Takeda Harunobu straightened his posture and smiled at Takeda Nobuyan and the Takeda princesses.
“The Hojo Imagawa family seems to be powerful, but they are suffering from internal and external troubles, which are nothing to worry about.
I have sent Shinobi Toruha to the Kanto Plain to spread the word that Uesugi Terujo Kamiro is valued by General Ashikaga, inherits the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and has the post of governor of Kanto.
The Hojo family committed many crimes in Musashino Ryogoku, and the two Uesugi families had been running the Kanto Plain for more than a hundred years, and there were always some loyal ministers and filial daughters willing to fight to the death for them.
Now that Uesugi Teruhora is about to move south, if the Hojo family doesn't eliminate hidden dangers earlier and prepare for the Echigo army, can they still take care of the Imagawa family's life and death?
Too busy to take care of yourself! "
Uesugi Teruhora and Takeda Harunobu negotiated peace on Kawanakajima because their strategies were complementary and profitable.
The Hojo family headed east to open up the Kanto Plain, and they were bound to have a decisive battle with the Echigo army heading south. Now in the direction of the Kawa family, it was difficult for Hojo Ujiyasu to take care of him.
The Takeda family had tasted the power of the Echigo family in person. The Battle of Kawanaka Island resulted in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The warriors in the Jiaxin Mountains fought hard and endured, but were beaten to the point of despair.
The Takeda retainers may have more confidence in the Echigo army than Uesugi Terutora himself.
Seeing that the Takeda retainers group headed by Takeda Noburen felt a little relieved, Takeda Harunobu continued.
“The civil strife in the Imagawa family started in Tongzhazama, which cut off the foundation of the family.
In the present Three Kingdoms of Sichuan, the Suruga people and the Yuanjiang people are in civil strife, and the Mikawa people are on the verge of independence.
I have sent people to contact the Mikawa Matsudaira family, and I am willing to join forces with them to attack the Imagawa family.
Suruga and Enjiang are also trying to woo each other. As long as the Imagawa family really dares to fight with me, I will ensure that at least twenty families of her turn against me before the battle begins. "
Takeda Zhuhime, you look at me and I look at you, it’s unbelievable.
But Takeda Harunobu's words were very tempting, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, imagining that the Imagawa family would fall down at a push and be at the mercy of others.
Takeda Harunobu was proficient in the art of war. He always loved to use outside moves in battles, to confuse the enemy three points before fighting.
Whether it was the strategy of Shinano or the instigation around Echigo, the game was played with great proficiency.
The Imagawa family themselves are a mess, with loopholes everywhere. If she wasn't playing tricks, she wouldn't be Takeda Harunobu.
As she said, the current situation of the Imagawa family is the subsequent influence of Okehazama. You really can't blame the Imagawa family for their poor abilities.
At the beginning, Imagawa Yoshimoto used the excuse to go to Luo, and tens of thousands of troops marched westward along the Tokaido, trying to swallow up the Owari Oda family in one go.
Who knew that Oda Nobunaga was also a ruthless character and took a big gamble. With the help of Okehazama's storm, Imagawa Yoshimoto's main formation was annihilated in one fell swoop.
The Imagawa family was leaderless and returned home in defeat. Its strength was not affected much, only a thousand people died, but the trouble lies with those who died.
The ruling structure of the Wu family is a true feudal system, not the centralized system of the Celestial Dynasty. We are not afraid of dead people, but we are most afraid of the death of a large number of our own people.
The Chinese dynasty has a mature bureaucracy. Even if the royal family is wiped out and only one Zhao Jiumei escapes, it can still be said to be a loner without affecting its governance.
But the same cannot be said for the Wu family. The governance structure is like a matryoshka doll, with circles surrounding circles. The core circle is empty, which is equivalent to the collapse of rule.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's formation gathered too many powerful sects. No less than twenty people, including the kinsmen of the city lord and the powerful people with names and surnames, died.
The powerful retainers under his command, such as Asahina, Okabe, Ii, Matsudaira and other families, and the heads of families who were close to the Imagawa family also suffered heavy casualties.
When Imagawa saw the death list, he was probably even more sad than hearing the news that his mother had died in the war. Without these people, she couldn't control the place.
It was because the top management of Imagawa was brought to bear in Okehazama that the Imagawa family's ruling system over the Three Kingdoms of Tokaido instantly collapsed.
The Mikawa Matsudaira family immediately turned against each other and planned to conquer Higashi Mikawa.
Toe Kuni Asahina family, Amano family, Iio family, Matsui family, Ii family. Leaders of each family died in Ozazama, and the power of the family close to Imagawa was weakened, and their intentions were ulterior.
The one in the best situation is Suruga Country. The Imagawa family has ruled here the longest and has the strongest foundation.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's old father, Shoukimon, endured the pain of losing his daughter and came forward to mediate, finally preserving the rule of Sunfu Castle by his granddaughter Imagawa clan.
But there are four alluvial plain areas in Suruga Province, Oi, Abe, Fuji, and Kano. That is to say, the Abe River area where Sunpu Castle is located is still obedient, but other places are already obeying the instructions but not the propaganda.
The Imagawa family's dominance over the Three Kingdoms has almost collapsed. Even if the Imagawa family has only three heads and six arms, it cannot save the overall situation.
Just like Shiba Yiyin, he was helpless when he recently obtained the territory of 200,000 stones. No matter how much territory there is, how can we rule it without a single sect or a lineage?
Leave it to the local martial arts family? What's the difference between that and giving it away? Can these profit-seeking wallflowers be trusted?
Sibo Yiyin can choose to divide it into Sibo materials and divide it among everyone. At the worst, he can sacrifice his body to produce children and earn it back later.
But the Imakawa family is really not good enough. The Imagawa family cannot be destroyed in her hands and can only support it hard.
Therefore, Takeda Harunobu said that the Imagawa family was vulnerable to internal and external troubles. As long as the Suruga clan can be bribed with huge profits, just defecting in front of the battle is enough to defeat the seemingly powerful Imagawa family.
She was confident in front of the Takeda retainers, but she was actually not sure in her heart. If you want to successfully win the Suruga Kingdom, all three strategies must be effective.
First, the Hojo family is focused on the Kanto Plain and has no time to look back and take care of the Imagawa family.
Secondly, the Mikawa Matsudaira family is powerful enough to attract the attention of the Imagawa family and share the pressure of conquering Suruga Kingdom.
Thirdly, the Suruga people and the Toujiang people were disloyal and unwilling to fight to the death for the Imagawa clan. They were bribed to defect in battle.
One of the three is missing. The Takeda family's strategy this time will be very costly and long-lasting.
Takeda Harunobu's prestige was damaged, and he knew that his Suruga strategy could not cause the Takeda family too much loss, and he could no longer withstand the setback of failure.
She caressed her belly inadvertently, as if to get the strength to stabilize her emotions.
I will leave you a strong Takeda family, and I will never fall here.
I promise you, my child.
———
The so-called troubled times refer to great chaos in the world, from which no one can escape. All parties used the winter to accumulate strength and prepare for a new expedition in the coming year.
Yoshigan Shiba, who was far away in Echigo Tobi Castle, had unexpectedly gained a man before he could wait for Daxiong Chaohide.
Kamao clan came with Ina Tadashi to salute. Yoshigami looked at the letter of recommendation from Maeda Toshiie in his hand, then looked at the unattractive woman in front of him, and sighed in his heart.
It had been almost two years since he left Owari. The Owari Shiba leader, who had been left behind, was expanding against the trend in the corners that he ignored.
Maeda Toshiie is really a powerful Hime Samurai, but I don’t know how she could endure Oda Nobunaga’s solicitation and stay in Owari Shiba territory wholeheartedly, guarding the loneliness she was left with.
The center of gravity of the Shiba family is Konki, Echigo, not Owari. Owari Shiba is the abandoned son. Maeda Toshiie is so smart, why can't he see through this?
Even if she took refuge with Oda Nobunaga, Shiba Yoshigan would not blame her. A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and it was Yoshigami Shiba who first ignored Owari Shiba's leader.
Thinking of the passion between the two, Yiyin couldn't help but shake his head.
The Li family can't be that stupid, right?
Stay up a lifetime for one night?
