different warring states of japan

Chapter 461 Attack
Yiyin put aside the idea of ​​wooing Da Xiong Chaoxiu, and asked Benzhuang Shino.

"The army is pressing down on the border, and we have to guard for at least five days.

If you were besieged in the city early, the risk of Zhongyuezhong would be unpredictable, what do you think? "

Ben Zhuang actually answered.

"Da Xiong Chaoxiu's rebellion was a moment of anger, I want to send someone to appease her, I don't want success, as long as she hesitates for a few days.

After all, Nagao Masaki-sama is a relative of His Highness, and the Guzhi Nagao family can come forward to coordinate and let her wait and see.

She rebelled, regardless of success or failure, His Highness will not punish her too deeply.If you can look at the style before choosing, you should not refuse. "

Yiyin glanced at the upright warrior Ji, who didn't expect her to be so dark-hearted.

Daxiong Chaoxiu was murdered miserably, and he still wanted to lie to her, hold her steady, and settle the score after the fall.The two worked together before, and they must have suffered from this black brick.

As for the matter of Ueda Nagao's family, she was indeed right.

Nagao Zhengjing is the most free-spirited of several rebel forces, even if he fails, he will be punished with three glasses of wine, no exception.

The Fuchu Nagao family's ability to rule Echigo is the political structure of the three Nagao families united, which is the foundation of Uesugi Terotora's rule.

Although Nagao's political situation is messed up, the members of the three families have long been pinched together by the Fuchu Nagao family, and they have become Echigo's largest interest group.

The Nagao One Clan is Uesugi Terutora's most loyal followers and the backbone of the military.

If she severely sanctioned Nagao Masaki, the house governor of Ueda Nagao's family, what would the Nagao family think?What would the Koshi Nagao family think?
The martial arts gather under one family name, seeking benefits, the so-called blood connection is all about letting go, is there still a lot of blood relatives killing each other?

Terutora Uesugi wants to change Nagao's family in Fuchu to Uesugi's family in Yamauchi. He can only appease the uneasy emotions of Nagao's family, and must not stimulate them, causing the basic market to collapse.

Nagao Masaki's behavior can be seen as the most violent reaction of Nagao's family to her change of family name.

Uesugi Terotora wants to stabilize the fundamentals, he can only handle it lightly, it is impossible to slash Nagao's political situation and hurt the hearts of Nagao's family.

Yiyin shook his head, determined to go his own way and strengthen his strength.

Uesugi Terutora's admiration is really unreliable, this guy has too many troubles, it's good to take care of himself.Count on her?forget it.

Yiyin continued to ask Ben Zhuang Shina.

"What about Yang Beizhong?"

"Stick to the city, use Zhongtiao Tengzi and other Yangbei people who are close to His Highness as internal responses, and confuse their internal opinions.

The casualties in the siege far outweighed that in field battles, and whoever was willing to take advantage of the fire in Yangbei was the one who preserved his own strength.

After a few days of chaos, when their internal opinions are unified, His Highness's reinforcements should also arrive.

Odaisho, what do you think? "

Yiyin glanced at Honjo Shino, and her suggestion boiled down to avoiding war.

He shook his head and said firmly.

"not good.

The most important thing to defend the city is to seize the initiative. How can there be any reason to pin all your hopes on the rebels?

What I mean is, take the initiative to attack before they are encircled, fight! "

Ben Zhuang squinted his eyes and did not speak.

Her approach is conservative.

Now that the lord has returned to the country, he can bring reinforcements to kill him in a few days, so he uses words to confuse the rebel army to achieve the purpose of delaying.

The approach is feasible, but unfortunately Yiyin cannot agree.Whether public or private, he had to fight before Terutora Uesugi arrived.

Yu Gong, Honjo really has confidence in Uesugi Terutora's military strategy, and the master said that it will arrive in ten days, so he will find a way to delay it for ten days.

But how can there be absolutes on the battlefield?

Since ancient times, the most taboo is to defend the city passively and sit in a lonely city.In case something goes wrong, the defenders who have lost the initiative can only be beaten passively.

This hurts morale, and there are a group of grasshoppers in Tochio Castle, which increases the danger.

Honjo Shino's approach was to show weakness. Although it delayed the time, it also exposed the guilty conscience of Tochio Castle, which would raise the arrogance and morale of the rebel army.

One ups and downs is not good for the future battle, Yi Yin can't agree.

Yu Si, Yiyin came to the noble land for the first time, and the stubborn Kanto samurai would not recognize those achievements and prestige in Kansai.

They would only laugh at the cowardice of the Kansai samurai family, who couldn't even beat a man.

The prestige of the samurai depends on the achievements of iron and blood.

For Yoshigin to gain a firm foothold in Kanto and Echigo, in addition to his status as a descendant of Genji Hanoi blessed by Yujian, he also needs to prove that he is good at fighting.

The only way for a man to stand out in this samurai society is to be more resolute, better at fighting, and better at killing than these Ji warriors.

Other than that, there is no other way.

Therefore, Yoshigin must take the initiative to attack and use this rebellion to establish his prestige among the Echigo samurai family.

Yiyin said to Ben Zhuang.

"Your strategy does make the rebels hesitate, but it also makes us look cowardly.

The morale of the rebel army is like a rainbow, and our army is defending the city. His Highness Uesugi leads the reinforcements, and we must put in more effort to subdue these rebels.

Therefore, we cannot passively defend to the death, but must take the initiative to suppress the momentum of rebellion.

When His Royal Highness Uesugi arrives, they can be defeated more quickly and end this chaos earlier. "

Ben Zhuang really thought for a while, and couldn't help nodding.

"What Yutai said is true. It is true that His Highness should not increase the risk of confrontation. It is because I didn't think carefully.

So you mean, how to deal with it? "

Yi Yin said.

"Yang Beizhong will arrive in three days, and the army of Daxiong Chaoxiu and Nagao Masaaki has already approached Tochio Castle, intending to encircle it.

Give me some military strength, and I will lead the elite of the Shiba family as the backbone, and take the initiative to attack Daxiong Chaoxiu westward.

The Shangshan people also sent an army to the east, and sent envoys to join forces with Guzhi Nagao's family to attack Nagao's political situation.

Attack on both sides, limited to three days.It is best to defeat the rebels, and return to the city immediately if there is no defeat.

The rebels never expected that we dared to send troops to fight in the field, so they must be caught off guard.The worst thing to do is to give them a blow and blow their morale.

You sit and guard the city, rush to make the flag of the Ashikaga family, plant more white flags on the top of the city, and advertise this city as my imperial residence, and wait for the arrival of the Yangbei rebels. "

Yoshigin buried a thought in it, letting everyone know that Uesugi Terutora had given Tochio Castle to himself, so as to stop the Uesugi family from thinking about asking for it back after the war.

Ben Zhuang really didn't think of his selfishness, but carefully considered the pros and cons of taking the initiative to attack.

Later, she nodded and said.

"Yutaisuo is wise, I will assign to you a few Zhongyue people who are close to the master's house, and take them to fight Daxiong Chaoxiu.

Coordinating the military forces, leading the way and leading the team, is still in charge of Lord Naoe Kanatsugu. "

Naoe Kanetsugu let out a hi, bowed and accepted the order.

Honjo Shino said to Saito Asanobu again.

"Master Saito, you take half of the nearby banners and their troops to stop Nagao Masaaki, and I will send envoys to contact Nagao Jingxin-sama and ask her to send troops to assist you in the battle.

If you fail in one blow, join forces with Lord Nagao Jingxin and come to Tochio Castle. Please focus on the overall situation and don't love to fight. "

"Hi!"

Benzhuang really looked at Yiyin and bowed.

"I wish you prosperity.

I will strictly guard the city, prepare the flag, and wait for the return of the two armies. "

Benzhuang is really not worried about Saito Asanobu, this man has been battle-hardened and valiant in battle.What she was worried about was, would Shiba Yoshigin's imperial office work?
But if she left Sibo Yiyin to defend the city, she would go by herself, even more afraid of losing the city.

The lesser of two evils, she chose to guard the more important Tochio Castle by herself.

Yiyin nodded, understanding her worry in his heart.Delu gave these guys a good look, so as not to be underestimated in the future.

It's useless to talk more at this time, Yiyin nodded and said.

"After a night's rest, please ask the village to coordinate the logistics and make rations overnight, enough for the army for three days.

In the morning, we will bury the pot and make rice, and send troops immediately after we are full. "

All Ji warriors had no objection, so they cheered and bowed to accept the order.

---

At the same time that Yiyin deterred the Zhongyue samurai family and tried to seize the military dominance from the hands of the village.

Terutora Uesugi also led the army over Mt. Yone, and met Kakizaki Keijia and Usami Dingman who were stationed outside Hojo Castle.

There are two major plains in Echigo, the Takata Plain in Joetsu in the west, and the Echigo Plain in the east.

Between the two plains is a mountainous region derived from the Echigo Mountains to the northwest.

Here, the west is called Mishan, and the east is called Shidi, which is a hilly area of ​​rocky wasteland.

Between the two, there is a small plain, surrounded by mountains and sea, is the Kashiwazaki Plain.

As the main road connecting the two plains of Echigo, there are mixed martial arts from all sides of Echigo, China and Etsu, and the situation is quite complicated.

And Hojo Castle is stuck near the entrance to the stone land leading to Zhongyue. It is a city that must be grasped for logistics stability.

Takahiro Hojo has been working for the Fuchu Nagao family since the time of Uesugi Terutora's mother.

No one thought that she would respond to the rebellion, and instantly severed the connection between Uesugi and China who were loyal to Uesugi Terutora's family.

This made the Shangshan people quite passive in the face of the rebellion. Fortunately, the lord returned to the country and took charge of the army to suppress the rebellion. The Ji warriors finally found their backbone.
