Chapter 1136: Clearing Internal Troubles
"Let the Takeda army retreat. Being cautious in the mountain road is more important than seeking a few heads." Takeda Shingen is not a fool. Since Takeda army retreated decisively at this time, it must have a backup plan. Moreover, at this time, it is the kingly way to strive for time stability as soon as possible. As for entanglement with the Takeda family, this is not Masayoro's purpose.
So, when the Fenglin Volcano banner disappeared among the mountains, Masara also walked down the level. At the same time, he thought to himself, "The Suruga situation is over, and the Kanto situation has just begun."
Just as the Imakawa family repelled the Takeda family army, an army was walking on the Suruga Plain, looking at the banner of the Bina clan. The team of hundreds of people was heading towards Nomatsu Platform.
"Taicho, why should we rush to the battlefield? The Toei Imagawa family has just set the Suruga, and it is the time to kill. All the powerful clans dare not move without orders. Our clan leads troops forward, and they may be misunderstood." Asahina Nobuya said worriedly.
After the Suruga Imagawa family surrendered to the Tomeng Imagawa family, he quickly surrendered to the Tomeng Imagawa family with Taisho. This time, just as the Tomeng Imagawa family and the Takeda family were fighting in Nomatsutai, the Asahi Imagawa family did not hesitate to lead troops to support, and at the same time asked the Asahi Imagawa family to go with him.
"It is because no one moved that we went. Otherwise, how could we highlight our status as the Asahi Na family?" Asahi Nai said to Asahi Nai Tai.
In fact, Asabi Taidae had a little selfish intention. After all, he had conflicts with the Toei Imakawa family before. Even the family territory in the Toei Kingdom was occupied by the Toei Imakawa family, and the family and their clan members became prisoners of the Toei Imakawa family. After some negotiations, although he could not return to his own territory, at least he was redeeming his own family and their clan members.
It was through this negotiation that the Asahina Taicho's family was able to establish a relationship with the Toei Imagawa family. Now, the Asahina Taicho naturally hopes to take advantage of the opportunity of the Toei Imagawa family and the Takeda family to show their loyalty, and perhaps the relationship between the Asahina family and the Toei Imagawa family can be further improved.
The army stopped when they reached the periphery of Nomatsutai. Asahita and Asahina Nobuki only took a dozen cavalry guards into the mountain road. The army could not spread out in the mountain road, and the extra thousand or less were the same. However, if they easily led their troops into the mountain road and blocked the retreat of the Imakawa family, they would be suspected of being inappropriate, whether intentionally or not.
The two of them went lightly. Soon they met the soldiers of the Tomeng Imakawa family on the mountain road, asked for their location, and looked forward to find Masara's main formation. The soldiers on the road were excited and kept talking about Takeda Shingen's repelled. Asabi Naitaki secretly wrote down, and they were more determined about their choice. As soon as Takeda retreated, Suruga was the item in the Tomeng Imakawa family.
When they arrived at the level, they reported that the two were led in.
"Asai Nata Toshi (Asai Nata Nobuya) greets the master. Congratulations to the great victory of Takeda Shingen." The two knelt down with great gifts. Masara's second son, Nobuya Rak, quickly asked the two to get up and asked the servant to carry two horses to sit down. The reason for letting the second son, Nobuya Rak, come to see these two people face to face is mainly because Masara will leave here sooner or later. So it is more appropriate to let the second son come forward.
"Mr. Asahina Taisho, I am deeply pleased to be able to support my family." After explaining the situation, Nobura Roche expressed his gratitude to the two, at least explaining the attitude of some of the wealthy families in Suruga: they are willing to surrender.
"I dare not take credit, and I have important things to report to the master." The matter is big or small. After thinking about it, Tachita Asahita was brewing for a while, he continued, "In order to persuade Tokura Castle, I made an arbitrari decision to let the city's guard Masato Okabe go. Please punish him." After that, he knelt on the soil.
Okabe Masatsugu was the younger brother of Okabe Motonobu who was defeated by Roche and Masaro several times and died. Although Roche Nobura was a little dissatisfied with the release of Okabe Masatsuguro when Akihinatato was released, it was another great achievement for him to win the Tomeng Imakawa family without bloodshed. After all, Tokang Castle is the gateway city of Suruga Kingdom that entered the Hojo family by land by land.
Besides, his father Masaruo once said that he would pursue everything to the end, not the master. Although Torii Taiko was a little selfish, it doesn’t matter as long as it didn’t affect the overall situation. Those who do not care about big and small matters and ask the bottom line are at most village chiefs. After thinking about this, Luo Shi Nobura immediately said: “He is not an important person, just leave when you leave!”
After hearing this, Asahinata Asahi finally let go of the last doubts in his heart. The Toei Imakawa family, this adult, could not have known the friendship between him and Okabe Motonobu's colleagues. He said that he wanted to let Okabe Masato go: Can the monarch and his ministers trust and trust? When the monarch is electing his ministers, the ministers are also choosing the monarch.
Now, after getting the reply he hoped, Nobuya Asahina has decided to serve the Imakawa family without reservation. This is how the king and his ministers are suitable. The king does not doubt his ministers, the ministers do not doubt his kings, the king is suspicious, and the ministers are disinterested. Of course, the premise is that the great man deserves his ministers to die.
Since he had made a decision in his heart, Asahita Gripped his teeth and revealed an important information he had obtained before: "My Lord, when I was persuaded to surrender Tokura Castle, I sent an envoy to the Katsuyama family and asked him to send troops to help the Hoshisuka to surrender to the powerful people of Higashisuka, but the Katsuyama family drove out the envoys who were there."
"oh?"
Sure enough, after hearing the words of Asahi Nai Taicho, Roche Nobura frowned. Seeing this scene, Asahi Nai Taicho knew that there would be no problem with his adventure to reveal the information, so he immediately continued: "The heir of the Katsuyama family, Katsuyama, is from Takeda Shingen's son, and the Katsuyama family seems to have some secret contact with the Hojo family and Takeda family on the border."
The Katsuyama family mentioned by Asahinata Asahi is located at the border between Suruga, Sagami and Katsukai. If you walk halfway east from Katsuyashi, you can reach Ashita Castle, the key city of Suruga, to Sagami. Towards the north, you can also enter the Katsukai region of the Takeda family. For a long time, this family has always been between the Imakawa family and the Hojo family for a long time. If the family changes, it will indeed have a great impact on the Imakawa family, which has just ended the civil strife.
However, according to his father Masaruo, he hopes that a wealthy family will take the initiative to stand up and confront them. They also take this opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers within the Imakawa family and take the opportunity to increase the control of the Luo family over the local area. However, Luo's Noburo did not expect that there would be a success so soon.
So after thinking about this, Luo Shi Nobura immediately smiled and said, "At this time, I know that Lord Asahita Tora is also known to my loyal ministers."
"Yes!" Although I don't know why the mysterious young master Nobura in front of me did not respond immediately, since I got the recognition of the Akihina family by the other party, Askihina Taisho naturally would not say more.
In this way, it was August of the fifth year of Eulu. Calculate the day, Takeda Shingen had retreated for more than ten days. The information sent back from the Intelligence Pavilion every day showed that the Takeda family did not seem to continue to mobilize troops against Suruga. Instead, they mobilized a lot of troops to the Kitashino area. I don’t know if it was to deal with the Uesugi family or had other intentions.
So Masara left a thousand regular defenses, and continued to dig mountains and build a city in the mountain road, and then brought the rest of the army back to Junfu. He was preparing to guide Imakawa Jung and Luo's Nobura and others behind the scenes to control the entire Imakawa family's territory.
However, before he could start his action, he heard a message from the Intelligence Pavilion that three Imakawa family soldiers who were on vacation had died in the territory of the Geshan family.
The investigation result is: The three dead people were originally idle people in the Geshan family territory. When they visited the Tomeng Kingdom, they took advantage of the time when Imakawa Zanere and Luo's family were scattering money to recruit soldiers in the Tomeng Kingdom, but they didn't want to be selected to prepare soldiers. This time, after the Tomeng Imakawa family unified the Imakawa family, they naturally took advantage of the opportunity to go home on vacation and naturally showed off and said how powerful the Imakawa family was. As a result, the samurai of the Geshan family was beaten to death by the crowd.
"Lord, this is an opportunity. If you can't catch it, you will suffer." Military advisor Kanasuke Yamamoto stood up and incited.
"What the military advisor said is reasonable, fight! Lord." Bai Wuxianjian also said.
"Yes, we took the opportunity to send troops to completely occupy the Higasuka area." Cheng Song Nobuka also said.
"Fight!"
Zhengliang saw that his retainers were full of fighting spirit and said satisfied: "It is necessary to fight, but we must be famous in the army, and use the Tao to fight the Tao. Xuanyi."
"The minister is here." Maeda Kyū immediately took the order. As he continued to gain the trust of the Luo family, Maeda Kyū was nominally a retainer of the Imakawa family, but in fact he was already a retainer of the Luo family.
"Prepare a paper to ask why Geshan Shi Guang wanted to kill the warrior of his family, ask him to hand over the murderer, and come to Junfu City in person to apologize." Geshan Shi Guang was the governor of the Geshan family.
"yes"
After the questioning was issued from Junfu Castle, Masara issued a convening order. After the retainers took the order, Masarara specifically left Yamamoto Katsusuke and ordered him to spread some rumors in Dongfu Palace. The Katsuyama family had already united with the Takeda family to become independent.
The messenger who sent the questioning letter returned soon. Hiroshi Katsuyama refused the request in anger and took the opportunity to publicize that the Tomeng Imagawa family was using the excuse to understand the retainers of the Suruga Imagawa family. Since the retreat, it has caused the wealthy families of the Suruga Imagawa family to unite to resist the newly unified Imagawa family.
