Due to the impact of the Higashi-Mino War, this year's autumn harvests in Owari and Mino were greatly affected. However, these losses were insignificant compared to the results achieved by the Oda family this time.
After the fall of Sekijo, the direct connection between Inabayama Castle and the vast area of Higashi Mino has been cut off. They can only find ways to transmit information through the uninhabited and mountainous North American Mino. However, these small mountain roads can only be used for transportation.
It is simply unrealistic to allow large armies to pass through with messengers on horseback. Therefore, Higashi Mino has actually become an "enclave". The Saito family's army cannot reach Higashi Mino.
The army can't go to Inaba Mountain either.
Oda Nobunaga immediately seized on this and started to make a fuss. Immediately after the autumn harvest, he gathered his troops again and put pressure on Higashi Mino from the direction of Inuyama and Kanayama. The powerful families such as the Toyama family and the Endo family of Higashi Mino could not resist it.
The large army of the Oda family and the Saito family of Inabayama Castle were isolated at a distance and had no way to come to support them, so they were forced to ask for peace from Oda Nobunaga. The Toyama family already had an marriage relationship with Oda Nobunaga, so it was logical that they
They surrendered to the Oda family. The Endo family did not want to give in easily and were trapped in the mountain castle. A large number of wealthy families in Higashi Mino also joined forces at this moment, and nearly half of them surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, Ena County, Toki County, and Koji County.
, a large area of Kamo County fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga.
However, Oda Nobunaga did not immediately launch a strategy to pacify Higashi Mino, because after years of fighting, Owari's manpower and number of men were already very scarce. Niwa Nagahide and others suggested that Oda Nobunaga rest and recuperate.
Once you have established an advantage over Meinong, you can just slowly snowball it without resorting to heavy warfare.

After withdrawing his troops and returning to the territory, Yu Qiuping received a letter from Asai Nagamasa - a letter of good news. It turned out that Ashi gave birth to a little princess for Asai Nagamasa just three days ago! Yu
Qiuping vaguely remembered that in the history of the previous life, Asai Nagamasa and Ashi gave birth to three daughters in total, and they were called the Three Asai Sisters by later generations because these three sisters were all famous for their legendary marriages. The eldest daughter Chacha married
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who became a man of the world, the second daughter Aha married into the famous Kyogoku family. The third daughter Ae's relationship experience was quite bumpy, but she finally married the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the second-generation shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate.
The three sisters, Hidetada, are so sought after by these high-ranking daimyo, which shows that their beauty is indeed stunning. It is no wonder that the daughter of Aichi, the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period, and the handsome Nagamasa Asai, is naturally also a beauty.
Yu Qiuping didn't know that because he had changed history in this life, the day Asai Nagamasa and Ashi gave birth to their first daughter, Asai Chacha, was two years earlier than in the previous life.
However, such good news really made Yu Qiuping happy for a while, and he also passed the good news to Oda Nobunaga. However, Yu Qiuping could tell with his toes that his friends who wanted to eat swan meat knew that Ashi
How depressing it must have been after giving birth to a daughter for Asai Nagamasa.
A few days later, Asai Nagamasa's excitement about the birth of his daughter seemed not to have passed, so he actually sent another letter to Yu Qiuping. In the letter, Asai Nagamasa even expressed his love to Yu Qiuping for his little princess Chacha in a joking tone.
His eldest son, Yu Qiu Shang, proposed to marry him. After Yu Qiu Ping laughed, he was quite moved in his heart, because it showed that Asai Nagamasa did not mind Yu Qiu Shang's disability.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping slowly folded the letter in his hand, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the study downstairs. Today, Yu Qiuyou followed Amano Jingtoku to attend a legal proceeding. It should be that only Yu
Qiu Shang is studying in the study.
Sure enough, when Yu Qiuping opened the door, he happened to see Takenaka Shigeharu and Yu Qiu Shang sitting opposite each other on the tatami, with a chessboard between them. Now Kawafeng also sat next to Yu Qiu Shang with a smile, looking at his son
He clumsily practiced according to the fixed formulas on the chess book compiled by Yu Qiuping. Sitting aside, Naoe Seigenmaru, who had just turned three years old this year, was watching Yu Qiu Shang playing with the chess pieces with a confused look on his face.
"Hanbei, what are you teaching Shang'er?" Yu Qiuping walked to Takenaka Shigeharu and sat down cross-legged, smiling at Yu Qiu Shang and asked.
"Hongye, I'm teaching him Go." Takenaka Shigeharu responded softly, but his eyes did not leave Yu Qiu Shang's little hand holding the chess pieces.
"Oh? I'm learning chess! Not bad!" Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Yu Qiu Shang on the shoulder, "Dad also started learning Go when he was as old as you! If you want to learn Go well, you must start from scratch.
You start laying the groundwork at such an early age.”
"But dad," Yu Qiu Shang raised his head with some annoyance, put the black stones in his hand back into the chess box, and whispered to Yu Qiuping: "Shang'er can't learn no matter how hard he learns. Mrs. Jing Yi has already taught me
It’s been almost a month since I started playing with Ayou, and I’m still not doing well, but Ayou is already doing well.”
"Learning chess takes more than ten years or even decades, how can it be something that happens overnight," Yu Qiuping smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious, take your time."
"But You'er can learn well." Yu Qiu Shang muttered in a low voice with some grievance: "Why no matter what I do... I have to be so much worse than A You and other children?"
"Brother Shang'er can't say that!" Naoe Seigenmaru, who was sitting next to Yu Qiu Shang, had just learned to speak, and retorted in a cooing voice: "Brother Shang'er is obviously very powerful."
"Chengyuan Pill..." Yu Qiu Shang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flickered with emotion.
"Look, we Chengyuan Wan don't think you are good, so how can Shang'er belittle himself?" Yu Qiuping rubbed Yu Qiu Shang's hair a few times and comforted softly.
"But every time I play chess with Ayou, I am no match for him. He beats him many times." Yu Qiu Shang lowered his head and took out a black chess piece from the chess box with some reluctance, and illuminated it.
The appearance on the chess record is placed on the chessboard.
"Well..." Yu Qiuping scratched his head, "I haven't seen you play before. How about you wait until he comes back in the evening and you play a game in front of me? I will help you find the reason."
·
After hearing that his brother wanted to play chess with him, and his father would sit by and watch, Yu Qiuyou immediately jumped three feet high with excitement. Originally, because his brother couldn't beat him every time, he already didn't want to play with him. It's rare to have such a chance.
Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to play chess.
After dinner in the evening, Yu Qiu Shang and Yu Qiu Yu sat on opposite sides of the chessboard in the study and started playing chess. Five people, Yu Qiupei, Imagawa Kaede, Takenaka Shigeharu, Amano Keitoku and Ii Naotora, sat around
A large observation group formed near the chessboard. When Yu Qiuyou saw so many people watching him play chess, his face flushed with excitement. Yu Qiu Shang, on the other hand, felt a little uneasy because of so many eyes.
Yu Qiuyou holds the black one, while Yu Qiu Shang holds the white one. The two small figures are sitting there kneeling, and they look quite impressive. Yu Qiuping is proficient in Go, and after watching dozens of moves, he realized that these two little figures were
The child has probably reached level 5 or 6 of Chinese Go in his previous life. It can be said that he is learning very quickly.
Watching these two children play chess, it can reflect their personalities and characteristics. Yu Qiu Shang plays chess slowly and has to think for a while before making each move. Yu Qiuyou hardly thinks about each move.
When playing chess, you rely on your sense of chess. You raise your hand and land the piece quickly, "papapapa".
Gradually, Yu Qiuping began to see some clues. Yu Qiu Shang obviously memorized the formulas written by Yu Qiuping and those that were circulated at the time very skillfully. Every move was precise and without the slightest deviation. He would hit where he should.
Where. Yu Qiuyou's style is quite unconventional, with a wide range of moves. Not only does he often play chess without following the fixed formulas, but he also frequently takes advantage of the advantageous position. Every time Yu Qiuyou does not follow the fixed formulas and changes his moves.
Sometimes, Yu Qiu Shang will be stuck in a long test, and there will be no small problems in the final response. And when Yu Qiu You leaves first, Yu Qiu Shang will always stick to the formula and must complete the number of steps he should take.
, to ensure that there are no flaws in his chess, and gave up the fight for large open spaces.
The two sides were going back and forth, constantly placing pieces on the chessboard, but the outcome was quietly tilting towards Yu Qiuyou. Yu Qiuyou's approach was quite radical, but he occupied a large area of open space with his sense of chess. But Yu Qiuyou
Shang Ze is much more conservative. Although he keeps his chess and territory tightly guarded, by the end of the layout, two-thirds of the territory is often controlled by Yu Qiuyou.
And Yu Qiu Shang doesn't seem to like taking risks to break into Yu Qiu You's large open spaces, but always tries to counterattack the flaws left by Yu Qiu You's failure to follow strict moves. Although Yu Qiu Shang is 100% sure in such a battle,
He almost never failed. However, he could often only eat one or two pieces. On the contrary, during the battle, a strong momentum was formed, making it difficult for Yu Qiuyou to touch the large open space and belly.
But in the final stage, Yu Qiu Shang did much better than Yu Qiu You. He calculated clearly which move was the first move and which move had the most numbers. There were no flaws in every move, and he made a lot of gains.
On the other hand, Yu Qiuyou's performance at the end was lackluster, and he even made some small mistakes, which led to Yu Qiu Shang losing a few more points.
Then, Yu Qiuyou's advantage in the layout stage was so huge that even if he missed again and again, he still led by a huge number of moves. In the end, he won the game with 197 moves in black, and he cheered happily.
Yu Qiu Shang, on the other hand, was a little unwilling. He clutched the last white piece in his hand and scanned every corner of the chessboard with his lost eyes, trying to find the mistakes he had made.
After Yu Qiuping saw the whole situation, he understood in his heart. He smiled slightly, stretched out his hands and touched the heads of the two children.
"You are all very good at playing. You are already very good at playing so well in such a short period of time." Yu Qiuping changed the topic and whispered again: "However, there are still many areas that need improvement!"
