Chapter 275 9. Race Against Time to Find a Fighting Opportunity

"Your Excellency, Kiyono Daishin, has stayed as a guest in our army because he admires the might of our Yamanouchi army."

The Yamanouchi envoy said this lightly, stood up lightly, and left the main camp of Murakami Yoshikiyo on Chausu Mountain.

Murakami Yoshikiyo's face was stern, and his face changed, showing an angry red. When the blue veins on his temples were swollen and bulging one by one, they were particularly bright.

With a "snap", the horse staff decorated with leather and painted, and wrapped with gold foil was broken by Murakami Yoshikiyo.

I don't know who took a breath of cold air after seeing Murakami Yoshikiyo's rage.

But this just stimulated Murakami Yoshikiyo, who was already extremely angry, and he stepped on the originally precious horse staff. With continuous force on his feet, the hardwood horse staff was half concave and sank into the mud.

"Immediately send out orders to arrest the entire family of Kiyono Daishin!" Murakami Yoshikiyo shouted angrily.

"Your Highness, you must not do this, you must not do this!" The old man of the Bito family, Yashiro Masakuni, immediately stood up to stop the attendant who was about to pass on the order.

"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, how can we lose our composure? Kiyono Daishin has been serving the country for generations and is loyal. He will never surrender to Prime Minister Yamanouchi. He must have been detained in the Yamanouchi army to disturb your Highness!"

"The disaster of the three armies begins with suspicion! Your Highness, please do not act too hastily and fall into Prime Minister Yamanouchi's trap!"

Yashiro Masakuni is familiar with Kiyono Kiyohide, who is much older than himself. He has been working with your Murakami family for 30 years. If he had second thoughts, he would have done it long ago. As for now, when his son, grandson, wife and family are all in the hands of Murakami Yoshikiyo, he is eager to surrender to Yamanouchi Yoshiharu!

Rakuganji Masakata and Inoue Hidefusa also came out to persuade him immediately. This is not a joke.

Kiyono Kiyohide brought hundreds of people with him. If his son and grandson are captured now, these hundreds of people will immediately become chaotic.

What kind of person is Uesugi Terutora on the opposite side? He seized the opportunity and rushed forward! Everyone is waiting for the end!

At this time, even if Kiyono Kiyohide really surrendered to the enemy, we must believe that he did not surrender. Not only that, we must also give him generous rewards to win over his son and let them continue to serve.

"If your highness is really worried, you can let the Kiyono team cooperate with the Nobushi team. It can increase the combat effectiveness of Nobushi and others, and avoid rushing to the central army in case of any incident."

Rakuganji Masakata suggested that the Kiyono team could be pulled to cooperate with the more than 2,000 Kita Shin Ikko Ikki Army. Anyway, Murakami Yoshikiyo deliberately let them stand alone because of their low combat effectiveness.

No matter what happens to these monk soldiers Nobushi Ikki, it will not affect the 12,000 people in Murakami Yoshikiyo's team.

In this way, whether Kiyono Kiyohide rebels or not, it is a foolproof plan.

If you really betrayed, I will have time to deal with you after the war. If you didn't betray, I will call it trust in your Seino clan and send more than 2,000 troops to your family. What a trust!

"Hmph, let's do it this way!" Murakami Yoshikiyo is not a really foolish warrior. His anger subsided after his retainers said something.

Yamanouchi Yoshiharu is a typical old shaman. Takeda Harunobu has suffered from his black hands. Murakami Yoshikiyo also woke up at this time.

"Where is Takeda Daizen?" Murakami Yoshikiyo finally sat down and asked about the business he was most concerned about.

"According to the calculation and the previous report, Takeda Daizen of Kai should have reached Kaizudaira!"

"Kaizudaira? Bring the map." Murakami Yoshikiyo asked.

Yashiro Masakuni stood up and pointed for him. Kaizudaira was on the street in the north country, only five miles away from Murakami Yoshikiyo's main camp Chausuyama.

"So, at the latest, the 14,000 soldiers of the Armored Army will arrive at noon tomorrow?"

Murakami Yoshikiyo tapped the table with his hands, muttering "Noon tomorrow! Noon tomorrow!"

"The army of Prime Minister Yamanouchi will arrive at Kawanakajima at the earliest, right?"

Murakami Yoshikiyo said this to himself, not just a question but also a confirmation.

"According to what the Yamanouchi envoy said just now, it is indeed true. It will take two days to reach Kawanakajima from Fukashi Castle."

"Subtracting the time, it should arrive at dusk tomorrow!" Yashiro Masakuni calculated in his head. Then he analyzed the time when Rakuganji Shobori fled back and the time when the Yamanouchi envoy rushed to the scene, which was not much different.

"So at noon tomorrow, Kasugayama Kanrei will only have 11,000 soldiers, and our army will have 28,000 soldiers, is that right or not?" Murakami Yoshikiyo already understood it in his heart.

"Yes, Prime Minister Yamanouchi's 23,000 troops will not be able to catch up with the decisive battle at noon tomorrow!"

How could Yashiro Masakuni not know what Murakami Yoshikiyo was thinking? If he couldn't understand this, how could he be the head of Murakami Yoshikiyo's family and how could he firmly grasp the power of the Murakami family.

All the generals of Murakami understood, and Murakami Yoshikiyo prepared to encircle with Takeda Harunobu on both sides, and first devour the 11,000 troops of the coalition forces of Uesugi Terutora and Takanari Masayasu.

As long as Uesugi Terutora was defeated, with the power of a great victory, even if Yamanouchi Yoshiharu's 23,000 troops arrived at the battlefield in the evening, they could still take advantage of the victory to attack.

At that time, if Yamanouchi Yoshiharu was sensible, he should retreat to Fukashi Castle and digest the two counties of Azumi and Chikuma that he had already occupied. He would never attack the Murakami Takeda coalition forces that were in full swing, but would only retreat slowly.

Then all that was left for Murakami Yoshikiyo was to take advantage of the victory to completely kill Takanari Masayasu and seize Minouchi and Takai counties. Even breaking into Echigo Kasugayama is possible.

"Ochan is on a mission to inform Takeda Ochan of our army's decision. He is requested to directly enter the Hachimanhara alms site tomorrow and directly attack the Kasugayama leader from the right wing. By then, our army will attack from the left wing, and we must win in one battle!"

Terutora Uesugi, who stood on the edge of the Saikawa River, suddenly felt a hint of war.

"Yamato Mamoru, what's the defensive movement of the opposite Murasaki today?"

"Your Highness, today Prime Minister Yamauchi and Kai Taisen have envoys entering the Murakami camp. However, Murakami has more envoys contacting Takeda today. We just observed that another envoy went south." Naoe Keizuna fully fulfilled the role of a chief of staff. Responsibilities.

"How far is the Yamauchi Prime Minister's headquarters from Kawanaka Island?" "It's a day's journey at most, and we'll arrive tomorrow night!"

"Tomorrow night?" Terutora Uesugi stood up and walked slowly around the shogunate.

Sitting around were Kakizaki Keie, Yoshie Keizi, Shida Yishi, Yamamotoji Sadinaga and others, their eyes following the figure of Uesugi Terutora.

"Ochiai Yusan! Ochiai Yusan!" Terutora Uesugi loudly summoned a samurai of the Ochiai clan from the local temple community in Kawanakajima.

After a while, this person came.

"Yusan, let me ask you, will there be continuous thick fog on Hachimangahara tomorrow morning?"
