Chapter 123: Three Years (II)

Just like the Tetori River Battle in history, the army of the Oda family, which had an absolute superiority in numbers, could not defeat more than 10,000 Uesugi Kenshin, and this time it was the same. The 20,000 Oda family army that had been preparing to set out from Azuchi Castle to rescue Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately turned north to support Shibata Katsuie. No matter how good the relationship between the Tokugawa family is, even if Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu wore the same pants when they were young, the two families are allies after all, how can the alliance be compared with their own safety?

And the safety of Hokuriku Province is directly related to the life and death of the Oda family, and Oda Nobunaga still knows how to choose, so he can only let the Tokugawa family burn incense and pray by himself.

In addition, as a retainer of the Oda family, the Takayama clan had already occupied most of Hida Province at this time, and he only needed to capture Miki Castle of the sister Koji family to realize the ambition of suppressing Hida Province.

However, at this time, Oda Nobunaga assigned him a mission order, and he had to go from Hida Province to help Shibata Katsuie. If you want to help, the Gaoshan clan agreed without hesitation.

Because just two years ago, Shibata Katsuie married his daughter to the Takayama clan, a high-ranking samurai who had the faint possibility of becoming a legion commander in the Oda family. This is not only the value of him, but also the investment of Shibata Katsuya in him.

At present, Sister Xiaolu's family is in Miki City, and there are only less than 160 or 70 defenders left. So the Takayama clan left his subordinate Yamauchi Kazutoyo to lead two hundred elite soldiers to guard the hostile Miki Castle. In these two thousand Hida countries, he went straight to the Echizen country.

Just after the Oda family gave up the rescue, the Tokugawa family, which had been disabled by the Takeda family, unexpectedly blocked the crazy attack of the Takeda family.

There's really something to say about this, and this time as the main defensive force, it's Matsudaira Kiyomune, who is a member of the Tokugawa family, and Matsudaira Kiyomune actually mentioned it before.

When the Takeda family fought the Imagawa family, the Tokugawa family tried to come over and get a piece of the pie. As a result, what the Tokugawa family did not expect was that the Takeda family's advantage was so easy to take advantage of, and the Takeda family turned around after beating the Imagawa family and came back to fight the Tokugawa family.

The Takeda family's red reserve cavalry team led by Ariyama Prefecture Masakai was a world-famous killer, and with the current strength of the Tokugawa family, it was not its opponent at all, so it was defeated at that time.

At that critical time, Matsudaira Kiyomune, a young member of the Tokugawa family, stepped forward, and after losing once, he once again called on the local nobles and countrymen to defend with him, and finally defended the High Heavenly God Castle. Repelled the Takeda family brigade that had been fighting for a long time.

This time, it was this young man who took the initiative to ask for battle, and the Tokugawa family had only 2,000 men left at this time because of heavy casualties. At this time, you can see the courage of Tokugawa Ieyasu, anyway, it is a dead horse as a horse doctor, and Tokugawa Ieyasu decisively sent a thousand men and horses to Matsudaira Kiyomune.

Because if Matsudaira Kiyomune can't get the final victory anyway, then the Tokugawa family won't have a good result, so simply let Matsudaira Kiyomune gamble as a bet money.

The final result was that Tokugawa Ieyasu was right, Matsudaira Kiyomune, a young man who was not amazing, although he left a name in history, but there were not many deeds of the Tokugawa family. But it seems to be an expert in defense.

It was he who led a thousand soldiers and held the attack of the Takeda family for three months in isolation. After the war, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to him excitedly, you are the pillar of our Tokugawa family, which also moved Matsudaira Kiyomune very much.

As for Tokugawa Ieyasu's so-called excitement, there is a bit of acting in it, and a little bit of sincerity, then only Tokugawa Ieyasu himself knows, this old turtle is an Oscar-winning actor.

And Naomasa Ii, one of the future Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings in history, this young man from Toe Province. He also made a name for himself in this battle, attracting the attention of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who transferred him to the position of a direct minister of the Tokugawa family.

The Oda family, which had already gathered 40,000 people in the north, was defeated by 10,000 Uesugi families under the personal leadership of Oda Nobunaga, and this time the location of the defeat of the Oda family was in Ichijo Valley Castle in Echizen Province.

Just when Oda Nobunaga shouted in frustration, we are not the opponent of the Uesugi family, the Oda family's royal eight qi unfolded again.

The Uesugi family's retainer, Shinfa Tato Atsushi, took advantage of the absence of the army led by Uesugi Kenshin to launch a rebellion against the Uesugi family, and had already begun to attack the castle to which Yang Beizhong belonged.

This is incredible, the importance of Yang Beizhong in the Uesugi family is self-evident, and Yang Beizhong's strength in the Uesugi family is really huge, so even if Uesugi Kenshin is unwilling to give up this best opportunity to defeat Oda Nobunaga and continue to go to Shangluo to save the shogun, but in the end, he can only return to Echigo Province with the army.

At the same time, Uesugi Kenshin did not leave too many soldiers in Echizen Province, because he knew that even if he left his men and horses, facing the Oda family, which could organize an army of 40,000, as long as he was not there, he would not be an opponent at all, and he should not lose his strength at all.

After picking up a one-time life from the Uesugi family, the Oda family immediately led the army by Oda Nobunaga and turned the road to attack the Tango Province of the Kuroda family, and Hideyoshi Hashiba led his own army of 5,000 people to contain the Kuroda family's army in Tanba Province.

Kuroda Vocational High School, who had already sent troops to Bunzen Province, and Kakukuma Ishimune were inseparably fighting on the border of Kifu County, and when they heard that the Oda family's tens of thousands of troops were attacking Tango Province, they immediately couldn't calm down.

The Kuroda family only had 4,000 members of the Muri Legion in Tango Province, and all the soldiers of Tanba Province were contained, which completely disrupted Kuroda's plan.

After leaving 5,000 elites in the rescue county, he led an army of 20,000 to land near the mountain castle of the Tango National Construction Department two days later, and quickly began to fight with the Oda family.

Before Kuroda's arrival, under the arrangement of Sanada Masanobu, he led 5,000 men to Tanba Province to assist the Kodera clan, and successfully defeated Hashiba Hideyoshi's army by virtue of his numerical superiority. In such a battle, Sanada Masayuki didn't even use the conspiracy he was best at, so it was relatively easy to win!

Just as Sanada Masanobu was preparing to lead troops to aid Tango Province, Matsunaga Hide, with 10,000 soldiers, approached Tanba Province from Yamashiro Province and joined the defeated troops of Hashiba Hideyoshi, numbering more than 13,000 people.

Matsunaga Hideno is a world-famous resourceful man, and Sanada Masanobu is also an outstanding young military advisor of the Kuroda family, plus the Kodera clan, a proud protégé of Kuroda Shoda's high school, the two are generally able to maintain a balance of power against Matsunaga Hide's army.
