A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Your envoy Qingye Dajin, because he admires the majesty of our army in the mountains, he temporarily stayed in our army as a guest."

After the messenger of the Yamauchi family said this lightly, he stood up lightly and left Murakami Yoshikiyo's main formation on Chasu Mountain to mind his own business.

Murakami Yoshikiyo's face was stern, and his face changed indirectly, showing an angry red color. After the veins near the temples became congested and bulged one by one, they became particularly clear.

With a "pop" sound, the horse stick decorated with leather and paintings, and wrapped with gold foil, was broken by Murakami Yoshikiyo in one click.

I don't know who it was, but after seeing Murakami Yoshikiyo's rage, he took a sharp breath.

But this happened to stimulate the already extremely angry Murakami Yoshikiyo, who trampled the originally precious horse war under his feet. With constant exertion on his feet, the hardwood horse pole was half-dented and sunk into the soil.

"Immediately send an order to arrest the entire Qingye Daishin clan!" Murakami Yoshikiyo shouted angrily.

"Your Highness, you must not do it, you must not do it!" Dai Zhengguo, the old man of Bitou's family, immediately stood up and stopped the attendant who was about to pass on the order.

"Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, how can we mess up our position? Qingye Dajin has been loyal to the public for many years and will never surrender to the prime minister in the mountain. He must be detained in the army in the mountain to disturb His Highness!"

"The disaster of the three armies begins with suspicion! Your Highness, please do not act too hastily and fall into the scheme of Prime Minister Yamauchi!"

Yashiro Masakuni is still familiar with Kiyono Seohide, who is much older than him. He has been working with your Murakami family for thirty years, so he has had second thoughts for a long time. As for now that my son, grandson, wife, and family are all in the hands of Murakami Yoshikiyo, I can’t wait to take refuge with Yamauchi Yoshiharu!

Leyanji Masakata and Inoue Hidefusa also immediately came out to persuade him, this is no joke.

Qingye Qingxiu is accompanying the army with hundreds of people. If his son and grandson are arrested now, these hundreds of people will immediately cause chaos.

What kind of person is Uesugi Terutora across from me? He seized the opportunity and rushed forward! Let’s all wait and see!

At this time, even if Qingye Qingxiu really surrendered to the enemy, we must believe that he did not surrender to the enemy. Not only that, he also wanted to provide generous rewards to win over his sons and let them continue to serve.

"If His Highness is really worried, you can ask the Qingye team to cooperate with the Yefu team. This can increase the combat power of Yefu and others, and also avoid impulsiveness to the Chinese army if something happens."

Rakuyanji Masakata suggested that the Qingye team could be drawn to cooperate with the more than 2,000 Beixin Yikui troops. Anyway, Murakami Yoshikiyo deliberately let them stand alone because of their low combat effectiveness.

No matter what happens to these monk soldiers who ambush the crowd, it will not affect the 12,000 people of Murakami Yoshikiyo's team.

In this way, regardless of whether Qingye Qingxiu rebels or not, it is a foolproof strategy.

If you really rebelled, it will be time to deal with you after the war. If there is no rebellion, then the Qingye clan will euphemistically say that they trust you and send more than 2,000 additional troops to your family. What kind of trust!

"Huh, let's do it like this!" Murakami Yoshikiyo was not really a foolhardy pig warrior. His anger calmed down after his retainers said something.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu is a typical old Yinbi, Takeda Harunobu has suffered from his evil hands, and Murakami Yoshikiyo also woke up at this time.

"Where is the Takeda meal?" Murakami Yoshikiyo finally sat down and asked about the business he was most concerned about.

"According to calculations and previous reports, Kai's Takeda meal should have arrived at Kaijinping!"

"Kai Jinping? Get a map." Murakami Yoshikiyo asked.

Yashiro Masakuni stood up and pointed out to him, Kai Jinping was on the street of the North Country, only five miles away from Murakami Yoshikiyo's Honjin Chausu Mountain.

"So, at noon tomorrow at the latest, the 14,000 soldiers of Army A will arrive?"

Murakami Yoshikiyo tapped the table with his hand and chanted "Tomorrow's noon! Tomorrow's noon!"

"Prime Minister Yamauchi's army won't be able to reach Kawanaka Island until tomorrow evening at the earliest, right?"

Not only a question but also a confirmation, Murakami Yoshikiyo said to himself.

"According to what the envoy from Yamauchi just said, it is indeed true. It will take two days to reach Kawanakajima from Shenzhi Castle."

"Subtracting the difference, it should arrive tomorrow evening!" Yashiro Masakuni calculated in his head. Then he analyzed the time when Shao Bi of Leyan Temple escaped and returned, and the time when the envoys from the mountain rushed in at full speed. They were almost the same.

"So at noon tomorrow, the commander of Kasugayama will only have 11,000 soldiers, while our company has 28,000 soldiers, right?" Murakami Yoshikiyo already understood in his heart.

"Yes, Prime Minister Yamauchi's 23,000 troops cannot catch up with the decisive battle at noon tomorrow!"

Could Yashiro Masakuni not know what Murakami Yoshikiyo was thinking? I can't understand this at all, how to be Murakami Yoshikiyo's patriarch and how to firmly hold the power of the Murakami family.

All Murakami generals understood this, and Murakami Yoshikiyo and Takeda Harunobu were ready to outflank the enemy, and first ate the eleven thousand coalition forces of Uesugi Teruhu, Takanashi Masayori and others.

As long as Uesugi Teruhora is defeated and has the power of victory, even if Yamauchi Yoshiharu's 23,000 men rush to the battlefield in the evening, they can take advantage of the victory to attack.

When the time comes, Yamauchi Yoshiharu should retreat to Shenzhi Castle and digest the two counties of Antan and Chikuma that have been occupied. They will never attack the powerful Murakami-Takeda coalition, they will only retreat slowly.

The only thing left for Murakami Yoshikiyo is to take advantage of the victory to completely kill Takanashi Masarai and seize Minai and Takai County. Even breaking into Echigo Kasugayama was possible.

"Ochan is on a mission to inform Takeda Ochan of our army's decision. He is requested to directly enter the Hachimanhara alms site tomorrow and directly attack the Kasugayama leader from the right wing. By then, our army will attack from the left wing, and we must win in one battle!"

Terutora Uesugi, who stood on the edge of the Saikawa River, suddenly felt a hint of war.

"Yamato Mamoru, what's the defensive movement of Murasaki on the opposite side today?"

"Your Highness, both Prime Minister Yamauchi and Kai Taisen have envoys entering the Murakami camp today. It's just that there are more envoys from Murakami contacting Takeda today. We just observed that another envoy went south." Naoe Keizuna fully fulfilled the role of a chief of staff. Responsibilities.

"How far is the Yamauchi Prime Minister's headquarters from Kawanaka Island?" "It's a day's journey at most, and we'll arrive tomorrow night!"

"Tomorrow night?" Terutora Uesugi stood up and walked slowly around the shogunate.

Sitting around were Kakizaki Keie, Yoshie Keizi, Shida Yishi, Yamamotoji Sadinaga and others, their eyes following the figure of Uesugi Terutora.

"Ochiai Yusan! Ochiai Yusan!" Terutora Uesugi loudly summoned a samurai of the Ochiai clan from the local temple community in Kawanakajima.

After a while, this person came.

"Yusan, let me ask you, will there be continuous thick fog on Hachimangahara tomorrow morning?"
