A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

When the army in the mountains went up to Luo, the partial division was victorious, and the generals were naturally delighted.

There was no need to discuss it. Yamauchi Yoshiho naturally granted the title of Ena County and became the Lord of Iwa Village. All the wealthy Chinese people who came to take refuge were assigned to Yamauchi Yoshiho.

As for Kiso Yoshimasa and Ogasawara Sadakei, they cannot retreat for the time being. According to Koheta's estimation, the Yamauchi army will defeat the Tokugawa family within the year, capture the important Mikawa town of Okazaki, and will invade Owari in the spring of next year. At that time, Ena County's Yamauchi Yoshiho will have two options. One is to threaten Gifu's flanks and hold back part of Oda Nobunaga's main force. The second is to move southward along the Kiso River and Nagara River, directly threatening the rear of Oda Nobunaga who was out in battle at Owari.

Although this team is a partial force, it can still be used to great effect. Naturally, it is impossible to allow him to be disbanded on the spot.

All the security notices issued by Yamauchi Yoshitsune were approved by Ashikaga Yosho, who also ordered people to send one thousand taels of gold to Yamauchi Yoshitsho. The poor people in these valleys are so big that one thousand taels of gold is enough to reward them.

The topic naturally returned to the three parties of the Yama family in front of them. Okuhira Sadamasa would definitely not surrender depending on the situation. Although the Yamauchi Army sent someone to tell him that he would surrender to Andu as a courtesy, but they just said that Tokugawa Ieyasu treated him with great kindness, so there was no need to discuss the matter.

In turn, he persuaded the Yamauchi family to withdraw their troops. The Gifu army in Mino would soon lead an army of 100,000 to Mikawa. By then, it would be devastating and the Yamauchi army would definitely be defeated.

There’s no need to talk (show hands).

"Shitara Castle, how is Suganuma Hyogosuke doing?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki was asking Uden Nagateru.

"Hyogosuke said that there is a military supervisor sent by Tokugawa Mikawa in the city. Although he is interested, it will take a few days." Uden Nagateru did not dare to underestimate any generation of the head of the Yamauchi family.

"Military supervisor?"

"Yes, my name is Ishikawa Matashichiro Narimatsu." Hearing Hosokawa's question, Uden Nagateru also answered quickly.

There are two main branches of the Mikawa Ishikawa clan. One is the Ishikawa Bokishou family, which is the Ishikawa Sumasa family. The other family is the Ishikawa Hyuga Mori family, that is, the family of Ishikawa Ienari, the uncle of Ishikawa Sumasa, who was praised by Tokugawa Ieyasu as "the most honest and loyal man in Mikawa".

Ishikawa Narumatsu was born in the Ishikawa Hyuga family and was the younger brother of Ishikawa Ienari. He was obviously a die-hard member of the Tokugawa family, and he didn't seem to be the type to surrender.

"He's just a military supervisor, not a general of reinforcements. He's just a few people. Can't Hyogo help him to deal with them?" Koheita knew that this was Suganuma Masada's desire for a good price.

After all, the three parties of the Shan family are united in the same spirit. Once someone surrenders, it will inevitably cause an avalanche-like effect. Most of the countryside in Higamo County and Shitara County will fall to the Yamauchi family, but the key point is that there needs to be a leader.

Otherwise, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not kind to them, and they had sold Tokugawa Ieyasu just after the war, and his reputation would definitely become stinky and despised by others.

Masada Suganuma is willing to take the lead, but what price will the Yamauchi family give him?

"Hyogo Suke also has difficulties..." Uden Nagateru began to help Suganuma Masada speak. Who knows if the two people have any deal.

After all, Uden Nagateru has served the Yamauchi family for more than ten years. As a qualified foreigner, he is quite obedient and has never disobeyed the Yamauchi family's recruitment. Not sure what he would do to Yamauchi.

"The reason?"

The Yamaka Sanfangzhong does not mean that there are three noble clans of the country in this place, but refers to the Okuhira clan and the Suganuma clan that are divided into three main strongholds: Sakushou, Nagamon (Nagashino), and Danling.

The Okuhira clan actually has branches, but the main lineage is Okuhira Samasho. But the Suganuma clan is different. It is really a new style, and it is a joy to see. It has been torn internally for a hundred years, and now there are four Suganuma clans standing on the table. In addition to the Suganuma family, there are also the Tamine Suganuma family, the Nagashino Suganuma family, and the Noda Suganuma family.

Masada Suganuma was the head of the Nagashino Suganuma family. He had two goals. One was to hope that the Yamauchi family would take action and make him the flag-head acting official of Shitara County. Then he would be promoted from the branch family to the main family and integrate the entire Suganuma family. clan.

The second one was naturally to return to Changxiao City, their home base, instead of settling in Shilecheng, a branch city of Changxiao.

The conditions are not too excessive. The person who is most loyal to the Yamauchi clan must be chosen as the flag bearer of Shitara County. Masada Suganuma, who was the first to express his willingness to surrender, is tantamount to severing himself from the Tokugawa clan. He will definitely not be able to go back in the future. There is only one way to get to the dark side, which he can completely promise.

However, Nagashino Castle is a fortified castle located on the edge of the cliff where the Ono River and Hansa River meet. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's always a bit uneasy to hand over such a castle to a Chinese.

"Give it to him!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at Xiaoheita and Hosokawa Saime. Seeing that neither of them raised any objections, they just felt that the condition was slightly disgusting, so he simply agreed directly.

"Your Highness, you are truly tolerant of Hakuda!" Koheita actually knew that he would have to give it to Suganuma Masada, and he was actually worried that Ashikaga Yoshiaki would not agree, but in the end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki agreed very quickly.

"It will be as Your Highness wishes!" Hosokawa picked the girl naturally.

"I would like to express my gratitude to you, Your Highness, on behalf of Hyogo!" Uden Nagateru saw that Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the two servants all agreed, and even the other judges did not object, so they immediately agreed.

"Tell Hyogosuke to open the city before noon tomorrow!"

"Save money, save money!"

After saying this, Uden Nagasho left the tent and told his family to fly to Shitara City. The round trip was fast, and the news could be spread into the city in an hour at most.

That night, Suganuma Masada tied up Ishikawa Narumatsu and surrendered in person at the Yamauchi Army camp. Koheta was not interested in looking at Masada Suganuma, but was somewhat interested in Ishikawa Narumatsu, who had a bruised nose and swollen face.

At first glance, Ishikawa Narumatsu was only in his early twenties. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and his hands were tied behind his back. He didn't say anything when he entered the shogunate, didn't answer any questions, and looked like he was ready to die.

"Are you the military supervisor sent by Mikawa Shou to Shitara?" Koheita walked up to him.

"That's it!"

"That's not so bad."

"Hmph! I'll kill you or cut you into pieces, it's up to you!"

"Do you know who is sitting here?" Koheita turned around and gestured to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

"So what if it's Shimomataro-den?" Of course Ishikawa Narumatsu knew Ashikaga Yoshiaki's name. The name was so resounding that it would be strange if he didn't know it.

"Your Highness is in need of a horse-driver, would you be willing to do so?"

"A loyal minister has nothing to do with the two masters!"

Xiaopingtai didn't argue with him and sent someone to tie him up carefully. Give him hot soup and rice every day so as not to starve to death. After all, he is named Ishikawa. He might still be useful when attacking Okazaki in the future.

On the second day, Shile City opened!

After hearing the news, Tianmine Castle Suganuma Sadachu, and Zushou Castle Okuhira will definitely come to surrender on the same day.

The originally impregnable Nagashino defense line was suddenly reduced to the two separate isolated cities of Nagashino and Noda.
