Faced with the increasingly bad situation on the Kawanakajima Plain, Uesugi Teruhu and Shiba Yigen reached an agreement.
Uesugi's side has an advantage because of the short distance. After mobilization, they can quickly change the situation and wait for Takeda Harunobu's arrival.
But we must also guard against Takeda Harunobu's rapid dispatch of troops. On the one hand, we must step up our own mobilization, and on the other hand, we must pay attention to Kai's mobilization.
Teruhora Uesugi smiled slightly at Shiba Yoshigan and said.
"The last time I went to fight in Beixin, I had too many worries and it was really not satisfying.
This time the Tiger of Kai must be put in order to prevent her from delaying our important events. "
Yiyin warned.
"You should be more cautious. This person's methods are very good. Haven't you suffered enough?
Since her return from Hokurikudo, she has caused us a lot of trouble. When have we ever had the upper hand? "
Uesugi Teru's heart ached.
What she hates most about Takeda Harunobu is that Takeda Harunobu instigated a series of troubles when she returned to Luo and back to Echigo.
In order to protect himself, Shiba Yiyin had to take down the sword and become the general's palace.
From then on, Shiba Yiyin could no longer respond to her feelings, making it impossible for her to stay with her lover and express their feelings to each other.
Teruhora Uesugi hated Takeda Harunobu, the villain who was behind this, and said with a sneer.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Kenshin, no matter how sophisticated Takeda Harunobu’s tricks are, no matter how many conspiracies she plots, she will eventually be able to see the truth on the battlefield.
This time, let those arrogant mountain village women in Kai see the bravery of the Echigo samurai family!
From now on, whenever I think of this battle, I have to fight with both sides and walk around us from now on! "
Sibo Yiyin saw that she was so high-spirited and couldn't help but keep her fighting spirit down, so he kept silent.
The threat of Shinano is a problem that must be solved before the Kanto Raiders, and Terutora Uesugi is in no way as cunning as Takeda Harunobu.
Since your brain is not enough, use your fists. I'll defeat you ten times with one force, and I'll defeat you! Among the Wu family, in the final analysis, it is still about whose fist is stronger.
As long as the Takeda family suffers heavy losses, the Takeda retainers group will naturally restrict the family governor so that she will not dare to easily become an enemy of the Uesugi family again.
The two reached a consensus, and Echigo began to mobilize.
The Echigo stone is 400,000 koku high, and with various specialties and gold and silver mines, the mobilization power is as high as 500,000 koku.
Yoshigan Shiba issued an edict with his sword, denounced Kai's guardian Takeda Harunobu for occupying Shinano, and expelled Shinano's guardian Ogasawara Nagatoki, Shinano's general Yoshikiyo Murakami.
In the name of bringing order out of chaos, he ordered Echigo's guard, Terutora Uesugi, to send troops south to conquer Shinano.
The Echigo samurai family mobilized one after another, and all the elite new Uesugi retainers from Joetsu and Chuetsu came out.
All members of the Shimoetsu Yangboku public responded. After Uesugi Teruhu succeeded to the throne, he received the military service accounts of all the Shimotsu samurai families for the first time. For the first time, the Echigo samurai united and acted unanimously to the outside world.
The Chinese and Vietnamese Nagao family, led by Uesugi Kagenobu, assisted in the defense of the west Ueno direction to prevent the Hojo family from cooperating with the Takeda family to disrupt the rear of Echigo country.
Shiba Yiyin participated in the war as the shogunate governor, leading more than forty warriors from the same clan and one hundred and fifty warriors from Yutai to accompany the army.
The Uesugi-Shiba coalition mobilized a total of forty troops, more than 10,000 soldiers, and countless peasants and soldiers. Together with Murakami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara Nagatoki's troops, they obtained a total of 13,000 soldiers.
The coalition forces entered Hokushin, and the momentum was so great that Takeda Nobushige took the initiative to retreat.
Terutora Uesugi retook Zenkojidaira and beheaded all the rebellious Kuzuyama people and Zenkoji nuns, which frightened the local samurai families near Kawanaka Island and did not dare to cause further unrest.
&nbs-->>
p; She did not divide her troops to go to the Takanashi Castle area, but ordered Ogasawara to guard Iiyama Castle for a long time, leaving two reserve teams to guard Zenkoji Temple.
Subsequently, Uesugi Teruhora gathered 12,000 soldiers across the Sai River and Chikuma River, directly occupying Tsumeyama, and cutting off Kaijin Castle's logistics line.

At the same time as Echigo was mobilizing, Takeda Harunobu in the Kai Kingdom Tsubasaki Hall was also greeting the Kai army and the Shinano army to discuss the Hokushin war.
Takeda Harunobu sat on the main seat and looked down. The Kai tribe and the Shinano tribe are clearly separated, sitting on the left and right.
Among the Kai clan, the first was the Takeda clan led by Takeda Harunobu's third sister, Takeda Noburen. Behind him were the Hatamoto clan, the Shodai clan, and a group of semi-independent clans such as Anayayama Nobu-kun.
Among the Shinano people, the Kiso family of Minamishin, the Suwa family of Chushin, and the Sanada family of Higashishin each took their seats with their local samurai families.
The Takeda family reached its peak in the hands of Takeda Harunobu. The family business prospered and almost took over the entire Shinano country.
But at this time, she felt very lonely.
The Kingdom of Kai is too weak, with only 230,000 shi, and there are many factions in the country, each working in their own way.
The same goes for Shinano. Mountains separate the various places, and they are not close to each other. The samurai families in various places dislike each other.
In the past few years, all the families were fighting against each other, and they were all enemies of each other. Today, they came together and all the ladies praised Takeda Harunobu's reputation.
Others admire her and think that she is both wise and brave, making the Takeda family very strong. She was the only one who was terrified in her heart, waking up every night, fearing that this sweet dream would no longer continue.
The various forces under Takeda Harunobu are too scattered. Although she has used various means to hold them together, if they are not careful, they are in danger of falling apart.
She glanced at Noburen Takeda who was standing next to her. Although these three sisters looked similar to her, they were far less talented and intelligent than Nobushige Takeda who was in Hokushin.
The Takeda family is supported by two sisters, Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Nobushige. Only Nobushige understands his sister's thoughts and can help.
Now that Nobushige is doing well in Beixin, it's time for him to send troops to support her.
Takeda Harunobu had a feeling that if he could not defeat Uesugi Terutora this time, he would no longer be able to persuade these selfish factions to continue their march north.
Even this time, it took a lot of effort on her part to achieve a favorable strategic situation before she could convince these guys to give them a try.
This is the tragedy of the Sengoku daimyo. They abandoned their stable guardian system and went on foreign expeditions, seeking more centralized power.
Therefore, they must move from victory to the next victory and never fail. Failure means the foundation of their rule is shaken.
Those who kill will always be killed. Those who abandon the principles of the Wu family can only rely on violence.
Takeda Harunobu calmed down and said.
“I know a lot of you don’t want to fight this fight.
Why go to Kawanakajima Plain? Why fight a bloody battle with the brave Echigo samurai? what is the benefit?
ignorance! madness! Short-sighted bastard! You know p! "
Takeda Harunobu, contrary to his usual wise and elegant manner, had a cold look on his face and scolded him loudly.
The Ji warriors had never seen her so out of sorts. They sat down on their knees with their heads down and listened quietly to the instructions of the family governor.
Takeda Harunobu looked at the beams and said.
"The Hida Mountains, the Akaishi Mountains, the Echigo Mountains, and the Kanto Mountains are connected into one, and the two countries of Kai and Shinano are among the mountains.
There is a lack of land for cultivation in the mountains, a lack of cloth to keep warm, a lack of necessary salt, and ironware. Our lives are very hard. "
