It was already October 20 after Akechi Mitsuhide set out from Shimono, passing through Ueno and Echigo to Echichu. And the generals of the Kwantung region are already preparing to start an incident.

The Hojo clan asked Asai Masatoshi sent by the Imagawa clan to infiltrate Musashi again, and his task was the same as before, organizing the mobilization of Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Shinji, and Asahina Taichao. Okabe Motoshin and the others all gave their sons to the court as hostages, so naturally they didn't really want to raise troops.

Moreover, the three sects of Saito Michiko decided to let the three of Okabe Motoshin pretend to agree, and let them 'raise troops'. And the three of them are only limited to gathering troops and preparing for battle in their own territory, and at most they are on standby in the city.

In fact, even if the court didn't send someone to teach them, these three people wouldn't really oppose. At this moment, the Hojo family is just returning to the light, and this time will be the last big move of the Hojo family. Asahinai Taichao is the slightly wiser of the three, and he can see it clearly. Once the generals of the Kanto region rise up and attack it, it will be the best time for the Uesugi family to unify the Kanto region!

Although Asadachi thinks so, for now, the Uesugi family is still not fully prepared in the Kanto. Some of the territories in the southern and central Ueno belonged to the Uesugi family, but they lost contact with the Ueno clan as soon as they were attacked by the wealthy clans of Ueno. In fact, as soon as the war in Ueno began, the initiative was in the hands of Nagano Yemasa. If Nagano is on either side, then the pattern of Ueno will change decisively. On the contrary, the situation in Shimono is not so complicated. The Sano family, who previously annexed the territory of Minagawa Hirosho, had a conflict with the Utsunomiya family, which directly caused Utsunomiya Hirotsuna to fall to the side of the Usugi family. The most allies of the Sano family are in Shimono, and the only one is the Ashikaga Nagao family.

However, the survivors of the Dahu family, who were annihilated by the Ueno Hao clan before, came to Heyue City, and this is Dahu Xiugang. This will be the sword saint Shangquan Xingang in the future, and now he is still named Dahu Xiugang. His father was destroyed by the wealthy clans of Ueno because he defected to the Hojo family, and he also saw the true face of these wealthy clans, and now these wealthy clans want to take refuge in Hojo again.

"What? Big Hu Xiugang?! Asadaki was still dealing with government affairs early that morning, and only after being reported by Saito Rizo did he put down the brush in his hand.

"Yes, the self-proclaimed Dahu Xiugang is a strong man, who has always held a knife in his hand, giving people who are close to him a strong murderous aura." Saito Rizo himself was sweating, and if he really did make a move, he would have been killed with a knife.

"How many people does he have with him?" Chao Ding felt that even if this person came to take revenge, he would not be alone.

"In addition to him, there is another one, it seems to be called Bungoro Keikane (nephew of Dahu Xiugang)." Saito Rizo remembered the young man who was holding a spear behind Dahu Xiugang.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Let's go out and see you. "Asada knew that if he really came to take revenge, I am afraid that the two would have already stood in front of Asada, instead of letting Saito Toshizo run over to report.

After a while, Asadachi first asked Saito Toshizo to take Dahu Hidetsuna and Kaida Keikane to Kohiroma first, and he would arrive soon.

"See Chao Dinggong." As soon as he saw Chao Ding walk in, Da Hu Xiugang and Kaitian Jingjian greeted them respectfully.

"Excuse me, I heard that the two of you are fierce and evil, and I thought you were here to seek revenge." Chaoding is now determined, and the two of them handed over the weapons in their hands to the samurai outside the door for safekeeping.

"The court decided that the foreign minister was originally one of the sixteen guns in Ueno, but at this moment the situation in Ueno is no longer favorable to the Uesugi family. The father of the family was originally a retainer of the Uesugi family, but he was once suspected by the lord and provoked by the traitorous ministers before he defected to the Hojo family, and asked the court to set the public to be clear. Dahu Xiugang's words were like telling the court that the Dahu family had gone astray for a while, and he didn't really want to share a boat with the Hojo family.

"I understand this, the situation in Ueno is indeed unfavorable for the Uesugi family, but the retainers of the family who stayed in Ueno will not be defeated by the Richie clan in an instant." Chaoding has confidence in his retainers, and he has been able to learn some combat skills even if he looks at it over the years.

"Sagami Mamoru Zeng, Lord Omori Minori, Lord Nishiridada, Lord Shimichi Hosoya, Lord Shigesada, Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru, and Momoi Yoshitaka (originally since Mamoru Izu), the territories of these Uesugi retainers are too scattered, and if they are attacked by wealthy clans and landowners in various places, they will completely lose sight of one or the other, don't Asadako understand?" Dahu Xiugang now just wants to persuade the dynasty to pay attention to Ueno Country.

"I understand that at present, the surface height of the Ueno retainers is more than 40,000 and 500 koku, but 10,000 troops can be mobilized. Don't worry about this, shouldn't you two come here today to tell me that the situation in Ueno Province is urgent? "Asadaki himself can get a lot of information from Kato Duanzo, and he learned about the instability of Ueno Province a few days ago.

"Asahi Dinggong, the two of us came today to serve the Uesugi family. To be more specific, it is forgiveness, as a samurai, we should not cut it repeatedly, my father's behavior is really a shame for the samurai, and I hope that the court will take us in. "Da Hu Xiugang is indeed thinking about the future of the family, and his nephew Tian Jingkan is his first apprentice to follow him around, but there must also be a place to display his talents.

"My lord, if you accept them, you will inevitably have a bad relationship with Nagano Shinano, they were originally retainers of the Nagano family." Saito felt that the situation in Ueno Province, which had taken over the two of them, might deteriorate further.

"Don't worry, I greeted Nagano Shinano Mamoru before leaving Nagano's house, and he agreed to let me leave later, and asked me to bring a letter to Asadako." Daihu Xiuzuna handed the letter to Toshizo Saito.

Asada spread out the letter, and after reading the contents of the letter, he was indeed relieved: "There is no doubt that the Nagano family has always been a retainer of the Uesugi family. The Duke of Chao Ding is even more as the governor of the Kanto region to govern the Eight Kingdoms for the Duke of Qianxin, and the martial arts should be obeyed by our samurai, and the second son of the minister, Ye Sheng, will be sent to Kawagoe Castle within this month to become the small surname of the Duke of Chaoding. After the eldest son was killed in the Battle of Hachioji, Chan had already understood that if he wanted the family to survive, he could not remain by Chan's side. The retainers will become the strongest castle of the Uesugi family in Ueno Province, and the lords of Kohata Castle, Kohata Keisada, Nagano Yegu, Fujii Tomotada, Shirakawa Mikatsu, Kishi Nobuho, and Oto Castle lord Oto Left Near Guard, these people will be loyal to the Uesugi family together with the ministers. However, the two sons-in-law of the minister intended to rebel, they were the lord of Hawei Castle, Ryo Haio (Yukiquan Hagao), and the lord of Kurakano Castle, Kanai Hidekei (Kuragano Hidekage). I also hope that Chao Dinggong is very careful. At the end of the letter was a drawing by Nagano and a bloody thumbprint.

"The main hall of Nagano Ye is indeed a loyal minister of the Uesugi family, you go and rest first, the Inner Tibetan Aid Association has arranged it." Asadachi couldn't help but sigh at Nagano Yoshimasa's loyalty, he did become the last bastion guarding the Uesugi family, he was incapable of giving birth to a son, but his daughters were a bunch. This time, Nagano Yesamasa even put all the bets on the Uesugi family, and he only had his thirteen-year-old second son, Nagano Yeseito, come to Kawagoe Castle as a hostage.

"Asada, the Nagano family is doing this completely because the Uesugi family is already unshakable in Kanto, and if it were another family, it would not necessarily have such a vision." At this time, Michizo Saito walked out from behind the screen.

"Father-in-law of the pit viper, it's rude to eavesdrop on others, and you're still a famous family." Asada could only sneer, Saito Rizo is a real descendant of the Saito family, but Saito Michizo just recognizes it.

"This is meaningless, back then, Mino was also attacked by the surrounding daimyo, and the Tiger of Owari Oda Nobuhide and the Echizen military god Asakura Sodri were even beaten to the foot of Inabayama Castle." Saito Michizo was really the most embarrassed back then, and then he unilaterally made peace with the Asakura family, and Oda Nobuhide saw that the Asakura family had to retreat into Owari Province after seeing the Asakura family retreat.

"This time is a little different, there are more daimyo and wealthy families around than at that time, and there are a lot of troops mobilized." Asadachi spread out the map of Kanto and dipped a brush in ink to circle the map of Hojo, Yokose Yura, Sano, Numata, Fukaya Uesugi, Shirai Nagao, Sonacho Nagao, Yasunaka (Ueno Yasunaka family), Ashikaga Nagao, Kiryu (Ueno Kiryu family), Saito family (Ueno Azuma Saito family), Hawei family (Ueno Hawei family), Furukawa Okata, Koyama family, Soma family (Shimoso Soma family), Nasu family.

"Not bad! Better than I was back then! "After looking at the territories of these daimyo and wealthy families, Saito Michizo can only say that this is a real siege!

"I don't dare to be, but I'm most worried about Mutsu and Dewa. The Mogami family, the Date family, the Osaki family, and the Kasai family were all at odds with the family, and if the Hojo clan sent someone there to persuade the Ou daimyo to raise troops, the army left behind by the family in Aizu, Yonezawa, and other places would not be enough at all. The Soma family is even more ineffective, if it weren't for the last time they helped them obtain tens of thousands of stone territory, they would have been cut off by the Date family by now. "Although Asadachi left behind the Mori Takahiro brothers, Tao Harumi and his sons, Usami Takatsu, Kawada Nagakin, Yamamoto Temple Keinaga, Higuchi Kanetoyo, etc., in various parts of Aizu, there was no general general. I'm afraid that if you really fight, you will be broken by each one.

"As an outsider, your potential enemy is also a Takeda Shingen. The old man's stupid son is still allied with him! White to the Takeda family Higashi Mino 150,000 stone! "Saito Michisanichi is angry when he thinks of this, although now Saito Yoshiryu is seriously ill, and now the power has been handed over to Saito Ryuko, but it is good to manage a Inabayama castle with his ability!

"It was those 150,000 stones that made the Takeda family one of the million-stone masters." Chaoding can only sigh that Saito Yoshiryu's IQ is touching.

"Lord!" Asada and Saito Michizo looked up and saw that it was Jieshan Yunsheng who ran in.

"What's wrong?" Chao Ding didn't hear anything big about what happened recently, and he didn't know why Jieshan Yunsheng was in such a hurry.

"Yes, Satomi Criminal Department Shaofu Yoshiyao Hall lives in seclusion, and Satomi Criminal Department Shaofu Yoshihiroden has become the sixteenth generation head of the Satomi family." The news of Jieshan Yunsheng is amazing, if this is the case, Toki will follow the Satomi family with all his heart. Satomi Yoshihiro's mother is the daughter of Toki Yoriri, which means that Toki Yoriri will be completely loyal to his grandson, and it will be impossible for the Hojo family to adjust him after this powerful relative follows the Satomi family, and the overall difficulty of the strategy will rise.

"It's interesting, Satomi Yoshihiro will have Toki's help in this way, then the goal of the Hojo family will be ······" Asada seems to have guessed something, if he encounters the hard stubble of the Uesugi family, the Hojo clan Kang should not agree to the Hojo clan's risk, and may directly pinch the persimmon to find a soft pinch, and this soft persimmon is the Satomi family.

"Five are surrounded, ten are attacked, and multiple are divided. Hojo Shiyasu's strategy is good, but his strength is a little lacking. "Michizo Saito used to be known for his old spicy and fierce spirits, but now he has become a saint and has begun to be 'gentle and elegant'.

"Since he wants the center to blossom, then I will give him this opportunity. This is the situation that the teacher is talking about. "Asadaki wants to beat Hojo so much that he can't move anymore.

"Chaoding, you're right, but there are too many enemies this time. Like the old man, try to minimize the enemies you face directly, which will be better for your Kanto strategy. The enemies were eliminated one by one. "Michizo Saito is still counting on holding his grandson.

"Yunsheng, you ran Aizu once, and your territory is also there. I now appoint Tachitaka Shoken Haruken as the chief general of Aizu, and you and Mori Takahiro as the assistant generals, Usami Seikatsu as the military advisor, and Kawada Nagajin as the military commander. Your mission is only to defend Aizu and Yonezawa, and you must know that your enemies include the Date family, the Mogami family, and so on. "Due to the urgency of the matter, he can only tell him verbally, and as for the letter of appointment or something, he can only let Kato Duanzo run once.

"Yes." Jieshan Yunsheng immediately left Xiao Guangjian.
