The Anayama family and the Oyamada family are semi-independent forces among the Kai people, and they are not willing to go on an expedition to the north.
This time the Kai clan suffered heavy losses. Because they belonged to the kinship line, they did not suffer much losses on the left wing. And because Takeda Nobushige died in battle, their voice among the clan increased greatly.
Takeda Nobuyan did not see how difficult Shiba Yoshigan was, so they fully supported Takeda Noburen.
On the surface, this seems to be a sign of unity among the Takeda clan, but behind it is a hidden evil intention.
No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, it will make no difference to them. These two families are far south of Kai and are alienated from Beishin, so they will not get much benefit.
The retainers on both sides suffered heavy losses and were definitely unwilling to fight again. The focus of the peace talks between the two sides was on the division of Beixin.
They strongly demand the best interests.
If the negotiation results in good results, it is due to their suggestions. If the negotiation is not good, it means that the supervisor is incompetent and a great opportunity is wasted.
No matter what the outcome is, the prestige of the two families in the Takeda Ichi clan will increase, and Takeda Harunobu will be damaged.
What's even more disgusting is that on the surface they are supporting Nobuyoshi Takeda.
Even if Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Noburen, the leader of the family, tell the truth, Takeda Noburen would not be able to reprimand them.
Because this will make a group of people mistakenly think that she does not know what is good and does not protect her supporters.
Takeda Harunobu knew that she could not deal with the two families for the time being. Her control over the Takeda family was greatly reduced due to the brutal battle of Kawanakajima.
But she knew in her heart that she must not allow these two families to continue to cooperate and must break up their alliance.
Takeda Haru sneered in confidence.
After the war between the Takeda family and the Uesugi family in Kawanakajima, the retainers of both sides had reached a consensus that the other party should not be messed with.
The Takeda family's strategy must inevitably change.
The Anayama family coveted the Imagawa family's territory, while the Oyamada family had a close relationship with the Hojo family because they served as the Takeda family's negotiators against the Hojo family.
Takeda Harunobu is looking forward to it.
Once he decides to go south and the alliance between Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo breaks down, can these two families still maintain their current tacit understanding?
The Anayama family supports the crusade against the Imagawa family. Will the Oyamada family dare to oppose it in order to maintain their alliance with the Hojo family? It is really exciting.
Takeda Harunobu clapped his hands and signaled Anayayama Nobu-kun to stay calm.
She did not refute it directly, but turned to ask Yukitaka Sanada for his opinion.
"Sanada-sama, what do you think?"
Sanada Yukitaka glanced at Suwa and Kiso, who were looking at her, and waited for the various Shinanos, and then said.
"The General has been very supportive of His Highness Uesugi and recognized her as inheriting the Yamauchi Uesugi family and becoming the governor of Kanto.
They even sent the imperial office to Kanto to serve as their platform. The target must be the Hojo family on the Kanto plain. This was a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
The Kawanakajima Plain and Nishi Ueno are the Uesugi family's bottom line, and the Odaisho will never let go."
The Shinano people did not want to continue the war. Although they formed an ambush team in the last battle, they joined the battlefield at the end and did not have a head-on fight with the Uesugi army.
However, the loss of the Kai clan has already made the Shinano people who had taken refuge with the Takeda family feel fearful.
When the Takeda family took over Hokushin's Murakami family territory, they also distributed the profits to the Kai family. As the leading party, the Shinano genkai family did not receive any benefits.
These Shinano forces have no interest in Beishin. Anyway, if the Takeda family conquers this place, it will not be their turn to enjoy the benefits here.
Takeda Harunobu named Yukitaka Sanada, but she simply acted cunningly and did not say her attitude to avoid offending others.
On the other hand, it also pointed out the bottom line of Shiba Yiyin and showed his value in front of Takeda Harunobu.
After hearing her words, Takeda Harunobu couldn't help but nodded and lowered his head in thought.
As Yukitaka Sanada said, the bottom line for Shiba Yiyin should be the Kawanakajima Plain and Nishi Ueno.
Nishi Ueno is related to the passage of Echigo south to the Kanto Plain, and its importance is self-evident. Uesugi Teruhora will never let the Takeda family expand in this direction.
The ownership of the Kawanakajima Plain is also related to the security of the Takata Plain, the core base of the Echigo-Uesugi family.
Shinano four areas.
Minamishin is mountainous, while Toshin is horse ranching land. Only the Suwa Basin in CITIC and the Nagano Basin in Hokushin have large-scale plain farming.
The most important thing in marching and fighting is logistics, especially the rugged roads in the Shinano Mountains, which consume even more materials transportation.
The Takeda family swallowed up the Suwa Basin, and then they had ample logistical resources to radiate throughout Shinano.
If Takeda Harunobu is allowed to capture the Nagano Basin, her logistics line can continue to be lengthened and she can move north to attack Echigo.
The core agricultural area of the Nagano Basin is the Kawanakajima Plain. The Chikuma River runs all the way north directly through the Echigo Mountains and becomes the Shinano River into the sea. The two places are closely related.
By dispatching troops from Kawanaka Island, the Takeda family could rely on water transportation, which would reduce the logistical pressure and pose a great threat to the heart of Echigo.
As long as Takeda Harunobu does not give up his ambition for the Kawanakajima Plain, the Uesugi-Takeda family will not be able to reach peace.
There are so many betrayals of the Takeda family, how dare Uesugi Terutora expose his belly to Takeda Harunobu, betting that she won't stab him with a knife.
Therefore, if the Takeda family does not give up the strategy of Kawanakajima and Nishi Ueno, the two families will fight again sooner or later.
Even if Yoshigan Shiba is trapped and has no choice but to agree to compromise. After he returns, Uesugi Teruhora will still accumulate strength, tear up the contract and fight Kawanakajima again.
Yukitaka Sanada has made it very clear about the balance point for the peace negotiations between the two parties.
If Takeda Harunobu wants true peace, then abandon these two places. If he wants false peace, then forcefully negotiate to take over Kawanaka Island, assemble the army and fight again.
Yukitaka Sanada also used this to test Takeda Harunobu's mind to see if the Takeda family governor had any thoughts on a strategic change.
Takeda Harunobu himself knew best that the strategy of advancing northward had failed.
Uesugi Teruhora was a tough guy, and with the help of Shiba Yoshigan, continuing the Northern Expedition would be a long-term tug-of-war, but Takeda Harunobu couldn't afford it.
After losing Takeda Nobushige, Takeda Harunobu's control over the Takeda family decreased, and the Takeda retainers group's tolerance threshold for the family governor was far lower than before.
If Takeda Harunobu insists on the strategy of advancing northward and takes advantage of Echigo, there is a high probability that the Takeda retainers will cause trouble.
Kawanakajima cannot be fought. If such a loss happens again, the Takeda retainers will definitely rebel, and Takeda Harunobu will die without a burial place.
Since Echigo cannot be conquered, Kawanaka Island and Nishi Ueno become useless.
Instead of attacking Echigo, the Takeda family held these two places, which were also the targets of the Uesugi family, to prevent disaster for the Hojo family in the Kanto Plain behind them.
Takeda Harunobu would only make wedding clothes for the Hojo family if he was out of his mind. It would be better to use the opportunity of Yoshigan Shiba being captured to negotiate some benefits.
The Takeda family's strategic shift can only go in one direction, and that is the wealthy Imagawa family.
Imagawa Yoshimoto controlled the Imagawa family business for many years, conquered the three Tokaido territorial kingdoms of Suruga, Ene, and Mikawa, and opened up the Tokaido trade route.
Although after her death, her daughter Imagawa, who inherited the family business, really could not control the Three Kingdoms.
However, the Imagawa family's base, Suruga Country, and the capital of the Imagawa family, Suruga Castle, have accumulated wealth for many years, which is coveted.
The Imagawa family's civil strife continues, and it is the weak persimmon used by the Takeda family to regain blood after suffering heavy losses.
Terutora Uesugi and Yoshigan Shiba must also hope that the Takeda family will turn south and destroy the alliance of Takeda, Hojo, and Imagawa.
To the west of the Hojo family is the territory of the Imagawa and Takeda families. If these two families fight, can her family focus on dealing with the Kanto Plain to the east?
The Uesugi family entered from the Ueno Kingdom in the north and directly attacked the new territory from the east that the Hojo family had not had time to digest.
It is in the Uesugi family's interest for the Takeda family to move south and attract the attention of the Hojo family to the west.
Takeda Harunobu is confident that Shiba Yoshigan will offer enough benefits to buy him off.
