"My lord, Oda Nobunaga clearly wants to stir up the relationship between the Honka family and the Takeda family, and I can't accept it!" Naoe Jinggang said loudly. His expression was very excited, and he seemed very worried that Uesugi Kenshin would agree.
"Jing Gang, your voice is too loud, it will make a noise to Jing Hu and Mao Song~" Uesugi Kenshin squinted at Naoe Jing Gang and said slowly, but his hands were wrapped around and he kept teasing. At this time, Yoroku was already 8 years old, and he was very handsome and beautiful, and his martial arts and literature were among the best among his peers, plus he was completely different from the maturity of his peers, and he was deeply loved by Kenshin Usugi.
One sentence made Naoe Jinggang unable to hold back a word for a long time, and could only look at his son in his lord's arms in a daze, his face was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I don't know how long I teased him, until Yoroku was blushing and kept begging Uesugi Kenshin with his eyes, Uesugi Kenshin stroked his pretty face with a wicked smile and said, "Little Yoroku, you have to grow up earlier, and then serve me with Jinghu and Mao Song~"
He nodded quickly, although this sentence made Yoroku's face even more crimson, but now he just wanted to leave Uesugi Kenshin's arms as soon as possible.
"Haha~Let's go~" Uesugi Kenshin laughed when he saw this, as soon as he put his hand down, he couldn't wait to run away, and before going out, he turned his head to look at Uesugi Kenshin and bowed down, "Your Highness, you and six retreated." After seeing Uesugi Kenshin nodding in satisfaction, Yoroku slowly left.
At this time, Uesugi Kenshin turned his head to look at Naoe Jinggang and smiled, "Jinggang, your son is getting better and better~"
"That's all if you can get the guidance of the lord, otherwise he alone is just an ordinary samurai at most." Naoe Jinggang hurriedly said.
"Haha~ Jing Gang, do you also make sycophants? But I love it! Uesugi Kenshin laughed, and then suddenly turned pale and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell the envoy of the Oda family, just say that I have understood what His Highness Oda thinks, and then accept the gift and prepare some return gifts." ”
"But......" Naoe Keixuna suddenly wanted to say something when he heard this, but was interrupted by Uesugi Kenshin.
"You send someone to Junfu again and tell the tiger about this. Tell him that Odawara was the time when the family accepted his affection, and for this reason, the family was willing to formally sign an armistice agreement with him. Uesugi Kenshin said lightly, "In addition, send someone to Odawara Castle and tell the lion and the Hojo clan that I am going to marry my sister Sentaoin's daughter Haru, to Jinghu." If they don't object, they just do it. ”
Looking at Uesugi Kenshin, Naoe Keixuna's mouth grew wide, and he muttered after a long while, "Lord, it doesn't seem like a good thing to do this, right?" ”
"Hehe~ What's wrong? It's that tiger who wants to deal with the Oda family, I didn't think about it that way~" Uesugi Kenshin sneered, "It's decided, let's go down." ”
Hearing this, Naoe Keixuna wanted to say something more, but Uesugi Kenshin had already walked into the room next to him, hmm...... It was the room where Jing Hu and Mao Song were resting. By the way, Umatsu is the son of Nagao Masaki and Uesugi Kenshin's sister Aya, and after Nagao Masaki's death, Uesugi Kenshin adopted him as an adopted son, who is just 12 years old this year. Tsk, 12 years old, what a wonderful age.
Sunpu Castle.
"My lord, what does this Uesugi Kenshin mean? Is he really not afraid of angering the family? If the family really breaks the alliance with it, I'm afraid that the Hojo family, who has just surrendered, will rise up immediately, right? Muto asked suspiciously.
Well, Muto Masayuki has been very calm and wise since he was a child, so after hearing the news, his first reaction was not anger, but guessing Uesugi Kenshin's purpose for doing this.
Hearing this, Takeda Shingen looked at Muto Masayuki with a chuckle, "Then think about it, why did Uesugi Kenshin do this?" Your father has been telling me all the time that your outwit has surpassed his~"
Not long ago, Sanada Yutaka accidentally contracted an illness, and although it was not serious, it also made him vigilant. Therefore, after a long talk with Takeda Shingen, he gave up the position of Sanada family governor to his eldest son, Sanada Shinzuna, and left Muto Masayuki, who had passed away, by Takeda Shingen's side, and returned to Toishi Castle to live in seclusion.
Hearing Takeda Shingen's words, Muto Masayuki suddenly pondered, and Takeda Shingen did not urge, while making tea, he waited quietly.
After half a ring, Muto Masayuki raised his head, looked at Takeda Shingen with some uncertainty and asked, "Perhaps, Uesugi Kenshin is forcing the lord to make a statement?" ”
Seeing this, Muto Masayuki seemed to have received some encouragement, and quickly continued, "Although the family helped the Uesugi family to force the Hojo to surrender, everyone knows that the reason why the Hojo family surrendered was only because the situation forced it. Even if Uesugi Ken is a genius, it will be difficult to expel the influence of the Hojo family in the Kanto region in a short period of time. ”
In this way, if Uesugi Kenshin wants to further expand his power in the Kanto region, he must have a greater deterrent effect. Moreover, the family or the lord of your ...... If there is a sudden reversal at a critical moment, Uesugi Kenshin will definitely not want to see this. Therefore, although Uesugi Kenshin said so on the surface, what he actually meant should be to force the family to make a statement, and completely tie the family and it to the same warship. Muto Masayuki said in a deep voice.
"Papapa...... Takeda Shingen applauded lightly, looking at Muto Masayuki's eyes full of relief, "Masayuki has such a strategy, no wonder your father can live in seclusion with peace of mind." ”
After that, Takeda Shingen chuckled and said, "Indeed, what Uesugi Kenshin really means is to let the family express its position, after all, it is not a casual thing to be an enemy of the Oda family, even if you are as arrogant as Uesugi Kenshin, you have to be prepared for everything." ”
"What do you mean...... Lord?" asked Muto Masayuki in a deep voice.
"Hmm...... I remember that Uesugi Kenshin had an adopted son named Umatsu, the son of his sister Sentoin and Nagao Masaki, who was now just 12 years old. Let's marry Kiku, and then give up a few unimportant castles in Shimono Province to the Uesugi family. Come to think of it, no matter how insatiable Uesugi Kenshin is, these things are enough to satisfy him. Takeda Shingen said lightly.
"Yes!" Muto Masayuki replied when he heard this.
Soon, the news came out that Kikuhime, the sixth daughter of Takeda Shingen, was married to Umatsu, one of Uesugi Kenshin's adopted sons. At the same time, Kenshin Uesugi married his sister's daughter, Harukhime, to another adopted son, Keitora Uesugi who is also the seventh son of the Hojo clan. At the same time, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family formally concluded an alliance. For a time, the Uesugi family's prestige in the Kanto region reached its peak.
