Kururi Castle, in response to Satomi Yoshiyao's words, Muto Masayuki just chuckled, "Your Highness Satomi, I believe you also know that this family intends to Suruga, and they don't have any interest in Kanto. So the only thing the family will do is to help contact the Kanto heroes. However, when you send troops, we will also be waiting for an opportunity to attack Suruga to help relieve your pressure. ”
Hearing this, Satomi Yoshiyao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he very much hoped to be able to defeat the Hojo family, but if the lion was driven away and the tiger came, that was not something Satomi Yoshiyao wanted to see. Especially in his opinion, this tiger is much more difficult to deal with than the lion.
Although Satomi Yoshiyao would not believe all of it based on Muto Masayuki's words, he also knew that Takeda Shingen's main target was Suruga. After all, for this reason, Takeda Shingen also lost his eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu, anyway, if it was Satomi Yoshiyao himself, he would never be willing to take Suruga.
After thinking about it, Satomi Yoshiyao gently tapped on the table in front of him, looked directly at Muto Masayuki and asked in a deep voice, "Since the Takeda family will not directly send troops to Kanto, how can we help the family?" Contact Kanto Heroes? With all due respect, with the current reputation of the Takeda family, I'm afraid not many daimyo would believe it......"
Well, isn't it too much for Satomi Yoshiyao to be so bluntly sarcastic about the lack of credibility of the Takeda family? However, this can't be blamed on Yoshiyao, after all, the Takeda family can even break the covenant of the Triple Alliance, and even lose their eldest son. This kind of person, when anyone is allied with him, I am afraid that he will have to think twice.
And hearing Satomi Yoshiyao's words, Muto Masayuki didn't get angry, just nodded and said, "The family also knows that it is impossible to make His Highness Satomi believe it with just a few words. In the same way, if the main family had come forward, I am afraid that it would have been difficult to bring the Kanto heroes together. ”
Hearing this, Satomi Yoshiyao was stunned, although what he just said was also true, but he did have some desire to provoke Muto Masayuki in his heart. But I didn't expect that the young man in his early 20s in front of him would be so calm. At this moment, he suddenly thought of when he was young, and it seemed that he ...... Is that what it looks like?
Satomi Yoshiyao's silence didn't make Muto Masayuki have any guesses, he just continued, "What the lord of this family means is that the family will pull the strings so that you and the Hitachi Satake family can reach an alliance, and if you can, it is better to reach the Tsuyokoko Triple Alliance!" Then use the influence of the alliance to call on the Kanto heroes to fight against the Hojo family! ”
"Satake's family, ......" Seeing Yiyao hear this, he replied noncommittally and lightly.
"Not bad! The head of the family also knows that there are many conflicts between you and the Satake family because of the Shimoso country, but the head of the family believes that in the face of the common enemy of the Hojo family, the contradictions of the Shimo-sa family are not irreconcilable! And the head of the family is willing to be this reconciler! Muto Masayuki said in a deep voice.
"Do you mean to let your family lose their own interests in order to form this alliance that I don't know if it can be trusted?" Satomi asked quietly.
"Naturally not!" Hearing this, Muto Masayuki hurriedly said, "According to the meaning of this family, I hope that you and the governor of the Satake family can sit down and discuss the issue of the lower head of the country." And we all know that the strongest force in Shimosokuni at the moment is the Yuuki family, which is inclined to the Hojo family. The head of the family believes that this matter is not without the possibility of reconciliation. ”
Hearing Muto Masayuki's words, Satomi Yoshiyao muttered, "In that case, Your Excellency can go to Hitachi first, and if His Highness Satake has no doubts, I am willing to discuss this matter with him!" ”
"In this way, I will retire first!" Muto Masayuki said in a respectful voice when he heard this.
After Muto Masayuki left, Satomi Yoshiyao slowly walked outside the house, looking up at the sky, but it was clear and cloudless. "It's going to change the sky......" Satomi muttered to himself.
At the same time, Echigo, Kasuga Yamashiro.
Kenshin Uesugi sat on the aisle of the courtyard, lazily watching Yoroku, who was already 7 years old in the courtyard, practicing martial arts. I don't know how long it took, Uesugi Kenshin slowly stood up and walked to Yoroku's side, "Yoroku, the sword should be used like this." As he spoke, he took Yoroku's hands from behind him and taught him how to swing his sword.
"Thank you, Your Highness, ......" said with a flushed face with the sixth child, maybe he was tired from practicing for too long? Or is it because they are already seven years old, but they don't even practice the basic skills of swordsmanship and feel ashamed?
At this moment, Kawada Naga came over in a hurry, and as soon as he shouted, "Lord ......" He saw the picture in the courtyard, and immediately held the rest of the words into his mouth. looked directly at the two people in the courtyard, and his eyes were full of an indescribable meaning.
"Don't be distracted, if it's on the battlefield, your stunned mind just now is enough to kill you......" Uesugi Kenshin said softly in Yoroku's ear.
"Yes!" Hearing this, he hurriedly looked at the sword in his hand again, but he ...... It seemed difficult for his mind to concentrate on swordsmanship.
Seeing this, Uesugi Kenshin didn't say much, just let go of Yoroku and said with a smile, "Practice hard when you go back, I'll ...... But I'm looking forward to you~"
"Yes!" Hearing this, he responded to the amnesty with Liuru, and then respectfully bowed to Kenshin Uesugi and Kawada Naga, and then withdrew.
Looking at the back of Yoroku leaving, Uesugi Kenshin licked his lips lightly, and muttered with pity, "It's still too small~" Just said, a strange smile appeared on his face again, "But the process of waiting for the fruit to ripen is also a very interesting game~"
On the side, Kawada Nagajin stood quietly beside Uesugi Kenshin, silent, until Uesugi Kenshin turned to look at him and asked, he hurriedly said, "My lord, Sanada-sama of the Takeda family is here." ”
Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin paused for a moment, and then looked at Kawada Naga in surprise and said, "Sanada Yutaka? Is it really him? How could he come?! ”
Well, it's no wonder that Uesugi Kenshin is puzzled by this, after all, although the Uesugi family and the Takeda family have negotiated peace, it is only a private matter, and the two sides have never really put this matter on the table. From the Takeda family's reduction of support in Vietnam, to the Uesugi family's war between the Hojo family and the Takeda family, not only did they not send troops to help, but turned to attack Vietnam, everything was just a tacit understanding between the two sides.
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is definitely your old enemy. Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin have been fighting for more than ten years, and even if they only rely on the movement of their own troops, they can still guess each other's intentions.
But now, not only did the Takeda family send an envoy, but this envoy was also the first advisor of the Takeda family after the death of Yamamoto Kansuke. As a result, Uesugi Kenshin had to carefully consider Sanada Yukitaka's intentions.
After a moment of silence, Uesugi Kenshin suddenly turned his head to look at Kawada Nagajin and asked, "Speaking of which, it seems that there was information about the Oda family some time ago, and it said that the Oda family suddenly began to increase the construction of the territory?" ”
Hearing this, Kawada hurriedly responded, "Not bad! Not only the construction of territorial facilities, but also the large-scale reclamation of wasteland for armament. In particular, Ise Province, where Yoshinobu Oda, began to open Azuchi Gakuin and Azuchi Medical College in various countries......"
Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin showed a smile of inexplication, "It seems that the tiger was in a hurry after learning this information~" Uesugi Kenshin muttered, and then ignored Kawada Naga's doubts, and walked straight to the room, "Bring him to see me......"
"There's no need to summon Naoe......" Kawada Nagajin was stunned, and was about to say something, but saw Uesugi Kenshin suddenly turn his head and look at him with a smile on his face. In an instant, Kawada felt as if he was being targeted by some ancient giant beast, and if he continued to talk, death would be his only ending.
"Yes!" Kawada replied loudly, and then quickly retreated, not even daring to wipe the sweat beads on his head.
Seeing Kawada Nagan disappear as if he had fled, Uesugi Kenshin shook his head gently, "Why isn't there someone as powerful as Yoshinobu under my command?" After muttering, he suddenly remembered another question, "If there is, then me and him, who will be the one who is conquered?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Shaking his head, he walked into the mansion and waited for Sanada Yutaka to arrive.
After a while, Sanada Yutaka slowly walked in with Kawada Nagakin. After entering, Kawada Naga bowed to Kenshin Uesugi, and then quickly withdrew. It seems that the moment just now really scared this kid enough.
"Takeda family Sanada Yutaka, I've seen His Highness Uesugi!" Sanada Yutaka said respectfully.
"Hehe~ The famous attack bomb is positive, I want to see you for a long time~ I didn't expect you to come by yourself today." Uesugi Kenshin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Sanada Yutaka also smiled, "In the past, I didn't dare to visit His Highness Sugi, but now, your family and my family have come to a critical juncture of life and death, and although I am afraid of death, I have to risk death." ”
"Hehe, there is no point in saying those things, the situation of the Oda family, this family will not know much less than you." Uesugi Kenshin said lightly.
Hearing this, Sanada Yutaka didn't get angry, but said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then I'll go straight to the point." The lord of this family hopes that you can reach an offensive and defensive alliance agreement, and I am willing to completely withdraw from Vietnam and China, and at the same time help you enter the Kanto region! ”
"Oh?" Uesugi Kenshin sighed lightly when he heard this, and then couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that the tiger has made up his mind to take Suruga?" However, if you send troops to Suruga and your family enters the Kanto region, the lion will definitely abandon Imagawa and defend the Kanto. In this way, there is nothing to take advantage of. ”
Sanada Yukitaka seemed to have been prepared for Uesugi Kenshin's words, and immediately responded after hearing this, "Although the family will not directly send troops to help you, the lord of the family has already sent someone to contact the Satomi and Satake families, as long as they are willing to help encircle the Kanto heroes, presumably even if you can't defeat the Hojo family in one battle, there should be no problem in taking most of the Kanto." ”
"And if you can form an alliance with the family, the Kanto heroes who originally surrendered to the Hojo family will definitely surrender. At that time, as long as you maintain your advantage, I believe that taking the Kanto region will definitely be an easy matter for His Highness Uesugi. Sanada Yutaka said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin nodded and shook his head, "That's a good point, but it is not known whether Satake and Satomi will be able to reach an agreement, and what if you do it again when your family sends troops to Hojo?" In addition, my family used to take in many Shinano's widows, and if I directly allied with you, I wouldn't be able to explain to them~"
"Then His Highness means ......" Sanada Yutaka asked in a deep voice when he heard this, and his expression did not change at all.
"You might as well give up your support for Vietnam and China first, and let your family win Vietnam and China first. At the same time, we should quickly contact the Kanto heroes to fight against Hojo. At the same time, let them take the initiative to send someone to contact their family and ask them to send troops to Kanto. Then, when you send troops to Suruga, the family will naturally send troops to Kanto. Uesugi Kenshin said lightly.
Hearing this, Rao is Sanada Yutaka had already prepared, and he couldn't help but be angry. Does this count as negotiations? It's obviously the Uesugi family who wants to take advantage of it! Listen to what he said, everything is done by the Takeda family, and the Uesugi family is just picking up ready-made.
But when Sanada Yutaka wanted to refute, the words that Takeda Shingen confessed when he left came to his mind, "Kotaka, although that Uesugi Kenshin is ostensibly holding high the banner of justice, he is actually just a treacherous person who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. So if you go, no matter what unreasonable demands he makes, as long as the general direction is right, just agree! Remember! I just need one result, take Suruga! ”
Thinking of this, Sanada Yutaka looked at Uesugi Kenshin helplessly and said, "It seems that Your Highness, you are the one who has settled on your family." ”
Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin suddenly laughed and said, "Haha! If the tiger hadn't been prepared, he wouldn't have sent you. ”
Hearing Uesugi Kenshin's words, what else could Sanada Yutaka say? "If this is the case, then I will repay the lord in this way." With that, Sanada Yutaka left directly.
Seeing Sanada Yutaka leave, Uesugi Kenshin slowly walked outside the house, looking at the clear sky, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The tiger here has already acted, what will the old immortal in the west do?" Hehe~ It's getting more and more interesting~"
