmony between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family, the original Kanto League, the Shimosogoku Harita family, the Hitachi country Satake family, and the Abokuni family in the original Kanto League, moved closer to the Takeda family.

At present, the three companies were invited by Takeda Shingen to send troops to the Hojo clan to contain the Hojo clan.

However, Hojo's Kang is not an easy one, he is also good at playing tricks.

Hojo's Yasu secretly and the Tokugawa family who had attacked Imagawa with the Takeda family secretly reached an agreement to attack the Takeda family.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's betrayal of the alliance with the Takeda family also had his reasons.

At the beginning, the Tokugawa Takeda family agreed to divide the Imagawa family evenly with the Oigawa Ontoe as the boundary.

However, the Minami Shinano Corps who was in charge of the attack from Ina County to Toe, the Takeda family Akiyama Nobuyoshi Nashinano Corps clearly overcame the boundary. After Tokugawa Ieyasu protested to Takeda Shingen, the Minami Shinano Corps restrained. A rift between the two alliances.

April.

Hojo's secret contact with the Tokugawa family was passed to Takeda Shingen's ears through spies.

Suddenly Takeda Shingen realized that he might be confronted by the unfavorable situation of Hojo Tokugawa's east-west attack, and Takeda Shingen was also facing a problem, and the army's ration was in danger.

Takeda Shingen held a military meeting overnight with Naito Masaoto, Baba Nobubo and other generals to discuss together.

In the end, Shingen Takeda resolutely made the decision to abandon the Suruga invasion. Except for the remaining troops in Yokoyama Castle, Kuno Castle, and Ejiri Castle in Suruga, the entire army returned to Kai.

Seeing the Takeda army retreat to Kai, taken at Takeda Shingen's prestigious name, Hojo clan Yasushi did not pursue the chase, and instead regained the land of the Imagawa family.

After the agreement between Hojo clan and Tokugawa Ieyasu succeeded, the Tokugawa clan withdrew from the Suruga offensive.

The chief governor of the Imagawa family, the Imagawa clan, moved to live in Tokura Castle in the country of Izu. At the same time, he adopted King Maru, the son of Masaru Hojo clan, as his adopted son.

Since the Imagawa clan really has no offspring, this formally is equivalent to handing over the Imagawa clan's Suruga, Toegawa guardian, to the Hojo clan.

In essence, at this moment, the Imagawa family, who had been entrenched in Suruga for nearly two hundred years, was destroyed and officially withdrew from the ranks of the Sengoku Daimyo.

After this battle, Hojo's Yasushi made a later decision, made plans and then moved, forcing the Takeda family to return to Kai from the territory of the Imagawa family, which is equivalent to annexing Suruga and Toe in one fell swoop.

Therefore, it can be argued that Hojo's Kangxian won the first battle.

However, Shingen Takeda returned with the whole army, and he was not compromised, and he could make a comeback at any time.

May.

Yuezhong, Toyama Castle.

Li Xiao has heard the news that Uesugi Kenshin has officially issued an order for Vietnam to China in the name of the guardian of Echigo to the whole country.

The Uesugi family officially sent troops to Vietnam.

Hearing this news, Li Xiao couldn't help feeling sad.

Historically, it was also at this moment. After Uesugi Kenshin and Hojo Clan reached peace, they ceased to be aggressive in Kanto and Shinano. They only maintained a defensive position on the Ueno country side, and turned to Echichu, Noto, and Fei to the west. Sa, Kaga used troops to get through Hokuriku and Shangluo.

In fact, since the battle on Chuanzhongdao.

Kenshin Uesugi has only won the Ueno half of the country in the battles of Shinano, Kanto and Takeda, and Hojo in the past two decades. This can only be regarded as the legacy of Uesugi Kensei. On the contrary, after going west with all his strength, in just seven years. , But has captured the Three Kingdoms and a half consecutively.

The first is that Kenshin Uesugi completed the reunification of Vietnam and China after Takeda Shingen died of illness.

In the same year, Hida Daimyo turned to Jiangma Fraser, and his sister Lai Tsuna surrendered to Uesugi Kenshin.

Hida country settled down.

Two years later, in the four years of Tianzheng, Uesugi Kenshin succeeded in the strategy of Nanao City. Here, Kenshin made the famous poem of Thirteen Nights. The Shuangman Military Camp has a clear autumn atmosphere. The state can be seen, and Mo's hometown recalls the expedition.

Notokuni succeeded in suppressing.

In the fifth year of Tensho, Kenshin Uesugi went to Luo, and Yu Kaga country defeated the Hokuriku regiment led by Katsura Shibata in Kaga's hand. A few months later Kenshin died of illness.

This is the largest territory in the history of the Uesugi family.

And now Li Xiao is sitting in the middle of Yuezhong, blocking Qianxin's road to Shangluo.

However, Kenshin Uesugi continued along the historical route and opened up the Hokuriku Road to Shangluo, so he must have a deadly battle with Li Xiao.

Either Uesugi Kenshin captures Etchung as the historical trajectory, and has been able to open up the Hokuriku road to Shangluo, or Li Xiao blocks Uesugi Kenshin’s Shangluo trend and gains a firm foothold in Etchung. There are only these two results, and there is no third choice. .

In the big room.

Upon hearing the news that Kenshin Kamesugi had marched into Yuezhong, all the servants of Toyama Castle had arrived and gathered neatly in the Honmaru Castle.

Facing the world’s first general, Bishamon Tianhua took the form of Sugi Kenshin and personally led the army. All the generals at the scene followed Li Xiao and fought all over Hida, Mino, and Yuezhong, the battle-tested generals at this moment. Can't help but feel anxious.

Yokotani Yoshiki, who served as the intelligence gathering of this time, said: "The front line of the Uesugi family is Uesugi Keikai and Ueda, led by Yoshie Shiken. They have crossed the natural dangers at the border of Etchi, China and Echigo. They are now taking a break. I want to come is the main force of the Echigo Army who is waiting for Uesugi Teru to rate him."

Hearing Uesugi Keikatsu's name, Usa Mina, who was sitting among the retainers, frowned slightly.

Uesugi Keikai is the adopted son of Uesugi Kenshin. His biological father is the man named Nagao Masakei who drowned in Nojiri Pond who was appointed by his father Usami.

If things have changed in the world, if it weren't what happened at the beginning, I have now married into Nagao's family and become a woman.

Usami Nami was slightly lost.

At this time, Fujido Takaho, who was sitting next to her, asked: "Uesugi has been standing still, I don't know where is the next goal?"

"At Matsakura Castle" Usami Nami said without hesitation: "Uesugi Kenshin wants to capture Etsuchu, Shiina must be the first to bear the brunt, and Matsakura Castle is the key to Echigo Echigo. The foundation of Shiina is the largest west of Jinzugawa A city, so Uesugi Huihu must take this city."

Li Xiao folded his hands on his chest and looked out the window, listening to Usami Nami's words, then turned around.

Seeing what Usami Nami looked like at the moment, Li Xiao knew in his heart, and said: "Shengxing, you have been in the Uesugi family for many years, and the Uesugi family has a good grasp of the situation in the Echigo family, so this military meeting is based on you. Let’s speak up."

When Usami Nami saw Li Xiao staring directly at her, her heart was clear, and she nodded sternly.

During the military discussion, Li Xiao's retainers asked Usami Nami about the usual tactics used by the Uesugi army, and the characteristics of the generals of the Uesugi family.

And Usami Nami also changed her usual passive attitude of not doing work when she was under Li Xiao, and she truthfully stated everything she knew about the Uesugi family.

In his words, Usami Nami truthfully stated Uesugi's strengths and weaknesses relatively objectively, without exaggerating or demeaning.

After hearing this, the audience nodded and obviously benefited a lot.

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked Usami Nami: "Shengyu, according to your estimation, without the cooperation of our army, how long can Shiina clan defend against Uesugi clan based on Matsakura Castle?"

Usami Nami said without hesitation: "I am not optimistic about Shiina, at most it will not be more than three months."

When Usami Nami said this, everyone was astonished, but among the retainers, such as the long stay of the gods, and the appointment of Terashima, the more heavier the water, the retainers of the former gods' clan showed their approval.

Everyone knows that Songcang Castle is one of the three major mountain towns in Vietnam. There are also a series of sub-city clusters around Uozu Castle, Mizuo Castle, Kitayama Castle, Kosuganuma Castle, Shokata Castle, Tsubono Castle, and Tenjinshan Castle.

With the Shishi master's 100,000-stone-class master's power, plus Matsukura Jinshan, the maximum military mobilization force is also between 4,000 and 5,000, so it can't stop the Uesugi family's army for three months.

Although everyone was astonished, they all agreed with Usami Nami's views in the end.

Hearing the conclusion, everyone couldn't help but a trace of sadness surged across their faces.

Once Shiina's family was destroyed, it was Li Xiao's turn to face Uesugi Kenshin's Echigo army head-on. If bad luck, the Takeda army's defense line in Yuezhong would be difficult to support even this year.

Li Xiao clasped his palms together and said, "Since Shiina can't independently support Uesugi army, then we can't sit back and watch, Shiina clan perishes. Although I don't like Shiina Kangyin very much, but at this moment I have to say that he trusted Uesugi Teruto. I’m lucky, otherwise I will definitely die."

Hearing that Li Xiao said, all the generals' faces were smiling ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In that case, all the generals will go down to prepare for the battle, and soon, I will issue a mobilization order. According to the military service certificate, lead the troops to meet in Toyama City. "

"Oh"

Hearing that Li Xiao said that, the generals all stepped back, but there were still concerns about future war with Uesugi on their faces.

After everyone left, Usami Nami stayed, looked at Li Xiao in thought, and asked, "My lord, are you sure? Uesugi Teruho is determined to win over Yuezhong this time. If we are not sure, we might as well retreat and fly. Xi, tomorrow..."

Li Xiao heard Usami Nami say this, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, I have a plan to deal with it."

Usami Nami listened to Li Xiao as if she was confident, her face was slightly relieved, and she immediately stepped back.

After Usami Nami left, Li Xiao thought for a while, and then ordered to take out the paper and pen.

Li Xiao immediately immersed himself in writing a letter to Takeda Shingen. . ..
