A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

In the winter months, after all kinds of considerations, Imagawa Yoshimoto had a showdown with his mother Shouguini and his close retainers Ujihiro Sekiguchi, Okabe Oyazuna, Ujitoku Kamahara and others. He fully stated his intention to mobilize the entire army and attack Luo, and gained sufficient support.

So Imagawa Yoshimoto finally made up his mind to go to Luo, and sent messengers all the way to Kai and all the way to Yamauchi. Through the heavy snow, he conveyed his request to send reinforcements to Luo together.

With Imagawa Yoshimoto's territory and financial resources, he actually doesn't need any reinforcements. Moreover, the Takeda clan and the Yamauchi clan will not send many people to Luo together. What Imagawa Yoshimoto wants is momentum. You see, the Yamauchi family of the Kawachi Genji Ashikaga clan and the Kai Takeda family of the Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu clan are all following me to Luo.

Let the wealthy Chinese and famous people along the way to Luo weigh their weight and compare their strength with that of the Yamauchi family and the Takeda family to see if they can surpass them. Then decide whether to stop Imagawa Yoshimoto's king master, or whether to join Ji and Wei to participate in the grand event.

It's equivalent to getting two heavyweight cheerleaders to shout 666 from behind. At the same time, using these two big flags to deceive more cheerleaders, let the noobs come to cheer on their own initiative, and don't do anything stupid to resist Master Wang.

This means that Ouchi Yoshihiro must bring together the famous and famous families such as An Yun, the Takeda family, the Yoshikawa family, and the Yamauchi Shuto family to go on the road. You don't really need to be a thug, as long as you come.

After creating a perfect external environment, Imagawa Yoshimoto did not hesitate to spend money and opened up the Suruga treasury. All the gold accumulated from decades of mining at Abe Kanayama, Fuji Kanayama, and Jundong Kanayama was taken out , all the wanderers and refugees on the Kanto and Tokaido roads flocked to Suruga Fuchu Castle.

In a short period of time, more than 16,000 rōshi troops gathered under the castle of Suruga Prefecture. It was filled with wanderers from various countries in the Kanto region speaking various dialects and slang. Although everyone couldn't understand each other, their hearts were full of enthusiasm.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is worthy of being a famous general. According to his hometown, he organized them well and trained them intensively. Since most of these ronin have experienced war and know all kinds of honors and honors, the difficulty of training is greatly reduced. With abundant funds and food, the combat effectiveness of this unit will be greatly improved after a winter month of training. They will become a living (cannon fodder) force that Imagawa Yoshimoto can completely rely on on his way to Luo.

Another unexpected effect is that because Imagawa Yoshimoto is one of the top names in the literary world of 220,000 Kankan, he issued a declaration to the capital of Rakuten. All the ambitious elements of the Eastern Kingdom and the libertines plotting restoration gathered in him. under his command. Everyone is optimistic that such a world-famous samurai can successfully go to Luo, take over the power of the shogunate, and then help these rogues restore their family names.

It's like Guizhou Laoganma hot sauce suddenly went on the market. Everyone is so optimistic that Laoganma hot sauce will rise sharply and wildly. So not only those traders, but also retail investors and tourists all entered the market to follow the investment.

Because Lao Gan Ma, like Imagawa Yoshimoto, has a very good performance. She has been making profits year after year and has never lost money. All fools know that this thing is absolutely fine, so social unrest from all directions went to Imagawa Yoshimoto's command. It has greatly improved the social environment in Kaido and Kanto, making the daimyo lords everywhere smile with joy.

The Yamauchi family received news that Imagawa Yoshimoto requested reinforcements to go to Luo. In order to ensure the alliance between the two parties, the 16-year-old Yamauchi Saburo Goro was asked to go to Junfu immediately to marry Imagawa Yoshimoto's daughter Meirein. At the same time, Yoshimoto Imagawa served as his black hat acquaintance, and Yoshiaki Kira of the Kira clan of Mikawa served as a hairdresser. Finally, he served as a barber and was named Yamauchi Yoshiuchi. 【Note 1】

Afterwards, Yamauchi Yoshiuchi and his new wife returned to Yamauchi without stopping. Yamauchi Yoshiharu seemed to have some other considerations, and the family discussion seemed to believe that Imagawa Yoshimoto could succeed in going to Luo. It is most likely that Yoshimoto Imagawa will be the one giving orders to the entire world in the next ten years. Yamauchi Yoshichiro may be able to earn a good future by following his father-in-law.

After a fierce debate, Yamauchi's righteous relatives were allowed by his family to mobilize 2,200 Yamauchi and Jiangjiri people to follow his father-in-law to Luo. This child, who had only been considered a substitute for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu since childhood, received tremendous power and attention for the first time. He was so motivated that he came to Ejiri in person during the winter months to discuss Ejiri's specific mobilization for military service with Koheita.

And Koheita also got the news that Takeda Yoshinobu, the eldest son of Kai's Takeda Harunobu, had also adopted Imagawa Yoshimoto's daughter Surugahime three years ago. Now that the father-in-law had spoken, this face could not be erased, so he promised Takeda Yoshinobu to be the commander-in-chief. Two thousand five hundred Jia Fei soldiers supported his father-in-law in the Shangluo war.

Koheta counted on his fingers, there were 2,200 Yamauchi Yoshinori, 2,500 Takeda Yoshinobu, more than 16,000 rongi, and more than 18,000 Imagawa's troops. The entire Shangluo people The army will reach a terrifying number of 40,000.

The point is that these 40,000 people are definitely not a ragtag group. The Suruga people and the Yuanjiang people are strong soldiers who have been fighting for years. The Kaifei people and the Shannei people are even more impressive. Apart from the mediocre combat effectiveness of the 16,000 Rongrants, there are almost no weaknesses.

And how many people does Owari Oda Nobunaga have? According to Koheita's estimate, there are about 7,000 to 8,000 people. [Note 2] Saito Yoshiryu of Mino has about 16,000 to 16,000 people. Minami Omi's Rokkaku Yoshihide is much stronger. They rely on Lake Biwa to make huge profits. The trade route can mobilize about 25,000 to 30,000 troops, but they must all add up to be able to compete with Imagawa Yoshimoto, not to mention that their various ambitions will never unite.

This, this, this!

Will Imagawa Yoshimoto take a rest in Tianrakusa?

If he doesn't rest, won't the world be unified in advance?

Even on a cold winter night, Koheita was sweating profusely as he bid farewell to the excited Yamauchi adoptive relatives. Not to mention Imagawa Yoshimoto, if this Yamauchi sworn relative who once respectfully bowed to him was tricked to death, Yamauchi Yoshiharu would feel distressed for at least a few years.

But Koheta couldn't tell the outcome of Imagawa Yoshimoto. After all, who could know that in such a stable situation, Imagawa Yoshimoto could still lose. But Owari's big fool is not a big fool, he is obviously an unparalleled hero.

Xiaopingtai was in a dilemma.

[Note 1]: This name is the abbreviation of Imagawa Yoshimoto's father, Imagawa. If Imagawa Yoshimoto was given the character "Yoshi", he would call him Yamauchi Yoshiyoshi. This is a joke. If you use the character Yuan and it seems disrespectful to this good son-in-law, it means that you have to compromise and use your father's character to make someone else's character.

[Note 2]: At this time, Oda Nobunaga only had most of Owari, part of the four northern counties was in the hands of Saito Yoshiryu, and part followed Oda Nobunaga of Iwakura Castle. Therefore, Nobunaga could not unite the entire strength of Owari to fight.
