different warring states of japan

Chapter 1524

Yi Yin sighed.

"Whoever is not merciful is a matter for the future. The most important thing now is to defeat the Oda family and maintain the justice and order of the Samurai world."

Kosaka Masanobu said solemnly.

"His Highness Oda acted against the law, and everyone inside and outside the shogunate dared not speak out. All the samurai families in the world are looking forward to it, expecting Jin Daden to uphold justice and reshape the samurai principles.

His Highness Takeda secretly dispatched ninjutsu to Kyoto to send a message, asking me to convey her respect and guilt to you, and said that the Takeda family would never stand by at this critical moment that is related to the prosperity of the Wu family. "

Yiyin narrowed his eyes.

"What does His Highness Takeda want to do?"

On the grounds that Oda Nobunaga broke the boundaries of commoner samurai families and infringed on the interests of samurai families, Yoshihiro sent letters with the four characters of samurai world to the Kanto daimyo, firmly grasping the banner of Dayi.

From the perspective of the interests of the entire ruling class, the Shiba family indeed occupies the absolute commanding heights of public opinion in this Shiba Oda battle.

Whether it is the center of the shogunate or a local daimyo, as long as he is a member of the samurai group, he cannot deny the righteousness of Yiyin.

But righteousness is righteousness, and in the final analysis, this world still depends on strength.

In Yoshihiro's plan, the three domains of Tokaido are mutually restrictive, and it is almost impossible for Takeda, Hojo, and Tokugawa to participate in the battle of Shiba Oda.

Especially Takeda Shingen Shangluo, who beat Tokugawa Ieyasu everywhere in Mikatahara. The Tokugawa family will not allow the Takeda family to pass through their territory again, and they will definitely stop it for their own benefit.

And the Hojo family occupied Sunto County, which made the Takeda family's rule in the Suruga country missing. Although the Suruga people were frightened by Takeda Shingen's butcher knife, they did not dare to move, but the hearts of the people have already dispersed.

Under the double-teaming of the Tokugawa and Hojo families, Takeda Shingen still wanted to get involved in the battle of Shiba Oda, but he was powerless.

Yoshihiro was also curious, where is Takeda Shingen going to start?

Kosaka Masanobu said.

"Zinda Temple, Mino Kingdom and Shinano Kingdom are connected."

Yiyin's pupils shrank.

"His Highness Takeda wants to send troops from Zhongshan Road? That's impossible."

Shinano Kingdom is located in the center of Honshu Island. It has borders with Ueno, Musashi, Kai, Suruga, Mikawa, Toe, Mino, Hida, Etchu, and Echigo.

Shinano country seems to be a strategic highland that can attack everywhere, but it has a serious flaw, that is, this mountainous area is the center of the volcanic island of Honshu.

In other words, the island was able to emerge from the middle of the sea because it relied on the volcanoes in the Shinano area to force its way upwards.

Although a large number of active volcanoes have gradually died down after long-term geological changes, the local area has formed a large number of geographical features of plateaus and mountains, with rugged mountain roads and few plains.

There are many mountains and few fields, which means that not much food can be grown, and it also means that business is difficult. In the final analysis, it is a poor word.

There has never been an army that can gather a large number of troops to attack from the Shinano country, because logistics alone can wear down the army.

To put it bluntly, Takeda Shingen couldn't afford it.Her family didn't occupy the entire Guanbazhou land, and there was so much food that they couldn't finish it, so how could they afford the logistics supply line running through the mountainous area.

Therefore, the last time Takeda Shingen went to Los Angeles, he chose to take the plains of the Tokaido and invade the Enjiang country.

And Oda Nobunaga is not unwarranted of the Takeda family, and the important towns of East Mino on the border with the Shinano state have always been strictly on guard.

Takeda Shingen wanted to go to Mino country through Shinano country, first of all, he had to solve the logistics line of the army, which was already very difficult for the relatively poor Takeda family.

Secondly, even if the Takeda family solves the supply problem, the important pass towns established by the mountains on the border of East Mino will be hard nuts for the Takeda army to crack.

If the important pass town belonging to the Oda family cannot be captured, the Takeda army will not be able to invade the Nobi Plain, and the threat to the Oda family will not be worth mentioning.

On the other hand, the marching route of the Takeda family happened to be the mountainous area in the northern part of the Enjiang Sanhe Ryogoku, and they entered the Mino country along the mountain.

Can Tokugawa Ieyasu watch as Takeda Shingen walks casually on his head?
Not to mention that Oda Nobunaga will inevitably ask Tokugawa Ieyasu, an ally, to guard his flanks. Even without Oda Nobunaga's request, Tokugawa Ieyasu will not stand idly by.

Because the Takeda army can turn their guns at any time, along the northern mountainous areas of the Yuanjiang Sanhe and the two countries, condescendingly enter the plains of the two countries.

How could Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had already been beaten by Takeda Shingen once, not be vigilant?If Takeda Shingen was playing Mingxiu plank road and secretly hiding Chen Cang, wouldn't he be very dangerous?

Therefore, when he heard that Takeda Shingen was going to the Shinano country to attack Tomino, Yoshihiro frowned and didn't quite believe it.

"His Highness Takeda is sure?"

Masanobu Kosaka approached Yoshigin and whispered.

"The Toyama family of Iwamura Castle secretly submitted a letter of allegiance to His Highness Takeda, and opened the door to offer the city as soon as Takeda's army arrived.

His Highness Takeda has ordered Baba Nobuharu to mobilize [-] elites to go to Kiso Valley for the winter.

Only in the next few battles next year, [-] cavalry will break into Dongminong, take Iwamura Castle, and share the pressure for Jindadian. "

Shiba Yoshigin stared at Kosaka Masanobu with his eyes wide open, and it took him a while to recover.

"Your Highness Takeda, you are really good at it."

Takeda Shingen likes Sun Tzu's art of war, and he pays attention to planning before making a move. Often the army has not moved, and the insidious moves outside the plate have been used one after another.

Back then, Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Kenshin fought against Kawanakajima together, but they had tasted the power of this combination boxing carefully.

That is to say, the Echigo samurai group was extremely ferocious, and they just used their strength and skill to kill a bloody river in the Kawanakajima battle, and both sides suffered losses.

If you were an ordinary samurai, you would be overwhelmed by Takeda Shingen's series of backstabs before the battle started, and you would lose half of it before you fight.

This time, Takeda Shingen was also strategizing, and started the layout before sending out troops.

The Nobi Plain is the core territory of Oda Nobunaga, and there is no room for any mistakes.The mountainous areas in the east and north of Mino are the important lines of defense for protecting the Nobi Plain.

The Maeda Toshiie in the northern part of Mino had made it clear that the chariots and horses would fight to the end, and even sent away the husbands and heirs of the retainers, preparing to fight to the death with the Oda family and fight to the death.

But if there is trouble in the county, Maeda Toshiie only has [-] shi of territory in his hands. As long as Oda Nobunaga sends people to strictly guard the pass and lock her in the northern mountainous area, he can deal with her after the war.

However, if Iwamura Castle, which guards the direction of Shinano, falls, a huge gap will appear in the east of Mino, and the Takeda Army can rush into the Nobi Plains of the Owari Mino two countries to harass at any time.

The army is out and the rear is unstable, which is a taboo for military strategists.

In addition, Maeda Toshiie in the north will not miss this opportunity, and the northern mountains in the east of Mino echo each other, threatening the Nobi Plain together, and Oda Nobunaga will be in big trouble.

Yoshihiro believed in Kosaka Masanobu's words, and Takeda Shingen sent 800 Baba Nobuharu to defend Iwamura Castle, which was willing to dedicate the city. It is probably true.

Baba Nobuharu is Takeda Shingen's confidant, the leader of the Banner Clan, and the [-] riders she brought must be the elite of the Banner Clan.

Although the Zhongshan Road is difficult to walk, if it is only to support the logistical supplies of 800 people, the Takeda family can still afford it.

The most important thing is that these 800 people can stick to the city, and the natural moat of the mountain city is enough to stop the army of ten thousand people, so there is nothing they can do for a while.

As long as Iwamura Castle is not lost, it will be a nail piercing Oda Nobunaga's back like a thorn, and he must find a way to pull it out.

Baba Nobuharu didn't even need to do anything, she just squatted down in Iwamura Castle, and Oda Nobunaga would feel like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't sleep or eat.

Most of the plains of Mino country are in the central and western part, connecting with Owari country.The mountains in the eastern part of the north are condescending, putting too much pressure on the Noongwei Plain.

Oda Nobunaga transferred the Owari Mino and the two countries' forces to Kita Omi to start a war with Shiba Yoshiyin. Any disturbance in the Nobi Plains would cause turmoil in the army.

Takeda Shingen made a great contribution with a small amount of effort. A small stone thrown into the big pool in the Nobi Plain can cause waves of waves.

It didn't take much effort for the Takeda family to share Yiyin's pressure on the frontal battlefield and make him have to take care of it.

As for Oda Nobunaga's anger?The last time Takeda went to Luo, the Oda family and the Takeda family had already torn apart, so what if the relationship between the two parties was even worse?

Takeda Shingen sent his daughter to Shiba's side, and the future of the Takeda family rested on Yoshigin's love for this child.

She will not allow Yiyin to fail, let alone allow her daughter to fall out of favor.

How to use the limited strength of the Takeda family to assist the Shiba family and bring the relationship between the Shiba and Takeda families closer is the most urgent thing Takeda Shingen needs to do now.

Yoshigin is also amazed at Takeda Shingen's ability to play tricks under the double-team of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hojo Ujimasa, he said.

"His Highness Takeda has tried his best to share the burden for me. I don't know what to ask for?"

Kosaka Masanobu bowed and said.

"The Kai Takeda family is a famous family of Genji in Hanoi. Oda Nobunaga perverted ethics and bullied the shogunate. His Highness Takeda is filled with righteous indignation and is willing to contribute his own strength to the samurai world."

Yoshigin smiled and hugged Takeda Yoshinobu in his arms.The father and daughter sat on the porch and looked at the three snowmen in the courtyard together.

Kosaka Masanobu's face was burning hot, and there was no outsider here, so why did she sing high-profile, but it seemed that the Takeda family was not sincere enough.

She leaned closer again and spoke sincerely.

"His Highness Takeda hopes that Jindadian can allow the Takeda family to enter the Kanto Chamber after the war, and contribute to Jindadian's great cause and the restoration of order in the Wu family world."

Yoshigin frowned. After the Hojo Clan Administration and Uesugi Kenshin, will Takeda Shingen also enter the Kanto Office?
Uesugi, Hojo, Takeda, the three rivals, are they planning to open a new mahjong table in the Kanto Office, and continue playing with Yoshihiro?
But if you think about it carefully, Takeda Shingen's choice is also reasonable and not surprising.

Since the failure of Takeda Shangluo, Takeda Shingen has become the target of public criticism because of Yantian Castle's robbery of Yiyin seeds. The Takeda family can continue to live until now, all because of Takeda Yoshinobu's good boy.

Outsiders don't know that Yiyin's male superior Sanguan doesn't care about the crimes committed by Takeda Shingen, so he regards Yiyin's tolerance as a pity for his daughter.

Even Takeda Shingen himself probably considered this way.

Yiyin has now embarked on the divine way, and his reputation will only increase in the future.On the contrary, the crimes that Takeda Shingen once committed in Yantian City will become more and more serious.

Takeda Shingen's tuba is useless in practice, and the only hope of the Takeda family is to open another trumpet, and Takeda Shingen's tuba hides behind to play support.Yes, the trumpet is Takeda Yoshinobu.

With the transformation of the Takeda family's strategic thinking, continuing to maintain their own independence has become an unnecessary risk. It is the best choice for the Takeda family to completely fall to the Shiba family.

Takeda Shingen wanted to enter the Kanto Servant, also out of this consideration, hoping to integrate into the Kanto Servant system headed by Yoshiyin.

The Kanto hegemony, Hojo Shiyasu's old Kanto system, and Uesugi Kenshin's new Kanto system have in fact all failed.

However, Yoshihiro Shiba, centered on the Grand Review and Standing Council of the Kanto Chamber of Commerce, reproduced the co-governance of the royal family of the Kamakura Shogunate in those days, but came from behind and flourished.

He advocated Shiba's new ideas of peaceful development, and found a new path for the exhausted Kanbashu samurai family after a century of turmoil.

It is much more beneficial for Takeda Shingen to choose to join the emerging Kanto servant system than to be plotted against outside.

As for the struggle within the system, whether it is Uesugi Kenshin, a reckless woman who is faster than her brain, or Hojo Ujimasa, a young junior, Takeda Shingen is not afraid.

Shiba Yoshigin is still weighing the pros and cons of Takeda Shingen's entry into the Kanto servant system, and Kosaka Masanobu has already begun to present the facts and reason, trying to convince him.

"Jin Duodian established the Guandong Servant Office to win over the martial arts in the Guandong for the sake of peace in the land of the Guandong.

The Takeda family of Kai was born in a famous family, and the country of Kai was listed as one of the ten countries in the Kanto region. His Highness Takeda was entrusted with the guardianship of the two countries of Kai and Shinano, guarding one side.

According to the rules of the Guandong Chamberlain, His Highness Takeda is eligible to join the Grand Council. "

Yoshigin glanced at Kosaka Masanobu and said.

"His Highness Takeda is the guardian of the two kingdoms of Kai and Shinano, but she now occupies the land of the Three Kingdoms. Don't forget, the Imagawa clan, the guardian of the Suruga Kingdom, is also appointed by the shogunate."

Kosaka Masanobu said decisively.

"His Highness Takeda said that if Jindadian wants her to withdraw from the Suruga Kingdom, the Takeda family can withdraw at any time and will never disappoint Jindadian."

Yi Yin raised his eyebrows.

Takeda Shingen was even willing to let go of the Suruga country, which he had so hard to take, in order to enter the Kanto Servant.

One must know that Suruga Country's most important thing is not only the territory of 30 to [-] koku, but more importantly, the trade routes of the Tokaido and the salt fields along the coast.

Koshin Mountain is short of salt, and lacks the necessities of life. If Takeda Shingen returns to the mountain, it is tantamount to handing back the tools used by the samurai family of Koshin Mountain to Yi Yin.

Whether it's Uesugi Kenshin in the north or the Hojo clan in the south, will they cut off necessities such as salt, cloth and iron in the Koshin Mountains? Isn't it up to Yoshihiko who controls the Kanto Chamber?
When Takeda Shingen said this, he was indeed full of sincerity, and Yoshihiro couldn't be more hypocritical.

He touched Takeda Yoshinobu's small head and said.

"I'm too lazy to take care of those bad debts in the Suruga country.

The Kanto Servant has always opened its doors to the Kanto Wu family. If His Highness Takeda sincerely joins, I believe the Great Review will also welcome her. "

Kosaka Masanobu's eyes showed joy, Yoshigin finally reconciled with each other, and did not force the Takeda family to give up the Suruga country, and really helped the Imagawa clan to seek justice.

Although the Imagawa family is also from the Ashikaga family, Yoshigin has nothing to do with the Imagawa family, so why bother to stand up for the Imagawa family?
On the contrary, everything in the Takeda family will be inherited by Takeda Yoshinobu in the future, how could Yoshinobu give up his child's territory for the sake of outsiders.

If Takeda Shingen has the ability to defend the Suruga Kingdom, Yoshinobu would be happy to have another piece of fertile territory for Takeda Yoshinobu's future.

Anyway, it was Takeda Shingen who took the blame for the robbery, and the child's hands were clean.
