In recent days, various Tokaido families have been calculating against each other, and Yoshihiro Shiba, who is far away in Echigo, is also advancing his own counter-insurgency plan.
Yasuda Castle, living in the museum.
Shiba Yoshigan sat on the main seat, and in addition to his own concubines, Yasuda Nagahide and Mizuhara Mitsuru were also present.
Shiba Yiyin said to Yasuda Nagahide with a smile.
"Less than ten days after I sent the letter, the Yasuda family not only prepared the camp, but also summoned the Suwon family governor. I am very satisfied."
Tochio Castle marches north along the Echigo Mountains and across the Agano River is Yasuda Castle, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. This city is the gateway to Shimotsu, and the attitude of the Yasuda family is very important.
Yiyin relied on Tomei Castle's thick winter clothing, and the Hime Warriors endured hardships and marched in the snow in winter.
He also didn't expect Yasuda Nagahide to be so understanding and accept his orders in full, making preparations for the counter-rebels to settle in Yasuda City.
Yasuda Nagahide bowed.
"I am afraid, this is my duty. All orders from the Imperial Palace should be used to the best of my ability."
After saying that, she handed over Uesugi Teruhora's warrant and returned it to Shiba Yoshiyin.
Yoshigan Shiba sent a letter to Yasuda Nagahide, accompanied by a warrant from Terutora Uesugi, authorizing the samurai under the command of Yoshigan Shiba who were more loyal to the Uesugi family to counter the rebellion.
Yasuda Nagahide was horrified when he learned that Shinbada Nagaatoshi was causing trouble. The position of the Dajian Party is too embarrassing, and if there is a slight mistake, it will become a battlefield between the two sides.
While she was giving orders to prepare a camp under Yasuda Castle, she also urgently sent a letter urging the Mizuhara family to come to Yasuda Castle to wait for Shiba Yoshiin who was suppressing the rebellion.
The name Yangbeizhong originated from the Agano River, also known as the Agabeizhong, which means the samurai clan north of the Agano River.
The territory of the Omi Party is on the north bank of the Agano River. Yasuda Castle relies on the Echigo Mountains and exits the mountain pass in the upper reaches of the Agano River, while the Mizuhara family's Mizuhara Castle is north of the middle reaches of the Agano River.
The outlet of the lower reaches of the Agano River is Niigatazu, and a large amount of materials are stored in the port. There was gold and silver shipped from Sado Island, as well as salt, iron and cloth grains to be shipped to Sado Island.
Wanting to occupy Niigatajin downstream and guard against the counter-rebels on the other side, Shimbada Choatoshi would definitely attack Niigatajin and then attack Yasuda Castle and Suwon Castle in the middle and upper reaches along the river after raiding Niigatajin.
Yasuda Nagahide would only cause trouble with Shinbada Nagahide if she was out of her mind. She had just entered Uesugi Teruhora's close circle and wanted to have a stable meal.
Now that there is trouble behind his back, the family business will become a battlefield. She clings closely to Yoshigan Shiba, the Ashikaga military god, and most hopes that he will exterminate the rebellious party as soon as possible so that her family will not suffer.
The Suwon Man family is a branch of the Daomi Party, and has the same idea as Yasuda Nagahide of the Zong family. She didn't care what trouble the Sasaki Party caused, but she could never involve her family in it.
Yang Beizhong, who had participated in the Battle of Kawanaka Island, knew how powerful Shiba Yiyin was.
If a rebellion breaks out in Xinfatian Changdun, there is still a three-point certainty. But now that the plan was exposed, Sibo Yiyin quickly went north to quell the rebellion, and the Dajian Party knew how to take sides.
They stand on the side of the winner, wave the flag and shout, and they can even get some benefits from the corpses of the rebels, so why not do it.
Shiba Yiyin smiled and nodded, comforted Yasuda Nagahide and Mizuhara Mitsukya for a few words, and then changed the topic and said.
"The rebellion in Xinfatian Changdun came suddenly, and I had no time to mobilize the army. This time, we mainly relied on the strength of loyal people from various families in Xiayue to suppress the rebellion.
I will lead the ladies from the Kanto Palace to suppress the formation at Yasuda Castle. The specific counterinsurgency will be carried out by my formation, with Honjo Shigenaga commanding from the front. "
Yasuda Nagahide was stunned for a moment and looked back at the Mizuhara Manjia who were also surprised. This was different from what they thought.
Originally, the Dajian party thought that this time Shiba Yiyin would bring a large army to suppress the rebellion, and they would just follow behind and pick up the slack.
Unexpectedly, Shiba Yiyin pushed Honjo Shigenaga, a traitor to the Northern Publics, to the front of the stage, and stayed in Yasuda Castle to supervise the battle.
Now it's embarrassing.
It is easy for Yasuda Nagahide to invite gods but difficult to send them away. The great god Shiba Yoshigan is squatting in Yasuda Castle. What should she do? How to catch fish?
Yasuda Castle guards the upper reaches of the Agano River. Unless the counter-rebellion army captures Yasuda Castle, they will never easily cross the river and enter the border between China and Vietnam.
Because their logistics line could be cut off by the Sibo Yiyin flowing down the river at any time, it would not be safe even if the rebels occupied Suwon City in the middle reaches.
Therefore, as long as Yasuda Castle is still in the hands of Shiba Yoshigan, this rebellion will be bound to the Shimotsu area on the north bank of the Agano River. The worst thing is that it will be a tug-of-war centered on Suwon Castle.
Yasuda Nagahide asked cautiously.
"Otaisuo, how will the counter-insurgency be carried out this time?"
Shiba Yiyin said.
"Honjo Shigecho will lead his imperial troops to the battle, coordinating and commanding the various families.
I have also sent letters to all the Shimotsu families, ordering Irobe Katsunaga, Nakajo Fujisou, and Takemata Keizuna to lead all parties to participate in countering the rebellion.
Xinfa Tian Changdun did not overestimate his own capabilities and believed that with the concerted efforts of all Yangbei families, the chaos would soon subside.
Do you think so, Yasuda-sama? "
Yasuda Nagahide nodded repeatedly.
"That's what Yutai said."
She screamed in her heart, who came up with this bad idea. Kachi, Shinbada, and Igongye rebelled, and the Yangbei clans led by Irobu, Nakajo, and Takemata were asked to put down the rebellion.
Not to mention other people, what should the Yasuda family do? going or not? Yasuda Nagahide looked at Mizuhara Manjia, her face was also ugly.
Seeing them looking at each other, Yiyin pretended not to notice and continued.
"Yasuda Nagahide, Mizuhara Manga, you should also prepare to mobilize, and go to war with Honjo Nobunaga at the end of winter. I believe that other companies in the north are also willing to go all out."
The two fell to the ground and shouted loudly, Yasuda Changxiu was in a state of confusion.
Shinbada Cho Atsushi chose to send troops to Niigatajin in late winter before the snow stopped. This was a surprise strategy. Now that Sibo Yiyin has seen through it, he has already failed.
The snow melts in spring and the land is muddy. If the two sides get into a stalemate, it will affect spring plowing.
The setback in spring plowing caused a food shortage, and hunger swept every household in Xiayu the next year. This consequence alone was chilling.
If each family disobeys military orders, they will not be able to avoid fighting. Not only has she offended Uesugi Teruhora, but Shinbada Nagaatoshi, who has been exposed, will not show mercy. She has no way out and must stage a major rebellion.
If each family copes with the problem and cannot capture her for a while, it will end in a bad war and affect spring plowing. If there is a famine in the coming year, every family in Xiayue will be in bad luck.
Therefore, the best choice is to attack with all our strength and kill this group of rebels as soon as possible.
Yasuda Nagahide became angrier as he thought about it, and looked at Honjo Shigenaga with a solemn expression. This vicious plan of annihilating children and grandchildren must have been thought up by this traitor who had no eyes for giving birth to a daughter.
After this fratricide, the hearts of all the families in Yangbei became difficult to resolve. It was impossible to re-establish trust and unity again, and Shimotsu was in disarray from now on.
Seeing Yasuda Changxiu's uncertain expression, Shiba Yiyin said.
"What are you thinking, Lord Yasuda? Do you have any strategies to teach me?"
Yasuda Nagahide looked at Shiba Yiyin's indifferent handsome face, and felt bleak in his heart. You can't take care of others at this time, just take care of yourself first.
Since she decided to fully assist in countering the rebellion, she gritted her teeth and nodded, saying.
"I do have some ideas, please correct me."
"Please say."
“The three cities of Kachi, Xinfatian and Shigogongye are all in the middle of Shimotsu, still some distance from the coastline.
They do not have enough troops, and it is not convenient to mobilize too many peasant and soldier transports in late winter. If you want to come and go freely, there is no shortage of logistics, you can only use water transportation.
Niigatazu in the south and Shionojin in the north are connected to the Shimotsu Water Conservancy in the middle, which can be used as a transportation channel.
When Shinbada Chodon sends troops, he must open up Niigatajin in the south, and then encroach on Suwon Castle in the middle reaches. To the north, we must capture Shionojin and protect our water transportation logistics lines from being harassed.
Our army can take action in these two aspects. As long as Niigatazu and Shionozu are blocked, the scope of the rebellion will be locked within the three families' own territories. "
Shiba Yiyin glanced at Yasuda Nagahide, this guy is not a good guy.
