Asakura Yoshikei sent the Tsuruga Prefecture Division, Asakura Keiki, to Wakasa to help suppress the rebellion, but under the attack of the combined forces of Takeda and Asakura, Masakatsune Izumi suffered a crushing defeat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the civil strife was slightly quelled, the presence of the Asakura army further weakened the Takeda clan's rule over Wakasa.
In August of the ninth year of Eiroku, Ashikaga Yoshiaki (Ashikaga Yoshiaki) arrived in Wakasa Kohama Prefecture and asked his brother-in-law Takeda Yoshitomi to help him Kamiraku. However, Yoshitomi was caught in a battle with his eldest son, Takeda Motoaki, who had the support of the Asakura clan, and was unable to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki Kamiraku.
Soon Takeda Yoshitomi passed away in frustration, Takeda Yoshitoi died, and in the 11th year of Eiroku, the Asakura clan immediately sent troops to Wakasa, and sent the family governor Takeda Motoaki from Wakasa to Ichijo Valley Castle in the name of protection, effectively ending the Takeda clan's rule over Wakasa.
As Kuroda Vocational High School said, the constant infighting, coupled with the lack of a strong family owner, made the originally powerful Wakasa country guardian family essentially go to extinction.
"What Kuroda Minbe-sama said is true, and my Wakasa Takeda clan did indeed perish because of this. After his father's defeat in the battle for Wakasa Province, he wandered around with his father, and his father's greatest wish was to one day return to Wakasa Province, the Wakasa country ruled by the Takeda clan. However, my father had passed away due to illness a few years ago, and now he could not fulfill his wish. ”
"Then you ...... now"
"Now I hope to go out to the Kuroda family, and with the Kuroda family's conquest, I may be able to fulfill my father's wish one day." Takeda Motomitsu said without hesitation.
"Hmm!"
"Young Master, this person's martial arts are not bad, and he can guarantee it." Hisamamori Takeuchi said.
"Hmmm! If it weren't good, I guess I wouldn't have been brought in! Daisuke Miyauchi's martial arts are extraordinary, and I believe in your words. Kuroda said with a smile.
"The young master's eyes are like torches." Hisamamori Takeuchi said.
"Lord Takeda, then tell me what you are better at!" Kuroda asked.
"In the lower martial arts, it is the sword technique of the ancestor Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, who is good at waka." Motomitsu Takeda replied honestly.
"I heard that the sixth-generation head of your family, Takeda Motomitsu, is also a person who is good at waka, right?"
"Hey! When my father was in the Yuan service, he deliberately took the same name as his ancestor for Zaixia, hoping that he would not be involved in the war, and just live on waka. But my father's thoughts are completely incompatible. I, the descendants of the Wakasa Takeda clan, have never been greedy for life and afraid of death, and I hope to restore the glory of my ancestors rather than live well. ”
"Hmmm! In this case, you will first be the little head of the family, and then you will have military achievements, and then you will be slowly promoted, do you have an opinion? Kuroda asked.
"Hey! In the next will serve the Kuroda family to die. ”
"Takeda-sama, I think there's something you've gotten wrong." Kuroda Vocational High School said suddenly at this time.
"Please make it clear to the young master."
"Your father is right, in the troubled times, you have to work hard to live, only by living, you can have hope of reviving Wakasa Takeda, remember?"
"Hey! The meaning of the young master is understood below. ”
Counting Minakami-gun, as well as the Shiomi clan, the largest force in Amada Prefecture that had previously surrendered, the entire western half of Amada Prefecture has also fallen into the hands of the Kuroda family, and the Kuroda family has gained a foothold in the western part of Tanba Province.
And the most important thing is that the territory occupied by the Kuroda family happens to border the country of Tajima, and through their own skills, this army is no longer alone, and even in case of emergency, they can smoothly withdraw their skills.
However, the most important thing for Kuroda Vocational High School is that Minakami Prefecture not only borders Tajima Province, but also Harima Province, and the border is located in the northeastern part of Bessho's territory. The Kuroda family has never been at war with the other family, in addition to the branch city turtle formation of the other family, but also because of the Miyoshi family, because of Honganji, now the Kuroda family has started a war with the Miyoshi family, which is considered a lack of constraints, as long as the Honganji factor can be removed, the Kuroda family can use troops against the other family.
At that time, from Harima Province to the east, but Equestria Province to the south, and Tanba Province to the west, it is completely possible to send out a three-way army to advance simultaneously, and whether the other houses can still defend layer by layer at that time is a question, and the Kuroda family has a siege weapon.
After thinking about it, Kuroda decided to turn south and head to Taki County, where two wealthy families he knew were waiting for him.
One is the Hatano clan, which currently occupies Kusano Castle and later becomes the overlord of Tanba Kingdom, and the current head of the Hatano clan is Hideji Hatano, and his two brothers Hidesho Hatano and Hideka Nikaido
He is also his right-hand man. At the same time, the Hatano clan also had the Araki clan, the lord of the Zokosho Castle, and was a powerful wealthy family that resisted the Oda family for several years, and its strength should not be underestimated.
The other is the Shinoi clan, a wealthy clan that occupies the Shinoyama Basin in Taki County, Tamba Province.,The head of his family, Sakai Kyoye.,In the impression of Kuroda Vocational High School.,But it's the same name as Akai Naomasa.,A fierce general known as Tanba Blue Ghost.。
Kuroda Vocational High School led the army after a half-day rush and came to the territory of Taki County.
"Young lord, in front of you is Ichihara Castle owned by the Hatano clan." Naito Sadakatsu pointed in one direction to Kuroda Vocational High School and said, after all, he is the head snake of Tanba Country, and at this time, he must behave well in front of Kuroda Vocational High School.
"Hatano clan?" Kuroda vocational high school responded, will the Hatano clan have Hatano Yui? I'm looking forward to it!
But Kuroda Vocational High School's YY, in the eyes of everyone around, has become thoughtful, and has become an unfathomable performance.
Ichihara Castle was the main defensive base of the Hatano family in the northwest, and it was also an important place to guard the border of the Hatano family, and the shogun was Ishida Sanjo, one of the main retainers of the Hatano family. The castle was a mountain castle with a difficult terrain, and when the defenders saw the arrival of the Kuroda family's army, they immediately sent people to Kusano Castle to inform Hatano Hideharu of the news.
At the same time, Ishida Sannosei ordered that the gate be closed immediately and prepare for the cage castle.
However, the Kuroda family's army has been resting in Kuroi Castle for many days, and there is not only a crossbow in the array, but also many fierce generals who have pressed the formation, and in just one round of attacks, Ichihara Castle has been captured.
Ishihara Castle Defender Ishida Sannojo faced the attack of the Kuroda family, and preferred to die rather than surrender, and finally died in the Imperial Pavilion under the sword of Tsuchihi Yahachi.
"Brother, I just got the news that Kuroda Vocational High School has already brought people over, and the army is full of three thousand, seven or seven hundred, presumably Ichihara Castle has been captured now!" Hidesho Hatano said. (To be continued.) )
