Upon hearing this, Kenshin did not want to leave Echichu.

Kawada Naga, Nagao Jingzhi, and Tang people were all shocked, and now Honjo is in rebellion, threatening the heart of Echigo.

Uesugi Kenshin was reluctant to return to Echigo to quell the rebellion.

Kawada Changqin thought for a moment and asked, "My lord, but I'm worried, as soon as you return to Echigo, will the situation in Vietaka be unstable?" ”

Uesugi Kenshin looked at Kawada with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "Don't you think the timing of this rebellion is too coincidental? It reminds me of when I went to Koyasan to become a monk, and the Great Bear Bizen Chaoshu rebelled. It is very likely that Shingen was the handiwork of Shingen. ”

Hearing Kenshin Uesugi say this, Kawada Naga and other generals all felt that this was possible.

The young and vigorous Changwei Jingzhi said loudly with a little anger: "I don't dare to fight a victory or defeat on the battlefield, but I am playing a conspiracy behind my back, Xinxuan is not worthy of being a big husband."

Uesugi Kenshin glanced at Nagao Jingzhi and said, "I don't know if Shingen is worthy of a great bunfu, but if you can defeat this person on the battlefield, make such a judgment!" ”

Nagao Keinao was reprimanded by Uesugi Kenshin, and immediately retreated.

Uesugi turned to look at the topographical map of Echigo in the military tent and said in a deep voice, "In short, this Echichu must not fall into the hands of the Takeda family. ”

Eleventh year of Yonglu, May.

After hearing the news of the Honnojo rebellion, Uesugi Kenshin did not immediately return to Echichu to quell the rebellion, except for letting Naoe Keitsuna lead 5,000 troops back to Kasuga Mountain Castle to stabilize the situation.

Instead, he led the Qiben army and stayed in Fushan City in Yuezhong, which suddenly made Li Xiao, such a caring person, begin to be puzzled.

The land of Yangbei, so important, is the foundation of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin can actually be unmoved, content in Echichu without moving.

Is he confident that he is not afraid of the invasion of the land of his roots, or that he has some other way to retreat from the enemy?

In the face of Uesugi Kenshin's such a respectful move, Li Xiao, who intends to attack Yuezhong within this year, feels a little uneasy in his heart.

At the same time, Takeda Shingen had written to Li Xiao, asking Li Xiao to drag the main force of Uesugi Kenshin, so that he could not have to fight the other party.

However, it was necessary to maintain pressure on Vietnam, and at the same time, Takeda Shingen also said that Takapo Masanobu's army had already been dispatched to capture Iiyama Castle.

Li Xiao looked at the letter that Takeda Shingen gave him, although the letter said that he was safe, but what Shingen meant was that he still hoped that he could make a little name in Yuezhong.

In order to cooperate with the offensive of Takapo Masanobu and Honjo Prosperous.

But the current situation is that if Uesugi Kenshin does not move in Toyama Castle, Li Xiao will not dare to attack Yuezhong at this time.

At present, Li Xiao can only write to Takeda Shinxuan to state the situation, hoping that the other party can understand his current situation.

However, it is not only Li Xiao who is paying attention to the situation in Vietnam and China at the moment.

There are not a few people who hope to prosper in Honjo and take advantage of the opportunity of the Echigo rebellion.

Jimbo family, who has long had a disagreement with the Uesugi family, has long been reluctant to live in the Uesugi family, Terashima Jobada, and Shiina Yasuin of the Shiina family, and other forces, are also secretly ready to move, but this is also due to the fact that Uesugi Kenshin is in Echichu and does not dare to act rashly.

They were also as puzzled as Li Xiao as why Uesugi Kenshin was able to hold his breath so calmly.

In Li Xiao's suspicions, the speculations of the wealthy families in Vietnam, and the seemingly determined battle of Uesugi Kenshin himself, a whole month passed.

Honjo's long rebellion seemed like a trivial matter to Uesugi Kenshin.

In June, Kenshin Uesugi was still in Toyama Castle, and there was no news that he was leaving.

At this time, rumors were growing against the Uesugi family, and Honjo's lengthy offensive continued to expand, and even some light troops were sent to harass the vicinity of the hinterland of Echigo.

On the side of Kita-Shinano, the offensive of the Takeda family general Takayama Danmasanobu was in full swing, and he mobilized almost all the forces of the Kita-Shinano army and personally led a large army to storm Iiyama Castle in Okushinano.

The Uesugi family's retainer Takanashi Masayori struggled to support the situation at Iiyama Castle.

The role of Iiyama Castle was crucial to Echigo, and if the castle was broken, Takasaka Masanobu's army would arrive in less than half a day, and the Uesugi family's main castle, Kasuga Yamashiro Castle, would be under it.

At present, although Kasuga Mountain Castle is presided over by Naoe Keitsuna, its prestige cannot be matched by Uesugi Kenshin.

To command the movement itself is very independent, the Echigo countrymen, Naoe Jinggang is still slightly insufficient. ,

At this time, Uesugi Kenshin was still in good time, and in the face of Kita Shinano, Echigo's crisis was ignored, and it seemed that he had to die with Takeda Shingen in Echichu.

Uesugi Kenshin and invited the tea people who came to Echichu, and the Chinese people came to Toyama Castle to hold a tea party, even songs, and poems, and when Uesugi Kenshin was lucky, he would also have a song "Yashima".

In short, Uesugi Kenshin's life in Echichu is quite enjoyable, which makes Shiina Yasuin, Jimboho Nagaju and others like fire.

Uesugi Kenshin's leisurely scene also made Li Xiao, who was interested in finding out the news of the other party, even more puzzling.

In July, even Li Xiao began to feel disappointed, Uesugi Kenshin and his flag team were still entrenched in Toyama Castle.

In Okushinano, Takasaka Masanobu sent troops to besiege Iiyama Castle on one side, and on the other hand, he also divided his troops and captured Uezan Castle, a branch of Iiyama Castle, and for a time the Uesugi family's rule in Okushinano was even more precarious.

And Honjo Shiganaga has contacted the Daimyo Ashina Mori clan in Aizu.

As the Ashina family of Oshu and Date family, the head of the family, the Ashina Mori clan, at the invitation of Takeda Shingen, sent the general Oda Kiri clan to attack Echigo.

As the situation in Echigo continued to threaten, Li Xiaojing already felt a hint of conspiracy, and it was impossible for Uesugi Kenshin to be so calm at this moment and sit in Toyama Castle. This text is provided by Qihang Dagger Qishen

So Li Xiao ordered Yokotani Yushige to focus on investigating Echigo's intelligence.

Sure enough, not long after, news came from Yokotani Yukishigeechigo's intelligence network that Uesugi Kenshin himself had secretly returned to Kasugayama Castle, where he secretly met with the Uesugi family generals to reassure people.

As soon as the news came, it just confirmed Li Xiao's suspicions, there must be no two scares in this world, Uesugi Kenshin, one of them must be a shadow warrior.

And Yokotani Yukishige reported to Li Xiao that it was only Uesugi Kenshin's shadow warrior who remained in Toyama Castle.

The true Kenshin Zaichi, a month ago, had quietly left Toyama Castle.

When Li Xiao heard the news, he couldn't speak for a long time, and Uesugi Kenshin actually hid it from him for a whole month.

And just when Li Xiao learned the news, the wealthy families in Yuezhong were still kept in the dark by Uesugi Qianxin.

"What a humble letter, he actually put me along."

Li Xiao didn't laugh angrily, fighting with such an opponent really can't be careless at all.

However, Li Xiao calmly issued a mobilization order, ordering all the wealthy clans to mobilize their troops and go out to Yuezhong for the second time.

However, Li Xiao himself couldn't catch up, and ordered Kinoshita Koichiro, Kohata Xiaoxian, Fujido Takatora and other generals to immediately reorganize the army, and decided to personally lead the three reserve teams stationed in Chengsheng City to attack Yuezhong first.

Yonglu is the year of August.

It's the hot summer months.

Li Xiao led the three major reserves of the Divine Institute, the Snake Tail, and the Banner Body, and advanced non-stop, heading straight to Toyama Castle.

Uesugi Kenshin believed that the golden cicada's plan to break out of its shell was indeed hidden from everyone.

Due to Uesugi Kenshin's delay, most of this year's time has been consumed by him, leaving Li Xiao with an even shorter time to attack Yuezhong.

Now Li Xiao must speed up the pace of attacking Yuezhong and compete with Uesugi Kenshin for time, otherwise once Kenshin waits for Kenshin to put down the long rebellion in Honjo, he will return to Yuezhong again.

I have no hope for myself.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao ordered his troops to speed up the march and rush towards the current confidant of Yuezhong.

At the same time as Li Xiao sent troops.

Uesugi Kenshin officially confirmed that he was in Kasuga Yama Castle, and immediately issued an order to the whole country of Echigo to crusade against Honjo Shiranaga.

Uesugi Kenshin personally returned to Echigo to sit in town, and for a while, the people of the Echigo wealthy clan who were originally watching the wind understood their position and began to move closer to the Uesugi family together.

And it has been suffering from being attacked by Honjo Prosperous, and the city has been relieved.

And among the Yang Hoku, Nakajo, Sebe, and the Katsukawa family, who had always remained neutral, joined Uesugi Kenshin's side and launched an offensive against Honjo Castle.

At this time, Nakajo Fujishi, the head of the Seven Hands Group, had died of illness, and his son Nakajo Keishi succeeded to the position of the governor of the family, and launched an offensive against Honjo Shiganaga together with the chief of the color department of Hirabayashi Castle.

When Honjo heard the news, he did not hurry to unite the forces of the Daihoji family, resisting the attack of these three families while sending people to Takeda Shingen for help.

However, Honjo didn't know that he was fooled by Takeda Shingen, and the Nishiueno Army, which Shingen had been promising to Honjo Buncho, did not have a single soldier to enter Echigo. ,

Correspondingly, Masanobu Takasaka, who stormed Iiyama Castle, heard the news that Kenshin Kasugi had returned to Kasugayama Castle.

Takasaka Masanobu, who had always been known for his prudence among the four Takeda ministers, now gave full play to his true character of escaping and led his army to avoid the battle.

The raid on Iiyama Castle was withdrawn, and the army returned to Kaizu Castle.

Facts have proved that Takapo Masanobu's decision is correct, Kasuga Yama Castle and Iiyama Castle are only half a day away, if Uesugi Kenshin leads his team to attack, then Takasaka Masanobu's army will only be more than lucky.

As soon as Uesugi Kenshin returned to Kasuga Mountain Castle, the situation in Echigo was stabilized, and this news made Li Xiao feel even more urgent.

The only thing he can do now is to pray that Honjo can support a few more rendezvous under Uesugi Kenshin's men to buy Li Xiao a little time.

At this time, the news after Uesugi Kenshin returned to Kasuga Mountain Castle was learned by the wealthy families in Vietnam.

This news was like a frying pan, and all four sides reacted immediately.

Yasuyin, Shiina, who was already restless, first took the lead in Echichu, erected a rebel flag against the Uesugi family, and launched an offensive against the Jimboo family.

The news of the Shiina family's rebellion shocked Echichu and Echigo like a bombshell.

On the other side, there was even more shocking news, the old Terashima of the Jimbo family, Mizukoshi Shengzhong surrendered to the Takeda family one after another, and the East Tear, West City, and Tomisaki City fell into the hands of Li Xiao one after another.

With the establishment of Terashima, Mizugoshimori rebelled, and for a while, the southern defense of Toyama Castle was opened.

And Li Xiao united the forces of all parties, took advantage of the situation to sweep through Yuezhong, and went straight to Fushan City along Feihui Street
