Sanada Yutaka first greeted Nagawei Jinghu, after all, Nagao Jinghu is the owner here, even if it is Ogasawara for a long time, it is also under the fence, and there is also a little caution of Sanada Yutaka here.

Sanada Yutaka said, "In place of my lord, I came to thank Nagao Tenaki for his help to Shinano, and this time I was able to defeat the army of the Takeda family thanks to Nagao Tena. ”

Nagao Keitora was very interested in Ueda Nobukata's defeat of the Takeda army, so he asked, "Can you tell us how Ueda defeated the Takeda family?" ”

Sanada Yutaka immediately said everything in detail, he knew that the long-tailed Jinghu in front of him liked the most bold and outspoken person.

After hearing this, Nagao Keitora said, "Well, yes, Ueda is really a person of high moral character, and a samurai should kill enemies on the battlefield, not prisoners."

If you have the chance, please tell Ueda to come to Echigo for a while, and of course, I can go there as well. ”

Sanada Yutaka said with trepidation: "My lord would be very happy if he heard the words of Nagao Denshu, but the current situation in Shinano is unstable, and I am afraid that it will not be possible until Shinano is stable." ”

Nagao Keitora looked at Ogasawara Nagashi and said, "Ogasawara Palace, it seems that you still have loyal ministers under your men." ”

Ogasawara originally fled Shinano for a long time, and now he is sent under the fence, and there was no joy on his face, but when he heard Nagao Jinghu's praise, he hurriedly smiled: "Haha, this Ueda is a rare talent of Shinano."

As soon as I heard that he had defeated Takeda, and Saku-gun was unmanaged, I made Ueda the county secretary. ”

Speaking of this, his expression became distressed: "Alas, I didn't expect this Murakami Yoshikiyo to be jealous of his talents, completely ignoring the overall situation, and directly led the troops away."

He didn't listen to me at all, where is the appearance of a courtier? Otherwise, I wouldn't be down here. ”

Nagao Jinghu nodded and said, "Well, Murakami's move is really wrong, Sanada, I heard that Ueda is Murakami's retainer?" ”

Sanada Yutaka bowed his head and said, "Hey, my lord was originally just a ashigaru, but he was promoted to the lord of Matsuo Castle because of his merits, and he captured Kitasaku County in February this year. ”

Nagao Jinghu nodded and said: "Since Ogasawara Hall has already made your lord a county secretary, it is not right to be a retainer of the Murakami again, what does Ogasawara Hall think?" ”

Sanada Yutaka didn't expect Nagao Jinghu to actually meddle in this matter.

Ogasawara saw that Nagao Jinghu respected him very much, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he shook his head and said, "Alas, today's subordinates are like lost dogs, and I'm afraid that the orders under him will be of no use to Murakami." ”

Hearing this, Nagao Jinghu frowned and said, "How can Murakami, as a courtier of Ogasawara Palace, not obey orders? I sent an envoy to go with the messenger of Ogasawara.

When the time comes, if Murakami does not listen to Ogasawara Temple's orders, I will let the messenger reprimand, and if I am stubborn, I will lend troops to Ogasawara Hall to quell the rebellion. ”

When Ogasawara heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Nagaoden, you are so gracious, it is really difficult to refuse in the lower parts, thank you so much." ”

With joy, he concealed the excitement in his heart, and looked at Sanada Yutaka with the majesty of protection, and said, "What does Ueda think about Murakami's attitude?" ”

Sanada Yutaka immediately said: "Kaiyu guards the temple, my lord often says that if there was no Murakami, there would be no him today, so my lord will fight desperately in Saku-gun."

But when Murakami withdrew with his troops and let the guardian head face the Takeda family alone, my lord was also very angry, feeling that Murakami had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a courtier.

For Murakami, it is Xiao Zhong, and serving and guarding the temple is the great righteousness! ”

Ogasawara was very happy after listening to Sanada Yutaka's words for a long time, and immediately said: "Then let Ueda become a retainer of my Ogasawara family, and he is now the power of Murakami to defend Shinano." ”

Sanada Yutaka was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he had just wasted a little tongue and did the first thing.

The long-tailed Jinghu next to him nodded and said, "If you deal with it like this, there should be no problem." ”

Sanada Yutaka immediately thanked Ogasawara Nagasagawa and Nagao Keitori.

After a while, the meeting was dissolved, and Sanada Yutaka went non-stop to meet Ogasawara Nagasaki with gifts.

As soon as Sanada Yutaka saw Ogasawara Naga, he immediately pleaded guilty and said, "I can't meet the guardian hall in the big wide room for the first time, and I'm guilty!" ”

Ogasawara laughed at himself for a long time, "What's the sin of this? After all, this is in Echigo, how can I take the lead? You're not guilty.

If you want to blame Murakami Yoshikiyo, this guy actually left alone without making a sound, even if I did something wrong, he should discuss it with him! Damn it. ”

Sanada Yukitaka also said: "What the guardian said is extremely wrong, Murakami is too wrong to do this, and now the situation in Shinano is critical, and most of the responsibility lies with Murakami. ”

Ogasawara nodded approvingly, and he was even happier to blame Ueda Murakami or Murakami's subordinates.

Of course, the empty words and white teeth were not very convincing, and Sanada Yutaka took out the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.

He said: "After all, the guardian hall is not in Shinano, and now it is inconvenient to live in Echigo, so the lord has brought ten large gold pieces to hand over to the guardian hall to show his heart."

In the future, the lord will also send gifts, and please guard the temple not to blame. ”

Ogasawara hurriedly smiled and said, "How could it be? Oops, this will make Ueda break the bank, after all, he is still fighting against the Takeda family, and Ueda is really too loyal. ”

Sanada Yutaka pouted secretly, but there was an excited expression on his face, and now gaining Ogasawara's long-term favor was only the first step.

In particular, it is necessary to slowly win the trust of Ogasawara Nagatoki, and then, that is, to make Ogasawara have a feeling of being under the fence in Echigo for a long time.

At this time, Ueda Nobukata asked for the guardian generation again, and Ogasawara would definitely let go for a long time, hoping that Ueda, a loyal minister, would help him return to Shinano.

Such a plan was a decision made after a long discussion between Yutaka Sanada and Nobukata Ueda.

After Sanada Yutaka left, Ogasawara said for a long time: "Alas, I didn't expect this Ueda Nobukata to be so hearted." ”

Futaki Shigeyoshi said: "After all, the lord is the lord of Shinano, and Murakami is just the lord's courtier." And only the lord can let him climb higher. ”

Ogasawara was in a much better mood when he heard the praise of his courtiers, but he said, "This Sanada is right, no matter what the Nagao Kiki of the Yue Kingdom does to me, after all, he is just a send-off."

We need to pay more attention to this Ueda Nobukata, and if he has the opportunity to defeat Takeda, I will not be stingy to help him. ”

The following retainers immediately said, "My lord, then let Ueda become Murakami's strength as soon as possible." ”

"With the help of Nagao Denki, having Murakami send troops with Ueda should be able to repel Takeda."

"My lord, I am willing to become an envoy to the village."

Ogasawara was also mobilized by the emotions of these people for a long time, and when he thought of scolding Murakami, he was excited, and he couldn't wait to go into battle himself.

He turned his head to Futaki Shigekichi and said, "Chongji, it's up to you to go to Murakami's house this time, and you know what to do when the time comes, right?" ”

Ermu Shigeji said first: "Hey, the minister understands! ”

Ogasawara said to Ariga and Saemon again: "Saemon, you go to Saku-gun to meet Ueda and let him serve as the county secretary of O-gun." ”

He clearly blocked Murakami Yoshikiyo in this way, and blamed Murakami Yoshikiyo for leaving without saying a word, with the support of Long-tailed Jinghu, he must take a bad breath.

He had already begun to imagine that Murakami, who was reprimanded by Shigeyoshi Futaki and couldn't fight back, as well as the small prefecture and Saku-gun that he had always wanted, had become his retainers.

How aggrieved will Murakami Yoshikiyo be then? When Ogasawara thought of this, he was very happy for a long time.

If Sanada Yutaka knew about Ogasawara's long-term movements, he would definitely jump up and scold: You stupid pig, you!
