101 Even Dragons Have a Day of Feathering (Part I)

101

Is it hard to write in Sengoku language? I think it's easy......

Before you know it, spring is getting stronger. The peach blossoms that dot the banks of the Shinano River have already spit out yellow buds that are about to be obscured by the cherry blossoms.

Naoe is in a very good mood.

Last month, two retainers of His Royal Highness Uesugi Keikatsu, Mori Hidehiro and Yamazaki Hidesen, had a quarrel over some trivial matters, and finally evolved into pulling out knives and cutting each other, and his good friend, who is also his uncle, the son-in-law of Naoe Keitsuna, who just died after the New Year, Naoe Nobutsuna lay down for no reason, and when he was persuading the fight, he was killed by Mori Hidehiro and Yamazaki Hidesen!

Although Mori himself committed suicide immediately after the incident, Uesugi Keikatsu, who was furious, still wanted to abolish the name of the Mori family, and finally gave up under the bitter request of the Mori family and the Hojo family.

The Yamazaki family was also appeased.

The only trouble is the Naoe family, because the eldest Naoe Jinggang had no son before his death, so he let his son-in-law take charge of the family business, these are okay, the son-in-law is dead, won't the Naoe family be extinct again?

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the "eldest princess" Ayago (Xiantaoyuan) spoke: "Continuate that kid, I think it's okay!" He is still the nephew of the old man Naoe, so let him come to the Naoe family! ”

So, he "got married by order", married Nobutsuna's widow, that is, his cousin A Chuan, changed his name to Naoe and inherited the Naoe family!

(Historically, this event will be a few years later, and the story needs it, so write it early)

"Lord!"

At this time, Uesugi Kenshin walked towards him with steady steps.

Every time he sees Uesugi Kenshin, Naoe Kanesui has indescribable worship and admiration in his heart, not only because his lord is an invincible military god, but also because he has a very rare compassion and benevolence in this troubled world.

"It's a continuation," Uesugi Kenshin was not surprised to see Naoe Kase, "Echigo's peach blossoms and cherry blossoms are blooming, I'm here to take a look, are you like this too?" ”

"Well, my lord! I've loved cherry blossom viewing since I was a child. ”

"Me too, when I was very young, my mother took me to see the cherry blossoms at the Kasuga Taisha Shrine...... Now that I think about it, I think it's been more than 40 years. Uesugi Kenshin looked at the flowers on the tree and said, "At that time, my teacher, who was also my father's doctor, Master Gen'an, told me that the flowers bloom beautifully, and one day they will only return to the loess, and only strong branches can stand proudly on the loess forever!" ”

Japanese samurai always compare themselves to ephemeral but brilliant flowers, so it is difficult for Naoe Kanesui to understand this sentence that Genan said more than forty years ago.

"Listening to the battle report from the front, Saburo and they didn't fight well in Ueno." Uesugi Kenshin said suddenly.

The "Saburo" in the mouth of Uesugi Kenshin refers to the adopted son Hojo Shishu sent by the Hojo family, which is now Uesugi Keitora, after the New Year, he and Honjo Shienaga and other generals were ordered by Uesugi Kenshin to go to Ueno.

"That Yura Nari is just a few people, and our army has already won the victory, but the Hojo clan suddenly sent troops north to aid Yura, resulting in the defeat of our army......"

Uesugi Kenshin suddenly interrupted Naoe's words: "Kane, let me ask you a question." ”

"Just ask, my lord."

"You said that since Saburo is from the Hojo family, will he have an affair with his brother to deal with me?"

"My lord," Naoe suddenly smiled playfully, "You should already have the answer to this question in your heart, so why bother asking me again...... Since you dare to let His Highness Jinghu lead his troops south, it means that in your heart, you have already calculated the question of whether His Highness Jinghu will have fornication with the enemy a thousand times. ”

"I've counted a thousand times?" Uesugi Kenshin looked at Naoe and continued: "You mean to say that after a thousand calculations, I still dare to let Saburo lead the troops, which means that I absolutely trust him?" ”

"The lord is not suspicious, and he bows down with Liugan!"

"Humph!" Uesugi Kenshin laughed: "You know how to do it quickly!" ”

He looked up at the flowers again.

Lay down the Ueno ...... Of course, it would be better if I could take this opportunity to attack Sagami, and this time we will see if we can use other methods to capture that damn Odawara, Hojo and Takeda have a bad relationship now, and if I attack Hojo, Takeda should not make trouble again...... After destroying Hojo, he made an alliance with Takeda in distress...... I should have enough strength to lead the troops to Shangluo again...... At that time, I was sitting on the ten countries of Kanto, with tens of thousands of troops, and I was like a cloud of fierce generals, even Nobunaga might not be able to cope with it......

Ahhhh......h Why does my head hurt so much......

Uesugi Kenshin's consciousness began to slowly become blurred......

"Lord!"

In my ears came Naoe's eager and poignant voice.

At that time, Uesugi Kenshin heard the last voice before fainting.

It's about the same as when Shingen Takeda died...... Wait a minute! Uesugi Kenshin isn't dead yet.

After Uesugi Kenshin fainted, the high-level of the Uesugi family discussed and finally decided that Uesugi Keikatsu temporarily played the appearance of Uesugi Kenshin and acted as a "shadow warrior" to deal with political affairs, and on the front line, Uesugi Jinghu and others had no intention of fighting again after knowing Uesugi Kenshin's illness, plus the war was unfavorable and morale was low, so they returned the army to the north, and the last large-scale military operation in Uesugi Kenshin's later years was over.

Kenshin Uesugi, known as the "Dragon of Echigo" and "God of War", fell ill! This is a "big news" that can shake the whole of eastern Japan!

Although the Uesugi family thought they were hiding the news well, in fact, the spy ninjas sent to Echigo by the various daimyo smelled something different.

Although the Hojo family has achieved a "victory", His Royal Highness the Hojo Mino Mamoru clan has not yet thought of sending troops to the "Northern Expedition" for a while, who is Kenshin Uesugi? He's the man his "lion" daddy fears.

After getting the news that Uesugi Kenshin was sick, he didn't have much excitement, and in order to confirm the authenticity of the news, he ordered his ace ninja - Mad Demon ...... Oh no, Kotaro the Wind Demon infiltrates Echigo to gather more information on this.

Takeda Katsuyori was even more concerned about this matter, and although he carried out a foreign policy of reconciliation with the Uesugi family in accordance with the wishes of the late "escaped bomb" Takasaka Masanobu, in fact, in his heart, he still listed Uesugi Kenshin as the "number one" enemy on a "standing" basis with Oda Nobunaga.

On the one hand, of course, he very much hopes that Uesugi Kenshin will die soon, so that the dark clouds that have shrouded the Takeda family for more than 20 years will finally dissipate, and his pressure on the north side will be reduced a lot.

But at the same time, he hopes that Uesugi Kenshin will live for a longer period of time, and now that Oda Nobunaga is under increasing pressure on the east, of course he hopes that at this time, someone can come out to share this pressure with him, and after Uesugi Kenshin dies, it is estimated that this pressure can be shared by himself.

In this constant self-entanglement, he completely forgot that the dragon in the north was not dead yet!

In contrast, Oda Nobunaga's mood was much more stable, and although he did not suffer much in the last battle of Tetorigawa, he was still terrified by the strong combat power of Uesugi Kenshin and the Echigo samurai.

"Revisit! Revisit! That's what he said to the Koga ninja: "Don't come back and report until you get first-hand information from Kenshin!" ”……

In short, the Echigo Kasuga mountain castle has attracted the attention of the whole of Japan.

But no matter what the outside world guessed, the dragon always stayed in the city and recuperated quietly.

The "eldest princess" Xiantaoyuan Ayazen offered to take care of her younger brother Kenshin, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.

In fact, the "god of war" did not last long, and in the afternoon of the next day, he returned from the "Bishamen Heavenly Kingdom" in his dream.

In order to take care of his younger brother, Ayagozen left the Rinsenji Temple, where he had lived for more than ten years since the death of her husband Nagao Masaki, and moved to the annex of Kasuga Yamajo Castle to live with his younger brother and his three sons (Masashiro Umijo had returned from Noto).

"Hehe, sister, you're back again."

"Yes, Kiheiji, you're sick, you have to be taken care of."

"Heeji? Ever since my father died, no one has called me that. ”

"What? Don't you like it? Then I'll call you His Royal Highness. ”

Compared to the later "Silent General" Uesugi Keikatsu, Uesugi Kenshin can be said to be a rather talkative and active person, and he doesn't mind others making jokes about him, but the question is, who else would dare to do this except Ayagozen?

"Whatever you want, but I'd rather you call me 'Kiheiji' or 'Tora Chiyo' than the Okany, the Leader, or the Lord, and of course, ...... 'Sarumatsu'."

Ayagozen "poofed" and smiled: "When you were a child, you were naughty and active, like a monkey, and your father called you 'Sarumatsu', and after you heard it, you were very unhappy, and you went to cry with your mother." ”

(Ayagozen and Uesugi Kenshin were not born to the same mother, the previous mother of the domain was just a maid, and Kenshin's mother was the daughter of Nagao Hideyoshi, the lord of Suyoshi Castle, that is, Tiger Gozen, and later Nagao was Jing Fumasa)

Uesugi Kenshin also smiled, "I still remember the Chinese New Year's Eve that year, my father, mother, Brother Qingjing, Brother Jingkang, Brother Jingfang, and me and my sister, we, we all sat in the city and ate rice cakes happily together......"

"It's been more than forty years, and you were only four years old at the time, so you still remember it so clearly?!"

"Hehe, it was the happiest time of my life, how could I forget it?" After laughing, Uesugi Kenshin's expression suddenly became a little lonely, "Among the people present at that time, now only you and I are left......

Ayagozen comforted: "Brother, don't look like this, there will be flowers when the flowers bloom, father, mother, and brothers, haven't they always been watching you and bless you in the 'Bishamen Heavenly Kingdom'?" They never left you. ”

Uesugi Kennobu laughed: "I met someone in a dream, guess who?" ”

"Don't play tricks in front of me, if you let me guess, it means that this person is definitely not familiar to me, you want to see my jokes, I'm not fooled."

"It's really boring...... Uesugi Kenshin said stupidly, "I'll tell you the answer, it's Kakizaki and Izumi Shoujing!" ”

"Huh? How could it be him?! ”
