After confirming that all parties were willing to make peace, Yiyin once again moved forward to the base, crossed the Shochuan River and returned to Takaoka Castle to facilitate negotiations with all parties.

Because he was worried, Uesugi Teruhora brought his elite troops to Takaoka Castle to escort him this time, but Yoshihiro didn't take it seriously.

Politically, he has the help of Ming Yushang, militarily the samurai family also has the advantage, and economically he has the help of Hokurikudo's business interests. Yiyin is full of confidence in this mediation, and stability for a few years will not be a problem.

Just when he was savoring the fruits of victory after all his hardships, Terutora Uesugi came to see him for something.

The two were having a secret conversation in the Takaoka Castle Residence Hall, and Uesugi Teruhu frowned and said.

"Two pieces of news came from Echigo, one good and one bad."

Yiyin smiled and said.

"Then let's make it sweet first and then bitter. Let's talk about it first."

The Shiba family's foundation in Kanto is shallow, and the military team was sent by Yi Bank to infiltrate the Kanto plain. His information was limited, and he was far less well-informed than the Echigo-Uesugi family.

Teruhora Uesugi said, dumbfounded.

"I'm not sure if it's good news or not. Takeda Harunobu succeeded and she won Suruga Country."

Yiyin was shocked.

"How could it be so fast? No matter how the Imagawa family declines, they won't be so vulnerable, right?"

Teruhora Uesugi sighed.

"Shou Guisen passed away at the beginning of the year, and Takeda Harunobu was cunning and good at recruiting people outside the situation to rebel against the samurai family. The Imagawa family was strong on the outside and fell down with just one push."

Yiyin was stunned, the Imagawa family was really having a bad time, and they were really unlucky.

"Tell me specifically, what's going on?"

Terutora Uesugi spoke eloquently.

The father of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Shouki Monk, is old and frail, and has long ignored the affairs of the Imagawa family.

However, her daughter was killed in battle and her granddaughter could not hold back the retainers. She had to drag her old body to stand up for her granddaughter.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m too sad after my daughter’s death, or because the internal and external troubles this year have hurt my energy. The old man could not survive the deep winter and passed away at the beginning of the year.

After the death of Shougei Monk, the Imagawa clan could no longer suppress the retainers, and even the samurai family near Sunfu Castle had uneasy feelings.

At this time, Takeda Harunobu broke the alliance and went south to invade Suruga Country on the grounds that the Imagawa family used the salt control strategy.

She quickly captured the unsuspecting Fuji County and headed straight for the Imagawa clan's true Sunfu Castle. The Imagawa clan bravely led the retainer group to fight and blocked Takeda's army at Satao Pass.

Satsuma Pass, Hakone Pass, and Suzuka Pass are collectively known as the Three Difficulties on the Tokaido Road. They are easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was strategically correct for the Imagawa family to really defend Satobao Pass and wait for the Hojo family to support them.

It's a pity that the Imagawa retainers group had already been instigated by Takeda Harunobu, and it was riddled with holes, and the monk Shou Kei died suddenly. Once the Imagawa family's sea-fixing needle was gone, the Imagawa family really couldn't control the situation.

As a result, before the two armies fought, 21 important ministers defected in front of the Imagawa family formation. The army was demoralized and collapsed without a fight.

The Takeda family captured Sunpu Castle without a fight, and the Imagawa family had no choice but to flee to Kakegawa Castle on the Toon River.

Because the battle was defeated so quickly, her husband, Hojo Ujiyasu's son, did not even have time to get into the bullock cart and could only escape on foot.

News of his son's embarrassing escape was reported back to Odawara Castle in Sagami Province, making Hojo Ujiyasu furious. The Hojo family has found out about the Echigo army's march to Echichu, and began to mobilize in preparation for sending troops to Suruga Kingdom.

At the same time, Motoyasu Matsudaira of Mikawa Province, who was notified by the Takeda family, also launched an operation.

The three people in Xiyuanjiang had already secretly taken refuge with Matsudaira Motoyasu, and the Matsudaira family's military power did not encounter any obstacles in Xiyuanjiang.

Matsudaira Motoyasu quickly captured Iigani Castle and Hima Castle in the central part of Toe Kingdom. The famous Ii family in Yuejiang, under the leadership of the male family director Ii Naotora, took the lead in joining the Matsudaira family, which shocked Yuanjiang for a while.

The Imagawa family was in Suruga, and the ruling systems of the two countries in Toga were destroyed by attacks from both sides in one spring. The Imagawa family is shivering in Kakegawa Castle on the Toyuan River, and the family fortune is about to collapse before their eyes.

After confirming that the Imagawa clan was no longer a threat, Takeda Harunobu turned to deal with the approaching Hojo army. Matsudaira Motoyasu also stopped at Eima City, waiting for an opportunity.

After Sibo Yiyin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The Tokaido fight turned into a pot of porridge. No matter who was the winner in the end, the Imagawa family was definitely the loser.

The family fortune left by Imagawa Yoshimoto was smashed to pieces. At the same time, the Tokaido trade route, which had been peaceful for many years and was considered safe by the caravans, was also finished.

Shiba Yiyin said.

"That's good news.

The Tokaido is unsafe, and in recent times caravans must choose the Hokuriku trade route. The large amount of business profits is enough for us to stabilize the situation in Noto Ezhong and focus on launching the Kanto strategy. "

Uesugi Teruhu disagreed.

"Takeda Harunobu used despicable methods to alienate the Suruga people. Although he gained the upper hand for the moment, he will definitely pay more price in the future.

Nowadays, the attitude of the Matsudaira family in Toe State is unclear, and Hojo Ujiyasu is determined to stand up for the Imagawa family. She may not be able to stabilize the situation. "

Yoshigan Shiba knew that Terutora Uesugi looked down on Takeda Harunobu, and always believed that her strategies outside the battlefield were ineffective.

But Yoshigan admires this approach very much. If Terutora Uesugi could learn from Takeda Harunobu and use his brain more to do things, he wouldn't be so tired.

Teruhora Uesugi's perspective on this matter makes sense. Violence is the most costly solution, but it is also the most radical.

Takeda Harunobu was eager for success and won over the rebel Suruga people. He indeed quickly captured Suruga Country, but the spoils would be much less.

The Suruga National Stone is 150,000 high, and most of the country is mountainous. Only around the four rivers that lead to the sea in the south, there are many alluvial plains.

At the junction of Oigawa and Higashionjiang River, there are many samurai who are loyal to Kakegawa Castle's Imagawa clan.

The Kano River is the border with the Hojo family. The Hojo family still has a lot of territory in Suruga country. The Takeda family cannot influence the samurai family there.

The land actually obtained by Takeda Harunobu was mostly along the Fuji River and Abe River, and would not exceed 100,000 koku. The Kaibi people who sent troops may not have enough land.

In order to appease the Suruga people who came to seek refuge, Takeda Harunobu could not snatch their land, and the Kai people would get even less.

Therefore, Takeda Harunobu seems to have taken advantage, but in fact it leaves a lot of hidden dangers, and the Kai clan may not be able to accommodate the Suruga clan. And the Hojo family is coming fiercely, and the internal and external tests have just begun.

Yoshiro rolled his eyes at Teru Uesugi.

Whatever Terutora Uesugi can think of, Harunobu Takeda will only calculate it more deeply. Whether to do it or not is a choice that weighs the pros and cons. The great names of the Wu family were helpless. What could they do while riding on the back of a tiger?

Terutora Uesugi is dismissive of Takeda Harunobu.

On the one hand, she admired Wu Zi's idea of ​​advancing to death as an honor and retiring from life as a humiliation. She disapproved of Takeda Harunobu's admiration for his grandson's military strategy and then his friendship.

On the other hand, the problem lies with Yiyin Spoelstra. The more Yoshigan admires Takeda Harunobu's approach, the more dismissive Uesugi Teruhu becomes.

Everything that involves the relationship between men and women is simply unreasonable and is just a sour word.
