The ninth and thirtieth chapters feel disadvantaged
Daxiong Chaoxiu’s proposal is actually very wicked.
The Numata retainers 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's attitude.
Okuma Asahide proposed that Sanada Nobunaga intercept the Hojo heirs, 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 someone off quickly, they have to take the waterway, that is, go north along the Tone River. Along the way, they pass through Umbashi Castle, Sosha Castle, Shirai Castle, and finally Numata Castle.
Sanada Nobushige occupied Azuma County, and if she wanted to arrest someone, the shortest route would be to start from the Takayama 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 Castle is still secretly helping the Hojo family.
The two cities of Shirai Headquarters are stuck between the two cities of Numata and Ubashi. 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, what would happen? Should Terutora Uesugi say hello to the Shirai Nagao family in advance?
Is Ohuma Asahide making it difficult for Terutora 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 internal strife. With Numata Kenyasu stepping in to divide her family, her family would be weak against the Echigo army.
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.
Uesugi Teruhu glanced at Ohuma Asahide again and sneered. Uesugi Keishin had put in a lot of effort to win over the two Nagaos of Shirai Headquarters, but Ohkuma Asahide's strategy was really a slap in the face.
Yoshigage Shiba sighed secretly, and couldn't make it too difficult for Terutora Uesugi. She wouldn't resent Yoshigan, but she would resent Ohuma Chaohide. She would turn around and kill this right-hand man for causing trouble. But what should he do?
Daxiong Chaoxiu is also true. She has always been cautious. Why did she come out to talk about this today?
Yiyin coughed lightly and said.
"Hojo Ujiyasu can't keep 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.
It will take up to ten days for Kawada Nagauchi to arrive at Sakado Castle, and it will take up to twenty days for her to 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?"
Teru Uesugi's face looked better and he nodded.
"Gong Qianxin is well versed in military strategy, and his words are very reasonable."
Big Bear kowtowed to Chaoxiu and said.
"The imperial court is wise.
In this case, there is no need for Sanada Nobushige to intercept the people, but to coordinate with Kawada Nagachichi to capture Numata Castle as soon as possible.
If we delay for too long, the Numata retainers will be 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 mention opening the window, then ask to poke the roof first. If she is prevented from poking the roof, she will be easily passed if she mentions opening the window again.
Previously, Yoshigan Shiba had agreed that Nagauchi Kawada, a samurai family from the Uesugi clan, would be responsible for the strategy of Numata County. Since the two sides had reached a compromise, it was inconvenient for anyone to come in and mess with it.
But knowing that Sanada Nobunshige 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 talk about what 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 Hojo’s heir first. Uesugi Terutora was unhappy and Yoshihiro Shiba tried to smooth things over. Then we proposed that Sanada Nobunshige be the one to 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 attack Naikou Castle from behind to reduce the pressure on Kawada Nagauchi 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 to the north of Numata Castle. Without removing the name Kurumi Castle, Kawada Nagauchi will not be able to continue southward, threatening Numata Castle.
As for the Azuma County occupied by Sanada Nobushige, she can march directly eastward from Takayama Village and invade the Numata Basin. Why should she go north to the famous Walnut Castle? Is it a stepping stone for Kawada Nagauchi?
The best military strategy is to use Kawada Nagauchi's military strength to attract the Numata family's troops in front of Kurumi Castle. Sanada Nobushige then takes advantage of the situation and breaks out of Takayama Village to capture the empty Numata Castle.
This strategy was not in the interest of the Uesugi family, and it was difficult for Uesugi Teruhora to speak. Naoe Keizuna stepped in to confuse right and wrong, and asked Sanada Nobunshige to go north to attack the famous Kurumi Castle and help Kawada Chouchi pull out the nail.
Da Xiong Chao Xiu snorted coldly, and was about to refute Naoe Keizuna's suggestion when he heard Shiba Yoshigami slap his palm on the document, making a loud noise.
He snapped at Da Xiong Chao Xiu.
"That's it!
Order Sanada Nobunshige 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.
Terutora Uesugi on the side felt warm when he saw Yoshigoshi Shiba getting angry. After all, he was still facing me and did not let the people below him embarrass me.
So, Terutora Uesugi said.
"Just do it.
After taking the name of Walnut Castle and letting the Sanada troops send troops to garrison it, Kawada Nagauchi will continue to go south and take Numata Castle directly."
Yoshigan Shiba has good intentions, and Terutora Uesugi will certainly not make it difficult for his sweetheart. If Numata Castle can't give it to him, then he will set up a Walnut Castle to help Yoshigan Shiba appease the Kanto Palace.
Terutora Uesugi sneered in his heart, the samurai families at 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 that this would not be easy, but she was not afraid.
Uesugi Teruhora prides himself on his military talent, and will definitely capture the Kanto Plain as a betrothal gift. And with Shiba Yoshigan's affection for him, the samurai family of the Kanto Palace will not be able to stir up trouble, and will sooner or later obey the overall situation.
The four people fought openly and secretly, and finally settled on a barely acceptable plan. Uesugi's faction got Numata Castle, and Shiba's faction got the name Walnut Castle.
The two masters were very tired of coordinating the balance between the two factions. Daxiong Chaohide 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 Nobunaga would be when she heard the news. Her original goal was to be named Walnut Castle.
Even if Numata Castle is given to the Shiba clan, Sanada Nobushige's weight is too light for her to hold, and Shiba Yoshigan will definitely send someone else to take charge here.
Although the famous Kurumi 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 live there.
For Sanada Nobunaga, 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!
