Chapter 487: Danbo Situation

"What happened to Hoseyama Castle?"

In Wakasa Country’s Kunichi Castle Tianshu Pavilion, Yi Jian Masatsu said in surprise.

Under Wakasa guarding Takeda Motoaki, there were four major ministers. Compared with the four ministers of Takeda in Kai, they are also known as the four seniors of Takeda.

They are Masaki Igami, Tomomi Muto, Katsuhisa Suya, and Masahide Yamaxian.

Compared with the four loyal Takeda ministers, the contribution of the four Takeda elders to the family can only be described as a traitorous minister.

Had it not been for the civil strife of these four people, Wakasa Takeda would not decline to the point where it is today, causing even the house governor to be looted by the Asakura family.

After Wakasa was owned by the Oda clan, except for Muto Yuji, who was at both ends of the snake and mouse, was banished from Wakasa by Nobunaga, the other three elders all returned to the Oda clan and were placed under Niwa Nagahide’s subordinates and became Yuri.

In the previous battle of Nagashino, Niwa Nagahide and Suya Katsuhisa were killed by the Li Xiao army, and Takeda Motoaki was also captured by Li Xiao.

So in Wakasa Kuni, the four Takeda elders, only Imi Masaki, and Yamagura Masahide can speak.

After Niwa Nagahide's death, they had been transferred to Shibata's partner.

After hearing that Seyama Castle was attacked, Hisami Masaki's first reaction was the Isshiki family of Tango, who had a feud with Wakasa Takeda.

The Isshiki family is one of the four positions of the shogunate. It is the guardian daimyo of the three kingdoms of Mikawa, Wakasa, and Tango. After his patron Isshiki Yoshikan was killed by the Ashikaga sect, Nobuei Takeda, his family business plummeted, and the guardians of Mikawa and Wakasa were lost.

After that, the Isshiki family revived, and the Isshiki and Takeda families have been fighting around Tango for protection.

In the Onin Rebellion, the two old men of Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Zongquan caused a violent fight throughout Japan. The Isshiki family stood in the Western Army, and the Wakasa Takeda family of the Eastern Army. The two old enemies are the big ones. Fight

Masaki Itumi frowned slightly and said, "Impossible, the Hatano family of Tanba, the Naito family, and the Isshiki family of Tango are under a fierce attack by the Kinki Legion, who is the only guardian of Hyuga. How could the Isshiki family have spare power? , Come to attack Wakasa, is it Yishiyidao, don't want to live, dare to provoke my Oda family."

"It is not the Isshiki family, but the Takeda family!" The messenger explained hurriedly.

"Which Takeda? Is it An Yun's clan? The joke has been wiped out by the Maori clan a long time ago, isn't it?"

Yi Jian Masaki was taken aback and looked at the map. He pointed his finger to a large red force in the direction of Hokuriku. He slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, it is the Hida Yuezhong Corps of Kai Takeda! Why didn't I expect, Shibata. Repair led an army of 35,000 out of Kaga, and his general sent a navy army around Kaga to attack the rear of our army in order to interfere with the determination of the army in front of it to fight."

"That's the case, Kotobuki-sama, also inferred. At the moment, Ninomaru and Sotomaru in Gooseyama Castle have fallen. There are fewer than fifty samurai around Kotobuki, and one hundred is enough. Now he retreats. Honmaru is standing guard, please see your lord to send troops to strengthen quickly."

This messenger almost burst into tears, and pleaded with Yi Jian Changjing.

Yi Jian Changjing walked around anxiously in the Tianshou Pavilion, pondered for a while, and said: "This matter is very difficult!"

The messenger said, "Please don’t worry if you see the lord. Although the Takeda army is powerful, the navy under Mount Housse are all naval forces. They are not good at land warfare. The horse is successful."

Hearing the messenger's pleading, I saw Masakura's expression change, but then he shook his head and said, "No, although the navy of the Takeda Army is unbearable for land warfare, it has at least two thousand troops, not to mention Mutoh Yukichi. This old guy presided over there. This person is the brave general of Wakasa Kuni. How could I be bewitched by the squandered family superintendent Motoaki Takeda."

"Now I, the main force of the narrow crowd, has been recruited by Lord Shibata, and they are all on the front line of Kaga. Even if I issue a mobilization order, I can gather only three to five hundred feet and fifty samurai."

"It would be great if Yama Prefecture was here, but unfortunately he led the army to Kaga. I really can't help it alone! It seems that Dase Mountain Castle cannot be kept. Hey!"

Yi Jian Changjing sighed and said.

"But my lord!"

Masaki Igami waved his hand and said: "However, what I will do is to understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. I understand that Tase Mountain Castle is the key point of Wakasa country. If the Takeda army takes the opportunity to harass here, it will definitely affect the overall situation."

"So now I only have to ask Shibata to repair and return from the front line, but now Lord Shibata, and Takeda, has always been confronting the main force, if he wants to withdraw and retreat, he will inevitably be hit by the enemy! I wonder if Lord Shibata will make this decision. Under this situation, it’s really worrying. But you have to report it first."

The messenger said: "However, even if the main hall is in Kaga, even if you return to Wakasa, it is too far away. It is too far away to dissolve the nearby fire. If the Takeda Army rises during this period, it will inevitably endanger Wakasa."

Hearing this, Yi Jian Changjing smiled slightly, and said: "In addition to asking Shibata to repair and return, there is actually another way that you can try."

After hearing this, the messenger quickly asked, "Dare to ask Master Yijian, what can I do?"

Masaru Itumi said: "You forgot, but the Kinki Legion, who served as the defender of Hyuga, is attacking Hatanoya in Tango country, and its Nagaoka Department of Defense (that is, Fujitaka Hosokawa, now named Fujitaka Nagaoka) is within easy reach of Wakasa. , We only need to ask Yuren Hikatashou to help, and let him send the army of Lord Nagaoka to assist Wakasa."

The messenger heard the overjoyed words and said: "That's the way it is, Master Yi Jian, it is wise!"

Yi Jian Chang Jing smiled slightly and said: "I and Yu Ren Rixiang keep the old days, I will write to him, and at the same time, I will report the affairs of this place to Lord Shibata. Don't worry, if there is me Yi Jian Chang Jing Now, nothing will happen!"

Hearing what Yi Jian Changjing said, the messenger immediately became full of confidence.

But at this moment, a samurai hurriedly broke into the castle tower and reported to Itumi Masaki, "It’s not good, it’s sir. The Takeda army has already breached Mount Tase, and the lord has died. ."

After hearing this, Yi Jian Changjing felt his steps were unsteady, and he took a step back, then calmed down and shouted: "Asshole, didn't you say, Mr. Kenbu, is still in Honmaru? How could this be the case."

The samurai wept and said, "Report to the Lord, the Takeda family navy army, to unload the big tube from the ship and directly fetch it to attack Honmaru. As a result, the gate was breached and the Takeda army swarmed in. After the lord had killed nine people in a row. In the end, he was outnumbered and was begged by the Takeda army. Now the head is hung on the top of the city, and at the order of the lord, he flees at the risk of his death to report to the lord, otherwise he will die."

After hearing this, Yi Jian Masatsu sighed and said: "Master Kenbe, you are really a brave man of the Oda clan, you are really fading like a cherry blossom. If you know, leave it. I will report to Shibata for repairs, but I will keep him. Two adults, let them avenge your lord."

"This hatred must be reported!"

In the sixth year of Tianzheng, in August, Tamba country.

As the starting point of the mountain, Tanba country also serves as the entrance to the northwest of Kyoto, and it is an important place for military strategists.

It can be seen from the map that Tamba, Tango, and Wakasa are in an upside-down character shape, with three legs standing in the northern part of Gyeonggi.

Since entering the Muromachi shogunate, the Tamba country has always been under the jurisdiction of the Hosokawa family, and now the guardian of the Tamba country is the head of the Kyosho Hosokawa family and married Nobunaga’s sister Nobunaga Hosokawa Nobura.

However, the actual control right of the Tanba country is not in the hands of the Hosokawa family, but in the hands of the Naito family of Hara Mamorudai and Gundai Hatano family.

And now, the Kinki Legion of Akechi Mitsuhide, in the name of guarding Hosokawa Nobura, dispatched an army to attack Hatanoya.

After three years from Tensho, Akechi Mitsuhide made a temporary peace with Honganji in the name of the imperial court, and then began to vacate his hands and began to attack the Tanba country north of Kinki. Now the war has been going on for two years.

As the largest power in the Tango country, Hatanoya, under the command of the two generals of Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Nobura who commanded Settsu, and Hosokawa Fujitaka's offensive struggled to support.

In the sixth year of Tensho, Akechi Mitsuhide led the main force to go to Tango, and surrounded the Hatano family's eight castles.

The Hatano family was in danger for a while.

The Naito family, who was also a major force in the Tamba country, also felt precarious at this time.

Yagi Castle is located in the central part of Tango country, near the side of Wakasa country.

This city is the home of the Naito family.

In the castle tower, a warrior wearing a Geely Chidan clothes is drawing a cross on his chest, praying devoutly.

"Lord Almighty, please tell me how to help my Naito family through this disaster!"

After a while, someone at the sliding door said: "Master, Lord Araki from Hatano family, please see me!"

The samurai opened his eyes, lightly kissed the cross on his chest, and said to the door: "Please come in, Lord Araki!"

Sumeru, a burly, well-dressed warrior stepped into the room. When this man saw the Geely Shidan warrior, he knelt down with a puff and said, "I beg Naito Hida to beg our Hatanoya. Bar!"

This is called Naito Hidashou, the governor of the Naito family, is the historical Geely Chitan name Naito Ruan, who, as the partner of Governor Konishi, believes in Catholicism together with him.

And the one who came to beg was also the Hatano family's general Araki Tsuna. This man had a similar army. During the two years of war with the Oda family, he repeatedly repelled the Hosokawa family's army.

After hearing this, Naito Ruan sighed and said: "I knew about Hatano's situation a long time ago, but Ren Hikata is a famous general in the world. He is in the town and assisted by the Oda family~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm afraid. Fighting with the Naito family's full strength, it is not an opponent!"

When the Araki Tsuna wanted to say something, Naito Ruan said: "Do you think I am entangled. The Naito family and the Hatano family have hated for many years? Wrong, the truth of the death of the lips and the cold teeth is well known. After the death of Nobunaga, the four big Odas The legions are fighting in their own way, attacking on all sides, and Mitsuhide Wisei intends to take Tango a country into a direct leader, and everyone knows his ambition to expand his power."

"Under this circumstance, how could it not be possible for me not to try my best! But I am afraid that Mangyi will become a car."

Araki Tsuna said: "It turns out that Lord Naito is concerned about the lack of power, then we can unite with the Tango Isshiki family and stand side by side."

Naito Ruan squeezed the cross and said with a wry smile: "Isshiki family power, you and I know, back then, every Wakasa Takeda cleaned up his subordinates, do you still count on him to resist the Oda family's army?"

After hearing this, Tsuna Araki was anxious and angry, and said: "Listening to Hida Naito said so, is there no other way to watch Oda's annexation of my Danba country?"

Naito Ruan said: "It's not impossible. I heard that the Takeda Hida Army captured the Mount Tase Castle in Wakasa yesterday. Maybe this will be a way for us to survive."
