Hinote Honhide's remarks about the "Kanto Governor" made it completely impossible to maintain the superficial harmonious atmosphere.

The so-called "fear of Echigo's iron cavalry" is self-defeating. Depriving you of your service in front of you is not a sign of fear, but a blatant provocation.

A person with a good name and a gift like Kenshin Uesugi categorically cannot accept such treatment.

Naoe Keixuna knew this, and instead of trying to deal with it like a Kyoto bureaucrat, he showed the demeanor of a Hokuriku samurai and walked away.

His farewell line was: "The next time we meet, I'm afraid I can only make a voice with a sword, and I won't have time to talk with words." If you are fortunate enough to be in front of the Prime Minister and Lieutenant General, you will fight with all your might, and swear to behead your lordship. If you are unfortunate enough to get it, you don't have to have any intention of soliciting surrender, please behead it with all the contemptible righteousness. ”

Hearing this, the flat hand laughed and ordered someone to send a knife and a bottle of wine to praise his ambition.

Only after the figure of Naoe Jinggang disappeared, he suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Echigo is a generous and strong man, and when he encounters fame and reputation, the lord of lust and guilt, it's a pity!" ”

Left and right were shocked.

Afterwards, some people commented: "Echigo's Uesugi bullet is correct, has been crisscrossing the territory for many years, and his prestige has shocked the world, even his enemies have to admit that he is unrivaled in bravery, why is the prime minister and lieutenant general regarded him as an idler?" ”

The knowledgeable sneered, "So what? Kai Takeda Daizen, isn't it also famous all over the world, do you know what the Prime Minister of the day evaluated? Retreat and turn forward, and it is as fast as the wind; Outflanking assault, its Xu Rulin; poisoning the people, aggression is like fire; Friendly troops are in trouble, and they are as immobile as mountains. These four sentences directly made Takeda Daishan angry on the spot. ”

Or ask again: "Since Uesugi and Takeda are difficult to see, I don't know who can be called heroic in the heart of the tie prime minister in today's world?" ”

After some discussion, the guard, who had been serving for a long time, recalled: "Lieutenant General Heisan often said that Oda Danmasa (Nobunaga) was heroic and swallowed mountains and rivers, and there was no greater hero in the world than this." It was also said that the three good repairs (Changqing) turned the clouds and rain, covered the sky with one hand, and the vice king of Fusang could be described as half the world. Of the daimyo of all countries, it seems that only Mori Right Horse Head (Motosho) and Hojo Sagami (Shiyasu) have been praised. ”

As the word spread, people in the countryside talked about it, and there were people discussing questions such as "how Hosokawa was in the past", "Ouchi in the past", "how in the Rokkaku dynasty", and "how Niko in the past".

Regardless of the outcome of the discussions, there is a consensus that "Lieutenant General Heishou, the prime minister, despised Uesugi Danmasa and reprimanded him for failing to fulfill his responsibilities as the governor of the Kanto region."

Such a humiliation is probably intolerable to most of the Warring States daimyo. Not everyone is as bent and stretched as Oda Nobunaga, and can be small and weak to Asakura, Honganji, and Takeda.

Moreover, Uesugi Kenshin has always been arrogant.

It didn't take long to hear that this "Echigo Dragon" was furious and thunderous, accusing Hitete of being a "murderer unseen in a thousand years", "the first villain in ancient and modern times", "disobedient and unsubordinate, especially above the Pingshomen", "the enemy of righteousness in the world", and what to say, "Echigo Iron Cavalry must fight bravely to kill the enemy, go to the king of Luoqin, kill this thief, and restore the shogunate." ”

Then, the reaction of the flat was very simple, he smiled and said to the left and right ministers: "You see, I said that Uesugi Dan is a famous and famous person, and he is really good at playing with words. ”

The relationship between the two sides deteriorated dramatically all of a sudden, and finally reached the point where they could fight with confidence.

This is something that the Hirate family has been preparing for a long time and is imperative, but for the Uesugi family, it may be so confident.

Fortunately, as an old enemy, Takeda Katsuyori actively stood in line at the first time and resolutely supported the actions of Uesugi Kenshin's "Kamirakujin King", saying that he would launch a fierce attack in Mino and Enoe to assist in the battle and jointly attack the evil great thief and his minions.

He was still a little sure of this, and the Takeda army had approached the outskirts of Gifu Castle a few months earlier, and had set fire to Hamamatsu Castle, and what the soldiers were pointing at was completely unstoppable. If you can get proper support and further hit the lair of Tokugawa and Oda, then the tie will definitely be left and right.

If they are not saved, their reputations will be discredited, and other affiliated forces will feel uneasy and have different hearts. If it is saved, it will have to face a situation of fighting on two fronts, the north and the south.

However, Takeda's calculations did not come off.

Because he underestimated the sensitivity of the Go-Hojo family to the term "Kanto administration".

Hite, Honhide, said that he wanted to change this position to someone else, and pulled out the Anfang Satomi family and Tokolu Satake's family were obviously made up of numbers and said it casually, and the real goal, I don't think it must be Sagami's Hojo clan Masa.

In the past, the two heroes of the Kanto region competed, Hojo had the "Kamakura Princess" as a cover, and Uesugi had the official inheritance of the "Kanto Governor", and in terms of status, the former was superior, but in the hearts of the countrymen, the latter was closer.

Therefore, for decades, the Hojo dynasties had a clear upper hand in all aspects of military and political strategy, but they have always faced endless resistance and rebellion, and they have not completely digested Musashi, Shimono and other places.

The pursuit of this title has penetrated deep into their blood and bone marrow.

I haven't seen it feasible before. Because the Uesugi family is close to the water, they are active in Shangluo, and they have a lot of face in the center, but then Hojo is far away, rarely goes to Beijing, and lacks enough energy.

And now, as the actual manipulator of the shogunate, Hirate Honhide proposed to replace the candidate for the "Kanto Governor", which can be described as a turning point, and the willows and flowers are bright, and the opportunity to get his long-cherished wish fulfilled out of thin air has been dropped.

The Hojo clan immediately sent Itabe Okae Yukisai to send an urgent letter to Kyoto, and wrote only one sentence: "The lord of Kanhachi Prefecture is willing to work with the lord of to protect the country and the people." ”

Seeing this short text, Hirata couldn't help but smile, and also imitated the other party, entrusted Tiger Zai Zongyi, and only replied with one sentence: "The lord of is willing to work together with the lord of Kanhachi to fight against the traitor." ”

In this way, there is no room for maneuver between Uesugi and Hojo.

The situation was sad for Kai's Katsuyori Takeda, who was anxious to mediate in the middle, and advised both sides not to care too much about the ethereal name, and to focus on the overall situation. He also said that this is the strategy of "two peaches to kill three soldiers" in a tie, and there should be a sense of cold lips and teeth, otherwise it will be broken by each one.

But neither side of Xiangyue gave him this face.

The Hojo clan felt that he was exaggerating and overestimating the threat of the Hirate clan, and he felt that as long as he took the opportunity to unify the Kanto region and take the land of the eight states, he would be able to sit back and relax. It's not like everyone hasn't seen Hosokawa, Ouchi, and Miyoshi back then, and suppressing doesn't mean that they have the ability to meddle in Kanto.

As for Uesugi Kenshin, it may also be difficult to ride a tiger. He has never succeeded in implementing policies such as "land seizure" and "retainers gathering" in Echigo, and has always left too much independence for the wealthy people. Once there is a concession in name, there may be a chain reaction in the future. Yangbei's Honjo is prosperous, and the new Hatada Shigeya may be ready to move.

And the flat hand Fan Xiu, who was far away in, suddenly became interested, and privately instructed his son Yoshimitsu: "Tang Tu has a literati named Su Xun in the Song Dynasty, and the famous article "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms" must be read. In particular, it should be paid attention to the fact that the Six Kingdoms' bribery of Qin Gou'an, in the era of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, was not a workaround to preserve the family name, but when it came to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, it was completely a way to put out the fire with a salary and bring about its own destruction. The difference is worth appreciating. ”

When Yoshimitsu first heard about the "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms", he proudly said that he had read it and could recite the entire text. But when it comes to the difference between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, it is a little confused.

Tieshou Fanxiu is not in a hurry, let him slowly understand, after a few years still don't understand, it's not too late to ask.
