different warring states of japan

Chapter 703

The country of Suruga has many mountains and few lands, and the stone height is [-].There are many estuaries to the sea here, and the main plains are in the river estuaries of Suruga Bay in the south.

From east to west, there are four main rivers.The Kano River borders Izu, the Fuji River in Fuji County, the Abe River near Sumpu Castle, and the Oi River borders the Toe Country.

Near the estuaries of these four rivers are the main plain grain-producing areas of Suruga.The problem between the Hojo family and the Imagawa family mainly lies in the Kano River.

The two countries of Izu and Sagami are the basic base of the Hojo family.The Imagawa family dispatched troops from the Kano River and occupied several mountain passes, which could easily cut off the connection between the two countries.

This is a hidden danger that the Hojo family will never tolerate.

The relationship between the two families broke down because the Hojo family asked the two sides to divide the border and retreat westward from Kano River to Fuji River.The main point of contention was the Hojo family's desire to gain control of Omiya Castle in Fujikawa.

The Imagawa family felt that they had helped the Hojo family to become powerful, and if they didn't get any benefits, they would give away the land and give away the city, which is unreasonable!
The Hojo family believed that the threat of Kano River was too great, and the border must be retreated to Fuji River.This is the foundation of a stable family business, and there is no reason to speak of it.

The alliance between the two sides broke down and they fought.

Therefore, the Hojo family seriously warned the Takeda family this time, and they used the covenant to talk about things, which caused the princesses of the Takeda family to burst into laughter.

The Hojo family can do it, but my Takeda family can't do it?Shameless especially!
Back to the original question.

After the Hojo family had a dispute with the Imagawa family, Takeda Harunobu in the north was also facing the same problem as his mother.

Should the unified Kai Kingdom go south or north?
When they saw a dispute between the two powers in the south, the Imagawa family protected Takeda Nobutora again, seeming to interfere in the internal affairs of the Takeda family.

So, Takeda Harunobu simply went south.The Takeda family had to cross the Fuji River when they invaded the Suruga Country, and Omiya Castle, the most important stronghold along the Fuji River, also became her goal.

The three parties focused on Omiya City, and the porridge was boiled to a pulp.After running in again and again, everyone found that it is completely meaningless to waste national power here.

The Imagawa family wants to open up the Tokaido, and go to Kyoto to achieve great success.

The Hojo family faced the restless Ryouesugi family in the Kanto Plain, and had no energy to spend on the Suruga country to the west.

However, the Takeda family's Kai country is the weakest, and the Shinano samurai family in the north sees the Takeda family going south, and is ready to move.

The three parties had their own difficulties, and finally reached a compromise.With a solid triangular relationship, three alliances are formed, back to back, and each goes back to solve the problem.

Hojo Ujiyasu was the most resolute, and even married his son to Imagawa Yoshimoto's heir, Imagawa Ushima, who is now the Imagawa Family Governor.

The years are like songs, and the times have changed.

Now that Imagawa Yoshimoto died in battle, and the Imagawa family is in turmoil, Hojo's Yasushi is more afraid of Takeda Harunobu's tearing up the three alliances than Imagawa's, and he goes south to attack Suruga.

The Hojo family has no heart for Shangluo, and their request to the Suruga country is to maintain the status quo, and Kanogawa will not become a threat to the Izu Sagami countries.

The main goal of the Hojo family is the Kanto Plain. If the direction of the Tokaido can be quiet, there should be no trouble.

But the Takeda family was frustrated when they went north. The Battle of Kawanakajima completely wiped out the Takeda people's thoughts of confronting Uesugi Terutora, and turned around to pinch the soft persimmon of Imagawa Shima.

Once Takeda went south, Omiya Castle was the first target.Fujikawa was occupied by the Takeda family, and the connection between the Imagawa family and the Hojo family was broken.

How could the Hojo family allow the ambitious Takeda Harunobu to occupy the Suruga country and become their own threat.

Now Chuan Shizhen is not very capable, but she is her own daughter-in-law, and she can help the Hojo family take care of the weakness behind her.

Whether public or private, the Hojo family will of course stand by the Imagawa family to prevent the Takeda family from going south.

Takeda Harunobu felt amused when he saw Oyamada Nobushige's face turn blue and Anayama Nobukun spout nonsense.The two families fell out completely, which was beneficial to Takeda Harunobu, and she was happy to see a joke.

But there was still a trace of disappointment in her heart.

Although she knew that Hojo Ujiyasu would not allow the Takeda family to go south, she still contacted the Hojo family to share the Suruga Kingdom with delusions.

Now it seems that Hojo Shiyasu is determined to help his daughter-in-law, and she will become the biggest obstacle for the Takeda family to go south.

Although the Takeda family owns the Kai country, they also took over half of Shinano, so they are quite powerful.But compared to the Hojo family and the Imagawa family joining forces, the strength is still insufficient.

Harunobu Takeda followed Sun Tzu's rules in doing things. Before going to war, he must use all means to weaken the enemy's strength to the minimum.

She clapped her hands, and the audience fell silent.

"Hojo Shiyasu is old and fatuous, not worth mentioning. Since she ignores my kindness, then we will do it ourselves."

Takeda Noburen glanced at his confident sister, and reminded her.

"Your Highness, the Hojo family should not be underestimated."

Takeda Harunobu glanced at her impatiently, and moved his body a little, feeling a little sore in his waist.

The princesses looked at Takeda Harunobu's abdomen, their eyes flickering complicatedly.Everyone is not a fool, and some gossip has already spread all over the city.

Takeda Harunobu was pregnant with Shiba Yoshigin's child, and the concubines feared and respected Kenshin, who beheaded a large number of family members on Kawanaka Island.

Takeda Harunobu shamelessly humiliated him, and no one can tell whether keeping this child will cause trouble to the family in the future.

That one is Odaisho, this is an excuse given to the Ashikaga family, and there is an excuse to kill the Takeda family.

But Takeda Harunobu was strong internally, suppressed the opposition, and insisted on giving birth to a child, no one could do anything about it.

But this also further shook her prestige, allowing Kawanakajima to negotiate a large amount of benefits to buy the buyer, and Takeda Harunobu, who managed to stabilize his family, was questioned again.

Takeda Noburen is the representative figure.

She hoped that the family governor would get married and leave an orthodox heir for the continuation of the family business.Instead of usurping the blood of Lord Kenshin and leaving hidden dangers for the Takeda family business.

Takeda Harunobu ignored her.

Although Takeda Nobushige is not as handy as Takeda Nobushige in controlling Takeda's family, at least he is still on the side of the family governor at critical moments.

What Takeda Harunobu has to do now is not to deal with her, but to use the Suruga strategy to rebuild his invincible image that was shattered by Shiba Yoshigin.

Sometimes she also gritted her teeth, hating how much trouble that friend had caused her.

It is difficult to establish an invincible image, but the withering of the idol only needs one defeat.The martial arts are utilitarian, and if the family governor is not good enough, they will be replaced. There is no tradition of tolerance.

Yoshigin Shiba was different from ordinary people. When Harunobu Takeda had a morning sickness reaction that no woman in this world had ever had, it interfered with her majesty.

She had to endure the discomfort and pretend to be calm, so that she could stabilize the retainers and carry out the difficult Suruga strategy.

When dreaming back in the middle of the night, Takeda Harunobu also hated him deeply, and wished that he had fallen into this kind of situation, and it would be over once and for all.But as the sun rose, she stroked her stomach again, full of expectations for the future.

This complicated thought, I really can't explain it clearly, there is only one word.

Nie Yuan.
