Chapter 704 Imagawa's Collapse

Takeda Harunobu straightened his posture, and smiled at Takeda Noburen and Takeda Zhuhime.

"The Hojo and Imagawa families seem to be powerful, but they have internal and external troubles, which are nothing to worry about.

I have sent Toninin to the Kanto plains to spread the word that Uesugi Terotora Kamiro is valued by General Ashikaga, and that he will inherit the Uesugi family in Yamauchi and get the Kanto governorship.

The Hojo family committed a lot of crimes in the Musashi and Shimono countries. The two Uesugi families have been operating the Kanto Plain for more than a hundred years, and there are always some loyal ministers and filial daughters who are willing to fight to the death.

Now that Uesugi Terutora is about to go south, if the Hojo family doesn't get rid of the hidden dangers earlier and prepare for the Echigo army, can they still take into account the life and death of the Imagawa family?
Too busy to take care of yourself! "

Terutora Uesugi and Harunobu Takeda will negotiate a peace in Kawanakajima because of the strategic complementarity between the two sides, which is profitable.

The Hojo family opened up the Kanto Plain to the east, and the Echigo army going south was bound to decide the outcome.Now, in the direction of the Chuan family, it is difficult for Hojo Ujiyasu to take care of.

The Echigo samurai family is powerful, and the Takeda family has personally tasted it.In the Chuanakajima battle, there were bloody corpses, and the samurai of Jiaxinshan fought hard, so they were beaten to death.

Takeda's retainers may have more confidence in Echigo's army than Uesugi Terutoro himself.

Seeing that the group of Takeda retainers headed by Takeda Noburen felt a little relieved, Takeda Harunobu continued.

"The internal turmoil in the Imagawa family started in Ozawa, and broke the foundation of the family.

In the three kingdoms of present Sichuan, the Suruga people and the Yuanjiang people are in civil strife, and the Sanhe people are almost independent.

I have already sent someone to contact the Mikawa Matsudaira family, and I am willing to join forces with them to attack the Imagawa family.

Suruga and Yuanjiang are also trying to win each other over.As long as the Imagawa Clan really dares to fight me, I will keep at least [-] of them defecting before the battle. "

Takeda Zhuji, you look at me, I look at you, it is also unbelievable.

But Harunobu Takeda's statement was so tempting that they couldn't help swallowing, imagining that the Imagawa family would collapse as soon as it was pushed, and they were at the mercy of others.

Takeda Harunobu is proficient in the art of war, and has always loved to use external moves in combat, disrupting the enemy by three points before fighting.

Regardless of the Shinano strategy, or instigating and provoking around Echigo, they are all masters.

The Imagawa family is covered in sieves, and there are loopholes everywhere.If she didn't play with her mind, she wouldn't be Takeda Harunobu.

As she said, the current situation of the Imagawa family is the follow-up influence of Ozama, and I really can't blame the Imagawa family's poor ability.

At the beginning, Yoshimoto Jinchuan used the excuse of going to Luo, and tens of thousands of troops marched westward along the Tokaido, trying to swallow the Oda family in Owari in one go.

Who knew that Oda Nobunaga was also a ruthless character, so he gambled a lot.With the help of the storm in the barrel, Imagawa Yoshimoto's main formation was wiped out in one fell swoop.

The Jinchuan family has no leader and returns home in defeat.Its strength has not been affected much, and only a thousand people died, but the trouble lies in those people who died.

The ruling structure of the Wu family is a real feudal system, not a centralized system of the Celestial Dynasty.The dead are not scary, the most afraid of dying a large number of their own people.

The Celestial Dynasty has a mature bureaucratic system. Even if the royal family is taken over by one pot, and only Zhao Jiumei escapes, it can still be called a widow, without affecting governance.

But the samurai family can't do it. The ruling structure is nesting dolls, surrounded by circles.The core circle is empty, which is equivalent to the disintegration of the rule.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's main formation gathered too many powerful members, relatives, city lords, and powerful people with names and surnames. No less than [-] people died.

The powerful retainers under his command, such as Asahina, Okabe, Ii, Matsuhira, and other families, and the leaders of the families who were close to the Imagawa family also suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing the death list, Mr. Imagawa was probably more sad than knowing the news of his mother's death in battle.Without these people, she can't control the place.

It was because of the high-level Imagawa executives in Ozawazama that the Imagawa family's ruling system over the Three Kingdoms of Tokaido collapsed instantly.

Sanhe Songping's family directly turned their faces, intending to attack Dong Sanhe.

Toe country Asahina family, Amano family, Iio family, Matsui family, Ii family.The leaders of each family died in Ozawa, and the power of the family close to Imagawa was weakened, with ulterior motives.

The best situation is the Suruga country.The Imagawa family has ruled here for the longest time and has the strongest foundation.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's old father, Shou Guiseng, endured the pain of losing his daughter and came forward to mediate, and finally kept his granddaughter Imagawa's true rule over Junfu Castle.

However, there are four alluvial plain areas in Suruga country, Oi, Abe, Fuji, and Kano.That is to say, the Abegawa area where Junfu City is located is still relatively obedient, while other places have already listened to the tune and not listened to the announcement.

The Imagawa family's ruling power over the Three Kingdoms has almost collapsed, and even if the Imagawa family is really overpowered, it can't save the overall situation.

Just like Shiba Yoshiyin's helplessness when he almost got the territory of [-] shi in the past.No matter how many territories there are, how can we rule if there is no one sect and no genealogy?

Hand it over to the local samurai?What's the difference between that and giving it away?Can these mercenary fools be trusted?
Yoshihiko Shiba can choose to divide it into the Shiba Co., Ltd., and everyone will share it. At worst, he will sacrifice his body and make a child to earn back.

But the Jinchuan family really can't do it, the Jinchuan family can't be destroyed in her hands, they can only support it.

That's why Takeda Harunobu said that the Imagawa family was vulnerable to internal and external troubles.As long as they can buy the Suruga people with a huge profit, it is enough to defeat the seemingly powerful Imagawa family just by defecting.

She is confident in front of Takeda's retainers, but she is actually not sure in her heart.In order to successfully conquer the Suruga Kingdom, all three strategies must be effective.

First, the Hojo family focused on the Kanto Plain and had no time to look back at the Imagawa family.

Second, the Mikawa Matsudaira family is strong enough to attract the attention of the Imagawa family and share the pressure of attacking the Suruga country.

Third, the Suruga people and the Yuanjiang people were renounced and unwilling to fight to the death for the Imagawa clan, so they defected after being bribed.

There is one less of the three, and the strategy of the Takeda family this time is all costly and protracted.

Takeda Harunobu's prestige has been damaged, knowing that his Suruga strategy cannot cause too much loss to the Takeda family, and he can't bear the setback of failure.

She inadvertently stroked her abdomen, as if she wanted to get the strength to stabilize her emotions from there.

I will leave you a strong Takeda family, and I will never fall here.

I promise you, my child.

The so-called troubled times means that the world is in chaos, and no one can be spared from it.All parties use the winter to accumulate strength and prepare for a new conquest in the coming year.

Shiba Yoshigin, who was far away in Echigo Tochio, had not waited for Okuma Asohide, but unexpectedly got one person.

Gamo clan came to salute with Ina Tadaji, Yoshihiro looked at the recommendation letter from Maeda Toshiie in his hand, and then looked at the unattractive woman in front of him, sighing in his heart.

It has been almost two years since he left Owari, and Owari Shiba, who had been left behind, expanded against the trend in the corner he ignored.

Maeda Toshiie is really a formidable Ji samurai, but she doesn't know how she could endure Oda Nobunaga's coercion, and stay wholeheartedly in Owari Shiba, guarding the loneliness that was left behind.

The center of gravity of the Shiba family is near, in Echigo, not Owari, and Owari Shiba is an abandoned son.Maeda Toshiie is so smart, why can't he see through this?

Even if she took refuge in Oda Nobunaga, Yoshihiro Shiba would not blame her.It was Yoshihiko Shiba who first ignored the collar of Owari Shiba for the good birds to choose trees to live in.

Thinking of the passion between the two, Yiyin couldn't help shaking his head.

Lijia can't be that stupid, can he?

For one night, for a lifetime?
