In the second year of Yonglu, September 12. As the news of Honjo Minoru opening the castle with Honjo Castle and Fifty Son Castle reached Jomine Mountain southeast of Tenjin Mountain Castle, Iwata Yoshiyuki and Iwata Yoshikuni, father and son, were greatly frightened and immediately abandoned Jobong Mountain and fled to Mt. Takeka. Iwata Yoshiyuki and Iwata Yoshikuni planned to collect the defeated army at Mt. Takeko, and prepared to contact the Takeda family and fight the Uesugi family again. However, everyone, including the Iwata Yoshiyuki family's retainer Lang Party, was unwilling to fight the Uesugi family again, and Iwata Yoshiyuki and Iwata Yoshikuni had no choice but to flee to Kai Province with more than 20 close samurai. From then on, the rebellion of Kitamusashi was put down, and Asadashi was freed up to fight against the Edo family.

At the same time, after returning to Echigo Fuchu with his army, Kenshin quickly mobilized the troops of the Gendai retainers of Shangyue and Central Vietnam, the Qiben people, and some of the Yangbei people, and prepared to go to support the generals of Echichu and Noto.

When Kenshin's order reached Takashiro, Nagao Fujikei returned to Yashiki and before he could sit down, he saw Nagao Kori (the elder of the Shimoda Nagao family, Nagao Fujikei's younger brother and son-in-law) and Nagao Keiji (Nagao Fujikei's younger brother) approaching with Kenshin's request to send troops.

"Brother, the Fuzhong side has sent two groups of envoys in a row to urge the family to go out of the battle, this is a pleading." After Nagao Keiji finished speaking, he handed the book to Nagao Fujikei.

"What do you say?! Do you want Fuzhong to let your family send troops?! Nagao Fujikei looked at the petition asking him to send troops, and his face turned pale with anger.

"At present, generals such as Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru in Echichu, Okuma Bizen Mamoru, Kentada Hall (Nagao Keiren), and Sabasaka Bichumori were all caught off guard by the sudden blow, and the generals such as Usami Suruga Mamoru of Noto, Kojima Saemon, Jimbo Omi Mamoru and Tang Jin Shikibu Daisuke were held back and unable to move by the former ministers of the Hatakeyama clan and the Nagashi clan; On the Okuwa side, generals such as Sebe Repair and Okawa Suruga Mamoru were separated by the territory of Fujiwara Town, and they could not send troops to support in time. Even the Edo family of Hitachi joined forces with the remnants of Satake, Kasama, Kashima and other national lords to rebel against the Uesugi family, and the Fujiwara town government was unable to free up its hands to send troops to support the Goya Palace for a while. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit, it will be too late for me to do anything after Vietnam, China and Noto become other territories. You should ······" Kori Nagao was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Nagao Fujikei.

"Notes! What do you mean? Could it be that you still want the old man to raise troops to rebel?! Nagao Fujijing listened to what Nagao Xingli said, as if he was persuading him to raise troops to rebel at this time.

"Brother, you should know that my Shimoda Nagao family has never stopped going out since the moment I followed the Fuchu Nagao family! Whether it's Nagao Shinano Mamoru or Nagao Masaemon or Nagao Shozaemon, there are battles almost every month. I finally waited for the current succession of the Imperial Palace, but it was still the same as before, and I kept going out of battle, and the rewards were almost non-existent! You have only become one of the generals of the Seven Hands Group on the surface, but in fact, the power is in the hands of Naoe Yamato Mamoru and Honjo Misaku Mamoru, and you can't participate in core affairs at all! Nagao Xing explained without changing his color.

"Geji, you're so confused! Do you know what you're talking about?! Just with your words, the old man is enough to kill his relatives in righteousness and hand you over to the Imperial Palace to deal with! You're trapping my Shimoda Nagao family in injustice! After Nagao Fujikei finished speaking, he picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at Nagao Kori's feet.

"Elder brother, you dissipate your anger first, and the foreign record is also for the sake of the future of your family." Nagao Keiji immediately stepped forward and pulled Nagao Fujikei and Nagao Kori away for some distance.

"For the sake of the future of our family? According to the old man, he wants to push dozens of people from my Shimoda Nagao clan into the fire pit! Nagao Fujikei said after glaring at Nagao Kori.

"Brother, you know, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the last few years. Out of the battle Noto, Ueno and other places, that time there was no family to participate in the battle? Afterwards, the family's territory did not increase an inch, and even the privilege of guarding it was gone! The Zaodo Nagao clan did not have as many military exploits as the main family, but after being resealed, they obtained tens of thousands of stone territories! And the family still only has 14,000 stones! "Nagao Kori has long been dissatisfied with Kenshin's actions, but he has never had a chance to say it.

"There are many retainers under the command of the Imperial Palace, and there are also many indigenous lords in the two countries of Yuezhong and Noto, and the Imperial Palace must still remember the merits of the family, and if there is fertile land, it will still be left to the family." Nagao Fujikei is very optimistic.

"That's it, brother, you immediately repair a book, and say that you are infected with the wind and cold and can no longer go out with the Miya Xingden, and see how the Miya Xingdian reacts. If she still remembers the merits of her family, she will definitely send someone to comfort and reward her family. Nagao Keiji came up with a compromise solution.

"Captain Righte's plan is wonderful! As a relative of the Imperial Palace, this family will definitely express it if they hear that their elder brother is sick. "Nagao Kori very much agrees with Nagao Keiji's idea.

"That's it, it's almost time for the old man to retire, so let's pretend to be sick this time." Nagao Fujijing said helplessly. He wanted to go out with Qianxin in order to get more military exploits, but after thinking about it, Nagao Xingli and Nagao Keiji said that they were also good, he had worked hard for the Nagao family in the house for so many years, but his territory and power had not increased at all, but he had lost even the most basic privilege of guarding, which was the most infuriating.

"Brother is wise!" Nagao Xingli and Nagao Keiji said in unison.

In the afternoon of the same day, Nagao Fujikei sent his confidant retainer Nagao Carpenter to Kasuga Castle with the letter he had written.

September 15th. The generals led their armies to Fuchu, including Katori Yaheita Castle, Sakaki Castle Lord Shinho Keiyuki, Sakado Castle Lord Nagao Tokimune, Yunoya Castle Lord Higuchi Kanetoyo, Barnyard Castle Lord Heiko Bomasa, Sanjo Castle Lord Kanya Keitori, Shimokurayama Castle Lord Fukuoji Takashigen, Yosaka Castle Lord Naoe Keitsuna, Kaji Castle Lord Kaji Harutsuna, Setsuguro Castle Lord Ueno Ienari, and Senju Castle Lord Shimohira Yoshicho.

"Why is Nagao Toe Mamoru still in his domain?" Kenshin went up to the Monomi Terrace in Fukushima Castle and didn't see Nagao Fujikei's figure, which made Kenshin feel very puzzled. Among the retainers who led the army to come, Kaji Haruzuna, who had the farthest territory, had arrived, and it was reasonable to say that Nagao Fujikei could not still be on the way.

"Qiqi Imperial Palace, Nagao Yuanjiang Shoudian has sent his retainers to the mansion, and you haven't had time to see him in the past few days." Arakawa Nagami immediately reminded Kenshin and told her that Nagao Fujikei's retainers had been hanging out in the castle town of Kasuga Yama Castle for several days.

"Uh······ Shilling Jiadi An Yi Shou is my name and leads an army of 10,000 to Viet Cong. Kenshin suddenly remembered that he had been drunk in Kasugayama Castle a few days ago, and he didn't care at all that Arakawa Nagami had reported that Nagao Fujikei had sent his retainers before.

"Do you see or don't you see the retainers sent by Nagao Enoe Mori?" Arakawa Nagami asked a little embarrassed, this question had actually been asked by Kenshin once a few days ago.

"Let him wait in the big room, and I'll see you after the army leaves." Kenshin planned to see the 10,000 troops leave the palace first, and then go to see the retainers sent by Nagao Fujikei.

"Understood." Arakawa Nagami immediately took the order and retreated.

Subsequently, Kenshin didn't go to see Nagao Kikosuke sent by Nagao Fujikei until late at night.

"See the Imperial Palace, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time." Nagao Woodwork has been hanging in Ohiro for a long time, and although water and food have been brought in the meantime, he has complained after a long wait.

"Yes. What's wrong with Nagao Enoemori, why don't you send troops out of Echichu and Noto? Qianxin asked straight to the point as soon as he came in.

"My lord contracted a cold on the way back to Gaocheng, and he was unable to lead the army into battle due to the onset of old injuries." Nagao Carpenter said with a straight face.

"Nagao Yuane Mamoru is the genealogy of the family, and he is a relative, since he is sick, let's recuperate, and this time he can be exempted from the military service of the Shimoda Nagao family." As soon as Kenshin heard that it turned out to be Nagao Fujikei's 'sick', he had no choice but to open the net and relieve the Shimoda Nagao family of the burden of military service.

"I'm really grateful, but after years of fighting, the land in the territory of the Shimoda Nagao family has been abandoned a lot, you see······" Nagao Kinosuke made a look of embarrassment.
