On the north bank of the Yugawa River, Uesugi Keikatsu set up a formation along the river, and the sergeants hurriedly used the formation curtain printed with the Uesugi family crest "Bamboo Sparrow" to enclose a place as the main camp of Uesugi Keikatsu, around the main array, the chaotic dragon flag of the Uesugi Kenshin era and the Bishamon Heavenly Banner fluttered fiercely in the wind, in the main array, Uesugi Keikatsu sat south and facing north, and was sitting at the innermost end of the main formation, behind him, was one of the "Three Treasures of Kenshin", the Aragami Zhang hanging pocket, this Uesugi Kenshin was beloved during his lifetime, At this time, he was looking at every Uesugi family general in this formation with a pair of hollow eyes.

At this time of the war, the Uesugi family was able to name only a handful of generals, the twenty-five generals of the Uesugi Kenshin era, in addition to the twelve who died of illness before the war, Mizuhara Kenken, Yasuda Nomoto, Shida Yoshihide, Daidai Shiri, Nagao Keiaki and other seven people all died in Wakamatsu, Honjo Shigecho was unable to participate in the war in Fukushima, only Shinzu Katsushiko, Chisaka Keikin, Iwai Nobuyo, Yoshie Dingzhong, Kaji Haruzuna, these five not very famous generals, it can really be said that the talent is withering, and it is not what it used to be.

Not only that, Yamaura Keiguni, who was most relied on by Uesugi Keikatsu, also died at the hands of Otani Yoshitsugu in the Battle of Jonan, who had been loyal to the Uesugi clan since before the Battle of Kawanakajima, and played a non-negligible role in the war against the Takeda clan, the Tetori River, the Godate Rebellion, and other wars related to the rise and fall of the Uesugi family.

The fall of the veteran made Uesugi Keikatsu disheartened, and the death of the young military general was a fatal blow to the command of the Uesugi army. Although nearly half of the 25 Uesugi generals died of illness, many of their descendants were still able to fight well, such as Shinabe Mitsunaga, the son of Sekinami, the son of Kanya Keitsu, the son of Kanya Keitsu, the son of Saito Asanbu, and the son of Takemata Keitsuna, Takemata Katsuna, all of whom became generals in command of the First Army after the death of their fathers. Gradually replacing the old military generals into the management of the Uesugi Army. These young generals performed well in the previous Mogami Raiders, because they were pinned on by Uesugi Keikatsu. However, under the attack of the Toyotomi coalition army, whose strength was completely above them, these rising stars were unable to return to the sky after all, and failed to reverse the final fate of the defeat of the Uesugi clan. Saito Keishanobu died in Nishinomaru. Takemata Katsutsuna died in the battle of Honmaru, Kan Ryōji was defeated and captured, and Mitsunaga Sebe died at the east gate of Honmaru in order to cover the siege of Uesugi Keikatsu, these new stars of the Uesugi clan did not go through hundreds of battles like their fathers and passed on to future generations, but became famous in the first battle and fell in the first war. Like a meteor in the sky, it will disappear into the night sky of history after shining for a moment, and it can no longer evoke people's memories.

The Yohokusa were once on the north bank of the Agano River (Yanghe) for a long time, so they were also called the Agaboku Clans. Among them, the famous "Yangbei Fourteen" is the most important Chinese force under the command of the Uesugi clan, and seven of the twenty-five generals are from Yangbei. It is enough to see the status of these wealthy families in the Uesugi family. Born in a wealthy family, it is natural to be reluctant to give up on the homeland, and for many years Yangbei has been making unremitting efforts to return to Echigo, and the Wuao Alliance can be achieved, largely because of the support of this force.

However, after the Battle of Wakamatsu, this militant faction of the Uesugi clan collapsed. The leaders of the seven strongest families, including Shibe, Ayukawa, Nakajo, Kurokawa, Takemata, Yasuda, and Mizuwon, were all killed in battle, leaving only Honjo Shigan who was in the field and Kaji Harutsuna, who was less capable, to preserve their combat power, and the Yangbei people were already dead in name.

Losing the support of the Yangbei people, the voice of the main peace within the Uesugi army instantly gained the upper hand, and Kaji Harutsuna, who was the Yangbei people, changed his original intention under a series of blows, and instead advised Uesugi Keikatsu as the main peace faction, hoping that he could surrender immediately and reserve some opportunities for the Uesugi clan.

Kaji Haruza previously guarded the main pill, and his strength was not damaged. Of the 6,000 Uesugi troops, 2,500 were under his command, but he was currently the most powerful force in the family. Under his influence, Uesugi Keikatsu's belief was shaken again, but Naoe Kane, who inherited the Naoe clan of Yangbei Zhong, was resentful of the serious injury of his biological father Higuchi Kanetoyo. Resolutely opposed to surrender, he felt that only by winning this battle and earning enough chips would the Toyotomi side pay enough attention to the Uesugi clan, and then negotiate peace with Uesugi Keikatsu, if he licked his face and sued for peace in the current predicament, it would only make Hideho and the major names look down on him, and he would not be able to fight for enough guarantees for the future peace of the Uesugi family. Naoe Kanetsu hopes that Uesugi Keikatsu will stick to the last righteousness and dignity, and not let the honor of the Uesugi clan be insulted.

Hearing this, Kaji Harutsuna and the others felt that Naoe Kanesui was ironic about himself, and immediately became angry, and scolded: "Is Yamashiro Mamoru saying that we are people who steal their lives? With the current ability of this family, how many chances do they have to win even if they fight against the water? What else do you say about peace, the old man still advises you to see the situation clearly, it's all up to this, don't be arrogant, everything is important to save the Uesugi clan! ”

"Arrogant?!" Naoe sneered, "You all see the hard work you have paid for your family, why do you have to be arrogant and say that you are a big man, but An Yi has been the main battle faction before, how can you advocate peace now?" Capricious, self-respecting, in my opinion, you are the most in line with the 'arrogance'! ”

The seven-hand group general of the Uesugi Kenshin era, except for the long time in the field of Honjo, only Kaji Haruna is still alive, he holds nearly half of the Uesugi family's troops, which is the key to the success or failure of this battle, Naoe Kanesui confronted him at this critical moment, which really made Uesugi Keikatsu pinch a cold sweat.

"Shut up!" The pre-war military discussion turned into meaningless mutual slander and curses, and Uesugi Keikatsu, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but roar. Although the two sides of the quarrel were the most powerful ministers in the family, Uesugi Keikatsu was the head of the Uesugi clan after all, and his anger still quieted the two factions.

"Whether to negotiate peace or not is not something that can be decided by our own family." The implication of Uesugi Keikatsu's words is very clear, making this decision must at least involve Tanaka Yoshimasa, and denying it will be a trap for the Tanaka family, and it is definitely not the work of a benevolent person.

According to Uesugi Keikatsu's instructions, Naoe Kanesuke sent someone to pass on Tanaka Yoshimasa to discuss. Naoe felt that Tanaka Yoshimasa had already shown his determination when he fought back, and even if he discussed it at the moment, nothing would change, and Tanaka Yoshimasa, who had turned his back on the Toyotomi clan, would definitely make a desperate bet and fight side by side with the Uesugi family.

In fact, Tanaka Yoshimasa did not hesitate to reject Kaji Haruna's proposal, and was determined to stand with Uesugi Keikatsu, stick to righteousness, and do his best to defeat the Toyotomi coalition army to prove the bravery of Tanaka's army.

Tanaka Yoshimasa's exemplary role gave Uesugi Keikatsu a great encouragement, and Naoe Kanesu's waist suddenly hardened after receiving Tanaka's support, and in the end, Kaji Haruna was unwilling to accept Naoe's proposal and decided to concentrate his forces to start a decisive battle with the Toyotomi army.

Yoshimasa Tanaka, who was about to surrender, at this time in order to oppose the peace? In fact, this was just a poisonous trick by Tanaka Yoshimasa, who understood that if the Uesugi army surrendered, he would be severely punished as the side that defected; However, if he turned against him again on the battlefield and was lucky enough to kill Uesugi Keikatsu, the result would be very different, and with this skill, he could completely obtain Hidebo's pardon and retain his family name and status. This is why Tanaka Yoshimasa usurped Uesugi Keikatsu to send troops, he did not send troops, Tanaka had no chance to turn over, at this moment, Uesugi became Tanaka Yoshimasa's stepping stone, so sad and ironic, I don't know how the "God of War" feels in the spirit of the sky?
