A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Set up camp in Xiongjing. Since the war has begun, there is no need to disband the army.

Go to Iokawa and contact Uesugi Kenshin. Uesugi's not only the two major heir factions are openly competing for each other, but also most of the people who directly belong to Uesugi Kenshin, including Hatamoto and Sakaki, are taking sides.

Uesugi Kenshin actually didn't dare to move without permission, for fear that the army would leave Kasugayama Castle and go to the wilderness, and the arrogant samurai under his command would draw their swords at them.

Seeing that Uesugi Kenshin was unable to stop the dispute, the lord of Kakizaki Castle, Kakizaki Harue (Kakizaki Keiye lived in seclusion), saw the opportunity and suddenly launched troops to attack Sakaki Castle, the most important branch city to the north of Ueda Sakado Castle. Taking advantage of the dry weather in autumn, they launched a fire attack on Sakaki Castle. After burning it down, Sakaki fell to the city. The Sixty Thousand Cavalry City in the south also fell on the second day, and Ueda Sakado Castle was attacked from two sides.

Nagao Masaki is anxious, really anxious, he may not be able to bear it anymore!

On the one hand, Uesugi Kensei Uesugi Kenshin and his son asked for mediation, and on the other hand, they asked several generals from the Yangbei public to send troops for rescue.

A civil war is about to break out!

The left-behind forces in Yuezhong wanted to resist the attack of Yixiang Zong. The samurai under their command were divided into two groups, and they began to fight against each other. Once chaos arises, it will be difficult for Uesugi Kenshin to put an end to it.

"Why bother guarding yourself, you don't have any heirs!" Hosokawa Kainyu paced left and right in the tent in frustration.

"It's hard to calm down the people of Echigo. The original Nagao clan was only three generations of powerful people. It's too difficult to suppress all the powerful people!" Konishiharazaemon, who had been guarding the north for a long time, said something fair.

The fact is that in the era of long-tail power, the power of the long-tail party began to rise. The long tail makes the scene bigger, but it just leaves a mess riddled with holes. As soon as Nagao Harukage came to power, the Nagao family declined at full speed to Neck City County. In three generations, Echigo was not completely reconciled.

"Xiao Ping Tai, what do you think?"

"The family disputes that govern the Uesugi family have become inevitable since His Highness Kasugayama grew older. Now His Highness the Chief is approaching forty, and he has no biological heirs. His stepson, Hatakeyama Jōsaki, is in Echichu again. It’s only a matter of time before an outbreak occurs. Now that the leader is still here, it’s even a good thing for the leader’s family!”

"But Kaijin City is in danger. Takeda's army of more than 20,000 troops has arrived. There are wars everywhere. How can we fight against the enemy with only 7,000 people?"

"The Takeda situation is unclear and cannot be easily interrupted!"

"Everyone! We have urgent news. Yukitsuna Sanada, a member of the Takeda Forces, has assembled about 2,500 people from the small prefecture at Matsuo Castle. They seem to be entering Ueno Azuma County!"

An urgent report from Murakami Yoshimitsu confused everyone again. Takeda Shingen's army is now in Kaijin City, so why did he gather the people from the small county? Attack from two directions? Take the opportunity to seize the Nagano clan's arm?

Where is the center point of this war? Where is the breaking point?

What exactly is Takeda Shingen’s idea?

Koheita's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to peel away the layers of fog of war and find Takeda Shingen's true target.

Standing in front of the map, the impotent Taro Yamauchi kept gesticulating with his hands. He didn't have much say in the debate in the tent. It’s just that no one will avoid him. There is nothing wrong with the Wu family’s children listening to the pre-war discussions.

"Zoma Yun, let me ask you, what are the movements of the Hojo clan?" Others were thinking hard, and Yamauchi Taro asked seemingly casually.

"Your Highness, Hojo's massive force has begun to attack the Shimonojinbu clan!"

"The Mibu clan? Is that the Mibu clan who rejected the Koyama clan in the south and reached the Sano clan in Karazeyama in the west?"

"Yes, Your Highness remembered it correctly!" Murakami Yoshimitsu bowed his head in agreement.

"Your Highness is so heroic and heroic, rarely seen in the world. God has truly blessed our Yamauchi family!" After listening to the conversation between the two people, Xiaopingta finally had a bright idea in his mind.

Yamauchi Taro did not shy away and accepted Koheita's bow calmly!

"Did uncle also notice it?"

"If His Highness hadn't reminded me, it would have been very difficult for me to realize it!"

Takeda Shingen is not fighting alone! We have entered the biggest misunderstanding!

Hojo Fang was actually following the Takeda clan's rhythm, and the Yamauchi clan gave him a tough blow, but Takeda Shingen was not sure he would eat it immediately. The only weak ones in his eyes were Takanashi Masayori and Nagano Yamasa.

Takanashi Masarai's territory was filled with his family's lineage retainers. The Murakami family was attacked by three families at that time. Four of his sons died in one day, and there were not many survivors alive at all. So now the Takanashi family is surprisingly united, even better than Uesugi and Yamauchi.

And Nagano is a member of the National People's Congress. Nagano Yamasa is about to kick his legs. If not him, who will he hit?

In addition, Hojo's biggest enemy is naturally Uesugi Kenshin, who has the title of Kanto Commander Daichi. They will go all out to do anything that can hit Uesugi Kenshin, even at any cost.

The two sides hit it off immediately!

The target is naturally Ueno Country!

Ueno Country is now almost a hedgehog huddled in a ball, and it is difficult to eat for the time being.

Even the previous incident with the Obata clan in Kunmine Castle could not completely sway Ueno. So in order to eliminate the old forces inherent in Ueno Country and the forces placed by Uesugi Kenshin in Ueno, we must first cut off the two wings that may come to support him.

Possible support from the Shimono Kingdom came from the Sano clan of Karasawayama, the Mibuo clan of Kanuma Castle, and the Utsunomiya clan who had fought with Uesugi Kenshin, so the Oishi clan wanted to kill them all to ensure that the Shimono side could not support Ueno in the future.

Takeda Shingen's side naturally wants to cut off Shinano's side and Uesugi's forces who can quickly come to aid by borrowing Shinano's roads.

In the large-scale chess game of the entire Eastern Kingdom, there is only one nail that Takeda Shingen considers must be removed.

Peishi City!

Therefore, Yukitsuna Sanada gathered soldiers at Sanada Castle to block the support of the Kamahara clan, Habio clan, and Iwagaku Saito clan in Ueno Agatsuma County.

Takeda's temporary appearance in Kaijin Castle was also to intimidate Takanashi Masayori and to cause doubts in the Yamauchi family, who were most capable of coming to rescue, and to prevent them from sending troops.

There were many generals in the army, many of whom had fought dozens of bad battles, but such a huge strategic perspective could not compare to a mere five-year-old Taro Yamauchi.

Sometimes some people are born at the end, and winning at the starting point really doesn't mean much.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu really gave birth to a very smart son! He has such insight and judgment at such a young age!

"Takeda Daisen's target is Toishi Castle! Everyone, please prepare for battle!"

"whetstone!"

"whetstone?"

…………

"Presumably Takeda Ozen's army has arrived at Toishi Castle and has even launched an siege for more than three days!"

"There are only five hundred defenders in the city, like a small boat in the angry sea. We must rescue them quickly!"

"Then I leave everything to you!"

Yamauchi Taro stood up, his figure expanded instantly, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his thin body, becoming illusory and mysterious. Even Koheita seemed to see the figures of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Yamauchi Yoshiharu in a trance, overlapping each other, their eyes showing the determination of victory and the indomitable self-confidence.
