Kyogoku Gaomasa is not afraid of what Yamagata Shengxin will do!
In fact, the Wakasa Takeda family was not considered a salty fish a few years ago. Even though the leader Takeda Motomitsu was not a wise and powerful person, he was not enterprising enough and more than conservative. Historically, when Takeda Motomitsu was in power, the Wakasa Takeda family had smooth sailing the rest of the time, except for a few times when they fought in the wrong team in the Luo war.
But after Takeda Motomitsu's death, things quickly went downhill!
Today's Wakasa Takeda family is like a child with a treasure, surrounded by cunning villains who covet their wealth!
As the saying goes, a man is not guilty of carrying a treasure, but Wakasa of the Takeda family is indeed a prosperous place. No matter which neighbor is around, he will be interested in the Takeda family.
Kyogoku Gaozheng supported Yamagata Shinobu to ascend to power, and Yamagata Shinobu wanted to hold on to Wakasa's territory, so he could only continue to hold on to the Kyogoku family.
Otherwise, the Asakura family and the Isshiki family next door will attack together, and the Takeda family will have no power to fight back.
And if Yamagata Shengxin finds another partner, such as falling into the arms of the Asakura family, what is the difference between surrendering to the Kyogoku family?
At least the Kyogoku family can still guarantee the Takeda family's control over Wakasa, but the Asakura family may not.
Shanxian Shengxin also knew this very well. What he said just now was just a test.
"This matter is of great importance, and I don't think Shimonosuke can give an immediate answer! Shimonosuke-don can return to Gozeyama Castle to consider it carefully for a few days. If you think about it clearly, you can come here again. I'm still here waiting for you!"
"No need!"
Shanxian Shengxin's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he said solemnly: "I agree to Sakyo's proposal to enter the palace, but I also have a request!"
"Shimonosuke-don, please tell me!"
"After the Kyogoku family enters the city, they are not allowed to harm our Takeda clan members! As for the lord... we are not allowed to harm his life!"
Hearing Yamagata Shengnobu's words, Tsutsui Shunren was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and said: "If Takeda Nobunto is sensible, the poor monk can agree to Nosuke on my lord's behalf!"
"But if Takeda Nobunto disobeys, then he will bring the blame upon himself. According to the Lord's temperament, we will not be able to help him!"
"I understand!"
"Master Shunlian, please tell Zuo Jing to enter the palace. As soon as the Kyogoku family's troops arrive, I will respond immediately in the city!" After Shanxian Shengxin finished speaking, he took something out of his arms and placed it on the table, "This is what will happen later. The military deployment map of Seyama Castle, the distribution of military forces of Yatsumi, Muto and other families are all on the map!"
"This is my sincerity!"
Tsutsui Shunlian put away the defense map with a smile, and looked at Shanxian Shengxin with an increasingly kind look.
No one doesn't like to deal with smart people. It is obvious that Yamagata Shengxin's move completely sold out the Takeda family and successfully proved his sincerity in joining the Kyogoku family.
"Very good! The day when Mr. Yamagata becomes the head of the Takeda family is not far away!"
.........
Tsutsui Shunren and Yamazaki Hiroyuki acted separately.
Among the lists provided by Kyogoku Takamasa, Yamagata Shengxin is at the top of the list.
In response to Wakasa's strategy, Kyogoku Takamasa had already considered supporting a member of the Takeda family to become a puppet before sending troops.
After all, Takeda Nobutaka is too ambitious, and such a person is not easy to control.
Fortunately, Takeda Nobutaka is dead, which saved Kyogoku Takamasa a lot of trouble. And Yamagata Shengxin is the primary target of Kyogoku Gaomasa!
Wakasa is not the territory of the Kyogoku family, and the Takeda family is not a samurai family that can attack at will. If the Kyogoku family wants to dominate Wakasa, they can't just rely on force to conquer it, otherwise they will become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, he can only adopt this method of supporting the puppet and indirectly controlling Wakasa.
Tsutsui Shunren successfully reached a PY deal with Yamagata Shengxin, while the Yamazaki Hiroyuki family on the other side also successfully instigated the rebellion of several Takeda family samurai. One of them is Taimo Hongo, the lord of Dacheng City.
The Hongo family was originally a powerful and powerful family in Wakasa, but later its territory was taken over by the shogunate as imperial land, which led to the decline of the Hongo family. Then the approaching Muto family kept attacking the Hongo family, making the Hongo family's position in Wakasa precarious.
This time Hongo Yasushiro joined Kuriya Mototaka's side in rebellion, which was also a helpless move.
After returning to Zenbuyama Castle, Tsutsui Shunren and Yamazaki Hiroyuki informed Kyogoku Takamasa of the results of their trip.
Seeing that both of them had completed their tasks, Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't help but nodded, "You two did a good job this time, and I will reward you heavily after this battle!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Since the internal response at Kagoze Mountain Castle is already in place, we don't have to waste time here!"
"Send an order to the Uesaka Minbu that the Naitokan must be captured within today!"
"ha!"
"My lord!" At this moment, Numata Mitsukazu from the imperial palace suddenly stood up, "My lord, Matsunomiya Genbanyun in the Naito Hall has a deep grudge against our Numata clan. My father died at the hands of the Matsunomiya family. hand!"
"This time I request to go out to fight and kill the enemy with my own hands!"
When the Numata family lived in Kumagawa Township, they were constantly facing attacks from the Matsugiya family. Numata Mitsukazu and Numata Mitsukane's father were killed in one of the battles.
Hearing Numata Mitsukazu's words, Kyogoku Takamasa nodded quickly and said: "In that case, then the Palace Assistant will lead his troops to Naitokan to participate in the battle!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Numata Mitsuwa said excitedly, and then immediately left the palace to gather troops.
Soon, Uesaka Munanobu, who had been gearing up outside the Naito Hall for several days, received an attack order from Kyogoku Takamasa.
At this time, Numata Mitsuwa also rushed to the battlefield with more than a thousand ashigaru under his command. The two joined forces and immediately began to attack the city.
The Kyogoku family's siege in the past few days was just a feint attack. Now that Ashigaru has repaired for a few days and regained its strength, the siege intensity has increased sharply. As soon as the battle started, Naito Genren and others in the city were directly defeated.
"My lord, there is an emergency at Kashoumon. Matsunomiya Genban-yun can no longer hold on any longer. I request my lord to send a team of Ashigaru for support immediately!"
Naito Genren, who was standing at Otemon, cursed loudly: "Open your eyes and look, Otemon is about to be breached by the enemy. How can there be anyone in my family who can support Otemon?"
"Why did the Kyogoku family become so powerful all of a sudden? It shouldn't have happened!" Naito Genren was full of doubts.
If the Kyogoku family showed such strong combat power from the beginning, Naito Hall might not be able to hold on for even two days.
It's a pity that what Naito Genren doesn't know is that this is just Kyogoku Takamasa's desire to let him live a few more days.
"Report!"
"The enemy Numata team captured the Kashou Gate, and Matsunomiya Genban Yun was begged by the enemy Numata Palace Young Assistant!"
"Report! The enemy is advancing towards Honmaru, Ninomaru is in danger!"
"Lord, look, the enemy's army, Daisuke Uesaka Minbu, has dispatched!"
"My Lord, Young Master...Young Master was hit by several arrows and fell off the city."
Listening to the bad news that kept ringing in his ears, Naito Genren suddenly felt a surge in his stomach, and then he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
"The Kyogoku family, why do you want to play tricks on me like this!"
After saying that, Naito Genlian rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.
