Pillars of the Wu family
Chapter 427 1 Xiangzong's Panic
Uesugi Masatora looked suspiciously at Kaga Ichikui who was running faster and faster with his back turned to him. He didn't quite understand Kaga Ichikui's intention of doing this. What kind of new tactic is this? Now that I see the actual effect, I realize that this is not a new tactic at all, but it is really just an escape rather than other back tricks.
"Facing my family in a desperate battle may still have a chance of survival. If you turn your back on your family, you are seeking your own death!" Masatora Uesugi snorted coldly, and ordered the cavalry to join forces with Shigecho Honjo and others. Qian's huge cavalry team has fully released the power of the Kira family's monopoly on the Hokuriku Horse Administration.
Saito Chaoxin, Kakizaki Keie, Hojo Takahiro, Honjo Shigeru, Kurokawa Kiyomi, Yasuda Keimoto, Yoshie Keisuke, Arakawa Nagami, Ueno Iecheng, and Shoda Setsuke gathered around him. Seeing this Masatora Uesugi couldn't help but lament the rapid changes in the world with the familiar faces. Six years ago, he experienced a life where only one country guarded him, and now he has won a huge reputation in the vast territories of Hokuriku and Kanto.
In the past, I didn't realize how much the change had been. It wasn't until my retainers had become generals of one party and one town that they gathered again in front of Tetorigawa to show how fast the changes in these years have been. He quietly swept everyone's face and sighed secretly. : "Only Yoshitoki can achieve this step. It will definitely not be so powerful if it is done by our own family. At most, we can eat Kawanakajima to maintain the front line, control Ueno country and then plan to enter Kanto!"
Numata Yumitsu noticed that Uesugi Masatora seemed to be lost in memory, and reminded in a low voice: "General! You can go out!"
"Yeah!" Uesugi Masatora woke up immediately, realizing that this is not the best time to recall the past, so he ordered: "Go out! Defeat the Kaga Ichikui army, and then wait for the opportunity to capture Nomi County! Don't give them a chance to turn around !"
"Ha!" More than a dozen generals galloped out immediately, and then the 2 cavalry team turned into two arrows and circled towards Kaga's usual flank. Kaga Ichikui General Wakabayashi Nagato guarded the headquarters, and the iron hooves rumbled for a while. The Kaga Ichikui army, who had never seen so many cavalry teams, was even more frightened.
"Retreat! Don't stop. Retreat immediately!" Xikoji Shinji gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Hayaya Gozaemon, Takabi Ishimi, Erqu Sakyo Shoshin, Suzuki Dewa to lead the troops to support Wakabayashi Nagamon, we must Block the attack of the Kira army, otherwise Nomi County will fall! We will all die and die!"
The defeat has become unstoppable, Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao can only make up for it and wait for it to happen before it is too late. It is a pity that the morale of this group of troops who have always been one Kui army is too low. Four generals led by [-] troops are still unable to stop Kira after the situation is broken. With the attack of the legion, the [-] army soon exposed the gaps between the formations due to poor communication and coordination.Being pierced by seven thousand cavalry teams, two huge gaps were dug out, and the already uneven army was divided into pieces. [
Afterwards, the ashigaru team that caught up broke down the formation guarded by Wakabayashi Nagato with a wave of assault. The front formation was broken, causing the rear formation to be routed. The chain reaction triggered caused the subsequent dozens of formations to collapse.
The wailers and servants from all walks of life turned around and ran for their lives, smashing the main formation guarded by Ruobin Changmen to pieces.Under the protection of the banner warrior, he can only turn around and run away. The general collapses into a total collapse when he runs. Everyone runs faster than anyone else, and who lasts longer, but how can two legs win four? Where are the legs?
An important function of the cavalry is to chase down the routs. The faster the routs run, the more they will kill, because they are all busy running for their lives and using all their energy to run, so they don't have the strength to defend against the surprise attack behind them.Therefore, what the cavalry warriors are most willing to do is to chase and kill the rout. It is safe and fast, which is the favorite way for the cavalry to do meritorious service.
Uesugi Masatora did not follow up to attack. As a general, he has long been used to this kind of murder and attack. He used to be happy to rush up and chop off a few heads to show his bravery. As he got older, he often commanded troops. Outside, there is no need to charge forward to show that he is not inferior to the tyrannical force of a first-class general.
Under the protection of five hundred horsemen, they quietly waited for the end of the war, but after a while, an envoy reported the situation ahead, and Wakabayashi Chang's gatekeeper was asked by Honzhuang Fanchang.Hayatani Gozaemon was claimed by Arakawa Nagami, Erqu Sakyo Shoshin was claimed by Kurokawa Kiyomi, Suzuki Dewamori was claimed by Ueno Isari, Hojo Takahiro came a step behind and did not get the credit, and he was angry with the unknown The Fangguan vented his anger, and so on, news came to his ears one after another.
Among them was the news that Yumitsu Numata methodically split several retreating armies, and remained unmoved by the rush to attack. Masatora Uesugi nodded thoughtfully: "There is one side who is not in a hurry, is not impatient, is not arrogant, and is not discouraged." The general's boldness, military strategy and talent are also top-notch. It's just that the gap in his chest still needs to be polished, and he will become a general not inferior to Honjo Misaku in the future! Sadoden has a good eye for someone!"
When Uesugi Masatora commented on him, he unconsciously regarded him as a senior. In fact, Numata Yumitsu was two years older than Honjo Shigecho, and only seven years younger than Uesugi Masatora.It's just because he has been following Yamamoto Tokiko to practice military strategy all these years, it is always easy to be quietly forgotten by everyone.
After several years of precipitation, Numata Yumitsu has the qualifications to lead an army alone, and his experience in the army has also been rapidly enriched with a series of battles in Etsuchu and Kaga. He is brave and good at fighting, Shima Toki's intelligence and bravery are valued by Kira Yoshitoki and Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and he is not as clever as Honda Tatoki, which makes people hard to guard against, but his calm and low-key temperament is just the most suitable for Yamamoto Toki A disciple who is fortunate to pass on the mantle.
Shima Tokatsu is already a general of a town reserve team. Over the years, he has formed his own military strategy system following the suggestions of Kira Yoshinori. What he learned from Yamamoto Tokiyuki is only based on his own military strategy. , Ben has been specializing in wisdom and political strategy for a long time. He has an excellent talent for counseling, and he loves to read books at a glance. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of reading and formed his own system.
Neither of these two people can tolerate Tokiyuki Yamamoto's system that has been polished for decades, just like Yoshitomo Kira has his own system that cannot tolerate Tokyo Yamamoto's system. People who are too talented always have their own ideas. It is of course not a problem to think of a new path of one's own on the original path. The historical trend is irreversible, but such a person is very unsuitable as an inheritor.
Just like swordsmanship masters who practice swordsmanship and military art always create their own sects after leaving the teacher, such as the Tomita-style school under the Nakajo school, or the Kannamo-ryu under the Tomita school.People who are too smart have to start their own business when they figure out new things, so the smartest apprentices will go out and start their own businesses, and only the most stable disciples who are not the smartest will inherit the mantle passed down by the master.
Numata Yumitsu is not the smartest person, unlike the apprentices Tokyuki Yamamoto received who were all talented geniuses, he has always been a talent who has grown up steadily step by step, and if he can barely be counted as a genius, he can only be considered a genius. Talents who can be regarded as hardworking geniuses become geniuses through hard work.
Tokiyuki Yamamoto likes him for that.When he was young, he also liked very smart children, but as he grew older, he found that these children were too smart and would always shift their interest after learning some of his skills and learn something they were more interested in, even when it was Kirayoshi. It is also a choice to learn what he taught, not to mention the other two apprentices who became monks halfway.
Numata Yuguang worked hard to accept what Yamamoto Tokiyuki taught, including military strategy, intellectual strategy, political strategy, including fortification techniques and even the way of life and so on.Especially in the military strategy part, the teaching is the most detailed, from the way to use troops for generals, the judgment of the situation and the choices that should be made, to the familiarity with the mountains and rivers and the changes of yin and yang, and gradually improve the general strategy to the top level among first-class generals. High-level impact requires not only hard work, but more talent.
Masatora Uesugi had several good teachers.From Mengshi Tianshi Guangyu to cultural teacher Tailian Mencha, to Honjo Misaku Shunino who is both civil and military, they all brought great help to his character building in his childhood, but he has achieved today More of it comes from his astonishing talent in war. [
Just as Kira Yoshitoshi's understanding of military strategy and strategy has exceeded ordinary people's expectations, Uesugi Masatora's judgment of the war situation and his fleeting grasp of the enemy's response are almost incomprehensible. Winning joint battles that others can't fight and can't win, this is his strongest point.At the same time, it is also the unique talent of this era, and even Kira Yoshitoshi could not do this.
He has enough ability and qualifications to examine Numata Yumitsu who is only seven years younger than him. He is one of the few samurai in Echigo who has this qualification. His affirmation shows that Numata Yumitsu is indeed a very good general. In the future The direction of the future may be Honjo Mino, who is both civil and military, and has become a pillar-level general of the Kira family.
The battle lasted for another hour, and finally the Zhenjiao of Xiguang Temple led an army of 3000 to abandon Jiansheng Village and flee to Hotan Mountain City where Hotan Chaosheng Temple is located.In addition, the retreating [-] troops barely squeezed into the Jiansheng village before it was declared over. The battle lasted only a short morning, and nearly [-] heads were captured by joint attacks, and more than [-] prisoners were captured alive.
In fact, there were as many as 1 prisoners captured alive.But because the captives of the Yi Kui Army who were captured resisted very fiercely, in the end they had to be ruthless and kill them with one knife. Killing one or two would not work to deter these prisoners, so they had to kill more than 3000 people in one go. Just deter the remaining [-] captives and never dare to make trouble again.
Excluding some of the losses caused by Honjo Shigecho and Numata Yumitsu, on average, each horse-riding warrior had more than one and a half beheads. In fact, the reason why there was no battle of annihilation was that Uesugi Masatora was unwilling to outflank with seven thousand fine knights Cutting off Kaga's usual back route, although huge results can be achieved in this way, at least half of the 2 horse-riding warriors will die, and maybe [-] or [-] people will be able to escape if the entire army is wiped out.
This is the greatest result achieved with the least amount of effort. It is a great victory to kill more than 3000 people without much damage and capture more than 7000 people. Mounted warriors may not be able to expand the Warring States much in the end.
It is the most stupid tactic for the cavalry to stand still and block the attack. They lose their movement speed and are not as powerful as dismounted samurai, but if they dismount, they become a mounted infantry, which is a huge waste for the most elite Echigo cavalry. The pride of the warriors will not allow them to turn themselves back into the poor mounted infantry they once were.
In these years, Kira Yoshitoshi has always advocated the role of improving riding skills, and introduced the concept of mounted infantry in detail. Since then, no samurai who can ride a horse is willing to be a samurai who dismounts. Of course, no one in this army has dared to refuse the general The person who ordered it, but Uesugi Masatora didn't intend to do this. It would take a heavy price to kill all the Isagui here, and the perfect victory turned into a miserable victory.Even if he wins the war in the end, it is no different from losing in his eyes.
After all, they fight more with less, with 6 troops surrounded by more than [-] Yikui troops. It is very dangerous to encircle a strong force with inferior forces. The battle against Tongmu, which has an absolute advantage in the world, is not Koshinaka Koyabegawa here. It is impossible for him to copy the tactics he has used and use them here again, time and place.The characters and situations are different, so forcibly copying will suffer a lot.
So he just killed nearly 1 people and chose to drive them away. He chose to cross Tetorigawa for two purposes. The first is to use powerful force to deter Echizen Ichikui's troops and make them completely give up on regaining their lost Ishikawa County and Hebei County retain any illusions.The second one is to mop up the people in Nomi County who are capable of threatening the safety of the Tatorigawa waterway. The ones who are killed are chilled and trembling. They want to massacre and deter the living forces in the four counties of Kaga as much as possible, so as to ensure that the two counties are not controlled. will be disturbed.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Iron Artillery Team and Baking Team of the Kira Navy quickly landed and launched an attack on Jianshengzhai. It was the first time for Kuki Shigetaka's son, Kuki Ryuchi, to preside over such a large-scale battle as the general of the Navy Army. Only young people were responsible for cooperating with Uesugi Masatora. The attack of "Lu" and "Lu" knocked open the defensive force of Jianshengzhai.
The morale of the defenders in the Jiansheng village was lacking and the command was inconsistent. The main general Xiguangsi Zhenjiao led the main force back to Hetian Mountain City and completely abandoned this small city.Moreover, this city is not a strong defensive body, and it will soon be unable to hold on under the impact of the iron cannon suppressing the siege hammer. Before the city is broken, all the officials from all walks of life are like the eight immortals crossing the sea. Each of them escaped faster than the other .
Some escaped and some did not. Ten thousand defenders fled in all directions and seven thousand were forced to surrender after the city gate was breached. Most of the fleeing officials did not end well. The [-] cavalry team led by Kakizaki Jingjia, Honjo Shigecho and others ambushed at the entrances of various streets early, and caught the fleeing Ichikui army one by one.After capturing more than half of the defeated army, the subsequent defeated army wisely chose to flee over the mountains.
On the second day after taking down the Shengshengzhai, the news that Kaga had suffered a disastrous defeat and lost nearly half of it was sent back to Echizen. Chaoshengji Jiaofang couldn't understand why he failed so easily, and the Asakura Army seemed to be stepped up to deal with it after receiving accurate news. Echizen's invasion and the huge military pressure from both sides made him wisely give up his plan to continue fighting, and he sent envoys to ask for help from Ishiyama Honganji Temple.At the same time, envoys were sent to Echizen Ichijodani and Kaga Kanazawa Gobo to negotiate peace.
On the seventh day after the capture of the Shengshengzhai, the Konkyozayama Castle and Nabegu Castle near Tichuan River were captured, and Erqu Castle and Togoshi Castle in the upper reaches of the Tetori River were also lost due to the killing of the city lord.Seto Maruyama Castle and Zozakikan Kaicheng in the upper reaches of the Tottori River surrendered, and the guards of Iwakura Castle, Oyama Castle, and Iwabuchi Castle, which were surrounded on all sides, also abandoned the castle and fled soon after. It was time for the invasion to end, because the messengers of the Asakura family and Kaga Izumozong had already arrived at the front line.
The messenger of the Asakura family is the governor of the Asakura family, who is the governor of the Asakura family, and Asakura Keiren, the lord of Asakura Mountain, who serves as one of the two positions of the Ichijo Valley. When he saw Uesugi Masatora, he strongly questioned that the Kira family did not abide by the covenant , Unauthorizedly launching an attack on Nomi County, which took the southern bank of Sichuan, the Asakura family expressed great indignation at this untrustworthy behavior of the Kira family.
Asakura Keiren would make such a vehement statement that he didn't really intend to do anything to the Kira family. Leaving aside the astonishing record of 12 annihilating 3 that was rumored in the market, it was just a few days ago that the joint battle of Jianshengzhai was fought. In the war of [-] against [-], not only did they achieve a complete victory, beheading [-] captives and [-] captives, but also killed a total of [-] captives in the subsequent siege and pursuit battle. Such an amazing record even Asakura It was impossible for the family's Dinghai Shenzhen Asakura Zongdi to do it when he was alive.
It is undeniable that Asakura Sodi has always faced Kaga's main elites in his life, and Uesugi Masatora's amazing record in the battle of Jianshengzhai is largely due to Kaga's inconsistent army. The reason for poor command and coordination, but no matter how many objective reasons it is, they may not be able to achieve the same effect. At least the Asakura family does not have [-] elite cavalry teams, and it is even more impossible to exchange for Kaga Yixiang Yikui with a small loss. More than ten thousand people were killed and captured.
Asakura Keiran scolded angrily and found that the effect was almost the same. Uesugi Masatora sat in meditation with a rosary in his face, Kakizaki Keike held his tiger's whiskers like a smile, and Saito Asanobu's gaze was inadvertently swept over as sharp and cold as a blade. He seemed to be expressing his disdain for the arrogant starer of Fanzhuang Fanchang with his voice.Takahiro Hojo, Kiyomi Kurokawa and the others were not that over the top, but there was a somewhat disdainful expression in their eyes.
Under the sneers and gazes of these arrogant soldiers, Chao Cang Jinglian realized that he had to find a step down for himself, and coughed dryly: "My lord understands the urgency of the main hall to eradicate Kaga. From today Considering that all the land occupied by the Kira family in Nomi County belongs to you, the agreement between the two parties is still valid, but how about redrawing the middle line here?"
Before coming here, he had already quietly observed the [-] elite of Kira's army.In particular, the [-] cavalry team swept across half of Nomi County and captured the tyrannical believers in Nomi County. Before this war, the Asakura family had a strong national power against the Echigo Kingdom and the Kira family had a strong military. Both have always lacked the impression of a system.
In Ichijodani Castle of Echizen Country, there was always a voice that felt that Echigo Kira’s house was nothing more than that, and that the distance had nothing to do with us.Only when I saw it today did I realize that all this is close to my eyes, and these 3 people are the powerful army that wiped out 12 captives and defeated [-] Kaga Yizang after the invasion of Kaga. The news has not yet come And spread it to Kinai, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar. He really can't imagine that if he recklessly offends the Kira family, he will suffer heavy losses like Kaga has always been.
Uesugi Masatora did not intend to leave Asakura Keiren alone.Responded politely: "Xuanbo Zhudian should know the reason why we crossed the Tatori River. The covenant between the Ashikaga family and the Asakura family is to eradicate Kaga Izuku Ichiku together, and then divide the territory according to their respective spheres of influence. Today, I am three Wan Jingrui took the first step to capture the two northern counties, and the Asakura family has not yet entered Kaga, and he has launched an attack with an army of [-] troops, if our army does not move, how can we ensure the safety of Tetorigawa?"
"... Exactly!" Asakura Keiren really didn't know how to answer, the covenant between the two parties was only to carve up Kaga country.It is not a so-called unbreakable blood alliance, not even an ordinary alliance of in-laws. This kind of interest alliance is neither reliable nor stable, and it may be shelved or even terminated at any time.
The covenant signed by the two parties is true, but the actual demarcation effect is still determined by strength. For example, if the Asakura family suddenly made an effort to defeat Echizen Ichikui, and then invaded Kaga in one fell swoop to seize the four counties of Kaga and Kanazawa Gobo.At that time, Ishikawa County and Hebei County will definitely not be spit out according to the covenant, and the Kira family cannot be asked to spit out the territory of Nomi County by the same token.
It's really difficult for him to take the covenant and insist on taking back the initiative in the negotiation. Most of the shogunate signs can't hold back these reckless Echigo, and maybe they will self-defeating and tear up the covenant.At that time, the Kira Army will aggressively attack the Kaga country, and Nomi and Enuma counties will soon fall into their hands. The remnants of the Kaga Ichikozong will become pure Echizen Ichikozong when they enter Echizen. Lose more.
Seeing Asakura Keiren's depressed look of wanting to speak but not daring to speak, Uesugi Masatora smiled and said: "Then Genbozuo can understand our reason for attacking Nomi County? Invasion, this Wada Chaosho Temple must be pulled out, so that the safety of the entire Tetori River can be guaranteed, and Motoyoshi Minato can also rest in peace. It must be used in Tsuruga Port, and the Asakura family in Mikuni Minato does not need this little one. a seaport of the
"A small...seaport...yes! We don't really need it!" Asakura Keiren continued this with a bitter face, and Mitsuchicho turned into "a small seaport" for him to talk about.
The Kira family was obviously unwilling to share Tetorigawa's convenience with the Asakura family. Even though Asakura Kelian knew that this would damage the Asakura family's interests, he couldn't find a way to stop it. If you can't reach the front line of Handorigawa in the central part of Kaga country, even if you reach it, you have to weigh whether it can withstand the powerful combat power of the Kira Army.
This is an era when power is the truth, hard fists are tough words, not to mention that Uesugi Masatora's request is reasonable, even if he proposes to amend the boundary line now, and use Nomi County and Enuma County as the division of power, he will not Fang Fang insisted on rejecting this proposal, but if he did so, the covenant would definitely be completely broken. Now he can be sure that the Kira family will not do such an irrational act.
According to the original negotiation plan made in Yicheng Valley, it must be a loss, but today is not the same as in the past. When he left Yicheng Valley, the battle of Jian Shengzhai had not yet started, and the Asakura family just received Kaga. After receiving the news, he was urgently sent to contact the Kira family to agree to eliminate Kaga Ichikozong and reaffirm their respective spheres of influence.
When Asakura Jinglian ran to Kanazawa Gobo and found that he was in vain, and then came to the front line of Jianshengzhai, he realized that half of Nomi County had been captured in just seven or eight days. Maybe he came half a year later It is not certain that Yue will really go outside Enuma County. As the diplomat of the Asakura family, he has no way out. He could only give up part of the benefits with a bitter face.
He didn't choose to procrastinate because he wanted to avoid having too many nights and dreams. In the event of an accident in Kaga Kingdom, the meaning of his existence as an envoy would be close to that. At that time, he would not only be unable to fight for the due interests of the Asakura family, but would also ruin such a situation. The timing was great, so Asakura Keiren decided to sign a new agreement even though he knew he would lose money.
Asakura Keren got an unsatisfactory answer and left in a hurry. Uesugi Masatora also received the envoy of Kaga Issouji Senshuji Kenkai. When compared with the Honganji sect, people in the world call it the Honganji sect with scorn from Ichigo, but praise the Takada sect's Honyama Ise Senshuji.
In the sixth year of Kansho (1465), Lianru of Honganji Temple confronted Zhenhui of Senshuji Temple of the Takada School. He fled to Kantian in a panic, and then fled to Hokuriku after the Onin Rebellion.
As Honganji Renjo was fully suppressed by Enryakuji Temple, Zenshuji Zhenhui also aroused suppression within the Jodo Shinshu of Hokuriku Province because of his actions against Honganji Renjo, so he had to abandon the missionary work in Hokuriku Province and go to Ise Kokichida established Ryojuin Temple, and then transferred Senshuji Temple to Ise Ryojuin Temple. The remaining Senshuji Temple stayed in Kaga to continue to develop and gradually merged into Honganji sect.
The Zenshuji Xianhui is an influential and learned monk in the Kaga Ichiko sect. He usually does some copywriting work with excellent pen skills, or goes back and forth between Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Echizen Chaoshoji Temple. This time he was sent to act as a diplomat The envoy was also a naive move. The few diplomatic monks who were originally in Kaga either died in Echu, or were captured in Kanazawa Gobo as prisoners.

"Facing my family in a desperate battle may still have a chance of survival. If you turn your back on your family, you are seeking your own death!"

He quietly swept everyone's face and sighed secretly. : "Only Yoshitoki can achieve this step. It will definitely not be so powerful if it is done by our own family. At most, we can eat Kawanakajima to maintain the front line, control Ueno country and then plan to enter Kanto!"
Numata Yumitsu noticed that Uesugi Masatora seemed to be lost in memory, and reminded in a low voice: "General! You can go out!"
"Yeah!" Uesugi Masatora woke up immediately, realizing that this is not the best time to recall the past, so he ordered: "Go out! Defeat the Kaga Ichikui army, and then wait for the opportunity to capture Nomi County! Don't give them a chance to turn around !"
"Ha!" More than a dozen generals galloped out immediately, and then the 2 cavalry team turned into two arrows and circled towards Kaga's usual flank. Kaga Ichikui General Wakabayashi Nagato guarded the headquarters, and the iron hooves rumbled for a while. The Kaga Ichikui army, who had never seen so many cavalry teams, was even more frightened.
"Retreat! Don't stop. Retreat immediately!" Xikoji Shinji gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Hayaya Gozaemon, Takabi Ishimi, Erqu Sakyo Shoshin, Suzuki Dewa to lead the troops to support Wakabayashi Nagamon, we must Block the attack of the Kira army, otherwise Nomi County will fall! We will all die and die!"
The defeat has become unstoppable, Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao can only make up for it and wait for it to happen before it is too late. It is a pity that the morale of this group of troops who have always been one Kui army is too low. Four generals led by [-] troops are still unable to stop Kira after the situation is broken.

Neither of these two people can tolerate Tokiyuki Yamamoto's system that has been polished for decades, just like Yoshitomo Kira has his own system that cannot tolerate Tokyo Yamamoto's system. People who are too talented always have their own ideas. It is of course not a problem to think of a new path of one's own on the original path. The historical trend is irreversible, but such a person is very unsuitable as an inheritor.
Just like swordsmanship masters who practice swordsmanship and military art always create their own sects after leaving the teacher, such as the Tomita-style school under the Nakajo school, or the Kannamo-ryu under the Tomita school.People who are too smart have to start their own business when they figure out new things, so the smartest apprentices will go out and start their own businesses, and only the most stable disciples who are not the smartest will inherit the mantle passed down by the master.
Numata Yumitsu is not the smartest person, unlike the apprentices Tokyuki Yamamoto received who were all talented geniuses, he has always been a talent who has grown up steadily step by step, and if he can barely be counted as a genius, he can only be considered a genius. Talents who can be regarded as hardworking geniuses become geniuses through hard work.
Tokiyuki Yamamoto likes him for that.When he was young, he also liked very smart children, but as he grew older, he found that these children were too smart and would always shift their interest after learning some of his skills and learn something they were more interested in, even when it was Kirayoshi. It is also a choice to learn what he taught, not to mention the other two apprentices who became monks halfway.
Numata Yuguang worked hard to accept what Yamamoto Tokiyuki taught, including military strategy, intellectual strategy, political strategy, including fortification techniques and even the way of life and so on.Especially in the military strategy part, the teaching is the most detailed, from the way to use troops for generals, the judgment of the situation and the choices that should be made, to the familiarity with the mountains and rivers and the changes of yin and yang, and gradually improve the general strategy to the top level among first-class generals. High-level impact requires not only hard work, but more talent.
Masatora Uesugi had several good teachers.From Mengshi Tianshi Guangyu to cultural teacher Tailian Mencha, to Honjo Misaku Shunino who is both civil and military, they all brought great help to his character building in his childhood, but he has achieved today More of it comes from his astonishing talent in war. [
Just as Kira Yoshitoshi's understanding of military strategy and strategy has exceeded ordinary people's expectations, Uesugi Masatora's judgment of the war situation and his fleeting grasp of the enemy's response are almost incomprehensible. Winning joint battles that others can't fight and can't win, this is his strongest point.At the same time, it is also the unique talent of this era, and even Kira Yoshitoshi could not do this.
He has enough ability and qualifications to examine Numata Yumitsu who is only seven years younger than him. He is one of the few samurai in Echigo who has this qualification. His affirmation shows that Numata Yumitsu is indeed a very good general. In the future The direction of the future may be Honjo Mino, who is both civil and military, and has become a pillar-level general of the Kira family.
The battle lasted for another hour, and finally the Zhenjiao of Xiguang Temple led an army of 3000 to abandon Jiansheng Village and flee to Hotan Mountain City where Hotan Chaosheng Temple is located.In addition, the retreating [-] troops barely squeezed into the Jiansheng village before it was declared over. The battle lasted only a short morning, and nearly [-] heads were captured by joint attacks, and more than [-] prisoners were captured alive.
In fact, there were as many as 1 prisoners captured alive.But because the captives of the Yi Kui Army who were captured resisted very fiercely, in the end they had to be ruthless and kill them with one knife. Killing one or two would not work to deter these prisoners, so they had to kill more than 3000 people in one go. Just deter the remaining [-] captives and never dare to make trouble again.
Excluding some of the losses caused by Honjo Shigecho and Numata Yumitsu, on average, each horse-riding warrior had more than one and a half beheads. In fact, the reason why there was no battle of annihilation was that Uesugi Masatora was unwilling to outflank with seven thousand fine knights Cutting off Kaga's usual back route, although huge results can be achieved in this way, at least half of the 2 horse-riding warriors will die, and maybe [-] or [-] people will be able to escape if the entire army is wiped out.
This is the greatest result achieved with the least amount of effort. It is a great victory to kill more than 3000 people without much damage and capture more than 7000 people. Mounted warriors may not be able to expand the Warring States much in the end.
It is the most stupid tactic for the cavalry to stand still and block the attack. They lose their movement speed and are not as powerful as dismounted samurai, but if they dismount, they become a mounted infantry, which is a huge waste for the most elite Echigo cavalry. The pride of the warriors will not allow them to turn themselves back into the poor mounted infantry they once were.
In these years, Kira Yoshitoshi has always advocated the role of improving riding skills, and introduced the concept of mounted infantry in detail. Since then, no samurai who can ride a horse is willing to be a samurai who dismounts. Of course, no one in this army has dared to refuse the general The person who ordered it, but Uesugi Masatora didn't intend to do this. It would take a heavy price to kill all the Isagui here, and the perfect victory turned into a miserable victory.Even if he wins the war in the end, it is no different from losing in his eyes.
After all, they fight more with less, with 6 troops surrounded by more than [-] Yikui troops. It is very dangerous to encircle a strong force with inferior forces. The battle against Tongmu, which has an absolute advantage in the world, is not Koshinaka Koyabegawa here. It is impossible for him to copy the tactics he has used and use them here again, time and place.The characters and situations are different, so forcibly copying will suffer a lot.
So he just killed nearly 1 people and chose to drive them away. He chose to cross Tetorigawa for two purposes. The first is to use powerful force to deter Echizen Ichikui's troops and make them completely give up on regaining their lost Ishikawa County and Hebei County retain any illusions.The second one is to mop up the people in Nomi County who are capable of threatening the safety of the Tatorigawa waterway. The ones who are killed are chilled and trembling. They want to massacre and deter the living forces in the four counties of Kaga as much as possible, so as to ensure that the two counties are not controlled. will be disturbed.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Iron Artillery Team and Baking Team of the Kira Navy quickly landed and launched an attack on Jianshengzhai. It was the first time for Kuki Shigetaka's son, Kuki Ryuchi, to preside over such a large-scale battle as the general of the Navy Army. Only young people were responsible for cooperating with Uesugi Masatora. The attack of "Lu" and "Lu" knocked open the defensive force of Jianshengzhai.
The morale of the defenders in the Jiansheng village was lacking and the command was inconsistent. The main general Xiguangsi Zhenjiao led the main force back to Hetian Mountain City and completely abandoned this small city.Moreover, this city is not a strong defensive body, and it will soon be unable to hold on under the impact of the iron cannon suppressing the siege hammer. Before the city is broken, all the officials from all walks of life are like the eight immortals crossing the sea. Each of them escaped faster than the other .
Some escaped and some did not. Ten thousand defenders fled in all directions and seven thousand were forced to surrender after the city gate was breached. Most of the fleeing officials did not end well. The [-] cavalry team led by Kakizaki Jingjia, Honjo Shigecho and others ambushed at the entrances of various streets early, and caught the fleeing Ichikui army one by one.After capturing more than half of the defeated army, the subsequent defeated army wisely chose to flee over the mountains.
On the second day after taking down the Shengshengzhai, the news that Kaga had suffered a disastrous defeat and lost nearly half of it was sent back to Echizen. Chaoshengji Jiaofang couldn't understand why he failed so easily, and the Asakura Army seemed to be stepped up to deal with it after receiving accurate news. Echizen's invasion and the huge military pressure from both sides made him wisely give up his plan to continue fighting, and he sent envoys to ask for help from Ishiyama Honganji Temple.At the same time, envoys were sent to Echizen Ichijodani and Kaga Kanazawa Gobo to negotiate peace.
On the seventh day after the capture of the Shengshengzhai, the Konkyozayama Castle and Nabegu Castle near Tichuan River were captured, and Erqu Castle and Togoshi Castle in the upper reaches of the Tetori River were also lost due to the killing of the city lord.Seto Maruyama Castle and Zozakikan Kaicheng in the upper reaches of the Tottori River surrendered, and the guards of Iwakura Castle, Oyama Castle, and Iwabuchi Castle, which were surrounded on all sides, also abandoned the castle and fled soon after. It was time for the invasion to end, because the messengers of the Asakura family and Kaga Izumozong had already arrived at the front line.
The messenger of the Asakura family is the governor of the Asakura family, who is the governor of the Asakura family, and Asakura Keiren, the lord of Asakura Mountain, who serves as one of the two positions of the Ichijo Valley. When he saw Uesugi Masatora, he strongly questioned that the Kira family did not abide by the covenant , Unauthorizedly launching an attack on Nomi County, which took the southern bank of Sichuan, the Asakura family expressed great indignation at this untrustworthy behavior of the Kira family.
Asakura Keiren would make such a vehement statement that he didn't really intend to do anything to the Kira family. Leaving aside the astonishing record of 12 annihilating 3 that was rumored in the market, it was just a few days ago that the joint battle of Jianshengzhai was fought. In the war of [-] against [-], not only did they achieve a complete victory, beheading [-] captives and [-] captives, but also killed a total of [-] captives in the subsequent siege and pursuit battle. Such an amazing record even Asakura It was impossible for the family's Dinghai Shenzhen Asakura Zongdi to do it when he was alive.
It is undeniable that Asakura Sodi has always faced Kaga's main elites in his life, and Uesugi Masatora's amazing record in the battle of Jianshengzhai is largely due to Kaga's inconsistent army. The reason for poor command and coordination, but no matter how many objective reasons it is, they may not be able to achieve the same effect. At least the Asakura family does not have [-] elite cavalry teams, and it is even more impossible to exchange for Kaga Yixiang Yikui with a small loss. More than ten thousand people were killed and captured.
Asakura Keiran scolded angrily and found that the effect was almost the same. Uesugi Masatora sat in meditation with a rosary in his face, Kakizaki Keike held his tiger's whiskers like a smile, and Saito Asanobu's gaze was inadvertently swept over as sharp and cold as a blade. He seemed to be expressing his disdain for the arrogant starer of Fanzhuang Fanchang with his voice.Takahiro Hojo, Kiyomi Kurokawa and the others were not that over the top, but there was a somewhat disdainful expression in their eyes.
Under the sneers and gazes of these arrogant soldiers, Chao Cang Jinglian realized that he had to find a step down for himself, and coughed dryly: "My lord understands the urgency of the main hall to eradicate Kaga. From today Considering that all the land occupied by the Kira family in Nomi County belongs to you, the agreement between the two parties is still valid, but how about redrawing the middle line here?"
Before coming here, he had already quietly observed the [-] elite of Kira's army.In particular, the [-] cavalry team swept across half of Nomi County and captured the tyrannical believers in Nomi County. Before this war, the Asakura family had a strong national power against the Echigo Kingdom and the Kira family had a strong military. Both have always lacked the impression of a system.
In Ichijodani Castle of Echizen Country, there was always a voice that felt that Echigo Kira’s house was nothing more than that, and that the distance had nothing to do with us.Only when I saw it today did I realize that all this is close to my eyes, and these 3 people are the powerful army that wiped out 12 captives and defeated [-] Kaga Yizang after the invasion of Kaga. The news has not yet come And spread it to Kinai, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar. He really can't imagine that if he recklessly offends the Kira family, he will suffer heavy losses like Kaga has always been.
Uesugi Masatora did not intend to leave Asakura Keiren alone.Responded politely: "Xuanbo Zhudian should know the reason why we crossed the Tatori River. The covenant between the Ashikaga family and the Asakura family is to eradicate Kaga Izuku Ichiku together, and then divide the territory according to their respective spheres of influence. Today, I am three Wan Jingrui took the first step to capture the two northern counties, and the Asakura family has not yet entered Kaga, and he has launched an attack with an army of [-] troops, if our army does not move, how can we ensure the safety of Tetorigawa?"
"... Exactly!" Asakura Keiren really didn't know how to answer, the covenant between the two parties was only to carve up Kaga country.It is not a so-called unbreakable blood alliance, not even an ordinary alliance of in-laws. This kind of interest alliance is neither reliable nor stable, and it may be shelved or even terminated at any time.
The covenant signed by the two parties is true, but the actual demarcation effect is still determined by strength. For example, if the Asakura family suddenly made an effort to defeat Echizen Ichikui, and then invaded Kaga in one fell swoop to seize the four counties of Kaga and Kanazawa Gobo.At that time, Ishikawa County and Hebei County will definitely not be spit out according to the covenant, and the Kira family cannot be asked to spit out the territory of Nomi County by the same token.
It's really difficult for him to take the covenant and insist on taking back the initiative in the negotiation. Most of the shogunate signs can't hold back these reckless Echigo, and maybe they will self-defeating and tear up the covenant.At that time, the Kira Army will aggressively attack the Kaga country, and Nomi and Enuma counties will soon fall into their hands. The remnants of the Kaga Ichikozong will become pure Echizen Ichikozong when they enter Echizen. Lose more.
Seeing Asakura Keiren's depressed look of wanting to speak but not daring to speak, Uesugi Masatora smiled and said: "Then Genbozuo can understand our reason for attacking Nomi County? Invasion, this Wada Chaosho Temple must be pulled out, so that the safety of the entire Tetori River can be guaranteed, and Motoyoshi Minato can also rest in peace. It must be used in Tsuruga Port, and the Asakura family in Mikuni Minato does not need this little one. a seaport of the
"A small...seaport...yes! We don't really need it!" Asakura Keiren continued this with a bitter face, and Mitsuchicho turned into "a small seaport" for him to talk about.
The Kira family was obviously unwilling to share Tetorigawa's convenience with the Asakura family. Even though Asakura Kelian knew that this would damage the Asakura family's interests, he couldn't find a way to stop it. If you can't reach the front line of Handorigawa in the central part of Kaga country, even if you reach it, you have to weigh whether it can withstand the powerful combat power of the Kira Army.
This is an era when power is the truth, hard fists are tough words, not to mention that Uesugi Masatora's request is reasonable, even if he proposes to amend the boundary line now, and use Nomi County and Enuma County as the division of power, he will not Fang Fang insisted on rejecting this proposal, but if he did so, the covenant would definitely be completely broken. Now he can be sure that the Kira family will not do such an irrational act.
According to the original negotiation plan made in Yicheng Valley, it must be a loss, but today is not the same as in the past. When he left Yicheng Valley, the battle of Jian Shengzhai had not yet started, and the Asakura family just received Kaga. After receiving the news, he was urgently sent to contact the Kira family to agree to eliminate Kaga Ichikozong and reaffirm their respective spheres of influence.
When Asakura Jinglian ran to Kanazawa Gobo and found that he was in vain, and then came to the front line of Jianshengzhai, he realized that half of Nomi County had been captured in just seven or eight days. Maybe he came half a year later It is not certain that Yue will really go outside Enuma County. As the diplomat of the Asakura family, he has no way out. He could only give up part of the benefits with a bitter face.
He didn't choose to procrastinate because he wanted to avoid having too many nights and dreams. In the event of an accident in Kaga Kingdom, the meaning of his existence as an envoy would be close to that. At that time, he would not only be unable to fight for the due interests of the Asakura family, but would also ruin such a situation. The timing was great, so Asakura Keiren decided to sign a new agreement even though he knew he would lose money.
Asakura Keren got an unsatisfactory answer and left in a hurry. Uesugi Masatora also received the envoy of Kaga Issouji Senshuji Kenkai. When compared with the Honganji sect, people in the world call it the Honganji sect with scorn from Ichigo, but praise the Takada sect's Honyama Ise Senshuji.
In the sixth year of Kansho (1465), Lianru of Honganji Temple confronted Zhenhui of Senshuji Temple of the Takada School. He fled to Kantian in a panic, and then fled to Hokuriku after the Onin Rebellion.
As Honganji Renjo was fully suppressed by Enryakuji Temple, Zenshuji Zhenhui also aroused suppression within the Jodo Shinshu of Hokuriku Province because of his actions against Honganji Renjo, so he had to abandon the missionary work in Hokuriku Province and go to Ise Kokichida established Ryojuin Temple, and then transferred Senshuji Temple to Ise Ryojuin Temple. The remaining Senshuji Temple stayed in Kaga to continue to develop and gradually merged into Honganji sect.
The Zenshuji Xianhui is an influential and learned monk in the Kaga Ichiko sect. He usually does some copywriting work with excellent pen skills, or goes back and forth between Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Echizen Chaoshoji Temple. This time he was sent to act as a diplomat The envoy was also a naive move. The few diplomatic monks who were originally in Kaga either died in Echu, or were captured in Kanazawa Gobo as prisoners.
