According to Shibata Katsuie's previous plan, Maeda Toshiie led a naval army to land from the Miwa Gorge seaport in eastern Vietnam two days later, killing people and setting fire to the town along the way.

Uesugi Keitora turned a deaf ear to this matter, as if he was completely unaware of it, and no military orders were issued.

"According to the report of the ninja in the apus, it seems that Shibata Katsuya is no longer in the base camp on the west side of the Kurikara Valley, and the two lieutenants, Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide, do not seem to be there, and according to the Utsuyo stationed in Echizen, these two people seem to be studying the tea ceremony in Tsuruga Port...... It's almost war, and if they leave like this, aren't they afraid that I will run and take advantage of it......"

"General! Outside the account, Naoe Kane-sama asks to see! "Flag Moto asked the chief general of the tent, Uesugi Keito, for advice on whether or not to let the seekers in.

"Naoe Kaze?" Uesugi Keihu frowned, Naoe Kanesu was originally a retainer of Uesugi Kenshin, and after Uesugi Kenshin died, he should have become his own retainer, but ...... I don't know if his emotional intelligence is too low? Or is Uesugi Keikatsu really appealing to him...... Compared with his own lord, he actually has a closer relationship with Uesugi Keikatsu, which makes him willing to reuse him, so this time the war did not bring him.

He didn't want to stay in Kasuga Mountain Castle, what was he doing here?

"Let him in."

"Naoe and Liu, meet the lord, I wish you a victory."

"Lord Naoe," Uesugi Keihu looked at Naoe who was kneeling on the ground with some dissatisfaction, "You don't serve His Royal Highness Sentaoin (Ayagozen) well in Kasuga Mountain Castle, what are you doing here with me?" ”

"Back to the lord, when I came down here, I officially obeyed the order of His Royal Highness Xiantaoyuan," said, Naoe Kanexu took out an oiled paper package from his arms, "This is filled with some medicinal materials that calm the nerves and nourish the brain, His Royal Highness Xiantaoyuan is worried that the lord and His Royal Highness Danzheng are too hard, so Teli asked me to bring this medicine, she also said, please be sure to accept it, Qianxin Gong also took this medicine back then." ”

"Okay, stay with the medicinal herbs, if you don't have anything to do, go back, you just became the chief commissioner of the city, presumably, there are a lot of things to do, I won't keep you, you have to go back again."

Naoe was disappointed, Uesugi Keitor's words basically closed the window for him to make a contribution in this war, and the words were completely dead, and he couldn't make any arguments.

"Okay, I'll go back ...... next."

"That's right! You can wait for a while," Uesugi Keihu said suddenly: "You know more words than I do (as mentioned in "North Vietnam Army Talks", Naoe Kane's knowledge is higher than that of Uesugi Keikatsu), then, you can write a letter to His Royal Highness Xiantaoin and Hua Ji for me, telling them that I am safe...... And also...... It's also very good to play the big man. ”……

At dinner, the flags reported, "General, Saito-sama and Honjo-sama have come from Mt. Minamiba." ”

"Both of them are here?"

"And Lady Shibe."

"Okay, you go and prepare three pairs of chopsticks, and I'm going to eat with these three adults."

"Yes." After Kimoto went out, Uesugi Keihu couldn't help but laugh. Although he hadn't seen these three generals yet, he already knew what they were coming from. These three guys must have suffocated this rain, and this time they must have come to attack somewhere......

"My lord! Excuse me!" With the sonorous sound of armor, the three men walked into the big tent of the main formation.

Hehe! That's right! When I came to see me in armor, I was really idle and panicked, and I wanted to take people out of anger.

"It's okay, let's have dinner together."

The chief of the color department said excitedly: "Lord, don't be busy eating yet, our chance has come!" ”

I saw this man who had just turned thirty years old holding his head high, banging on his chest with an iron fan, looking like he was holding victory.

"Don't be in a hurry, Lady Sebe. This battle is actually a contest of patience between the two sides, and we should be more careful. ”

"Haha...... Lord, it's a good thing to be honest and steady, but Lord, you're so careful now. This time it's different, and you can't do it if you don't want to. ”

"Why?"

"Now that Shibata Katsuji, Niwa Nagahide, and Akechi Mitsuhide have all left Kurikara Valley, my lord, this is the best time for us to attack the Oda Army."

"No way!"

"Ah, why not?"

The three generals were deeply surprised by Uesugi Keito's answer, the old and serious Saito Asanobu and Honjo Shigenaga were okay to say, while the young Sebe Xianchang was a little presumptuous, he rushed to the front of the table with an arrow step, and his whole body seemed to exude a tiger anger. "Lord, are you worried that old thing of the Shibata Katsuya is beating us again? Don't worry, they have more than 40,000 men left, which is almost the same as ours, and there is no military advantage to speak of. If the Uesugi Army, known as the 'strongest soldier in the world', was afraid that a Maeda Toshiya would do some tricks from behind and would not dare to attack, how could the family pick up the head in front of the world? ”

"Lord Shibe's words are serious, it's still early." Uesugi Keiho straightened his face and said, "Who said I'm afraid of the Maeda Toshiya who is making trouble everywhere in Echichu?" ”

"Small gibberish, the Lord forgives the sin."

"Color-sama...... And Lord Saito and Lord Honjo, listen to me," Uesugi Keitora complained in his heart, and now he can finally understand the thoughts of his righteous brother - Takeda Katsuyori (Uesugi Keiho also used to be Takeda Shingen's godson) before the Battle of Nagashino, and there is a group of arrogant, self-righteous ministers under his hands who do not regard the young master as their master is really angry.

"The more we can hold our breath, the more good we can reap. Even if Shibata Katsuya doesn't plan to use a trick, but really wants to fight a protracted war with me for a long time, we are not afraid, because Oda Nobunaga above Shibata Katsuya has already given him a death order - be sure to wipe out the family! But the family is different, we originally sent troops to protect Echigo, for us, even if we have a long-term confrontation here, there is nothing wrong with us, the family's grain and grass from Echigo here is not difficult, but for Shibata Katsuya? Not to mention that he had to cross a country to travel through the northern streets from Echizen to here, and Oda Nobunaga's eagerness to destroy his own family would also make him lose the mind of fighting for a long time and be distraught. ”

"But ......"

"Three adults, you are looking at the sky ......," said Uesugi Keitora smoothly pointing to the gloomy sky outside the tent, "Every year at this time, the autumn rain will fall for a long time on the northern road, and I guess it will start to rain in two days, and then the Koyabe River, Tsuhata River, and Tonami River will all be flooded, and from the perspective of topography, our position will be higher than that of the Oda Army, and even if we still do nothing, Shibata Katsuya will not be able to cross the river." In this way, no matter what he calculates, he can only fail in the end. ”

"But my lord," said the chief of the color department, finally found an opportunity to speak, "the enemy is now empty, should we miss the great opportunity to attack in vain?" ”

"Lady Shibe, you're in too much of a hurry. It's still easier to defend here than to attack the Kuligara Valley. After confirming that Shibata Katsuya is really determined to spend it with us, it is not too late to act. Let us be patient for a moment. ”

From beginning to end, he was the best in the color department, and Honjo Shiranaga and Saito Asanobu who accompanied him also sat on both sides and didn't speak!

"These two abominable foxes!" Uesugi Jinghu dared to pat his chest and assure that the color of the color department must have been instigated by these two old guys, although the two of them are now pretending to be fine.

At this time, the ninja came to report:

"General, Shibata Katsuya's subordinates do not break the light rule, and Sasa Seimasa leads six thousand men and horses into the Kuli Garo Valley!"

"What?!" Uesugi Keihu was surprised, what the hell did Shibata Katsuya want to fight, and what was the intention of sending troops at this time?

"Lord, did you hear that?" Sure enough, as soon as he heard the news, Sebe suddenly became excited, "Shibata Katsuie's intentions have been exposed, and we should also start acting on the 20th...... The situation is already very clear, and you must be unable to hold your breath. Therefore, please ask the lord to immediately gather the generals to discuss countermeasures. ”

As he spoke, the color was long and slammed his chest with an iron fan.

Is Shibata Katsuya really so stupid? Impossible......

Uesugi Keiho secretly glanced at the two foxes, but found that the foxes were also very surprised, and it seemed that they didn't know the news.

The "Lord ......" color department was already impatient, and the armor trembled again.

"My lord," Saito Asanobu finally spoke, "In my opinion, if the Shibata Katsu family takes advantage of our inaction and takes the entire Kurigara Valley into their hands, how is the family going to deal with it?" That would be a big disadvantage, the dignified Uesugi family would give outsiders the illusion of fear, so what faces do we have to live in the world? If the enemy really wants to attack, we should also move with our cameras in order to make them chaotic. ”

Saito Asanobu also said:

"Yes! Lord! Being led by the enemy by the nose is not the style of this family, no matter how difficult to guess the opponent back then, he has never flinched, if you really don't plan to act, then how can you be worthy of the humble father! Great opportunities are in front of you, what are you waiting for?! ”

All right! Uesugi Keitora feels extremely tired! As he spoke, he actually brought out Kenshin Uesugi! If you hesitate like this, I'm afraid you will really be looked down upon by them!

"That's good!" Uesugi Keitora finally made up his mind, "Gather everyone at once." It's just that, the three lords, this is just a few outpost battles, and they can't be carried away by victory just because they successfully uprooted one or two of the enemy's walled cities, and rashly send troops into the depths of the enemy. ”

"Got it."

(Hehe, every time a big event arrives, the protagonist immediately loses his sense of existence very decisively...... ）
