different warring states of japan

Chapter 938

This is equivalent to all the enemies joining hands and holding down the Hojo family together, which is far worse than the previous Echigo army going south.

Hojo Shiyasu closed his eyes, and the geographical conditions of this area emerged in his mind.

Kinyama Castle and Tatebayashi Castle in Ueno.Ashikaga Castle in Shimono, Karasawa Mountain Castle.Under the general Furukawa City.Hitachi's Xiaguan Castle and Xiazuma Castle.

Hojo Shiyasu sighed and opened his eyes.You really can't give up, just one hair will affect your whole body.

She asked her daughter Hojo Ujimasa.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that his mother's attitude was loose, the Hojo clan was overjoyed and expressed his strategy.

"In the northern part of Ueno, we really can't do anything. The Numata family, the Kohata family in Kunimine City, and the Nagano family in Stable Bridge City can only give up. But the southeastern samurai families in Ueno, we can fight.

I have calculated that even if the Echigo side tries its best to send troops, it is impossible for the number of soldiers to exceed [-]. This is the limit of mobilization.

Teruhu Uesugi had just arrived, so he never dared to leave all the rear to the defense of those local warriors facing Qin Muchu, so he must send people to guard the vital points.

The army went south, occupying important cities and towns along the way, and dividing troops to guard them.Advancing to the southeast of Ueno country, there may be less than [-] soldiers.

My family can mobilize the elites of Sagami and Izu, and I am willing to personally lead the army to Kagoe Castle.Together with the army under the command of Lord Gangcheng, at least [-] soldiers can be gathered.

I will surround anyone who dares to defect to Uesugi Terutora among the subordinate samurai families.At the front of both sides, my family's elite is twice as many as Echigo's soldiers, besieging the city, waiting for Uesugi Terutora to come to rescue.

If she dares to come, I will give her a two-for-one blow.If she doesn't dare to come, I will destroy the city and wipe out the people around me.

Seeing the end of the samurai family who took refuge in Uesugi Terutora, the other Kanto samurai must be silent, and they dare not have the idea of ​​​​departing from my family. "

Hojo Shiyasu couldn't help showing a hint of relief in his eyes when his daughter spoke impassionedly about the strategy.

Although the daughter sometimes seems mediocre, the Wu family still has courage and resourcefulness, and this strategy is indeed feasible.

Although Uesugi Terutora and the Echigo Samurai are famous for their bravery, Hojo Ujiyasu feels that his own elite is not bad.

Tactically, Hojo's heavy troops were placed in Kawagoe City.With the soldiers on their backs like a spear, no one from the northern families would dare to express their views easily and seek refuge with Uesugi Terutora.

There is Hojo Shizheng, the house governor, to sit in the town, and Hojo Tsunasari, the resolute general, will guard her.

If someone is really ignorant and dispatches twice as many troops to fight Uesugi Terutora in the field, the Hojo family will not suffer.If the battle situation is unfavorable, retreat slowly, or at worst return to the original conservative strategy.

Strategically, this is to replace defense with offense.As long as the southeast of Ueno country is not lost, the Kanto countries will not be able to make a fist.

The Kanto kingdoms saw clearly that Terutora Uesugi was incompetent, so she had no prestige to deter the princes, and the formation of the anti-Hojo alliance was impossible to talk about.

This strategy is stable and stable.

Hojo Shiyasu smiled and said.

"Since you have the heart, go ahead and do it. You are the governor of the Hojo family, and you should support the family business.

This time you are the general, with full authority over all the ministries ahead.Mobilize the Izu people, the Odawara people, and the elite from each family to fight with you.

Shizheng, calm your mind when things happen, don't be impatient, discuss with Gangcheng more, and get things done. "

The Hojo clan was so excited that he kowtowed to the ground and said.

"Don't worry, mother, I will live up to your expectations."

This was the first time Hojo Shiyasu let her do things freely. Although she was already the governor of the Hojo family, the whole family was still under the control of Hojo Shiyasu.

Hojo Shizheng wanted to prove to his mother, and to the Hojo family, that I was really, really, really good.

At this moment, she seemed to forget that she was scolded because of ochazuke and was so hungry that she was so hungry.

Yoshishi Ashikaga on the side laughed, bowed slightly to Yasushi Hojo, and asked.

"Your Highness Shikang, I have a heartless request."

Hojo Shiyasu returned the gift politely.

"Kamakura-den is too polite, please speak up if you have something to say."

"I want to take the troops from the headquarters and fight with His Royal Highness."

Yasushi Hojo froze for a moment, seeing Ashikaga Yoshishi's sincere attitude, he couldn't help but remain silent.

She understands Yoshishi Ashikaga's thoughts, Uesugi Terutora's going south is not only a trouble for the Hojo family, but also a big trouble for the new Kwantung general.

If you can perform well in this battle, it will be very good for stabilizing the status of the Kwantung General.But will this make her ambitious and cause more trouble for the Hojo family in the future?

Hojo Shiyasu pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"The Kamakura Palace intends to cut off traitors, how dare I stop it. Please also take care of the clan government along the way, and don't hesitate to give advice."

The two sides are in the honeymoon period, and the newly formed Hojo Ashikaga system is also considered effective.If she is not allowed to go at this time, the precautionary heart is too obvious, and everyone will lose face.

Ashikaga Yoshishi seemed to have no grudges, and said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Shi Kang, don't worry, His Royal Highness Shi Zheng is the general in charge of this battle. There is no distinction of superiority or inferiority in the battle, and I will obey the orders of the general."

Yasushi Hojo smiled and said nothing, Masaaki Hojo also smiled and bowed in thanks.

"You and my sister fight side by side, we must let Uesugi Shiba and other foreign careerists know how powerful we are."

Ashikaga Yoshihiro laughed.

"Not bad.

I would like to see if Shiba Yoshigin, the husband of Ashikaga Yoshiki, is really as handsome and brave as the legend says.

These Kansai people are not dead-hearted, and always want to come to my Kanto to make trouble.I must cut off his head and send it back to Kyoto, so that Ashikaga Yoshiki can remember it long. "

Hojo's political support said.

"Then you can be regarded as a delicate hand."

They were chatting and joking, but Hojo Genan on the side had a serious face and suggested to Hojo Ujiyasu.

"Your Highness Shikang, my family's strategy of abandoning the northern part of the Ueno Kingdom, do you want to polish it again.

The Numata family couldn't rescue them in time, so that's all.However, the Kohata family in Guofeng City is a big family in Nishi Ueno, and the Nagano family in Stable Bridge City is also quite powerful.Be careful with their arrangements. "

Hojo Shiyasu nodded and asked.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Since my family really can't do anything, let's just be honest.

Send back their affidavits of submission and tell them sincerely that we are beyond our power.Echigo's army went south, whether they fought or surrendered, my family can understand.

Give them back the choice, and they must be grateful to my family for their tolerance.If the situation changes in the future, I will negotiate with them again.

As for Ueno, Shimono, Shimoso, and the samurai families on the borders of the four countries in Hitachi, I will follow the wishes of Master Shizheng.

Send someone to warn them that our army is gathering at Heyue City.Whoever dares to vote for Uesugi Huihu will face the disaster of extermination. "

Hojo Shiyasu nodded.

"It's hard work for you, Auntie."

Hojo Genan bowed and answered.

"It's my job.

It's just that the samurai families in the Kanto region are deeply hostile to my family. Even if the situation is clear, I think some people will take the risk and raise troops to respond to Terutora Uesugi. "

Hojo Shiyasu said calmly.

"What should come will always come, and Auntie doesn't have to worry too much. When the time comes, let Shi Zheng lead the army to persuade him."

"Hi!"
