A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

In the name of Taro Yamauchi, he demanded the surrender of Umeyuki Shimoyama Caveyama and Nobushige Oyamada of Iwatōyama. Koheita convened the Lian Panmen in Kai to discuss the treatment of Suruga.

Anayayama Umeyuki, whose army was fighting outside, had lost Junfu and was now unable to advance or retreat. With his "sense", he would not be determined to sacrifice his life for Takeda. After Oyamada Nobumo ran back from Suwa, he didn't know his whereabouts. Other than that, it would be really difficult to deal with this person if he defected to Hojo.

Oyamada Nobushige has always been listed on the Hojo clan's military service certificate. While he is responsible for the negotiations between Takeda and Hojo, he also follows the Hojo family in battles as a member of the Hojo clan.

The semi-independent attitude of the Chinese people is undoubtedly revealed!

To a certain extent, he is also a famous person!

The 2,000-strong Oyamada clan can be considered a force that cannot be underestimated, and judging from their past achievements, this is indeed the case. Oyamada Nobukuro, who had fought several battles with the Yamauchi family in the past, was a fierce general. He especially blocked Yamauchi Yoshikatsu during the battle with Uedahara and made great contributions to Shingen's retreat.

From the perspective of the Warring States Daimyo, it would be most cost-effective to retain his territory, quickly integrate this powerful force, and let him immediately join the family's war. Continuously weaken his strength in the war, and then marry, marry his daughter and marry his wife, and three generations will become a retainer.

But from the perspective of seeking world hegemony, this kind of thorn cannot be kept, a semi-independent territory that is completely indistinguishable from an independent daimyo. The daimyo's magistrates and magistrates could not enter his territory, and he could even conduct diplomatic negotiations with other families alone.

This is outrageous! No ambitious daimyo would indulge in this!

Therefore, Koheita really hoped that Nobumo Oyamada would be ignorant and fall to the Hojo family, and then Yamauchi would directly destroy the Oyamada clan with the help of his troops. Rather than beg for mercy and come forward to ask for forgiveness, he continues to retain the territory and lies dormant, waiting for the next opportunity to jump out and bite back.

As for Suruga's Shouguini, although Kai had an affair with her before the expedition and hoped that she could do something, that was before taking down Takeda Yoshinobu. Now that the A army is almost completely defeated, Suruga is just a piece of meat on the chopping board. The Yamauchi family committee really doesn't want to hand over such a big piece of meat to the so-called Imagawa family.

Imagawa Yoshiki is also Imagawa, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru has passed the certification!

This time, with the assistance of Uncle Tsuna, Motomasa Iwase, Kiyoyasu Anzai, Ienobu Kawabe, Motoharu Kobayashi, Yoshizuna Shimizu, etc., they advanced by water and defeated the Takeda-Hojo coalition forces. Imagawa Yoshiuchi entered Suruga completely as a king. As Imagawa Yoshimoto's legal son, there is no problem in inheriting Suruga in theory.

What's more, Yamauchi Yoshiharu's arrangement at the time was that Imagawa Yoshiuchi, as his younger brother, enjoyed the country of Suruga, while his elder brother Yamauchi Yoshikatsu occupied the Soke family and enjoyed Shinano and other territories in his own country.

But later Ashikaga Yoshiteru messed around, and the Imagawa family was divided into three. The guardianship of Toe was given to Imagawa Yoshichichi, the guardianship of Suruga was given to Imagawa Hikoro, and the two counties of Jundong were given to Imagawa Sukegoro of Hojo as appeasement. .

This also resulted in the fact that there are four forces in Suruga. Although Takeda is big, it is not the only one.

Now that the Takeda clan's forces in Suruga have retreated at full speed, only the defeated soldiers of Anayama Umeyuki, as well as hundreds of remaining soldiers of Nobuyuki Kawago, Nobuyada Katsurayama and others are left, supporting Imagawa Hikoro and patrolling and hesitating at Asama Taisha Shrine.

Shougui Ni received help from Imagawa's former ministers and temporarily took control of Sunfu Castle. But the foundation is long gone. Whether it is coercion or negotiation is the focus of this discussion.

The only variable was the Imagawa Clan Rules. After everyone discussed it, a letter was sent to Imagawa Yoshinori, asking him to warn Sugini to remain neutral. The Yamauchi Army quickly expelled the Hojo Army to Xingokuji Temple in Jundong District.

Maybe Shouguini drove the tiger to devour the wolf and wanted to rely on the power of the Hojo family to remain neutral and maintain the Imagawa family?

Hosokawa Saime personally rode her horse over to recruit Anesama Umeyuki, mainly to capture Imagawa Hikoro, the son of Takeda Yoshinobu. As long as he surrendered, it was not impossible to save his family.

As for the Kingdom of Kai, the Yamauchi Army and Takanashi Army, which had been plundering for several days, were ordered to stop! If the disaster continues, the Yamauchi family will have to invest money in relief.

Moreover, the army must be gathered together to prepare for the military situations of Suruga and Oyamada.

…………

"Who will write the proclamation for your highness to be appointed as the guardian of Kai?" Koheita knelt down next to Yamauchi Taro, and the samurai sat in a circle around them. In fact, everyone was surrounding the big fire pit in the center. The weather was still a bit cold after all.

"Let Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi write it. We are not good at this thing!" Hokahata University suggested.

"Zen Master's literary methods are indeed very good!" Yamauchi Yiho followed him through a few classes.

"How about sending a message back to the mansion?"

"The seals of Kai are very good, so I brought two of them to the Zen master." Yamauchi Taro probably had the idea of ​​not returning to his hometown even if he was rich and noble. He captured Kai by himself, so it would be nice to give some of Kai's specialties to his teacher to show off. normal. 【Note 1】

"For the governance of the Kingdom of Kai, we still need everyone to work together and pay more attention." Xiaoheita wrote a verdict, and several people took turns to sign and send it to Chief Accountant Yamauchi in the mansion.

"After the old ministers of Takeda who surrendered to Kai were generally appeased, a new military service certificate was prepared immediately!"

"Does a land inspection also need to be carried out?"

"If it doesn't work now, it will be even harder in the future!"

"Uncle Zhengzheng, how about inspecting the land of Kaifei and the people being excited?" Yamauchi Taro asked, holding his little head.

"Thirty-three thousand troops are in Jiafu, just in time to catch all the young people in one fell swoop!"

"The Takeda family's roots are deep and long-lasting, and it will always take more twists and turns." The others also nodded. Without a few more rounds of stabbing heads, Kai would not be able to settle down.

"Your Highness! There is news from Kainyu!" Murakami Yoshimitsu opened the barrier door and knelt in the corridor to deliver the message.

"It seems there is news from the cave mountain!"

"Anayama Meisetsusai asks His Highness to forgive Imagawahiko Goro and allow his son Anayayama Nobuharu to succeed the Takeda clan. Imagawahiko Goro will immediately become a monk. As an apology, Kawago Nobuhiro will commit seppuku, and Anayama Meisetsusai will personally go to Fuchu Castle to Matsuri." The temple lives in seclusion, and the whole country of Suruga is given over to the family for free disposal."

"Anayama Hikorokuro (Nobuharu) succeeds the Takeda clan?" Yamauchi Taro was noncommittal.

Meyuki Anayama went to the Yamauchi family as a hostage, and handed over all the troops and territory she could still control in Suruga to the Yamauchi family, just to keep the old territory of Shimoyama.

If it was just like this, the Yamauchi family would immediately agree.

But he not only wanted to save Imagawa Hikoro's life, but also wanted his son to join the Takeda family.

This is not having two ends in mind, this is having three ends in mind!

Interesting!
