Chapter 845 Takeda invades Suruga

After confirming the willingness of all parties to make peace, Yiyin moved forward again to the settlement, crossed Zhuangchuan and returned to Takaoka Castle to facilitate negotiations with all parties.

Because he was worried, this time Uesugi Terutora brought elites to accompany him to Takaoka Castle to escort him, but Yoshihiro didn't take it seriously.

In politics, there is the help of the master Xianru, in the military, the samurai also have the advantage, and in the economy, there is the help of Hokuriku business interests.Yiyin is full of confidence in this mediation, and stability for several years will not be a problem.

When he was coming to the end of all hardships and tasting the fruits of victory, Uesugi Terutora came to see him on something.

Uesugi Terutora said with a frown as the two talked secretly in the Takaoka Castle Residence Hall.

"Two pieces of news came later, one good and the other bad."

Yi Yin smiled and said.

"Then sweet first and then bitter, first agree."

The Shiba family's foundation in Kanto is shallow, and the military team was sent by Yoshihiro to infiltrate the Kanto Plain.His news is blocked, far less well-informed than Echigo Uesugi's family.

Uesugi Terutora said dumbfoundingly.

"Whether it's good news or not, Takeda Harunobu succeeded, and she won the Suruga country."

Yiyin was taken aback.

"How could it be so fast? No matter how weak the Imagawa family is, they won't be so vulnerable, right?"

Teruto Uesugi sighed.

"Monk Shougui passed away at the beginning of the year, and Takeda Harunobu was cunning, and he was good at using outsiders to recruit and fight against the samurai family. The Imakawa family was strong outside, but they fell down as soon as they were pushed."

Yiyin was taken aback for a moment, the Jinchuan clan was really unlucky, it was really unlucky.

"Tell me specifically, what's going on?"

Uesugi Terutora spoke eloquently.

Imakawa Yoshimoto's father, Shougui Monk is old and weak, and has long ignored the affairs of Imagawa's family.

It's just that his daughter was killed in battle, and his granddaughter couldn't hold back the retainers, so he had to drag his old body out to stand for his granddaughter.

I don't know if it's because the death of my daughter was too sad, or because the internal and external troubles this year were too debilitating.The old man failed to survive the deep winter and passed away at the beginning of the year.

After the death of Shougui Monk, the Jinchuan Clan could no longer hold back their retainers, and even the Wu family near Junfu City had a fluttering feeling.

At this moment, Takeda Harunobu broke the covenant on the grounds that the Imagawa family used the policy of preventing salt, and went south to invade the Suruga country.

She quickly took down the unsuspecting Fuji County, and went straight to the real Junfu Castle of the Imagawa Clan.The Imagawa clan really bit the bullet and led a group of retainers to fight against Takeda's army at Sato Pass.

Sato Pass, Hakone Pass, and Suzuka Pass are collectively known as the three difficult points of the Tokaido, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.Imagawa's strategy is correct to stick to Satsutou Pass and wait for the Hojo family's support.

It's a pity that the Imagawa retainer regiment has long been persecuted by Takeda Harunobu, and the Shougui monk died suddenly.Once the Dinghaishenzhen of the Imagawa family went, the Imagawa family really couldn't control the situation.

As a result, before the two armies fought, twenty-one important ministers of the Jinchuan family had turned against each other.

The Takeda family captured Sunfu Castle without a single battle, and the Imagawa clan had no choice but to flee to Kakegawa Castle on the Toto River.

Because the defeat was so fast, her husband, the son of Hojo Ujiyasu, didn't even have time to get on the ox cart, so he had to flee for his life on foot.

The story of his son's embarrassing escape was reported to Odawara Castle in Sagami Country, which angered Hojo Shiyasu.The Hojo family has found out about Echigo's army going out to fight in Etsuchu, and has started to mobilize, preparing to send troops to the Suruga country.

At the same time, Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was notified by the Takeda family, also launched an operation.

The three people in Xiyuanjiang have long been secretly taking refuge in Songping Yuankang, and the Songping family's army has not encountered any obstacles in Xiyuanjiang.

Matsudaira Motoyasu quickly captured Iigani Castle and Hima Castle in the middle of Yuanjiang Country.The well-known Yuanjiang Ii family, under the leadership of the male supervisor Ii Naotora, took the lead in joining the Matsudaira family, and Yuanjiang was shocked for a while.

The ruling system of the Imagawa family in Suruga and the Enjiang two countries was crushed by two sides in one spring.The Imagawa clan was shivering in Kakegawa Castle in Dongyuan River, and the collapse of the family business was just around the corner.

After confirming that the Imagawa clan was no longer a threat, Takeda Harunobu turned to deal with the approaching Hojo army.Matsudaira Yuanyasu also stopped in Yima City, waiting for an opportunity.

Shiba Yoshihiro sighed after hearing this.

The Tōkaidō has become a mess, no matter who is the winner in the end, the Imagawa family must be the loser.

The family property left by Yoshimoto Imagawa was smashed to pieces.At the same time, there is also the Tokaido trade route that has been peaceful for many years and is considered safe by the caravans.

Yoshihiko Shiba said.

"It's good news.

The East China Sea road is restless, and several caravans must choose the Hokuriku Road trade route in recent years.A large amount of commercial profit is enough for us to stabilize the situation in Noto Etsuchu and concentrate on developing the Kanto Raiders. "

Uesugi Terutoro did not take it seriously.

"Takeda Harunobu's methods are despicable, and he used countermeasures against the Suruga people. Although he gained the upper hand for a while, he will definitely pay more in the future.

Now the Matsudaira family has an unclear attitude in the Yuanjiang country, and Hojo Ujiyasu is also determined to stand up for the Imagawa clan, and she may not be able to stabilize the situation. "

Shiba Yoshigin knew that Uesugi Terutora looked down on Takeda Harunobu, always thinking that her strategy outside the battlefield was invincible.

But Yoshigin appreciated this approach very much. If Uesugi Terutora could learn from Takeda Harunobu and use his brain to do things more, he would not be so tired.

Uesugi Terotora's perspective on this matter makes sense.Violence is the most costly solution, but it is also the most radical.

Takeda Harunobu was eager for success, and recruited the rebels from Suruga, and indeed took down the Suruga country quickly, but the spoils would be much less.

The Suruga country is [-] stone high, and most of the country is mountainous, but there are many alluvial plains near the four rivers that go south to the sea.

On the border of Oigawa and Higashitoe, there are many samurai who are loyal to Imagawa Ujima of Kakegawa Castle.

The Kano River is the border with the Hojo family. The Hojo family still has a lot of territory in Suruga, and the Takeda family cannot influence the samurai there.

Most of the land that Harunobu Takeda actually obtained was along the Fuji River and the Abe River, and it would not exceed [-] koku, which may not be enough for the Kai people who sent troops.

And in order to appease the Suruga people who came here, it is impossible for Takeda Harunobu to snatch their land, and the Kai people can get even less.

Therefore, Takeda Harunobu seems to have taken advantage of it, but in fact it leaves a lot of hidden dangers, and the Kai crowd may not be able to accommodate the Suruga crowd.But the Hojo family is coming fiercely, and the internal and external tests have just begun.

Yoshigin rolled his eyes at Uesugi Terutora.

Takeda Harunobu will only calculate things that Uesugi Terutora can think of, and whether to do it or not is a choice that weighs the pros and cons.The big names of the samurai family are very helpless, what can they do if they are riding on the back of a tiger?
Uesugi Terotora dismissed Takeda Harunobu.

On the one hand, she admired Wu Zi's honor of advancing to death and humiliation of retiring from life, and disapproved of Takeda Harunobu's admiration of grandson's strategy of attacking troops and secondly fighting with others.

On the other hand, the problem was with Yoshihiro Shiba.The more Yoshihiro admired Takeda Harunobu's approach, the more Uesugi Terutora dismissed it.

Everything that involves the relationship between a man and a woman has nothing to do with it, it's just a sour word.
