Chapter 720: A Signal for War!

"Kawahara Castle has been captured????" Togo Yoshisuke couldn't believe his eyes, "Could it be that the enemy forces in Kawahara Castle surrendered on their own initiative?" "Togo Yoshisuke seems to be the only one possibility when he thinks about it.

Yukihide Hazu shook his head, and then said in a very excited tone, "It's Yoshikawa-sama!" Yoshikawa-sama intercepted the enemy's grain convoy on the banks of the Koganegawa River, and then infiltrated the people who were planning to pretend to be grain convoys into Kawahara Castle. Immediately after Yoshikawa-sama took control of Nanoka Goshin and others in one fell swoop, the rest of the mob scattered and fled. ”

"Lord Togo, go and take over Kawahara Castle, although the city has been captured, there are still many aftermath things to deal with!" Looking at Togo Yoshiyu, who was still in a stupor, Yukihide Hazu hurriedly reminded.

At this time, Togo Yoshiyu finally woke up from the shock, "I see!! It's Yoshikawa-sama, it's really beyond our expectations! ”

"Enter the city immediately, let the ashigaru under your command be on guard, and prevent other chaos from happening!" Togo Yoshiyu continued.

"Hah!"

........

In Kawahara Castle, Yoshikawa Hiroshi sat proudly in the castle tower, looking at Asahi Takayoshi and Nanoka Guxin and others kneeling in the hall, Yoshikawa Hiroshi couldn't help but say, "Nanoka Guxin, there are many ways to restore the family name, why did you choose to launch a single way?" Can't you go out of your own house? I thought that with your talent, sooner or later the name of the Nangang family would be revitalized! ”

Nangang Guxin said angrily, "My Langoka family is a descendant of the Kitabatake clan, and it is called the Langoka Imperial Palace, how can it be that the Tsugawa family is out of the district?" ”

"Oh? Tsugawa family? Yoshikawa Hiroya didn't get angry, but looked at Nanoka Gushin with a funny face, "Since in your eyes, the family is not enough, then why does the family now sit on half of the land of Ouha, and your self-proclaimed extraordinary Nangang family doesn't even have any territory left?" ”

"You!" Hearing the sarcasm of the Yoshikawa Hiroka, although Nanoka Goshin had the heart to refute, he couldn't find any excuse to refute.

Seeing that Nanoka Gu was silent, Yoshikawa Hiroya turned his head to Asahi Takayoshi on the side and said, "It is said that Lord Asahi was also a famous samurai in Tsugaru back then, why can't you see the current situation clearly?" ”

"Going against this family is undoubtedly the way to die, and now, not only is there no hope for the revitalization of the family name, but I am afraid that the two of them will inevitably die." The Yoshikawa Hiroshi family actually admires the obsession of Langoka Gushin and others from the bottom of their hearts, but now that they belong to the enemy, the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family is helpless.

As soon as Yoshikawa Hiroka's voice fell, Asahi Takayashi on the side said loudly with a frightened face, "Yoshikawa-sama, this... I was really coerced in the next, and this matter was definitely not what I wanted, and I hope that Lord Yoshikawa will explain it in front of the Tsugawa Palace. I'm willing to return to the Tsugawa family from now on, and I will never have two hearts from now on! ”

"Huh!" Yoshikawa Hiroya glanced at Asahi Takayoshi in disgust, and then said disdainfully, "The samurai family like Lord Asahi is not very ordinary, and the Asahi family doesn't even have any territory now, so what qualifications do you have to come and talk to the family??? ”

"Humph! Death is death, even if I die standing, I don't want to kneel and live! Langoka Guxin on the side also said as if he were dead.

The words of the two are compared, and the judgment is made! He is worthy of being a samurai of the Nanoka family, a famous family of Mutsu, and even the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family can't help but be in awe of such a spirit. However, it is a pity that although the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family admires the courage of Nanoka Gushin very much, the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family has no right to decide the life and death of Nanoka Guxin, and everything still has to wait for Tsugawa Soji to decide.

Half an hour later, Togo Yoshisuke slowly entered Langgang Castle, and after seeing Yoshikawa Hiroka, he suddenly said excitedly, "Haha! Yoshikawa-sama deserves to be the number one general in his family, and today's events are really eye-opening! ”

"Everywhere, it's just luck." It is rare that the Yoshikawa Hiroke family is also modest, which makes Togo Yoshisuke can't help but sigh.

"Togo-sama, Nanoka Goshin, Asahi Takayoshi and others have all been captured, and the rest have basically escaped except for the main participants." Yoshikawa Hiroke then said, "What should we do next?" ”

Togo Yoshiyu thought for a moment, and then replied, "Immediately send someone to inform the lord of the news of the pacification, and then post a decree to appease the people, check out the diehards, and send patrols to patrol the territory to prevent other ill-intentioned people from taking advantage of the chaos and looting!" ”

"In addition, escort Langoka Gushin and others to Ueno Castle and let the lord dispose of it!" Togo Yoshiyu said slowly.

"Hah!"

.........

It had been several days since Soharu Tsukawa learned that Ichiku, who had been pacified in Tsugaru Prefecture.

When it was learned from the letter sent by Togo Yoshiyu that Nanaoka Gushin and others had also been captured, Tsugawa Soji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that the instability in the rear is gone, I can finally send troops to the Yuqian area with confidence." Soji Tsugawa stood in the attic of the castle tower of Ueno Castle, looked to the south, and whispered, "Aru, your plan can be implemented now." ”

"Someone! Immediately send a message to Jiro Iwaki and ask him to return to Ueno Castle immediately! ”

"In addition, we will gather all the retainers above the castle of Senhoku, Yuri, Hirako, Akita, Yamamoto, and Okatsu to participate in the assessment in five days!"

"Hah!" As soon as Tsugawa Soji's words fell, the voice of Yajima Tadabei answered not far away.

.........

In June of the fifteenth year of astronomy, during this time, in addition to the Tsugawa family's territory, there were also constant wars in various parts of the Ou region!

The Daihoji family, a wealthy clan in the Shonai area, once again launched an attack on the Saragoe family, and the Sarawatsu family held on to the cage castle and confronted the Daihoji family for nearly half a month, and the battle was very fierce.

A fierce battle also broke out between the guardian of Mutsu, Date Minoru, and his son, Date Harumune, and the two sides gathered more than 7,000 troops and began a new battle with the help of various supporters.

Still, ginger is still old and spicy! Date Harumune was defeated and fled under the strategy of Date Minoru. After this defeat, Date Harumune learned from the pain and decided to turn the tide of the war in another way. At the same time, he actively sent envoys to Ashina and other forces to carry out diplomatic goodwill, and then sent people to spread rumors among other forces that supported Date Minoru, so as to sow discord among these people.

If you are not an opponent militarily, then use diplomatic means, which is the "ancestor" trick of the Date family, and Date Harumune has obviously learned it very well.

On June 11, the Mogami family sent troops to attack the important branch of Tiantong City, Zangzengcheng, the lord of Zangzeng City, and it was difficult to support the city when the city fell, and all 54 ashigaru in the city were killed.

The head of the Tiantong family, Tiantong Lai Chang, hurriedly organized troops and Caged Castle with Tiantong City, and then sent people to ask for help from Shiratori, Yanze, Aoka, Changjing, Chengsheng, Kumano and other people.

On June 14, the 3,000 troops of the Tiantong family and other Chinese coalition troops were assembled in Tiantong City, and the 3,400 troops of the Mogami family also set up a formation outside Tiantong City in two ways, and a big battle was about to break out!

At the same time, in the territory of the Tsugawa family, a rumor also spread in the territory at a very fast speed.
