You have to understand that life exists on many different levels. When we are at one level of experience, another level, whatever it is, does not become reality for us.

In the urgent information sent back by Sanada Nobushigeru, there was no long description of anything, only a brief description, and the core of it was the following sentence: The war broke out between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family, and my Yanhuang family had no choice but to be involved.

In the war between the Uesugi family, the absolute overlord of Hokuriku Province of the Yamato Empire, and the Hojo family, one of the overlords of Tokaido in the Yamato Empire, if there is no intervention by external forces, the winning side will definitely be the Uesugi family of Hokuriku, and the Hojo family is not the opponent of the Uesugi family.

But the reality is that the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family, which are the same hegemonic forces in Tokaido as the Hojo family, actually joined the battle at the critical moment of the Uesugi family's repeated victories, helping the Hojo family, whose strength has been greatly damaged, to fight against the Uesugi family, who dominate the land together.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the war between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family, the two families sent an alliance invitation to the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family at the same time, and at that time, the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family, who were full of mountains and watching the tiger fight, did not make a commitment to either family.

As a result, the overall strength of the Hojo family, which was far inferior to that of the Uesugi family, was fiercely attacked by the Uesugi family's huge army, and the loss of troops was even more lost, and even the head of the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu, was almost captured by the Uesugi family's army on the battlefield.

The Hojo family, which had suffered heavy defeats one after another, not only quickly lost more than half of their territory, but also wiped out more than two-thirds of their army on the battlefield.

The crux of the matter is that the Uesugi family, which dominates Hokuriku Province, is already one of the most powerful families in the Yamato Empire, and the vast Yamato Empire can compete with the Uesugi family in strength, and the two major families of Mori and Oda are all in the world.

The Mori family, which dominates San'in and Sanyo, and the Oda family, which straddles Higashiyamado and Tokaido, are super powerful families on a par with the Uesugi family.

In the view of Takeda Shingen, the head of the Takeda family, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the head of the Tokugawa family, the fundamental purpose of their sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight was to hope that the Uesugi family and the Hojo family would compete with each other, and the two families would be profitable fishermen.

It's a pity that things don't go as people want, and the rapid defeat of the Hojo family makes them see the crisis of their own family; once the Uesugi family easily seizes all the territories of the Hojo family, will the Uesugi family, which has grown in strength, let go of the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family?

It was impossible for the eloquent Takeda Shingen and the resourceful Tokugawa Ieyasu not to understand the truth, so when the Hojo family could not support it, the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family mobilized their troops and immediately joined the battle.

After the heavy losses, the Hojo family's army, including peasants, was about 60,000 or 70,000, and the Takeda family, which had always attached great importance to the development of cavalry, was able to dispatch 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry after leaving enough troops to defend the family's territory.

Unlike the Takeda family, which followed the route of elite soldiers, the Tokugawa family, which was accustomed to using crowd tactics, mobilized tens of thousands of peasants to participate in every major war, and this time was no exception; half of the 150,000 troops sent by the Tokugawa clan were peasant soldiers with no military training.

The 330,000 allied forces of the Hojo family, the Takeda family, and the Tokugawa family, and the 180,000 elite divisions of the Uesugi family, engaged in a fierce confrontation in Ueno Province on the Higashiyama Road.

The Higashiyamado of the Yamato Empire was originally the sphere of influence of the Date family, but the Date family today is no longer the Date family of the past, and the Date family, which is not strong, does not even have the courage to drive the Uesugi family and the Hojo coalition army.

Anyway, Ueno Province is not his family's territory, whether it is the Uesugi family army on the attacking side, or the Hojo, Takeda, and Tokugawa coalition forces on the defending side, when they are in Ueno Country, they all plunder without scruples to improve the morale of their respective armies.

The unfortunate people of Ueno Province were caught between the 500,000 troops of the two armies, and they did not dare to resist and could not bear it; in desperation, the desperate people of Ueno Province began to migrate from south to north, to the Mutsu Province of the Yanhuang family and the Shimono Kingdom of the Date family.

At the beginning, Uesugi Kenshin, the head of the Uesugi family, did not care about the northward migration of the people of Ueno Province, and in his opinion, the Date family, which could only hide from a distance even when the two armies were fighting, would not dare to accept the northward migration of the people of Ueno Province.

As Uesugi Kenshin expected, Date Masamune, the current head of the Date family, who took the initiative to lead the army to retreat to Shimono Province, not only did not accept the people of Ueno Province who moved north, but instead sent troops to expel the people of Ueno Province who tried to enter the territory of Shimono Province!

In stark contrast to the Date family of Shimono Province was the Yanhuang family of Mutsu Province, and although the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo who led the army to the southern part of Mutsu Province was reluctant to accept these refugees who moved from the north, Sanada Masayuki, who was one level higher than him, insisted on accepting refugees.

Sanada Masayuki, who led the Sanada Standing Army to take charge of Takamizuji Castle, an important town in the southern part of the Mutsu Kingdom, had already made a decision, and how could the Iwasiczu Yoshikyo who led his army to stay at the Bian Seok Imperial Palace oppose it? Moreover, Sanada Masayuki's decision was fully supported by Nanbu Shinnao.

With the strong support of the southern Shinnao, the grain from the rear of the Yanhuang family was continuously transported to Takasui Temple Castle, an important town in the southern part of the country, and wave after wave of refugees were sent to various cities in the hinterland of the country after receiving basic rations at the high water temple castle.

In the final analysis, it was the war between the Uesugi family and the Hojo, Takeda, and Tokugawa families that led to the northward migration of hundreds of people from Ueno Province.

With the continuous loss of population of Ueno Province, the Ueno Province can no longer provide any form of assistance to the warring parties, in other words, the Ueno Province, which used to live and work in peace and contentment, has been scorched by the 500,000 army that has long been slaughtered.

In the face of a powerful coalition of Hojo, Takeda, and Tokugawa, it was difficult for Kenshin Uesugi to win easily, and after several successive fierce attacks without success, Kenshin Uesugi decided to end the war.

The Uesugi family, who had taken advantage of the war, wanted to end the war, and the Hojo family, which had suffered heavy losses, naturally did not agree, but the clever Uesugi Kenshin did not seek peace with the Hojo family, but regarded the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family as their Uesugi family's objects of peace.

The Uesugi family, which occupied three-fifths of the Hojo family's territory, was willing to give half of the territory equally to the Takeda family and the Tokugawa family as a condition for peace, and at the same time Uesugi Kennobu promised not to attack the Hojo family again.

Uesugi Kenshin's practice of equalizing interests was immediately unanimously approved by Takeda Shingen and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and after the three families agreed on the peace treaty on this basis, the Hojo family, the only loser, had to swallow their anger and accept this result.
