The Tsugawa family moved quickly, and only three days later, a diplomatic "intimidation" group consisting of Tsugawa Morimune and others set out from Ueno Castle, aiming directly at Kasuga Mountain Castle.

At the same time, the 4,000 troops who had been preparing to disband began to assemble in the Shonai area again, which not only frightened the Daihoji Yoshizou and thought that the Tsugawa family had repented, but also tensed the nerves of the people of Echigo, such as Uesugi Dingshi and Yanghoku.

Shinbata Castle, Uesugi Dingshi sits on the main seat weakly, although nominally as the guardian of Echigo Province, but Uesugi Dingshi has long lost real power.

Echigo was originally jointly managed by the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the Inusugu Uesugi family, but then due to some reason of "not wanting to water the number of words", the Yamauchi Uesugi family succeeded an adopted son to the Inusugu Uesugi family, so the Echigo Uesugi family was established.

The Echigo Uesugi family reached its peak in the sixth generation when the Uesugi house was the main one, which can be described as "dominating one country and dividing one side". But as soon as Uesugi was killed, chaos broke out in Echigo.

The guardian generation of the Nagao clan set off several times, and although they were all pacified, the authority of the Echigo Uesugi family in Echigo Province declined significantly. After that, Uesugi Dingshi inherited the Echigo Uesugi family as the adopted son of Uesugi Bono, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he met the new governor of the Nagao family, Nagao as a scene. As a result, Uesugi was tragic.....

The rise of the Nagao clan of the guardian generation will lead to the decline of the guardian Uesugi family, one after another.

Of course, Uesugi also tried to restore the prestige of the Uesugi family, and once hoped to welcome Tokimunemaru, the son of the Oshu boss next door Date Minoru, as an adopted son, relying on the strength of the Date family to help him fight against the Nagao family.

However, with the astronomical rebellion set off by Date Harumune, Uesugi Dingshi's plan was directly ruined. Today, as more and more people fall to the Nagao family, Uesugi is desperate.

"Ahem!" Uesugi Dingshi coughed lightly, then picked up a porcelain bowl on the side and grabbed a kimchi and put it in his mouth, "Hmm, the Kimchi of the Tsugawa family really lives up to its reputation, just a small piece will open up the appetite of the family!" ”

This is the first time that Uesugi has eaten kimchi, which is produced in Ueno Castle's Oowa Town, and has been fermented for half a year, which is the most crispy and delicious time without being too salty. The purchase of this jar of kimchi cost Uesugi 35 yuan, which is the cost of Uesugi for two days.

Due to the trade agreement signed between the Tsugawa family and the Nagao family, the Tsugawa family's goods were shipped directly to Kasugayama Castle, and coupled with the confrontation between the Nagao family and Uesugi Dingshi, there was no such thing to sell at Shinbata Castle before.

However, there is a demand for natural markets, and there are naturally merchants when there is a market, and many traveling merchants like to transport these scarce commodities to Xinfatian City to obtain huge profits. Such a small jar of kimchi with a cost price of 10 yuan was sold at a high price of 35 yuan in a turnover. If it is 35 yuan on the other side of the 1000 altar, it is already very considerable for ordinary small businessmen.

Just as Uesugi was enjoying the taste stimulation brought by kimchi with a comfortable face, the lord of Fifty Gongno Castle, Shinbata Tsunada, ran in from outside with a frightened face, "Lord Guardian, the dealer family sent someone to report that the head of the Izuzugawa family, the right guard general of the Tsugawa family, led 4,000 troops to assemble with Tagawa County, and the envoy group of the Tsugawa family is about to arrive in the family's territory!" ”

"Alas!" Uesugi said indifferently, "I can't eat this meal anymore, I'm really upset!" How could Yarokuro (Nagao Haruki) be so stupid as to provoke an existence like the Tsugawa family? ”

Nagao Harukei's wife is the daughter of Uesugi Dingshi, and recently Nagao Keihu came to ask Uesugi Dingshi to arbitrate the dispute between the Nagao family, and it is for this reason that Uesugi Dingshi has not expressed his position.

Of course, there is another reason, Uesugi Dingshi also hopes that the Nagao family can fight, so he may still have a chance, right?

However, now that the Tsugawa family has intervened, Uesugi knows that everything is about to settle.

"As soon as the envoy of the Tsugawa family arrived at Shinbata Castle, the family personally accompanied him to Kasuga Mountain Castle. Nagao Kiheiji has found a good backer, and Echigo has returned to Nagao's family from now on! After saying that, Uesugi still had that ancient expression without waves, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

After listening to Uesugi Dingshi's words, a hint of joy flashed in Shinbata Tsunada's eyes, and then he cautiously retreated.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Shinbata Tsunasada was blocked by several samurai.

"Bo Qishou, what do you say about the guardian?" Hirabayashi City Lord Katsucho asked eagerly.

Shinbata Tsunade looked back behind him, and then carefully pulled everyone aside, "Lord Guardian seems to be intent on arbitrating the internal strife of the Nagao family, and let Nagao Jinghu inherit the Nagao family!" ”

"Is that so?" Katsunaga Shibe looked surprised.

Kaji Chunzuna on the side also spoke: "Lord Guardian, did you give up power like this?" ”

"An Yishou, the guardian lord did have this matter, and there was already a depression in his words. In the future, this Echigo country will probably have to obey the orders of the long-tailed Jinghu! ”

"The long-tailed Jinghu is a stinky child who hasn't dried up, how can He De order Echigo?" Kurokawa Castle Lord Kurokawa Kiyomi was obviously unwilling to accept this fact, and his words revealed a slow resistance.

Xinfa Tian Gangzhen turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Be prepared to guard!" The thousands of troops of the Tsugawa family can be in Tagawa County, and they will be able to attack the castle of Xinfa Tiancheng in less than three days! Or does Bizen Mamoru think that with us, he will be the opponent of the Tsugawa family? ”

Hearing Shinbata Tsunada's words, Kiyomi Kurokawa closed his mouth. At this time, Katsucho Sebe spoke again, "Bo Qishou, for the sake of today's plan, we should immediately make an oath and send it to Tochio Castle in person." Otherwise, wouldn't it be too late when the dust settled? ”

"Not bad! The unification of the Jinghu Palace has been expected by everyone, and at this time, compared to the Jinghu Palace, it is also very eager for our allegiance to the north people! Shinbata Tsunazhen said with a laugh.

Yangbei refers to the people of the northern part of Echigo. Because it is located north of the Agano River, which is also called the Yang River, it is named "Yohoku".

Since the Kamakura period, the northern people of Echigo Province have been a union of people with strong independence, and after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has become a "cancer" of Echigo. Both the Uesugi family and the Nagao family suffered greatly, and even during the astronomical rebellion, the Yangbei people attacked each other, in short, the Yangbei people were the biggest "unstable factor" in Echigo.

More than a dozen national congregations, such as the Shinbata family, the Honjo family, the Sebe family, the Okawa family, the Yasuda family, the Gokono family, the Kaji family, and the Kurokawa family, were all members of the Yohoku. It's just that I didn't expect that the Yangbei people, who have always been unruly, would choose to surrender to the long-tailed Jinghu under such circumstances, which can be regarded as the long-tailed Jinghu's shit luck.

Compared to the good fortune of the long-tailed Jinghu, the long-tail Qingjing of Kasuga Mountain Castle is a little concerned, and at this moment the long-tail Qingjing has begun to regret it, regretting why he took this monk back in the first place.......
