Returning to Echigo, Uesugi Masatora summoned his retainers and agreed to send troops to Kanto at the end of September to defeat the retainers.

Hojo Takahiro said: "My lord, these days when you left, Usamiki invited Shinano Mamoru to sit in town, although the big bear was rude, but Shinano Mamoru cut off his family name, which was too much. ”

Zhenghu frowned and said: "Da Xiong's actions are all his own fault, this matter, Yi Changqi did not do anything wrong, don't talk about it again."

There is also the country of Echichu, which has been assigned to the management of Yoshinaga by His Royal Highness the Princess, and sent someone to rule Shiina Guardian and asked him to send envoys to pay allegiance to Yoshinaga. ”

The long-tail Zhengjing said: "Lord, this move is inappropriate, because Jing Gong spent a lot of energy in order to subdue Yuezhong back then, why did the lord just give up?" ”

Uesugi Masako took out a fan and slapped it the tatami mat: "I said it for the last time, my ideal is to support the righteousness, you must work together with me, and the focus of the family in the future will be in the Kanto!"

This time in Shangluo, except for Kakizaki who led the vanguard cavalry to participate in the battle, we didn't even approach Gyeonggi. This is a disgrace to the family.

I must stabilize the Kanto region, send troops to Yoshinaga Kamirakin again, support the shogunate, and stabilize the world! Generals should work hard for this! ”

The retainers led by Usami Dingmitsu and Nakajo Fujizi bowed their heads in response, and the rest of the retainers reluctantly bowed their heads.

A cavalryman then left Kasuga Mountain Castle and headed for Echichu.

As I said before, there are three major forces in Vietnam, one is the Shiina family, the guardian generation of the Echichu, and the attached Uesugi family.

The second is the Jimbo family, which was revived because of the Jimbo long-term position, and reached the largest territory of the Jimbo family, and now it is trying to destroy the Shiina family.

The third is the Yixiang Sect, which is an invisible force, but once it is launched, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be raised in an instant.

The last force, in vain, is the guardian of the Tian (Hatake) mountain family, and the Tian Shan family has only the name of righteousness.

In Matsukura Castle, the home of the Shiina clan, a cavalryman with an Uesugi bamboo finch pattern on his back was welcomed into the castle, and Shiina Chotsu personally received him, accompanied by Shiina Yasuin.

The cavalry took out the letter and said: "The lord commands, from now on the Shiina family is no longer a subordinate of Echigo!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shiina Nagatsu was surprised: "Could it be that Uesugi Hall is going to destroy the family?" ”

The knight shook his head and said, "From today onwards, the Shiina family will be under the jurisdiction of Shinano Moriyoshi Nagagong, which is an order of the shogunate. ”

Yasuin Shiina wondered, "No one has followed the shogunate's orders for many years. ”

The knight pointed to the letter and said: "The reason for this has been written in the letter, in short, you are under the management of Shinano, if there is resistance, this family will definitely send troops to help Shinano to quell the rebellion!" ”

As the knight left, Shiina Nagatsune and Shiina Yasuin read the letter, but they were speechless.

Then Yasuyin Shiina said: "Uncle, if this is the case, it is not a bad thing for the family. ”

Shiina Choga often wondered, "Shinano is an ambitious general, and if he is attached to this family, I am afraid that he will lose his status as an independent countryman." ”

Yasuyin Shiina shook his head and said: "This is also a helpless thing, my uncle also knows the attitude of the Uesugi family, can this family resist the joint attack of the Uesugi and Ogasawara families?" ”

Shiina Chang frowned and said, "We're in a hurry, so will the Divine Protection Chief?" It is said that Shinano Mamoru has only two ways to enter Echichu, one is Hida Province, and the other is Echigo.

But it was said in the letter that Shinano Mamoru was also the guardian of Hida Country, and presumably Shinano Mamoru wanted to take down Hida Country before entering my Echichu, so let's talk to the Jimbauke family. ”

Shiina Yasuyin frowned and said, "But if Shinano Mamoru leads troops into Vietnam, I'm afraid he will use this as an excuse." ”

Shiina Chang smiled: "When the time comes, I will give you the position of the governor, so that's it." ”

"Uncle!" Yasuyin Shiina was surprised.

Shiina Chang often patted Shiina Yasuyin on the shoulder and said: "The position of this family was originally yours, I just managed it for you, and now that you have grown up, it's time to hand over the position to you, Miyachiyo, to protect the Shiina family." ”

...

Kai Takeda house, in the Kusaki Museum.

Harunobu Takeda took the information he had recently collected and asked the retainers below, "What are your opinions?" ”

Iifu Huchang shook his head and said: "I didn't expect the Kanto Guan to run away from home like a child, Kanto is not enough, I think I can restore the alliance with the Hojo family." ”

Komai Takahakusai said: "No, this gives Shinano Mamoru an excuse for the Miyamoto family, and now Shinano Mamoru is a million-stone daimyo and the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and the family cannot go to war with it."

Unless the main family can be with the Imagawa family, at the same time, the Imagawa family will go all out, so that they can fight against Shinano Mamoru. ”

Yuan Changyin also said: "It is really not advisable to fight head-on, and the family has not recovered when they come in." ”

Takeda Harunobu, who was sitting at the top, nodded and said, "Yes, it is true that the family cannot compete with Shinano Mamoru, but once Imagawa and Ogasawara go to war, the family will definitely have to participate in the war."

Before that, let's think of ways to slow down Yoshinaga Ogasawara. ”

Komai Takahakusai pointed to an intelligence report: "Uesugi retainer Hojo Takahiro is very dissatisfied with Ogasawara Yoshinaga severing the name of the Okuma family, and he can use it. ”

Yuan Changyin was puzzled: "That's the Uesugi family's business, what does it have to do with Ogasawara?" ”

Komai Takahakusai said with a smile: "If Uesugi rebels at the critical moment of the Kanto region, then the Uesugi coalition army will be in turmoil and the situation will be at a disadvantage.

Ogasawara, as an ally of Uesugi, will send troops to assist when the time comes, so Ogasawara's energy will be dragged to Kanto.

When the time comes, let the Imagawa family send troops westward to attack Owari, and then Ogasawara will not care about each other, so that there will be a chance for the family. ”

Baba Nobubo, who had not spoken, said: "All this is under the premise that Ogasawara Yoshinaga sends troops, if he doesn't send troops, how should the family deal with it?" ”

Komai Takahakusai said: "This is not a big deal for the family, this time, the family is hiding behind the scenes and does not come forward."

If Ogasawara does not send troops, then send people to spread rumors and divide the relationship between Uesugi and Ogasawara.

And he can also send someone to persuade Imagawa Jibu Daisuke, and Imagawa Jibu Daisuke will not watch Ogasawara sit in the position of the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

Takeda Harunobu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Komai is right, this time the family is sitting behind the scenes, watching the fire from the other side, watching the two tigers of Imagawa and Ogasawara fight!" ”

Baba Nobubo said: "In this way, with the current situation, Ogasawara does not actually control Hida, Echichu, Noto and Owari for the time being, and Mikawa is still in the hands of Imagawa Jibu Daisuke.

My lord, my lord, my ministers thought that they would immediately send messengers to persuade them to rebel against Ogasawara Yoshinaga! ”

Takeda Harunobu nodded with a smile, touched his beard and said: "Ogasawara Yoshinaga has risen too fast, his background is insufficient, and there are flaws everywhere, so let's act!" ”

"Hah!"

......

Imagawakan.

Imagawa Yoshimoto took the information and looked at it, and then handed it to Shou Gui Ni and Taiyuan Xue Zhai to see.

Imagawa Yoshimoto said, "Uesugi Masatora has returned to Echigo, and it seems that the Kanto Rebellion will not be too large. ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai nodded and said: "It depends on whether there is any change in the future, if there is a major change in Uesugi, Shinano's Ogasawara will have to come to the rescue." ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto asked, "Yukisai, do you have any idea?" ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai smiled: "These changes are nothing more than two things, one is that Uesugi is at a disadvantage in a head-to-head battle, which is probably impossible, unless the family and Takeda enter."

The other is that there is a rebellion within the Uesugi family, which will also affect the situation. Ogasawara and the family will definitely go to war. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and said, "Indeed, Ogasawara Yoshinaga is the guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, and the three rivers are under his control, Yukisai, what do you think?" ”

Taiyuan Yukisai smiled: "In this case, the family should negotiate peace with Oda Nobunaga." ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto was puzzled: "Oda Nobunaga married his sister to Yoshinaga with his own hands, and I am afraid it is impossible to make peace with the family." ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai shook his head and said: "The poor monk thinks that Oda Nobunaga is not an ordinary person, and after being able to grow up in Ogasawara Yoshina and win the Miyoshi family, he immediately decided to marry his sister to Ogasawara Yoshinaga, such a decision is not an ordinary person."

And his father-in-law died at the hands of Ogasawara Yoshinaga, and he didn't complain about it, which shows his endurance.

The lord, the poor monk thought that as long as the time was ripe, Oda Nobunaga would bite Ogasawara Yoshinaga back. ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and said, "Listening to what you say, this Oda Nobunaga is a character, so how to negotiate peace with him?" ”

Shou Guini said: "Just hand over the Yamaguchi father and son to Oda Nobunaga, and give him all the castles he occupies." ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai also nodded: "But it's not now, if the Ichishi family does this, Ogasawara Yoshicho will react immediately, with Oda Nobunaga's strength, we still need to wait." ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded and said, "Okay, then wait a little longer." ”

While Takeda and Imagawa were plotting to calculate Yoshicho, Yoshicho was throwing a tantrum in Ueda Castle.

Deura Kiyojong said: "My lord, Miki Zizuna is very arrogant, not only ignoring the envoy sent by the family, but also connecting with the Jiangma family and other people. ”

Yi squinted his eyes angrily and said: "Little Hida, but in the land of projectiles, Miki, a little daimyo of ten thousand stones, dares to argue with me!" Point soldiers! Point soldiers!

If you don't take off Miki Zizuna's head, how does the family manage the Seven Kingdoms, and what face does the family have to be this leader! ”

On the side, Sanada Yutaka stubbornly said: "My lord, over there, the five thousand standing troops trained by Shimizu are only half a month, which is not enough to go into battle. ”

Yoshicho dropped his wine glass, stood up and said, "How many more people do you need to fight a flying da, I will bring three thousand people from my headquarters to the battle, and I will let him be wiped out in a moment!"

Immediately convey the order, prepare grain, grass and ordnance, and now immediately transfer the Hida Quartet, my Ogasawara family sent troops to crusade against the non-subordinate this time, and those who resist the family will be wiped out, and they will never be forgiven! ”

Yoshicho looked at Sanada Yutaka and said, "Hida is a place that my family must pass through when they go to Echichu, and they must be firmly controlled, and they must choose a general to guard it when the time comes." ”
