Yukiyo Yukiyo said without changing his expression.
"This is indeed the case.
Saito Norihiro is very ambitious and has been trying to win over me in recent years. She wants to reach out and take over Nagano Haramachi. "
Azuma County is composed of four towns and two villages along the Azuma River, and is officially under the jurisdiction of the Saito family of Iwaki Castle.
However, the Saito family is not strong enough. The middle and lower-class samurai families here do not care about Saito Norihiro, the apparent leader of the Azuma clan. Instead, she needs to win over the local martial arts family to control the place.
East of Iwaki Castle, Nakanojo Town, Takayama Village, and Higashi Azuma Town are the most fertile lands along the Azuma River, leading respectively to Songshan Castle in the northeast, Numata Castle in the east, and Shirai Castle in the southeast.
To the west of Iwaki Castle is Naganohara Town, to the northwest of Naganohara Town is Kusatsu Town leading to Hokushin, and to the southwest is Tsumagoi Village leading to Sanada Township.
Fetao Castle is in the middle of this area, and Kamahara Castle is near Otsusa in the southwest, which is the area around Tsumagoi Village.
Saito Norihiro wanted to take advantage of the conflict between the Habi-Kahara family and play a snipe-clam fight, which would benefit the fisherman.
Sanada Nobushige bared his teeth and smiled.
"Interesting, what about you? You won't just watch Norihiro Saito stretch his hand over and won't resist, right?"
Yukiyo Hao glanced at Yukishige Kamarahara.
"I have a good relationship with Saito Norima Saito, a relative of the Saito family."
Kamahara Yuki glanced back.
"I have an old relationship with Shigeyasu Ikeda, an important minister of the Saito family, but she is currently guarding Songshan City."
Several Ji warriors sitting here came out to bow and said.
"We all have clan members who work for the Saito family in Yangui City, right in Yangui City."
Sanada Nobushige slapped his thigh and cheered.
"Great! You are all great!
The summer harvest is coming soon. The Saito family in Rock Cabinet City is busy with farming and is not on guard. What a God-given opportunity!
Each family went back to gather the young warriors, secretly open the city gate with the help of internal agents, and follow me to raid Yangui City and Songshan City. We will capture these two cities first. "
Umino Totsuna suddenly said something.
"Where's the food? What about the military rations sent by each family?"
The Numata family was in civil strife, and Echigo had not yet reached Numata County in Ueno Province, let alone Azuma County. There was a severe drought this year and the harvest was poor. Each family in the mountains did not have enough food to eat. How could they collect military supplies for the war?
At this time, Yukiyuki Sanada, who was sitting outside, finally came out to speak.
"Ancestor Haiye, don't worry.
In order to support the various relatives in Azuma County and resist Saito Norihiro's aggressive atrocities, the Sanada family has prepared a large amount of military supplies in the ancient Matsuo Castle in Sanada Township.
Not only were there military rations, but there were also weapons and weapons, enough to last five hundred people for a month.
I will go back immediately to contact the mobilization and transport the military supplies. As long as everyone works together, military supplies can be transported to the front line in three days. "
Umino Totsuna smiled coldly.
"Sanada Yukitaka really cares about people like us."
Yukiyuki Sanada ignored the old woman's sarcasm and bowed seriously in reply.
"The Sanada family is a member of the Shino clan, and they should do what they can for their fellow clansmen in Azuma County."
Umino Totsuna smiled.
"You look different on the outside, but you don't mean what you say. You have indeed obtained the true inheritance of the Sanada family."
She turned to Sanada Nobushige and said.
"I see that you are straightforward in what you say and do. Don't imitate the words and deeds of three generations of your family. It really disgusts me."
Sanada Nobushige gave Umino Totsuna a thumbs up and smiled with big white teeth.
"Understand!"
She turned around and gave her sister Yukiyuki Sanada a bright smile.
"Then please worry about it, sister. I will definitely repay you for your support in the future."
Umino Totsuna snorted, realizing that this little girl was even more shameless than Yukiyuki Sanada.
Seeing that the sneak attack strategy is gradually being perfected, it will be finalized soon. Yukiyo Yukiyo couldn't help but ask if he had a close relationship with Norihiro Saito.
"What happens after taking down Yangui City and Songshan City? How will Saito Norihiro deal with them?"
Sanada Nobushige blinked his big innocent eyes, but said chilling words in his mouth.
“Of course it’s to eliminate the roots.
The entire clan was exterminated, and no retainers who were loyal to the master's family were left behind, and all were sent down to accompany Saito Norihiro. "
Yuwei Yukiyo swallowed hard, remembering the clan execution that his family almost suffered a few days ago, and said dryly.
"Is this appropriate? The Saito family of Iwaki City is an old samurai family who has stayed in Azuma County for hundreds of years."
Sanada Nobushige asked rhetorically.
"If I don't uproot the Saito family in Iwaki Castle, where can I find land and distribute it to my fellow members of the Shino clan?
In the Nakanojo Basin, the land on both sides of the Azuma River in Higashi Azuma Town is fertile and has the best fields in Azuma County. Although the Alpine Village is a bit worse, it still has a valley in the valley.
If Saito Norihiro's territory is not cleaned up and down, what should she do if she turns back and runs to Echigo, crying in front of His Highness Uesugi or the Odaisho, and wants to return to the territory?
Isn't this causing trouble to your two highnesses? "
After Sanada Nobushige finished speaking, all the Ji warriors nodded.
"Yes, as ministers, we cannot embarrass your two highnesses."
"Yeah, it's better to kill them all to avoid trouble in the future."
“Cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”
Yukiyo Yukiyo felt chilled after hearing this. She didn't expect Sanada Nobushige to speak so frankly. She may seem like an innocent girl, but she hides an unscrupulous beast in her heart.
She reluctantly retorted.
"But... there has to be a reason, right?"
Sanada Nobushige pointed at Kamara Yukishige and said.
"Isn't the reason ready? Saito Norihiro sent troops to attack Kamahara Castle, expel our compatriots, and massacre our compatriots.
When I saw that I was taking the Sanada people back to my hometown to visit relatives, I was immediately filled with righteous indignation. Therefore, the Sanada people each returned home to contact their kin, and together they fought against the rebellious Saito Norihiro.
Saito Norihiro defeated fear, killed his entire family, and then committed suicide out of fear of crime. Many loyal ministers under his command voluntarily followed their master to serve in the underworld, and committed seppuku, which is really sad.
Yukiyo-sama Yukiyo, what do you think? "
At the end of Sanada Nobushige's words, his tone was sinister, and all the girls present also cast angry looks at Yukiyo Yukiyo.
Yukiyo Yuki knew that he had already offended the public by saying a few words on behalf of Norihiro Saito.
These bastards' eyes are green with hunger, and now all they can think about is going out to grab food, land, and men. Anyone who blocks their way deserves to die.
She didn't dare to say anything more and bowed her head in acquiescence.
Sanada Nobushige saw Yukiyo giving in, smiled slightly, and turned his eyes to Umino Riichi not far away. I saw her kowtow slightly to express her appreciation.
Sanada Nobushige's performance today was all based on the strategy designed by Umino Riichi. What stood out was that he was eager for quick success and ruthless.
Sanada Nobushige's prestige among the Shino clan in Azuma County is not yet stable. She must use the fastest speed to distribute a large amount of benefits to everyone and gain their sincere following.
The Saito family of Iwaki City must die a tragic death, so that those who are dissatisfied will be frightened and dare not disobey Sanada Nobunaga's will casually.
