A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

It's strange that after the summer harvest, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin didn't move. Oishi went out to the field again, this time not to beat Utsunomiya Hirotsuna. The Utsunomiya clan had already been beaten to the ground, and seemed to be preparing to beat the Mibu clan, the Ohtawara clan, and the Nasu clan.

Uesugi Kenshin sent a message, saying that he was preparing military rations and asked if the Yamauchi family could sell a batch to him. He was going to have a pleasurable fuck and fuck Kaga Ichimune completely down.

First of all, to launch a large army from Echigo to Kaga, a lot of military rations will be needed. Secondly, Kaga's resistance may be very tenacious. After all, it has been a country of the people for decades. The people have despised the lords and lost their fear of the feudal ruling class. Enough food is needed to appease the people who are willing to surrender, and they must also be prepared to reduce Kaga to ruins.

The results of the Kanto Campaign basically left only the Ueno country and a small group of Shimono troops. Moreover, it was becoming increasingly difficult to plunder and capture, and the people of Kanto became more and more determined to resist the Uesugi army. We can't go any further in Kanto, so we can only pinch the soft persimmons of Hokuriku.

The expected rebellion in Etchu did not occur. The Uesugi family successively deployed Shodai and Shogin generals in Etchu, and killed two great nationals, Shiina Yasuin and Jimbo Yoshiharu.

Ezhong, which has been at war with each other for years, has experienced a rare peace this year and has already handed over a season of food to Uesugi Kenshin. In two more seasons, the Uesugi family's rule will be completely established, and there won't be any trouble by then.

With a stroke of his pen, Kodaira ordered his subordinates to resell 20,000 shi of wheat to Uesugi Kenshin. Uesugi Kenshin would not be trapped in the quagmire of Kanto, which would only benefit the Yamauchi family and bring no harm.

The Kanto quagmire is not suitable for the Yamauchi family, and it is only right to deal with Takeda with all their strength. But Takeda Shingen really hasn't seen any movement at all. Although it has been rumored that he is mobilizing the Echigo generals and the northern part of the small prefecture, it has been almost a year and no one has jumped out. This is very inconsistent with Takeda Shingen's methods, and Sanada Yutsuna's abilities should not be like this.

Even in the closed-door meeting among the judges, no results were discussed. It should be a good thing that there are no rebellions among the second and fifth sons. The Yamauchi family is worried about a chicken.

But what does it mean that Takeda Shingen has the strength to send troops but does not?

Their Takeda family has strong soldiers and horses, and the Eighth Prince they captured last time has been digested. The balance of power that was broken after Iito Homasa's death gradually adjusted to a new balance.

How could Takeda Shingen, who built family unity on constant external expansion and concealed internal conflicts and power struggles by seizing new territories and reaping war dividends, give up the opportunity to send troops?

Is he too afraid of Xiaoping? How can it be!

If Yamauchi Yoshiharu were alive, he might still be afraid of Yamauchi Yoshiji's reputation of licking blood with the tip of a knife for thirty years. Xiaoping Taiyi is an assistant minister and is not worth his worries.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! Takeda Shingen must be holding back some bad water.

What Koheita can think of is naturally the Ueno Nagano clan and Oxian Toishi Castle, the two important fulcrums in the encirclement.

And as Xiaopingtai, a steely crow's mouth, expected exactly the same thing. Not long after, Obata Kentishige and Obata Nobuzada, father and son of the Ueno Kunine Kohata clan, were chased and released by Nagano Yasumasa on suspicion of interfering with the Takeda clan, and internal strife broke out in Ueno.

It is not that Nagano Yamasa is old and dim, Kobata Nobuya is Nagano Yamasa's brother-in-law, and Kobata Nobusada is his son-in-law. Generally speaking, such an in-law relationship is quite strong.

In fact, there is only one reason. Nagano is getting old and his health is deteriorating. Nagano Yamori was only sixteen or seventeen years old, at such an age. In the Warring States period, when people were eating people without spitting out their bones, it was very likely that they would be overthrown by retainers.

Kobata Norishige and his son were very impressed by Nagano Yashimasa, but they were not necessarily willing to surrender to Nagano Yashimai. Once Nagano Yamasa dies, regardless of whether there are foreign enemies, Kobata Nobuzada might use his identity as Nagano Yamasa's son-in-law to start an army to fight for the sovereignty of the Nagano clan.

Who said you were a young man with no hair on his lips?

Faced with the sudden pursuit, Kobata Norishige was also very direct. If you are unkind, I will be unjust. He took Kobata's 500 cavalry to join Takeda Shingen. Takeda Shingen immediately used Yantian's salary of 5,500 kan to recruit Kobata Kenshige and his son, and appointed them as heads of the Nishi Ueno genfang banners, entering the Takeda clan's lineage of retainers.

The Nagano family's family status cast an indelible shadow, and Takeda Shingen obtained about 500 Yabusame cavalry who were able to fight out of thin air, and their power waxed and waned.

For Nagano Yamasa, he eliminated a major hidden danger in Nagano Yashimai's succession, but he lost one of the most important fighting forces. The 500-ryu dysprosium horse these days is no joke. Others can laugh out loud if they can have 500.

Whether it is worth it or not, I can only tell you the taste and taste it yourself.

As for whether Takeda Shingen was behind this, or whether it was Takeda Shingen's instigation, it is difficult to tell.

This was a bittersweet event for the Nagano family, but for Xiaopingta, it was a relief. The biggest fear is that the opponent won't make a move. As long as he does, it won't be a big problem.

Unknown enemies are dangerous, just deal with known enemies.

Since Takeda Shingen is targeting Ueno, Yamauchi can feel relieved, but he can also be prepared when the opportunity arises. When Takeda Shingen sends troops to Ueno, we will send troops to Suwa to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

The Takeda family can attack from three sides, but they may be attacked from three sides. In other words, he has strong soldiers and horses. If it were anyone else, all the bones would have been eaten long ago.

Anyway, just wait now. When Takeda Shingen moves, Yamauchi will also move.

So Feng Ping Lang waited quietly for more than two months, it was almost time for the autumn harvest, but nothing happened.

Is this year going to be spent happily like this?

That's good. The Yamauchi family is in the best condition. They can recuperate and expand their armaments. Even if they don't fight for the world, they can still stick to one side.

The point is that A-Ling's due date is coming soon, and her baby will be born in two months. Xiao Pingtai herself doesn't want anything to happen at this time, and secretly prays to the eight million gods in the sky.

God's answer to Koheita was that Takeda Shingen mobilized the three armies!

Where are the soldiers heading?

I don’t know!

But the lord of Echigo Biwa Island, Usami Suruga, raised his troops!

It was not a rebellion, but an attack on Ueda Castle Nagao Masakei, with the sole purpose of killing Nagao Masakei and Nagao Hikage (Uesugi Kagekatsu) and his son.

It was another bad battle, and a large number of retainers, represented by Uesugi Kagenobu (Uesugi Kagetorakata), sat on the sidelines and watched, using various excuses to delay the fight. He rejected Uesugi Kenshin's request to join the army, and some people even secretly applauded and sent money and food to Usami.

Come on! Kill Nagao Masaki!

Echigo was in chaos, and although there was no peace, it was obvious that Uesugi Kenshin needed time to mediate the fight between Usami and Nagao for the time being.
