different warring states of japan

Chapter 932 Huihu was slapped in the face

Naoe Jinggang and Daxiong Chaoxiu looked at each other, and they already knew it in their hearts.

This girl Sanada Nobushige, who looks silly on weekdays, is really ruthless at critical moments.This is cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, leaving no future troubles.

Daxiong Chaoxiu asked.

"The gates of Songshan City and Gaoshan City were also opened by the insiders of the Ziye clan?"

Yoshihiro Shiba shook his head and said.

"Ikeda Shigean, an important minister of the Saito family, was in charge of guarding Songshan City, and she surrendered on her own initiative.

The close branches of the Saito family in Songshan City, and the important officials of Pu Dai also committed suicide one after another and followed the former master.

Takayama City seems to be frightened, and there are many warriors from the Ziye family in the city.When the enemy is present, he does not dare to kill the inside, nor can he guard against it.

Ikeda Shigean went to the city to persuade him, and the defenders of Gaoshan City followed suit and surrendered.

This time, there were no more loyal retainers who committed suicide. It was Saito's family who took the lead in surrendering, and Saito was real. "

When Shiba Yoshigin and the two were describing the military situation, Terotora Uesugi had already finished reading the battle report, and threw it aside, sneering.

"Suicide? Suicide!
This Sanada Nobushige is not simple, he is decisive in doing things, he is a talent. "

Uesugi Terutoro was quite annoyed by Sanada Nobushige's approach, because it hindered her strategic layout.

Uesugi Terotora inherited Uesugi Constitutional Government's position as the Kanto supervisor, and Uesugi's family name in Yamauchi, this is the political justice of her ability to go south to the Kanto Plain.

It is not clear how much appeal the Guandong Guanling has to the Kanto Wu family.However, as the long-term territory of the Yamauchi Uesugi family, almost all Ueno domestic samurai families have the background of Yamauchi Uesugi's retainers.

The two Nagao families in Ueno, the two Nagano families, and the wealthy Zhuwu families in the southeast plain were all nominally servants of the Uesugi family in the mountains.

Although these retainers are unreliable, rebelling from time to time and surrendering from time to time, they are just a group of fools.But as long as they can be suppressed by force, they will be able to pull up an army of local snakes to assist the Echigo army in fighting.

Echigo's mobilization force is about [-] or [-] shi, and [-] shi mobilizes two to three hundred people. Coupled with the support of various taxes and profits from the Yanbu miners, the maximum number of soldiers that can be dispatched this time is [-].

It is very difficult to expect [-] soldiers to pass through the Echigo Mountains, cross the Ueno Musashi and garrison the two countries, and defeat the Hojo family whose core territory is far to the south in the Sagami and Izu countries.

To get the best results, Terotora Uesugi must do three things.

First, ensure sufficient logistics.This is why the Echigo side paid special attention to the cities along the Tone River and tried their best to stabilize the water supply line.

Second, recruit the Kanto samurai to join the Echigo camp, mobilize their peasants and soldiers to ease the logistical pressure of the army, and use their military strength to cooperate with the army to fight.

Third, find a way to pull the Hojo family out to fight.The best battlefield would be Ueno country, followed by Musashi country. The worst result would be that the Hojo family sticks to the core territory of Sagami country.

Whether the Kanto Raiders can proceed smoothly depends on the extent to which these three points can be achieved.

And Sanada Nobushige's Azuma County Raiders destroyed Uesugi Terotora's first plan, and second, these two plans, especially the second point.

The Saito family in Rock Cabinet City is just a small character occupying a corner of Ueno.But the problem is that the destruction of this small character will cause the Ueno Samurai to feel uneasy.

The Ueno samurai family and even the Kanto samurai family were willing to accept Uesugi Terutora's southward move because Hojo Ujiyasu's territorial reform cut off the foundation for the local famous family to settle down.

To put it simply, the Hojo family wanted too much.As long as Echigo's asking price is low enough, these fools will come over immediately.They have all done this in more than a hundred years of war.

Therefore, Uesugi Terotora has been proving that his asking price is very low and he asks for very little.

Even if it's just to deceive them temporarily, it must be performed for them to see. First, unite with the local samurai to kill the Hojo family, and then it won't be too late.

But Nobushige Sanada directly destroyed a famous family that had been entrenched in Agatsuma County for hundreds of years, and was also a related family of Shirai Nagao's family. This would of course cause panic and doubts among the Kanto samurai family.

Uesugi Terutora is dreaming of doing justice for the heavens, and he is counting on Ueno, Musashi, and even Shimono, Shimoso, Hitachi and other samurai families to respond.

When the time comes, armies from all over the world will be gathered to help her, and she will besiege Odawara Castle with [-] troops, forcing Hojo Shiyasu to kneel down and call for mother.

This is a good time, Nobushige Sanada slapped him in the face, which startled the Ueno Takeshi family.This slap also slapped Uesugi Teruhu on the face, which woke most of her sweet dreams, how could she not be angry?
After reading the battle report, Terutora Uesugi believed most of the results of Nobushige Sanada's victory, and the Saito family in Rock Cabinet City should be really finished.

The problem now is that Nobushige Sanada has the help of the Shino family and is also an Odaiman of the Kanto Chamber.At most, Uesugi Terotora asked her to spit out a little territory to appease the emotions of the local samurai.

But Saito Nobuhiro's entire family is dead, even if Tian Xinshige can realistically make concessions, he can't even find the sufferer.When a person dies, does she decide for the ghost?
Behind the Saito family is the Shirai Nagao family, which in turn involves the relationship between the various families in the northern part of the Ueno country, which affects the stability of the supply line behind the Echigo army after it goes south.

Terutor Uesugi had a headache.

This also starts with the terrain in the northern part of Ueno Kingdom and the core territories of each family.

The northern part of Ueno is mainly divided by three mountains and two rivers, presenting a Y shape.

From west to east, there are Mount Haruna, Mount Zichi, and Mount Akagi.Mount Haruna and Mount Komochi sandwich the Agatsuma River, and Mount Komochi and Mount Akagi sandwich the Tone River.

The coastal alluvial plains and basins between the three mountains and the two rivers constitute the main grain-producing areas in the north, namely Yangui City and Numata City.

Iwakaki Castle controls one end of the Agatsuma River, and Numata Castle controls the source of the Tone River. The two rivers meet in the middle of the Y shape and continue to flow south.

The northernmost part of Ueno is mountainous and hilly. Whether it is the Saito family in Iwakai Castle or the Numata family, they are small roles in the eyes of truly powerful samurai.

The main Quartet forces in the central and northern part of Ueno are the two Naganos that expand from West Ueno to the southeast, and the two Nagaoes in the middle and upper reaches of the Tone River.

The West Ueno and Tone River basins are in CI form. The C-shape is the basin surrounded by the Nishi Ueno Mountains, and the I-shape is the Tone River after the confluence of the two rivers.

The upper part of the letter C is the Nagano family in Minowa City, and the lower part is the Kobata family in Kunimine City. Both are local samurai leaders, and they are now united under the command of Nagano Yezheng.

In the south, it guards the mountain pass leading to the Musashi Pass, which is Hirai Castle, the residence of the Uesugi family in the mountains before their demise.

At first, the Nagano family went south from Mt. Haruna.First, Minowa Castle was built at the southeast mountain pass.Then advance eastward to the Tone River Basin to build a city, which is Stable Bridge Castle.

Through these two key cities, the power of the Nagano family has greatly increased, and they have become the leaders of the samurai family in the West Ueno.

After the Nagano family multiplied and expanded, among the descendants, the two branches of the Nagano family in Minlun City and the Nagano family in Stable Bridge City were the most powerful.
