The eyes turned back to Hokuriku on the third day of April, the same day when Amano Motomasa arrived in Fushimi, Maeda Tatsumasa led an army of 20,000 from Kanazawa Castle. Because Komatsu Castle is strong and difficult to capture, Maeda's army deliberately took a detour and set up a formation in Matsuyama Castle on the fifth day of April, intending to attack the Gucheng Dasheng Temple, and then cut off the connection between Echizen and Ninoha Nagashi and forced the Ninoha family to surrender. The lord of the Dasheng Temple, Yamaguchi Masahiro, was anxiously waiting for the rescue of Komatsu Castle Lord Ninoha Nagashi, but no military force came except for the first two thousand reinforcements.

The next day, Maeda Tamasa sent Kyuri Kyuro's army to the envoy, and Murai Hirosaemon advised the subjugation of the Dashengji Castle. Yamaguchi's father and son who were guarding the city refused immediately. Rinaga had no choice but to attack the city. Yamaguchi Masahiro's son Ukyo Ryosukehiro set up an ambush on the way, but was discovered by Yamasaki Nagato, the pioneer of the Maeda Army, and the curtain of the battle was opened.

After Yamazaki Nagato launched an attack, Nagari Ryu quickly joined the battle, and a fierce battle began. During the battle, Yamaguchi Shuhiro improperly commanded and was dismantled by the Maeda Army's iron artillery troops. He had to retreat into the city after losing nearly a thousand troops. The ambush battle also turned into a siege battle.

At first, the Dasheng Temple defenders were not afraid in front of the Maeda army and were quite resolute and tenacious in combat. However, the Maeda soldiers were numerous and powerful, and compared with the high morale of the defenders, they still had an advantage. Who can withstand the 20,000 to 3,000?

Three days after the strong attack, Yamaguchi Masahiro had no choice but to express his willingness to surrender on Takaya, but Masada Tatsumasaki flatly refused on the grounds that he had "not surrendered as soon as possible". At noon that day, Masada's army invaded the city. Yamaguchi Yushuo, who was responsible for Uemaru's defense, fought to the death. Yamaguchi Yushuo signed up in front of Yamasaki Nagato formation and then took his sword to commit suicide. Yamaguchi Masahiro was unwilling to accept it and only broke himself until the next morning after the Honmaru was broken. Since then, the Dashengji Castle has been attacked. The remains of Yamaguchi's father and son were buried by Masada Tatsumasaki on the side of Fukuda Bridge at the foot of the castle, and the stone tablet was passed down; Yamaguchi Masahiro's second son Yamaguchi Hiroshita escaped from the sky, and under the escort of several retainers, he went to Oei Sa and Yamaguchi to seek the protection of Ishida Mizuna.

After that, Maeda Tamasaki's view that Ekimasaki is weak, so he changed his plan to go south to invade Ekimasaki. The lord of Maruoka Castle Aoyama Sokati hastily responded. On April 12, Aoyama Sokata was out of ammunition and food and was forced to ask for peace from the Maeda army. Maeda Tamasaki took a short rest in the city and prepared to take down Katsuyama Castle, Nagamasaki, the younger brother of Ninoha Nagashige, in one fell swoop. As long as Katsuyama is captured, he can meet with Oda Hideo of Ono County and connect with Mino's Hideno Oda, and then join forces with Ottoyama Castle to separate and encircle Nishi Mino and Hirooki Ori River, thereby annihilated the little daime who is pro-Tokugawa in the area one by one.

However, just when the war was going well, Maeda Tamasa suddenly received an urgent report. When he learned that Fushimi had fallen, Maori's army was advancing to Ogasawara. Takakiyoshi Ogasawara asked for quick support. In desperation, Maeda Tamasasa had to hand over the task of attacking the victory of Yamasasa to Oda Hideo, and he led 20,000 soldiers southward and marched into Kitani along the Hokuriku Road.

However, the rain broke out and the army had not yet arrived at Kitano Castle, but received an urgent report from Kanazawa Castle, saying that Nibashi had sent troops to attack Kanazawa on April 13th, and the defense in Kanazawa Castle was empty and difficult to resist. This sudden military situation put Maeda Tamashima in a dilemma. It was to go south to support Otoyama and fight against the Maori army to pacify Kinanai, or return to Kaga to eliminate the Tanyu family first and then go south. Maeda Tamashimashi, who was in Echizen, was unable to make up for the time being, and delayed for two days. Finally, Maeda Tamashimashimashi was struggling with the efforts of the elder Lian Ryu at home.

From the seventh day of April, when I received a letter of help from Yamaguchi and his son to the thirteenth day of April, it took six days to send troops again. Komatsu Castle was not far from Dasheng Temple, and it only took a day and a half to march. However, the Danyu family gave up their original intention of supporting Dasheng Temple and allowed Yamaguchi and his son to commit suicide. Aoyama Sectaki Kaichi surrendered. This was because of the efforts to protect themselves, but in fact it was caused by differences in the family between Nishiha.

In order to restore the family business, Ninoha Nagashi was gambled on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Although he received support from the Danyu clan, he was opposed by the elders led by Eguchi Masayoshi. The elders believed that it was difficult to have the power to shake the Toyotomi clan today. The mighty 150,000 Aizin attacking army proved that no matter how strong the inner palace was, it would be at most 80,000 troops. In addition, Uesugi's army was less than 110,000, and Uesugi Kita was the best. Ida was eyeing him, and there were powerful daimyos around him, such as Uezumi, Pusu, Ikeda, and Asano. The military power of these daimyos was not included in the 150,000 people. In other words, the entire Kanto was Tokugawa and Uesugi's 100,000 people against nearly 200,000 people led by Hideomo, who had the name of Oi. The result can be imagined.

Even if the Nishiba clan formed a confrontation between the Hokuriku and the Maeda army, it would not affect the overall situation in Kanto. If the Tokugawa Uesugi family is destroyed, Hideo would turn around and erase the Nishiba clan from Japan. Compared with Tokugawa Ieyasu's promise, wouldn't it be more practical to preserve the family name?

However, the Tokugawa Sect's pro-Tokugawa Sect disagreed with the advice of the elders. He said to the Nagashiki, "The inner government has informed the family that some of the Daming of the Right Prefecture's siege have secretly reached a tacit understanding with the inner government. Once the war begins, these Daming will turn against each other when the siege will be in chaos. The inner government and Aizu Nagashi can take the opportunity to break into the army and directly take the head of the Right Prefecture. Capturing the thief first captures Wang Youfu. Aihe people are still surrendered? Besides, now An Yizhong Nagashi has gone to Luo, and Fushimi has been captured. As long as you can hold up the Maeda army and buy time for the Maori army, you can connect with Nishimino when you take down Yudongshan Castle. By then, our army will be passive and dominating Hokuriku is just around the corner!"

"Capture the king first?" Zhengyu Jiangkou sneered, "Who can you approach the five colors of protection beside the right mansion? It is too naive to be guarded by the Central Government."

Nagata Nishiba originally wanted to argue with him, but was scolded by Nagata Nishiba. Nagata thought for a long time and said calmly: "Kanto will be a death battle no matter what, but my family has agreed to the Tokugawa family. If Tokugawa is defeated in the end, even if the troops are not sent, my family will not be able to escape. Besides, I have sent two thousand troops to the Dasheng Temple, proving my attitude. This road... can no longer turn back." Speaking of this, everyone present was silent. Yes, I regret not being able to be in the beginning. Even if I remain neutral, I would not worry about the future of the Nishiba family. Now that the arrow is on the string, I have to fire. I can only fight to the death and buy time for the Maori army. Maybe there is a chance of winning.
