The fall of Tateyama Castle meant that Yonezawa Castle lost all its branches except for Sekine and was completely stripped of its "clothes".

When the Ashina Mori clan learned that Soma Shengyin and others were defeated and captured, and after the fall of Tateyama Castle, another mouthful of old blood spurted out, and then he fell to the ground.

Ashina Mori really fainted this time, so many consecutive critical hits have shattered Ashina Mori's fragile heart, and Ashina Mori has begun to doubt life. And the Ashina Mori clan fainted, and the dragons in Yonezawa Castle were suddenly leaderless, and the few remaining retainers immediately sat in the castle tower of Yonezawa Castle to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tateyama Castle fell, Nikaido and the Ito family were defeated, Nihonmatsu and Ishikawa surrendered, and now our army has lost nearly half of its strength. Moreover, the Echigo Nagao family had already invaded Aizu, and the situation in the rear was unstable, so in the opinion of the next, our army had no choice but to retreat. "An important minister of the Ashina family, the head of the pig Miao generation family, the pig Miao generation Sheng Qing said expressionlessly.

Pig Miao Dai Sheng Qing said this, in fact, he also has his own selfishness in it.

The Pig Miao family has always boasted of being born in the "Yanliu", and looked down on the Ashina family, who was born in the Shuliu and rose strongly, so it has always been an unstable factor. In the tenth year of astronomy, the Inawashiro family launched a rebellion, but it was strongly suppressed by the Ashina family. Although it has stopped a lot now, it doesn't mean that the Pig Miao family has no ideas.

In fact, the Inawashiro family is different from other people, although they are subordinate to the Ashina family, but they are very autonomous, and the head of the Ashina family is generally unable to intervene in the internal affairs of the Ashina family.

It is also reasonable for Inawashiro Shengqing to have this question, because the territory of the Inawashiro family is located in Yama County, and it is only sixty or seventy miles away from the Ashina family's original Kurokawa Castle on the edge of Lake Inashiro. The most important thing is that once the forces of the Nagao family move north towards Yonezawa Castle, then they will inevitably pass through the territory of the Inawashiro family.

Inowashiro Shengqing was already able to predict what the outcome would be if he was not at home by himself, and once the troops of the Nagao family passed by Yema County.

"Pig Miao Daidian, to this day, please focus on the overall situation!" The remaining Tomita Shimi, the remaining of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ashina, was far away in Kurokawa Castle, and Kanami Moribei surrendered, Hirata Shunfan and Sase Tanetsune were captured, and the only Funaoka Castle lord who was still in Yonezawa Castle, Matsumoto Shosuke, said with a nervous expression.

Matsumoto Clan has just taken over the position of his father Matsumoto Shunsuke, and although he is listed as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he actually has a relatively low voice in the family. In addition, Ashina Mori is not there, and Matsumoto Shisuke's waist is not straight at all.

"Matsumoto Books, what do you mean by that? What is selfishness? Pigae Daimori was unhappy, "If you continue to stay in Yonezawa Castle and wait for the forces of the Nagao family to arrive to form an encirclement of Yonezawa Castle, how will you stay at that time?" ”

"Besides, eight or nine out of ten of the troops in the Aizu region have been sent to Yonezawa Castle, and now that thousands of troops from the Nagao family are attacking, Mofer and the others just sit back and watch our territory fall into the hands of the enemy?" Pig Miao Dai Sheng Qing strong words.

Inowashiro Shengqing's words were supported by some of the countrymen, and the Kawahara family and the Yamauchi family echoed their words.

Yamauchi Shuntsu, the head of the Yokota Yamauchi family, directly ridiculed: "Originally, when we sent troops before, we were opposed, but Ashina Hall insisted on going his own way, and even tried in vain to be enemies of the Tsugawa family with the Date family. ”

"Is the Tsugawa family easy to mess with? Now that it's all of a sudden, do we still have a choice? Yamauchi Shuntong spread his hands, looked around, and said loudly.

The Yokota Yamauchi family is the southernmost part of the Aizu Prefecture in the Aizu region, and although the territory is large, the stone height is not high because it is all mountainous, and the population is relatively sparse.

The current head of the Yokota Yamauchi family is Daisuke Shuntong of the Yamauchi Military Department, and the name is hanging to the sky, but it is only self-proclaimed, and the gold content is ..... There is no gold content at all.

The southern area of Aizu was originally a "Three Kingdoms Hegemony" model, and the Yokota Yamauchi family, the Kawahara family, and the Naganuma family stood on three legs, and the Ashina family has always been in open and secret battles. It was only after the Ashina Mori clan succeeded to the throne that they were defeated and surrendered, so if you talk about loyalty, the three families are undoubtedly the lowest.

The Yamauchi family belongs to the descendants of the Fujiwara clan, a tributary of the Yokota clan. In the 10th year of Onei, Tsutoshi Yokota received part of the territory of Onuma Prefecture from Ashikaga Mitsusada, the leader of the Oshu Shinogawa Pipe, and subsequently built Yokota Castle.

Over the course of more than 100 years, the Yamauchi clan has gradually developed into one of the most powerful nations in the southern Aizu region.

And there is another situation that has to be said, that is, the Yamauchi clan can be said to be a master of "stepping on two boats"!

The Yamauchi clan's domain is located in the southwest of Aizu, with the Echigo Nagao clan to the west and the Aizu Ashina clan to the northeast.

In the third year of the turtle, Yamauchi turned his back on the head of the Ashina family and had an affair with the Date family, and soon hugged the thigh of the Nagao family afterwards. In the third year of his reign, when the Echigo guardian generation Nagao was fighting against the rebellion of the Uejo Constitution, some of the remnants of the Uejo family fled to the territory of the Yamauchi family.

At this time, the Yamauchi family secretly colluded with the Nagao family, killed all the remnants of the Kamijo clan, and gave the Nagao family a big gift. Although the style is very shameful, the combat effectiveness of the Yamauchi family is very average, and the army that has defeated the Ashina Mori clan twice has defended the dignity of the Yamauchi family, perhaps this is the so-called "poor mountains and bad water out of the people".

Just as the Shinano people can't do Kai people, they are all forced by poverty.

In fact, although the Yamauchi clan, the Naganuma clan and the Kawaharada clan are average, they are still very famous, and they are tied with the Ashina family as the "Aizu Four", of course, one of the Ashina families can beat the other three.

The Naganuma clan's domain is located in the eastern part of Aizu Prefecture, and the Fujiwara clan is a branch of the Koyama clan.

In the fourth year of Chengping, when the Minamoto Yoritomo raised troops, the Koyama Masamitsu and other Oyama clans also raised troops to participate, and they were deeply trusted by the Minamoto Yoritomo and obtained the post of Shimono Guardian. Oyama Asamasa, a descendant of the Oyama clan, inherited the clan, and the second son, Koyama Somasa, was given the territory of Naganuma Township, Yoga-gun, Shimono Province, and renamed the Naganuma clan.

After that, in the third year of Kano, Naganuma Hidenao moved to Aizu Prefecture and was the ancestor of the Naganuma clan in Okushu.

Unlike the Yamauchi clan, the Naganuma clan is one of the few people in Aizu Province who is close to Ashina. For example, in the second year of Xiangde, civil strife broke out in the Ashina family because of the issue of heirs. The newly succeeded ruler, Ashina Moritsu, with the support of the Shirakawa family, preemptively attacked Matsumoto Youma Yun and Yoga Shogun, who were involved in the rebellion, and ran away directly.

And when passing through the territory of the Naganuma clan, Naganuma Dewa Mamoruyoshi, who was the lord of Tajima Castle at the time, led his troops to attack Matsumoto Youmayoshi and others, and asked for the son of the Yoshiga general.

As for the other Kawahara family, the background is really complicated, and Kira's scalp is numb. Anyway, it was roughly during the civil strife of the Ashina family in the second year of Xiangde, and the Kawahara family also took the opportunity to do something, and after the civil strife subsided, they accepted the remnants of the rebellion and the Ashina family, and by the way, they also mixed up with the Inawashiro family for a wave of prestige.
