Chapter 239: Heaven and Earth (1)
Nagao Jinghu changed his previous style, broke into Ueno Province after a false shot in Vietnam, and caught Hojo Shiyasu off guard, and then after slashing and killing in Ueno to rectify it, he gathered people and horses, and made another false shot, and played Hojo Shiyasu and Takeda Harunobu fiercely, and did not attack Hojo Shiyasu, who was close at hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info on the contrary, it is easy to take the difficult, and across the Yuji Pass, the Shinano strategy of the Nagao family began, and the first target was the plain castle of Kitasaku, Komoro Castle, and Iwao Castle. Due to the surprise, coupled with the fact that this was originally the hinterland of the Takeda family, the deployment of troops was serious, so that the Minowa people and the stables and bridges led by Nagano Yoshimasa were victorious.
Kai Tiger Takeda Harunobu rushed to Suwa's Uehara Castle day and night, and was greeted by the head of the Akagin Tiger and the destruction of the Kitasaku Takeda Army.
He was shocked. He initially received an urgent warning letter from Zhujiao Torada, saying that a group of thieves from Ueno Province had attacked Hirahara Castle and severely damaged the Kitasaku Takeda army, and it was likely that Nagano Yoshimasa's men and horses were men. Although he felt that the situation was serious, he did not pay enough attention to it, and even mistook it for Nagano Yoshimasa's harassment war, trying to use this incident to delay the actions of the Takeda family, so that the Takeda family could not help Hojo. Although Nagao Keihu said that he captured Ueno Province, it would take a lot of time to digest it, not to mention that Hojo Shiyasu gathered thirty or forty thousand horses to set up a formation on the border line close to Ueno Country, and the threat that was close at hand was not eliminated, and he came to Shinano to open a second front, with his understanding of Nagao Keito, he should not do such a stupid thing.
Takeda Harunobu believed that Nagao Keitora crossed the border and attacked Kitasaku as a false shot, just like what he did in Vietnam, and the ultimate goal was to lure Hojo Shiyasu into Ueno Province and achieve the goal of massively gathering and destroying the Hojo army.
He had studied Nagao Keitora very well, and knew that Nagao Keitora was good at fighting large-scale annihilation wars, and he probably imagined that he would attract the main forces of the Hojo clan Yasushi to Ueno Province, and then gather and annihilate them, so that Musashi, Sagami, Izu and other places would only be able to submit to Nagao Keitor's force, which would be faster than forcing the Hojo family to submit through an attack from city to city. What's more, Hojo Shiyasu has been running Odawara Castle for a long time, and it is very difficult to break through this fortified castle, which is known as an infallible fortress. If Nagao Keitora can gather and annihilate the main force of the Hojo family in the field battle and defeat the courage of the Hojo family, it will be of great benefit to him to break through Odawara Castle.
He thought that he had seen through Nagao Jinghu's intentions, of course, he did not have the obligation to convey it to Hojo Shiyasu, and he also understood the truth that people would not be destroyed for themselves, but he did not rush to gather people, but instead wrote a letter asking Zhujiao Tiger to wait for everything to be cheap, saying that with the strength of more than 1,000 Takeda troops in Kitasaku, it was enough to exterminate the "thieves".
However, the more Takeda Harunobu feared something, the faster it came. Zhujiao Huding's second urgent letter surprised him, the plain city was broken, the city was killed, and with Zhujiao Huding's urgent mail, Sanada Yukitaka, the lord of Matsuo Castle in Sanada Village, a small prefecture, also arrived.
Sanada Yutaka's emergency document made Takeda Harunobu unable to sit still at all, and he urgently requisitioned 3,500 Takeda troops and hurried to Shinano to suppress the thieves, mainly to strike hard at the enemy troops who crossed the border, hurt the enemy army, and forced the other party not to dare to continue to offend.
Takeda Harunobu looked at the head of the Jacked Tiger, with the arrival of the head of the Jacked Tiger, it was enough to explain everything, the enemy was not a small group of enemy troops, but a large-scale invasion of Ueno Country, the so-called Nagano Yemasa was just the pioneer who opened the way, and there was Nagao Jinghu behind.
Mokaku Tiger is a Takeda pedigree with the blood of Kai Genji, the sixth son of Takeda Harumobuto's great-grandfather Takeda Nobumasa, and is praised by Takeda Nobuta as "good at bows and arrows, excellent martial arts" people, originally served as the lord of Shinano Kashiwa Castle, from Kitasa Saku-gun on behalf of Takeda Nobushige to Mikawa, by the Kakutoko Tiger temporarily acting as the county representative.
The more Takeda Harunobu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the severity of this matter had exceeded his imagination, he was not afraid of Nagano Yoshimasa, and even fearless of the invasion of Nagao Keihu behind Nagano Yoshimasa, but it was another 200-day confrontation.
However, the drawbacks of losing 4,000 elites finally appeared, and the wild samurai in Shinano who had been scattered by the Takeda family were ready to move, and they needed a large number of men and horses to suppress various places, and they were really unable to mobilize enough troops to resist the invasion of Nagao Keitor.
Takeda Harunobu must ask for help from the Hojo clan as quickly as possible, and in the name of the alliance of Zentokuji Temple, the two families will unite to flank the Nagao Keitora of Ueno Province, and the fear of change will be delayed. However, as for whether Hojo Shiyasu can send troops, Takeda Harunobu is very optimistic.
Even in such a grim situation, Takeda Harunobu was still as steady as Mount Tai, but his frowning brows showed his anxiety at the moment, and his cold face was full of exhaustion.
Suddenly, Nobuyo Daiakiyama of Ina Prefecture arrived in a hurry, and seeing that Takeda Harunobu was sad, the fierce bull of Takeda shouted: "My lord, now is not the time to be sentimental, you should think carefully about how to lead us and others to repel the invading thieves of Echigo." ”
Without waiting for Takeda Harunobu to speak, his son-in-law Kiso Yoshimasa hurriedly walked into the conference room, glanced at Akiyama Nobutomo, and then bypassed him and came to Takeda Harunobu, and reported in a low voice: "Shin Fan Gong has come back and asked for a secret meeting with the lord." ”
Takeda Harunobu's eyes lit up, he knew that Kiso Yoshimasa would not be open-mouthed, so his younger brother Takeda Nobuyoshi should really come back, but why not return openly, and have a secret meeting with him secretly, could it be?
Takeda Harunobu thought of a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, and asked urgently, "Where is he?" ”
Kiso Yoshimasa replied: "It has been brought, and in the entourage of the minister, Shin Fan Gong told him that it was best not to tell others the news of his return. ”
Takeda Harunobu bowed slightly, tapped his hand, and said, "Got it, bring him in!" ”
Kiso Yoshimasa nodded and stepped back.
Takeda Harunobu glanced at Nobuyo Akiyama, who retreated to the door, and said, "You go down too, let me think about the countermeasures, how to break the situation?" ”
Nobuyo Akiyama was a little suspicious of what the message Kiso Yoshimasa had just conveyed was that could make Takeda Harunobu regain his spirits all of a sudden, but he was a person who didn't explore secrets, and he knew that curiosity killed the cat, so he retreated.
When he walked to the entrance, Akiyama Nobutomo saw Kiso Yoshimasa enter the conference room again with a masked guard, he felt a little familiar, and he didn't know where he saw it from the back of the other party, and suddenly an image appeared in his mind, right? Akiyama Nobuyo shook his head, thinking in his heart, this is impossible, the whereabouts of the other party in the Battle of Mikawa are unknown, and it is rumored that he has been captured by the Date family.
Nobutomo Akiyama guessed correctly, it was Takeda Nobuyoshi who was dressed up in disguise and hurried all the way back to Shinano. (To be continued.) )
