Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 411: Yizhao uprising

Kyoto, Nijo Gosho

Ashikaga Yoshiaki took out a piece of letter paper, and smiled to the neighbors, saying: "Nobunaga is at the end. Takeda Ozen won a big victory in Mikatahara, defeating the Oda Tokugawa Allied Forces, and beheading more than 2,000 people."

The close ministers, headed by Keito Yamaoka and Eemon Isogai, all looked refreshed after hearing this news and congratulated Ashikaga Yoshiaki

Shangang Jingyou, that is, the monk Siam Khan, is now in the common name of Shangang Jingyou

Yamaoka Keiyou smiled and said, "After the triumphant victory of the Mikatahara, Tokugawa was unable to hinder the Takeda Army's way to Los Angeles. Now only waiting for Shingen to attack Owari, he can destroy Oda in one fell swoop..."

"not necessarily"

Hearing that someone interrupted him abruptly, Yamaoka Keiyou didn't show the slightest irritation. Instead, he turned around and said respectfully to the person who interrupted him: "Master Zuo Jing, please advise."

This Sakyo-sama is Nobutora Takeda

Takeda Shintora said directly: "At the moment the Asakura family retreats, the Asai family is unable to support it alone, and the encirclement of Nobunaga's west is already empty. If you enter Owari at this time, there is not enough chance of winning in the decisive battle with Nobunaga."

Another courtier, Isgai Eemon said: "However, there are still Lee Tajima at Takeda Ozen, and Akiyama Hakuchi two armies can contain Nobunaga from the north."

After listening to Isgai Eemon’s words, Nobutora Takeda cast his eyes across the opponent.

Seeing Shintora’s murderous gaze, Isogai Eemon dropped his gaze and stopped talking when he thought of what this person had done in the past.

Nobuto Takeda directly said to Ashikaga Yoshiaki: "My Takeda family was invited by His Highness, Asakura, and Asai to eradicate Nobunaga Oda, the enemy of the Buddha. In a strong confrontation, Oda Tokugawa's two families won the triohara victory."

"But the food and grass spent by the 30,000 army is heavier. When 10,000 troops gather, the people who transport the food will be twice as much as the army. At the moment, the food and grass of the army are still reliable. If Nobunaga is standing by a strong wall, and when our army is exhausted, if we lead the army to attack it, the whole army will be destroyed."

Nobuto Takeda, who spent the past years in Kai Kanto, has experience and qualifications in the art of war, and no one can refute his opinions.

"What Takeda Daisen lacks is nothing more than reinforcements all the way, just to share Nobunaga's army," Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood up and said

Nobuto Takeda nodded, and said, "Just as Gongfangdian said, but where can you call for reinforcements now?"

"In that case, I will lead the soldiers myself" Ashikaga Yoshiaki said loudly

Nobuura Takeda was slightly surprised when he heard the words, and looked up at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as if he knew someone again.

Before that, Nobuto Takeda thought Ashikaga Yoshiaki was a lack of courage. Compared with the former general Ashikaga Yoshiki, when the Miyoshi trio dealt with his elder brother, Ashikaga Yoshiki knew that he was lost, and he still fought bravely.

In contrast, Ashikaga Yoshiaki continued to be patient and maintained a harmonious relationship with Nobunaga, even under Nobunaga's restraint, even under the harsh "Tenchu ​​Misaki".

Who knows that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the fox hidden in the cave. He has been patient with the opportunity and waited for the opportunity. Now when Nobunaga is most embarrassed, he jumped out and decided to destroy Nobunaga, reshape the prestige of the shogunate, and help the world.

Takeda Nobunaga thought for a moment, bowed his hands together, bowed his head to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said: "If the Gongfang Palace sends troops, Nobunaga will definitely bow his head."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw that Takeda Nobuto saw his face in awe, he couldn't help but smile, and secretly said in his heart: It seems that at the end of the day, I will set the world, and the only person I trust is Ashikaga's family.

In the fourth year of Yuangui, in February, when the Takeda Army besieged Noda Castle

Ashikaga Yoshiaki ordered his retainers Keiyu Yamaoka and Eemon Isogai to join the ninjas of Koga and Kaga, leading troops to station at Imakada Castle and Ishiyama Castle in Omi

Following the break between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Nobunaga, the public of his shogunate also split.

First of all, Fujitaka Hosokawa believes that the power of the world lies on Nobunaga's side. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's move was self-defeating. Although he left the Ashikaga family, he turned to Nobunaga's side.

In addition, Aichi Mitsuhide, who has been under Nobunaga’s curtain, also chose a stand, abandoned General Ashikaga and became Nobunaga’s commander.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not affected by this. With the support of his layman Ueno Kiyoshinobu and Mibuchi Fujihide, he officially broke with Nobunaga.

The turn of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Nobunaga means that Nobunaga's original status has no moral advantage in the sense of justice, and he has officially fallen into the same situation as the Miyoshi family, becoming a rebel, everyone in the world can attack

Under the pressure of Takeda and Ashikaga on both sides, Nobunaga had to send troops on one side, and dispatched Shibata Katsura, Akechi Mitsuhide, Niwa Nagahide, and Hikari Takashi to form a combined army to fight Omi, and Shimada Hidemitsu on the other side. Envoy to Nijo Gosho with Matsui Yuxian as an envoy

Nobunaga proposed that the two parties exchange hostages in order to achieve harmony.

However, for Ashikaga Yoshiaki’s move now, the opponent is at the end of the road, so he bowed to his knees and asked for peace, so he did not look at him. Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still determined to go on the road to confront Nobunaga.

In addition to having the strength of Yamashiro and Tamba, he is convinced that under his call, Yoshitoshi Miyoshi, Hidetoshi Matsuji, Masaru Ikeda, Token Hosokawa, Nobuchi Yusa, Itami Kei and Yoshinaga Wada, etc. The daimyo will respond to his uprising and attack Nobunaga together

However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was determined to revive the shogunate, but he was helpless to control the battle. It took less than a month to raise his troops. Today, Katada Castle and Ishiyama Castle were attacked by Oda Army led by Akechi Mitsuhide, and his ministers Yamaoka Keito and the last governor of the Rokkaku family, Hekoku Yoshikura, Virtuous surrender

The former Warring States name of Minami Omi, the Rokkaku family officially perished at this moment

For a while, the name of Kinki was shocked by the combat power of the Oda Army, and he fell into the sidelines, and the result of the Oda family's victory also foresees the foresight of Hosokawa Fujitaka.

Then Nobunaga again sent people to discuss peace with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Ashikaga Yoshiaki categorically refused. While summoning the wealthy families of various countries to Shangrao, he sent several waves of envoys to Mikawa, hoping that Shingen Takeda would immediately lead his army into Owari and join him in the attack. Oda Nobunaga

But who knows that the Takeda family’s army is staying under Noda Castle at this moment, and has been slow to enter.

Takeda’s Noda Castle has been under siege for a month

In fact, against a small town of 500 people, Takeda Army with 30,000 troops can take it in just two or three days.

However, the tactics adopted by the Takeda Army were unexpected. For a month of siege, the Takeda Army did not resort to a large-scale siege, except for sending a small attack by the general Hara Changyin.

Instead, after a few days of siege, the Takeda Army Nuggets dug up Noda Castle.

At night, outside Noda Castle

The Takeda sergeant who was resting on his head heard the melodious flute sound from the city

Since the siege of Noda Castle, the lord Suganuma Seihiro has inevitably played the flute every night. Therefore, listening to Suganuma Seihiro playing the flute at night has become the only pastime of the sergeants in the idle Takeda siege army.

"The water source of Noda Castle has been cut off, but Suganuma Oribe's flute sound is not at all messy. It can be seen that Hiszu is a strong temperament general, and he is not affected by the water cut."

Xinfang said in the city racecourse

Beside Baba Nobubo, besides Yamaken Masakei and Naito Masahiro, there is also Takeda Shinren who is wearing Takeda Shingen armor and serving as the shadow warrior of the other side.

In order to conceal the news that Shingen is seriously ill, the Takeda army now uses the similar-looking Takeda Shinren to continue to replace Shingen in order to stabilize the army.

As for the four ministers, Masanobu Takasaka, after learning that Uesugi Kenshin was going to use troops, he led his head to return to Kaijin City.

"So what? No matter how good Suganuma Oribe's flute is played, it will not change the situation of the fall of Noda Castle," Yamaxian Masayuki said with a long sigh. But I also had to return to Kofu, and all my efforts were in vain."

Hearing the words of Changjing in Shan County, the generals such as the horse farm letter house and Naito Masao were silent, and they could only look at Noda Castle in a trance.

"My brother has decided to return to Kofu in three days."

Takeda Shinren, who serves as the shadow Wuzi, speaks.

"The lord finally agreed," Machang said in a letter.

Everyone knows that because of the doctor’s advice, Shingen Takeda, who is seriously ill, must be relocated to Kofu for training.

Before, the generals had several times persuaded Xinxuan to return to Kofu, but Xinxuan always insisted on the purpose of Luo, and would never return to Kofu.

But as time dragged on, Shingen’s condition continued to deteriorate, and now he finally gave up persisting.

"Moving to Kofu, can the lord recover?" Shanxian Changjing asked.

Takeda Shinren shook his head and said: "The doctor has said that if you want the lord to recover from his illness, unless it is a miracle."

Hearing this news, everyone in Shanxian County and Racecourse bowed their heads. If it hadn’t been for Xinxuan, they would have today.

At Noda Castle, the sound of Suganuma Sadahiro's whistle was over, but suddenly there was the sound of iron cannons from above the castle.

Somehow the Noda castle fired at the Takeda army position under the castle, but in the midst of the black light, it would be weird if it hits.

After a slight disturbance in the Takeda army position, it immediately calmed down

"Sungahiro Suganuma is here to join in the fun, can't you just be quiet?"

The impatient racecourse letter room waved his whip~lightnovelpub.net~ said fiercely

February 16

Because the water source was cut off, the castle lord Suganuma set Ying led the castle soldiers to surrender to the Takeda army.

The fall of Noda Castle means that the Takeda family’s control over Mikawa has increased a step further

Photographed here, Ieyasu Tokugawa had to increase the strength of Yoshida Castle’s defense, and Nobunaga, who was in Cheongju Castle, was also closely watching the next move of the Takeda Army.

The morale of the lower ranks of the Takeda Army was also cheered up, hoping that they could have one day to invade Kyoto.

And now only Takeda Nobunori and generals such as Yamaxian Masaki understand that the Takeda army’s road to Los Angeles has come to an end. With Shingen's serious illness, the army will soon return to Jiafei.
