Chapter 615 The Turn of the Strategy

The Anayama family and the Koyamada family are semi-independent forces among the Kai people, and they were unwilling to go to the Northern Expedition.

This time the Kai people suffered heavy losses, because they belonged to the ranks of relatives, they did not suffer much loss on the left wing.And because Nobushige Takeda died in battle, his right to speak among the disciples increased greatly.

Takeda Noburen didn't see Shiba Yoshiyin's difficulty, so they all supported Takeda Noburen.

On the face of it, this is a manifestation of the unity of Takeda's family, but behind it is a hidden evil intention.

It made no difference to them what the outcome of the negotiations was.These two families are far away in the south of Kai, estranged from Beixin, and do not get much benefit.

The vassal groups of both sides suffered heavy losses, and they definitely didn't want to fight anymore. The focus of the peace talks between the two sides was the division and ownership of Beixin.

They strongly demand to strive for the best interests.

If a good result is discussed, it is due to their advice.If the talks are not good, it means that the family supervisor is not capable enough, and a great opportunity was wasted.

No matter what the result is, the prestige of the two families in Takeda Yimen will rise, and Takeda Harunobu will suffer.

What's even more disgusting is that they are supporting Takeda Noburen on the surface.

Even if Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Noburen, the leader of the sect, had clarified the inside story, Takeda Noburen would not be inconvenient to warn them.

Because this will make a group of people mistakenly think that she doesn't know good and bad, and doesn't protect her supporters.

Takeda Harunobu knew that she could not deal with these two families for the time being, and her control over the Takeda family was not as good as before because of the tragic battle at Kawanakajima.

But she knew in her heart that the two companies must not be allowed to continue to cooperate, and their union must be broken up.

Takeda Haru sneered confidently.

After the Takeda family and the Uesugi family fought together on Kawanakajima, the retainers of both sides had reached a consensus that the other party should not be messed with.

The strategy of the Takeda family must change.

The Anayama family covets the Imagawa family's territory, and the Oyamada family has a close relationship with the Hojo family because they are responsible for the Takeda family's negotiations with the Hojo family.

Takeda Harunobu is looking forward to it.

Once he decides to go south, the three alliances of Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo break down. Can these two families maintain their current tacit understanding?

The Anayama family supported the crusade against the Imagawa family, but would the Oyamada family dare to oppose it in order to maintain the covenant with the Hojo family?It's exciting.

Takeda Harunobu clapped his hands, signaling Anayama Nobu-kun to be calm.

She didn't refute directly, but turned to ask Yukitaka Sanada's opinion.

"Sanada-sama, what do you think?"

Sanada Yutaka glanced at Suwa, Kiso and other Shinano members who cast their gazes at her, and then said.

"The general has a lot of support for His Highness Uesugi, and recognized her as inheriting the Uesugi family in the mountains, and becoming the leader of the Kanto.

They even sent the Royal Office to come to Kanto as their platform, and the target must be the Hojo family on the Kanto Plain.

The Kawanakajima Plain and West Ueno are the bottom line of the Uesugi family, and Odaisho will never let go. "

The Shinano people did not want to continue the war, although they formed an ambush team in the last battle, they joined the battlefield at the end, and did not have a head-to-head battle with the Uesugi Army.

But the loss of the Kai people has already made these Shinano people who have taken refuge in the Takeda family tremble in their hearts.

The Takeda family took over the territory of the Murakami family in Beixin, and distributed it to the Kaizhong. The Shinano Xianfangzhong, who was the leading party, did not get any benefits.

These Shinano forces have no interest in Beixin. Anyway, the Takeda family won here, and it is not their turn to enjoy the benefits here.

Harunobu Takeda named Yukitaka Sanada, and she simply played a trick.Don't talk about your attitude, so as not to offend others.

On the other hand, it also pointed out the bottom line of Yoshihiro Shiba, showing his value in front of Harunobu Takeda.

After hearing her words, Takeda Harunobu couldn't help nodding, lowering his head in thought.

As Sanada Yutaka said, Shiba Yoshigin's bottom line should be Kawanakajima Plain and Nishi Ueno.

West Ueno is related to Echigo’s southward passage to the Kanto Plain, and its importance is self-evident. Terotora Uesugi will never allow the Takeda family to expand in this direction.

The ownership of Kawanakajima Plain is also related to the safety of Takata Plain, the core base of the Echigo Uesugi family.

Shinano four districts.

Nanxin has many mountains, while Dongxin is a horse grazing land.Only the Suwa Basin of CITIC and the Nagano Basin of Beixin have large-scale plain cultivation.

The most important thing in marching and fighting is logistics, especially the rugged mountain road in Shinano, which consumes more material transportation.

The Takeda family swallowed the Suwa Basin, and only then did they have sufficient logistical resources to radiate the entire Shinano.

If Harunobu Takeda takes the Nagano Basin, her logistics line can continue to be stretched, and she can go north to attack Echigo.

The core agricultural area of ​​the Nagano Basin is the Kawanakashima Plain.The Chikuma River goes north directly through the Echigo Mountains and becomes the Shinano River into the sea. The two places are closely related.

Sending troops from Kawanaka Island, the Takeda family can rely on water transportation, and the logistical pressure will be very small, which poses a great threat to Echigo's heartland.

As long as Takeda Harunobu does not give up his ambition for Kawanakajima Plain, the Uesugi and Takeda families will not be able to reach peace.

There are a lot of treachery in the samurai family, how dare Uesugi Terutora show his belly to Takeda Harunobu, betting that she won't stab a knife.

Therefore, if the Takeda family does not give up the strategy of Kawanakajima and Nishi Ueno, the two will fight again sooner or later.

Even if Yoshihiro Shiba was trapped, he had no choice but to agree to a compromise.After he goes back, Uesugi Terutora will still accumulate strength, tear up the contract and fight Kawanakajima again.

Sanada Yutaka has already made it very clear about the balance point between the two parties.

What Takeda Harunobu wanted was true peace, so he gave up these two places.If you want to fake peace, then forcefully use negotiations to take Chuanzhong Island, and let the whole army fight again.

Sanada Yutaka also used this to test Takeda Harunobu's mind, whether the Takeda family governor has any idea of ​​a strategic shift.

Takeda Harunobu knew best that the northward strategy had failed.

Uesugi Terutora is a tough guy, and with Shiba Yoshigin's help, continuing the Northern Expedition will be a long-term tug of war, and Takeda Harunobu can't afford it.

After losing Nobushige Takeda, Harunobu Takeda's control over the Takeda family decreased, and the tolerance threshold of Takeda's vassals to the family governor was far lower than before.

If Takeda Harunobu persisted in the strategy of going north, and gnawed at Echigo's hard bone, the Takeda retainers would most likely be in trouble.

Kawanakajima can no longer fight, if such a loss happens again, Takeda's retainers will definitely rebel, and Takeda Harunobu will die without a place to bury him.

Since Echigo cannot be conquered, Kawanakajima and Nishi Ueno have become tasteless.

Instead of attacking Echigo, the Takeda family held these two places, which were also targets of the Uesugi family, to protect the Hojo family in the Kanto Plain behind them.

Takeda Harunobu was out of his mind to make wedding dresses for the Hojo family. Why not take advantage of Shiba Yoshigin's capture and negotiate some benefits.

The strategic turn of the Takeda family can only be in one direction, and that is the wealthy Imagawa family.

Imagawa Yoshimoto has controlled the Imagawa family business for many years, conquered Suruga, Enjiang, and Mikawa, the three leading countries of the Tokaido, and opened up the Tokaido trade route.

Although after her death, the daughter of Imagawa, who inherited the family business, really couldn't control the Three Kingdoms.

However, the base of the Imagawa family is the Suruga country, and the governor of the Imagawa family, Junfu City, has accumulated wealth for many years, which is coveted.

The Imagawa family was in constant turmoil, and it was the soft persimmons that the Takeda family used to restore blood after suffering heavy losses.

Uesugi Terutora and Shiba Yoshiyin must also hope that the Takeda family will turn south and destroy the alliance of Takeda, Hojo, and Imagawa.

To the west of the Hojo family is the territory of Imagawa and Takeda. If these two families fight, can her family still concentrate on dealing with the Kanto Plain in the east?

The Uesugi family entered from the Ueno country in the north, and directly attacked the new territory that the Hojo family had not had time to digest from the east.

It is in the interest of the Uesugi family for the Takeda family to go south and attract the attention of the Hojo family in the west.

Takeda Harunobu is confident that Shiba Yoshigin will spit out enough benefits to buy himself off.
