Daxiong Chaoxiu's proposal is actually very wicked.
The Numata retainers group asked Hojo Ujiyasu for an heir to inherit the Numata family. This was a necessary measure to stand in line.
The heirs sent by the Hojo family are both the new family governor and hostages to ensure that the Hojo family will never abandon the Numata family.
Okuma Asahide proposed that Sanada Nobunaga intercept the Hojo children, which caused the Hojo family and the Numata family to lose the cornerstone of trust, which seemed to be a good thing.
But the question is, where to cut it?
If the Hojo family wants to send people off quickly, they have to take the waterway, that is, go north along the Tone River. Along the way, we passed Amabashi Castle, Sosha Castle, Shirai Castle, and finally Numata Castle.
Sanada Nobushige occupied Azuma County. If she wanted to arrest someone, the shortest route would be to start from the Alpine Village at the northern foot of Mount Komochi, pass through the Nakayama Pass, and go straight to the Tone River.
This section of the Tone River basin is near Shirai Castle.
In the current situation in KitUeno, the Nagao family of Shirai Headquarters has decided to join Uesugi Teruhora, while the Nagano family of Amabashi City is still secretly helping the Hojo family.
The two cities of Shirai Headquarters are stuck between the two cities of Numata and Amabashi. Before Terutora Uesugi went south, the two Nagao families would never take the initiative to offend the Hojo family and would definitely let their children pass through the Tone River.
If the Hojo son was intercepted in the Tone River basin near Shirai Castle, how would this matter be settled? Would you like Teruhora Uesugi to say hello to the Shirai Nagao family in advance?
Is Ohuma Asohide making it difficult for Teruhora Uesugi to be a good person, or is he legitimately giving her problems?
When Hojo's heirs were absent from the Numata family, the Numata retainers group was divided and in a state of civil strife. With Numata Kenyasu stepping in to divide her family, her family's resistance to the Echigo army would be weak.
But if the Hojo descendants arrive at Numata Castle and officially inherit the Miao name and family business, then the Numata family's will to resist will be much stronger.
Teruhora Uesugi glanced at Daxiong Chaohide again and sneered. Uesugi Kagenobu put in a lot of effort to win over both Nagao from Shirai Headquarters, but Okuma Asahi's strategy was really a slap in the face.
Shiba Yoshigan sighed secretly, and couldn't make it too difficult for Uesugi Teruhora. She won't resent Yiyin, but she will resent Daxiong Chaoxiu. She will turn around and kill this right-hand man for causing trouble. But what should she do?
Daxiong Chaoxiu is also true. She has always been cautious. Why did she come out to talk about this today?
Yiyin coughed slightly and said.
“Hojo Ujiyasu can’t catch up.
If we send troops after autumn, the Numata family can still let the Hojo heirs inherit the family business and unite against our military power, but now it is too late.
In ten days at most, Nagachi Kawada will arrive at Sakado Castle, and in twenty days at most, she will launch an attack.
Even if the Hojo heirs arrived at Numata Castle, the Hojo family and the Numata retainers would not have time to get along, and they would be defeated by Kawada Nagauchi's summer offensive.
Your Highness Uesugi, what do you think? "
Uesugi Teru's face looked better and he nodded.
"Gong Qianxin is well versed in military strategy, and his words make sense."
Big Bear kowtowed to Chao Xiu and said.
"The imperial court is wise.
In this case, there is no need for Sanada Nobushige to intercept people, but to support Kawada Nagachichi to capture Numata Castle as soon as possible.
If the delay is too long, the Numata retainers will become determined to support the Hojo family, which will affect the plans after the autumn harvest. "
Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi were both stunned. It turned out that this guy had this idea.
If it is inconvenient to open the window, ask to open the roof first. After stopping her from poking the roof, if she mentioned opening the window again, it would be easy for her to pass.
Previously, Yoshigan Shiba had agreed that Nagauchi Kawada, a Uesugi warrior family, would be responsible for the strategy of Numata County. Now that the two sides have reached a compromise, it is inconvenient for more people to interfere.
But knowing that Sanada Nobushige had captured Azuma County, Daxiong Chaohide used his brains to get her to attack and help the Kanto Palace get another piece of the pie.
But she couldn't discuss the matter that the two masters had already decided. Let’s talk about other things, such as how to take advantage of Sanada Nobushige’s new military advantage.
Let’s talk about retaining the Hojo heir first. Terutora Uesugi was unhappy and Yoshihiro Shiba tried to smooth things over. Then we proposed that Sanada Nobunshige help Kawada get married?
It was inconvenient for Uesugi Teru to dismiss it. Shiba Yoshigan had just spoken for him, and his tone should not be too harsh, so as not to stalemate the relationship between them.
Daxiong played tricks on Xiu, and the two masters were silent. Naoe Keizuna, who was standing next to him, laughed.
"Okuma-hime, do you mean to ask Sanada Nobushige to flank Naikou Castle from behind to reduce the pressure on Kawada Nagachichi from the front?"
Daxiong Chaoxiu glanced at the smiling Naoe Keizuna, and secretly cursed him as a bastard.
Numata Castle is located in the center of Numata Basin and is surrounded by mountains.
Kawada Nagauchi's army started from Sakato Castle in Central Vietnam and passed through the Yuzawa Josui line before entering the Numata Basin.
The branch city of Numata Castle, named Kurumi Castle, is stuck in the mountains on the west side of Minakami Town, north of Numata Castle. Without the removal of Mingwalnut Castle, Kawada Nagauchi would not be able to continue southward and threaten Numata Castle.
As for the Azuma County occupied by Sanada Nobushige, he could advance directly eastward from Takayama Village and invade the Numata Basin. Why let her go north to Walnut City? Is it a stepping stone for Kawada Changqin?
The best military strategy should be to use Kawada Nagauchi's military strength to attract the Numata family's troops in front of Walnut Castle. Sanada Nobushige then took advantage of the situation to break out of Takayama Village and capture the empty Numata Castle.
This strategy is not in the interest of the Uesugi family, and it is not convenient for Uesugi Teruhu to speak. Naoe Keizuna came forward to confuse right and wrong, and asked Sanada Nobushige to go north to attack the famous Walnut Castle and help Kawada Nagauchi pull out the nail.
Daxiong Chaoxiu snorted coldly and was about to refute Naoe Keizuna's suggestion. I just heard Sibo Yiyin slap his palm on the desk, and it made a loud noise.
He snapped at the big bear Chao Xiu.
“That’s it!
Order Nobushige Sanada to concentrate his forces, and after the summer harvest, go north to the famous Kurumi Castle, and assist Kawada Nagauchi in taking over the famous Kurumi Castle and Numata Castle. There must be no mistake! "
Sibo Yiyin was angry and Daxiong Chaoxiu did not dare to argue anymore. She had to lie down and accept the order.
Uesugi Teruhora on the side felt warm in his heart when he saw Shiba Yoshigage getting angry. After all, he still faced me and didn't let the people below embarrass me.
So, Terutora Uesugi said.
“Just do it.
After taking the famous Walnut Castle and letting the Sanada people send troops to garrison it, Kawada Nagauchi continued southward and took Numata Castle directly. "
Shiba Yigen has good intentions, and Uesugi Teruhu will certainly not make things difficult for his sweetheart. If Numata Castle can't give it, then separate a city called Walnut Castle to help Yoshigashi Shiba appease the Kanto Palace.
Uesugi Teruhora sneered in his heart, the samurai families in the Kanto Palace had begun to become restless, and they couldn't help but jump out so quickly.
The merger of Uesugi and Shiba was not only a matter of Uesugi Teruhora and Shiba Yoshigan, but also the fusion of two samurai groups. Of course she knew it wouldn't be easy, but she wasn't afraid.
Uesugi Teruhora prides himself on his military talent and will definitely capture the Kanto Plain as a betrothal gift. And with Shiba Yiyin's affection for him, the samurai family in the Kanto Palace can't make waves and will obey the overall situation sooner or later.
The four people fought openly and secretly, and finally settled on a barely acceptable plan. The Uesugi clan was named Numata Castle, and the Shiba clan was named Walnut Castle.
The two lords were very tired trying to coordinate the balance between the two factions. Daxiong Zhaoxiu felt that he was at a disadvantage, and Naoe Keizuna also felt that he was at a disadvantage.
But they didn't know how happy Sanada Nobushige would be when she heard the news. Her original goal was Walnut City.
Even if Numata Castle is given to the Shiba clan, Sanada Nobushige's weight is too light for her to hold. Shiba Yoshigan will definitely send someone else to take charge here.
Although the famous Walnut Castle is remote and barren, it is a necessary fulcrum for passing through the Echigo Mountains. The most important thing is that Sanada Nobushige can hold it.
For Sanada Nobushige, she doesn't care about acquiring more territory. What she cares about most is how valuable she is to Shiba Yoshigan.
So, of course it is better to be called Walnut City!
