The war was rising and the army was in a hurry. Fortunately, the Imakawa family in Toei Kingdom had already prepared something, so Imakawa Jungre immediately issued a mobilization order in Yinma Castle under the command of Noburo Luo, calling on the surrendered tyrants to immediately rush to Suwahara Castle on the west bank of Oi River at the junction of Toei Kingdom and Suruga Kingdom to gather. △↗

Luo's Nobura also had a serious face. He had previously stared at the love knife "small chest cut" given by his father Masayoshi in the museum, and then pulled it out, and the cold light of the sword floated across the room. "The sword must not be broken, and the descendants of the Luo family must not abandon their martial fortunes. Life and death will arise and abort, and they will fight here."

Then, he summoned all the retainers near Yinma City to the Daguangjian in Yinma City. After the retainers were all sitting in the Daguangjian, Luo family Nobura and Imakawa Zaire walked in, and then turned around and faced Jiabao: small chest cut and armored golden little za, and held the "Three Offer" ceremony.

Luo's Nobura and Imakawa Jungre presented "Da'abao" (a very thin piece of meat) in front of Jiabao, Katsuri and Kombo, and then drank them all in different wine cups, then smashed them to pieces, raised Junshan and the bow and arrow, and shouted "Our army will win!!". All the retainers immediately responded in unison, shocking the hall. This ceremony was held in accordance with the proposal of military advisor Kanasuke Yamamoto, in order to encourage the morale of the retainers.

After the ceremony was completed, Luo's Noburo led a total of 3,000 men (including 600 standing positions and 2,400 temporary troops). On November 6, 1561, the fourth year of Yongro (1561 AD), he led Ma Castle from Toonge Kingdom and headed towards Suwahara Castle on the banks of Oikawa.

At the same time, after receiving the call from Imakawa Jungro from Toei Kingdom, the lords from all over the Imakawa family, instinctively felt the breath of death before the war. They all offered their vows to make meritorious service and kill the enemy in front of the shrines of each family, and then took the retainers of the Luo Party to quickly rush to Suwahara Castle to assemble.

Just as the tycoons responded to the call of Imakawa Tsuzei to mobilize troops to rush to Suwahara Castle to assemble, there was a controversy at Ichi's home.

The reason for the controversy is that the remaining ministers believe that the family governor I Naoto should be at home this time. As for the call of the king Imakawa Jung, they can just leave it to the important officials in the family to respond. Of course, the real reason in everyone's heart is that the family governor was only fourteen years old, a little young, and a woman. They were not at ease with this family governor from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren't for the support of the country Imakawa Jung, they might not have chosen Naoto Imakawa Jung. Now they have finally adapted to the fact that Naoto Imakawa Jungawa Jung. They really don't want to see any changes in this young female governor during the war, which made the Jingyi family, which finally settled down, fall into chaos again.

However, Naoto Ii directly refused the advice from the retainers. Even though Ii and the other two came to the door to persuade each other alone, she insisted on participating in this battle.

The next day, in the grieving eyes of many retainers, Naoto Ii directly commanded more than 200 people (including more than a dozen female soldiers, who were part of the more than 50 female soldiers selected by Naoto Ii and Nobura Luo's family) and officially rushed to Suwahara Castle.

It can be said that among the more than 200 people, except for the female soldiers selected by Naoto Ii and several retainers who secretly arranged to come in to support Naoto Ii, the rest of the people would feel a very strange feeling when they saw that their general was a female lord.

However, Naoto Ii was also self-aware, so at the secret suggestion of several Luo family officials, she decisively declared that as long as she works hard for her on the battlefield, she would receive a heavy reward, and even if the enemy's heads were cut off on the battlefield, they would be promoted to warriors. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Faced with such rewards, these military forces no longer remember whether their generals were male or female this time.

Some of the peasant soldiers saw so many rewards and still had a future temptation, and even burst into tears. They felt deeply that this female lord was indeed a person worth following. So, the Ii family army, which had more than 200 people, finally headed towards Suwahara Castle under the leadership of Ii Naoto.

Three days ago, after Imakawa Jung-seok issued a mobilization order, Nobura Royao also officially sent troops from the Shimakawa Jung-seok. As for the king, Imakawa Jung-seok, he stayed at Shimakawa Jung-seok, preparing to deal with the Guan Suga family and the Amano family who were most likely to run out of the rear and in the mountains and forests on the side to make trouble.

Although Imagawa Jung's status in Toojiang Country is more like a puppet of the Luo family, in Imagawa Jung's view, he only has two wishes in his life. The first wish is to reunite with his mother, Mrs. Ichiku, and then marry Achun, who is childhood sweetheart. The second wish is to take revenge on the Imagawa family to relieve his cruelty to the Imagawa family over the years. Now, both wishes have come true, so he has basically nothing to ask for except to continue living with his mother and wife, so he doesn't mind at all about this so-called puppet identity.

What's more, he himself is a smart man. From what he saw and heard in the Luo family of Jiuzhou, he naturally knew very well that once he had any other ideas with the so-called status of the king, he believed that he would soon lose everything he had today, and even separate from his mother and wife from then on, thus implicating his mother and wife. Therefore, he was very satisfied with the status he had gained today.

Now, the damn guy Imakawa Shima actually plans to affect his and his mother and wife's good life again. Naturally, he has to take the initiative to take responsibility to protect his own interests, so he has undertaken the task of dealing with the two clowns, Guan Suga and Amano.

As for Luo Xinliang and Yamamoto Kazusuke, since he set out, the wealthy families and guards of the Imakawa family along the way, led their troops to meet, which made Luo Xinliang's army appear stronger, but it also affected his speed of progress, and was even caught up by the Ichi family army of Naoto Ichi who came later.

After learning that Naoto Ii was arrived, Nobura Luo immediately summoned Naoto Iii and others to his side.

In fact, it was already before that, the retainers of the Ichi family sent people to Shimacheng to ask Ichizuru to order Ichizuru to stay at home and not to participate in this battle. Ichizuru simply became the boss of each hand and sent the envoy of the Ichi family to Luo's Nobura to come.

After learning about the request of the envoy of the Ii family, Noburo Luo smiled bitterly and said that he had no choice. As Noburo Luo, who had been with Naoto Ii for a while, he knew Naoto Ii very well.

Since Naoto Ii has made a decision, and even if his retainers jointly advised him, it would be useless. Noburo Luo knew that he could not persuade him, and even issued an order to let Naoto Ii return home. Naoto Ii would come directly to meet up.

After meeting with the members of the Ii family led by Naoto Ii, Naoto Ii was close to Naoto Ii, and he couldn't help but sigh as he watched the army march:

"The army of the Imakawa family in the Imakawa family in the Imakawa country is really powerful!"

After hearing this, Luo Masara looked at Jing Yi Naoki. In his opinion, Jing Yi Naoki was a bit unlucky. Originally, everyone in the Jing Yi family decided to elect him as the governor of Jing Yi Family, but because of his support for Jing Yi Naoki, he lost the opportunity to inherit the governor. In order to appease Jing Yi Naoki, Luo Nobura also directly stated that he would recruit Jing Yi Naoki's children who had not yet been born as a small surname (this was actually the decision of his father Masara).

Although Luo's behavior moved Ii Naoki deeply, he was also worried. After all, if his wife gave birth to a daughter (the little surnames recruited by the Warring States daimyo were boys), which made the young master Nobuya look embarrassed, what would it be? What if he even angered Young Master Nobuya, those good things turned into bad things!

Just as Ii Naoki was worried, his wife finally gave birth to a male child with great enthusiasm. Not only did Ii Naoki's previous concerns disappear, but it was also praised by Mr. Nobura and even gave the word "Masa" to his son. From then on, the legitimate son of Ii Naoki's daughter was confirmed to be Ii Naoki before his name was subdued.

After this incident, Naoki Ii became a hard-core supporter of Noburo Luo's family. He then accepted Noburo Luo's appointment and returned to Ii's house, concentrating on assisting Naoki Ii.

At this time, after Iinao I personally sighed, Iinao Iinao nodded slightly. She looked at the army advancing side by her. She saw that the teams of Imakawa family in the Imakawa family in the Toei Kingdom were burying their heads forward. The sound of armor and horse hooves were like the swelling of river water.

The envoy (command soldier) with the "red bird pattern" flag inserted into the target, drove the strong horses under their seats to travel back and forth between the army and conveyed the orders.

Not far behind is the team of Mr. Nobura's flag team. As the symbol of the general of the team, Mr. Nobura's flag seal "Black Hawk" is standing above (this is one of the measures taken by Nobura Luo to slowly integrate the factors of the Luo family into the Imakawa family).

The flag reads, "It is as fast as the wind, its stern as the forest, its storm is as fire as the fire, and it remains motionless as a mountain." These sixteen characters are selected by Mr. Nobuya from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and it is reported that the Takeda family in Jiafei also has such sixteen characters.

Naoto Ii's equestrian was already good at this time. She followed Young Master Nobuya while listening to the discussions of the other rich families.

Among them, the new governor of the Iino family nearby was talking to Mr. Nobura, "Sir, the army that went to war this time is nearly 5,000. When did the Imakawa family in Toei Kingdom have such a majestic force in the past? Thinking of the decisive battle with the Imakawa family in Suruga, the blood of the samurai on my body will boil."

"Haha, it's not nearly 5,000 people, but a total of 7,000 people. After arriving in Suwahara Castle, there are still two thousand defenders there." Luo's Nobura smiled and corrected. In fact, there should be about 8,000 troops that were launched this time. In addition to the three thousand troops he was leading at this time and the two thousand defenders in Suwahara Castle, the military forces gathered from various places should be about 3,000 people in total.

In this way, with the continuous joining of the powerful army, when the army arrived outside Suwahara Castle on November 10, the army had already reached more than 7,000. In addition, there were still the military forces of the powerful army from the Mikawa region, which was a little further away, rushing here.

As for Surugawa Imakawa and Sagami Hojo Alliance, they had all crossed Oikawa and came to a mountain near Suwahara Castle to set up camp, so the two sides immediately confronted each other.

At this time, Nobura Roche did not want to fight head-on with Suruga Imakawa and Sagami Hojo Alliance in a hurry. Otherwise, he had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to strengthen Suwahara Castle during the autumn harvest time, which would have no meaning at all.

In the ground, if the army wants to enter the domestic area of ​​Tomje from nearby, there are only two roads to go. One is to walk on the narrow coast of the coast, and the other is to pass from Suwahara Castle. For Surugawa Imakawa and Sagami Hojo Alliance, it is not cost-effective to take the coastal road, because the coast there has been completely blocked by the naval forces sent by Noburo Roche, while the naval forces of the Surugawa Imakawa family are very average and can only barely protect the safety of the Surugawa coast, but they must not and dare not come to fight this part of the fleet of the third naval army standing unit of the Luo family.

Therefore, the Suruga Imakawa and Sagami Hojo coalition forces could only follow the Suwahara Castle.

For Nobura, as long as the Luo family is guarding Suwahara Castle, which is the key to the passage, there are still thousands of defenders. Why don’t they play a role? Imakawa and Hojo Tsuna, your troops come from afar, and the soldiers are blocked under the fortress of the Imakawa family in the Imakawa family. Then, Imakawa will lead the lively and vigorous army to defeat you in one fell swoop.

Nobura Luo was a smart man, but Tsunari Hojo, who had been in battle for a long time since he was a teenager, was not a fool. He did not force his attack on Suwahara Castle, but persuaded Imakawa Masashi to march with his army and marched all the way to camp on Takane Mountain further west of Suwahara Castle.

Nobura Roche and Kazusuke Yamamoto, who learned about this, couldn't believe their ears:

"This Imakawa clan is very brave enough with Hojo Tsuna!"
