Chapter 34 The surprise attack on Shimada Castle

After that, according to the information of Yamachi Ichito and Arima Toshi, in the next three days, Hideopo joined forces with the military forces of Kagawa, Yokosuka and the Hideyoshi family to confiscate the territory of the local tyrants in the name of punishing the Kaga Zao family, which greatly damaged the interests of the Torokawa family headed by Toroe Nakata family and Arutoshi Omori family, and forced them to take action to change this situation.

Two days after the Kagawa Conference, Hideopo ordered Yamauchi Ichito and the newly surrendered Higashitori tribes to send troops to defeat the powerful Kashima clan of Hakoharahara County, Oikawa, and occupied Saira Castle as a bridgehead for interfering with Suruga.

Knowing that the land passage between Toho and Suruga was blocked, Nakata's master, Nakata Toshima, could not sit still and wait for death. On the one hand, he sent a messenger to ask for help from Omorijinaga of Suruga, and on the other hand, he tried to incite Higashi Toho Ikki to fight against Hideopo. However, neither of these two strategies was successful. On the day of the demise of Koh Kono, Arima Toshiro, the Arima Toshiro, joined forces with the nobles to encircle the Nakata's ability, Nakata's ability, and all the messengers sent were captured. These messages also became an excellent excuse for Hideopo to interfere in the Suruga affairs. As for inciting Ikki, it was even more stupendous. As for inciting Ikki, the Tohoku family who were pro-Tohokawa was corrected by Hideopo. The remaining ones were either neutral or pro-Hideoyoshi, how could they work for him? Even the retainers who incited Ikki that he sent were captured by the local nobles and handed over to the Arima Toshiro family.

Seeing that his plan was completely bankrupt, Nakada Shimasato had no other choice but to defend Gucheng, but Hideopo didn't even give him the chance to defend the city. On the day of the siege, he ordered a forcibly siege. After only two hours of the battle, the city was captured. Nakada Shimasato committed suicide by separatist. In order to sound the alarm bell for the Torii family, more than 500 people from Nakada Shimasato were massacred. On the second day of the incident, more than 20 Torii family, including the Ini family of Iniya, submitted affidavits to Yamauchi and sent hostages. At this point, the riots of the Torii country were basically pacified.

In fact, after Ieyasu retreated to Kanto, he secretly appointed the three major banners of Kagata Tadasuma, Nakada Shimasato and Omori-ji Nakazo. Now the Kagata family, the Kagata family of Hiroshiro, the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and the Kagata family of Hiroshiro and

Among the three banners, the most domineering one is Omoriji, who only has more than ten thousand stones of knowledge and practice, but he does not take the Suruga General Agent Kazumi Nakamura seriously. When the Nakamura family was transferred to the capital, he led some of the wealthy families of Suruga and Higashi Tomeng to intercept the Nakamura family's ceremonial guards in the Hanazawa area, and threatened the Nakamura family, who had not yet entered the country to sign the "Junsu Laws", gaining great autonomy. Later, he often relied on the behind-the-scenes support of the Tokugawa family to incite Ikki to fight against the new Daming. Nakamura Ikki was afraid of being a gambler and could only swallow his anger and let him form a gang in the Suruga Kingdom. Even his fiefdoms, many areas have been included in the sphere of influence of the Suruga people, and it seems that they have formed a situation of competing with him.

On January 12, the second day after Nakada Castle fell into the castle, Omori Omori issued a mobilization order to the entire Suruga family, requiring all the tyrants to lead the internal army to defend Oikawa to prevent the Hidebo coalition from crossing the river. To this end, he ordered Iwamoto and the Shibukawa family to advance to the left bank of Oikawa and enter the Maikawa village in the Maikawa platform area, and set up his own formation in Shita Castle in the right bank of Shita Plain.

Perhaps it was Hideo's previous tough attitude that played a role. Many wealthy families in Nishisuga ignored the convening of the Omori family, and some even sent people to Kagawa Castle to express their surrender to Hideo. Therefore, when Omoriji Nagata was ready, he found that the army he had gathered was less than 30% of the number of people he had conquered in the village that year, with only more than 1,800 people.

At the same time, Hideopo gathered nearly 5,000 troops mainly composed of the Yamauchi family, and set up its own formation in Saira Castle southeast of Matsunono, waiting for the opportunity to cross the river.

On January 15, a coalition army composed of Arima Feng clan and Tojiang tribes fired the first shot of the battle. With the high morale of destroying the Nakata clan, a three thousand army conquered Matsunonozhai, which had only 500 foot garrisons in less than an hour. As the general of the defending city, the Suruga tribe Iwamoto Domori was conquered. Shirakawa Rai led twelve cavalry back to Shimada Castle. In this battle, the forces of the Omori clan were completely driven back to Suruga.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Omori Omori forced the Nakamura Ichi's family in Junfu Castle to mediate. On the evening of the 16th, Okura, the Nakamura family's family, was able to take more than ten samurai to go south through Shimada Castle Shun Oichuan to visit Hideopo.

The reason why Nakamura Ichi's family is willing to mediate is that there are many threats from Omoriji Nagata, but the most important thing is to consider its own interests. Just imagine, if the Suruga family led by Omori family is flattened by Hideopo, then it will anger Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is behind the scenes. This is not what Nakamura wants to see; on the contrary, if the remaining flag head is kept for Ieyasu, not only Omoriji Nagata will follow him wholeheartedly, but even Tokugawa Ieyasu will appreciate him. At that time, he will naturally be able to get along with everyone and become a new title.

In fact, the official journey of the Nakamura Ichi family can be described as a success. Before Honnoji, he became Hideyoshi's retainer. With Hideyoshi's success, his fiefdoms continued to increase, especially after Odawara's conquest, he received a reward of 145,000 stones for Shizuki and became Hideyoshi's general representative in Suruga. But what is infuriating is that although he died before Seihara, he instructed his legitimate son to join the East Army before his death. Therefore, after the war, the Nakamura clan received a title of 175,000 stones for Bojimiko.

After roughly knowing the purpose of Okura Masato, Hideopo recruited him into the Imperial Palace. After Okura sat down, Hideopo asked Xiao to serve him a tea table, pointing to the steaming teacup, and said, "My Lord Kokura has lived in Suruga for a long time. I guess he has never tasted this specialty Jinya tea from Farcity?"

Kokura picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded to Xiubao: "The Jingu tea in Yuanzhou is very famous. Today, thanks to His Highness's kindness, I am fortunate to be able to taste it. It is really a blessing for humble duties." Xiubao continued with a smile: "This is indeed my credit. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid the origin of this Jingu tea would still be in the hands of the Nakata family."

Seeing that Masato Okura did not understand his meaning, Hideopo continued: "I heard that the roads of Fushimahara and Kamatsu in Junzhou are very magnificent. I am also trying to follow the example of the Westward Master of the past to experience this rare scenic spot in the eastern country. I wonder if there is a chance?"

After hearing this, Masato Okura hurriedly replied: "As long as your highness wants to see, how come there is no chance? It's just... This Fushimahara is the territory of the Azumi family, and the Kamatsu Road is owned by the Omori family for generations. As long as your highness is willing to reach harmony with these two families, the humble duty guarantees that they will come to welcome your highness to enjoy the beautiful scenery in person..."

"Do I need their consent to see these?" Xiubao suddenly interrupted Xiaokura's words, stood up quickly, walked to him quickly, and said sternly: "Mr. Kokura, I have made up my mind to kill the Omori clan. If you can follow my arrangements, you can save your life without worries. Otherwise, you will be ready to bury them for them." Xiaokura was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, tremblingly worshipped under Xiubao's feet, and replied tremblingly: "Weizhi is just here to mediate on the order of my master. There is no intention of disobeying Your Highness. What does Your Highness have to order Beizhi to do as he wants, and I will ask Your Highness to spare Beizhi's life."

Xiubao nodded coldly, shouted outside the door, "Look close, I'll leave the rest to you" and went back to the room to rest.

Half an hour later, Masaino Okura returned to Shimada Castle listlessly. When he arrived at the city, he found that the gate was closed, so Kokura shouted to the guards: "I am Masaino Okura, the old family of Nakamura. I just came back from Saera Castle. I quickly opened the gate and let us wait in." The samurai on the castle saw that he was the messenger sent to Hidebori's office to mediate. While ordering to open the gate, he asked excitedly: "I dare to ask His Highness Kokura, what is the result of the mediation?"

Okura Masato said as he entered the door, "Of course it's successful, His Highness is still very reasonable." After hearing this, Zunqing, who opened the door, patted his chest and said, "It's great, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief...ah!"

Before he could finish speaking the word "qi", he fell under the sword of a accompanying samurai. Before the warriors under the city could understand, they were killed by more than ten warriors around Kokura one by one. I felt that something was wrong. The warriors on the city hurried down to the city to check the truth, and then they found that it was an enemy attack.

The samurai who took the lead was Nasushiki. These more than ten people were the most powerful horses around Hideopo. This time, he was determined to die and wanted to buy time for the rear troops.

How could the peasant soldiers in the hands of these wealthy clans be their opponents? The bodies kept accumulating at the city gate, but as time went by, these people gradually lost their energy, and two people had been challenged by the enemy peasant soldiers.
