Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 488: New Front?

Faced with Naito Ruan's sudden words like this, Tsuna Araki's body was shocked, and he repeated the question: "Do you ask Takeda for help?"

Naito Ruan nodded slightly, expressing that this was the intention.

Tsuna Araki condensed his eyes for a while, and said: "Unexpectedly, the Hida Yuezhong Army of the Takeda Family, I have heard that the retired Patriarch Li Xiao is Duke Shingen. After Chou Kang, Kanto compares In the battle of Kanshinga, the famous general, Nagasino, even the evil thief Nobunaga was killed in his hands."

"However, Li Xiao has retired," Araki Tsunai said, "In the past two years, the Hida Corps and Shibata Katsumi have been fighting for the Hokuriku Doctrine, and the battle is at a disadvantage. At present, the Li family's power is based. In Northland, I am afraid that it is too much to get involved in Wakasa."

Naito Ruan smiled and said, "Master Araki, it's wrong. Wasn't Wakasa country also in Hokuriku?"

Seeing Naito Ruan's catching his little speech, Tsuna Araki couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He straightened up and said: "Hida Shou, although he has been fighting in Tamba, until the situation in Hokuriku, Shibata Corps and I have also studied the battle of the Li Army."

After a pause, the Araki Tsuna said: "Now Shibata's main force is confronting Takeda and the Yisongzong coalition forces in Kaga, and the Takeda army is at a disadvantage. Therefore, there are still enough naval forces to detour and attack Wakasa's rear. This is purely It’s impossible to stay here for a long time with a one-shot tactic. It’s absolutely impossible for Naito-sama to expect the Takeda Army to open up a new front in Wakasa.”

After hearing what Araki Tsuna said, Naito sighed, and said: "Why don't you know mine, but when this happens, I can only give it a try."

"Except for the Li family, no one can save the Tamba country. Lord Araki, I am willing to ask Takeda for support on the terms of being subordinate to Takeda."

After hearing Naito Ruan's words, Tsuna shook his body and said: "Naito Hida is guarded by Tamba, and Naito's family is the guardian of Tamba. You are here to guard for a hundred years. Are you really willing to give up everything and belong to Takeda."

Naito Ruan nodded resolutely and said, "Yes, there is no other way except that."

Looking at Naito Ruan’s expression, Tsuna Araki shook his head and said, “I cannot follow the example of Naito’s subordinate Takeda family from the Hatano family, but you’re right. You have to give it a try. Akechi Mitsuhide came to take Tamba country this time. It is to get rid of all those who do not follow, and to take this place as a direct leader."

"So even if my Hatano family fights until the last soldier, I will fight to the end! Hida Shou, let's say goodbye!"

After saying that Tsuna Araki strode out of the castle tower, Naito Ruan slowly said, "Master Araki, take care!"

After the Araki Tsuna walks far.

The castle tower was empty, and only Naito Ruan was left.

Naito Ruan understands that Tsuna Araki still has room to speak just now, and his spare power is Changji, the Daimyobetsu of Higashiharima country.

Betsano Changji is the son-in-law of Hatano Hideji, the governor of the Hatano family, and the two have formed an alliance.

As far as Naito Ryan knows, Changzhi Bessho has been slandering the Oda family and ordered him to attack the Maori family. He has long been rebellious. Therefore, the two families are in a row, and they may not have the strength to resist the wise legion.

However, Harima country is not. Changzhi is the only one who has the final say.

The Kodera family of Nishiharima had already subjugated the Oda family, and Hashiba Hideyoshi was greeted by the Kodera family’s old Kuroda Takataka, and led the Kita Omi Army into Harima country as the front line of the Oda family’s resistance to the Mori family.

If Besso Changzhi reverses, Hashiba Hideyoshi will be cut off and will inevitably counterattack. At that time, Hatano and Besso's two alliances will be attacked by the two major armies of Oda, and the situation will not be a hundred times worse than it is now.

Naito Ruan squeezed the cross in front of him, slowly meditating, and suddenly the light on the candlestick exploded slightly.

Naito Ruan's eyes flashed, with a resolute color in his eyes, and said: "I come here to prepare paper and pen, and prepare to be quick. After my letter is written, I will immediately send it to Mount Tase."

"Oh!"

After Naito Ruan finished writing quickly, he stamped his seal and printed a monogram, and attached the Naito family military service account book, and put it in an envelope together.

Immediately Naito Ruan ordered a confidant to rush to Mount Tase in Wakasa country under the guard of ten samurai.

The night falls, and beyond the starfields, there are waves of pines.

Naito Ruan stood in front of the pane, watching more than a dozen rides on a fast horse to go out at Maru Otemon, and drew a cross on his chest, secretly saying in his heart: "May the Lord bless, the hope of Tanba country lies here. Amen!"

The envoy who set off from Naito's house, bearing the burden of the lord, did not dare to neglect in the slightest, and galloped towards Mt.

At this time, it was the second day that the Takeda family had captured Mount Tase.

Among the castle towers of Mount Tase, this is also the place where the defender of the castle Kotobe Jiande, who cut his belly at the end.

Now this time the troops are dispatched, several generals in charge of the Hida Etsuzhong Corps who attacked Wakasa are all gathered here to discuss the next move.

They are the general of the navy, Masatsuna Mukai, Sunhei Chiga, the bow of the Ming Dynasty Marine Merchant, Wang Tanzhi, and Yui Mutou in Wakasa Takeda, and more than a dozen generals.

At this moment, a waterman who was holding a rib, walked into the castle tower and reported to Mukai Masatsuna: "Report to the bow of the ship. There is an envoy from the Fuji family in Tanba outside."

"Tamba country? The Naito family?"

Hearing this name, all the ship generals were at a loss, and some even didn't even know where the Tamba country was. As for the Naito family, no one knew.

Masatsu Mukai knew a thing or two, and said, "Naito family is the guardian of the Tamba country, isn't it? Lord Muto."

Hearing Mutoi's words, everyone turned their attention to the local indigenous Muto Yukichi.

Muto Yui nodded slightly and said, "Exactly."

After a pause, Muto Yukichi added another sentence, saying: "The main castle of the Naito family is not far from Mount Tase. I heard that the Oda family's general Mitsuhide has been aggressive in Tanba recently, so the Naito family's envoy here must be related to this. "

As the elder of the Takeda family, Mutoh is worthy of knowing the situation around Wakasa and guessing the messenger's coming.

After the messenger from the Naito family came in, everything was as Muto Yuji said, the Naito family sought help from the Takeda family, and they were willing to surrender and be subordinate.

Hearing that the Naito family, a daimyo of Tamba Kuni, was about to subdue his family, all the bows present were surprised.

After the messenger retreated, Mukai Masazu said to everyone: "I'm here to attack Mt. Tase. I just flanked behind the Shibata Corps, but he didn't plan to get a foothold here."

Taga Chibei also said: "Yes, our navy's tactics have always been to run after landing and looting. They will never get entangled on the land. They will establish a foothold in Wakasa country. If the Shibata army returns, let us It is really the next strategy for the navy to fight on the ground."

Mukai Masazu, Taga Chibei's words, immediately made the bows of all the ships nodded. In other words, the naval forces wanted to land warfare as a guerrilla formation, and harassment and harassment would be fine. It's really hard.

But at this time, Muto Yukichi said: "I don’t think so, everyone, I Wakasa Takeda still has power in Wakasa country, if we mobilize one or two, there will be many people from the country who will respond, let alone we occupy this place, Tase. In Shancheng, the house governor is also the local guardian. This call is bound to be responded to by the people, and it is not without a foundation."

At the same time, Wang Tanzhi's eyes turned around and said: "If it is the next best thing to attack the city, it will definitely not work, but Dase Mountain Castle is close to the sea. With the strength of our maritime merchants and navy forces, it is enough to defend. , To ensure the supplement of the garrison for the defenders and the support of the naval guns. If the Shibata army wants to attack Mount Tase, we cooperate with ships, and it may not be possible for the Shibata army to succeed."

In fact, Wang Tanzhi thought of the famous Obama-no-cho under Tase Mountain Castle, which has always been an important seaport passage near Kinki, and it can also travel with North Korea.

If Mingguo Marine Merchants were here to follow the example of Noto and Yuezhong, and then open a supply base, then it would be a great disadvantage to the route and trade.

After all the people at the scene discussed it, they did not come up with a decision. The opinions of Masatuna Mutoi and the navy were not inclined to stand here, and Yuji Muto expressed support for his ambition to rejuvenate the former leader of Wakasa country, and Wang Tanzhi was out of consideration for the interests of businessmen, and he also agreed.

Finally, as the person in charge of this raid on Wakasa country, Mukai Masazu made a decision: "Stop arguing. It is the young master and the retainers who have agreed to determine the direction of our army in Wakasa country. We can share our opinions on this. The comments of the Tsinaito family’s return were written down and attached to the letter and forwarded to the young master for their reference. In the end, the Highness and the Retainer Group will negotiate and decide the direction of the strategy."

After listening to Mukai Masazu, everyone said it was meaningless. At the moment, everyone wanted to write their opinions in the letter. Together with the Naito family’s messenger, the next morning, they would take a boat with the fastest speed and rush to Canada. Heh.

Kaga, Oyama Gobo.

Oyama Gobo has always been the home of the Kaga Ichijo Sect.

Yixiangzong has been operating in Kaga for many years. Standing in the tallest Buddhist hall, countless monastic rooms, Buddhist halls, and temples are located during the period.

This is the most prosperous place in the Hokuriku Hassan Buddhism Kingdom, and it is even larger than the scale of the Yuezhong Tushan imperial palace.

At the same time, as the city of Pingshan, a large number of fortifications such as arrow sculls, stone walls, trenches, etc. have also been built to strengthen defenses.

The monks and soldiers guarded this day and night. Monk Yixiangzong held the Buddhist scriptures in one hand and the naginata in the other, leaving a deep impression on people.

Right now because of Shibata's army pressure, the faces of monks and soldiers in the Oyama imperial palace are all showing dignity, and ordinary believers and disciples are also worried.

The war in Kaga has been fought for two years, and Shibata Katsumi has played in Kaga five times before, winning all of them and killing the local corpses.

Now the southernmost Kanuma County of Kaga has been annexed by the Shibata Army.

Kaga has always been defeated, and only with the support of the Takeda Army Hida Yuezhong Legion, can barely maintain the battle.

Shibata Katsura is now out of Kaga with 35,000 troops for the sixth time, and the support corps of Takeda Army has also arrived, and the main formation is deployed in Oyama Gobo.

Now landing from Kaga Hashidate Port, an envoy from the Tamba country rushed to Oyama Gobo without stopping.
