A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

As expected, the Hojo clan mobilized 36,000 troops from the three armies to surround Ninja Castle from the north, and began to attack Amabashi Castle, an important town in the Ueno area in the south.

As for the Yamauchi side, the Fujita clan commanded 10,000 people from the Koshu exit direction to threaten the Eighth Prince. In the direction of Suruga Kokokuji Temple, Imagawa Clan led 6,000 people to garrison Kokokuji Temple.

The biggest change is the commotion in the Takanashi family of Kaijin Castle. God helps the Hojo family!

Uesugi Kenshin received a letter, and he could only let the lords of Nakagotsu and Shigotsu occupy the city to protect themselves. In the final analysis, Honjo Shigenaga is a native of Echigo. Whoever wins and who loses will end up rotten in the pot. But that's not necessarily the case for Kaga, Hida, and Etchu, who are always trying to impress everyone. They are here to shave your head!

He has always been able to keep fighting without killing anyone, and nothing has to be done!

One day they might be able to ride on your head. Not only will they point fingers at you, but they will even dominate you!

Therefore, with a serious shortage of mobile troops, Uesugi Kenshin ordered Saito Asanobu, the most trustworthy among the people on the side, to defend the city at Kasugayama. He also ordered Naoe Jingzuna to station in Yubancheng to ensure that the situation between China and Vietnam would not collapse.

In the end, he took the Pegasus of the Eight Hundred Banners to go to Ezhong, and guided his Ezhong general Kawada Nagachichi who was staying in Uozu City to suppress the forces of the Ichikai clan that were about to move.

As for his precious son-in-law, Nagano Yashimai, Uesugi Kenshin ordered Amakasu Kagemochi and Hojo Takahiro, who stayed in Ueno, to serve as deputy generals to assist Nagano Yashimai and stick to Ueno. As long as Uesugi Kenshin calms down, he will definitely come to save them.

Naturally, Uesugi Kenshin and Nagano Yamori also wrote together, requesting the Yamauchi family to send troops to rescue Ueno country.

With the 10,000 people on this journey, Hosokawa Kaimei has long been prepared and is about to set off!

Kai suddenly started spreading a rumor!

Tsuchiya Masahashi, who was praised as "Twelve members of the Takeda clan, Tsuchiya Sozo's first soldier!", "The Arigayama katami killed thousands of people!", died in the battle, but he did not lose his legacy.

Because of his heroic and desperate efforts to resist the Yamauchi clan's attack on Kai, Tsuchiya Sozo's reputation for bravery among Shinano and Kai was greatly enhanced for a while. Friends, relatives and opponents alike all praised this strong warrior.

After all, there were too many betrayals during the Warring States Period, and people's hearts were too bad. At this time, there was a loyal minister who was loyal to his country and sacrificed his life to serve his lord. Even the generals of the Yamauchi clan who were on the opposing side felt a lot of sympathy and pity for him.

Such a warrior should be what every daimyo and lord wants!

In Kai, Tsuchiya Sozo is naturally worshiped and worshiped by every household. There is no doubt that this person's reputation in Kai suddenly rose to the level of the first person below Takeda Shingen.

So starting from the beginning of winter, it was spread in various villages in Kai that Tsuchiya Sozo had transformed into the mountain god Bodhisattva and became the patron saint of Kai. He will come to the world again and lead the people of Kai to fight for independence and get rid of the brutal rule of outsiders in Yamauchi.

Coincidentally, news spread from Yamanashi County. Tsuchiya Sozo's son is calling on all the loyal men of Kai to rise up to resist the tyranny of the Yamauchi clan, and is raising the banner of going to Yamauchi to welcome back Hikoro.

In order to echo Tsuchiya Sozo, this son of Tsuchiya Sozo also called himself Tsuchiya Sozo!

When the people in various counties and villages in Kai heard Tsuchiya Sozo's call to raise troops, the people's hearts were agitated and public sentiments surged. Everyone admired Tsuchiya Sozo's heroism and appreciated his ambition to sacrifice his life for the country.

Konishiharazaemon reported very straightforwardly that there were gatherings of common people and localities in various areas of Kai. Aneshan Meixue also has an ambiguous attitude, even though she is still in Kofu.

A war sweeping across Kai seems to be about to break out!

How dare you ignore this kind of thing? The Shinano people who were originally prepared to be transferred did not dare to leave without authorization.

What measures to take against Kai have become an urgent matter that must be discussed and decided by the ministers of the Yamauchi family.

According to Konishiharazaemon's suggestion, dozens of people were captured and chopped off with a knife, and their heads were hung on the streets of Kai. Kill the chicken to show the monkey, and let the remaining people think clearly about the cost of launching a move.

This method is of course very effective. It treats the symptoms very well and cuts off the head in a circle. Anger can be temporarily replaced by fear, and everything will be temporarily suppressed, waiting for the next opportunity to explode.

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause..." As an elder statesman, Chief Yamauchi knew that this method would be very effective at the moment, but if it breaks out in the future, it will definitely be more violent.

"The people of Kai country hate Yamauchi deeply. If this happens, the hatred will only deepen." Isshiki Miyauchi also nodded.

Everyone sat together, frowning and thinking. On the one hand, the Eight Princes are in danger and need to be mobilized by Yamauchi to mobilize the people of Shinano to rescue him. On the other hand, Kai was like a powder keg. Perhaps he was waiting for the Yamauchi army to reach Hachioji, and then raised troops behind the army to attack from both sides and win in one battle.

The only good thing is that due to the relative cooperation of the old Imagawa family, Suruga only needs to mobilize itself to deal with the Hojo detachment of Koukokuji Temple. Yuanjiang is responsible for transporting a certain amount of money and grain to support the war-torn Suruga's finances.

Uncle Tsuna's 2,000 men had already set off for Luoyang. Suruga could not move, and Enjiang needed to support Suruga's front line. Fortunately, Toe's mobile strength of 10,000 men was complete, while Shinano had less than 20,000 men (some of whom were already stationed in Kai). As long as the Nagano clan is not rescued, the Yamauchi clan still has sufficient troops on hand.

After much thought, Ueno couldn't lose it. If he lost it, the Yamauchi family would be in a desperate situation again. The Uesugi family's access to Kanto will also disappear, and the Yamauchi family will obviously be in a dilemma in dealing with the Hojo family.

Fortunately, nothing has happened to Kai yet, and Yamauchi can still cope with it.

Hosokawa Harime went to Ueno as usual, and took away 10,000 people to help Ueno deal with the attack of the Hojo clan's 36,000 troops. Ensure that there will be no mistakes on the Ueno side and neutralize the Hojo clan's offensive.

As for Kai...

"Send Imagawa Hikoro to Kaifu!" Xiaoping said this unpredictably.

"If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows." The chief planner in the mountain also said something faintly, his expression suddenly a little sinister.

"Xiaoheita, what do you mean?" Hosokawa Saime turned around.

"Lead the snake out of its hole and catch them all in one catch!"

"I'm afraid that Kai will be in ruins again..." Hokahata University's words seemed to sympathize with the people of Kai, but he nodded repeatedly.

People from the Kai country are not from the Shinano country. A few more deaths and a few fewer deaths are just numbers to the Yamauchi family.

"Who is going?" Chief Yamauchi asked the most important question.

"I'll go!"

Bodhisattvas also have an angry side, let alone little Pingtai who harbors seven emotions and six desires.

We must completely solve Kai's problem!
