Yoshicho made an excuse to get closer to Usami Dingman, and he asked, "What's bothering Usami?" Are you still thinking about the Kanto region? Zhenghu Gong is a pure good person. ”

Usami said with a smile: "Just do what the lord wants to do, and if there is anything missing, it is up to us who are retainers to make up for it." ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "Usamiki is worthy of being the minister of the political tiger prince, and I admire him."

I'm afraid that the variable in Kanto is still in Hojo, although the clan followed us back to Echigo, but the clan left behind Tamu Mototada and Hojo Phantom, these two are the right hand men of the clan, and their status is no less than that of Usamiki in front of the Masato.

Moreover, the loss of the Hojo family's retainers is not large, although Hojo Tsusunari is no longer good, but his son Hojo Yasunari is not simple.

I heard that although Hojo Yasunari is young, his bravery is not weaker than Hojo Tsunari, which shows that the Hojo family has a strong background, although it was defeated for a while, but given time, it will rise in a few years. ”

After hearing this, Usami Dingman sighed slightly and said, "What's so difficult about this, the strength of this family will also be thriving." ”

Yoshicho was a little dissatisfied and said: "Usamizu, you're not right, why are you so perfunctory?" ”

Usami Dingmitsu saw that Yoshicho was a little angry, and hurriedly corrected his attitude and said: "The Hojo family is now surrounded by the Yamauchi Uesugi family, the Furukawa Gongkata family, and the future Horikoshi Gongkata family, and the Satomi family across the sea will also control the development of Hojo, so there is no need to worry." ”

Yoshicho hurriedly said: "That being said, but in the previous assessment, the actions of the Shogunate caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and secondly, if the shogunate sent someone to inherit the Horikoshi Gongfang, the Horikoshi Gongfang must be biased towards the shogunate."

When the time comes, the Kokotsu Gongfang will definitely let the Masato Tiger Gong go to Luo, so that the center of gravity of the Masato Tiger Gong and the Uesugi family will move westward, and when the time comes, no one will suppress the Kanto, so how will the Furukawa Gongfang be willing to let the Masahu Gong humiliate him? ”

Usami Dingman actually knew about the Furukawa Princess, who had a grudge against the shogunate for several generations, but because of the civil strife, his own strength declined.

But now, if you admit your mistake to the shogunate and recuperate for a few years, your power will rise again, and as long as Uesugi Masato doesn't pay attention, Furukawa will definitely do something.

When the time comes, the Hojo family, the Satomi family, and so on, who are dissatisfied with Uesugi Masato, will be in chaos.

Usami Dingman looked at Yoshinaga and hurriedly asked, "What do you have to ask for Ogasawara Hall?" ”

Yichang smiled: "There is a little suggestion, I thought I could save Shi Kang's life." ”

Usami frowned and said, "Uesugi Daiden will not spare Hojo Shiyasu." ”

Yoshicho smiled and said: "Some things can be changed, Masato wants to let Uesugi Daiden return to Hirai Castle, Uesugi Daiden must be panicking, at this time, Usami will spare Shiyasu's life, then Uesugi Daiden will go to Hirai Castle." ”

Usami nodded and said, "That's true." He understood why Yoshicho wanted to save Yasu's life, but saving Yasu was also good for the Uesugi family.

That is, the Uesugi family holds Hojo Shiyasu as a hostage, and the Hojo clan will not dare to act rashly.

Hojo Shiyasu, the hostage, is much heavier than the second son of Shiyasu handed over by the Hojo family.

Usami asked, "Then how should Hojo Shiyasu be placed?" ”

Yoshicho smiled evilly: "Hey, then let Shiyasu go to the Buddha, let's just say that he prays for the soul of the concubine of the Uesugi main hall and forgives his mistakes." ”

Usami Dingman glanced at Yoshinaga, bowed his head and said, "Ogasawara Hall is really a brilliant plan, I admire it." ”

Yoshicho touched his beard and smiled reservedly: "Everywhere, it's a little clever, not enough to worry about." ”

Yoshinaga got Usami Dingman, and went back satisfied.

Usami Dingmitsu did not tell Uesugi Masatoshi about Yoshinaga's small abacus, after all, it was indeed beneficial to leave Hojo Yasushi alive.

He had to do it privately.

The day before Uesugi Masato returned to Echigo, Uesugi Kenmasa met with the retainers of the Usami family, who had returned to Echigo first.

The man sent a letter to Uesugi Kenmasa and quickly left.

When Uesugi Kenmasa opened the letter, it was written that Uesugi Masato would return Higashi-Ueno's old domain to him, and Uesugi Kenmasa could return to his hometown.

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenmasa muttered, he felt that Uesugi Masato was testing him, if he accepted it, it might be a dead end.

Then he read it, and then he grasped the letter with both hands, his expression was a little hideous, his eyes bulged, his teeth were gritted, and he trembled. It's an act of anger.

After reading the letter, Uesugi Kenmasa was very angry, but he endured it at the thought that he could return to his old domain.

The next day, the combined forces of Ogasawara and Uesugi returned to Echigo, and Uesugi Masana met Uesugi Kenmasa for the first time.

The two talked very happily, and for the treatment of Hojo Shiyasu, Uesugi Kenmasa first scolded Hojo Shiyasu, and then said: "Let him become a monk and recite Buddhist scriptures for my son every day to forgive his sins!" ”

Uesugi Masato agreed to Uesugi Kenmasa's request in full, and immediately sent Shikang to the temple to become a monk.

And Uesugi Kenmasa will go to Hirai Castle in three days.

As for Yoshicho, he told Shimizu Yasuei and the other three with the news of Shiyasu's renunciation.

Last night, Yoshicho had already ventilated with them.

Yasuei Shimizu has a resolute complexion, and his appearance is a typical Kwantung samurai.

He nodded at Yoshicho and said, "Thank you for saving the life of the lord of the clan, and your subordinates will definitely be loyal to the Ogasawara family in the future." ”

Yasutoshi Mamiya and Keimune Nagahara also followed suit.

After all, Yoshicho had already told the three of them before that as long as he was out of the Ogasawara family, he could become the lord of the castle, and as for Zhixingdi, as long as he made military exploits, he would reward them heavily.

Now Yoshicho has saved Shiyasu, and it has also made them let go of the mustard in their hearts, and they can go out of the Ogasawara family.

Yoshicho is very happy, his weak family background is finally richer, and it is not Shimizu Yasuei, who can temporarily make up for his lack of fierce generals.

Yoshicho said, "Although the family is not near the sea, the family and the political tiger are inexorable, and Echigo will provide a port for the family, so you don't have to worry that the family does not have a navy." ”

Qing Shui Yasuying was a little worried: "Lord, it is not good for my family to not have my own port." ”

Yoshicho nodded and said, "That's true, but if you go north, the family will break with the Uesugi family, which the family doesn't want to see."

Then there are only two directions left for the development of the family, one of which is to attack Mino in the west, and then to attack Owari or Mikawa, you can get the port.

Second, if you go south to attack Takeda and Imagawa, you can also get the port. What do you think? ”
